Chapter 151 The Heroes of Nishui Spring
"Nonsense!" Zhihua said with a downcast face, "Stop!"
Hearing that the master stopped drinking, Ai Hu's feet stopped, but Ding Zhaohui still walked forward regardless.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Jiang Ping jumped out quickly, blocking Ding Zhaohui's way, and advised: "Second brother Ding, don't act impulsively."
Ding Zhaohui said sullenly, "Fourth brother Jiang, get out of the way."
Zhihua sternly said: "You go to the county prince's mansion to lead people now, is it any different from sending you to death?! She had the opportunity to leave, but she chose to stay! She is willing to be kidnapped and take the risk of sending out the map. Have you ever thought about why she wants to leave?" Doing this? If you still treat her as a relative, you shouldn’t do things that hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!”
Ding Zhaohui said angrily, "Your brother may not know what my brother said. But knowing that she is in a dangerous situation, but asking me to stand by, it would be better to die immediately!"
Jiang Ping grabbed his arm and said earnestly: "Second brother Ding, the bones of fifth brother are still sinking in the Nishui spring of the Han River. Today, people here are familiar with the nature of water, but you and brother Lu are just the three of you. You can also see the appearance of brother Lu. I can't count on half of it. After all, the dead are the most important, so how about I, Jiang Zechang, begging you to help my brother?" As he said, he faced Ding Zhaohui and cupped his hands to worship.
"Fourth brother, are you going to kill little brother!" Ding Zhaohui quickly supported him and said, "Fourth brother, tell me, I will go with you."
Jiang Ping clasped his hands tightly, shook them vigorously and said, "Good brother!"
Nishui Spring is located under the surface of the turbulent Han River. The river flows from west to east. On the way, it is blocked by Hutou Mountain.
Early the next morning, when the morning fog on the river was still there, Jiang Ping and Ding Zhaohui set sail and headed straight for Nishuiquan.Zhan Zhao and Zhihua's master and apprentice went overland to Mount Hutou to look out for them.
When the boat arrived in the middle of the river, it broke down and stopped. Jiang Ping took off only his underwear and put on a close-fitting swimsuit.
In winter season, the river water is icy cold and slightly blue. The Nishui Spring is a stream of clear water gushing out from the bottom of the river. Due to the temperature of the ground, the water temperature is slightly higher than that of the flowing river water, like a white dragon playing in the clear water. between.The moon tide is approaching, and the water flow is fast. As soon as the white waves in the living spring come out, they will be swept away by the turbulent river water, making it even more difficult to find.
Jiang Ping sneaked at the bottom of the river, touched a large area of water, but did not find the spring, and felt exhausted, so he surfaced and swam towards the boat.Seeing this, Ding Zhaohui quickly stretched out his long pole, dragged it aboard, picked up a wine bag, lifted the lid, handed it to him, and said, "Fourth brother, drink a couple of sips to warm up your body."
Jiang Ping's sallow face was already blue from the cold, he didn't care to wipe off the water stains, and swallowed a big mouthful of shochu. Ding Zhaohui lit a charcoal basin beside him and baked it for a while before he regained his strength.
Ding Zhaohui changed to Shuigui and said, "Fourth brother, rest for a while, and younger brother will go to another place to find out."
Jiang Ping took care of him and said: "Second brother, be careful, the water is heavy today, don't dive for too long, we two brothers come in rotation."
Ding Zhaohui nodded: "Little brother understands." Immediately, he plunged into the water.
On Hutou Mountain, Zhihua and his party also arrived.The three of them carried strong bows and arrow pots on their backs, set up three commanding heights, and watched the passing ships on the river for any suspicious things.
Ding Zhaohui searched for a while, but his strength was a little weak, he was about to swim up, when the water behind him suddenly became fierce, he guessed that the tide must be high, so he hurried up, but unexpectedly, another white wave rose up ahead, coming towards him, The two forces collided, forming a strong vortex, which dragged it back into the bottom of the river.Ding Zhaohui has been diving for a long time, exhausted his physical strength, and now he is rolled against the current again, he is even more exhausted, between breathing, he even poured a lot of river water into his stomach.Ding Zhaohui was in a hurry: Could it be that he would drown here after a while?A desperate voice suddenly sounded in my ear: Brat!You really don't remember me?Ding Zhaohui's heart trembled, and he closed his eyes and concentrated: I remember... Panpan, wait for me... He tried his best to stabilize his figure, crawled forward on the sand, crawled about ten feet away, and finally got rid of the whirlpool.He kicked his feet and floated towards the surface of the river, suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something hard just now, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, took a quick breath, and dived into the bottom of the river again.
