Chapter 125: Strange People (4)

Cuicui thought for a moment and smiled, "I know who you are!"

Leopard, Qingqing was stunned: "How do you know who your predecessors are?"

Cuicui suddenly moved, took off the hat that the fisherman wore on his head with his sword, and said, "Look, who is this?"

Leopard and Qingqing, at first, blamed Cui Qingqing for being too immodest, how did she take off someone else's hat? Aren't you afraid of the anger of the person who saved her?

But when they looked at him, they said stupidly, "Uncle, it's you!" and the fisherman was the flamboyant little merchant.

Cuicui smiled and said, "Why did you change your business again? Fishing by the river? You didn't lose money on this deal, did you?"

Shang Liang pretended to be angry and said, "Why did you do this? Take off my bamboo hat without asking? After my face is tanned, will my yellow-faced wife recognize me when I get home?"

Cuicui said, "A yellow face, a black face, isn't that pretty? Maybe your wife likes you more! You're not at Wutong Bridge, how did you come here?"

Shang Liang blinked: "Guanyin Bodhisattva told me in a dream that he was coming. ”

"You're dreaming in broad daylight!"

Shang Liang suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Look, something happened!"

The leopards turned to look at the river, only to see a cloud of water rising from the river.

A head peeked out of the waves, followed by half a body, and a man under his arm.

Leopard, Qingqing, and Cuicui were surprised when they saw that the person who came out of the bottom was not another, it was the boatman.

Not far from the captain, two men appeared on the water, and they were the two sailors on board.

They tread the water back and forth, and with the unseen man, they hurried to the shore.

Shang Liang said, "Let's go and see who has come ashore!" and he threw the anchor on the shore, lest the boat drift away. Except for Qingqing, they all jumped out of the boat and ran towards it. First of all, the leopard said in surprise: "Uncle, have you caught this jade-faced rakshasa?"

The boatman laughed: "This woman is so evil, she burned my boat, who will pay if I don't ask her for compensation?"

Cuicui asked, "Uncle, how did you catch this wicked old woman?"

The captain said: "I dare not provoke her on land, but in the water, I am not afraid of her." The three of us, one holding hands and the other dragging her feet, grabbed her like that. ”

Only Shang Liang didn't say a word and observed silently.

He saw that the boatman and the Yuhua Rakshasa had already fought underwater, so he used the palm-deep strength to hit the Yuhua Rakshasa and seal her acupuncture points, lifting her to the surface.

Obviously, the boatman is also a hidden master.

Which sect is this strange person a disciple of? Underwater Kung Fu is so handsome? Shang Liang thought about it again and again. Suddenly, he remembered a celebrity in the martial arts world.

He smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the elder of Bailanggang, the Jiao King of Poyang Lake, right?"

The boatman smiled and said, "Little brother must be mistaken! I'm just a boatman on the Minjiang River." ”

Shang Liang smiled and said, "The boatman can send some excellent thieves to the water. He also made the boat spin on the river, pushing the boat to the shore and forcing people to tread water, as if walking on flat ground. This is indeed a remarkable and strange thing in the world. And this aquarium stunt, only Poyang Jiao knows, how can others shake it out. ”

The captain sighed: "Brother, why are you talking nonsense? Aren't you afraid that I will smash my job?"

"Well, I don't say that. Why did you come to Minjiang in Jiangxi from Poyang Lake?

"Let me tell you the truth, this old man is just tired of the life in the rivers and lakes and doesn't want to get involved in the grudges of the martial arts anymore, so he lives in seclusion on the banks of the Min River. ”

"It seems that if it weren't for the Yuhua Rakshasa that burned your brother's ship, you wouldn't have moved?"

When the leopard heard this, Cuicui looked at each other in amazement.

The leopard didn't know about the White Wave Gang, but Cuicui heard about it.

Bailanggang is a small gang on Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, which has a chivalrous name in the world.

Helping people, although they did not reach the high level of martial arts, all the water was good, but the water kung fu was extremely good.

The boatman said that Poyang Jiao was of course very good in the water, no wonder he was able to kill a few thieves in the water and capture the Yuhua Rakshasa alive.

