Huang Rong pulled Guo Jing's hand impatiently and looked at the dock. This time, Guo Jing was not dumbfounded. He said to Lu Zhanyuan,""Brother Lu, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.”
Lu Zhanyuan didn't want to break up with her so quickly. He stopped Guo Jing and said,""Brother Guo, why do you have to leave so soon? If there's nothing urgent, why don't we go to a nearby restaurant and have a few drinks? I know a restaurant that serves pretty good wine, and the snacks there are also quite unique.”
Huang Rong had no intention of giving Lu Zhanyuan any face. She continued,""We have urgent matters to attend to."
" I don't know what urgent matter Miss Huang has," Lu Zhanyuan said thick-skinned." Perhaps I can help."”
"No need! It's not convenient!" This time, Huang Rong's voice was a little emotional, but it was the kind that carried anger.
Lu Zhanyuan felt a little embarrassed after being rejected so many times. He could only laugh awkwardly. Li Mochou was unwilling." Lu Lang," he said," maybe she's in a hurry to meet her lover. Why bother with her?"”
Seeing that they were going to quarrel again, Guo Jing quickly said,"Brother Lu, farewell!" He pulled Huang Rong away and even used his lightness skill. He didn't even have time to look at Yun Feng. Yun Feng could only shake his head and quickly follow. He felt that he was becoming less and less important in Guo Jing's heart.
Seeing Guo Jing pulling her out of the city gate, Huang Rong said angrily,""Silly big brother, you're going the wrong way. The dock is in the west. If you go east now, you're going the wrong way.”Guo Jing stopped when he heard that and laughed foolishly."I don't know the direction, and I've made Rong 'er laugh.”Huang Rong pursed her lips." I wouldn't dare to laugh at you. You didn't even help Rong 'er when she was being bullied. You even dragged me away. If I laugh at you, I won't bother Rong' er anymore."”
Seeing that Huang Rong was concerned, Guo Jing straightened his expression and said seriously,"Rong 'er, it's not that Brother Jing let others bully you. It was just that the other party was ruthless. If they had a conflict with her again, once her poisonous needles hit a place where you were not protected, it would be dangerous. Therefore, it was better to avoid trouble.”
Girls liked to listen to sweet words. From three years old to eighty years old, even if they knew that it was a lie, they would still be very happy, let alone an honest person like Guo Jing. Although his original intention was not to deceive Huang Rong, the effect was even better. At least Huang Rong was smiling after hearing it, and there was no sign of anger at all.
However, Yun Feng obviously wanted to take revenge on Guo Jing for forgetting about him, so he said something to ruin this slightly flirtatious moment." I say, Little Jing, I didn't expect you to be someone who forgets friends for women. Did you forget about me when you left? Did you think that I was an eyesore and want to abandon me?”After saying that, he deliberately looked at Guo Jing with a resentful gaze. Fortunately, no one saw it except Guo Jing. Otherwise, Yun Feng really wouldn't be able to put down his face and pretend to be a resentful woman.
Guo Jing didn't feel nauseous by that resentful gaze, but Yun Feng's words frightened him. He didn't hear Yun Feng's humorous words. Guo Jing's face flushed red as he hurriedly apologized to Yun Feng,""Big brother, it's Jing 'er's fault. Jing' er didn't forget big brother.。。It's just that…" That expression, that action, it was just short of swearing to the heavens. It was so sincere that it made people feel that bullying this honest person would cause them to be struck by lightning. However, Yun Feng was obviously not afraid of lightning. He still had a straight face, but he was laughing in his heart.
Huang Rong felt strange when she saw Guo Jing suddenly panicking. He seemed to be apologizing to someone, but there was no one in the direction he was facing. A thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly shook her head and rejected it. Perhaps she did not accept her ridiculous thoughts subconsciously.
"Brother Jing, who are you talking to?”Huang Rong walked to Guo Jing and asked softly. Guo Jing looked at her with an aggrieved expression and told Huang Rong intermittently about how he had only cared about pulling her away and had "forgotten" about his brother. After Huang Rong heard it, she asked Guo Jing and Yun Feng in detail what they had told him. After listening, she giggled.
Guo Jing wasn't annoyed by Huang Rong's sudden laughter, but he was even more depressed. He thought Huang Rong was also laughing at him for not remembering things and even forgetting his big brother who had helped him so much. Huang Rong saw that Guo Jing was getting more and more depressed, so she stopped laughing. She looked around and said loudly,"Brother Jing, that big brother of yours is like a child. He's even jealous like this!”
