Chapter 138 Engagement 2

Zhang Yang forgot a very important thing: the old mother can't ride a horse.

He helped his mother on the horse. Zhang Yang led the reins of the horse and slowly walked to the killing port. Uncle Liu and others followed.

In this way, it's almost dusk when we get to the murder port.

At night, it is very dangerous to walk through a labyrinth like Desheng Lake. Zhang Yang is a little difficult. Tomorrow is the day of engagement. If you don't get to the base today, Ruohan will be very anxious. If you go, you will be even more sad if you get lost in Desheng Lake.

"Shicheng, where on earth did you hide Ruohan?" My mother came here for the first time and didn't know where the base was.

"This..." I have to take a section of waterway, and it's getting late now. Do you think we're going to leave tomorrow?" Zhang Yang asked.

"No, you son of a bitch, what time is it tomorrow? You still want to go tomorrow. I'll tell you that if you don't send me before dark, let's see how I deal with you!" My mother is a little unhappy.

Can you blame me for this? I've been in a hurry all the time, but you and Uncle Liu have been talking endlessly. It's been delayed for so long. What can I do? There are no planes or telephones these days.

Zhang Yang looked at Uncle Liu, hoping that he could speak to stop his mother. Uncle Liu went back and forth several times and knew that the waterways there were complicated.

However, this old uncle Liu didn't intend to say anything else at all. He walked through the waterway several times, and every time it was so smooth. He thought it was the same as walking in his back garden. Moreover, he also thought that he could go back early and set up the tribute tonight to pay tribute to his ancestors and his brother.

There's nothing we can do. Let's go!

"Brother, it's so late, do you have to go back to the base?" Tang He came over and asked with concern.

"Yes, what can I do?" Zhang Yang was very moved. At the critical moment, his brother still cared about others.

Unexpectedly, Tang He continued, "Brother, when you get to the base, quickly ask Bo Sheng to bring me those newly built Tianque. I'm in a hurry to train new recruits."

"You..." Zhang Yang was speechless.

"Brother, don't worry, within a month, I will train this group of recruits for you within 200 steps."

"I..." Alas, Zhang Yang was very injured and stopped talking to him. He called a few people, got on the boat and returned to the base.

"Mom, be careful, sit in the cabin and don't get the wind." Zhang Yang said.

"It's okay. At the beginning, when I was young, I also took a lot of boats, and I also went to Jiqing."

"Yes, yes, mother, you sit firmly." Zhang Yang nodded and said that Jiqing is Nanjing, which is a big city. But when you were young, can you compare with what you are now?

"Chip the boat!" Zhang Yang said.

The sails rose, the oars rowed, and slowly left the dock of the killing port and headed for the base in Desheng Lake.

Zhang Yang looked up, and the red sun was about to set, and the river was shining brightly.

Another tiring day!

Zhang Yang's mood was not relaxed at all, but more nervous.

Although he knows that it should be the first quarter moon now. Although the moon is not as bright as fifteen, it can illuminate the earth clearly, he still dares not slack off, because he has an ominous foreboding.

Slowly, the boat enters the reeds, and after another hour of walking the waterway, it should be able to reach the base.

In the reeds, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. The night was all dark, the birds returned to the nest, everything was quiet, and the seductive sound of wild ducks disappeared.

The wind is getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of the boat is getting slower and slower.

"Except for a sailor and a helmsman, all the rest are paddled!" Zhang Yang said.

When the others heard it, they quickly took out their oars and rowed.

Usually, there is no emergency. Generally, wind is used to sail. Only when the situation is urgent, the oars are used, because rowing is very laborious and the speed is not fast.

It seems that Zhang Yang is really anxious.

"Shicheng, why haven't we arrived yet?" The mother in the cabin asked. This turning around is going to make me dizzy.

"Mom, I'll be there soon. Please wait a moment." Zhang Yang comforted that his heart was more and more anxious.

The air around is getting more and more wet, as if there is a feeling of entering the steamer. Zhang Yang raised his head and suddenly found that the bright half moon above his head had become a little gray.

The reeds in the distance and the surface of the water also seemed to become complicated and confusing, like a fairyland, like a thin layer of white gauze, and everything became in a trance.

It's still foggy! I still haven't escaped!

Now it is autumn, and the temperature is still relatively high during the day, which will hold more water vapor in the air on the lake. But at night, the temperature drops, and the ability to hold water vapor in the air decreases. Therefore, part of the water vapor will condense into fog. Moreover, due to the small wind, it is easier to form fog, and as the night gets deeper and deeper, the fog will become heavier and heavier.

"Quick, speed up the boating!" Zhang Yang said.

Without Zhang Yang's instructions, these people often used to sail on the lake. Naturally, they knew the danger, especially the maze-like reeds. They sail by memory during the day, and it was more dangerous at night. There was moonlight, but it was foggy. It was very likely that they would all be trapped in this lake.

Damn it, if only there was a global positioning system. Zhang Yang was very anxious. He only relied on two eyes to know the way. Now his eyes are dark, and it is easy to get lost.

There are still more than 20 bends, and you will arrive at the base. As long as you rush to the base before the thick fog, you will be saved. Otherwise, you can only stop the boat and wait. If you walk around, it will be dawn. I don't know where you are, and you can't sail. It's normal to be trapped here and can't get out for ten days and a half months.

"Shicheng, why haven't you arrived yet?" My mother complained in the cabin again.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be there soon."

"Immediately? How many times have you been there? My mother has been sitting in the cabin for a long time and is a little dizzy.

...............

Liu Ruohan packed up early and just waited for the arrival of Brother Shicheng.

In the morning, Bian Yuanheng had returned to the base, saying that Brother Shicheng went back to pick up his mother, and then came together. Liu Ruohan finally put down a big stone in his heart.

When Bian Yuanheng left a few days ago, Liu Ruohan was afraid that Brother Shicheng would delay his engagement because of major events. Although she respected Brother Shicheng very much, if he couldn't get out of anything, Ruohan would definitely understand. However, after all, a woman only got married once in her life, and she didn't want to be ruined by various reasons.

After waiting all afternoon and looking at the watchtower all afternoon, she didn't see the familiar boat. Her heart began to feel uneasy. It should have arrived. Brother Shicheng still rode back. Where's her uncle? Why can't you see him?

She stood up and sat down in the house. She was in a mess. What happened?

She walked to the window and pushed open the red window. After a while, the word "happy" should be pasted on the window paper, right?

There was no bright moonlight coming in. She looked up and couldn't see anything clearly.

What a big fog!
