"Brother Xiao Su!" Chu Wu handed Chu Liu to Mou Jianchun, jumped up and followed Su Shui towards the bow of the boat.

The wind and rain were blowing on the river, and the fishing boat was bumpy and ups and downs. Chu Wu staggered forward leaning against the side of the boat, his eyes barely open. He found the anchor by feeling and pulled it several times without pulling it, shouting and trying hard.A pair of hands at the side reached out to pull together with him, Su Shui came to meet him when the sail was turned, and the two of them drew up the anchor together.

The fishing boat went up and down with the waves, and had vaguely left the shore of Jiangxin Island for a long time, and finally moved.

Su Shui looked at the wind direction of the boat, and went to pull the sail again.Chu Wu followed closely beside him, looked at him for a while, looked at Jiangxin Island which was gradually moving away, and turned around suddenly to look at the big boat of Zhong's family.I couldn't see clearly in the wind and rain, but I always felt that there seemed to be two puffs of smoke coming from the gloomy big ship, and some people's voices sounded indistinctly.

Su Shui pulled him back to the cabin, and he got out again to steer the stern.

The fifth day of the first day was about to drill out, and Mou Jianchun threw over a crying sixth day, and stared at Zhong Chongtang to give him his pulse without looking up.The fifth day of the fifth day had to pick up the sixth day, the boat was bumped like this, fearing that he would bump into it alone and damage it, so he wrapped it in oilcloth and found a few belts to tie it in front of his body.Another large piece of tarpaulin was pulled to the stern of the boat, trying to shield Su Shuichao from the wind and rain.

When he came out, Chu Liu stopped crying, lay on his shoulders and sipped, and was blown by the wind with rain on his face, so he just raised his face and squinted his eyes to catch the rain.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he pressed him back into his arms, and walked forward with two slippery steps.

"You guys, go back!" Su Shuichao shouted intermittently in the wind and rain, and it didn't sound like he was stuttering.

Chu Wu suddenly looked up, and besides Su Shuichao in front of the rudder, there was also a figure standing nearby, nailed to the board of the ship as if made of copper cast iron, motionless.On the fifth day of Chu, he recognized him just by looking at his body shape. Zhong Boyou snatched the fishing boat in such a strong wind and waves.

Chu Wu was so frightened that he backed away one after another, his feet slipped, and he sat down with a puff in his arms.

Zhong Boyou still stood there, raised his head slightly, and looked at the cabin.On the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, I looked up carefully. Aunt Wei, who had appeared on the island once before, was standing firmly on a high place, holding a pair of thick-backed short knives, and a confident smile hung on her broad face, as if she hadn't been caught by the wind and rain. Drenched, I didn't stand on the fishing boat thrown by the waves, I just walked here to meet visitors.

"Blow up my Zhong family's boat, rob my Zhong family's thieves, and cover up the remnants of the Three Corpses..." Zhong Boyou turned his hand and raised his knife straight at Wei Yu, shouting: "Is your Hou family going to fall into evil ways!"

"Who, who blew it up, evidence, evidence..." Su Shui refuted vigorously as he steered the helm.

"Shut up, Xiao Su." Wei Yu said unhurriedly, his voice was soft but had a sense of majesty, Su Shui faced a wrinkled face and stopped talking.Wei Wei smiled at Zhong Boyou, and said: "The Patriarch of the Zhong family came to inquire about the crime in person, and he really didn't dare to do it. The wind and rain are so violent that the waves are so violent that they can't even hit a flint. How can they blow up the ship? Who has the ability of a fairy? Does Patriarch Zhong think too highly of us? Listen to the sound of thunder one after another, don't let the thunder strike it?"

"What nonsense!"

"I sincerely help Patriarch Zhong to find out the truth. It's fine if Patriarch Zhong refuses to believe it. Why speak evil words?"

"As long as you have a lot of tongue, this ship and the three people on this ship, as long as they reach the boundary of your Marquis Mansion, it will be ironclad evidence. Let's see how your Marquis Mansion can block the mouths of the people in the world!" Zhong Boyou said sharply.