Ever since he saw Huang Rong ask, Yun Feng knew that the matter of "bullying" Guo Jing would soon be exposed. However, he did not expect Huang Rong to actually say that he was "jealous." Yun Feng felt that he was just playing a prank and wanted to tease this brother. However, thinking about it further, he did feel a little jealous. Perhaps Yun Feng had been with Guo Jing for too long, and no one could chat with him. No one even felt his existence, so Guo Jing did not notice him for a moment. It made him feel a little abandoned by the world. Loneliness could make people go crazy, especially when they were lonely in a busy city.
With Huang Rong's explanation, Guo Jing finally understood Yun Feng's humorous words. However, he looked at Yun Feng with a little worry and wanted to prove whether Huang Rong was telling the truth. Yun Feng looked at Guo Jing's innocent eyes and nodded. He felt a little guilty for bullying an honest person. Only then did Guo Jing heave a sigh of relief. He had never thought that he was bullied.
After a while, it was already midnight. Although it was still early, there was still a long way to go from here to Peach Blossom Island. It was not safe to take the water route at night, so they decided to take a walk around Suzhou City and find an inn to rest at night. They would set off for Peach Blossom Island the next morning.
The next day, Guo Jing and his party arrived at the dock in Suzhou. At this time, the economy and trade of the Song Dynasty were very prosperous. The wealthy merchants in Jiangnan not only had their businesses spread all over the country, but also extended their tentacles to the Wei Kingdom, Korea, Southeast Asia and other places. Although Lin 'an was not far from Suzhou, most of the merchants went to the huge dock in Lin' an to trade and unload their goods. However, there were many wealthy merchants in Suzhou. Therefore, in terms of prosperity, even if it could not compare to Lin 'an, it was still one of the best in the Song Dynasty.
Guo Jing looked at the scene of thousands of sails covering the sky and said to Huang Rong excitedly,"Are we going to find these big ships to go to Peach Blossom Island?”Huang Rong understood Guo Jing's feelings and smiled.""These big ships are used by those rich merchants for long-distance voyages. They don't lack money, and they spend a lot of money and food every time they set off. Therefore, it's impossible to set off these ships just for the short distance to Peach Blossom Island. This is where the big ships are docked. We're looking for small boats and fishing boats. Therefore, they had to go further so that they could go out to sea to Peach Blossom Island.”
Guo Jing looked at these huge merchant ships with slight disappointment. Growing up in the grasslands, he had never seen a ship the size of a small mountain. He thought he could ride it, but it was not a bad experience to be able to go out to sea once.
After taking a fancy to a relatively new boat that did not have any strange smell, Huang Rong said to Guo Jing,"Brother Jing, don't talk. Let me do the talking.”Guo Jing nodded in confusion.
Huang Rong smiled and walked to the boatman who was cleaning the boat. She said to him,"Boatman, we siblings want to go out to sea to take a look. I wonder if you can take us there. Of course, we will not give you less money.”
How could they not do business? From Huang Rong's attire, it was obvious that she was a rich young lady. She would probably give a lot of tips. At most, it would be good to only pay for the boat. Therefore, the boatman smiled and greeted Guo Jing and the others to board the boat. Then, he tried his best to push the boat and fly to the sea.
The ship sailed fast with the wind, and time passed quickly. After about an hour, they were already far away from the land. The sea water had also turned from the original blue to deep blue. There was only sea water around them, and no islands could be seen, let alone people. Guo Jing looked at the scenery of the sea and the sky. From time to time, there were fish jumping over the sea. This feeling made Guo Jing feel relaxed and happy when he saw the sea for the first time. He imitated Yun Feng and opened his hands and closed his eyes, feeling the moist sea breeze caressing his face.
The boatman said to Huang Rong fawningly,"Miss, this sea doesn't need land. If you wander around randomly, it's easy to get trapped on the sea and not be able to return. Therefore, Miss, it's better to give the little old man a clear place so that the little old man can have a foundation.”
Huang Rong slowly pulled out a dagger and gestured a few times. She smiled and said to the boatman,"Boatman, please go to Peach Blossom Island.”The boatman said with trepidation," Miss, Miss, this dagger is making the little old man dizzy. It's better not to take it out." Moreover, there was a man-eating demon on the Peach Blossom Island. That place was deadly.”
Huang Rong's face turned serious as she shouted,"Go if I tell you to. What are you talking about?"?If you don't want to go, then it's fine. I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish now!”The boatman could only agree. Guo Jing had promised Huang Rong not to say anything, so he did not ask.
The ship turned southeast, and after two hours, they could vaguely see a flowery island.
