Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 143 Encounter at the Wharf

"Brother?" Li Yandai raised her eyebrows and looked at Bu Yu with a playful expression.

It's supposed to be a brother and sister, right?

Miss Bu, who was inexplicably seen by Li Yan at a glance, laughed, hugged Wang Ergou and Meng Li heartlessly, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the three of us are sworn brothers, I am the second, this is my eldest brother, and this youngest is the eldest." ”

Meng Li, the strongest but youngest of the three, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Bu Yu's words. This silly woman.

Steward Wang, who was also excellent in swordsmanship and mace, looked at Meng Li and couldn't help asking, "How old is the young man this year?"

Meng Li said: "I will just turn fourteen this year!"

Steward Wang gasped, and his eyes became very shocked when he looked at Meng Li. "At the age of fourteen, you can kill six forging martial artists with one move, the young man is really extraordinary!"

Meng Li said modestly: "The seniors have won the award!"

Steward Wang hurriedly waved his hand, "The seniors don't dare to be, Wang is just a housekeeper in the Li Mansion, if the young man is willing, just like everyone else, call me Steward Wang." ”

"Okay, Steward Wang. Meng Li clasped his hands into fists and performed a etiquette on the rivers and lakes.

Bu Yu saw that Meng Li was praised, her mouth pursed, and she was a little unhappy, but at present, outsiders will not demolish Meng Li. He just snorted softly and didn't speak.

The delicate Miss Li noticed Bu Yu's abnormality, and after glancing at Meng Li, she walked up to Bu Yu and said softly, "Childe seems to be unhappy?"

Bu Yu didn't want to deal with this woman who made him feel threatened, so he casually found a perfunctory sentence: "I'm born unhappy, you just need to get used to it." ”

Liu Yan smiled lightly and asked again: "Childe is really interesting, but I don't know how old I am this year?"

Bu Yu frowned and said, "What are you doing when you suddenly ask me about my age?"

Li Yan said: "When the slave family saw the handsome and majestic son, they couldn't help but have a heart of friendship. ”

Bu Yu's figure is definitely not majestic, but he is still very happy to be praised like this. The tone is no longer so sharp.

"You still have some vision. I'm only a teenager this year!"

As a lady with a girl's heart, Bu Yu is naturally reluctant to reveal her age, even if the other party is also a woman. Who knows, after hearing her say this, the other party also said: "That's really a coincidence, the slave family is also a teenager." ”

Bu Yupi smiled and said, "Hehe, this joke is not funny at all." ”

Li Yanwan smiled and said to Wang Ergou: "Since Gongzi is the eldest brother of the three, presumably the matter of the itinerary is also decided by Gongzi!"

"This ......"

Wang Ergou wanted to deny it, but when he saw Meng Li nodding, he changed his words again.

"What does Miss Li command?"

Li Yan bowed slightly, and said: "Don't dare to do it, the slave family just wants to invite the three sons to accompany them, and when they arrive in Jieshui City, they can let my Li family fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

The maid Xiaocui jumped to her feet and said, "Yes! Xiaocui also wants to thank Gongzi!"

Wang Ergou smiled bitterly: "It's just a gesture, Miss Li doesn't have to be polite." However, since everyone is going to Jieshui City, it would be a good idea to go together. ”

Wang Ergou's decision was made after Meng Li's eyes instructed him. They hadn't been to Jieshui City, they had been groping all the way before, and they had already been exhausted, and now it was a good thing to be able to catch the line of the Li family.

Hearing Wang Ergou's agreement, the maid Xiaocui jumped up from the ground happily, took Liu Yan's hand, and said excitedly: "Miss, without further ado, let's hurry up." ”

Looking at the child's undiminished Xiao Cui, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh, this matter is without further ado, no matter how you listen to it, it seems to mean something else.

At that moment, the two teams merged into one team and marched towards Jieshui City together.

I don't know if it's Ji Tai Lai, but for the rest of the journey, they didn't encounter any more crises, and until they walked out of the Kaulan Mountains, they didn't encounter the second group of robbers.

Although there are many robbers in the Kaolan Mountains, they are not stupid, and when they encounter a strong idea, how can they not know how to retreat? After the news spread that Guo Si had been killed by three knives, naturally no one wanted to touch their brows.

Out of the Kaolan Mountains, there is only one branch of the Huaichuan River Basin, which is from the middle reaches of the Huaichuan River, from east to west, separating the Jieshui City from the villages and towns north of the basin.

There are not many villages and towns under Jieshui City, and if they are divided like this, they will naturally be very hurt, which is also one of the reasons why Jieshui City is not as good as Xizhou City over the years.

Fortunately, this diversion is not too wide, and the river is relatively gentle, so all the problems can be solved with just one ferry.

Where there is demand, there will be a market.

More and more people are transferring this diversion at will, and a small market centered on the ferry has gradually formed in the branch basin.

Meng Li and others, who were close to the Huaichuan diversion, were soon attracted by the lively scene on the shore mouth.

