Chapter 348 The deadline for blood relatives is approaching
After hearing what I said, Su Wen's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah." Su Wen was instantly excited, as if she had forgotten about falling into the water just now: "Finally, we can eat the big carp from Lijiang, miss, don't fish, we have fish to eat."
Seeing Su Wen's excitement, the woman frowned subconsciously, and then said: "Su Wen, we just met by chance, it's not good to be so troublesome."
This sentence directly extinguished Su Wen's excitement, and she immediately pouted and muttered: "What's the big deal, after eating the fish, we are all friends, miss, don't you always say that when you go out, one more friend means one more way."
"Alas." The woman shook her head helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything with you."
After that, she looked at me again, with a somewhat apologetic look in her eyes, and said, "Su Wen followed me, and I got used to it. I made you laugh."
"It's okay, let's eat together. My fish is very big, and I can't finish it by myself anyway." I smiled.
"Thank you." The woman nodded.
An hour later, the fragrant fish soup and the braised carp tail were ready. The three of us all boarded the small boat I took before. The three of us sat together, drinking fish soup while admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.
"Hey guys, I have some homemade liquor here, it's a little strong, if you don't mind, you can try it." The boatman suddenly spoke, smiling shyly.
Su Wen's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, how much is it? I'll pay you."
"Uh, no thanks, this is my own brew, I usually drink it myself, it's not worth the money." The boatman smiled, then went back to the cabin and took out a pot of wine and three small cups.
"Uncle, let's eat together." Su Wen took the wine pot and greeted the boatman with a smile. The boatman smiled shyly and said, "I see that you are dressed in a very elegant manner, so you are not ordinary people. I... forget it,
so as not to spoil your fun." "Uncle, you are being too polite." Su Wen blinked, "As the saying goes, meeting is fate. Since fate has brought us together, why don't we drink together and leave each other with a good memory."
Although Su Wen and I had a misunderstanding before, I have to say that this girl is definitely not a bad girl, and she is still a lively little girl.
"Ah..." The boatman hesitated.
At this time, the woman who had been sipping the fish soup also spoke up and said with a smile: "Let's go together, uncle. We are all children of the underworld. There is no need to be so particular."
Her words shocked my heart, and I almost subconsciously turned my head to look at her.
But after she finished speaking, there was no change on her face, as if what she said was just a very ordinary sentence.
But after hearing her words, my heart couldn't help but jump up.
Before, Pao Zhen told me that the moment I walked out of Xu Village, I had actually entered this underworld.
And once you enter the underworld, some things will be beyond your control.
I have thought more than once, what exactly is the underworld, and what kind of people are there in the underworld.
Unexpectedly, I would hear this word from the mouth of a young, beautiful, and extremely temperamental woman.
"Hearing her calm tone, it seems that this is not the first time she has mentioned the word Jianghu. Is it true that, as Xiaoqi guessed, she is really a cultivator?" I frowned secretly.
I took a deep breath and said to the boatman, "Uncle, let's go together. Anyway, we are going downstream. It's good to just float along like this."
"That's fine. You wait. I have some snacks from Yunnan." The boatman was also a straightforward man. After saying that, he entered the cabin and took out some brown paper.
However, when the brown paper was opened, the three of us were dumbfounded when we saw what was wrapped inside.
"Is this... a bug?" Su Wen widened his eyes and looked terrified. The woman and I were relatively calm.
"Well, you may not dare to eat it? Here, everyone eats this thing, it is very delicious, and there is even a hundred insects banquet in Yunnan." The boatman said, while picking up a fried big insect and throwing it into his mouth, chewing it, it was very crispy.
"Well..." Su Wen's face turned green and white, if he hadn't been holding it back, I think he would have vomited it.
"Come on, try my homemade liquor." The boatman opened the wine jar, poured a glass for a few of us, and then drank it himself in one gulp.
Seeing this, I didn't hesitate to pick up the wine glass and drank it.
Compared with the wine in the Northeast, this wine is softer and refreshing, but the alcohol content should not be low.
Compared to the boldness of me and the boatman, Su Wen and the woman were much more reserved, holding their wine glasses and sipping them.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet." I smiled and said.
The woman looked at me and was about to speak, but Su Wen said first: "My lady's name is..."
She suddenly stopped talking here, but the woman glared at Su Wen. Su Wen stuck out his tongue and then stopped talking.
"My last name is Huang, the Huang of phoenix, and my given name is Jiu." The woman looked at me and said.
"Huang Jiu..." I chewed on the name carefully, then smiled and said, "It's a nice name. My name is Zhang... Baiyu, Bai for hundred-dollar bills, and Yu for rain." The
reason why I didn't say my real name is because I could feel that this woman didn't say her real name, otherwise she wouldn't have interrupted Su Wen.
Another point is what Pao Zhen told me before leaving.
I am the descendant of the Yinren lineage. Now, almost everyone in the world knows that I carry the Luoshu, and this woman is obviously also a person in the world. If she knew that I was Zhang Qianyu, she would most likely make trouble.
Even if she didn't have that intention, I might be on guard because of it, and that would be too boring.
"Zhang Baiyu, what's the matter? When your mother gave birth to you, it rained for a hundred days in a row?" Su Wen teased.
I smiled and said nothing, but Huang Jiu frowned: "Su Su, how can you talk like that?"
"I'm not joking." Su Wen smiled and blinked, then asked me: "You don't mind, right?"
"Hehe." I smiled, then raised my glass again and said, "This is my first time traveling far away by myself. Uh, actually, this is my first time traveling. The world is so big, and it is fate that we can meet here. Come on, toast to fate."
"Cheers to fate." Su Wen also raised his glass. Huang Jiu smiled and whispered, "Cheers to fate."
"Uh, that, come on, toast to fate." The boatman also raised his glass.
Everyone drank it all, and then, they all admired the beautiful scenery along the way in silence.
However, I would look at Huang Jiu from time to time.
Although she often smiled, I could see that she was definitely worried.
Moreover, not only would her brows be subconsciously locked, but a dark aura would often appear on her forehead. Most importantly, her face would often show the appearance of another person.
That was the appearance of an old man, which often appeared on her face.
Once this happened, it meant that a blood relative in her family must be dying.
The reason why I could see all this was because of the results of my research on the Corpse Clothing Sutra some time ago.
The Corpse Clothing Sutra not only contains Feng Shui formations, but also face reading, bone weighing, and hexagram reading. I just used the face reading technique to see the dark aura on Huang Jiu's face and her frequently changing face.
"She should know that someone in her family is going to get into trouble, otherwise she wouldn't look so worried. But... it's not inexplicable."
Although a layer of black air would linger on her forehead from time to time, her nose bridge was high and straight, and the tip of her nose had not changed. There was also a small red bump on the tip of her nose.
And her face was rosy and glowing, which meant that she would meet a noble person here, and this noble person was the one who saved her blood relative's life.
However, I was confused because I didn't know whether I should tell her about this.
"We just met by chance. Should I tell her about this? If I tell her, will it be considered as leaking the secret? Will it change the development of the matter?"
