The boat was already moving slowly, and the sounds of the boatman and the sailor talking could be heard from outside. Any slight movement in the boathouse could be heard clearly from outside.

Xiao Tuo only frightened her and did nothing else.

His brows were slightly gloomy, and he still looked unhappy. Jiang Yuanyi hugged his neck and coaxed him with a smile: "Stingy guy, what are you angry about?"

She had slightly opened her collar, and now she was sitting on his lap, hugging his neck and acting coquettishly, and he could see the snow-white mountains and the ambiguous red plums on them.

Xiao Tuo's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he straightened her clothes, picked her up and put her aside: "Don't seduce me."

Jiang Yuanyi blushed a little, got out of bed with her shoes on, walked to his side, stood on tiptoe and poked his face with her hand: "Stingy. Stinky man."

Xiao Tuo was amused by the word "stinky man". He pinched Jiang Yuanyi's soft fingers, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a faint voice: "Don't you know what I smell like?"

Jiang Yuanyi's face flushed, and she stepped on Xiao Tuo several times with her feet until there were a few more gray footprints on the black satin.

When they got on the boat, they brought some hot dishes up, and now they are cold.

The four of them went to the small stove to light a fire and heat up the food.

This dish was brought from the inn this morning, and it tastes pretty good after being heated up. Lin Zhengyu took a few hot buns and handed them to Master Xie and the two sailors. He had single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and clear and clean facial features

. He looked a little fierce when he didn't smile, but when he was deliberately gentle to people, he was quite friendly. Master Xie took the hot buns, wiped his hands on his clothes, took it with his head slightly lowered, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Xie."

Lin Zhengyu waved his hands: "Nothing."

He turned back and saw Xiao Tingyi leaning against the railing, with Xiao Tuo and Jiang Yuanyi beside her.

Lin Zhengyu hurried over: "What's wrong?!"

Xiao Tuo said: "Sister may be seasick."

Jiang Yuanyi picked up her handkerchief and wiped the corner of Xiao Tingyi's mouth. Lin Zhengyu put his arm around Xiao Tingyi's waist and half-supported and half-carried her over, pouring her some hot tea: "You've been running around in recent days and you're tired. Take a good rest later."

Xiao Tingyi nodded. She took the tea and took a sip. After vomiting, her stomach and mouth felt sour and bitter. Xiao Tingyi couldn't eat. It was the first time that Lin Zhengyu saw her look weak. He felt so distressed that he picked her up. Xiao Tingyi was not so weak that she couldn't walk, but she stayed in his arms obediently and didn't move.

Lin Zhengyu half-knelt in front of her: "You take a nap."

"It takes more than three days to get to Jinzhou Yu'an Ferry on the water. If you can't stand it halfway, we can rest on the shore. After all, we are out for fun, so there is no need to rush."

​​Xiao Tingyi saw that he was worried and smiled helplessly: "It's just seasickness, it's a small matter."

Lin Zhengyu didn't listen to her: "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Tingyi nodded obediently: "Okay."

The Yangxu River is wide and the water is calm. At dusk, the red sun slowly gathered its light and reflected on the river like a semicircular fireball.

Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo sat outside.

The wind on the river was cooler and wetter than the evening wind in the capital. The man's hair was tied so tightly that the roots hurt. Jiang Yuanyi loosened her hair, tied it loosely on one side, and braided it into a braid. Some soft hair stuck to her soft cheeks and fluttered in front of her bright and sparkling eyes.

Master Xie came out to stretch his legs, and saw the little girl who was still somewhat heroic during the day, now lazily leaning against the young man, with the warm yellow light all around her, just like the Yangxu River, illuminated by the holy light, soft and beautiful.

The old master smiled, did not disturb the young couple, and turned back.

The boat made a gentle clattering sound across the water, and there were shouts from boatmen on other boats not far away, and occasional piano sounds from the shore.

Jiang Yuanyi was so focused for the first time in her life that she felt completely relaxed.

She held Xiao Tuo's arm and watched the sun set quietly. She watched the blue sky turn into an inky black night sky, with stars lighting up.

"Ah~~"

Jiang Yuanyi covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, her eyes were moistened.

Xiao Tuo touched her hand: "It's late, go to bed."

Jiang Yuanyi didn't want to move, and stretched out her hand with her eyes slightly closed.

Xiao Tuo raised the corner of his mouth, leaned over, picked her up, and gently put her on the bed.

The bed was hard and cold, and Jiang Yuanyi couldn't sleep well. Xiao Tuo took off his coat, lifted the quilt, and held her in his arms.

Jiang Yuanyi hummed twice, found a comfortable place, and fell asleep obediently.

——————

The surrounding sounds gradually became silent, with only the gentle sound of water.

The boat sailed slowly towards Jinzhou with the current. After running for several days, Xiao Tuo was a little tired. He hugged Jiang Yuanyi and fell asleep quickly.

When Master Xie came back from the toilet, he saw the two strong sailors who were still full of energy during the day lying on the ground.

He listened carefully and heard the footsteps of no less than three people.

He has been driving this boat for decades and knows where to hide. He quickly stepped back quietly. Before hiding in, he picked up a stone and hit the wooden window of the cabin hard.

When the pirate standing on the other side of the railing heard the sound, he immediately turned around, ran over in small steps, looked around, but saw no one.

Inside the house, Xiao Tuo had already put on his clothes and shoes, and picked up the sword placed aside.

