Lin Fanghe was annoyed, clenched his fists and said: "Qingping world, Langlang Qiankun, where is not the world of the Ming Dynasty." How can these water thieves be allowed to run amok?"

Boss Xiao shook his head and said: "Although I have never been to Dongting West Mountain, I have heard a lot of rumors there, there are mountains outside the mountains, lakes in the lake, reeds are swinging, waterways are vertical and horizontal, outsiders can not find the way to enter." Therefore, the official army encircled and suppressed several times, but they returned in vain, and then they were happy to be lucky and blindly prevaricate ......"

"There are many harbors, and there are many inherent inconveniences. Fang Qinyu also tightened his eyebrows and said, "But how can my official family ignore it and let its thieves disturb the place, slaughter innocents, and get away with it?"

Xiong Yaohua stroked his round stomach and grinned: "I think these gangsters just rely on geography, come and go without a trace, and kill the people, we can also find a few people to mix in, pretend to be a strong gangster, and deal with them." When the time is ripe, we will join forces with the officials and the army to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"My lord, I grew up on the edge of the Yangtze River since I was a child, a water town and a country, and I am used to water, so I can go. Tang Yu listened attentively and interjected.

But after thinking about it carefully, I didn't feel at a loss in my heart: "It's just that we are new to the terrain and are not familiar with the terrain.

Boss Xiao nodded, and said: "Before there was no water bandits, the little girl Dong'er often went to that area with her partners to pick water chestnuts and lotus pods, dig lotus roots, and catch whitebait, so she knew very well about the lake and waterway in Dongting West Mountain. Why don't you tell her to show you the way, into the lake, and find out?"

Fang Qinyu clapped his hands and praised: "Shopkeeper Xiao is really fast-talking. ”

Lin Fanghe put down his chopsticks, his face was worried, and said: "Water thieves are raging in Taihu Lake, and strongmen are infested. Deserved. And by a folk woman alone in danger, deep into the unexpected, in case of any mistakes, so how do we explain to you. ”

Hugh would have said so. Shopkeeper Xiao wiped his face with his hand and said, "Dong'er grew up near the water since she was a child, so that the boat can make oars and walk on the ground, plus people are clever and good at coping, it should be fine." In addition, assisting the government to arrest those thieves and bring them to justice, so that the people can fish and farm, and enjoy peace for a long time, can also be regarded as a great contribution to the local government. ”

After listening to Shopkeeper Xiao's words that understood the righteousness, Lin Fanghe's face was happy, and he said, "In this case, I will thank the shopkeeper here first." When the time comes, Miss Lidong only needs to send our people out of the reeds of the harbor, and there is no need to approach, and they must not linger, and return safely at once. She doesn't have to take care of the rest......"

Shopkeeper Xiao nodded in response: "That's fine." ”

As this big problem was solved, everyone was in a good mood for a while, their appetite was great, and they felt thunder in their abdomen. I had to pick up the dishes and chopsticks one after another, and the wind swept away the food on the table in a while.

After dinner, go upstairs to rest. Tang Yu lay down for a while, only to feel that the room was stuffy, sweating all over, and the bedding under his body seemed to be wet, staining his body, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

After listening for a while, Xiong Yaohua had already fallen asleep.

After a while, the sound of thunder rose, and the beginning of the song was sluggish, rushing and surging. Suddenly, it is like a leisurely spring, tossing and turning in the mountains, swallowing quietly, and suddenly it is like a strong man going out of the river, with spears and feathers and arrows, resounding all over the sky. It touches the object, and the murmur is grand, and the gold and iron are all ringing. Tang Yu covered his head with a quilt and blocked his ears with his hands, but the sound of slapping pierced through the wall and over the wall, extremely tenacious, straight through the ear drums.

It made him even more unable to sleep.

Tang Yu got up, sat on the bamboo bed, listened to Xiong Yaohua's earth-shaking voice, and his face was full of sorrow. Looking out of the window, it was dark outside in the middle of the night. All kinds of insect sounds sound. Occasionally, a dog barking can be heard.

He quietly got out of bed, put on his coat, and put on his boots in the dark. Then he pushed the door and went out, down the stairs step by step.

Outside the gate of the delicious house, you will find a dense pine forest when you walk back.

Tang Yu walked through the woods, and the pine forest was thickly covered with rotten branches and leaves, and it was wet, and people only felt soft when they walked up with one foot. He groped carefully, not daring to go fast, for fear that he would accidentally step on the snakes, insects, and ant beasts that were dormant here at night! When he walked out of the pine forest, he would see the boundless water of Taihu Lake in front of him.

In the faint moonlight, the lake water crashes against the shore and makes a gurgling sound.

Tang Yu walked to the shore of the lake, found a stone and sat down, stunned, and worried in his heart. Thinking about meeting such a companion as Xiong Yaohua now, the sound is everywhere, and the loud roar is loud, how can this night be endured? Just thinking wildly, I suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in front of me, and a white shadow jumped out of the lake!

At first he thought it was a big fish in the lake and didn't care.

When the shadow swam closer, holding his shoulders with both hands, and sneering, Tang Yu heard that the person in the water was Lidong, the daughter of the shopkeeper of Delicious Juxiao.

Xiao Lidong stood in the sparkling water, only showing his head, and asked with a raised face: "It's you who dare to love." It's too hot this day, and you can't stand it, so you run out in the middle of the night and want to take a dip in the water?"

"This ......" Tang Yu was speechless for a while, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything about his ugliness for a long time.

Lidong smiled, not caring at all: "If you want to flush the sweat and mud on your body, come down." Don't worry, no one will be able to see it in the middle of the night?"

As he spoke, he turned sideways, paddled with both arms, and swam to the other side.

The moonlight reflected her all over her body.

It's like a rare, fickle, haunting whitebait in the lake.

Tang Yu watched her bathe in the water peacefully. He just took off his mud-stained boots, pulled a handful of grass on the shore, and brushed it up one by one in the light of the stars and moon.

After polishing his boots, he put them back on his feet, and cried out, "Put your clothes on." It's past midnight, shall we go back?"

Lidong touched the shore, put on his dress in the pine forest, and turned back to the shore. asked: "You ran out alone, the six gods have no owner, and you don't go down to the water to take a dip, what is it for?"

Tang Yu smiled: "I just can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk alone." ”

"You dare to walk around alone, aren't you afraid-" Lidong smiled mischievously.

"What are you afraid of?

"There are monsters in this Taihu Lake, with beards and horns, and their eyes are shining, and one back is the size of a few houses when it sticks out of the water, and it is swarthy. Specializes in devouring drowning people. There are leopard wolves in the mountains......"

"I'm not afraid of monsters, even if it's a behemoth, it's a big deal to draw a sword and fight it. Tang Yu smiled helplessly and said, "But I'm afraid ......."

Li Dong Yanran smiled: "You are not afraid of monsters, what else can you be afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of people sleeping and snoring. ”

"You, you, that's funny. Lidong covered his mouth and giggled, "Thanks to your majestic style, a talent, and still working in the government, but you were afraid of this! What will be done with ......"

He laughed and laughed. (To be continued.) )
