Incredible

Holding the bamboo tube and holding the painting scroll in his right hand, he said loudly to Jiang Caiwei: "Sister? Look what I bought! This is Qizhou's specialty bamboo wine, and this is a landscape painting made by a painter in Qizhou. Sister..."

This man called Jiang Caiwei "sister", but his footwork, breath, and breath are similar to ordinary people.Jiang Caiwei glanced at him, and immediately urged: "Don't delay the time. Lianzhou, get on board."

Shen Yao then knew that the son's name was Jiang Lianzhou.

The Jiang family's fleet was fully stocked with food, water tanks, tea and silk.While sighing, Shen Yao quietly bypassed Jiang Caiwei and sneaked into Jiang's team.He took off his bamboo hat, exposed his face, rushed straight to Jiang Lianzhou, and called out, "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Jiang? I am from Anjiang City, and I want to go to Shuyang to visit relatives. Today and tomorrow, there will be no boatman in Qizhou willing to take me to Shuyang." .I am in a hurry, so I would like to ask Mr. Jiang, can you let me..."

Before Shen Yao could finish his sentence, Jiang Lianzhou replied, "Do you want to take my boat?"

Shen Yao nodded, and Jiang Lianzhou waved his hands: "Then come up quickly."

that's it?

Shen Yao was surprised.

Jiang Lianzhou waited impatiently: "Aren't you in a hurry? My family's boat is about to leave."

Shen Yao hurriedly stepped on the wooden ladder and walked up to the bow of the boat, but saw the vastness of the world and the surging waves of the water.

When the boatmen lifted the anchor and sailed, Shen Yao did not stand still and almost fell down.Jiang Lianzhou helped him up, and asked, "You carry a knife on your back, do you have martial arts? Since you have martial arts, why is your foot not stable? What's your name, and which sect do you come from?"

When Jiang Lianzhou asked, Jiang Caiwei was standing not far away.Dozens of guards guarded Jiang Lianzhou's back with their swords. All of them were very dignified, and Shen Yao was secretly startled, for fear that if he said a wrong word, he would be thrown into him immediately. in the water.

Shen Yao smiled and lied: "My surname is Yao, and my name is a gentleman. My family runs a medicine business, and I have no family or school. My kung fu was learned in Anjiang City... from the gentlemen of the martial arts school. I am not very good at it. , let Mr. Jiang laugh."

Jiang Lianzhou opened a bamboo tube, leaned back to take a sip of wine, and said, "Brother Yao? I see you are about the same age as me."

Shen Yao said: "I am twenty years old this year."

Jiang Lianzhou said, "Oh? We were born in the same year!"

Shen Yao nodded.

Today the sky is clear, the wind is full and the waves are strong, the white sails on the boat are full of wind, and they are sailing smoothly on the waterway.Shen Yao had never been on a big boat, so he couldn't help looking around.The rolling waves were like undulating mountains, rushing towards the sky continuously, and the hull of the ship was still shaking slightly, Shen Yao suddenly felt dizzy, so he took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, dipped it in some medicine, and applied it on his Yintang, Ren In the middle, on the ear door.

Jiang Lianzhou stared at him and asked, "What are you holding?"

Shen Yao handed it to him: "Last night, I bought medicinal materials in Qizhou and made a bottle of anti-dizziness ointment. There are poria cocos, pinellia, mint, and Atractylodes macrocephala..."

Jiang Lianzhou took the bottle of anti-dizziness ointment: "My sister gets seasick easily, but I don't." Standing beside Shen Yao, he seemed to be always looking for opportunities to chat with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao glanced at the Jiang family members on the boat.Many people had already entered the cabin, only Jiang Caiwei and a group of guards stayed at the bow.The martial arts conference is about to be held, and Jiang Caiwei and Jiang Lianzhou's father must sit in Yingtian Mansion, so why did Jiang Caiwei and Jiang Lianzhou rush back to their hometown in Shuyang at this juncture?

Just as Shen Yao was about to speak, Jiang Lianzhou asked him, "You said you were going to visit relatives in Shuyang, what kind of relatives are you visiting?"

Shen Yao sat on the spot, crossed his legs, and replied, "Actually, it's not really a visit."

Jiang Lianzhou sat with him: "How do you say that?"

Shen Yao said calmly: "He and I are not yet married. There is no matchmaker's words, no orders from parents, no exchange of Geng Tie, or worship. I went to Shuyang this time to see him again."

