Outside Jiqu City

It was noon, the weather was hot, and the occasional wind blowing into the camphor forest was also mixed with dull heat, and the shadows of the trees swayed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was because of the wind blowing or the heat wave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info camphor wood insect avoidance, passers-by are better to rest here. An ox cart clattered towards the camphor woods. When they arrived at the place, several men jumped out of the car.

"Thank you, everyone!" Chen Xiu jumped out of the ox cart, threw a piece of silver, lifted the burden above his head to block the sun, turned around and plunged into the scorching sun.

About half an hour later, we arrived at a peach grove, and the lime peaches were hidden in the dense leaves. The tree is low and always touches its furry leaves from time to time. Chen Xiu lowered his head and carefully searched for the mark left by Lu Yu.

"How?"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to catch up with me. It seems that Jiqu can't enter. Chen Xiu smiled, "But who do you say this person is?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head, "Not one, there were at least three people who followed us just now." ”

"Maybe none of these three are in the same group!" Chen Xiu put the burden on his back, "Why do you say that so many people are eyeing us?" ”

Who provoked these people?

Lu Yu turned his head to look away, "We have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Let's go tonight! ”

"That's exactly what I wanted!" Chen Xiu jumped forward, "I inquired when I went out of the city, from here to the east through this forest, you can reach the edge of Taihu Lake, and when you get to the shore, you must have a boat!" ”

Lu Yu was speechless. Chen Xiu led the way, and walked about three or five miles, only out of the peach forest to see a vast water surface in front of him, this is Taishang Lake. A patch of reeds was distributed along the shore, and a small boat was parked about 100 feet from the shore, and there was a faint figure on the boat. Chen Xiu said in his heart that it was really good luck, and he waved and shouted at the boatman again and again.

Just watch the man in the boat jump into the water, the phosphorescence swaying around the man, like a fish. After a while, the man peeked out of the water, and he saw that it was a swarthy young man. The boy wiped the water from his face and said with a smile, "Why do you want to take a boat?" ”

He smiled and mouthed white teeth. Chen Xiu also said happily, "The two of us went to the lake to find a boatman, of course we had to take a boat." ”

The young man smiled, "There is a ferry in Jiqu, why don't you sit?" ”

"No one is in trouble! You can't make no money, can you! Chen Xiu also smiled, "Can Linchuan go?" ”

The boy laughed, "There's nothing I can't go to where there's water." Wait a minute, wait for me to put it on! The boy went ashore and went into the reeds, and after a while he came out in good clothes, presumably with clean clothes hidden in the reeds.

The young man reported to his home, "Shao Zi'an! ”

Chen Xiu learned from him and hugged his fist, "Chen Xiu! ”

"Lu Yu!"

Shao Zi'an glanced at the burden of the two and said secretly, and said with a smile, "When will the two of you leave?" ”

"I heard that Fifteen can't go?" Lu Yu said.

Shao Zi'an looked Chen Xiu Lu Yu up and down, and said with a smile, "How can there be a time when you can't leave?" You wait! As soon as he whistled, he saw another man come out of the boat, and the man propped up the boat and slowly approached the shore. But this person's appearance is similar to Shao Ziping's seven points, but he is a little whiter, it is Shao Zi'an's brother Shao Ziping. Shao Ziping spoke little, looked calm, and several people exchanged names and stopped talking.

Shao Zi'an carried the burden and led Chen Xiu and Lu Yu onto the boat, turned around and walked out of the cabin.

The boat had been incense for half a time, and I didn't know how far it was from the shore, but I saw Shao Zi'an come in with a smile.

Chen Xiu said, "This boat doesn't need to be supported?" ”

"It's okay. The two of you went to Linchuan, but there was something wrong? Linchuan is chaotic now! As he spoke, he smiled again, squatted down and whispered, "Shhh There are people underwater. ”

Just watch Shao Zi'an get into the rear cabin, plunge into the water from the stern of the cabin, and after a while, he will see a person rushing out of the water. It turned out to be the person who followed them on the tea horse road, and he didn't want him to follow him all the way from the Xue family here, and he didn't know how he found them.

