Chapter 264 Black Water Otter

"My second cousin is actually very smart, handsome and smart, that's great!" Baby Ruoxi thought, looking at the young man riding a horse outside through the opened curtain. She smiled with her tiny teeth bared.

Xiaoyue looked outside through the curtain. The change in Xiao Yuting really made her feel sad a few days ago.

She held the child in her arms when he was young, and later he always followed her, calling her aunt, chasing and running.

As a result, after growing up, he had other thoughts.

Ci Xin looked at Xiaoyue and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you think that the second cousin is more reliable!"

"You know me very well!" Xiaoyue said.

"Well, just like when you were on the mountain and put a dripping Guanyin in my teacup, no matter how well you pretend, I will see through you!" Ci Xin said.

"Didn't you offend me before?" Xiao Yue gritted her teeth: "You caused me to be punished by my master!"

The two of them glanced at each other, causing Aunt Gui, who was heating rice porridge for the little princess, to laugh and shake her head.

"Aunt, there is a lake in front, and there are a lot of fish in the lake!" Xiao Yuheng's voice came.

"Okay, let's take a break. Doctor Wen's herb carriage should be here soon. When they arrive, we will set off again." Xiao Yue said.

A group of people got off the carriage and pitched a tent by the lake.

However, baby Ruoxi must not sleep in the tent.

The carriage was shaking all the way, and her bones were all broken. Although she was fine in Nanny Gui's arms, she was still sleeping and waking up, facing the roof of the carriage.

"Go, go, go..."

Baby Ruoxi raised her hand and pointed outside, trying to jump out of the word.

"Xi'er wants to go out to play?" Xiaoyue looked at the little guy in her arms and said with a smile: "Okay, mother will take Xi'er to the lake to see the big fish."

After getting off the carriage and coming to the lake, Xiaoyue looked at the scene in the lake and said: "There are many fish in this lake, which is a good thing. The people nearby can catch some fish and stew some fish soup and cook it as a dish. It's also good."

"Few people come to fish in this area." Ci Xin walked over and said.

"Why?" Xiaoyue turned around and asked.

"People and boats cannot be put down in this lake. If people or boats go down, they will be swallowed. After so many times, the people will take a detour." Ci Xin said.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Xiao Yue looked at the guards by the lake, who were throwing forks into the water.

The delicious fish swam in the water, and as expected, a fish was caught with a fork.

"Hahaha, let's make fish soup for the little princess at noon. This kind of wild fish is very nutritious."

"Yes, yes, the most original taste, the best!"

The followers were all young people in their teens. The little princess was cute and always smiled at them, and they all liked the little girl very much.

"There is something in the water, the same as in the moat!" Baby Ruoxi looked into the water, and her little eyebrows were twisted into ropes.

"Be careful!" Ci Xin suddenly shouted softly. His figure flashed and he was in front of the two soldiers. Then, he raised his hand and pushed them out of the lake.

"Bang!"

In the water, a stream of black air hit Ci Xin's back.

"Ci Xin!" Before Ruoxi could react, she felt that her mother was also very fierce. She held her in one hand and her feet were already flying past. In her other hand, she had already swung out a long whip.

"Black otter!" Ruoxi saw clearly the thing with long claws sticking out of the water. She frowned and moved her little hand, and a breath of air passed by.

"Boom!"

The black otter turned around and saw what Xiaoyue was holding in her arms. It turned around and dived into the water.

Xiaoyue rushed to the water's edge. She put away the long whip and exhaled.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Of course I'm fine!" Ci Xin glanced at baby Ruoxi, then he turned around, looked at the scene in the lake, and shook his head and said, "Is it the one that hurt people? Could it be that no one has been able to discover that it was it?"

"Princess, Imperial Master, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I went to the village to ask, and they said that this water monster only appeared two years ago. This year it is particularly ferocious and has dragged dozens of passers-by into the water." The guard went to investigate and reported back.

"Dozens? How did they know?" Xiao Yuheng asked.

"It was based on the things those people left behind." The guard said.

"Don't they remind people?" Xiao Yue turned around and looked at the village a mile away, and said.

"Maybe, they don't want to remind you!" Ci Xin said, "Years ago, I came back from the south and passed by here. I also heard about it. However, there was no one by the lake at that time. I happened to be going back to Beijing, so I didn't ask about it carefully. I just heard from the people that fishing in the lake was not allowed. I was thinking about finding time to check it out, but I forgot about it later!"

"This is the territory of Yunzhou. I don't know if the government of Yunzhou has paid attention to this matter." Xiao Yuheng said.

"How could the black otter appear here? If so, the water in the stone dragon in Yunzhou must be full of black otter. When someone goes into the water to pick up something, the otter will cause trouble, and some charlatans will talk nonsense. I guess some things will be deified."

Baby Ruoxi figured out this thing, and she turned to look at Ci En.

"Don't look at me. I can't handle that thing, but maybe you can." Ci Xin came up, she held Xiao Xi'er in her arms, and said, "Let's go, let's go and study it."

Xiao Yue watched the big and small walk away, and then she turned around to look at the two soldiers.

"We've caught a few fish, it's okay, go cook and eat first." Xiao Yue ordered.

Hong Mei and Nanny Gui came over, and seeing Ci Xin walking away, Hong Mei took the initiative to follow.

"Can the Imperial Master be assured?" Nanny Gui asked.

"It's okay, he won't put Xiao Xi'er in danger." Xiao Yue trusted Ci Xin's guy, but she felt that he was not so reliable. He would not deliberately hurt Xiao Xi'er, but that didn't mean he would carefully protect Xiao Xi'er.

Nanny Gui still looked at Ci Xin with concern, then she turned around and followed the princess to look at the two soldiers.

"It's so scary, what is that? It's all black, so big, and its arms are so long!"

"I saw its eyes, they were really scary, they were red, as if they wanted to eat people."

The two soldiers trembled, they looked at the water in fear.

If they were facing an enemy, they could still move forward without fear.

However, they were now facing a monster with extremely strong attack power, they were scared.

"It's just an otter, but it's an otter that looks a bit weird!" Xiao Yue said.
