Chapter 23 Night Interlude
As the saying goes, spring comes in March.
Now it is April, the weather is getting warmer, and snails, river mussels, and all kinds of river fresh food are in full swing. However, when the cook brought the carp soup, the junior brother was already mostly sober.
"Senior brother, let's forget about this next story..."
After he finished speaking, several eyes looked at Lu Li.
In feudal society, the world was full of awe for the theory of ghosts and gods. Even though Wang Zijing has been with Mr. Tiantai all year round and has extensive knowledge, he still feels scared once he talks about his own experiences during his study tour.
"Master Lu, it's not a good thing to talk about ghosts at night. It's better to wait until the sun rises tomorrow."
At this time, Su Xiaodie, a famous Qinhuai prostitute, echoed sweetly, obviously frightened.
In her arms, Dan Niang looked up at herself, her eyes also full of panic.
As a result, Lu Li followed the current and said:
"The days ahead are long, so if I don't drink more than two drinks tonight, I'll have a rest on the shore."
The purpose of setting up a trap tonight was to find out how deep the water in this world was, and through his junior brother's words, Lu Li knew that Confucianism was not simple, and evildoers appeared in remote areas.
In addition, don’t underestimate the wild Taoist priests!
Perhaps treating widower Li can be regarded as a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion outside the boat.
"Falled into the water."
"Someone fell into the water!"
"Save...save..."
A guard guarding the window opened the wooden lattice window, and everyone saw someone calling for help next to the boat.
At the same time, there were splashes of water.
"Quick, quick, who knows how to swim? Go down and save people."
"Brother Shen, hold on, I'll ask someone to fish you out of the river."
It's getting more and more lively outside.
The junior brother who finally sobered up stood up and walked outside, maybe to escape from the alcohol, maybe because he wanted to save someone.
Seeing this, Lu Li also took Danniang out of the room to join in the fun.
At this moment, there were four painted boats on the river after hearing the news. Most of them were two-story structures, about five meters high, with lanterns on them.
At the same time, looking at the people struggling in the middle of the water, the junior brother looked anxious: "Brother, let the guards go down to save people, I don't know how to swim."
Talented men and beautiful women, rafting games.
I couldn't find many people like Lu Li in Jinling City who were accompanied by escorts when they went out for fun.
Hearing this, Lu Li looked at the burly man following closely behind him and ordered: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Who is better at water? Let's go down and take a walk."
How often do noble people forget things?
Actually, it wasn't that Lu Li didn't want to be called by his name.
However, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, there are no names of these guards in the inherited memories, and no one even knows their surnames, let alone know such trivial details as their aqueous nature.
"I go."
However, there is a saying that these guards responsible for protecting themselves are indeed loyal. As soon as the master gave the order, someone immediately stepped forward.
Plop!
There was no need for any protective measures at all. The burly man took off his self-defense knife and jumped directly into the river.
In the center of several boats.
Shen Qing kept fluttering. Although he was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, he was not good at water. He was ups and downs in the river. His silk scarf fell down at some point and his long hair fell down, tightly wrapped around his neck.
I don't know when the walking boots fell off, and my legs were kicking around randomly.
"Walk."
The guard who went into the water to rescue people was as nimble as a swimming fish. After a few ups and downs, he dived next to Shen Qing and tried to lift him up and take him away.
Gu Chu
However, fear caused Shen Qing to lose his mind. Not only did he not follow the power, but he struggled even more fiercely.
The sound of water rushing.
"Cough cough cough!"
Along with it, there was the sound of choking water.
Lu Li naturally noticed this scene, stood beside the boat, and shouted from a distance: "Don't worry about it, just drag him over if he's knocked unconscious."
An adult is struggling desperately, and the location is in the middle of the river. If it is too late, chaos will occur. Stunning and taking him away is undoubtedly the most efficient and trouble-free method.
After taking several large gulps of river water, Shen Qing'an became more relaxed, and the guard took the opportunity to hit the back of his head hard.
In an instant, the guy became quiet.
A few minutes later.
A hemp rope as thick as a child's arm was thrown from the boat, and the two guards worked together to pull the person up.
"Ask the chef to prepare ginger soup."
Glancing at the unconscious scholar lying on the deck, Lu Li gave a few instructions, then looked at the wet guard and asked:
"May I have your name?"
The guard didn't care about the fact that his master didn't know his name, and replied:
"Villain Yang Zhen."
"Okay." Lu Li nodded, "I will remember you."
In any case, what does it matter if these people are working around him without even knowing their names? It was okay in the past, but forget it in the future.
A few words spoken verbally are far less tangible than gold and silver rewards.
In this world, Lu Li didn't have to worry about money, so he took out a gold leaf from his bag and handed it to Yang Zhen.
Thousands of gold to buy a horse!
Although these people all seemed loyal, Lu Li hoped that they would be even more loyal. Doing this in public was nothing more than telling everyone present that he, Lu Li, was never stingy with his own people.
Dan Niang, who was by her side, lost her mind for a moment, as did the famous prostitute Su Xiaodie, and the look in her eyes at Lu Li became complicated.
And Yang Zhen knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Thank you, Master."
He just saved a strange scholar from the water and received so many rewards. He felt like he was living in a dream. Especially when he recalled the young master saying "I remember you", he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
The same goes for those guards.
I regretted not being the first to speak, and at the same time I looked forward to the next time the young master had something to say.
The younger junior brother sighed in his heart, as expected of a distinguished family that has stood firm since the founding of the People's Republic of China. How could there be any need for Yandu to pursue fame and fortune? As soon as he was born, he already had these things.
"Brother Shen lost his footing after drinking and accidentally fell into the water. Thank you for your help, sir."
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came from far away.
Following the call, I saw two double-decker boats approaching here. The caller was a scholar about twenty-five or six years old. He had a long beard and was not handsome at all, but he was tall and over six feet tall.
, Frankly speaking, this head is eye-catching even in the north, let alone in the south of the Yangtze River.
"nothing."
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked around at the group of people, nodded as a greeting, and continued: "When we get to the shore, this will be your general."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the boat.
If a narrow-minded person encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely feel that Lu Li was treating others contemptuously, but those scholars had never thought of it that way.
Compared to the double-decker boat, the boat Lu Li was traveling on was more majestic, three stories high, with eaves, pavilions, and flags flying.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell which distinguished disciple is out for fun.
"Look at this flag... it seems to be the son of the Hou Lu family in Henan." Someone noticed the flag hanging in a conspicuous place on the boat and said, "There are rumors that the young Hou Ye indulges in drinking and sex all day long. When I saw him today, I knew it.
What is being circulated is nothing more than rumors.”
His face is like a crown jade, and his gown is fluttering.
