This is true. I was panting like a blower as I was walking fast in the afternoon, but the old man's breathing was a little rapid. From this point alone, it can be clearly seen that his body is much better than me. Although I am much younger than him, this is exactly what makes me unbalanced.

"Young people, don't be discouraged at any time. Have lofty ideals." "I have ideals, but I don't have confidence." I directly pushed back the old man's empty truth, "Your body is indeed a little weak now, but this is not impossible." I knew he wanted to change the topic, but I don't care. Originally, I had no idea about money. Now I think it's good to have food and drink like this. I just wanted to tease the old man, and I didn't really want money. And the old man's words successfully aroused my curiosity, so I immediately asked, "What's the solution?"

"That's it---" the old man showed his punctual expression in front of Liu Cheng, "Speak quickly! Otherwise, expose you next time." "Young people are impatient when encountering things." The old man glanced at me, "Actually, you just need to practice the martial arts of this sect." "I want to lie to me again. Didn't you say that the current world has been polluted by black air and can no longer practice?"

"Of course, advanced skills cannot be practiced, but basic things can still be practiced, especially the skills of this sect are completely different from other sects. The first thing to pay attention to is the cultivation of one's own soul. The first half of the exercises does not need to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, so you can still practice now. When will the soul be stronger, your body will naturally become stronger." "Then when will you teach me to practice?" I asked hurriedly, "Of course this environment is not possible now, let's talk about it after you get home." "So you still have a home?" "Of course, otherwise you think I live there." "I always thought you were the world's home and wandering around in the world." "Nonsense! You are from a famous sect, how could you not even have a family?" The old man started to whisper and stare again.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't it be okay?" I quickly stopped him and continued to ask, "Where is your home?" "It's on an island outside the entrance of this river. After arriving at the next city, we can take a boat directly and it will be available in three or four days." "Why not take a boat here?" I asked curiously. When I was on the road in the afternoon, I saw ships coming and going on the river. Although they were all small wooden boats, it would be fine to carry two people. Moreover, it was quick and labor-saving, which was much better than hiking.

"What do you know!" The old man looked at me with a look of regret. "It's too conspicuous to take a boat, and if someone chases me, I can't run away." "Is there a bloody lesson?" I said with a smile, but the old man just 'humds' and didn't say anything, but I remembered a question. "It turns out that you just want to go home these days, not to help me find a brother." "It's the same way as finding a brother and going home, can't you?" "I just knew you were not so kind." I replied to the old man vaguely, and a sleepy feeling surged up. I found a place in a daze and fell asleep.

The next morning, I was woken up by the old man. After eating something, I started to rush on. The old man walked steadily in front, while I followed in a daze, and yawned all over the sky. It was like I was addicted to drugs. I walked a long way to wake up. At noon, I just ate a little and then continued to walk until very late before sleeping in the open. And I spent the next few days like this. This kind of life made me complain. It turned out that liars were not so easy to be. I was very excited when I cheated money, but it was really hard to run away.

After walking for more than twenty days, we finally arrived at the next city. Strictly speaking, it was not a city at all. At most, it was just a small dock built by the river, with only a few dilapidated streets and no city walls around it. However, there were many boats along the river, and countless people were busy loading or unloading all kinds of things onto the boat or unloading them. The scene was quite lively. After arriving here, the old man did not stop for much. He soon hired a boat and urged the boatman to replenish food and water, and then set sail immediately.

The father and son rowing the boat are both fathers and sons. They don’t know what their surname is, but only know that their father calls Uncle Fu’s son Fusheng. The name is very connotational. On the one hand, they hope that their son will be blessed, and on the other hand, they also clearly tell everyone that the son is born by Uncle Fu.

In fact, even if you don’t look at the name, you can understand that these two people must be father and son, because they look very similar. They are both short and thin, dark skin, and look very solid. Their years of life in boat workers have caused thick calluses on their hands, and they are a little introverted. After seeing us, they just said hello and stopped talking, and just focused on doing their own things.

