The footsteps were heavy, there were a lot of people coming, Ji Cha's sleepiness suddenly dissipated without a trace, there was no fear in his heart, and there was a faint expectation: "I have heard for a long time that there are thieves in the mountains and thieves in the water, and I really happened to catch up?"

The six hunters deal with the fierce beasts in the mountains all the year round, and they are more powerful than ordinary people; the boatmen who beg for food on the river generally work with both hands; the Confucian scholars look at the quality of literature at first glance, but as long as they look closely, they can find that they have thick calluses on the thumb, middle finger, and ring finger of their right hands, and their wrists are flexible but not stiff, and they are suspected to be swordsmen who practice the swordsmanship of the "book sword"; the old man in the blue shirt looks sick and weak during the day, but he breathes vigorously and heavily in the night, and he must bear internal strength; not to mention himself and the "bride" next to him.

The vigilant shippers and several hunters in the cabin were all awakened by the sound of footsteps, and each picked up the guy he was carrying. The boatman didn't leave the cabin, and he bowed over the curtain and shouted, "Dry sprinkle?" This shout woke up the others as well, and both the Confucian and the old man opened their eyes instantly. Hong Chen waved his hand in a daze, subconsciously wanting to remove the hijab covering his face, but Ji Cha pressed him when he saw this.

There were a few shouts and curses outside the curtain: "Let the surnamed Zhong get out of the way!" "We have three boats, you turtle grandson can't run!" "Don't think about resisting, dozens of hundred-stone bows outside are shooting, and a boatload of people will have to accompany you as a hedgehog." ”

The sound was noisy, and everyone in the cabin could understand that the people who came were not looking for robbery but revenge.

The boatman turned his head to the crowd and said, "Which friend is surnamed Zhong? Let's have a small business and earn some hard-earned money. ”

The hunters shook their heads, and so did the old man. Ji Cha thought to himself, it must be Confucianism's surname Zhong. Unexpectedly, Confucius also shook his head. The boatman looked over, and Ji Cha said, "I don't have the surname Zhong either, don't look at me." ”

The boatman shouted outward: "Friends, no one here has the surname Zhong, let's find the wrong ship." ”

Outside, he shouted: "Nonsense, we asked the people on the dock and several boats, and they all saw him get on this boat." The surname Zhong, you really don't come out?

The boatman was shocked and angry: "Who is surnamed Zhong, does he understand the rules, does one person do things and one person is responsible, and even others are considered good men?"

The beard shouted outside: "How old do you say that surnamed Zhong is, what clothes he wears, and what he looks like." The other hunters gave a thumbs up and praised his wit.

Someone outside: "The surname Zhong is a camel!"

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone else in the cabin fell towards Ji Cha.

Ji Cha was only laughing in his heart: "Fool, chase others to your ancestors." I couldn't help but think about it, and deliberately didn't get up or defend, but said: "The people outside are so fierce, I'm so scared, but I don't dare to go out." ”

The boatmen and hunters were afraid of being implicated, so they started to catch them. But Ji Cha's body is very sensitive, and he squeezed left and right in the narrow cabin, and he didn't even catch a corner of his clothes.

Suddenly, the bearded hunter shouted: "Zhong Huozi, hurry up and go out to see your enemy, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut off this little girl's head!" The others looked, but saw that he took a short-handled hunting knife and put it on the neck of the "bride", looking fierce, as if he could really cut it down in the next second.

"You cut it!"

Ji Cha was not afraid that he would threaten Hongchen, so he continued to hide with a smile.

The Confucian scholar, who had not spoken since entering the boat, opened his mouth at this time: "Even if you don't care about your wife, you will be a man in vain." Then he said to the bearded hunter: "Friend, you put down the knife and don't hurt the innocent." I'll go outside and meet those people and see if I can talk. With that, he got up and lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin.

The bearded hunter put down his knife, and the other hunters stopped chasing him. Ji Cha sat back to Hong Chen and asked, "Daughter-in-law, aren't you scared?" Hong Chen shook his head.

I only heard the Confucian outside the cabin say: "Dare to ask friends, what kind of grudge do you have with the camel surnamed Zhong, to be like this." ”

Someone replied, "We are the people of the 'Yun Family' in Liuyun City. A month ago, a camel beggar fell hungry in front of the house, and when the old man saw that he was pitiful, he not only gave him food, but also left him to work at home. I didn't know that this guy was really a thief, and he came to insult my young lady in the middle of the night, but fortunately, he didn't succeed because of his loyal maid's desperate efforts.

