Lu Jinping lowered his voice and said to Ye Qingqing: "Do you remember the woman who took me away last time in Tongzhou?" It was Wang Bagui's wife, Lu Niang, the one who sang mountain songs on the river that day. ”

Ye Qingqing was taken aback and said, "She, is she still in the same state?" Why did you go to see him, he was arresting you at the time. ”

"Don't worry, she has already said that she will not accept anyone's commission to arrest me again, and if she wanted to arrest me, you were so far away from me and he was alone on the river last time, and you would have taken me away long ago, so why wait until now? She is very water-like, like a fish in the water, and she will never be fine with her. ”

Ye Qingqing said: "She has excellent water quality, of course I can rest assured, I will not go with you in water will only increase your burden." Sir, you have to take care of yourself. Don't take any chances! ”

In fact, the reason why Lu Jinping dared to take risks was that he still had a hole card in his hand, that is, the snow sculpture left by Xiaoxiao for him was like the wind. Last time he had already tested, after blowing the bagpipes, a tea time snow sculpture will land on top of his head to save him, so even if he encounters danger, there is a snow sculpture, there should be no big problem, besides, Yunzi's martial arts are very good, and he has hypnotism and Nirvana hand to escort him, presumably there will be no problem, besides, if everything is foolproof, then the adventure will not be fun.

So Lu Jinping patted him on the shoulder lovingly and said, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, please ask her to just protect our safety, and I'm taking Yunzi with me, if I really have something to do with her, I won't let her be with Yunzi and us." ”

Ye Qingqing also lowered his voice and said: "This Yunzi is from the Western Regions Tubo Kingdom, after receiving the princess, he will definitely send the princess back to their Tubo, you must not be tempted by her, otherwise, the sky will be separated." If we don't have a day to meet, it will only increase our troubles, and it is impossible for her to stay in our Datang. ”

Lu Jinping smiled, his laughter was a little reluctant, in fact, it would be a lie to say that he was not interested in Yunzi. However, it has not yet reached the point of worrying about this matter.

Yunzi was on Lu Jinping's house on horseback, and at that moment, Lu Jinping also got on the horse, and the two rode their horses and galloped towards the Tongzhou River.

Although it is almost evening at this moment, the sun should not have set according to the hour, but the dark clouds are overwhelming, where can you still see the slightest bit of sunshine.

Everyone in the city knew that the storm was very violent, so the shops closed their doors early. Even the sake shop was dismantled and brought into the house, and the street became deserted and there were not many people.

The two rode past a tailor shop, Lu Jinping's heart moved, remembering that when they were on the island, the life jackets that used to be made of wood were still very effective, and wood would not be easy to find for a while now, but they could find a way to replace it with others. Make an improvised life jacket. When there is real danger, it can be called heaven and earth should not be called spiritual. It's on your own.

However, the tailor's shop is closed, and if you sew clothes now, you can't do it for an hour or two, you can only find ready-made things.

So, they didn't stop. Continuing to ride the horse, my eyes have been searching on both sides of the street to see if there is anything suitable that can be used as a lifebuoy.

Passing by a wine shop, but before the door was closed, Lu Jinping saw the wine bags hanging on their walls at a glance.

These large sacs were about the size of today's sacks. After sufficient air, it should be able to float on the surface of the river, which is equivalent to a lifebuoy. I don't have time to sew now, so I use this to make do, but it's better than nothing. So, Lu Jinping paid for two large ones. At the same time, a sturdy cowhide rope was bought.

Yunzi was a little strange and asked, "What are you buying wine bags for?" Is it possible to carry wine to the river to drink? That's a good idea, but even if you drink, you don't need to buy two. Knowing that you drink well, you won't drink two sacs of wine at once, right? Hee-hee"

Lu Jinping smiled mysteriously and said: "Drinking is one thing, this thing is life-saving, you will know it when the time comes." But you reminded me that you said that the two of us came out in a hurry just now, and we didn't bring any wine, so let's sell a pot here! ”

"Okay, sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman." Yunzi was very excited, it was a rare experience to be able to swim the Tongzhou River with Lu Jinping in the strong wind and waves, and her heart was full of excitement for this kind of adventure.

Lu Jinping asked the store and chose the strongest wine, of course, the quality is also good, pay for it, a small bag, it is estimated that this bag is enough for them to get drunk. The two of them found another deli and bought some cooked mutton, which they ate with their hands in hand.

When I came to the wharf, there was no longer a single ship in sight on the river, and they were all docked at the wharf. Strings are connected together to help each other stay stable. Seeing that the storm was coming, no one dared to sail to the river to go crazy, except for these two.

Yunzi said: "Let's not look for a big boat, a small boat is more interesting, do you dare?" ”

"What do you dare me not to do? I'm afraid that people won't rent it for us. ”

Yun Ziwan smiled and said, "Do you still need to rent a small boat?" Just buy it. After that, Yunzi walked quickly to the riverside and chose a small boat, which looked quite new. There is a slung at the back of the boat, and there is a penny to support the boat. Ask the boatman if the boat is for sale, and buy it at a high price. When the boatman saw that what they said was true, he casually said a high price, but Yunzi did not bargain, took out a gold ingot from his pocket and threw it to him, saying that he didn't need to look for it, and the boatman couldn't help but be overjoyed, and at this price could buy at least two such boats. I couldn't stop thanking him.

