Met the locals on the road, quietly asked, sure enough, the caravan was walking along the road, not far ahead, a few people seemed to have wind under their feet, the woman walked very fast, light and fluttering as if her feet did not touch the ground, the stone lock put Ah Hu on his back, took a big stride, and sure enough, less than a meal, the caravan appeared in the field of vision.

At this time, the man disguised as a peasant was also joined with the caravan, three men, three horses, carrying bulging bags and packs on horseback, and two large baskets, which were less than two or three miles away. Hu Shuan shouted: "Run." ”

Shi Suo put down Ah Hu and ran forward with Hu Shu, the woman had already run in front, and suddenly Shi Suo shouted: "Oops." ”

There was a big river in front of them, and the gang had already reached the river, and there was a big boat in the river, with planks on the shore, and three men and three horses had boarded the planks and walked towards the boat. Desperate, Stone Lock shouted to the ship: "Don't sail, there are robbers, stop." ”

I don't know if the boat didn't hear it, or if it was deliberately ignored, the horse gang got on the boat, unloaded the planks, and set sail.

Shi Suo and Hu Bolt ran to the shore and stomped their feet in a hurry, the two of them were northerners, and they didn't know how to water, Shi Suo couldn't help shouting to the boat, and the "peasant" who came over to the deck of the ship shouted triumphantly to Shi Suo: "Hey, you fly here." ”

The woman did not show that she was in a hurry, she walked on the bank of the river, and after a while, she found a bamboo, the thickness of the bamboo bowl, more than a zhang long, it looked very heavy, the woman picked up the bamboo, put one end into the river, and put the other end on the riverbank.

Hu Bolt and Shi Lock didn't know where they were, they just looked for boats everywhere, but when they visited from far and near, the shadows of the big boats and small boats were all gone, and Ah Ning and Ah Hu also ran over at this time, and they were also so anxious that they stomped their feet, and when they saw the boat in the river, they slowly sailed towards the opposite bank.

At this time, the woman was silent, found a thin bamboo pole, held it in her hand, and then took off the shoes on her feet, carried the burden behind her back, and stepped on the coarse bamboo with her bare feet. Hu Xuan asked in surprise: "Eldest sister, what are you doing, be careful, don't fall." ”

The woman said, "It's all right." "Stepping on the bamboo, the bamboo is in the water at one end and the other on the shore, the woman's thin body trembles, and she steps on the bamboo with a bamboo pole in her hand, as if she is doing acrobatics. Hu Shuan and Shi Suo's eyes widened, and they saw the woman's feet strain, and the thick bamboo slid into the river.

A Ning "ah", Hu Bolt and Shi Lock were also startled, the bamboo entered the water, it must roll, and the woman could not fall into the water?

But I saw the coarse bamboo at the woman's feet, neither rolling nor turning, steady, the woman used the thin bamboo pole in her hand to paddle left and right, as if holding a boat, and the coarse bamboo under her feet was like a small boat, chasing straight towards the big boat.

The three adults and one child on the riverbank all looked stupid, who would have thought that such a scene would appear? The woman stood on the bamboo, her body fluttered like the wind swinging lotus leaves, the thin bamboo pole in her hand stroked left and right, the faster she rowed, the more the bamboo under her feet cut the waves, chasing the big boat closer and closer.

"River fish girl." Hu Xuan suddenly remembered and blurted out.

"That's right, it must be a river fish girl." A-Ning also shouted, clapping his hands and jumping up with joy.

"Caught up, caught up." Ah Hu pointed to the river and said.

At this time, the boat has not reached the middle stream, Jiang Yu Niang's "bamboo boat" has been chased, three people came to the deck, it seems that it is the gang of bandits, Jiang Yu Niang threw down the bamboo pole, took off the burden from the back, took out a plate of rope, raised his hand, the rope has been on the boat.

"Cut quickly, take a knife." A horse gang bandit shouted.

A bandit pulled out a knife from his waist and ran over to cut the rope, Jiang Yu Niang's hand was raised again, the bandit fell on the deck with a "ah", and the other two hurriedly lay down, while the robber had not yet gotten up, Jiang Yu Niang climbed the rope and flew onto the deck.