Of course, I didn't have much interest in such an ordinary father and son. I just looked at it habitually and turned my attention to the small boat under my feet. It was a very old wooden boat. As soon as I got on the boat, I smelled a faint smell of fishy smell.

The entire ship is only more than ten meters long from front to back, and the width is only allowed to accommodate two people walking side by side. It looks very simple and does not even have a cabin. It only set up a shed in the middle of the ship to shelter from the wind and rain. The stern of the ship is filled with food, water, and other messy daily necessities, and there is not even a place to run, making the boat, which is not big, even more crowded.

This is my first time taking a boat, but I didn't expect that the precious first time I gave such a dilapidated boat. In my impression, such a boat can only catch small fish on the shore, and can't even go to the deep sea farther away. Now I have to ride it on a long distance. I seriously doubt whether it can really reach the destination.

I have long been accustomed to the old man's stinginess. I didn't expect him to get a good boat, but this boat was a bit broken, but the boat was all made of wooden from beginning to end. Even if it broke up halfway, I should be able to escape by grabbing the wooden board on it. This discovery made me feel much more at ease.

The boats began to set sail, and there were all kinds of wooden boats everywhere, some of which were slightly larger, and some were smaller than the one we were on. The rivers near the pier seemed extremely crowded. Uncle Fu drove a small boat and quickly passed through countless ships, always avoiding them at the last moment of the collision, but often there was a slight collision.

People here have long been accustomed to such situations, and they can't see any abnormal expressions at all. If the two rowers are familiar with each other, they will greet each other enthusiastically, and sometimes make a few vulgar jokes. Even the old man is very calm, but I am so scared that I am frightened. When the boat first avoided it, I was shocked and sweated all over the place. Then for the next ten minutes, the cold sweat came out all over the body, and it never stopped.

Finally, the boat we were riding left the dock, and the river channel ahead became empty. Although there were still many ships shuttled back and forth, the distance between them had been widened a lot, so there was no need to evade like juggling.

After looking at the dock that was gradually fading behind me, I was still a little scared. On the one hand, I admire Uncle Fu's sailing skills and on the other hand, I deeply felt the simplicity of the people in this world. If this happens on the roads of modern big cities, I guess I have already made several bowls of brains now.

After entering the open river, the boat went downstream, and the speed became faster and faster. When I took the boat for the first time, I saw the scenery on both sides being kept thrown behind me. I felt very surprised. After a while, something even more surprised happened. It was almost noon when we boarded the boat. Because the old man was in a hurry to go, we didn't even eat on the shore.

Originally, I didn't have much luxury for this meal, but now I can't remember how long it's been since I ate rice, and I almost forgot what it smells. Now I smell this familiar fragrance again. I almost couldn't help but shout, "Thank you for giving me rice"

The lunch was ready soon. In a rough large clay pot, I was indeed filled with the rice I had longed for. Next to it was a large bowl of fried meat from unknown vegetables, and even a large fish was stewed. It felt that the life of the boatman was much better than the villagers I had seen before.

After eating the three big bowls of rice, I was so full that I didn't even want to move. I leaned on the boat gang, holding a grass stick in my mouth and leisurely looking at the blue sky and white clouds above my head. This feeling was so comfortable. After coming to this world, I felt that God had not abandoned me for the first time. It turned out that life was so beautiful. I really hope that life would last forever. The facts were as I wished. It took more than ten days to walk from here to the entrance of the Tianhe River. At least for these ten days, I had to live like this.

But on the sixth day, I couldn't stand it anymore. I ate the same meal for three meals a day for six consecutive days. My appetite decreased from three bowls to one bowl. What I couldn't stand the most was the loneliness that I couldn't stand. Since I got on the boat, the old man had to eat and sleep. Either he was thinking about things like an old monk entering into a meditation. His appearance made me unable to bear to disturb him, so I had to try to talk to Uncle Fu and his son. But after trying a few times, I found that the words of the father and son were basically "well, ah, yes". Or they just smiled at you, and they didn't look perfunctory or hate me, but they were introverted and unhappy with others. So I had to stop making things difficult for them and think about finding something to relax.
