The worst is the next cousin

"This is the waterway map." The parchment was handed over to Mu Shenshang.

"This is the antidote to delay the attack. There are ten pills in total. When the poison occurs every month, eat one pill to temporarily save your life."

"Thank you." Mao Xiaofei gritted his molars tightly, and said with a fake smile.

The old man waved to Shu Tong who was standing in the corner with his sword pressed, "This is my grandson, he will be with you on this trip, and we will meet here again in ten months."

A touch of accident flashed across Shu Tong's stern face, but he soon returned to normal.

They were also carried to the bank of the river by the villain. When they left the town, the three of them were greeted by the people of the villain town.They are mainly for sending Shutong, the girl who gave Shutong purse yesterday came again, she was so pitiful and wiped her tears along the way.

Sitting on that special "boat", a dozen little cross-eyed men raised two oars high into the hands of Mao Xiaofei and Mu Canshang, and each of them picked up one.

The elder stood on the bank and watched them go.

The boat went down the river, and there were green mountains and green trees on both sides, so it was hard to tell where it was.

Shu Tong, who was only three or four years old, was sitting on the side. He didn't need to row the boat, but with one arm on his lap, he looked at the water quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mu Canshang rowed the boat with great posture, and Mao Xiaofei kept up with his rhythm, while looking for words to say to Shu Tong: "Why is the elder your own grandfather, and you still call him the elder?"

After a long while, Shu Tong said indifferently: "It's been called that since I was a child, what's so strange about it."

"I really envy you, you also have a grandfather." Mao Xiaofei sighed.

"Don't you?" Shu Tong turned his face, his little face tensed.

"Yes, I just don't know where it is. Don't be depressed. I'll send you back in a few months. You haven't left here for a long time. Don't you want to go outside?"

A trace of hesitation made Shu Tong look embarrassed, "With my current state, no matter where I go, I will be treated as a monster, right?"

"What's the matter, when we get to town, I'll buy you children's clothes to change into. I have a son. You are about the same height as him now, so I can wear the same clothes for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Xiaofei felt something was wrong. , he leaned forward to paddle, and said embarrassedly: "It's not to take advantage of you, it's just that you're pretending to be a child, so it's not easy to attract attention."

Shu Tong's facial features are very delicate. It's easy to dress up as a child with a different hairstyle and clothes.

"Is that why you want to raise a child?" Mu Canshang said awkwardly.

Mao Xiaofei said: "Children are so cute, they are alive and kicking, clingy and fragile, they cannot live without adults."

Mu Canshang took a deep look at Mao Xiaofei, but didn't speak.

According to the waterway map obtained from Xiaoren Town, and Shu Tong showed them the way, their boat bypassed Elongtan.In the evening, Manjiang is full of intoxicating red lights.

"Sailing another 120 miles to the southwest, you will arrive at a town called Quchi in the west of Qingxi."

"Salt City."

"Yes, almost all the salt sold in Qingxi is dried from Quchi, and there are government offices there. You are a member of Qingxi's royal family, so there are plenty of ways." Shu Tong said slightly mockingly.

"When did I say that I am a member of the royal family?" Mu Canshang said coldly.

"The elders can't be mistaken. There are only two pieces of soft armor you wear in the whole world. They are invulnerable to swords and guns. Many heroes of the world have thought about it. We, the Black Dragon Gang, were also lucky enough to pay homage to one or two of them. Later, they were bought by rich merchants. Probably or Know its whereabouts. The other one is in the hands of Guishou Laosha in Jusha Valley. Guishou Laosha is over fifty years old, so naturally it cannot be that one. And your accent also reveals your identity. We will travel together for ten months, so you better not hide it from me." Shu Tong glanced at Mao Xiaofei intentionally, "The poison on your companion is the unique formula of the Black Dragon Gang, which can dominate the Shangqihe River. It has its own greatness."

Mu Canshang stopped talking, but he showed his arrogance that he didn't want to talk too much with Shu Tong.

