Stone Town is a very small city.

It is backed by the water of the Linjiang River in front and the Daqing Mountain in the back, which is a treasure land of mountains and rivers. The whole city, regardless of the walls, streets, houses, pavilions, etc., are made of all kinds of stones, and most of the aborigines have the surname of stone, so they get their name.

At this moment, the big ship is heading straight for Stone Town not far away, and it will soon dock at the dock. Through the thin mist, the glittering fishing fire is faintly visible, and between the two, there are less than ten miles of waterway.

The helmsman deliberately slowed down, the river turned from sharp to steady, and the big boat floated naturally on the water, like a moving log. Time seems to be pushing the ship into a mysterious space.

In the inner courtyard, the lights are brilliant and the sound is noisy.

And this is what they discussed.

Lu Qianyu belonged to the only outsider, he was silent and didn't dare to say much, he stood aside, blended into the air, and everyone ignored his existence.

There were a lot of wood like Lu Qianyu in the crowd, and they stood aside without saying a word, raising their heads and bowing their heads to express their attitudes. It's not because they're strange faces, there is no room for them to speak in this room, there are only a few people who are qualified, and Lao Dao is one of them. If there is any unqualified high-minded talk, the first thing to encounter is the white eyes of everyone, and then the masked man will be scolded, and it is estimated that no one wants to ask for this bad luck.

Lookers-on see most of the game. In Lu Qianyu's opinion, the whole thing is not as simple as he imagined.

This is not a simple mooring. For after searching for a long time, he found that there was no joy on the faces of the people who had been relaxed after a long journey. There are even a few people, hesitant and sad. Lu Qianyu seemed to see the beginning of a trouble.

"Why are we docking in Stone Town?"

"Supposedly, that person is not easy to mess with. ”

"Why don't we bypass Stone Town and go to Tongling to settle down!"

"Tongling is feasible. The terrain over there is open, and the city is also big, especially the girl, the water is tender and tender!"

"You're the fuck, you actually thought of the girl, we're talking about business!"

"That's enough!" the masked man endured for a long time, and finally shouted, he stretched out his finger and pointed at some of the people who said the most pleasantly, and scolded, "A bunch of bastards! I'm not talking to you, I'm asking you to come up with a solution." ”

There was a sudden silence in the inner court, and everyone lowered their heads. Then, the sound of human words began again.

"Lord, Stone Town is too dangerous!"

"Yes, my lord, this place is full of mountains and mountains in a radius of 100 miles, and we are in a dilemma when we encounter the enemy together!"

"The matter is big, and I ask the lord to think twice. ”

"If we have to, we're going to at least send some people around to make rounds to prevent it from happening!"

Lu Qianyu heard that some people persuaded each other with good words, some weighed the pros and cons, and some people made suggestions, which made this matter a little more confusing.

He was full of suspicion, and couldn't help but think that he might be on a thief ship. Countless questions arose in his heart at once.

What is their so-called danger? Where does the enemy come from? What are they protecting? Could it be that they are so vigilant and cautious just for the sake of this mysterious figure with a black veil in front of them?

Lu Qianyu was puzzled, and went to look at the old knife, he didn't say anything, and the masked man seemed to be waiting for his answer.

"Old knives. The masked man couldn't wait, and he asked, "What do you think, we are expected to settle in Stone Town, and it will take half a month." You're solely responsible for the guards. Do you have any objections?"

"This...!" The old knife couldn't spit out the words in his mouth, he frowned, still thinking about it repeatedly, and everyone looked at him and listened. So, after the old knife paused on the word "this" for a while, he finally decided, "No problem!"

"You just have to do it!" the masked man shook his head, the old knife's hesitant attitude made him a little disappointed, he laughed a few times, and made an impassioned expression, "You see, follow the study, the old knife is like a qualified guard." Don't look ahead and backward when doing things. As long as you can reach Dongqiu smoothly, you will all be local tyrants from now on, and you will no longer have to work the rivers and lakes to make a living!"

The masked man's words were quite expected to quench his thirst, but Lu Qianyu didn't feel that he was painting cakes to satisfy his hunger, because the whole thing, he was completely kept in the dark, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so he had to expect the old knife to give an answer.

It worked, and no one was opposed to it, or they were powerless to refute it.

The meeting came to an end in a cathartic sound, and the old knife instructed the knife to take Lu Qianyu back to the cabin, while he himself stayed in the inner courtyard with a few people, and it seemed that the masked man still had orders.

On the way back, Lu Qianyu saw the stars and fires not far from the other bank, and he asked the knife if the stone town was in front of him.

