The bridge was burned, but the river still had to be crossed. The water from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River was split into two parts by the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. It became more rapid here. After years of erosion, no one knew how deep the river bottom was. Hawking picked up a big stone and
Throw it into the river. There is a "plop", and there are not even waves. Everyone looks at each other, there is no bridge, and crossing the river has become a difficult task.
"Son, these people are too bad to fight with us and engage in such despicable methods!" Hawking was very angry, but he had no choice.
Su Rendao: "A method is a method. It doesn't matter what kind of abuse it is. Their purpose is to block us and prevent us from going back. Now we just can't get through. Their purpose has been achieved, so it is a good method."
"No!" Hawking said angrily: "We can't let them succeed. I'm going to find a boat right now. I don't believe it. A small river can stop us!"
"This is your response! There is progress!" Su Ren smiled: "If you don't have a boat, it would be good to cut some bamboo to make a bamboo raft."
"Yes! How could I forget! Everything is lacking here, except bamboo!" Hawking suddenly became happy.
Of course, the boat could not be found. Since the bridge was burned, all the boats were naturally taken away. After a whole afternoon, Hawking and ten people finally built a bamboo raft, which was double-decker.
The advantage of a double-layer bamboo raft is that your feet won’t get wet when you stand on it.
Su Ren was dressed in white, standing on the bank of the Minjiang River with his head held high. The rushing river roared down, bringing with it a strong river wind that blew up Su Ren's robe. The two streamers above his head were fluttering in the wind. He looked so chic.
It was just like a painting. Su Ren didn't see his back, but Hawking and the ten guards could see it clearly. After being amazed, they decided to tie the bamboo raft into a double layer.
Night is not suitable for crossing the river in fast currents. Since you have already waited all day, you don’t mind waiting one more night. After dinner, sentries were sent out, and the remaining people sat around the fire, roasting dried meat and talking.
Gossip. The dried meat squeaked out with oil, and the spreading aroma attracted many hungry beasts. However, no one dared to come forward, firstly because of the fire, and secondly because of the dangerous smell here.
nervous.
"Brother, who do you think did this? They think burning the bridge will prevent us from getting back here? What a bunch of idiots."
"Who else can we offend? We can't offend many people. We can think of them with our toes. I'm afraid no one in Wenshui except Liu Wen would be unhappy with our return."
"This old boy doesn't have a long memory. Is it possible that your letter to that Tian Fu didn't work?"
"On the contrary, what he did can only show that the letter played a big role. He didn't want us to go back and cause trouble, so he used this method. However, this method was too clumsy. It should not have been done by Liu Wen himself.
It must have been done secretly by someone under his command to please Liu Wen, most likely the spy arranged by Liu Wen in Wuyang."
Huo Jin nodded: "It must be these turtle sons. Next time I go to Wuyang, I will definitely dig them out!"
"To be honest, these people are really good at hiding themselves. We have been here for such a long time and we didn't notice it at all. Liu Wen has done extraordinary things for his plan. It seems that we are right to come back this time. Otherwise, this
Liu Wen can really pass the test this time."
"No way! Although I don't know what you said to Tian Fu, it must be an important reminder. If Liu Wen can pass the test like this, those people in the court are all blind."
The bearded old Zhao had been listening quietly. When he heard this, he interrupted: "If they weren't blind, wouldn't they know what happened to Wenshui over the years? There are people everywhere who can't survive. As long as there is some way, no one can
I’m willing to go up the mountain and become a robber!”
The rest of the people nodded repeatedly.
Su Ren chuckled: "Since ancient times, the government has forced the people to rebel. Speaking of it, the common people's requirements are the simplest, just food and clothing. As long as the government can meet this requirement, everyone will be a good citizen."
"Sir, what you said is good. I think you should be the emperor, so that everyone in the world will be safe!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed loudly this time: "I won't do it! What's the good thing about being an emperor? You have to deal with the world's affairs every day. It's tiring and not beneficial. And you guys
He scolded me behind my back, and my face turned red and my ears burned every day. I was scared just thinking about it, and if I didn’t do well, I would be called a coward by future generations. It’s not worth it!”
A group of people laughed together with Su Ren.
Hawking said flatteringly: "That's right, it's good for us to be like this. We have enough food and clothing, drink tea and eat meat, and we'll be fine like this for the rest of our lives."
The night wind blew up, blowing the bonfire everywhere. Fortunately, the climate was humid, otherwise it would have caused a fire. Su Ren packed up his clothes, moved to the outside, picked up a few stones, and surrounded the fire to prevent it from burning.
Burning branches were blown away, causing fires.
The green eyes outside the camp were staring here. These guys couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance and kept getting closer. Hawking stood up with a roar, swung the red tassel gun in his hand, and stabbed the big tree beside him with one shot.
The beasts quickly took a few steps back.
"You have such a powerful method, but it's still wrong to use the force. Otherwise, it would be enough to kill people if you can kill them. But if you want to frighten these beasts, there is still something missing!"
