At the end of the spring of the 51st year of the New Dynasty, on the waterway of the great river from Hankou to Zhongliu in Jinyang County, a flower boat more than three zhang long rowed through the blue waves and went down the river. There are long white water marks left behind the boat.

At that time, Jinyang Huailai Huojia took advantage of the chaos in Suchuan and the new dynasty had no time to look south, announced that he would attach himself to the new dynasty, form an alliance with Nanping, and attack Zhongliu, and at this time was entering all parts of Jing County. On the waterway from Hankow to Zhongliu, warships gathered, and merchant ships avoided it. A flower boat appeared on this waterway, above the waterline on the side of the boat, the word "Youli" in seal script, very abrupt and eye-catching. What's even more peculiar is that the flower boat has a female wall like a battleship, so that people can't see what's going on inside.

The flower boat passed through the waters under the jurisdiction of Zhuxiyi, and three patrol sentry ships outflanked it and intercepted it. One of the sentinel ships caught up, and a black-faced soldier in the bow shouted, "Stop the ship and check." ”

He was about to throw the cable onto the flower boat, when he felt a figure in front of him, and a thin and handsome young man jumped from the flower boat to the front of him. Before he could scold, the thin young man had already handed a yellow seal to his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Master Bing, this is the customs clearance document signed by Huo Qingtong himself, now you have everything you can scold." ”

The soldier was about to blurt out the dirty words back into his stomach, and took the document with a suspicious face. After he finished reading it, his attitude changed greatly, almost groveling, and respectfully handed the document back to the young man's hand, and said: "The little ones are also listening to errands, and I just asked the uncle to bear with me." ”

The young man was very satisfied with the word "uncle": "Brother understands, you are also loyal to your duties. After speaking, he turned to Huafang and shouted, "Sister Jue'er, throw a rope down." ”

A crisp voice came from the flower boat, and it was moving: "I thought you were very capable." Can you jump down, but can't you jump up? Before the words fell, a long rope hung down from the flower boat. The young man smiled at the soldier, and then quickly climbed up, turning over and entering the flower boat.

The black-faced soldier signaled that the sentry ships could be released. Behind him, he glanced at the green paper lantern hanging high on the flower boat, and said contemptuously: "Isn't it just a flower artist, you can use it so arrogantly?" ”

"If you are convicted of many words, they are still signed by the eldest prince when they clear the customs documents, how can you and I afford to offend." After that, looking at the flower boat that was gradually moving away, I couldn't help but be glad that I swallowed back that dirty word in time.

Huo Qingtong looked at Sister Youli's eyes, but he didn't expect that the document he signed was not annoying. Along the way, you will encounter ghosts and kill gods, and you can eat all the sizes. The thin boy lay on the back deck of the ship, his eyes narrowed, looking at the clear blue sky, and he sighed with emotion about what had just happened.

"How can Master Huo have? People are gentle and elegant, sitting in a precarious position to discuss the rhythm with Sister Youli, and they don't squint, how can you say it in your mouth. A beautiful little maid retorted in a crisp voice.

"It is his eyes that do not squint that he can guess that he is confused. Think about it, which normal man sees Sister Youli's flowery appearance is not crooked and slashes. Still sitting upright, suave? I think he has ulterior motives. ”

The beautiful maid giggled at him, kept patting him on the shoulder, and said, "You see that Sister Youli has a good attitude towards him, and she also took off her veil and talked to him for a long time, which tastes good in your heart, isn't it?" ”

The thin young man snorted, and retorted with his lips: "When will Sister Jue'er learn to be wicked first, then in my arms, I can see Sister Jue'er looking at the eldest son of Huo with spring in the corner of her eyes, but unfortunately, the eldest son of Huo is sitting in a precarious position, and I haven't noticed Sister Jue'er's affection." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the thin boy got up like a tanuki and disappeared into the cabin.

Jue'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet and said angrily: "Stinky fish, dare to arrange me? If you don't show up right away, you will ask Sister Youli to help you wash your clothes in the future. After waiting for a while, the thin boy did not appear, and Jue'er also entered the cabin in a huff.

The thin boy had already taken off his long coat in the flower hall, and when he saw Jue'er come in, he jumped through the window, "plopped", and got into the water.

