Three-two
"I suddenly remembered Xiao Xu, he stayed on the mountain alone, is it really okay?!"
Xiao Tao whispered to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu frowned and replied,
"What's the matter with a man like him! Moreover, his martial arts are so strong, ordinary people are not his opponents at all! So, don't worry about him, think about yourself first!"
Zhu Zhu smiled, Xiao Tao was still sad,
"Let's go back this time, will anyone still come to make trouble!"
Zhu Zhu replied,
"No, no, don't worry, I'll send someone to protect you!"
As the two of them were talking, the boat jolted and almost didn't shake them both into the water!
Zhu Zhu shouted,
"What's wrong, what's wrong?!"
Tong Lu on the side responded loudly,
"The ship is sinking, the ship is sinking, run for your life!"
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao panicked and ran inside, but the boat shook, and the two of them flew high, and then fell heavily to the ground!
Tong Lu grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and laughed at the two.
"Haha, it's just that I encountered a torrent, and I scared the two of you!"
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao lay on the board of the boat for a long time, and only after the boat was stable did they stand up tremblingly.
Zhu Zhu came to Tong Lu's side and asked,
"Brother Lu, you scared me!"
Tong Lu laughed and was about to reply, but Xiao Yi came out of the boat and said,
"There's a hole in the bottom of the boat, maybe it's hitting the reef, let's find a place to stop first, and then let's go after it's repaired!"
Tong Lu looked dazed and said,
"Ah, that's all I said, it's really bad?!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Haven't you fulfilled it many times, you stinky mouth!"
Tong Lu couldn't help shaking his head, but Xiao Yi didn't seem to be worried at all, and said,
"I just asked, there will be people not far ahead, stop and trim it, and go to the shore to rest!"
Zhu Zhu was a little scared and asked,
"This ship is broken, can we still hold out to that place?!"
Xiao Yi pointed forward and said with a smile,
"Isn't it right there!"
Several people looked ahead together, and sure enough, they saw that there were boats docked on the shore where the water was gentle, and there were many buildings on the shore, although they were a little farther away, but they could also see the human figures. From here, it should only be a few dozen zhang away, and with this speed of water, it won't take long to get there!
Yao'er also jumped out of the cabin, giggling and talking,
"Oh, none of you know how to swim, I'm afraid we're going to swim to Lin'an!"
This is naturally a joke, but it still scares Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao enough!
Xiao Tao was a little flustered, and his voice also changed a little.
"We, are we really going to swim? I, I can't!"
Although Zhu Zhu was scared, he quickly understood that Yao'er was teasing the two of them, besides, they would be able to go ashore soon, so what was there to worry about! The most important thing was that Yao'er smiled playfully, and at first glance he knew that he was trying to amuse himself, so he quickly stopped worrying, but comforted Xiao Tao,
"It's okay, you hold on to me, it's absolutely fine!"
Xiao Tao was a little dazed, and said,
"You don't know how to water, you ......"
Zhu Zhu glared at him and said,
"What you listen to me is, what are so many questions!"
Yao'er laughed and said,
"You two, it's so interesting!Hey, I just found something interesting, do you want to hear it?!"
Xiao Yi turned around, and after Tong Lu saw it, he also looked at the other side with a smile, Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao stared at Yao'er, with an innocent look!
Yao'er jumped over, grabbed Xiao Yi, and said loudly,
"Stinky man, don't you really want to hear it?!"
Xiao Yi replied,
"I don't want to hear it, you, let's talk to them!"
After Xiao Yi said this, he struggled to leave, Yao'er snorted twice and said,
"Alright, alright, there's a big hole in the bottom of this boat, and I find that it doesn't seem that simple!"
Zhu Zhu asked,
"What's the problem?!"
Someone was listening to him, and Yao'er laughed out loud again and replied,
"I'm telling you, there are people in this water who have set up obstacles to deal with this passing boat! Hehe, you think, our boat has been tricked, so where can we go?!"
Zhu Zhu thought for a moment, opened his mouth wide and replied,
"Oh, oh, you mean there! The bottom of the ship is broken, no one dares to venture far, there is such a place in front of here, so they have to pull over! They, they want to make our money!"
Yao'er laughed, patted Zhu Zhu on the shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile,
"Yes, yes, a little bit of it, a smart man! But that's not all!"
Zhu Zhu's eyes widened and asked,
"Is there anything else besides this?!"
Yao'er was extra serious and nodded back to him,
"That's not it, it should be a common thing to kill people for money!
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao's faces turned pale, and they said,
"So, are we going to go?"
