Chapter 343: Big and Little Qiao is robbed
When he got up the next day, Xu Ding was looking at Wukong and the multicolored stone, which were not unusual, and it seemed that this stone only looked weird when there was moonlight at night.
Next, Xu Ding and ten guards went up the river to find the source of the water.
It is recorded that there is a waterfall at the source, and water flows down from the cave.
After another day of climbing, Xu Ding and the others finally found the waterfall.
It is really a white rainbow, and the snow waves are flying. The sea breeze blows constantly, and the river and the moon are still shining.
The air conditioner is green, and the afterflow is moist and green. The waterfall is like a curtain.
Everyone clapped their hands and exclaimed: "Good water, good water!" ”
Originally, this place was far under the foot of the mountain, directly facing the waves of the sea to the west.
"Little Six Scan!"
Xu Ding immediately used Xiao Liu, and after Xiao Liu scanned it, he told him: "Master, there is indeed a cave man's mansion inside the waterfall, with cold iron as a bridge and a boulder as a door, covering the passage. ”
Xu Ding instructed the people: "There is a cave in this waterfall, you are waiting outside, I will go in and take a look!" ”
After giving the order, Xu Ding jumped and walked through the waterfall to the top of the cave bridge.
The stable body looked up and saw that it was just a pile of emerald moss, white clouds and floating jade, and a piece of light and smoke. The quiet room with a virtual window, and the sliding bench board is full of flowers. The milk cave dragon ball is hanging, lingering all over the place. There are fire traces on the cliff of the pot stove, and the bottle is based on the case to see the slag. The stone bed is so cute, and the stone bowl is even more boastful.
I saw the one pole and two poles to repair the bamboo, and the plum blossom at three and five o'clock. A few trees and green pines often bring rain, like a personal home.
Walk across the iron bridge into the cave hall, only to see that the top of the hall is engraved with ten big characters of "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Sky".
Then Xu Ding explored the surroundings again, and found that there was a small hall at the back, and there was a stone door behind the hall, and the stone gate also led to a road, and at the end was a spring well, except for the sweet and delicious thirst quenching, there was nothing strange in it.
After the exploration, Xu Ding drilled out of the waterfall, looked at the sky, and everyone stayed out for another night.
The next day, we continued to climb the mountain and search upwards.
The higher you go, the heavier the air becomes, the fog is heavy, and the vegetation begins to grow low, albeit greener.
"Lord, I'm afraid I'm going to get lost if I walk like this." The visual distance is getting shorter and shorter, and if it weren't for the standing rope, the ten guards would have lost contact long ago.
Xu Ding will not lose his way because of his various abilities, but when he looks up, he can't see anything, and he doesn't know how high the mountain is, but the terrain is steeper, and after thinking about it, he also gave up climbing and went home.
The Huaguo Mountain in Journey to the West is actually not high, but the current Huaguo Mountain is so high that it is difficult to see clearly and difficult to climb, and Xu Ding can't help but have many doubts.
"Next time, when you're ready, I'll conquer you when there's time!"
……………………
Huai Shui!
Xiao Qiao left Anhui County, first from the east gate, went east, and then turned to the north.
It has passed through several counties and crossed Jiujiang County, wanting to cross the river to Xuzhou.
On this day, they boarded a cargo ship and rowed on the Huai Shui.
Da Qiao led Xiao Qiao to a girl who was also only about eight years old: "Thank you, sister, if it weren't for your boat, we wouldn't know how long it would take!" ”
The two of them traveled to many places, and the two weak women had to hurry on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to spend some time playing with Sun Ce and others who were chasing behind, and they were also tired.
Now there are boats that can carry them directly into Xuzhou, and then swim directly to Qu County in Donghai County.
There are now Donglai's people in Qu County who are recruiting displaced people and buying supplies on a large scale, so the Bu family's merchant ship happened to be going somewhere, so they took the Qiao sisters with them.
"Sister Da Qiao is polite, this is just a gesture, this time in Huaiyin, with you all the way, someone just said to talk, it won't be boring." The crescent moon of the foot trainer replied with a light smile.
