Chapter 47: Above the Luo River (1)
Huishui from the northwest to the southeast, out of the south of the country after two forks, one fork to the East Lake, the other fork into Luonan County.
The fork of Naknam-gun is known as the Nakhe River.
The destination of the merchant ships was Luohe City, a town in Luonan County, on the banks of the Luo River.
To go to Luohe City, the waterway is about three days, which is at least half the time compared to going south from Nanba City.
When the merchant ship sailed to the entrance of the Luo River, the three crossbowmen had already eaten dinner, and they had nothing to do, and the three of them were ready to board the deck to take a look at the great scenery of the Luo River.
After entering the Luo River, the temperature began to rise sharply, and it was completely unsuitable for winter.
However, it is precisely this that makes the scenery of the Luo River in winter completely different from other rivers.
The level of the Luo River is gentle, dark green, and bottomless, and occasionally insects and fish in the water jump out of the water, and they are not afraid of this merchant ship.
On both sides of the river, there is a dense jungle, where there are few people, and a few fishing fires have begun to be lit, mostly fishing boats hidden among the tribes deep in the jungle.
Big Brother Xiao picked up a big watermelon out of nowhere, took out the short sword on his waist, split it in a few clicks, and handed it to the crossbowman and Old Man Murong A large piece, and then gnawed it comfortably.
There were a few tables and chairs on the deck, and the three of them sat like that, chatting with each other.
When it was dark all the time, the merchant ships were lit with lights.
The merchant ships slowed down and drifted with the water, a rare sense of tranquility.
The crossbowman suddenly rose up and asked, "Old Mr. Murong, the eldest brother and I took you captive and left Bazhou together, you won't be surprised, right?" ”
Old man Murong threw the watermelon peel into the river and said with a smile: "The old man has been traveling all over the world, and there are a few more interesting people around him, and it is too late to be happy, so why not talk about it." But you two don't think the old man is a drag. ”
The crossbowman smiled and nodded, and Brother Xiao, who was lazily lying on the back chair, muttered in the half of the watermelon skin: "Brother, I have already made up my mind to follow me, and it's weird to talk about a fart." ”
The crossbowman looked at the old man's narrowed eyes, and the two of them smiled without saying a word.
Brother Xiao burped, wiped his mouth covered with watermelon, and said with a smile: "You two little calf noses, an old liar in the rivers and lakes, you are really hypocritical." So saying, he stood up, closed one eye, and threw half of the ruined watermelon rind with his hand towards the place where there was movement on the water.
The crossbowman looked at Brother Xiao with a playful face, and said with disdain: "Big brother, if you do this, if you happen to hit someone on a boat, don't blame the brother for not reminding you." ”
Brother Xiao disagreed, "Lao Tzu is bored, if he really hits, maybe something interesting will happen." ”
The crossbowman was helpless, and looked at the lights around the boat, but fortunately there were no fishing boats, passenger boats and other carriers, and he didn't bother to talk to him again.
"Is that thing with a green hat a person?" Old man Murong looked at the river and said.
When the crossbowman heard this, not far in front of the ship, there was a green hat at some point, and when he looked closely, it was a figure standing on the bow of the boat.
Brother Xiao also smacked his tongue in surprise and said, "Where this bird doesn't, there will really be a stupid hat." Brother, your mouth has not been opened, but you have eaten something that you shouldn't eat. ”
The crossbowman was eager to throw the splash skin from the boat like the watermelon skin on the spot.
The cuckold figure just stopped where it was, and didn't react.
It wasn't until the merchant ship slowly drifted to where the figure was that the three crossbowmen widened their eyes.
I saw that it was clearly a small boat, and the figure was a one-armed man.
Brother Xiao had an undeserved look on his face, looking at the figure obviously weak.
The crossbowman's heart was cold, and he hurriedly wanted to speak.
But the figure disappeared in front of the three of them in an instant, and then the three of them slowly turned around, how could there be a one-armed knight with a watermelon green hat behind them.
With a vague smile on his face, the one-armed knight glanced at the three of them, and finally stopped his gaze on Brother Xiao and said, "This brother, you have lost something here, and the expression on your face is so strange. ”
Brother Xiao suddenly changed his smiling face, "This hero, my brother's reckless behavior just now, I didn't expect someone to catch the way, don't take it to heart." ”
The one-armed knight smiled, threw the watermelon peel on his head, didn't mean to be annoyed at all, and said, "In the Xia Xiaodi, have you seen a few of them?" ”
The three nodded.
The crossbow man said: "Xiao Daxia, the three of us are indeed fortunate to have seen your chic battle on the Huishui high platform, what I didn't expect to meet here is, what happened just now, I hope you don't remember the villain." ”
Brother Xiao followed the wind on the side, "Yes, Xiao Daxia's operation, it really makes me sigh to myself, it is really a blessing to meet this time." ”
To be a man like Brother Xiao, who talks about people when he meets people, and talks nonsense when he meets ghosts, he is extremely sleek, and he must be a handful of people in the world, but if some people don't eat this set, then they can't blame others, who calls themselves to do wrong things and don't take advantage of it.
The one-armed knight waved his hand, the meaning is obvious, this is out of the house, and when he encounters a little thing, he will hold on to it, and the so-called walking and training in the rivers and lakes has not become a joke for others.
He said indifferently: "Why don't you sit down and talk." ”
Brother Xiao hurriedly beckoned the one-armed knight to sit in his position just now, and with a roar, someone brought tea from the boat.
The one-armed knight was not polite, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "It would be better if there was a pot of wine." ”
When Brother Xiao heard this, he was also worried about the boredom in his mouth, and as soon as he shouted, several boatmen brought a few jugs of wine.
