If you don't master the rowing skills, the seemingly calm river will make the rowers constantly spin in place, and they will not be able to move forward at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yao Xitong did know how to row, and under his guidance, Xiao Bao'er had a good physique and made the boat move.

Under the moonlight, her body was as thin as bean sprouts, and one person tried her best to do the work of two people. Yao Xitong sat next to her and pointed and painted, completely ignoring the sweat oozing from her forehead and the ever-thickening breathing.

Xiao Bao'er was very tired, she had never done such boring high-intensity physical work. I couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take to get to the other side?"

"The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the river is murmuring, why are you in a hurry? You should take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the Spring River with a calm mind, you must know that the river is wide, and you can only reach the other side tomorrow, and it will be more difficult to shake the oars under the scorching sun!"

"I'm quitting, there are so many men on the boat to call, why are you pointing at me a woman to hold the boat and rock?"

"This is a bad statement, the water bandits are cunning, if they let them hold the boat and rock, I am afraid that we will not survive the dawn. Except for the bandits, everyone else has eaten soft tendons, which can paralyze people's limbs, and we are powerless to hold the boat. ”

"Why did you take it when you guessed that there was medicine in the food?"

"The fish head cake tastes good......"

Yao Xitong's shamelessness has obviously reached a realm, and the key is that Xiao Baoer doesn't think he is wrong, and asks rhetorically: "It's really delicious?"

"I'll tell you, the key to the fish head cake is ......"

"I went ashore and said I couldn't eat any food on the boat. After speaking, Xiao Bao'er looked at the river and sighed, "Is there any light skill that allows people to fly directly across the two sides of the strait without taking a boat?" ”

"I don't have light skills, but I have a pill in my hand that can make people as light as a swallow and cross the river as if walking on the ground. ”

Yao Xitong's words made Xiao Bao'er put down the boat, glared and asked, "Really, is there such a miracle medicine in the world?"

"Naturally, the name of this medicine is Yan Xingdan, one pill every ten days. If you take the medicine, I promise that when you return to Zhongling County from Chuncheng, you can walk directly on the surface of the Chunjiang River without taking a boat. ”

"Give it to me," Xiao Bao'er asked Yao Xitong for medicine with her mouth open. The latter stretched out his hand to her and shook his palm upward, "Give money!"

"No money. ”

"If you don't have money, you can't have medicine, Yan Xingdan is precious, and it only sells to the rich. ”

"How much do you want?"

"One hundred and two taels of silver. ”

The crow just gave Xiao Bao'er so much, she exclaimed, "Okay, you calculate me, you know that the crow gave me money." ”

"The crow gives you money? The slave gives the master money? I don't know about this? One hundred taels is Yan Xingdan's money, and two taels is the money for the bottle containing the pill, which has always been the price, and Tong Su is not deceived. ”

Xiao Bao'er just took out the hot silver to Yao Xitong, "The money can be given to you, but you need to set up a note, after a month, if I can't walk the Spring River, you must compensate me ten times the silver taels." ”

Yao Xitong smiled slightly, this person actually bargained, obviously not stupid to the house, the little brain melon can be treated. "Since the money has been collected, it is necessary to make a note. ”

Xiao Bao'er saw that he was willing to write evidence, and became more and more convinced of Yan Xingdan's effect. When I swayed the oar again, I had a little more strength than before.

Zhu Zhigao walked up to the deck, and saw that the person who was rocking the oars was Xiao Bao'er, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yao, do you need my help here?"

"Can you swing a row?"

"No, but it shouldn't be difficult to learn. ”

"Okay, you can try it,"

Xiao Bao'er let go of the boat and felt that her arms were sore, and her white and tender palms were even blistered. I haven't hunted on horseback for a long time, but I have become a lot of fine skin and tender meat.

Yao Xitong also saw the blister, and generously handed her the bottle of medicinal honey in his arms, "Promote blood and muscles, and leave no scars." ”

"Eating snake meat and using it, and saying that it can prevent lice, and now it can cure wounds, this is a panacea?"

"yes, do you need it?"

"Yes, why not, no money anyway!"

Zhu Zhigao has been walking outside all the year round, and has taken flat boats, painting boats, and building boats. Yao Xitong only needed a little pointing, and he mastered the skill of rocking the oar, and the boat moved smoothly towards the opposite shore under his operation.

"Brother Yao, thank you and this girl for your timely help last night. But I don't understand one thing, when I took the boat yesterday, with Brother Yao's intelligence, didn't I see that this was a black ship?"

In the gradually whitening morning light, Yao Xitong stood at the bow of the boat facing the wind, his upright back and the mist on the river surface formed a beautiful pattern. He didn't look back and said, "I know it's a black ship, but some people like it, what's the solution!"