The bandits didn't see it well, got up and besieged it, the one who fell seemed to be not seriously injured, limped up and slashed the knife to participate in the battle, Jiang Yuniang was surrounded by three people, the stone lock and Hu bolt on the shore were in a hurry, and they kept rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, but they couldn't help.

Looking from the shore, the figure of Jiang Yuniang wearing a flower turban walked back and forth among the three of them, and after a while, the lame man seemed to have been kicked, stumbled a few times, and "plopped" into the water. The remaining two fought and retreated, and Jiang Yuniang jumped on the deck, shuttling between the two, and with little effort, another person flew out sideways and fell into the river.

The rest of the man took two steps back, there was no way to retreat, Jiang Yuniang stood on the deck, stopped, the man looked left and right, and then turned around and jumped into the river.

Several people watching the battle on the shore couldn't help but applaud, and A-Ning was so excited that his face turned red and shouted, "Sister, it's good." ”

Jiang Yuniang waved her hand to the shore, then walked into the cabin, and after a while, the boat reversed direction and sailed towards this side of the shore.

Hu Xuan pinched his leg with his hand, it was really not a dream, shook his head, and said: "There is really such kung fu, I thought that the monkey man was acting in a romance." ”

"I felt like she wasn't an ordinary person on the road." Stone Lock said with hindsight.

Hu Xuan said: "Actually, recall, she is not chaotic in the face of danger, she has always been very calm, which is rare, especially as a woman, her son is the meat of her heart, the most important thing, and her beloved son was robbed, and she can still be unfazed. ”

The boat docked, Jiang Yu Niang came out of the cabin, holding two children in her hands, followed by a boat boss, and kept thanking Jiang Yu Niang, saying that if it wasn't for the "woman" to save her life, not only would the boat be ransacked, maybe her life would not be saved. Everyone put on the plank, Jiang Yuniang led the child to step on the plank and walked to the shore, the eldest child was A-Ning's cousin, who saw A-Ning at a glance and called "Sister Ning", and ran over, with an excited face.

A-Ning comforted his cousin, asked about the situation in the past two days, and then ran over and took Jiang Yuniang's hand, and kept saying, "Eldest sister, you are amazing." ”

Jiang Yuniang smiled and didn't answer, but the little child in her hand was very polite, and shouted to Hu Xuan's Aning and others: "Uncle is good, aunt is good." ”

The group was elated, the boss of the boat took out salted fish and bacon from the cabin, flatbread and buns, and sent them to the shore, Jiang Yuniang was not polite, and greeted A Ning and others, "Come, everyone is tired, eat first." ”

The two children seemed to be very hungry, grabbed the food and devoured it, and Jiang Yuniang asked Hu Shu, "Where are you going next?" Is it to send this Ah Hu home? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, can you bring me something?"

"Absolutely." Hu Shuan said happily.

Jiang Yuniang took out a small red cloth sachet from her baggage and opened it, but inside were two yellow gold bars. Hu Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister Jiang, this ......"

"Oh? Do you recognize who I am? Jiang Yuniang smiled and said boldly: "That's okay, you will call me Sister Jiang in the future, what's wrong, isn't it convenient to give it?" ”

"No, such a valuable thing," Hu Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "You can trust us, it's good." ”

Jiang Yuniang said: "What kind of person are you, I know at a glance that it is the most rare to be able to put the safety of others first, especially in this world now, where there are foolish villains everywhere, who are abducted and deceived, and who are not tempted by fame and fortune, must be people with clear minds and accessible avenues." Speaking of this, he turned his head and smiled at A-Ning: "This young man, it is actually very rare at the moment, it is a blessing that you can meet it, but don't miss the opportunity, you have to seize it." ”

"Eldest sister," A-Ning was blushing at what she said, and she was busy stopping it.

