On the bank of the Wenshui River, in the dead of night, several boats on the river float by, only the bright moonlight will shine on the Wenshui River.

The fishing boats break the twilight smoke, and the reeds are thinned in the old river.

The boats on the Wenshui River, the big lanterns are like day, the small ones are delicate and elegant, each with its own poetic and picturesque feelings.

Among them, one of the largest boats, swayed gently on the surface of the river, brightly lit, and the sound of winding beams could not stop above the water.

Needless to say, the luxurious style and elegant arrangement of this boat, coupled with the singers who have been around the beam for three days, show the strong financial resources of its owner.

Yun Cang said to Lin Xi that the boat in front of him was the ship of the famous Shandong "Xijiazhuang".

Lin Xi has also heard of the name of Xijiazhuang.

One hundred and sixty years ago, Xi Boyang relied on the "Tianji Sword Technique" to defeat the invincible opponents in the Kanto region. Because of its good reputation in the rivers and lakes, it was nicknamed "Kanto Hero". He built Xijiazhuang in Shandong, gradually developed, and eventually became "the first village in the Kanto martial arts".

In recent years, Xijiazhuang's reputation in the rivers and lakes has been far less than before, but Yu Wei is still there. Until three years ago, the former owner of the farm, Xi Liewu, fell into the river and died, so the owner fell to the head of the young current owner, Xi Yaohui.

Xi Liewu died unexpectedly in the prime of life, and all the burdens were pressed on the body of Xi Yaohui, who was only eighteen years old at the time, not only that, but many people were eyeing this piece of fat after Xi Liewu's death, and many people used the excuse to provoke Xijiazhuang, which was no longer beautiful, and they were all thinking of overturning Xijiazhuang, so that they could be qualified to be a local snake.

Xijiazhuang can still have a size in this place surrounded by wolves, and it is probably thanks to one person - the big housekeeper of Xijiazhuang, "Blood Sword Thunder" Tang Zhen.

Of all the provocateurs, none of them were able to walk under his sword in the end.

Speaking of this Tang Zhen, he can be said to be a famous man in the Kanto region.

Tang Zhen has been in Xijiazhuang for less than five years, and his status has long been far better than anyone in Xijiazhuang, and after the death of Xi Liewu, he took the lead and blocked all the challengers for the young owner Xi Yaohui.

It is a legitimate and normal thing for him to meet the enemy on behalf of the owner. All the people who replaced Xijiazhuang would all fall under Tang Zhen's sword.

Therefore, Xijiazhuang's prestige is still there, and it is inseparable from this chief manager.

Lin Xi walked along the water, and couldn't help but look at the river - the Xuanzhou painting boat, the fire tree and silver flowers, will always be more attractive.

Suddenly, the moon shadow flashed, and Lin Xi only felt that he saw something falling into the water.

"Hey, I seem to be ......" Before the words fell, a "plop" attracted everyone's attention.

A figure fluttered up and down in the water, and beside him was the big boat of Xijiazhuang, which rowed farther and farther away, completely oblivious to it.

The figure was sent farther and farther away by the waves, and the splash became smaller and smaller.

"Not good, save people!"

Lin Xi didn't have time to think about it, and quickly ran over with a low flight of treading water.

The man in the water had exhausted most of his strength, and just as she was about to sink down, a warm hand suddenly grabbed her and quickly pulled her out of the water.

The girl choked on a lot of water, and before she fainted, she only felt that she was lying on a solid back, and fell into a deep sleep.

When the girl opened her eyes again, she saw a strange man at first sight.

Blame it on his appearance.

In his early twenties, when young men and women were in their prime, the man in front of him was full of long hair and gray hair, and the sense of disobedience was extremely strong.

Lin Xi was not a high-spirited teenager at the beginning, and in less than three years, he became this half-old and ageless appearance, which is quite embarrassing to think about.

Fortunately, Lin Xi didn't feel that he was old. He always maintains a clear head and a body that is always ready to fight hard, and always maintains an unparalleled vitality.

His blood is like a burning flame, and he does what is right, and he does not care for himself.

"Girl, are you awake?"

The girl spat out a mouthful of river water, and cried out to the surface of the river with tears long gone: "Brother! What the hell is wrong with you......"

Lin Xi asked, "Are you... How did you fall overboard? ”

The girl didn't reply, and continued to cry to herself, but Lin Xi was speechless.

Lin Xi didn't continue to ask, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to leave.

"Hey!" Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the girl was anxious and hurriedly called Lin Xi: "Why are you like this!" Leave a girl here......"

Lin Xi slowly turned around and said with a smile on his face: "I thought we were redundant." ”

"You ......" the girl sobbed twice with the tip of her nose red, looking like she was about to cry again.

Lin Xi hurriedly called the girl: "Hey, okay, okay--I said don't cry, I saw you fall from the big boat just now, what the hell is going on?" ”

The girl had tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly: "My brother...... My brother he's crazy... He pushed me off the boat......"

