The big boat traveled along the river, and after a huge "zigzag" turn, it was almost close to the boundary of Leiyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was night, and the moon was high in the sky, shining like a golden scimitar, and it looked as sharp as the blade of a calf's axe.

Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and the calf chatted with melon seeds in the inner cabin to pass the time.

Wang Deba can get into the position of the head of a wealthy family, but he does not rely on a sloppy horse, but in that down-to-earth and cautious attitude, he is conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to be sloppy. At all times, he must bow down to everything, look east and west, take care of everything on the ship, and tell the people on the ship to watch carefully at night before entering the cabin to rest for a while.

But as soon as he sat down, he saw a strong man on the boat called "Sigan Chicken" suddenly rushed into the cabin, fell to the ground, trembling all over, and said intermittently: "Wang...... Host...... Superintendent, on-board ...... Yes...... Ghosts. Although this man's nickname is "Four Dry Chickens", his body is as strong as a big buffalo, and his courage is as small as a mouse, and he is so frightened that he can't stand up when he lies on the ground.

Wang Deba was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Could it be that some thieves are coming tonight?" and then lowered his voice and asked "Siganji", "Where are the ghosts?"

"Four dry chickens" couldn't even speak at this time, and pointed out with their hands.

Wang Deba had to walk out of the cabin hard, and when he looked at it in the quiet moonlight, he only felt that his hair was numb, and the pores on his body had grown into particles.

On the deck of this large ship, there stood a man every few steps, a total of six.

The men stood in exactly the same position, each as straight as a javelin, and seemed to be separated by exactly the same distance.

The men, dressed in dark robes and felt hats, were thin and long, all facing outboard, and seemed to be carrying a weapon that could not be seen as a stick or a sword.

They stood in the cold wind of the night, not moving.

No one knows when they got on the boat, how they got up, what they came up for?

As the supervisor, Wang Deba had to settle down, pretending to be calm, and asked carefully: "A few people came here late at night, I don't know what you are doing?"

The six men didn't seem to hear the question at all, and there was still no sound or movement, as if they were six stone statues, just for window dressing.

Wang Deba hurriedly entered the inner cabin, barely calmed down, and said to Du Shenfei and the others: "A few young heroes, there are six thieves standing on the board of the boat outside. Please move a few young heroes to go out and have a look, just in case. ”

When Du Shenfei heard this, he grabbed the knife that was reclining in the corner and walked out of the cabin.

Duan Hanyan and the calf also came out first.

The six men still hadn't moved, and there was still no sound, as if they hadn't been there at all.

Du Shenfei had seen clearly that they were carrying swords, he had never seen such a long and wide sword, and the sword was at least three and a half feet long and at least three inches wide.

If Duan Hanyan's "Sound Sword of String Song" is compared with the swords of these people, it is like chopsticks compared to a pestle.

Du Shenfei stared at these people for a long time before he asked in a deep voice: "Don't dare to ask a few friends, come to my ship late at night, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

After a long time, suddenly a man in black standing in the middle said coldly, word by word: "We are here to rub the boat." The sound was like the sound of a grave being dug up at night as you pass through a graveyard in a barren mountain.

Du Shenfei frowned and said, "I don't know where Your Excellency is going to rub the boat?"

The man in black said coldly: "Wherever the ship goes, we will go." ”

Du Shenfei said: "What if I suddenly turn around and go back?"

The man in black still said word by word: "You won't." ”

Du Shenfei said: "Since you want to rub the boat, why don't you come to the cabin and drink a cup of hot wine to avoid the cold wind like a sword?"

The black-clothed man's voice was still cold, and he said, "No need. Listening to his tone, he was unceremonious, as if someone else had taken his boat and wanted to give him money for the boat, but he unceremoniously refused.

Du Shenfei said: "Can you ask Your Excellency's surname Taifu?"

It took a long time for the man in black to make up his mind, and said slowly: "Heavy Sword Regiment, Long Jinxiu." ”

Du Shenfei knows that there is always a type of weird person in this world, and they are unwilling to interact too much with others. No matter how enthusiastic you are, it is difficult to dissolve the frost in their hearts.

So Du Shenfei didn't ask anymore and paced back into the cabin.

Wang Deba, when Du Shenfei was talking to the man in black just now, had already gone to the bilge to see the tens of thousands of taels of silver brought by the ship. These are all there, he finally put his mind at ease, came up and whispered in Du Shenfei's ear: "Du Shaoxia, those silver are both there." ”

Du Shenfei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can see that they are not here for Yinliang, it seems that they have other purposes." ”

Duan Hanyan frowned and asked, "Brother Du, are these people really just here to rub the boat?"

Du Shenfei said: "It is also possible that walking in the dark in the middle of the night is not as comfortable as taking a boat." ”

Duan Hanyan said: "When they got on the boat, they were silent, with their skills, they can already be regarded as first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, why should they rush in the middle of the night? Why do they have to run to the river to rub the boat?"

Du Shenfei said: "There are times when masters are tired. Maybe they are going to meet a strong enemy, and before engaging a strong enemy, it is better to have a stable breath and adjust their body than to saddle their horses and be exhausted as soon as they go. ”

Duan Hanyan said: "Just now they said that it was the heavy sword group, Long Jinxiu. Presumably, their organization is the Heavy Sword Regiment, and his own name is Long Jinxiu. ”

Du Shenfei said: "It should be." These people should all be masters of making swords, but their swords are long and thick, and they may not be light. Have you heard of the Slepee Regiment?"

Duan Hanyan said: "I haven't heard of it. Shall I try their sword?"

Du Shenfei said: "Brother, no, just like animals, they will try to conserve their physical strength as much as possible before hunting. And let them, don't interfere with him, these people don't look like villains. ”

The calf said first: "So many living people stand in front of the bed, and they even dream of ghosts when they sleep, so they don't want to sleep well." ”

Du Shenfei smiled and said, "No, you can sleep with confidence." I don't sleep, I watch over you. ”

The calf said first: "If you don't sleep, I'm embarrassed to sleep." I just sat down on the bed against the wall and felt comfortable. ”

The calf sat down first, leaned against the wall, and before half a column of incense had been served, he shook his head and dozed off, and soon slipped on the bed, put down his body, and fell asleep.

Du Shenfei and Duan Hanyan didn't sleep, sitting on a chair and listening to the movement outside the cabin.

Wang Deba couldn't sleep, and these people who were a little older and had heavy responsibilities, some or not, were easier to worry about themselves. Liang Zhangju's "Three Talks on Wanderings" said that there are 10 abnormal situations in which a person appears old: "I don't remember the near things, but I remember the distant things; I can't be short-sighted and my farsightedness turns clear; I cry without tears but laugh but have tears; I don't sleep at night and sleep every time in the day; I don't like to sit for a long time but do a lot of good things; I don't like to eat soft food but like to chew hard; I don't like to eat soft, but I like to chew hard; I don't know when it's warm, but I come out when it's cold; I drink less alcohol and drink more tea; my son doesn't hesitate to cherish my grandson; I don't care about big things but I don't care about small things." "It's an apt image.

Wang Deba is already looking old, and he is not sleepy now, he is more and more energetic, and from time to time he looks through the small window to see the movement outside.

The men stood so straight all night, exactly as they had been when they first arrived. It never occurred to me to rely on the car under the bamboo canopy behind me, let alone sit down.
