In the dark of night, the bonfire was still radiating light and heat, the burning pine branches crackled, and Mrs. Feng and Juan'er were already asleep around the bonfire, wrapped in futons. Feng Yingxiu leaned under the turquoise stone in the distance, playing with rice grains and gray rabbit Meimei in her hand, looking up at the starry sky, it seemed that she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Since separating from Chitang Xue Yang, Feng Yingxiu and his party have been driving for more than ten days in a row, after letting the big mountain monkey push the wheelbarrow all the way in the rugged mountain road and inaccessible places, and gradually arrived at the place where the pedestrians are weaving and there are many merchants, Feng Yingxiu sent the big mountain monkey to hide in the mountain and abandon the wheelbarrow, fortunately, the terrain here is relatively much smoother, the road is more spacious, and it is not difficult for Mrs. Feng to walk. Tomorrow morning, you will cross this col and you will arrive at the ferry crossing of the Yangtze River waterway in Patong.

From Bashu to the south of the Yangtze River, the best way is to go down the river through the Yangtze River waterway, but the river is turbulent, the climate is also changeable, throughout the ages, I don't know how many times the ship was destroyed and people died, the difficulty of the Shu Road, can be seen.

Feng Yingxiu is not worried about the hardships of taking the boat, she can hear the words of the fish in the river, and can clearly predict the changes in the tide of the river, she is just thinking about how much benefit this trip to the Da Sima Mansion in Jiankang City can bring her, although Xue Yang swore when she introduced the business, and Juan'er repeatedly insisted that she was the most favored personal maid of Princess Rong, but Feng Yingxiu knew that it was not so simple, because this matter involved the most taboo demons and ghosts in the world, especially the powerful eunuch like Da Sima, if she refused to accept Juan'er back, it was not impossible。 Once this happens, won't all this long time of running around and toil be in vain?

However, there are always two sides to things, the greater the risk, the higher the return, as long as Princess Rong accepts Juan'er, not to mention the gratitude of the daughter, as long as Mrs. Rong gives a few pieces of jewelry from the princely family, it is enough for herself. Therefore, Feng Yingxiu would rather fight such a fight, and besides, seeing the longing and joy on Juan'er's face with Mrs. Feng all the way forward, Feng Yingxiu also felt the need to fulfill this wish for them. At worst, isn't this the foundation of the 500 gold guarantee given by Xue Yang?

Thinking of Xue Yang's dark face, and the description that seems to be simple and honest in the village, Feng Yingxiu couldn't help but want to laugh a little, this is a very funny young man, loyal in appearance but actually a belly of quirky tricks, but, in front of this girl, he can't take advantage of the slightest, hehe, he doesn't know what his idea is when this girl wants to pull me in, you have to look at the price. In such a world, gold and silver are still in hand, and money is the most reliable.

Feng Yingxiu recalled the address of the Qianjia that Xue Yang had repeatedly advised, and felt that it was completely possible to go and see it, and then thought of the situation when Xue Yang took out the gold from the package, thinking that if the demon subjugation and demon eradication could have such a high return, it was not impossible to consider entering this business.

Feng Yingxiu was so distracted that she didn't even notice that a white mist suddenly appeared around her, but the rice grains couldn't stop jumping with joy, and Meimei immediately came closer.

The white mist turned into a woman's figure in a blink of an eye, it was Cao Xiaopei, her illusory hand brushed on the belly of the rice grain, and gently scratched the beautiful long ear, and the two cute little animals suddenly began to be coquettish.

"Ha, Sister Pei'er, why are you here?" Feng Yingxiu turned her senses, and she was really overjoyed to suddenly see this good partner in life and a good partner in business.

Xiao Pei's white floating figure was entangled with the rice grains and Meimei, but her eyes looked at Feng Yingxiu: "Come and see my Feng family sister, see if your journey is smooth." ”...,

"It seems that the kid surnamed Xue is bragging again, didn't he say that he has a way of dealing with yin spirits and ghosts? Ha Luha, naturally it is difficult for me to stop my Sister Pei'er, how did you get out?" Feng Yingxiu stroked the rice grains and Meimei, and quieted them down.

"Actually, they didn't plan to keep me at all, and let me come to you. ”

"Oh, they're so generous, then why is Sister Pei'er only coming back now? With your cultivation, it's not difficult to change shape for thousands of miles in one day. Feng Yingxiu just made a surprised expression, but her tone didn't seem to be surprised.

