Riding the Pheonix Chapter 614: Night Breeze

After this incident, Wen Xiuyi stopped talking and ate quietly.

She ordered a table full of dishes, which two people couldn't finish.

When her stomach couldn't hold more, she looked at Ji Xiaowu and said, "Hey, I'll give you the rest!"

Ji Xiaowu rolled his eyes and ignored him completely.

Wen Xiuyi was angry: "What do you look like?"

Shi Qing stopped him in time: "Go back after eating, don't cause any more trouble."

Wen Xiuyi snorted and let him go.

Shi Qing paid the bill, and the four of them got up and left the restaurant.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Mingwei tripped, staggered, and almost fell on Wen Xiuyi.

Wen Xiuyi was annoyed: "How do you walk?"

Ming Wei smiled apologetically: "My feet are a little numb."

Then he touched his sleeves and showed a hesitant expression: "Hey, where is my jade?"

Ji Xiaowu saw it at a glance: "There!"

He took a few hurried steps and picked up the jade ring that had fallen out.

Mingwei took it, carefully dusted off the dust, and put it in his arms: "Let's go."

Wen Xiuyi frowned and turned around to leave.

When the four of them walked away, the people at the next table gathered together to talk.

"Have you seen that piece of jade? The water is so good, it must be worth a few hundred taels, right?"

"It's more than that! Look at it, it doesn't have any color at all. You may not be able to buy such jade with money."

"I didn't expect that a girl dressed in ordinary clothes would be carrying such valuable things."

"Look at their behavior. They order such a large table of dishes without batting an eye. Just now they said that such a small restaurant can't eat good food. Isn't this restaurant bad? No matter how good it is, go to those big cities. ."

"It seems that they dressed plainly on purpose to hide themselves from others."

"That's right. I saw that arrogant girl, looking like a young lady. The man was carrying a knife and looked like a guard. The other two didn't dare to talk to the girl at all, maybe they were little girls. A servant girl or something."

As they spoke, they couldn't help but smack their lips and concluded: "It's a fat sheep!"

"Do you want to vote?"

"Well... aren't we going to a tall and wealthy family in the neighboring county?"

"I don't think tall and wealthy people are richer than them. Besides, those two girls..."

"Hehehehehe!" Several people smiled tacitly.

After laughing, one of them asked: "Did it?"

The remaining ones responded in unison: "Done!"

……

Ji Xiaowu rubbed his stomach and said sadly: "I'm so hungry!"

As a young man, it’s the time when you have a big appetite. A steamed bun for two mouthfuls is not enough to fill your stomach.

Mingwei combed her hair and said, "Then Wen Xiuyi asked you to eat just now, and you rolled your eyes at her."

Ji Xiaowu said: "You want me to eat a table full of leftovers? Think of me as a beggar!"

Ming Wei chuckled: "Integrity is more important than food. It shows that my cousin is not hungry to the extreme yet. Just bear with it! You will be fine after tonight."

Ji Xiaowu seemed to have something to say when he heard this, and saw that she had already **** her hair, took out her old clothes, tore off two pieces of cloth, and tied the sleeves tightly.

"What are you doing? Is there a situation?"

Mingwei asked him: "Cousin, can you tell what happened to the people I met in the restaurant today?"

Ji Xiaowu shook his head: "Aren't they just a few Jianghu people? With some skills, they can collect some protection fees and extort some money."

Ming Wei said: "The atmosphere of Southern Chu is different from that of Northern Qi. There are many mountains and forests here, and dense waterways, so there are many forces, and heroes in the green forest emerge in an endless stream. There are many monks and little rice, so it is inevitable that some people will not be able to eat, and most of the people in the world are robbing families and houses. ”

Ji Xiaowu thought thoughtfully: "Did you throw that piece of jade just now on purpose?"

Ming smiled and said: "Look at these people, they are considered to be first-class experts. They must have seen a lot of the world. If they were small thieves, they might not be able to recognize my jade, but they will definitely recognize it."

Ji Xiaowu looked around like a thief and lowered his voice: "You want to lure them to hijack the ship? It's useless, right? Wen Xiuyi and Shi Qing are much more powerful than them, why don't they take them down in a face-to-face encounter? ”

Mingwei said: "Robbing homes and homes is not a head-to-head competition. If they take action, they will definitely cause trouble first. When the time comes..."

"Shall we take the opportunity to run away?"

Mingwei nodded.

“But,” Ji Xiaowu said worriedly, “we have been bewitched!”

Mingwei shook his sleeves: "Xiao Bai is about to wake up."

Previously, the little white snake was tricked by Wen Xiuyi and ate a bunch of poisoned Gu worms, so that she fell asleep until now.

As long as it wakes up, Shi Qing's poison won't be a problem.

Ji Xiaowu was very excited: "So, we can really run away?"

Mingwei continued to nod.

Ji Xiaowu thought for a while but felt uneasy: "Are you sure those people will come?"

"Not sure. Maybe they have more important things to do, so they just passed by and left."

"Isn't that a waste of time?"

Mingwei smiled slightly.

"Why are you laughing?" Ji Xiaowu was angry, "I don't always say something well. Isn't it fun to tease others?"

Mingwei said: "If you don't come, there's nothing we can do! It's just a chance encounter, just throw a seed in. If it doesn't sprout, don't worry about it."

Ji Xiaowu was discouraged: "Then you still told me, isn't this giving me hope?"

Mingwei asked: "Cousin can't even handle this? Then I won't say anything from now on, so as not to disappoint you."

"No, no, no," Ji Xiaowu said hurriedly, "I just said it casually, how could I not stand it? It's just possible, I understand!"

Mingwei's gaze squinted: "Do you really understand?"

"Really.~IndoMTL.com~Ming smiled: "That's good. My cousin gets ready, and then we go to bed quickly. They won't start early, we have to have the strength to run. ”

"Okay!"

Ji Xiaowu packed up and went to bed.

However, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.

On Mingwei's side, the sound of long and steady breathing soon came.

Ji Xiaowu ordered himself to sleep quickly.

The two were in trouble together. In the past two months, Mingwei had basically taken care of him. Ji Xiaowu felt that as a cousin, even if he couldn't take care of her, he couldn't hold her back, right?

Sleep, sleep quickly.

Ji Xiaowu closed his eyes and counted, and finally passed out.

The pier gradually became quiet.

When the fire spread, the ships docked nearby were alarmed.

"It's gone, it's gone!"

Wen Xiuyi turned over and sat up, quickly put on her coat and shoes.

She opened the cabin door and asked the boatman who ran past: "What happened?"

The boatman replied: "It seems that the boat next to us overturned the oil lamp and caught fire."

"Will it burn us?"

The boatman estimated the distance between the two boats and said, "It's a bit dangerous."

"Hurry up and push the boat out." Shi Qing came out and ordered.

"Yes."

The boatman shouted for people to come and move his boat further away.

But this time he supported the pole, he found that the cable was loose.

"Hey! What's going on?!"

The night wind was quite strong tonight. In order to hide it from others, their boat was not big. Once it was pushed out, it drifted far away.
