Chapter 7: There Are Ghosts in the Water
After sending off the ten grandmothers, Yu Xiaoyu took the tiger boy along Weishui and continued to move in the direction of Chang'an.
At dusk, they went into a wooded area and found an open space to lie down and rest.
"Brother Yu, does your face still hurt?"
"It hurts, if you hit that old woman, it will disappear immediately!"
"It's amazing! Grandma Ten must be a fairy! I see that as soon as the eldest brother puts on that bracelet, his face will be fine. ”
"Immortals...... Who doesn't know that the poison king Dou Hongyu is a Rakshasa witch...... Oh no, I forgot to ask her for money!"
Yu Xiaoyu shook her head like a headache and said in a low voice.
As he was talking, a girl suddenly jumped up from the tree, a girl, stunning! plump!
The girl landed on the branch above their heads, and when she saw that Yu Xiaoyu was staring at her stupidly, her big eyes stood up, gave him a blank look, and flew away.
Yu Xiaoyu fluttered and sat up.
"Eat my heart!"
"Big brother...... You don't look like a good person......"
"Of course the eldest brother is not a good person~ The eldest brother is charming!"
"Big brother, there are still people!"
As soon as the words fell, seven or eight men in black jumped through the canopy above their heads and ran in the direction of the girl.
"Ahh
Yu Xiaoyu's figure flashed, and then chased after him.
The sun is about to set in the west, and a touch of afterglow is sprinkled on the surface of the river, a golden yellow.
The girl crouched by the river, holding the water in both hands, and drank a few handfuls in succession, looking extremely happy, completely ignoring the men in black who had surrounded her.
"Girl, please hand over the letter. ”
"What letter?oh~ Mr. Wang wrote a letter to others to rebel~ In my arms, come and get it~"
"My big goblin is wild enough!"
The jade fish hidden in the bushes not far away sighed secretly.
"Girl, Hugh is not ashamed, you are doing things for the demon queen, you are really helping to abuse, and I hope to hand over the letter quickly, so as not to ruin your beautiful body. ”
"Yo~ Old man, you will be ashamed~ Staring at other people's chests, and destroying other people's bodies~ so don't be ashamed!"
"You're ......!"
"The eldest brother is angry, he has fallen for this demon girl's tricks, and the younger brother will take her down!"
"Hey~shameless!, I won't let you touch people~"
As she spoke, the girl grabbed the wrist of the man in black who was about to reach out to her, and with her other hand, she quickly pulled out a short blade of blue light from her waist and stabbed it directly into the chest of the man in black.
When the other men in black saw this, they rushed forward with their swords in their hands, but the girl turned over their heads one by one.
The girl's left arm was wrapped in a long white silk, and as soon as she landed, her left arm shook, the long silk was scattered, and the short blade hung on the ring at one end of the long silk, and with another twist, a white-roded long-handled knife was instantly held in the girl's hand.
The men in black turned around and stabbed straight with their long swords.
The girl was not afraid at all, and waved the long-handled knife in her hand up and down, knocking down the three of them in an instant.
The first to speak was an old man in black, who jumped out of the circle and waved his hand.
"Wait. ”
The black-clothed men jumped to the old man's side, and the girl danced a knife flower, put the long-handled knife behind her back, pursed her lips, and said with a smile:
"Why don't you fight?"
"The girl is really skilled, I have heard that there is a woman named Wu Zhengyi in the 'Ten Life Lock' of the Blood Master of the North Gate, who is good at killing people with a long silk golden knife, dare to ask but Your Excellency?"
"So what?"
"No wonder I broke nine of my messenger brothers in the blink of an eye......"
"It's them who have moved their hearts to be rude to others~ Otherwise, how can it be so easy~"
"I have long heard that the master behind the blood master of the North Gate is the demon queen, it seems that the rumors are true!"
"Don't be a demon queen, you are so disrespectful to the Holy Queen of Shun, you really want to rebel. ”
"Hmph! The demon queen brutalized Zhongliang and harmed me in the Tang Dynasty, we just want to get rid of her, don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh~ Then what is written in this letter in my arms? Wang Fusheng, this waste person, is also a waste person, and he has been instructed to hand over this letter to the prince, strange, the prince is not in the palace, how can you let you run to Qianzhou?"
