Chapter 51: Li Ergou's Marriage Path (3)
This night, the seven injuries of Guigu were unbearable, and they couldn't sleep at night, and Baili Tusu was taking care of them on the side, and he was also worried.
Cheng Cheng and Ye Bai pondered at the bow of the boat: "Now that crocodile group is only ten miles away from us, and there are many of them, plus Xiao Qi is seriously injured, if they want to retaliate and sneak attack at night, we are afraid that we will not be able to fight and escape!" ”
Ye Bai was also deeply worried, and thought of a way to say: "I don't think it will rain for the time being, why don't we go to the shore for a while, chop some reeds and grass to make a bed, use the sky as a quilt, and then find some stones to surround it, barely we should be able to spend a night." Besides, the grass and trees on the shore are abundant, people hide in it, and it is difficult to find them outside, even if the crocodiles come to seek revenge, they may not be able to find us! ”
"Brother Bai is a good plan!" Cheng Cheng clapped his hands in agreement.
So they ventilated with the two men in the boat, and the four of them chopped some reeds and went ashore.

Saying that, on the saber-toothed crocodile's side, he let go of the enemy and lost the dowry, Li Ergou was very angry, crying in front of the ancestor and crying to bring some people to bring the dowry back.
Although the old ancestor felt sorry for it, he didn't allow it: "The four evils are very powerful, especially the white-clothed scholar, I don't know what weapons to make, I almost even cut my scale armor, you let your uncles and uncles accompany you to ask for a dowry, they will not give it, this moves, I don't know how many people will be killed and injured, Ergou, you still have to endure it, and wait for the four people to leave before making plans." ”
Li Ergou cried: "It's not that Ergou can't bear it, but this autumn rainy season will pass, and when the river recedes, the Liuhe River and the Rong River will be separated, and I am afraid that it will be far away when I see Erya." It's not that I feel sorry for losing the dowry, but I have already made a private agreement with Erya for life, and I promised to marry it this year, how can I break my trust in it and lose its sincerity?
If the ancestors were worried about the safety of my uncle and uncle, I could have gone alone, for the wicked man, though he was cruel, only robbed in the middle of the river.
It's just that I suffer from the utilitarianism of the Erya people, and I have to have a dowry to give Erya to me, if I go empty-handed, I'm afraid that I will go in vain! ”
The ancestor couldn't bear to see it suffer from infatuation, and said: "That's it, there is a treasure in my clan, which is a thousand-year-old 'Biluo Water Grass', which can repair all internal injuries and have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. ”
Li Ergou was excited, kowtowed to thank his ancestors, took Biluo water grass, picked two younger brothers and set off.
All the way to the starry night, not long before the mouth of the three-forked river, did not dare to take the waterway, for fear of encountering evil obstacles and robbery, so they went around to the river bank, lying on the grass and trees sneaking.
"Brother Dog, are those evils really as powerful as you say?"
The two younger brothers didn't believe it, and they easily repelled the evil in the daytime, making them mistakenly think that the enemy was nothing more than that, completely unaware that it was because of their large numbers.
"Don't talk!" Li Ergou glared at the two of them, for fear of provoking evil, and warned, "A one-eyed wild monster like you two can be solved by them with one move, if you don't want to die, leave quickly, don't be discovered by them." ”
The two younger brothers shut up in fright and began to crawl among the grass.
"Bang~"
Maybe it was because he was too anxious, or maybe it was because it was dark, and one of the younger brothers suddenly hit a pile of stones.
"Oops, Mom!"
Suddenly there was a scream from behind the pile of stones, and then a shirtless man stood up with his bleeding forehead covered, and shouted:
"Why did this stone wall fall down?"
After seeing the situation in front of him, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Bai, Bai, Brother Bai is not good, the crocodiles are really coming to the door, hey, why are there only three?" ”
Then, Li Ergou saw the most frightening scene for him, only to see the white-clothed scholar stand up with the broken copper and iron again.
Fortunately, it reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and fled, but it was a pity that the two newly acquired younger brothers were split in half by an ax after being stunned.

"Huh?" Cheng Cheng picked up the lost blue conch aquatic grass, handed it to Ye Bai, and said, "These two crocodiles seem to have brought some treasures?" ”
Ye Bai took a look at it, found the aquatic plants growing in a biluo shell, and said: "This seems to be a 'biluo aquatic grass', I once took it after being injured in the divine domain, it is a healing elixir." It's just that it's not as big as this one, and I was taking a hundred-year-old part at that time, and this strain must have at least five hundred years of form! ”
After speaking, the two gave the Biluo Water Grass to Guigu Qi and asked him to try it first to see how it worked.
As soon as he ate a small leaf, Guigu Qi felt like a sweet spring flowing into his body, his blood was instantly unblocked, and his spirit was much better, so he couldn't wait to swallow the whole plant.
Because he ate too hard, he was a little uncomfortable at first, but after staying up for a while, he became comfortable again, and the thousand-year-old Biluo Water Grass contained more heaven and earth aura, which actually helped him break through the bottleneck and rise to silver.
"I'm the only one left in bronze!"
Cheng Cheng was not happy this time, he never thought that he was the slowest one to upgrade, he began to miss Li Ergou a little, and he looked forward to it coming again to give him a treasure.
~
It is said that Li Ergou returned home, lying at the feet of the ancestor and crying silently, complaining: "Those thieves are too cunning, they even calculated that we would walk from the shore, and also set up an ambush in the grass and trees, we were unexpectedly robbed of the dowry by them!" ”
"Hey~" The old ancestor also sighed again and again after hearing this, "I have long heard that there is a kind of two-legged creature that is very cunning, it seems that we have met it, Ergou, you should take care of it for the time being, it's better not to go against them!" ”
~
Li Ergou had to reluctantly agree, and cried for another day, and the next night, he saw a bright moon rising from the river, knowing that the autumn rainy season had passed, and the water level of the river began to recede, but the Iraqi people were still on the water side, waiting for themselves with anticipation.
It is inevitable that he will be sad, and he can only sigh to Yuexing.
When the old ancestor saw it like this, sooner or later he would have to get sick, and called over and said: "Ergou, if you really want to go, I won't stop you, there is still a treasure in the family, it is a treasure armor, which was made of its skin after the death of a four-eyed ancestor in the past, which can be described as invulnerable and indestructible!" You can take it as a dowry, and when you go, you can wear it on you, and those wicked people will not hurt you. ”
Li Ergou excitedly kowtowed and thanked him again and again, and said: "Ancestor, don't worry, this time I will go alone, and I won't follow, I won't walk from the river, I won't walk from the shore, I will only sneak along the water's edge, if I meet that group of thieves, I can find it in time." I won't fight with them, just turn around and run away, and I won't lose this treasure again!" ”
After speaking, he put on his armor and set off with the stars and the moon.

Besides, the four of Ye Bai, Guigu Qi has already escaped, plus the weather is clear, the river has retreated, and the water flowing through the river is no longer so turbulent, as long as you survive another night, you can start again.
After nightfall, Ye Bai discussed with everyone: "I was harassed by crocodiles last night, and those three crocodiles are afraid that they are just the vanguard, to find out where we sleep, and they may come out of the nest tonight, and they can't stay on this shore." And the boat can't be parked in the middle of the river, I think we might as well find a water on the bank of the river and sleep in the boat, in case the crocodiles really come, it is better to detect it in time, even if we can't beat it, we can escape, how! ”
"Big brother's brilliant plan!"
The other three clapped their hands.
