009 Chapter 4 Crossing the River 01

The two of them did not have to go anywhere, but went to a place with a lot of people, like a boat that was not tied. They are not in a hurry, they talk as they go, and tell their lives.

Chu Qingliu talked about the origin of his father-in-law, who was the bookkeeper of the riverside wharf, and he was not a person from the rivers and lakes, so there was not much to say. Master's affairs are more troublesome, Chu Qingliu started from Kunlun Mountain, and went straight to the Hundred Knife Mountain Rebellion Alliance. However, the matter of the Kongtong faction proposing marriage and Su Xianbai and his wife was not mentioned, the former was not allowed to be said by the master, and the latter was not clear and too involved, and there was no need to say it.

Mei Zhanxue's father, Mei Hongtai, the old dart head of Jing Xiang Kainan Dart Bureau, has a son and a daughter, the daughter is Mei Zhanxue, and she also has an elder brother named Mei Zhanfeng. Mei Zhanxue ran out of a big accident this time, she had never been out of the house before, and she actually knew very little about the things on the rivers and lakes, and she didn't even know Wu Baoqi's name, let alone Chu Qingliu.

Chu Qingliu had already heard of this Kainan Dart Bureau, and he was never unfamiliar. Although the name of the dart board is Kainan, the business has done greatly, and the semicolons are all over the north and south, and the name of Kainan is still retained, but it is just nostalgic. The old dart head Mei Hongtai relied on the family heirloom "Battle Formation Knife Technique" to create a blockbuster career with his white hands, and his martial arts and intelligence must have been very outstanding, and the name of "Plum Knife" was also resounding in the north and south. Mei Zhanfeng, nicknamed "Mei Xiaodao", has a fatherly style in the world, and is also a powerful character. However, Chu Qingliu had only heard of it, and he had never seen the two, and he had no relationship with the dart game.

Mei Zhanxue is spoiled by her parents and brother, and she is playful and active by nature, and she has not worked hard. The Mei family's knife technique is a fierce and powerful category, first to practice the fierce spirit, and then return to the light, and study a variety of small and subtle methods, which is very unsuitable for women to practice, she has only finished learning, but learned from her mother and Zhang's mother small kung fu such as short swords. The internal strength has a foundation, but due to the age and experience, it is naturally difficult to compare with Chu Qingliu.

That being said, after all, she is from a famous family, and she has been practicing since she was a child, compared to women of the same age, she is already very good, and it is not difficult to deal with some clay stick thieves. In addition, there is a mother Zhang secretly escorting, and she is lucky, she has traveled thousands of miles along the way, and she has won all the battles, so there will be a vicious drama of fighting for the table and cutting down trees. After this setback, I can't help but feel that I hate less when I use martial arts.

Chu Qingliu said: "That Mother Zhang, who are you?" Mei Zhanxue hurriedly said: "I have already compensated you, why do you still ask?" Chu Qingliu smiled: "Your eldest brother is not so stingy, if you don't, you will never mention it in the future." If anyone mentions it again, they will punish her ----" Mei Zhanxue said curiously: "What is the punishment?" Chu Qingliu said: "Punish you for carrying a package for one day." I'm just curious, how can she make the martial arts of the Kongtong faction. ”

Mei Zhanxue said: "My mother is from the Kongtong faction, she married my mother, she brought up my brother and brought me up." Chu Qingliu already knew that the master refused to marry back then, and the grudge had not been resolved so far, but he didn't care too much, so he didn't ask.

Walking to a lively town, the two asked a tailor to mend Chu Qingliu's sleeves, and Mei Zhanxue took back the scarf. According to Mei Zhanxue, she wanted to buy a horse, Chu Qingliu couldn't bear to be rebellious, with her coming to the horse market, who wanted the price of horses to be high, the silver of the two was only more than thirty taels together, just enough to buy a thick horse for half a pear,

A penny stumped the hero, and it also stumped the hero, so I had to give up.

After staying overnight that night, the two came to a remote place outside the town, Mei Zhanxue used Chu Qingliu's long sword as a knife, and used the family knife technique again, which was really unique. Chu Qingliu looked at it and wondered what would happen if this sword technique was made by the Mei family's father and son, and what would happen if the master would make it. found that it was impossible for Mei Zhanxue to achieve this sword method quickly, so she could only think of another way.

Wu Baoqi moved to the Western Regions in the past, and often went to sea to build Wanghaizhuang, and got acquainted with Su Xianbai and his wife, Master Kushui, and other ordinary figures, and what he learned was no longer limited to Kunlun martial arts. Chu Qingliu chose a few tricks suitable for Mei Zhanxue on the spot, but he didn't expect her to have an excellent understanding.

Learning martial arts at night and walking during the day is very compatible. It's just that there is no news from both sides of the Hundred Swords Mountain Rebellion Alliance, and after walking for a few days, I haven't even met anyone who practices martial arts, so I can't help but be depressed. This sunrise Yangcheng to the southeast walking, quasi-plan to cross the front of the water river, and then by the Taihang Jingguguan Road over the Taihang Mountain, you can go straight to the Yellow River, then the camera to act, or cross the river, or along the river east. In the middle of the line, seeing that there was no one around, Mei Zhanxue suddenly said: "Big brother, I have a way." Chu Qingliuqi said: "What method?"