As a result of the long-term transfer, a wharf was built on the bank of the river. At first, it was just a small dock built by the boatmen themselves, but when this move attracted the attention of the caravans, the city immediately sent craftsmen to realize that it was profitable, and with the strong support of the government, the scale of the dock grew more and more, and gradually developed from a self-sufficient small dock to a medium-sized dock covering life and commerce.

The market centered on the wharf is built on the wharf, with the ferry as the center, involving all aspects of life, and even some temporary caravans will choose to sell goods here.

Outside the wharf, there are simple cedar dwellings, clustered together to form a small village.

When Meng Li and the others came to the ferry, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Villages, vendors, shore crossings, and boats shuttling back and forth on the waterβ€”all of them form a cohesive whole.

"I can't imagine that a small ferry port can develop into such a scale!" Meng Li, who had never been out of Shui Town in his life, was shocked by the scene in front of him.

There were many pedestrians waiting to cross the river on the pier, and among them was a man dressed quite luxuriously, who heard his emotion and showed disdain when he passed by Meng Li.

"Where did the hillbilly come from, it's rare and weird!"

Despised ?

Meng Li touched his nose and smiled wryly, after all, he was from a small place like Mengjia Village, and he was used to seeing the small wharf of Meng's fishing ground.

When Bu Yu heard the mockery of the man in the fancy clothes, he did not gloat, but raised two extremely delicate willow leaf curved eyebrows, and glared at the other party with wide eyes.

"Say it again!"

When the other party saw her dressed as a martial artist with extraordinary bearing, he immediately showed a look of jealousy.

"What do you want to do? The law of the Boundary Water City, this Boundary Water Dock, does not allow the use of force. ”

When Li Yan saw the man in fancy clothes, there was also a coldness on his body, and he didn't reply: "Steward Wang, go and teach him some lessons, let him learn what it means to be humble!"

"Miss, obey. ”

Steward Wang bowed his head, his body pulled upward, and the next moment he was already out of the crowd.

"You, what do you want to do!"

When the man in a fancy costume saw Steward Wang flying towards him like a tiger, he wanted to run away, but his feet were weak and he fell directly to the ground.

Steward Wang jumped in front of the man in the Chinese costume, opened the bow left and right with one palm, and slapped it on the opposite face. Every time you drop a palm, you have to say a word silently......

"Let you talk more! Let you talk more!"

The man in Chinese clothes is an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, and when he slapped him twice, the corners of his mouth were beaten out by Steward Wang. When Meng Li saw this scene, he smiled bitterly and then stopped it.

"Forget it, Steward Wang, just teach him a lesson. ”

Hearing this, Steward Wang took back his hand that was hanging in the air, ignored the man who ran away with his hands on his cheeks, came to Meng Li's side and whispered: "Meng Shaoxia, a self-righteous villain like this should teach him more lessons." If you don't let him be afraid of you, he will be even more inched. ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "There is nothing wrong with what that person said, to put it mildly, I am indeed from the countryside and have never seen much of the world." However, everyone in this world is raised by their mother's parents, and compared with me, he is no different except for the different places where he lives. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

"Well said, the little brother can see through it, so Xiao is admired!"

There was a burst of applause behind them, and everyone looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw a personable man in white walking towards them.

For the man in white who praised him, Meng Li couldn't help but be curious, and looked at the latter carefully.

I saw that this person was in his early twenties, his face was like a crown of jade, Liu Jian was his eyebrows, and he held a folding fan in his hand, shaking it gently, and he was extraordinary.

When the man saw Meng Li's gaze, he lifted the folding fan upside down, hugged his fists at everyone and said, "In Xia Xiao Zicong, I bother you." ”

The man who called himself Xiao Zicong had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a sense of intimacy like a spring breeze, Meng Li couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to get close to the other party when he saw the other party.

However, after thinking of what the master had said about leaving three points for seeing people, he suppressed the intimacy in his heart again.

Meng Li cupped his fists and replied lightly: "I've seen Xiao Gongzi!"

Sensing the mustard in Meng Li, Xiao Zicong smiled slightly, and didn't care. After all, anyone who meets a stranger they have never met will have some vigilance in their hearts.

"Little brother, don't be nervous, I just saw that you talked extraordinary, which made Xiao Mou's thoughts that he had been suppressing in his heart resonate, so he took the liberty to step forward and be cheeky to get acquainted with his little brother. ”

Xiao Zicong said as he looked at Meng Li, and when he saw the wolf knife diagonally inserted in Meng Li's waist, his eyes paused.

"Look at the little brother's fight, a warrior who traveled from other places?"

Meng Li nodded and said, "I'm from Shuizhen." ”

Xiao has heard of some of them, and I heard that it is close to the mainstream of Huaichuan, and it is a land of fish and rice!"

Swish!

Xiao Zicong said, his fingers suddenly flicked, and he skillfully opened the folding fan, and in an instant, a drunken fragrance emanated from the folding fan.

Suddenly smelling the fragrance, Meng Li couldn't help but look at the folding fan, and his face suddenly changed slightly.