The eldest brother glanced at Shang Liang and looked up at him with a smile: "The old man doesn't know his shortcomings, he knows very well that a rookie comes out of the beggar gang." Maybe he's my brother?"

Shang Liang smiled: "You are really a debt in June, pay it back quickly!"

Cuicui looked at Shangliang and said, "Okay, because Guanyin has sent you to play tricks on us, like a merchant and a fisherman, and often deceive us." Tell me, what crime have you committed?"

"Ahh

She raised her eyebrows: "What did you say?

"Well, forget I didn't say anything.

The leopard said, "Xiao Cui, stop now!"

He said to the boatman, "Brother Wang, I ......"

Brother Wang immediately said: "Big brother, you remember the future! I am just a person on a boat on the Minjiang River, and I have forgotten everything else!"

One lives in seclusion on the Min River, and the other frolicks in the world.

Leopard said: "Uncle, I mean, because it was we who caused your boat to burn down, we will compensate ......"

Shang Liang shouted again: "This is really a black dog stealing food, and a white dog is a disaster! This boat was destroyed with a Yuhua rakshasa . What does this have to do with you? Besides, the Yuhua Rakshasa has already promised to compensate the ship, so what are you going to pay for? ”

The leopard said, "I, I've always felt sorry. ”

The captain smiled and said, "Little brother, don't say that. While I'm afraid of something, I also know that there is a clear connection between the two. It's none of your business, she has promised to compensate us for her ship! ”

Cuicui asked, "Why don't you feel good?"

Shang Liang replied, "He made a fortune by replacing small boats with large ships and old ships for new ones. Of course, he felt sorry for himself. ”

Cuicui smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, okay!"

The boatman smiled and said, "He's right, we earned it." I'm going to give you this Yuhua Rakshasa and I'm going to see if I can get some out of my burned boat. ”

As he spoke, he patted the acupuncture points of the Yuhua Rakshasa, took his two sailors, jumped into the water, and swam towards the broken boat floating on the river not far away.

The acupuncture points sealed by Yuhua Rakshasa were unraveled, and he soon slowly woke up, feeling a tingling pain all over his body.

She saw herself lying on the ground, while her enemies, the leopard, the Cuicui, and the fisherman, were watching her.

She was startled and wanted to jump, but the internal injuries were so severe that she couldn't jump anymore.

She asked desperately, "You, you ......"

Cuicui smiled and said: "Your life is also great, the Dragon King said that you are too dirty and doesn't want to receive you, so he will give you to us!"

"Y-what do you want?"

"Life and death are up to you. We don't want anything. ”

Shang Liang said next to him, "Ahhh ”

Cuicui asked, "What do you want?"

"Gold, silver, jewelry, I want them all. ”

"You look mercenary!"

"Hey, why don't you clean your mouth? I can't afford to send these two little girls home at a loss and spend money on travel and placement. ”

Cuicui nodded, turned around and asked Yuhua Rakshasa: "The Ma family's jewelry, where do you store it?"

"Didn't I give you a fire to burn?"

"Yes, there are some antique jewelry in the courtyard of the Ma family. You may have forgotten that before I set the fire, I asked some people that your large treasure of gold and silver was not in the stable. As for the curiosities and jewels, I have asked some maids and servants to throw them away for their subsistence expenses. ”

Shang Liang said: "Yes, there is only a small amount of gold and silver in the black hole of Wutong Bridge. Say, "Where are your gold and silver and your jewels?"

Yuhua Rakshasa suddenly flew out with a flying knife and aimed at Shang Liang: "You want gold and silver jewelry, the old lady will give it to you!"

Yuhua Rakshasa was talking while secretly trying his luck.

As soon as she was lucky, she realized that her martial arts had been cut off, which was tantamount to wasting her hard work.

A first-class master in martial arts, martial arts are abandoned, and it is more painful than killing her, and she is also seriously injured, and she asks herself how long she will not live.

She has always been fierce, and after she dies, she can always find someone to take her place.

She took out the only two throwing knives, one to commit suicide, and the other to kill Shang Liang.

