The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 256 Crossing the River to Chase
In fact, Ergou and others were careful enough in covering up their whereabouts.

However, the external characteristics of their group were too special, especially when they were crossing the Yellow River at night.Normally, one would have to wait at the ferry all night, and could not cross the river until dawn.

But Ergou and the others were worried about long nights and many dreams, so in order to cross the river as quickly as possible, they had to spend more money to find the man to cross the river wildly.

It should be noted that the Yellow River is very rough at this time of year, so you have to be careful when sailing during the day. If you want to cross the river by boat at night, ordinary people cannot do it. Only those with great ability in the water can do it.

The ship boss Ergou and others found was such a character.

His surname is Sha and his given name is Ji. He is a strong man who makes a living on the water of the Yellow River. His boating skills are first-rate and he is good at water. He can go into the bottom of the turbid Yellow River to catch turtles with his bare hands, so he has a "wave bottom" The nickname "Ao".

This guy is usually good at doing business without capital, which can be regarded as the same profession as Zhang Heng, the "Chuan Huo'er" in "Water Margin". However, one advantage of Sha Ji is that he knows how to measure and often only robs wealth without hurting his life.

Moreover, his method of robbery is very secretive, and his technical level is more than ten times better than that of Zhang Heng and others. In many cases, the victims do not even know that they have been fooled.

How do you do business in Shaji?

Every time he fell in love with a guest he wanted to rob, he would not rob them directly and blatantly. Instead, he would drive a shiny broken boat to pick up the guests and ferry them there. When the boat carried the guests into the middle of the Yellow River, leaks would begin. danger.

At this time, Shaji will advise guests to throw their heavy belongings into the water to reduce the load of the boat and prevent the boat from capsizing too quickly.

Normally at this time, most of the guests would sacrifice their money to save their lives, and Shaji's boat would just wait until other boats passed by, allowing the frightened passengers to escape by chance.

Of course, that useless ship will definitely "sink". In this case, the guests will lose their money, the ship will sink, and both sides will suffer losses, but ordinary passengers will not be able to say anything.

But if there is a tricky guest who refuses to give up, Sha Ji will be so angry that he will not think about it and jump directly into the river to "kill himself". In this way, no matter how arrogant the guest is, he has no choice but to accept his fate.

Of course, all this was done by Saki and his friends. The places where he waited for the guests to leave their belongings were also special areas with slow water flow. After the guests left, Saki went to the waters to salvage the belongings and collected them for his own family. In the bag.

Due to the meticulous workmanship of this Sha Ji, there have been very few mistakes for more than ten years, and even many high-status officials have suffered from it without realizing it.

It's just that this guy has done a lot of business, and after his family fortune has grown, a Buddhist monk has targeted the family property.

Those great monks were all greedy masters. They not only coveted Sha Ji's property, but also his way of making money. After in-depth investigation, the monks discovered Sha Ji's way of making money. The secret.

Don't mention it. A talent like Sha Ji's is the special talent that the monks like best. However, they spent a lot of time to get Sha Ji's family into Buddhism. In order to accept Sha Ji's heart, Poe The great monk of Tai Temple even specially accepted Sha Ji's son Sha Zhichang as his disciple, and even taught him some of the true skills of the monks.

From then on, the Shaji family had a Buddhist backing and seemed to have more confidence in their actions, thus becoming the real overlords of Chenqiao Ferry.

Ergou and the others wanted to find someone to cross wildly, so naturally they couldn't avoid the business of Shaji's family.

The key is that Ergou, who was waiting for his escape this time, took several pairs of captured armor with him.These armors were usually not seen in the light, but they had to be wrapped up and covered up, and no one else could get their hands on them. However, Sha Ji and others saw them, and they only regarded the two dogs and his party as the rare super fat sheep.

It should be noted that a pair of infantry armor in the Song Dynasty weighed seventy or eighty kilograms, and three or five pairs of armors weighed several hundred kilograms. However, this time Sha Ji and his gang regarded it as a lucky draw, and they only had some copper coins. There are hundreds of treasures, not to mention that Ergou and others are taking care of them so tightly, I'm afraid they are mostly red and white things!
So when Ergou boldly pursued Yedu, the Sha family and his son felt that the God of Wealth had descended from heaven, but they happily accepted the business.

