In a narrow wharf in the upper reaches of the Quluo River, here is the wharf of Xiaochang'an Town on the Quluo River, where several boatmen's boats are moored.

The current here is relatively fast, so there are not many boat stops.

Zhang Zhiliang saw that there was a boat that was more familiar, so he asked the boatman to lean the boat over.

When I got closer, I saw two familiar figures sitting on the boat. Overjoyed, he shouted: "Sister!"

The two girls with dish-faced faces looked up in astonishment, then overjoyed, and shouted:

"Ah Liang, it's you!

"Brother, I can see you!".

Zhang Zhiliang didn't wait for the boat to approach, he jumped up, flew five or six feet away, and landed on his own boat.

When the Zhang sisters saw their brother who had been separated for several years, they suddenly stood in front of them, they became tall and strong, most of their hearts were happy, and at the same time they had mixed feelings, the two girls were crying and laughing, but Zhang Zhiliang was grinning.

Chen De and the boat family watched the reunion of their relatives and were moved by the strong and warm family affection.

After his sisters calmed down, Zhang Zhiliang asked his sister Zhang Zhiyu, "Sister, where is my father and second brother?"

Zhang Zhiyu said with a worried face: "My father and second brother went to Xiaochang'an Town to sell fish, and they have been going for a long time, so they should have come back a long time ago." If my father hadn't forbade me and my little sister to leave the boat, we'd have gone to the town to find them. ”

At this time, Chen De, who was standing behind Zhang Zhiliang, had the experience of looking for Xiang Xuanlin's family last time, and he had a better understanding of the dangers in the troubled times.

He had a bad premonition and said to Zhang Zhiliang: "Ah Liang, come to the town and have a look." ”

This time, Zhang Zhiliang was reminded, and without saying a word, he immediately launched his body and rushed to the shore.

Chen De hurriedly followed him and rushed towards Xiao Chang'an Town.

The town of Xiaochang'an is not big or small, just by the Quluo River. A road that leads from the town's main street, down a long slope, leads to the pier by the river.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of passers-by on the road, the two sped all the way to the town's main street.

I saw five or six people walking in the direction of the town office, followed by some people who were silently watching the excitement.

The two of them had sharp eyes, and they immediately saw that the two people who were twisted were the Zhang family father and son.

Zhang Zhiliang suddenly accelerated and roared through the street.

In a few breaths, it was already behind Zhang Tingyuan and the others.

The scabbard in his left hand and the knife in his right hand struck both men almost simultaneously.

With Zhang Zhiliang's strength, how can the two of them withstand it.

With the slight sound of bone breaking, the two of them screamed in pain, and they couldn't help but let go of Zhang Tingyuan.

The two people who twisted Zhang Zhiliang's second brother next to him just shouted: "Who is the murderer, he dares to commit murder!"

I felt a flower in front of me, and then, a sharp pain came from my arm, and I couldn't help but let go of Zhang Zhiliang's second brother.

The father and son of the Zhang family also just saw that it was Zhang Zhiliang who rescued them, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly flashed behind Zhang Zhiliang.

Seeing the Chen De they were familiar with again, the two of them were more relieved.

At this time, the two people who had been walking in front turned around.

One of them was the town guard of Xiao Chang'an Town, and the other person with a weapon was the town guard's subordinate and the leader of the four people whose hands were broken.

The town guard shouted: "The bold murderer, he actually injured the prisoner and robbed the prisoner, are you looking for death!"

The man with the weapon was also a practitioner, and when he heard the words of the town guard, he understood and knew that the town guard asked him to let go of his hands and feet.

After he drew his knife, he fiercely slashed at Zhang Zhiliang.

His skills were among the best within a radius of fifty miles, and he didn't take the tall boy in front of him seriously.

When Zhang Zhiliang heard the word "prisoner", his heart was even more angry.

Without saying a word, draw the knife and progress, first swing to the left, and then progress to the right and slash diagonally.

Zhang Zhiliang comprehended the sword momentum of the Bahuan Knife earlier than Chen De.

The rage made his sword stronger.

The onlookers just felt that their eyes were slight, and after the sound of "bang", the head and left shoulder of one of them had been cut off.

The town guard, since he took refuge in Dazhu people, after sitting in this position, he has always only seen his subordinates cut people in the countryside of forced buying and selling, rampant and domineering, and fish and meat in the township, and now suddenly, the strongest one of his subordinates was cut down, and he was so shocked that he muttered incoherently: "You, you ,......"

Seeing that the town guard pointed at himself with his finger, Zhang Zhiliang didn't stop doing it, and stepped forward with a knife, making him head in a different place.

The bystanders saw that two people died in the blink of an eye, and with a "boom", they immediately scattered in all directions. Including the four of the townkeeper's men whose hands were broken.

In a moment, only the Zhang family, father and son and Chen De were standing on the street, and the street where people originally came and went was empty at this time.

Zhang Tingyuan saw that his third son was so brave, and he was relieved, and he didn't panic.

Zhang Zhiliang had time to ask his father what was going on.

It turned out that the boat people were having a hard time.

There has been no rice grain on the Zhangjia boat for many days, and the four of them live a hungry and full life.

Yesterday, the father and son soaked in the icy river water, and finally caught four blue-bearded stone catfish in the Quluo River.

Father and son are very happy because it is what they rely on to get through this difficult time.

Therefore, today I rushed to Xiaochang'an Town, ready to sell the fish, and bring back enough rice and grain for the boat.

Because, this blue-bearded stone catfish hides in the stone crevices and rocks in the river, and specializes in eating shrimp, crabs, and small fish, with no scales and small spines on the whole body, and the fish meat is delicate*, fresh and sweet, and it is the top river fresh in the Quluo River, and it is not easy to catch.

These four blue-whiskered stone catfish can be sold for about two taels of silver in total. It can allow the Zhang family to change to enough rice noodles for winter.

There are some wealthy big families in Xiaochang'an Town, as well as wealthy businessmen, who can consume this top-level river fresh blue-whiskered stone catfish.

When the father and son were bargaining with others, the town guard inserted himself into the crowd and insisted on buying all four blue-bearded stone catfish for 500 yuan.

On weekdays, the father and son of the Zhang family have encountered this person who buys and sells, but they all swallow their anger and tolerate him.

But this time is different, the Zhang family is now not only out of rice and grain, but also counting on the silver taels that these four blue-bearded stone catfish can sell for this winter's rations.

However, the town guard said that he wanted to take these four blue-whiskered stone catfish to entertain the Dazhu military master who came to collect grain, and he had to buy these four blue-whiskered stone catfish at this price.

The father and son of the Zhang family, who were hungry and angry, refused to sell the four blue-bearded stone catfish like this.

After the town guard dropped the five hundred yuan, he asked two of his subordinates to grab the fish basket.

The father and son of the Zhang family fought with those two, but they were not opponents because they were hungry and weak, and the four blue-bearded stone catfish were snatched away.

The father and son of the Zhang family picked up the five hundred yuan indignantly and prepared to buy some rice and noodles.

The town guard actually brought a few more people over, and wanted to arrest the two of them and take them to the squatting room in the name of tax resistance.
