Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-six

He turned around and didn't even look back. Xuanyuan Sanguang scolded with a smile: "This bull-nosed man is so heartless, he didn't even thank you." Xiao Yu'er said: "Don't say thank you for your kindness, you don't even know that." While talking, he tore off a piece of his clothes to wrap around the fresh wound on his shoulder, but one hand was still handcuffed to Jiang Yulang's, so it was naturally inconvenient to move. Xuanyuan Sanguang wondered: "Why are you two so intimate..." Xiao Yu'er said with a smile: "If you can make us not be intimate, then you have the ability."

Xuanyuan Sanguang picked up the knife again, and suddenly slashed down on the handcuffs. Hearing a sound of "Zheng", sparks sparked all over, and the sharp knife broke into two pieces. Jiang Yulang sighed, Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "Look, do I have to be intimate with him?" Xuanyuan Sanguang smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case, if you don't want to make out with him, a certain family might as well cut off his hand." Jiang Yulang's complexion changed drastically, Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Even if I cut off his hand, this damn thing is still in my hands, it's better to keep him by my side, and he can chat with me."

Xuanyuan Sanguang looked into Jiang Yulang's eyes and said slowly, "If you don't cut off his hand, I'm afraid he will cut off your hand one day." Xiao Yu'er said: "Don't worry, he doesn't have such great skills yet." Xuanyuan Sanguang laughed and said: "You little devil is very interesting, a certain family would like to get together with you more, but the kid next to you has a treacherous face, and a certain family hates it..." He patted Xiao Yu'er on the shoulder, and suddenly he was outside the door, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I wait for you alone in the future, a certain family will ask you to have a drink."

Xiao Yu'er drove out, but the other person had disappeared.At this time, the setting sun was bright and the mountains were full of picturesque scenery, Xiao Yu'er thought of the underground palace like a dream. The road down the mountain from this "Xuantan Temple" was not very far, the two of them walked down in one breath, the sky was not yet very dark, and as far as the eye could see, the lights were on. Xiao Yu'er heaved a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I never thought I could walk down the mountain all by myself. God treats me well." Jiang Yulang hadn't spoken all this time, but at this moment he suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know where elder brother is going?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "Where I am going, you have to go too." Jiang Yulang said with a smile: "The younger brother naturally follows the elder brother." Xiao Yu'er said: "Actually, I don't have any fixed place to go, I just wander around." Jiang Yulang happily said: "Since we are wandering around, why don't we go to Wuhan first. The little brother over there has a friend who has a family-owned sword that cuts iron like mud..." At this point, he smiled slightly and stopped talking. Don't say any more. Sure enough, Xiao Yu'er said loudly: "Let's go, let's go find your friend."

He walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, and said with a smile, "You have some money on you? We have to go to the town to buy some clothes... and we have to buy some clothes to put on our hands, otherwise we won't be seen by others." It's strange to be a fugitive." Jiang Yulang sighed: "If elder brother asks younger brother to take some jewels from the storehouse, as long as there is only one jewel, the clothes bought may be enough for us to wear for a lifetime." Jiang Yulang blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "Since you don't have any, it seems we have no choice but to cheat." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a person in front of him carrying a lantern and a big bag in his hand. .

Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang winked, and were about to walk over, but when this man saw them, he suddenly put down his burden, bowed from a distance, turned around and left without saying a word. There were four sets of brand new clothes in the bag, and they seemed to be custom-made according to the figures of Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang, both of them couldn't help being surprised when they opened the bag. Jiang Yulang said: "This... who sent this?" Xiao Yuer frowned and said, "We just went down the mountain, who would know?" After much deliberation, the two of them couldn't figure out who it was, so they had to change their clothes first.At this time, the mountain city was already filled with lights from thousands of houses, and the two of them put a purple satin robe on their hands, and walked to the street swaggeringly, they looked very proud, but their stomachs were already screaming with hunger.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Since the man sent the clothes, why don't you make it to the end and send some money." Before we could finish talking, a man dressed as a shopkeeper came running over, and said with a smile: "You two are Young Master Jiang? Just now, a guest officer sent five hundred taels of silver to the cabinet, and asked the villain to hand it over to the two of you. The two of you have booked the room, food and drinks." Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang glanced at each other, Jiang Yulang said in a deep voice, "What's that person's last name? What's his name?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I don't even know about it." Jiang Yulang asked, "What does he look like?" The shopkeeper said: "There are a lot of people coming and going in the small shop every day. The villain can't remember what the guest officer looks like." Three words: "I don't know." As expected, the food and wine had already been prepared, and they were very rich. Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "This man is a roundworm in our stomachs, no matter what we want, he actually knows." Although he spoke happily, he couldn't help feeling a little worried in his heart, especially when he thought that when he came with that "yellow cow and white sheep", wouldn't the situation along the way be similar to what it is now?And it's been less than an hour since I went down the mountain, how could anyone know?This person is so attentive on the surface, but he doesn't know what kind of plan he is playing in secret. If he really has good intentions, why doesn't he dare to show his face?