The Sha family's ferry boat has been upgraded due to year-round business. If there are few guests and not much wealth, they will only have a small boat to cross the river. This kind of business can be done or not, it all depends on the preference of the Sha family father and son.

If there is a large-scale transaction, the Sha family will send out two boats, one large and one small. The big boat will carry the ferry and the small boat will escort it.

Such a big ship is bound to leak, but the same cannot be said for a small ship. It all depends on whether the victim is willing to part with his wealth.

A group of people like Ergou boarded the Sha family's ship.

In fact, the so-called big ship of the Sha family is just a awning ship with a load of no more than one or two tons. This kind of ship is suitable for transporting both passengers and cargo, but it is not the mainstream of inland waterway shipping nowadays and generally cannot travel long distances.

The boatmen on the boat were naturally Sha Ji and his son Sha Zhichang.Sha Ji's appearance is not outstanding. At first glance, he looks like a weathered old boat man. However, Sha Zhichang is not like that. He is tall and thick, with thick hands and feet, and has a rather ferocious appearance.

As soon as he got on the boat, Sha Zhichang squinted his eyes, like a diligent little fisherman, and looked for Li Shouzhen and others who were carrying the package to help him, but he was coldly rejected by everyone.

Sha Zhichang was not annoyed. He just stepped aside and watched with a smile. However, at this glance, Sha Zhichang discovered a secret that shocked him. The six maids who would board the ship later were all as beautiful as flowers. , extraordinary temperament.

Of course, Sha Zhichang couldn't think of such a fresh and refined adjective in his mind. As a Buddhist layman and a warrior monk, he had read a few Buddhist scriptures, so what Sha Zhichang was thinking in his heart was:
I am a Buddha!These female Bodhisattvas have disrupted my practice again!
Speaking of which, since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty, due to various acclimatizations, many five precepts unique to Central Plains Buddhism were born, one of which is "not evil - sexual misconduct".

Originally, this clause was derived from the nature restrictions of the Sange clan in the birthplace of Buddhism. As for the nature of Sange and theirs, future generations will know that everything in the world can be controlled by Sansao, such as enchanting little lizards, hot air, etc. The soaring motorcycle exhaust pipe... (Compared to our Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, Dong Yong and others, they are a little more innocent)

Not only was the third brother of the later generations very good at playing, but the third brother of the ancient times was also very good at playing. As a result, he seriously ruined the believers in the Middle-earth who were introduced to Buddhism earlier. This led to a very unsatisfactory start for Buddhism in the Middle-earth. , although they have often relied on the power of the upper class of society to prosper for a while, they have always been unable to stop the support of the people, and the backlash of public order and good customs has caused them to suffer many setbacks.

Therefore, in order to develop, Buddhism had to localize the sect.For example, "not evil - sexual intercourse" means that a monk should not marry a wife and abstain from sexual intercourse.

Confucius once said: When eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires are not preserved.

Confucius believed that drinking water when thirsty, eating when hungry, and other things are the three desires required by human physiological instincts.

Therefore, certain physiological needs of human beings cannot be suppressed by suppression alone. The harder they are suppressed, the greater the rebound or harm will be, and they need to be appropriately channeled.

Buddhism has gone too far in this regard, which naturally makes it easier for Buddhist disciples to get carried away.

Sha Zhichang was more in line with this situation. When he noticed the stunning charm of the six swordswomen, the string called reason suddenly burst.

It's not that Sha Zhichang is incapable of marrying a wife, it's just that his family is a strong man who engages in business without capital. Even though his family wealth is rich, it will always be affected by his family background. Not to mention those high-ranking families who can't afford it. In a small household, it is impossible to find a truly outstanding wife.

But Sha Zhichang looked at the six delicate beauties, and they were the only ones who could barely conceal their appearance, but their amorous feelings were like fireflies in the dark night, so bright, so outstanding, with only a little leakage. This made Sha Zhichang a little fascinated and his mouth watered.At this moment, Sha Zhichang's mind was filled with the idea that he not only wanted to make a fortune tonight, but he also wanted to rob someone of sex.

However, as Xiao Shi boarded the ship, the unavoidable power field poured a basin of ice water on Sha Zhichang's almost unbearable thoughts. The power suppression from Di Ji made him think The urge to jump ship and escape.

