On the second day, Yu Yao beckoned the boatman to plan to sail.

After days of heavy rain, the river at the canyon rose sharply, the situation was precipitous, and the boatman shook his head again and again.

Ziying also knew the pros and cons of this, and he specially called the new shopkeeper to work together to enlighten Yuyao.

Wu Baoer was also enthusiastic, arranging for everyone to sit around a table and talk carefully. "Young Master Lan doesn't know, this dragon slaying stream has an old rule of being too double but not single. ”

Yu Yao looked at this young scholar with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, this person is so weak that he can't help but rely on the relationship between crows to suppress this group of wolves in sheep's clothing, and he must have hidden skills.

"Wu Gongzi, please speak directly. ”

"There are not a few ships that cross the stream every year, but the two ships are in parallel, and eight or nine out of ten of the boats who cross the stream alone have sunk, and besides, this year's rainy season is growing, the tide is fierce, and you are afraid that this boat will not be able to withstand the huge waves of the dragon stream. I advise you not to risk your words in order to verify my words, after all, there are so many innocent lives on board. Every word of Wu Bao'er seems to have been taken out of her heart.

Yu Yao fell into deep thought, on the one hand, she really didn't want to go with Ziying, so on the other hand, she couldn't gamble with the lives of the entire boat, how could this be good.

Seeing Yu Yao's hesitation, Ziying opened her mouth and said, "Young Master Lan, I really don't hide it, I will go to cross the river with the dragon stream on this trip, the purpose is the same as you, and I will talk to you about other details later." But the young master of the blue has the overall situation as the priority, you and I go together, mutual benefit and win-win. ”

Seeing that Ziying and Wu Bao'er tried so hard to persuade her, Yu Yao finally agreed to wait for Ziying's ship to be repaired and cross the stream together.

The autumn rain continued, and Qu Linglong, who was about to get bored in the house, invited Yuyao to a valley behind the inn. The valley lies beneath two peaks, and the interior is empty and dry, unaffected by the rain outside. And it's full of wild fruits, and it looks very delicious!

A gust of wind blew, whistling along the curved valley wall, making a long sound. In the valley, the rocks and roots of the trees are full of flowers of different colors, and the flowers are brightly colored, which really does not match the cold season of autumn.

"Yu Yao, don't look at the beauty of these flowers, they are actually poisonous. ”

Qu Linglong explained all kinds of poisonous flowers to Yu Yao, and also taught her to identify them.

"It's a black sprout, it looks like a bean sprout, but it's too dark to be recognizable. If it is ingested, it will definitely have severe diarrhea. ”

"This is a millennium of youth, and if you eat too much, you will be dumb. ”

"This is poinsettia, and when it is overly refined, it is a highly toxic poison, and the effect is equivalent to that of crane top red. ”

"Needless to say, this broken intestine grass is too common. Just don't get too close, sometimes you will faint when you smell it. ”

"This is a willow tree, which is both a good medicine and a poison, and if it is used properly, it can save people from the brink of death, and if it is not used properly, even a little bit of it will kill you. ”

......

Yu Yao listened quietly to Qu Linglong's chatter, and carefully identified these poisonous flowers and plants.

"Strange!Why are there so many poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs here?" Qu Linglong asked suspiciously.

Yu Yao thought for a while and replied: "The terrain here is steep, few people come, and there are naturally more poisons!"

Qu Linglong nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly exclaimed again.

"Yu Yao, you see a lot of cordyceps growing here. ”

Qu Linglong happily ran to the other side of the valley, she quickly took out a small shovel and cloth bag, and dug up.

"There is also a bezoar, and there is also a mountain ginseng! No wonder Master always said that the more inaccessible it is, the deeper the valley and the cliff, the more precious herbs there are!"

Yu Yao wanted to stop it, but she felt a strange aura approaching, and when she looked back, it was Wu Bao'er.

"Miss Qu want to help?" Wu Bao'er smiled gently and elegantly.

"No, I'll just pick some cordyceps! It's rare to see so many wild ones today, you guys are really a good place here!" Qu Linglong didn't look back, naturally she couldn't see Yu Yao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

Although it is rarely visited, the poisons and herbs are dense and distinct, and it is clear that they were cultivated. Yu Yao looked at Wu Bao'er who was at a loss, thoughtful.

Wu Bao'er saw that Qu Linglong had almost swept away the herbs on the ground, and she was slightly distressed. And Qu Linglong seemed very happy, and he could only laugh with him, "Yes, yes!"

looked at a large area of fruit trees not far away and hurriedly asked, "I don't know if the two girls like to eat tangerines, this is Nanfeng tribute orange, the first-class tribute citrus for the imperial palace, in the early years, my father entrusted someone to bring seedlings, and this year the first tree was born." ”

Yu Yao nodded, "Then thank you Wu Gongzi." ”

Yu Yao dragged Qu Linglong, this girl's cheap temperament is really like her master. If she hadn't been dragged up, she would have dug up all the herbs here.

I don't know what this Wu Bao'er thinks, but she doesn't stop it, and let Qu Linglong take it by force.

"Ah Qu, I like to eat that citrus, let's go pick some together!" Yu Yao told a white lie.

