C45

After escaping from the Three Mile Temple that day, Li Xian'er didn't dare to stop to rest. After escaping for a hundred miles, she arrived at the Ding Family Col. The Ding Family Col was a water city with numerous water systems that extended in all directions.

By the time Li Xian'er arrived at the ferry crossing, the sky had already darkened. Almost all the large ships had left the docks, leaving behind only the small wicker boat that headed towards the Li family village.

After his father's death, Li Xian'er had no relatives, so the world had no idea where she should go. All she wanted was to leave Liu Ji Town as far as possible, and the people who came later rushed onto the boat. The boat's owner yelled at Li Xian'er, "Hey, little brother, if you don't get on the boat soon, the boat will leave."

Li Xian'er couldn't bear to think about this any longer and hurriedly boarded the ship. When she entered the cabin, she found that the cabin was also filled with over ten people. As she was the last one to come up, she could only sit outside.

Beside her sat a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant, and he seemed to be able to speak, talking about all sorts of strange things that had happened in the past. Everyone was listening, either laughing or feeling sad, and just like that, the boat was already halfway there. The middle-aged man was still talking nonstop, and his saliva was flying everywhere.

As he spoke, the man talked about what he had seen in Liu Ji Town.

"That day, I was resting at the tea house when five men suddenly came out of the tea house, each of them extremely ferocious. The man in the lead immediately asked the shop owner for five pots of tea."

"Five pots of tea?" Someone asked in surprise.

"That's right, and every teapot is six inches deep and eight inches wide. Those big men picked up the teapots and drank it all in one gulp. After that, they would need another ten pots."

At this point, another cry of surprise came from the boat. Someone asked, "Isn't that big guy afraid of a hot pot of tea? Could it be that all of them have a tough mouth?"

"How are they drinking tea? They are drinking water."

"No, they're drinking donkeys. They belong to donkeys."

"Hahahaha …" These words caused everyone to burst out in laughter.

The man boasted. Seeing that what he said had caused a stir in the crowd, he was very proud. He continued: "Do you know what those big men went to Liu Ji Town for?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"From the way they said it, it seems like they're here to avenge the three brothers who died in Liu Ji Town."

When Li Xian'er heard this, she couldn't help but shiver.

Someone then asked, "Do you know who they are?"

"I heard they claim to be from the Yun Sect. Oh right, that leader seems to be … "Seems like he's even a second leader. That Second Leader Yun's martial arts are quite impressive. With just a light pinch, he could crush that teapot to smithereens." The man bragged.

However, a younger man rolled his eyes and said, "Dashu, you can really blow on it. Your fingers are not even as wide as the bottom of a pot, how can you shatter it in one go?"

"Hey, I saw it with my own eyes, why would I lie to you? I also saw a man with a scar on his face who claimed to be from the Qilin Gang, he told those Cloud Gang members that he saw a man who knew how to use magic at the Three Mile Temple, and he was strong in martial arts. Killing people in the blink of an eye, it was just him who killed his boss and all his brothers."

Hearing this, there was another wave of exclamations, and everyone's eyes revealed various expressions of fear, admiration, and disgust.

"Does anyone know who he is?"

"He dared to kill someone in broad daylight. Has he reported it to the government?"

"Who cares who he is, the people from those gangs he killed are not good people."

Li Xian'er was the only one who remained silent, and her entire body was trembling violently. The man looked at her and asked curiously, "I say, little brother, why are you shaking so much? Isn't that person trying to kill you? "

"No way." One of them said with a serious face, "This little brother …" Perhaps … "That's right …" He spoke very clearly, word by word. Everyone listened attentively as Li Xian'er's heartbeat became even more intense.

"..." He was … That person is the culprit! " Everyone was shocked and sucked in a breath of cold air. However, this person actually burst out in laughter, rolling back and forth.

"You are truly a criminal. Hmph, look at his weak appearance. I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken."

"Hahahaha …"

Li Xian'er pursed her lips before asking, "Uncle, what do you do?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your surname is Lin. Yangzhou Lin's Porcelain Workshop is my business." Then, he cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, "Brothers and sisters, if you come to Yangzhou one day, you might as well come to my porcelain workshop and take care of my business, haha."

What a pure businessman, he never forgot to advertise himself wherever he went.

Li Xian`er then asked, "I heard Uncle Lin say that Scarface said he saw someone with kung fu skills. Did he say who that person was?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect your little brother to be so concerned about this. I heard that Scarface seemed to have mentioned it before, but his voice was too soft so I couldn't hear him clearly. It sounded like he was talking about the boss or the young master."

He thought to himself: "This is bad, those people must have gone after the Qian Family. Although I managed to escape, if this doesn't happen, wouldn't it implicate the Qian Family, and these people are not friendly, and they also have high martial arts skills? Would they go to the Qian Family to vent their anger on the Qian Family because they couldn't find me?" Based on the current situation, wouldn't Qian Huanhuan and the rest be in danger? Li Xian'er, ah Li Xian'er, this is all your own doing. You wanted to act smart and let others steal it, but you ended up implicating so many people. You're not trying to atone for your father's sins, but are trying to make him even more guilty. What should he do?

If she went back to save the Qian Family, she might not be able to save them, or she might even lose her life. But if she didn't go back, then they would definitely have no way out.

After some thought, she secretly made up her mind. She suddenly stood up, staggered out of the cabin, and arrived in front of the boatman, taking out all of her silver taels. She said, "This big brother boatman, I have urgent matters to attend to and would like to return to the Ding Family Col.

The sailor looked at the silver taels in her hands and smiled wryly. "If you were the only one on the boat, you could make it up to me. But there are so many people on the boat, how do you expect me to make it up to them?"

Once Li Xian'er heard the sailor's words, she was so anxious that she lost her mind for a moment. The sailor half-jokingly said, "You can go back if you want."

Li Xian'er thought that the sailor had come up with a good idea. She looked at him with a face full of hope as he slowly said, "So it's like this. Brother, if you're good at swimming, you can swim back yourself. Haha …"

With that, the sailor laughed loudly to the sky. He was still shaking the oars at a moderate pace as the boat slowly moved forward.

Li Xian`er muttered to herself in her heart, but there seemed to be no other way. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the ship was getting further and further away from the Ding Family Col. If she really followed the ship to the Li Family Village and returned, then it would be too late.

At first, he wanted to persuade this little brother to endure it a little longer. However, when he arrived at the Li Family Village, he suddenly felt the boat tilt, and he heard a "putong" sound. In the blink of an eye, the little brother was no longer on the boat.

"This is bad!" Someone fell into the water! " Hearing the worker's shout, all the passengers in the cabin left the cabin. Everyone was very anxious and shouted for help. There were even voices louder than the last, but none of them went into the water while standing at the bow of the ship.