"Not good! There is a ship......
The shipwrights and captains on the boat screamed bitterly, and only then did Xiao Qiao and the foot trainer and others notice that more than a dozen boats rushed out from the fork in the road downstream, and then five or six boats rushed out from the depths of the reeds upstream.
These ships surrounded the three merchant ships at once.
"Listen, the people on the boat, we only rob things and don't hurt people, don't resist, otherwise the sword and arrow have no eyes, and we won't be responsible for hurting people."
There was a larger boat on the boat, and there were threatening words from the boat.
At this time, the three merchant ships naturally understood that they had encountered water bandits, and they were robbed.
"Miss, what now?" The captain and the shipwrights couldn't hold their minds, and the guards panicked, drew their swords and arrows, and took out their bows and crossbows to stand on guard.
The step trainer didn't panic, and asked the general manager in charge of this matter, the general manager of the step family: "Do what they say, we won't have an advantage in the fight, and we won't be able to escape." ”
"But the young lady is on the boat, in case ......"
There was a faithful servant who was unwilling to surrender.
The step trainer said: "Do what Uncle Fang said, if the goods are lost, you can buy them, but you will lose some money, if everyone loses, it will not be good." ”
"Hey! Miss is benevolent and righteous, but we are incompetent! The guards sighed unwillingly.
The step trainer then said to Da Qiao: "It seems that Sister Da Qiao can't send you to Qu County. ”
The merchant ship was robbed, the goods were empty, the ship could only go back to Huaiyin, and it was okay to take the area along the water, and it was impossible for the Bujia family to send a special ship to send Xiao Qiao to Qu County.
Da Qiao, who understands this, said: "I'm sorry for you, it's good to be able to take it to Huaiyin, and the journey to Xuzhou is much closer, and my sister and I just took a break during this time." ”
While everyone was talking, the bandit boat approached.
These people also behaved, the merchant ships did not resist, they did not stretch their bows and strings, and their swords were put away.
Approaching the jumping gang and getting on the boat, the leader hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry everyone, life is compelling, we will leave after moving things, and please report your name, in the future, you will cross this water, we will only take one-tenth of the money." ”
Belch! And so it goes!
This is tantamount to paying protection money in disguise, the first time is considered filial piety, and then some toll money will be paid, and the people of the step family look at each other.
However, the housekeeper also clenched his fists and said, "It's easy to say! It's good to say, Huaiyin Bujia, you heroes should charge some hard money for guarding this water. ”
Merchants travel from south to north, in fact, this kind of thing is seen a lot, so this house manager is not surprised.
As long as this relationship is maintained, peace will be guaranteed in the future.
Officials have official ways, and bandits have bandits.
As long as you follow the rules, then there is no problem, hello everyone, I am really good.
Flexibility is the way to do business.
However, the house manager understands this truth, but Xiao Qiao and the step trainer may not understand.
Da Qiao is quiet and graceful, so naturally he won't cause trouble.
The step trainer is also very respectful of people, and if the house manager comes forward, she will not make random claims.
But Xiao Qiao was more lively, and his heart was undecided, so he took two steps and said to the leader of the bandits: "Hey! It seems that you are very well-behaved, since you have such the ability to support yourself on the water, why don't you fight those villains and bully the common people, what kind of hero! ”
The leader of the bandits was stunned, but he didn't expect to talk about a good thing, and suddenly a little girl came out and interjected.
Then he said with displeasure: "Little sister, if you talk to me like this, I'm not afraid that I will throw you into the water." ”
"Hah! Who is afraid of you, if you dare to throw me into the water, I will let Weihaihou beat you and exterminate all you water bandits. Xiao Qiao raised his head and pulled out Xu Ding's fake tiger skin to strengthen his courage.
Xu Ding is the Marquis of Weihai, the first in the world, and his reputation is famous, and others should give face to his name.
Anyway, he and his sister were going to Donglai, so it was nothing to use his name in advance.
