Chapter 73: First Try

The river in front of the middle wharf street is called Pink Water, which originates in the Shennongjia Mountains, meanders through Fang County and Baokang County in the mountains, and flows into the Han River three miles south of Gucheng County. The pink water in front of you is clear and bright, and "powder water clarification" is one of the eight major scenery of Gucheng County.

Now, Leng Yuhu is sitting in a teahouse on the shore of the pink water drinking tea and resting. This Gucheng county is very close to Wudang Mountain, the winter sun shines warmly, there are a few old men sitting in the teahouse while drinking tea, gossiping, one of the young people preached to them, Leng Yuhu of Wudang Mountain ran to the capital to kill the second son of the prime minister, fled to the rivers and lakes, the government according to his swordsmanship, knew that he was a disciple of the Wudang Sword School, and several masters in the capital came to Wudang Mountain. Leng Yuhu's master was angry to death, and one of his best brothers was locked up in the Junxian prison, only to wait for Leng Yuhu to come back to visit his brother, so that he could throw himself into the net.

The old men asked, "Are you telling this true?"

The young man hurriedly said: "I came back from selling timber in Yunxian County, and I said this all along the way, how can it not be true?"

Leng Yuhu was sad and indignant in his heart, thinking of his master's care for him, thinking of his brother's friendship for him, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he had to go to the master's grave to pay respects, and he also wanted to save his brother from the cage.

Leng Yuhu stood up, walked to the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and said, "Look, can it be like this, I have something urgent to go, but I can't ride a horse, my horse will be fed in your teahouse for a while, and I will ride it again when I come back?"

The shopkeeper was puzzled: "I am very busy every day, and I don't have time to feed your horses." ”

Leng Yuhu discussed with him: "I'll pay you a fixed amount first, and I'll give you more when I come back." ”

The shopkeeper shrunk his hand in the cuff and broke his fingers to settle the account, and one of his boys came out of the back room, and made a gesture to the shopkeeper with his hand, and the shopkeeper walked into the back room, and the boy said: "Dad, I see that his horse is tall and mighty, and it is a good horse, so you promise him, we will feed him, and I will ride out to have a good time." ”

This shopkeeper only has this one son, and he depends on him in everything, so he agreed to him, walked out, and said to Leng Yuhu: "My son happens to be at home and can feed you, but you can't blame us for feeding you thin." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "This is natural. I have here a tael of silver, which is the money for feeding the horses, and you can take it. ”

The boss took the money, said a few polite words, turned around and found a piece of paper, took out a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and wrote down the note, Leng Yuhu still wrote down the pseudonym surnamed Zhao. The boss drew a charge, Leng Yuhu folded the paper slip and put it in his pocket, arched his hand to the boss, told him that he had worked hard, and strode out of the teahouse. The reason why Leng Yuhu wanted to keep the horse was to try his newly learned light skill of "crossing the river with a reed"?

Leng Yuhu walked downstream along the pink water, walked three miles away, and came to the Han River. At this time, it is winter, and the river beach is full of barberry forests, overgrown with wild grasses, and deserted. Leng Yuhu silently recited the sixteen-character mantra taught by the old man, stored the true qi in the dantian, and ran northward, it was really as urgent as a meteor, the wind was whistling in his ears, and Ba Maolin flew straight to the back of his head. This light feat, "crossing the river with a reed," is really remarkable! Leng Yuhu ran faster and faster, and the more he ran, the happier he became.

Suddenly, there was a white rabbit in front of him, Leng Yuhu chased after it, and the white rabbit saw that someone was coming to catch him, so he hurriedly ran, and Leng Yuhu chased after the rabbit in a few steps. The white rabbit suddenly turned around and ran to the left, Leng Yuhu followed, picked up the rabbit with his hand, held it in his arms, touched the rabbit fur with his hand, and let it go, the white rabbit took his life and fled to the dense grass without his life.

Leng Yuhu got this old man's light skill, and his heart was very happy, thinking: "Zhang Jinhua is not in front of him, otherwise I will try to compete with him." ”

The combination of "crossing the river with a reed" light skill and the light skill of the Wudang Sword School, Leng Yuhu is more and more energetic, running upstream along the Han River, Leng Yuhu is full of energy, running for more than half an hour, and can already see the Guanghua County on the other side of the river.

Leng Yuhu sat by the river to rest. After resting for a meal, Leng Yuhu continued to run forward.

Leng Yuhu is eyes and ears are watching six roads, listening to all directions, and seeing an old man in front of him herding sheep on the river beach. Leng Yuhu was afraid that he would see it, his body spun sharply, and he rolled down from the shore to the river, only to see that the river was wide, and a large cargo ship was going upstream, and several people looked at Leng Yuhu from the shore to the river, and they all pointed at him and laughed. Leng Yuhu stood up, patted the fine sand on his body, beckoned to the people on the boat, slowly walked ashore, walked past the old man herding sheep in a hurry, and ran to the front. Half an hour later, you can already see Hongshanzui on the other side of the river.

