A man came out of the bushes: "Little girl, let's save each other once, it's a tie." "The speaker was fat, it was Hu Tatar, and it turned out that he had been waiting outside.

Just now forgot to hug each other, and was interrupted by him, Tang Xiao hurriedly broke free of Ye Suiyun's arm, his face was crimson, and said: "You old Hu, you don't say anything when you come out, it's scary." ”

Hu Tartar didn't know why, why did he have to say it to come out. Tang Xiao said to Ye Suiyun: "This rat Lao Bai was raised by him." ”

Ye Suiyun hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for the kindness of your predecessors for saving you." Hu Tatar's head shook violently, and said: "That's Lao Bai saving you, I can't rob him of his favor, if you want to thank him, go to thank Lao Bai." ”

Ye Suiyun froze in place, thinking that he was joking, Tang Xiao stuck out his tongue and said, "You're right." He turned around and squatted down and said to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, good Lao Bai, thank you for saving your life." As he spoke, he patted the rat on the back. Lao Bai squeaked again, which was an answer. Ye Suiyun also hurriedly learned to reach out and touch it, but he didn't know that Lao Baili ignored it and crawled aside, only hanging him somewhere.

Tang Xiao covered his mouth and laughed, turned his head and asked, "How do you know that I am in trouble, and it is too timely to come." ”

Hu Tar rolled his eyes and said, "It's archery again, it's arson again, who can't hear such a big movement." He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." ”

Tang Xiaoqi said: "What to take?" Hu Tartar said: "You saved me once, and today I will save you once, which is considered to be even, none of us owe anyone, and the things that were sent to you should be returned." ”

Tang Xiao was relieved, it turned out that he was talking about the gadget he gave him last time. Although he didn't need this thing, Tang Xiao was in a happy mood at this time, and couldn't help but tease Hu Tatar, tease him, and said: "But you obviously said that Lao Bai saved me, and it has nothing to do with you, so it means that you still owe me a personal favor, how can you just ask for something back?" If you want to say our words, at most you owe Lao Bai, what do you say? ”

Hu Tatar was stunned and speechless, so he had to retract his hand and say, "What you say is reasonable." After saying hello to Lao Bai, he made a movement on the ground with his hand, and the whole person suddenly fell into the ground, and Lao Bai followed closely behind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tang Xiao hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go, I'm joking, if you want to take it back." The two of them stepped forward to see that the place where one person and one mouse disappeared turned out to be a hole in the ground. Ye Suiyun was puzzled, how could Hu Tatar's fat body be able to drill in this small hole, it was really incomprehensible.

Tang smiled: "This person is also running fast, and he can't finish his words, what am I going to do with this Laoshzi thing." Holding the small cloth bag in his hand, he was at a loss.

Ye Suiyun took it and opened it to take a look, and there was a white bead the size of longan inside, and the material was neither gold nor jade, so he couldn't say why for a while. He wrapped the things and returned them to Tang with a smile: "You put it away, look at the appearance of Senior Hu, this thing is very important to him, and you will return it to its original owner next time we meet." Tang smiled and nodded, "I'll just listen to you." With that, he carefully put it away. Unexpectedly, they heard a faint voice in the distance, although the distance was quite far, but the two did not dare to stop, and hurriedly left in the opposite direction of the sound.

Not long after walking, I turned a long grass and suddenly saw a man and a woman, who were just in the middle of the road. The man stood with his hands behind his back, and the woman wore a green shirt with one hand on her cheek, sitting a little farther away, as if bored.

Tang Xiao had just escaped from the catastrophe, and suddenly met a living person in this wild place, and he couldn't help but get nervous. When he turned to look at Ye Suiyun, he saw that he had a relaxed face, and said teasingly: "You are really indispensable everywhere." At a glance, he recognized that the person waiting in front of him was Li Fu, who was always making trouble for himself. Although Tang Xiao was surprised that the person in front of him was Ye Suiyun's friend, his tense spirit suddenly relaxed.

Li Fu opened his eyes wide, as if he was also surprised, and said with a smile: "It's really a place in life where you don't meet, and you actually meet a young man here." He said and bowed his hand again and again.

