To the winter month, it is the number of nine cold days, the Han River floats up pieces of white, the cold wind is cold, and the snowflakes are also swaying with the wind, falling on the Qingjiang River. Although the snow scenery is beautiful, no one on the river has anything to admire, and they are wrapped in the boats to avoid the cold, just waiting for the last net of fish, and after moving the last box of goods to go home to rest and keep warm, they are all ordinary people with their own lives.

"Alas, Lao Li," said a fisherman in a cloak standing on the bow of the boat, pointing to the boat without a flag sail, and said to his accomplices: "Look at the big barge, do you think that the wind on the boat is not cold enough in this cold winter? ”

"Okay, that big ship looks like a rich family, you don't care what you do if you eat the last meal or not. His companion didn't seem to care, and waved his hand and went about his business.

At this time, on the big barge, more than a dozen people standing by the side of the boat stood in the cold wind and looked at the fishing boats coming and going on both sides of the Han River. And at this time in the cabin. A bearded man wrapped in a headcloth listens to his men's report.

"How's it going, did you catch that little ghost?"

"Qiyu Gang Master, caught it, he picked up on the side of the boat, and almost let him run away. ”

"Hmph," the man snorted coldly, "he was caught in the boat for fear of trouble, but now it's going to cause even more trouble." ”

"Helper, now that you have caught him, what should you do?"

"Don't worry, there are many poor people fishing in this river, wait until the fork in front of him and throw him into the river to feed the fish!"

"Flutter-knock......" There was a sudden sound of falling water outside the door, and the gang leader had time to ask, and a figure rushed in: "Gang leader, no, that little ghost somehow escaped and jumped into the water to escape, and when he left, he poked a hole in the place where the goods were placed, and now the snow is pouring inside." ”

"What!!" the bearded gang leader jumped to his feet, "then what are you waiting for? everyone hurry up and let me go to the warehouse to get the goods out." ”

"Helper, that little ghost is not caught?"

"Catch what, catch what, that batch of goods is in the water, and we all have to lose our heads. Hmph, damn it, when I catch you, I'm going to pick your skin and pull your tendons!" the man said through gritted teeth.

"Fauber, full bloom, such a beautiful view, I can't miss it. Two days later, the sky was clear, and two women were sitting on the edge of a small boat enjoying the winter scenery. One of the women was wearing a long skirt with a purple and blue background, and her long black and beautiful hair was coiled into a bun with a golden hairpin, and a red flower was lit between her eyebrows. There is no rouge between the lips, but it is also bright red and gorgeous, and there is no lead powder on the face (yes, you heard it right, the Tang Dynasty took lead makeup, and it had to be applied all the way to the neck!) is not very fair, but because she has been in the cold winter for too long, she shows a little ruddy, thin eyebrows and almond eyes, a soft voice, and a graceful posture like a rich lady. After sitting on the side of the boat for a long time, she simply leaned on the black pong and took off her boots and socks, revealing her slender jade feet in the water, only to see that the arch of her feet was straight, although it was not a three-inch golden lotus, it was also very beautiful, the five toes were slightly longer with her thumbs, and the five toenails were set on the five toes like petals, like a precious shell in a mussel. However, the river water of the nine cold months is something she can bear, and after a little temptation, she shrank back, frowning and exclaiming: "Hiss———, it's so cold, it's so cold." ”

"Alas, Mademoiselle. The woman in a plain cloth robe sitting next to him glanced at her resentfully, took out a thick coat from the black pong and draped it over his body, and complained: "How many times have I said it, so that you will catch a cold, but you just don't listen." ”

"Alas, thank you Sister Xueqing for your concern," the young lady smiled and ripped off her winter coat, "But I'm not so expensive, I've suffered a lot more cold than this in the past few years in Shuzhong, let me play again." As he spoke, he lazily lay on the side of the boat and wiped his sleeves. His hands hung down from the edge of the boat, sometimes picking up a few strands of crushed ice to play with, and sometimes letting the cold river water flow through his fingers to feel the coolness of winter.

