When Nandao woke up, he was in the rat's cabin, with a thin blanket under him, covered with a fairly thick quilt, and the black umbrella was in his hand, covering his head crookedly, his head was a little painful, Nandao touched it and found that his brow was inexplicably swollen. Nanjima stared at the edge of the umbrella for a long time and sat up.

Peach blossom?

Nandao reminisced about what had happened before. But my head was very heavy, and I didn't remember anything, but I vaguely remembered that when I was underwater, I was attacked, and then, what saved me?

Peach blossom?

The name reappeared in Nandao's mind.

He turned his head to look over his shoulder, where the three-inch peach branch was gone, and Nandao ripped off his clothes, leaving only a scar inside, where the peach blossom had grown during the day.

Nandao frowned and thought for a long time, and seemed to finally remember a little.

Peach blossoms, swords, come for you.

What does that mean? Nandao felt that his head had become very heavy, but the moment he closed his eyes, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

A man in white with a short sword in both hands and a peach blossom face stood in the water, and then suddenly plunged the sword into his heart.

Nandao suddenly woke up, stretched out his hand to untie his clothes, and there was a peach blossom mark in his heart, five petals of peanuts, but one petal was bright red as blood. Nandao looked at it uneasily for a long time, stretched out his hand to touch it, and the moment he raised his hand to touch it, the peach blossom mark disappeared.

As if it had never been.

Nanjima closed his shirt in silence and looked out of the cabin.

The boat stopped on the bank of the Nanyi River, it was already late at night, the prosperity of the world had dispersed, the city was silent, and the rats were curled up in the bow of the boat, with their money bags at their feet, and they were sleeping deeply.

As if awakened by the movement in the cabin, the rat rubbed his eyes and looked over, and saw that Nandao had woken up, and with a long sigh of relief, he yawned and stood up, and walked in with Nandao's package.

"What happened to you down there? Why did the rope break all of a sudden? Rat Rat asked curiously, looking at Nandao.

Nandao hesitated a little, but still did not tell the truth.

"Hit the rocks."

Rat Rat looked at Nandao apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I'm in too much of a hurry." ”

Nandao shook his head and said, "It's okay. ”

"By the way, it's your money." As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, and raised his four fingers and said, "Rat swear, I really didn't mean to turn over your package, it's just, it's just...... There's a little bit of curiosity, hehe. ”

Nandao took the package speechlessly, and without saying anything, he took out the money from his bosom and handed it to the rat.

The rat took the money with a smile, held it to his mouth and kissed it again.

"Hmm, rat money, hee-hee."

Nandao walked out of the cabin with an umbrella, sat down in the bow of the boat, looked at Nanyi City, where there were only some sparse lights left, looked back at the rats and rats hiding money in the cabin, and asked, "How did you find me?" ”

The rat came out of the cabin, yawned on the edge of the boat, seemed sleepy again, and said lazily: "It's not me, it's a scholar named Yunhu who doesn't know anything, he washes clothes at the bridge not far below, and when he smashes it down, he hits his head." ”

Nandao touched his brows, a little crying and laughing, it turned out to be like this.

“......”

"And then I found it again, and I towed you with him."

"Thank you."

"Hey, no thanks, just give the money." Rat said with a grin.

Nandao was silent for a long time, then took out another penny from his bosom and handed it to the rat.

The rat took the money, was not sleepy again, and happily entered the cabin.

Nandao stood up with an umbrella, climbed the guardrail to the riverbank, and said to Upengli.

"I'll go first."

"Okay, let's play with rats when you have time." The rat rat responded in the cabin.

Nandao did not answer, and walked along the riverbank with an umbrella and a package on his back.

After walking a long way, Nandao turned back and looked at the lonely boat floating in the river at night.

So did that attack have anything to do with rats?

Nandao watched in silence, he didn't know either.

It's just too much of a coincidence.

Nanjima shook his head, didn't think about these things anymore, made a look, and left down the alley.

As soon as Nan Dao stepped into the door of the Su Inn, he saw a bunch of people inside, and Zhang Xiaoyu, who thought that he had already returned to the Sword Sect, was sitting at the card table, picking his feet and touching the cards at the same time, as if he was hesitating about something.

The circle of people around looked at him with a smile, and seemed to be a little impatient with the person at the table, and said, "You can't beat Zhang Xiaoyu." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu seemed to be very entangled, hesitated again and again, put his feet down, stepped on his shoes and stood up, and slapped the cards in his hand on the table.

"Smack!"

"I don't believe it." Zhang Xiaoyu looked at a few people viciously.

A circle of people was startled at first, and then leaned back and laughed after leaning over and seeing the red piece that Zhang Xiaoyu slapped on the table.

Sure enough, the opponent pushed the card.

"Huh!"

Zhang Xiaoyu sat back on the stool, screaming and grabbing his hair.

The people around looked at Zhang Xiaoyu playfully, and said jokingly: "Zhang Diancang, have you lost it again?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his head and rummaged through the money bag, and then threw the money bag over, and the two copper coins inside hit the sound lonely.

