Xu Jin glanced at the complacent Fei Maozhong, this kid was dressed in a jade-colored shirt, wearing a scarf on his head, and two streamers on the back of his head fluttering in the wind.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were very particular about dressing, and there were rules about what color and style of clothes people of what class they worn. For example, adult men of the common people generally use a net towel to tie their hair, and only scholars above Xiucai are eligible to tie their hair with a Confucian scarf, while those who are officials in the court generally wear a beam crown, and there are seven beams on the Liang crown of the first rank and six beams on the second grade...... And so on.

Fei Maozhong is wearing a jade-colored shirt and a scarf to tie his hair, which is the standard for Xiucai, obviously he already has a reputation for Xiucai, and he was a Xiucai at the age of fifteen or sixteen, if he didn't get it through the back door, it would be very remarkable!

"Brother Fei is a showman?" Xu Jin asked with a smile.

Fei Maoxian said with a smile: "My second brother is the head of this year's Xinzhou Mansion Examination. ”

"It's just a fluke, it's not worth mentioning!" Fei Maozhong said modestly, but his eyes were difficult to hide.

The so-called head of the college examination, that is, the first place in the college examination, does have proud capital, and it is absolutely impossible to get it through the back door, because no examiner dares to risk the world's condemnation and admit a guy who has no real material as the head of the case.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Fei is actually the head of this year's hospital examination, and he has to be a talent at a young age, admire and admire, well, my next link is: no talent to be a showman!" ”

Fei Maozhong listened to Xu Jin's compliment, he was in a good mood, and was about to pretend to be modest, but he was petrified on the spot by Xu Jin's lower link, and his face turned red, like a rooster held by the neck.

Fei Maoxian's eyelids jumped wildly, he really didn't expect Xu Jin's counterattack to be so sharp, the second brother has always been arrogant and arrogant, this time he kicked the iron plate and humiliated himself.

"Poof, cluck, ......!"

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells above his head, Xu Jin looked up, and saw three girls standing behind the second-story fence and looking down, and the girl who was angry and happy before was also among them, and there were several maids next to him.

This woman seemed to have become more bold when she got together, and when she saw Xu Jin looking up, she didn't avoid it.

"Second brother, this time I understand that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, giggles...... Not old Sige is old, no talent to show talent! Fei Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled backwards.

Fei Maozhong raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Little sister, the second brother usually loves you so much, and he actually helped outsiders make fun of me, I should be beaten!" ”

"Hehe, whoever makes you always boast about yourself can't get used to the way you look at no one, hey, who is that...... Xu Gongzi! ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "What does the girl have to say?" ”

Fei Xiaoyu smiled and said, "What kind of thing did you eat wrapped in leaves before?" Can you send one to my third sister, she wants to taste it! ”

"Fifth sister, you...... Nonsense! Fei Ruyi's face turned red, and she dragged Fei Xiaoyu back into the clouds, and there was a faint sound of laughter and laughter from above.

Xu Jin touched his nose speechlessly, he was actually molested!

Fei Maoxian frowned, and said apologetically to Xu Jin: "My sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and her behavior is a little perverse, which makes Brother Xu smile." ”

Fei Maoxian didn't lie, Fei Xiaoyu is smart and clever, and she is the only daughter in the family, Fei Hong is very fond of Fei Hong on weekdays, so this girl is lively and active, and often does some "out-of-line" things, such as women dressing up as men and going out to play, not having the slightest appearance of being a lady, and "flirting" with men like this just now, even a civilian woman like Xie Xiaowan feels shocking.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "It's okay, I think Ling Mei is lively and clever, it's very cute!" ”

The Fei family brothers looked at Xu Jin with strange eyes.

Originally, if Xu Jin's sentence was put aside now, it would be nothing, but in ancient times, it was different, and it was a bit rude for Meng Lang to praise the girl for being cute in front of the girl's brother. If Xu Jin is an old man, it's okay, but he is a young man, which will inevitably make people want to go wrong.

Xu Jin found that the Fei family brothers' eyes were abnormal, and then Meng Ran was alert, he seemed to have said something inappropriate, and when he was embarrassed, the bow of the boat suddenly slammed the gong.

The faces of the Fei brothers changed in unison, and they hurriedly ran to the side of the boat, Xu Jin also followed curiously, only to see that there were three more small fishing boats on the river, which were rapidly rowing towards the big boat, and they could vaguely see that the people on the boat were carrying swords, obviously not good.

Xie Xiaowan's face turned pale instantly, and she blurted out: "It's a water thief!" ”

Xu Jin was slightly stunned, is the security of the Ming Dynasty so bad that there are thieves who dare to rob ships in broad daylight?

In fact, it is not that the public security of the Ming Dynasty was poor, strictly speaking, in ancient times, no matter which dynasty had poor public security, after all, it was the era of cold weapons, the productivity was backward, the traffic conditions were poor, the thieves hid in remote places, and it was difficult for officers and soldiers to catch people even if they broke their legs.

