Volume 1 Chapter 3 Far From Yangzhou(1/2)
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were naked. They washed their clothes by the stream first, and then hung them on the trees beside the stream to dry in the afternoon sun. The "Secret of Immortality" was placed on a stone.
Then the two of them roared and swam in the stream to wash away the stench from the culvert.
The two of them were young at heart, and fled to the mountains and forests, which were seven or eight miles away from Yangzhou City. They were so exhausted that it was difficult to move around, and they thought they were far away from danger and their mood improved.
While I was enjoying myself in the water, a moan came from the shore.
The two of them were startled and looked towards where the sound came from.
I saw a woman with a bamboo hat on her head and a dress as white as snow standing pretty on the bank. Her pretty eyes looked through the veil and looked at them coldly. She didn't have any scruples about their nakedness.
The two boys screamed strangely, squatted down, and subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover their lower bodies.
Xu Ziling shouted strangely: "Don't look at anything inappropriate. Sister, please be noble and spare us!"
Kou Zhong also yelled: "You only need to pay one penny for one look. It seems that the girl has looked at it for at least a hundred times, so I will charge you 50 or 40% off, leave a hundred copper coins, and then you can leave."
A cold smile emerged from the corner of the white-clothed woman's lips, and she said softly: "You kid, please give me a beating."
He stretched out his green onion-like hand and casually flicked his two fingers. "Bubu" was heard twice, and the two groaned at the same time. They fell into the stream, and after a while they emerged from the bottom of the water, suffering a lot.
The woman in white said: "If I ask you a question, you must answer it honestly, otherwise I will teach you two brats to suffer again."
At this time, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling retreated to the other side of the bank, but they did not dare to climb up the bank naked. They could not advance or retreat, and were extremely hesitant.
Kou Zhong knew how to see the wind and make sails. He said with a smile: "Young man knows everything and can tell you everything. Miss, please feel free to inquire."
The woman in white saw that he was pretending to be well-mannered but also nondescript, so she coldly snorted: "What kind of courage does it take to ask you, a brat?"
Xu Ziling was shocked and said: "My brother never knows how to speak. Miss, please feel free to say hello."
The woman in white was expressionless and said as quietly as still water: "Do you live nearby?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, then nodded and shook their heads.
The finger wind returned again, and their acupoints were hit. Their knees weakened, and they fell into the water again. After a while, they struggled to stand up in a state of embarrassment.
The woman in white said calmly: "If I hear another lie, you will never get up again."
Both of them were shocked by the cruelty of the woman in white, but they had already developed a strong character under the bully of the stinky boss.
Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Master, you misunderstood. I nodded because I do live in Yuejia Village nearby. He shook his head because he lived in the city. Today, my brother came to play with me outside the city, so
Only now will we show you our innocent virgin bodies, Sir."
Xu Ziling laughed out loud when he heard this, and hurriedly covered his mouth for fear of offending this evil Rakshasa.
The woman in white was unmoved at all, and said coldly: "If you talk too much, I will pull out the base of your tongue. Why did you call me Master?"
Xu Ziling was afraid that Kou Zhong would say something unscrupulous, so he hurriedly said: "He only respectfully calls the eldest lady "Master" because you look like Master Guanyin in white. It is only out of respect and has no other meaning."
The scene at this time was really weird. A cold and mysterious woman looked coldly at two young men who had hidden their bodies in the stream. They were both embarrassed and embarrassed. If others saw it, they would definitely think of breaking the law.
I can't even figure out the relationship between them.
The woman in white's eyes fell on the "Secret of Immortality" on the stone beside the shore, and asked, "What is that?"
Kou Zhong did not miss a trace of his thoughts and said respectfully: "That is the book of sages that Old Master Bai ordered us to read. Sir, would you like to take it and read it?"
The woman in white obviously didn't know that this book was of great importance. From the surface, the appearance of this book was not much different from ordinary books. So she only glanced at it twice, then her eyes fell on the two of them and said in a deep voice: "
Do you know Shi Long?"
Seeing that she no longer paid attention to their "Secret Book", the two of them wiped their sweat secretly and said at the same time: "Of course we know each other!"
The woman in white said: "Then tell me, why is his courtyard full of officers and soldiers and why the gates of Yangzhou City are closed again?"
Kou Zhong pretended to be surprised and said: "What happened? We are catching fish here early in the morning, right? Xiaoling, your trip is miserable today, why are you going back to the city?"
Although Xu Ziling knew he was lying, seeing his emotional state, he almost believed his lies. He pretended to be bitter and said in shock, "Mother is going to beat me to death this time." Suddenly he felt that Kou Zhong had touched him.
Touching him, he realized: "No! I must return to the city immediately. Hey! Master, can you turn your back for a moment so that we can go ashore and get dressed?"
The woman in white looked at them without any expression for a while, then snorted coldly. No movement was seen from her, and she disappeared deep into the forest.
The two sank into the water slumped, and when they came up again, Kou Zhong sighed: "This bitch is really powerful. If we practice unparalleled martial arts in the future, we will definitely make her strip naked and watch her mother get full."
Xu Ziling was really afraid that she would come back, so he pushed him, climbed to the shore, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe she is ugly. Just go and see for yourself."
After the two of them got dressed, Kou Zhong hid the treasure book and frowned: "What on earth did Shi Long commit? Not only was the martial arts field sealed, but his home was also ransacked."
Xu Ziling sighed: "It seems that learning martial arts is of no use, so get out of here! Just thinking about those people who criticize the boss makes my heart beat with fear."
Kou Zhong laughed and said: "How can martial arts be useless? Look at my land tracking technique. Oops!"