"Look, Patriarch Zhong is in a hurry. We didn't let this boat go. It's stormy and stormy. How can such a small boat hold its anchor? Let Patriarch Zhong see for himself. , this boat drifted along with the current, and didn’t go to our north of Wei. If it’s really on the side of Weibei, but Patriarch Zhong is on board, wouldn’t it be worse than a pig or a dog if you’re not careful?” Wei Wei said softly, but he said Not forgiving.

"That's right, it's windy and rainy now, and I don't know if it's in Weinan or Weibei..." Before Zhong Boyou could finish his sentence, he took a step forward, and the sword fell with his hand, piercing a curtain of rain and hitting the fifth day and the sixth day. cut off. "...Let me send these evil obstacles to life."

"Ah!" Chu Wu screamed strangely, and rolled aside with Chu Liu in his arms.

"Chong-"

A long and sharp sound of weapons clashing exploded above his head, Wei Yu jumped down in the air, and his two knives held Zhong Boyou's knives.

Without any delay, Wei Xuan stabbed at him with his saber. Zhong Boyou didn't take half a step back, and with a twist in his hand, he knocked Wei Xuan's saber away with two clangs.Wei Wei kicked Chu Wu away on the board of the boat, and still swung his sabers forward, attacking with two swords, and the attack with the two sabers was like another airtight rain curtain.

Zhong Boyou's expression was even more dignified, and he unleashed all his skills. Abandoning the defensive position that Zhong's family's saber technique is best at, he rushed from left to right, looking for a gap, and rushed into Wei Pianli's sword screen, and suddenly broke out, piercing through the air with his sword. The fifth day hits.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, instead of hiding in the cabin, he turned around and rolled towards Su Shui.

Both of the two people in the cabin can only kill at the neck. They can't bring Zhong Boyou in, but they can hide in front of Su Shuichao and jump into the river with him. With his water skills, he can always be picked up again.

"Brother Xiao Su——"

Chu Wu yelled and rushed over, Zhong Boyou chased after him with a sword, Wei Pianyao crossed his swords and held his sword from the side, Zhong Boyou's skill was stronger than hers, and with a shake and a send, he brought her two swords to collide go back.Su Shui turned the rudder suddenly, the fishing boat was on the top of a wave, the hull tilted suddenly, and a large splash of water rushed over.Zhong Boyou and Wei Pianle turned sideways at the same time, all moves and body skills were out of shape, and they only fought indiscriminately between the rain and the river.

Su Shui grabbed Chu Wu who almost slipped out with one hand, and pulled the cloth belt on his shoulder to pull him back to his side.

He and Chu Liu in his arms both opened their eyes wide and looked at the two figures with long knives and short knives flying around in the wind and rain. Fight but don't cry.

Zhong Boyou rushed towards them again in a flash, Wei Pianliu chased after him with two swords, Zhong Boyou suddenly folded, went out backwards and rushed straight to the cabin.Wei Pianlu was a step too late when she was about to turn around.Chu Wu yelled loudly, jumped up and held the tiller with Su Shuichao, and almost broke the hull of the boat. The fishing boat was pushed by a pile of waves higher than one pile and turned around on the river.Zhongbo's friend was in mid-air, but he landed not in the cabin but on the side of the ship.

Wei Pianliu followed closely, slashing with both knives, Zhong Boyou swung his saber, but Wei Pianliu didn't resist, just chased him with both knives and locked them tightly, peeking at the boat turning again, shouted With a sound, following the turn, he slammed forward, took Zhong Boyou's knife and flew out of the ship's side with Zhong Boyou's knife, and jumped onto the water.

Zhong Boyou still wanted to turn over and go back to the boat, but he didn't twitch when he drew the knife, and wanted to drop the knife. Swallowed by the waves.

"Brother Xiao Su! What should I do?" Chu Wu asked anxiously while holding Su Shui Chao tightly so that he would not be thrown off the boat.

"No, it's okay!" Su Shuichao also said anxiously: "Wei, Mrs. Wei is good at water, she, she goes into the water, too, she is afraid that the Patriarch of the Zhong family will die here, so it's hard to explain!"

"Then are they still coming up?"

