Kou Zhong leaned close to Xu Ziling's ear and whispered: "This woman is more beautiful than all the red aunts in Chunfeng Yuan."
Xu Ziling was staring blankly at the majestic and beautiful face of the girl in white. When he nodded in agreement, the girl in white who was sitting propped up suddenly opened her eyes and glared at them.
The two were shocked and huddled together.
The delicate body of the woman in white trembled violently, and she closed her eyes again. After a while, she opened her eyes, glanced at them angrily, and breathed out a sigh of relief: "What is this place?"
The two of them glanced at both sides of the river seriously, then shook their heads together.
The woman in white looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was about to sink down the mountain. Both sides of the river were bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. She knew that she had been sitting upright for two hours. She pondered for a while and said softly: "Why is Yu Wenhuaji chasing you?"
"
Kou and Xu exchanged glances, Luo Li shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
A cold light flashed through the beautiful eyes of the woman in white. After staring at the two of them for a while, she suddenly burst out laughing and said, "You two brats, jump into the river immediately!"
The two of them had been so hungry that their hands and feet were weak. They were shocked when they heard this and didn't know what to do.
The lady in white sighed again and said calmly: "I want to sleep for three hours, and you two brats can steer the boat well for me. If the boat capsizes, I will kill you."
The sky is filled with stars and the moon shines slantingly.
Under the dim moonlight, these two good friends who depended on each other huddled together, enduring hunger and the invasion of the river wind, and mechanically steering the helm.
The woman in white was carrying them on her back, facing the bow of the ship, sitting quietly to heal her wounds, like a beautiful statue carved from jade.
Her bun was blown away by the wind, and her cloud-like hair flowed freely in the wind.
Kou Zhong whispered in Xu Ziling's ear in a hoarse voice, "Do you think she can hear us?"
Xu Ziling was in a trance and couldn't hear clearly for a moment, so he shouted: "What did you say?"
Kou Zhong was so angry that he pinched his leg and sighed: "I don't know who Yu Wenhuaji is, he seems to be better than this woman..."
He is more powerful than this evil bitch."
Xu Ziling looked at the graceful back of the woman in white in shock, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after a while.
Kou Zhong already hit him on the arm with his elbow and said happily: "She really can't hear it."
Xu Ziling asked what he was most concerned about, "Is it true that the secret book has not been damaged?"
Kou Zhong reached out and took out the "Secret of Immortality", turned it over once and handed it to him and said, "Read it for yourself! I told you this was a genuine and unique treasure, otherwise how could the Yuhuawen bone be so tight, ha! Really.
It's funny, it's more appropriate to turn bones into bones than to turn into bones."
Xu Ziling turned the book back and forth several times and said thoughtfully: "Since it is invulnerable to water, it can also be indestructible to fire..."
ah!"
Kou Zhong snatched it back with his hands, hid it again with great care, and muttered: "Don't think I will try, ha! We finally left Yangzhou City, which is so boring that people can't live without eggs. Everything is fine now."
, except for our precious bellies."
Xu Ziling mentioned it to him, and his stomach immediately growled unsatisfactorily. He sighed: "Do you think this beautiful evil woman is willing to lend us some panchuan to cook food and treat our stomachs? After all, her eyes occupy ours."
The biggest bargain."
Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, he landed on the small bundle beside her, exchanged glances with Xu Ziling, and then quietly climbed towards the bundle.
Xu Ziling didn't know that he was going to commit another thief thing again, so he grabbed his ankle and shook his head vigorously, with a determined look on his face.
Kou Zhong struggled twice but was unable to break free. He sat down beside him slumped and said sadly, "Master Zhong, if I become a starving ghost, I will definitely settle the score with you, another starving ghost."
Xu Ziling said, "Don't forget that we are heroes. Now we are working together to achieve great success. The princes, generals and ministers will have a smooth and prosperous journey. Such a move against a weak and delicate woman will really damage the good reputation of Yangzhou Shuanglong, let alone her." Finally saved us."
Kou Zhong lost his voice and said: "This evil woman is quite skilled, but she seems weak and delicate. Oh! Why does it look like it's going to rain?"