He only took two steps, but accidentally hit a stone and fell down.
Xu Ziling laughed so hard that he fell to his knees and could not stand up.
The two boys were lying in the bushes on the hill, staring dumbfoundedly at the three warships and hundreds of speedboats near the city on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, inspecting the departing ships.
Kou Zhong gasped and said, "My lord! Our book must be a heavenly book."
Xu Ziling leaned close to his ear and said: "Master Zhong, please lower your volume so as not to disturb others. Maybe there are rebels sneaking in, which is why there is such a big battle."
Kou Zhong touched his empty hungry stomach and said in shock: "The river is like this, and the land is probably impassable. How about finding a place to hide. Oh! My God, this is not the sound of a dog barking."
The two of them listened carefully, and their faces changed drastically at the same time. The sound of barking dogs obviously came from the direction of the stream. It was also mixed with the sharp sound of hoofbeats.
I thought it would be terrible if the dog's sensitive nose smelled their scent in the den.
The two of them shivered, shouted, and fled deep into the forest.
Running up a small hill again, when going downhill, Xu Ziling missed a step, let out a startled groan, and rolled downhill.
Kou Zhong rushed over, picked him up and said, "Quickly go!"
Xu Ziling said sadly: "I can't walk anymore, take the secret book and leave quickly! In the future, if you learn the unrivaled magical skills, you will come back to avenge me. No matter how fast we are, we can't outrun the dog-legs and scold-legs. Now I am the only one who can distract the enemy." Only then can you hope to escape."
Without thinking, Kou Zhong dragged him towards the sparse forest ahead, shouting: "If you want to die, we must die together, otherwise we can't be brothers."
With a thought in his heart, he changed direction and ran toward the river. At this time, the sound of horse hooves and the barking of dogs could be heard clearly.
Xu Ziling said in horror: "Aren't we going to commit suicide by throwing ourselves into the river?"
Kou Zhong gasped and said: "That is the only way to survive. After entering the water, you must hug me tightly. Otherwise, if I rush you back to Yangzhou City, you will be sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Xu Ziling thought of the group of villains who beat up Boss Yan, and secretly thought that drowning was better than being beaten to death. If he stopped talking, he used up all his remaining strength to chase after Gao Zhong and ran towards the cliff bank by the river.
Kou Zhong screamed wildly, broke up, took Xu Ziling's hand, and shouted excitedly: "Don't look at it, just jump with all your strength and it will be done."
The sound of the rolling river came from under the cliff bank, which made them feel chilled.
"ah!"
With wild hissing sounds, the two of them jumped off the cliff and fell into the Yangtze River more than ten feet below.
The wind blows in my ears.
"Dong dong"
The two of them fell into the roaring river one after another and sank into the water.
In the rapid river water, the two struggled to float to the surface.
Stars were rising in front of Xu Ziling's eyes, and he hugged Kou Zhong's shoulders tightly. Kou Zhong was actually not much better than him. He was ups and downs. When he drank the river water, he was carried more than ten feet downstream by the river. Not to mention crossing the river, he even lost his head. It is also difficult to stay on the river surface.
Seeing that the nickname was in danger, a fishing boat sailed out from the side, and at the same time a long rope flew out, and it was accurately wrapped around Kou Zhong's neck.
Kou Zhong had already put Xu Ziling in a hoop that made it difficult to breathe, and the river water poured into his nose and mouth. Now he was tied up with a rope, thinking that the officers and soldiers had caught him. When he secretly told me that I was going to die, the pleasant voice of the woman in white rang in his ears. Said: "Idiot! You still don't have a rope."
Kou Zhong was overjoyed and freed up his hand to pull on the rope with all his strength.
A strong force came, and the two of them were miraculously pulled out of the river and flew diagonally onto the small boat.
The two of them fell onto the deck like a gourd, with only half of their lives left.
The woman in white held up the small sail with one hand, sat on the boat calmly, and stared at the two of them angrily.
Kou Zhong rolled up first. Seeing that Xu Ziling was still alive, he groaned and begged: "My great lady Guanyin Bodhisattva, please be kind and sail the boat quickly, the evildoers are coming."
The woman in white was listening intently to the sound of approaching dogs and barking, and sneered: "What qualifications do you have to attract the Sui people's dog soldiers? They are really coming for me."
Kou Zhong remembered something and screamed: "Oh my god! My secret book!" He reached out and touched his back.
The woman knew that he was eager for the soaked sage's book, so she didn't care about the word "secret book", so she maneuvered the sail and sailed upriver.
After Xu Ziling spat twice, he got up and said in shock: "That book?"
I saw Kou Zhong reaching into his back and touching his clothes a few times, with a very strange expression on his face. He gave him a look that said everything was okay, sat up, and winked at him with the woman in white on his back, saying: "Everything is fine." It's so wet that Old Master Bai will definitely swell the palms of my hands during this trip."
The woman in white snorted angrily: "You still want to lie to me, to see if I don't throw you two brats back into the river?" Kou Zhong was shocked. He thought he had figured out the secret of the secret book, so he turned around and said, "I really didn't lie to you. That book is finished."
The woman in white said angrily: "I'm not talking about the book, but what tricks are you two brats playing? Didn't you say you want to go back to the city? Why are you going further and further away?"
When the two of them were speechless, shouts and curses came from the river bank.
The two men looked up and saw more than a dozen riders chasing down the river, shouting "Stop the boat!"
The woman in white remained motionless and turned a deaf ear, not even bothering to look up.
Suddenly there was a long roar, approaching from far away, at an alarming speed.
The woman in white was surprised and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a brilliant person in China."