Mei Zhanxue said: "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't catch the little tiger---- Chu Qingliu said: "That's called not entering the tiger's den, but the tiger." "Mei Zhanxue Dao" It turns out that you also know, isn't this the old nest of Baidao Mountain? Let's do a few big cases and steal a few big families, they are afraid that they will not be able to sit still, and they will definitely come out, with the people of Baidao Mountain, it will be easy to find the Chaoren Alliance. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "You are very right, after what you said, I also have a good method, let's make a flag, the flag is capitalized with two lines of words, it is called 'punching a hundred knife mountain, kicking and disrupting the alliance'." I'll carry it first, and then you will carry it when I'm tired, so that in less than two days, someone will definitely come to the door. "He wasn't a dull person, he could say whatever he wanted, and his own sister didn't need to be polite. If it is to the eldest brother of the righteous brother, he should have something else.

Mei Zhanxue nodded and thought about it, then rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Are you laughing at me?" Chu Qingliu said: "We want to find out what they are doing, not to fight with them, just the two of us, it is really useless to fight." If you want to fight, you have to figure it out before fighting, let's call it a private interview with Weifu, not an open fire. But your method is not bad, in a few days, if there is no news, let's get some money. ”

After walking out of twenty miles, we came to the river that drained water, and the river was not very wide, and it was just a stone's throw away, and the water flow was gentle. There were not many people crossing the river, and it took almost an hour for half a boat of people to gather. Everyone urged again and again, and only then did two boatmen, one big and one small, come out of the shed, complaining while lazily unmooring and starting the boat.

The ferry boat was offshore, and the little one grabbed a wicker basket to collect money for crossing the river. It doesn't have to be copper money and iron money, the vegetable seller will take a handful of vegetables, and the merchant will take a little needlework and groceries. In front of a farmer in his fifties, the man handed over two eggs, and the boy laughed: "Two eggs are not good, I have three, the boat price has risen for almost two months, you don't often cross the river, right?" The mockery is clear.

The villager was stunned for a moment and said, "My egg has also gone up." The kid was not in a hurry, and said: "I don't want your eggs that have increased the money, you take the money, and with the money, I will buy the eggs myself." "He is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his tongue is so dexterous, and it is because he thinks it is so common.

The farmer said: "Since ancient times, what is there to collect when crossing the river, who said that it must be money?" The boy said: "I also want eggs, but it has to be three." The villager couldn't get the money, and he didn't want to have an extra egg, so he said, "I won't cross this river, you can put me back." ”

The boy sank his face, sneered, and said, "I am about to go halfway here, so why do you go back?" ”

Chu Qingliu grew up at the dock since he was a child, and he often did this work of collecting money, and he was never so unsympathetic. As the saying goes, there are no distant people who often cross the river, and the way is, if you have money, you can cross the river, and if you don't have money, you will cross the river. The temper of the peasant is indeed bad, but it is also forced by this kid.

Just about to reach out and take out the money, her arm was already grabbed by Mei Zhanxue, and she took out a piece of silver the size of five taels, which was still left over from the eight taels in the shop.

Mei Zhanxue said: "Boat family, we gave the uncle's boat money, our brother and sister, even this uncle, the three of them have nine cents, you can find me silver." I don't want copper money and iron money, with strange weight. ”

She doesn't want copper or iron money, but she wants it, so how can that kid find it? Five taels of silver is enough for a small family to spend three or five months on rice and vegetables, and at this time, the boat is in the river, and there is no way to borrow it, how can she find money?

The boy glanced at the long and short swords on the two of them, did not panic, took the silver, and said, "There are no clips and clips on this ship, how can I find your silver? After crossing the river, I'll look for you, and you're not afraid that I'll run away, are you?"

Mei Zhanxue had the heart to find trouble, she didn't want the silver to be taken away now, and her tongue was also deflated, how could she swallow this breath, and said, "Then you will pay me back the silver first." Reaching out to grab his wrist, the kid bared his teeth and claws, refusing and dodging, and said: "There is no reason, if you want to rely on my boat money, it won't work, and I'm not stupid." After a few strokes, the boy crooked, threw himself into the river, and when he sank, he never showed his head again, thinking that he was dead.

The man who set up the boat shouted: "Brother, Xiao Wu!" dropped his sculls and pounced on Mei Zhanxue, shouting: "The crazy woman from there, you drowned my brother, I will fight with you!"

Mei Zhanxue "killed" for the first time, and it was inevitable that she panicked, and she retreated again and again in the face of this fierce man. Chu Qingliu went over to support her and whispered, "Fake, don't be afraid." "Go over and point out a few acupuncture points for the man, throw him into the cabin, pick up the oars and swing the boat. When the boat reached the other side, everyone got off the boat and walked, as if they would not stay longer for a moment. The villager came over to thank him, and Chu Qingliu said, "You don't have to say thank you, you can also walk." ”

There is also a small shed here, Chu Qingliu carried the man into the shed, put away the oars, and put the gangplank on the bow of the boat, which means that the boat will stop today. This rule may not be useful here, so let's give it a try.

Chu Qingliu put the man on the bed, found a rag to plug his mouth, the man's acupoint was pointed, and he couldn't move for six hours, and pulled the broken quilt over him, and when outsiders saw it at first glance, they could only think that he was asleep. pulled Mei Zhanxue to find a place to hide, and waited for the kid who jumped into the river to come back from the water.

Some people crossed the river one after another, and some looked at the gangplank on the bow of the boat and walked away helplessly. If you are unwilling, you have to go to the shack to push the door to see, and some people ask out loud, and when they see that the fierce man just sleeps without saying a word, he has to walk away.

After more than an hour like this, the kid was never seen, Chu Qing said in his heart that this hand was powerful enough, so patient. Looking at this, he may not be able to come back in three days or two. I and Mei Zhanxue are "murderous", and there is no reason to report to the official, so I don't know how much trouble I will get into, and I can't just spend time with them here, so I can only suffer this small dumb loss. Tell Mei Zhanxue about the truth at the moment, Mei Zhanxue was listening impatiently, and saw a person staggering to the ferry.