"Hmph! The witch has a sharp tongue, but she is going to be planted here today?"
"You're all dying, and you're still so strong...... When did you poison me?!"
The girl named Wu Zhengyi suddenly turned dark, covered her head with one hand, shook her eyes a few times in confusion, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Big brother, thanks to your cleverness, you dragged her down, otherwise this medicine would not have been able to come up. ”
A man in a black robe came out of the water, squatted in front of Wu Zhengyi, and groped out a letter from her arms.
"Big brother, what should you do with this demon girl?"
"The demon queen is in chaos, you can't keep it, kill it and throw it into the river. ”
"You big men, you can't even beat a girl, and you're drugged! It's really embarrassing~ Hey, take your hands away! Why don't you touch enough!"
The black-clothed people hurriedly turned around and saw Yu Xiaoyu walking out of the bushes and looking at them lazily.
The old man in black glanced at him, and led all the people in black to jump up one after another, swinging his sword at the jade fish.
The tiger boy roared, pulled out the Guangque sword, and slashed in mid-air, and all the black-clothed people were split into two pieces.
Yu Xiaoyu picked up the letter, came to Wu Zhengyi's side, shook the snake mother bracelet to her lips, and a trace of black water flowed out of her mouth and slowly sucked into the snake's head.
"Big brother, is she okay?"
"The toxicity is not strong, there is salvation, this place should not stay for a long time, let's go. ”
"Big brother...... You take your hand out of that sister's arms......"
"Oh! I'll give her back!"
Yu Xiaoyu carried Wu Zhengyi on his back, and traveled with the tiger boy all the way to a ferry.
By this time the crescent moon had climbed up the branches, and it was dark all around, except for a wooden pole oil lamp standing on the humble pier of the ferry, which shone a little light.
Under the lamp, the shriveled little old man was sitting on the lamp pole, dozing off.
There was a small wooden boat on the side of the wharf, and there was a squatting man on it, with a big hat on his head, staring at the little old man angrily.
"Boatman, please take us across the river~"
"Can't go!"
"Why, we'll give you more silver~"
"Big Brother ......"
"Shut up!"
When the tiger boy whispered and was about to remind them that they had no money, he was quickly interrupted by Yu Xiaoyu.
"The old man won't let you cross the river!"
The captain said angrily.
Xiao Lao Dao opened his eyes at this time and looked at them.
"Dao Chief, we have urgent business to cross the river, please let me go. ”
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until dawn tomorrow, and I will accompany you. Do you still want to live? If you want to, just wait for tomorrow. ”
"Why?"
"There are ghosts in the water!"
The captain listened to the angry words:
"Lao Tzu has been rowing here for 20 years, and I haven't seen anyone say that there are ghosts here, you old guy is just here to find trouble! You have taken away a few of my guests! You said that there are ghosts, then you jumped into the river to catch them!"
The little old man didn't care.
"Okay! I'll admit it today! Boy, where are you going? Come up! I don't want money!"
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
"Let's go to Chang'an. ”
Xiao Lao Dao glared at Yu Xiaoyu with disdain, and said sarcastically:
"Young man, if you are greedy for a small price, you will suffer a big loss, you don't want to die, don't drag your wife and children. ”
"Well, thank you for the reminder, but my wife is seriously ill and must go to Chang'an for treatment, otherwise I wouldn't have crossed the river so late." ”
After that, Yu Xiaoyu sadly put Wu Zhengyi down, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead affectionately.
Xiao Lao Dao couldn't bear it in his heart, stood up, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, the poor road will accompany you on the journey, and I will disembark after this night. ”
Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly thanked him, and when he saw that his complexion had eased, he didn't embarrass the little old man, so he got on the boat together.
The captain lit an oil lamp at the bow of the boat, and with a gentle swing of the oar, the boat went ashore, and walked leisurely, and after a while it was hidden in the deep night.