The two of them are timid, Yao'er casually fooled around, and she was scared, hey, that's it, it's better to stay at home more!
Xiao Yi wanted to walk away, but she heard Yao'er say that it was artificial, so she turned around and asked her,
"Stinky girl, tell me, why do you say that someone deliberately set a trap?!"
Yao'er laughed and replied,
"Haha, stinky man, didn't you just ignore me, at this time, how could you have something to ask?!"
Xiao Yibai glanced at her and said,
"Don't talk about pulling down, we have to dock anyway, whether it's like this, you will know when you see it!"
Half of the hull of the ship is already in the water, and hey, this hole is really not small. The place was also close, so Xiao Yi went to help the shore again, this is a water bend, the water is not urgent, but it is easy to stop. In addition, a dozen or so people on the shore had already seen the boat where Xiao Yi was and came over to help, so it didn't take much effort to stop the boat steadily.
As soon as he came ashore, someone came to greet him, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, his skin was black as charcoal, and he seemed to be basking in the sun.
"A few of the boats are broken, why don't they keep sinking! Tsk, there are many reefs in this big river, you still have to be careful!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"Hey, isn't it just a broken ship, as long as the people are okay, that's fine!Hey, little brother, you can help repair it here?!"
The guy patted his chest and replied,
"Little brother has good eyesight! My dozen or so brothers are all first-class masters, and for them, it is very simple to repair this ship!"
Tong Lu was suspicious, and said,
"Oh, that's amazing, hey, let's hurry, we're still in a hurry!"
The young man narrowed his eyes with a smile and said,
"It's just that the craftsmanship is good, and the price is naturally higher! Everyone, look, do you still need to see it?!"
Tong Lu smiled back at him,
"As long as you really have the ability, the money, naturally there will be no shortage of you! Go ahead, the sooner it is repaired, the more our son will give!"
Tong Lu stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Zhu ashore, but Zhu Zhu didn't feel anything, because money was just a number for him!
As soon as the young man heard this, he immediately nodded his head, pointed to a pergola, and said,
"A few people here, please, eat some wine first, and when the brothers repair the boat, it's not too late to leave!"
The young man led a few people into the shed, which was supported by wood on all sides, and some rags were pulled in the middle, which could be regarded as able to shield some wind and rain, but if the wind and rain were a little stronger, it would be unlucky! There were several small stools, each of which he sat down, and the tea had already been prepared, and the young man poured a bowl of it one by one. Xiao Yi took a small bite, the taste was not bad, there was a fragrance, as if it was going to take people's hearts!
Xiao Yi couldn't help but admire, and said,
"Ouch, this tea is good, it tastes quite good!"
The guy responded with a smile,
"That's not, this is tribute tea, it's my eldest brother brought from Yangzhou, I am reluctant to eat it on weekdays, I just boiled a pot today, and I happened to meet a few, so I will share it with you!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"Oh, Yangzhou, a good place, fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, only to see the Yangtze River skyline!
The guy replied with a smile,
"I, I don't have that good fate, just the rural people in this vicinity, I can't eat enough, so I'm still a monkey!
Tong Lu said,
"Hey, isn't your big brother here?!"
The guy replied,
"Big brother went out to run errands, I guess, in the next two days, I should be able to come back!"
Xiao Yi thought to himself, most of them are really as Yao'er said, these people gather here to make some ill-gotten gains, but it doesn't matter, Zhu Zhu has money, and with a wave of his big hand, it will be enough for them to eat for a lifetime! Xiao Yi looked at his ship again, those people have already started to repair the ship, and they are quite serious, hey, in this way, they can barely eat by craftsmanship, if they repair well, they want to give this money, but they will not be so distressed!
Yao'er didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, Xiao Yi glanced at her, sneered, and asked,
"Stinky, why do you keep staring at me, is it a leper on my face?!"
Yao'er smiled and replied,
"No, no, it's just that the stinky man looks very handsome today, and I can't help but take a few more looks!"
Xiao Yi shook his head and wiped his face, how dare he talk again!
The simple conversation between the two has long been accustomed to Tong Lu and others, and they only regard it as a deaf ear. But when this guy heard this, his eyes were red! Xiao Yi felt strange and hurriedly asked,
"Hey, little brother, what's wrong with you?!"
The little brother grinned, forced back the tears in his eyes, and then replied,
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that when you two call each other, I suddenly think of my father! In the past, my father always called my mother stinky mother-in-law, and my mother called my father a rotten dog! Although it sounds like scolding, I know how much they care about each other!"
Xiao Yi asked again,
"And what about your father?!"
