Silver Moon Halberd

After packing up and having lunch, the three of them rushed to the pier.When they passed by an iron shop, Ye Zhenge and Shen Chuxing each chose a saber; the two of them looked at opposites, but in fact they wanted each other in their hearts, and after ten years of sword training, they gave up as soon as they said they would.Ye Zhenge shakes his fan, dances and writes, while Shen Chuxing doesn't need weapons at all, and specializes in capture, but he is a top expert in lightness kung fu.

The Fengxu Canal runs through the north and the south, and there is an endless stream of boats coming and going. There are also two options for going to Taihe City by water or land.Not to mention detours by land, Gushan Mountain is steep, with steep cliffs everywhere, and it takes ten and a half months to pass through; by water, you need to cross Fengxu, reach the opposite bank in half an hour, and you can see Taihe City Gate in three to five days.

The ferryman stands at the bow of the boat and holds the oars. At the front of the cabin is a family of three. The young wife is holding a two or three-year-old boy in her arms. She has a tiger head and a tiger head, and her eyes are looking straight into the cabin.

I saw Shen Chuxing and Xi Xiu sitting opposite each other in the cabin, with all kinds of snacks at their feet, a broken tea bowl was held by the bottom of the bowl and shaken by Shen Chuxing, then opened the mouth of the bowl and shouted: "Small!"

Xi Xiu didn't bother to look at it, she took a bag of snacks and put it behind her.

Shen Chuxing and Ye Zhenge are picky about "eating" in every possible way, but he has another problem of gambling, betting with food is more distressing to him than money.He felt distressed, and naturally he didn't want others to feel comfortable, so he squinted at the rear of the cabin, and said teasingly: "Young hero cuts first and then plays, and has a secret relationship with the young master. Even if the adoptive father refuses, the young master can only follow you."

Hearing his nonsense, Ye Zhenge refuted it, but the next moment he grabbed the side of the boat and vomited completely.

Ye Zhenge's mother, Feng Yuan, is the daughter of the Feng family of Tongliang. The Feng family's shipbuilding skills have been passed down for hundreds of years. Not to mention the large and small ships on the Fengxu Canal that can go to sea, and the large sailing boats that can accommodate a hundred people are also likely to come from their shipyards.Feng Yuan was able to steer the helm and ride the wind and waves when she was a girl, but she gave birth to a son who could not tolerate the water.

Only then did Xi Xiu remember why he bet dice with Shen Chuxing, and hurriedly took the plums and walked back to Ye Zhenge's side.

The sweet and sour plums relieved the discomfort, and after wiping his lips with a handkerchief, Ye Zhenge leaned against the boat canopy to fall asleep.Seeing his dusty face and frowning brows, Xi Xiu couldn't bear to disturb him, and after sitting next to him, she looked around boredly, and finally met her big round eyes.

At some point, the boy squatted beside Xi Xiu's feet, staring at the oiled paper bag in his hand.

Xi Xiu looked down and took out some plums for him.The boy was not polite, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, his fat face immediately wrinkled his facial features, and spat out all the plums in a "peh pee pee", he looked at the other side timidly, and ran back to the woman with short legs.

Xi Xiu offended the child inexplicably, but Shen Chuxing did not forget to add insult to injury, and praised while eating: "The Ruyi Cake from Guixiangyuan is really sweet."

The boy stared at him distractedly, salivating after a while, and moved towards him like a puppy.Shen Chuxing held the dim sum in his hand and shook it up and down, left and right, wherever the dim sum went, the boy's eyes followed.

"Want to eat?" Smiling and shaking the dice, Shen Chuxing said, "I'll give it to you if you win."

Xi Xiu bent over and stepped over, snatched the whole bag of Ruyi Cake and stuffed it for the child, glanced at Shen Chuxing, disdainful.

The young woman was a peasant girl with a cloth skirt and hairpins. Seeing that the companions were either rich or noble, she and her husband sat quite far away from them.She took a nap for a while due to sleepiness, and when she woke up, she saw her son holding a snack in her arms. She couldn't help but slap the child's ass in anger, and hurriedly returned it carefully.

Xi Xiu was puzzled and said, "I am willing to give it to him."

"Thank you for your kindness, we can't get used to these things." The woman walked back to the bow with a low eyebrow, took out half a biscuit from her bag, and coaxed the crying child.

Looking at that scene, Xi Xiu wondered, "Are the biscuits as delicious as the Italian cakes?"

Throwing a dice into his hand, Shen Chuxing said casually, "Do you know how much this wishful cake is?"

Xi Xiu shook his head, he was hardly aware of money.

"Using it to buy cakes can fill half a boat." Shen Chuxing smiled lightly, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, "She has accepted the kindness today, what will she give her son tomorrow? Besides, you are generous to others, take mine Dim Sum is a good person, have you ever asked me if I would like to?"