Therefore, many homeless people who have no place to live will choose to fall into the grass and make a living by robbing houses and houses, and mountain thieves, horse thieves, and water thieves emerge in an endless stream, and the government cannot finish it at all.

Especially in disaster years or wars, all kinds of thieves have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and some powerful thieves even dare to attack towns.

Of course, the thieves who dare to attack the town are still very few after all, and the vast majority of the thieves will stay away from the towns and villages to commit crimes.

Bang bang......

The sound of warning sounded like raindrops, the ladies screamed in surprise, and the servants ran in panic and became a pot of porridge.

"Ma, don't run around, the guys on both sides, don't let the thieves get on the boat!"

Zhao Xing, the martial artist of the courtyard, shouted loudly with a single knife, and the three guardians under his command also rushed to the side of the boat with a single knife.

"The two sons are going back to the cabin, be careful of getting hurt!" Zhao Xing walked quickly to the stern of the boat with a single knife.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot from the river, hitting a family member in the throat. The housekeeper fell backwards on the spot, threw the wooden stick in his hand into the air, and fell to the deck, his throat gurgling blood, and after a few struggles, his legs were straight.

"Ahh Screams of terror rang out, and the family members were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and even several nurses squatted down.

The Fei brothers hid on the side of the boat shivering, and Xu Jin was also lying on his stomach with a pale face, but he subconsciously protected Xie Xiaowan under him.

The man who had been hit by the arrow fell not far away, and from Xu Jin's angle, you could clearly see his wide open eyes, painfully distorted face, and the blood that was constantly oozing from his throat......

Fear! A deep fear enveloped Xu Jin and made him tremble involuntarily!

A fresh life was lost like this, and it was killed in such a bloody way, Xu Jin saw the ferocity of cold weapons for the first time, and human life turned out to be so worthless!

Knock knock knock......

Several ziplines with iron hooks were thrown onto the big ship and hooked to the side of the ship, and the big boat was then slightly sideways, apparently with the ropes of thieves climbing up.

Zhao Xing, the martial artist of the courtyard, suddenly jumped up and slashed a flying rope with a swing of his knife, and there was immediately a sound of falling water below.

"All for Lao Tzu to stand up against the enemy, the water thieves are ferocious, once they board the ship, no one wants to live!" Zhao Xing kicked his feet and a shivering family member next to him.

Those family members also stood up tremblingly under the supervision of the nursing home, but as soon as they came up, they were shot over again, and more than a dozen family members all lay down, no matter how the martial artist of the nursing home kicked and kicked them, they refused to rise again.

"Yikes!" A scream sounded, and a courtyard martial artist who stood up and cut the zipline was shot in the shoulder, and immediately fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and the blood instantly stained his sleeves red.

One of the housekeepers next to him was frightened, stood up and tried to run to the cabin, but was shot to the ground before he could reach the hatch.

"Big brother, there is a guy on the thief ship who is good at archery, what should I do!" A martial arts master shouted loudly.

The duty of the martial artist of the nursing home is to take care of the house, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the main family.

Knock knock knock......

At this time, seven or eight more hooks were thrown onto the big ship, and this time they were more scattered, attacking from both sides of the big ship.

"Cut the rope!" Zhao Xing bent down and ran near an iron hook, and the probe quickly swung his knife to cut the rope connected to the iron hook outside the airline.

The other two courtyard warriors also drew gourds in the same way, but the ship was too big, and there was a cabin in the middle to block it, how could the three courtyard guards be able to defend it.

A sinister water thief in a black suit climbed the bow of the boat first, took off the single knife in his mouth, let out a cruel grin, and rushed towards the family with a knife.

Those housekeepers were lying on the deck, but when they saw the thieves on board, they were so frightened that they got up and fled, and the chickens and dogs jumped in an instant.

"Hahaha!" The thief slashed a slower man and laughed heartily with a bloody single knife.

Bang bang bang......

One after another, several thieves overturned the big ship and fought with the three guards led by Zhao Xing.

In an instant, screams and cries rang out again, and a thief who turned over from the stern of the boat rushed towards Xu Jin and the others with a cruel smile.

Xu Jin's scalp was numb for a while, thinking that this time it was over!

At this moment, Xu Jin only felt that his arms were empty, and Xie Xiaowan actually rolled forward and rushed out, and then suddenly bounced up and hit the thief's stomach.

The thief was caught off guard and was knocked back a few steps, as if he was bending down in pain.

"Hey!" Xie Xiaowan snorted, and an arrow rushed forward and kicked the thief in the face.

The thief screamed and fell straight into the river from the stern, and the single knife fell to the deck.

Xie Xiaowan picked up the single knife, bent down and retreated to Xu Jin's side, staring vigilantly at the direction of the stern, like a little female leopard with a fried hair.

"Xiao Wan...... You! Xu Jin was a little dumbfounded, he never dreamed that he was so thin that he could even afford the wind, and the well-behaved and gentle little pity in front of him was so good that he dared to marry a martial arts master!

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Wan will never let the thief hurt you in the slightest!" The little girl turned around and comforted.