Leng Yuhu came to the river, broke off a barberry pole and put it in the river, and jumped on the barmao pole by himself, only to hear the sound of "plopping", Leng Yuhu fell into the river, and hurriedly climbed ashore, his pants were all wet, and he said in his heart: "If you want to practice the light skill of crossing the river with a reed, it is estimated that it will take time." ”

Slowly walked to the ferry, got on the ferry from the crowd, arrived at the opposite bank, walked to the boundary of Hongshanzui, a little hungry, there happened to be a restaurant on the side of the road, walked in, asked for two dishes, a fish, a plate of green vegetables, two large bowls of rice, sat and ate it like a wolf.

Walking out of the restaurant, the pants were already warm and dry, the physical strength had recovered, the true qi was running all over the body, and I felt that I had inexhaustible strength. Fu walked to the Han River, pulled off the beard that was sticking to his cheeks, restored his original handsome appearance, squatted down, shone at the calm river, and sighed: "I only saw my true face today!"

Under the cover of the barmao forest, after running for nearly half an hour, the Han River was deserted, and I could see some residents on the other side, so I slowed down, came to the ferry, and got on a small boat to the other side. As the ferryman walked and asked, he realized that there was Shenwan Village in front of him, and the ferryman also specially preached to Leng Yuhu that there was a tomb of Wu Zixu in the north of the village, and it seemed that he was very proud of it.

Leng Yuhu gave up the ferryman and sat alone by the Han River to rest. In the evening, I walked into Shenwan Village, found a family, and ate some food. After dinner, I stayed in this farmhouse.

On the second day, in order to regain his strength, he wandered around the village. At noon, I finished eating and slept beautifully. In the afternoon, I went to visit the legendary tomb of Wu Zixu, there was a pile of wild grass, and there was nothing to see. After dinner, I walked slowly towards the Han River, and by this time, I saw that the winter had quickly darkened. Leng Yuhu ran north along the river bank. After running for a while, I can already see Junxian County on the other side of the river.

Leng Yuhu walked to the shore and got on a fishing boat to the opposite shore. There is a large forest of old willows densely distributed on the river beach, the old trees are stout, and thousands of branches hang down on them. Leng Yuhu flew onto an old willow tree, lay among the dense branches and leaves, shrunk his body into a ball, and slept beautifully.

When I woke up, the crescent moon had risen, and it was cold. Leng Yuhu walked into Junxian County and walked through the streets on a moonlit night. Leng Yuhu had been to Junxian County before, and he was very familiar with the streets and alleys here, and there were some pedestrians on the street, and none of them noticed that he was a fugitive who was very famous in the rivers and lakes and was being arrested by the government. At this time, the county town was already arranged, and the net was already being opened, and everyone would not have thought that Leng Yuhu would throw himself into the net tonight.

It was late at night, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the hustle and bustle of the streets was slowly quieting down. Soon, the families closed their homes and rested, and the city was already dark.

The moonlight was unknown, Leng Yuhu flew up to the room, ran on the room, and came straight to the county cell. Suddenly seeing a person chasing behind him, Leng Yuhu turned sharply to greet the man, the man was masked, and when he saw Leng Yuhu coming up, he turned around and ran away. Leng Yuhu was chasing after him, and when the man saw Leng Yuhu chasing after him, he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran out of the city. Leng Yuhu learned the light skill of "crossing the river with a reed", how could he let him go? The man was anxious, running with his head stuffy, and the two of them were running on the roof of someone's house, really flying towards the northeast like two meteors, how could the people in the city notice that someone was running on the house?

Gradually, Leng Yuhu and the man went hand in hand. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Leng Yuhu, the man simply stopped, sat on the roof, and said, "Don't run." ”

Leng Yuhu smiled: "Brother Zhang, why did you come to Junxian?"

The man asked, "It's only been a few months since we separated, and your light skills are so fast?"

That person was Zhang Jinhua.

Leng Yuhu smiled: "Brother Zhang agreed." Your column resists the wind, and the world is alone. ”

Zhang Jinhua said: "What is unique in the world, I will give it to you tonight." ”

The two sat on the roof, and Zhang Jinhua said: "I heard in my hometown in Henan that your good brother is in prison and wants to bring you back to save him." I'll come to Junxian to see the excitement, but I don't know if I wait and wait, I never see your shadow, and I'm worried that you won't dare to come back. ”

Leng Yuhu said: "I have been in Jiangsu and Anhui, and I didn't know the news until I walked to Wuchang, so I hurried back." ”

Zhang Jinhua stretched out her hand and punched Leng Yuhu and said, "I knew you would come back, no, I've been waiting for you here." Tonight, as I lay on the roof, I saw a figure flashing, and I knew that you had returned. ”

Leng Yuhu knew that he was here to help him, and he couldn't help but feel excited, but he was afraid of affecting his friends, so he paused for a while, raised his head again, and asked, "Your lady promised you to come?"

Zhang Jinhua said: "She runs faster than me now, and she never leaves an inch every day, and she is here this time." ”

Leng Yuhu raised his eyes and looked, the moonlight was hazy everywhere, where was there a figure again?

Zhang Jinhua said: "When I chased you, I had already told her in advance, but she didn't follow." ”
