After passing through this hill, passing by a plain, and bypassing a place called Xiaonan Xicheng, the master and the disciple had already arrived at a more desolate place.

It has been eight months since the master and apprentice left the cottage, but the surrounding environment at this time told them that this place may have been through the most deserted area for such a long time.

Many times, I will never see any people after walking for ten days. Even if the road I take is not very remote, it is very difficult to enter some inns for replenishment.

However, as begging people, the master and apprentice have very low requirements for daily life. They rely on their own to eat, rely on their own to eat, and use whatever they have, and do not demand anything.

And now what is in front of them is a big river.

"Xuanzhou, when we pass through this big river, we will be closer to the last big city, and the journey is faster than we imagined." Li Ru said so.

"Yes, master." Li Xuanzhou is now looking forward to some things after arriving in this big city.

At least his body has not been tempered yet, and he still doesn't know what it would be like to use this expensive herb to temper his body.

In addition to this big river in front of them, there is also a small fishing village built next to the big river.

The small fishing village did not directly raise some fish and shrimp in the river, but dug many fish ponds next to the river.

These fish ponds are listed on the left side of the village like tofu blocks.

Judging from the number of fish ponds, there are about 30, and the scale should be good.

Now if the master and the disciple want to enter the other side of the river through the river, they need to take a boat. After all, this river with a span of hundreds of feet looks quite dangerous.

Even if the flow rate of this big river is not fast, it is more appropriate to ride a boat honestly if it can pass through the ship normally.

The master and apprentice went in the direction where the fishing village was located one after another.

When the sun was noon, they had already arrived at this small fishing village.

...

Li Ru took off the sunscreen hat.

At this time, the weather is already in September. The temperature here is high, the sun is scorching, and the skin sac is also a bit tingling when exposed to the sun for a long time.

"I came here for the first time. Our master and apprentice wanted to reach the other side through this big river, so I wonder if you would help you, and use some small boats to cross my master and apprentice?" Li Ru looked at a shirtless fisherman standing in front of him. The fisherman's skin was dark, just like the mud in the fish pond. It was obvious that the fisherman's skin showed a special oily light under the scorching sun. When he looked, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the loach in the fish pond. Li Ru continued with a smile, "Of course, I am still willing to bear some gold and silver on the ferry, but I don't know if you can help?"

"Of course there is no problem!"

"If you want to cross the river for twenty or thirty miles, you have to pass through our Zhao family fishing village."

"Then you don't worry, our Zhao Family Fishing Village is still very particular about doing this. Let's go and say as we walk the specific things, it's hot outside, so you can follow me into the fishing village for a rest."

Zhao Xun was so angry that he was also walking towards the fishing village with the master and apprentice who were slowly nodding behind him.

When I passed by some fish pond edge dams, I added a sentence and said, "Please follow my steps and walk slowly, so don't fall into the fish pond. The water in the fish pond is still very cold. If you are not careful, if you lose your life in our fishing village, it will definitely be bad."

Li Ru nodded with a smile.

Li Xuanzhou looked at the ground under his feet, and now he was walking towards the fishing village. The one under his feet was the fault between the two fish ponds, and a dam.

The embankment is not very wide, at most it is half a meter away from the sky.

There is no need to worry about walking in such a place, but if the weather is bad or it rains some time, the embankment is wet and slippery, and outsiders may fall down when they walk on this embankment. Then they look at the edge of this very steep fish pond. If it falls, the water is not good and no one around discovered it, then they may die in this fish pond, which will become the food for the fish in the fish pond.

"They also rely on some fishing boats in the fish pond to fish. One fish pond should be thirty meters long and at least twenty meters wide. There are dozens of such fish ponds. This fishing village is indeed very large in scale."

Li Xuanzhou thought silently, and his eyes also fell at the feet of the villagers in the fishing village in front.

The villagers were not wearing shoes, and just walked on the hot ground that was sunburned, as if walking flat, and walking was on the outside of the embankment.

Every ten steps he had to take three steps, he was just stepping on the edge of the fish pond. Some of the dams at the edge of the fish pond were not firm, so he could see a lot of dry soil being broken by him.

These soils were as big as fists, and they slid down a steep slope of more than ten feet deep into the fish pond on one side, splashing some water splashes in a muffled sound.

"The water quality of these people should be very good, but it is understandable. They are all people who live in fishing villages all year round. If they don't have some water quality, it is indeed unrealistic."

In this way, the master and apprentice followed the villagers into the fishing village without saying a word.

At this critical moment, most of the people in the fishing village have not yet gotten up. They are lying in a daze on all kinds of cold beds, leaning together to chat and kill time.

And they also saw two people, an old and a young man, entering their fishing village.

They just looked at it, and didn't take it into their hearts. They were still playing with some dice and other things. The dice fell into the mud bowl, and crackling sounds would appear from time to time.

The master and the disciple finally entered a wooden shed with air flowing on all sides and supported by only four pieces of wood.

These are simple straw sheds.

The weather is hot, and ventilation is even more uncomfortable, but the quiet and slowly flowing river next to it can still feel the unhappiness of dampness and heat.

Zhao Xun continued to speak at this time and said, "The ferry fee is cheap. I only need two taels of silver to send you across this river."

"Two taels of silver?" Li Ru's face showed some subtle expression, "Is this indeed a bit expensive?"

Two taels of silver!

Even if the river is hundreds of feet in front and behind, the river surface is extremely stable, which is not a dangerous thing. It can be completed in just half an hour.

It takes only half an hour to spend two taels of silver. What does this mean?

Two steamed buns cost only one cent, and one tael of silver can buy two thousand steamed buns. This is something that can be done in reality!

However, just crossing the river requires four thousand steamed buns?

This is no longer a simple crossing of the river, but it feels like it is cheating.

"What's expensive?" Zhao Xun's dark face showed a lot of unhappiness. He didn't know where to touch a palm fan. After squirting the palm fan twice, he pointed to the river more than ten feet away. He said casually, "You old man, don't look at this river and think things are simple. Do you understand that it can surpass the people in our fishing village? I tell you that the river looks calm on the surface, but in fact it's very dangerous. There is even undercurrent undercurrents under the surface of the river. People in our fishing village dare not say that they can swim directly. You are carrying so many luggage. You will definitely not be able to do it."

Zhao Xun was already determined to be a young man, and when he talked about this tone, he was already very proud of himself.

"Besides, when others come to cross the river in our fishing village, they spend more. I think it's not easy for you, both old and young, and they have collected a lot of gold and silver. Otherwise, I'll tell you, if you meet a boat in the city to take the exam, our fishing village will go out in one boat, which passerby will not leave these five taels of silver? Now I'll support such a big boat and send you over there. It only takes two taels of silver. You travelers will only take one tael of silver all the way through, and you will never be too petty for this tael of silver? Then you really have no intention."
