Chapter 1903 If they weren't good people, I'd wiped them out
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If they are not afraid, they are not afraid. Why are you worried?"
Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, that money belongs to the common people! If they snatch it away, the common people will go and beat the dog without returning!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Since these gamblers bet on the money, the money is no longer theirs! Either the other gamblers or the dealer's. Anyway, the money is not a big deal for them, so why should we worry about them?"
Pang Shiwu stared at Feng Jiuxiao in a daze, "Brother, are you kidding?"
Feng Jiuxiao deliberately looked indifferent, "What am I joking?"
Pang Shiwu stared at Feng Jiuxiao's face, "Brother, even if those people are gamblers, they are not worthy of sympathy, but... but at least they are doing things according to the rules and accepting the gambling and losing! That guy who is not afraid of the cold is not the case. They are robbing hard, and they are bad in nature! Once they rob, they will inevitably hurt their lives! Brother..."
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly laughed.
Pang Shiwu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his elder brother was teasing him just now!
"Oh, brother, you're scaring me to death!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I wonder if we have been doing chivalrous things all the time. Why is the elder brother not active at all this time? I was shocked."
"Let's go, go to the other side, and you'll see the guy who is not afraid of the cold for a while!"
There is a pier upstream.
There are many people on the pier who specialize in ferrying.
There are a wide variety of ferries here, including small boats that carry people and large bamboo rafts that carry goods.
There was an oversized bamboo tray that shocked Feng Jiuxiao!
It is three meters wide and about six meters long. At least six ferrymen are needed to control it.
The bamboo raft is composed of about hundreds of bamboo tubes as thick as a child, with at least ten layers of bamboo rafts stacked. It is estimated that the load-bearing capacity is at least tens of thousands of kilograms!
As cold as today, there are almost no guests at the pier. All the ferrymen gather together to bet on dice.
Pang Shiwu went over to inquire about how to charge for crossing the river. The boss told Pang Shiwu that the charge for crossing the river was based on the head rate, which was not expensive, and a person costs fifty cents. However, the price of goods was a little more expensive, and the carriage required six taels of silver!
Pang Shiwu has learned his lesson this time, and he is silent, and then pretends to be deep, "Does there still be any discussion?"
The boss suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a strong Sichuan-Yu accent: "I think you are a foreigner and don't understand the market, so I don't care about you! It's off-season now, so my price is half of the original one, and I have calculated the lowest price for you! If you want to sit, sit, and don't sit down!"
Pang Shiwu immediately smiled, "Big Brother, I am indeed a foreigner who doesn't understand the rules, don't worry, this is the money, you can take it!" He specially asked dozens of taels of silver from Zeng Yong for emergency needs, and it came in handy again!
When the boss saw Yinzi, his face turned much better. He knew that the boy in black was not spending time with him!
When the three troop carriage arrived on the bamboo raft, Feng Jiuxiao observed the changes in the water line and sank less than half an inch! If the area of the bamboo raft was very small, the draft would definitely be quite shallow!
Chang Zijin stood on the bamboo raft, her dress roaring in the wind. She looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait and suddenly said to Erni: "Erni, I stood on this bamboo raft and suddenly remembered two allusions."
Erni also became interested: "Which two allusions?"
Chang Zijin smiled and said, "One is Cao Chong calling the elephant, and the other is carving a boat and asking for a sword!"
Erni said: "I know these two stories. The first one is about a smart man. Cao Chong is Cao Cao's son. Cao Cao asked how to know the weight of an elephant. As a result, Cao Cao asked the elephant to go to the boat, then drew a mark on the waterline, then drove the elephant off the boat, and kept loading stones on the boat until the water level reached the marking position just now. It proved that the stones were equal to the elephant, and then weighed the weight of these stones separately and added up.
It was the weight of the elephant. Cao Chong was indeed smart, I could not have imagined it. The other one who carved the boat and asked for the sword was telling the story of a fool. When a boat was on a boat, the sword fell into the water, he engraved a mark on the boat, and then prepared to find his own sword in the future. The water was flowing, and the boat was also moving. As time went by, the boat and the sword fell to the bottom of the river more and more. He actually wanted to go down the river to salvage the sword from the mark on the boat. Isn’t this a fool?”
Chang Zijin smiled and said, "Well, it's well said."
Erni smiled and said, "Oh, this was what I heard from the scholars in the village when I was a child. I can't remember the specific content clearly, but it should be fine."
Chang Zijin said: "Well, the meaning is indeed not bad. The reason why I suddenly remembered these two stories is because I thought of several questions. For example, what is the maximum load-bearing weight of this bamboo raft, do you guess they know?"
A ferryman next to him was pushing the bottom of the river with a bamboo pole to generate reverse thrust to make the bamboo raft move forward. He turned his head and looked at Chang Zijin, "This girl, you don't have to guess. We really don't know the maximum load capacity, because we have not tried how much weight it can carry. Anyway, there is no problem with a hundred people standing on it."
