In the 21st century of our universe, it takes more than two hours to drive from Hangzhou to Xuancheng.
But in Dashu, even if you drive fast, you still have to run for a day to get there.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai spent a day and night in Nanyuan Village. It happened to be dusk when they left the village on horseback. Originally, the villagers wanted to keep them overnight, but they were worried about their schedule and set off quickly. .
In those days, there were no such things as street lights, and visibility at night basically depended on the moon in the sky.
If the weather is good and the moon is round, then it will be okay. If the moon is covered by dark clouds, you will basically be unable to see your fingers on the road. Even if you carry a lantern or hold a torch, the area that can be illuminated is really large. limited.
Sun and Huang were lucky. It was night, and the moon was bright in the sky, and the moonlight fell like silver on the ground.
But even so, they were not moving as fast as during the day. They walked slowly and hurriedly along the official road. When they arrived at midnight, they had only walked more than ten miles (one mile is about 550 meters). ).
Just when tiredness hit, an inn appeared in front of them. They hurriedly called the door, gave the waiter a little "tip", and settled in.
After a night of silence, the two set off again the next morning and finally arrived in Xuancheng in time for Shenshi.
Although Xuancheng is not as prosperous as Hangzhou, it is still considered a larger county town. Naturally, there is also a high-speed rail gang here.
This time, Huang Donglai had a better memory. He didn’t let Sun Yixie buy the ticket alone and went with him. Unfortunately... there are still no direct tickets from Xuancheng to Luoyang.
When the two of them returned to the inn, they found out that the two horses that had come from the bandits were quite energetic anyway, and could at least run for a few days and nights. They might as well just ride their horses to Wuhu. Then take a boat across the river and head to Luzhou.
It is very close from Xuancheng to Wuhu, and it only takes half a day, so Sun and Huang only stayed in Xuancheng for one night and arrived at the Yangtze River the next day.
This is the first time Sun Yixie has seen the Yangtze River after being in this world for so long. In fact, he has never seen it so close by the riverside in his previous world.
You know, what year did the great river come from the west, and the river rushed straight down to the top of Minshan Mountain.
In the long wind and in front of the magnificent scenery, Sun Yixie couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He was inspired by poetry. Unfortunately, he didn't have any ink in his mind. In the end, he could only hold back one sentence: "Mom, you're a chicken." , The Yangtze River is really wide.”
In the end, Huang Donglai got ridicule that started with “nonsense”.
To make a long story short, these two people were not short of money anyway, so they casually looked for a big boat at the ferry and prepared to cross the river.
However, they did not know that they were already being targeted before they even got on the boat...
…………
On a sunny afternoon with gentle waves.
A sailing boat sailed slowly on the river.
This boat is specially designed to carry passengers across the river. It is very big, not only people, but also horsesYou can also pull it up.
In addition to the handlebars and some workers, there were about thirty passengers on board, including Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
Originally, this journey would not take long. If there was a favorable wind, we would arrive in half an hour, but the accident... happened after all.
As soon as the ferry reached the middle of the river, someone on the side of the boat was heard shouting, and then the crowd on the other side began to shout and cry. When Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw this, they also I went over to take a look, and I found out that it was because there were four light boats approaching rapidly on the river on that side.
Those four boats have sharp sails and tight oars. An expert like Sun Yixie, who often works with water, can tell at a glance that these are neither fishing boats nor passenger ships, but mostly fishing boats. **A pirate ship specially designed for robbery.
Of course, even if you are not an expert, anyone who often walks on this river can tell that this group of people is not a kind person, otherwise they would not have the reaction just now.
Crash -
As the four ships approached, they could only hear the sound of chains shaking, followed by eight "cross chain hooks" being thrown one after another. The big ship here is fastened to the side of the ship.
The function of these hooks is not only to fix the small boat and the large ship together, but also for experienced policemen to board the ship.
Tap-tat-tat...
Sure enough, within a moment, those people in the boat jumped on the chain one after another.
This group of people are either shirtless or wearing only a short jacket. Most of their lower body trousers are as short as three-quarters and tied with hemp rope or belts, and their feet are all bare ( Convenient to jump in and swim at any time).
