Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 10 Sailing in the dark night, laughing and catching the strong beam like a mouse

The autumn sunset slowly fell under the western mountain, and the red glow in the sky gradually lost its beauty and faded away.Night finally came.

"It's time to go!" Xing Yan said. "Hmm!" Ju Ying was a little nervous.

Just as he was leaving the room, the boy stopped suddenly, and after thinking for a while, he turned to the girl behind him and said, "This trip is no joke, Ju Ying, you must act according to what we discussed just now, and don't mess around!" "I will!"

The girl also knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, so she nodded heavily.

"Also," Xing Yan said with a solemn expression, "If you miss, Ju Ying, leave me alone and run away first!"

"...I will not leave you alone!" "Thank you! But do as I say. Because only if you escape, can you help me move soldiers." If I am caught, you go as soon as possible Find someone, he will be able to solve my distress! "

"Who?" "The Second Generation Staff of the King."

Nanji Island, shrouded in night, is calm and serene.The scenery of lakes and mountains in the autumn night is extremely quiet.Because of this, the man walking crookedly on the embankment seemed particularly uncoordinated.

This man who was humming obscene ditties indiscriminately and who was obviously drunk was none other than our well-known Chen Kui and Chen Daban.

"You're lucky today, you can find the ferry without much effort!" With blinded drunken eyes, he vaguely saw a black-covered boat carrying passengers parked under the shade of willows on the lake embankment not far ahead.Poyang Lake in the night has become calm, with only slight lake waves washing the shore of the lake gently, and the awning boat goes up and down and shakes along with the waves.

"Hee hee, these boatmen usually hide from me like a plague god, but today there is one, just waiting for me to come and sit!"

Chen Kuizhi was thinking complacently: "Haha! Eat free meals and ride on the overlord boat, you should be like this!"

Hearing his greeting, the boatman, who was squatting at the bow of the boat wearing a bamboo hat and receiving guests, quickly stood up, stretched out his hand, and carefully helped Bantou Chen, who smelled of alcohol, onto the boat, and then untied the cable tied to the willow tree. , called out, "Sir, sit still!" and tapped the penny on the lake embankment stone, and the boat swung lightly from the shore of the lake under the shade of willows, heading towards Poyang Lake in the misty night. drive away.

"I didn't expect this boatman to be funny, haha..." This little sesame and mung bean boss Chen Bantou just likes others to call him a master. "What are you going to do when you go back later? Go back to sleep... No, I remember... Master, I have to go to the prison to interrogate that little lady overnight!" "Later, I will greet her well, Let her know my master Chen's flirtatious means..." Just as the boat reached the center of the lake, this master Chen was in a trance with drunkenness, lewd and lewd smiles on his face, and suddenly he heard a "hoo" in his ears. , I only felt a blackness in front of my eyes—it turned out that a big sack was covering the drunken Mr. Chen Kui and Mr. Chen in the big sack, and the mouth of the sack was fastened tightly. Make a bunch!

"It's bitter! I'm on a thief's boat!" All of a sudden, Chen Kui's drunkenness disappeared, and his flirtatious spirit just now was immediately thrown out of the blue.

"Help, life, what!!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen was in such a terrible situation, he only struggled a few times, and then howled like a pig!It’s just that Poyang Lake is covered in mist, and the night is hazy, and there are few boats on the lake. Even if fishermen hear it, who would dare to approach it?Only deaf.Therefore, although Chen Bantou's broken voice shouted for help, although it was extremely piercing and piercing, it had no practical effect at all.

"Shut your beak!" A rough voice shouted loudly, and then Bantou Chen felt an iron fist rain down on him.

Although there was a thin layer of sackcloth as a cover, but this fat beating only made Chen Ban grin his teeth from the pain, his face was distorted so ugly - of course, being in the sack did not prevent his image from being damaged.

The beating finally came to an end, and then the man shouted: "Call again! Call me again and I'll throw you into the lake to feed you bastards!" The so-called "a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses", I can't think of this man who is usually domineering. Chief Chen is actually a hero among heroes.Master Chen in the sack immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly stopped this meaningless, but likely to bring serious consequences dry shouting. He only begged in a low voice in the sack:

"I don't know if this hero is not too generous? If so, just tell the villain, and the villain will give it to the hero immediately after returning. It is absolutely unambiguous!"

The thief didn't talk to him.There was silence for a while, and the cabin became silent for a while, only the sound of the lake waves outside the boat was heard.However, the more quiet it was, the more hairy Chen Bantou felt.It suddenly occurred to me that I didn't seem to have done any good things before, maybe this time it was the enemy who came to seek revenge.But that's not right, the people who usually come to bully are sure to be ordinary people, and it seems that they haven't offended any troublesome people?

