Canglan River and Dadukou are already full of people.
This river has a very long span, and the current is so fast that ordinary boats cannot cross it. If people passing by want to cross the river, they have to wait for the daily Canglan boat.
This boat only leaves twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Of course, there are other ways to get to the Canglan River, but that would require walking another hundred miles, and it might not be possible to reach it even if it takes a day, which also forced everyone to stop.
“Boss Wu, when will the boat arrive??”
On a high platform at the ferry, there was a man in black clothes sitting. His left eye was blocked by a black eyepatch. If the predictions were correct, this man who was called "Big Brother Wu" should be
It's a one-eyed dragon.
At this time, this sturdy man's chest was wide open, and his thick chest hair was like a bun. A scar slanted down from one side of the eye patch to the ear on the other side, making his entire face appear...
Somewhat ferocious.
"The person supervising the ship today is Mr. Zhang. I haven't told you when we will get there. Just wait. Anyway, we can always come in the morning. If you can't wait, then turn left and turn north. It's easier to get there without seeing you off!"
Hearing the other party's words, there was no sound in the crowd. There is only such a ferry across the Canglan River within a hundred miles, but I am really not asking you to sit on it.
"Boss Wu, there is something urgent at home. Can you let me step in? My aunt is sick and needs to go to Jiangbei to see a doctor! This is a little thought from the family. I hope Boss Wu can help me!"
A man in linen clothes pulled a woman who was wrapped tightly in front of Wu Laoda, and then handed over a money bag, looking a little confused.
You need to queue to board the ferry from this ferry. After all, the boat only goes once. In addition to paying a fixed fare, you also need to queue.
Those who had urgent matters at home all came here early. It was actually too late for this man to come here at this time, and Mr. Wu who was in charge here was the contact person of the Zhang family here. Generally speaking, it would be better to look for this man.
If you have a seat, you can join the queue, but the price is a bit high.
This one-eyed black boss has a dark heart!
Mr. Wu first shook the money bag in his hand, and then glanced at the man below with some surprise. Obviously, this time the other person was very sincere. He glanced behind him again, and then gave the man
A look.
The man did not dare to hesitate, and slightly opened the black cloth wrapped by the woman next to him. Wu Laoda made a move with his hands, and said with some disgust: "Mother Xipi, you are unlucky, go to the stern of the boat later, don't disturb the noble man, if
If things go wrong, I will throw you two into the river to feed the fishes!"
When the man heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he hugged his fist in gratitude.
"It should, it should!"
Regarding such things, those people in line in front dared not speak out. After all, at this ferry, Boss Wu's words are the rules.
Far away from the ferry, a young man pulled a little girl and walked slowly over. Seeing that the ferry was crowded with people, he did not continue walking forward and stopped at a small tea stall nearby.
"Old man, how do you sell tea?"
The stall was run by an old man who looked a bit philistine. When he saw the young man walking in, he greeted him with a smile.
"Five cents a bowl, and some homemade food, steamed buns, and steamed buns, all three cents each. Would you like to bring some with you, sir?"
The young man frowned. Although these things are cheap, they are more than three or four times more expensive than those in ordinary places. Just like this big bowl of tea, ordinary places only cost one penny, and the most expensive ones cost two pence.
, but here it costs a full five cents.
But when he saw the ferry in the distance, he shook his head. There is nothing wrong with businessmen pursuing profits.
"My father-in-law's business knowledge is very profitable. If I go to the city, I'm afraid I can become a shopkeeper!"
When the old man heard this, he laughed.
"What the hell, I just got the glory of this place, but the old man still has to be filial to the money, and he doesn't make that much. What do you want, young master?"
"Two steamed buns and two bowls of tea."
The old man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Chenghui, sixteen articles!"
When the young man heard this, he looked at the little girl beside him and motioned for the girl to take the money.
The little girl was a little reluctant when she saw the young man's gaze. She was not a wealthy lady and was used to traveling in the world. These things were not that expensive.
"Brother Shouyi, why don't we forget it! We can buy ten bunches of candied haws!"
Hearing the girl's words, the young man smiled and shook his head.
"I don't have a problem, but you are growing tall now. If you don't eat a little, you will feel uncomfortable after a while."
After hearing this, the little girl touched her left and right hands, took out a small bag, and reluctantly put the sixteen copper coins on the table.
The old man at the tea stall took in this scene and felt a little weird.
Although the clothes on this young man are not luxurious, they are not cheap. The little girl over there has wheat-colored skin and does not look pretty. The clothes on her body are out of place compared to this young man. The two of them are
What is the relationship and how did they come together?
"May I ask, sir, who is this girl?"
When the young man heard this, he looked at the old man and said, "Is something wrong?"
When the old man heard this, he knew that he had talked too much, so he quickly waved his hand.
"No, I'm just a little curious, but it seems that you two don't have any money with you. Crossing the river over there will cost fifty coins each!"
The young man then looked at the little girl next to him, but this time, the little girl had a sad face and said, "No money!"
Hearing this, the young man touched his chin and sighed.
"Why don't we just stop eating!"
Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to have hot wheels on his feet, turned around and ran away, and then brought up what they wanted at an extremely fast speed.
The little girl watching on the side was dumbfounded. She thought that this old man was a martial arts master!
"Once sold, there are no returns!"
Hearing this, the young man laughed.
"It's scary. It's not easy even when you're away from home."
The young man did not eat, but only drank a bowl of tea, but the tea tasted really average.
The little girl ate a steamed bun, and when she tasted it was a vegetarian steamed bun, her face felt a little bitter. She could have bought a meat bun in the city for only three pennies.
But she was very conscious and pushed the other bun towards the young man.
The young man smiled and shook his head.
"I'm already inedible now!"
The old man was a rough man and did not understand what the other party meant, but the little girl looked thoughtful before eating another vegetarian bun into her stomach.
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, the young man took the little girl's hand and walked towards the ferry.
Looking at the strange combination of these two, one big and one small, the old man shook his head. Boss Wu was notoriously evil-hearted, and at this time, there might not be a place for the two of them.
No chance!
In the distance, a large ship was slowly sailing towards this side.
The little girl held the young man's hand and was still complaining about the meal just now.
The young man touched the other person's little head and said, "In the world of mortals, every word, every action, there is a reason behind it. Just like the old man just now, when he talked about the ferry, he looked a little scared. I guess he wants to
He should be the one who is filial! But to him, it can be said that every evil man has his own misfortune, and even if he really earns money, I am afraid he will not be happy in his heart."
"If you think about it this way, sometimes doing evil may not necessarily be considered evil! It's quite interesting to go back and forth!"
The little girl was still a little reluctant, after all, she just spent money in vain.
It wasn't until the young man put the twelve copper coins back into her little hand that she beamed with joy.
"Chenghui, four copper coins!"
Hearing this, the little girl became even happier.
