When she heard that this was the Baigou River, Xuan'er's eyes suddenly widened with excitement, and she had to get off the carriage and go to the river to see, despite the fact that it was still raining heavily outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yang Xianmao and Snake Fairy Gu had to get out of the car and carry an oil-paper umbrella and accompany her to the river.

Because the flood was so great, the original stone arch bridge has been completely submerged in the flood, and the river is much wider, and the view from here to the other side is like looking at the sea, and only near the water surface can there be a horizontal line, indicating the land, and even the trees on the other side can not be seen clearly.

Xuan'er's eyes widened and she raised her hand to look, and there was only a rolling torrent in front of her, mixed with trees, and the broken planks of the crumbling houses, but there was nothing else, and there was no terrible crocodile that she had come here to see.

She looked at it for a long time and muttered, "Why didn't you see it, where did you go?"

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but look at her suspiciously: "What are you looking for?

"Big crocodile, invulnerable, cannibalistic. ”

has arrived in Xuzhou, Princess Xuan'er no longer intends to hide this matter, and looks at Yang Xianmao with a little pride, as if he has been calculated by himself.

Yang Xianmao's head was big when she heard it, it turned out that this little girl heard that there was a monster here, and specially brought herself and the snake fairy girl here to find the monster, it seems that this monster is in this Baigou River, so why are you still standing by the river?

Yang Xianmao didn't believe in any monsters before, but the last time he was on the top of Yunxiao Mountain, after being swallowed by the huge Dapeng bird, he knew that the world was so big that there were no wonders, and not seeing it didn't mean that it didn't exist. And now when I heard the news that Xuan'er got it out of nowhere, there was actually a big crocodile that was eating people, and I couldn't help but feel nervous, so I quickly grabbed Xuan'er and said, "Go back, retreat to a safe place." - Why didn't you say it earlier if there were monsters?"

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but say that she would leave, Xuan'er was pulled by him and staggered a few steps, and said: "What are you afraid of? Sister Xiangu is an eighth-level master, and your level is not low, it seems to be a sixth-level, can't you two fight that monster? Ordinary people are afraid of it, and you two masters are still afraid?"

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but pull her out of more than a hundred steps, far away from the river, and then let go of her and said, "What's going on?"

Xuan'er didn't hide it, so she told what had happened.

Snake Fairy Gu and Yang Xianmao both had big heads when they heard this, that monster could actually bite off a big gap in a merchant ship, and it could bite off four or five people in one bite, how big should it be. couldn't help but pull Xuan'er back more than ten steps.

Xuan'er stomped her feet, slammed Yang Xianmao's hand away, and said, "With your point of interest, I didn't see you so scared when I was swallowed by that Dapeng bird." ”

Yang Xianmao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I wasn't scared at that time, but I didn't have time to be afraid at all, that Dapeng bird appeared too suddenly, and it swallowed the two of us at once." I wish there was a second time, so let's be careful. ”

Xuan'er spread her hands and said: "Anyway, if I want to enter Xuzhou City, I must cross the river, if you are afraid of death, then you go away, and I will find a ferry to cross the river myself!"

With that, Xuan'er walked away. Now, they can only cross the river, and with the two of them so skillful, they are not afraid of any big crocodiles. Previously, I was mainly worried about the princess. Knowing the princess's stubborn temper, he could only follow her to find a ferry to cross the river first.

The original stone bridge had been flooded, and they had to look for ferries.

There was an embankment on the riverbank, and as they walked down the embankment, they saw a group of soldiers patrolling the embankment with bows and arrows and steel knives on their backs. At the same time, there were several very large bed crossbows on the embankment.

In fact, it is more accurate to say that this kind of bed crossbow is not used to shoot people, but to siege cities. -- Arrows the thickness of a child's arm were shot into the rammed earth of the city wall, so dense that the besieging soldiers could climb up the city by holding on to the shafts of the arrows.

Of course, if the city wall is not too strong, this powerful and long-range bed crossbow concentrates the arrows on one point of the city wall, and continuous bombardment can collapse the city wall into a gap, and the soldiers can rush into the city and calmly break the city.

Unexpectedly, now this row of bed crossbows was arranged by the river, obviously to deal with the terrible big crocodile that Xuan'er said, the soldiers saw them and shouted for them to go down the river embankment immediately, and they couldn't walk on it.

Yang Xianmao had no choice but to show his waist card to show his identity as a lord. For these ordinary soldiers, he doesn't need to show Shang Fang's sword, the waist card is enough. When the soldiers saw a big official coming, they quickly knelt down on one knee and kowtowed.

Yang Xianmao asked where there was a ferry, and the soldier hurriedly asked him to wait, and immediately rushed forward to forcibly bring the captain who was holding the boat.

The captain was full of sorrow, for the soldier had told him that he had to ferry a high official and his family across the river, and that he must cross, or else he would be arrested and imprisoned.