A throwing knife flew out, and a throwing knife stabbed him in the stomach.

At this time, Shang Liang saw a flash of white light, and a person like a crane rushed up and overtook the flying knife.

He asked, "Do you want my life?"

Cuicui was startled and furious: "Thief mother-in-law, you are looking for death!"

A sword stabbed out. But Yuhua Rakshasa did not react, and everyone died.

Cuicui stabbed a sword only on a corpse.

Leopard was stunned: "Xiaocui, how did you kill her?"

Shang Liang looked at her and said, "Your Cui brother didn't kill her. She committed suicide. ”

Leopard asked, "How did she kill herself?"

Shang Liang shrugged: "You go and ask her!"

Cuicui said, "She died better!"

Kamira said, "Yes, but I must have lost money." Come, we bury her. ”

Yuhua Rakshasa died, and the Minjiang bullies were really all eradicated.

After they hurriedly buried the Yuhua Rakshasa, the hidden Poyang Lake dumpling Wang Xianghu and two sailors brought the dripping bags and packages ashore.

The captain looked at the pile of new dirt by the lake and asked, "Is she dead?"

Leopard said, "Uncle, she committed suicide. ”

Shang Liang asked mysteriously, "Boatman, have you done anything to her?"

"I! I just scrapped her martial arts. Don't let her hurt anyone else in the future. ”

"No wonder she committed suicide!" "She gave up martial arts, can she still live in the Minjiang area? An ordinary villager can easily kill her!"

"She could have escaped and lived incognito. Now she's dead!"

"You said it so easily, but she almost killed me and went to the grave with her. So she demanded that she be killed without blaming anyone. Come on! Your luggage left on the ship has been rescued from the fire. I'm going to get it out of the water and see what's missing. ”

They had a great deal of silver and gold, not more than six hundred and seven hundred denarii, and two sets of clothes for washing.

If they lose this gold and silver, the three of them will be penniless, and it will be difficult for them to survive.

Cuicui took the burden and said, "Uncle, thank you!"

Shang Liang took the burden and asked, "Where is my wine jar?" Didn't you buy it for me?"

"I'm sorry, but that jar of wine of yours has been taken by the Dragon King, otherwise he would have returned. ”

Cuicui smiled: "You are not the elephant that swallows the snake in your heart, picking up the package you have already considered, and hanging the jar of wine you are looking forward to." ”

"This jar of wine was specially made by my wife. Let me take it to Leshan to honor the Leshan Giant Buddha!"

"Forget it. The Dionysian in your stomach is real. ”

Cuicui said, and everyone laughed.

Together, they walked towards the ship of the Yuhua Rakshasa.

On the boat, Shang Liang said, "Boss Wang, you'd better take a look around the ship." Don't let the boat go to the center of the river to find it, but you can't get to Leshan. ”

"Yes, I want to look around. "The older men of the Whitewater incident did come with two sailors to inspect the ship.

Shang Liang looked at the boat and said, "This boat is much wider and cleaner than before. There are also a few cabins. You can each stay in one room. ”

"Strange people and strange things on the rivers and lakes, strange behaviors for many miles! Don't ask why!"

Cuicui pointed at Shang Liang again and said, "Do you know who he is?"

"Oh, who is he?"

Shang Liang shouted, "Someone is coming." Why don't you eat all the time?"

Qingqing and Cuicui looked into the cabin and the riverbank, and sure enough, they saw two middle-aged men and women dressed as villagers, carrying a bunch of things, and a pair of brothers and sisters, who seemed to be walking towards the boat.

Qingqing asked, "Who are they, and how did we not think of them?"

Cuicui said, "Can't you come to a boat with you, a person who does business?"

The leopard said suspiciously, "This is not a ferry! They're here to take a boat?

But the four men and four women still came over, and Shang Liang suddenly said, "No! they came to ask me for money." ”

Leopard was stunned: "Do you collect debts? What debt do you owe to them, uncle?"

Cuicui said: "Don't you listen to his nonsense, is there such a person who brings things and takes children to collect debts?"

Qingqing said, "Yes! How did the debt collector know that you were on the ship?"