Lu Yu was shocked, this person had been with Chen Guo for a few days and had not made a move, how to do it here. Shao Zi'an drove the man out of the water, the man was about to get on the boat, Shao Ziping smashed the wooden hammer over, the man saw that the situation was not right, so he made a cross-water treading water to the west, and it took more than ten zhang before sinking into the water.

Shao Ziping looked at Lu Yu and Chen Xiu with a cold face, "Who are you?" ”

"Alas! Who doesn't have a few enemies! Chen Xiu said with a smile. As he spoke, Lu Yu returned to the cabin, and Shao Zi'an also followed.

Chen Xiu smiled at Shao Zi'an, Nunu mouthed, "Your brother seems to be unhappy!" ”

"He's like that! Blame me for letting you get on board today. Shao Zi'an pulled out a box and took out a dry suit.

"Are you really shy away today?" Lu Yu doubted.

Shao Zi'an smiled first, "Said that the fifteen divine dragons came out to inspect, and Taihu Lake would not let people go." In fact, it's foggy in the middle of the lake, nothing serious! ”

"It's foggy too?"

"I don't know about other places, but Taihu Lake is foggy every fifteenth, in fact, it is a small piece in the middle of the lake, and it disperses at dawn. My big brother is cautious, not dangerous. It's a fart! ”

"Fifteen fogs, and only in the middle of the lake? That's weird! Have you gone in and seen it? Chen Xiuqi said.

"It's really not, the middle of the lake is so hot that you can only see it from a distance every time." Shao Zi'an rushed out with his clothes in his arms.

Shao Ziping came in from outside with a calm face, "Today, the dragon god of Taihu Lake is on patrol, and people are inviolable." ”

This Shao Ziping had a serious face, Chen Xiu almost choked to death, I don't know when I met such a chattering person last time.

"Have you ever seen a dragon god?" Chen Xiu smiled secretly.

"Naturally." Shao Ziping said with a calm face, "The tranquility of Taihu Lake depends on the Divine Dragon, and every grass and tree here is a part of the Divine Dragon. Another sneer, "The emperor of the world compares himself to the true dragon son of heaven, he has not rained a little rain, but he has enjoyed himself in life and is buried after death, and the Shinto in front of the imperial tomb is still guarded by people, horses and livestock." Poor Shenlong, guarding one side, after he died, half a brick was not lost. ”

What is this! Chen Xiu answered faintly, "It can be seen that the fake is more attractive than the real one." ”

Shao Ziping said with a cold face, "He promised you first." Our brothers will do what they say, and I will not drive you down, but at night, the boat must be stopped and the lights must be turned off, and the peace of the dragon must not be disturbed. ”

Shao Zi'an changed his clothes, and only then came out to listen to Shao Ziping's words, his head had a headache, "My brother, alas! I remember the kindness of the dragon! Stop it! Let's go out and talk! As he spoke, he pushed Shao Ziping out, and when he arrived at the warehouse, he turned to look at Chen Xiu, "You guys don't care about him!" ”

Chen Xiumu sent the two out of the warehouse, and then looked at Lu Yu, "Do you think these two people look like fishermen?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled, "It's not." Not only is it not like it, but it is by no means simple. ”

――

Yanzi chased and proposed to go to Qu's house, but he didn't hope for it, but within two days, Hu Mao'er agreed. This Hu Mao is strong in kung fu with a tiger face, and he is not afraid of the swallow chasing tricks to escape. The swallow chased and delayed, saying that he was thirsty and hungry, and then he said that it was hot and people were tired. Hu Mao'er doesn't find fault with it, and I don't know what they are looking for to withstand this heart. On this day, I was resting in Pansnake Ridge, but I saw a caravan coming up, there were porcelain merchants, tea merchants, and more than 100 people selling jujube and cloth sellers. One of them saw someone running over on the ridge, "Alas! A few uncles gave a witness. ”

A jujube seller in the back hurriedly tied the donkey cart to the tree and also ran over, "A few uncles, this man said a lot, saying that he could pick up two hundred catties of grain, I don't believe you see that he is still fighting with me!" Ignore him, ignore him. The men in the caravan looked over and sat down laughing, as if they were all annoyed by these two.