The two looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds approaching, the stars and moon eclipsed, and heavy rain falling.
The tranquil river water suddenly turned into violent turbulence, and the river was so black that it was difficult to see even one's fingers.
They could barely even see the woman in white, let alone sail the boat in such a difficult environment.
The fishing boat tossed and fell on the river, surrounded by darkness.
Rain arrows hit, and their soaked clothes made the two of them cold and uncomfortable. When they were in a hurry, there was a "boom!" and the fishing boat hit something unknown and immediately capsized and capsized.
The two men screamed and rushed towards the woman in white at the same time.
The river water rushed in overwhelmingly, and the three of them hugged each other and sank into the Nu River.
In this windy, rainy, violent, and turbulent current, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were both hungry and cold. They were hit head-on by the waves before they managed to get out of the water. The next moment, they fell into the water again. go.
Both of them initially intended to save the girl in white, but later it turned out that Xu Ziling was holding her neck while Kou Zhong was pulling her legs.
The woman in white was still asleep, but her body was upright. No matter how the wind and waves hit her, she always floated on her back on the river, and became a raft for the two little ghosts to save their lives.
After struggling on the boundary between being a human being and being a water ghost for an unknown amount of time, the rain gradually slowed down.
The moon showed a little more of its face.
Only then did they realize that they had been rushed to the river. Overjoyed, the two of them pulled the woman in white and struggled towards the bank without knowing where the strength was coming from.
As soon as they reached the mud pond next to the shore, the two of them could no longer support themselves and fell on both sides of the woman in white who was lying on her back in the shallows.
The river tide is still coming in waves, but it is no longer as rapid as before.
The two of them couldn't help but pant, but the woman in white breathed thinly, as if she was fast asleep.
The moon was once again obscured by passing clouds, and the three of them disappeared into the darkness of the river bank.
Suddenly there was light coming from the downstream direction of the river.
The two reluctantly looked up and were shocked to see six five-masted giant ships with bright lights and full sails sailing along the river. They were so frightened that their scalps went numb and they leaned against the shoal. At this time, they wished that the river tide would be stronger.
A moment is like a thousand lifetimes.
When Kou and Xu searched for all the gods and Buddhas they knew or didn't know, the giant ship finally moved away. Fortunately, the ship was raised, and the three people were hiding in a dark area where the lights could not reach, and it was still drizzling. The vision was unclear and the lights were difficult to reach, so the three of them luckily escaped the disaster.
The two of them moved the woman in white to the grass beside the river with their hands and feet, and then she collapsed from exhaustion.
Xu Ziling was confused for a while, and when he couldn't hold on any longer, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Kou Zhong called him twice, touched the "secret book" on his back, relaxed his mind, and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he slept. He woke up first. He saw the sun shining all over the field, his body was warm, and the heat seemed to penetrate into his soul. He groaned in comfort. For a moment, he thought he was still in his small nest in the abandoned garden of Yangzhou City. It wasn't until I heard the "rumbling" of the river flowing by my feet that I woke up from what happened yesterday. I woke up with a shock, opened my eyes suddenly, and sat up.
Surrounded by mountains, the sun has already risen over the top of the mountain, and the river comes from the south and flows by the side.
When I saw it more clearly, I couldn't help but gasp.
It turns out that this section of the river is deep and fast-flowing, with dangerous shoals and numerous rocks. No wonder it suddenly sank even the boat.
But it was a mistake. If the ship hadn't sunk, Yuwen's "bone" warship might have caught up long ago.
Xu Ziling was still sleeping as soundly as death.
sky!
Why is the woman in white missing?
Kou Zhong felt lost and suspicious for a while, fearing that she would slip back into the river on her own, so he hurriedly climbed to Xu Ziling's side, patted his face in his usual way and said: "Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling! Wake up! That evil woman is missing."
Xu Ziling opened his eyes with difficulty, but couldn't bear the dazzling sunlight, so he immediately closed them and muttered: "Oh! I just dreamed of asking Sister Zhen for meat buns! What! That woman ran away."
He sat up suddenly, looking left and right, with a disappointed look on his face.
