cloudless sky

Chu Wu wiped away his tears, and took the fisherman's body out of the cabin and returned it to his wife. He had already replaced the wrapped fishing net with an oilcloth, tied it up as best he could, dragged it to the side of the boat and lowered it slowly.

The fisherman's wife came to pick her up with her two children, and there were two men on the fishing boat who wanted to come down to help, Zhongming Zhongguang stared at him not to let her approach, fearing something strange.Su Shuichao didn't dare to let them approach easily, but just stared at the fisherman's wife.The fisherman's wife left the two children on the shore, waded to the front, took the corpse from the side of the boat, and carried it on her shoulders.

"On the boat, is that Zhong Daxia?" the fisherman's wife asked with a sob.

"Hmm." Chu Wu choked up and nodded.

"My two children were rescued by Zhong Daxia. They are very stupid. They don't know how to speak, but cry." The fisherman's wife cried intermittently, pointing to the two children on the shore, the older one The boy held the younger girl by the hand and stood there crying until he became hoarse.The fisherman's wife turned her head and said with tears on her face: "My husband has always wanted to repay Zhong Daxia, and even sent fish to Zhong's house several times, but he didn't see Zhong Daxia. You said he helped Zhong Daxia Hero, he got his wish."

The fifth day took the sixth day by the hand, and together they kowtowed to the corpse on the fisherman's wife's back.

"Get up, get up," the fisherman's wife glanced at the corpse, and said in a low voice, "They said that Hero Zhong joined the Three Corpses and became a bad person. I don't believe it. Hero Zhong must have been wronged. He has a straightforward temper and will inevitably offend people."

"Auntie, uh—"

Chu Wuquan didn't expect that she could protect Zhong Chongtang so wholeheartedly, and burst into tears as if seeing a relative, as if the grievances of the past few days poured out.

Seeing him crying miserably on the sixth day of the lunar new year, she stopped crying and hugged his legs and slapped him one after another.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you child was quite sensible just now, why did you suddenly cry like my two silly children," the fisherman's wife followed him to tears, and coaxed him, stroking him from her arms. He came out with a bag of food and threw it into the side of the boat, saying: "Even a great hero has trouble, how can a person live without ups and downs? Don't cry, Zhong Daxia is not an ordinary person. Get well...you can keep this bag of bean cakes and fish meat, and I have nothing else, I, I still have two mouths waiting to eat."

"En! Thank you, auntie." Chu Wu put away her tears, and picked up the bag of food with great care.

"If, if you can pass safely this time, remember to leave the boat to me, and I'll ask someone to pick it up. It's not a good boat, it's old, but it's still my own boat." The fisherman's wife looked back and forth. This fishing boat began to cry again.

"Well! I remember!" Chu Wu nodded heavily.

Suddenly remembered the jade that Zhong Chongtang gave to him, pulled it out of the scabbard, and asked him to give it to the fisherman as a boat fee, quickly rummaged to find it, and handed it to the fisherman's wife.The fisherman's wife refused to accept it, Chu Wu insisted that it was the boat money, and raised her hand to throw it over, but she had no choice but to reach out and catch it.

Zhongming had already been urging repeatedly on Jiangxin Island, and the fisherman's wife said goodbye to Chu Wu, and walked back to the island with difficulty, carrying her body on her back.

Zhong Ming and Zhong Guang inspected it first, and Su Shuichao inspected it again. After confirming that it was the fisherman's body, he let her go. The two children staggered back to another fishing boat with her, howling all the way.

Chuwu led Chuliu back to the cabin, and she didn't feel scared when she went out this time, but she was tired from crying and sat down weakly.

Chu Liu nestled in his arms, stretched out her little hand to wipe his face.Lu Wu was hurt by his patting, so he simply grabbed his satin clothes and wiped his face.Chu Liu grunted unhappily, Chu Wu poked his nose and said, "Okay, your clothes are no cleaner than my face, how many places have you crawled over?"

"Chu Wu," Zhong Chongtang looked at the two of them from the side, and just heard them talking outside intermittently, trying to comfort Chu Wu, but he couldn't find the right words to speak. "...There are good and bad, good and evil in the world, but neither is good or evil. If you are not a good person, you will definitely beat the bad people, and it is not that if you don't beat the bad people, you are not a good person."

