Alternative Jianghu Adventures
Chapter 57 Height
From the south to the south of Lixin, the Linyun Mountains block the Central Plains in the north, the bitter cold plateau is uninhabited in the west, the east and south are surrounded by sea water, there are groups of reefs, and there are endless rare and exotic animals, but the mountains are high and the water is deep. All the land in the country was cut into scattered pieces, except for the merchants who traveled by sea who would be stationed here all the year round, there were only desperate people fleeing from the Central Plains.
Qiao Anyue and Xia Yun have only figured out the boundary of the land since Linyun Mountain Range came out, but they have never seen even half a spacious river.
Now, under the guidance of Lan Sang, I turned several corners, and the houses around me changed from bricks, tiles and thatch standing on the ground to the appearance of stilted buildings similar to those in the Jiangnan area with the sound of water. .
The blue water flows across the entire Lixi, coming from the north and merging into the sea.
On the other hand, the residents of Lixi face each other around the wide water surface. Thick and long green bamboos prop up the houses on the water surface, and there are small boats that can accommodate two or three people between them. Crab, and the person at the other end is moving warmly on the water surface with a long and thin penny.
On the shore, beside the green bamboos of every household, people used wooden piles and stones to make a narrow road for two people to go back and forth!The porters squatted on the shore and waited for the caravans coming and going to pay a lot of money to buy the seafood of the fishermen, hoping that they could hire themselves to move the goods by the way to earn two copper coins.
Therefore, as soon as Xia Yun and his group showed their faces, they were surrounded by people wearing straw hats, and the voices of bargaining were mixed with the haggling of selling seafood one after another:
"Where are you girls going?"
"Fresh big crabs, fresh meat and juicy, do you want to buy some and go back to try?"
"My family's boat is the biggest in this area. Where are you going, girl, you can definitely take mine! If the journey is long, I can catch fish for you all the way and solve it on the spot. When it comes to grilled fish, I call it the second place. No one dares to be number one!"
"..."
Qiao Anyue glanced at the self-proclaimed fisherman, who was standing on a fishing boat with a very poor-looking grilled fish.Xia Yunlan and Sang, who were used to Qiao Anyue's cooking by the deep pool, even turned their heads and turned to the next one.
"Go to Jushuiguan." Lan Sang picked a small boat familiarly, and the boatman was just enough to support the weight of four people. She waved to Xia Yunqiao Anyue, but she said to the boatman, "Ten for each Five cents, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, no bargaining.”
"Hey, how do you sell this melon?" Lan Sang casually asked the melon grower on the side of the bank, "Bring me a small one, and take it on the boat to cool off."
"Okay!" The boatman cheerfully sent the long pole into the water, and the emerald green water immediately swallowed more than half of the pole.
Although Jushuiguan is a bit far from here, it only takes one day to walk by water.These few guests were not allowed to eat and drink. According to the market, ten cents is the average price. The boatman did not expect these guests to spend so much money. It seems that today is really a good day!
The water surface several feet wide was waved back several times by the bamboo poles, and the reeds growing along the shore grew more joyously as they entered the water deeper.Not long after, the wooden boat had sailed a few kilometers away, and the houses on both sides of the strait disappeared behind, gradually out of Qiao Anyue's sight, and what appeared in front of him was a large fan-shaped wide water area in all directions. surrounded.
"Guests, sit tight."
Walking to the Kukuo, the boatman also changed from the previous slowness, and the frequency of penny propping was obviously accelerated, occasionally passing by various unnamed plants that broke out of the water.
Even Er Gouzi got out of Lansang's arms, lying on the edge of the boat, stretching out his paws from time to time to grab the small fish floating on the water.
... It's just that Er Gouzi didn't make any achievements in the fishing industry.
If it wasn't for the three of them having a clear destination, Xia Yun would even feel that riding a boat on the water and letting the breeze blow at will would be an extremely pleasant thing.
It was noon after a while.
The hot sun pierced directly into the water from the top of the head, so bright that people couldn't keep their eyes open.
Er Gouzi changed his excitement when he got on the boat before, and sat slumped in the boat like Xia Yun, listening to the barking of water bugs next to his ears, and occasionally stretched out his paws to pat the small flying insects wandering around in front of him.
"...I should have taken the road if I knew the sun was so big!" Xia Yun stretched out his left hand to his forehead, trying to see where the shade was, "There are trees blocking the road... who would know that the sun shines on the water? It's so hot! And there's not even a place to cover it!"
"You have to travel by land for several days, you can choose to disembark now." Lan Sang also felt quite bored, bickering with Xia Yun one after another.
"Cut! Talking while standing doesn't hurt your back!" Xia Yun rolled his eyes, then turned to look at Qiao Anyue who was sitting quietly beside him, "I said! Aren't you hot?"
"It's hot." Qiao Anyue replied as a matter of course.
However, the fact that there was no sweat on his forehead made Xia Yun unable to believe Qiao Anyue's answer at all.
"However, it's natural to be calm." Qiao Anyue added, "Instead of complaining with strength, it's better to shut up and save energy. It will be much more comfortable."