Chen Kui was in a state of confusion, when he suddenly heard a clear voice saying: "Brother, on such a dark and windy night, and a beautiful day, why don't we sing a poem to cheer us up?" one person!"

When Chen Kui heard the sound, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, and blamed Huang Tang, who lived in the water, for not knowing the way before he boarded the boat, and fell into the trap of a lake thief!

"However... Judging from the tone of the thieves, it seems that they are still arty. Maybe they are the well-educated and sensible ones among the thieves!"

Chen Kui suddenly seemed to see a life-saving straw, wishful thinking kept praying, hoping that the Bodhisattva in Laoye Temple would show up and help.

She was pregnant with ghosts, but when she heard the "big brother" cough and say "OK", he began to chant a poem:
"A life in the armored horses, a home in the swords and guns team. Wine is placed next to the cemetery, and killing is life!"

Hearing this, Chen Bantou was frightened out of his wits!Just when Chen Kui's face changed when he heard the poem, and he was anxious to launch his 80-year-old high hall, he heard the young thief interface praise: "Brother, this poem is really wonderful, and it is a daily portrayal of my generation! Although my younger brother is dull, his literary talent is not as good as that of his elder brother Wan." One, but there is also a graffiti, come and big brother." "Oh? I don't know how to get along with my brother? Come and hear it!"

Although impatient, Chen Daban, who was afraid of disturbing the thief Shixing and causing fists, had no choice but to hold back the urge to speak at the moment and listened attentively on the deck of the boat.At the same time, I just kept praying in my heart, I hope that these two thieves with unique styles will flourish in poetry, and even sing out masterpieces. If they are in a good mood, maybe they will let him go.

So in the common expectation of the two people inside and outside the bag, the young thief finally read softly:
"Kill a person in ten steps, and leave no trace for thousands of miles. How can you leave no trace? Throw it to feed the lake god!"

The two listeners were savoring the meaning of the poem for themselves, but when the young thief read it excitedly, he suddenly said harshly: "Boss, since this guy likes to live in the water the most, why not just throw him into the lake and feed him to the Dragon King. We two brothers went to swim in the lake, and the younger brother has a few new poems that he wants to ask the elder brother for advice!" "No!"

"No!!" The first two sentences of the elder thief and Mr. Chen almost simultaneously came out.Although the intentions were different and the accents were very different, what made Mr. Chen heaved a sigh of relief was that the thief's words had the same meaning as his own. "Why not, brother?"

"Your brother doesn't know, although this fellow is hateful, but elder brother has something to do to him, don't kill him."

"Righteous man! I don't know what the king wants the younger one to do? Murder and arson or robbery? As long as the king gives you an order, I, Chen Kui, will never frown even if I go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire!"

As soon as he heard that his life could be without any worries, the head of Taipan Chen suddenly felt that the stuffy black sack suddenly became a place of light.It seems that the pig's head and three animals he promised to the Bodhisattva just now should have worked. Hearing that he is still useful to this thief, Chen Kui immediately wished to promise him the capital of heaven—but he didn't dare to twist and move , for fear of being misunderstood and wanted to escape. "Shut up!"

Hearing his noise, the young thief scolded, and then asked softly, "I don't know what's wrong with you, brother?"

"Hey! I'm afraid I'll make you laugh at me. I think your eldest brother is full of talent and outstanding poetry, but because of this, it's hard to find a bosom friend, and he can't look down on those vulgar fans anymore. So much so that the elder brother is still here today. , There is still a lack of support. My brother, you are still young, and you don’t know the pain of having no one to warm your bed.”

Speaking up to this point, the elderly thief couldn't help sighing, and his tone was sad, so that Chen Kui almost forgot his situation, and almost spoke out to comfort him.

"Ah! I don't know that big brother still suffers like this! Just now, my younger brother was reckless. But, what does this have to do with this guy?" "Ah! Your Majesty! The matter of Mrs. Sister-in-law fell on the villain! I am the best! Ming I'll snatch ten or eight for you early in the morning! Guaranteed everyone..." This is exactly when Chen Kui reacted to the word "this guy", and immediately expressed his loyalty. If the bag was not narrow, he would not even express his loyalty Dance for him too! "Shut your bird's mouth! If you keep yelling, I will give you another punch!" The sack immediately returned to normal, and there was no living thing in it.

"My dear brother, you don't know something. This morning, my elder brother was going to buy some Chinese herbal medicine on Wanghu Street for emergencies, but I saw your sister-in-law in front of the medicine stand—er, that is the medicine seller. Girl, I fell in love with her at first sight, and we both admired each other's talents, so we made a private appointment for life under the sun and in front of the medicine stall!"