"Okay," Jiang Yuniang smiled: "Getting back to the point, isn't Ah Hu's home in the old pavilion village?" Further from there, there is a Ning Mancheng, and I have a brother of my own family, who works as an errand in the county government office, and you give him the things, which is the money I asked him to buy things. ”

After eating, everyone packed up and went on the road, Jiang Yuniang said: "You are still far away, the horse helps the three horses, you can ride them, or meet the town, sell them as travel expenses." ”

Hu Xuan nodded and said: "Okay, I guess these thieves are not necessarily real horse gangs, maybe they looted the horse gang and robbed the horse goods, if we hear the news on the road, we will try to return the goods to the original owner." ”

Jiang Yuniang nodded, "Very good, whether you can find the owner or not, it is a good deed to have such an idea." Born in the world, for goodness first, our sisters are very temperamental. If you have time, you are welcome to come to my house for a few days. He paused and smiled: "You must take A-Ning with you." ”

A-Ning's face turned red again, and she changed the topic and said, "Eldest sister, you can cross the river by stepping on bamboo, it's too admirable, like a fairy." ”

"Wrong," Jiang Yuniang shook her head: "How can there be any immortals, this is a single bamboo drift, in our hometown, men, women and children can do, I can row faster than them, it's really nothing." ”

"Really?" Hu Shu, Shi Suo, and A Ning were all surprised.

Jiang Yuniang said: "When it comes to martial arts, in fact, there is nothing, as long as the practice is always successful, the most difficult to practice, is the heart, people do everything, is the exposure of the heart, only the nature of the cultivation of pure and good, in order to do things without shame, stand up to the sky." ”

She said in a calm tone, but from the inside out exuded a sense of pride, which made people listen to the sincere and convincing and upright, Hu Xuan said: "Sister Jiang, your martial arts are also down, what is really convincing is morality, since we went south, we have encountered all kinds of setbacks, think about it carefully, now the country is most lacking, is morality, the world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, only to cause the law to be abolished, social erosion, now this is the most worrying." ”

Jiang Yuniang nodded, "Yes, but the weather will always be sunny after the rain, and the world will not be like this forever." ”

Hu Xuan remembered that Zhao Ming was also in this tone, and he was full of confidence like Jiang Yuniang, without any discouragement, and said in his heart that he went south, although he had gone through twists and turns, but it was also a harvest to know such a person.

Talking and laughing all the way, when she reached the fork in the road, Jiang Yuniang said: "I'm going to turn around, you should be careful ahead." ”

Hu Xuan said with some regret: "Sister Jiang, it's a pity that there are many things at the moment, and there is no time to talk about it, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to the door to ask for advice." ”

Jiang Yuniang smiled: "Then it's decided." ”

Bidding farewell to Jiangyu Niang's mother and son, Hu Bolt and a few people stayed overnight, rushed back to the village, Uncle Aning's family was in a hurry, and they were all overjoyed to see that the child was rescued safely, and they were very happy to treat Hu Bolt and Shi Suo, only Ah Ning was sullen.

After the master's repeated stay, Hu Bolt and Shi locked it all night, and resigned early the next morning, saying that Ah Hu's parents must be very anxious at home, and they arrived early to comfort the hearts of many people. Uncle A-Ning said: "That's a good thing, we've experienced enough in the past two days." ”

A-Ning was very reluctant, and when she was sent outside the village, tears finally fell. Hu Xuan's heart was also sour, and he said softly to A-Ning: "I won't stay at home in the north all the time, at most next year, at least in March and February, I'll come to you, I'll talk to you, don't worry." ”

Shi Suo said beside him: "That's right, next time I come, I'll come over with his birthday, be a big matchmaker, and go to see your parents in a formal manner, if he doesn't come, I won't agree yet." ”

A-Ning smiled reluctantly, tears only rolled in his eyes, and Hu Xuan said: "We have gone through these encounters together these days, who is what kind of person, is it not clear?" In the future, Shi Suo and I will look for opportunities to find the revolutionary party, and I hope you can go with us when the time comes. ”

"Hmm." A-Ning nodded repeatedly.

Ah Ning's uncle and aunt's family, even the neighbors, came to see them off, and they were sent to a few miles outside the village, before they stopped, Hu Bolt, Shi Suo and Ah Hu walked a long way, and when they turned back, they still vaguely saw Ah Ning standing outside the village and waving.