Xi Xiu was speechless, and was thinking about how to explain, when suddenly her ears moved and became alert.At the same time, Ye Zhenge was already awake, and he and Shen Chuxing exchanged glances, one after the other, they quickly walked out of the cabin and stood at the stern.

Looking as far as the eye can see, the turbulent river is turbulent, and the turbid river faces the blue sky, which seems to be boundless.

Pulling out the long sword, Shen Chuxing sighed with a smile: "I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, young master take care of yourself."

As soon as the words were finished, several shadows suddenly jumped out of the river, stabbing at the two of them with white daggers.Ye Zhenge hastily fended off the first wave of attacks, and under the cover of Shen Chuxing stepped on the sky and jumped to the bow of the boat, pushed the boatman and his family of three into the cabin, and turned around to deal with the accompanying sword light.He knew that these killers were by no means from Chanyilou, and even the business of licking blood with knives has its own rules. The Fengxu Canal is the site of the Eight Immortals, and there are two possibilities if they have the guts to kill people on the river. One: the perpetrator's background Profound; second: The benefits obtained make the Eight Immortals Gang willing to work together.

Ye Zhenge is very sure that it is the latter.

Killers are accustomed to water, attacking people unprepared but not entangled to the end, jumping into the river to hide in the moment of desperation, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Ye Zhenge and Shen Chuxing guarded the front and rear respectively, protecting the rest in the cabin.

The child was so terrified that he forgot to cry, and was hugged tightly by the woman, who covered his mouth. The woman, her husband, and the boatman also folded their heads and folded their arms, shaking like chaff.

Xi Xiukong has nowhere to display his skills, he swung his halberd and left no armor behind, including this boat!However, his patience failed to exchange for the enemy's mercy. A gap was cut in the bottom of the boat, and the river water gushed out continuously, overflowing the back of his feet in a blink of an eye.

Feeling the sinking of the boat, Ye Zhenge took a look at Shen Chuxing, and the two turned their swords sharply and lifted the canopy, so they could see the situation below at a glance.

"Hold on to the hull!" He reminded loudly, Ye Zhenge no longer hesitated, the blade sank into the bottom of the boat, and his right leg slammed down, and Shen Chuxing made the same movement on the opposite side. There was a loud noise, and the whole boat split into two.

Everyone fell into the water one after another and clung to the driftwood like straws.After experiencing the initial shock, Xi Xiu hurriedly went to look for Ye Zhenge, but when she turned her head, the other half of the boat was already ten feet away!

The killer has no time to take care of the person who fell into the water, and goes straight to the target.

Xi Xiu was about to go forward, but she heard crying and crying, followed the sound, it turned out that the woman was exhausted, and the turbulent river water choked the child's mouth and nose.In summer, Xi Xiu would often take a bath in the pool, and the water quality was not bad. He swam to the woman and helped her onto the boat, and supported the child with one arm.

Once you accidentally fall into the water, it will be someone else's world.

Ye Zhenge and Shen Chuxing stood at both ends, half of the hull looked precarious, but it was still difficult for the killer to get close by jumping up and down, and it was very exhausting underwater, so the offensive was not as good as before.

The two of Ye and Chen seemed to be busy circling around, but in fact, every step was secretly urging, leading the killer farther and farther.

These people will not appear out of thin air, let alone swim across half of the river, their boats must be hidden nearby.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the shadow of a boat appeared in front of the field of vision.Predicting the distance, Ye Zhenge's knees were slightly bent, and because of a simple movement, the hull immediately lost balance, while Shen Chuxing also increased the strength of his feet at the same time. The two of them raised their swords and jumped onto the river. Hundreds of feet away.

There was only one person on the boat waiting for him, and he jumped into the water desperately to escape for his life before the person landed.

Shen Chuxing put his feet on the ground and laughed loudly, the laughter echoing across the empty river was amazing: "Two options. First: dismantle this boat, and you continue to enjoy the cold water bath. Second: give the remaining half to you Swim back, no thanks!"

Originally, the killer dragged Ye and Chen into the river with the plan of "breaking the pot and sinking the boat". This would not only make him feel like a fish in water, but also hinder the long weapon, but unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of it.Continuing the stalemate will only lead to loss of wife and soldiers, no longer want to fight, they quietly hide their tracks.

Shen Chuxing paddled and sailed back to the original place. Fortunately, it was Xiaoman season, and the river water would not be icy cold, so the two joined hands to pull those who fell into the water onto the boat one by one.

Untiing Xixiu's cloak, Ye Zhenge took off his outer shirt and put it on him, finally turned to the family in shock, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I have caused you to be implicated."

"No, no..." The woman didn't lift her head, she hugged her son tightly and shrank.

