Sleepless at night, when he was a child, he fell into the rivers and lakes, and the heart of defending people was almost integrated into his bones.

Especially when escorting Luo Xiangzhu at this time, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and a pair of tricks, like eagle eyes, sharply glanced at the wooden boat, the guy and the captain.

He thought again: "It's okay if you just raise the price, but the people who are most afraid of killing people and setting fires, and outlaws, are hiding among these three people." ”

Thinking about this level, he looked at it more carefully.

Xu was staring at the captain and making people unhappy.

The captain rolled up his sweaty sleeves, pinched his fingers and calculated: "This sister, you two and one horse, only to charge you sixty-six yuan, really risking the law to lower the price for you again." My ship has to be maintained, my guys have to eat, and I can barely earn you anything after all these expenses. ”

The implication is that he thinks that Sleepless looks at him, and he is thinking that the boat is expensive.

Sleepless at night ignored these words.

It is understandable that he is so suspicious, but it is this ship that appears very evil; But after looking up and down, he looked left and right, and he didn't find anything abnormal, so normal that he had nothing to say.

This man, a thin old man, has wrinkles on his face, extending to the corners of his mouth, forming a commonly known "crying line", at first glance it is a bitter haha of the people, with calluses on his hands, but it should be caused by rocking the oars and swinging the oars, not making the sword and sword;

The two guys were born strong, but looking at their tethered mooring boats, they used dead energy, which shows that they have no foundation in martial arts.

These three people don't smell of blood, they don't have murderous energy, and they don't look like extremely vicious people.

This wooden boat is just an ordinary wooden boat, and it doesn't look like it's equipped with a mechanism.

The cabin below deck is a little thicker, the draft is a little deeper, and it is estimated that some heavy objects are piled up, and it is not uncommon for people who want to come out to make a living as extradition to carry some daily luggage with them in the cabin.

"People are not strongmen, ships are not thieves, what am I afraid of?" Sleepless at night pondered, "Although people must be cautious, do not be suspicious. Even if you think about it at worst, these three people are evildoers, I have a loose sword in my hand, and a few powerful sword moves, a small wooden boat, don't you dare to get on? ”

It is also the recent road of rivers and lakes, which has gone relatively smoothly, and after not finding any obvious abnormalities, his suspicions have gradually disappeared.

He spat out a turbid breath and followed the words of the captain: "Okay, it's not easy for you to make a living, so I won't bargain with you, sixty-six wen will be sixty-six." But don't ask for a temporary price increase when you get to Jiangxin! ”

The captain shouted, "You sister, why do you need to say this to insult me!" I have been rocking the ferry on the Xiangjiang River for more than 30 years, and I have always said that it is as much as I can before getting on the boat. ”

Sleepless didn't pay attention to him, went to lead the horse under the tree, helped Luo Xiangzhu, shook the boat, and put the package on the deck.

The ship was not very large, but the deck was sturdy, and there was no pressure for the five of them and a horse.

The captain jumped to the bow of the boat, took out a flask, took a leisurely sip of wine, and shook the pulp when he shouted the trumpet.

The two men untied the ropes, collected the anchor, put up the sails, and sat on the left and right sides of the boat, and with the captain's horn, they also shook the oars on both sides.

For a moment, the wind blew the sails, the ship was drinking water, slowly changed the bow of the cabin, and headed for the opposite shore.

The boat was steady, and it was gradually relieved after sleepless nights, and beckoned Luo Xiangzhu to sit on the deck.

Luo Xiangzhu sat down, leaned aside, and said, "Amian, you can also sit." ”

Ye Wuxian shook his head and said loudly: "I am a northerner, and I am still seasick when I stand, let alone sitting." It's better to stand. ”

Luo Xiangzhu got up and said, "Then I will stand with you too." ”

Sleepless at night is not really seasickness, but it is a deliberate flaw. If the boatman really has bad intentions, he will start with this flaw, and he will deal with it.

But as if his concern did not exist, the captain heard his loud voice of weakness, and ignored it, but continued to shout and rock the boat.