Jiang Lianzhou became interested.He handed Shen Yao a bamboo tube, and asked again: "You already have a sweetheart? Is it my woman from Shuyang?"

Shen Yao lifted the lid of the bamboo tube and took a sip of sake.The taste of this wine is mellow and lingering, although it is not as sweet and delicious as Liangzhou brewed, nor is it comparable to the peach blossom wine from Qingguan Town, but there is a bamboo fragrance in the wine, which makes the heart soft and hearty.He couldn't help holding up the bamboo tube and said with a smile: "Good wine! Good wine! Thank you Brother Jiang!"

In order to buy the best bamboo tube wine in Qizhou, Jiang Lianzhou has traveled to several places these days.And his older sister Jiang Caiwei has always been a teetotaler, and impatient with Jiang Lianzhou not doing his job properly, she has no good looks towards him.

Jiang Lianzhou hit a wall with his sister, but was praised by Shen Yao, and he was happy for a moment.He was overwhelmed with alcohol, and asked again: "Is your sweetheart my woman from Shuyang?"

Shen Yao hesitated and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes..."

Jiang Lianzhou tilted his head: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yao laughed before saying anything, and drank some more wine.

The sailboat went eastward along the current, and the water surface became wider and wider.Shen Yao held the bamboo tube, stood up, and embraced the long wind with his sleeves full.

Jiang Lianzhou made a gesture, and the surrounding guards retreated one after another, but Jiang Caiwei was still standing not far away.Jiang Lianzhou knew that the conversation between him and Shen Yao would be heard by Jiang Caiwei verbatim, so he still asked, "I don't know why... I feel very kind when I see you. You were born in Anjiang City, and your ancestors were from Shuyang?" ?”

Shen Yao shook his head.

Jiang Lianzhou laughed loudly: "When you marry a woman from Shuyang in the future, you will be our son-in-law in Shuyang! You can also be regarded as half of Shuyang."

Before the words fell, a middle-aged man walked out of the cabin.This man was neatly dressed, with a beard on his chin, and his brows were not angry but majestic. As soon as he showed up, Jiang Lianzhou shivered.

Shen Yao asked softly, "Who is that?"

Jiang Lianzhou said, "My uncle."

Shen Yao asked again: "Your uncle looks so fierce?"

Jiang Lianzhou hugged the bamboo tube tightly, and said: "My uncle's family rules are very strict, don't annoy him. Otherwise, I won't be able to speak well for you."

The two of them were whispering here.But that uncle actually got closer and closer.

Although Shen Yao lowered his head, he could still feel a gaze fixed on him.As soon as Jiang Lianzhou raised his head, his uncle asked him, "Who is this?"

Jiang Lianzhou hurriedly said, "Someone I know in Qizhou."

The uncle asked again: "From Qizhou?"

Jiang Lianzhou said, "It's from Anjiang City."

The uncle flicked his sleeve robe, turned around and left: "In Anjiang City, there was a plague just now, so you don't think it's bad luck."

"My uncle has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart," Jiang Lianzhou explained to Shen Yao. "What he thinks in his heart does not always mean the same thing as what he says. You see, although he said something unpleasant, he also I never thought of driving you off the boat. Haha, in my house, I am the only one who has no brains..."

Shen Yao clasped his fists at him: "Brother Jiang is open-minded and heroic, he is quite famous."

"How can there be?" Jiang Lianzhou was stupefied, already slightly drunk, "My martial arts are not as good as my family's handymen and servants. Fortunately, there is an older sister in the family, otherwise my father would have no successors because of his unique skills. people."

Shen Yao asked him: "Is talent very important in learning martial arts? Without talent, one must rely on acquired diligence..."

Jiang Lianzhou took a deep breath: "The foundation is too weak to be repaired. You are a martial artist, you should know."

Shen Yao said, "Know what? I knew I was a waste."

Jiang Lianzhou looked at him thoughtfully, "You are from Anjiang City. When the plague broke out in Anjiang City, were you in the city?"

"I was here," Shen Yao nodded, "the situation was very critical at that time. The old and weak, women and children went to the streets crying, crying that their family members died one by one, and there was no time to take care of the funeral. The plague came strangely and spread very fast... …At first, we could have discovered it early and made preparations early. The doctors in the city insisted that it was not a plague, but just heat. In this way, it was delayed for several days, countless lives were lost, and a catastrophe was caused.”