Jiang Yulang rolled his eyes, obviously secretly suspicious, but although these two people are young, they are very rich in the city, and neither of them is willing to speak out. At night, the two of them naturally had to sleep in the same room. Xiao Yu'er yawned and said with a smile, "Do you know what I want to do most now?" Jiang Yulang smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to read a book?" Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said: "It seems that you are really my bosom friend." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yulang had already taken out the secret book from Xiao Mimi's hands, Xiao Yu'er wanted to read it, so why didn't he want to read it.

What is contained in the secret book is naturally the most profound truth in martial arts, both of them seem to be unable to understand, shaking their heads and sighing, but their eyes are wide open, as if wishing to swallow this secret book in one gulp In the stomach.Xiao Yu'er looked at it for an hour, then yawned again, and said with a smile: "This book is very ugly, I'm going to sleep, how about you?" Jiang Yulang also yawned, and said with a smile, "My little brother has been sleepy for a long time." The two of them slept on the bed for an hour, their eyes were still wide open, and they didn't know what they were thinking about, if they were said to be thinking about the martial arts recorded in the secret book, they would never admit it to death. But on the second night, just after dinner, Xiao Yu'er murmured with a smile: "Ugly books are better than no books at all." Jiang Yulang immediately smiled and said, "I'm going to sleep when my eyes are tired. If I read a wonderful book, I won't be able to fall asleep." Xiao Yu'er clapped his hands and said: "It's very, very good. Watch early and go to bed early, go to bed early and wake up early, there is nothing better." In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that the other would never believe them, but they still pretended to be serious. Especially Xiao Yu'er, he finds this not only interesting, but also exciting - if a person has to be on guard against others harming him or lying to him anytime, anywhere, even when eating, defecating and sleeping, this kind of life will naturally be both stressful and stressful. Fun, natural life full of excitement. The two were fighting each other like this, and they walked for three days without knowing it.In the past three days, nothing happened, and it was very peaceful. During these three days, Xiao Yu'er felt that someone was following him all the time. It was like when a child walks in the middle of the night, he feels that there is a ghost following him. As long as he turns his head, there is no one behind him. If he walked backwards, the man suddenly came behind him again. Xiao Yu'er couldn't figure out who this person was, let alone what his intentions were, anyway, as long as he felt that something was missing, someone would send it right away. He felt that this person seemed to be asking for something from him and was flattering him.But he still couldn't figure out what this man wanted from him. The two went down the Minjiang River, and arrived in Xuzhou on this day. The people in the middle of Sichuan were rich in food, and the scene was naturally different from the barren northwestern area. Looking at the rolling river, Xiao Yu'er was even more elated, and said with a smile, "How about we take a boat for a while?" Jiang Yulang clapped his hands and said, "It's wonderful, my little brother is also planning to take a boat." I saw a brand-new black-topped boat approaching, and the two of them were waiting to be called, when a boatman in coir raincoat and hat on the boat waved his hand and said, "Are you young master Jiang? A guest officer has packed this boat for you two." down." Xiao Yuer glanced at Jiang Yulang, smiled wryly and said, "It's not my fault that this person is a roundworm." He simply didn't ask who chartered the boat anymore, because he knew that he couldn't find out anyway, so he simply didn't care about it, just sat on it and talked about it. The windows in the cabin are bright and clean, except for the white-haired boatman, there is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl on board, her big eyes are always looking at Xiao Yu'er.But Xiao Yu'er was too lazy to look at her.He almost got a headache when he saw a beautiful woman. At night, Jiang Yulang chuckled softly, "That Miss Smith seems to have taken a fancy to Big Brother." Xiao Yu'er yawned, and lazily said: "You are more handsome than me, it is true that she likes you. It's a pity that you have to be with me, otherwise you little pervert will be able to flirt with you. " Jiang Yulang blushed, and said, "Little...brother, I don't mean that." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Forget it, if you didn't mean it, how would you mention her, and how would you know her name?" Jiang Yulang's face turned even redder, and he stammered, "My little brother just heard it by chance." Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said, "Why are you ashamed, liking a girl is not something to be ashamed of." He picked up a pillow to cover his eyes, and seemed to be falling asleep. Jiang Yulang said: "Brother, don't you read books anymore?" Xiao Yu'er said: "I can sleep today, don't read it, what about you?" Jiang Yulang hurriedly laughed and said, "Elder brother doesn't watch it, so younger brother naturally doesn't either." The two of them slept side by side on the same bed, Jiang Yulang stared at Xiao Yu'er with his eyes wide open, and after an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yu'er had a heavy nose and fell asleep. Jiang Yulang quietly took out the secret book, flipped through a few pages with light hands, and when he was about to read it, Xiao Yuer suddenly turned over and pressed one hand on the book and one leg on Jiang Yulang's stomach superior.Jiang Yulang gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn't dare to wake him up, he just hoped that he would turn over again and take his hand away. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu'er slept like a dead pig this time, and never moved again. Jiang Yulang was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes flashed fiercely, he fumbled with one hand, and suddenly he took out a kitchen knife from under the quilt, and chopped off Xiao Yu'er's head with one stroke. At this moment, only two sounds of "嗖嗖" were heard, and then, with the sound of "Dang", two dried lotus seeds flew in from the window, one hit the kitchen knife, and the other hit Jiang Yulang's wrist. , Accurate head, there are two strokes, it looks like a hidden weapon master sent it. Jiang Yulang's hand was knocked crooked, he clenched his teeth, and resisted the pain. Although the kitchen knife did not leave his hand, beads of sweat could not help but form on his head.Xiao Yu'er seemed to be half asleep, babbling: "What's the matter, who's ringing the bell?" Jiang Yulang hurriedly hid the kitchen knife again, saying, "No...it's nothing." Fortunately, Xiao Yu'er didn't ask any more questions, and his breath became heavier. But how could Jiang Yulang sleep again? Who brought in these two lotus seeds? How could there be such a hidden weapon master on this ship? Could it be that the white-haired man who is about to shed tears and snot when he coughs is also some unknown martial arts stranger? Could it be that the little girl who only winks and winks all day long also has such superb skills?Can you use two fluffy lotus seeds as hidden weapons? This simply made Jiang Yulang unbelievable! But if not them, then who?There is no one else on board! What's more, even if it is them, why do they want to watch secretly?Why protect the little fish in the dark?It seemed that they didn't know Xiao Yu'er at all. Jiang Yulang just stared at the top of the boat with his eyes wide open, thinking about the dawn all night, but still couldn't figure out the reason behind it. When he was about to sleep, Xiao Yu'er had already woken up, pushed him to wake him up again, and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well?" Jiang Yulang forced a smile and said, "Great, I slept till dawn." Xiao Yu'er said: "Get up, it's not good to sleep too much." Jiang Yulang said: "Yes, yes, it's time to get up." Although he was smiling on his face, he wanted to punch him in the heart.When we got to the bow of the boat, seeing Xiao Yuer's energetic appearance, he wished to kick him into the river. The little girl came over with a basin of wash water, her face was smiling, her eyes were smiling, and those two deep dimples were also smiling—what was she laughing at? Jiang Yulang stared at the two hands holding the basin, he saw that these hands were white and tender, and they really didn't seem to be able to shoot such a powerful hidden weapon. But how can a daughter of a boatman who has worked hard all year round have such white and tender hands?Could it be that the grandfather and grandson were really disguised? The boat is new, and their clothes are also new, it seems that they haven't played this role of boatman for a long time, maybe they just changed their clothes for Xiao Yu'er. But what is their purpose in doing this? Xiao Yu'er seemed to know nothing, seemed very happy, after washing his face, he drank four bowls of porridge and four poached eggs in one sitting. But Jiang Yulang couldn't eat anything, he just heard Xiao Yu'er laughing at the boatman: "Old man, what is your name?" The old man said: "The old man's surname is Shi...cough, people call me old man Shi...cough, my granddaughter has a name...cough, her name is Shi Shuyun." Jiang Yulang secretly smiled wryly, this old man who coughs twice every time he says a word, is also a strange man, a master of martial arts? I only heard the old man Shi say: "Gu Yun, don't eat lotus seeds anymore, if you eat too many lotus seeds, your heart will suffer." Jiang Yulang was startled again, and turned his