Chapter 790 I Really Found It!

Perhaps for many practitioners, seeing a place like Pingzhou may only give them a brief glance. Even in the eyes of some powerful people in the world, this is just a "little Pingzhou".

However, Yu Xinmei already has a deep understanding of these human cities, where mortals cultivate their health and live together.

Thousands of families live in this so-called small Pingzhou. People have their own thoughts and personalities. Men, women, old and young go about their own business, and the sun rises and sets.

All kinds of locals and a steady stream of foreign visitors make up this seemingly inconspicuous Pingzhou City, and it also creates a complex atmosphere.

It is not easy to find a person in such a city and know whether that person is really not here, because sometimes people's temperament will change. Although the change is small, it really does change.

And it’s not just men. After all, it’s not uncommon to be reincarnated as a man in one life and as a woman in the next. The only good thing is that Zhou Youzhi passed away less than thirty years ago, so he is unlikely to be too old in this life. .

Yu Xinmei sometimes even wonders whether she has met Zhou Youzhi a long time ago but just didn't recognize him, so has she missed him a long time ago?

In the starry night, Yu Xinmei sat cross-legged under a willow tree by the Zhuoyang River. She had tried staying in an inn in the city, but by comparison, being by the water made her more comfortable and made it easier for her to calm down.

It has been several days, not counting every corner of Pingzhou City, but there seems to be little hope. During this period, there were two white rainbows crossing the sky, which must be the former Sword Immortal.

Yu Xinmei thought maybe she should leave here.

In the early morning, mist filled the Zhuoyang River and both sides of the river. Early in the morning, the ferries on the Zhuoyang River were already busy.

The flood has receded this time. Although it did not destroy many houses or cause many casualties, it destroyed many crops. At the same time, driftwood and other objects from upstream also washed away some bridges on the Zhuoyang River along with the flood.

The Zhuoyang River is still quite wide in the section close to Pingzhou City. The nearest bridge has been destroyed. If you don't want to take a long detour, the best way to cross the river is to take a ferry.

To the south of the river is Pingzhou City, an ancient city with only a section of the old city wall left. The city has been expanded several times and has been peaceful for many years, and no city walls have been built to surround the city.

On the north bank of the Zhuoyang River, some people who were waiting to cross the river were waiting on the bank, waiting for the ferries to come and pick them up.

Two more ships docked. Some of the people on the shore were carrying vegetables and live poultry, some were carrying boxes, and some were traveling lightly, but everyone squeezed in.

"Boatman, how much does it cost to cross the river?" "Let me get on the boat first!"

"I'll go first, hey, hey, don't be crowded!" "Hurry up, son, I've got a seat for you!"

The boatman was also using his oars to support the back side of the boat to prevent the boat from being pushed away from the shore, and at the same time he was shouting loudly.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, take it easy! It costs ten cents per person, and carrying a pole counts as two people!"

"What? Ten cents, and the price has increased again?" "Why does carrying a pole count as two people?"

"You are carrying two baskets. They are big and heavy. It's fair to say that you two are worth ten cents each. You don't like to sit down. Alas, the Zhuoyang River is so wide. I don't want to take a boat to take a detour of thirty miles. Legs go!”

"Hey, sit, sit, sit!"

"That's right!"

The boatman was happy, and the situation on the other boat was similar.

On the shore, there was a man who looked elegant and dressed in dark clothes. He had a bun on his head and a knot in his hands. He was walking on the shore with a frown and a bag on his back. He was not dressed like an ordinary scholar, but he didn't look like a farmer either.

"Hey boatman, can I cross the river for five cents?"

"Five cents? Are you joking, young man? They won't agree even if I promise?"

"Yes, it cost me ten cents!" "Oh, I can agree to it, the boatman, as long as you refund me five cents!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

The boatman cursed, looked at the people on the boat, and then looked at the people on the shore.

"Young man, can you sit down for ten cents?"

The man on the shore shook his head.

"Okay, if you don't want to sit down, don't sit down. However, I would like to remind you, don't think about taking a detour. If you go thirty miles into the mountains, there will be strong men, jackals, tigers and leopards!"

The boatman frightened the young man on the shore so that he would rarely leave the house after seeing him, then he pushed the boat and left.

The people waiting for the boat next to me have almost left, and only a few are left. They all think the boat fare is expensive.

"Oh, these boatmen are all jealous when they see money." "That's right, there are ten cents, just wait a little longer!"

"Is there still a boat?" "It's hard to say. There should be. As soon as there are fewer people taking the boat, the price will naturally be reduced!"

The remaining people were talking, and the young man also frowned and looked at the other side. He was short of money. If he really couldn't do it, he could wait until tomorrow, but he definitely couldn't delay it any longer, because the provincial examination would be in three days.

At this time, in the morning mist, the boatman of a ferry boat was singing and rowing as it approached the north shore.

The ferry seemed to be coming slowly and leisurely, but it soon reached the shore. An old man on the boat was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He had stopped rocking the oar in his hand, letting the boat slowly approach the shore with the inertia, while the boatman himself held a hand in his hand. A gourd took a sip.

"Boatman, does your boat carry people across the river?"

Someone asked anxiously, and the captain on the boat put down the gourd and smiled.

"Of course it's for ferrying people. Dear guests, if you want to cross the river, just get on the boat!"

The man carrying the luggage asked quickly.

"How much does one cost?"

The boatman smiled and held out five fingers.

