Arrows fly across the river.

Blood was also flying on the river.

The merchant ship slowly drifted forward, frightened out of two thieves. Finally, unable to withstand the fear in their hearts, they turned around and fled in the opposite direction with the only wind in their sails.

The morning fog dispersed, and there was thick blood floating on the river.

The crew on the boat had already made a fire to cook. Boss Xie put a pot of fish porridge in front of his husband and Li Hongxiu, and said with a smile: "There are still a few saury fish left from yesterday. They are chopped up and cooked in the porridge.

Mu Mu walked into the cabin carrying a bow, looked at Li Hongxiu, curled her lips and said, "Mu Mu hasn't had enough fun yet, the water bandits on the pirate ship turned around and ran away."

Li Hongxiu stretched out her hand to tidy up the messy hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "When Mu Mu grows up, she can protect the teacher's wife. When we get to Bai Jade City, I will buy you more peach cakes to eat."

Mu Mu sat down next to her and said with a smile: "My brother is too lighthearted to kill the water bandits."

The gentleman picked up a spoon to fill the porridge, frowned, and said, "Yer, that's called releasing animals. Killing or not killing makes sense."

The guys on the boat came in, looked at Boss Xie and said, "The young master is lying on the stern of the boat and vomiting constantly. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Li Hongxiu was startled and blurted out: "It's not the first time for this kid, why is he still reacting?"

Mu Mu stood up, raised her fists and said, "I'll help my brother in."

The husband stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit down. He handed her the porridge in his hand, smiled lightly and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

...

Looking at the two pirate ships going away, and smelling the smell of blood filling the river, Li Ye finally couldn't help but lay on the boat and vomited wildly. He even vomited the undigested part of the saury fish grilled last night into the river.

.

The gentleman squatted beside him, gently caressed his back, and said softly: "Why didn't you react when you killed Ye Wuya in the back of the Great Buddha Temple?"

Li Ye lay on the board of the boat, reached out and scooped some water into the river to wash away the dirt in his vomit.

He said with a wry smile: "The disciple had a fight with someone back then. He was inexperienced and almost died at the hands of Ye Wuya. In the end, he returned to the small courtyard with half his life. At that time, he was only thinking about how to survive. What could he care about?

If you think about whether it's evil or not, you won't react."

"Now that I smell the smell of blood floating in the river, I can't stand it anymore and want to vomit, which makes my husband and wife laugh."

The gentleman looked at the pirate ship going away and said softly: "You are kind-hearted and don't want to commit more crimes. I can't say anything. It's just that after you intercepted and killed the water bandits this time, you will face the enemy again in the future."

, you must no longer be soft-hearted, otherwise you will be the one who dies."

Li Ye sat down against the stern of the boat and said with a sad smile: "If you understand this, you will be careful in the future."

The husband stood up, patted his sleeves, walked to the cabin, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, you can't even eat the fish porridge in the morning, so you can go back to the cabin and take a nap."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll rest here for a while before going in."

...

Li Hongxiu watched her husband walk back alone and said with a smile: "Is the little guy really so reactive? He won't be able to come back even if you go."

Mu Mu ate the fish porridge with a spoon and chuckled: "Brother is not as good as Mu Mu. In my eyes, the thieves there are just like the beasts on the Tianshan Mountains. If you don't kill them, they will pounce on you and bite you to death."

."

Boss Xie held the bowl and looked at Mu Mu, speechless. The Mu Mu in front of him was only about seven years old, but she was actually a little witch who could kill without blinking an eye.

The gentleman served himself a bowl of porridge, looked at Li Hongxiu, and said softly: "This is his first battle in the world, and the time at the Great Buddha Temple does not count."

Li Hongxiu nodded, looked back at the stern of the boat, and said softly: "It's not bad. Finally, I didn't ask my wife to do it for her."

Boss Xie laughed beside him, patted his chest and said, "Thank you for saving our crew and cargo. When we return to White Jade City, I will treat you to a big meal."

Mu Mu put down the bowl, clapped her hands, and said with a giggle: "Old uncle, you can remember to buy Mu Mu a few more boxes of peach blossom cakes filled with flowers."

Boss Xie laughed and said, "That's for sure. I'm determined to give you peach cakes all over the house."

A planned life-and-death attack quietly disappeared under the arrows that Li Ye and Mu Mu inadvertently practiced.

From the time the husband boarded the boat to buy bows and arrows for Li Ye and Mu Mu, to the time they fought against the water bandits, it only took about ten days. This was countless times shorter than when Li Ye was practicing swordplay on Tianshan Mountain.

Li Ye lay in the cabin and kept moving, trying to find a comfortable position for himself, but he couldn't find it.

Leaning on the cotton pad by the window, after trying many times, my sore body finally found a point of support, and I couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

Looking at the wooden board on the roof of the cabin, he murmured: "I used a little more force this time. It seems that I still need to practice my arrow path. Without cultivation, it cannot last long just by relying on the strength of the physical body.

Leaning against the window, with a faint rising morning light in my eyes, I wanted to call out to Mumu to bring me a cup of tea. I opened my mouth, but in the end no sound came out. I tilted my head and fell into a deep sleep.

...

From Tamsui to Liexi, the merchant ship traveled on the Fuchun River for another day and night.

Boss Xie said that because some goods on the merchant ship had to be handed over in the town, he suggested that he take Li Ye and others to the town to rest for the night.

