Yu Xing was in a trance for a moment in the fog, and the next second he stepped onto the ground.
The unclear shadows in the fog smeared like paint, and then the fog dissipated.
Waves of noisy voices suddenly appeared in his ears, along with the frantic sound of wind blowing against the windows and the rumble of thunder.
As soon as Yu Xing stood firm, he put his hand on the handle of the whip and looked up.
What appeared in front of him was an inn hall full of people coming and going. Every table was full of people, most of them wearing shabby and simple narrow-sleeved shorts.
At a glance, anyone can tell from their clothes and the damp smell emanating from their bodies that they must be a group of people who work on the water all year round.
They should be a group of boatmen.
At this moment, the boatmen occupied the entire hall, leaving only a few seats for the wealthier-looking pedestrians.
There were only some bottles of water or wine bottles on their tables. The waiters did not walk among them and shouted loudly. They only leaned against the counter and looked at the window with a sigh.
There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and from time to time, a bolt of lightning flashed across, splitting the dark sky into two, and heavy rain poured down, making the whole house clang, and the entire hall was filled with uneasiness.
A person sitting by the window pushed the window frame slightly, then looked out through the crack, and then murmured with a pale face: "It's still rising...many places are flooded."
Hearing this, the rugged man sitting at the same table with him slapped the table and stood up, making a gesture of walking out, but was hurriedly pulled back by the person next to him.
"What are you going to do! Lao Zhang, it's raining so heavily outside, why not wait until the rain stops before going out!"
Lao Zhang said painfully: "When will it rain? Damn it, I haven't moved all my goods yet. If they get flooded, what will I do in the future? Those are the goods I bought with all my savings!"
Similar expressions can be seen on the faces of all the boatmen, even those dressed as businessmen.
"What's going on?" Quinn asked, "No, I should say, where are we?"
He glanced around the inn with slight interest: "You can actually reach a place like this directly through that door..."
Behind them are the stairs of the inn. If you look at them this way, others will think that they are tenants who have just come down from the second floor.
Someone had noticed them, but only gave them a look.
Here, the mud they had covered themselves with on the Yejiang River didn't look out of place at all, because it was also on the boatmen.
Yu Xing walked to the nearest window, faced the blowing wind and rain, looked at the outside world, and then lowered his voice and said: "There is a pier outside. It seems that the Yejiang River has risen and flooded the pier. Those who eat on the pier are not allowed to eat."
Don’t go into the inn to take shelter.”
After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes: "If all the missing people have crossed the courtyard gate and come here...wait, I think I saw someone on the river!"
With Dartou's eyesight, it is difficult to see clearly in the dark.
He could only vaguely see something like a ship rising and falling on the turbulent black water.
Zhao Yijiu stepped forward, pushed him down a little, and then looked over his head.
A few seconds later, his tone was subtle: "Someone is right, and it's the sedan girls and the others... They actually got a small boat and planned to cross the river in this weather?"
The good news is that although the world behind the door was unexpected, they still locked the location of the sedan girl immediately.
Bad news, the sedan girl is on the river, and the river is trying to swallow her. She may lead everyone to death at any time.
"Hey, brother, why did I see someone staying on the river? Am I dazzled?" Sheniu Quinn had already started chatting with a boatman.
The boatman looked at his obviously foreign face, a little wary and a little flattering: "What you are talking about... must be a few outsiders."
"When the water first rose, a girl was unlucky and was almost swallowed by the river. Fortunately, her companions rescued her with the help of nine cows and two tigers. She was extremely beautiful, and she was also wearing a wedding dress.
She must have escaped from marriage, right? Alas, in today’s world, you can’t even keep a beautiful girl, she has to be forced by some powerful people..."
The boatman let out a long sigh.
"Anyway, we see how pitiful she is. She's soaked all over. If we don't care, she will definitely catch the cold, so we're going to take her to the inn to warm her up."
"As a result, not long after she and her companions arrived, they looked outside and suddenly said 'there's a body'... and the whole group rushed out without us even stopping them."
"At that time, the flood was already strong. The dock was full of water. We didn't even have time to move our goods. Now they were all washed away. I felt so sad!"
"Even in such a dangerous time, we all know that life is more important than money. I really don't know what the little girl and those around her are thinking! Where there are corpses, there are corpses. It must be some unlucky guy who drowned. We
Every now and then I find a floating corpse, I'm used to it, I don't know what they were doing there."
"I see." Quinn muttered. The conversation between him and the boatman was not suppressed. Yu Xing and the other boatmen heard it as well as the surrounding boatmen.
One after another, boatmen joined the conversation, either complaining about their losses, or saying that the girl in the wedding dress and the group were a little strange, and they didn't know where they came from.
Although it was a mess, Yu Xing was able to piece together the whole story.
When the Siren, Zhao Mou and others were avoiding the corpse of the fake corpse, they entered the inn space through the back door - and then went to the port, probably hoping to explore this hidden map.
I don't know what happened after that, but the identity of the Siren's sedan girl triggered the mission of "The Return of the sedan girl". The water in Yejiang began to rise and people were eaten, and heavy rain fell from the sky. They were attacked by Yejiang at the port, but fortunately nothing happened.
Then they entered the inn to rest. At this moment, the old man came with Yizhuang's corpse, probably for the purpose of feeding Yejiang.
In order to prevent the corpse from entering the river, the Kraken and the others chased and approached Yejiang again, and then...
Not a single body was missing, but they were also trapped on the river.
In any case, this group of people has not had any major accidents for the time being, which is already a very remarkable achievement, probably with the help of some props with special functions.
Wanting to understand what had happened, Yu Xing pushed open the door of the inn amidst the frightened eyes and raised voices of the boatmen and ran out despite the heavy rain.
Zhao Yijiu, Quinn and Nie Lang followed closely.
It's obvious that their respective teammates need their help!
The Yejiang River that can be seen from this space is not the same river section as the one they almost drowned in before. The terrain here is more dangerous.
Moreover, if the body was brought in by the old man, then the old man who is also on the river will be the most unstable factor!
If the Kraken and the others were forced to stagnate on the river because the corpse could not be controlled, then Zhao Yijiu still had some cotton threads on his body, which could be an urgent solution!
