At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Jisheng pharmacy in Shucheng County. Su Rende, shopkeeper of the pharmacy, often took his son Su Tong to pick herbs in the depths of the Dabie Mountains.

On this day, Su Rende had something to do and couldn't get out, so he asked Su Tong to pick herbs alone. Su Tong packed up, carried the medicine basket, and rode a donkey to Pig Head Ridge.

Su Tong was familiar with the road and picked up a lot of medicinal materials. Su Tong carried the medicine basket on back of the donkey and led the donkey down the mountain. At this time, it was getting late, and he vaguely heard a woman's cry for help: "Help, help!"

Su Tong tied the donkey and walked over, pushing through the trees to see that there was a deep pit in front of him, and a young woman was calling for help in the pit. When the woman saw Su Tong coming, she called for help: "Young Master, save the little girl!"

Su Tong didn't have time to think about it, so he agreed repeatedly, found a vine, grabbed the vine, slid under the pit little by little, helped the woman, and climbed the vine, finally saving the woman.

Seeing that the woman was very weak, Su Tong took out the water bag he carried with him and fed the woman a few sips of water. After a while, the woman recovered and gradually regained her energy.

The woman told Su Tong that she was the daughter of the rich man Song of the Song family. Her name was Song Yuan. She slipped out alone to catch butterflies and walked farther and farther, but she stumbled and fell into a deep pit.

At this point, Song Yuan suddenly grabbed Su Tong and said affectionately, "This little girl's life was given by the Youngoung Master, and she has nothing to repay. She is willing to serve Young Master all her life."

The two young men were of the same age, talented and beautiful. Su Tong had intended to express his heart to Song Yuan, but he did not expect Song Yuan to have the same intention. The lady of the boudoir shouldn't have said such a thing, but Song Yuan's face flushed and she lowered her head deeply after saying that.

Su Tong did not care much at the same time, so he took Song Yuan's hand and said firmly, "I'll go back and ask my parents to find a matchmaker to come to the door to talk about matchmaking. I, Su Tong, swear that I will marry a girl as my wife in this life!"

In this way, Su Tong sent Song Yuan back to Songjiazhuang, watched her return home safely from a distance, and then turned around and rushed home.

After returning to Jisheng Pharmacy and putting away the herbs, Su Tong saw his father, but he refused to leave. Su Rende asked, "Tonger, do you have anything to say?"

Su Tong summoned up his courage and said, "This time I saved a woman and fell in love with her at first sight."

After hearing what had happened, Su Rende laughed and said, "Song Family Village is under the feet of Pig Head Ridge." I have been collecting herbs at Pig Head Ridge for decades, and I am very familiar with Song Family Village. I have heard that the rich man of Song is also a gentle and generous person. As the saying goes, when a man marries a woman, we are also a match with the Song Family.

There was Nanyan Lake in the southern suburbs of Shucheng, and there was Hongjiazhuang by the lake. There was a matchmaker named Hong Niang in Hongjiazhuang. Hong Niang was articulate, and I don't know how many marriages she synthesized.

For the sake of his son's life, Su Rende personally went to invite Hong Niang. Hong Niang naturally agreed, even saying that this was a good marriage with a wonderful fate.

Entrusted by Su Rende, Hong Niang specially chose a good day, led Su Rende and Su Tong, brought prepared gifts, blew all the way, and went to Songjiazhuang to interview the matchmaker.

Because of the long journey, it was already dusk when they reached the ground of Pig Head Ridge, and a group of people stayed at Yuelai Inn.

Early the next morning, the group of people were ready to get up and were about to go to the Song family to propose marriage, but the innkeeper ran over in a panic.

Su Rende went up the mountain to collect herbs and often stayed at this inn, and was very familiar with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper grabbed Su Rende and said seriously, "Brother Rende, are you going to the Song family to talk about matchmaking?" Su Rende was puzzled as he nodded and replied, "Yes."

