"Boatman, it's still early, why aren't others ferrying?" Zhao Xiaopin saw someone making money for the first time but didn't want to.
"Bah, those lazy idiots go home to play with their wives as soon as it gets dark. There are people on this river who make money during the day and spend the night to clean things up. There are a few people who really work hard to make money." This young boatman was very talented with Zhao. He is about the same age as my younger brother, but his muscles are almost as strong as those of Liang Chuan. He has been living on the water all year round, and his muscles have become tanned, as if they were plated with bronze.
It was Liang Chuan's first time to ride on this kind of rocking sampan. The boatman was rocking the paddle at the stern. Liang Chuan felt something was wrong just looking at it, but he couldn't tell for a while. The boat was traveling very slowly, and it drifted to the middle of the river slowly. After wandering on the waterway for a long time, Ye Xiaochai and Shen Yuzhen turned pale, leaning against the edge of the boat and vomiting, and they were no longer human.
Liang Chuan just felt that the speed was too slow. He had been on a speedboat before, and that boat was more exciting than this sampan. The up and down shaking could shake all the food out of the stomach. This kind of wind and waves was simply trivial. Now the sky has completely darkened, except for the lights of fishermen on the river, the evening breeze is accompanied by the neighing of water birds, making the autumn wind even more bleak.
When the boat was reaching the middle of the river, the boatman suddenly let go of the oar. Liang Chuan and others looked at it for a moment, then Zhao Xiaopin blurted out: "Why don't you stop rocking? How long will it take to get ashore!"
The boatman threw his bamboo hat onto the boat and pulled out a short knife from somewhere. His face was completely ferocious. The knife was sharpened and glowed with silver on the dark river surface. The boatman gestured with the knife and pointed at it. Everyone threatened: "The man will leave all his money to a certain person and then jump into the river. The woman will take off all her clothes for me! Otherwise, hehe, I will make a fool of you!"
A group of people all gave the boatman a blank look. It was obvious that he really knew how to pick the right moment and wait until the boat reached the middle of the river before taking action. Liang Chuan looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and nod his head towards Zhaodi Xiaopin: "This boy can do it. He picked a place where the river is dark and windy at night and the water is deep, and he killed people and threw them into the river. Not even the remains of the body can be found, this is such a ruthless business, no wonder the boatmen before we landed looked like we were going to get on this boat and looked like they were dead, it turns out that they also knew that this kid’s hands and feet were dirty!”
Seeing them dying, the boatman even commented on him, his teeth chattering in anger: "Grandpa, I'll chop you up and feed them to the bastards." After saying that, he jumped into the cabin from the stern of the boat with the short knife in hand. Among them, he was ready to fight for Liang Chuan.
What Liang Chuan is not afraid of the most now is these people who are trying to kill him. They came all the way from Xinghua and killed many people who tried to take his life and money, but they all died in his hands. This kid even wanted to use violence on this boat with a knife. Recruiting younger brothers through skits is also Liang Chuan's method. He only wants to laugh when he encounters this water thief.
"Recruit brother, invite my brother out."
When Zhao brother heard this, he took out a lump wrapped in linen with difficulty from the bamboo basket. The brother was none other than Liang Chuan's two handy weapons. He did not dare to show anyone along the way for fear of being misunderstood by the passing people. Thought it was a robbery.
The boatman thought he was going to get some kind of weapon. He paused for a moment, then Liang Chuan lifted up the linen cloth. Inside were two axes the size of door panels. Then he looked down and saw that the 'knife' in his hand was not even as big as his ax handle. Their faces were so frightened that they dared to laugh and laugh when they saw that they were trying to make money. It turned out that these damn people were planning to take advantage of others!
Before Liang Chuan could use his two axes to fight head-on, the boatman who had just rushed into the cabin turned around and ran away. Liang Chuan did not dare to let the boatman escape. If he dived and dug a hole in the boat, the whole group would be killed. You're such a drowned man. Liang Chuan dropped his ax and rushed forward, grabbing the boatman's back collar. The boatman himself was also very powerful. He was pulled back by Liang Chuan from behind and flew backwards. He was so shocked that he was out of his wits.
Liang Chuan grabbed the boatman, grabbed his collar and slammed him onto the board of the boat. With just one blow, the boatman's eyes were filled with stars, and he almost fainted. His hand was so weak that he had already lost his hand with the small dagger. Zhaodi quickly picked up the knife. Liang Chuan stepped on the boatman's back, grabbed his hair and asked, "What's your name, and how many lives have you killed on this river?"
The boatman's mouth and nose were covered with blood now, and his brain was still dizzy. He could not say anything sharp. When he was confused, he said: "A good man... a good man... let me go. I only seek wealth, but I have never taken anything from others." Life."
Liang Chuan said sternly: "How many people did you let jump into the river? Didn't anyone drown in the river?"
The boatman said: "There are so many of you today that I let you jump into the river. If people die every day on this river, won't the government come to investigate?"
"If they were all alive, they would all have reported themselves to the police. How could you still be alive?" Liang Chuan sneered.
