『Volume 3: The Volume of Fire』 "Red Flame Heroes" Chapter 8 Pinshan discusses the urgency of water boats
The boat went forward again, and Ai couldn't see Zhan Feipeng chasing after him, so he put away the Red Flame Farewell Knife and sat down on the bow of the boat.
Wu Lian walked up to her side, "Sister Ai, you go to the cabin and rest for a while." I'll keep it for you. As he spoke, he raised the bamboo pole in his hand.
Ai Li couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard that he no longer called himself a heroine and called him a sister instead. But it's a lot more affectionate.
Thinking of his actions just now, Ai Li suddenly felt that this little monk was actually quite clever. She was used to being a senior sister, and although she was tired, she still said to him: "You go and rest first, I'm not tired yet." ”
Wu Lian didn't obey and dragged her into the cabin. Ai Li smiled lightly and sat down to rest.
After closing her eyes for a while, she remembered the elixir given by Cangshi, so she took out the porcelain bottle and took a pill.
After a while, a steady stream of blazing air rose in the dantian, and she hurriedly concentrated her mind and guided it back to its place. A few weeks later, she opened her eyes again, and her depleted inner breath was rejuvenated.
She couldn't help but secretly exclaim that such a elixir is rare in the world, and at a critical moment, a pill can even save a person's life. Cangshi gave her four at once, which was really generous.
Her inner breath had returned, and she suddenly felt hungry. A fresh smell led her out of the cabin to check. It turned out that the boat boss had cooked a pot of thick fish porridge.
The boat boss and her are old acquaintances. When he saw her coming, he gave her a bowl of porridge.
Ai Li thanked him and unceremoniously reached out to take it.
The porridge had just been cooked and was steaming. She held the bowl and blew it, and just opened her mouth to eat, she suddenly remembered Wulian. She looked left and right and found him standing in the corner of the boat, staring at her. Ai Li beckoned to him to come and eat, but he shook his head.
Ai Li then remembered that he was a monk and couldn't eat meat, so he asked the boat boss to make another pot of vegetarian porridge for him.
It was extremely time-consuming to boil porridge, and Wulian squatted next to watch the fire. Ai Li sat on the side of the boat, blowing hot air and eating porridge slowly.
However, she soon became unable to eat. Wu Lian, who was squatting on the side, peeked at her from time to time, like a kitten who had been abused by her owner, and her eyes were pitiful.
Ai Li thought that he was very hungry after tossing all night, and it was impossible for Wulian, a little monk who was growing his body, not to be hungry, so he got up and gave him a small half bowl of fish porridge, "Why don't you eat a little less, and pad your hunger first." ”
Wu Lian looked at the fish porridge and swallowed her saliva, still shaking her head, "It's not an emergency, you can't open the vows." ”
Ai said strangely: "Is it urgent to open the ring?"
Wu Lian nodded, "The master said that it is a matter of life and death, and you can't stick to small sections, and you can only open the vow at that time." Now is not the time of life and death. ”
Ai Li heard him say solemnly, and asked again, "Then have you ever opened the ring?"
Wulian nodded honestly.
Ai said: It turns out that you have opened the vows, so it will be easy to do. Open once is open, open a hundred times is also open. She has a strong desire to protect, and she can't see the little guy suffering, and the little monk doesn't commit meat or anything, she doesn't take it seriously at all. The thought of having to walk with him for a long time, if he was to watch while he was eating meat, it was really unbearable. But if you want to go vegetarian with him yourself, it's really hard to do. In this case, it is better for him to open his vows as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she nodded solemnly and handed the porridge to Wulian again, "Master Ling is right, don't stick to the subsections. Eat it!"
"That's not what the master said. Wulian looked at the porridge and then at Ai Li, her eyes full of hesitation and struggle.
"What's wrong?" Ai Li looked at him lovingly, "It's a matter of life and death, and you can't stick to small sections. On the other hand, it can also be explained that it doesn't matter what happens in normal times, just don't lose your heart when it matters. ”
"But ......" Wulian still wanted to insist.
Ai Li's face sank, and he handed over the porridge bowl again, "Master Ling asked you to listen to me, you have to eat whatever I tell you to eat." If you don't obey, don't follow me anymore!"
