The sky finally brightened, and the sky was still thick with dark clouds, but in the daytime, the eye could finally see what was within fifty paces.

The fishermen were busy, lighting fires, cooking rice, and within a radius of dozens of steps, they became full of people and busy. There were about 50 people in this group, about a dozen strong men, and most of the rest were women and children.

It is also fortunate that the fishermen are extremely sensitive to the lake tide and retreat in time, so the loss is not large, and most of the nearby villages that mainly grow rice have suffered, not to mention the loss of property for the time being, and people have been swept away a lot by the flood.

At this time, Yang Lian saw the patriarch. The Zhang clan is about sixty years old, and his body is quite strong, and when the tide is high, he was rescued by several young people, and there is no major problem. Hearing that Yang Lian woke up, he trembled and came to see him.

In troubled times, the martial arts are in charge. However, the culture of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue is prosperous, and it is second to none among all countries. Although the fishermen are located in the territory of Wuyue Kingdom, it is the junction of Suzhou and Changzhou, and is deeply influenced by the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In the early years, Southern Wu and Wu Yueguo competed for hegemony in Changzhou and Suzhou, and Suzhou changed hands several times before finally falling into the hands of Wu Yueguo. The Southern Tang Dynasty replaced the Southern Wu and once marched into Suzhou, intending to seize the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but since the Central Wu Jiedu made Qian Yuanhui guard Suzhou, Suzhou was firmly controlled by Wu Yue.

The Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue knew that no one could destroy anyone, so they died down, and on the whole it was quite calm. However, in the past year, Chen Jue of the Southern Tang State mobilized troops against the Fujian State, which made the relationship between Wu Yue State and the Southern Tang State suddenly tense.

If the Min State was destroyed, Wu Yue Kingdom would be surrounded by the Southern Tang Dynasty, so Wu Yue State sent a naval army to support the Min State. Suzhou and Changzhou are the borders of the two countries, so there are also additional troops in the two places, and a big war is coming. But who knows that a heavy flood and a torrential rain have displaced the people in Su and Chang?

Now that the lake is rising higher and higher, who knows where it will go? If we don't move out in time, I'm afraid we will suffer again. The people of the fishing village plan to go to Suzhou, after all, they are from Wu Yueguo. When the patriarch asked like this, Yang Lian couldn't find a way out for a while, so he agreed with the patriarch's opinion, followed them, and went to Suzhou first to make plans. At the same time, Yang Lian also wanted to see, who the mysterious old slave had arranged for himself?

The bonfire was set up, the iron pot was set up on the wooden rack, and soon, the rice porridge was fragrant, and the fishermen drank the rice porridge, so they began to pack their luggage, clay pots, clothes, rice grain, fishing nets and other things were packed and placed on the trolley, and took advantage of the heavy rain to move to a higher place in the future.

Yang Lian and Zhang Qili's family of five walked, Zhang Qili's eldest brother Zhang Qinian was the same age as Yang Lian, with a dark complexion, and a very good set of fishing, although he was greedy for money, he was very trustworthy, and he saved Yang Lian who fell off the horse.

Zhang Qinian does not have many families, his mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her youngest son, Ergouzi, and his father also died of illness last year. He himself married a daughter-in-law, and the child was three years old.

Yang Lian is still a little unsteady when he walks, and he can't ride a horse, Zhang Qinian let the two dogs help, although the two dogs are unwilling, but the eldest brother is like a father, how can he not obey his father's orders, so he has to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and help Yang Lian walk. Zhang Qinian pushed the heavy cart, his wife held the child, Zhang Qili carried the sundries, and followed the fishermen towards the east, first crossing the raging river, and then turning to the south to go to Gusu City.

It's another day of busyness, after a day, Yang Lian felt that his legs were weak, Zhang Qili was empathetic, boiled hot water, and let Yang Lian soak his feet, which was much more comfortable. The fishermen ate and went to bed early, and Yang Lian lay on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

His body is too weak, he needs to exercise, otherwise how can he survive in troubled times? Thinking about it, and having an idea in his heart, the man is also extremely sleepy and sleepy.

"Hah!" Early in the morning, Zhang Qili heard someone humming outside the tent, and she didn't pay attention to him, thinking that the bastard of the second dog was doing evil again, this stubborn man was full of spirit!

After boiling the water and serving it in a wooden basin, Zhang Qili brought it to Yang Lian to wash, but found that Yang Lian was not in the tent, early in the morning, where did he go? Zhang Qili put down the wooden basin and shouted, "Brother Yang, Brother Yang." ”

"I'm here!" In the distance, Yang Lian's voice was heard.

Zhang Qili followed the sound, but found that Yang Lian was doing strange movements, bending over, leaning back, dangling, humming a few times from time to time, it turned out that the sound of humming haha was made by him.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing here?" Zhang Qili asked strangely, he had never seen Brother Yang like this.

"Five fowl plays." Yang Lian replied while practicing, it was almost done at this time.

"My body is not well, I don't have a good rest, what are you messing about?" Zhang Qiqi was disgusted. She knows the five poultry plays, but how can Yang Lian practice?

Yang Lian closed his posture, explained with a smile, and said: "These five bird plays, but they were created by Hua Tuo, which can strengthen the body and control the clouds. But he forgot that Zhang Qili is a descendant of a doctor, so he naturally knows the five bird plays. Yang Lian in his previous life, he often practiced five bird plays, although the body in this life is not very bad, but Yang Lian is not satisfied, he has great ambitions, but in this troubled era, to have a healthy body, if he can restore his strength before the crossing, he should have something to do.