After returning to the original place, a layer of river sand was removed, and several chains made of fine steel appeared in front of Ding Zhaohui.He grabbed it and pulled it with all his strength, and then brought out more than ten chains, and tried harder, but it didn't move at all.He stretched out his hand towards the sand pile, felt a box-shaped outline, and thought to himself: Could it be that the bones of the fifth brother were locked inside?The iron box is heavy and difficult to lift out of the water, only by cutting it with a sharp weapon can the contents be taken out.Thinking so far, I floated to the surface and swam to the boat.
Jiang Ping stretched out his pole to pull Ding Zhaohui up, and also handed him the wine. Seeing his dark lips and pale handsome face, he hurriedly took a towel to wipe his head and face, and said in a distressed tone: "It's agreed to take turns to go into the water, and you dive into the water." Why do you do it for so long? The tide is so fast, but the anxiety of the elder brother is broken."
Ding Zhaohui had a smile on his brows and eyes: "Fourth brother, have you seen the direction where the younger brother came out of the water?"
"It's about 130 feet southeast of the mast." Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, and said expectantly, "Could it be that the second brother has discovered it?!"
"That's right." Ding Zhaohui nodded, "When the tide was high, my little brother was sucked into a vortex near there. I had to grab hold of the heavy sand at the bottom of the river and climb out step by step to escape. I didn't want to touch a circle of chains. Set an iron box, I can't lift it, so I float up first!"
"That's right!" Jiang Ping patted Ding Er's shoulder, his excitement was beyond words, "The vortex encountered by the second brother must be formed by the intersection of the spring of the reverse water and the impact of the tide. In the iron box, there are ten (eight) nine times that it is Fifth brother's bone remains. Second brother, let me borrow your sword, and brother will go into the water to get it!"
Ding Zhaohui took out the Zhanlu sword from his luggage, took off the sheath, held it in his hand, and handed it to Jiang Ping, saying: "I hope the fourth brother will succeed in this trip, and the younger brother will wait for the good news on the boat."
Jiang Ping took the sword, tied it behind his back, and tied a fish skin pocket on his chest. He clasped his fists at Ding Zhaohui, and said solemnly, "According to the auspicious words of the second brother, Ze Chang will definitely bring the fifth brother back." The rear bridge rolled over the hull, and with a shake of his arms, he split the water and went away.
Jiang Ping, nicknamed "Fanjiang Mouse", is proficient in water skills and can open his eyesight, so he dived into the bottom of the water and found the iron box mentioned by Ding Er without much effort. After two picks, the fine steel chain was cut off, and the lock on the box lid was removed with another sword anvil. With both hands, the iron box was lifted open, revealing the white porcelain jar inside.Jiang Pingxin called out: "Fifth Brother, Fourth Brother brought you home!" Tears welled up in his eyes, and they melted silently into the icy river.He hurriedly fastened the sword back to his back, carefully took out the porcelain altar, leaned against his thin face, and then carefully put it into the fish skin pocket on his chest.
Zhihua and his party of three were also anxiously watching the movement on the river.Ai Hu's eyesight is very good, and he caught a glimpse of Jiang Ping emerging from the water, with a waterproof fish skin bag tied on his chest. It must have been the bones of Fifth Uncle Bai, so he couldn't help being excited, pointing to the middle of the river, and shouting loudly Said: "Master! Uncle Zhan! Look quickly! My brother-in-law and the others... Fifth Uncle... caught it!"
Zhihua and Zhan Zhao approached, looked in the direction Ai Hu pointed, and looked back at each other with a smile, feeling relieved.
Zhihua turned around and looked at the river again. He suddenly noticed that there were several willow-leaf boats parked on the river to cast nets for fishing. They suddenly collected the fishing nets and came towards the direction of Ding Zhaohui and Jiang Ping at full speed.He felt a "thud" in his heart, and shouted, "No! There is an ambush!"
Ding Zhaohui also saw something was wrong, there were four fishing boats flying towards his place from four directions, east, west, north, south, like arrows leaving the string.He quickly raised the anchor and lowered the sail, propped up the penny, and rowed towards Jiang Ping.