"I understand." Chu Wu turned his head to look at him, quite disgusted that he thought he was really a stupid child.

"Then you also need to know that doing good is more difficult than doing evil. You can only discipline yourself but not others. Besides, good people have to be stronger than bad people. They have more means, and sometimes they are not bright means..." Zhong Chongtang said with a wry smile. : "I have to teach you badly again. Don't be so hard on yourself. The fisherman died tragically under the poison of Tan Zhonglu. I was wrong and asked you to deliver the medicine. I don't blame anyone for falling into this situation." , I only blame myself for my lack of ability.”

"What about me? What about the sixth day? We are here too, is it because we are not capable?" Chu Wuyuan looked at him with his eyes open, wondering.

"It's not that reason, it's..." Zhong Chongtang paused, speaking with difficulty.

"Mr. Chongtang, you can't take everything on yourself. You are a hero, but a hero is not a living god. You don't hold grudges, and you don't want me to hold grudges, but, but, I just blame them..." Chu Wu couldn't go on talking, and stared at the board of the ship with a straight face.

Zhong Chongtang sighed slightly, beckoned to him, and said, "Come here." Chu Wu let go of Chu Liu and moved over, Chu Liu crawled behind him and moved over, waited for him to sit down next to Zhong Chongtang, and then climbed onto his lap Nest into his arms.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he knocked on his head and said, "Follower." Zhong Chongtang smiled and asked, "Aren't you scolding yourself too?"

"Mr. Chongtang!" Chuwu said in a huff.

"Okay, okay," Zhong Chongtang also tapped his head with his knuckles, and said, "Don't be discouraged, forbearance for a while is to kill the general and come back later. The so-called safety and danger come with misfortune and good fortune. This time, as long as we can In the past, it was a different story.”

"Can we go there?" Chu Wu asked.

"Look, let's pass." Zhong Chongtang said with a smile.

"Then you take the medicine, take all the medicine." Chu Wu said, taking out the golden pill left by Su Shuichao, and stuffing it into his hand.Zhong Chongtang shook his head and said: "I always feel that this golden elixir is not suitable for the disease, you go and bring me the snake medicine taken internally."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Chu Wu put aside Chu Liu, knelt down in front of him and stared at him carefully.

"Woo!" Chu Liu lay on the side and was unhappy.

"It's nothing." Zhong Chongtang put a sticker on the bulkhead, and said, "After taking these medicines back and forth, the pain doesn't hurt much, it's just a little cold."

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he realized that he was shaking slightly, and reached out to grab his hand, feeling like he was holding a piece of ice.Then he raised his hand to touch his forehead, it was also cold.Immediately became anxious, took the medicine to feed him, pulled the original bedding in the cabin and the thin quilt brought by Su Shuichao, all piled on him, surrounded him tightly, wrapped him tightly, and hugged himself on the outermost side .

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, he followed suit, and joined him in spreading his short arms and throwing himself on the quilt.

"The fifth day, the fifth day!" Zhong Chongtang called him buzzingly from inside the bedding, and said, "Don't panic, it's really nothing. The cold comes from the inside, and you let me adjust my breath by myself, rather than being wrapped up like this and holding my breath."

"I'm going to boil hot water! Wipe it with hot water, and the heat will seep in!" Chu Wu jumped up, turned around and drilled out to the stern.

At the stern there is a small clay stove, a pot, and a small bundle of dry firewood covered with an oilcloth. The outer layer was wet in the strong wind and heavy rain, and there are still a few usable sticks in the middle.As soon as he rushed out of the cabin on the fifth day of the lunar new year, two or three figures stood out from the Zhong family's big boat and stared at him from the bow.On the big boat of the Hou's Mansion, two figures also stood up facing each other, their weapons did not move, but they were all in an imposing manner.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I didn't bother to watch them at all, but just carried the pot and griddle to carry firewood, carried the wooden bucket with the rope to get water from the side of the boat, and then ran back and forth to find the flint.

Fortunately, the rain has lightened, with only a few traces drifting obliquely with the wind, and the surface of the river is much calmer.

