Chapter 49, Master
"Hey, make way!" Xi Xingchen was leaning on the railing beside the boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Yuanshui River, when someone behind him suddenly shouted.
Xi Xingchen turned around and saw a fat black man with a sinewy face standing behind him, staring at him fiercely and motioning for him to get out of the way.
"Are you talking to me?" Xi Xingchen was unhappy that his good mood was ruined for no reason, and he became rude in his words.
"If I tell you to get out of the way, just get out of the way. There's so much nonsense!" The fat black man said with his eyes wide open and rolled up his sleeves.
"You are so unreasonable, why should we let you?" Before Xi Xingchen could say anything, Zhou Qiaoqian on the side became angry. She stood in front of Xi Xingchen with her hands on her hips and shouted at the fat black man, "Okay." A small chili pepper.
Zhou Qiaoqian is about 1.7 meters tall and is considered tall among women, but she really looks weak in front of the fat black man who is over 1.9 meters tall and almost twice as big as her.
But when she confronted the fat black man, not only did she not have stage fright, but she was like an angry little tiger, with the potential to explode and hurt others.
"Small body, big energy, that's what I'm talking about." Xi Xingchen suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
In Xi Xingchen's short memory, the only woman who could protect him so desperately was his mother in his previous life.
However, now there is one more.
Although this situation was not what he wanted, Xi Xingchen couldn't help but be moved.
Xi Xingchen's goal has always been: not to cause trouble and not to be afraid of trouble.
If you respect me a foot, I will give you a foot in return.
If you use your power to bully me, it will be over.
Xi Xingchen put his hand on his waist. There was a soft sword on his waist.
If Fatty Hei dared to attack Zhou Qiaoqian, Xi Xingchen would slit Fatty Hei's throat without hesitation.
After studying with Nanmo Chief Ximen Zhaixing for so many years, Xi Xingchen has learned some of the Nanmo Ranger's way of reasoning.
The fat black man obviously didn't expect Zhou Qiaoqian to be so fierce. He looked slightly stunned and said in a loud voice: "I won't hit women, women go away!"
"Hey, everything has a first-come, first-served basis. There are so many places on the ship, and you can't find them yourself?" Jin Bo walked slowly to Xi Xingchen with his arms folded, and raised his chin at the fat black man.
Jin Bo is also a tall man of about 1.8 meters. He stands like an iron tower, and his momentum is not inferior to that of Fatty Hei.
Duan Zhenghua didn't say anything. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and silently walked to the fat man.
Obviously, as long as Fatty Hei makes a move, Duan Zhenghua will not hesitate to give Fatty Hei a little surprise.
The fat black man also noticed something was wrong, his eyes widened, and just as he was about to have a fit, an old man behind him said: "Third brother, come back and don't cause trouble."
The old man was about fifty years old, wearing ordinary linen clothes. His figure was still tall and straight, his eyes were shining, and his temples were bulging high. At first glance, he was a master of the inner family with deep cultivation.
A sturdy young man in his mid-twenties behind the old man saw that the fat black man was not moving. He came over and grabbed the fat man and said, "Third brother, be obedient and don't make the master angry."
Under the consolation of the burly young man, the fat black man glared at Xi Xingchen, and then left angrily.
When the sturdy young man left, he smiled at Zhou Qiaoqian.
Zhou Qiaoqian was annoyed with the fat black man's unreasonable behavior, and she was also annoyed with the burly young man. She slapped him on the back of the head rudely.
The sturdy young man was not angry, he just gave Zhou Qiaoqian a meaningful look, and pulled the fat black man to follow the old man to the other end of the boat.
"Brother Chen! These three people are from the Lian family." Duan Zhenghua said as he looked at the three people leaving.
"Xiaoxiang Province is known as three mountains and four rivers, and there are many capable people in the world. It is normal for us to encounter a few on the boat. We just need to be careful."
Xi Xingchen said this, but actually he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
When the old man left, he glanced at Xi Xingchen, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Although the old man concealed his murderous intention very well, Xi Xingchen and Ye Feiyang had learned the art of observing words and colors, so they would never be mistaken.
When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven. When you go out, there are some things that just don’t come to you if you don’t touch them.
Xi Xingchen sighed secretly in his heart, vaguely feeling that this matter was not over yet, and there would most likely be a follow-up.
However, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the earth will cover them up. Xi Xingchen also doesn't think that he is a weakling who can be manipulated by others. It's really not worth it to have a grudge against someone just for such a trivial matter.
While he was talking, a woman's heart-rending cry suddenly came out.
"Someone fell into the water." Someone on the boat pointed to the river and shouted.
Xi Xingchen raised his eyes and saw a dark shadow appearing and disappearing in the waves not far from the passenger ship.
It turned out that when boarding the ship, a little boy in his seventies or eighties was accidentally pushed off the gangplank by the crowd.
The current of Yuanshui was very fast. Although the little boy who fell into the water knew some about water, he was young and weak. He managed to struggle several times in the waves but failed to escape. Instead, he was hit by the surging waves and was swept away in a few strokes. The center of the river is about to be swallowed by the river.
Just as Xi Xingchen was about to help, someone on the boat threw a wooden plank, and then someone jumped off the boat.
"It's him!" Duan Zhenghua said in surprise.
The man who jumped from the boat was the old man who had been competing with them for a seat just now.
I saw the old man kicking on the wooden board, and the person bounced up like a ball.
In mid-air, the old man threw a second plank. When he finished throwing the third plank, the man had already reached the head of the boy who fell into the water.
I saw the old man picking up the boy from the water with one hand, and slapping it on the river with the other hand. The man was like an arrow shooting towards the third wooden board he had thrown earlier, and then as before, using the buoyancy of the wooden board, several The rabbit rises and the falcon falls, and in a blink of an eye, people are back on the boat.
"good--"
The scene just now was so thrilling that only when the old man took the boy on the boat did the people watching on the boat remember to cheer.
The little boy who slipped through the gates of hell and came back finally came to his senses from the fright and cried loudly "Wow".
The old man put the little boy on the deck and ignored the profuse thanks from the little boy's parents. He walked straight to the empty seat at the stern of the ship, took a cigarette rod from his waist, lit a pot of cigarettes, and started smoking as if no one else was watching.
"Brother Chen, master, we seem to have made a mistake." Duan Zhenghua said.
Xi Xingchen nodded.
After seeing the old man's skills and remembering the killing intent in the old man's eyes before he left, Xi Xingchen's uneasiness became even stronger.
The ferry docked at Yuezhou Pier for half an hour. When the small steamer left Yuezhou Pier, the two-story tugboat carrying passengers was already full of passengers heading north.
After traveling north for more than ten minutes, the small steamer drove out of Yuanshui and entered Yunze Lake.
Looking around the 800-mile Yunze Lake, the water and clouds are vast, which is fascinating.
Coveted by the beautiful scenery of Yunze Lake, Xi Xingchen and the other two found a seat next to them on the top deck of the passenger ship.
