Chapter 30 Trap
You can go to Yanyu City by boat from Wushuang City facing south. However, Xiao Yu doesn't want to spend too much time on the boat, so he plans to cross the river by boat from Pingcheng where he has arrived.
Although Pingcheng is prosperous, boats crossing the river are not available every day.
Xiao Yu waited for two days in Pingcheng before a ship crossing the river.
This ship is less than nine feet long and less than three feet wide. It is the ship of the He family on the opposite side of Jeju City. It was not a ship carrying passengers. However, after Xiao Yu used some gold, the housekeeper of the He family, who managed the ship, let Xiao Yu board the ship.
It took only more than an hour from Pingcheng to Jeju City opposite, so Xiao Yu stood on the bow of the boat and waited for the ship to travel to the other side.
The sky is cloudy. At noon, the river is still shrouded in thick fog. Xiao Yu has excellent eyesight, but she can only see three miles ahead.
Xiao Yu's eyes stared straight at the foggy river, but his attention was not on the river.
"First go to Jiufeng Mountain to get pure yang jade, then go to Xishan to get fire beef tendon, and finally go to Tianshan to get the lion and tiger elixir and Xingchen sand. After finding all the materials for the bow, find a place with high fire quality. If you refine the divine bow and then promote your cultivation to the realm of long life, you will be qualified for revenge.
Xiao Yu has made arrangements for what he will do in the next few years, but he doesn't know whether he will do those things smoothly.
"If the pure yang jade is destroyed, you need to go to the Diling Palace."
When Xiao Yu was thinking about her future plans, the boat suddenly shook violently.
Xiao Yu's face changed, and several dodged to the main hall of the ship.
"What's going on?"
"Xiao Qi, go down and ask to see what happened."
He said to the little man standing beside him, and the fat-faced housekeeper of the He family turned his eyes to Xiao Yu.
"Shi Shaoxia doesn't have to worry. Although this boat is not big, it is very strong. You will know what's going on in a minute. Shi Shaoxia, please sit down for a moment.
Xiao Yu looked at the fat housekeeper's face a few times, nodded, and sat in the chair on the right.
In a while, the boy named Xiao Qi returned to the main hall.
"Uncle, there is a hole in the bottom of the boat."
"What?"
Hearing this, the fat housekeeper stood up with a pale face.
The cabin is full of things that can't enter the water. Now that the cabin enters the water, it means that most of the things on this ship will be destroyed.
Hearing the water entering the cabin, Xiao Yu also frowned.
After looking at the fat housekeeper, Xiao Yu looked at the little guy with a pale face and asked, "How can the boat get into the water?"
The little man looked at the fat housekeeper and replied to Xiao Yu, "The boat was broken by two one-horned black-backed crocodiles."
"The one-horned black-backed crocodile rarely appears throughout the winter. How could they attack this ship?"
It was the fat housekeeper who asked, not Xiao Yu.
"The two unicorned black-backed crocodiles may have been attracted by those tender mutton."
Hearing this, the fat housekeeper sat back in the chair with a decadent face.
Xiao Yu frowned and looked at the fat housekeeper and asked the little man, "Those two one-horned black-backed crocodiles were killed by those sailors?"
"Hmm! In summer, the one-horned black-backed crocodile often harms the ships crossing the river. Therefore, sailors are surrounded by sharp forks that can kill the one-horned black-backed crocodile.
Xiao Yu nodded and turned her head to the fat housekeeper and said, "Since the tender mutton on the ship can attract the one-horned black-backed crocodile once, it is likely to attract the second time."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the fat housekeeper's face changed in an instant and said to the little man, "Xiao Qi, go down and tell them to throw away all the tender mutton in the cabin."
"Third uncle, that tender mutton is what the young master and the third lady asked for!"
"How can there be so much nonsense? Why don't you pass on my orders quickly?"
Seeing the fat housekeeper's face full of anger, the little man dared not say anything and hurried out of the main hall.
After the little man left, the fat housekeeper's face returned to decadence.
Seeing the decadent face of the fat housekeeper, Xiao Yu hesitated for a while and asked, "Housekeeper He, will the water in the cabin have an impact on the boat crossing the river?"
The fat housekeeper glanced at Xiao Yu and replied impatiently, "The water in the cabin will definitely affect the boat crossing the river, but don't worry, although the boat will be much slower, it can still cross the river."
Xiao Yu was a little silent, nodded and whispered, "It's good to cross the river!"
After sitting in the main hall for a while, Xiao Yu got up and went outside.
"I didn't expect that such an ordinary thing as crossing the river would be in trouble!"
With a sigh, Xiao Yu turned her head and looked south.
"When the boat goes to a place where you can see the river, just step directly on the shore."
After withdrawing her eyes, Xiao Yu thought nonsense for a while and began to recall the game between him and Dao Jun Shen Li.
Knowing that the sea has the soul of magical power, it is difficult for Xiao Yu to understand the mystery of swordsmanship, and of course it is also difficult to understand the mystery of knife skill. He recalled the comparison between him and Shen Li, just recalling Shen Li's knife moves.
Xiao Yu doesn't care what mysterious Shen Li's knife moves are. He is just trying to think about how he can crack Shen Li's knife moves as soon as possible with his sword moves.
