Chapter 335: Water Bandits

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a small boat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small boat that was obviously used for fishing, no more than seven or eight meters in size, without even a canopy, with a layer of yellowed resin brushed on the board, looked like it should have been used for many years, and there were mottled marks left by the years everywhere, and there were even cracks in some places, as if the boat would crack with a "click" when touched lightly, and then be swallowed up and submerged by the cold river water.

Of course, none of this is a problem......

The problem is that there are so many people on board!

The boat is full of men and women wearing Miao costumes, at a cursory glance, there are at least twenty or thirty people, crowded in such a small boat, women holding children, men holding piglets, at Xiao Yu's feet, there are actually two dirty white geese, not to be outdone, quacking, opening their mouths to bite the corners of Xiao Yu's clothes......

For a while, the sound of the oars breaking the water, the shouts of the adults, the shouts of the boatmen, and the singing of the men, these voices were intertwined, as if a vivid picture was unfolding in front of them, and the whole world suddenly became lively and lively.

"This place is...... Nanzhaoguo? Xiao Yu's eyes swept over, his eyes flashed, and after asking, he confirmed his guess.

This place is indeed Nanzhao, it is rumored that Nanzhao eight water is half a mountain and a field, many people are begging for a living on the water, these people on the boat, are the farmers who go to the royal capital to catch the market nearby, the market rushes every fifteen days, then dozens of Miao villages in the radius will gather together, it is one of the famous local events.

"I don't know what happened to Li Xiaoyao and them, after so long, have they returned to Nanzhao......"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, feeling the smell of the sun and the warm smoked wind, and his mood slowly became comfortable.

At this time, it was about August, which was supposed to be a hot summer and busy farming season, but from a distance, in the distance, there were mountain peaks standing majestically in the sky, and the part where it met with the white clouds was covered with a layer of snow, reflecting the holy halo in the sun.

Turn a green mountain, but see the water is gentle, the sampan creaks and rows to the front, and suddenly sees a floodplain in front, both sides are endless reeds, the breeze blows, the reeds are fluttering, the eyes are full of gray reed flowers, connecting the sky and the earth, it looks quite spectacular.

Among them, there are wild ducks, egrets, white cranes and other migratory birds hovering and flying under the blue sky and white clouds, and the loud and long singing echoes under the clear sky, and the vastness and magnificence of nature are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Xiao Yu was about to write a poem, but at this time, in the reeds in front of him, several small boats suddenly turned out.

"Stop, stop!"

The men standing on the ship were all dark-skinned, and although they were not tall, their eyes were quite sharp, and on the decks of some ships, there were a few fresh fish jumping around.

Several small boats blocked most of the river, and these men still held fishing forks, firewood knives and other weapons in their hands.

The passengers on the sampan, although a little surprised, were not flustered, but chattered, and Xiao Yu quickly figured out what was going on.

"I held a piece of grass, did it turn out to collect tolls?"

As the saying goes, "poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people", the geographical environment of Nanzhao is very poor, the cultivated land is scarce, the people's livelihood is poor, and most families make a living from fishing. It's just that the ancients fishing is not the same as now, there is no mechanical operation, and personal safety is not guaranteed, so they can only work hard to survive, but they can't make any money.

Some of them were forced to be ruthless, and when they were cornered, they took a knife and drove a boat to stop on the river.

Either you mix it up and eat it, or you die here!

In this case, everyone generally swallows their anger and destroys their fortunes, but these water thieves will not be too excessive, generally everyone can just collect a few pennies, and they have formed a routine and bad customs here, and even the government is turning a blind eye and is too lazy to care.

In fact, this kind of thing has been common since ancient times. Many old farmers in the last century, when they went to work in the fields, would bring their own guns, and if there were pedestrians passing by, they would make a cameo appearance as a roadblocker, which can be regarded as a long-standing business.

Even the old man who held the boat greeted the man opposite with a smile: "Zhou Daring, how is the baby's illness?" ”

"Thanks to your old man, the baby's illness is almost better." The one who spoke was a six-foot-tall, shirtless, revealing a body of dark muscles, although he was not tall in Xiao Yu's eyes, but standing with others, he obviously had a bit of a taste of standing out from the crowd.

The guy was clearly the leader of the bandits, and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of slightly blackened teeth, and chewing betel nut in his mouth.

Xiao Yu has also eaten betel nut before, it is one of the four major southern medicines, chewing it, eating too much will be red ears, dizzy, such as drinking wine, there is a feeling of smoke.

Even in some places formed customs, just as Su Dongpo improvised the poem "The cheeks are flushed and charming, who knows that Nong is drunk betel nut", betel nut is indispensable for New Year's festivals and marriage proposals, marriage and happy events.