Hu Mao'er looked at the two of them with a smile, the one who sold jujube was short and fat, and the other was tall and thin. The tall thin man smiled and said, "A few masters, you can give me a witness, I picked up two hundred catties of grain, and he has to give me this cart of dates." ”

"Alas! When did I say I gave it to you! "The jujube seller is in a hurry," a few masters, you can't listen to him. It doesn't count, it doesn't count. ”

Hu Mao'er smiled, "What's so strange about being able to hold up two hundred catties?" A farmer can usually pick it up, too. ”

The tall thin man said, "I'm sitting on the ground and picking it up!" You can try. ”

"Sit on the ground and pick it up?" Swallow asked. Sitting on the ground is not easy to use, even if it has the power to lift the top.

Hu Mao'er stared at the swallow and smiled, "Are you still interested in this?" Okay, I bet. The jujube seller, you bet with him, and I will pay for the jujubes. After talking and laughing, he beckoned a tiger-faced man, "There is no food to be found in this place." You pick him up. All right? ”

This tiger-faced man has twenty or thirty catties of the heavy sword alone, and it is not more than two hundred catties together, the tall and thin man looked up and down, thinking about the car jujube, he was ruthless, and said, "Okay, it's him." ”

The jujube seller has nothing to say, and he won't lose money anyway. Swallow laughed and said, "Don't be busy, what's your bet?" ”

"Since you want to bet on me, I will accompany you! I bet he can't hold it. Hu Mao'er smiled, took out the money bag, and there were ten gold, "What do you take?" "The tall and thin man swears that he is eighty percent sure, but if he loses, it doesn't depend on whether he has the ability.

"If the tiger-faced man uses a jack pendant, this thin man can't push even if he stands."

"If he uses it, I lose."

Swallow laughed, "If I lose, this way is up to you." ”

Let Hu Mao'er deal with it, but he just hurried to Qu's house. The group of merchants heard something else, looked at each other and laughed, and one shouted, "Girl! You can't say anything to anyone! ”

Only then did Yan Zichai understand what those people were laughing at, and he couldn't cry or laugh. But seeing Hu Mao'er watching the swallow chase and holding back a smile, he said, "Okay! Just bet on this. ”

The tall and thin man sat cross-legged, and the tiger-faced man stood straight with his sword in his hands. Hu Mao'er stared at the thin man and smiled secretly, and the swallow chased after him and touched two stones in his eyes without making a sound. Everyone's eyes were also focused on the tall and thin man and the tiger-faced man. Just look at the thin man holding up with both hands, the green tendons on his legs with force on his waist, and he was about to stand up as soon as he gritted his teeth.

The swallow chased after himself on guard, and the two stones flew away, and the hidden weapon was deflected. Hearing the thin man burst into tears, he stood up, and the bang in the caravan was probably the broken porcelain. The porcelain merchant was shocked to see his goods, and two fine porcelain pieces were broken in the car.

Everyone applauded, the porcelain merchant was a black and thin man, and stepped forward in three or two steps, "You guys are gambling, my flower porcelain can be broken!" ”

In the end, the merchants were all the way, lest Hu Mao'er escape, so they got up and surrounded them. The tall and thin man was afraid that Hu Mao'er would regret it and came up to ask for money, and the jujube seller was afraid that he would lose the jujube in vain and also came up to ask for money.

It's just right that the tiger-faced man is surrounded by everyone, and it's a good time to escape.

"The girl knows what I can do! Don't hurt others! Hu Mao'er shouted. His voice was cold, and it was indeed a smile.

How could Yan Zichai forget the guards in the dungeon, the cold in his heart returned here, and then changed to a smiling face, "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one, this Hu Ye is not a person who depends on the account!" ”

Hu Mao'er didn't say anything, and paid one by one. When he arrived at the porcelain merchant, Yanzi chased after him, "I broke your porcelain." He took the ten gold lost by Hu Mao'er to the porcelain merchant, and crooked his neck to whisper a few words to the porcelain merchant.

Hu Mao'er was suspicious and stopped the porcelain merchant, "What did she say?" ”

The porcelain merchant looked at Hu Mao'er and snorted coldly, "She said that you are so gambling, my porcelain is rotten, you have to make a fortune!" With a wave of his hand, he said to everyone, "Let's go!" ”
