Su Orion actually ran away with Su Xiaoye in the middle of the night, which made Yunjing dumbfounded.
If you don't want her to follow you, don't let her. Are you going to run away in the middle of the night?
Yun Jing is not too entangled in this matter. He also roughly understands Su Orion's thoughts, which is to prevent Su Xiaoye from following him and possibly causing death...
"That's all, I have seen the strange beasts and tigers, and I also know the whereabouts of treasures such as Ming's Soul Liquid. I also figured out the method of gathering spiritual energy from nature. There is no need to stay in Yunjing in Dogya County.
, those people from the rivers and lakes who have gathered here, let them take care of their grievances and grievances. I am not in the mood to get involved. It’s time for me to continue my next trip..."
After browsing the letters left by Su Orion, Yunjing packed up and continued on his way.
The letter Su Orion left for Yun Jing contained very little content, and I don’t know how many brain cells he racked his brains to death before he managed to come up with a reason why he had to take Su Xiaoye away due to an emergency. It was considered difficult for him.
.
I don’t know if Orion Su will be embarrassed when we meet in the future, probably not, he is so thick-skinned.
It is worth mentioning that Su Lihu’s handwriting looks like a dog crawling...
After carrying his luggage and leaving Dogya County, Yunjing headed east, traveling thousands of miles. After nearly a month, he arrived at Jinshui Ferry after a long journey.
It's late summer and early autumn.
The grass and trees have begun to wither and turn yellow, and the crops in the fields are about to reach harvest season. The heavy fruits on the crops look particularly pleasing, which is the hope of life.
It took nearly a month to walk thousands of miles. Yunjing's journey was not slow. He was not in a hurry. He experienced different towns and villages and saw all kinds of life, which was not boring.
It's just that the mood along the way can't be said to be very beautiful. After all, most of what he saw was the life of the working people. If labor is also a kind of beauty, he actually saw the "most beautiful scenery" in the world.
One afternoon in early autumn, the dusty cloud scene stood at the so-called Jinshui Ferry, which was once messy in the wind.
"Is this the Jinshui Ferry?"
Looking at the cloud scenery in front of me, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Before that, he thought that Jinshui Ferry should be a large wharf with thousands of sails competing for the flow, goods going south and north piled up like mountains, and people flowing in and out in an endless stream. It could be called "gold flowing and silver flowing". Otherwise, I would be sorry.
These are the words Jinshui Ferry.
But what did he see?
In the barren mountains and overgrown weeds, a dilapidated pier built of wood stands alone on the riverside. The wooden boards are broken into pieces, and a few crows are croaking. It is as desolate as it can be, not to mention the endless flow of people and boats.
, not even a ghost can be seen.
Scratching his head, Yunjing seriously suspected that the boy in the field who gave him the way two hours ago was deceiving him. Can such a broken pier be called a ferry?
Should I go back to settle the score with him?
"But the problem is, the broken wooden board beside the pier has the words Jinshui Ferry clearly written on it. That's it..."
Yun Jing was extremely confused. Would there really be a ship passing by such a desolate and remote place? Even if there was, when would it come? When would he have to wait before he could board a ship heading north?
It's afternoon, and it will get dark in a few hours. In this deserted mountain, with no village or shop in sight, why are you just waiting like this?
Skull pain...
Walking onto the pier on the creaking wooden boards, Yunjing sat at the front and watched the river in silence as the river breeze blew.
Although this dilapidated wharf is not very good, the Li River in front of us really shocked the scenery.
The Li River is said to be nine thousand miles long, running through almost the entire Dali Dynasty. This is really not an exaggeration.
The section of the river where Yunjing is located has gentle water flow and can be described as vast expanse of blue water. When he looked at the other side with his naked eyes, he could only vaguely see some outlines.
"The current section of the Lijiang River is at least ten to twenty miles wide!"
He estimated the width of the Li River in his mind, and then Yun Jing looked around, where is his boat? It's such a big Li River, you should have a boat. You can't even see a fishing boat, let alone a merchant ship. This
Is it reasonable?
I waited until it was almost dark, I waited until the flowers were about to wither, and I waited until the clouds were impatient. I was thinking about whether to fly to find a boat, but finally there was a boat slowly coming downstream.
Coming.
It was a gorgeous building boat, nearly fifty meters long and five stories high. It was so lively with birds and birds flying on it, it was obviously a flower boat.
This is not what Yunjing sees with his naked eyes, but what he observes with his mind.
The flower boat was sailing in the center of the Li River. Unless Yunjing flew over, no one would be able to hear her screams, let alone come to pick her up.
"The flower boat, the wealthy people on it are traveling around the mountains and rivers, and they are accompanied by beauties. Gee, how can I attract their attention and come to take me there? Do you really want to fly there?"
While Yun Jing was thinking about this problem, he 'saw' with his mind that a small boat was put down from the huge flower boat. The flower boat itself was still driving on the river, and the small boat was quickly heading towards him.
"Is this because you know there is a dock here, so you send a boat here to pick up the guests?"
The fact is that Yunjing thinks too much.
