I suddenly realized that he was using the breathing technique of Xishan Academy. ()    |   (8)bsp;O   M

The secret technique of breathing has been passed down in Xichuan for hundreds of years. The advanced breathing technique can move forward in the water to the ship, or even smaller wooden boards, but this is already quite powerful. At that banquet, we had seen Xiao Yusheng sailing boats like this. At a relatively ordinary level, we can sense the trembling of every flower and leaf around more than ten feet or even further away, and the wriggling inside each person's five internal organs.

Now he is like this, he seems to be sensing.

Could it be that there is really someone who is dangerous, or an assassin in the dark?

Others around may not understand the breathing technique, but their ideas are naturally similar to mine. They are all very alert. Du Yan and the others have even pulled out some of the swords in their hands. In the night, the cold light is dazzling.

The entire town and this street were as quiet as if they were in a deep sleep. Only us and our group were tense in such a quiet night.

However, after a while, Xiao Yusheng didn't move at all.

I couldn't help frowning, and was about to lean over and ask him what he felt, but he turned around first.

Everyone asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

He glanced at us and smiled politely: "It's okay."

"It's okay?" Wen Fengxi frowned: "It's okay, you'll be there for a long time."

I immediately shook my head at him.

Fortunately, Xiao Yusheng didn't seem to care about his attitude, and said with a smile: "It's the student who is too alert, but it's not a big deal. It's a big deal for you to worry about it, it's rude."

His attitude was so modest that others had nothing to say. Liu Qinghan came out to smooth things out and said, "Forget it, it's fine. We have been rushing for so long and just arrived here, and we are in a state of tension. Let's find a place to rest quickly."

Everyone was not in the mood to continue talking, and they nodded, turned around and continued to walk forward.

I looked back and saw that the place where Xiao Yusheng had been watching just now, almost all the lights had been extinguished in the entire town. I couldn't see anything clearly under the dark night. I didn't know who was lurking in the dark night. Only the mountains and peaks in the distance showed a blurry and ferocious outline like beasts in the night, as if they were going to swallow us all.

We quickly found an inn, washed up briefly, and then prepared to go to bed and rest.

Unlike the Yan family’s previous arrangements, the inn naturally does not have a large room for the family of three. Pei Yuanxiu can only sleep with one by himself. I took Li'er to live in the room next to him.

I helped him get some things in his house. Before going to Li'er's room, I smiled at the door: "You go to bed early at night, and we will get up early tomorrow."

He smiled, leaned his head and whispered in my ear: "You are not here, of course I slept early."

“…”

I couldn't help but blush, spit on him, turned around and walked out.

Although such a remote town is not as prosperous as a big city like Chengdu and Yangzhou, there is always an advantage that it is quiet. I hugged Li Er and covered it with a quilt. The whole world seemed to be the only sound of her gentle breathing in her arms, and I couldn't hear anything else.

In such silence, I quickly closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

Everyone stood up one after another, and the footsteps of the servants and maids coming from the corridor came. I pulled Li'er, who was sleepy, from the bed, quickly washed up, and when I walked out, everyone was already sitting in the hall on the first floor of the inn.

Pei Yuanxiu heard the footsteps, looked up at me, and smiled and said, "Did you sleep well?"

I held the fence and nodded with a smile.

Then he looked at the people around him. Liu Qinghan, Wen Fengxi and Wu Yanqiu sat at the table, and they all raised their heads calmly and nodded to me. There were only him and Yao Lao on the table, but there were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, naturally waiting for us mother and daughter. However, it was Xiao Yusheng, who was sitting next to the table alone, and smiled at me politely, "Miss, morning."

I slept well last night, and I don’t know if I had anything to have at night. But everyone seemed to be calm. Xiao Yusheng looked like he had nothing to have, as if his actions that caused everyone’s nervous last night were just an unintentional act.

I also smiled at him and led Li'er downstairs.

As soon as we sat down, the store delivered breakfast.

Soy milk and fried dough sticks are common breakfasts for everyone. I was afraid that Li'er would feel uncomfortable if he ate it too greasy in the breakfast, so I ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles for her. After everyone finished eating, the store brought tea again.

As soon as I opened the lid of the tea bowl, I saw a bowl of brown-red soup inside, and it was cold.

Pei Yuanxiu immediately frowned: "What's going on? Is this overnight tea?"