The sudden sound made everyone nervous. They all touched their weapons and surrounded Su Ren.
Hawking angrily yelled into the forest: "You can't be a hero if you have the ability to speak out, but you are sneaky." He patted the two people in front of him twice on the back, and the two people immediately walked towards the outer circle and disappeared.
In the dark shadow of the forest.
The man made no sound. After a while, the sound of fighting came from the left. Hawking shouted and ran straight away with his red tassel gun.
As Hawking joined in, the fighting became more intense. When everything calmed down, the forest became deathly quiet. The people surrounding Su Ren looked back at Su Ren: "Don't worry, sir, we will never let the bad guys do it."
Mr. Hurt.”
Bearded old Zhao is the leader of this team: "Xiao San and Wang Meng go get the horses, let's get out of here!"
Su Rendao: "No, this person doesn't have any malicious intentions, otherwise he wouldn't say anything. With his ability, we can't leave at all, wait and see!"
"Hahaha! You are indeed a decisive person. No wonder Jun'er is at your mercy. He is really not an ordinary person to be able to make such a big battle in Wenshui!"
"Senior, can you show up and say something? Since there is no harm, it would be nice for us to have tea and chat!" Su Ren shouted.
A person walked out of the forest, and everyone gathered around Su Ren immediately became nervous. The person was unkempt, with messy gray hair covering his entire face, and a long sword hanging under his waist. As the wind direction changed, bursts of
An unpleasant smell wafted from the man's body.
Su Ren subconsciously prepared to pinch his nose. After thinking about it, he felt it was rude and quickly put his hand down.
The visitor laughed and said, "It really tastes bad. After staying in the mountains for more than half a year, I feel like I'm going rancid."
As the man approached, everyone protected Su Ren and kept retreating. The bearded old Zhao held up his sword and asked: "What did you do to our people? If you dare to touch them, I will kill you at the risk of my life!"
The visitor didn't take Lao Zhao's threat to heart at all. He walked into the bonfire they gave up, grabbed the roasted and fragrant dried meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate seven or eight sticks in a row and poured himself a cup of tea.
, after drinking the tea, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It is indeed very fragrant. These are the only things that can lure me out. I haven't eaten anything so fragrant in half a year."
"Don't worry, that doll is pretty good. He has some skills, but his attacks are not heavy and he can't move freely. After a few more years of practice, he will have some achievements. I restrained him in the forest. Send someone quickly. If it's too late, be careful of those wild beasts.
have eaten!"
Lao Zhao was shocked and quickly rushed towards the forest with his two brothers.
The visitor lifted up the hair in front of his eyes and looked at Su Ren carefully: "I just said that I wanted to drink tea and chat with me. How can we talk while standing so far away?"
Su Ren smiled, separated from the two guards in front of him and walked towards the bonfire. The two of them quickly followed closely, always holding their weapons in their hands. As long as they found something wrong, they would definitely take action immediately, even if they risked their own lives.
I will protect Su Renzhou carefully.
Su Ren sat down opposite the visitor: "I heard that Mr. Jun just said Jun'er, but Lao Jun looked so stern?"
"Haha, you're not stupid! It's that kid."
"I wonder if sir and my second brother are..."
"That's my apprentice!"
"Ah!" Su Ren was completely confused: "Taoist Priest Chongxu!"
"No one has called me this for a long time. I have been here for more than half a year and no one has even spoken. If someone hadn't passed by here from time to time recently, I wouldn't have come out. If I hadn't smelled the fragrant meat today, I wouldn't have seen it.
You, I feel guilty!"
"You should indeed be at fault for cheating your apprentice!" Huo Jin was brought out by Lao Zhao's men. His nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his clothes were torn in several places.
Su Ren was completely relieved. He pointed at Hawking with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, this is still your disciple. He learned kung fu from Leng Jun for a few days and proclaimed himself a warm water overlord."
"Hahaha! No wonder you feel weird after fighting with him and why don't you come over to pay homage to the master? By the way, why aren't you a Taoist priest?"
Hawking rolled his eyes: "With a master like you, my second brother has never beaten me like this!"
"Why are you the second brother again? Your relationship is too messy!"
Su Ren said with a smile: "The whole family is barking! Could it be that the Taoist priest has been around here since his last wandering?"
"That's wandering, it's obviously an escape!" Su Ren didn't say anything out of politeness. Huo Jingang was taught a lesson, and he felt angry. He opened his mouth and shook off all the embarrassing things about Chongxu Lao Dao: "The one who killed Liu Wen was the doctor."
The younger son, fearing retaliation, left his apprentice and ran away. With such a master, if it weren't for my elder brother, Liu Wen could have burned down your Laojun Temple."
"Ahem!" Old Taoist Chongxu coughed twice in embarrassment: "I was confused for a moment, I was confused for a moment!" (To be continued)