Ye Suiyun waved his hand and said, "Come less, let's talk straight, what are you going to do this time?" Without waiting for Li Fu to speak, he spread his hands and said: "Let's say it first, I'm penniless and homeless now, neither a helper, nor can I see the light, no matter what you do, I can't help." ”

Li Fu said: "You and I meet here because of fate, why did Brother Ye say this?" Can't you step on this footsteps below? Moreover.... Before he could say more, the green-shirted woman next to him had already walked over and said, "Brother Fu, is he the Ye Suiyun you were waiting for?" ”

Li Fu suddenly stopped, sighed, and swallowed all the words that followed. The woman saw that his face was not good, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "You talk, I'll wait over there." After speaking, his eyes turned to Tang Xiao and said, "This sister has such a handsome appearance, I have the best face protection pollen, only my sister is worthy of it." Tang Xiao knew her thoughts and said, "Thank you, what is this sister called." The green-shirted woman said: "My name is Qiu Yeqing, come, let's go over there, anyway, they men don't understand." As he spoke, he took Tang Xiao's hand and stepped aside.

Ye Suiyun said: "Now you have nothing to say, don't Your Excellency have anything else to do." Do you have to stare at me? ”

Li Fu said: "Okay, I admit that I am waiting here, but it is all out of good intentions, and it is definitely not another attempt that Brother Ye thinks." I've been missing for almost two months, and I'm very worried about the rumors that you're dead. ”

Ye Suiyun asked, "How did you find me?" ”

Li Fu said: "To be honest, you have not been heard from since the Caozilin incident, and it is purely by chance that I can find you." It was because I accidentally saw the report of the destruction of the Baling thief Kou Nanshan a few days ago, so I became suspicious and made a special trip to investigate. It wasn't until I learned that 300 Shence troops were mobilized here two days ago that I knew that I had guessed correctly. ”

Ye Suiyun nodded silently and said, "Although you are well-informed, you still almost can't see me." Li Fu was taken aback and asked why. Ye Suiyun told the process of almost being made into a flower chicken.

Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, shouted that it was dangerous, and said: "I thought that the army of only three hundred gods would naturally trap you, so I didn't plan to intervene to help, but I never thought that it was too dangerous to shave my head." After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Ye Suiyun said: "I was entrusted by someone to go to Kou Island. Li Fuyi slapped his thigh and said happily: "Great, I'm about to go here too." Suddenly, seeing Ye Suiyun's eyes full of vigilance, he snorted and said, "Brother Ye don't have to worry, there are other affairs in the future, and I won't go with you." Ye Suiyun was relieved and relieved.

Li Fu said thoughtfully: "It's a long way to go to Kou Island, and with your current situation, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of difficulties and dangers along the way, so it's not easy to talk about." When Ye Suiyun heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel worried, and he was silent.

Li Fu said: "If you take the waterway, it will be much easier, what do you think?" Ye Suiyun was pointed out by a sentence and said: "You are right, boating on the water, that is, quiet and far away from land, is a good way." After that, he was worried: "But for a while, where to find a boat to go to Kou Island." ”

Li Fu said: "Of course, there is no special boat to Kou Island, but you can go to Yangzhou first, and then set off from Yangzhou?" You'll save yourself a lot of trouble on the road. Ye Suiyun nodded yes, thinking of returning to Yangzhou, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he was framed in Yangzhou, and he never thought that he would be guilty of going back after a toss.

Li Fu said: "From here to the south of more than ten miles is a small market, close to a small river called Yeyu River, tomorrow morning from the Yeyu River wharf there is a passenger boat departure, is to Yangzhou." ”

Ye Suiyun arched his hand and said happily: "That's great, thank you Brother Li for telling me." ”

Li Fu said again: "If the shipowner does not agree to your boarding, I will show him the iron plate I gave you before." Ye Suiyun's smile suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Li Fu with suspicion.

