Lin'an City has a prosperity not too far from Gusu, in the May weather, there are already some uncontrollable lotus flowers poking their heads out on the water, but it is not yet a climate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hongling also sprouted early. One by one, they floated on the surface of the water, and some even bloomed with sparse small white flowers.

From time to time, black and colorful water birds passed by the side of the boat, and some small fish could be vaguely seen around the boat being scattered by the water waves. They are all the scenery that Jiangnan is used to, and for Shang Lu, it is still a little fresh, but Bai Qian doesn't care at all.

He sat in the cabin with his eyes closed, his body swaying with the hull of the ship, not struggling to keep his balance like the other passengers.

Shang Lu lay on the bow of the boat, lowered his hands and put them into the cool early summer water, and even tried to catch a passing swimming fish at one point, but unfortunately failed every time.

Lin'an City was not Bai Qian's goal, so after everyone went to the dock, Bai Qian paid another money and ordered the boatman to row in the other direction.

Passing by a vast reed, Bai Qian finally instructed the boatman to stop on an island in the middle of the river.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is a small island, but it is just a high ground in the water.

As the itinerary shortened, Bai Qian's complexion gradually became solemn, and Shang Lu didn't dare to ask anything, just followed Bai Qian's steps and walked forward silently.

Walking to the other side of the high ground, Bai Qian pushed aside a dense reed, and Shang Lu saw him lead a small boat.

The typical green bamboo row in the south of the Yangtze River is made of simple shape and easy to make, which is made by using the bamboo that can be seen everywhere here, and you can cross the water by cutting a few bamboos that have been years old and tying them into a row.

Bai Qian jumped on the bamboo raft and turned around to beckon Shang Lu to go up. Shang Lu, who grew up in the mountains, took a look at the simple bamboo rafts that were more than half submerged in the water, and he was really a little afraid.

After hesitating for a moment, he still jumped up, he jumped too hard, and the bamboo raft shook violently, so frightened that he quickly grabbed Bai Qian's sleeve.

Bai Qian flipped him over with a flick of his hand.

In a hurry, Shang Lu had to perform the light skills he had just learned, twisted his waist, unloaded the strength of Bai Qian, and then stepped on the tension of the water before staggering back to the high ground just now.

Bai Qian saw that his reaction was quite fast, and he was very satisfied with his teaching results. The tense face along the way finally had a thin smile.

Shang Lu looked at his wet shoes and wanted to cry without tears.

Bai Qian: "Xiao Lu, can't you tap it?"

Shang Lu: "Brother Bai, I'm actually back, have I learned light skills?"

Bai Qian looked at Shang Lu with an excited face, and continued: "Well, it's almost, in the future, you can realize your ideal of blocking the road, robbing the rich and helping the poor......

Shang Lu was so excited that he temporarily forgot about Bai Qian's throwing him into the water just now, if Bai Qian hadn't stopped him, he would have almost been overconfident and planned to follow Bai Qian with light skills.

In the end, with the help of light work, Shang Lu finally stood firmly on the bamboo row.

After turning around in the reeds, he walked out of the waterway for half a day before he arrived at the destination of Bai Qian.

It is an extremely hidden river bay, and Bai Qian said that this place is called Jinshazhou. But Shang Lu didn't see a grain of sand, so he was a little puzzled by the name.

It's just that he doesn't have time to care about this now, mainly about the scenery in front of him. The green bamboo building is built near the water, backed by the green mountain, facing the long river, with a wide field of vision, all around are covered with thick bamboo with a bowl mouth, and there are some bamboo shoots that have not yet faded the bamboo shoot skin at this moment, standing bare, the air is full of the fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Shang Lu thought that this place was really a good place to live in seclusion, the location was hidden, and it would not be disturbed by outsiders, and the scenery was open when it was closer, and it was quite happy to look at the water and bamboo forest every day.

He walked around the house on his own, trying to find more things, and sure enough, there was a large open space behind the house, planted with several acres of rice and a few clumps of tender and crisp vegetables, and it was obvious that someone was carefully taking care of it.

The white in the field is just ready to eat, and Bai Qian is not polite, so he breaks off one and starts gnawing.

Shang Lu had never seen this thing before, so he would also follow Bai Qian's actions and break it down and try it.

Their steps were always light, and they didn't talk much, so the people in the house never noticed them. It was only after they had walked around and saw the smoke rising from the house that they found the owner.

Bai Qian stepped on the steps and walked up, and Shang Lu followed behind with curiosity while gnawing on the raw cocoon.

Unlike the huge appearance of the bamboo building, there is only one girl living in the house.

Probably because the location is too remote, the girl's vigilance is not very high. When Bai Qian was about to walk to her, she looked up and saw Bai Qian, who was focused on making a fire and cooking.

Her face flushed in the reflection of the firewood in the stove, and the moment she saw Bai Qian, the girl raised her arm and rubbed her eyes, as if she didn't believe that she could see a living person other than herself.

Bai Qian also tried to identify it before tentatively calling out a name.

Bai Qian: "Meng Lan?"

Girl: "Big Brother Bai, it's really you!"

The girl named Meng Lan rushed out as soon as she was excited, trying to hug Bai Qian like when she was a child, and when she rushed to her, she suddenly remembered that she had grown up. The momentary stagnant movement made both of them a little embarrassed.

Shang Lu jumped out at this time and interjected: "Little sister, in such a big place, you won't be alone, right?"

Meng Lan came back to her senses, hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, made tea, and said, "Brother Bai, this is the new tea before the rain this year, I made it myself, you can taste it first." ”

Then he looked at the door a few times, as if he was still expecting someone to come.

Bai Qian saw the loss on her face, this tea-making craft was taught to them by Xiling Ye himself, but unfortunately Xiling Ye couldn't come now, and he couldn't drink the tea made by the children.

Jinshazhou used to be a very lively place, and Xilingye often brought back some children from all over the country, all of whom were orphans without a father or mother. Xiling Ye fostered the children here, and also invited a gentleman to teach them to read and write and learn basic survival skills such as farming and weaving.

Fruits, vegetables, clothes, and cloths, most of which are produced by gentlemen and a group of children.

Those children, of varying ages, generally grow up to sixteen or seventeen years old, and Xilingye will arrange a livelihood for them.

Bai Qian is older than Xilingye, so naturally he can't be regarded as the child he picked up, but Bai Qianna will wander on the rivers and lakes, because of his withdrawn character, he has not suffered less.

When Xiling Ye brought him back to Jinshazhou, he thought he could spend the rest of his life here in peace.

Later, after the war, even Xiling Ye himself could no longer maintain this peace and tranquility, and it was only then that he knew that the boy who helped orphans everywhere on the rivers and lakes, and occasionally rescued some cats and dogs, was still the son of the famous Xiling family.