Feng Jiuxiao was not far away, and he became interested, "Brother, when was the heaviest time you carried, and where did the water level line go?"
The ferryman panted while pushing the bamboo pole hard, "When exactly... I forgot... But... I transported nearly 100 people that time, five or six cows, seven or eight donkeys, five millstones, twenty stone troughs, oh, the stone trough is for animals to drink water, and one should weigh at least... more than one hundred kilograms, and then... and... Anyway, our bamboo raft has ten bamboo rafts, and the water level line has passed the seventh floor! Look, now, it's less than two floors... very light... don't worry... it can't sink..."
Erni smiled mischievously in his tone and said, "Of course we are relieved, we are definitely not afraid!"
The ferry man was stunned and then smiled silly. It took a long time since he met such a lively and interesting girl. Looking at their smiling faces, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Who are you?"
"I am from northern Shaanxi, and this sister is from Jinzhong."
"Oh, that man with long blonde hair is from the Western Regions, right? Why are he a little different from the Indians and Persians?"
"Oh, his country is farther away than Persia! According to him, the Indians and Persians are all Asians, and they are Europa, so they look obviously different."
"We are quite close to Tubo, so we can often see Tubo merchants."
Chang Zijin said, "I heard that Tubo believes in the Red Cult?"
The ferry man said, "I don't know much, but I have heard of the reputation of the Red Sect."
Chang Zijin looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "Young Master Feng, I heard that Tubo believes in the Red Sect. What's going on with this Red Sect?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I am not very clear about the real situation, but I have read a book called Tubo Secrets from the mansion of Xiaohou of Qi. It records that the Tubo people call themselves Tibetans and believe in Buddhism, but their Buddhism is called Tibetan Buddhism, which is somewhat different from our Central Plains Buddhism. Our monks are called monks and lamas. There are four sects in Tibetan Buddhism, the first one is called the Nyingma Sect. The second one is called the Sakya Sect, also called the Flower Sect, the third one is called the Kagyu Sect, also called the White Sect, and the fourth one is called the Gelug Sect, also called the Huang Sect. The reason why the Red Sect is called the Red Sect is mainly because the monks of this sect wear red monk hats. The Nyingma Sect means "ancient" in Tibetan. The Nyingma Sect is one of the oldest sects in Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Master Padmasambhava."
Chang Zijin said oh, "So that's it! What's going on with the Flower Sect, Huang Sect, and Bai Sect?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The reason why the Sakya sect is called the Flower Sect is because the walls of the temple are painted with red, white and blue stripes symbolizing Manjushu Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Vajra Bodhisattva. This color combination makes the Sakya sect have a rich and colorful visual effect, so it is named the Flower Sect. The reason why the Kagyu sect is called the White Sect is because its sect monks often wear white monk robes. This white monk robes are unique outfits of the monks of the Indian monks, and the ancestors of the White Sect all learned them from India. The reason why the Gelug sect is called the "Huang Sect" is because the monks of this sect wear yellow monk hats. In Tibetan, Gelug sect means good laws and emphasizes strict adherence to precepts, so it is named. The Gelug sect was founded by Master Tsongkhapa. The four teachings and different paths are the same, but the colors of the clothes and hats are slightly different."
Several other ferrymen saw the young man in white talking and talking, and knew the Buddhist situation in Tubo as he knew it. He couldn't help but admire Feng Jiuxiao.
Chang Zijin said: "I've been taught!"
When we arrived on the other side, the three horses had just left the bamboo raft, and everyone and the ferryman said goodbye one by one.
These ferrymen left a good impression on Feng Jiuxiao!
They are not in conflict with the world, and they are content with their own self-righteousness. No matter whether their lives are bitter or sweet, they can look at the world with a kind look and face life with sincerity. There are no complaints, no complaints, no indignation!
"Do you know where the Longyou Gang is?"
"Of course I know, who doesn't know the whole Yazhou? They are in Changning Street, and you can know it any questions."
"Their gang is quite powerful? Is it the largest gang in the local area?"
"Then I don't know. There are many gangs here, but the only one who can really get on the table is this Longyou Gang!"
"What are their reputations? Are there any evil deeds that oppress good?"
"What birds are there in the forest? Even if they want to do evil, they have to worry about the government's face? So they will definitely not dare to do big bad things, but some of the goods that are not things will inevitably kill people and rob people and steal men and women, but they are just covered up!"
Pang Shiwu suddenly interrupted: "Look, let me talk? This Longyou Gang is indeed not a good thing?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "You, hindsight, are you here again?"
Bigwolf's God's Sword: "That's right, when did you say that the Dragon You Gang is not a good thing? Don't you always think that the Dragon You Gang is generally good?"
Pang Shiwu immediately came to his spirits and said, "If they were really good people, we wouldn't say anything. If they bullied a good girl, I would have to destroy the Longyou Gang today!"
In a word, if they were not good people, I would destroy them!
