Chapter 2 The Great River Flows
Xu Diaoling considered that this boatman might be a master who lived in seclusion, and did not intend to offend him, but he did not expect that this person was actually Lu Boding's comrade, and he was waiting for his arrival here. When the boatman punched a large hole in the boat and jumped overboard, everyone on board panicked.
These bounty hunters were originally Anyun people, most of them didn't know the nature of water, and they were already a little uncomfortable taking a boat in the river, and now they were thrown in the middle of the river, and they were about to fall into the water, of course, they couldn't calm down. Xu Diaoling has led the bounty hunters for many years, but he has never been to Jiangnan, and he is a little overwhelmed when he encounters this situation.
"You plug the gaps with your clothes, and then you use your hats to scoop the water out. My dad and I learned how to ferry, and we should be able to get to the other side as long as nothing else. Seeing this, Wendi frowned, and immediately walked to the bow of the boat, held the oars, and said to everyone.
The bounty hunters went to plug the gap, then took off their hats and pocketed the water they had poured in. Some people did not wear hats, so they held water in their hands, and it was not lively for a while.
At this time, there was only a shadow floating under the water, and it was clear that some people were trying to approach the boat.
"Beware of the water ghosts!" Seeing this, Wendi reminded everyone.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and I saw a few steel forks shoot out from the bottom of the water, and several bounty hunters were hit in the body without being caught off-guard. There were a few plops and several people fell into the water, and the river was red for a while.
A steel fork shot at Wendi, who immediately drew his sword to resist, stuck to the flying fork with his sword and shot back. I saw a bunch of bubbles coming out of the steel fork everywhere, and then blood red gushed out, obviously this person had been killed by Wendi.
As Wendy drew his sword to resist, the ship capsized for a moment. When the boat stabilized, the bounty hunters resisted the discomfort of vomiting and fired their weapons into the water to fight back.
Several water ghosts climbed to the bottom of the boat and chiseled the boat with the tools in their hands. Wendy handed the sculls to the man next to him, and then stabbed his sword in one place with a sound, only to hear a muffled grunt, and then there was no sound. Wendy's sword was extremely sharp, leaving only a small gap in the ship. Wendi killed several water ghosts in succession, and the sailboat was finally not scuttled by the water ghosts.
At this time, the north wind was strong, the sails were blown up, and the speed of the sailing ship to the west was noticeably faster. The people rejoiced and hurried to get the water out of the boat.
At this time, several sailing ships appeared around and tried to surround everyone, and a sailboat in front of them blocked the way, and they were about to intercept everyone.
"Even if you have some ability, you can still resist one or two. But you don't want to flee to the shore, and this thousand miles of river is where you are buried. The boatman who plotted against everyone shouted from the boat.
Wen Di knew that although the martial arts of these bounty hunters were not necessarily worse than those of the water thieves, they would definitely suffer a great loss if they fought here because they did not know the nature of water. If the water thieves are dragged until the ship sinks, I am afraid that everyone will have only one way to die.
"Xu Diaoling, when you arrive in Jiangnan, you must inquire about my father's news, and I will ask you carefully next time we meet." Wendy said.
"Miss Wendi, there are many people on the other side, so it's better to think about it in the long run. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to Senior Liu. Xu Diaoling said.
"It's too late! Take the helm and don't crash into that ship. ”
Wendy said as he threw a bamboo pole out of the boat, and then jumped onto the enemy ship with a few taps on the bamboo pole. This light work makes the end look good.
The water thieves were a little surprised when they saw Wendy jumping onto the boat from a long distance, but immediately brandished their weapons and killed Wendi. Wen first slashed the mast with his first sword, then jumped onto the bow of the ship and killed the helmsman. The enemy ship lost its balance for a moment, and swirled with the river. The water thieves tried to reclaim the rudder, but where was Wendy's opponent. The bounty hunter's boat avoided the enemy ships and finally washed ashore.
"The little girl, a girl, has this kung fu and courage, which is really admirable. But even though you saved those people, you can't escape now. The previous shipwright said to Wendy when he saw the bounty hunter escape.
"Just because you want to stop me? This girl can leave if she wants, and stay if she wants, I don't care about you people. Wen Di said nonchalantly.
"With the girl's martial arts, she is indeed not an opponent on land. But even if I am a top master on this river, I can fight. If you surrender, I can spare your life, otherwise it will not be fun to feed the fish in the river. "The boatman was a little complacent.
"Who can't talk big, and if you have the ability, you can see the truth under your hands." Wen raised his sword and stopped talking nonsense and killed the water thieves.
The boatman gave the order, and the water thieves avoided Wendi and jumped into the water. Seeing this, Wendi killed the boatman directly. The boatman held a steel fork and beckoned Wendy.
During the battle, the ships swayed, and the boatmen remained untouched; Wendi's light work is excellent, and the light pace naturally has little impact. It's just that from time to time, a steel fork will fly out of the water, and although Wendi dodges it all, it is still annoying.
The boatman sank with one foot, and the ship capsized. Wendy jumped up and struck the boatman with a sword. The boatman parried with a fork and flipped the ship again when Wendy landed, intending to attack with a fork when Wendy was out of balance.
Where would Wendy be defeated by this trick, when the boatman stabbed with a fork, the horizontal sword cut off the steel fork, and another sword stabbed the boatman. The boatman was in pain, and when he didn't fight with Wendi, he immediately turned over and jumped into the water to escape.