"I committed very few crimes in a year, and I only targeted women. They were afraid of losing their reputation, so they didn't report it to the official..." The boatman said in a lower voice, and he felt a little embarrassed later on.
Liang Chuan chuckled: "Are you still a fucking human?" He slapped the boatman so hard that his big teeth almost came out.
"Being a thief on this river is just a helpless act. I, Xia Dehai, have no way to serve my country. The dragon is trapped in the shallows, and I am born at the wrong time!"
Liang Chuan's eyes lit up when he heard him announce his family name, and said: "Your name is Xia Dehai? This name is quite domineering. You can really go to the sea. This river has really wronged you." Liang Chuan saw that he was a water thief, and his words were interesting. , suddenly felt compassion, and as soon as he loosened his grip, who would have expected that Xia Dehai would be resurrected with full health immediately. He looked like he was about to die, and he slipped away faster than a weasel. He had already reached the side of the boat, and was just one step away from dying. Jump into the river.
Liang Chuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and his physical strength was now top-notch. How could he let this little weasel escape? Xia Dehai jumped up, and Liang Chuan caught up with Xia Dehai's back foot. Poor Xia Dehai's body had already flown out of the boat, but his feet were held upside down by Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan held Xia Dehai's feet with both hands, stood beside the boat and lifted Xia Dehai upside down, immersed him in the water, soaked him for a long time, lifted him up again, and then immersed him in the river again. Repeatedly, the bitter river water choked Xia Dehai to death. Although Xia Dehai was very good at water, he could not withstand such unprepared water torture, and he was injured. Now he was grabbing with both hands. He wanted to kick his feet, but was tightly held by Liang Chuan, and his ankles were painfully held.
Liang Chuan soaked him for more than a dozen times before he mentioned Xia Dehai: "Are you still going to run away?"
Xia Dehai weakly replied: "Do you... dare to report your name? In the future, I will develop my skills and I will definitely get this revenge back."
Liang Chuan threw him on the board of the ship, looked at him coldly and said, "Humph, you were pretending to be dead just now, but now you are very brave, and you dare to seek revenge from me. I can't change my name or change my gender, Xinghua Feng Mountains and rivers, what do you think?"
Xia Dehai, who had an angry look on his face at first, suddenly became serious when he heard Liang Chuan's name and asked, "Is it Xinghua attacking Tiger Liangchuan?"
This surprised Liang Chuan. This boy actually knew his name: "Do you know me?"
Xia Dehai sat up a little excitedly. He didn't intend to run away. Instead, he came over excitedly and took Liang Chuan's hand and said, "He is indeed a hero. You can kill even tigers. Naturally, I am a little loach too. His skills are truly amazing!”
Liang Chuan didn't expect that his reputation had spread so far. Even Quanzhou Prefecture had its own legend. But when he came back from his thoughts, he just asked
"You haven't said anything yet, how do you recognize me?"
Xia Dehai withdrew his hand and said with a dry smile: "I have been ferrying with people on this river for many years. I often listen to the boat passengers talking about the local customs on the boat. I took a few people from Xinghua across the river a few days ago. I heard them say that there are people in Xinghua who fight with bare hands. He was a dead tiger and refused the reward from the government. I was amazed and yearned for him, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see him. I didn't expect that I made a fool of myself today and actually got the idea of a hero."
"Now that you know my name, what now? Are you still running?" Liang Chuan said.
Xia Dehai is also young and energetic, and he will either be beaten or dissatisfied. He has been on this river for many years, and he has always made others suffer, and no one else has made him suffer. Other boatmen know his methods and dare not cross him. He has become the tyrant of Wan'andu. Who would have thought that today I would meet Liang Chuan, and he would be played in the palm of his hand, with no way to go to heaven or to the sea.
"No more running, no more running. Liang Guanren looks at his young age but his skills are not small. I admire him. I will punt you to cross the river." The others in the boat looked in a daze. They were fighting and killing just now. , now they are brothers, and they fall out faster than turning over a book.
"I said you have some skills after all. If you don't do something great, you just do this kind of stealing and kidnapping on the river every day. Isn't it a waste of your skills?" Liang Chuan put away his guy and handed it back to his brother Zhao.
"I don't want to hang around like this, but I don't have a place to go. If Brother Liangchuan doesn't dislike my rude background, I'm willing to help him!" Xia Dehai is certainly not stupid. He needs to rob on this river but there is no good place to go. If There is a better way out, who wouldn't want to?
Xia Dehai started to express his loyalty at this moment. Liang Chuan quickly stopped him, damn, he wanted to kill me just a moment ago, and these guys are about to carry my shoes. Who knows what this kid has in mind, these knives lick blood. People are bold and evil, and they don't even know how to recruit younger brothers. Death is just a matter of one stroke, and there are many things that lead to wolves entering the house.
"I have trouble feeding myself now, but I can't afford to support you. I'll come to you when I need help after I arrive in Qingyuan."
This person may be useful, but he must not use it immediately. At least he must test it out. If he is not kind, he will be the unlucky one. My water skills are not as good as this kid's. If this kid comes up with a delaying strategy, I might not be his opponent in the water.