Kou Zhong laughed and said: "Xiao Ling! You are in love with that woman, aren't you? Be careful she will kill you, let me see!"
Hey! Hahaha! Oh! Alas! It's not appropriate to laugh on an empty stomach."
Xu Ziling said angrily: "I'm just afraid that she will escape with her and take away our secret book!"
Kou Zhong touched his back in astonishment and said with a change of expression: "The straight bitch and the stinky bitch really stole our secret book!"
Xu Ziling thought he was joking, put his hand on his lower back, screamed, lay down, spread his hands and feet and said in a crying tone: "It's over! No people, no money, no secret books, it's over again
Fugitive, for God's sake! Everything is over."
Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and stood up, clenched his fists and shouted wildly: "No! How can I get the secret book back! Ah..."
Something flew from the side and hit him in the face. Kou Zhong screamed and fell to the ground.
Xu Ziling sat up in shock, and saw on a stone about ten feet away, the pretty face of a woman in white looked like it was covered with a layer of frost, her almond-shaped eyes stared at them fiercely.
When Kou Zhong struggled to get up, he realized that the hidden weapon that attacked him was their beloved secret treasure. With a strange cry, he put it back into his clothes again, looking ridiculous like he was treating it like his life.
The woman in white snorted coldly: "What martial arts secret book? Don't laugh to death. Just look at those seven images and you will know that this is a Taoist immortality trick. Those talismans are even more mysterious. Only Yu Wenhuaji and you
Only an ignorant child would think it is a treasure."
Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "It's best if the master thinks so, hee! Last night we finally saved the master's life. Although we don't expect to be repaid for our kindness, we always deserve a small reward. Can the master please?"
Give us two bunches of money, and then we can go our separate ways peacefully, so that we can have a good start and a good end."
"Snapped!"
Kou Zhong fell to the ground again, with five clear finger marks on his face. Of course, the woman in white had slapped him from the air.
The woman in white ignored Kou Zhong, who was moaning in pain, and her eyes fell on Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling raised his hand to show his innocence and said, "I didn't say anything, so don't stare at me like that, okay?"
The woman in white said calmly: "You didn't say anything? Then who just said that I stole your bad books?"
Xu Ziling moved back a few inches, put on a smile and said, "That was just a misunderstanding! Now the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and all the old grudges have been resolved."
Kou Zhong got up at this time, holding his shaved cheeks, he nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! There is no misunderstanding now, we are still good friends."
The woman in white gave him a sideways glance and said disdainfully: "Why do you brat come to discuss friendship with me? I just took it to look at the texture of your smelly book because of its strange texture. Okay, now everyone slaps themselves hard on me.
After ten times of mouthing, do you still dare to scream like a mother-in-law?"
The two looked at each other. Xu Ziling stood up in shock, with an indignant look on his face, and said resolutely: "A scholar can be killed, but cannot be humiliated. Just kill me!"
Kou Zhong was startled and said: "Xiao Ling! We have something to discuss slowly."
Turning to the woman in white, she said, "My dear lady, can we all go our separate ways after giving him a slap? From now on, we will be pure and righteous, and we will have nothing to do with each other?"
The eyes of the woman in white revealed cold murderous intent, and she said coldly: "I have changed my mind now. One of you two must feed me the sword. You can decide for yourself which one will die."
The two looked at each other and shouted, "It's me!"
"Qiang!"
The sword of the woman in white is unsheathed.
The two exchanged glances again, shouted in unison, turned around and ran towards the river.
He couldn't walk more than two steps when his vest tightened, and the woman in white lifted him up like a chicken, pressed his ears to Feng Sheng, and left the river bank, disappearing into the wild forest that stretched for hundreds of miles beside the bank.
"Bang bang!"
The two of them fell from a height of about ten feet each. The place where they fell was just a slope. The two of them were able to hold back their momentum and rolled towards the bottom of the slope for seven or eight cents. Only then did they fall to pieces, with all four feet in the air.
They had been hungry for a day and a night, and their limbs were already weak. They finally got up and looked around, and found that they had arrived at the entrance of a town. Passers-by were bustling with people, and it was very lively, but the girl in white didn't know where she was.
