Chapter 289: Meeting is Fate

"Master, why did you even accept this old gambler?" Xiao Mimi glanced at Xuanyuan Sanguang behind her, and said unpleasantly.

"You think I want to." Zhao happily muttered. If it weren't for the system suddenly popping up and saying that this merit is worth earning, Zhao Kai wouldn't have brought a big man with him by his side.

Xuanyuan Sanguang took a sip of wine, didn't care about Xiao Mimi's cynicism, and said with a smile: "The master can even accept you as a slut, and you can't accept me for anything." ”

"You!" Xiao Mimi snorted coldly, resisting the urge to do it.

"Okay, don't make any noise. Master, where are we going next? Xiao Yu'er asked.

"Anyway, the Shifting Flower Palace will chase after it sooner or later, so it doesn't matter where you go, just take a stroll and enjoy the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes." Zhao Kai chuckled lightly and took the lead in moving forward.

————————————————

In this way, a group of four people went south along the Minjiang River, and arrived in Xuzhou on this day, the people in Sichuan were rich and rich, and the scene was naturally different from the barren northwest area.

Xiao Yu'er has stayed in the Valley of the Wicked since he was a child, where has he seen this kind of scenery. I saw him looking at the rolling river, elated, and said with a smile: "Master, how about we take a boat for a while?" ”

Zhao Kai quietly looked at the endless river, and the corners of his mouth also showed a smile.

"The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. Shaohua is like a dream, in the face of time, how small is life for a hundred years. ”

"Son-in-law is so young, where do you get so many emotions, they are almost comparable to me, an old man."

I saw a brand-new awning boat sailing over, and a man in a hat beckoned to Zhao Kai and smiled: "Where is the son-in-law?" Little old man, I can give you a ride. ”

Zhao Kai raised his eyes and looked. The old man who spoke had gray temples and vicissitudes in his eyes, and what Zhao Kai said just now would be more contagious if he said it.

Zhao Kailang laughed and said, "The elders are invited." How dare you refuse. In that case, a few of us will bother the old man. ”

Zhao Kai floated onto the boat with a light tap of his toes, and Xiao Yu'er and a few people also jumped onto the boat afterwards.

The canopy boat suddenly increased by four people, but under the helm of the old man, it was unusually stable, and slowly sailed towards the river.

The windows in the cabin were bright and clean, and apart from the white-haired man, there was only a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old on board. A pair of big eyes always glanced at Zhao Kai. The little girl was obviously also interested in what Zhao Kai had just said, with an unclear expression. Zhao Kai stepped forward and touched the little girl's head kindly.

The little girl clearly didn't like to be touched on her head. He stretched out his little hand and waved it in protest.

Zhao Kai smiled, the little girl's hands were white and tender, and she really didn't look like a boatman's daughter who worked hard all year round.

And the ship is new, and the clothes of the grandfather and grandson are also new. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary man. Fang Cai just heard Zhao Kai's words, so he invited Zhao Kai and a few people to get on the boat.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai remembered Lu Chengfeng on the edge of Taihu Lake in the Condor Shooting, and it was because of this that he got on the other party's small fishing boat.

Zhao Kai smiled at the man and said, "Uncle, what is your surname?" ”

The man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old man's surname is Shi...... Ahem, everyone calls me Old Man Shi...... Ahem, my granddaughter has a name...... Ahem, her name is Shi Shuyun. ”

"Shi Shuyun. What a good name. Zhao Kai withdrew the hand placed on Xiao Shuyun's head and said with a smile. In fact, what Zhao Kai wanted to say was that the name Old Man Shi was better. This bad old man, who coughs twice every time he says a word, must be a strange person and a martial arts master, but Zhao Kai has never been in the habit of inquiring about other people's privacy, and it doesn't matter who others are or what they are called.

At this time, I heard the old man shouting: "Aunt Yun, don't eat lotus seeds, if you eat too many lotus seeds, your heart will be bitter." ”

Zhao Kai turned his head to look, and saw that Shi Shuyun's white and tender little hands were really grabbing lotus seeds, eating them, and laughing at him.

"Big brother wants to eat?" Shi Shuyun stretched out his hand forward, spread his palm, and smiled happily.

The plump oval lotus seeds also seemed to be smiling at Zhao at the moment.

This girl is really infectious, Zhao Kai unconsciously reached out and took one and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and the faint bitterness was oozing, but it was soon covered by a fragrance.

"Well, it's delicious." Shi Shuyun's big eyes were smiling into crescent moons.

"Master, this little girl has taken a fancy to you." Xiao Yu'er walked up to Zhao Kai and whispered.

As soon as the words fell, a large handful of lotus seeds were smashed towards the head of the little fish.

"I want you to talk nonsense!" Shi Shuyun's face was slightly red, and he said angrily.

The boat quickly left the dock when suddenly a boat approached us. Old man Shi used a long penny to the opposite bow of the boat, and the two boats staggered, and both boats were only slanted.

These grandfathers and grandchildren are really not ordinary people. Whether it is from Shi Shuyun's whispering that he could hear Xiao Yu'er just now, or the hand that Old Man Shi showed at this time, it can be glimpsed.

The sky is blue, the river is golden, and the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is picturesque.

Before they knew it, they had been on the boat for several days.

The speed of the boat suddenly slowed down. And Zhao Kai sent Shi Shuyun's eyes to become bigger, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was waiting to see what interesting things happened.

