Hu Xuan smiled, and continued with what he had just said: "No matter what era, stealing to make a living is the most hateful and shameful, this kind of person will not last long, especially those who seek money and kill people, and deceive others with art, which is not tolerated. ”

The monkey man bit the dry food and said with a smile: "Then you say, isn't it common for those big officials in the world to bully people and harm the people?" Even the emperor's ministers, officials and rich people, who didn't eat the blood of the people, use the people's money, and then bully the people? Far from it, now the commanders of these various gangs, the president, the prime minister, and the minister, who has not made money and killed him? What is the difference between them and Zhang Shenjian? ”

The monkey's mouth is sharp, and this rhetorical question made Hu Xuan a little speechless, paused and said: "You are right, so now the world is chaotic, the people are not happy, and everyone is not moral, but it will not always be like this." It will definitely change in the future. As he spoke, he waved his dry food in his hand, as if Mr. Teach was speaking. A-Ning smiled: "Okay, okay, this is not a lecture hall, let Brother Monkey continue to talk about this...... Four strange rivers and lakes. ”

"Okay," the monkey man took out his skin, instructed the little monkey to find the spring water, and then continued: "The first of the four strange rivers and lakes, called Xiong Dadao, this person has the strongest martial arts, a big knife, rare opponents, the most valuable thing is that he is kind-hearted, the ancient way is warm-hearted, it is said that once he caught a trafficker, saved a child, took the child to run more than a thousand miles, sent back to his hometown, the family is a thousand thanks, Xiong Dadao did not take a penny from the reward of the master's family, and drifted away, so he was praised as a righteous hero. And this person is righteous and squandering money, as long as someone is really in trouble, whether he knows it or not, he will generously help him, and he is the first respected person in the rivers and lakes. ”

Shi Suo was a little strange, and interjected and asked, "How can a person like Xiong Dadao become a brother with Zhang Shenjian?" ”

"They are not brothers," the monkey man shook his head and said: "The Four Wonders of the Rivers and Lakes are the four celebrities who are connected together, but in fact, they are neither sworn brothers nor accomplices, and they basically do not interact with each other, and sometimes they are even on the same page." ”

"That's right." Hu Xuan said.

The gray shadow flashed, and the little monkey ran back, the leather bag he was holding was already filled with water, and jumped on the Lying Niu Stone to look around, and A-Ning cheered: "This little guy is so cute, so smart." ”

The monkey man said proudly: "We have been together for several years, and the most rare thing is 'heart-to-heart', it understands my mind." ”

"Go ahead and talk about them." Stone Lock urged.

"Okay," the monkey man said: "The second of the four strange rivers and lakes, called the flying mountain monkey, this person is the most scheming, smart-minded, difficult to find in the world, when it comes to martial arts, maybe not as good as the bear knife, but good at small and gentle skills, if it is stealing, there is no stronger than him, especially full of strategies, people can't prevent it." ”

Hu Xuan said: "This kind of person, in my opinion, is the most dangerous, if his strategy is not on the right path, it will be especially harmful." ”

The monkey man said: "When it comes to morality, this flying monkey is difficult to say, some people say that he is also good and evil, some people say that he has become a guest of a certain big man, because he always sees the head and does not see the tail, so the praise is mixed, he has saved Zhang Shenjian from the Jingzhou prison before, and he has also assassinated a county official with a bad reputation and bad deeds, and it seems that he only likes and dislikes, and does not distinguish between right and wrong. In addition, he has another hobby, which is domesticating animals. Speaking of which, he patted the little monkey squatting next to him, "This, I have a little imagination, but I heard that he is much more powerful, and the trained monkey can be a spy." Deliver the message with carrier pigeons. The gatekeeper said that it was with poisonous snakes. ”

A-Ning listened fascinated, "Listen to you say this, it's like in a myth." ”

Look at the sky, the sun is about to set, the sunset is full of the western sky, the peaks are covered with glow, gorgeous, and the dusk in the mountain is magnificent. Hu Xuan said to A-Ning: "Have you rested?" Let's talk as we go, or it'll be too late. ”

Everyone responded, the little monkey ran in front first, and the four of them walked up the mountain road. Shi Suo was addicted to listening to the "Four Wonders of the Rivers and Lakes", and urged the monkey trickster to continue talking. The monkey man smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about that magic arrow, no one likes him in this person, and most of the things he does are lacking in virtue and harming others." The last of the four odds is a woman. ”

"Female?" A-Ning asked curiously.

"Is it strange for a woman? Since ancient times, there have been many female heroes. The monkey man said: "This good woman, named Jiangyu Niang, the most famous, is the water kung fu, it is said that Dengping crosses the water, hand catch flying fish, of course, these are legends, I think it is exaggerated, but there is one thing, it is true, that is seven or eight years ago, a boat in the Yangtze River, carrying thirty or forty guests, do not want to mix into the river pirates, the boat to the middle stream, the river pirates launched a difficulty, in the middle of the stream forced the boatman, looted the whole ship of merchants, at that time the ship was in a panic, in the face of the river thieves bright sword, who will not be afraid? ”

"Then the river fish girl will come out?" A-Ning asked with wide eyes.