Before it was completely dark, the boat sailed into a gloomy section of the river. First there was a strong wind, and then there was heavy rain.In the wind and rain, the boat was swaying, and the Ye Mingzhu rolled on the board of the boat and made a ping-pong sound.

Mao Xiaofei was shaken so that he fell to the ground, and shouted: "Dock to shore, no way, if something falls into the river, it will be completely ruined."

Mu Canshang and Mao Xiaofei supported each other and slid towards the river, while Shutong grabbed the side of the boat with all his might to stand still.

The big waves threw the boat high for a while, and then threw everyone to the side of the boat.

Finally, when the shore was close at hand, the sound of rushing suddenly intensified, caught off guard, Mao Xiaofei slipped on the sole of his foot, slumped over the board and slid backwards, he scratched around and only caught a piece of gold. It’s useless, there is no place to put strength on the boat. It’s not so much a boat as it is a piece of driftwood drifting with the current on the water. Now this piece of driftwood is involuntarily carried by the waves and is farther away from the shore.

"Shutong!"

When Mu Canshang heard Mao Xiaofei's scream, he just staggered his feet, propped them up with the oars, and managed to stand still.

Shu Tong's small body was thrown out directly.

Mao Xiaofei rushed forward to grab his hand, the upper body was thrown out of the boat by inertia, and the lower half was also sliding out uncontrollably.

"Don't let go!" Mao Xiaofei shouted.

The rain washed on Mao Xiaofei's face, Shu Tong was pale in his eyes, and he couldn't grasp his hand with his small hands.

"Hurry up! Hold on!" Mu Canshang's voice came.

The hull of the boat suddenly changed its tilt direction, Mao Xiaofei's knee was on the side of the boat, but now he was thrown back, and the gold, silver and jewels piled up on the boat were scattered all over the boat.

Mu Canshang took a step and slid one step at a time. He was about to reach Mao Xiaofei, but he slid back in the direction of the ship's bump.

Following the slanted hull, Shu Tong was hugged by Mao Xiaofei, and the two of them rolled on the plank as the boat rose and fell.

Mao Xiaofei got up with great difficulty, Shu Tong was shocked, his whole face was very pale.

"It's all right." Mao Xiaofei patted him on the back reassuringly, but he didn't dare to get up, the boat was still floating with the water, and the sound of thunder-like water was overwhelming from all directions.As the rain poured on his body, the freezing temperature made Mao Xiaofei's teeth chatter, and every joint ached.

"Mu Canshang!" He yelled, stretched out his hand to grab the ankle of Mu Canshang who slipped and fell on the board of the boat not far away, and grabbed his leg along the ankle until he reached Mu Canshang's hand, Mu Canshang Shenshang sat up, his face turning blue from the cold.

"I'm fine." Mu Shenshang tremblingly said.

His voice was not low, but it was quickly swallowed by the wind and waves.The three of them were a little panicked, the sky was gloomy, and looking around, they couldn't see a glimmer of light except for the weeds swaying like ghosts and ghosts.The only light source was on their boat, and the light from the night pearl illuminated three faces that looked like blue or white ghosts.

"No, there seems to be a whirlpool." Shu Tong shouted.

Just now the boat was spinning with the water, at first the speed was very slow, but now it speeds up, obviously being brought into the circle of influence of the vortex.

"I don't want anything, I don't need anything, go ashore!" It's better to lose money than to lose life. Mao Xiaofei grabbed Mu Canshang by the lapel and shouted at him: "Can you swim?"

When Mu Canshang nodded affirmatively, Mao Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Mu Canshang, who led infantry and cavalry, would be a landlubber.

"I won't." Shu Tong struggled to stand up too, one of them lost his footing and swayed with the hull of the boat, bumping his head against Mao Xiaofei's leg, he hugged Mao Xiaofei's leg tightly, with a helpless and bewildered expression on his face.

