However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, three years ago, I don't know where the ferocious water bandits all the way came from, so that they can die on this section of the river entrenched down, among which there are many good hands, but there is no bottom line, not only robbing the passing ships, even those fishing villages that do not have much oil and water have not let go, the slightest disobedience will destroy the village, and do a lot of evil things.

The men who begged for a life on the river were born with a sense of pride, this group of water bandits did not give a way to live, and they naturally did not sit still, and recommended a few people of high moral standing to come out, so they built a new village and lived together to resist the intrusion of the water bandits.

According to his thoughts, most of his fishing villages were ordinary fishermen, who had no oil and water, and had been scattered everywhere before, and had not formed any effective resistance force, so they were naturally not taken seriously by the group of water bandits.

Now that he and others have joined forces, with the strength of a fight, the other party should not do these thankless things again. However, what the fishermen didn't expect was that the gang of water bandits was very angry when they heard that everyone dared to resist, and they didn't care about it, and directly led all their men to kill the water village.

It's just that he met Li Xingwei's advance fleet and wanted to pick up his old bank to make a vote, but he finally met Li Xingwei, a hard stubble, and disappeared. The people of the water village escaped from the disaster, naturally they were ecstatic, and the men on the river were heroic, renewing their promises, being affectionate, and taking their lives lightly.

Naturally, Li Xingwei, who was a life-saving benefactor at that time, was given great honor, although Li Xingwei did not have the intention of repaying the favor, but under the gracious difficulty, he temporarily hired a lot of sailors. After realizing the excellence of the others, every time I sail in the future, I will bring some people with me, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Although the crisis of the water village was resolved, for safety reasons, these fishermen still did not disperse and lived scattered as before, but elected Wang Xiuyuan as the owner of the village, and lived here peacefully.

After greeting Li Xingwei for a while, Wang Xiuyuan's gaze fell motionlessly on Xu Yao's body, his age, although it is inevitable that there will be a decline in martial arts cultivation and strength, but his vision is becoming more and more spicy, among the people who came, although Li Xingwei has always been speaking, but some details unintentionally revealed by these eight people silently prove that Li Xingwei is the backbone of the group of people with outstanding appearance and extraordinary bearing.

Although he doesn't know much about the rest of the people, Wang Xiuyuan, as a water bandit who has accumulated years on the Nulong River, naturally knows what kind of weight Li Xingwei, who is respected as one of the thirty-six dragon heads by heroes and heroes on the waterway, has on this Nulong River.

So to speak, in this Nulong River

Above, the eighteenth road chief scoop and thirty-six dragon heads, is the most superior figures, the rest of the people even if the status of martial arts is high, after all, they are not the people who seek a life on this river, most of them are just a flash in the pan, not enough to be praised by the heroes on the river.

Now Li Xingwei is willing to put his position under a young man who is weak and weak, which shows that this young man is so big that Wang Xiuyuan does not dare to think about it.

After Wang Xiuyuan noticed Xu Yao, Li Xingwei also introduced a person, of course, it was only roughly said that Xu Yao was a child of a large family, and after following Li Xingwei to collect the big ship, he went all the way south, such as the destination, and Xu Yao's rest of the situation, but he didn't mention it.

Of course, this is not that Li Xingwei can't believe Wang Xiuyuan, but that there are a lot of tails behind his own group, the more Wang Xiuyuan knows, the more dangerous this water village becomes, as long as everyone doesn't stay in this water village for too long, take the boat away, naturally they won't have too much to do with this water village.

Although I didn't want to stay in this water village for too long, it was too late to find the big ship immediately, and the people who came to this village were very happy with Li Xingwei's arrival, and tried their best to keep everyone to stay and rest for one night.

When night fell, the men in the water village raised a big bonfire, and then began to kill pigs and cattle on the spot, the women and children took out the picked wild vegetables, the fresh fish fished out of the net, and took them out to clean and tidy, and the Mengtong children played in the open space, and the whole water village was full of laughter.

The so-called following the customs of the locals, Xu Yao and his party, who came to this water village as guests, were not idle, and each found their own place in it. Compared with Xu Yao and the others, who were a little Sven at this time and just helped to raise the grill, Yuan Kui and Hei Xian won a lot of applause for the strength they showed because of moving wood.

At the beginning, Wang Xiuyuan's attitude towards Xu Yao and the others was relatively cautious, for fear that Xu Yao was the son of a big clan who was above the top and domineering, but now under the leadership of Li Xingwei, Xu Yao and the others all looked like they were following the customs, and Wang Xiuyuan couldn't help but secretly put his mind at ease.

After he became the owner of the village, although he still spent a lot of effort to make a point, but these are ordinary fishermen who beg for a living on the river, naturally there are no very good conditions, and the environment can only be said to be acceptable, this Xu Yao brought a group of servants, and he is extraordinary, and he is willing to let Li Xing be the leader, Wang Xiuyuan is naturally worried that his village will not be able to enter Xu Yao's eyes, so that he will have a sense of neglect, so that he has a bad face.

Now that I saw it, Xu Yao had built the grill by himself, and quite skillfully took a ham and roasted it.

After baking, it was distributed to those Mengtongs who had already been attracted by the fragrance and surrounded Xu Yao, with a "self-satisfied" appearance, Wang Xiuyuan naturally did not have such worries in his heart.

The bonfire in the center of the clearing had not yet risen, but Xu Yao's grill was pouring out a warm orange fire, accompanied by the crackling sound of firewood and bursts of laughter, Xu Yao skillfully used the simple brush made from the dried aquatic plants he had just roasted to apply all kinds of sauces and honey in his hands to the ham on the grill that had been propped up.

The golden grease drips from the top, and is quickly dried by the flame below, and with the application of honey over and over again, the blessing of spices, and soon the whole ham exudes a tantalizing aroma. Looking at the boys and girls who were already around him, Xu Yao smiled slightly as he waited for the sound of constantly swallowing saliva.

He didn't know where to take out a knife and a stack of plates, cut off a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wings from the golden ham that had been roasted, and put it on the plate to signal these Mongolian children to share the food, these children cheered, and pounced, and directly picked it up with their hands It was a burst of gobbling, and the adults who were still a little reserved on the side couldn't help but join the team to eat roasted ham after watching for a while.

Xu Yao smiled on his face, and regardless of the gobbling up of everyone, he quickly cut off pieces of roast meat from the ham, and after cutting enough of it, he instructed the red embroidery on the side to pour fresh juice.

After a while of gobbling, the people next to the grill all looked at Xu Yao, Xu Yao shook his head with a smile, stirred the bonfire, "But I have to wait", after speaking, a new ham was served.

Compared with the lively scene next to Xu Yao's grill, Li Xingwei and Zhang Weiran waited much more comfortably, a table put together a few small dishes, served a few pots of fisherman's turbid wine, and ate and drank so leisurely.

And Han Tianxiang's master and servant failed to beat Xu Yao in those perches before, but now they have the opportunity, and they suddenly showed their skills among that group of women, and after being praised by that, they also deliberately glanced at Xu Yao twice, and the meaning of showing off is self-evident.

Of course, Xu Yao naturally didn't feel anything about this, but took advantage of the time between the roasted ham and said to Han Tianxiang with a smile, "I heard that the girl is quite elegant before, but I didn't expect to peel this Jiangling wild bamboo shoots, and she is also so familiar."

"I, Han Tianxiang, am not a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, so I naturally do everything" Han Tianxiang tidied up her skirt, snorted coldly and said to Xu Yao, "It's you wood, why did you get the hang of it, didn't you just like to dance with guns and sticks before, tsk, now even the ham can be roasted"