"Because I myself want to stay and see what kind of people they are. ”

"Why do you want to see what kind of people they are?"

"For you, Feng family girl. Xiao Pei's tone was very deep, "You can't always be so lonely and helpless on the rivers and lakes, you treat me as your own relative, so there are some things I have to think about for you." ”

Feng Yingxiu obviously heard the deep meaning of Xiao Pei's words, but she smiled in an understated tone: "Lonely and helpless? I don't think, I have you, rice grains, and beauty, if I want, these birds and beasts between thousands of mountains and rivers can be my relatives and friends, I am not lonely, and I don't think this is a wandering ......."

"But you don't have a man...... Xiao Pei immediately picked up Feng Yingxiu's words, "A girl's family always entrusts herself to a reliable man." And I've observed them, and they're all good men, good men to rely on. ”

"I can't imagine that Sister Pei'er still has this thought?" Feng Yingxiu's smile was a little complicated.

"I used to be a girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and I also fell in love with a handsome young man, if ...... If it weren't for the turmoil in the clan, I would have been married a long time ago. In the many years since I died, I don't want to see my good sister still like this, I don't even have the happiness of being a woman, I got along with you, it's the black-faced little brother Xue, I see that when you are with him along the way, there is always a relaxed and happy look, I think he must be very suitable for you. ”

Feng Yingxiu looked at Mrs. Feng and Juan'er who were sleeping by the campfire in the distance, they should be asleep and couldn't hear the conversation here, so she smiled faintly: "Do you think I have a crush on him?"

Xiao Pei used her eyes to represent acquiescence.

"Actually, I just think he's cute, he's not a wicked person, I knew when he deliberately let the rice grains hit him, and with him, I do feel relaxed and happy, but this is not the love between men and women. Falling in love with a man, being his wife, I haven't thought about this kind of thing, I just want to do what I like to do in the way I am good in this troubled world, if one day, a man can make my heart move, I don't need Sister Pei'er to say, I will also show the happiness that a woman should have. For now, it is more practical to complete this escort as soon as possible, you know, I have always been very practical. Feng Yingxiu's expression looked very free.

Xiao Pei pondered for a long time, and her white body suddenly condensed and drifted away, and when her figure rose from the circle between Mi Li and Meimei, it meant that she had made a decision.

"It's so good, Feng family girl. Even if I'm like an old woman. Xiao Pei stopped Feng Yingxiu from wanting to speak, "But I still have to go back, back to those two demon slayers." ”

"Aren't they going to stop you?" Feng Yingxiu was puzzled.

"I'm still a mortgage on the bail after all, can't I? Besides, I'm suddenly very interested in these things about subduing demons and subduing demons. ”

Feng Yingxiu was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and kept laughing: "I know, anyway, you can come to me whenever you want, then Sister Pei'er, but you will be the mortgage of this guarantee for a while." ”...,

"When there is danger, notify me with telekinesis, and I will come to your side immediately. Xiao Pei smiled and left these words, and her figure disappeared into the dark shadows of the night.

Are you interested in them, Feng Yingxiu waved her hand, and felt happy for Xiao Pei from the bottom of her heart, maybe the happiness of being a woman, you will experience it better than me, my sister Pei'er.

Juan'er by the fire moved lightly and turned over with relief.

※※※

Feng Yingxiu took Mrs. Feng and Juan'er on the boat when she was in the corner.

This is the ferry port of Patong, the boats passing from the upstream have to dock here for a while, and the boats from the downstream going up the river also have to dock here, the wind and waves along the way, the danger is heavy, both the boatman and the traveler always have to rest for a while, so the town by the ferry is very prosperous, the flow of people is bustling, the costumes are different, and the noise is endless.

The boat has not yet opened, Feng Yingxiu stood on the bow of the boat, feeling the slightly fishy river breeze, she was listening to the conversation of the fish in the river, yes, the water flow is not too rapid during this time, it is a good time to sail, Feng Yingxiu nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Juan'er came out of the cabin, stood side by side with Feng Yingxiu, and said with concern: "Sister Feng, be careful of the cold river." ”

Juan'er was dressed as a man at this time, and the scene of the conversation with Feng Yingxiu at the bow of the boat was like a pair of people who were in love, and a man in the cabin looked at them with straight eyes, staring at them for a long time, and suddenly smiled at a person on the side: "Both are females, we have a good fortune on the road." ”

The other snorted: "Do you still have this mind? Get rid of the immediate matter first, those turtle grandsons are chasing too closely!" Suddenly his throat was raised, and he shouted in a rough voice: "The time has come, and you still don't want to start the boat?" The voice was extremely loud and full of energy.

