“Miss, are you okay?”
Xiao Qing asked worriedly.
“I'm fine. I just didn't expect this kid's legwork to be so strong. Xiao Qing, let's go together next! We must save these innocent people and never let them fall into the hands of these two river bandits!”
“Yes, Miss.”
Guo Fu Rong and Xiao Qing stood ready, but they saw Lu Yu jumping off the boat and watching them quietly.
“The Twin Blades?”
“We are the Twin Heroes! You damned river bandits, today we will bring justice upon you, and kill you all!”
“Doing so is fine, but first, let’s be clear, who is the river bandit?”
“Of course, you two, the old and young, who have lost all conscience!”
Guo Fu Rong said confidently.
“Where did you see that we are river bandits?”
“If you are not river bandits, why don't you charge for the ferry? You must be trying to trick everyone into the middle of the river and then rob them! Isn't that right?
Such a little trick, you still want to trick us Twin Heroes!”
Guo Fu Rong smiled confidently.
“Ge San Shu has been transporting people across the river for free for over ten years. Who in the Seven Heroes Town doesn't know that? Just because he doesn't charge, you judge him as a river bandit?
Should we say you are confident, or are you stupid?
You want to hurt an old man who doesn't know martial arts without figuring things out. Is this your way of bringing justice upon the world? Ridiculous!”
Lu Yu sneered.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Guo Fu Rong was shocked.
“It's true. We all know Ge San Shu. He's a good man, not a river bandit.”
“Yes, how could Ge San Shu be a river bandit? It's nonsense.”
The people on the boat also understood what was going on and spoke up for Ge San Shu.
“How could this be, how could this be!”
Guo Fu Rong was greatly discouraged and turned to flee.
“Miss!”
Seeing this, Xiao Qing hurriedly chased after her.
Lu Yu watched the two leave, but didn't pursue them.
Now was not the time to capture them.
Moreover, with his current strength, it wasn't easy to catch them.
He had only started practicing yesterday. His realm was lower than Guo Fu Rong's. It was already difficult for him to drive her back.
What's more, she had Xiao Qing beside her.
This Xiao Qing should be the reason why Guo Daxia was willing to let Guo Fu Rong leave home.
She appears to be a maid, but she is actually a close bodyguard, with a strong power.
If not, Guo Fu Rong wouldn't even be able to reach Seven Heroes Town and would have fallen in the Jianghu.
Seeing the Twin Blades retreat, everyone was relieved.
And they also looked at Lu Yu with curiosity.
“Xiao Yu, you know martial arts?”
Ge San Shu had time to ask.
“A few days ago, I met a master who taught me a few moves. It’s not anything great. If we fought again, I would definitely lose.”
Lu Yu explained.
He couldn’t keep his martial arts a secret forever, so he just made up a reason to get it over with.
After all, such things are not uncommon in the Jianghu.
This Jianghu is so vast, there are many reclusive masters with eccentric temperaments.
“I see! You have received a great fortune! My life was saved by you today.”
Ge San Shu was delighted, his eyes full of relief.
Lu Yu scratched his head awkwardly and said, “San Shu, you are exaggerating. Let's not talk about this. Let's cross the river. Everyone is waiting.”
“Good!”
The matter of the Twin Blades was just a small episode. After watching the excitement, everyone returned to their busy lives.
On the fishing boat, Lu Yu continued fishing.
It's not easy to succeed in fishing on a moving boat, but Lu Yu needed to be in a fishing state to practice his inner strength, so he didn't care about the success rate.
At this time, he was also automatically separated from the crowd by a certain distance, and no one approached him.
This is the awe that ordinary people have for Jianghu people.
Even though Lu Yu had just saved everyone, this awe still exists.
The Jianghu is a place of fighting and killing, and they, ordinary people, can't afford to provoke them.
Of course, there was still a lot of curiosity.
Lu Yu didn't care about these things. He continued to close his eyes and sit quietly, fishing.
The practice method of Wind God Leg continuously flowed in his mind, and he was comprehending it.
Although the fight with Guo Fu Rong was just a moment, it was the first fight in the Jianghu for him.
Neither of them had high strength, and their combat experience was also very little. It was almost like a game of chicken pecking.
“The power of the Whirlwind Palm is really not to be underestimated. It can actually rival the Wind God Leg. This palm technique in Guo Fu Rong's hands is a waste.
I wonder what kind of power it would have if it was used by Guo Daxia. It could probably rival the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, right.”
Lu Yu thought to himself, feeling a bit curious about the Whirlwind Palm.
“After this incident, I don’t know if Guo Fu Rong will go to Tongfu Inn. It's not easy to get the Twin Blades set.
I can't just take off her clothes, can I? Besides, Xiao Qing beside Guo Fu Rong is also not easy to deal with.
If it were just me, I wouldn’t stand a chance.
I guess I can only go to Tongfu Inn at night and see if they go there. If they do, I can try to use Bai Da Ge's strength.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu had made up his mind. After he sent Ge San Shu home, he would go to Tongfu Inn for a visit.
At this time, the fishing line moved.
Lu Yu came to his senses and immediately reeled in!
The fat carp jumped out of the Xi Liang River, glistening in the sunlight, looking beautiful.
He flicked the rod, and the carp landed accurately in the fish basket beside him. This catch was a perfect ending.
“Heh, Xiao Yu, your fishing skills are getting better and better.”
Ge San Shu laughed.
Being able to fish on a moving boat was indeed a skill.
Compared to others who had developed a certain fear of Lu Yu, Ge San Shu was still the same as before.
“It's okay. San Shu, I'll treat you to fish soup tonight.”
“Okay! Let me taste your cooking.”
The Xi Liang River wasn't very big. It only took half an hour to cross.
But it took more than an hour to go back and forth, which was quite time-consuming.
In this trip, Lu Yu only caught two fish, which was pretty good.
After sending the last group of people across, Ge San Shu finally had time to rest.
“San Shu, come, have some fish soup.”
There were cooking stoves on the fishing boats, which were convenient for cooking and warming wine on board.
Imagine, when it's raining heavily, you can hide in the cabin alone, warm up a pot of wine, and then make two small dishes. It would be so enjoyable.
After finishing fishing, Lu Yu started making fish soup. The fish soup was fragrant at this time.
“Okay. I smelled the fragrance just now. I didn't expect your boy to have decent cooking skills. Heh, the soup is milky white, it looks delicious.”
Ge San Shu said, took a sip from the bowl.
“Delicious!”
This one word was the highest praise.
Lu Yu smiled and served himself a bowl.
Now, in this early autumn season, drinking a freshly made bowl of fish soup was truly a treat.
There wasn't a need for too many seasonings. A pinch of fine salt was enough.
It's a pity that there was no tofu on board.
Otherwise, adding a piece of tofu would be perfect.
As the two were drinking, a thin figure suddenly walked over.
The person was wearing old clothes, but they didn't look dirty. His face had a lot of black soot and he looked like a little beggar.
He walked to the two of them, sniffed his nose, rolled his eyes, and sighed, “So fragrant. This is fish soup made by frying fresh carp in oil, adding two slices of thin ginger, and finally pouring in boiling water.
Although it's simple, it's not easy to make it well.”
“Hey, you little beggar, you're quite a foodie. You're so eloquent.”
Ge San Shu laughed.
Lu Yu also looked at the thin little beggar, his eyes flashing with surprise.
Beggar?
He didn’t look like it.
Except for his beggar clothes, there was nothing about him that looked like a beggar, especially his eyes.
They were bright, with a twinkle of cunning and vivacity.
How could someone with such eyes be a beggar.