Xiao Yusheng from the next table had already picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at me strangely, and I smiled and said, "This is actually considered overnight tea, but it is not bad. If you don't believe me, take a sip."

He frowned, and saw me holding up the tea bowl and taking a sip as if I was demonstrating. He drank it skeptical and immediately opened his eyes in surprise: "Um--"

“It tastes good.”

"This is--?"

"This is Eagle Tea, a specialty of Shu." I gently fiddled with the tea soup with a tea bowl cover and said with a smile: "Unlike other teas, this kind of tea will not break even if it is put overnight, and the taste will be stronger. We ate fried food this morning, and drinking some tea with some of it will not cause harm. Right, boss?"

The boss standing by was originally a little worried that Pei Yuanxiu would become angry, but then he felt relieved and smiled and said, "This lady is really aware of the goods. Yes, our family is Eagle Tea."

Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and took another sip, then smiled at me and nodded: "Well, it's really good."

"Right, right?" the boss said with a waist as if he offered treasures, "This is our famous tea. It is something that people pick in the morning. It is sold by our own, which is different from what is sold outside. Those past customers don't want the tea in the teahouse, and they only recognize our purchases."

"Is that right?" I smiled and said to Pei Yuanxiu: "Would we buy some back too?"

"Well, if you like to drink, buy some."

"Then, boss, prepare us twenty kilograms."

"Twenty kilograms?" Pei Yuanxiu seemed to be startled: "Buy so many?"

I smiled and said, "It's been half a year since I came out, so I'll bring some gifts to Ruoshi and Zitong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Fengxi and Wu Yanqiu at the next table both turned around and looked at me. Only Liu Qinghan did not move, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip.

The boss also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, twenty kilograms are not too much. In the past, there was a customer from the north who bought hundreds of kilograms as soon as he bought them."

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "The business is not a big deal."

"Everyone said that if you don't do business, you're for your family."

We all laughed and were too lazy to tell the truth or falsehood. We just ordered the boss to prepare twenty kilograms of tea and we asked someone to pack our luggage. After everyone had breakfast, as soon as they left the inn, the convoy had already arrived at the door to pick it up.

After getting on the bus, I arrived at the dock.

The river surface was still filled with thick mist in the early morning. The early fishing boats had already returned. You could hear the sound of fishermen joking loudly. The smell of water and fishy smell were intertwined in the air. There was also the long and powerful sound of boatmen on the pier, which made people feel a kind of homely and almost worldly warmth.

On the other side, several huge ships stood before us like mountains.

We, Liu Qinghan and the others, had only one ship, and more than one was waiting for Xiao Yusheng and the others. Obviously, the destination of these ships was not just as simple as going down the river.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, Yao Lao, who had been silent, disappeared immediately. I knew that he must have asked someone to inquire about Yan Qinghan's ship, and we must also know clearly that there was no Xue Muhua on their ship.

We rarely talked to him along the way, and we didn't know how to comfort him. In fact, no news has been heard from the Yan family. Everyone can guess in their hearts that Xue Muhua must have been caught by Wei Zhengbang, but I'm afraid he had walked a long way with their ship.

I sighed and held Li'er's little hand tighter beside me.

When she looked down, her eyes were blank, looking at the thin figure ahead.

Liu Qinghan stood by the dock, looking quietly below.

In the morning light, his back was straight, and his green clothes were blown by the river wind, whirling slightly at his feet, as if his people were trembling slightly. I subconsciously walked closer a few steps before I saw many fishing boats on the dock below. The fishing nets that were already hanging on the bow of the boat reflected the sunlight, reflecting countless silver spots of light, flashing like stars.

After living in the fishing village for so long, of course I knew that those fish scales were not shaken off.

Countless caught fish tumbling in the bamboo basket and thrust, the falling fish scales floated in the air, reflecting the sunlight and flashing countless spots of light. The vivid appearance almost jumped back to the river to continue the free life.

When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at him.

His expression seemed very calm, as if he had seen the most ordinary scene of eating and sleeping, without even a sign of moving. Only when the wind was blowing the fishy mist on his face, he shook his sleeves and gently wiped his cheeks, and his fingertips inevitably stained the water marks.

He smelled his fingertips and subconsciously frowned.

Without thinking, I turned around and walked away with Li'er.

At this time, Xiao Yusheng came over, bowed to me with a smile, and said, "Miss, the student will say goodbye first."

“…”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt a large shadow covering my back.
