[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

Songjiang is at the end of summer.The river tide belt is late, the sails are undulating in the distance, the reed leaves are rustling near the shore, the heron rises in the Milky Way, and the solitary star fades away.

A small boat slowly exposed its body from the reed leaves, rippling gently with the waves, a slender short brown boy sat on the bow, holding a thin bamboo fishing rod in his hand, and the silk thread was hanging down into the water.

The boy squinted his eyes half-closed, as if he was dozing off, but his wrists did not shake at all, as quiet as a statue. The cabin behind him was full of wine jars, and some of them opened the seals, and the jars could be filled with wine. He heard the splashing water of living creatures cruising.

The fish bit the hook, the silk stretched straight, the fishing rod quickly bent out of an arc, and the boy lifted his wrist, and a foot-long crucian carp broke out of the water.The young man skillfully picked the hook and threw the fish into the opened wine jar. With a splash, the wine splashed several inches high.

Putting on the bait again, and hanging the hook into the water, the boy sat cross-legged like a Buddha in meditation, motionless.

Suddenly, there was a shout: "Where did you come from, the little thief! Dare to fish here! Don't you know it's the handicap of Zhakong Island?"

The boy raised his eyelids, and replied unceremoniously: "The river is full of water, and the river is full of fish. I haven't seen the engraving of 'Sky Island' on any of them."

The sound of piercing the sky came suddenly, and a powerful arrow shot towards the boy's face.Hearing the hissing of the wind, the servant knew it was an arrow coming, so he didn't dare to be careless, he calculated the direction, tilted his head slightly, and avoided it lightly.

Unexpectedly, if the words were not speculative, he would kill the convenience.The boy couldn't help being angry from his heart, threw down the fishing rod, stood up abruptly, and cursed: "It's so unreasonable! The breeze and the moon have no owner, when is it your turn to take care of me fishing?"

"Seeing you fishing in the river, my young master is upset, so I want to take care of it."

It was a young man who answered, with an undisguised arrogance in his tone.The boy looked forward, and saw an ordinary fishing boat coming through the waves, the boatman was standing on the bow and rowing the oars, and in the cabin sat a young man in a sapphire blue shirt, with handsome features and a radiant temperament.With a bow in his hand, he aimed an arrow at the boy, and he spoke, and it was the same person who answered before, and his words were provocative: "Can you avoid this arrow, or can you not dodge it?" ?”

Another arrow came with the wind.This time the angle is very tricky - the boat is narrow and narrow, most of the boat is sunken in the rustling reeds, and the place to maneuver is even more cramped, and the arrow points to the boy's chest, all sides are sealed, Can't dodge.

Seeing the arrow coming, the boy staggered back half a step in panic at first, but in the end he turned to the side, with his upper body leaning against the dense reed pole, as if he would fall into the river if he tried harder.Or the young servant is thin and light, he half leaned on the reed pole and landed like a feather, unexpectedly he dodged the arrow with his half upside down.

The arrowhead passed under his eyelids and sank into the reed leaves. The wind of the arrow was so fierce that the skin on his face was aching.

After finally dodging the arrow, thinking of the arrogance in the young man's words, the boy confronted him tit for tat: "Want to test my kung fu? Let me also learn how good you two are!" He said, standing upright suddenly, He bent down to pick up a jug of wine, and threw it at the boatman on board.

Unexpectedly, Zhouzi was a man who didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't dodge, and was hit hard by the wine jug on his chest.The boy frowned and dodged, not getting his clothes wet by the water.

He didn't expect to make such an easy blow to the other party, the boy was stunned for a moment, he didn't know whether to accept it as soon as he saw it, or to take the opportunity to ridicule.Holding the oars, he saw the young man looking towards him with anger in his eyes, he couldn't help but get angry, and laughed aloud: "However, with this little ability, do you want to be a local snake on this Songjiang River?" But he was afraid that the young man's arrows would be too fast and hard to hold, so the servant quietly stirred up the water with the oar in his hand, and when he was about to turn around, he hurriedly looked to hide in the reeds, thinking to himself: 36 tricks, walking is the best policy, look at these people. It's not relentless, I'm afraid I can't bring all the wine in the cabin, and I wasted a few taels of silver.

The boat turned around, and an empty door appeared behind the servant.He was afraid that the young man's bow and arrow would be shot secretly, so he bent his head and looked back, and what he saw was not the other party drawing the bow and arrow, but the young man looking into the river with his head out, his expression was complicated, and there was a hint of bewilderment mixed with his anger.

Seeing the young boy looking back, he stepped on the boat and was half submerged in the reed leaves, like a fish entering the river, about to disappear, the young man gritted his teeth, stepped on the soap boots on the side of the boat, leaned into the water and called out: "Bai Fu , if you are not drowned, quickly climb up to punting!"

