Early the next morning.

Outside the house, in the middle of winter, the cold wind was biting, blowing on the face, like a knife cutting.

Inside the house, the charcoal fire burned vigorously, warm, drove away the cold, and made the people who came in feel alive again.

After the visitor closed the door, he shook off the frost, rubbed his hands, and walked slowly to the bed.

The candle flame beeped and blew, illuminating the faces of the visitors.

The sturdy body, angular face, and bright silver ring around his neck made him look extraordinarily straight, and his whole body exuded a heroic temperament.

Glancing at Brother Xun who was pouting on the bed, he put away his smile and coughed.

At this time, Brother Xun raised his head, his eyes had become red and swollen because of tears, and he looked extremely scary.

"It's leap earth!"

Seeing the person clearly, Brother Xun'er's face immediately flashed with joy, but then he realized his embarrassing posture, and quickly lowered his head to hide the strange color in his eyes.

"Hmm!"

Meng Ke nodded, his gaze swept over Brother Xun'er's swollen buttocks, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You're ......"

Brother Xun didn't want to show his cowardice in front of his friends, so he quickly pretended not to care and explained: "It's not a big deal, it just made my father angry and was slapped a few times by him." ”

As he spoke, he stole a glance at his swollen ass.

Meng Ke, who didn't know about it, said that this was Brother Xun'er's family affair, and there was nothing to say.

"There are three days of the great sacrifice, and today is the third day, and I will leave today after the end."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

In an instant, Brother Xun'er's eyes darkened.

Although the two have only known each other for two days, Brother Xun, who has never made friends, already regards each other as best friends.

It is precisely because of this that he will fight against his father for Meng Ke.

"Well, take care all the way." Brother Xun nodded slightly, his eyes were full of reluctance, and even faintly reddened.

This parting, maybe another year, right?

Not sure when we'll be able to meet again?

"We are friends! I won't forget you, you can come to the county seat to play when you have time. ”

After that, Brother Xun also deliberately took out the small slingshot sent by Meng Ke from under the pillow.

Seeing this, Meng Ke looked a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he endured it and only said, "Okay." As long as I have time, I'll go play with you! ”

"Hmm. Deal! ”

Brother Xun grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"It's a deal!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the gears of fate were deviating a little bit.

......

At the confluence of the Cao'e River and the Qiantang River, the snow is drifting in the sky, and in the sky, only countless snowflakes are left circling and flying.

It's a blizzard.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is the estuary where the two rivers meet, I am afraid that a thin layer of ice would have formed on the surface of the river like the upstream.

On both sides of the Cao'e River, the leaves have turned yellow, falling with the snowflakes, the reeds on both sides of the bank fall like snow, and the egrets jumping in the meantime, looking around pleasantly, but the winter is getting tighter.

The reeds are covered with a thick layer of snow for several kilometers, and if you step on it, you will fall into a shallow pit of about a foot, which is enough to see how thick the snow is.

In winter nights, the humidity condenses when it meets the cold

The mist ice hanging on the reed flowers and reed leaves is crystal clear, and the earth is dressed in silver, which really has a different kind of beauty!

But under the beautiful scenery, there are fierce 'beasts' lurking, once they find their prey, they will mercilessly kill, devour their blood and flesh, making this beautiful picture cruel and bloody.

It's like a Jedi that never returns, so that fishermen and merchant ships never dare to approach.

"Gollum ......"

Between the rivers and the sky, I don't know when there was a gurgling sound from the reeds, and the gurgling sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was wriggling inside.

The 'beasts' in the reeds and reeds are like smelling the smell of human beings, and they are rushing to this place.

Soon, wooden boats poured out of the reeds, and those wooden boats were tied with canvases, and a few big characters were written on the canvas with a brush, such as "the lord of the Dongting water in Bahaili" and "for the way of heaven", which looked quite like the appearance of Liangshan in the Water Margin.

Obviously, this is the 'beast' hidden in the reeds above.

They are the nightmare of all the boatmen on both sides of the Cao'e River.

"Who's in person? Why is there the code of our Dongting Water Village? ”

On a wooden boat, a burly, dark-skinned man with a harpoon shouted at the shore.

In the reeds, one after another canopy boats slowly rowed out, and two figures, one large and one small, were slowly revealed on the deck.

"It's me, Li Dayan!"

He was dressed in a wide coat and carried a short halberd, and he looked quite imposing.

Where is there a heroic shortness of breath like that day when talking to the leper monkey?

It seems that the big leader of the water bandits who crisscross the cave has returned.

Li big eyes?!

When the dozen or so people on the wooden boat heard his name on it, they immediately became suspicious, and they all looked at the pile of reeds, as if to determine whether it was the man.

"It's really a big boss!"

"It's the boss, this is the boss!"

Exclamations of surprise came from the pile of reeds.

"Silence! Shut up! ”

At the same time, a loud shout came from the wooden boat, and a group of sailors was immediately silenced.

It was the swarthy man from before who made the sound.

"Who did you just call the big boss?! The one in the water village is the big leader! And he is just a villain who turns his back on his brother. ”

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this is indeed true, and the water bandits, who claim to put righteousness first, are not all filthy.

It has been several years since Li Dayan washed his hands and returned to the people, and this gang of bandits has already elected a new boss.

"At the beginning, this guy led his brothers to rob the Dharma field for the sake of a snitch, and how many brothers did he lose?"

"I also took my brothers to leave their hometowns and come from the mighty Dongting Lake in Bahaili to this corner of the reeds!"

"It's just a matter of coming, the big guy is used to being free and casual by nature, and it's okay to be at peace with what happens. As a result, in a few years, you will have to wash your hands and leave your burden? ”

"Now you still have the face to come back?!"

The more the swarthy strong man spoke, the more excited he became, his chest rose and fell, his heart burned with rage, his fists clenched, and the harpoon in his hand trembled.

And Li Dayan's face was not good-looking.

He did all these things.

I really can't argue with that.

"Get the boat over! I will kill this traitor on behalf of my dead brothers! ”

The swarthy man suddenly roared.

"Yes!"

On the wooden boat he was on, the sailors immediately replied.

"I'm just here to hide for a while, not to re-emerge."

Li Dayan's face sank suddenly, his cold eyes stared at the swarthy man, and his whole body burst out with a terrifying murderous aura.

The swarthy man did not show weakness, snorted coldly, and did not flinch.

"These things, you tell Lord Yama to go!"

All the unstable factors that can shake the rule of the village owner must be completely killed!