At first glance, none of them looks particularly burly, but each of them has clear muscle lines, temples are bulging, cheeks are bulging, and they all hold curved daggers in their hands ( It is convenient to bite in the mouth when swimming)...compared to the bandits in Zoumazhai, these beasts are undoubtedly much more capable.
"Don't shout!" After standing upright, the leader of the gang took two steps forward and shouted loudly to silence the crying passengers, "Grandpa, I am A righteous bandit who robs the rich and helps the poor, and does justice for God, never kills innocent people indiscriminately, and all those who know how to do it will come and kneel to me. Grandpas will leave after finishing their work, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing what he said, everyone on the big ship, whether they were workers or passengers, quickly ran over and knelt down in front of them. The captain of the ship knelt at the front and took the lead in shouting: "Hero, spare your life! Let's run the ship." It’s not easy. I earn hard-earned money. Considering that I have an 80-year-old mother and a nursing child, please show me your kindness..."
"Okay, okay. "I didn't come here to see you. Kneel down and stop talking." The **** leader impatiently interrupted the boatman's cliché, and then glanced at Sun Yihehe. Huang Donglai's body.
He couldn’t ignore them even if he didn’t want to, because justThey didn't kneel.
Not only did they not kneel down, they also sat on the opposite side of the ship, chatting and laughing, as if the fact that someone was boarding the ship had nothing to do with them.
"Ha!" When the leader saw this scene, he smiled. He turned and looked at the men beside him, then walked away and came to Sun and Huang. In front of him, "Good boy, it seems that you two already know...Grandpa, I am here to see you?"
Huang Donglai said nothing and looked leisurely into the distance.
Sun Yixie looked up at him and said, "Where are you from? Tell me your name first."
"Hey!" The other party was really angry. Laughing, "You've got the guts, boy, how dare you ask me to sign up?" He took a half step back, slapped his chest, and said loudly, "Your grandfather, I am Gan Ning. After Gan Xingba, he was known as 'A dragon on the water of the Yangtze River, a knife. "Gongshuangjie Gan Feihong', killing the rich and helping the poor, doing something for heaven..."
"Bah!" Sun Yixie spat out before Gan Feihong could finish his words. He stopped the other party and said, "You, a little thief who robbed a river, still want a dragon? I have never heard of it. Tell me first, how did you rank in the 'Thirteenth Road'?"
This statement As soon as he came out, Gan Feihong's expression changed.
The so-called "Thirteen Paths" are a standard for dividing territory and status on the Green Forest Road. In terms of status, the four paths on land are "Heaven and Earth, Xuanhuang", and the ones on water are "Universe". The four paths of "prehistoric times" are divided into four paths of "southeast, northwest, and southeast" in terms of region.
For example, in the Hebei area, a green forest hero of the highest rank, when asked about the "Thirteen Ways", can answer - "The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the northern wild geese are flying alone."
That means that he is the "Heaven" character in "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", and he lives "alone" on the "North" side.
For another example, there is a group of third-rate water thieves who formed a gang in the Jinsha River area in the middle of Sichuan. When they are asked this question, they should answer - "The setting sun and the west wind, the gathering of righteousness will turn into a flood." ”
This means that they are the “Hong” generation in the “primordial universe”. On the “West” side, “a bunch of people” gather together to hang out.
In short, as long as you have those keywords when you answer, you can organize the language in any way. It depends on your own cultural level.
In addition, since it is called "Thirteen Dao", in addition to the twelve characters mentioned above, there is naturally another one...that separate one is called "Pi Zi Dao"; This "skin" means dog in slang. This path is specially assigned to those who have been recognized by the "Thirteen Paths", but later because of doing something so unscrupulous and inferior to a beast, even the Green Forest Path is ashamed to admit that you are an individual, and they will come to hunt you down collectively. The kind of person you are.
So which category does Gan Feihong belong to?
He is not in any way...
Any industry has its own rules. It does not mean that you are "a dragon" just because you say you are "a dragon", nor is it just you who says you are "a dragon". If you are "skilled in swords and bows", then you are "skilled in swords and bows"; if that's the case,Sun Yixie can give himself eight nicknames at any time, and the martial arts leaders will have to kneel down in front of him after reporting them.