Qu Linglong heard Yu Yao say that she liked it, so she packed up the shovel and cloth bag without saying a word, "Let's go! I'll pick it for you!"

The tone was polite, as if she had grown her own citrus.

As the sun rises, the chill in the valley dissipates and the heat begins to be sweltering. Occasionally, birds chirp and their voices zigzag back and forth in the valley.

"I didn't expect that your handsome little scholar's physical strength is still quite good!" Qu Linglong carried three cloth bags were all full, one bag of herbs and two bags of tangerine.

Although Wu Bao'er looks weak, she has a lot of strength, and she has three cloth bags on her back and shoulders together, and she walks effortlessly.

Listening to Qu Linglong call him like this again, he blushed again. It's rare to talk and laugh so close to Qu Linglong, Wu Bao'er is very happy in her heart!

My mother said that a man must be both civil and military, so that he can be able to write and put pen to peace in the world, and martial arts can be used to determine the world. I don't have any interest in martial arts, and practicing my strength can be regarded as strengthening my body. If you have practiced, I am afraid that if you become a reckless man, you will be shocked by the beauty!"

Qu Linglong said: "You don't have to be so modest, I see that you are gentle and elegant, and you are dignified, and women in this world want to find a man like you to be their husband!

This question made Wu Bao'er blush again, and he looked at Qu Linglong's eyes carefully with courage, and replied, "Not yet!"

"Oh! That's right! I have a few beautiful bubbling chicks on that boat, and I can introduce you to them. If you fancy whichever one you like, you can marry back and be the lady of the village!" Qu Linglong was open-mouthed.

"Uh...... No need!" Wu Bao'er hurriedly refused.

"You don't have to be shy, just wait for me to return to the inn and introduce you. Qu Linglong thought that Wu Bao'er was ashamed of her face, so she shirked it like this, and she couldn't feel Wu Bao'er's eyes looking at her, which was extremely hot.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw a group of people gathered on the dock, and there were people inside who shouted the name of the crow.

Don't......

Wu Bao'er ordered the things in her hand to be sent back to the inn, and walked to the dock with a solemn face, followed by Yu Yao and Qu Linglong.

When everyone saw Wu Bao'er coming, they all got out of the way. Everyone had a frightened look on their face, or a whisper, or a look of wanting to cry without tears.

Wu Baoer stood on the deck of the pier and looked at the clump of aquatic plants floating by the river not far away. Wrapped in the aquatic weeds was a swollen corpse blistered by the river, with a big beard and a rosewood bead wrapped around its wrists, wasn't this the crow that had suddenly disappeared?

Chef Jia looked at Wu Bao'er's eyes uncertainly, "Young Master, didn't you say that the shopkeeper went to the Mo clan to see a doctor?"

Wu Bao'er was silent, with a sad expression on her face, and looked at the crow's corpse for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, a wave struck at the feet of the people, and the river flowed away, leaving many petals behind.

Qu Linglong picked up a piece, pinched it in his hand and looked at it carefully, the thing was fan-shaped, red on the top and white on the bottom, like the petals of a peach blossom, but the texture was extremely hard, and it smelled fishy.

"Yu Yao, what is this?"

Without waiting for Yu Yao to answer, someone else recognized it and shouted in horror: "This is... These are the scales of the peach blossom fish!"

When they saw the crow's corpse again, the corpse was also covered with these fish scales, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed and cried, "The river god is angry!

Chef Jia was also so frightened that he knelt down directly, "A few days ago, the shopkeeper said that he wanted to eat peach blossom fish...... He forced me to kill this fish, and I cut off a finger for some reason! I said that this fish is very evil! This is none of my business!

The chef hurriedly knelt on the ground in horror and kowtowed.

Many juniors knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, crying and shouting, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"It's all gone!"

Wu Bao'er suddenly spoke, "The crow has committed a great crime, and it has now been ambushed. Repent of your heart, and the river god will forgive you!"

Seeing this, everyone fled the docks.

Wu Bao'er watched the crow's corpse drift farther and farther away, and her frown finally relaxed.

"Yu Yao, what the hell is going on?" Qu Linglong asked puzzled. "Why didn't he bury his father?"

Yu Yao looked at Wu Bao'er, who was silent, and led Qu Linglong to walk back and said, "The peach blossom fish is the incarnation of the river god, and our entire Liuli depends on this mother river to thrive, but if anyone hurts the peach blossom fish, it will be punished by heaven." The person who commits this capital crime shall not be allowed to do the business of the afterlife, not to mourn, and not to be buried. can only throw the peach blossom river, let the fish and shrimp eat, and die without a whole corpse. ”

Qu Linglong was too frightened to ask again.

Yu Yao looked at Wu Bao'er who was still standing on the dock from a distance, and secretly doubted in her heart.

This incident is too coincidental, as if it was arranged by someone. Wu Bao'er saw the tragic death of her biological father, although her face was sad, but Yu Yao found a trace of ...... between his eyebrows and eyes Pleased?

Although the legend of the peach blossom fish is divine, Yu Yao probably doesn't believe it. This scene seems to be man-made, but can this Wu Baoer have such great ability?