Halfway through Jiang Ping's swim, he suddenly felt a subtle change in the water behind him. He quickly rolled sideways, and the two Emei thorns that split the water, Kan Kan'er brushed past his waist. .Fanjiang Rat was furious, quickly pulled out Zhanlu sword, and swung it from bottom to top. The arm of the sneak attacker was chopped off from the elbow, and he fell to the surface of the water in pain. The miserable cry resounded through the Han River both sides.
Those fishing boats were approaching, and there were two masked men in black clothes standing on the bows, holding (bow) crossbows, aiming at Ding Zhaohui on the boat and Jiang Ping in the water respectively.Ding Zhaohui said anxiously: "Fourth brother, be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of arrows pierced the wind, and he waved the boat's pole to block it. Suddenly, there was a "ding ding" sound on the deck, all of which were the sound of falling arrows.Jiang Ping's situation was a bit better. He saw the arrows coming, so he quickly dived deeper. The strength of the arrows was blocked by the water flow, and even if they passed through him, they couldn't hurt him.
The three of Zhihua were not idle, they were holding their bows and arrows on the top of the mountain. In an instant, all the (bow) crossbowmen on the boats on both sides of Hutou Mountain were shot dead, and two other ships were lying in the middle of the river. , because it is far out of range, it is out of reach for a while.
Jiang Ping finally jumped onto the bow of the boat, stood still with his sword in hand, turned his back to Ding Zhaohui and said, "Second Brother, take the boat to Hutou Mountain!"
"Okay!" Ding Zhaohui swept towards the stern of the boat with a pole, and tried his best to push towards Hutou Mountain.
The two ships in front of him also pursued closely, all the way (bows), crossbows and hidden weapons were fired all the way, Jiang Ping, who danced his sword tightly, let the arrows be as numerous as locusts, and none of them could pass him. , flying to the stern.
Zhihua watched the fishing boat approaching, pointed his bow at the crossbowmen on board, and called Zhan Zhao and Ai Hu: "Quick! Go to the cliff and put a rope to pull them up!"
Hearing this, the two of them quickly threw their bows and arrows, took out the Ruyi sash from the treasure bag, and rushed to the cliff.
Seeing that Hutou Mountain was approaching, the boat swayed suddenly, Jiang Ping and Ding Zhaohui were staggered, and heard a series of muffled "cracking" sounds, and a two-foot-long crack was dug out at the bottom of the boat. The river gurgled in.Jiang Ping cursed, "What a killer!", picked up several broken arrows on the deck, and shot them into the gap with his hands. Suddenly, a large stream of blood gushed out, and the ship was filled with a stench.Jiang Ping's expression changed drastically, and he called out: "Second brother, be careful! The arrow is poisonous!"
At that moment, Zhan Zhao and Ai Hu had already lowered their Ruyi sash, and Ai Hu shouted loudly: "Uncle Jiang! Brother-in-law! Here! Quick! Quick!"
Ding Zhaohui was startled when he heard this, his handsome face turned red.
Jiang Ping urged: "Second brother, hurry up! Big brother block it for a while!"
Ding Zhaohui slammed on the pole again, brought the boat to the bottom of the cliff, and said firmly: "The boat is going to sink! Fourth brother, let's go together!"
Jiang Ping saw that the ship was about to capsize, and he was carrying the bones of the fifth child, so he really couldn't afford to lose, so he jumped to the stern and said: "Okay! Let's go together!"
Jiang Ping climbed up the rope hanging from Ai Hu, while Ding Zhaohui jumped towards Zhan Zhao's side. The two were hanging in the air, walking hand in hand.
Shanshang Zhihua shot down the remaining four (bow) crossbowmen with his arrows, clearing away the serious trouble behind them.
In a blink of an eye, only three feet away from the top of the cliff, Ai Hu saw the two of them getting closer, and said happily: "Okay! Alright! Fourth uncle, brother-in-law, finally climbed to the end!"
Jiang Ping scolded with a smile: "You naughty monkey, why don't you call your elder sister Second Aunt Ding, instead, your Second Uncle Ding will be demoted for nothing!"
Ding Zhaohui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and couldn't help but lowered his head, and suddenly saw a masked man in black standing on the cliff, holding a mobile phone, aiming at the bone jar hanging on Jiang Ping's chest!With a flash of light and shadow, he flew forward, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight into the river like a kite with a broken string.
"Second Brother Ding!"
"Brother-in-law!"