At this time, the boat had arrived in Kuizhou, and Old Man Shi suddenly stopped the canopy boat.

Xiao Yu'er smiled: "Isn't it too early to go to bed now?" ”

"It's okay, let's bet on two, it's a lot of grinding this time." Xuanyuan Sanguang patted Xiao Yu'er's shoulder and smiled.

Xiao Mimi looked at Zhao Kai with a tender face, Zhao Kai's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly turned to look at the Shi family's grandfather and grandson, waiting for their explanation.

Shi Shuyun blinked his eyes and smiled: "There is Wuxia in front, and at night, no one can cross it, so let's rest early today, and have the spirit to break through early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Yu'er smiled: "Ah, is there the twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain in front of you?" When I was a child, I heard the two poems 'The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains', and I wanted to see that place. ”

Shi Shuyunjiao smiled: "Although these two poems are beautiful. It's not a beautiful place at all, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your life there. Especially now, I'm afraid that even the apes on both sides of the strait can't scream. ”

Xiao Yu'er said strangely: "For what? ”

Shi Shuyun smiled and said softly: "There are some things, you still don't have to ask too clearly." ”

The other party didn't say anything, Zhao Kai could also guess one or two at this time, there must be some danger ahead, and everyone was in the river at this time. Then apart from natural disasters and the dangers of the terrain, there is only one possibility, and that is water banditry.

The next day. It was dawn.

Zhao Kai's ears moved slightly, opened his eyes, and when he walked to the stern, he found a big ship sailing from his side. Fade out of sight.

"They're in trouble." Shi Shuyun woke up at some point. Standing beside Zhao Kai, he looked at the big ship in the distance and said worriedly. I saw that our Xiao Shuyun had changed into a green cloth shirt and pants at some point, and pulled up the trouser legs, which made her even more slender.

But Old Man Shi never reacted, and slept soundly as usual.

It wasn't until the sky really dawned that Old Man Shi woke up, only to see that he was a little longer, and the boat sailed away.

Zhao Kai looked at it calmly. Nor did he speak, but went to the front. The river is getting faster, but there are suddenly more boats on the river.

There was even a shout of killing coming from afar.

Old man Shi's white beard fluttered, and he was at the helm with all his heart, as if he hadn't seen anything. Xiao Shuyun's two big eyes turned around, full of worry.

Zhao Kai saw dozens of small boats surrounding a big ship, and this big ship Zhao Kai was no stranger, it was the one he found in the early morning.

The small boats around, each with a yellow silk hanging on the mast, were obviously a gang, and it was clear who the bandits were.

At this time, they obviously also discovered Zhao Kai's black canopy boat.

Suddenly, someone on the shore blew a conch, which resounded through the four mountains.

The four mountains echoed, the rapids crashed on the shore, and there were more than a dozen melon peel clippers, which suddenly poured out from both sides. On each speedboat, there were six or seven big men with yellow scarves and heads, some holding ghost head knives, some holding red tassel guns, and some holding long bamboo poles, whistling and rushing straight over.

Xiao Shu Yunjiao shouted: "Grandpa, they really came." ”

Old man Shi's face did not change, and he said lightly: "I knew they would come." ”

Old man Shi looked calm, obviously used to seeing this kind of scene. And Xiao Mimi and Xuanyuan Sanguang saw the water bandits full of eyes, and hurriedly took out their weapons, standing beside Zhao Kai on the left and right, waiting for the battle.

I only heard the big man on the speedboat roaring: "Boys on the boat, take your life!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw that two small boats had rushed straight over, and the big man on the boat raised his sword and gun.

"Don't be fierce, please eat lotus seeds." Xiao Shuyun's silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded on this river.

As soon as her hand was raised, the two big men in front of her immediately roared, threw away the knife and gun, covered her face with her hand, and blood flowed out from between her fingers.

The big men immediately shouted: "Partners, be careful, this girl has a powerful secret weapon!" ”

Xiao Shuyun smiled even more happily: "Do you still want to eat lotus seeds?" Okay, I'll give you a tank. ”

Her little white and tender hands were raised, and the lotus seeds in her hands rained out, but they were not dried lotus seeds, but iron lotus seeds.

I saw that those big men were screaming one by one, some immediately bleeding profusely, and some of them took off their blades, but most of them still rushed up.

"Xuanyuan Sanguang, Xiao Mimi, and Xiao Yu'er will be handed over to you here, I will go to the big ship in front, and meeting is fate, I naturally will not die without help."

The voice has not completely fallen, and Zhao Kai has already gone away.

Looking at Zhao Kai's distant figure, Xiao Shuyun's eyes were shining, and he said enviously: "Big brother's body is so powerful." ”

"A good meeting is fate, but I am hypocritical and selfish."

At this moment, the old man Shi, who was not moving, suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, the whistle was clear and high, like a dragon chanting and a phoenix, which shook people's ears and wanted to crack.

In the roar, the long rod in his palm shook, like a sweeping thunderbolt, and the three people who rushed up first were swept away by his rod and flew away, hitting the mountain rock far away. The other person was just about to jump on the bow of the boat, and the old man Shi sent the long rod, and it actually passed through his stomach, and in the miserable scream, the long rod picked up the bloody corpse, where did one of the dozens of big men dare to rush up!