Talking about that experience, Shen Yao felt sad, so he swallowed another sip of wine, and said: "At the beginning in Anjiang City, no one believed or listened to what I said as an unknown person. I shouldn't have killed so many people, I just blamed me for being an idiot. waste."

Jiang Lianzhou was filled with righteous indignation: "I believe you. I believe you! I have also told others that everything about Anjiang City, Qinhuai Tower, and Ximang Village is extremely strange! Especially that Jialan faction is very weird. Heh, their head suddenly died suddenly, and the disciples of the Garan Sect regarded me as a thorn in their side, my father refused to let me participate in the martial arts conference, and insisted on driving me home."

As soon as Jiang Lianzhou finished speaking, Jiang Caiwei sent a voice transmission to his inner strength: "Lianzhou!"

Although his sister only called his name, he knew that this was her sister's warning.As the young master of the Jiang family, he must not confided his heart to a boy of unknown origin, and exchanged shallow and deep words.

He could only stop talking and look into the distance.

Shen Yao didn't ask him again.

The two of them enjoyed the scenery quietly and tacitly.

The rising sun rises higher, and the golden light covers the surface of the water. The rushing river flows thousands of miles, with sparkling ripples.

Jiang Lianzhou knocked on a wooden fence, and said, "This situation is magnificent. Can you compose poems? You and I are on the same page, why don't you compose a poem?"

Shen Yao thought for a moment, and wrote a poem on the spot: "The sun is high and far away, and it floats and sinks in the waves of the river. The blue waves roar in the sky..."

Jiang Lianzhou continued: "It's just a wish to ascend to heaven!"

It happened that a huge wave hit the ship's side, making a muffled sound, and the waves splashed to a high place, wetting the clothes of Shen Yao and Jiang Lianzhou.Their hair was soaked in moisture and stuck to their faces, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help making fun of each other.

Shen Yao thought to himself: It's strange.I have also seen innocent and innocent teenagers before, such as Huang Banxia.But why, when he got along with Jiang Lianzhou, he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before... Could it be that his ancestors were really from Shuyang?Are the common people in Shuyang as easy to get along with as Jiang Lianzhou?

Shen Yao accompanied Jiang Lianzhou to blow the wind for a while, and Jiang Lianzhou began to cough slightly.Shen Yao persuaded him to go back to the cabin, but he actually pulled up Shen Yao's sleeve and brought him into the cabin together.

The cabin is not only spacious and bright, but also has many furnishings.Tables, chairs, screens, incense burners, and door cabinets are all available.

Jiang Lianzhou's uncle was making tea with an air stove, seeing Shen Yao and Jiang Lianzhou approaching, the uncle didn't even lift his eyelids.

As a junior, Jiang Lianzhou still had to salute: "Uncle."

Shen Yao followed suit.

Jiang Lianzhou said: "There are still two vacant rooms on the boat. Let the guests choose one of them. There are still four days and four nights to travel by water."

Shen Yao took a peek at Jiang Lianzhou's uncle.The man didn't object.Shen Yao immediately said: "Thank you, Brother Jiang."

After that, Shen Yao ate and lived with the Jiang family on the boat.On the third day, the sky turned from sunny to cloudy, and gradually it began to rain heavily, and the wind and waves became more violent.The waves rushed to the hull with rainwater, bringing heavy mist.

The rain never stopped.

In the middle of the night, with dark clouds covering the moon, Shen Yao lay tossing and turning in the room.He heard the sound of raging waves, and also heard the footsteps of everyone in the cabin running back and forth.He got out of bed, opened the door, and just saw a familiar boy.He stopped the boy and asked directly: "What happened?"

The boy had sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly replied: "My young master has a high fever."

Shen Yao was taken aback for a moment, then asked again: "Is there a doctor on board?"

The boy stomped his feet remorsefully: "No! No! This trip is in a hurry and the distance is short..."

Shen Yao took out a row of needles and two bottles of medicine from his luggage: "Let's go, take me to see your young master."

The young man ran ahead, his feet slipping.Shen Yao said to him again: "In the past two days, the humidity on the boat was too heavy, and the charcoal fire was still burning in the cabin. It was cold and hot, and it probably attracted wind evil."

The boy asked: "Your family sells medicine, so are you a doctor?"

Shen Yao said modestly: "It's half a doctor."