"What do you mean by some people, didn't I give in in the end? You know that it is a pit and let me jump in, lack of virtue or not?"

"How do you know that I am so wise and wise if you don't jump a few times? Besides, if I dragged you to a fishing boat, would you go? You would stick to your choice, not listen to my advice, and continue to magnify your mistakes. ”

Xiao Bao'er was counted down again, and when she got on the boat, she guessed that Yao Xitong would be fine when she laughed. But she is still attracted by good ships and low prices, and she really makes mistakes and repeats mistakes. She bit her lip and stared at Yao Xitong angrily, eager to poke a few holes out of it with her gaze.

Zhu Zhigao wanted to be a peacemaker, but the moment he spoke, he was attracted by Xiao Bao'er's vivid expression, he looked at Xiao Bao'er blankly, completely forgetting what he wanted to say. It wasn't until he was glared coldly by Yao Xitong that he suddenly realized his gaffe, hurriedly cast his eyes on the river, and rowed seriously.

There was no word for a moment, and the air was quiet except for the creaking of boats and the sound of gurgling water.

Xiao Bao'er stood alone in the corner sulking, and waited for the anger to subside before asking, "How do you know that something is wrong with this ship?"

"The price, the price of this kind of boat cannot be lower than that of a fishing boat, I thought that the boatman would increase the price in the middle of the river, and if he didn't give us the money, he would throw us into the water. Once on the deck, the new guardrails and brown deck allowed me to disprove my previous suspicion that it was a murderous black ship. ”

"I took a few more looks, and the boatman immediately explained that the boat had to change the railing because it had touched the reef. The boatman spoke in a loud voice, and you should have heard that there was something wrong with this, but unfortunately you were busy occupying a seat and missed this. ”

Speaking of this, Yao Xitong didn't go on, and looked at Xiao Bao'er with a kind of "Do you understand my words" eyes.

Xiao Bao'er has a stupid mouth, but her brain is not stupid, and she is just too lazy to think most of the time.

As Yao Xitong slowly listed the suspicions, she thought about it carefully and said: "The boatman's explanation is suspected of trying to cover up, if the ship hits the rock, it is the bottom of the ship that needs to be repaired instead of the guardrail. I'm afraid that there are too many knife marks on the old guardrail, and the boatman is afraid that he won't be able to deceive those dart masters. As for the brown deck, there must have been too much blood to brush it clean. ”

Yao Xitong knew Xiao Baoer's shortcomings, and she wanted to cultivate her ability to think independently, so as not to be damaged by Qingshanjun in the future.

He continued: "The first thing that attracted me in the cabin were the four scholars, who were dressed up and had the same shoes on their feet. If they knew each other, these people just pretended not to know each other, and it was very strange to watch. ”

Zhu Zhigao on the side couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yao, why did you ignore those four short-dressed men at the first time, could it be that you know that they are darts?"

"Almost, these four people have not concealed their identities, and they obviously rely on them. Judging from the expressions on their faces as they looked at each passenger, they must have carried something of value on them, and the probability of walking darts is relatively high. ”

Zhu Zhigao asked again: "How do you know that the old man, the nun is not an ordinary person?"

"I don't know, but I remember a friend said that there are three kinds of people who are most afraid of walking in the rivers and lakes: the elderly, children, and monks. These three types of people seem harmless, but they can kill the unsuspecting when they make a move. ”

Xiao Baoer has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is full of curiosity about things on the rivers and lakes. She listened to everything Yao Xitong and Zhu Zhigao said with relish, and seeing that the people sitting in the cabin had already mentioned it, she asked: "Tell me about that kidnapper, how do you know that she is in a gang with the water bandits." ”

She was not in the same group as the bandits, and seeing that the bandits would do something to the passengers, she took the initiative to seek refuge in the bandits. ”

"Why would the bandits help her?"

Yao Xitong knew the answer, but couldn't think of how to tell Xiao Bao'er.

The woman had been on deck for a long time with the child in her arms, and when she entered the cabin, her flushed face and disheveled hair showed at a glance what had happened. There were only the captain and the boatman on deck, and the captain had to steer and support the ship, and the young woman found the shipowner and dedicated herself to avoid trouble. The children of the rivers and lakes are informal, this kind of thing can be understood, and it is not easy to say.