Jue'er made him tremble with laughter, and he didn't look angry just now, and said angrily to the woman holding the roll by the window: "Sister Youli doesn't care about him, the river is so cold, he just goes down like this?" ”

"I don't care he's as effective as you?" Youli stood up with a smile and said, not caring about Jue'er's anger at all, but teasing her: "Didn't you blame him for arranging you just now, and now you care about him again?" ”

Jue'er's face turned red, waiting to refute. At this time, the thin boy shouted under the boat: "Jue'er, come and catch the fish." At night, you can eat the live carp of your uncle and aunt. ”

Jue'er hurriedly turned around and went out, forgetting what to say to Sister Li.

Sister Li turned to look out the window. On the river, the thin boy stopped in the water, his upper body was exposed, and under the rays of the setting sun, his chest was refracted with a red luster, and he was holding a red-tailed carp in his hand, leaning over with a full face of vitality. Sister Li unconsciously pulled the corners of her mouth up, revealing a charming smile. Uncle Sun, who had just stepped into the ship's hall, was stunned and said with relief: "It's been a long time since I've seen Miss's knowing smile." Miss's appearance is unparalleled in the world, but only with such a knowing smile can she meet the title of Miss 'Qin Fairy'. ”

Sister Li's face was full of shame, obviously she couldn't stand the praise of her uncle and grandson, but she added to her coquettishness, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Aunt Uncle and Sun, didn't I tell you?" There are only five of us on the boat, so let's call me Youli. ”

Uncle Sun didn't admit it, walked over to put down the window curtain, looked out the window, saw that the thin boy was gone, bent down to pick up the gown on the ground, sighed, and said with a smile: "Four years ago, when I rescued him on the boat, I saw that he was still a child, but I didn't expect it to grow when I saw the wind, and he was already half a young man in a blink of an eye. ”

"At the beginning, his little face could come out of the water, and he didn't say a word all the time, but now Jue'er is no longer his opponent." Jiang Youli remembered that the two had quarreled in the past, and couldn't help but laugh lightly.

The thin young man happened to come in, and when he saw Jiang Youli smiling like a flower, he was stunned for a while, stepped on the threshold with one foot, and forgot to go in.

Jue'er kicked her back and sneered, "Peek at what? ”

"What is a peek, just to see Sister Li smiling like a flower, I forgot to go in and appreciate it for a while." With that, he strode into the ship's hall, took the gown from his uncle's hand, and draped it on his body. Da Ma Guan Dao sat down, holding his face and carefully examining Jiang Youli. Youli showed him that his neck was flushed, and he was even more delicate. Reach for his wet head and give him a flash.

Jue'er followed in reluctantly, and scolded: "Sister Youli is getting more and more cheeky, are you bold now." ”

"Sister Jue'er, don't be angry, when you smile like Sister Youli, I will also look at you with a cheeky face, plus salivation."

Jue'er Xing's eyes widened angrily, and she came over to pull his ears again, but she saw the thin young man's head shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and scream in a hurry: "Stinky fish, don't move." Ears come over. ”

When the thin boy heard this, he immediately put his ear in her hand, with an exaggerated look on his face, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, just waiting for her to scream as soon as he exerted his strength.

"I haven't strained yet, you need that expression?"

"Wait for you to exert yourself, I will scream again, and it will be too late for Sister Youli to help. At that time, my young mind would have been severely traumatized. ”

The daughters amused him with his words. Jue'er couldn't laugh either, and patted him on the head and let him go.

In the evening, the clear light is like water, the river surface is sparkling with silver, in the water, in the air, and the February phase is interesting. The mountains on the south bank are black and dark like a beast, endless. The mountains on the north shore are like sprinkling silver powder, as far as the eye can see, like a ray of light. The breeze came slowly, the water waves chased the boat, and suddenly there was a sudden hissing of beasts, and the sound of the surging waves could not be hidden.

Jue'er has been floating with the flower boat since she was a child, and she is not afraid when she hears it, and asks Youli next to her as if she thinks of something: "What do you say the stinky little fish is doing now?" Last time I saw him reading in the moonlight. ”

"You're getting more and more concerned about him?"

"Who cares about him, now people can't sleep, just find a topic to talk about. If you don't like to hear it, then let's say uncle and grandson are good. ”

"Really?" Jiang You turned over and hugged Jue'er, shook her pepper milk, and whispered softly to her: "Jue'er has also grown up and is sincere." ”

Jue'er shrank back shyly, and said softly, "Sister Youli is laughing at Jue'er." ”

Youli said with a sense of feeling: "In two years, I will let you get married." You say, okay? ”

Jue'er immediately exclaimed: "Who wants to marry him, a year ago, he didn't reach people's eyebrows, not to mention that he called me sister?" ”

"You're only on the tip of someone's nose now, if I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be a year older than you, and your sister was forced by a dead face."

