Deep in the night knowing the snow

"Brother Xie, you can't hurt people at will... let alone kill people."

"There are so many people here, if I hadn't stopped you just now, someone might come to arrest us soon."

Mu Tangfeng felt concerned, looked at the spell in his palm and said, "Which master gave you such a hurtful spell?"

Xie Hanyu put the spell into his sleeve, "It was originally used to deal with monsters."

He looked at Mu Tangfeng's worried expression, his black eyes were thickened, and his tone was bewitching, "If they see it, I'll kill them all... Then no one will know."

A cloud of black mist overflowed from the fingertips and rushed into Mu Tangfeng's heart. Inside was a spell of enchantment.

However, before the black mist completely entered, a golden light bounced out from inside. Mu Tangfeng looked clear, and his amber eyes were bright and clear.

"Brother Xie, your thinking like this is absolutely unacceptable."

Mu Tangfeng said, "These are innocent creatures, how can they be harmed at will, life and death are decided by God, we can't interfere at will."

"In the future, don't tell others what you say." Mu Tangfeng looked worried, "If it's not to hurt you, but just to hurt others, don't bother."

"Karma cannot go beyond the Three Realms, everything has its own judgment."

"Treat people with kindness and compassion."

Seeing that Mu Tangfeng wanted to continue talking, Xie Hanyu squeezed his mouth expressionlessly, "Shut up."

"Um……"

Xie Hanyu's fingertips touched the wound on his lip, the fingertips were rough and covered with thin calluses, dense pain came from the wound, Mu Tangfeng's eyes came up with mist, and he muttered, "It hurts..."

"let go."

Xie Hanyu's eyes fell on his eyes, and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you crying?"

"Squeamish."

He let go, and watched as Mu Tangfeng took out a crumpled handkerchief from his rag bag, and wiped the wound on his lips with the handkerchief, a little bright red was reflected on it.

Mu Tangfeng glanced at him, then took two steps back, moving away from him.

The two sons who were gossiping about him before looked at him like a ghost, seeing him approaching, their faces turned pale, and they immediately retreated into the crowd.

Mu Tangfeng looked puzzled, "What happened to them?"

Xie Hanyu, "I thought you did it just now, and I'm afraid you will retaliate against them."

Mu Tangfeng said "oh", that's good, it will give them a memory, and let them know not to talk about people behind their backs.

A deep shadow was reflected in the distance on the river. Two boats came from two places. There were men and women standing on the pine boats, and the red sails of the boats raised the two big characters of Jiangyin.

The boat stopped on the shore, and the boatman on it lowered the wooden ladder, and waited for the people inside to come down, and then began to watch by the side to collect the boat tickets.

"Two taels of silver for one person, one tael for children and elders."

The raised flag was changed to Yanzhou, and the crowd was divided into two teams to board the boat.

Mu Tangfeng took out four taels of silver and handed it to the boatman when he went up, and he and Xie Hanyu boarded the boat.

There were quite a few people going to Yanzhou, and the crowd from behind came up one after another. After a while, the boat was full of people. The boatman put away the ladder, and the boatmen behind started rowing.

The wooden paddle crossed the river, splashing a drop of water, and the water rushes towards the dark passage below. The dark green water reflects the sparkling light, and the boat gradually moves away from the shore, heading for the vast river center.

The boat was swaying, and Mu Tangfeng felt a little dizzy. He watched the water spread out in a circle, and reached out and grabbed Xie Hanyu's sleeve.

Xie Hanyu glanced at him, saw that his face was pale, raised his eyebrows, "seasick?"

Mu Tangfeng nodded, tightened Xie Hanyu's sleeve, and whispered, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Just as he was talking, a white hand stretched out in front of him, with a bright yellow orange on it.

"Master, it should be better to eat an orange."

Mu Tangfeng looked over, and standing next to him was a fair and handsome young man, who looked about his age, with a smile on his lips, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled again.

He was not polite, took the orange and thanked the man.

"The young master also came from Yunzhou to Jingzhou?"

The orange peel exuded a sweet and sour smell, and Mu Tangfeng smelled much better. He glanced at the flag on the boat and said, "This is the boat to Yanzhou."

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at the flag, and then widened his eyes, "Is this going to Yanzhou?"

He looked towards the boat in the opposite direction again, and the bright black letters on it said Yunzhou.

Xie Hanyu glanced at the man, and said slowly, "Swim over now, maybe we can catch up."

Mu Tangfeng tugged on Xie Hanyu's sleeve, his face became less pale, and he said to the man, "Did you make a mistake?"

"That's right... I'm going to Yunzhou. This is good, but I'll take a long way instead." The man looked rather regretful.

"Yanzhou can also go to Jingzhou. You can hire a carriage when you go ashore."

The man nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Song Yujing. Is your son also going to Jingzhou? Maybe we can be a companion on the way."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Hanyu, seemed a little afraid of him, and hesitated, "Do you think it's okay?"

This is not up to him to decide, Mu Tangfeng turned his head and glanced at Xie Hanyu, Xie Hanyu had a stinky face, obviously unwilling.

