The footsteps were heavy and there were many people coming. Ji Cha's sleepiness immediately disappeared. He had no fear in his heart, and there was still a faint expectation: "I have heard for a long time that there are thieves in the mountains and thieves in the water. What a coincidence that we caught up with him? It's interesting, on this boat
It’s all hard work, don’t they step on it?”
The six hunters have been able to deal with wild beasts in the mountains all year round, so they are certainly better than ordinary people; the boatmen who beg for food on the river usually know how to use both hands; the Confucian scholar may look at the quality of his writing at first glance, but as long as he looks closely, he can find that there are traces on the thumb, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand.
He has thick calluses and his wrists are flexible but not stiff. He is suspected to be a swordsman who practices the "book sword" line of swordsmanship. The old man in blue shirt looks sick and weak during the day, but his breathing is strong and heavy when he sleeps at night. He must have internal strength; he and the people next to him "
Bride", not to mention.
The vigilant boatman and several hunters in the cabin were awakened by the footsteps, and each picked up his belongings. The boatman did not leave the cabin, but hunched over and shouted through the curtain: "Did you do it?"
The others also woke up, and both the scholar and the old man opened their eyes instantly. Hong Chen waved his hand drowsily, subconsciously wanting to take off the hijab covering his face, but Ji Cha saw this and held him down.
Several shouts and curses came from outside the curtain: "Let the guy named Zhong get out of here!" "We have three ships coming, you little turtle can't run away!" "Don't even think about resisting, there are dozens of hundreds of stone bows outside, and they are shooting.
Everyone in the boat will have to accompany you as hedgehogs."
The sound was so noisy that everyone in the cabin could understand that the person coming was not seeking wealth but seeking revenge.
The boatman turned to the crowd and said, "Which friend's surname is Zhong? We have a small business to earn some hard-earned money. Whoever is in trouble should move on his own."
The hunters shook their heads, and so did the old man. Ji Cha thought to himself that the Confucian scholar's surname must be Zhong. Unexpectedly, the Confucian scholar also shook his head. The boatman looked over, and Ji Cha said: "My surname is not Zhong, either. Don't look at me."
The boatman shouted out: "Dear friends, no one here is named Zhong. We have found the wrong boat."
Someone shouted from outside: "That's nonsense. We asked people on the pier and on several boats, and they all watched him get on the boat. Mr. Zhong, are you really not going to come out? What a waste of time!"
The boatman was shocked and angry: "Whose surname is Zhong? Do you understand the rules? If one person does something, the other person is responsible, and if you injure others, you are considered a good man?"
But the bearded man shouted outside: "How old is the man named Zhong, what clothes does he wear, and what does he look like?" The other hunters gave thumbs up and praised him for his wit.
Someone outside said: "The person named Zhong is a hunchback!"
In an instant, everyone else in the cabin looked at Ji Cha.
But Ji Cha was just laughing in his heart: "Idiot, you are going after your ancestors after others." He couldn't help but start to play tricks on him. He deliberately didn't get up and didn't defend himself. He just said: "People outside are so cruel, and I'm so scared, but I can't
Dare to go out."
The boatmen and hunters were afraid of being implicated, so they started to catch him. But Ji Cha was very agile and squeezed around in the small cabin without even catching a piece of his clothes.
Suddenly the bearded hunter shouted: "Zhongtuozi, hurry up and see your enemy, or I will chop off this little girl's head!" Others looked and saw him holding a short-handled hunting knife on the "bride"
The neck looked fierce, as if it could be chopped off in the next second.
"Cut it!"
Ji Cha was not afraid that he would threaten Hong Chen and continued to hide with a smile.
The Confucian scholar who had not spoken since entering the boat spoke up: "You don't even care about your wife, you are not a man." Then he said to the bearded Orion: "Friend, put down the knife and don't hurt innocent people. I will go outside to meet those people.
Man, let’s see if we can talk.” After saying that, he stood up, lifted the curtain, and walked out of the cabin.
The bearded hunter put down his knife, and the other hunters stopped chasing him. Ji Cha sat back next to Hong Chen and asked, "My wife, are you not scared?" Hong Chen shook his head.
I just heard the Confucian scholar outside the cabin say: "I dare to ask my friends, why do you have any grudge against the hunchback named Zhong to such an extent?"
Someone replied: "We are from the 'Yun Family' of Liuyun City. A month ago, a camel beggar fell hungry in front of the house. The master saw that he was pitiful, so he not only gave him food, but also allowed him to work at home. Who knew that this guy
He is really a thief who came to insult my young lady in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the loyal maid tried her best to stop him and he did not succeed.
