Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 4 My name is Peach Blossom

When Nandao came out of the Sword Sect Garden, it was already dark, and when he opened the small door, he saw a young man in white with a sword scabbard on his back guarding the stall of the sugar and oil baba behind the small door, holding a copper coin in his hand, staring at the glutinous rice balls in the syrup oil in the pot.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and saw Nandao walking towards him, beckoned, and said with a smile: "Young man, you are out, do you want one?" ”

Nan Dao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's poor money bag, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Zhang, it's not easy for you to make some money." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu held Nandao's shoulders and said quite proudly: "Although I Zhang Xiaoyu is stingy when playing cards, I am the most generous in terms of dealing with people. ”

Nan Dao scratched his head, took out two pennies, handed them to the old man, and said, "Then I'll have one too, after all, I won the money today, so I'll invite you, Senior Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu quickly put the copper coin in his hand into the money bag, and said seriously: "Okay." ”

Then he looked at the package on Nandao's shoulder and asked, "You won all the money of the senior brothers?" ”

Nanjima thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu hugged Nandao's shoulders and said affectionately: "That, junior brother, you see that senior brother introduced you to such a good way to make money..... as he said that, he rubbed his fingers, "Shouldn't you mean it?" ”

Nandao nodded in agreement and said, "That's true." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu's eyebrows suddenly danced, and then he saw Nandao take the sugar and oil poop from the old man, handed it to himself, and said very sincerely: "Senior brother, please." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu took the sugar and oil poop wrapped in oil paper with a bitter face, sighed, walked while eating, and said, "Hey, it's not unladylike to meet people, it's not unladylike to meet people." ”

Nan Dao looked at this rather interesting Sword Sect disciple with sugar and oil in his back, thought about it, and shouted, "Senior Brother Zhang! ”

Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head with a sad face.

"What."

"Do you know where there are better inns nearby?"

"You walk out of the alley, walk along the street to the end, turn right a short distance, and you will see a Su Inn."

Zhang Xiaoyu said weakly, and then saw something smashed into his arms, picked it up and saw that Huo Ran was a bulging money bag.

"Thank you, brother." Nandao nibbled on the sugar and oil baba while thanking and leaving.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood at the small door, holding the money bag and was moved.

"What a good junior brother, no, I have to go and talk to the master and ask him to take this kid in."

Zhang Xiaoyu grunted through the door.

"Then I won't be afraid of running out of money to play cards."

“......”

Nandao stood at the mouth of the alley with his forehead held his head speechlessly.

Walking out of the alley, following the route given by Zhang Xiaoyu, he did see the Su inn around the corner. Spring city popular boat cruise river, is to Nanyi City many tourists from all over Huai'an, the inn room is not much left, but fortunately Nandao came early when it came, but also succeeded in living in a cheaper room, because I don't know how long I need to stay in Nanyi City, plus today to win a lot of money, Nandao is also proud to rent for half a month.

After packing up all the things on his body, Nandao planned to go out for a walk, after all, it was the first time to leave the town and come to Nanyi City. The bag of money Nandao continued to be carried on his shoulder, although everyone said that Nanyi City was very safe, but Nandao was still a little worried.

That's a lot of money.

Nan Dao carried the 'gift' of the Sword Sect brothers on his back and went out again with an umbrella.

When I went out, the twilight had subsided, and the lights of the world bloomed vigorously on the long street, and the floating noise flowed slowly with the Nanyi River, and the night around the corner reappeared on another long street.

Nandao walked slowly all the way, as if it hadn't been so comfortable in a long time, huh...... After all, I have a lot of money on my body, and I just buy it without blinking when I see anything I want to eat.

The only thing that is more distressing is that people don't pay attention to how much money he is carrying, they just keep looking sideways at his umbrella, after all, the rain has stopped for a long time, and even if people on the road carry umbrellas, they don't hold it.

But the South Island has long been accustomed to wandering around this historic ancient city on its own.

After passing through several streets and walking to a street along the river, Nandao saw the familiar figure.

The maiden sat in the bow of the boat in great distress, holding a penny in her hand and constantly moving in the water, as if looking for something.

Nandao walked to the river and leaned on the guardrail to say hello.

"You look a little annoyed, rat."

The rat was stunned, always feeling that this sentence was a little familiar, and when he looked up and saw Nandao, he smiled a little weakly.

"It's you, how is it, have you entered the Sword Sect?"

Nandao was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The rat patted his chest proudly and said, "Look, I said that the rat will definitely do it." ”

Nandao smiled, but didn't bother with her about his one hundred and nine pennies, and asked, "What did you lose?" ”

The rat's face fell, he looked down at the water, and said dejectedly: "I did a good deed before, collected a penny, and before I could hide it, my boat was hit by someone, and the copper plate fell into the water." ”

"......" Nandao looked at her a little speechlessly, and said, "Then you go down and look for it, what's the use of standing on the boat." ”

The rat tilted his head a little embarrassed, looked at the lights on the other side, and said weakly, "I...... I'm afraid of water. ”

"You dare to row a boat even if you're afraid of water?"

"It's different!" Rat argued, thinking for a long time, "It's safe on board." ”

Nandao didn't want to fight, so he reluctantly took out a penny and said, "Then don't look for it, I'll give you another penny." ”

The rat's eyes lit up, looking at the copper coin in Nandao's hand, he swallowed his saliva, and seemed to be a little moved.

