Chapter 204 Encountering Jiangzhong
The middle-aged man is indeed a weird person, although he was dragged by Xiaocao to eat together, but it was just eating, without saying a word.

On the other hand, Xiaocao ate and praised the delicious food made by the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man never reacted, just picked up vegetables and ate without haste, and never said a word.

When Zhang Liheng and Xiaocao hadn't finished eating, the middle-aged man had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and went back to the stern without humming.

At this moment, Xiaocao stopped the middle-aged man: "Uncle, are you full?"

The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "Well, I'm full!" This time, his voice was no longer that indifferent or cold, and Zhang Liheng could hear the middle-aged man's words. There was finally warmth in the words, and Zhang Liheng's heart couldn't help but move a little because of this slight change in the middle-aged man.

While gnawing on the fish head, Xiaocao asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, you haven't told us your name yet. I'm Xiaocao, and my elder brother's name is Zhang Liheng. How about you, Uncle?" The little girl Cao is trying to get close to the middle-aged man.

After Xiaocao's innocent voice, the middle-aged man took a deep look at Zhang Liheng, then looked at Xiaocao, then turned his head back, and walked towards the stern again.But the moment the middle-aged man turned around, he spit out three words from the corner of his mouth: "Wei Canglan!" After saying that, he turned and went back to the stern.

After hearing this, Xiaocao turned to Zhang Liheng and asked, "Big brother, is 'Wei Canglan' the name of this uncle?"

Zhang Liheng nodded and answered her: "I think it should be!"

"Oh, then I'll call him Uncle Canglan from now on!" Xiaocao said.

Zhang Liheng touched Xiaocao's head, and then murmured in a low voice: "Wei Canglan...Wei Canglan...I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." He thought for a while but didn't remember it, so he had to give up .

After dinner, when the middle-aged man named Wei Canglan came up to clean up the dishes, Xiaocao also went up to welcome him, and helped wash the dishes beside the middle-aged man.When Xiaocao was still living with his grandfather in the mountain village, she also helped him with the housework of cooking and washing.

Now Xiaocao is also helping the middle-aged man wash the dishes like helping his grandfather in the mountain village. The middle-aged man did not stop Xiaocao, but let Xiaocao help by his side without making a sound.

But even though the middle-aged man didn't speak, Xiaocao was chattering non-stop, talking about this, asking about those, and whether the middle-aged man paid attention to her or not, talking and laughing alone is a joy Almost.

That night, the man in the middle lit a windproof lamp at the bow and stern of the boat, and fixed the passenger boat on the river with large anchors before going to rest.

Xiaocao pestered the middle-aged man to talk and fell asleep on the cabin bed after he was tired. Zhang Liheng used his inner strength to listen carefully to the movement within a few miles, and went back to the cabin to practice and rest after noticing any abnormalities.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Liheng felt a slight movement of the ship, so he got up immediately, and when he went out to the cabin, he found that the middle-aged man had already got up to lift the anchor and steer the boat, and there was a plate of steaming fish fillets on the table in the cabin. Porridge.

Zhang Liheng couldn't help admiring the good skills of the middle-aged man. He did a series of things such as fishing, cooking porridge, lifting the anchor, etc., without the slightest movement to wake him up. It was only when I realized it that it was amazing!

After a while, Xiaocao got up, saw a large bowl of fish porridge, drank a few bowls, and then ran to the stern to see the middle-aged man at the helm.

Seeing that Xiaocao was so interested in middle-aged men, Zhang Liheng did not stop her, because Zhang Liheng felt that this middle-aged man named Wei Canglan had a faint sense of righteousness, and he was not a villain, so Zhang Liheng did not Worried that he would be detrimental to both himself and Xiaocao.

It's just that there is one thing that Zhang Liheng still can't figure out, that is, when he closed his eyes and practiced in the cabin yesterday, he clearly felt a sense of danger.Originally, Zhang Liheng thought that someone near the passenger ship was trying to harm him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man setting up meals not far in front of him, which made him puzzled.

If it was said that someone was unfavorable to Zhang Liheng at that time, there were only three people on board at that time, excluding himself and Xiaocao, the biggest suspect was the middle-aged man on the boat.But after Zhang Liheng's secret observation, although the middle-aged man had a withdrawn temper, there was nothing suspicious afterwards, and everything was normal.If it wasn't for this middle-aged man, then Zhang Liheng and his passenger boat were parked in the middle of the river at that time, and Zhang Liheng didn't notice any changes in the river water around the passenger boat, so it wouldn't be that there were other people ambushing nearby.

"Could it be that I have an illusion?" Zhang Liheng thought in his heart, then he shook his somewhat confused head and muttered: "Forget it... let's not think about it..."