"He killed an old woman, two nursing homes, and the housekeeper in the house! My young lady was so frightened that she became seriously ill and lost half her life. No doctor could do anything about it. A gentleman said,
This is a frightened heart disease, and the source of the trouble must be eliminated in front of her before it can be cured.
"Our Yun family has divided into seven groups. We have captured people from all over Yunzhou. We found the traces in Xiangyun City a few days ago and chased them all the way."
The Confucian scholar said: "Yunzhou has a population of tens of millions, how many hunchbacks are there among them? How can we be sure that he is the one on our boat, and that he is not alone and has his wife with him?"
The Yun family said: "Zhongtuozi not only has a hunchback, but also has a broken bamboo basket. He has always carried it with us when we were in the Yun Mansion. Moreover, you should know what the nature of the flower picker is, and there must be a woman by his side. We asked in Xiangyun City
When a hunchback led a bride to the pier carrying a bamboo basket, I knew it was him."
Ji Cha was surprised when he heard this, and thought that it was too clever. He had disguised himself as a hunchback, and the bamboo basket was used to store the stolen magic weapon. How could there be someone who looked exactly like him? He also thought that Zhong Tuozi was a flower-picking thief that everyone looked down upon.
, it would be too shameful for me to continue to pretend to be him. I got up and left the cabin.
Ji Cha came to the deck and saw a large ship in front of the ship and a large ship in the left and right rear. There were many people holding torches and many people drawing bows and arrows. He secretly thought that the Yun family had really gone to great lengths to catch Zhong Tuozi.
When the Confucian scholar saw Ji Cha coming out, he immediately said that the true master had appeared, and immediately shouted: "You can't pick flowers but you still kill people. You really are not a good person."
Ji Cha ignored him and said to the Yun family members on the deck: "Look, am I the Zhongtuozi you are looking for?"
The fire was not very bright, and a young man from the Yun family standing at the front frowned and stared at Ji Cha for a long time, then said: "Look... No, Zhong Tuozi is younger than you and more handsome than you." Someone from behind reminded him: "
Zhongtuozi may be able to change his appearance and his voice."
The young man from the Yun family nodded and said, "You can tell if you are Zhong Tuozi by taking off your shirt. That day, Zhong Tuozi was stabbed in the left chest by my father. The injury was serious. It is expected that even if the wound heals, the scar will still be there today."
"
Others also shouted: "Take off your clothes!" "Hurry!"
Ji Cha was stunned for a moment, then cursed angrily: "It's your mother's dream! You stinky dog and turtle!"
The young man from the Yun family suddenly became awe-struck. He jumped forward and thrust his sword out, but Ji Cha dodged it. The other Yun family members on the deck also thrust out their swords, but no one touched Ji Cha.
The Confucian scholar next to him thought to himself: "If this man were not Zhongtuozi, how could he refuse to undress? But his physical skills are really powerful and it is difficult to catch him. The Yun family is generous and has a long-standing reputation among the world and the people. It is time to help." Then he joined.
The battle circle that besieged Ji Cha.
Originally facing only a few people from the Yun family, Ji Cha was able to dodge with ease, but with the addition of a Confucian scholar of the Shujian lineage, who used the sword to refer to the sword, his moves were sharp, and the deck area was very small, making his situation even more unfavorable. The ship stopped at the river.
He was unable to use Qinggong to escape. If he was caught, he would inevitably be stripped of his clothes and examined. Ji Cha shouted anxiously: "Daughter-in-law, if you don't save me, you will be a widow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, within two breaths, a red figure jumped out from behind the curtain. His head was still covered with a red hijab, and he already held the short-handled hunting knife of the bearded hunter in his hand.
Hong Chen rushed into the crowd and slashed with his sword several times. The long swords of several members of the Yun family were knocked away. The Confucian scholar took a sword from the Yun family and fought with Hong Chen for three to five rounds. The sword broke with a click.
On the deck, the other three ships and the people in the small boats who raised the curtains to watch the battle were all shocked: This bride is so powerful in martial arts.
The Confucian scholar saw that the bride was no ordinary person and asked, "What is the relationship between the girl and Zhong Tuozi? Is she really his wife?"
Hong Chen remained silent, and the young man from the Yun family yelled angrily: "You ugly old woman, you know your husband is doing dirty things outside, but you still protect him, aren't you so stupid?"
Ji Cha smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether my wife is stupid or not, she is definitely a hundred thousand times more handsome than your young lady." As he spoke, he suddenly made a quick move and jumped behind the young man of the Yun family. He stretched out his right hand and strangled him.
Neck: "This is your young master, right? If you want him to live, let us go!"
The Yun family did not expect that "Zhong Tuozi" would move so fast, and were extremely panicked. Now that the young master was captured, even the archers from three ships were helpless.