However, this thing can not be eaten often, occasionally eating some is good for the body, but if you chew betel nut for a long time, it will cause the teeth to turn black, because the juice of betel nut is purple-red, which will stain the teeth with a layer of enamel, and the brush can not be cleaned, and there are many other harms.

The two said a few words, and the tall man waved his hand, "Brothers, get out of the way, let Daddy go!" ”

Just as the ship was about to pass, Zhou Daring suddenly sighed, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yu in disbelief.

"What kind of village are you from, and how did you get so faced?"

The others were also taken aback, their eyes fell on Xiao Yu, and they talked in a low voice.

"When did this afterlife get on the ship?"

"Does anyone know him?"

"This young man looks so good."

Zhou Daring's brows furrowed deeper when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice:

"You get off the boat first!"

Xiao Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and explained shyly, "I'm a reader......"

"I don't care if you are a scholar or not, the messenger has already passed down the word, as long as it is an unfamiliar face, it must be detained!" The tall man's right hand had already pressed on the hilt of the knife, and his tone was filled with murderous intent, "I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!" ”

“……”

The warm breeze blew, but the atmosphere suddenly froze. The reeds rose and fell slightly in the breeze, but there was no longer the softness of the square, as if it had become a white banner of spirits, and the original sparkling water surface quickly became gloomy, and even the sound of the wind seemed to become very poignant.

Looking at the frightened and suspicious eyes of the rest of the people on the boat, Xiao Yu sighed, stood up, and said lightly:

"Isn't that good?"

Zhou Daring was stunned for a moment, but immediately rolled his eyes, stretched out his finger and poked Xiao Yu's chest, "That's right, hurry up and roll me to the boat, otherwise my lord will sink the white knife in and out of the red knife, and directly sink you to feed the fish, and no one will blame me!" ”

His eyes were contemptuous, and his tone was even more disdainful.

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly, stepped on the sampan of these people, stood with his hands in his hands, and said lightly:

"I'm coming up, let them go."

Such a calm appearance and such a demeanor made several fishermen who wanted to scavenge Xiao Yu breathe, and involuntarily took two steps back.

Zhou Daring looked at Xiao Yu coldly, and then waved his hand and said:

"Daddy, let's go."

"Okay, okay, let's go." The old man shrunk his neck and quickly propped the boat away, not daring to stop for the slightest.

When these villagers who rushed to the market disappeared into the reeds, the tall man turned his head, his eyes were sharp, he stared at Xiao Yu, and said coldly:

"The lord above has already ordered that no suspicious person is allowed to enter the royal capital! You kid will go back to the village with us first, and when the time comes to find out your identity, I will naturally let you go. ”

“……”

I am an alien black household, where does my identity come from?

Xiao Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying to make a final effort, "What if I don't have an identity?" ”

There was a man next to him who smiled, "No? ”

The laughter fell, his face suddenly turned cold, and the saber in his hand came out of the sheath, revealing half of the cold blade, "If you don't have it, you can't stop it!" ”

Seeing this scene, the friends in the live broadcast room are already crazy-

"In broad daylight, blocking the road and robbing it, this deal is hard to get."

"Yes, it's strong."

"My arrogant cat said, reward them with a few slaps~"

"You're Doing Death......"

"Yesterday, a beautiful woman in the group suddenly said that she might not be able to see her on Double Eleven, and everyone persuaded her not to do stupid things, and after a long time, the beauty came to a faint sentence, 'After all, it is inconvenient to type'."

"Well, I think it's better to snap such a cute girl......"

"There were a lot of people on the bus, and I accidentally threw myself into the arms of the handsome guy in front of me, looking at each other and blushing. In the ambiguous atmosphere, the handsome guy whispered, 'Brother, it's better to get off the single ...... together today', I blurted out, 'Eight hundred nights, no bargaining!' ’”

"Don't drive, nutrition can't keep up!"

“……”

"Hurry up, do you still want to ask you?" Zhou Daring sneered and kicked Xiao Yu's knee, obviously intending to make a move.

Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed, and Sen Leng's momentum was suddenly released.

The other water thieves were laughing, planning to see Xiao Yu's jokes, and suddenly saw the temperament of the scholar in front of him who was weak and weak.

It felt like a sleeping tiger suddenly opened its eyes, slightly revealing its sharp teeth and claws, and spit out a slightly fishy breath from its mouth and nose.

The tall man was stabbed by Xiao Yu's gaze, and couldn't help but kick back a few steps, almost falling under the boat, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his gaze at Xiao Yu was already shocked and shocked.

Xiao Yu retracted his gaze and groaned slightly, although he was strong, he would not kill people without saying a word.

"Then ......" (To be continued.) )