"It's okay, I'll carry you behind my back!" Mao Xiaofei quickly unbuttoned his coat, his hands were too cold and kept shaking.

"Use this." Shu Tong pulled out his sword and cut open the robe a few times.

Mao Xiaofei squatted down and shouted to Shutong, "Come here, I'll carry you!"

Mu Canshang's tall figure sat, until Mao Xiaofei picked up the Shutong on his back, still motionless.

"What's wrong?" Mao Xiaofei sensed that something was wrong. Mu Canshang kept staring at the vortex, and the boat turned faster and faster. Mu Canshang sat on the board and was thrown from side to side for a while. He grabbed the hand on the side of the boat. Bleeding in several places.

"Are you fucking still thinking about the money?" Mao Xiaofei suddenly came back to his senses and yelled at Mu Canshang in disbelief, "Don't think about it! You will only sink to the bottom of the river with them, so get ashore quickly. Money is more important than life." Don't you think it's important? Are you a fool!"

Mu Shenshang didn't move, Mao Xiaofei stood up with the Shutong on his back, he didn't dare to straighten his back, his feet were far apart, staggered and swayed with the boat, but he didn't fall again, he kicked Mu Shen Shang kicked, stood in front of him, lowered his body and slapped Mu Canshang's face forcefully, "Go into the water!"

"Let's go." Finally, Mu Canshang spoke.

This sentence almost didn't kill Mao Xiaofei, his expression changed, and he shouted: "Are you crazy? Get into the water!" Mao Xiaofei stretched out his hand to push Mu Canshang, just when he was about to reach the sleeve of Mu Canshang's robe At that moment, Mu Canshang grabbed Mao Xiaofei's wrist, pressed the back of the man's head, and kissed him frantically and fiercely.

For a moment, Mao Xiaofei's mind was blank.

When they parted, his face was red and hot, and he only had time to curse: "You fucking..."

Mu Canshang's deep eyes stared at him quietly for a moment, then dragged Mao Xiaofei to jump off the boat.

In the fierce and turbulent water waves, even Mao Xiaofei, who bathed in the river since he was a child and enjoyed swimming by jumping off the bridge, felt involuntary and unable to control his direction at all.

A strong arm supported Mao Xiaofei's waist, and that arm always kept a certain distance to bring Mao Xiaofei's body in one direction. Once Mao Xiaofei deviated from the direction, that hand would push him forward.

In the haste, Mao Xiaofei choked on several saliva, it was dark and cold that he had never experienced before, the river water cut every inch of his skin like a catastrophe, it was so cold that it was difficult to breathe.

Shu Tong hugged Mao Xiaofei's neck tightly.

Pushing away from Mao Xiaofei, he broke through the water and saw the river bank not far away, he only needed to push harder.

"Hold on!" Shu Tong's voice rang close to Mao Xiaofei's ear.

Mao Xiaofei's knees were in severe pain, he pushed away with both hands, and swam desperately to the shore with the momentum of the water waves, taking every breath very slowly until his feet touched the soft river bed.

"Here, don't worry about me, Mu Canshang, how are you doing?" Mao Xiaofei staggered and almost crawled up the river bank. He untied the Shu tube and turned around to find that there was no one behind him.

The arm that had been following him had already left halfway.

"He's still in the river, he won't give up the boat treasure." Shu Tong was shivering from the cold, sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, gasping for breath.

Mao Xiaofei stood up trembling all over, threw all the rags on the ground suddenly, and cursed fiercely: "Fuck!"

The shaky figure stepped into the water again.

"You have promised the elders that at least one person will survive!" Shu Tong grabbed Mao Xiaofei's robe.

Mao Xiaofei lowered his head, his lips were blue from the cold, Shu Tong's heart trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't help letting go of his hand.

"This promise was made by us together. It is not fulfilled by one person. Don't worry, you have found the right donor this time. He is the son of Qingxi's Mu family, and he will never break his promise." Mao Xiaofei said gently. Patted the top of his head gently, "Good boy, wait here."

