Chapter 222 Don't be afraid, nothing will happen
They continued walking along the lake, and as they walked, they saw people reading sitting or standing by the lake.
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two couldn't help but lower their footsteps for fear of disturbing the interest of the readers.
After walking for a while, they saw a cruise ship floating on the lake. The three of them relaxed and heard two or three people standing together discussing something.
Finally they didn't have to make their footsteps quieter. They had already seen the place where the cruise ships were docked. There were five or six cruise ships, but no passengers had yet boarded.
When they walked over, the three scholars in front were just about to make an appointment to rent a boat together.
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other and rejected the scholar's kindness.
The three of them rented a boat separately. When the boat reached the middle of the lake, the boatman came over and asked them, "Young masters, do you want to go around the lake?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded, and the boatman retreated to the bow. Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "After we take a look around, we'll go directly ashore and find a good restaurant to eat."
Shi Zelan looked at the expressions on their faces and said, "After we get ashore, we will find a way to inform the authorities."
Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her and said, "They are sinking too deep with the rocks tied to them. We still have to find a way to make them float up."
When the boat turned to the left, Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "This is a really good place. The lake water is very clean."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan both understood the true meaning of his words. When the cruise ship was heading back, Shi Zelan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction they would go out.
Shi Xiaoliu's fingers formed a spell, and Shi Zelan threw down a purification talisman. Xia Yu's fingers, which were about to move, naturally retracted at this time.
The three of them went ashore and left without looking back.
After a while, people who were reading by the lake accidentally glanced at the place where the cruise ship was docked, and they noticed something floating on the lake.
Soon, the police came over and cordoned off the area.
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were concentrating on copying the herb booklet in the front yard, while Xia Yu was tidying up the vegetable patch in the backyard.
There originally was a vegetable garden in the yard, but the tenants over the years obviously didn't pay much attention to it.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan arrived, they thought they wouldn't be staying there for long, so they stopped messing with the vegetable garden in the backyard.
After the Chinese New Year, Xia Yu was thinking about growing vegetables in the garden. He said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, "We usually eat less, but we can't stay out of the garden to buy vegetables, right?
Now that we have a vegetable patch like this in the backyard, when neighbors ask us about it, we have an excuse to respond.
If there are extra dishes, we can give them to our neighbors to taste. ”
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him at the time and said, "Okay, go ahead and plant it. It doesn't take much effort anyway.
I believe that the vegetables we grow are fresher and more delicious than those grown by vegetable farmers. ”
The three little ones wanted to tinker with the vegetable garden in the backyard, so the elders naturally let them do it.
The village head and two runners came in through the courtyard gate. Xia Yu happened to be coming out from the backyard carrying a vegetable.
"Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, look at how fresh the vegetables we grow are."
When he saw the head of the village and the police, Shi Zelan happened to come over and take the dish from his hand.
Xia Yu politely greeted the head of the village and the officers. Shi Zelan also went to the kitchen to fetch some water.
The village head and two officers were sitting in the yard and asked, "Did you go to the southern suburbs to cruise the lake yesterday?"
“Yes.”
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu answered their questions almost at the same time.
The village head exchanged glances with the two officers, and the officers asked, "How many of you went boating?
When did you go? ”
After Shi Xiaoliu carefully answered the officer's questions, he curiously asked, "Did anything happen after we left?"
The village chief glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and explained to the two officers: "He is young, smart, and curious."
The two officers listened to the conversation between Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, and saw Shi Zelan coming out with water. It was obvious that these three people would not cause any big trouble.
After they looked at each other, the older one sighed and said, “There’s nothing bad to say.
About an hour after you left, it was dark. When the scholars were about to go back, they saw three bodies floating in the lake one after another. ”
Shi Xiaoliu looked at the officer in shock. He saw two bodies yesterday, so how come another body appeared later?
His shock happened to reassure the two officers, who said to Shi Xiaoliu, "You, don't be so curious in the future."
After Shi Xiaoliu sent the village head and the two officers away, he called Shi Zelan and Xia Yu and asked, "How much did you feel yesterday?"
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu stretched out two fingers at the same time, and Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "Our cultivation is not enough."
Shi Zelan had a slight feeling: "Xiao Liu, there must be something else going on here.
Alas, the imperial examination was approaching, and such a thing happened in the capital. ”
"There are also scholars by the lake. I wonder if there are any students taking the imperial examinations."
The three of them kept talking to each other, with dull expressions.
The head of the village, who had turned back out of worry, thought that the three children were frightened silly.
He came in and asked Shi Xiaoliu directly: "Xiaoliu, your elders have been in the temple and Taoist temple for quite a while. When will they come back?"
After hearing what the head of the village said, Shi Xiaoliu said quickly, "Head of the village, we are going to the Taoist temple in two days.
The Taoist temple has been preparing to hold free medical consultations, and we want to go and help. ”
"Go ahead, your elders are kind-hearted, and you have avoided a disaster this time."
"Chief, has the government found out the identities of those three people?"
The head of the village heard what Shi Xiaoliu said and shook his head at him: "You, why are you so curious?
Don’t you see that your sister-in-law is so frightened that her face looks pale?
You know about herbs, so make them two bowls of calming soup at night. ”
After the head of the village left, he sighed to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "There's one more person. I guess he has a grievance and he was able to surface only after getting a chance."
Shi Zelan looked at him and Xia Yu: "Let's not discuss this anymore, okay?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded. They didn't want to discuss this kind of thing either.
But the neighbors were standing outside the courtyard gate at this time: "Xiao Liu, Xia Ge'er, Xiao Lanzi, did you go boating yesterday?"
The faces of the three of them suddenly turned bitter. Shi Xiaoliu welcomed the neighbors into the yard, but none of them came in. They insisted on standing at the gate and talking to them.
Shi Xiaoliu quickly recounted what happened on the lake cruise yesterday, and only then did someone enter the yard.
They were a little embarrassed to explain to the three of them: "We are also worried that you are young and inexperienced, and it is easy for you to get into trouble."
Shi Xiaoliu, Shi Zelan and Xia Yu were speechless. Xia Yu said directly: "We took a boat ride around the lake yesterday."
"You didn't eat anything on the lake or on the boat, so you don't have to be afraid. Nothing will happen."
