The other party was obviously a little surprised, but more of a rage and humiliation as if he had been hit in a sore spot.
"Let go!"
She sneered and gripped the whip even harder.
The man next to him whispered.
"It's okay, let it go."
She then let go, and the young man, who was struggling with his strength, took several steps back and stumbled before sitting on a big man.
There is nothing more shameful than seeing your master vulnerable and embarrassed in front of the enemy.
Xiao Nanhui felt that the most embarrassing people in the entire inn right now were the big men in the room who were posing with swords drawn.
Their knives had not yet been put away, and they didn't know where to look for a moment, so they could only stare fiercely at the floor of the inn and the innkeeper under the table.
The boy was really angry this time, and all the fangs on his body were shaking with anger.
"Do you know who I am?!"
Xiao Nanhui scratched his ears, but before he could utter a few mocking words, the man's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Know."
The only person in the entire inn who was not wearing a weapon walked straight towards the young man.
His steps were light, his movements were slow, and his manner when he spoke was gentle, but if you looked into his eyes, you would know that they were a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss and as cold as distant stars.
A person with eyes like these has no need for weapons.
"It's getting late. Every moment of delay will only make us more sleepy. It's better to set off early. Or has your Shen family become so impoverished that you don't even have a boat?"
Shen family?
Xiao Nanhui was stunned.
This young man jumping up and down and chattering in front of me is actually from the Shen family in Huozhou?
The young man was also stunned, as if he was struggling with the situation before him, wondering whether it saved his face or made him even more embarrassed.
After a long time, he stood up and regained the expression he had when he first appeared. His casual look revealed a bit of stubbornness that showed he was unwilling to obey discipline.
"If you say anything you shouldn't when you see me, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!"
Of course, he seemed to know that these words had no deterrent effect, so he walked out of the inn before he finished speaking.
Outside, the rain had stopped, but the wind was still blowing. The large herd of cattle and sheep that had been blocking the road half an hour earlier remained almost motionless. The lazy, gentle animals wagged their tails, drowsy in the rain and heat, and some had already begun to enter the stable to grab the beans from the trough.
Seeing this, the young man raised his whip and gently swung it in the air. With a crack as crisp as thunder, the herds of cattle and sheep were instantly startled awake, and then, as if separated by an invisible wall, they pushed and shoved to the sides, forcing a path through them.
Xiao Nanhui looked at it in amazement.
He's not very good at fighting, but he's pretty good at herding sheep.
The lazy-looking shepherds not far away saluted solemnly when they heard the whip sound. Only then did she fully understand the situation of the night.
Whether it was the herds of cattle and sheep blocking the road or the ambush set up in the inn early in the morning, they were all intended to delay them in Yueyuan Town.
There is no boat that can leave the Daxu Ferry tonight. If you want to leave this place, you can only step onto the deck of his Shen family.
But when he turned around and saw the cow dung and sheep manure on the ground, Xiao Nanhui's expression became complicated again.
It's such a pity that a good plan to lure someone into a trap was turned into a farce by a little kid with little brains.
The young man not far away had no idea. He put away his whip and seemed to have forgotten the humiliation he had suffered before. He looked at the three of them as if they were cattle and sheep.
"Are you leaving or not? Are you waiting for me to invite you?"
Xiao Nanhui knew in his heart that he had to go on this trip, but he still didn't want to let the other party off.
"Where on earth are you taking us, you little devil?"
The young man turned around in frustration, and the whip that he had just wrapped around his waist was ready to move again. He struggled for a long time before giving up and just threw down a sentence.
"My last name is Shen, Shen Linlin. As for where we're going, you'll know once you get on board."
******************
In June, the Hun River is full of water, rushing towards the east, almost merging with the crimson sky.
The moon tonight is terrifyingly large, hanging low beneath the sky, as if if it were any heavier it would fall into the rolling river.
The pointed bow of the boat broke through the turbid river water, as if it was traveling to the other side of the underworld.
Everyone on the boat sat upright with serious expressions, as if they were going to a banquet hosted by the King of Hell and his little ghosts.
The less people talk, the quieter it is, and the quieter it is, the less likely someone is to speak first.
That's how deathly silence came about.
On the entire ship, no one could surpass the Emperor in his skill at playing dead in silence. Next in line was Ding Weixiang, then the group of burly men from the inn, and then perhaps the young man from the Shen family. And finally...
Xiao Nanhui cleared his throat.
She was so uncomfortable that she almost drank the whole pot of tea on the bamboo table in front of her. Now she finally had an excuse to speak.
"Excuse me, is there any more tea?"
Still no one answered on the boat.
The man sitting opposite her finally opened his eyes, his voice still faint.
"When you're out and about, don't worry about certain things. Don't embarrass your host."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young man who had been sitting at the bow of the boat could no longer sit still.
"It's just a broken pot of tea? Who said I won't give it to you?! Where's the tea? Serve her some tea!"
There was a sound of footsteps coming from far away on the deck, and a pot of steaming tea was instantly placed in front of him.