When he was bored, Zhang Liheng looked at the scenery of the river receding rapidly, and saw Xiaocao asking the middle-aged man about this and that at the stern of the boat. Today, the middle-aged man did not stop talking, but answered Xiaocao's strange questions from time to time. Weird question.

Seeing this, Zhang Liheng was secretly happy. Sure enough, Xiaocao had the ability to spread his happiness to those around him.Zhang Liheng knew that Xiaocao would not be in any danger by the middle-aged man's side, so he closed his eyes and practiced in the safe cabin again.

At the stern, Xiaocao looked at the rippling river with his eyes, and asked whatever he saw, and the middle-aged man would answer Xiaocao with a few concise words every once in a while.

Xiaocao didn't realize that at this moment, the middle-aged man's eyes were not looking at the direction of the passenger ship, but were staring straight at Zhang Liheng who was practicing kung fu with his eyes closed.

The middle-aged man stared at Zhang Liheng for a long time, and several different expressions flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was hesitating about something.

Just like this for more than two hours, the eyes of the middle-aged man were always around Zhang Liheng's body, but as time passed slowly, a struggling expression seemed to appear on his face, and at the same time With a hint of impatience.

The middle-aged man's expression was flickering now, and the expression on his face was constantly changing subtly. He was completely the same as Zhang Liheng who had seen for more than a day.

Finally, the middle-aged man suddenly heard Xiaocao turn around and call him, "Uncle Canglan, so you can steer the boat so steadily without looking ahead!"

Hearing Xiaocao's innocent voice, the expression on the middle-aged man's face changed back to the original expressionless face.

The middle-aged man looked at the front of the passenger ship, and suddenly took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, only to hear him say to Xiaocao: "Hurry up and go back to your big brother in the cabin, it's dangerous here!"

Xiaocao was stunned when she heard this, but when she saw the middle-aged man's serious expression, she nodded obediently and said, "Since there is danger, Uncle Canglan, you have to be careful!" After speaking sweetly, she returned to the cabin Zhang Liheng side.

When Xiaocao walked back to Zhang Liheng's side in the cabin, Zhang Liheng also opened his eyes. Seeing Xiaocao's expression was a little different, he asked, "Xiaocao, what happened?"

Xiaocao replied: "Big brother, Uncle Canglan said that there is danger outside and asked me to come back, but I am a little worried about Uncle Canglan..."

"Dangerous?" Zhang Liheng couldn't help being surprised when he heard that, and at the same time frowned slightly, let Xiaocao stay in the cabin, picked up the Wentian Sword in his hand, and walked towards the stern.

Just when Zhang Liheng was about to ask the middle-aged man, he heard the middle-aged man's extremely low voice Zhang Liheng said: "Go back! Protect your sister!" There was a trace of embarrassment in his tone

Zhang Liheng was even more puzzled, but when he saw the expression on the middle-aged man's face, he knew something was going to happen. Although he was puzzled, he still retreated to the cabin and put the Xiaocao called to move to her side to protect her with a whole body of true energy.

At the same time, Zhang Liheng asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle Wei, what happened!?"

The middle-aged man Wei Canglan didn't make a sound, he steered the scull with one hand, and the speed of the passenger ship gradually increased. After a while, the middle-aged man simply took another stick by his side and plunged it into the water, and shook both hands together without the helm. The scull made their boat gallop like a wild horse running wild on the Jinyi River!
Zhang Liheng saw that the middle-aged man was only focused on rowing the oar crazily and did not speak, so he had to use his true energy secretly to protect himself and Xiaocao.

At this moment, Zhang Liheng suddenly heard the sound of sharp arrows sounding from the front of their passenger ship!

Zhang Liheng was startled suddenly, there really was something going on, he hurriedly knocked the cloth curtain at the bow of the boat flying, protected Xiaocao behind him, and observed the situation ahead from afar.

At the moment when the sound of the arrow sounded, Zhang Liheng's ears could already hear that there were no less than four or fifty people gathered less than three miles in front of them!
Zhang Liheng was surprised. He didn't know how the middle-aged man knew that someone in front of him was going to hurt them, because he himself had just discovered the dozens of people in front of him.

At this time, Zhang Liheng and his passenger ship had already been driven by a middle-aged man like flying, and the three-mile journey would soon pass.

Gradually, Zhang Liheng had seen clearly what was going on in front of the Jinyi River!

Three big ships straddled the river less than a mile ahead, blocking the entire river, and there were archers standing on the three big ships and on the shore, waiting for Zhang Liheng and the others to arrive like rabbits!

Even if Zhang Liheng had made great progress in martial arts in the Calabash Medicine Valley, seeing such a battle at this time, he also took a deep breath in his heart. It was obvious that the group of people in front were coming for him.

Zhang Liheng still doesn't know how this middle-aged man named Wei Canglan knew in advance that he would be intercepted here, but at this time he had no time to think about it. one game!
　Haha, you must have thought that I stopped updating last night!