"No, no, take, take back to Jiangxin Island."

"Oh..." Chu Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Chu Liu, who was quite energetic except for being drenched through, waving his small hands to pat him.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he held down his hand and looked around to see that the fishing boat was going down the river. He could only see the wind and rain but no shadow of the boat. The shadow of the big boat covered by dark clouds for several days finally did not catch up. "Brother Xiao Su, did you blow up their boat?"

"Thunder, thunderbolt!" Su Shui said.

"Amazing!"

"Jiao, Boss Jiao did it."

"Boss Jiao, is he also from your Houfu?"

"No, it's not." Su Shuichao became anxious again as he spoke, holding the rudder with one hand, pointing into the cabin with the other, and shouted: "You guys, go back!"

"Then where are we going? Isn't it going to Weibei?" Chu Wu took two steps with Chu Liu in his arms, and couldn't help but turn around and ask again.

"... Dingbo Lake." Su Shui turned his head to look at the water surface, not at him.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I didn't ask any more questions. I ran over and put an oilcloth on him. Even though he was already covered in water, I still put it on him.Su Shuichao waved his hand and told him to go quickly, Chuwu carried Chuliu back to the cabin, and as soon as he lifted the tarpaulin, he saw Zhong Chongtang and Mou Jianchun sitting side by side, looking up.

"Mr. Chongtang!" Chu Wu threw himself into his arms and hugged him, shouting, "Let's go, leave Jiangxin Island!"

"Got it, got it." Zhong Chongtang raised his hand and rubbed his head, then Chu Liu's head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wipe quickly, it's all soaked."

Chu Wu smiled and sat aside, pulled the cloth sheet and wiped Chu Liu's head and face dry before wiping himself. He asked, "Mr. Chongtang, where is Dingbo Lake? Brother Xiao Su said we should go there, and I I still want to ask, but he is busy with sailing, so he is not happy to tell me."

"Dingbo Lake..." Zhong Chongtang tilted his head to think for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "It's been hard for Xiao Su, and it's even more difficult for Su to find such a place."

"He's so embarrassing! If he didn't have too many thoughts and thoughts, he wouldn't be hopeless." Mou Jianchun said.

"What's the matter?" Chu Wu and Chu Liu sat cross-legged together, looking up at Zhong Chongtang.

"Dingbo Lake was not a lake at first, but a valley in the mountains. The mountain turned a sharp bend near the bank of the Wei River, the water surface narrowed, and the wind was high and the waves were violent. In the old years, the Wei River was flooded, and the embankment on the south bank was the heaviest. A waterway was blown up, and the valleys in the mountains became lakes, and the Weishui flowed into the lake to create a riverway and flow into it from the lower reaches." Zhong Chongtang said.

"Is this Dingbo Lake?" Chu Wu asked.

"Well, Dingbo Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the wind is calm and the sea is calm, and there is no one in charge. The fishermen and people affected by the disaster on both sides gather here. The land belongs to Weibei, but most of the people who live on the lake are from Weinan. The Hou Mansion doesn't care. The Zhong family can't control it, it's a land without an owner." Zhong Chongtang said.

"Someone is in charge, Jiao Chongwang is now the King of the Mountain there." Mou Jianchun said.

"Boss Jiao? He made a thunderbolt for brother Su and blew up Zhong's big boat!" Chu Wu said.

"It turned out to be him," Zhong Chongtang said with a smile, "He used to explode the mountain to open mines, but I dragged him to the north bank to open waterways. He almost died in the flood, and he has always hated me. Now he has become the person in charge Boss Jiao, my lord has a lot of them, so he probably won't blame me."

"Sit, sit still!" Suddenly Su Shui shouted outside the cabin.

On the fifth day of the fifth day, and on the sixth day, Mou Jianchun was holding on to Zhong Chongtang. The four of them were close together, and felt the fishing boat rise and fall violently. They all bumped up and down together, then slammed to one side, and then rolled back again. .I don't know what kind of rapids it entered. Waves crashed on the bulkhead, and some poured in.The four of them just grabbed each other, bumped away and grabbed again, Chu Liu burst into tears at the end.
