Chu Huan took the package and walked to the pier. At this time, it was getting dusk. A small passenger ship was moored at the pier. It looked quite old. The boatman in gray jumped onto the pier from the bow and was about to pull anchor and set off.

Chu Huan stepped forward and was about to board the sampan when the stout boatman walked to the side of the sampan in two steps, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, there is no spare money for you here."

Chu Huan smiled faintly: "Whoever wants you to reward me, I will take a boat to Yunshan Mansion!" He was talking, but the grass at the corner of his mouth seemed to stick to his mouth and did not fall off.

The burly boatman took a few glances and said in a rough voice: "It turns out that beggars can change places. Stinky beggars, I advise you that this Taiyuan mansion produces the most grain, and those masters and wives have spare grain to reward you. When you arrive at Yunshan mansion, there is no food. There are many here, don’t starve to death there.”

Chu Huan said lightly: "Now I want to take a boat, and I will pay you for the boat later. I am your master now, so you should be more careful in what you say!"

The stout sailor laughed, and two boatmen approached him, and one of the boatmen laughed and joked, "Smelly beggar, if you lie down on the ground and bark like a dog, we'll let you aboard, and we won't even ask you for the boat money." ,what do you think?"

Chu Huan was not in a hurry or angry, and said calmly: "My mother gave birth to me to speak human language, not to bark like a dog." After finishing speaking, he had already stepped on the sampan, which was ready to board the boat.

The stout boatman clenched his fists and said with a sneer, "Go down, come up again, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

With grass in his mouth, Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, "It's not good for you to force people too much. You only do this when you see my clothes, but I know that only the dog guarding the door can know people by clothes... ... Don't bully young people and poor people, I'm sure I'm on board today!"

The stout boatman smiled coldly, and a sailor had already copied a wooden stick beside him, and was about to make a move, but Chu Huan strode forward along the sampan without any fear.

The burly boatman cursed: "I'm looking for death!" He raised his fist and took a step forward, about to hit Chu Huan, when a cold voice said: "Stop!"

The stout sailor was stopped by the shout, turned around, and saw a man in a black jacket coming out of the cabin.

This man was stout, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a black belt on his forehead, a thick back, and a knife hanging from his waist. He strode over and said with a frown, "He wants to board the boat, why not? Isn’t this a passenger ship? As long as you can afford the money, who can’t board the ship? Don’t bully the young and poor, this sentence is good!”

Several boatmen were obviously afraid of this big man, and the thick boatman apologized and said with a smile: "Guest officer, this is a beggar, where can I get the boat fare? It takes three or four days to get to Yunshan Mansion from here, and that is the usual boat fare. How could he Can you get it out?"

The man in black sneered and said, "How do you know he can't get it out? If he really can't get it out, you can come to me later and I'll pay for the boat for him."

Seeing what the man said, the boatmen looked at each other and didn't dare to say more. The thick boatman glared at Chu Huan, and said with a sneer, "You're lucky this time, you met a nobleman. It's just that the ugly words come first. If you look like this, you must not enter the cabin, so as not to startle the guests inside. You can stay on the bow and stern decks... Hehe, you are a person who is a bed and a quilt, so naturally you don’t care about this!"

Chu Huan didn't say much, and got on the boat. Although the burly man reluctantly let Chu Huan get on the boat, he hated Chu Huan very much in his heart. Chu Huan passed by him, and he deliberately turned around and bumped him, seemingly casually. , but he exerted great strength, who knew that his bump was like hitting a rock, and when Chu Huan bumped past him, he also greeted him intentionally or unintentionally, so the sailor , the body took two steps back, and fortunately, there was a companion nearby who was quick to catch it, otherwise he might have fallen from the side of the boat into the river.

Chu Huan looked back, and jokingly said with a smile: "You can't stand still, how can you be a boatman?" Shaking his head, he looked at the big man in black, but this time he took the grass from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: " Thank you!"

The big man in black nodded, without saying much, turned and returned to the cabin, but Chu Huan followed behind and wanted to enter the cabin. The thick boatman said angrily: "I said, you can't enter the cabin in this state, otherwise You can't take this boat!"

Chu Huan frowned, turned around, and saw the stout boatman looking at him viciously, before he could speak, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes on the shore, looked up, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw Two fine horses came galloping at an extremely fast speed, and the other boatmen obviously heard the sound of horseshoes, and thought that passengers were coming, so they all turned their eyes to the shore.

Some distance away from the pier, two horses stopped suddenly, and everyone could vaguely see them. The passengers on the horses were all in black clothes, but they were all wearing bamboo hats, so they couldn't see clearly.

The boatman who was anchoring on the shore shouted loudly: "Are you two going to go south by boat? The boat is about to sail, and I invite the two guests to get on the boat quickly!"

