Chapter 705 Night Interlude

As the saying goes, March in Yangchun.

And now it is April, the weather is getting warmer, snails, mussels, and all kinds of river fish are fattening. However, when the cook brought the carp soup, the younger brother was mostly sober.

"Brother, the next story...or forget it."

After finishing speaking, several eyes looked at Lu Li.

In feudal society, the world is full of reverence for ghosts and gods. Even though Wang Zijing has been with Mr. Tiantai all year round and has extensive knowledge, he still feels afraid when he talks about his experience during his study tour.

"Mr. Lu, it's not a good thing to talk about ghosts at night. It's better to wait for the sun to rise tomorrow."

At this time, Su Xiaodie, a famous Qinhuai courtesan, echoed coquettishly, obviously frightened.

In her arms, Danniang looked up at herself, her eyes were also full of panic.

So, Lu Li followed suit and said:

"The days ahead will be long, just drink two less glasses tonight, and let's go to the shore to rest."

The purpose of setting up the game tonight was to find out how deep the water in this world is, and through the narration of his junior brother, Lu Li knew that Confucianism is not simple, and evil spirits come out of poor villages.

In addition, wild Taoists should not be underestimated!

Maybe treating Li widower's disease can be regarded as a Confucianism and Taoism dispute?

Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion outside the painting boat.

"Overboard."

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Save...save..."

A guard guarding the window opened the wooden lattice window, and everyone saw someone calling for help beside the painting boat.

At the same time, there are splashes of water.

"Quick, quick, who knows how to swim? Go down and save people."

"Brother Shen, hold on, I'll ask someone to go down the river to catch you."

It's getting more and more lively outside.

The little junior brother who finally sobered up suddenly stood up and walked outside, maybe it was to escape from drinking, or maybe it was Gu Dao's eagerness to save others.

Seeing this, Lu Li also took Danniang out of the room to join in the fun.

At this moment, there are four painting boats on the river after hearing the news, most of them are two-story structures, about five meters high, with lanterns on them.

Looking at the person who was struggling in the water, the junior brother was full of anxiety: "Senior brother, let the guards go down to save people, I don't know how to swim."

Gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, boating games.

For people like Lu Li, who go out and play with escorts, they can't find a few in Jinling City.

Hearing this, Lu Li looked at the burly man who was following closely behind him, and asked, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Who is better at water? Let's go down for a walk."

How much do you forget things?

Actually, it wasn't that Lu Li didn't want to call out his name.

However, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, the inherited memory does not have the names of these guards at all. Similarly, no one even knows their surnames, let alone know the details of everyone's water quality.

"I go."

There is one thing to say, these guards who are responsible for protecting themselves are indeed loyal. As soon as the master gave an order, someone stood up immediately.

Plop!

There was no need for any protective measures or warm-up preparations at all. The burly man took off his self-defense waist knife and jumped directly into the river.

In the center of several painting boats.

Shen Qing was constantly thrashing. Although he was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, he was not able to understand water, he was ups and downs in the river, the scarf fluttered down at some point, and his long hair fell down, tightly wrapped around his neck.

I don't know when the walking boots fell off, and my legs kicked randomly.

"Walk."

The guard who went into the water to save people was as nimble as a fish swimming, with only a few ups and downs, they dived to Shen Qing's side, trying to lift him up and take him away.

It's a pity that the fear made Shen Qing lose his mind, not only did he not follow that force, but he struggled even more violently.

The sound of water rushing.

"Cough cough cough!"

Along with it came the sound of choking water.

Lu Li naturally noticed this scene, stood beside the painting boat, and shouted from a distance, "Don't worry about it, just drag it here when you're knocked out."

An adult is struggling desperately, and the location is in the middle of the river, and there will be chaos any later, so knocking him unconscious and taking him away is undoubtedly the most efficient and trouble-free method.

After pouring a few mouthfuls of river water, Shen Qing calmed down a lot, and the guard took the opportunity to forcefully hit the back of his head.

In an instant, the guy was quiet.

In a few minutes.

A hemp rope as thick as a child's arm was thrown from the boat, and the two guards pulled him up with all their strength.

"Ask the kitchen to prepare ginger soup."

Glancing at the unconscious scholar lying on the deck, Lu Li gave some instructions, then looked at the drenched guard, and asked:

"May I have your name?"

Regarding the fact that the master didn't know his own name, the guard acted indifferently, and answered with hands clasped:

"Little man Yang Zhen."

"Okay." Lu Li nodded, "I remember you."

Anyway, these people are doing things by my side, and they don't even know their names, so what is it? It was okay in the past, but not in the future.

A few verbal words are far less real than gold and silver rewards.

In this world, Lu Li didn't have to worry about money, so he took out a gold leaf from his kit and handed it to Yang Zhen.

Thousands of dollars to buy a horse!

Although these people seemed to be loyal, Lu Li hoped that they would be even more loyal. By doing this in public, it was nothing more than telling everyone present that he, Lu Li, was never stingy with his own people.

Dan Niang, who was by her side, lost her mind for a moment, and so did the famous prostitute Su Xiaodie, and the way she looked at Lu Li also became complicated.

And Yang Zhen knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Thank you, Young Master."

He just went into the water to save a strange scholar, and he got so many rewards. He felt like he was living in a dream, especially when he recalled that the young master said "I remember you", he was so excited that he couldn't hold it back.

So are the guards.

They both regretted not being the first to speak, and at the same time looked forward to the next time the young master has something to order.

The junior brother sighed in his heart, it is worthy of being an honorable family that has stood tall since the founding of the country, why is there any need to go north to Yandu to pursue fame and fortune? Once born, these things are there!

"Brother Shen stumbled after drinking and accidentally fell into the water. Thank you for your help, Young Master."

Just as he was thinking, a voice came from afar.

Following the prestige, I saw two double-decker painting boats approaching here. The speaker was a scholar of about twenty-five or six years old. He had a long beard and was not handsome, but he was tall and tall, more than six (bright) feet. , frankly speaking, this head is considered eye-catching in the north, let alone in the south of the Yangtze River.

"nothing."

Lu Li looked up at the group of people, nodded his head as a greeting, and continued: "After landing on the shore, you just take them away."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the painting boat.

If a narrow-minded person encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely feel that Lu Li treats others contemptuously, but the group of scholars never thought of it that way.

Compared to a double-decker painting boat, Lu Li's boat was magnificent, with a height of three stories, with flying eaves and pavilions, and flying flags.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is another noble son who is traveling for fun.

"Look at this flag...it seems to be the son of Henan Hou Lu's family." Someone noticed the flag hanging prominently on the boat and said, "There are rumors that the young master is addicted to wine and sex all day long. When I see you today, you will know that there is a It's just a rumour."

The face is like a crown jade, and the long gown flutters.

After just a few quick conversations with people, Lu Li left a deep impression on others.