"When he first came, he looked so small, and he looked cute and pitiful. Who would have thought that he would be fourteen years old at that time. Jue'er recalled in a soft voice, and Youli responded with a sense of feeling, and also fell into the memories of the past. The moonlight shines through and shines on two faces like flowers and jade, one is mature and charming, and the other is beautiful and shy and warm. Both of them reminisced about that night four years with a gentle face.

At that time, Youli saw that the soldiers in Jiangjin City suddenly gathered, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy, and he was uneasy. As soon as the ban on the city was lifted, he led the people to sail away. Out of the city, passing under the Fengling Peak of the Setshan Mountain, I saw a figure lying on the shore in the distance. Uncle Fang Wu went ashore and brought back a child covered in blood. Uncle Fangwu judged that it seemed to be full of breath, but in fact it was still full of vitality. However, all the meridians in his body are damaged, and his uncle and grandson Fangwu have been mixed for half his life, and he has never seen such a serious internal injury, and he can still keep his life, which is unheard of.

The child in front of him was covered in blood and black scabs, covering his entire face, terrifying, and blood was still oozing from his mouth. Youli thought that someone could hurt a child so ruthlessly, and he was sad and pitiful for a while. personally washed his body with warm water, and took turns with his uncle and grandson Fangwu to recuperate for him with internal breath. It took two months for him to regain his senses.

"Wash him clean, only to find that he is very beautiful." Youli said with emotion.

He couldn't hear it, and he went crazy when he heard it. Last time, Uncle Sun accidentally praised him like this, Sister Youli, do you know how he retaliated against Uncle Sun? ”

"Oh, how did I not know?"

"I forgot to tell you. The next day, Uncle Sun was going to teach him to scatter, but he said: 'I am the righteous son of Wu Chu, one of the top ten masters in the world, and if I don't learn martial arts, I can only scare the thieves. Uncle Sun was so angry that his beard curled up. Thinking of the situation, Jue'er laughed out loud. Youli couldn't help but laugh. Jue'er continued: "At first, although he was small, he was old-fashioned and cute, I remember that after he woke up, we asked him where he came from, but he ignored him and said: 'Wait to save my life, I can't bear to lie to you, don't ask again.'" Then he was lovely and cold, as if he were now disgusted and hateful. ”

Youli remembered that when he first woke up, he refused to be thousands of miles away, and he seemed to have suffered a great grievance in his heart, but he cleaned it up alone. refused to allow Youli and his uncle Fang Wu to use internal breath to heal him. After being able to get up, he often sat alone in the stern of the boat and stayed for a day. He didn't know how to avoid the rain, Jue'er held an umbrella for him, but he ignored it. Let the hearts of the people be pitied, and they will not be annoyed with his indifference. This situation lasted for a whole year, but there was only one day, when his uncle and grandson Fangwu took him and Jue'er ashore to listen to the book "The Biography of Yi'er", and when he returned to the ship, he took the initiative to say the first sentence: I am that person. From then on, he forgot all the unpleasant things, and was full of vitality all day long. Thinking of this, Youli's face was gentle to the extreme, and he was extremely holy under the moonlight.

"He's too active now, and Uncle Sun said that he shouldn't cultivate internal breath now, so he can't practice light body technique. People don't see that he doesn't need to practice at all, like a tanuki, and sometimes his uncle and grandson can't notice him approaching. He couldn't hold his heart, and one day he would leave the ship and go ashore. Speaking of this, Jue'er frowned lightly and breathed lightly, as if she wanted to exhale a trace of worry from the depths of her heart.

"Men will be ambitious, and after a few years, if I don't find my mother, we will find a place to settle down and no longer wander. At that time, let Xiaoyu go out for a wandering, and when he gets tired, he will naturally come back. ”

"Huh." Jue'er seemed to think of something, turned over to look at Youli, and said seriously, "Sister Youli, it's better for you to marry Xiaoyu with me." ”

"Ahh Youli exclaimed, startled Jue'er's words. couldn't help blushing, reached out to pinch Jue'er's waist, and scolded lightly: "You Nizi is thinking about me." ”

Jue'er pinched him very much, "giggled" and struggled, panting and said, "Sister Youli told me the central matter." ”

"It's okay for Sister Youli to be my wife, just forget it. After walking in the rivers and lakes, my friends in the rivers and lakes asked me about the red and purple scars on my body, and I couldn't say that I was beaten by my little wife. Xu Ruyu suddenly appeared outside the window and said.