Fearing that those villains would turn back, the boatman shook the oars with all his strength, and the boat sailed faster like the wind, and arrived at the ferry earlier.Ye Zhenge deservedly compensated the boatman for his loss, but the boatman abandoned the boat and left without saying a word.The woman was also frightened and followed her husband to get off the boat in a hurry, Shen Chuxing helped him enthusiastically, and quickly reached into her sleeve with one hand and put in the broken silver.

Xi Xiu saw it in his eyes, and thought that although this person had a cynical attitude, his actions were not as careless as his appearance.At this time, the woman who had walked a few steps suddenly turned around, bowed to Xi Xiu and said, "Thank you very much."

After speaking, she hurriedly chased after her husband.

Xi Xiu was stunned, a gleam of joy welled up in his heart, thinking it's no wonder Ye Zhenge told him not to treat women as weak easily; even though the woman's legs trembled in fear, she still did not forget to thank her. A man who doesn't care is more than a hundred times stronger?

In less than half a day, the two who were still bright before boarding the boat were in a state of embarrassment.Ye Zhenge was a little stronger, Xi Xiu seemed to have rolled through muddy water, and the dried clothes were covered with stains.After re-examining the silver shirt chosen for him, Shen Chuxing thought regretfully that black suits him better.

It took half a day to travel to the nearest town, and when the night fell, the three of them settled in the wilderness, gathered firewood and built a fire.

Beside the bonfire, Ye Zhenge was holding a branch to teach Xixiu how to read.

Shen Chuxing watched from the sidelines for a while, then lost interest and said, "What's the use of learning these spring and white snows?"

Ye Zhenge Wenwen smiled: "I would like to hear good opinions."

Get up and walk around him, Shen Chuxing sat next to Xi Xiu, opened his mouth and said, "The branches of Xieyu flowers are about to be joined together, and the beautiful wine is holding a jade handle—"

"That's all," Ye Zhenge said decisively to stop the conversation, "I have my own sense of what to teach."

"You should ask him what he wants to learn." Shen Chuxing looked at Xi Xiu with a smile, "Is the young hero interested in how to please the one you love?"

"A few obscene words and songs?" Ye Zhenge said indifferently.

Blinking his eyes innocently, Shen Chuxing approached Xi Xiu, and said, "I don't care about obscene words and songs, how come he understands it when I recite half of it silently?"

Unintentionally making a fuss over a molehill, Ye Zhenge persuaded Xi Xiu to go to rest, but Xi Xiu was so curious that he rarely refused him.He was really helpless, so he went to a distance and lay down with his clothes on, trying to keep his ears clean.

Seeing the "obstructor" leave, Shen Chuxing pretended to clear his throat, and said with bright eyes, "Do you know how much the Ye family's property is?"

Xi Xiu shook her head blankly.

"A one-night gamble of 8 taels is enough to squander a lifetime!" Shen Chuxing swallowed unconsciously.

The more Xi Xiu listened, the more puzzled she became: "Does this have something to do with pleasing my lover?"

Shaking his index finger, Shen Chuxing looked enigmatic, and said in a low voice: "There is a saying in the world called 'the right family is right', you don't know how much money Ruyi cake is because you don't have anything, but the young master doesn't know because you have too much. You and He was originally two kinds of people, and he treats you right now just for the sake of something new and interesting."

Looking fixedly at Shen Chuxing, Xi Xiu squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Did the young master ever mention to you that he not only has a wife who hasn't married yet, but also has a confidante in Yicui Pavilion. In terms of intimacy, you are not as good as his childhood sweetheart 'brother'. What do you think you are in his heart?"

"I like him, and he also said that no one can replace me!"

"I don't dare to say how much I know him. How long have you known him? Do you know how true and how false what he said?"

"Lies can be divided into good and evil. Even if there is something to hide, I will ask him clearly." Xi Xiu stood up abruptly, looked down at Shen Chuxing, and said, "You ask me what I am in his heart? I want to ask you what I am! The relationship between him is between us, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with anyone!"

Looking up at the young man, Shen Chuxing suddenly chuckled and swayed with joy: "Not bad, the young master taught you well!"

"you!"

Sensing the obvious anger of the other party, Shen Chuxing quickly corrected his attitude, and continued: "I'm not just teasing you, the young master does have a wife who is married to his fingertips, and I will go to see her after the trip to Taihe City."

Xi Xiu turned her head and snorted heavily: "I don't care if what you say is true or not, he belongs to me, I won't let him go!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Who said I'm afraid?" Xi Xiu turned around and stared at him.

Shen Chuxing said with a half smile but not a smile: "Since you choose to believe, you should have a mind to take responsibility."

After a moment of daze, Xi Xiu gradually came to her senses: "Is this the way you said to please people?"

Lying down on the pillow arm, the corner of Shen Chuxing's mouth curved, and the shallow pear dimple was filled with warm fire light: "You can teach me."