When the two were talking, they had already reached the door of Jiang Lianzhou's room.The big boat was still swaying in the wind and rain, Jiang Lianzhou supported the head of the bed and leaned against the pillow, breathing weakly and tiredly: "Sister..."

Sitting beside his bed, Jiang Caiwei frowned, her face was full of worry.She took Jiang Lianzhou's hand, touched his forehead again, her voice trembled: "It's burning so badly."

She turned her head and looked at her uncle: "We must stop the boat, go ashore as soon as possible, and find a doctor for him. He can't stand the burning."

With his hands behind his back, the uncle sternly said: "The wind and waves are raging outside, even if everyone is asked to paddle, they must be careful not to hit the rocks!"

Jiang Caiwei's momentum is sharp, not inferior to her uncle who is ten years older than her: "Let's go down the river, and we will land immediately at dawn tomorrow morning. There are still a few pieces of ice stored on the boat, let the servants go and get them. Make it through the night..."

The uncle became more and more irritable: "I told Jiang Lianzhou that his martial arts is too bad! He must be followed by a doctor when he goes out! He is good, he would rather bring a stranger with unknown origin than know how to take care of himself! Look at what your brother is doing now. Look! Let someone clean up the mess for him..."

Shen Yao knocked on the wall of the boat: "I have seen you two."

Jiang Caiwei raised her voice: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Yao's attitude was extremely respectful: "I have a little knowledge of medicine."

"Let's go," Jiang Caiwei greeted him like a servant, "it's none of your business here."

Jiang Caiwei's usual big knife stood at her feet, the blade shining with dazzling golden light.Anxious in her heart, she held the handle of the knife with her backhand and kept stabbing.But Jiang Lianzhou was lying on the bed, but he didn't have the strength to speak, so he could only make a breathy voice: "Sister..."

"Miss Jiang, have you used anti-dizziness ointment these two days? I made it myself." Shen Yao said.He stood in front of Jiang Caiwei, bent down and pulled Jiang Caiwei's right hand, resting his fingertips on her pulse.

Had another daring lunatic made such a move, Jiang Caiwei would have slashed at him long ago, splashing blood all over the room.

The strange thing is that Shen Yao touched her wrist without hesitation, and she didn't intend to reject it.She was a little puzzled, and then heard Shen Yao say: "Ms. Jiang is in good health, but she is a little afraid of the cold and loves the heat, and occasionally suffers from heart problems at night... In recent days, she has always suffered from insomnia and frequent dreams."

Practicing the Jiang family's unique martial art "Golden Phase Killing Knife" will make the Yang Qi in the body flourish.Jiang Caiwei has not yet reached the highest level of practice, and the yin and yang in her body cannot be reconciled, so she is afraid of the cold and loves the heat, and occasionally has a bad pulse, which is not a major problem.She just didn't expect that Shen Yao would be able to guess it by feeling the pulse.

She changed her previous arrogance and rudeness, clasped her fists and said, "Please ask the doctor to take Lian Zhou's pulse."

Shen Yao returned the gift.

Jiang Caiwei's uncle said again: "This little brother, if he can't be cured, he must not prescribe random medicines. We will go to the shore early tomorrow morning to find a famous doctor."

Shen Yao took Jiang Lianzhou's wrist and examined his body, thinking: If I can't cure this minor illness, Master will scold me to death.

Jiang Lianzhou was pampered since he was a child, and he couldn't stand the torture of illness.The three-point disease that is placed on ordinary people can be seven-pointed in Jiang Lianzhou.This is really a serious young master's body and young master's life!Shen Yao didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly used his housekeeping skills and gave Jiang Lianzhou two more medicines. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly guarded Jiang Lianzhou's bedside.

Jiang Caiwei stretched out her hand and covered Jiang Lianzhou's forehead with a complicated expression: "Thank you, doctor. Lianzhou's fever subsided in less than a cup of tea."

"Well," Shen Yao responded, "Tomorrow morning, he will be a little dizzy, but it's not a problem, just use some plaster. By tomorrow evening, he should be almost fine."

Jiang Caiwei's uncle was still suspicious: "If that's the case, why doesn't Jiang Lianzhou speak now?"

Shen Yao smiled: "He is too tired and has fallen asleep. I guess he has always been a deep sleeper. But you can wake him up."

Jiang Caiwei raised her hand and looked at Shen Yao: "You just said that you have some medical skills?"

Shen Yao nodded.