"Brother was about to come back to discuss marriage with you, but he really couldn't let go of your lovely sister-in-law, so he turned back halfway, wanting to talk to her a few more times—who knows that it's already a waste of money, It's hard to find a trace. It's the 'passionate since ancient times, free to hate'..."

"Ah! I didn't expect that under your rugged appearance, big brother, there is such a delicate and romantic heart!" People took your sister-in-law and my father-in-law into the yamen! This revenge of taking your wife and killing your father..." The big brother of the thief suddenly became angry again, so Chen Kui felt that he had been kicked hard on his ass .It's just that even though it hurts, I have no choice but to restrain myself, not daring to shout.This Chief Chen is indeed the head of the county government servants, he is really clever, while enduring the pain, he took over the quarrel and begged in a low voice: "Damn the little one! Damn the little one! The villain is blind and offended my sister-in-law! I just ask the hero to let the villain go back, and the villain will send his wife back tomorrow morning."

"Oh? Seriously?!"

"No lie! If I tell half a lie, let Chen Kuitian strike me five times with lightning! Die hard! Just let me be..." Knowing that the critical moment was approaching, the leader of Taipan Chen cast a poisonous curse without hesitation, Afraid of being hesitant to speak, the thief changed his mind, and his life was ruined in Poyang Lake.Chen Kui's poisonous oath came from the heart, and his tone was sincere.This guy who bullies the soft and fears the tough is exactly "traveling at night for a long time and finally encountering ghosts". Today I know that there are people who are more ruthless than myself, so Dang even dare not have any second thoughts. "Okay! Stop swearing and swearing. Forgive me, you don't dare to play tricks with me. If you don't see my wife before noon tomorrow, I won't spare you without lightning strikes! Unless you stay in the county for the rest of your life. Don't walk around at night in Yali!" Chen Kui didn't dare to say that, and proclaimed his loyalty. "Brother, since this guy is subdued, let's get him over." "Cross over? It won't be a supersedation, right?" Bantou Chen, who was already frightened, was suspicious, but he heard the elder brother ponder for a moment, and said:

"No, there may be idlers walking on the north bank, and it may cause bad things if they are seen; it's better to turn the boat back and find a secluded place on Nanji Island to throw it down."

"Sure enough, the boss is thoughtful! Just follow what the elder brother said." Chen Kui could hear clearly in the bag, but he didn't dare to intervene.The cabin returned to calm again, and I could only hear the boat in my ears, the scull... Today, the waterway of Poyang Lake seems to have become extremely long in Chen Kui's mind. It took a long time for the boat to stop on the shore. Down.Fang Zi was secretly happy, but suddenly he felt like he was flying through the clouds and riding the fog. He was picked up with the sack, walked a few steps and threw it on the ground, his body hurt, and he didn't feel "ah".As soon as he uttered the words, Team Leader Chen immediately became terrified, and he was on guard secretly, not daring to make any more noise.

"Chen, Da, Ban, Tou!" The young thief said in a strange voice: "You just scream! Maybe someone will come to rescue you if you scream!" The sack was as quiet as stagnant water.

"Ah! Could it be that he fell to his death?" "My lord, the little one is still alive!"

Fearing that the thieves would punch and kick to check, Chen Bantou could only answer aloud.It's just that this fellow has tried his best to lower his voice, if it wasn't for the quietness of the night and the closeness, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear it for a while.

"It's better not to die. Remember, before noon tomorrow, I want to see my wife and her father come out of the yamen." After a pause, he added: "If they lose a single hair, tomorrow will be yours." Death day!"

"sure!"

Suddenly feeling a bit ambiguous, Chen Kui hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! Tomorrow's affairs will be left to the villain!"

The tone is firm, and the voice is like a mosquito moan.After waiting for a long time, no one spoke.Chen Kui was wondering, but found that his body was gradually able to turn, and his breath gradually became colder.

It turned out that at some point, the mouth of the bag had been loosened.After realizing this, Chen Kui still didn't dare to move.After a while, after confirming that there was indeed no one around, I dared to get out of the bag.It turned out that Team Leader Chen really had a lot of experience, and he knew that he must never meet the bandits twice.If he accidentally caught sight of the thief's appearance, then this little life would be considered here - Thinking of that powerful fist, Chen Bantou couldn't help shivering again.

Standing there for a while, Chen Bantou calmed down and looked around, only to find that the place where he was standing was not the Nanji Island that the thief mentioned, but he had returned to Poyang Hubei. shore.There are a few small boats by the water, rippling with the waves, and looking farther away, you can vaguely see the silhouette of the overhanging eaves of the Wanghu Tower.

"These two thieves are really cunning!" Chen Kui cursed in his heart.It's just that he didn't dare to be negligent under his feet, and walked straight to the county government office—in fear that he would be late, and some unscrupulous subordinates did not know how to slow down the father and daughter who rescued the suffering!
