Chapter 844 Arrival at the Small Fishing Village
At about 7:30 in the morning, three rickshaws finally stopped at the foot of a mountain. Lu Yuanqiu got off the rickshaw first and still stood by the rickshaw to carry Bai Qingxia down.
The road surface was indeed uneven. It looked like there was a lot of mud and sand mixed in with some small shells. Bai Qingxia squatted down and picked up a few beautiful ones and looked at them in her palm. She suddenly had the urge to use these little things to make a wind chime for Lu Yuanqiu.
It was her first time near the coast, and she was curious about everything around her. She hadn't felt sleepy at all during the entire journey. Of course, the novel scenery along the road attracted her on the one hand, and Lu Yuanqiu and the driver were singing love songs to each other on the other...
This guy is disturbing people's sleep without even realizing it. What a bastard.
"Where do I go in?" Lu Yuanqiu looked at the scenery ahead.
Suddenly, someone punched him on the butt. He turned around and saw Bai Qingxia hurriedly walking past him, swinging her arms. Wasn't this Lu Yidong's trick? When did Bai Qingxia steal his skills?
Lu Yuanqiu had just taken a few steps forward, ready to retaliate, when he glanced at Xiao Li Feibiao who had gotten out of the car and thought better of it. Of course, this wasn't for the bodyguard's sake, but because this girl had come over specially last night to reward him...
Forgive others when you can.
"Here, follow me." Zhang Ru said with a smile.
The four of them followed behind her. Zhang Ru led the way while looking back and saying, "I haven't been back in years. She looks a little different from what I remembered."
Lu Yuanqiu: "How many years has it been since you last came back, Aunt Zhang?"
Zhang Ru: "I left before I got pregnant with Ranran."
Lu Yuanqiu was surprised: "Then grandpa and grandma haven't met Ranran yet?"
Zhang Ru nodded and said sadly, "Yes." She turned back and reminded him, "Be careful not to fall."
There was a downhill slope ahead. Lu Yuanqiu stretched his arms back, and without even looking, a soft little hand automatically slipped into his palm. The habit of holding hands as soon as he raised his hand seemed to be engraved in their muscle memory.
As the three people in front had just walked down, there was a loud rumbling sound from behind. Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia turned around immediately, thinking that Bai Songzhe had fallen. After looking carefully, they found that it was Xiao Li Feibiao sitting on the ground. There was a smooth skid mark running straight down on the small slope behind.
This slip mark shows that the butt is very hard.
Xiao Li Feidart remained impassive. He calmly stood up, patted his hands and trousers, and explained in a calm voice, "I accidentally stepped on a shell."
Lu Yuanqiu: “…”
The houses in the village are relatively low and dilapidated. The shadows of green fishing nets can be seen at the door of every household, as well as dried fish hanging on the racks. The air is filled with a faint fishy smell and the sound of waves. Lu Yuanqiu was looking at the houses, while Bai Qingxia was looking curiously at the gray-white shadow that could be vaguely seen in the distance.
That was the sea, with white waves spreading to the muddy shore. It was obviously different from what she had imagined. She had imagined the sea to be blue, but what she saw now was grayish white, without any beauty at all.
There were already many figures carrying baskets walking around on the rocky beach, and in the shallow sea in the distance, fishermen were working on small wooden boats.
"Let's go fishing later."
Lu Yuanqiu said to her.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's just picking up fish and crabs left on the beach after the tide goes out."
Bai Qingxia's eyes just showed interest, but suddenly her expression fell again: "Don't we have something else to do?"
Lu Yuanqiu slapped his head and just remembered: "Okay, I forgot."
Bai Qingxia: "..."
Lin Ping'an's photo is still in Lu Yuanqiu's pocket.
There aren't many people in the village, and most of the people I saw along the way were middle-aged or older.
It was really a bit awkward to see five strangers dressed in fancy clothes walking inside. Many villagers stopped to stare at them for a long time, and sometimes talked and discussed with curiosity, speaking the local dialect which Lu Yuanqiu could not understand at all.
Zhang Ru understood. She heard someone say that she looked familiar and like a girl from a certain family.
After going around a few more alleys, they finally stopped in front of a dilapidated stone house. Zhang Ru turned around and looked at the few people. Bai Songzhe smiled at her and raised his chin. Zhang Ru nodded and gently pushed open the mossy door in front of her.
There was a sharp creaking sound. The door was not locked. Zhang Ru walked in and shouted a few times in dialect. When no one answered, she walked out again.
"Maybe he's busy outside. Let's go in and sit down first."
Bai Songzhe nodded, and suddenly heard Lu Yuanqiu say, "Why don't you wait here first? Bai Qingxia and I will go for a stroll and take in the scenery. It's a good time to get some work done."
"Okay, Xiao Li, follow me." Bai Songzhe instructed Xiao Li to throw the dart.
For the first time, an embarrassed look appeared on the big guy's face: "I'll go change my pants first..."
In the village, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were running happily in front, and Xiao Li Feibiao was following quickly behind them, saying that they were going to do something, but the direction they were going was the seaside.
Lu Yuanqiu directly took out money and bought three pairs of rubber shoes and two buckets from a family. Because they couldn't communicate in the same language, he just gave them a few hundred-yuan bills. The family was confused because the things they gave were not valuable. Instead, the few hundred-yuan bills handed over by the young man made them suspect whether they were counterfeit money. Otherwise, how could he be so casual?
I looked at it in the sun several times, but for a long time I couldn't tell what was fake about the banknote.
On the rocks by the sea, Bai Qingxia put on rubber shoes and rolled up her pants, revealing a small part of her slender legs that gleamed white in the sunlight.
She staggered along the rocks, carrying a bucket of water. Lu Yuanqiu supported her while searching the puddles for fish and crabs.
When Bai Qingxia saw the fish and crabs, she would scream in surprise. She wanted to take them but was afraid to touch them, so Lu Yuanqiu gave her one of the gloves.
The cold-blooded Little Li Feidart looked at the young couple playing on the reef, silently picked up Lin Ping'an's photo and asked the passing fishermen.
"Have you seen this person?"
The fisherman looked at the photo, then looked at him: "#%..."
Xiao Li Dart blinked and responded, "Thank you."
I couldn't understand the dialect at all, and could only judge whether the other party had seen it before by looking at their expressions. However, a few fishermen understood what he meant and waved their hands to indicate that they had not seen it before.
"Lu Yuanqiu! There's an eel here!"
Bai Qingxia's voice came from afar.
"Are you sure there's an eel here? Don't bet it's a sea snake!"
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Bai Qingxia didn't even see it clearly. After hearing what Lu Yuanqiu said, she quickly ran towards Lu Yuanqiu with the bucket in her hand, feeling extremely panicked.
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her bucket, which was full of beautiful conches, without a single fish or crab. He was the only one who was seriously fishing and had caught a bunch of fish and crabs.
"Why are you picking up so many conches?"
"I wonder if there's a brook breeze singing in there?" Her eyes sparkled.
"There's only Zheng Yifeng singing in it... Are you watching Chinese Paladin III as a documentary?"
“…”