"Ah!!" The maid next to her Xue Qing jumped when she saw this scene, and took the young lady's hand and dragged it back: "Well ↘, there is a fork in the river in front of you, you are so easy to fall, if you fall, how can I explain to the old lady." ”

The young lady didn't care about it, she simply closed her eyes and lay on the boat and said, "Oh, it's hard to come out, Sister Xueqing, can't you let me have a good time?" ”

"No," Xue Qing shook her head, "When you get to Shuzhou, then you have the protection of your Dugu family, you can do whatever you want, but if something happens here, I can't afford to be responsible." If you are truly good for me, get up. ”

"Okay, okay, I heard you are Sister Xueqing," the young lady pouted, and sat up on the side of the boat no longer.

"Huh, I shouldn't have believed your nonsense, and I secretly ran out of Luoyang with Fu Bo with you. Qingxue was puffing up when she said this, and her face was like a bun, which was very cute.

"Okay, Sister Xueqing, I will never cause trouble on this journey, besides, aren't you also here for Xue Geese? The young lady patted Xue Qing's head, and Xue Qing was no longer angry when she heard the word Xue Yan. Suddenly, she glared and pointed to her arm and said, "Miss, where's your bracelet?" ”

"Ah," said the young lady, who stood up in a hurry, groped her body, "Where has it been? Where have you gone, oops, you must have accidentally fallen into the water when you pulled me just now." With that, she went into the dock and changed into a plain cloth dress.

"Miss, you, you, what are you going to do?"

"Forber, stop the boat, I'm going down to the river to find it. ”

"Ah, you crazy miss? The water is so cold, can you still go down? Is your life important or the bracelet important? ”

"That's what Granny Chu gave me, it's worth a hundred taels of gold, if you don't let me go down, you go down and help me find it." The young lady's tone was unquestionable, and Xue Qing was stunned when she heard it. While she was stunned, the young lady jumped down into the river and never floated again. Xueqin's face suddenly turned white with fright, and she shouted: "Fu Bo, stop the boat quickly, Miss she doesn't know how to .........

"Ahem, ahem, poof—" Mademoiselle had just come to her senses and spat out a large mouthful of water, "Where am I here?" she touched her head and looked around, and found that it was almost late at night, and she was lying by a fire, and opposite her was sitting a slender figure filling the fire with firewood, only to see that she had dark skin and loose hair, but she was wrapped in a turban, like a slender man, and her limbs were very slender. Before she could see the man's face clearly, she suddenly remembered her bracelet and quickly sat up and looked around.

"Are you looking for this?" the man on the other side suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse, as if she had been tired for days and nights. Then he put down the wooden stick in his hand, and took out a large number of jade bracelets from his arms, only to see that the jade bracelets were warm and dense, transparent and pure, and the jade was white and flawless, without a trace of variegation, like clotted fat, shining brightly under the light of the fire. "Hey, it's an active west, no wonder my sister is going to jump into the water to find it, and you really have a lot of strength to throw it into my fish basket. I didn't expect someone to follow. As he spoke, he handed it to her.

The young lady carefully took the bracelet, and then immediately held it in her arms and carefully observed it for a long time, and after confirming that it was okay, she showed a knowing smile, and looked at the man's gaze with a little more admiration, "This bracelet is worth a hundred taels of gold, he actually has no purpose for himself, he must be a righteous gentleman." As he spoke, regardless of his weakness that had just drowned, he half-stood up with the trunk of a tree on the side and walked with great difficulty: "Thank you for saving me." ”

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just a matter of raising your hands, don't go down after you don't know the water, I call Zhang Nianxin a person who eats by water, you ......" Zhang Nianxin took a closer look at her hands, although they were a little calloused, but they were also very white, "Your hands don't look like a worker, not an ordinary person, right?"

"Ah..." As soon as she heard that he was just an ordinary fisherman, the young lady's eyes suddenly had a little more contempt: "My surname is Dugu, my name is Feng, and I am a member of Luoyang's Dugu family." ”

Zhang Nianchen couldn't help but take a long breath, widened his eyes and said, "The Dugu family after one door and three queens." ”