head, seeing that Gu Yun's small white and tender hands were indeed holding a handful of lotus seeds, eating while looking at him and smiling. His heart suddenly "pounded", turned around, and saw Xiao Yu'er holding a book in his hand as a fan, it was the secret book. Only then did Jiang Yulang remember that Xiao Yu'er was on top of it last night, turned over this morning, and took the opportunity to take the secret book away. He actually used this martial arts secret book of "tossing and turning, what you can't ask for" as a fan, Jiang Yulang was angry and anxious. The boat had already sailed away from the pier, and suddenly a boat came head-on.Old man Shi used a long penny to point the bow of the opposite boat, and the two boats crossed each other, and both boats slanted. Xiao Yu'er exclaimed, "Oh, no, it fell!" The secret book in his hand fell into the river, and Jiang Yulang's heart almost fell. I saw the river rolling, and the secret book disappeared in the blink of an eye. With a bitter face, Xiao Yuer stamped his feet and said, "This...what should I do?" Jiang Yulang was bleeding with hatred in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if these external things fall off." He naturally knew in his heart that Xiao Yu'er must have dropped it on purpose, Xiao Yu'er must have memorized it by heart, and Xiao Yu'er naturally knew that he understood it in his heart. But neither of them said anything, this is the most interesting thing, apart from the two of them themselves, no one in the world would be able to guess what the two of them were thinking. The sky is blue, the river is golden, and the banks of the Yangtze River are picturesque. Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the boat goes slowly, we're not in a hurry anyway." Jiang Yulang said, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry at all." Suddenly, a fast boat came up from behind, with a dart flag on the bow, fluttering in the wind, purple satin and golden flowers, embroidered with a lion. Immediately, Jiang Yulang's face showed joy, his eyes lit up, he stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Which head of the Golden Lion Bodyguard Bureau is on board?" The fast boat immediately slowed down, and the naked upper-chested men on board were obviously masters of sailing. Half of their bodies leaned out of the cabin, and they shouted loudly, "Who is calling..." Jiang Yulang waved: "I, Jiang Yulang, do you still remember Uncle Li?" The man in the cabin had a purple face and a short mustache, and his expression was serious, but when he saw Jiang Yulang, his serious face immediately filled with a smile, and he said in a broken voice, "Ah, this is the son of Hero Jiang, why are you here?" Shi Laotou didn't see anything, he was still sailing his boat, but the fast boat from the Golden Lion Escort swung over, and the purple-faced man jumped over. Xiao Yu'er chuckled and said: "This man's light-weight kung fu seems to have to be practiced." He spoke in a quiet voice, the purple-faced man didn't hear it, and walked over with a smile. Jiang Yulang said with a smile: "This is the chief escort of the Jiangnan Golden Lion Escort Bureau. People in the Jianghu are called 'Purple Face Lion' Li Ting. He has hard work and water skills, and Jiangnan can be called the number one." His words were naturally an answer to Xiao Yu'er's "lightness kung fu is not good", but Xiao Yu'er deliberately pretended not to hear, and turned to drink tea. He only heard Jiang Yulang and Li Ting exchanging a few loud greetings, the voice suddenly became quieter, like a whisper, as if he didn't want to be heard by Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er didn't bother to listen, even if he knew Jiang Yulang was going to harm him, he didn't want to stop him, he just wanted to see what tricks Jiang Yulang could play. Since he was three years old, he has never been afraid of anyone or anything. He simply doesn't know what "fear" is. The more dangerous it is, the more interesting it is. Later, I only heard the "purple-faced lion" Li Ting say: "After passing Yunhan, I will abandon the boat and land, but Mr. Li will never delay what you are doing, so don't worry, my master." The two talked and laughed a few more times, and Li Ting jumped back again. Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "Be careful, don't fall into the water." Li Ting turned around and gave him a hard look, as if he was saying something: "You should be more careful..." But before he finished speaking, the two boats separated again. Jiang Yulang's spirit suddenly seemed to recover, and he said with a smile: "Jiangnan Golden Lion Escort Bureau, except for the head of the "Golden Lion" Li Di, the two lions and one tiger under it can really be regarded as loyal and loyal friends. " Old man Shi murmured: "When you say that lions and tigers are in packs, they are nothing more than packs of foxes and dogs." Xiao Yu'er heard this sentence, and Jiang Yulang heard it too.But neither of them seemed to hear it.