A splash of water splashed all over Shutong's face. In front of the vast and broad river, it was almost impossible to see people when entering the water.Shu Tong could only see the boat about 20 meters away from the river bank, spinning helplessly in the water.

A shocking shout resounded from the sky and the earth, like the last wail of a dying person.

Passing through the bone-chilling water, Mao Xiaofei grabbed the other side of the boat. When that hand appeared on the side of the boat, half of his body was soaked in the water. Mu Canshang, who was leaning on the side of the boat for a rest, saw a pale and unspeakable face Grinning and appearing on the other side of the boat.

"Are you fucking crazy..." Mu Shenshang's eye circles were red, and a hot sentence was stuck in his throat.

"Since we are on the same road, if you are crazy, let's go crazy together. If you want to sink, let's sink together." Through the not-so-narrow hull, Mao Xiaofei stared deeply at this man. The moment he got into the water, what he thought of was that in the stone room, Mu Canshang was beating the walls everywhere, trying to find a passage, and persisting until the last moment, when the mechanism suddenly appeared.Regardless of whether Mu Canshang was trying to save him or himself, he had saved him three times.

In this life, Mao Xiaofei has had many near-death moments, being chased by dogs, beaten by people, and teased by fate. Every time, he was alone, and he understood the feeling of being helpless and waiting for death better than anyone else.

"I really died because of the treasure on this boat. If I bring it to the ground, I will be a rich man in my next life." Mao Xiaofei laughed until tears came out.

The vortex spins faster and faster.

Mu Canshang suddenly fell downwards.

Mao Xiaofei became flustered, and as soon as he uttered the word "Mu", his feet were grabbed. Mu Canshang, who emerged from the bottom of the water, hugged Mao Xiaofei's waist. Hold on to the side of the boat.

No one spoke, the heavy rain made people dizzy, maybe it was dizziness, this handsome face so close at hand aroused a strange feeling in Mao Xiaofei's heart, he seemed to have not taken over Mu Canshang properly when he was awake kiss.

Mu Canshang's eyes fell on Mao Xiaofei's lips.

The tacit understanding between each other reached the peak, they hugged the only body in front of them with one hand, chest to chest, lips joined together, but the teeth collided with each other when they were thrown by the water waves, Mao Xiaofei's mouth was full of blood when they separated.

"Damn, are you a dog? Are you kissing or biting!" Mao Xiaofei said numbly, and Mu Canshang was not much better.

Mu Canshang's eyes lit up, and it was difficult for them to hold each other tightly at this moment. Mu Canshang pushed Mao Xiaofei's butt and let him get on the boat first.

In the end, both hands and feet were paralyzed on the boat, swaying with the water waves, head to head, Mao Xiaofei turned his face to look at Mu Canshang, the perfect profile line made him unable to bear to stick to it again.

The boat was not shaking violently in the water, so Mao Xiaofei tried his best to lie on top of Mu Canshang.

Mu Canshang hugged Mao Xiaofei's waist with both hands.

The two watched for a while, then leaned together and kissed for a while.

The water shook violently, throwing the boat up high, Mu Canshang grabbed Mao Xiaofei's hand tightly, and Mao Xiaofei also held his hand tightly, the moment the boat fell, Mu Canshang suddenly raised his head, and pushed Mao Xiaofei down. In his arms, his cold lips wiped against Mao Xiaofei's forehead.

The hull of the ship fell, and the gold, silver and jewels loaded on the ship rained down on the two of them. Mu Canshang turned over and pressed Mao Xiaofei below.

"Is it going to sink!" Mao Xiaofei shouted tremblingly, almost deafening Mu Canshang's ears.

Mu Canshang couldn't help but hold Mao Xiaofei's face with one hand, grabbing the already thin air even more deeply. During the deep kiss, Mao Xiaofei didn't care about the pain in the head. He could only feel the temperature of the person on his body. This trace of warmth, like a spark of fire, lights up the extremely dark night in front of you.
