Early the next morning, the two took their horses to the inn and hurried to the ferry. In the middle of summer, the sky dawns early, a red sun has risen, and the fog on the lake is gradually dissipating. Wang Hou suddenly shouted, "Changbo, why are you here?" What a coincidence! ”

I saw Wang Changbo hurriedly walking towards the ferry, and when he heard someone calling him, he looked at it intently, and he was also very happy: "Wang Hou! Are you really okay? I was scared to death last time, but then I heard that Dumb crawled to your house with a strip of cloth wrapped around his leg, saying that you were okay...... Where have you been? ”

"Dumb saved me...... By the way, how did you do on the children's exam? "I just came to see the results, and the results were second-class, so it's okay...... If you don't have an accident, you will definitely do better than me. "Alas, don't talk about me, then you have to prepare well and strive for better results in the township exam next year."

While the three of them were talking, they got on the boat with everyone, and Wang Hou introduced Liu Hanyan to Wang Changbo, and the two said hello, but there were not many words.

Wang Hou walked out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the ship, remembering that more than a month ago, he was also blown away by a tornado on the bow of the ship, and now he is standing here again, although it is only more than 40 days, it seems that several years have passed. Liu Hanyan also walked out of the cabin and held Wang Hou's arm: "Nerd, this lake is much calmer than the sea we have there." ”

Wang Hou sighed: "If it was really calm, I wouldn't have met you...... Yan'er, you see that the surface of this lake is calm at this time, but if the wind and waves rise, it will also make people afraid, just like ...... It's like when you get angry, it's scary...... Oops! But it was Liu Hanyan who twisted his arm and said with a smile: "Let you talk nonsense, if you don't mess with me, I will listen to you." ”

In the evening, when the boat arrived at Bianwang Village, Wang Hou pulled Liu Hanyan and jumped ashore, but heard her scream: "Turtle, what a big turtle, nerd, is it the dumb you said?" ”

Sure enough, Dumb was lying on the shore, looking here, grinning at Wang Hou, Liu Hanyan only shouted: "So cute, so cute!" Wang Hou ran forward, picked up Dumb and ran to the village, and Liu Hanyan shouted behind him: "Nerd, what are you doing so fast, let me hug ......"

Wang Yuanwai and Wang Li had just come back from planting seedlings in the field, and when they heard Wang Hou's voice, Wang Yuanwai was stunned there, and Wang Li walked out, beat Wang Hou's shoulder, and cried: "Hou'er, where have you been, my mother is worried about death, if it weren't for the dumb letter, would your father and I still live?" ”

Wang Hou also shed tears: "Father, mother, the child encountered a tornado, if it wasn't for Dumb to save me, I would ......" Wang Yuanwai said for a long time: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Wang Hou introduced Liu Hanyan to his father and four sisters, and Wang Li took Liu Hanyan's hand and praised repeatedly: "What a classy girl." Wang Yuanwai was also happy in his heart, and he immediately arranged for food. Wang Hou took Liu Hanyan to the house of the third uncle and other relatives and friends to greet them one by one, and the whole village was filled with joy.

Changmei has married to another village, Changzhi and Liu Hanyan talked very speculatively, and the two lived together at night, and they didn't know what to say. However, the prince lost all his active temperament, and followed Dumb three times one step at a time.

Wang Hou looked up at the familiar night sky, mixed feelings, what happened in more than 40 days, scene by scene in his mind: March 28, took a boat to take the children's test, but did not expect to be swept into the lake, fortunately was rescued by Dumb, entered Wang Qiao Dongqi and obtained green stone foot pads and "four types of communication"; More than 20 days later, on April 21, in Wuhu County, he met Yan'er's brothers and sisters because of the night pearl he inadvertently took out.

Then it was on the way to Jiuhua Mountain, first met the four monks of Jiuhua Xizong in Fanchang, saved Yan'er and others, and then met Zhang Qingling and the abbot of Guangjing in Tongling, and on the seventh day of the fifth month in Qingyang, he knew the big idiot Taoist and the monk, and he fought with Guangjing, so that his "four ways of communication" were improved; On the ninth day of the fifth month, he accidentally met Uncle Zhu on Jiuhua Mountain, and helped the little monk Daofeng get the nine-colored lotus...... Thinking about it at this time, I feel emotional. I suddenly remembered Zhu Ziping, for so many years, I have meditated and practiced qi with him every night, I don't know what happened to him outside?

☆☆☆☆☆ [Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan are the No. 1 male and No. 1 female guests in this article, if you only pay attention to them, please skip directly to Chapter 40. 】

Zhu Ziping was in great trouble at this time. Zhu Ziping, Yan Yue, and Ouyang Lan came out of Zhujia Village and rented a carriage to go to Xi'an Mansion, but Jiuhua Xizong did not follow them along the way. More than 20 days later, the carriage left Xixia County, Henan Province, Yan Yue was very happy: "Big brother, sister Ouyang, we have arrived in Xi'an Prefecture, and we can reach it in ten days, and Shangnan County is in front, and we will rest there tonight." ”

The carriage walked in the shallow hills and hills, and after a while, he saw the city wall, Yan Yue seemed to be very familiar, and after entering the city, he directly asked the coachman to drive the car to an inn in the northwest corner of the county, and after dinner, the coachman was sleepy all day, and went to bed early.