A gust of river wind blew, blowing his skirt and dancing, and the sound of hunting.

He raised his eyes and saw that the farther away from the shore, the whiter the river sky became. Downstream, the river is connected to the sky, and the water and the sky are the same color, and there is no obvious difference between the water and the sky. It's just that the green mountains on both sides of the strait, the clouds in the sky, each floating and dotted, this is the difference between water and sky.

The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the night is sleepless and open-minded.

Thinking of some ancient texts and Tang poems with powerful sword moves, he said in his heart: "What Wang Bo said about 'autumn water grows together and the sky is the same color', it should be the same." I also heard that Wang Zhilian has a sentence of 'the Yellow River is far above the white clouds', which is also quite similar to this scene. ”

Autumn is overwhelming, and the cold wind on the river is gradual.

When he was about to reach Jiangxin, Luo Xiangzhu was shivering from the cold. Sleepless hurriedly took out a single coat from the package on the ground and put it on with her.

That is, when I bent down to pick up the package, my hand touched the deck and I felt a strange movement.

This movement was not caused by the people on the deck walking, nor by the oars, nor by the water, but by the movement in the cargo hold below deck.

His heart shook violently: "Could it be that there are still people hidden in this cargo hold?" ”

quickly glanced at the captain, but saw that the captain's eyes were also looking at himself, and when he saw himself looking, he hurriedly looked away, took out the wine jug and came to drink again, pretending to be indifferent.

Sleepless Night's face sank, and he already had the worst in his heart.

Feeling the movement below the deck, she quickly returned to her normal look, put on Luo Xiangzhu's clothes, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, there is a ghost in this boat, I will tighten my left hand later, don't fall into the river." ”

His right hand was quietly pressed on the scabbard at his waist, and when something was wrong, he drew his loose sword to deal with it.

Luo Xiangzhu's pretty face turned white in an instant, a little unnatural, clenched his fists, and approached the hand of the sleepless night. Nervously watching him, waiting for him to move.

The boat traveled for a while, and happened to reach the heart of the river, the wind and waves became more and more urgent, and the lonely goose flew low, and wailed for a long time; The river shook the paddle and splashed the cold waves.

Sleepless suddenly looked at the captain and said, "Your deck is so thick, what are the things in the cabin?" ”

The captain's face froze, and then he forced a smile: "Hehe, it's our daily necessities." ”

Sleepless at night: "Are daily necessities so heavy?" I look at your hull, the draft is very deep! ”

The captain said: "You sister doesn't know that the people who do our business, eat three meals a day, eat, drink, and sleep, and are only on the boat, so there are naturally more things." There are many things, and it goes without saying that they are heavy. ”

Sleepless at night, he said "oh" and said, "Do daily necessities also move around?" ”

The captain's face changed greatly, and he forcibly explained: "It's just that the old round pillow has fallen, so it's rolling around." ”

There was a "bang", and the loose sword was unsheathed.

Sleepless at night looked at the captain, not looking directly at the deck, the internal force was sudden, the tip of the sword sank, stabbed straight to a certain place, straight through the deck, and the inside was quite deep.

I only heard a wail, and I pulled out my sword without sleep, and there was a piece of white flower paste in the middle of the sword body, and blood was dripping from the end of the sword.

It seems that the people below the deck were directly pierced through the head.

Ye Wumian sneered: "Will your round pillow still bleed?" ”

Seeing that there was nothing to hide, the captain "banged", pulled out a bright knife from the hidden box on his side, and was about to cut it, his movements were clumsy, but his eyes were fierce.

Sleepless at night picked up Luo Xiangzhu, jumped up, flew a kick, hit the chest, kicked the captain down the river, and occupied his original position.

There was a loud "fluttering edge", and the deck "crackled" and was lifted two floors, revealing the space below. The four men jumped onto the deck, and the ship shook from side to side, up and down.

There was also a person in the cargo hold, holding a nine-ring machete, but his head was pierced and he was lying facing the sky.

