As the sound of horse hooves gradually became fainter, the carriage slowly stopped by the lake.
Gai Nie, Xiaoling, Tianming, and Shaoyu got off the carriage together and walked to the shore of Jinghu Lake.
At this time, we were close enough to the lake, and we could barely find a few faint reflected lights from the lake surface.
Tian Ming looked towards the center of the lake, trying to find the island in the middle of the lake that Shao Yu mentioned, but unfortunately he could only see a patch of darkness - it would make sense to say that darkness was the island.
But the problem now is obviously not this.
"Shaoyu, let's come here in the middle of the night and there's no one around. How can we get there?"
"Uh... there are ferries and boats on this shore, which are used for people seeking medical treatment to land on the island, but... where are they?" Shao Yu scratched his head, trying to break through the darkness in front of him, looking for the boats.
.
"Today's night is a little too gloomy, and the field of vision is limited. Let's just spread out and look carefully."
"Okay..." Tianming frowned and started to look for a boat along the shore.
At this time, Xiaoling reminded with a smile, "Stop looking, someone is coming."
"Ah?" Tianming was startled, and turned to look at the center of the lake again, and indeed caught a faint spot of light.
Shao Yu came close to Tian Ming, put his palms on his forehead, and looked around carefully, "It seems to be the light of fire... Is there a ship coming?"
Xiaoling reminded calmly, "We'll find out later."
Gai Nie remained calm and silent throughout the whole process, just watching silently as the faint spot of light gradually approached.
It is said that the distance to the water is not far away, so the wait is endless.
After the four people waited for a long time, the original appearance of this light spot was finally revealed to everyone.
It's nothing special, just a string of lanterns.
But the person holding the lantern is particularly eye-catching.
A little girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, holding a string of bright lanterns in her hands, drove a small boat and slowly approached the shore.
Under the bright yellow lights, the girl's plain and simple orange skirt is particularly bright. She has two symmetrical buns on her head. The long braids are blowing slightly with the night wind, and the most touching thing is
Yes, it was the gentle and healing smile on her face.
No matter who sees such a smile, he should feel happy and relaxed, right?
Oh, by the way, there was more than just a girl standing on the boat, there was also a little fat man, who looked stupid and silly, much taller than the girl, holding a whirring windmill, with a tall belly and a high belly.
He seems to be carrying something.
In theory, this kind of silly fat guy is more eye-catching, but at this time everyone's attention is mainly on the girl, especially the child Tianming.
Tianming looked at that smiling little face, his mouth opened slightly, and he fell into a sluggish state unconsciously.
"Hey, you've come to your senses!" Shao Yu caught a glimpse of Tian Ming's embarrassing expression from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but reach out and give him a shudder.
"Ah! Why are you hitting me!" Tianming was suddenly pulled back to reality, and he was still a little confused. When he came back to his senses, he rarely cared about being beaten by Shaoyu, and asked with a silly smile, "Hey! This girl
Who is it? Do you know?"
"Why, have you fallen in love with her?" Shao Yu crossed his arms and teased with a playful expression.
Tian Ming impatiently bumped Shao Yu with his shoulder and urged, "Hey, don't worry about anything else, just tell me whether you know or not!"
"Hey! You've asked the right person!" Shao Yu grinned and replied confidently.
However, before Tian Ming showed his joy, Shao Yu's face fell instantly, and he read coldly, "It's a pity that I don't know her."
"Don't recognize me!?" Tianming asked with a look of disbelief, "You have been here so many times, how come you don't recognize me?"
"I told you, I haven't been here a few times!" Shaoyu first emphasized the fact he mentioned before, and then defended, "Besides, it's been a long time since I last came here."
"In short, I have never seen this girl before. Hmm...maybe she is Miss Rong's new apprentice?"
"But who is the little fat guy next to him? He's also an apprentice, doesn't he?" Shao Yu speculated on the girl's identity, but couldn't draw a conclusion because of another person standing next to the girl.
Boring!
There was a dull collision, and the ship finally docked. The lantern in the girl's hand also pointed out the location of Jinghu Ferry to Shaoyu and others.
It's not far away, but it can't be seen at night. As for how the girl found the exact location to park the boat... I can only say that she is familiar with it.
Tianming was the first to rush out and hurriedly approached the girl, but when he got close to the girl, he was speechless. He could only scratch his head and giggle a few times, and barely managed to hold back a few words:
"Well... let's find the doctor."
The girl was stunned after hearing this, her eyes turned into crescent moons, she couldn't help but cover her mouth to hold back her laughter and said, "This is Jinghu Medical Village, and all the people who come here are seeking medical treatment!"
The silly fat man holding the windmill next to the girl took a stab at him and mocked Tianming, "Hey, what a fool!"
"Ah...yes, hahaha..." In front of the girl, Tianming tried his best to maintain a stable image and did not care about the silly fat man. He just smiled awkwardly, and his thick face could not withstand the pressure.
Looking at Hongxia, I don’t know if I am shy or embarrassed...
Shao Yu looked back and shook his head.
This kid, his limbs can understand things much faster than his brain...
As soon as Tianming said these two words, Gai Nie and others gathered around him.
The girl was not timid when seeing so many people. She bowed with a smile and then, to the surprise of Shaoyu and others, she was the first to say something to Gai Nie:
"Uncle Gai, long time no see."
There were deep questions hidden in Gai Nie's eyes, but his face remained serious and calm. He nodded and replied, "Qiantaki, why are you... here?"
Do these two people know each other?
Shaoyu looked at Qianlong and then at Gai Nie. He was extremely puzzled that Gai Nie, who came to Jinghu Medical Village for the first time, actually knew this... uh, this little girl who suddenly appeared in the medical village?<
/p>
No... Shaoyu immediately refocused on the key points. Putting aside the factor of Medical Village, this girl actually knows Sword Master Gai Nie, and her identity is obviously very special!
After all, Shao Yu acted more cautiously. He was confused but didn't rush to ask. However, it was hard to change his rough nature in the morning, so he immediately interrupted and asked, "Qian Taki?"
"Uncle, do you know her?"
Gai Nie lowered his head and glanced at Tianming, but did not respond to him and looked at the girl again.
Qianlong smiled sweetly at Gai Nie, and then explained to Shaoyu and others, "I am a helper at the medical village. I am responsible for helping Sister Rong. You can call me Qianlong."
This sentence not only introduced his identity to Shaoyu and others, but also answered Gai Nie's question.