"But losing a penny is losing a penny, woo, my money."

The rat's heart moved for a while, and then he wailed sadly.

Nandao was silent for a while, and said, "How do I feel that you just want me to help you go down to find money?" ”

The rat blinked, looked at Nandao and said, "Is it okay?" ”

“......”

Nandao jumped on the boat, which caused a burst of angry eyes from the rats, but fortunately, after all, there was a request for people, and the rats didn't say anything, ran into the cabin and found a rope very neatly, and tied it to Nandao.

"When you find it, pull the rope and I'll pull you up."

The rat rat held the end of the rope and said with an oath.

Nanjima checked the knot, sighed, took the bag of money off his shoulder, put it on the bow of the boat, still holding the umbrella, and prepared to jump.

"Do you go down with an umbrella?"

Rat Rat was a little curious.

Minamijima nodded, then jumped into the water with an umbrella.

The rat and rat stood at the bow of the boat with the rope in his hand, and looked apprehensively into the water, and the part of the rope that remained on the boat quickly slid into the water, getting shorter and shorter, and then suddenly straightened, and almost dragged the rat and rat down together, and the rat hurriedly lay on the boat, and shouted to the water: "Are you all right?" ”

There was no response from Nanyihe.

......

Nandao did not encounter any danger, but in the process of falling, he also circled the rope on the umbrella bone, Nandao's original intention was to prevent the black umbrella from getting out of his hands, but he ignored the weight of the umbrella itself - when his father gave him the umbrella, he told him that he should never let go of the umbrella, Nandao initially thought it was to prevent it from being stolen, but later found that no one could pick up the umbrella except him, even his father, after it was cast, did not pick it up.

Nandao, blessed by the weight of the umbrella, quickly reached the bottom of the water, and it only took a short time to touch the fallen copper coin on the mud.

Pulling the coin out of the mud and placing it in his arms, Nandao regained his grip on the black umbrella, then loosened the knot tied to the bone and pulled the rope, which began to be pulled upwards.

However, the next moment, something seemed to hit from the darkness underwater, and Nandao hurriedly deflected the black umbrella. The thing hit the umbrella, made a crisp sound, and bounced upwards again, Nandao only felt his waist loosen, and the whole person began to fall.

Only then did Nandao realize that the rope had broken, and only a smooth end of the rope was left slowly falling.

The lights of Nanyi City shone sparsely under the water, but there was still a large area of darkness below, and Nandao didn't know what attacked him underwater, but he realized that his current situation was extremely dangerous, and he didn't have time to think about it, Nandao grabbed his umbrella and began to fight upward.

However, it was only a little bit higher that the bottom of the water began to rise again.

This time, Nandao finally saw what it was.

It was a slender knife, and after the long knife that came at it was bounced back by the black umbrella again, it fell into the hands of a man in black who came out of the shadows.

Nandao didn't look any further, turned around and began to flee downstream.

The man in black was silent, turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the current, and then instantly appeared in front of Nandao.

Nandao retracted his whole body under the umbrella, turned around and wanted to continue to escape, but a huge force suddenly came from above the black umbrella, and the black umbrella almost came out of his hand.

The man also seemed to realize the need to get Nandao to let go of the umbrella, and did not attack Nandao again, but was silent, slashing at the surface of the umbrella one by one.

Nandao held the umbrella tightly, but it was cut and rolled out of the water along with the umbrella, and then hit the reef at the bottom of the river.

"Wow~"

Nandao only felt that all his internal organs had been knocked out of place, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

The dark shadow came to Nandao again in an instant.

This time, the black umbrella was directly split out of his hand.

Nandao looked at the man in black silently in a bloody color, only to see that he didn't say a word, raised the knife in his hand again, and then slashed down.

Nandao closed his eyes, though a little unwillingly.

But maybe that's the end of it......

But no.

The knife slashed at the umbrella again.

Nandao opened his eyes, only to find that there was a tall man dressed in white in front of him, and the black umbrella was held in his hand, and the long knife of the man in black fell on the umbrella surface, and then cracked inch by inch.

Minamishima breathed a sigh of relief, and then her consciousness faded into confusion.

Faintly, I only saw the man in white turn around, it was a blank face, a peach blossom blooming on his face, rippling in the water, and he seemed to be holding a one-foot short sword in front of him.

The man stuffed the umbrella back into Nandao's hand, and the peach blossoms on his face kept moving, and then slowly blurred.

Nandao only heard one sentence.

"My name is Peach Blossom."

"I'm here with a sword for you."

......

Zhang Xiaoyu carried the empty scabbard on his back, stood on the bank of the Nanyi River outside the Sword Sect Garden, and looked down at the flowing water in the river quietly, as if he was looking at something.

At a certain moment, he looked up at the night sky with a solemn expression, and at that moment, the world seemed to have a little more coldness from top to bottom, but that coldness quickly disappeared.

It's like the moment when a certain sword cultivator is about to unleash his sword, he suddenly loses his target.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at it for a while, but he turned around and walked towards the place where the mahjong sound came from.

"The people of the River Sect are really getting more and more stupid, how can they kill people like this."

"It's better to play cards."
