Among the three brothers of the Li family on the ship, except for the eldest brother Li Long, who could still see two and a half corpses, the other Li Bao and Li Biao were already dead and even their human figures were missing. The slaves of the Li family were struck by Chen Mengsheng's thunder
They were all frightened. As soon as Dazui came up from the boat, he saw the tragic scene of the third master of the Li family being burned in the big sail. He shouted: "Gods, have mercy on me, gods have mercy..."
Chen Mengsheng shouted: "The brothers of the Li family have done many unjust things. If you want to resist for the Li family, just come at me!" Which of the slaves of the Li family dared to step forward, but they were clever enough to run to the stern of the boat to help them up.
Yao Rengui and two little girls who were hungry and had difficulty walking.
Chen Mengsheng used a wind and thunder to extinguish the fire on the ship, and everyone docked the ship at the riverside. Qi Ying had woken up at this time and was being taken care of by Shangguan Yanran. Xiang Xiaotian came over to get the Overlord Bow and said: "Brother, in the kitchen on the ship
There were also many lives lost when the third son of the Li family robbed the ship. There was such a big hole burned on the deck of the ship and it was not easy to send their bodies back home. It would be better for me to kill the slaves of the Li family and be killed.
The boatmen will give an explanation."
When the slaves of the Li family listened to Xiang Xiaotian's words, they knelt down and begged for mercy. Chen Mengsheng said loudly: "You are guilty of death and will not be able to escape. After I have saved them, you will go upstream and send them back to your hometown."
.All assets of the Li brothers will be compensated to the families of the victims, do you all hear clearly?"
Everyone in the Li family was grateful to Chen Mengsheng for not killing him. From Li Biao's room, Dazui took out the box containing the ill-gotten gains of the Li brothers over the years and distributed the banknotes at the feet of each victim.
. More than three thousand taels of silver notes were also given to Chen Mengsheng, who gave all the silver notes to the Lihua girl. He turned around and recited the rebirth mantra for the dead bodies on the boat, not only to save the wronged souls on the boat but also to the Yangtze River.
The souls of those who died in vain entered the reincarnation together. The whole river was filled with ghostly wind and the sound of ghosts crying. It turned out that some of the slaves of the Li family were greedy and frightened by the banknotes placed at the feet of the dead bodies.
I peed my pants on the spot and no longer dared to think anything wrong...
Shangguan Yanran saw that the two evil spirits who chased her yesterday were taken away by Hei Wuchang with a stern look on his face. After Chen Mengsheng had finished saving the souls of his enemies, it was already dimming. He sneered and said to the slaves of the Li family: "Why don't you hurry up?
Rowing back to Yicheng? Do you want me to summon the souls of the dead to accompany you? God is watching what you do, so I advise you to do more good deeds. The underworld will have its own judgment on good and evil." All the slaves nodded and knelt in thanks.
.
Chen Mengsheng came to Lihua, cast a nectar spell on Yao Rengui's legs and feet to heal his leg injury and said, "I wonder what Miss Lihua has planned in the future?"
Seeing that Yao Rengui's knee injury had recovered, Lihua couldn't help crying with joy and said: "Thank you, Master, for the rescue. The little girl wants to find a place to stay with Brother Rengui and the two girls in the future. Yicheng is no longer ours."
Now we have a place to stay. The little girl can only repay the master's kindness and virtue by holding a grass ring in her hand in the next life. The little girl bids farewell to the master and wishes him a long and happy life."
Yao Rengui has always been a poor talker, so he kowtowed to Chen Mengsheng three times with gratitude beyond words. Just as Lihua took them off the boat, he was stopped by Xiang Xiaotian. Xiang Xiaotian took out the morning pill from his sleeve.
The two steamed buns given by Zui were given to Xiaotong and Zhuzhu. The two little girls had been hungry for two days, so they picked up the steamed buns and ate them. Xiang Xiaotian felt sad and said to Da Zui: "Are there any more steamed buns? Hurry.
Go and get more, they are all poor people."
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for them right now." Dazui was really a kind-hearted person. After a while, he took out a large bag of dry food and water and gave it to Yao Rengui. Lihua said goodbye with tears.
Chen Mengsheng got off the boat and went away. Dazui looked at them and murmured: "Master, I am also a pitiful person. There are seniors and juniors in the family. I don't know what I will do in the future."
Xiang Xiaotian asked Chen Mengsheng: "Brother, it's thanks to his help this time. If he hadn't thrown his clothes in the river to report the news, we brothers still don't know when we can meet again."
Chen Mengsheng looked at Dazui and said with a smile: "Then what do you want to do? If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."
"I... I... am just a cook. Apart from cooking, I don't know anything else." Dazui whispered.
"Haha, let's do this. You go to Huzhou Prefecture and seek refuge at Zuixian Restaurant. I think as long as you work hard and make ends meet, it shouldn't be a problem. Okay, you guys can set off back. We've also disembarked here. Junior sister, please take good care of Miss Qi.
..." Xiang Xiaotian said anxiously: "How can Miss Xianglan go as far as she has just recovered from a serious illness? Let me carry her on my back." Xiang Xiaotian didn't care about Qi Ying's shyness and uneasiness, so he carried Qi Ying on his back.
He strode towards the shore, leaving Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran looking at each other in shock...
Chen Mengsheng and his party walked for half an hour before they saw a place with people. A tall stone tablet was engraved with three vague characters of Hulu Town. Qi Ying was on Xiang Xiaotian's back to avoid being seen by outsiders.
Xiang Xiaotian insisted on coming down and walking by herself, but Xiang Xiaotian couldn't resist her and had to let Shangguan Yanran help Qi Ying into the town. There were still fishing nets hanging out in some places in the town, and being close to the river to eat and drink made the town look very wealthy.
