Chapter 33: Forgotten River
Lu Heyu smiled and said, "Let's go. There's an old man selling delicious wontons by the river. I think you'll like them."
Su Nuobai smiled brightly when he heard it: "Let's go, let's go."
Xingyun looked at the three people leaving and resigned himself to his fate as he continued to deal with Xia Cao's subsequent affairs.
We can't let Wang Tai's family spread the news that I was doing something sneaky.
Rob's stall was by the river, and there were many lanterns hanging on the trees along the river, so it didn't feel dark.
"Lord Lu, are you still busy with official business so late at night?"
Lu Heyu smiled and nodded: "I'm a little hungry after finishing my work, so I want to come to your place to eat something."
Rob nodded with a smile and hurriedly wiped the table for the three of them: "Okay, okay, let's have wontons?"
"Rob, I have a big appetite, so I want a big bowl for ten people!" Su Nuobai looked at him with a smile.
Rob was stunned: "Can the girl finish it?"
Su Nuobai nodded seriously: "We can finish it, and we will make sure nothing is wasted."
Rob looked up at Lu Heyu, and seeing him nod, he went to cook wontons for them with a smile.
Su Nuobai looked at the flower boats on the river and could hear the singing and music on them.
Of course, she could also see ghosts floating around, and the night wanderer was catching some evil ghosts with deep sins.
No matter how much he runs away or how much he chases, he can't escape!
It makes the night in Shengjing not lonely at all.
Feng Zhi looked at the stalls around him. There were still many people eating, and occasionally he could see patrolling yamen runners and soldiers.
Su Nuobai looked at Lu Heyu: "Have you helped Robert before?"
Lu Heyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "He was framed before, and all the evidence points to him."
He stopped talking here.
Su Nuobai looked at Lu Heyu again. There was a light of merit on this man, and it was very heavy.
All the good things gathered together is not a good thing. No wonder the body can't bear it and is in such a tattered state.
Rob brought the wontons to them in a short while.
Feng Zhi and Lu Heyu had seen Xia Cao's body and lost their appetite just thinking about the smell.
But seeing that Su Nuobai was enjoying the meal, the two of them finished the whole bowl of wontons.
Rob's stall was doing good business. He would look at Su Nuobai from time to time. When he saw that she had really finished all the wontons, he was a little dazed.
Lu Heyu saw her put down the last bowl and asked: "If you are not full, I will take you to eat something else?"
Su Nuobai smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
Rob was a little surprised by what he heard. She had eaten ten big bowls of wontons but was still not full. Was this girl's stomach a bottomless pit?
He thought his wontons had thin skin and thick meat, and should be very filling.
Lu Heyu had no intention of explaining it to him. He paid the money and went to the night market with Su Nuobai.
This time it was Lu Heyu who paid the money instead of Feng Zhi.
Feng Zhi was responsible for carrying all kinds of food for her.
Seeing that Feng Zhi was almost unable to take it, Su Nuobai withdrew his hand, thought seriously for a while, and went back to study the space talisman.
Otherwise, the small bag on her body and Feng Zhi's hands would not be enough.
Lu Heyu looked at her with a smile: "If there is anything else you want, just buy it, and I will ask the boss to send it back to you."
Su Nuobai shook her head: "No, these are enough, I'll buy them next time."
She thought for a moment and asked, "Master Lu is very rich?"
Lu Heyu touched his nose and said, "I guess so!"
Feng Zhi rolled his eyes: "He is the richest person in this country."
Su Nuobai's eyes lit up and she looked at Lu Heyu without blinking.
Lu Heyu felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him: "Yes, is there any problem?"
"No problem, no problem. This way I won't be afraid of eating you out of money." The smile on Su Nuobai's face was so genuine.
Lu Heyu was helpless: "I'll take you back."
"No, no, Feng Zhi and I will be back soon. I still have to go to the underworld." After Su Nuobai said this, he grabbed Feng Zhi and disappeared into the crowd.
Lu Heyu frowned slightly. This girl just abandoned herself like that?
At this time, a carriage came to his side: "Master, are you going back to the mansion or to the Ministry of Justice?"
"Let's go to the Ministry of Justice first to deal with today's matters." Lu Heyu said as he got on the carriage.
Xingkong jumped onto the carriage and drove towards the Ministry of Justice.
There was an oil lamp hanging in Lu Heyu's carriage, as well as a table and a set of tea sets, and a shelf at the back with books.
"Has Wang Tai's family dealt with everything?"
"It has been handled. They won't say anything." Xingkong replied outside the carriage.
Feng Zhi has now adapted well to the shrinking of the earth. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, he doesn't feel much discomfort.
Aunt Luo had already fallen asleep, so the two men came back very quietly to avoid making any noise that would disturb her rest.
Su Nuobai saw that it was already late and said, "Feng Zhi, go back and rest! I'm going to the underworld."
"You can't sleep because you ate too much. Why don't I go and help you look after the Fourth Miss?" Feng Zhi suggested.
Su Nuobai looked at him in surprise: "The city gate is closed, can you get out?"
"It's not too difficult." Feng Zhi still had some confidence in this, plus he had the concealment talisman given by Su Nuobai.
"Be careful." After saying that, Su Nuobai opened the ghost gate and walked in.
The red spider lilies on the road to the underworld are still so gorgeous. You can only see the flowers but not the leaves, or the leaves but not the flowers. It seems that they really plan to never meet again.
The ghosts escorted the dead souls along this road. Their next stop was Wangxiangtai to take another look at the past of the human world.
Fan Jiujiu sensed the presence of the wooden sign and arrived in front of her in a moment: "Master Su, I thought you wouldn't come so soon."
"It just so happens that I have dealt with some things tonight. Since it's already too late to go to bed, I might as well come down for a walk." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the Cliff of Resurrection." Fan Jiujiu smiled and led the way for her.
If Su Nuobai wants to reach the Cliff of Resurrection, she has to follow the route of the soul. Here she does not have the privilege of shrinking the distance into an inch.
However, with Fan Jiujiu leading the way, she didn't have to travel a lot of distance and could take a boat directly from Wangchuan to Naihe Bridge.
The ghost who was rowing the boat was obviously stunned when he saw her. Since when did living people enter the underworld?
Fan Jiujiu threw him a gold ingot and said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
The ghost looked at the gold ingot in his hand and smiled: "I understand, I understand."
Before other ghosts got on the boat, he had already rowed towards the Naihe Bridge.
Some ghosts who failed to stop fell directly into the Forgetful River. Those who let go of their obsessions could naturally go ashore, but those who did not let go of their obsessions became vengeful spirits in the Forgetful River.
The ghosts on the boat were trembling with fear, not daring to move or approach Fan Jiujiu.
Su Nuobai sat at the bow of the boat, looking at the starlight floating in the Wangchuan River like the light of fireflies. These were all transformed from people's obsession.
If it weren't for those ghost hands that popped out from time to time, the scenery would actually be quite nice.
When they reached the shore, the ghost stopped the boat and let the two men get on shore.
The ghosts on the boat also rushed to get on, but many of them fell off due to the crowd.