"Your brother?" Lin Xi glanced at his eyes, "It was the boat of Xijiazhuang that I just left, who is your brother from Xijiazhuang?" ”

"My brother is...... My brother is the owner of the village......

"Your brother is the owner of the farm?" Lin Xi secretly took a breath of cold air, "Why is your brother crazy?" ”

The girl shook her head aggrievedly: "I don't know, it's so decent... My brother has gone crazy again! They also pushed me into the water......"

"It's weird, when my brother pushes his sister into the water...... Uh, girl, or... Shall we send you back first? ”

The girl snorted and eased her depressed mood: "Do you want to go back to Xijiazhuang?" All right...... Also, don't keep calling girls girls, I have a name! ”

Lin Xi pursed her lips and asked funny, "Okay, well--dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"Xi Jingyao."

Lin Xi grinned his teeth and smiled: "Okay, I remember, Miss Xier." ”

"I said my name, but you haven't said your name yet?" Xi Jingyao asked.

Lin Xi looked a little indifferent: "What do you know my name for?" ”

"I've said my name, if you don't say yours, then won't I suffer?"

"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you." Lin Xi couldn't help grinding hard bubbles, so he had to say honestly: "My name is Lin Xi." ”

Xi Jingyao was a little surprised: "You are Lin Xi!" ”

Lin Xi glanced at Xi Jingyao, "You know me too?" ”

"Burn the overlord flower in Tanting Valley, if you come later, your name will spread all over Shandong!"

Lin Xi felt helpless and stopped talking. Xi Jingyao chirped in her ear like a sparrow: "Lin Xi, how did you burn those overlord flowers, I heard that there were many killers in the valley who were ambushing and preparing to kill you at that time!" How did you escape? Tell me about it! Tell me about ......"

Lin Xi only felt a little big, and shouted, "Okay, okay!" I said what a sparrow, twittering......"

"I'm just curious, tell me about ......"

"Later! There will be a chance in the future! Hurry now, hurry ......"

Xi Jingyao was quiet after hearing this: "That... Then we'll tell you about it when we have time! ”

"Why don't you tell me first, what's going on with your brother going crazy?"

When Xi Jingyao heard this, her mood suddenly became lost again. She slowly told about her brother Xi Yaohui's matter-

Three years ago, the former owner, that is, the father of Xi Yaohui and Xi Jingyao, died violently, and the young Xi Yaohui inherited his father's throne and sat on the seat of the owner of Xijiazhuang.

But this seat is not easy to sit in - Xijiazhuang's power in the martial arts is already declining, Xi Liewu is violent, there are many things in the village, and from time to time there will be Jianghu people who provoke Xijiazhuang.

Xi Yaohui was still young and could not withstand such a heavy pressure for a while--a year ago, Xi Yaohui fell ill for the first time, injuring many people in the village.

Since then, Xi Yaohui has been crazy from time to time. Tang Zhen may feel that Xi Yaohui is too stressed alone, so he found a girl on the rivers and lakes to be his wife for Xi Yaohui.

At first, it seemed to work, but after a long time, Sunset's madness began to uncontrollably onset.

In the most serious case, Xi Yaohui beat his wife out of Xijiazhuang, and his wife has not been seen since then. Tang Zhen and Xi Jingyao had both searched for it, but they all found nothing.

Madame was beaten away, but Xi Yaohui's illness became more and more frequent—it used to be once in ten months; In the past few months, the sunset will become ill in ten days and a half, or even less.

The whole village was tossed and choked enough, Tang Zhen and Xi Jingyao didn't look for Lang Zhong, but when they didn't get sick, Xi Yaohui looked no different from a normal person, and even Lang Zhong was helpless.

Now the whole village can only be dumbfounded.

Tang Zhen thought about taking Xi Yaohui out for a walk, maybe it would be better? So he took a painting boat on the Wenshui River, and took Xi Yaohui, Xi Jingyao and some Zhuangli servants to board the painting boat for a trip.

Everything went very smoothly, but I didn't expect that something went wrong when I went back.

Xi Yaohui suddenly fell ill on the boat, and ordered Zhuang Ding to throw Xi Jingyao into the river with a knife, Zhuang Ding did not comply, Xi Yaohui became angry and cut a person, no one dared to listen to Xi Yaohui's words again, Zhuang Ding threw the crying Xi Jingyao into the water, and even Tang Zhen did not stop him-

Before falling into the water, Xi Jingyao heard her brother's roar, and he didn't let anyone save him.

And the elder brother knows that he is a landlubber and does not know water at all.

If no one is on the shore, Xi Jingyao will definitely die.

Xi Jingyao didn't understand why her brother was so ruthless. Her brother's crazy appearance still makes her feel scared now.

If it weren't for Lin Xi's rescue, if Lin Xi hadn't seen it, Xi Jingyao would have sunk into the river and become a ghost.

Looking at Xi Jingyao, who was crying while walking, Lin Xi didn't know what to say, so she had to comfort: "Okay, it's okay." Come home and see how your brother is doing, and don't blame him too much if he really goes insane. ”

"Well, I see......" Xi Jingyao wiped her tears and continued to walk home.