Jiang Caiwei said: "When my younger brother was at home, he developed a cold and it took at least seven days to recover. The doctors in my family are all from a family of imperial physicians. Residents of Shuyang are seriously ill, and they will go to my house to find someone."

Shen Yao changed the subject and said, "Why didn't you bring your doctor with you on this trip?"

Jiang Caiwei replied in a soft voice: "Not long ago, members of the Demon Cult trespassed on the Liuguang Sect and severely injured many Liuguang Sect disciples. My father sent away a group of doctors to be dispatched by the Liuguang Sect."

Shen Yao's breath was stagnant, and he inquired cautiously: "The Liuguang Sect's martial arts are so good, will they be seriously injured by the thieves of the Demon Sect?"

"The thieves of the Devil's Cult are proficient in disguise," Jiang Caiwei recalled something, and revealed frankly, "They used low-level tricks to kill the head of the Garan Sect, and tricked away the martial arts masters present, making the Liuguang Sect Fighting alone. It was not until Uncle Duan arrived that the situation was reversed."

Shen Yao heard a few words from Jiang Caiwei, and began to recall the scene of that night.According to Jiang Caiwei, after Duan Yongxuan came, the Liuguang faction would not lose too badly.

Shen Yao suspected that on the night of the incident, Duan Yongxuan came straight to Wei Lingfeng, and then joined the battle between the Liuguang faction and the Demon Cult.In other words, the Devil's Cult gained the upper hand at the beginning, rather than the "heavy losses" described by Duan Yongxuan.

"Where's Master Tan of the Liuguang Sect, is he alright?" Shen Yao lied out of conscience, "Master Tan is the leader of the Eight Great Sects in Jianghu, and a benevolent person in the martial arts world. I hope he's okay."

Jiang Caiwei said truthfully: "He fought against the demon girl and suffered some injuries."

"Can the demon girl beat him?" Shen Yao was puzzled.

"I can't beat it," Jiang Caiwei said calmly, "The witch was also injured, more seriously. So, she was captured alive and hanged on the city wall."

Shen Yao believes that it is true that Yuntang was injured, but it is false that he was hanged.As a result, he was even more worried about Wei Lingfeng's situation.He found a reason casually, left Jiang Lianzhou's room, and thought about those experiences in the past, until midnight.

That night, Shen Yao fell asleep in a drowsy state full of thoughts about Wei Lingfeng.

As Shen Yao said, in the evening of the next day, Jiang Lianzhou was in good health, without any signs of illness, and was even able to eat and run around.

Everyone in the Jiang family was more polite to Shen Yao.

However, when Jiang Lianzhou heard that Shen Yao had cured him, he was a little unhappy: "You hid your secrets and didn't tell me that you are still a doctor."

Shen Yao said with a smile: "What can the doctor say? I hope that you will live a long life in the future, free from illness and pain, and never have to see a doctor again."

Jiang Lianzhou raised his finger, and tapped twice on the mast: "Okay." He said, "I also hope that you are safe and well, and see your sweetheart soon."

After the rain, the sky cleared, gulls and birds flew together, and the vast water surface had a limit.Shen Yao looked forward and saw countless lights reflected on the wharf along the coast. The light and shadow intersected with the water waves, as if supporting a city that never sleeps called "Shuyang".

Shen Yao was about to ask about Shuyang's anecdotes, when Jiang Lianzhou suddenly whispered, "What's your real name?"

Shen Yao's face changed: "Huh?"

Jiang Lianzhou stretched his arms, and his sleeves fluttered against the mast: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I often had high fevers. I have never recovered so quickly, and I have never been like this. I can go to the ground the next day, as if nothing happened. This evening, My sister asked me how I was doing, and I lied to her. I said I was still a little uncomfortable, but it was gone long ago.”

He stared at Shen Yao intently: "My father said that people with special skills usually use aliases when they walk in the rivers and lakes." He persisted in asking, "Do you have a real name? I swear to God, I won't tell anyone."

The boat was closer to the shore, and thousands of lights reflected in his eyes, as if stars had fallen into a clear mountain stream-this is a kind of unworldly look.Shen Yao was touched for a moment, and said without hesitation: "My surname is Shen, and my name is Yao."

Jiang Lianzhou read it twice: "Shen Yao, Shen Yao."

Shen Yao nodded: "It's me."

Jiang Lianzhou suddenly remembered something, and he was shocked: "Wei Lingfeng is your senior brother? You are the young disciple of the Danyi School? The person who quelled the plague in Anjiang City? You once fought side by side with Duan Wuhen in Ximang Village ?”