Shang Liang said, "Why don't you believe me? They really want my money." I need to get out of here. When they come up, don't say I'm here. ”

The leopard asked, "Uncle, what debt do you owe?"

"Endless debts".

"Is there such a debt?" asked Cuicui.

"My dear little ancestor, don't ask! They are about to get on board! You should also take refuge, leaving only the young brothers. ”

Cuicui asked again, "Why should we avoid it?"

Yamaji didn't answer again, ran into the room and hid.

Cuicui said, "What trick did he play again?"

Bao'er said: "Maybe Uncle Shangliang owes them money, and they won't come back for a while." Let's pay back Uncle Shang. ”

Cuicui said, "If he owes someone a human life, how can you pay it back for him?"

The leopard was stunned: "Can't!"

Four men and one woman got on the boat, as if they knew that Shang Liang was on the boat. They didn't ask any questions.

Qingqing stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man's attitude was not only sincere, but also respectfully said: "Young master, we are here to find a benefactor!"

"Benefactor? We don't have a benefactor on board. Uncle, are you in the wrong place?"

The villagers hurriedly said, "He doesn't have a surname." ”

"What's the name?"

"I, I don't know his name, I don't know anything, but I see him and you on board. ”

Qingqing wondered, how can the person who collects the debt not know what the surname of the debtor is?

What a debt!

The woman behind her hurriedly said, "Young Master, my man is stupid and can't speak, we have to thank my great benefactor." ”

Emerald Green couldn't help but look at each other with Qingqing and Leopard, and asked, "What kind of favor does he have for your family?"

"He saved our children and gave us back graciously. ”

Qingqing, Cuicui and Leopard, this is how it is true!

Cuicui thought to herself: This business is also true, people come to thank him, how can he say that people are collecting debts?

He said, "Uncle, aunt, he's gone!" The farmer and his wife were stunned.

"Is he gone?" said their fourteen-fifteen-year-old daughter, suddenly, "Daddy!"

He pointed to Leopard and Cuicui and said, "They are also the daughters and brothers of the great benefactor. He sent us home and released us from the prison of stone. ”

The girl next to the little boy also recognized Leopard and Cuicui, and said, "Dad, Mom, and Sister are not wrong, it's them!" It was my brother who came, and he told me not to cry, that he was here to save us. ”

The two hurriedly bowed to Leopard and Cuicui and said, "It turns out that both of you are my great benefactors. I'm kowtowing to you! I hope you ......."

The leopard was in such a hurry, no one had ever given him such a big gift.

Cuicui hurriedly helped them: "Ah! Don't do that, it will ruin our lives!"

The leopard said, "Yes! Hurry up, it's going to ruin our lives! Then we understand why Shang Liang told them to avoid it! It's worse than fundraising." If I had known, I wouldn't be with Shang Liang.

The peasant woman's words seemed to be better than her husband's, and she said, "These two benefactors not only saved our children, but also the lives of my parents-in-law. Ever since my son and daughter disappeared, my father-in-law was very worried that he was sick! If something happens to my parents-in-law, the little woman doesn't want to live! Our two protectors saved my family, how can my husband and I not give in?"

As they knelt, two children knelt behind them.

The little boy patted his head.

The leopard picked him up: "Alright, alright!"

Cuicui said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, and you all get up." ”

The couple got up and said, "We have chosen food, water, and wine to show respect to our benefactor and the boatman." ”

In this way, Leopard, Qingqing and Cuicui, only then did they remember that they had not eaten since last night.

It turned out that the boatman wanted to use fire to cook, but he ran into Yuhua Rakshasa again, and the fierce life-and-death struggle made him forget that he was hungry.

Now it is the most honorable thing to bring dinner to the couple.

Cuicui asked, "How do you know we haven't eaten yet?"

The peasant woman said: "We have seen our benefactor get out of danger safely on the hillside. You must be hungry!, so they quickly made it a little respectful to my husband and wife, and at the same time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law preferred my benefactor to stay at my house after dinner to pay their respects.

Unfortunately, one of our benefactors is gone, and we can't thank him enough. ”