Mu Tangfeng said embarrassingly, "We still have things to do when we go to Yanzhou, so we won't be able to go to Jingzhou for a while."

Song Yujing fell down, said "Okay", and retreated to the side to find someone else.

Mu Tangfeng turned to look at Xie Hanyu, seeing that he was about to speak, he stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth.

"I didn't promise him."

There was a sweet and sour taste from Xie Hanyu's lips, and he pulled Mu Tangfeng aside by his collar.

"Stop talking to strangers from now on."

"I know." Mu Tangfeng squeezed Xie Hanyu's hand on the back of his neck, "Don't pinch me, let go."

Xie Hanyu didn't agree, and pinched it again.

"you……"

Before he could speak, suddenly the hull of the boat began to shake violently, and the crowd followed suit. The sound of the water became louder, the boat became unstable, and the long pole on it shook and creaked.

In a panic, Mu Tangfeng hugged Xie Hanyu's arm, hugged him tightly and wobbled at Xie Hanyu, shrinking behind Xie Hanyu in fright.

Xie Hanyu dares to say that this kid will definitely run away No.1 in case of trouble, he is not as courageous as a hamster, and he is as shy as a bastard.

He counted three numbers expressionlessly, "Let go, three, two, one."

The boat was still shaking, Mu Tangfeng was afraid that Xie Hanyu would get angry, so he let go of Xie Hanyu's arm and tightened a small piece of his clothes.

"Brother Xie, I'm afraid of water."

Xie Hanyu remained motionless on the boat, with a half-smile on his face, "Is there anything else you're not afraid of?"

Mu Tangfeng pursed his lips, pulled his sleeves tightly, and lowered his head in embarrassment, the tips of his exposed ears were pale pink.

"Something will call you later, don't look back, and don't bother."

"Don't answer anyone's voice you hear."

The hull of the boat gradually stabilized, and many people were thrown to the ground by the shock. At this time, they climbed up from the ground while holding on to the railing of the boat, cursing and swearing.

Fog gradually rose from the depths of the river, the sky became darker, and there was silence all around, only the sound of boats paddling in the lake, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly in the vast fog.

"Master Mu?"

A voice came from Mu Tangfeng's ear. He looked up and saw that the figures on the boat had dispersed, the boatman and passengers had disappeared, Xie Hanyu had disappeared, and he was the only one left.

There was a chill around him, as if something icy and bone-piercing was sticking to his back.

He remembered Xie Hanyu's words, closed his eyes and did not respond, pretending not to hear.

"Tang Feng?" There was a familiar soft voice in his ear, like Nanny Song's usual tone.

"Mr. Mu?" Seeing that he didn't respond, the thing replaced it with Xie Hanyu's voice.

Mu Tangfeng remained motionless in place, his back drenched in cold sweat. After waiting for a while, he gradually heard human voices, and the scene in front of him changed. Xie Hanyu was looking at him with frowning eyebrows.

"Had been haunted?"

"Well...but I ignored him."

A few women's screams suddenly came from the crowd not far away. Mu Tangfeng looked over and saw a black "human" thing lying beside the boat, with a skeleton face and fish scales all over its body. , with dense fish fins on his face, and sharp and sharp teeth, he was biting the edge of the boat while pulling the people on board with his slippery, filmy hands, trying to pull them into the water.

The person who was caught looked familiar, and it was Song Yujing who came to talk to him just now.

The monster beside the boat had deep-eyed eyes, pulling Song Yujing to pull him down little by little.The boatman next to him wanted to hit the monster with his oar, but someone stopped him, "This is a messenger sent by the river god, don't hit it! Otherwise, all of us on the boat will suffer."

"He committed a taboo himself, which made the river god angry. Only by letting the messenger take him to sacrifice can the river god's anger be appeased."

"That's right... I said it before I boarded the boat. When I heard someone calling me that I couldn't agree, he didn't pay attention to it. Who's to blame."

Seeing Song Yujing being pulled down little by little, his face turned pale, he looked at Mu Tangfeng through the crowd, and said, "Help...help me..."

Just before most of his body was about to be dragged out, Mu Tangfeng stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

Mu Tangfeng dragged the man back, but the strength of the water monster underneath was unmatched by ordinary people. Not only did he fail to pull the man back, but he himself was brought over to the side of the boat.

"Hey, this kid is really nosy!"

"I'm going to get myself involved in a while."

Song Yujing hugged Mu Tangfeng's arm and cried loudly, "Brother, I'm so touched. If you rescue me today, I, Song Yujing, will be willing to work for you in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, the water monster suddenly let go of Song Yujing. Mu Tangfeng felt a biting coldness from his wrist, and an extremely strong pulling force pulled him into the lake. His eyes met the sparkling water surface. Half of his body leaned overboard.

The moment before he was about to have a close contact with the river water, the tip of his nose had already touched the icy river water, someone grabbed his wrist and gently pulled him back.

At the same time, the water monster suddenly let go of its hand, as if it had encountered something particularly terrifying, and sank into the bottom of the water in a hurry.

Mu Tangfeng was dragged back to the boat by Xie Hanyu, Xie Hanyu's eyes were dark, and he laughed angrily, "Are you not afraid of water now?"
