The two of them talked all the way, and they were not bored, Meng Hui didn't have any severance at all, as long as Zhao Jiu asked something, there must be an answer, and Zhao Jiu admired Meng Hui more and more in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info walked like this for two days, the expenses for food and accommodation were all Meng Hui's purse, Zhao Jiu didn't want to go, he had to give some money to Meng Hui, Meng Hui refused to ask for it, and only said that he would have the opportunity to repay him in the future, and Zhao Jiu insisted on it a few times and gave up.

In the evening of this day, the two of them hurried to the ferry port of Guanxi Town, a passenger boat had just left, and no matter how much they shouted, they didn't come back. The sky was getting dark, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but get anxious, Meng Hui packed a bag of cigarettes, took two puffs and said: "Don't be afraid, there are still small boats when the big boat is gone, as long as there is still light in the sky, there will be boats on this river." ”

After a while, there was a sound of swaying oars on the river, Zhao Jiu stretched his neck to look out, and there was indeed a half-sized boat in front of him, Meng Hui beckoned and shouted: "Boat boss, take a ride-"

A stout man at the bow of the boat looked at the shore and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Jingyang City, worship the Dragon King!"

The man nodded, asked the boat to come up, and said, "It's dark, the price is expensive, can the guests stand it?" ”

"It's easy to talk about the wine money, my brother has never been on a boat, and he bothers the boat boss to build a board-"

A board like a ladder was put down on the boat, Meng Hui walked up first, and halfway through it, he turned around and shouted to Zhao Jiu: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up, you will have to sleep by the river if it is too late!" ”

Zhao Jiu hurriedly followed, and as soon as his hind feet landed on the boat, the board was put away, and then the boat swayed away again. He didn't walk on the boat, he only felt dizzy and unsteady under his feet, and he was about to fall, and suddenly someone helped him on his arm, Zhao Jiu raised his head, it turned out to be Meng Hui.

"It's the first time I've been on a boat, and I'll be fine in a while!" Meng Hui helped Zhao Jiu to walk to the cabin, pointed to a black table and chair, and said, "Sit down, I'll go get something to eat." As soon as the rice on the boat was cooked, Meng Hui found the strong man who had spoken before, the two didn't know what they said, the strong man looked at Zhao Jiu and nodded, and after a while, someone brought two bowls of rice, with a few green vegetables and two pieces of tofu on it, Meng Hui took it and said: "There is only this kind of coarse rice on the boat, let's eat it!" ”

Zhao Jiu looked around and saw that there were a few people holding bowls and eating the same as him, presumably it was Brother Meng who made the benefit and asked for it from the boat. Over there, Meng Hui had already eaten a lot, and Zhao Jiu thanked Meng Hui and picked it up.

Meng Hui took two bites, glanced at Zhao Jiu slightly, and saw that Zhao Jiu had already eaten more than half of a bowl of rice, and he said again: "Eat slowly, beware of choking, I'll go get some water." Meng Hui put down the bowl and went outside to get a pot of tea, but it was still hot. He poured a bowl for Zhao Jiu and said, "Come, drink some tea!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Meng!" Zhao Jiu took a few sips of the tea bowl and felt that his internal organs were extremely comfortable. He took a few sips of the bowl to the bottom, drank two more bowls of tea, and gradually became sleepy. The dim hanging lamp in the cabin became blurred, Zhao Jiu rubbed his eyes, and fell asleep on the table.

"Zhao Jiu? Zhao Jiu? Meng Hui called Zhao Jiu a few times, but Zhao Jiu did not respond. Then Meng Hui stretched out his hand and pushed Zhao Jiu, Zhao Jiu slipped and fell to the ground like a leper dog along the table, and Meng Hui shouted loudly: "Zhao Jiu! Zhao Jiu! ”

Zhao Jiu remained unmoved.

The man who came in from outside the cabin was the boss of the ship. He kicked Zhao Jiu twice, and smiled with Meng Hui: "Good boy, if it weren't for that pot of tea, it wouldn't have been poured!" ”

"I'm also strange, he hasn't had any martial arts in the past few days, but it's strange that ordinary people can still drink three bowls of tea even after pouring half a bowl of rice!"

