Chapter 108: On the Xunyang River

Since leaving Zhuxian Town, Zhu Biao and his party of six people went straight to the south, after the tenth month, when passing through Huaixi, Zhu Biao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, took a detour, and went to Jiangzhou.

On the bank of the Xunyang River, the river is crossing, the waves are surging, Zhu Biao and his party are standing on the beachhead of the river, and the cool river breeze is blowing, which makes Lu Fang shiver and say to Zhu Biao.

"Childe, why did we give up our horses and come to this river to take a boat?"

Zhu Biao tightened his collar for Xiao Zaixing, and did not answer, but Zhu Wu on the side smiled slightly, and took over the words: "Childe is fishing." ”

"The current at this beachhead is very fast, where can you fish, that is the place to fish." Lu Fang frowned slightly, pointed to the reeds not far away and said.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao and Zhu Wu looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't answer, which made Lu Fang confused, and turned to Wu Song beside him.

"Second Brother Wu, why didn't you speak today?"

Wu Song's eyes at this time were looking at the place where Lu Fang was pointing, as a top person in the world's martial arts, Wu Song's eyes and ears were not comparable to Lu Fang, and the outline of the canopy boat could be vaguely seen in the reeds, and a man dressed as a man was looking through the gap between the reeds.

An idea flashed through his mind, but Wu Song laughed the same, turned his head to Lu Fang and quipped, "I think this beachhead is a good place for fishing." ”

Lu Fang was stunned by Wu Song's words, and was about to respond, but he heard his son-in-law say faintly: "The fish has been hooked." ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he looked towards the river, and a canopy boat shook out of the dry reeds just now, and at the stern of the boat, a male wearing a hat on his head, holding an artemisia rod, a seven-foot body with triangular eyes, yellow hair, red hair and red eyes, the captain shook the artemisia rod rhythmically under the water, and the canopy boat sailed steadily towards the shore without hurrying.

After docking, I heard the captain say to Zhu Biao and the others: "A few guest officers, but you want to cross the river?" ”

"I'm about to cross the river, and I'm tired of the boatman taking me for a ride." Zhu Wu and Zhu Biao looked at each other and arched their hands towards the captain.

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, the captain's eyes swept towards Zhu Biao and the others intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile on his face: "At this time, the wind and waves on the river are high, there are few ships, and several guest officers want to cross the river, but the silver money is more. ”

"The money is fine, and I will be with you more after crossing the river." Zhu Wuhun waved his hand absently, casually waterways.

The captain smiled and nodded, took out a plank from the cabin, put it on the beach, and asked Zhu Biao and others to get on the boat, and when Zhu Biao and his party got on the boat, the captain swept his eyes into the reeds behind him, pretended to take the plank, and listened to a voice behind him.

"Boatman, wait a minute, take someone across the river."

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that a man with a figure of sixteen feet five or six was about to run to the shore, this man was about thirty years old, Sanliu covered his mouth with black hair, wrapped a green gauze scarf on his head, and covered his heart with a red mustache, wearing a white cloth shirt with a collar, a silk arm tied around his waist, and a heavy package in his hand.

When the man got on the boat, the captain took the plank, stood at the stern, and the artemisia rod in his hand rippled back and forth a few times, and the canopy boat sailed towards the center of the river like an arrow off the string.

After a while, far away from the river bank, I saw the captain swinging the oar, and his eyes swept towards the man who got on the boat behind, but he sang:

"The old man grew up by the river, and he is not afraid of lawsuits or the sky.

Last night, Huaguang came to take advantage of me and took a gold brick before leaving. ”

Zhu Biao and his entourage sat in the cabin, heard the voice, but looked at each other and smiled, only to see the captain put down the oar, threw a nail into the cabin, and inserted a sharp knife in the board, stood up from the boat, put the eaves of the cabin, and sneered: "A few guest officers, the waves in the center of this river are too big, and if you want to cross the river at this time, one person needs to get three times to get money." ”

These words fell, and before Zhu Biao and a few people answered, they heard the man who got on the boat say: "I went to Jiangzhou to sell some local goods, and at this time I have less silver money, but how can I have three dollars with you, there are many boatmen on the Xunyang River who support the ferry, how can there be a price like you." ”

"There's no money, but it's easy to do without money."

The man smiled sadly, and threw himself at the man who spoke, grabbed his head with one hand, and held his waist and crotch with the other, and threw himself down into the river.

Seeing that the man was drowning in the water, the captain tore off the hypocritical mask, turned his head to Zhu Biao and his party and said coldly: "Seeing that you and the others are dressed extraordinarily, they must also be the profiteers who harm the people, and they are in the hands of the master today!" Are you waiting to eat bandao noodles? Or do you want to eat ravioli? ”

"If you want to make fun of the boatman, how can you call it a plate knife face? How is ravioli? When Zhu Wu heard this, he smiled, and asked lightly.

The captain stared, saw Zhu Wu smiling, felt humiliated, and said angrily: "The master has no time to play birds with you!" If you want to eat the board knife noodles, I have a quick knife under this board, I only cut one by one, and I will chop you and wait for the water. When you want to eat wontons, you will quickly take off your clothes and jump into the river to die naked! ”

"If grandpa doesn't eat your chaos and bandao noodles, and doesn't want to spend money with you, what can you do with grandpa?" Wu Song heard the extremely rampant words of the captain, his eyes froze, and he stared at the grandfather and said coldly.

When the captain heard this, he laughed instead of being angry, and said: "The master knows that people like you rely on force to support their bodies, so they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, even if you are the land tiger, you need to know the dragon of grandpa when you go to this water." ”

Zhu Biao listened to all the words of this father-in-law, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said to the father-in-law: "I heard that there is a good man on the Xunyang River, who has not been on the water surface for forty or fifty miles, and has been lying under the water for seven days and seven nights, and is called the white strip in the waves-Zhang Shun, and he also has a brother, who is a prop-on on the Xunyang River, and is called a boat fire-Zhang Heng, I don't know if the boat family has ever heard of these two brothers?" ”

When the captain heard this, his hair rose up, and he said to Zhu Biao in a daze: "Who are you?" How do I know the names of my brothers? ”

"Since the boatman said this, I think you are the fire of the boat, and it is your brother who was thrown into the water just now." Zhu Biao looked straight at the captain and said meaningfully.

This ship is just the boat fire Zhang Heng, at this time his heart is seven up and eight down, in the past on the Xunyang River to do no business, no disadvantage, but never thought that today encountered a hard stubble.

Zhang Heng looked at Zhu Biao seriously, no longer treating him as an ordinary businessman, but also patient, arched his hand towards Zhu Biao, and said: "Please also ask Your Excellency to give me a name, so that Zhang Heng can see which hero he met today." ”

"Listen up, my son-in-law is from Yunzhou, Shandong, surnamed Zhu Xingsan, and the rivers and lakes are called Taishan Jun, but they can't eat your bandao noodles and chaos." Lu Fang glanced at Zhang Heng contemptuously and said arrogantly.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he pushed Jinshan and fell down on the board of the ship, and said straightly: "My master!" Why didn't Childe get a big name as soon as possible, so that I could almost do something bad, and make a certain brother and two brothers laugh at by the heroes of the world! ”

Zhu Biao listened to it and was about to answer, but he heard the sound of babbling and dumb oars on the river, breaking the waves and riding the wind, and a fast boat seemed to be rocking down from the top of the water.

There were three people on board: a large man with a fork in his hand standing on the bow of the boat; The two offspring at the tip of the head, shaking two fast oars, and after a while, they came to the front.