Li Fu sensed that something was wrong, and sneered: "Don't get me wrong, this ship is indeed owned by a friend, but this time I really think about you, but I haven't asked for half of it, can't you believe it?" ”

Ye Suiyun secretly thought that this was true, Li Fu really didn't want to do anything by himself, anyway, as long as he asked the destination of the ship tomorrow is indeed Yangzhou, he can rest assured that he can get on the ship. Tang Xiao came over at this time and said, "Brother Ye, what you say is so happy, I want to listen to it." ”

Ye Suiyun remembered that he hadn't introduced the two yet, and smiled at Tang: "His name is Li Fu, and he was in Fengxiang Gambling Village a year ago, and I was able to find you thanks to his guidance." Tang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

Ye Suiyun was about to introduce Tang Xiao again, and Li Fu waved his hand and said, "No need, don't I know the name of the Alluring Holy Hand?" She has also been missing for two months, it turned out to be with you" After speaking, she looked at the two of them separately, laughed, and said in a long voice: "The willows and flowers are accompanied by tomorrow spring, and the pearls are photographed in pairs, the flowers are good and the moon is more beautiful, and the orange, yellow, orange and green wine add fragrance." Brother Yun, I took the first step and said goodbye. After saying that, he turned around and floated away, and Qiu Yeqing hurriedly said when he saw this: "Why didn't this person say hello and leave first, he was angry." Kiki chased after him.

Ye Suiyun didn't understand what Li Fu said, he was stunned and didn't react, but Tang Xiao knew that he was ridiculing that the two of them were in love, and the happy event was about to come, so he couldn't help but be shy, but he was also secretly proud. Ye Suiyun saw that her face was red, and she smirked quietly, which was even more inexplicable.

According to Li Fu's guidance, the two walked slowly all the way south. After a fire disaster, Tang Xiao was already physically exhausted, and he couldn't walk after less than half of his walk. Ye Suiyun picked her up and said with a smile: "When I was injured, I relied on you to carry it, and now it's time to change." ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, and before dark, they saw the market, found an inn, and opened two upper rooms. The two young men were already tired, and soon after eating, Tang Xiao fell into a deep sleep. Ye Suiyun also meditated and recovered his vitality.

When they woke up again, it was already dark, and the two of them went out of the inn and found the Yeyu River Wharf in the direction they inquired about yesterday. I saw a big boat parked on the riverside, and more than a dozen porters on the shore were carrying baskets of goods back and forth to the boat.

An old man in a crimson robe stood on the shore of the bow of the ship, directing the workers to carry it, looking like the owner of the ship. Ye Suiyun stepped forward and said, "Uncle is the owner of this ship?" The old man was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes." Ye Suiyun said: "The two of us want to go to Yangzhou, I wonder if Your Excellency's ship is this journey?" ”

The old man frowned and said, "Young man, my ship is going to Yangzhou." As soon as the two of them heard that they had found the right one, they were all overjoyed, but the old man said: "Unfortunately, the tickets have already been sold out, and the number of people on the ship is quota, and there is no one to add it." Tang smiled and hurriedly said, "Can't we add more silver?" The old man shook his head and said: "The carrying capacity of the ship is fixed, there will be danger if there are more people, and you can't take this risk if you add money, so you can go." ”

Ye Suiyun suddenly remembered Li Fu's words, took out the iron plate and said, "I have a friend to entrust me, please ask the old man to make it convenient." After the old man saw the thing in his hand clearly, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Suiyun, and nodded: "Since you have this thing, why not take it out earlier." He stretched out his arm and said, "Please get on the boat." ”

Tang Xiaoqi said: "Didn't you say that there can't be more than one person?" The old man laughed and said, "That's because there are two places for you." Tang Xiao secretly scolded the old slippery head and got on the boat with Ye Suiyun. I saw that there were already more than 20 people waiting in the cabin, and it seemed that all of them were travelers, and all the vegetables and food were placed on the deck and tied up with ropes. After waiting for a while, all the goods on the shore had been loaded onto the ship, and the old man gave the order, and the big ship sailed away from the shore.

Ye Suiyun stepped forward and saluted: "Dare to ask what the old man is called?" ”

The old man said: "The old man's surname is Jia, and the little brother will call me Jia Gong." Without waiting for Ye Suiyun to speak, Tang Xiao said, "Jia Gong, is your ship transporting goods or people?" ”

Jia Gong said with a smile: "The old man's family depends on this boat to feed, that is, to pull goods and transport passengers, without delay." ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Dare to ask how long it will take to go to Yangzhou from now on?" ”

Jia Gongdao: "Since the night rain river, two days later, you can go out of the Harrier Valley, enter the Qutang Gorge, and then follow the water into the Yangtze River, all the way down the river to the east to reach Yangzhou, at most ten days." Ye Suiyun put his mind at ease and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Jia Gong advised: "Qutang Gorge is steep and majestic, the momentum is galloping, it is the most strange landscape in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the two of them must not miss it at that time." Tang Xiao was the happiest, and when he thought of being able to go through this spectacle with Ye Suiyun, he was full of hope.