Chu Wu bowed and knelt in front of the clay stove, started a fire to start the fire, but the firewood could not catch the fire, so Chu Wu lay down and blew hard.Chu Liu also crawled to him and played with him, and the smoke smoky eyes, sat down and rubbed his eyes and cried.Chu Wu finally blew the flames, and took Chu Liu's hand to wipe his face, fearing that he would rub his eyes, but in the end he wiped a few dark finger prints on him, turning his face into a pretty face.

Chu Wu couldn't help but pull his face, and Chu Liu saw a smile on his face, he turned upside down, raised his hands and babbled.

Chu Wu patted him, and was about to fetch some water from the barrel to wipe his face, when he heard someone shouting loudly on Zhong's big boat, and looked up in surprise, only then remembered that the two of them had left the cabin for a long time.

The Zhong family didn't yell at them, Chu Wu was taken aback, and looked in the direction they were pointing and drinking.

Between the long sky and the clear water, in the drizzle, a small boat slowly descended from the upper reaches, with only one sail, smaller than a fishing boat, and it can only sail on the river when the weather is calm.Standing against the wind alone in the bow of the boat, looking past forty years old, his appearance is also scraggy, but he has a refined demeanor.

The man ignored Zhong's family's shouts telling him to step back and circle around. The small boat slowly circled around Jiangxin Island and approached the stern of the fishing boat by rubbing against Zhong's big boat.

Zhongming and Zhongguang became more impolite when they shouted, and each drew their knives out, threatening the man to drive him away if he didn't back away.The boatman was also a little hesitant, and the boat turned sideways and stopped between the Zhong family's big boat and the fishing boat.

Zhong Chongyan was also standing at the bow of the boat, feeling vaguely that the person who came out was not kind, so he clasped his fists and said, "Dare to ask this friend Gao's name? Why didn't you listen to dissuasion and barge in?"

"Mou Jianchun." The man didn't salute, but his words were short but thick, and his tone was even more aggressive: "The Weishui was sealed off to your house? Where did my boat go with the water?"

"Mu... Chou Hua Tuo Mou genius doctor?" Zhong Chongyan suddenly remembered such a number one person, and said anxiously: "You can't go there!"

"You are ugly! You don't care where I go!" Mou Jianchun cursed back, and turned to urge the boatman to go to the fishing boat.

Zhong Chongyan led Zhongming Zhongguang and the three of them jumped off the big boat and landed on the small boat one after another. Not only was it full, but it almost sank.Three gleaming knives were pointed at Mou Jianchun in the shape of "pin", firmly blocking between him and the fishing boat.Shen Weifu and Su Shuichao also jumped off the big boat of the Hou's Mansion, stood on the bow of the fishing boat but could not get closer, Shen Weifu shouted loudly: "Brother Chongyan, Doctor Mou is an expert respected by everyone in the rivers and lakes, are you going to fight him!"

"He was summoned by you? I know you have tricks!" Zhong Chongyan shouted: "As long as he doesn't go to the fishing boat, we must be polite and don't dare to touch him!"

"No one called me. I heard that this man was seriously ill, so he came. The sick man was on the fishing boat, so I went to the fishing boat. It was useless for you to stop me. I just wanted to go." Mou Jianchun said as he stepped out. One step, another step, the boat swayed with the waves, and his chest reached the tip of Zhong Chongyan's knife.

"Brother Chongyan! Even if everyone in your Zhong family is free from illness and pain for the rest of their lives and can't ask Miracle Doctor Mou to kill him, if you really hurt him and kill him, you still have to consider the many people who are waiting for him to save your life! There are some things you can't afford!" Shen Weifu shouted sharply.

Mou Jianchun still took a step forward, Zhong Chongyan turned his wrist slightly, and finally got out of the way so as not to stab him to death.Without stopping a step, Mou Jianchun walked next to him, then walked between Zhongming Zhongguang and the two of them, strode into the water, climbed onto the side of the fishing boat, jumped onto the deck, stood up wetly, and looked at the deck On the two fire children.

"Where is Zhong Chongtang? Is he dead?" Mou Jianchun asked.

He didn't know kung fu, not even light kung fu, but he walked between the three knives without changing his expression.Chu Wu was so tongue-tied that he almost forgot to answer him. He hurriedly pointed to the cabin and shouted: "Yes! No! Mr. Chongtang!"