The four of them began to abandon tea and drink.
The crossbow man asked, "Why did Xiao Daxia leave after defeating the two young ladies in the first place?" ”
The one-armed knight waved his armless sleeves, how could there be a crippled person to delay the good years of other girls, and there was no love at first sight, to think so much, to do so much, in the end, people didn't take you seriously at all, and it wasn't a thing to look down on.
The crossbow man thought about it for a while, and no longer asked about his son-in-law, but asked: "Xiao Daxia travels on the Luo River at night, I don't know where to go?" ”
Xiao Di took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Go with the flow, no matter where it goes; Fishing at night, waiting for the fish to catch the bait. ”
The crossbow man nodded, he originally asked about people's whereabouts, but he had already committed a taboo, and the one-armed knight in front of him could say this, but in the end, he gave a little face, so it was not good to ask again.
While taking a few sips of wine, the comfortable old man Murong answered, "The old man watched this ranger talk about fishing at night, but just now, I didn't see that you had a rod throwing primer on the boat, just stared at the river and didn't move, and I didn't know how this so-called fishing was fished?" ”
The one-armed knight smiled and looked at the energetic old man, and the two looked at each other, knowing it.
The one-armed knight turned to ask, "What does the old gentleman think about this river fishing?" ”
The old man stroked his beard and said: "Jiangye fishing is actually a matter of interest, not to mention any opinions, but it seems that those idle clouds and wild cranes, for the matter of fishing, it is a study of one, the night is not deep, the day is not shallow, before the rain fishing vegetation cover, after the rain fishing in the open water, many sayings, in the old man's opinion, are some unobtrusive words, since it is a choice of fishing, then there is no need to look ahead, when to whim, when to do it, whether you can catch it, whether you want to catch it or not, just by luck, That's the joy of fishing. ”
The one-armed knight nodded slightly, indeed, as the old man said, fishing, only come according to your own preferences, when you want to throw the rod, when you can catch the fish, it's just luck.
However, he thought about it, his luck was not bad, although he wore a green leather hat for others, but without this hat, when would the "fish" be bait.
The crossbow man listened to the two of them as if they were new things, and he didn't have any ideas, but Brother Xiao on the side accosted: "I said what you talk about fishing... How, in my opinion, it's better to learn more skills, if the ability is there, it will naturally be like those big people in the legend, splitting mountains and rivers, fishing for a fish and where is so exquisite, a punch to the fish and shrimp in the river to death, that is called fishing is not. ”
For Brother Xiao's astonishing words, the crossbowman was no longer surprised, but he amused the one-armed knight and the old man Murong, and both of them raised the wine jug and took a sip of wine.
The one-armed knight said to Brother Xiao: "So, have you ever seen such a character?" ”
Brother Xiao was speechless for a moment, and after taking a sip of wine, he suddenly said: "You really don't believe it, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there are rumors and deeds, and it turns out that an abyss suddenly appeared in the capital of Yanli, and it is said that it was split by a Taoist who was immortal and boneful, but someone deliberately covered up the truth of the matter, but the words are terrifying, where is there anything impenetrable, even if no one believes it, there will be many speculations, but I, Xiao Xiangfei, just believe it, who told it to finally reach my ears." ”
The one-armed knight knew it in his heart, didn't ask any more questions, looked at the sky in the night, and said casually: "Maybe it's true." ”
Old man Murong followed, "True and false, false and true, all for me and other external affairs, why do you care so much..."
Brother Xiao was stunned, what's wrong with the two of them, didn't he just say a rumor, as for it.
Looking at the crossbow man on the side, the little Taoist was pondering something, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
Brother Xiao simply sat on the deck and drank alone...
_ _ _ _
Above this world, in some ethereal world.
A broad-robed Taoist was being chased by a group of white-clothed immortal masters flying with swords.
The Taoist suddenly stopped on a certain cloud and scolded: "The damn thing is endless, but I accidentally smashed your ancestor hall, and I won't let go of chasing after the fallen master." ”
There was a taunt from the group of Edgeworth people behind him, "A bull's nose in the secular world who has just embarked on the immortal path dares to offend the entire immortal world..."
When the Taoist heard this, he laughed, "A group of goods who don't have any hair grown, and they dare to point fingers at the Taoist master, and they have the ability to let your family adults come to the Taoist and say, what kind of ability is it to pester the Taoist master like this... Ignorant things, come to eat the Taoist master to destroy the world, dashing, handsome out of the universe of a sword. ”
After the Taoist finished speaking, the Dao robe waved, and the clouds under him turned into a sharp sword and headed towards the group of white-clothed immortal masters.
The man of the sword hurriedly retreated, but the cloud sword suddenly turned into a mist, and the man had already disappeared without a trace...
On a certain same cloud, there was a slightly younger plain-robed Taoist priest next to the broad-robed Taoist, and the Taoist priest saluted the Taoist and said, "Master, you have not been here for a long time, how are you doing?" ”
The Taoist glanced at the plain-robed Taoist priest and said angrily: "You stinky boy, for the teacher, leave the words here today, if anyone rushes to stop the Taoist master and me, Lao Tzu will demolish his house." ”
The broad-robed Taoist said, stepping on a cloud and preparing to fly elsewhere, turning around, "Remember to take care of your little junior brother, you don't have to worry about the rest, the teacher will decide." ”
The plain-robed Taoist priest bowed his hand goodbye, turned around to look at the boundless space under the clouds, and said to himself: "It turns out that you are the so-called little junior brother..."