On the Green Forest Road, you have to be recognized by people in the industry before you can have a famous name.
The way to get recognition is that you must first do enough or big enough deeds within a period of time. Regardless of whether it is in compliance with Da Zhao's law, at least make your peers feel that you are A "hero"... only then can he enter the Tao.
So Lulin Dao will not recognize people like Ma Si from the beginning. He is not even qualified to become a "Pi Zi Dao"; of course, he should and has never intended to be recognized by others. Pass.
As for Gan Feihong... It is difficult to verify whether he is a descendant of Gan Ning. Anyway, he thinks he is; he indeed wants to "kill the rich, help the poor, and do justice for heaven." , his brothers also followed him with this idea in mind.
However, he has only been around for less than half a year, and he has not done anything big; he just robbed these wealthy people on the river who seemed to be particularly wealthy and unkind, and then kept the money. Part of it was distributed to the poor in the surrounding area.
You really want him to rob the official ship. It’s not that he doesn’t dare, it’s just that he has normal intelligence and knows that he is leading his brothers to die, so he doesn’t go.
In short, with Gan Feihong's current "deeds", it might be hard to enter the "Thirteenth Path", but he still understands the rules of the Green Forest Path.
Now, when asked by Sun Yixie, Gan Feihong immediately concluded that the young man in front of him was probably a Taoist, because he was not an expert and would not ask this question right away.
"I..." Gan Feihong felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say that he had not yet entered Taoism, so he hesitated and replied, "Am I telling you what I told you? Who are you?"
"Ha!" Sun Yixie stood up immediately. He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, "You have to stand firm for me!" He also said loudly, "I...just Known as "Jingyu Hao, the jade pillar that holds the sky, the golden beam that lifts the sea"... Hao Jingyu, the general manager of the Green Forest Road Waterway...'s good brother Sun Yixie."
The first half of his sentence. The words almost scared Gan Feihong to death, and the second half of the sentence made the other party confused again.
But in fact, what Brother Sun said is not completely deceiving. He and Hao Jingyu do know each other; because the general manager of the Green Forest Road Waterway must come to Jiangnan, and he must come to Jiangnan. Hangzhou, when you come to Hangzhou, don’t you have to deal with the aquatic products people here? If you want to deal with him, you must rely on Brother Sun's dock. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether you are a ladle or a knife, you won't even be able to eat fish, right?
After going back and forth like this, the two of them had met several times, so Sun Yixie knew the slang of "Thirteen Ways".
But when it comes to "brothers"... Hao Jingyu is thirty-six years old this year. At that age, he was more than enough to be Sun Yixie's father; besides, even if his age is not The problem is, their friendship is not even close to that of "brothers".They are friends on the scene, just acquaintances.
"What are you doing? I don't believe it from the look on your face." Sun Yixie said, "That's all right, you can just wait for me some flatbread noodles, wontons or something like that. Just wait and see what I will do after I die." Brother, come here to take revenge, come on... do it quickly and chop it like this." As he said this, he opened his collar and exposed his neck in a posture like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
How did Gan Feihong know that Sun Yixie's shameless acting skills and his ability to talk nonsense were so perfectly combined? Seeing that the other party was so confident, and that he not only knew the slang in Dao'er, but also could tell Hao Jingyu's name, he believed him without thinking too much.
"No, no, no, no...Brother! Brother Sun! You are my brother!" Twenty-five-year-old Gan Feihong said to seventeen-year-old Sun Yixie, and he held Brother Sun in his arms. Holding his arm, he said, "The younger one is blind and mistook the older brother for a wealthy bully passing by. Brother deserves to die."
Huang Donglai was listening to the conversation between the two people and was already holding back his breath. I was laughing so hard that I almost pooped out my shit, but I had to endure it and continue to watch the river view.
"Hey~ That's right." Seeing that he had successfully deceived someone again, Sun Yixie immediately smiled, and then put on a face of a hero who cherishes heroes, and said with a smile, "We are all brothers. , It’s just a misunderstanding, hahaha..."
