Hanging Bridge Sword (II)

As soon as Xu Changan and Li Dao saw the girl enter the house, they left.

They found an inn before staying, and Xiaobai came back from the river. It jumped in through the window, its paws were wet, and I don't know why this little guy helped it to bathe, and it was afraid of water, and when it caught fish, it was not afraid of water.

Xiaobai seemed a little sullen, jumped into Xu Changan's room and lay down next to Xu Changan's pillow regardless of whether his paws were wet or not.

"What's wrong? Not happy if you didn't catch a fish?"

Xiaobai naturally wouldn't tell Xu Changan that he wanted the old black cat who had no discipline, and it barked twice, as if complaining. Xu Changan listened and asked in surprise, "What? There are no fish in the river?"

Xiaobai nodded, Xu Changan combined with Hebo's matter, and he was sure that there was something strange in the water.

Xiaobai has the blood of an ancient divine beast, and he has also absorbed a trace of dragon blood, and his perception is terrifyingly good. Therefore, Xiaobai basically can't go wrong.

Xiaobai glanced at Xu Changan, then lay down and went to sleep.

Li Daoyi's door rang, and Xu Changan told Li Daoyi about it first.

......

The next day, the wind was not dry, the air was comfortable, and the last few red glows of the year hung on the horizon, a bit like the shy faces of the girls.

A man in a yellow robe was surrounded by everyone, and he had two mustaches on his lips, if it weren't for this yellow robe. At first glance, he must be a treacherous and cunning man. Several large villages on both sides of the strait are lively and lively, and flowing water mats are placed from noon to evening, from the head of the village to the end of the village.

Only one person was hungry, she could only drink water, and her stomach was going to be empty. Regardless of whether Hebo married her or ate her, the villagers did not allow her to have dirt in her stomach, as the mage said.

When she heard the bustle outside the door, many people hypocritically said "congratulations" to their father, if this happened to them, they were afraid that they would not be able to say this congratulations.

Suddenly the door opened, and she was a little scared. His parents also reacted very quickly, hurriedly pushed away the toaster, and walked in.

The girl looked at the man who came in, it was a beggar.

When the beggar saw her, he stamped his feet and said, "Look, I said she would come back!"

The girl's parents saw the beggar and recognized it as the beggar who had comforted them the night before, and after a while of discussion, they took out some pieces of silver and handed them to the beggar.

"Thank you, honorable, for this kind of heart. ”

The beggar bared his teeth and smiled, took the broken silver, and pursed his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied, but still with a smile on his face. Last night's two hundred taels of silver tickets were nothing compared to the current broken silver.

"Shall I go and eat a flowing water feast?" asked the beggar suddenly, patting his belly, and his stomach cried twice.

At this time, it was getting late, most of the people had eaten well, and they all went to prepare bamboo rafts and cannonballs, and there were many fewer people eating flowing water mats. The man thought for a moment and nodded.

When the beggar heard this, he danced with joy like a child jumping out of the door.

But the girl always felt that the moment the beggar went out, she glanced at him.

Xu Changan and Li Daoyi stood on a high place, looking at the lively riverbank.

Xu Changan saw a figure and was a little surprised: "Is it him?"

"Who?" asked Li Dao consciously.

"Nobody, a beggar with a familiar face. Li Daoyi didn't care about this, just looked at the flowing water seat below and shook his head.

......

Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.

Night was about to fall, and the mage in the yellow Taoist robe was holding a peachwood sword, and his mouth was reciting a mantra that Li Daoyi, a Taoist disciple could not understand, and he was full of words.

After some bells and whistles, the people tied the girl to a bamboo raft, surrounded by a circle of flowers, and around the flowers, some offerings.

She's never been pretty, but maybe only this once.

All the flowers beside her were not as beautiful as the purple flowers that bloomed in her hands last night. She was pushed into the water, unable to see everything around her, only to look at the dark and dreary sky, and the cheers of acquaintances rang in her ears.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing her floating on the river, the people went back, and no one cared about her, let alone looked at her, and they only thought about the good harvest in the next two years.

Xu Changan and Li Daoyi stared at the river.

It's late at night.

Even in the south, the wind is a little cold.

There was a bamboo raft floating on the river, and strangely, the bamboo raft did not follow the current and went towards the sea, but stopped in the middle of the river.

The lights dimmed, and the cats and dogs fell asleep.

At this time, the sound of rushing water came, and Xu Changan and Li Daoyi were suddenly shocked when they hid on the shore.

In the moonlight, a head poked out of the water, like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon in a painting, but without horns.

Xu Changan had already grasped the long sword, ready to strike at any time.

Naturally, the girl heard the noise, and also smelled a fishy smell, and even a heavy wheezing sound. She was so frightened that she wanted to shout, but she had no strength and couldn't make a sound.

In the moonlight, the monster that looked like a dragon and not a dragon opened its mouth and headed towards the girl, and there was saliva between the upper and lower jaws, like a silver thread pulled open in the moonlight.

Purple light and red light suddenly flickered in front of the girl, and Li Daoyi took advantage of the monster's inattention to rescue the girl from its mouth.

The monster roared suddenly, flicked its tail, and a large splash appeared. took advantage of the splash and bit Xu Changan.

At this moment, a sword suddenly appeared on the bamboo raft, and it was next to the girl just now.

The sword glowed bronze mixed with white, standing silently in the air. When the monster saw this sword, a trace of fear appeared in its eyes, and it immediately escaped into the water and disappeared!

Xu Changan looked at this sword and was extremely surprised.

He had seen this sword last night, and he thought that the beggar was fooling him, but today he saw the deterrent power of this sword!

To be honest, fighting monsters on the surface of the water, he will definitely suffer!

In a daze, a voice came from his ears.

"Little friend, thank you for last night. Also, I will settle this matter perfectly, you can calm the woman's emotions, take her something to eat, and let her sit back on the raft before dawn. ”

Xu Changan recognized this voice, turned his head to look, but couldn't see anyone. Turning his head again, the sword headed towards the shore!

......

On the shore, a beggar bared his teeth and smiled, then shook his head and said to himself in confusion: "Why does this little guy have a faint sea emperor breath?"
