floating career

When Wei Yubai walked to the bank of the Zhuliu River, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and he was staring at the slightly rippling lake surface, dazzled intermittently.There were a few startled birdsong in the distance, and felt that the surroundings were too quiet, Wei Yubai strolled to the depths of the reeds, and dragged out a small boat that had been hidden there earlier.The river water soaked up to his calves, and the hem of the white cloth robe became ash like blue smoke after being stained with the color of the water. He obviously didn't care, pushed the boat forward lightly, and then jumped on it by himself.

After paddling a few times, the waterway narrowed, and the roof of the painted boat faintly shone in the sun in front of it.Wei Yubai threw the paddle away, lay down on the boat, and closed his eyes.The small boat was not big at first, it didn't even have a black shed cover, the needle-like sunlight pierced Wei Yubai's eyes through his eyelids, his breathing gradually became steady, as if he was asleep.

The boat lost its helmsman, and gradually approached the painting boat that almost stopped moving along the slow current.The painting boat has two floors, the ceiling is actually covered with colored glaze, the halo is flowing, and the treasure is magnificent. When someone looked out, he happened to see the small boat, and saw a tall young man in white clothes lying peacefully under the sun. Yu Zhoushang couldn't help but let out a "huh".

A young man wearing red arrow sleeves on the boat heard the movement and turned his head to take a look. He was a little startled when he saw this, and smiled for a while.He was already very handsome, but under this smile, there was a faint trace like a small crescent moon on the corner of his mouth, which was indescribably romantic, and the female guest who was close to him couldn't help but blush.

The boy walked to the side of the boat and shouted to Wei Yubai:

"Sleeping like this, aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke? If you don't mind, brother, you might as well go to the little brother's boat to drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue."

Wei Yubai closed his eyes and remained motionless, the small boat was nimble, riding on the force of the water, it gradually drifted away from the big boat.

Seeing this, the young man ordered someone to bring a bundle of rope, and a sharp dagger was tied to one end of the rope. He squinted his eyes and weighed the dagger in his hand, then suddenly threw it out, and the dagger sank into the boat with a click. In the end, as long as the young man pulls out the dagger along the rope with all his strength, there will be nothing to repair the hole, and the boat will definitely enter the water.

Wei Yubai just sat up at this time, he pulled the rope with his backhand, the young man felt a tremendous momentum pulling the rope away, and he couldn't help but walked a few steps forward, at this moment Wei Yubai suddenly let go , the boy recoiled and fell to the ground, the rope in his hand didn't let go, it just cut his skin, bleeding slowly.

The young man was not annoyed, he immediately got up and said to Wei Yubai with a smile:

"You've played enough with your prestige, are you really not going to come up?"

Wei Yubai glanced at him, and suddenly turned over and stepped onto the rope. His clothes fluttered in the breeze on the river, and everyone was dazed, but they saw him follow the rope a few times to the boat, and finally leaped lightly not far from the boy in red. Standing still, these few movements of his are more freehand and clean than the usual light work, and there are already admiration expressions on the faces of people on board.

The boy waited for him to stand still before throwing away the rope in his hand. A maid wanted to come forward to help him bandage the wound on his palm, but she was rejected.

"Brother Tai is very skilled. If Xiaoke and my father hadn't seen Master Shixin use this trick of 'carrying the breeze' in the past, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized your master." He picked up the Taibai bottle and poured a full glass of wine To Wei Yubai. "It is said that Master Shixin has only accepted one disciple in his life. Is Your Excellency 'Bai Ying Han Jiang' Wei Yubai?"

Wei Yubai frowned and took it in one gulp.

"It's just Wei Yubai."

The young man in red clapped his hands, "Wonderful, Mr. Wei's name is known to everyone in the Jianghu. He punishes rape and eliminates evil. He has been fascinated by me for a long time. A man in the rivers and lakes should live as chic and upright as Mr. Wei!" , Fang lives up to his chivalry."

He signaled to the two sides, and the people around immediately retreated to the lower cabin, only a few maidservants brought fruit and wine one after another, and then they saluted and left, and soon there were only the two of them left on the first floor of the boat.

Wei Yubai was not polite, he just sat down and poured wine, and the young man sat down beside him.

"Young Master Wei didn't ask me my name, or did you say that Young Master already knew?"

Wei Yubai drank a cup quickly, and said lightly:

"You are the only son of Chu Xunshan, the owner of Qiuhong Villa, the young master Chu Xiaoyun."

"You really know, so you came to find me on purpose?" Chu Xiaoyun helped him fill up the wine, and she was very happy in her words. "Many people want to see me. They just want to ask me for something, or plan to give me something. Tell me, which one are you?"

Wei Yubai stared blankly at the sparkling river, shook his head for a while and said:

"What are you looking for? I have nothing and I can't give you anything. As for what I want..."

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help showing a kind of melancholy on his face, and then he put down his wine glass heavily, and the skirt of his clothes was splashed half wet with a bang.

"I recognize you only because of the Ying'e jade hook hanging on your waist. It is said that the ancestors of the Chu family used this jade hook to go up to Yunze and go down to avoid floods. This is an ancient artifact that is hard to buy. There are probably not many people in the world who hang it around their waists, so it is not difficult to guess."