When he saw that they were about to get into the boat, he persuaded them not to go down to the river, saying that there would be a storm now, but when the two of them insisted on doing so, the boatman was a sincere man, and brought them two cloaks and robes.

Lu Jinping asked the boatman about the essentials of the basic rowing and rocking of the oar, especially the essentials of the swaying. The boatman picked up the key points and told him, and Lu Jinping quickly learned it.

Lu Jinping took the two wine bags again and asked the boatman to help blow it up. The boatman did not refuse, and after taking it, he blew up the two lounges without much effort, helped to tie the bag tightly with a cowhide rope, and placed it on the ship.

The two of them propped up the boat and staggered towards the center of the river.

The boatman stood by the river and watched Lu Jinping hurriedly and crookedly propping the boat towards the center of the river, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, wondering if these two people were crazy? The storm is coming, but the two of them still have to hold the boat to the river, isn't this self-defeating?

When the boat arrived in the center of the river, Lu Jinping put down the boat and began to rock, although he was a novice and had never tried it, but just now the boatman had already told him the essentials, and he shook it decently, although the boat was rocking from east to west, but fortunately, their boat was going down the river, and he would go forward even if he didn't rock the boat.

At this time, the sky began to raindrop, and the rain crackled on the plank, and Yunzi rejoiced, and said, "It's raining, it's raining!" ”

Lu Jinping felt that the wind began to rise on the river, blowing the boat to sway. He took the two wine sacs and tied them with two short ropes, and tied them to Yunzi and his own waists.

Yunzi was a little strange and asked, "What are you doing tying this thing?" ”

Lu Jinping said: "If the wind is too strong and the wind and waves overturn our boat and turn it into the water, you can pull the wine bag along the rope around your waist and hold the wine bag, so that it will not sink." ”

Yunzi glanced at him and said, "If you want to take risks and get these moths out, I don't, I like to be free, I don't tie up this Laoshizi." I really want to fall, you save me, if you don't save me, I will become a ghost haunting you. ”

Lu Jinping couldn't help but step forward and hugged her, and tied the rope to her little waist. Yunzi struggled twice and didn't resist, giggling, hugging his shoulders and shaking wildly.

Lu Jinping finally tied the cowhide rope tightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is a hat and a hat on the boat, why don't you wear it?" ”

"On this hot day, the rain is just enough to cool off, what kind of clothes to wear. When we go ashore in a while, it will be nice to use it to cover our shame, but now we don't need to wear it. ”

They were now going down the river, and the boat was fast enough. So Lu Jinping simply let go of the oar, sat in the cabin, and said, "Come, let's drink." ”

Yunzi said, "You drink first." ”

Lu Jinping was not polite, pulled out the wine stopper, brought it to his mouth and drank several sips, wiped his mouth, and said with a long sigh of relief: "This wine is quite strong." ”

It is true that this wine is of inferior quality to the wine they usually eat, but the strength of the wine is much higher, although it is not as high as the high wine of modern society, which was considered high in ancient times.

Yunzi snatched the wine bag from his hand, brought it to his mouth and poured it several times, then stuck out his tongue and said, "Oh, oops, it's so spicy, what kind of wine is so spicy." ”

Lu Jinping was a little stunned, this woman was really heroic, she had drunk the wine bag, she didn't even wipe it and went directly to her mouth and poured it into her mouth, isn't this an indirect kiss? Seeing her cute appearance, she quickly grabbed a piece of mutton and handed it over and said, "Eat it quickly, you can suppress the spicy taste in your mouth." ”

Yunzi grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard, and at the same time, he also grabbed a piece and stuffed it directly into Lu Jinping's mouth. Lu had to open his mouth and bite it, this piece was a little big, it couldn't be flipped in his mouth, and it was very difficult to chew, Yunzi laughed when he saw it.

Yunzi said, "Didn't you say you were looking for a boatman?" Where is it? ”

"Don't worry, it'll be there soon." Lu Jinping stood up, looked into the distance, and in the wind and waves, he could faintly see the huge locust tree, and said happily, "It's almost there, let's row to the shore." ”

He said so, but Yunzi couldn't paddle, only Lu Jinping slowly leaned towards the river by himself, and he had already begun to master how to rock the oar, so the direction of the boat was also the right way.

The rain began to grow heavier, and the boat soon began to accumulate water, and there was a bucket made of wood in the cabin, and the clouds began to scoop out the water, so as not to overturn, but fortunately the wind and waves were not strong, and the boat kept shaking, but there was no danger. Because although this boat is called a small boat, if there are only two people on board, the boat is still relatively large and relatively stable. (To be continued.) )