Kou Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Napo...ha...the master is gone:"
Xu Ziling licked his lips and said, "How can I ask for something to eat?"
Kou Zhong patted his chest, put on a proud posture, walked out of the mountains and fields, came to the ancient road leading to the entrance of the town, and walked ahead to the market town.
Xu Ziling chased after him and saw the three characters "Beipo County" written on the big sign at the entrance of the town gate, and said longingly:
"I wonder if there are any rebels here?"
Kou Zhong said angrily: "When my stomach growls, I have to put it aside first."
At this time, the two walked into the town's main street, lined with houses, hotels and restaurants. When passers-by saw their ragged clothes and disheveled hair, they all looked sideways and looked at them with disdain.
They are used to this kind of view and don't think it's strange.
After walking about ten feet, the smell of rice came from across the street, and the two of them couldn't help but walk towards the place where the smell of rice came from.
I saw smoke rising from cooking stoves in a side alley on the left, and I didn't know that the family was lighting a fire to cook food.
Just as he was about to go in to take a chance, a loud shout came from behind, and someone shouted: "Stand!"
The two men turned around in shock, only to see two big men who looked like businessmen walking towards them with menacing looks and unkind expressions.
When Kou Zhong saw that it was not Yu Wenhuaji and his men, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to step forward, bowed his head to the tunnel and said, "It's good to finally meet Uncle Guan Cha."
The two businessmen were stunned for a moment, and the older one asked, "What's so good about seeing us?"
Kou Zhong's eyes turned red and he said sadly: "Our brothers are from Daxing. My name is Yu Wenzhong and his name is Yu Wen Ling. We were originally going to Yangzhou by boat. Unexpectedly, we were attacked by the mob on the way. The boat capsized and people were killed. More than a thousand people were killed."
All the entourage were buried at the bottom of the river. Only my brother escaped, but lost his way. We were originally going to Yangzhou to visit our uncle Yuchi, the general manager of Yangzhou, alas!"
The two officers looked at each other in confusion, and the other one asked suspiciously: "Where did the accident happen to you, and how did you get here?"
Xu Ziling knew the opportunity and responded: "We had an accident in the Grand Canal. In order to avoid the thieves, we hurriedly took the road and walked for many days to get here. The two uncles have great surnames. If they can send us to Yangzhou, Uncle Yuchi will definitely be very interested in you."
reward."
The older official said: "My name is Zhou Ping, and his name is Chen Wang."
When Kou Zhong saw that the two of them were looking at their own clothes, which looked like beggars and not like noble masters, he quickly said: "When we were climbing mountains and forests, our clothes were all torn. Fortunately, our clothes were torn."
I found a small village, exchanged my jade jewelry for two sets of clothes, but was given random directions, and ended up here. I would like to ask you two uncles how far is this place from Yangzhou?"
Chen Wang and Zhou Ping exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
Zhou Ping coughed dryly, his attitude became more respectful, and he asked in a low voice: "Who are the two young masters?"
Kou Zhong's face did not change and he said: "My father Yu Wenwen Gu, my uncle Yu Wenji, alas! My father has never been good at martial arts, so tired that my two brothers only know the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they worry about the world's worries every day.
You will be happy when the world comes to you, otherwise as long as you learn martial arts from my uncle, you won’t be so useless today."
Zhou Ping and Chen Wang were two idiots who listened to what he said. Although they didn't quite understand it, they were frightened by Yu Wenhua's name. Their suspicions disappeared and they hurriedly fell to the ground and shouted disrespectful.
Kou Zhong Da Le said with a smile: "You two uncles, please don't be too polite. I wonder if there is a restaurant nearby that has more decent dishes?"
Zhou Ping said respectfully: "You two gentlemen, please go with us! Although Gao Pengxuan in this town is an authentic side dish, it is very famous."
Turning to Chen Wang, he said: "Why don't you go and notify Magistrate Shen immediately and tell him that Lord Yuwen's two nephews are here?
The two of them were startled, but their stomachs were growling wildly, so they didn't care much.
