Chapter 490: Former Comrades
Since they couldn't take the plane, Shen Weiyang and Leng Huaijin didn't even consider the high-speed rail or bus. In the end, they took the bus to the suburban ferry and prepared to take the black boat to Lijiang.
They were called black ships, but in reality they were just private cargo ships that were not under state control and were used by individuals for profit. Although there were all kinds of people on them and they might accidentally encounter drug smugglers, given the skills of the two of them, they wouldn't be a big problem.
Their biggest problem now is Lu Yunchen who keeps "hunting" them all the way.
"It's just a little shabby. Once we leave this sea area, we can buy a car and go there ourselves."
After Leng Huaijin negotiated with the boatman and came up, Shen Weiyang had already cleaned up the simple little room.
Hearing that he felt sorry for her, she smiled and said, "When I followed you on missions before, I had to sleep in the open air. Why didn't you feel sorry for me then?"
Leng Huaijin went up to help her put on the quilt: "At that time, I was thinking about how to drive you away, and now I'm afraid that you will drive me away."
Shen Weiyang put the quilt on, paused for a moment while pulling the corner of the quilt, then put the quilt down, walked forward, patted his face and said, "Then take good care of me and don't make me angry, otherwise I really don't want you."
Leng Huaijin grabbed her hand and smiled brightly, "Yes, I will definitely not make you angry."
How could he bear to make her angry.
"Why are you so stupid now?"
Seeing his smile revealing a bit of silliness, Shen Weiyang couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's get down to business. Have you gone to the boatman and inquired about everyone on the boat? It will be too late if anything happens after we set sail."
Just now, Leng Huaijin not only went to pay the boatman's fare, but also went to inquire about who was on the ship for this voyage.
Although they are not afraid of being troubled, they are on a boat. Once the boat drops anchor and sets sail on the sea, they will be nowhere to go. If someone is not afraid of death and fights with others, and the boat collapses, they will inevitably be affected.
Because black ships facilitated underworld transactions, such incidents were not uncommon.
Leng Huaijin frowned: "There are indeed some strange people, but it's normal to have strange people on a ship like this. As long as there are no major conflicts affecting us, it's fine."
Shen Weiyang: "Yeah, it's only three days, we just need to go out less."
After she finished speaking, she continued to tidy up the quilt, but Leng Huaijin was still standing there, not knowing what he was hesitating about.
After putting on the quilt, she looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Jin? If you have something to say, you can just tell me directly. Don't worry about my feelings."
"I'm worried about your safety," Leng Huaijin clenched his hands, his heart in turmoil, "I told you to stay out of my business, okay?"
Shen Weiyang was stunned. Looking at his serious expression, she felt a little uneasy: “Just tell me first, you are by my side. I can’t let you fall into danger for others.”
Leng Huaijin then spoke: "I just asked the boatman, and there really isn't anyone suspicious, but there's one thing... have you ever heard of ghost marriage?"
Shen Weiyang was stunned: "Why are you asking this suddenly? Isn't ghost marriage a way to marry a dead person? Is there still such a thing now?"
Leng Huaijin: "It's just my guess at the moment, but it's pretty close. When I came back, I smelled something wrong, so I went to take a look. I saw a female corpse in a wedding dress in the warehouse, and there were seven or eight more bodies piled up behind it."
how so.
Shen Weiyang's pupils constricted as he took a step back, the color on his face gradually fading.
Leng Huaijin hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Weiyang, although it may be a bit selfish for me to say this, let's not get involved in this matter, okay? We are not members of the Dark Night anymore, so we don't need to get involved in such trivial matters."
He stepped forward, nervously grasped her shoulders, and asked, "How about we just wait and go to Lijiang for our trip? If you're scared, can we get off the boat now and wait for the next one?"
Shen Weiyang knew that this was the truth, but if she knew about this kind of thing, how could she pretend that nothing happened and continue traveling?
Although it had nothing to do with her, she couldn't bear to see the suffering of the unfortunate woman.
Also, Leng Huaijin must have something else to say.
"Ajin, what else did you see? What did you see that made me feel like I couldn't just sit back and watch?"
If there were only a few female corpses, Ajin would not be so sure that she would not stand idly by. He could have kept it secret from her, unless she would find out sooner or later, and there were other reasons why she had to meddle in this matter.
Leng Huaijin looked at her scrutinizing gaze and sighed helplessly, "I really can't hide anything from you. I'll tell you."
He slowly loosened his clenched fists and spoke in a compromising tone, "I saw Sui Su. Also, I remember that the female corpse was Zhao Miaomiao. Do you remember her? Back in the dark night, she and Sui Su were good friends. She must have given you a lot of trouble."
Zhao Miaomiao.
The person who was once so lively has now turned into a ghost bride in a wedding dress.
how so.
Shen Weiyang took a few steps back, unable to accept it. Leng Huaijin supported her in time and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Sui Su should be here to take her body away. This matter is not unattended. Wei Yang, we..."
How about us? He couldn't say any more.
He understands Shen Weiyang.
It would be unlikely for her to sit idly by and watch ordinary people, let alone when one of them was her former comrade-in-arms.
Yes, he was a comrade-in-arms. Even though Zhao Miaomiao had treated her badly in the dark night before, in the end, he was a comrade-in-arms who went to the Paradise Banquet with her and fought side by side.
Now that she has drifted here, she can't just sit back and watch.
If he continues to talk like this, he is not worthy of being her lover.
So he remained silent, just helped her sit on the bed and poured her a cup of hot water.
She took the cup, looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "Ajin, I'm sorry. I don't want to cause you any trouble, but I really can't sit back and watch. I can't accept that a comrade who once fought alongside me is being dragged into a ghost marriage after his death."
Although she and Zhao Miaomiao had had disagreements in the past, these were trivial matters not worth mentioning in the context of their life and death experiences together.
Looking back now, it is only their mutual support amidst the hail of bullets.
"I understand," Leng Huaijin reached out and patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, I'll go out and find Sui Su during dinner later. I'll ask her to come over and ask her what's going on. Let's get to the bottom of the situation first."
Shen Weiyang looked at him gratefully, but was interrupted by him before she could say anything.
"There is no distinction between us. I am willing to accompany you in doing whatever you want to do."