The guy still kept a smile and replied,
"I've been dead for several years, and there was a famine that year, and I starved to death!
The young man wiped his eyes and said,
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, you guys eat tea first, I'll go get some food!"
The guy gave a slight salute to a few people, and then retreated. After he left, Xiao Party B opened his mouth again and said,
"I don't think they look like bad people!"
Tong Lu shook his head and replied,
"Not all bad people are born, I think they are also forced to have no way out, so they did such things! Hey, everyone has their own difficulties, you deliberately hurt others, this is still not right!"
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Tao had no idea, and of course they didn't expect them to be able to put forward any opinions! The guides invited by several people looked embarrassed and drank tea by themselves.
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Uncle, when you left before, did you encounter this incident?!"
The other party shook his head and replied,
"I haven't met them, I haven't met them, I guess, I just came here for a while! Oh, yes, I also visited them more than a month ago, and I didn't find them at all!"
Xiao Yi nodded, and looked at Yao'er again, Yao'er looked at him while sipping tea, Xiao Yi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, but she still didn't even blink her eyes!
Xiao Yibai glanced at her and asked,
"Stinky bitch, what do you think?!"
Yao'er giggled twice and replied,
"I don't have an opinion, what the stinky man thinks, I think it is!"
Xiao Yi was speechless, turned his head away, and covered his face with his hand!
While he was thinking about it, there were a few soft roars outside, and the young man hurried to the boat of several people, and after a short time he got off the boat again, and went straight to the shed, and preached to some people.
"I'm sorry, my brothers said, this ship is badly injured, I'm afraid it won't be repaired today! However, we will also hurry up and try to repair the ship in the shortest possible time! We also have a place to live here, if we don't dislike it, we will be able to do it then!"
After the guy finished speaking, he gave another salute and withdrew again!
Xiao Yi thought to himself, it's so obvious, don't you just want to make more money, stay one more night, and you will definitely have a lot of money, hehe, this abacus is really good!
Not long after the young man went out, he brought a large pot of fish and meat! Also, by this river, the most important thing is this fish, and it is the freshest to entertain guests. This fish is not big, it looks like a knife, the flesh of the fish is silver, and the soup is also stewed white, which makes people very appetizing! The young man is very thoughtful, and after putting down the fish, he goes back and takes some wine! Tsk, this is really very intimate!
The guy put down the dishes and chopsticks for everyone, and said with a smile,
"This is the saury fish that I just caught this morning, stewed just right, let's taste it quickly, it tastes quite good! I'll go over and help my brothers first, and if you have something, call me loudly, I'll come over immediately!"
Xiao Yidao,
"Little brother, you can also sit down and eat something!"
The guy responded with a smile,
"Thank you, brother, I'm going to wait for my brothers to finish their work, and then eat together! You eat yours, you eat yours!"
After saying that, the guy retreated again, and ran to the boat!
Tong Lu squinted and spoke,
"Hey, do you think this fish is poisonous in it?!"
Xiao Yi smiled back at him,
"You didn't even suspect tea just now, but now you think of it!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"Of course, people are the easiest to think of medicine in tea, so it is also the easiest to be noticed! When you go down to this fish, it's different! Hehe, maybe, it's just that I'm thinking blindly!"
Tong Lu's chopsticks had already reached for a knife fish, and after picking it up, he put it to his mouth and sniffed it, and then took a hard bite, talking while eating.
"Whatever, eat enough first!"
This fish is more than a foot long, it is really like a knife, Tong Lu bit into the abdomen, it is the most tender place of meat!
"There are a lot of spines, but it's very soft, just swallow it!Well, this fish is very tender, it's a good thing, try it, taste it! If you want to be poisoned, then you can't be alone, what do you say?!"
This guy always likes to talk nonsense, but he should also understand that this group of people doesn't seem to be killing at all, so this thing should be able to eat with confidence! Of course Xiao Yi is not afraid, Bai Qing gave him so many medicines, ordinary poison, he can't bear him at all! The rest of the people are also hungry, and when they saw Tong Lu eating fish, they couldn't help it anymore, and they picked it up and ate people one after another.
Yao'er grinned, poured wine for a few people, and finally handed the wine bowl to Xiao Yi's mouth, and said,
"Stinky man, come, eat a bowl!"
Xiao Yi reached out to take it herself, but she refused, she had to feed it herself, Xiao Yi had no choice, she could only open her mouth wide and eat it in two bites!
Tong Lu said while eating,
"You two are enough, don't forget to be slimy at any time, it's really unappetizing!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"There's food, but I can't stop your mouth!"