The blood and white flowers' brains flowed out of a cabin, and it seemed that he couldn't survive, only his body was still twitching and struggling.

The smell of blood seeped out of the cargo hold and reached the deck, causing Luo Xiangzhu to retch a few times, frowning after sleepless night.

But the four men sniffed and did not smell, did not carefully examine the wounds, did not rescue him, and let the machete-armed man lie down, living and dying at will, as if they did not know him.

Sleepless at night, frightened.

It turned out that the cargo hold was so thick and the draft of the ship was so deep, not because there were any daily necessities stacked inside, but because there were five people hidden.

It was also his fate, the man who held the nine-ring machete, wanted to sneak attack from below, but he predicted the sound, and the first strike was strong, and a sword ended his life.

Otherwise, at this moment, I don't know what kind of murderous situation I will fall into.

Sleepless at night protected Luo Xiangzhu, let her stand firm, clinged to the rail, and carefully fell down the river.

A loose sword is placed across the chest, blocking the vital point and preventing the sneak attack of the hidden weapon.

His eyes were like knives, and he looked at the four men.

Of these four people, one of them was ugly and tall, nine feet long, with big shoulders and a round waist, legs as thick as tree trunks, weighing at least 300 catties, and holding two copper hammers with gilded patterns, which were very huge, and I am afraid they were more than 100 catties.

The other three were all of medium to thin stature, and they were all carrying light weapons.

The only thing that came to weigh down the ship's deep draft was the strong man and his weapons.

There was a person who was a little familiar, dressed as a scholar, wearing a scribe's crown on his head, wearing a cyan robe to block the river breeze, and a dragon scale iron sheath long sword in his hand, and his eyes looked sleepless at night.

I was sleepless at night and felt nauseous and nauseous, and I always felt that this person had been seen somewhere.

This scholar-looking person pointed to the sleepless night, and said to the young man next to him: "The big boss, this sister is the stunning maid I met outside the old street of Dongshi."

How? The little brother didn't boast about Haikou, right? Is it the color of the country, is it shocking? I've been following all the way, and it's worth it to ask you to ambush here! ”

On the young man's face, there was a conspicuous black birthmark, which grew on the right masseter muscle, and with the twitching of his face, the birthmark also writhed.

Sleepless at night and secretly said: "This person is really ugly." "Took a sip secretly.

The birthmark man looked at Ye Sleepless, then looked at Luo Xiangzhu, and suddenly laughed and said, "Lai Cong, you are really smart." The maid is certainly good-looking, but the panicked little white face she is tightly guarding is even more beautiful.

You only see the maid and don't see her, it's really a pig can't eat fine chaff! ”

Lai Cong wondered: "The big boss, the little white face she protects, no matter how good her posture is, she is only a man." The big boss is a wise man, but don't be confused for a while, change his temperament, and become more manly, and provoke the brothers on the road to laugh! ”

The birthmark man said angrily: "Lao Tzu, your mother, turn you to another character in the township." That man was just a woman dressed as a man! I'll tear off the hat from her head later, so you can see it clearly. ”

Lai Cong looked at Luo Xiangzhu and hissed, amazed, looking her up and down, as if he didn't believe it. Luo Xiangzhu was a little hairy and hid behind the sleepless night.

Sleepless nights are not good.

This big boss, although he is very ugly, but his eyes are vicious, and he can see at a glance that Luo Xiangzhu is a woman dressed as a man and is different.

He looked at Lai Cong and said expressionlessly: "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be the scholar I saw when I entered the old street of Dong City more than half a month ago. You're amazing, you didn't do anything that day, and you didn't do it until today. ”

Seeing the greedy gaze in Lai Cong's eyes that day, he thought it was just a passerby, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Who would have thought that this "passerby" was actually an idiot, who secretly played stalking, and couldn't bear it for more than half a month halfway.

It wasn't until he colluded with the big boss and others that he specially designed a trap here, and he thought he was stable, and then he showed his true identity.

Such endurance is truly amazing.