He walked back to the bed and patted Jiang Yuanyi's face: "Yier, get up."

Jiang Yuanyi opened her eyes and saw that Xiao Tuo had already picked up the sword. His clothes were casually worn, not as neat as before. She was about to speak, but was covered by Xiao Tuo's mouth.

A figure was reflected on the paper on the window, and there was a sharp sword that had been unsheathed.

Jiang Yuanyi nodded, Xiao Tuo let go of her and walked to the door.

Jiang Yuanyi quickly put on her clothes and shoes, and squatted by the door.

The two people outside the door discussed it, gently opened the door, and walked in.

Jiang Yuanyi squatted behind the door, watching their faint shadows swaying on the floor.

The bed was slightly arched, and the pirate walked over gently with a knife in hand. When they looked through the door, it looked like a person was lying inside, but when they walked a little closer, they realized something was wrong.

But it was too late.

Xiao Tuo had walked behind them like a ghost without them noticing. When the pirates realized what was happening, they only felt a slight chill on their backs.

The two men raised their swords at the same time, turned around and chopped back.

Xiao Tuo grabbed one man's wrist with one hand and kicked the other one away with one foot.

He had heavy feet, and kicked the other man to the side. The man whose wrist was grabbed only felt a piercing pain in his wrist. After a few "clangs", the sword fell to the ground. Xiao Tuo took a step back, then slammed him hard, kicked the sword on the ground with his toes, took it in his left hand, and hit each of the two men on the ground.

After he dealt with the two men, he saw Jiang Yuanyi squatting on the side with his knees hugged, looking at this side with his big eyes without blinking.

Xiao Tuo half squatted down and touched her eyes: "Are you scared?"

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head, her voice trembling slightly with some suppression: "It's just a small scene."

Jiang Yuanyi was silent for a few moments, and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Tuo: "Dead?"

The two people lying over there called out softly at the right time.

Xiao Tuo chuckled and pulled Jiang Yuanyi up.

The two walked out of the door, and saw Lin Zhengyu and Xiao Tingyi also walked out with swords, and two people were lying at the door.

Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu lifted the four dead bodies on the ground to the deck, and asked Master Xie for ropes to tie them up. Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tingyi sat farther away and combed their hair into a men's bun style again.

Xiao Tuo and Lin Zhengyu took a bench and sat in front of the people, swinging their legs and saying nonchalantly: "Hey, the robbery has come to your grandpa?"

The people were covered with their mouths and felt very aggrieved.

Xiao Tuo looked up at Master Xie: "Are you awake?"

Master Xie said: "Awake, but just knocked out."

Xiao Tuo's brows relaxed a little, and he knocked on the heads of the four people with his sword sheath: "Do you know who the grandpa is?"

The four people: "Mmmmm!"

Lin Zhengyu walked behind them and launched an attack: "Go back and tell your brothers on the water that they can't mess with the people on this ship."

The four people were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and they babbled.

Xiao Tuo picked up the scabbard and hit them hard on the head: "Two against two, ten against ten."

He spoke with such force that Lin Zhengyu's face changed obviously. Xiao Tuo turned around and saw ten pairs of pirates holding shining swords coming from the stern. The passenger ship, which was not big to begin with, was almost sunk.

Xiao Tuo: "..."

What a blessing.

Xiao Tingyi and Jiang Yuanyi ran behind them, and the two sailors who woke up and Master Xie also stood over.

Xiao Tuo put away the relaxed look on his face and looked at the two strong men: "Do you have any weapons?"

The strong men shook their heads.

Xiao Tuo: "..."

Master Xie shook his fingers, ran to the back of a wooden box at the bow, took out a few long wooden sticks and handed them to the strong man.

Ten pairs of men on the opposite side approached cautiously with knives in hand.

Xiao Tuo turned to look at Jiang Yuanyi, and said with some concern: "Stay away."

He raised his head and yelled at the two strong men: "You two are responsible for keeping an eye on them, and leave the rest to us."

Xiao Tingyi put his hands on his waist, slowly drew out the sword, and said in a light voice: "Just keep an eye on Yuanyi."

After that, he jumped up, held the sword in both hands, raised his hand and chopped down.

The strong man protected Jiang Yuanyi and Master Xie and hid in the bow of the boat. Jiang Yuanyi also squatted down and took out a wooden stick and held it in his hand.

Jiang Yuanyi turned around and asked the old master: "Master, are there any arrows on the boat?"

The old master nodded: "Yes, there are, but they are below."

Going to get them now would only cause trouble, so Jiang Yuanyi said nothing more and kept an eye on that place.

Xiao Tingyi looked much weaker than those pirates, but his movements were neat and clean, and he knocked down a man with three swords. His moves were powerful and he was very good at using his skills.

A big knife flashed and swung down. Xiao Tingyi slightly leaned to the right, pulled forward along with his strength, turned his body, kicked him on the butt, and swung the long sword, leaving two bloody marks on his body.

Xiao Tuo raised his sword to block the knife, and exerted force to the left. The two bandits were tilted to the left. Xiao Tuo quickly turned around, ran behind them, and slapped one of them on the back of the neck.

He raised his eyes and saw two bandits heading towards Jiang Yuanyi.

The two men were both strong and sturdy, with fierce eyes. After seeing such a beautiful and charming girl, their eyes changed instantly and they laughed lewdly a few times.

The author has something to say: Brother Tuo: I advise you to take your eyes back.