Crossing the river is the most troublesome thing, because not only is it very likely that you will not get a reward, but you will also be beaten and scolded if you don't get it right, and if you don't get it right, you will be punished. If it was normal times, it would be fine, but now that the flood is raging, he feels unstable when he crosses the river by himself, let alone ferries a lord to cross the river.

The water is too big, not to mention that there are terrible crocodiles in the water, and these huge crocodiles are going to eat people, so it is risking your life to cross the river at this time. The crocodile doesn't know when it will pop up, no one can say.

But if he did not cross the river, and the sword was on his neck, what room for bargaining was there? His big boat was tied to a tree by the river. The boat is relatively large, and it is no problem to ferry two carriages at a time.

The captain and the boatman rowed the ferry to Yang Xianmao and them, and the boatman put down the pedals, and then stood respectfully at the bow of the boat to welcome Yang Xianmao and them on board. They are so respectful to such a lord as Yang Xianmao, if they knew that the little girl behind them was a princess, they were afraid that they would be even more nervous and afraid to die.

Yang Xianmao got on the boat, and said to the old man who was standing at the bow of the boat and bowed down to greet him: "It's hard work, this is a little meaning, give a few brothers a drink." He took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the old man's palm.

This ingot of silver is at least five taels, even if the old man ferries even if it is flood, it is only a hundred wen at a time, it is very unbelievable, and he got so much money at once, it is really a surprise, the silver in both hands is trembling, and he is busy saying: "Master, this reward is too much, and the villain does not dare to ask for ......."

Xuan'er followed the example of an adult with her hands behind her back, and said with a big stab: "Take it for you, what dare you not want." There are big man-eating crocodiles in this river, and you have to take a huge risk to ferry us across the river, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

When he heard this, the old man hurriedly took the silver carefully into his arms, and said with a smile: "Since the old man and this girl know that there are big crocodiles in this river, why do they take the risk of crossing the river? Many people dare not cross the river when they hear this, so they can only make a detour to other places and cross the river again. ”

Xuan'er asked curiously, "Where else can I cross the river?"

The old man said: "It seems to be like this, anyway, only in this area of Xuzhou has people seen this crocodile eating people, and other sections of the Baigou River have not heard of this kind of rumor, so the old man of Xuzhou Zhizhou only arranged a bed crossbow in this area, ready to hunt this crocodile, but this crocodile seems to have known the arrangements of the government, so he has not shown up again these days." ”

Xuan'er was a little disappointed and said, "Don't show up? What am I doing all the way here?" ”

The captain was a little strange, and wondered how this little girl wanted this big crocodile to show up.

Xuan'er looked fearless, Yang Xianmao and Snake Fairy Gu were indeed very nervous, one was in the bow of the boat, the other was guarding the princess, staring at the river with blazing eyes.

Ordinary bows and arrows couldn't pierce the scale armor of this big crocodile, but the snake fairy Gu was an eighth-level monk, and her magic weapon could easily penetrate even the hardest armor, she didn't believe that this crocodile's scale armor couldn't pierce.

The so-called art masters are bold, and the snake fairy is not afraid of this so-called invulnerable crocodile. Yang Xianmao's coiling dragon golden gun is not jealous, coupled with the soft armor on his body, and his bones have been tempered by Yin and Yang True Fire for a long time, and he is extremely tough, he doesn't believe that his current ability is no match for this crocodile.

In the end, it is a brute, even super strong people like Yelu Xiuge and Han Kuangsi have been deflated under Yang Xianmao, so although his scalp is a little numb, he is still full of confidence and decides to compete with this big crocodile.

The big ferry finally started. The two boatmen rowed the boat and watched nervously at the river, and the old man rocked the oar. The flood was so turbulent that such a large ferry kept rocking under the impact of the flood.

As the ferry slowly approached the center of the river, the ferry swayed more and more as the river became more and more turbulent. Yang Xianmao and Snake Immortal Gu were also getting more and more nervous, and Jiang Xin was the most likely to have that terrifying giant crocodile.

Xuan'er stared at her big beautiful eyes and looked east and west, wanting to see what the legendary terrible crocodile really looked like.

However, they had crossed the middle of the river and had approached the other side of the river, but the crocodile still did not appear. Yang Xianmao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked far away, and saw clearly that there were also patrolling soldiers on the riverbank on the opposite bank, and he was also looking at them nervously.

The ferry finally docked, and the journey was safe.

Although the huge flood made the ferry sway very badly, there was no danger, and there was no collision of wood down the river, if they encountered this kind of wood that rushed down the water surface, the ferry would be smashed and leaked and eventually sunk, but fortunately they did not encounter such danger. And the legendary crocodile never showed up.

When the ferry boat reached the embankment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Xuan'er was a little unwilling to look back at the river, the flood was surging and rolling through, and there were debris washed down by the flood on the river from time to time, but the legendary terrible crocodile was never seen. She pouted helplessly and followed Yang Xianmao ashore.