Those two people remained silent, everyone was wondering, but they saw the two people suddenly turned their horses' heads, galloped fast, and soon disappeared, the boatmen looked at each other, in doubt, a man came from the side of the cabin The old man in his 50s scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you need to work?"

Only then did the boatmen come to their senses, and the burly boatman said: "Boatmaster, the sun has already set, I'm afraid there will be no guests coming, should we go?"

The owner of the boat was surnamed Pan, and with seven or eight boatmen under his command, he went to the bow and looked around. The shore was deserted and there was no one there. He nodded and said, "There are enough people on the boat, let's go like this!"

Immediately, a boatman gathered the sampan and raised the sail, ready to sail.

The stout boatman seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the cabin door, only to find that the beggar-like young man had disappeared, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Damn it!"

Captain Pan was beside him, and when he heard him swearing, he lowered his face and scolded: "Xue Lao Liu, how many times have I told you to correct this problem, did you eat poop? Does your mouth have to smell like this?"

The stout boatman Xue Laoliu said awkwardly: "Captain, a beggar got on the boat just now...!" Before he finished speaking, Captain Pan had already searched around, and said sharply, "Where is the person? Hurry up!"

Xue Laoliu hastily explained what happened just now. Captain Pan pulled his face long and lowered his voice and said: "When you arrive at Yunshan Mansion, collect the beggar's fare in advance. If not, you can go to that person to ask for the fare." , if you can’t make it up, use your own wages to make up for it...!” Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

When Chu Huan entered the cabin, he felt that the cabin was a bit crowded. It was not a big place, but it could accommodate more than 20 people. When he entered the cabin, many people in the cabin cast their eyes on him. Seeing his sloppy appearance, many people immediately frowned, and some even covered their noses, showing disgust.

It's just that when they were away from home, no one knew who's details, and they didn't dare to provoke disputes. Chu Huan glanced casually, and saw that the black-clothed man who had rescued him just now was in the cabin, so he nodded to the black-clothed man. Nodding, the big man in black also nodded, but didn't say much. Beside him, there were two men in the same black clothes as him sitting in the cabin. These three were obviously together.

Inside the cabin, there are three single cabins. The big man in black and his two companions are sitting in front of the door of the single cabin on the left. The doors of the three single cabins are all closed. Anyone who can live in a single cabin is rich or expensive. .

Seeing that there was still an empty seat in the corner, Chu Huan walked over and sat down in the corner. Beside him was a middle-aged man in a long gown. His face was thin and pale, and he held a book in his hand. Sitting down beside him, he frowned and shrank inward, as if to distance himself from Chu Huan.

Chu Huan could tell that the man in the gown was obviously a scholar, but seeing that there were two patches on the gown on his body, he obviously didn't have much fame.

However, most scholars are self-proclaimed noble. Although they may not have any future, they always regard themselves as literati. Naturally, they look down on lowly people like beggars.

It's just that Su Linlang, master and servant, was not seen in the cabin. Chu Huan knew that he must be in one of the three single cabins. Before he thought about it, the door of the single cabin on the right opened , a person came out from the room, and then closed the door instantly, but Chu Huan could see clearly that the person who came out of the room was the old man who gave him alms on the shore.

When the old man came out, someone in the cabin immediately shouted: "Old Su, come and sit here, I will make room for you!" Another person said: "Old Su, this time we are really destined to take the same boat. When I was in Yunshan Mansion, I always wanted to find you for a drink, but you have been so busy that you have no time, today is just right, I brought a jar of good wine here, and I will drink it here!"

The ones who summoned the old man were also dressed in brocade clothes. They didn't look like ordinary people, they had a lot of money. Judging from their expressions, they showed great respect for the old man.

The old man called "Old Su" smiled and bowed his hands in return. He caught sight of Chu Huan in the corner, was startled for a while, then walked over, sat down between the scholar and Chu Huan, and smiled kindly. Said: "Little brother, are you going to Yunshan Mansion too?"

Chu Huan had a good impression of the old man. The old man was obviously not an ordinary person, but he didn't shy away from his appearance. He sat beside him, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm going to Yunshan Mansion. I was on the shore just now. Thank you, old man!"

The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "No thanks, no thanks. No one has any difficulties when you are away from home. That's right, although your accent is not authentic Yunshan dialect, it still has a bit of Yunshan dialect. Could it be that little brother used to speak in Yunshan? Have you ever lived in the mountain mansion?"

Chu Huan said: "To tell you the truth, I was born in Yunshan Mansion, but later I went out and haven't returned to my hometown for many years."

The old man nodded slightly, and was about to say something when he heard crying from beside him. The crying came so suddenly that everyone in the cabin was a little surprised. Following the crying, it was the scholar next to Chu Huan who was wailing. burst into tears—