Shen Yao took half a step back: "I...how can I be qualified to fight side by side with Duan Wuhen. If I don't hold him back, I will thank God."

At this moment, Jiang Lianzhou had a lot to say.However, he glanced over and saw his sister and uncle walking out of the cabin.He immediately took off a jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Shen Yao: "This is the Jiang family's 'Xingzhe Order'. You are outside, and you saw the Jiang family's property, and you took the token to find the shopkeeper. They dare not neglect You, and I will not betray you."

Shen Yao's heart skipped a beat: "Tell me?"

Jiang Lianzhou said: "Tan Baiqing wants to arrest you in Jianghu. My father didn't agree. One is because you came from an innocent background and had nothing to do with the Demon Cult. The other is because you saved many people in Anjiang City, and my father appreciates you. The third is Because you have never done anything harmful to nature, even Zhao Duwei...Zhao Laogou can't find your fault."

Shen Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Dog Zhao, is this the nickname you gave Captain Zhao?"

"He's obviously a manly man," Jiang Lianzhou teased, "He's always thinking about it, holding chicken feathers as arrows... To put it bluntly, isn't he just a dog raised by the court?"

Shen Yao pondered: "Zhao Laogou and Tan Baiqing seem to have a good relationship."

Jiang Lianzhou's voice was even lower: "Tan Baiqing's position as the leader of the martial arts..."

"Lian Zhou!" Jiang Caiwei interrupted their conversation loudly.She came quickly with a long knife on her back, and a cloth bag in her hand.This cloth bag contained a package of dry food, three bank notes, and a few changes of clothes, which were necessary for going out on the road.

Jiang Caiwei personally handed the cloth bag to Shen Yao, and said that when we arrived in Shuyang, we will leave here, hoping that the things in the bag can come in handy, and once again thanked Shen Yao for saving his life last night.

Shen Yao was grateful for the generosity of Jiang's family and gave them many bruise medicines.

When Shen Yao was in Qizhou, he bought the necessary medicinal materials and made a total of seven bottles of bruise medicine.He only kept one bottle for himself, and handed over the other six bottles to Jiang Caiwei.

After the sailboat docked, Shen Yao waved goodbye to them at the pier, carrying a long knife and a bundle.

The Jiang family's carriage waited by the river early.But Jiang Lianzhou refused to step into the carriage for a long time.His eyes were flushed, and he waved to Shen Yao: "There will be a time later!"

Shen Yao looked back and smiled: "There will be a period later!"

The water mist on the shore was thick, and Shen Yao plunged into the night.

Before he had time to rest, he went straight to the market in Shuyang, pretending that he was from Miaoling, and thus mixed into a caravan heading for Miaoling.

The caravan set off the next day, and Shen Yao accompanied him all the way.This caravan was far less wealthy than Jiang's family, and the middle-aged man who led the caravan was only a three-legged cat.There are also four warriors in the team, who are strong and vigorous, but their base is unstable and their breath is insufficient.Obviously, their ability to escape is better than their ability to fight.

This caravan often purchased goods from Shuyang, bought silk, tea, and lacquerware, and then transported them to Miaoling for sale.There are some wealthy families in Miaoling who are very fond of silk and tea from Shuyang.They are big patrons of caravans.The team leader asked Shen Yao if he knew the dignitaries in Miaoling?

Shen Yao said: "I know them, but they don't know me. I am such a small person, how can a big person care about it?"

The team leader rode on a camel and said with a smile, "You? You have a good-looking little white face, so handsome, so no girl misses you?"

Everyone in the team laughed.

Shen Yao laughed along, but his thoughts wandered to other places.

The caravan traveled long distances for more than [-] days, and Shen Yao has always been walking on two feet.Now that he has martial arts, he has figured out a set of light kung fu walking methods, which can catch up with the leader's camels.

Warriors also often walk on their feet.There were [-] people in their team, but only [-] camels. The big guys took turns riding camels, only Shen Yao kept refusing.Shen Yao said: "I have good feet. When I can't walk anymore, you can give me a camel to ride." He dared to do this because of his own internal strength.

However, six days after No.20, Shen Yao discovered that the soles of his shoes were rotten.