There was nothing to do all the way, and two days later, the passenger ship sailed into the Yangtze River and came to Qutang Gorge. Tang Xiao pulled Ye Suiyun and waited on the side of the ship early in the morning, and at this time, he saw the majestic peaks rising from the ground on both sides of the strait, standing on the side like a knife and axe, and under the support, the originally quite large ship suddenly looked as small as hemp. Tang Xiao looked down and saw that the water on the turbulent river was turbulent, and the sound was like a huge thunder, which made people frightened. Looking up again, I found that under the towering cliffs on both sides, the clouds and the sky were very strange. Ye Suiyun couldn't help but take out the flute that he had been carrying with him and blew it gently, the flute sound was melodious, echoing in the mountains and rivers, it was very beautiful, and even many people in the cockpit were attracted to the deck, sat aside, and quietly admired.

After the song was finished, Tang Xiao couldn't help but be fascinated and praised: "This work of Qutang Gorge to seize the world is indeed extraordinary, the sound of the Ye family's brother is clear and far-reaching, adding more emotion to the beautiful scenery, which complements each other." ”

Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "These strange peaks and mountains have been born here for thousands of years, and I suddenly remembered the four words that my grandmother had said when I was a child, which corresponded to what I saw at this moment. ”

Tang smiled: "What is it, tell me about it." Ye Suiyun said: "The mighty spirit lasts forever. Tang Xiao tilted his head and thought about it, not understanding what these four words had to do with what he saw in front of him.

Ye Suiyun explained: "Evil will never triumph over justice, and even if it can be rampant once in a while, it will never last. Because the righteousness of the world exists forever in heaven and earth, just like this high mountain and long river, endless, and never extinguished. ”

Tang Xiao looked at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, blinked and asked, "This is also what Grandma Ye taught?" Ye Suiyun said: "No, I thought about it just now." As soon as I saw this majestic view, it occurred to me that even if I was wronged, I was despised by others, it was nothing. As long as you stick to your beliefs, what does it matter what others think? It's like these mountains, you say they have ever cared about other people's opinions. ”

Tang Xiao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he also remembered something, and said: "Speaking of Haoqi, I think of that Zhu Wujian, if he is fake, he is a scum, and Tong Su is not bullied." Then he told the story of the night he escaped from the Octagonal Village, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and said: "Obviously I want to kill people and kill people, and I pretend to say that for the sake of the overall situation, you say that you are angry or not angry." Ye Suiyun said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that there were such small people in the Haoqi Alliance. ”

Someone next to him said: "You don't need to be angry, whoever says that the Haoqi Alliance must be a good person, don't blindly follow like a fool and a foolish woman, and when someone says it, they will casually divide the people who don't know it." ”

The two of them didn't expect someone to eavesdrop, and they saw that it was an old man, dressed in a cloth hat and with a sallow face, just like the most common farmer who cultivates the land on weekdays, very inconspicuous, and he is also a boat passenger.

Ye Suiyun said: "The words of the old man are quite harmonious with the two friends known by the younger generation, and they have been taught. "I thought of Monk Chen and Mr. Zhang, who gave the flute.

The old man saw that he was polite, nodded and moved to the side of the two, and said, "Even if it is the same person, at different times, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, not to mention an alliance of tens of millions of people." There is a rat and Zhu Wujian is not a new thing. ”

Ye Suiyun said: "In the same way, the people in the Valley of the Wicked are not all bad people. The old man glanced at him appreciatively and said, "They can only be said to be people with stories, good and evil are not born, and everyone has an unknown bitterness behind them." ”

Tang Xiao heard the old man's words be good, and he was suspicious, and asked, "What do you call the old uncle?" The old man was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone shouting on the river in the distance: "The ship in front of you will anchor and dock, otherwise you will be killed." Following the direction from which the sound came, I saw three large black ships lined up and quickly approaching from the front, each with a black flag on it, swinging in the wind.

Someone on the boat recognized the flag and exclaimed, "Yes... Be.. Twelve... Twelve water thieves in the dock. When everyone heard this, their emotions changed color.