The red brick and tiled houses outline the clear sky and clear water, which is really unconventional. However, as Chen Mengsheng walked further, he felt something inexplicable and strange. Why was there no one in the streets and alleys? Even if he opened his eyes, he could not see anything strange. When he came to a house
The door was knocked several times in front of the big house, but no one came out to open the door. I knocked on several doors but no one answered, and some even opened the door wide but no one was there. Shangguan Yanran frowned and said:
"Brother, you see that the fertile fields we came here are overgrown with weeds. Could it be that all the people here have moved away?"
Qi Ying sighed weakly: "How can people be willing to move to such a good place?"
Chen Mengsheng jumped up high, pointed forward and said: "Brother, the junior sisters are not far from here, Miss Lihua and the others. Let me go up and ask them if they have discovered anything?"
Lihua was also overjoyed when she saw Chen Mengsheng and the others. Xiaotong blurted out: "This town is so strange. When the people in the town saw us, they all hid in their houses as if they had seen ghosts."
Xiang Xiaotian said impatiently: "What kind of rule is this? Hulu Town is so unreasonable. Brothers, we'd better leave Hulu Town as soon as possible."
Chen Mengsheng also felt that the town was weird and said: "Since the people in the town don't want to see us, let's not disturb them."
Yao Rengui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly waved his hand and said: "I have been to Hulu Town, and I know that the two ends of the town and the middle have been eroded by river tides for thousands of years, so it looks like a gourd. It is surrounded by water and can only travel by water."
Shangguan Yanran glanced at the road along the river: "There are no boats available here. Are we trapped alive in Hulu Town?" When the two and a half-year-old girls heard what Shangguan Yanran said, a trace of anxiety flashed in their eyes.
look.
Chen Mengsheng smiled and said: "You two little sisters, don't worry, there are so many ships coming and going here, why not take a rest first, and it won't be too late to make plans to leave after you have regained your energy."
Xiang Xiaotian deliberately interrupted and laughed: "I said you two little girls, do you know what the most delicious fish is in the Yangtze River?" Xiaotong and Zhuzhu both looked at Xiang Xiaotian with blank expressions.
He shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xiang Xiaotian said proudly: "The most delicious fish in the Yangtze River is the puffer fish, but that thing is extremely poisonous, and it is too troublesome to clean it up, and it will cost your life. But now it is the anchovies that are coming back."
During the trip, if we are lucky, uncle can treat you to delicious anchovy meat in the evening. Let the little girls go fishing with uncle."
Xiaotong had always been kind to Xiang Xiaotian, who gave them steamed buns. When she heard that he was taking her to catch fish, she clapped her little hands and followed Xiang Xiaotian. After all, Zhuzhu was one year older and asked doubtfully:
"Uncle, you have neither a harpoon nor a fishing net in your hand, how can you catch fish for us?"
"Haha, catching fish with a harpoon net is what fishermen do. Uncle, I rely on this big bow to catch fish. Brother, you used to sell fish, but you may not have eaten shad from the Yangtze River, right?
?Let’s spend the night here casually, and then take a boat to hit the road tomorrow.”
Chen Mengsheng knew that Xiang Xiaotian was afraid that the two little girls would be worried if they knew they were trapped here, so he took them to catch fish. The group of people followed Xiang Xiaotian to the river valley in the town without having anything else to do.
Xiang Xiaotian was really good at picking up some small pebbles with the Overlord Bow in his hand. He pulled the bow string to hit small fish with a sharp mouth that was as long as one finger. Xiang Xiaotian always failed to beat river pigs in the Han Mausoleum.
He was still worried about it. It seemed that he had put in a lot of hard work to hit the object with stones. When the stones were shot out, there would be no wasted hair. The killed shad would be rolled up to the shore by Shangguan Yanran with a long whip.
Without spending much effort, the smooth bluestone on the shore was piled with fish of all sizes. There were also seven or eight large grass carp weighing more than ten pounds. Qi Ying originally wanted to help clean up the dead fish, but she was
Xiang Xiaotian advised him to sit aside. Xiang Xiaotian turned over his hand and extended his hand to Chen Mengsheng and said: "Haha, brother, I can lend you your magic ruler. I didn't bring my knife back in Yicheng. Don't be stingy with me. Don't use it up."
I'll give it back to you." Chen Mengsheng smiled bitterly and took out the Demon-Conquering Ruler from his arms...
Xiang Xiaotian and two little girls were able to wash the fish, so they found an empty house by the river. They used the iron pot left in the house to cook a table full of fish. Xiang Xiaotian's craftsmanship was unquestionable.
Yes, it was a feast for a large group of people. After everyone finished eating, Xiang Xiao took out a bowl of thick milky white soup and gave it to Qi Ying. He hesitated and said: "This is... this is me
This soup is made with half of the anchovy meat. Drink it while it's hot. It'll be good for you to replenish your vitality..."
Qi Ying was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Accepting the invitation in front of everyone was not the same as not accepting it. Shangguan Yanran said with a smile: "Sister Xianglan, look how much Brother Xiang loves you. Just keep the good things."
I'll let you eat alone. If you don't drink it, I won't be polite!" As he said this, he went to take the fish soup from Xiang Xiaotian's hand. Xiang Xiaotian was so embarrassed that he quickly dodged and everyone in the room was surrounded by them.
It made me laugh out loud...
When night fell, many houses in Hulu Town were lit with lights. Chen Mengsheng wondered: "What's wrong with this town? There are no people in the day, but the lights are so bright at night. It seems there must be something fishy...