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly saw Nandao standing aside, and immediately stood up overjoyed, and pulled Nandao over.

"Senior brother, you can be counted as back, quickly borrow some money from senior brother, and when senior brother wins back, I will pay you back with interest."

"Senior brother?"

Everyone looked at the South Island with puzzled expressions.

"A new disciple of the Human Sword Sect?"

Nan Dao thought about the words of the blade in the sword sect garden, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Eh, it's not......"

"Who's to say it's not." Zhang Xiaoyu grabbed Nandao's neck, looked at everyone and said, "I said yes, tomorrow I will go and ask the master to take him as a junior brother." ”

Everyone was silent, it was about the Human Sword Sect, and everyone didn't dare to joke anymore.

Nandao broke free from Zhang Xiaoyu's restraints, reluctantly took off the package on his shoulder, and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoyu's arms.

"Okay, okay, just leave me some money for dinner tomorrow."

Nandao was really afraid of Zhang Xiaoyu, so after leaving the money, he hurriedly ran to the second floor and returned to the room.

"Come, let's continue!"

Zhang Xiaoyu began to shuffle the cards with great interest.

Nandao closed the door, and the voices were lowered.

Because it is spring, the inn is afraid that some guests are afraid of the cold, because the brazier is still burning in the room, and the window is slightly open, but there is still some warmth.

Nandao washed his face, took off his wet clothes again, and roasted them by the brazier.

Then he coughed by the light of the fire and looked at his heart, but there was really nothing there.

As if it were just a dream, Nandao thought, and when his breathing had calmed down, he lay flat on the bed with his umbrella.

For others, even if they can understand sleeping with an umbrella, it is difficult to do.

But that's how the South Island slept for more than a decade.

Because of the mess he had experienced yesterday, Nandao quickly fell asleep.

The second day of the South Island was woken up by the sound in the room.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Zhang Xiaoyu wiping the table, a basin of hot water next to him, and some big steamed buns on the stool beside him.

Seeing that Nandao woke up, Zhang Xiaoyu came over quite attentively and helped Nandao straighten his shoes.

Nandao sighed, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "How much is left?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a sad face: "I lost everything." ”

“......”

Nandao got up, went to wash his face, sat at the table and brought the steamed buns to the table, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, and stopped talking.

Zhang Xiaoyu sat down, picked up a steamed bun and nibbled on it, and said vaguely: "Senior brother, you can scold if you want." ”

Nandao also picked up a steamed bun, took two bites, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Senior Brother Zhang." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Nandao with a bulging mouth.

"It's really not good, let's quit."

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head frantically, swallowed the steamed bun with difficulty, and said confidently: "Senior brother, don't worry, senior brother is sitting on the life of the treasury, but the four pillars are too hard, and they have temporarily broken through the treasury. ”

Nan Dao shook his head helplessly, suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said: "That's it, senior brother, you don't need to return it to me, I guess I can't afford to wait, you do me a favor, just as you have already paid it back." ”

"Senior brother, just say it."

"I was cut down in Nanyi River last night, how about my senior brother help me check it out?"

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then patted the table and stood up.

"Damn it, who dares to cut my money bag..... Cut my junior brother. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu picked up a few steamed buns, pushed open the door and walked out, glanced back at Nandao before leaving, and said, "I'll go now, junior brother, just wait for my news." ”

Nandao looked at the unfinished steamed bun in his hand in silence.

This is the only one left.

Fuck.

Nandao couldn't help but scold.

I don't know who to scold.

After nibbling on the steamed bun, Nandao cleaned up and went out with an umbrella.

When I walked downstairs to the lobby, I happened to see a scholar checking out at the counter, and Nandao remembered what the rat said last night, so he waited there a little longer.

After the scholar finished it, he picked up the bookcase and turned around, and when he saw Nandao standing there, he immediately sighed.

"Hey, the bag on your head is gone."

“......”

Nandao took a deep breath, arched his hand towards the scholar, and said, "Thank you for last night." ”

The scholar also returned the salute, then waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just happened to meet it." ”

Nandao wanted to touch some money to come out to express his gratitude, but after touching the air, he remembered that he had been completely lost by Zhang Xiaoyu, so he paused there a little awkwardly.

Scholar Yunhu smiled strangely and said, "Okay, don't look for it, I watched that Sword Sect disciple lose all your money upstairs last night, and he also asked me to borrow a few pennies to buy steamed buns in the morning, I don't know how many you ate." ”

“.......”

Nandao finally understood why Zhang Xiaoyu said that he had lost everything, and he could still buy steamed buns on the other hand.

It seems that there are creditors all over the world.

Yun Hu walked to the door, looked back at Nandao and said, "Today is the day of spring recruitment in the Hanging Courtyard, I have to go over there, so I will leave first." ”

When Nandao heard this, he followed and said, "It just so happens that I'm going too, so let's go together." ”

Yun Hu glanced at Nandao, but he was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's go together." ”