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "I can't go. Last night, robbers from Longmeng Mountain broke into Song Family Manor and snatched the daughter of the rich man of Song. Wouldn't it be a mess for you to go over and say goodbye at this time?Su Rende was shocked when he heard the words, and Su Tong stepped forward and grabbed the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you, you, you, you are talking nonsense!"

The shopkeeper said word by word: "Young Master, calm down, this is no child's play, how can I lie!"

Su Tong threw down the shopkeeper and rushed out of the inn. A clever man saw that the situation was not good and hugged Su Tong. Su Tong's eyes were red and he wanted to go to the house of the rich man Song to have a look. Seeing his son so excited, Su Rende had no idea for a while.

On the other hand, Hong Niang calmly pulled Su Rende aside and discussed in a low voice. Hong Niang told Su Rende that in the current situation, she had to appease Su Tong first, and in addition, she had to investigate the situation. She was willing to stay with a group of people to watch the betrothal gift.

Su Rende thought about it, this is fine, although it is a little abrupt to visit the door at this time, but after all, it is also for the promotion of marriage. If the Song family is really in this big trouble, the Su family cannot stand idly by.

When Su Tong heard that he could go to the Song family with his father, he stopped making trouble. He just wanted to know how Song Yuan was doing now.

When they arrived in Songjiazhuang, chickens were flying and dogs were jumping in the village, and there was no peace and tranquility in the past. The two people explained their purpose, and the servants welcomed them into the house, only to see the family crying to death.

Mrs. Song told Su Tong: "Every time Young Master Su picks herbs with his father, my little daughter is in the boudoir, looking at each other from a distance from the window, secretly loving each other. This time, seeing Young Master go up the mountain alone to pick herbs, she slipped out and deliberately pretended to fall into a deep pit, just to get to know Young Master. These days, the little girl is waiting for the Young Master to come to propose marriage at home every day. After I asked carefully, she told me the truth, and said that you would come to propose marriage in a few days. Unexpectedly, the strong man of Longmeng Mountain snatched the little girl away last night."

Hearing this, Su Tong couldn't support it anymore. He didn't come up in one breath and fell to the ground.

When Su Tong woke up, he was already in bed. He looked at his parents and cried out with a "wow," saying, "Is there any news about Miss Song? If something happens to her, my son is afraid that he will not survive."

Su Rende and his wife were in a hurry, sighing and stomping their feet. Su Rende said: "Since we have an appointment with Miss Song, and we have invited a matchmaker to come and say goodbye, how can my Su family stand by and watch this happen halfway now? It's just that Longmeng Mountain has become a strongman, and the government can't do anything about it. What can my Su family do?"

Mrs. Su blurted out, "Take money to redeem people. Jisheng Pharmacy has been in business for so many years and has saved a lot of silver taels. When my son encounters such a thing, what's the use of my Su family asking for silver? Itis better to give silver to the strongman and redeem Miss Song."

Su Rende nodded repeatedly and said, "Madam has knowledge! This matter should be done sooner rather than later, I will do it now!"

Su Tong heard that his parents wanted to take money to Longmeng Mountain to redeem Song Yuan, so he got up from bed and also wanted to go to Longmeng Mountain. Su Rende was helpless, so he had to rely on his son, but he was not at ease, so he took all the money in the family with him, accompanied by Su Tong, and went to Longmeng Mountain overnight.

When they passed by Nanyan Lake in Nanhong Jiazhuang, it was already late, and Su Tong saw a figure in the night, walking on Nanyan Lake like flying, and quickly pointed it to his father. Su Rende blinked his eyes and exclaimed, "Flying on the water!"

Su Tong used to go out to collect herbs with Su Rende, and often heard people talk about "flying on the water". This flying on the water is incredible, the martial arts are the best in the world, and it is also chivalrous. It's just that this flying on the water does not know where to live in seclusion, and it is easy to disappear. Some people hate the strongman of Longmeng Mountain and hope that one day the flying on the water can come to Longmeng Mountain and flatten this group of strongmen. Unexpectedly, I really met him here today!