Hearing this, the boy said to himself: "It's not that this evil spirit has no hands or feet. Why does he want this boatman to come up to support him? Could it be that he can't even support a boat? A Jiang Dawang doesn't even have a boat. It’s really a toad/toad with long hair, so weird.” He was so curious in his heart, his eyes were drawn by the situation behind him, and he saw that Bai Fu, who was knocked into the water by him with the wine jar earlier, emerged from the water. He turned his head and came out, spit out a mouthful of water, and then responded to the young man, "Don't panic, fifth master, the villain will come up soon."

Seeing that Zhouzi was safe, the young man thought he was relieved in both places, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just won't leave the little thief who was fishing, everything is easy to talk about."

Seeing that Bai Fu had already stretched half his body into the cabin, the boy said to himself: "Zhouzi doesn't know martial arts, but he can puncture the boat; that evil spirit is very good at martial arts, but he doesn't know how to swim. He is in a mess. What are you afraid he will do?" Teach this boatman to climb up, and the two of them must be chasing after me, why not take advantage of this opportunity to throw both of them into the river, so that I can escape." Thinking like this, the plan immediately came to the fore. Come.The boy threw the thin fishing rod into the water, and the thin bamboo was hollow, sinking and floating on the water.Standing on the bow of the boat, the young man saw that the boy was advancing instead of fleeing, he immediately drew his bow like a full moon, and flew out with an arrow.

The young man kicked two feet one after another, hooking the two wine jars back and forth, surrounded by the sound of the wind, and kicked in the direction of the arrow, but he pointed his toes, flew and landed on the bamboo pole with one foot, as light as a dragonfly resting on it.Seeing that his lightness kung fu is so good that he can land on the water with a bamboo pole, the young man couldn't help applauding secretly.

When the arrow hit the first wine jar, it exploded with a crisp cracking sound, and the wine splashed like flying beads and jade, and the aroma of the wine immediately dispersed with the wind.The arrow shot through the wine rain and hit the rear wine jar head-on.There was a crisp bang, the arrow's strength remained undiminished, and the second wine jar burst open.The two wine jars seemed to explode at the same time, with a crisp sound, the broken porcelain splashed, and the wine splashed like rain, splashing down on the river, causing waves.

The boy also knew in his heart that the two wine jars could not stop the young man's arrow, so he could only slow down the momentum and made preparations earlier.Seeing the arrow coming towards the door, his legs that were on the fishing rod immediately bent slightly, and with the force of the fall, he stepped on the fishing rod into the river water, while his upper body bent backwards, and the arrow flew past the tip of his nose. past.

The tiptoes were still holding on to the fishing rod firmly. When the fishing rod sank and raised again, the boy jumped up with his strength, and the river water was dripping on his boots, looking at the young man jumping on the boat.

This time the rabbit rose and fell, and Bai Fu, who was holding on to the side of the boat, also stared straight at him.

Knowing that the boy must be looking at the boat coming down, the young man sneered in his heart, and said to himself: "Before you wanted to escape, and if you were not sure, you were allowed to escape, but now you are looking at the knife's edge, and you can still walk on this boat." Is it?" Immediately he drew out his saber, and said with a sneer, "There is no way to hell, you come to cast it, no wonder I am." With a flash of green light, the treasured saber slashed at the boy head-on.The momentum of the saber was fierce, as if a thousand-jun Taishan was pressing down on the top, and the wind of the saber made people's faces faintly ache.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't the boat that the boy landed on, but Bai Fu's head.

Stepping on the top of Bai Fu's head, the servant smiled slightly and made a heavy weight.Bai Fu only felt that there was a big mountain made of copper on the top, and his neck was like an iron pestle. He wanted to nail it into his chest, but when he let go of his hand, he was trampled into the river by the boy.

The blade was approaching, there was a wind and thunder, the servant couldn't dodge it, he looked straight back, but raised his hand unconsciously.

Unable to stand any longer, the boy simply looked at the river and fell to the ground.The light of the knife passed by, cut off a piece of the servant boy's sleeve, and fell leisurely into the cabin.

The river water splashed and splashed in the cabin.The boy frowned and moved away.

Standing in the boat, not knowing the situation in the water, the young man was about to reach out to call Bai Fu, when suddenly he heard a crisp voice from under the boat: "Want to taste the river water from your house?" The young man just approached the bow, then The boy had already boarded the side of the boat, flipped his wrist, and capsized the boat.

What the boy originally thought was that he would suffer a loss if he fought hand to hand on the boat, and he knew both water and martial arts, so he was bound to be stronger than these two in the water, so he came up with this idea to divide and break them, but he was afraid that the young man would see through him The intention of sneaking into the water was to perform such acrobatics before, pretending to watch the boat get on and off, but actually stepped Bai Fu into the water and capsized the boy's boat.

The sound of water is exciting.Unexpectedly, when the ship moved, the young man saw through the boy's tricks, stepped on the bow of the ship, flipped up in the air, his clothes flying.When the feet landed again, they stepped on the belly of the boat covered with greasy moss.