Jue'er was taken aback, and immediately jumped out of the bed in a frenzy, shouting: "How can you eavesdrop?" ”

"Jue'er, you don't know that my eyes are very good, and the moonlight is good today. If you want to expose it, don't implicate Sister Youli. ”

"Ahh Jue'er Fang realized that she was only wearing a corset, standing in front of Xu Ruyu, and Youli also overturned the quilt by herself, revealing most of her body. Jue'er turned over and lay down, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and the quilt screamed in a muffled voice: "Why are you eavesdropping?" ”

"I didn't eavesdrop, I'm going to replace Uncle Sun, I didn't expect you to ask Sister Youli to be my wife together, I'll express my personal opinion by the way. It's me who marries a wife, so I have to have my own voice. ”

"Qubble, ears come over."

Xu Ruyu smiled at Youli helplessly, and as soon as I didn't think she could do anything, she leaned over and stuck her head into the window, and said, "The ears are here." ”

When Youli saw him stick his head in, he couldn't help but feel hot at the root of his ears, but there was no trace of anger in his heart, and his breath was chaotic. I saw Jue'er carefully poking out a hand, touching around, pulling Xu Ruyu's ear and pulling it down. Seeing Xu Ruyu gradually put his face to him, he clearly felt his burning snort, and couldn't help but be confused, ashamed and afraid, but he couldn't have the strength to move his head away, so he closed his eyes. On the one hand, he heard Xu Ruyu's usual exaggerated shouting, and on the other hand, he felt that he sprayed his scorching breath on his flour, and he was intoxicated and his body was hot for a while.

Hearing Xu Ruyu say in his ear, "Youli is so beautiful now", his body was so hot that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

The next day, Youli was a little afraid to see Xu Ruyu, and when he saw him, he still called "Sister Youli", and his hanging heart finally let go, but he couldn't help but have a trace of complaint and regret. Xu Ruyu is still playing with Jue'er. The girls sat on the bow of the boat and chatted, and he followed his uncle and grandson Fangwu to fight each other. Xu Ruyu has roughly mastered the essence of Da Sanshou, but he is distressed in his heart, and there are still very few Dan breaths that can be used now.

It was said that in the Jiangjin Yongning Governor's Mansion, Xu Ru heard that as long as the boulder was lifted, the body of his father-in-law could be taken away, and there was no hesitation in his heart. With a sudden force, the siblings lifted the boulder to the ground.

It's just that at this time, the innate Dan Qi in the body is no longer under Xu Ruyu's control, and he is wantonly sprinting and flowing in his body, breaking through his meridians. The speed of the line is rare in the world. When Xu Ruyu moved the boulder to Wu Chu's body, all the meridians in his body had been damaged. His physical functions almost stopped, but that kind of strong and unbreakable will required him to leave Jiangjin City with his father-in-law's body on his back. When he was exhausted, a soft breath was born between the broken Ren and Du pulses, slowly flowing through his body. At this time, the Dan breath instinct in the body was still terrifying, and the qi line was running on its own.

Xu Ruyu carried the body of Wu Chu out of Jiangjin City, returned to the grass house, and buried Wu Chu, and that strong will was also dispersed, he felt that he was dying, and lay on the embankment and fell into a coma. While the innate Dan Qi broke through its meridians, it also made every effort to protect Xu Ruyu's most fundamental heart because of the surname of Zhengchong He. The innate Dan Qi all broke through the meridians around its body, and the Ren and Du veins were also included, and the Heaven and Earth Trick was sprinted with all its strength by the Innate Twisting Dan Qi, which ran through before the Ren and Du two veins were damaged. Therefore, the innate Dan Qi was able to circulate in his body, and when Xu Ruyu was about to exhaust his strength, it was constantly running.

Xu Ruyu fainted and died on the embankment, but Zhongzheng Chonghe's innate Dan Qi was still running in his body, and his surname could be suspended. After they rescued him, after two months, the veins between Danfu and Dantian were initially stable, and he woke up from his slumber. In the following years, he practiced diligently according to the amazing tricks. Only now, the meridians in the body are all stable. If this is not the case, the meridians in his body have broken through the innate limit, and he is more tenacious and broad than ordinary people. It's just that he has been practicing diligently for several years, and all the innate Dan Qi is used to wash the meridians and heal the veins, and the excess Dan Qi also sinks directly into the heaven and earth and turns into the essence of the Yuan Jing, which is returned to the two kidneys and scattered all the internal organs, cultivating the source and consolidating the source. The Dantian Dan Mansion is as empty as a valley, and the newborn Dan breath cannot go out of the body and turn into Dan power. This made Xu Ruyu a lot of trouble.