In order to take care of Xiao Bao'er, he said: "I guess it's not the first time that the woman has abducted a child, and she and the boat family should be acquaintances." The group of sailors obeyed the orders of the boat family, and when they saw that the boat family was familiar with the woman, they naturally wanted to sell the woman a face. ”

"Listening to your explanation, I feel like I have a pair of white eyes, and I can't see anything. In the future, when you go out, you need to have more eyes, and many inconspicuous small details can often determine the success or failure of things. ”

Details determine success or failure, this kind of words actually came from Xiao Bao'er's mouth, Yao Xitong praised, "Yes, there is progress." ”

Zhu Zhigao shook the oar silently, secretly figuring out the identities of Xiao Yao and the others. Handsome men and beautiful women, with a graceful bearing, neither like a husband and wife, nor like a master and servant, considering that Xiao Baoer is of different races, he privately thinks that the two are lovers. Only women of different races can ignore the etiquette of Daxia and travel alone with men.

"Brother Yao, I don't know if I can go with you after I get to the shore?"

Xiao Bao'er feels right, Zhu Zhigao and Zhu Zhijuan are sisters and brothers, both of them are from Song Di Zhuque, and Zhu Zhigao's trip also has something to do with Zhu Zhijuan.

More than a month ago, Zhu Zhigao was shocked to hear that his sister who was recuperating in the temple had passed away, and the family dealt with it in a low-key manner, and his parents were vague about how his sister died. He knew that his sister had died strangely, but the elders in the family refused to tell him the details, so he had to leave home in a bad mood, saying that he was going to travel.

On the eve of his departure, his father had a thorough conversation with him, hoping that he would visit famous people and make friends while traveling, and the future of the family depended on him.

The Zhu family is still a slave for more than three generations, and has been very low-key since its development, and the family motto is simply four words - diligence and thrift.

The people of the Song Dynasty like to call the Zhu family "Vermilion Bird". Unlike several other families, the relationship between the Zhu family and the Song Dynasty is too deep, and once the situation changes, the Zhu family is afraid of being implicated. His father asked him to travel, hoping that he could find a way to have both worlds, not only to keep the family wealth, but also to get rid of the shackles of the Song Land.

Chen Di was his first stop after leaving home, and he originally planned to go to Spring City with Ma Jun to visit an old friend, but he unexpectedly met a person like Yao Xitong ~ Liuyun, and he felt that it was an opportunity given by God, and he had to seize it no matter what!

Even if there is no Yao Xitong, Xiao Baoer is not bad, the Zhu family is more open-minded, recruiting talents only for ability, regardless of gender and background.

Yao Xitong is very smart, so he naturally knows Zhu Zhigao's thoughts. If it was just Zhu Zhigao alone, he wouldn't mind taking the lead in the slow slaughter of the golden pig. If you add Ma Jun, it's best to stay away from this kind of person who doesn't know the details.

He politely refused: "Brother Zhu, I have something important to go to Spring City, and it is inconvenient to walk with others." ”

Zhu Zhigao looked at Xiao Bao'er with hope, "What is this girl's name, can we walk with you?"

Xiao Bao'er didn't answer his question, and asked rhetorically, "Did you hear any sounds?"

Zhu Zhigao stopped rocking the oars and listened attentively, "There is a sound, and it is faintly heard like a knock on the door." ”

Yao Xitong thought for a moment, exclaimed and ran to the cabin. I saw Ma Jun fainting in the cabin, and the bandits and women who were tied up were all gone.

Xiao Bao'er picked up the rope on the ground and looked at it, and asked curiously: "The rope is not broken, and I tied it so tightly, how did they escape?"

Yao Xitong said angrily, "It must be that woman who pleaded in every way, and Ma Jun was moved by compassion, so he untied the rope for her......"

Xiao Bao'er raised her foot and kicked at Ma Jun, "It's useless to be a scholar," the unconscious Ma Jun was kicked and slid from the inside of the cabin to the hatch.

Zhu Zhigao, who followed them in, happened to see this scene, and anxiously wanted to defend Ma Jun, and when he met Xiao Bao'er's murderous gaze, he wisely closed his mouth.

Ma Jun was in the same private school as him, participated in scientific examinations, and although his name fell to Sun Shan, he made a lot of friends in Dadu. Hearing that he wanted to go on a trip, Ma Jun happened to visit his old friends in Chendi, and the two decided to go together.

Fellow villagers, classmates, and companions, he couldn't ignore them, so he could only run to Ma Jun's side to help him check his injuries under Xiao Baoer's murderous gaze.

"Knock knock...... The sound of "th......ump" became more and more pronounced in the cabin.

Yao Xitong said: "The water bandits can't beat you, and they can't bear to be angry, so they can only go into the water to scuttle the boat, hurry up and pack up your things, it's best to leave here before the shipwreck." ”

Xiao Bao'er nodded in agreement, neatly tied her bag tightly around her waist, and took out the Son of Heaven Sword to split the seat in the cabin into several sections, "Are these driftwood enough for us to hold on to the other side of the river?"

"The bandits chose to do it at this time, which means that this place is not too far from the river bank, and there is nothing else on the boat except these, whether it is enough or not. ”