"Is it so powerful?" Zhang Qili was stunned for a moment, she believed in strengthening her body, soaring through the clouds? Isn't that an immortal, this idiot, and began to talk nonsense again.

"I'll teach you another day." Yang Lian smiled, took the handkerchief handed over by Zhang Qili, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Qili took the handkerchief, stood on tiptoe, and slowly paced back, feeling strange in his heart, he seemed to have changed a lot, but he couldn't think of what had changed for a while.

Yang Lian finished practicing a set of five bird plays, and his body was warm, and suddenly, he found that a warm current rose from his lower abdomen, reaching his chest. His heart, which had been wet, seemed to have dried up, and became comfortable, which he had never experienced before. He couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that his body had changed? With a special feature?

At this time, the fishermen all got up, and after breakfast, they were about to go south. Zhang Qiqi brought rice porridge, and Yang Lian sprinkled a little coarse salt under the light rain, and ate a bowl with the bottom facing the sky. Zhang Qili packed up his things, and the group was about to set off.

Suddenly, the ground shook, first slightly, and soon the crockpot also began to shake, more and more intense, and the fishermen were surprised, what was wrong?

Soon someone came running in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, the Taihu Lake thieves are coming!" ”

Taihu Lake water thieves are entrenched in Taihu Lake Turtle Mountain, and there are more than 100 people. This group of Taihu Lake water thieves often robbed their homes and houses, and did many evils, and the government encircled and suppressed them several times, and the water thieves relied on their geographical familiarity to deal with the government and the government in the reeds, and after several times, the government suffered a lot of losses. Secretly, the people said that this group of Taihu Lake thieves were pretended to be from the Southern Tang Dynasty, but no one knew the truth.

At this time, the Taihu Lake water thieves suddenly came out, and the fishermen were all frightened, but in the troubled times, the men had long been iron nerves and were not afraid at all. More than a dozen men immediately shouted loudly, picked up harpoons and hoes, and wanted to fight the Taihu Lake water thieves.

Yang Lian wondered in his heart, the time when the Taihu Lake water thief appeared was too strange, could it be that someone was manipulating all this?

Dozens of able-bodied fishermen greeted them, and women and children, old and young, discarded their belongings and hid in the forest. Zhang Qili pulled Yang Lian and said, "Brother Yang, hide quickly!" ”

Yang Lian was in good health, knowing that he couldn't help if he went, so he walked towards the dense forest with Zhang Qili, Ergouzi and other fishermen. Yang Lian took a few steps, and there was a sudden thunder in the sky, which exploded as if the heavens and the earth were about to crack, his ears hurt faintly, and his brain seemed to be hammered with a heavy hammer. Immediately, torrential rain poured over the sky, and a group of people screamed and hid in the dense forest.

At this time, outside the dense forest, the Taihu Lake water thieves had already rushed in, and in front of them were several war horses, and the impact was extremely strong. After a few slashes, the two fishermen fell to the ground, blood mixed with rain, staining the ground red.

"Kill!" The Taihu Lake water thief shouted loudly, the voice was not loud in the rain, but there was a strong killing intent.

The fishermen raised their hoes and harpoons to meet the battle, but after all, they were no match for the well-armed Taihu Lake water thieves, and several people were killed.

This battle did not last long, only half an hour, and more than 50 Taihu Lake water thieves were like killing gods, killing the fishermen's souls and scattering. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Lian grabbed Zhang Qili's little hand and walked through the dense forest. At this time, the fishermen scattered and fled, although there were many water thieves in Taihu Lake, they finally gave Yang Lian a chance to escape.

I don't know how long I ran, but when I stopped next to a tree with a crooked neck, Yang Lian was out of breath. His hand was still holding Zhang Qili's hand, and the girl's hand was pinched red.

Busy running for their lives, the two of them were separated from the fishermen, and I don't know, how many people survived this massacre? Is this a troubled time? Yang Lian couldn't help clenching his fists, wanting to live and control his own destiny, he had to continue to grow his strength.

Zhang Qili was a girl after all, and she cried. Yang Lian had to comfort her, letting her lean on her shoulder, venting the sadness in her heart.

"Qiqi, don't worry. Big brother, they must be fine. Yang Lian said.

Zhang Qili cried for a while, her mood was relieved, and she believed in Yang Lian and nodded when she heard this.

Yang Lian took her hand and said, "Go!" ”

Fleeing all the way, everything was almost discarded, Yang Lian still had more than a dozen copper coins on his body, Zhang Qili was penniless, and the biggest task of the two at this time was to survive. After walking half a mile, Yang Yu's ears suddenly moved, and he pulled Zhang Qiqi to hide behind the woods, lying in the deep grass, not moving.

Now his ears are extremely sensitive, and when he hears the sound of horses' hooves behind him, he is very vigilant, and he feels that it is very likely to be a Taihu Lake water thief, so he must hide first.

Soon, more than a dozen war horses came slowly, Yang Lian stared carefully, and suddenly Zhang Qili's body trembled beside him, he looked back and saw Zhang Qili's mouth wide open, with anger in his eyes, and tears were turning in circles in his clear eyes.

Yang Lian suddenly realized something, he suddenly covered Zhang Qili's mouth and held it down. Zhang Qili is a woman after all, and she can't resist for a while. When Yang Lian looked back, he saw several familiar heads hanging on the tail of a tall war horse. There was still blood on his skull, his eyes were wide open, and he looked dead.

Zhang Qili wanted to rush up several times, Yang Lian held her down hard, until the dozen or so cavalry disappeared from sight, Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax his palm, and waited for half a sound before he let go of his hand, and the whole person almost collapsed on the ground.