He couldn't get in front of the village or back to the store, so he was in a hurry to walk around.The desert was full of wind and sand, and the Gobi Desert was covered with white bones. Shen Yao's feet stepped on the gravel, and he felt burnt and hot, and the skin of his feet was also worn off.He couldn't bear the pain, so he called out, and the team leader called him over and changed him to ride the camel.

"Put back the loads on your shoulders," the leader said solemnly. "Since the seventh day, you have been helping the camels carry the loads. What is this? You are walking with us, how easy it is for people to take care of you!" Nobody hires you as a helper."

Shen Yao grabbed his hair, the hair tie was loose, and his hair floated in front of his eyes, blocking the oncoming yellow sand.When the scorching sun in the sky made his head dizzy, he explained the situation to the team leader, and exchanged dry food for a pair of good shoes with others.After that, Shen Yao still insisted on walking with two legs, until they walked out of this desert, he seemed to die and come back to life again.

When approaching Miaoling, everyone in the team hadn't recovered from exhaustion.Shen Yao bought medicinal materials from nearby villages and towns, and made more than ten bowls of "Qi-tonifying and soothing soup" every day.After taking it for three days in a row, not only did everyone become more conscious, but their backaches were also relieved.The team leader couldn't help praising Shen Yao loudly, and asked him if he was married and wanted to marry his daughter to him.

Shen Yao evaded: "I already have a sweetheart."

It was dark as they spoke, and they passed through a village.Miaoling is just ten miles away, so they are willing to take a part of the night journey.

Unexpectedly, when I turned over the top of the mountain, I heard the sound of the back of a knife knocking on a tree.The birds startled all around, and more than 20 strong bandits with big arms and round waists rushed out of the dense forest.

In Shen Yao's team, there are two women, one old and one young, who are accompanying family members.The night was dark, and there was no moonlight in the dense forest. The bandit lit a torch and cursed: "Pull your mother's dry legs! There are only two women! Kill all the men, and pay all the goods..."

Before the bandits finished speaking, Shen Yao drew his saber backhand.

A martial artist in the team originally wanted to run, but seeing Shen Yao's desperate effort, he hesitated for a long time, but followed.The bandits in the mountains are superior in numbers, only a few of them know some martial arts, Shen Yaokong has internal strength, but he doesn't know how to use it yet.He swung his big knife and slashed in the air, chopping down an old tree half a foot thick.

Two bandits are pulling the cargo.Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and ran in front of them, the blade was slashing backwards, and an evil wind came from behind him unexpectedly.Shen Yao turned somersaults on the spot, an idea flashed in his mind, and suddenly remembered Duan Wuhen's gesture of throwing chopsticks, so he followed suit and pointed the edge of the long knife at the bandit leader.

The weapon in the bandit leader's hand was a meteor hammer, the sharp edges were stained with black blood.Seeing the long knife attacking, he released the meteor hammer with his right hand, and smashed it to Shen Yao's throat, the trick was extremely ruthless.

Knowing that he couldn't dodge it, Shen Yao took the blow with his shoulders, and then used his strength to strike, pushing the long knife and stabbing it out, piercing the bandit leader's heart, causing his blood to splatter everywhere.

The leader is dead, and the rest of the bandits are in chaos.

Shen Yao covered the wound on his shoulder, stepped on the bandit's chest, and made several "clicks" in succession. It turned out that Shen Yao maliciously stepped on the bandit leader's ribs.He shouted loudly: "Who else wants to court death?"

The bandits fled across the road, and after a while, they scattered without a trace.

Shen Yao drew out his long knife and wiped off the blood with his sleeve.Then he took out the bruise medicine and rubbed it on his wound.The leader asked him if he could still walk, and he said, "Yes, let's go, we will arrive at Miaoling tonight."

The team leader hesitated to speak.

On the road, everyone was not as free and unscrupulous as they were at the beginning.The youngest woman in the team was only 17 years old, and she was the newly married wife of a warrior accompanying him.This woman has some medical skills, but she is far inferior to Shen Yao.She followed behind Shen Yao and asked him, "Little Lord, that medicine..."

Shen Yao responded, "What?"

"The medicine in your hand has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding." The woman looked at him, her face flushed immediately, "Can you give me a little bit... My husband was also slightly injured."

Shen Yao threw the medicine bottle to her, and walked straight ahead at night.

The largest town in Miaoling is named "Yanxiang".Yanxiang is adjacent to the mountains and is rich in herbal medicines.Shen Yao shuttled through the brightly lit night market, bought a lot of herbs, wrapped them in yellow paper, and carefully put them into his backpack.