When the boy was standing still on the swaying belly of the boat, Bai Fu was choking on the water and emerging from the surface of the river, while the boy had already swam far away, and he was about to reach his boat when he stretched out his hand.While watching the boat climb up, the young man looked back at the situation behind him, seeing that the plan failed, he didn't throw the young man into the water, he was like a drowned chicken like a boatman, he couldn't help sighing and was extremely disappointed.

Just at this time, a sharp whistle went straight up to the sky, startling a pool of gulls and herons in the reed leaves.The boy was startled by the sudden sound of the whistle, squinting his eyes carefully, he saw Bai Fu grasping the upturned belly of the boat and spitting out a bone whistle from his mouth.

The boy didn't know what the whistle meant, but the young man knew it very well, he couldn't help being sullen, and scolded Bai Fu: "Whispering? It's just a capsized boat."

"Fifth Master, if you don't call other masters, why don't you let him go." Bai Fu pouted at the young servant.

The young man laughed back in anger, and said in his heart: "The brothers are separated by a long distance, even if you ride Yufeng, you will not be able to catch this little thief in time." But he didn't want to talk to Bai Fuluo, he looked around, wanting to find something suitable Weapons, stopped the boy again, but found that all the bows and arrows had not entered the river, so he had to shake his head again and again.

The boy had already boarded his own boat, and when he heard Zhouzi's words, he laughed loudly: "Even if you call other people, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch me." , raised an eyebrow and made a face at them.

Hearing the young servant's arrogance, the young man had no time to take care of it when he was at a loss what to do. All he thought about was how to turn the boat under his feet.After thinking about it, he made a decisive decision, only put his foot on the side of the belly of the boat near the bow, jumped up, fell straight down, pressed the bow into the river, and the stern of the boat flew out of the water in response to the momentum, dripping a curtain of water.The young man clasped the stern of the boat with his hands, and took advantage of the momentum to fly up.A boat turned over for him unexpectedly.

Pushing his palm on the ship's side, the boy fell into the flooded cabin and stabilized his heels.

"Good skill!" The young man watched the excitement, clapped his hands with the wine jar between his arms, "No more delay, I'm going!" Went ashore, and disappeared in the evening smoke in an instant.

Bai Fu snorted and looked at the boat crawling, and suddenly the boy disappeared, so he couldn't help asking the young man, "Will Fifth Master stop chasing him?"

The young man sneered, shook his head and said, "Even if you measure him, you won't be able to escape."

Bai Fu climbed into the boat and rowed back according to the boy's instructions.Before half a stick of incense arrived, the two of them suddenly heard a call from afar: "Fifth Brother, are you all right?"

A fishing boat was approaching the two of them, and the sound of the oars being shaken could be heard.

The young man responded with a smile: "I've made my third brother worry, my younger brother is fine."

The visitor was covered in gray clothes, with beards and beards like hedgehogs and halberds, standing on the bow of the boat, with two strange eyes wide open, it was Xu Qing, the mountain rat who had been worshiped by Lujiazhuang and Lu Yuanwai on the empty island, and The one on the small boat is Chinchilla Bai Yutang.

"Since there is nothing wrong, the fifth brother blows the whistle to call me, why?"

Bai Yutang glanced at Bai Fu, and Bai Fu hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the future.

Xu Qing said: "This guy is a cunning person, he should have learned a lesson - I will send someone ashore to search."

Bai Yutang waved his hand and said, "Third brother, don't startle the snake."

Xu Qing asked, "Fifth Brother, do you have any good plans?"

Bai Yutang said: "Go back to the village first and lead the two yellow dogs, I'll make up my own mind." After saying that, he stretched out his hands and lay a piece of brown cloth on them.

Bai Fu was startled and said, "Is this from that fellow?"

Bai Yutang didn't answer, but just ordered Bai Fu to row the boat back to the empty island.

Bai Yutang's boat was ahead, and Xu Qing's fishing boat had to turn around, so he couldn't catch up with the boat.

The boat sailed for a while, Bai Yutang was about to see where Xu Qing was following, so he turned his head to look.

It's okay not to look, but Bai Yutang cried out in his heart when he looked at it.

It turned out that Xu Qing jumped into the small boat left by the servant.

"Hey, this wine smells so good. I don't know who put it here."

Bai Yutang thought: "This third brother is addicted to alcohol and has a pure heart. He will definitely not be able to hold on to a cabin of fine wine. If the boy puts poison in the wine, the third brother may die."

Just as he was about to call him, he saw Xu Qing picking up the wine jar, holding the bottom of his hand and sighing, "Let me have a taste." As he spoke, he took a big gulp.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang uttered "Third brother, be careful", and his heart was stuck in his throat by that sip of wine.

Xu Qing only felt that although the fine wine entered his throat, it was refreshing and refreshing, but what was the cold and greasy?

His face was like a refined wax gourd, green and yellow for a while.

Bai Yutang said, "Third brother?"

Xu Qing spit out his drink suddenly, seeing the things on the board, his face was red and green intertwined, very exciting.Bai Yutang looked up, and saw a two-inch long white minnow flopping in a pool of wet wine stains on the deck, vigorous and lively, with gleaming silver scales.