Su Rende fell to the ground with a "plop", and Su Tong also fell to his knees and knelt by Nanyan Lake. The father and son begged together: "Flying Hero on the water, please save me and wait for the people of Li!" In the blink of an eye, Flying on the water came to the father and son's side. Su Tong stole a glance and was stunned, why is it Hong Niang?

Hong Niang looked at the father and son, but she was surprised: "Why are you father and son here? Who do you think is flying on the water?"

Su Rende said, "Hero, stop pretending. We all saw it. The girl of the Song family was snatched from the mountain by the strong man of Longmeng Mountain, and we took out our home to be redeemed by Longmeng Mountain. I don't know if the strong man will let her go. You are the first hero in martial arts in the rivers and lakes, how can you not save her?"

Hong Niang was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Tong first, then looked at Su Rende, and then replied: "You go first and see if you can redeem people, I will follow up the mountain!" When the father and son heard this, they thanked each other and went straight to Long Sleeping Mountain.

The next morning, the father and son went to Longmeng Mountain. The name of the big family is Black Panther, and Su Rende offered money to explain the purpose of his visit. Black Panther laughed and said, "We are strong men, and what we do is burn, kill and loot. Since you sent the money up the mountain, we will accept it. If you want to take Miss Song away, hehe, no way! While I am in a good mood, hurry up and roll down the mountain. It's too late, cut off the heads of your father and son!"

Su Tong shouted, "Thieves also have a way, we take money to redeem people, you should take the money and let him go!" Black Panther grinned, pulled out the iron whip at his waist, and roared viciously: "Rules, the iron whip in my hand is the rules."

Su Tong was not afraid, and with a desperate posture, he lowered his head and rushed forward. Su Rende quickly protected Su Tong with his body. Black Panther roared: "Okay, I will beat you two into meat mud with an iron whip!"

Just then he heard a shout: "Stop!A person ran over, and Su Tong was pleasantly surprised: "Fly on the water!"

Hong Niang pointed to the black panther and shouted sharply, "Are you the black panther? I have decided the matter of Miss Song Yuan, let Miss Su go, everything is easy to say, if you are stubborn, I will not forgive you lightly!"

Black Panther froze for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Are you flying on the water? When you go to Long Sleeping Mountain, you are panting, how can you look like the number one expert in the world!"

Hong Niang raised his eyebrows and said, "So you don't want to let Miss Song go?" Black Panther said: "How dare I not listen to what Shuifei said. But this is a rare opportunity, I have to ask for advice!" Before he finished speaking, the iron whip in Black Panther's hand hit Hong Niang with his face, and before Hong Niang could react, she was knocked to the ground by the iron whip.

Everyone was stunned, and Black Panther laughed wildly: "You, a woman who doesn't know martial arts, came to my Longmeng Mountain and claimed to be flying on the water, aren't you courting death?"

Su Tong and Su Rende pounced in front of Hong Niang and said, "You are not flying on water, why bother to go to Longmeng Mountain to die?"

Hong Niang was injured, looked at Su Tong and said, "Aren't I Hong Niang? The matchmaker who specializes in matchmaking for people, this time I promised matchmaking for you and Miss Song, but I can't have a head and a tail. Miss Song was robbed by a strong man, and I was anxious, but there was nothing I could do. I gave up, but unfortunately the strong man was not fooled by me."

At this time, Black Panther heard the clue, and he was stunned for a while. He put down the iron whip and sighed, "Stop it! I kill the rich and help the poor, but I never bully those who are powerless. Outsiders only think of me as a strong man, but I am also a righteous person, let me fulfill you." After saying this, he waved his hand and brought Song Yuan over.

The three carried Hong Niang down the mountain, and when they arrived at Hongjiazhuang, it was already dark. Suddenly, Su Tong saw a few black shadows walking on Nanyan Lake like flying, and ran to the edge of Nanyan Lake to take a closer look. In the hazy moonlight, he saw clearly: there is a embankment on Nanyan Lake that extends to the small continent in the heart of the lake. This is the embankment through which the women wash their clothes at night. These days, the lake has risen and flooded the embankment, but the women are familiar with the road, and they are still walking on the embankment, like walking on water in the night...