When Xiao Yu was refining his swordsmanship, snowflakes floated in the sky.
The cold snowflakes fell on Xiao Yu's face and woke him up from meditation.
"It's finally snowing!"
When Xiao Yu left Wushuang City, it was cloudy, and it seemed that it might snow at any time, but it was delayed for nearly five days.
I don't know whether the snowflakes affected Xiao Yu's sight, or whether the fog became thicker, and the range of Xiao Yu's sight became smaller.
"Will it snow until the first day of the Chinese New Year? From the beginning of my memory, it seems that I can see snow every New Year. There is very little snow in the south of the Yangtze River. If this snow does not snow before the first day of the Chinese New Year, there may be no snow during the Spring Festival this year.
While Xiao Yu was thinking nonsense, the little boy of Xiao Qi came not far from Xiao Yu.
"Shi Shaoxia, the third uncle, please sit in the room."
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.
Before he got to the main hall, a seductive fragrance came from the tip of Xiao Yu's nose.
"What smells so good?"
After entering the main hall, Xiao Yu saw the source of fragrance.
On the low dinner table next to the main hall, there is a stone-based carbon basin, and there is a small hanging pot above the carbon basin, and the fragrance is emitted from the small pot.
"Shi Shaoxia, come and sit down."
Xiao Yu looked at the small pot a few times, walked to the table and sat down.
"What is this?"
"This is called antique soup, which is a delicacy from the south. In Jiangnan County, only a real big family can eat it."
As soon as the fat housekeeper's words fell, the sound of "coo-dong" came from the small pot.
"Antique soup, the name is interesting."
The fat housekeeper nodded and said with a smile, "There is something wrong with the boat this time. The tired Shi Shaoxia has to float on the river for a longer time. I'm really sorry. I will apologize to Shi Shaoxia with this antique soup."
"Housekeeper He's words are heavy!"
Xiao Yu was cautious. Although the people on the boat seemed to have no problem, he still waited until the fat housekeeper ate a little before moving his chopsticks.
While eating antique soup, they chatted. After a while, the two of them didn't seem to be so different.
After eating the antique soup, Xiao Yu refused the invitation of the fat housekeeper and came to the bow again.
Looking south, Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning.
According to the fat housekeeper, the things in the boat greatly increased the weight of the ship after entering the water, so it took almost a day for the boat to reach the other side.
"If I had known that there would be such a trouble, I would have taken a boat from Wushuang City."
Xiao Yu stood in the bow for about an hour, and the sky slowly darkened.
In fact, it feels different to look at the snow with the faint light, but although Xiao Yu stared ahead, she did not pay attention to the falling snowflakes.
Nothing happened, and Xiao Yu began to elaborate on the "Jiuyang True Body Secret" again.
Unconsciously, it's time.
At this time, Xiao Yu's ear was still only the sound of the boat splitting water and the water patting the boat.
On the surface, everything seems to be very normal, but in fact, the ship where Xiao Yu is located is slowly sinking.
When it slowly sank for nearly two quarters of an hour, the hull suddenly vibrated.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Xiao Yu found the abnormality of the boat.
Seeing that the boat board was about to touch the river, Xiao Yu's face changed, and her figure flashed to the edge of the boat building, and she sensed the movement in the boat building.
"Why is there no one?"
After sensing that there was no one in the boat building, Xiao Yu's heart sank and used her secret skills to look at the river.
At this time, although the fog on the river was not as heavy as during the day, the flying snowflakes affected Xiao Yu's vision.
Within a radius of three miles, Xiao Yu did not find any abnormality worthy of his attention.
After observing the situation within three miles, Xiao Yu then began to observe the situation of the ship itself.
After a while, Xiao Yu found something strange on the ship. There was a lantern that was not very bright hanging on the mast of the ship.
"Although the light emitted by this lantern is not strong, this light can be transmitted far away in this night."
Thinking about it, Xiao Yu casually broke off a piece of wood in the boathouse and hit the lantern.
Bang!
With a soft sound, the lantern went out.
After extinguishing the lantern, Xiao Yu slapped two slaps on the mast and broke the mast.
After the mast fell into the water, Xiao Yu fell on top of the mast.
Xiao Yu exercised in the Tianfeng Valley of the Shooting Sun Villa, and it was not difficult to stand on a piece of wood floating on the river.
After standing firmly on the mast, Xiao Yu identified the direction of the river flow, and then patted the mast under his feet with the palm wind to drive north.
"Who set this trap against me? Is it Yan Wuya? If he wants to deal with me, he shouldn't have to be so troublesome. If it's not Yan Wuya, who will it be? Is it Wanjia Town? Or the Zhang family in Wangjiang City?
Xiao Yu thought about it, and only thought that Yan Wuya, Wanjia Town Wanjia, and Wangjiang City Zhang family had the possibility of dealing with him.
When Xiao Yu didn't think of setting a trap against him, a loud sound of water came to Xiao Yu's ears.
Looking at the place where the sound of water came, Xiao Yu saw a small boat coming quickly towards his position.
Seeing the four people standing in the bow, Xiao Yu was slightly stunned and said secretly, "How could it be him?"