"Actually, you want to say it's a pity." Chu Xiaoyun himself sat down and drank a cup, "It would be ridiculous to say that the reason for the prosperity of the Chu family lies in this piece of jade. Why is it just a dead thing? This jade material is only a little older, could it be that the young master still can't handle it anymore?"

Wei Yubai stood up.

"This is your business. I have drunk the wine, so I will leave."

Chu Xiaoyun was startled, and couldn't help reaching out to hook his sleeve.

"Hey, you, you talk too much after drinking, it would be too unfeeling to just leave."

Wei Yubai brushed his hand away sideways.

"Then what do you want?"

"Didn't I just say that, I have admired your name for a long time, but it is a pity that you are hard to find, and now I have finally seen one, how can I just let you go?"

He rolled his eyes, took off the Ying'e jade hook and stuffed it into Wei Yubai's hand.

"If you like it, you can take it, but if you take my things, we can be friends."

Unexpectedly, Wei Yubai pushed it away as soon as he turned his wrist, and he was unwilling to accept the jade hook.

"Qiuhong Villa has a lot of good things. You want to take advantage of it and ask me to help you with something?"

Chu Xiaoyun looked at him for a while, then passed the jade hook again with a solemn expression.

"If you are really that kind of person, it would be a waste of my admiration for you in the past. I don't think I am not qualified to be your friend. This jade hook is indeed not a top-notch good thing in Qiuhong Villa, but the pile of gold Among the broken silver, I like it the most, this is just my sincerity, meeting by chance is fate, why don't you make friends just like this."

The jade hook, which was as clear as a puddle of water, still fell into Wei Yubai's hands. In fact, it was not jade, the tentacles were cold but not hard, and he didn't know what kind of material it was.

"Your method of making friends seems to be a bit of coercion no matter how you look at it."

Chu Xiaoyun was not annoyed when he heard that.

"That's something that can't be helped. Usually, I don't need to open my mouth. Most of the people crowd up like flies. I have lived for 16 years. This is the first time I want to take the initiative to make acquaintance." His eyes lit up. , there was a little more youthful liveliness in the words, "You accept my jade hook, we are friends now, can you tell me how you broke the Kunlun School's seven-man sword array five years ago in the Taihang Mountains of?"

"16 years old, really young."

Wei Yubai just commented like this without thinking, and then sat down again.

"I heard that you didn't draw your sword at all and defeated them with just a branch. Is it true that even grass and trees can be used as sharp weapons if you are a master?" Chu Xiaoyun followed closely.

"It's not like there are no masters like that, but I'm not. The only reason I use a tree branch is because the branch has a peach blossom. One is to surprise the enemy by surprise, and the other is..." Wei Yubai, who is so cold, can't bear to talk about this matter. He couldn't help laughing, "I heard that Wu Daozi among the Kunlun Seven has always suffered from hay fever. Sure enough, after a few strokes, he saw the peach blossoms always swaying in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but mess up his hands and feet, showing me the flaws in the sword formation. .”

Chu Xiaoyun was dumbfounded.

"that is it?"

"that is it."

"...Hahaha," Chu Xiaoyun suddenly burst out laughing, "Brother Wei is indeed a real person, but the rumors in the Jianghu are too exaggerated. Some people say that you defeated them with eight swords. For a long time, I couldn't figure out how a person could hold four swords in one hand."

"This man is not a centipede with full hands, how can he wield eight sharp swords at the same time."

After going back and forth like this, the two talked for a long time.Qiuhong Villa is already very famous. The owner Chu Xunshan inherits his ancestral business and makes a good golden sword. There are few rivals in the world. It's all right, but the heirs of the Chu family are really weak.The old owner of Chu had such a son as Chu Xiaoyun in his forties. Seeing that he was smart and clever, he was spoiled too much. Fortunately, there is Mrs. Chu who can control her heart. Chu Xiaoyun has been walking in the world for two years. I heard that it will break the sky.It's just that after all, he was raised by thousands of venerables, and despite his superficial skills, he was very willful and domineering in his bones, otherwise he would not have pierced Wei Yubai's boat with a dagger to force him to board the boat when he first saw him.

Right now, he felt that the Wei Yubai chat room in front of him was more to his liking than he usually imagined, and he couldn't help but feel more excited about the conversation.When it comes to martial arts, Wei Yubai is a disciple of Master Shixin. Of course there was a trick to win against the Kunlun Seven, but he himself is indeed one of the top masters in the Jianghu. No matter how low-key he usually is, he has only been a teacher for more than ten years The fact that he didn't lose even once is enough to be considered a legend.

"Besides, Luo Rusheng, the flower picker who is the best at disguising, the old head catcher of Six Doors couldn't find him, how did you catch him?"

"I happened to meet Luo Rusheng. Although he is a man, he is the most groomed. Although he was hiding in the crowd pretending to be a coolie on the street that day, he left a small nail on the little finger of his left hand. He was reluctant to clean it. A poor man with filthy clothes and many patches. Han has such nails, and what's even more surprising is that the nails are clean inside, so it's hard not to be suspicious."

He said it easily, but ordinary people don't have that kind of vision. There are many big men doing hard work on the street, and the sour smell on their bodies is often enough to make people choke their noses. Who could have noticed a nail in the wrong eye.
