At this time, there is no regret about taking the medicine. Hu Kuan's body shook suddenly, and he almost fell off his horse.

When Hu Guang saw it, he was taken aback, with the superb equestrian skills of the eldest brother, how could this happen?

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Hu Guang hurriedly controlled the horse to approach, and asked with concern.

Hu Kuan had stabilized his body, looked at Hu Guang sideways, his eyes were tearful, he shook his head and said, "It's okay!" ”

At this time, Hu Guang heard the sound of "gurgling" from his eldest brother's stomach, and he immediately understood. The eldest brother must have been tired and hungry, plus emotional, so he almost fell off the horse.

As soon as he thought of this, Hu Guang's stomach also screamed. He also felt very tired, his stomach was empty, and there was not a trace of inventory.

Hu Kuan heard the sound of his younger brother's stomach, he looked at the people on the other side of the bank who were about to disappear, turned his head and said helplessly: "Let's go, go home first, you can still cook money and food at home a few times, eat your stomach first, and I will cross the river tomorrow to find out." ”

If it is the body of the next generation, Hu Guang is sure that there is nothing to do in the past now. But now with this body, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

There was no way, and he was about to nod his head in agreement, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flat boat swinging out of the bend.

Hu Guangda was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet the other side and said, "Boatman, come here to help, we are in a hurry to the other side." ”

Hu Kuan was refreshed when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look over.

Sure enough, there was a flat boat rowing to the ferry on his side, and the stern man was a sturdy man, and he came over in response. It's just an unfamiliar face, not from Fugu County.

But when the ship stopped more than a foot from the shore, the captain pointed at them and asked with a solemn voice, "It's okay to carry you across the river, but two people and three horses need a tael of silver!" ”

Hu Kuan was stunned for a moment, and usually the ferry fee is at most five cents at a time. This captain has turned over so much in one mouth, this heart is too dark, right?

"Okay, no problem, just send us over quickly." Hu Guang did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Originally, the captain was only tempting, because he saw that the two men were in a hurry to cross the river, and although they were riding horses, the clothes on their bodies were so old that they were no longer even of their original color, and the patches were everywhere, and they looked poor and sour.

Hearing that Hu Guang agreed without hesitation, he was sure in his heart. These two people are afraid that they have a lot of money. In order not to show his wealth, he pretended to be a poor man.

So, he happily responded, and in a few strokes, the boat was pushed to the shore.

Hu Kuan looked at his younger brother and then at his father-in-law, feeling a little worried. His brothers didn't have a tael of silver at all. If you want so much money, you don't have to sell Yaya.

What should I do if the captain asks for money for a while? Hu Kuan thought as he set his eyes on the captured horse.

Anyway, the family can't afford to raise a horse. In the current situation, it seems that only by slaughtering this horse, you can have food for the winter, and then the horse meat pays for the ferry, which should be no problem.

The captain commanded the thin Hu Guang to lead the two horses to the boat first, standing in the middle of the boat, and finally Hu Kuan.

When everything was ready, the captain excitedly pushed the boat out of the shore.

After being quiet for a while, the captain suddenly opened his mouth and asked with a smile: "Where are the two guest officers, who are in such a hurry to cross the river?" ”

Hu Kuan was thinking about how to explain the ferry fee to the captain, and when he heard that he was the eldest brother again, he hurriedly replied: "Locals, from Fugu County, are in a hurry to Baodezhou." ”

"Oh, from Fugu County! So you're not bad at water, aren't you? I've got a bit of a stomachache, or come and help me get off the boat, so as not to delay your business. As he spoke, his face seemed to be in pain.

Hu Kuan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "We are all landlubbers, and we can't hold boats!" Or ......"

Before he finished his words, the captain suddenly burst out laughing, laughing inexplicably.

The captain stopped, and the boat just stopped in the middle of the river. He spread his feet apart at the stern of the boat and shook the boat twice, so frightened that the Hu Kuan brothers hurriedly went to stabilize the frightened horse.

"Hand over all the money you have, or you'll all be dumplings!" The captain said viciously, and at the same time, he also took out a bull's ear sharp knife from his body, flashed with cold light, and pointed at the brothers.

I've met a river pirate! Hu Kuan's face turned pale suddenly. He is a man on land, but as he said earlier, he is a landlubber in the water, and he can't show any of his skills.

But even so, he still has to take responsibility: "Second brother, come here quickly." ”

After finishing the order, he said to the captain: "This good man, you see how well we are dressed, our brothers are poor people in Fugu County, and we have to sell our daughter today." No, we are in a hurry to go to the other side, just to redeem our daughter. ”

The captain had already judged before, and he also brought three horses, so he would listen to it and decide that the Hu Kuan brothers were just pretending to be poor.

He smiled and shook the ox ear sharp knife and said: "Since this is not the way, Lao Tzu will send you to the western sky!" ”

After speaking, he shook the boat vigorously while approaching the nearest Hu Guang.

Hu Kuan was shocked from behind and wanted to go to the rescue, but the boat kept shaking. Not only did he have to stabilize his body, but he also had to stabilize the horses around him, and he couldn't move at all.

Hu Guang clutched the reins of the two horses tightly with both hands, panicked and full of fear. If I go down any further, I'm afraid I'm going to cry.

Seeing this, the captain was even more proud. If you can kill these two people on the ship, you will not only get money, but also three live horses, and this transaction will really hit the luck today.

"Second brother, come here!" Hu Kuan was so frightened that he shouted again.

Unable to watch his second brother being killed by thieves, he let go of the reins and wanted to rush over, but he couldn't stand at all and almost fell off the boat.

The captain sneered and said, "It's late!" After finishing speaking, he approached Hu Guang's side and stabbed him with a knife.

Just when he was about to succeed, he saw that the panic on Hu Guang's face disappeared in a blink of an eye, and was replaced by a trace of ridicule.

Not good! The captain said secretly in his heart, but he didn't have time to make any moves. Seeing Hu Guang standing firmly on the rocking plank, he quickly stretched out his hand, and with a grappling hand, he seized the bull ear sharp knife in his hand, and stabbed it directly into his chest.

After the screamed, he was silent, and Hu Kuan was stupid when he heard it. The specific details were blocked by the horse and he didn't see it, but he understood that the river thief was killed by the second brother.

Hu Guang leaned down, searched behind him, picked up a pair of cloth shoes by the way, and then kicked the pirates off the boat. The shoes are a bit big, but they're better than nothing. After getting dressed, he walked to the stern of the boat and began to hold the boat.

Hu Guang's skills in supporting the boat are not inferior to the captain just now. The boat paddled smoothly across the middle of the river and landed on the other side of the ferry.