Xiao Yi picked up a fish and put it in Yao'er's bowl, the bowl was relatively small, so most of the fish were exposed, Yao'er picked up a large piece of belly meat and put it in Xiao Yi's mouth!
"Hey, look, there's a ship passing by!"
Zhu Zhu couldn't help but sigh when he saw a small boat passing by on the river,
"Hey, why wasn't the ship wrecked?!"
Tong Lu ran outside the shed, looked carefully, and saw that the two small boats were going down the river, and they were not affected in the slightest! He thought for a moment, and then came back and sat down, and said,
"Well, yes, that's right, that's how it should be! You think, how can this little boat carry such a big family, a small fisherman, and have no money, and even if they come, they won't make any money!"
Zhu Zhu dragged his cheeks and said,
"Hey, why did we meet this thing!"
Tong Lu said,
"It's okay, you have a lot of money anyway, give them some, it's a charity!"
Zhu Zhu replied to him,
"But I'm penniless now, and it's not just my brothers who pay first!"
Zhu Zhu is not confused in this matter.
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Why don't you make an IOU and let them go to Lin'an to pick it up?!"
Just talking and laughing, I saw the guy outside, the guy jumped up and beckoned into the distance! Tong Lu felt strange, and he also went out to see, heh, this is a coincidence, there is another boat half-sunk into the water, isn't it the same as the boat of the previous few people! Haha, it seems that I won't be lonely today!
Tong Lu quipped,
"Hey, little brother, business is very good today!"
The guy responded with a smile,
"Today is not bad, but sometimes I don't meet one in half a month, so it's not a very evil thing!"
Xiao Yi and the others also came out, only to see a boat swim down, the hull of which was much bigger than the one Xiao B and the others were riding, and I don't know which rich man it was! The boat was unstable and crooked, which scared the people on the boat a lot, and I listened to them from afar! Tong Lu took a bowl of wine, and while slowly tasting it, he looked at the other side, so unhappy.
"Hey, this face, it's not easy to see!"
The guy couldn't help but laugh and replied,
"It's okay, as long as you come to us, no matter how difficult it is, you can fix him!"
Xiao Yi saw that someone on this side had rowed a small boat and approached, there were more people on the boat, and there seemed to be a lot of girls, so he was still careless, and it was also good to send someone over and lend a helping hand when he needed help! Seeing this, Xiao Yi felt more and more interesting about these people, and really wanted to get to know them well!
The boat was badly damaged, and the hull was sinking so fast that it took the remaining two small boats with them! The two boats had approached before, but the big boat was uncontrollable and spun, and the people on board were also frightened and screamed! Fortunately, the boat had reached the inlet, and was flooded more than half of it, and the speed of the current was no longer so fast, and the four small boats on this side surrounded and began to throw ropes on the big boat. There were still people on the boat who understood, and immediately pulled up the rope and put it on the hull. In this way, four small boats, four ropes, pulled the big boat from all four directions. With the efforts of both sides, the big ship finally stabilized slowly, although it still kept sinking, but with the help of these people, it should not be a problem to return to the shore safely!
Tong Lu couldn't help but admire,
"Yes, yes, I'm really skilled!"
The young man was very proud, and replied,
"Of course, if you want to eat this mouthful, of course, you have to have enough skills!"
Xiao Yi was amused in his heart, but he was also more convinced that these people did not lose their conscience for money, and although they did this way, although it was a little unauthentic, it was also a good way to survive! Looking at the rescue methods of these people, they were also quite professional, and it seemed that they were really not less practiced, so there should be no danger in that boatload of dozens of people! Xiao Yi thought again, today I received two big boats in a row, and I don't know how much I can earn, will it not open in January, but I can also fill my stomach? !
Four small boats led the big boat slowly to this direction, and when it was docked, someone set up a plank and led the people on board to the shore. Xiao Yi saw that this boat was very luxurious, it was really a big family's boat! The young man was talking again, not much different from when Xiao Yi came up a few times before, but there were many women here, and he added some words of concern to calm the other party's mood!
There were forty or fifty people on the boat, including miscellaneous servants and the like, and there were several young girls, all of whom were very good-looking, Xiao Yi only looked at it twice, and was pulled aside by Yao'er, and then listened to her complain,
"Stinky man, these vulgar fans, look at what he does!"
Xiao Yi smiled and glanced back at her again, and replied to her,
"Heh, you're not a vulgar fan!"
Yao'er was amused by these words, she grabbed Xiaoyi's arm and looked over there again,
"Ouch, look at it, look at that girl, she looks very beautiful, and I don't know which big lady it is!"