Wendi chased after him and stood on the bow of the boat to look down, only to see two steel forks flying out of the water. Wendy leaps backwards, easily dodging two steel forks. Wendi landed in the middle of the ship, and when he felt a vibration under his feet, he immediately jumped away. Just as Wendi jumped away, a steel fork stabbed the bottom of the ship. The first steel fork was followed by several more steel forks piercing the bottom of the ship. Wendi dodged the unlost hair one after another, but the water leaked so badly in the boat that it was about to sink to the bottom of the river.
The surrounding ships surrounded the incident and kept shooting arrows in an attempt to injure Wendy. The boatman who had fallen into the water earlier also raised his head and shouted to Wendy: "I have never been afraid of anyone in the water, I can't beat you on the boat, but when you are in the water, I see that you can still turn the sky." I won't kill you, but I'll torture you to live better than die, and that's the price of hurting me. ”
"Long-winded, what else are you going to do besides showing your tongue!"
As he spoke, Wendy pointed a steel fork at the boatman, who immediately ducked into the water and ducked.
Wen first sword slashed the mast into several broken logs, and then threw the broken logs towards the nearest boat. When the ship was about to sink, Wendy was about to jump to the nearest ship with a few broken pieces of wood as a fulcrum.
Just now, these water thieves already knew that Wen Di's light skills were excellent, and when Wen Di jumped up, they shot arrows to stop Wen Di. The water ghost at the bottom also stabbed a steel fork to prevent Wendi from approaching.
Wendi's sword was so webed that her bow and arrow could not reach her at all; Wendi's light skills are excellent, and the steel fork pierced from the bottom of the water is difficult to hurt her. Just as Wendi approached the ship, several water thieves threw steel forks and shot at Wendi.
Seeing this, Wen Di quickly stepped on the wood and jumped to the side, stepped on the head of a water ghost who was also ventilating, and stepped on a log that was washed away, and jumped directly into another boat.
The ship's water thieves didn't expect Wendy to jump here suddenly, so they had to take up arms and kill Wendy. With a sharp swing of his sword, Wendi picked out several water thieves into the water. The leader of the ship faced Wendy with a hammer in both hands.
Wendi could have easily dodged, but he didn't want this person to smash the ship as well, so he deflected the steel hammer by dialing a thousand catties in four or two. The hammer only smashed the side of the ship next to it, but failed to penetrate the bottom of the ship. Wendi didn't give the man a chance to strike a second blow, and the sword was like a snake, leaving a wound on each of the man's wrists. The man threw away the sledgehammer in pain, screamed and took a few steps back, but was immediately speechless. Because Wen's first sword sealed his throat, it ended in this person's life.
Wendy drove all the people off the boat. Since the boat drifted with the current, it is now drifting to a place where the current is fast, and the water spirits cannot swim over. The other ships were afraid of Wendi's light skills and did not dare to approach, but only shot with bows and arrows, so naturally Wendi could not be injured.
Wendy swung his oars and sailed to the south shore after a short time, only to see the thieves retreating.
"Didn't a group of thieves who only know what they say say that they want to catch me and torture me, why did they run away now? If you have the guts, you will chase after you? Wendy sneered, and whistled to summon the red horse. I heard a horse chirping in the distance, and then the red horse galloped in.
"Xiaohong, you're here, it seems that those bounty hunters are safe too. We ignore these cowardly water thieves, and we go to Jiangnan to find Dad. Wendi stroked the red horse and said softly.
Wen Di did not stop at the moment, and rode a red horse towards Fuwu City, the capital of Jiangnan.
It was getting dark, and Wendi was walking alone on the Jiangnan path. Wendi didn't rush to the road, but walked slowly with the reins. The climate in Jiangnan is warmer, and although it is autumn, it is not chilly at all, so Wendi is not worried about missing the camping spots. It's just that Wen Di's mind is a little hesitant now.
This place is not far from Fuwu City, and it can be reached in two days at most. Before, Wen Di wanted to meet Liu Hexin soon so that he could talk to him; But now Wen Di doesn't know how to talk to Liu Hexin.
Let Liu Hexin find justice for himself and find Wei Zeng to settle accounts, which seems to be a little bad; cried to Liu Hexin and then comforted his father, he was so old and a little awkward; I just didn't say anything and was with my father, but I couldn't say anything in my heart, how uncomfortable it was.
Wendy's thoughts were a little tangled, and finally he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Wei Zeng, you hurt me, you said you wanted me to be happy, but how can I be happy now? I just want to cry now. Wei Zeng was all harmed by you. ”
"Did the little girl already know that death was coming today, so she couldn't help crying. Why bother in the first place when you knew today? You have killed so many of our brothers, and even weeping will not spare you. ”
I saw that the previous group of water thieves actually let them chase after them, and the first one was the previous boatman.
"Damn it!" Wendi wiped away his tears and scolded, then looked around, only to see that these people were obviously much more powerful. The water thieves had apparently summoned some of their masters to hunt down Wendi.
"I found a helper, do you think I'm going to be scared of you? Come along, I don't have time for you. "Wendy drew his sword and was about to fight the water thieves.
At this time, a person in front of him came over and shouted loudly: "It's shameless, a group of big men actually besieged a little girl." Qi can't get used to it, so he has to take care of it today. ”
"Where did the nosy kid come from, let me solve him first." The boatman waved his fork and ordered the crowd to besiege him.
I saw that this person had a lot of shuttle darts pinned to his waist, and when he saw the water thieves coming, he hurriedly walked forward, and threw the shuttle darts at the same time. One step and one dart, ten steps and ten lives. Everywhere the shuttle dart passed, the group of thieves had no way to hide, and there was no way to avoid it. In an instant, only Wendi and this person stood on the country road.
"Good kung fu!" Wen Di raised his eyebrows, put his sword back into the sheath and said.
The man turned around, and by the light of the setting sun, he saw a young man with a jade-like face standing in front of him.