The fish in the river were frightened away by the cheers, Feng Yingxiu turned her head to look at the man who spoke with some disgust, and saw that he wrapped his head and face with a cloak, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes, while the other person next to him wrapped his head in a white cloth, like the costume of an ordinary Shu person, but the obscene smile on his face clearly revealed bad intentions.

These two people are burly, with swords on their waists, and they are obviously high-rollers on the rivers and lakes, but Feng Yingxiu doesn't care who they are, after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, Feng Yingxiu has absolute confidence in her skills.

The boatman responded angrily: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for the wind to blow!" ”

The man in the cloak still said in a rough voice: "How long will it be? I have stopped here for a long time, and if I drag it down, I won't pay for the boat!"

As he spoke, a strong wind blew from upstream, and the sailors on board shouted one after another: "The wind rises, the wind rises." ”

The boatman raised his hand: "The wind is shivering, sail!"

The sailors were bare-chested, their dark and strong arms pulled vigorously, the sails were raised, and Feng Yingxiu only felt a shock under his feet, and the passenger ship had already started.

Seeing the boat moving, the man in the cloak stopped shouting, took out a wine bag from his arms, and poured a large sip of wine from his neck, while the man wrapped in a white scarf next to him still cast his eyes on Feng Yingxiu and Juan'er, hehe, laughing.

Feng Yingxiu pulled Juan'er and motioned her to return to her cabin, after all, there was still Mrs. Feng, although Feng Yingxiu was angry in her heart, she didn't want to make a big deal about it, Juan'er nodded very obediently, and followed Feng Yingxiu into the cabin, and when she passed in front of the two people, Juan'er obviously avoided her body.

"Where is the little boy going?" The man with the white scarf wrapped in his head saw Feng Yingxiu and Juan'er passing by, hehe smiled and accosted him, and his voice was still harsh and ugly.

"The rivers and seas are fluttering, why do you ask where you are!" Feng Yingxiu coldly blocked the car, this is an incision in the rivers and lakes, Feng Yingxiu said this, which also shows that he does not want to say more. ...,

The man with his head wrapped seemed to be in spirit: "Hey, this girl is also a fellow in the rivers and lakes?"

Feng Yingxiu didn't answer, she had already pulled Juan'er to the depths of the cabin, and sat down together with Mrs. Feng in the corner, the river boat was simple, although the cabin was large, but there was no compartment, fortunately, Feng Yingxiu was quite experienced, and had placed a shelter in the corner of the cabin in advance, which could sit or lie down, and there was quite a lot of room to spare. It's just that dozens of passengers in the cabin are crowded in this cabin, and the smell is very unpleasant, and Feng Yingxiu can't help frowning.

The man with his head still wanted to talk entangledly, but he was pulled by the cloaked man: "Save some trouble!

Feng Yingxiu quietly observed, and found that the two of them were looking around even when they didn't speak, and the situation seemed to be restless, and the man with his head glanced at him from time to time, and at first his eyes wandered on Juan'er and himself, but at the end, his eyes fell on the package he carried. The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head and whispered a few words to the cloaked man, who also looked at the package, revealing a pair of eyes that shone even more.

There are hundreds of gold in this package, Feng Yingxiu knows very well that this is a person who has experience in robbery and robbery, looking at the expressions of these two people, it must have found the clues of the package, and it is expected that most of them are robbers and robbers on the rivers and lakes, of course, Feng Yingxiu is not afraid, if she wants to do something on this girl, she must be tired and crooked.

The two sides of the river are connected with mountains, there is no place, the heavy cliffs are stacked, the sky is hidden, the passenger ship has been sailing in the surging river for a long time, and a same passenger ship is also on the river road to each other, at the same time, several smaller ships suddenly sailed out, a big man stood at the head of the boat, the physique was magnificent, the expression was fierce, stretched out his hand to stop, although the river wind was very great, but his voice was still clearly transmitted into the cabin.

"The Baige Gang intercepts the bandits, and the boatman stops sailing slowly!"