However, over the years, the body has become more and more aware, such as falling from a high place, the body instinctively tightens, and the moment it touches the ground, it suddenly relaxes, so as to relieve the huge momentum. The comprehension of fighting movements, with a talent like a beast, Uncle Sun Fangwu frankly admitted that fighting with him with a big loose hand, if he does not use internal breath to swing his movements, he is not his opponent. Xu Ruyu's internal breath is still weak, but his breath is long, and he can't breathe in the water for the time being, but it is still longer than the time of a pillar of incense. Uncle Fang Wu said that he had all the conditions to become a master, and he only needed to be able to practice the Dan Xi technique when he recovered from his injury. Xu Ruyu's body was mutated, and even if the three great grandmasters were all in unison, they couldn't all be relieved. Although his uncle Fang Wu could detect the existence of the Dan Qi in his body, he saw that he could not condense in the Dantian, thinking that it was the innate essence qi. Therefore, Xu Ruyu is even more talented. Xu Ru said this with a smug smile, and now that his meridians have been stabilized, he is even more energetic, and his face is full of vitality. When Uncle Fang Fangwu saw that his internal injuries had healed, he also moved his mind to accept him as an apprentice.

Last time, he was given a sentence of "martial arts that can only scare the thief", and he was half angry to death, and the words of the apprentice were not spoken. After a few months, the scar was healed, the pain was forgotten, and the idea of accepting the apprentice was started again.

"Little fool, what do you think of my big loose hand?"

"Fortunately, with my current knowledge, I think he is still broad and profound, and he may not be able to say in the future. What's the matter, Uncle Sun has always acted like a humble gentleman, why is he forcing me to praise you now? ”

The three girls who were sitting next to them watching the sunset couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Uncle Fang Wu's face turned red, and he almost didn't have the courage to say the following words, he hated it so much, but he tried to pretend to be calm, and said: "Although it is difficult for Da Sanshou to enter everyone's eyes, it also occupies a place on the list of miraculous skills. ”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ru was surprised and said: "The list of miraculous skills, I have heard of it." My father-in-law, Biluoge, can only rank sixteenth, I don't know how many big scattered hands are? ”

Uncle Fang Wu was angry and said, "You kid, you can't get along with your elders?" ”

Xu Ruyu retorted and said, "Uncle Sun, when are you my elder, why can't I get along with you?" ”

Everyone knew that he was going to chew nonsense, but at first glance it was abrupt, but it was the uncle and aunt who took over and asked, "Don't you call him uncle and my aunt, and why is he not your elder." ”

Xu Ruyu put his palms together, stretched his waist and pressed it backwards, and when he reached his heels, he quickly bounced up again. Seeing that he made this move easily, Uncle Fang Wu couldn't help but be stunned, and wanted to take him as an apprentice even more, and asked, "Why am I not your elder?" ”

Xu Ruyu said leisurely: "I don't call you uncle, but uncle and grandson, it's not that I deceive you, it's really your surname is not good, uncle of uncle's grandson, isn't it a peer?" ”

Uncle Fang Wu listened to it and was ready to fight. Xu Ruyu took the first step and jumped away and ran towards the stern, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter, all the women couldn't help laughing, only Uncle Sun Fangwu shook his head and smiled bitterly. The uncle and grandson knew the husband's mind best, and walked over to comfort him, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Why do you have to accept him as a disciple, you just teach him everything you have." ”

"That's the only way, I don't pass it on, you and Miss are not the same as they will teach him." After that, the couple smiled heartily, looked out of the boat hand in hand, and saw the clouds rolling in the blue sky, like a thousand shapes, the river and the sky are vast, the cool breeze is not cold, and the pride is not exhausted.

Youli and Jue'er turned back to the cabin, and when they saw Xu Ruyu sitting at the stern of the boat, they walked over and squatted down behind him to caress his shoulder.

Xu Ru didn't look back, knowing that there was Youli behind him, and said: "There will be another day to Jiangjin." The words were sad.

Suddenly realizing that the man in front of him was the same scarred child he had been four years ago, he took him into his arms, looked at the endless blue sky together, and let his tears slide down the hem of his clothes.