Yan Yue introduced: "I know that there is a Qin family compound here, there is a singing opera every night, the last time I came, I stayed here for five days, it is very good, since I am here tonight, let's go and listen?" ”

Ouyang Lan looked excited: "I also heard that the Bangzi dialect here is very famous, and the performance skills and body are self-contained, so let's go now." ”

Zhu Ziping was not interested: "I don't understand those dramas, I just accompanied you in Lu'an Prefecture last time, and now that I'm here, there shouldn't be any danger, you can go by yourself, it's better to be closer." Ouyang Lan blushed: "Big brother will laugh at me." I was embarrassed to say more, so I pulled Yan Yue out of the door.

It was already dark when the three of them rested, and it was even more late. After Yan Yue and Ouyang Lan left, Zhu Ziping meditated up when he was idle, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a woman's cry from next door, mixed with the creaking sound of the bed board. The woman screamed again and again, and then seemed to cry: "Third master, spare me...... No, no, I'm going to die, ah......" A bang, bang, bang, bang" sounded in my ears.

Zhu Ziping was secretly angry: "Who is bullying women?" He jumped out of bed and walked out the door, slapping the door next door. A man's voice asked, "Who?" Do?! Zhu Ziping snorted coldly: "Shameless, get out of here!" ”

In a moment, the door opened, a bright light stabbed over, Zhu Ziping had already taken precautions, took a step back to avoid the blade, the sunrise was raised, and a move "Hanging Beam Thorn" hit the steel knife, "Dang" The steel knife fell to the ground, and the foot did not stop, raised a kick and kicked the person in the lower abdomen, and the person bent down and fell to the ground "Ah".

"Y-What are you doing?" A woman asked in a trembling voice. "Girl, are you alright?" "What can I do...... Why did you kill my third master? "What, your third master?" Zhu Ziping was stunned for a moment, and continued, "That girl, why did you cry just now to spare your life?" ”

"Phew!" The woman in the room lit the lamp, ran to the door with messy hair, leaned over and hugged the third master, and shouted, "Third master, third master, wake up, don't scare me......"

After a while, the third master slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Zhu Ziping, he couldn't help but be furious: "Where did the wild boy come from, he dared to beat me, you wait and see!" Ouch ......"

Zhu Ziping stood there and saw that the third master was about forty years old, with three locks of beard, and several layers of fat on his bare upper body, obviously born rich and noble. The woman is about thirty years old, her clothes are disheveled, and her eyes are flowing, but she is full of charm. Looking at the current appearance of the two, it is not like a woman being bullied, Zhu Ziping vaguely felt that he had done something wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong, hearing the third master shouting angrily, he secretly said If I didn't know some martial arts, wouldn't I be easily killed by your knife? He didn't answer at the moment and turned back to his room.

The woman helped the third master to the bed, only to hear him holding his stomach and not stopping**: "I will never spare it...... The kid...... Humph......"

When Yan Yue and Ouyang Lan came back from watching the play, they heard the humming next door and asked strangely, "Big brother, is the person next door sick?" Wasn't it good before? Zhu Ziping told him what had happened before, Yan Yue couldn't stop laughing, but Ouyang Lan was so ashamed that she turned her head and ran back to her room. Zhu Ziping scratched his head and asked, "Second brother, what are you laughing at?" ”

On the second day, the three of them continued to hurry, and the coachman was quite familiar with the road conditions in this area.

In the carriage, Yan Yue remembered what happened last night, but he still couldn't stop laughing, Zhu Ziping grew up with his father since he was a child, where did he know that these men and women love, listening to what Yan Yue said, he also didn't know much about it. Ouyang Lan was holding a pack of local specialty "Shangnan chestnuts" in her hand, and seeing that Yan Yue was still laughing at Zhu Ziping, she took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, and took out another handful and handed it to Zhu Ziping: "Brother Zhu, don't listen to his nonsense...... This chestnut tastes very good, and it can also strengthen the spleen and appetize, strengthen the muscles and invigorate the blood, you can taste a few more. ”

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the official road, and the carriage turned into a forest, and suddenly the coachman "called the ......" and pulled the reins, and the horse "sighed" and raised its front hooves, and the carriage stopped. Zhu Ziping lifted the curtain of the carriage, but saw more than a dozen people standing on the road ahead, with a pigmented towel wrapped in their heads, each holding a single knife, the blade of the knife was more than three feet long, the upper body was straight, the lower body was slightly curved, and it was shining brightly.

The one who drove the car was an old Jianghu, and when he saw that the posture was wrong, he quickly jumped out of the car and squatted on the side of the road with his head in his hands. I only heard a man with a big waist and a long beard shouting: "Boy, if you hurt our third master, you can't come down and die!" Another person also shouted in a rough voice: "Hall Master Zhang told you to get down, are you deaf?" ”

Zhu Ziping jumped out of the carriage and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" A little man cried out, "Yes, by you...... It's not worthy of asking me, who are we, next year...... This, at this time, ......" that Zhang Tangzhu interrupted him: "Chen Xiaohou, you tell this kid to stand up and tell him who we are!" ”