Xia Yun put it on Qiao Anyue's hand in disbelief, and the slightly icy touch from it shook her spirits, "It's so cool!"
She hurriedly approached someone, grabbed Qiao Anyue's other hand, pulled the back of her hand against her face and sighed contentedly: "It's so comfortable!"
In fact, Qiao Anyue was also slightly hot from the sun, but it was much better than Xia Yun who had become a furnace.
The fiery temperature came from Xia Yun's body. Qiao Anyue was silent for a moment and finally shook off Xia Yun's hand unbearably. Before she could say the words "stay away from the heat", Xia Yun was thrown away by her. Caught off guard, one of them knocked his chin on Qiao Anyue's legs before sitting still, and howled out mournfully.
"Can I say hello before we leave!"
Qiao Anyue, who felt that her legs suddenly became hotter, responded with disgust, "You came over and didn't say hello. Move away quickly."
Xia Yun made a long "cut", and he didn't know whether it was because of Qiao Anyue's response or because of the innocent disaster he suffered on his chin, he raised his head slowly.
Just looking up for a moment, her eyes naturally moved over Qiao Anyue's chest, and then Xia Yun raised her head - after all, she was still indisputably half a head shorter than Qiao Anyue even when she was sitting down - realizing this She stared at Qiao Anyue even more depressed.
"Ask quickly if you have anything to say."
Qiao Anyue sighed, wanting to get rid of this person who made the surrounding air suddenly scorching hot as soon as possible.
"Yue'er, tell me the truth!" Xia Yun said with a serious face, "In the past few years... what did you eat to grow up?"
Sitting across from him, Lan Sang, who was watching a show with Er Gouzi in his arms, frowned—what direction is this going?
Even Qiao Anyue, who had "heart-to-heart" with Xia Yun before, was confused, blinking her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
Xia Yun quickly reached out and gestured in the air with difficulty.
"Look, when I was young, I remember that I was taller than you," Xia Yun compared the height of Qiao Anyue's arm with his hand, "At that time, you were obviously shorter than me by about a head...but why now? You can actually grow taller than me?!"
"The child's bones haven't grown well yet." Qiao Anyue, who had read all the medical books, replied as a matter of course.
"No, my master said, I have excellent bones, and there is no one who can match me!"
"...The roots of martial arts and the roots of growth are two things, they just have the same name."
"No!" Xia Yun struggled to death, "You must have eaten something delicious! Otherwise, you, you, your...then nothing would be possible..."
For the first time, Qiao Anyue was not very willing to have a keen observation ability that was different from ordinary people.
Even though Xia Yun's eyes were fixed on her, Qiao Anyue still noticed Xia Yun's hands hanging beside her struggling and gesticulating, and those eyes slipped down intentionally or unintentionally.
Well, Qiao Anyue also noticed that Xia Yun's... chest didn't fluctuate much.
"No." She pushed Xia Yun away with a cold face, "You think too much, this is your own problem. It doesn't matter what you eat."
Xia Yun stared at Qiao Anyue with displeasure, and moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but she couldn't say it in the end.
Qiao Anyue, who was blinded by Xia Yun, suddenly flashed a scene in front of her eyes—since her memory became stable, such flashing and automatically popping up images rarely appeared in front of her eyes.
She couldn't help but put her hand on Xia Yun's head - the same gesture as she remembered when the other party reached out to touch her head when she was a child, but the two sides were different.
In my memory, when I was a child, I went out to buy osmanthus cakes because I went over the wall one time, but I heard the bad news that all the osmanthus cakes in the city had been sold out.
Qiao Anyue really didn't want to admit that the little girl who almost cried because of this kind of thing was the same person as her.
But it was precisely because of this incident that Xiao Xiayun wanted to comfort the crybaby in front of him with a broken face, and finally subconsciously made this gesture of relief.
comfort?
Qiao Anyue looked at Xia Yun in front of her, and couldn't quite understand what kind of effect comfort can have on a person's mood, so she touched Xia Yun's head and said the truth:
"Your bones are closed, and your height is your limit now."
She thought she had spoken euphemistically enough—let alone tell Xia Yun the cruel fact that "you will never grow taller again".
However, what he got was that Xia Yun suddenly swung her arm away and looked even more hostile.
Lan Sang, who was watching the whole process, was laughing backwards and forwards on the opposite side. When he noticed Xia Yun's killing gaze, he quickly covered his stomach and choked out a sentence from his laughter, "Sorry, I really don't want to laugh at you..."
Just can't help it.
Xia Yun turned his head away stiffly, and kept telling himself in his heart that the person in front of him was still useful, so he couldn't kill him.
At this moment, the boatman plunged the penny into the water hard, and the bow of the boat lightly touched the bamboo raft at the ferry. The boat shook slightly, swayed from side to side several times, and stopped.
"Guests, the ship has arrived."
However, before Lan Sang could pay, he heard a surprised voice from a boy not far away, "Sister! That's her! A few days ago, I twisted my ear!"
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yun felt a sharp wind coming towards him!