Soon after, the small wooden boat, less than three meters long, arrived not far from the pier. There were three people on it, one was a rower, and the other was a burly martial arts practitioner with a middle-grade acquired talent. In the hands of the martial arts practitioner, he was carrying a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
young man.
The boat approached the riverside. The martial arts practitioner casually glanced at the cloud scene on the pier, then glanced again..., ignored it, and used a clever move to throw the young man with a bruised nose and face in his hand onto the pier. With a bang,
Another piece of the already tattered pier plank was smashed.
"Bah, you poor man, you're a fool if you don't have any money. If you ask me, I should throw you into the river. Why does our boss have such a good heart? It's annoying to make a special trip to a certain family..."
The martial arts practitioner who abandoned the young man cursed.
Looking at the young man next to him who was grinning and not daring to say a word, Yunjing looked at the boat a few meters away. It was getting dark. He didn't want to miss the boat he had waited so hard for, so he clasped his fists and said: "This
Big brother, I am a student named Yun Jing. I have been studying here and want to go to the north. I wonder if you can give me a ride? I can pay for it."
The other party looked Yun Jing up and down and said happily: "It's not impossible to send you a paragraph, but how much can you pay?"
"Um, I wonder how much you're asking for?" Yun Jing asked.
The other party said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The small boat under my feet is not for carrying people. The big ship is on the river. If you want to board the big ship, the boarding fee is one hundred taels of silver. After boarding, there are many entertainment items, which cost you
It's not small. Does the young master need to take a boat?"
Hearing what he said, Yunjing smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Yunjing didn't have much money with him to begin with, but now that he has spent it all the way, he has less than fifty taels of silver left. And to go to the big flower boat, the boarding fee is one hundred taels, let alone
The cost of going up there is unaffordable...
"It's a pity that he looks like that. If you had the money to board the boat, there would be many young ladies who would do it for free...", the other party curled his lips and muttered, and then looked at him to signal the rower to leave quickly.
The boat left, and only Yunjing and the young man who was left behind were left on the dock.
The other person was about twenty years old, and he looked like he was a scholar, but his clothes were torn in some places, and he didn't show much respect when he was left behind. He had obviously been beaten, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He was very embarrassed, so his appearance was not good for the moment.
judge.
After the boat had gone away, the young man who had previously been submissive and didn't dare to say a word stood up, grinned, punched hard in the direction of the boat's departure, and whispered, "A dog looks down upon others. I'm just short of money for a moment, but actually...
You have humiliated me so much, and I will not go if you ask me to go in the future..."
Looking at the cursing young man, Yunjing kindly reminded him while he was breathing: "Brother, the other person is a martial arts practitioner. He has sharp ears and eyes. Although there is a distance, he can probably hear what you say."
"Uh..." The young man's face suddenly froze.
The next moment, a copper plate flew across the sky and hit the young man's already bruised and swollen face with a bang. Then the copper plate hit him with such force that he fell into the water with a crash.
"Poor man, you don't have money to spend money on the boat and it's natural for you to be kicked off, but you are not convinced? No matter how good my temper is, there is a limit. If you force me to come over and break your legs!" At this time, a cold voice from the martial arts practitioner came from the boat.
snort.
How dare the young man who fell into the water dare to push forward? He seemed to be unable to swim and was splashing in the water. He said to Yun Jing: "Brother, pull me, I'm going to drown."
Yun Jing wanted to laugh, but held it back, pulled him up, shook his head and said, "Brother, why are you doing this?"
The wet young man was pulled up and spat a few words, then turned over and lay down on the pier, crying without tears: "I just wanted to say a few words to vent, but I didn't know the other party could actually hear me. If I had known, I would have let them go further."
It’s one o’clock”
Glancing at the boat going away, Yunjing muttered: "We are really far away now. He probably won't be able to hear anything you say."
Opening his mouth, the young man was obviously frightened. In the end, he didn't say anything unpleasant. He sat up and looked at Yun Jing in embarrassment. He wiped the water from his face and said awkwardly: "Forget it, I don't have the same experience as them.
It makes you laugh, by the way, what realm is this?"
You've spent all your money on love, and you don't even know where you've gone?
Pointing to the broken wooden board not far away, Yunjing said: "This is the Jinshui Ferry." After that, Yunjing reminded him kindly again: "There are no homes around here within a radius of 20 to 30 miles."
His expression froze again, the young man looked at Yun Jing, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Brother, you and I are both scholars. Even though we met by chance, you can't just ignore me, right?"
"What do you want to do?" Yun Jing took a step back without leaving any trace.
The other party said with a look that you know how to deal with: "Jianhu is in urgent need. Borrow some money so that we can leave this hellish place after a boat arrives. Don't worry, I can write you an IOU. When I go back, I will pay it back a hundred times. My family is very rich."
, I ran away secretly this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
"When everyone is in trouble when away from home, it is the duty of the rivers and lakes to help the emergency, so there is no need for IOUs." Yunjing said with a generous expression, then he dug around and found five copper coins, and after thinking about it, he took two back.
, and handed the remaining three to the other party.
Looking at the three coins handed over by Yun Jing, the young man fell into isolation...
