After inquiring about the boatman in detail, Ren Yingying learned that this is the junction of Shandong and Henan provinces, east of Shandong Heze Dingtao, west of Henan Dongming. The boatman said that this river is a small tributary of the Yellow River, and the terrain in this area is flat, and there are many swamps.
Ren Yingying knew where it was, so she ordered the boatman to set off immediately, just sailing west along the Yellow River, without saying where the final destination was. The ship's family received money, so they naturally listened to the orders of the gold owner, and they didn't care about having breakfast, so they hurriedly pulled the anchor, hoisted the sails, and set sail.
In less than an hour, the boat sailed into the waterway of the Yellow River, and the river became cheerful. It was the height of summer, and the wind was blowing in the east, and although the boat was going against the current, the speed was not very slow.
At noon, Yue Lingfeng finally woke up, and the first thing that caught her eye when she opened her eyes was Ren Yingying's pretty face, and after she carried Yue Lingfeng into the cabin, she stayed by his side. Seeing that Yue Lingfeng woke up, he said happily: "Mr. has finally woken up!" Hungry, aren't you? Grab a bite to eat, right? ”
Yue Lingfeng saw that he was in a very cramped cabin. In addition to a double bed, there was only a small table and two horses. The beds and bedding are also very old, but they are still neat.
Yue Lingfeng lowered his voice and asked, "Where is this?" After that, he also glanced at the coarse cloth middle coat he was wearing, which was obviously not his own clothes. The size is too small and it doesn't fit. ”
Ren Yingying also replied softly: "Sir, we are on the Yellow River, and we are going upstream. This is a passenger ship I rented this morning. I asked the boatman to change your wet clothes for you. ”
Yue Lingfeng nodded, Ren Yingying also changed into a gray cloth short dozen men's clothes, although there was no patch, it was also white. She is tall, she wears the boatgirl's clothes too shortly, the boatman is about the same height as Ren Yingying, and he is also a lean physique, and his clothes fit Ren Yingying just right.
After Ren Yingying changed into men's clothes, she simply changed her men's clothes and tied a men's bun on her head. Although the clothes are old, the whole person looks handsome and heroic.
Yue Lingfeng was paying attention to Ren Yingying's men's dress, but she said with a slight twist: "Sir...... That one...... Belch...... To be on the safe side, I told the boatman that we were brother and sister who capsized in the river and were in distress...... The gentleman must not be called wrong in front of them. ”
Yue Lingfeng smiled and said, "It's right to be careful, don't worry, second sister, eldest brother understands." ”
Ren Yingying heard Yue Lingfeng call her second sister, her pretty face was hot, and a red cloud rose on her cheeks, and then she smiled and said, "Big ...... It's good that the eldest brother understands. Let's eat something. Saying that, Ren Yingying brought the corn porridge on the table to Yue Lingfeng's hands.
The corn porridge is warm, apparently just made. Sure enough, Ren Yingying said: "I just set sail, and the ship's family can't care about cooking." Just after turning into the Yellow River waterway, the boat lady freed her hand and brought us corn porridge.
There are no good tonics on board now, sir...... Oh no, big brother will do it first. When it was time to dock at night, I went to buy it at the boat's house. ”
Yue Lingfeng said: "Don't buy tonics, you and I both need to exercise and recuperate." No tonic is needed. Looking at the layout of the cabin, this ship knew that it would not be a wealthy and wealthy family.
It's reasonable to let the boatman buy some meat and eggs, but if you buy some nourishing herbs, wouldn't it be suspicious to be seen by careful people? It only increases the danger. ”
Ren Yingying nodded and said, "I listen to my eldest brother." This eldest brother called casually, as if he had always called Yue Lingfeng like this.
Yue Lingfeng was really hungry, and drank a big bowl of corn porridge in three bites.
The ship they were on was not big, except for the aft cabin where the boatman and the shipwives lived, there were only two cabins. Yue Lingfeng's cabin is in the middle of the ship, and it is the largest cabin. Ren Yingying's cabin was at the bow of the ship, which was even smaller than Yue Lingfeng's cabin. There was only one single bed in the cabin, not even a table.
After eating, Yue Lingfeng began to meditate and practice. Ren Yingying also went back to the room to breathe. In the evening, when they anchored at the shore, the boatman sat on the side of the boat and caught a few carp, and the two of them became rich in the evening.
Ren Yingying also asked the boat family for a clay pot, and fried the tonic herbs that Ping Yizhi gave her at the beginning. These packets of medicinal herbs were very tightly wrapped in oilcloth by Ping Yizhi's wife at the beginning, and the water soaked in the burden on Yue Lingfeng's waist overnight was only slightly damp.
With the assistance of these drugs, Ren Yingying's body recovered faster. In this way, the boat sailed during the day and anchored at the shore at night, and there was no danger all the way there. A few days later, Yue Lingfeng walked around the bow of the boat when he wasn't practicing during the day. Blow the wind and take a look at the scenery on both sides of the great river. Ren Yingying was afraid of being recognized, and never went out of the cabin during the day.
After the sixteenth, when the ship arrived at the Yanshi realm, Ren Yingying's strength had fully recovered. Yue Lingfeng also regained his strength. Although it is still not possible to use internal force to use force against people. But the strength of the muscles and bones has been fully recovered, and it is no different from ordinary people.
On this day, Yue Lingfeng called Ren Yingying into his cabin and said to her, "Little sister, do you usually use any hidden weapons?" ”
Ren Yingying shook her head and said: "I have practiced the technique of catching hidden weapons, and I really don't use it often. I don't usually have a hidden weapon on my body. ”
Yue Lingfeng took out two small cowhide needle sacs, which were inserted with ordinary sewing steel needles. Ren Yingying roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of steel needles in each needle capsule.
Yue Lingfeng said: "Now that the enemy is currently learning this, if the chasing soldiers suddenly come, there will be more ways to resist the enemy." These were ordinary sewing needles, but the half near the tip of the needle was coated with ice poison. It's the poison I let you put on your sword by the waterhole. ”
Ren Yingying took the needle capsule and carefully pulled out one, and found that there was nothing special about it. But she was terrified by this poisonous intensity, and that day Ding Jian and Shi Lingwei pursued them, and were scratched by Yue Lingfeng with a long sword, and immediately died of anger.
Yue Lingfeng said: "In this primary color cowhide needle sac is a non-toxic steel needle. Inside the black needle capsule was a steel needle coated with ice poison. Our Huashan faction rarely uses poison on the rivers and lakes, and it is generally used to save lives when it comes to life and death. At this time, if we encounter a strong enemy to besiege and kill, it will be a matter of life and death.
We soaked in the river all night that day, and I don't know how much of the ice poison on these steel needles and long swords has been soaked, and we have to recoat some to rest assured. ”
So, the two of them carefully picked the three swords and the steel needles in the two needle sacs with bamboo sticks and smeared them with ice spirit poison. The sword only has the first third of the blade coated with Ice Spirit Poison, and the second two-thirds are rarely used to injure the enemy in combat.
In the days that followed, under the guidance of Yue Lingfeng, Ren Yingying practiced the technique of flying needles in the cabin. Time passed imperceptibly.
At noon on this day, the boatman suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Childe, girl, our ship has arrived at Tongguan, where are we going next?" ”
Yue Lingfeng was overjoyed: "I'm almost home!" ”