Wulian was still hesitating.
Ai Li sneered, "It seems that you don't want to follow me? ”
Wu Lian showed fear in her eyes, hesitantly took the porridge bowl, and finally lowered her head and ate it.
Seeing that he was eating vigorously, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of Ai Li's mouth.
Wulian was so hungry that she ate in a hurry, and she was stuck by a fish bone without paying attention.
Ai Li hurriedly patted him on the back, "Eat slowly, the porridge is still there, and I won't rob you." ”
Wulian finally swallowed the fish bone, still keeping her head down, but eating much more slowly. As he ate, a few droplets of water rolled down his face into the porridge bowl.
Ai Li looked at him like this, and said, "I don't think you have been a monk for long. ”
"How do you know?" said Wulian looked up with tears in her eyes.
Ai Li smiled silently, walked to the bow of the boat and sat down, leisurely admiring the scenery.
After Wu Lian finished eating, she rubbed behind her. Ai patted his side without looking back. Wulian sat down against her.
The river breeze blows in his face, carrying a cool dampness. He followed her gaze, and in front of him was the endless river water, except for the water and the water, and the endless peaks on both sides, except for the mountains and mountains, which were not new and interesting at all.
After sitting for a while, Wulian couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ai, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the landscape. Ai Li replied lightly.
Wulian tried to open her eyes wide, only to feel that the mountains were similar, the water was the same, and there was really nothing to see. Then he asked, "What's so beautiful about the landscape?"
Ai Li withdrew his gaze from the distance and glanced at him, "When I was young, I didn't think the landscape was beautiful. But my father loved to look at the landscape. At that time, I also asked him, "What is the beauty of the landscape?" My father told me, "Look at this mountain towering into the clouds, it is not afraid of any wind and rain, but it stands firmly." The water is bottomless, and even after countless obstacles, it must insist on flowing eastward. To be a man is to be like this landscape, strong and unyielding, and never turn back. ”
"To be a man is to be like this landscape, strong and unyielding, and never turn back. Wulian muttered, "Uncle said it so well!"
Ai Lizhong looked into the distance again, "Later, when I looked at the mountains and rivers, I realized the greatness of the mountains and rivers, and how small people are compared to the mountains and rivers. Every time I am accompanied by mountains and rivers, I feel that the troubles of the world are really insignificant. ”
Wu Lian was silent for a while, and then said, "But there are many times when you don't intend to cause trouble, but trouble will automatically come to you. ”
Ai Li let out an "um" and stopped answering. The two sat quietly together and watched the landscape.
The boat moved forward quickly, and the landscape in front of it was constantly changing. As the sun rises higher and higher, the surface of the water sparkles with gold, and fish and shrimp can often be seen swimming freely at the bottom of the water. The distant mountains and green trees are continuous, verdant and pleasant, and there are birds chirping from time to time. Wulian slowly tasted the interest of the landscape and gradually became fascinated.
Walking through mountain after mountain, the boat came to a wide river, Ai Li suddenly sighed and got up, "You're right, people don't want to find troubles, but troubles often come to the door by themselves." ”
She walked to the stern of the boat and made a gesture to meet the enemy.
Wulian followed her to the back of the boat. Not far away, a small clipper was speeding after him.
On the bow of the clipper, a man stood in the wind. He was dressed in a black robe and soap pants, with a mighty figure, like the head of a ship made of black iron. The person who came was Zhan Feipeng, who had changed his clothes.
On closer inspection, Ai Li found that the outside of the small clipper was carved with a moire water beast. This pattern can only be used by the government, and this is actually a government inspection ship!
Such clippers can only carry a maximum of six or seven people, but they are the fastest among small boats. Ai Li couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart: this Zhenguo Temple is so powerful in this place that it can actually allow Zhan Feipeng to mobilize the official ship.
Wu Lian couldn't help but worry, "That ship is so fast. Zhan Feipeng's guy is really entangled. ”
Ai Li smiled at him, "It's okay, it's just a little trouble." ”
As the ship got closer and closer, someone shouted at the boat to stop immediately.
The boat boss looked at Ai Li at a loss.