"He killed an old mother in the house, two nurses, and the housekeeper in the house! My young lady was so frightened by this that she couldn't afford to fall seriously ill, and she lost half of her life, and no doctor could see it. Some gentlemen said that this is a frightening heart disease, and the source of the disaster must be removed in front of her in order to be cured.

"Our Yun family has divided seven groups of people, and the whole Yunzhou takes people, and I heard the traces in Xiangyun City a few days ago, and chased them all the way. ”

Confucian said: "Yunzhou has a population of tens of millions, and there are so many camels among them? ”

The Yun family said: "Zhong Huozi is not only hunchbacked, but also has a broken bamboo basket, which he has always carried with us when we were in Yunfu. Moreover, you should know what the nature of the flower thief is, there must be a woman by your side. We heard in Xiangyun City that a hunchback carrying a bamboo basket led a bride to the dock, and we knew that it was him. ”

Ji Cha was surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was too coincidental, he disguised himself as a camel, and the bamboo basket was used to put the stolen magic weapons, how could there be people who were exactly like him? He got up and walked out of the cabin.

Ji Cha came to the deck and saw that there was a big boat in front of the ship and on the left and right back, there were many people holding torches, and many people were pulling bows and arrows.

When Confucian saw Ji Cha come out, he only saw the main man appear, and immediately scolded: "If you can't pick flowers, you still have to kill people, you are really not a good thing." ”

Ji Cha ignored him and said to a few Yun family members on the deck, "Look, am I the Zhong camel you are looking for?"

The firelight was not bright, and a young man from the Yun family standing at the front frowned and stared at Ji Cha for a long time, and only said, "Look at the appearance...... No, Zhong Huozi is younger and more handsome than you. Someone in the back reminded him: "Zhong Huozi may be able to change his appearance and change his tone." ”

The young man of the Yun family nodded and said, "Are you a Zhong camel or not, you can find out as soon as you untie your shirt." On that day, Zhong Huozi was stabbed in the left chest by my father, and the injury was not light, and I expected that even if the wound healed, the scar is still there today. ”

The others also shouted, "Take off your clothes!" and "Hurry!"

Ji Cha was stunned, and then scolded angrily: "Be your mother's dream!

The young man of the Yun family was suddenly solemn, jumped forward and stabbed out with a sword, but was dodged by Ji Cha. The other Yun family members on the deck also stepped forward with their swords, but none of them touched Ji Cha.

The Confucian next to him thought to himself: "If this person is not a Zhong camel, how can he refuse to untie his clothes? The Yun family is generous and has a long reputation among the rivers and lakes and the people, and should help. He joined the battle circle of besieging Ji Cha.

Originally, he only faced a few people from the Yun family, and Ji Cha was able to dodge with ease, but he added a Confucian student who was in the same vein as a sword, to refer to the sword, and his moves were sharp, and the deck area was very small, so his situation became more and more disadvantageous. The boat stopped in the middle of the river, there was no way to escape with light skills, if he was caught, he would inevitably be stripped of his clothes and examined, Ji Cha shouted anxiously: "Daughter-in-law, if you don't save me, you will be widowed!"

As soon as the words fell, after two breaths, a red figure burst out from behind the curtain, still covered with a red hijab on his head, and already holding the bearded hunter's short-handled hunting knife in his hand.

Hong Chen suddenly entered the crowd, and with a few swings of the sword, the long swords in the hands of several people in the Yun family were all knocked away. Confucius took a sword from the Yun family and fought with Hong Chen for three or five rounds, and the long sword broke into two with a click. On the deck, the other three ships, as well as the people watching the battle with the curtain in the small boat, were all shocked: this bride is so powerful in martial arts.

Confucius saw that the bride was by no means an idle person, and asked, "What is the relationship between the girl and Zhong Huozi?

Hong Chen was silent, and the young man of the Yun family on the side scolded angrily: "You ugly old lady, you know that your husband is doing indiscriminate things outside, but you still protect him, are you stupid?"

Ji Cha said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is stupid or not, she must be a hundred thousand times more handsome than your young lady." As he spoke, he suddenly made a swift move, jumped straight behind the young man of the Yun family, stretched out his right hand upward, and grabbed his neck: "This is the young master of your family, right? If you want him to live, let us go!"

The Yun family didn't expect the "Zhong Huozi" to move so fast, and they were terrified for a while, and now that the young master was captured, even the archers of the three ships were helpless.