The team leader asked Shen Yao to stay, and invited him to have a breakup meal in Yanxiang.Shen Yao declined, and said: "I have to hurry, and I don't want to delay for a moment."

The team leader instructed worriedly: "You have to be careful. Over the two mountains in front of you, across a river, it is all the territory of the Demon Cult. Those people...kill people without blinking an eye, even if you have some kung fu, you will Not their opponents."

Shen Yao pretended to be surprised: "They are so cruel! What a bunch of villains! I will definitely take a long way to avoid them!"

Shen Yao said goodbye to them at the foot of the mountain.Watching them go further and further, Shen Yao just started to climb the mountain.He took a deep breath, as if there was endless energy in his body.He galloped all the way in the moonlight mottled mountain forest, with his feet lightly touching the ground, he seemed to be flying, and the soles of his shoes skimmed over the lush vegetation, gliding as he wished.

It turns out that Qinggong is so easy to use!Shen Yao sighed.

He stayed up all night and climbed two mountains in succession.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun shone on him, and he felt his hands were cold.On the left shoulder, the bloody mouth that was beaten by the bandit leader had scabbed over.The blood was still clotted on the clothes, and the wound seemed to be cracking.

Standing by the riverside, Shen Yao looked at the rippling water of the river, only feeling that the sky and river were the same color, completely forgetting himself.The sun rises from the east, the river flows from west to east, and there are still mountains and mountains in the distance.Compared with these everlasting mountains and rivers, a person's life is as small as floating dust.At this moment, he suddenly forgot many worldly thoughts.

Until a boat with a black awning came by the river.

The punter is an old man with white hair and white eyebrows.A clear line of water was drawn on the surface of the river by his boat.Holding the penny, the old man shouted to Shen Yao: "Is the ferry?"

Shen Yao immediately returned to his senses: "Cross!" He jumped down the rock, performed the lightness kung fu he realized last night, stepped on the water waves a few times, turned over in the air, and suddenly jumped to the bow of the boat.

The old man praised: "Good work!"

Shen Yao said with a smile: "Look at my pants are soaked, it's not a good effort."

"Little friends have not practiced martial arts for a long time," said the old man while punting the boat. "It is one in a thousand to have this level of comprehension."

The boat moves slowly in the river.

At this time, Shen Yao just noticed that the old man's breathing technique is very clever.

The long pole in the old man's hand was retracted and released, and the water ripples outside the boat disappeared in an instant.The boat seemed to be floating slowly, while the surrounding mountains and rivers were receding rapidly.

Shen Yao stretched out his hand, wanting to grab a handful of river water.The old man yelled at him, "Don't move!"

Shen Yao was shocked by the angry shout, and the fingertips of five fingers unconsciously poked towards the river.The old man held a long punt pole, and threw it into the water. There was a loud noise from the bottom of the boat, and suddenly there was another big wave. The cold and turbulent river water splashed on Shen Yao and the old man, and the black-covered boat just stopped. At the heart of the river.

"My friend was in a hurry to see the leader, so the old man used the Qi Ji technique." The old man wiped off the water on his face and said to Shen Yao, "If the old man didn't stop in time, my arm would have been useless."

Fearing that the banknotes in the bag would get wet, Shen Yao hurriedly opened the cloth bag and searched for the few banknotes hidden in the interlayer.While looking for him, he said, "You are indeed one of Yuntang's subordinates."

The old man said: "Don't call the leader by his first name, it's disrespectful."

Shen Yao asked with a smile: "The leader sent you to pick me up? She knew I was coming? Did her brother know?"

The old man didn't answer, just bowed his head and punted the boat.

The sun was getting higher and higher in the sky, Shen Yao saw the opposite bank, and saw four beautiful maids in long skirts and gauze clothes standing on the bank, as well as his acquaintance Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing's face was radiant, and she was holding a gauze lantern in her hand.Shen Yao thought strangely: It is daytime now, why do you need to light the lamp?

As soon as the ship docked, Shen Yao went straight to Liu Qingqing.He ran and asked, "How is Wei Lingfeng? How are you doing recently?"

"Young Master Wei is the elder brother of the leader, so naturally..." Liu Qingqing stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.She looked around Shen Yao and asked him, "When did you develop your inner strength?"

Shen Yao did not hesitate: "I took the same medicine as you."

Liu Qingqing's face turned pale: "Ten years of epiphyllum?