"It can't be stubble from somewhere, right?"

"Don't worry, he's just a fledgling who has never seen the world, and when he reaches the ground of Sanjiang, he can't fly out even if he has wings!"

"That's right! That, yours! The boat boss threw a money bag to Meng Hui, and Meng Hui took it in his hand, not lightly. He smiled slightly, took another money bag from his body and threw it to the boss of the boat, and said, "Yours, wine money!" ”

The boat boss shook it and said with a smile: "Righteous enough!" ”

The two searched Zhao Jiu from head to toe, and they didn't even let go of the crappy purse of the lotus, and the property was divided fifty-fifty, and Zhao Jiu didn't know about it. The boss of the boat asked Zhao Jiu to be lifted off the cabin, and Meng Hui also got off the boat halfway. In the middle of the night, the river was dark, and the cabin was full of drinking and boxing, and there was not even a single light under the cabin. A mouse followed the breath and slipped to Zhao Jiu's head, stretched out his tongue and licked Zhao Jiu's mouth, and fell crookedly a few times on the side of Zhao Jiu's head, scratched his paws a few times, and stopped moving.

This sleep was so long, Zhao Jiu opened his eyes vaguely, it was pitch black in front of him, he thought it was still night, so he habitually raised his hand to touch his chest, not wanting his arm to be stiff like wood, Zhao Jiu was shocked. He wanted to sit up, but found that his body did not obey the call, he suppressed the panic in his heart, took a few big breaths, and slowly moved himself up. Fortunately, he just lay down for too long and his body was numb, and he didn't lack arms or legs, Zhao Jiu rubbed his waist and legs, and slowly stood up. He couldn't see his surroundings clearly, only that he felt that the soles of his feet were still dangling, and he must still be on the boat. He touched his body again, and found that all he had left was the clothes on his body, the ones given to him by Elder Tie, the lotus flowers to him—all gone!

Oh, my God!

Zhao Jiu sat down, his mind blank - he threw away the lotus! He threw away the lotus!

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Jiu raised his head in a daze, groped around and leaned himself against the cabin, buried his head and whimpered. Low, like a north wind through a broken house.

It was impossible to tell whether it was dark or dawn under the cabin, and after a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhao Jiu hurriedly straightened himself up. After the sound of Ding Ding Bang unlocking, the door was pushed open, and a person walked in with a gas death lamp, glanced at Zhao Jiu and said, "Yo, you're awake!" The man turned back and shouted outside, "Wake up, get a bowl of rice!" Another thin monkey-like man brought down the cold rice, put it on Zhao Jiu, and muttered and scolded: "It's good for you, you slept for two days, and we who work hard still have to serve you-"

"What are you nagging about!" The man with the lantern scolded the thin monkey and then turned to Zhao Jiu and said, "Hurry up and eat, go and work after eating!" ”

Although the circumstances are unknown, the food still has to be eaten, otherwise there is no chance to escape. Zhao Jiu is not stupid, he secretly calculates in his heart, there is no work to do in this bilge, so if you want to work, you will naturally have to go up, as long as you can go up, you will have a chance. Zhao Jiu heard the sound of beating and scolding coming from the room next to him, and it seemed that there were other people in the cabin. The man with the lantern lectured Zhao Jiu a few words and went out of the door to the cabin next to him, Zhao Jiu stood on tiptoe and walked a few steps towards the door, and suddenly heard another scolding outside, he hurriedly went back to the same place and picked up the bowl and pretended to be choppy, the man scolded and came back and looked at Zhao Jiu, and said again: "Even if you are smart, the trouble will not end well!" Get up and come out with me! ”

Zhao Jiu hurriedly got up and asked, "Dare to ask what the eldest brother wants to call him?" ”

"You don't have to be close to me, you can do whatever you want, don't think that Wu Mansion won't dare to beat you if you want it, hum!"