Ai Li took the silver taels and gave it to him, "Sell me this boat." If the official asks, you say that you are forced to be helpless. ”
The boss of the boat put away the silver taels, and a fierce man plunged into the water and swam away quickly.
As soon as the boat boss left, the boat stopped in the water. Ai Li stood at the stern of the boat and whispered a few words to Wu Lian. Wu Lian's face changed, and although she was very scared, she still nodded and quietly retreated.
When the official ship was still three or four feet away from the boat, Zhan Feipeng exerted his strength under his feet and couldn't wait to jump on the boat. Ai Li's boat shook violently by the force of his landing. Immediately after, the four figures of "Brush Brush Brush", and the rest of the sword mound guards also jumped onto the boat.
Zhan Feipeng shouted majestically: "Demon girl, look where you are fleeing this time!"
Ai Lixiu's eyebrows furrowed, "Zhan Daxia, why do you need to be like this." Even if I borrow the Golden Flame Divine Soldier from Zhenguo Temple in the name of the Flame Knife, I will return it after I use it. That's always okay, right?"
"If it's the knife next to it, it's okay to say that the Golden Flame Divine Weapon is a sacred weapon of Zhenguo Temple, and it will not be borrowed. ”
"You really don't borrow?"
"Don't borrow!"
Ai Li lowered his face, "The knife of the knife mound is originally obtained by those who can do it." Telling you to borrow is just treating each other with courtesy. You are so ignorant of what is good or bad, I am really afraid that you will not succeed?" As she spoke, she suddenly dodged and retreated into the cabin.
"Demon girl, you can't escape!" Zhan Feipeng hurriedly chased in, and the four guards followed.
A few people entered the cabin, only to find that Ai Li was waiting for them all the time.
Zhan Feipeng shouted: "Demon girl, quickly return the Golden Flame Divine Soldier!"
Ai Li smiled contemptuously, "I think I've been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I've never seen a man as stingy as you." A big man is always chasing people for things, are you ashamed?"
Zhan Feipeng's face turned blue and he was about to answer, but he saw Ai Li suddenly draw a knife. He immediately drew his sword in his hand, ready to fight.
However, Ai Li did not attack him, but quickly slashed at the canopies on both sides.
Zhan Feipeng was stunned, and when she was thinking about the meaning of her move, the canopy made of bamboo collapsed with a "bang", covering everyone at once, wrapping everyone tightly.
Ai Li retreated one step earlier, picked up Wulian who was waiting outside, and flew to jump onto the official ship opposite.
There were still two people on the official ship holding the pulp, and when they saw Ai Li on the boat, they couldn't help but look like earth. Ai Li kicked them one by one, and kicked them into the water.
Zhan Feipeng and the others struggled in the cabin canopy, not daring to use knives for fear of hurting their own people. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and Zhan Feipeng exerted his strength, shaking the cabin into pieces, and the five of them saw the light of day again.
Out of the canopy, Zhan Feipeng immediately looked around, but saw Ai Li standing on the official ship, already far away.
Ai Li smiled slightly, "Thank you Zhan Daxia for giving the boat." And when I finish my important business, I will return the Golden Flame Divine Soldier. As she spoke, she pushed the boat farther and farther away.
Zhan Feipeng was furious and wanted to jump into the water to chase him, but was stopped by a person beside him, "The water is deep here, don't act recklessly!"
Zhan Feipeng was furious, and yelled at Ai Li, who quickly disappeared out of sight: "Ai Li, I will definitely not let you go next time!"
The man next to him said: "There is a canyon called Lingfeng Gorge in front of this river, which is extremely steep, and it is the territory of the twelve chain docks in the south of the Yangtze River. Its chief helmsman, Zhou Tianrun, once owed me a personal favor. Let's fly the pigeon and let him intercept in front. ”
Another person said: "But back then, Zhou Xiaoyang, who 'crossed the river with a sword', hadn't seen him for many years, and I didn't expect that he had become the chief helmsman of the Twelve Ring Docks." This person is very good in the water/kung fu, and the water array is known as unrivaled on the rivers and lakes. Even if the flame knife is cunning, against the water array of the twelve chain docks, there can only be no return. ”
Zhan Feipeng had already calmed down, and a pair of eagle eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, "Just do as you say!"