"Five cents a head!"

The people on the shore were overjoyed.

"Okay, okay! I'll get on the boat!" "Me too!" "Hey, hey, don't push, don't push!"

"I'll go first!"

The remaining few people rushed to get on the boat one by one. The man in the dark clothes couldn't squeeze through the others. The boat was shaking left and right under the feet of the people who got on the boat one after another. It seemed that someone in the distance heard the noise and rushed to the shore.

Finally, the man in the dark clothes also got on the boat, but the good seats on the boat were all taken, so he could only stand at the bow.

"Boatman, boatman - there are still people -"

Someone was running over there trying to come over, but the boatman smiled and shook his head.

"Take the next trip -"

As soon as the voice fell, there was no sight of using a pole to support the shore. The ferry had slowly left the shore, and then gradually turned and headed to the south bank of Zhuoyang River.

"The breeze blows southwards, Guipingzhou, rowing boats to ferry people, exchanging for good wine, getting drunk, relieving all worries, not thinking about power and wealth, not thinking about worries"

On the Zhuoyang River in the early morning, the boatman's singing rose and fell, as if it spread to both sides of the river and drifted far away along the river. The people sitting on the ferry also listened quietly. Hearing the song made people feel calm, and even the man on the bow seemed no longer impatient.

Under the willow tree outside the city on the south bank, Yu Xinmei's eyelids twitched slightly. She also heard the melodious singing, then opened her eyes and subconsciously looked into the river, as if she wanted to see which boatman was singing through the thin mist.

In the process of looking for Zhou Youzhi, occasionally there would be some people who moved Yu Xinmei. That was the spirituality unique to mortals, and the fireworks of the world.

In Pingzhou City, Yi Shuyuan walked on the street with a folding fan in his hand. At this moment, he looked at the sky with a feeling in his heart, smiled and shook his head, and then opened his mouth slightly.

At this moment, a mist appeared in the dragon ball in his body, and it was gently exhaled from Yi Shuyuan's mouth.

The next moment, the originally cloudy sky seemed to be slightly darker, and then it began to rain.

"Hua La La La"

The rain enveloped Pingzhou City, and soon spread to the entire Pingzhou and its surroundings, and also caused the thin layer of mist on the Zhuoyang River to dissipate in the rain.

Of course, this rain seemed to have other special features, such as a sword light across Pingzhou at the moment, even if you look down, you will not be aware of what happened by the river.

A little rain is nothing to Yu Xinmei, but it makes her feel better. She walked forward in the rain, just to see what the singing boatman looks like.

On the Zhuoyang River, the ferry swayed slightly as it approached the shore. The boatman rowed the oars and raised the gourd to take a sip from time to time. Then the boat docked. It was not a proper dock, but the bow of the boat hit the mud and stone step by the river.

"We're here!" "Get off the boat, get off the boat!" "It's raining, it's raining!"

"Yes, yes, yes"

"Don't push, oops!"

This time, the man at the bow was almost pushed off the boat by the people on the boat, and fell directly on the shore, while the people on the boat rushed to get off.

They were so anxious not only because it was raining, but the boatman might have been drunk and hadn't collected the boat fare yet. Some people were kind enough to leave money, and some people just ran away after getting off.

The man who fell to the ground rubbed his knees, watched those people running away, and couldn't help but scolded them.

"What a bunch of bastards!"

As he said that, the man climbed up, patted the mud on his body, shrank to the side of the boat, and took out five copper coins and handed them to the boatman.

"Boatman, my boat fare!"

The boatman smiled, reached out to take the copper coins, and then paddled a few times. The boat had already left the shore and sang a ballad to the Zhuoyang River.

The man didn't want to stay by the river for long, so he ran quickly. However, he didn't run two steps. He seemed to notice something. He looked behind a tree on one side and saw a woman in white staring at him blankly. The woman was so beautiful that the man couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Ouch." "Ah!" Two screams of pain sounded at the same time. The man bumped into another person and they both fell to the ground at the same time. However, the latter didn't want to argue with him, but hurried to the river and shouted. "Boatman - boatman, don't go - you only do business on one side? I'm going to the north bank -" Unfortunately, only the singing in the river echoed, and the boatman didn't seem to hear it. The man over there rubbed his head and got up, his eyes still looking at the woman's direction. It seemed that because of the collision just now, the woman was covering her mouth and laughing. "Alas! It's all your fault. I can't catch the boat!" The people on the shore turned back and pointed at the man and scolded him. "Ah? I am so rude, it is my fault, please forgive me!"

"You don't look unreasonable, why don't you look ahead when you walk?"

"Yes, yes, brother, you are right!"

The man apologized again and again, it was indeed because he didn't look ahead just now. Seeing him like this, the person who cursed him didn't mean to make things difficult for him, so he couldn't vent his anger. In addition, it was still raining, so he naturally stopped nagging him, and hurried away after saying a few words.

It was just a short while later, the man with a lot of muddy clothes looked at the direction of the woman again, but found that she was gone, which made the man look around and then stunned in the rain for a long time.

Is it just an illusion?

A dozen steps away, under the tree on the bank, Yu Xinmei was hiding here with her back against a big tree, one hand pressed on her chest, and her breathing was a little hurried.

Found it, finally found it, really found it!

But when she finally found it, Yu Xinmei didn't know how to face it. She couldn't just say, "You did me a great favor in your previous life, so I'm here to repay you."