The monkey man smiled, "Among the passengers, there was a gray-haired old lady with a girl in her twenties, who looked timid, and the girl said to the old lady, 'Grandma, these people are really hateful, and we can't get to the other side on time.'" ’

The travelers next to him secretly complained that the girl was not sensible, and some people were kind-hearted and used their bodies to block the ancestors and grandchildren to prevent Jiang thieves from having evil thoughts. The old lady did not panic, but said to the girl, 'We have promised to go on a date, but it is not too late, you go and persuade the fierce people to jump off the boat, and do not delay here.' ’

When the people next to them heard this, they all thought that the two grandparents must have lost their minds, and everyone looked at them, but the girl seemed to be gone, and walked straight to the hatch, and smiled at a few bandits: "Hey, my grandmother said, let you jump ship and run for your lives, don't delay everyone's affairs here, we all have something to do, and the boat can't always stop here." At that time, three or four masked river thieves were guarding the hatch with machetes in their hands, and a delicate girl was smiling and talking to them as if they were discussing an ordinary matter, and the scene was very strange.

A big river thief led by a big man, seeing a thin girl standing in front of him, slowly and methodically asked them to 'jump ship', laughed, and said to his companion: 'Arrest this girl, Lao Tzu is looking for happiness...... Before the words fell, the girl heard what he said unpleasantly, and immediately changed her face, stretched out her hand lightly, grabbed his wrist, and the big knife fell on the board with a bang.

This time the trouble started in a hurry, the tall bandit 'huh', knowing that he had met a strong enemy, although the knife was out of his hand, but he was not flustered, his body sank, and he hit the girl with a punch, and several other river thieves also surrounded him at the same time, and a few bright big knives surrounded the girl. The travelers around them screamed in fright when they saw the move.

Seeing that the girl's thin body swayed a few times like a willow in the wind, she drilled out of the gap between the fists and swords of several big men, the cabin space was narrow, and the knife was slashed, and she couldn't move, the girl's body was like a wisp of smoke, and she jumped out of the hatch without allowing a hair, and when the river thieves chased out, she had an extra Emei thorn in her hand, and after a few ups and downs, the tall bandit had been injured and fell to the ground.

The fight turned to the deck, and a few men among the passengers shouted: 'A girl is giving us a ride, what are we big men doing?' So several people rushed out of the hatch to help the girl, but they heard only a few 'plops,' and some of the robbers were thrown into the river by the girl, and others, seeing that the situation was not good, jumped down themselves. There were only a few large knives, littered on the deck.

At this time, a discerning person shouted: 'Jiangyu Niang', the girl smiled, did not say anything, straightened her clothes, got out of the cabin, returned to the old lady, and said, 'Grandma, okay, we can continue to go.' The boatman thanked him for coming, but the river fish lady did not speak again, and the old lady said, 'Hurry up and sail, don't delay everyone's business.' The boatman turned the rudder and set sail, but he saw from afar a few robbers swimming to the shore, and the boat was as if nothing had happened. The monkey man shook his head as he spoke, as if the thrilling scene was still in sight.

"Listening to you is like listening to an artist tell a story, it's quite enjoyable." Hu Xuan laughed.

The monkey man laughed, "This, I praise you, we play monkeys, firstly, by virtue of craftsmanship and the spirituality of monkeys, and secondly, we have to rely on our mouths, and if we talk lively, all the officials will be happy to pay for it, otherwise you cry and close your mouth, who will like to look at you?" ”

"And then?" A-Ning asked.

"Later, I heard that Jiang Yuniang got married, lived in seclusion, and didn't walk around the rivers and lakes, thinking that she was at ease to keep her family and teach her husband and children."

Hu Xuan suddenly stopped, stared at the monkey trickster and asked, "Was there your brother on that boat at that time?" ”

The monkey man laughed and said, "You guessed right, at that time, I didn't think I could do anything to block in front of Jiang Yuniang and prevent her from coming out, but now I think about it, it's really ridiculous." ”

"No," said Hu Xuan, "it is very proper for you to do this, and I guess you are among those who took the lead in rushing to the deck." ”

The monkey trickster smiled and didn't deny it. The group talked and walked, the sky darkened unconsciously, the sunset in the mountains was fast, and soon the world fell into darkness, and the mountains outside were only vague black shadows, and the mountain wind was strong, blowing the mountains and forests, and there was a rustling sound.

A-Ning became worried, "It's still too late, there will be wolves in the mountains at night, right?" ”

"Don't be afraid," Hu Xuan comforted her and said, "There are so many of us, even wolves will not provoke us, besides, this eldest brother and Shi Suo are both good at martial arts." ”

In the dark night, the mountain road is difficult to distinguish, after the steep section, it is more careful, the group of people is moving very slowly, the monkey man said: "The moon is full today, the moon is late, but it is bright after coming out, we might as well rest for a while, wait for the moonlight to be bright and then go on the road, sharpen the knife and not cut the wood." ”

"Okay." Hu Xuan said.