The husband led Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu to the front, followed by Li Ye who was wearing a bamboo hat.

"Liexi Town is a commercial logistics exchange center in the Central Region. Many goods are distributed in this town. It is also the last town on our trip. We have to go ashore not far ahead. It only takes one or two days to reach Baiyu.

city."

The husband was telling Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu in front, while Li Ye, who was walking behind, listened in his heart.

"Master, are we going to spend the night here today?" Mu Mu held Li Hongxiu's hand and jumped like an elf who had just entered the world.

Li Hongxiu turned her head, looked at her and said softly: "I'm a little tired of staying on the boat all the way here. I want to stay ashore for one night and take you to eat some food in the town."

Li Ye frowned and followed behind. He was wondering whether the bandits from Tamsui would follow them to Liexi Town. On the boat, everyone was at a distance and it was better to be on guard. But when the time came, it would not be a big deal if there were so many people on the shore.

Less trouble.

Following Li Hongxiu, he looked at the shops on both sides of the road, trying to relax his mind, but his consciousness was already wandering in the nearby streets and alleys.

Boss Xie helped me find an inn, just opposite the store where he exchanged goods.

The husband led several people into the inn, opened two guest rooms, and the four masters and apprentices went upstairs. The husband led Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu to the room to wash up and rest.

Li Ye sat down at the table by the window on the second floor and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of corn pancakes.

After eating the two pieces of corn tortillas given to him by the woman in the field on the road, he was obsessed with the taste. Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu bought them several times, but they could never find the same feeling as that day.

My husband said this is food memory. When you taste a delicious food for the first time, you will unconsciously compare it later, but it is difficult to retrieve the taste in your memory.

Looking down from the window on the second floor of the inn, the fat Boss Xie was greeting the guys on the ship to bring the goods from Dongxuan Territory and unload them in front of this shop called Huangji.

The owner of Huangji Shop is a thin, middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. While greeting Boss Xie, he asked his shop assistants to move the goods on the floor to the upper floors of the shop.

"The boss upstairs dropped 30 cast-iron cauldrons and thanked the boss for taking them." Shopkeeper Huang shouted to the waiter upstairs.

Wang San, who was upstairs, responded: "I heard it. Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'll drop it right now."

Before he finished speaking, the man who was carrying the goods upstairs came down and placed two large iron pots on the ground in front of Huang Ji's shop. He turned around and shouted upstairs: "Wang San, you can throw the pot away now."

point!"

When Fatty Boss Xie and Shopkeeper Huang heard this, they quickly moved aside.

Li Ye, who was drinking tea on the second floor of the inn, was startled when he heard the shout from the waiter opposite. He thought to himself: Wasn't this pot being moved downstairs? Is there any reason to throw it away? Could it be that the broken pot was moved down?

Throw away defective products and return them?

My heart tightened, and my eyes were fixed on the second floor of Huangji's shop opposite.

There is a section on the second floor of the shop that is open and can also be closed with wooden doors. I think it is used by clerks to load and unload bulk goods.

Before Li Ye across the street could react, a clerk named Wang San from the second floor of Huangji Shop called out: "Shopkeeper downstairs, guys, please move out of the way, I'm going to take the blame. Please be careful."

I saw him holding the edge of the iron pot with his hand, and with a strong force, the large iron pot spun and flew down from the second floor, flying straight towards the two iron pots placed on the ground...

Shopkeeper Huang and Boss Xie on the street looked up and saw that they were not surprised and continued chatting.

Li Ye, who was on the second floor of the inn, had his voice raised to his heart. He had already expected that there would be a pile of smashed iron pots on the ground...

...

Everything was just a flash of lightning and the outcome that Li Ye expected did not happen. The iron pot in Wang San's hand spun and flew from the second floor to the street on the first floor.

It spun and flew into the two iron pots that had been placed before. It just made a soft "plop" sound and stuck firmly to the two iron pots without making any more noise.

Li Ye had already put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Wang San upstairs opposite, and shouted: "Man, you are awesome!"

Wang San, who was on the second floor opposite, replied: "It's all about eating. If you do it a lot, you'll naturally become proficient."

While the two were talking, Wang San did not stop, and then swung another iron pot, still spinning upwards and flying into the three iron pots on the ground.

There was less than a stick of incense in front of and behind it, and thirty cast iron pots were piled neatly on the ground at the entrance of Huang Ji's shop.

The fat boss Xie stepped forward and counted the numbers, and said to Shopkeeper Huang: "The number of pots is just right. You can get me another fifty kilograms of fenugreek leaves, and I'll ask the guys to carry them back to the boat."

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, just wait a moment, it has to be moved from the warehouse at the back. Since I'm not leaving today, I'll be hosting tonight, so I'll treat you to dinner opposite."

Boss Xie, the fat man, patted Shopkeeper Huang on the shoulder and said, "I have a few more guests, so I won't bother you to treat them. Let's do it next time."

Boss Huang glared and said, "How about that? Just call them and I'll invite them together!"

Boss Xie looked up at Li Ye on the second floor and said, "Little master, shopkeeper Huang will invite you to dinner tonight. Please tell Mr. Mo later."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Huang." Looking at Wang San, the clerk on the second floor opposite, Li Ye smiled and said, "I'll finish my work in a while. Come over here and I'll treat you to tea."