The knife was small but very experienced, and he replied yes.

At this moment, he happened to meet Ah Tai and his brother Gan Thin Warrior again, and they caught up from behind and stopped Xiaodao and Lu Qianyu.

"Stone Town is right in front of you!" said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Little knife, I have discussed it with Liuzi, and when the big ship docks, our brothers will go to have fun!"

"I'm not going. ”

"You boy. The sixth son was the thin warrior, and he snorted and said, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." Women are going to touch it sooner or later, don't you not touch it now, and plan to be a virgin for the rest of your life?"

"I'm not going!" the knife squeezed a few words out between his teeth, "If you are long-winded, I will tell my father, and you will be done." ”

"Beat your father again!" said Artey.

"Actually, he's like us. Liuzi rolled his eyes and said, "We're not afraid of your father at all!"

"It's a world of difference. The knife stood up and said proudly: "My father, even if he is stronger than you, you still don't admit it, hum!"

"Strong is a little bit stronger. Atai whispered.

"Your father's martial arts are powerful. Liuzi nodded, and he continued, "Unfortunately, we are still not afraid of him. ”

While a few people were talking, the big boat moved closer towards the fishing fire. Lu Qianyu could vaguely see the situation on the dock.

It was an open field, with few people, and barges and barges of all sizes were lying in the harbor, and their masts were hung with lanterns, and the light came from them. On the shore, the black outline of a row of houses makes the whole scene extremely tranquil and peaceful, like a lake made of ink.

Then he looked up at the sky, and according to the changing stars, he could tell that it was ten midnight. Stone Town is asleep like a baby, so it's no surprise that it's peaceful.

Back in the cabin, Lu Qianyu first climbed into the haystack and sat down steadily.

He stood in the inner courtyard for almost an hour, feeling that his body was as heavy as lead, and that his wound ached faintly, and when he sat down, everything was much easier.

"You know what?" said the knife with a kettle.

"Listen up. Lu Qianyu rubbed the wound on his thigh, and he deliberately teased the knife: "Do you really want to taste the taste of a woman?"

"Boring!" Xiaodao sat down in front of Lu Qianyu, his fingers involuntarily drew circles on the wooden board, and he said, "The people here are not ordinary people. ”

"I see. Lu Qianyu said.

"You're smart. Knife smiled, "Do you know that they are not sailors, but people from the rivers and lakes?"

"I knew. Lu Qianyu looked at the knife's hesitant appearance, and felt that he seemed to have something on his mind that he didn't want to say, so he asked, "Who is that guy?"

"The devil knows. The knife continued to draw circles with his fingers, he understood who Lu Qianyu was asking, that person was also a dumb riddle in his heart, he hesitated and said, "His identity is very mysterious." The people on the ship are all hired to protect him. Atai is, Liuzi is, they are all very powerful. Of course, my dad is better than all of them. ”

"Have you seen his face?" Lu Qianyu was not curious about the identity of the masked man, so he was also worried.

He thought about three possibilities.

First, this person is born with an ugly face, and because of low self-esteem, he has to do it;

second, he wants to hide his identity and not want to be recognized, so as not to get into trouble;

Third, this guy has a weird personality, he likes this, he is a pervert.

Lu Qianyu himself is more inclined to the second guess.

He deliberately concealed his appearance, so he made this decision.

"He's always veiled!" said Knife, "at least, that's how I met him, and the others don't know." ”

"Why did you suddenly tell me about this?"

Knife smiled and said, "I'm ready, you'll definitely ask." In the cabin, your expression, betrayed you. Since we are friends, we will tell you sooner or later, it is better to be now. ”

"You're smart too. Lu Qianyu patted the knife on the shoulder, and said in his heart, "Is my face really so unable to hide things?", and then, Lu Qianyu faced the answer, hungry, he said, "So, now you can tell me, is there anything on the board?"

Knife was slightly stunned, stopped drawing circles, and he laughed, "When I'm unhappy, it's like this." ”

"Not happy?" Lu Qianyu felt strange, "Is it because Atai and Liuzi are playing tricks on you?"

"They don't dare, my dad will clean them up. Knife stood up, and he didn't seem to want to go any further, "Will you come ashore with me?" he asked.

Lu Qianyu nodded, "The difference is tonight." He personally planned to pat his ass and leave after the ship docked, but the boat was about to dock, and the old knife had not come back, it was his savior, he didn't say goodbye, and it seemed unkind. "When will your father come back?" Lu Qianyu asked.

"What's the matter with calling me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old knife quietly came.