Fortunately, he still had some sense, so he sat down as far away from Xiao Shi as possible, and only glanced at the swordswomen sitting around Xiao Shi with complicated eyes from time to time.

At night, it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly what is happening on the river. If you want to sail on the Yellow River, you have to rely on the experience and skills of the boat boss.Sha Ji's boating skills are really superb. Even when he was sailing on the rapids of the Yellow River, the people on the boat did not feel much bumps.

Sha Ji quickly drove the boat through the rapids, but came to a water area with a slightly gentle flow.

But Sha Ji suddenly asked: "May I ask how your husband's water properties are?"

The two dogs and the four companions looked at each other, but Li Zhu asked: "None of us are very good at water. I just wonder why the boatman asked this?!"

Sha Ji smiled and said, "I'm not talking too much, but I'm just worried about the safety of my husband. I don't know that this water surface is called Shipwreck Beach, also known as Water Ghost Ferry, which is a place on the river. It is a magical place, and every ship that comes here will sink a few to sacrifice the Dragon King of the Yellow River. If I can't save the little old man, my ship will be hit by bad luck."

Li Zhu smiled and said: "I see that the boatman's boat is brightly painted. It should be a good new boat. How could it sink?"

Sha Ji shook his head and said: "What you don't know is that this shipwreck is regardless of whether the ship is good or bad. It may be that a new ship that has just been launched sank after a few crossings, or it is possible that an old ship that has been more than ten years old can survive safely. Water, everything just depends on luck.”

Li Zhu frowned and said, "Since the boatman knew it was dangerous here, why did he take the boat out to carry him across?"

Sha Ji pretended to be sad and sighed: "There is no way. If we can't come out to work, the whole family, old and young, won't be able to chew grain. Alas! It's so difficult!"

At this time, Ergou suddenly laughed and said: "Old boatman, don't worry! I can guarantee that your sailing tonight will be smooth sailing and there will be no disasters!"

Sha Ji pretended to be happy, but said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lang, for your kind words.

But he sneered in his heart: "Ignorant child, I will teach you to be good tonight. Such comforting words are not just said casually! Let you know what it means to be in a dangerous world!"

While Sha Ji sneered, he secretly kicked the mechanism at the bottom of the boat with his foot, and then he waited for the water to seep out of the cabin.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't see any signs of water seepage in the cabin.

This is how the same thing?

Sha Ji was suspicious, but kicked the mechanism hard again.

Ergou looked at everyone over there, and Li Shouzhen winked, but Ergou smiled and shook his head, signaling everyone to calm down.

It is said that Sha Ji has been doing this kind of business for more than ten years, and not only the Buddhists discovered his little secret, but the demon suppressor is not a fool either. This guy only robs wealth, rarely kills people, and has nothing to do with evil spirits. Therefore, the demon-suppressor here ignored him and waited, and only secretly noted down this guy's actions.

Ergou and others came north, but not only did they escape blindly, but they also had intelligence support from demon-suppressing people from all over.When he went to look for someone to get out of the boat, the Demon Suppressor who was stationed here would give warnings in advance, but Ergou deliberately chose Sha Ji, an old crocodile in the water.

Sha Ji kicked the connecting rod of the mechanism more than ten times, only to break the wooden pole. However, the mechanism at the bottom of the boat remained motionless, which made him feel so anxious.

It should be noted that Sha Ji has made hundreds of transactions in his life and is very familiar with the whole process. However, he has never encountered such a situation once. Even though he is an experienced thief, he is also a little panicked.

Ergou looked at it funny from the opposite side and asked with a smile: "The old boatman is so anxious, but has he encountered something difficult?!"

This Sha Ji also had a delicate mind, so Ergou heard some words as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that you kid did it?impossible!Old man, I'm watching you the whole time. Who can cause trouble under my nose? !
However, Sha Ji didn't dare to ask directly. He just kept his thoughts inside and said with a forced smile: "Nothing! Nothing! Old man, I am old and frail. My legs are numb after standing for a long time, so I have to kick a few times." Slow down your muscles!"

When Ergou heard this, he also smiled and said: "The old man lives a hard life. He still comes out to make a living at an old age and has no children or grandchildren to take over the business. It is really pitiful!"

Sha Ji felt angry in his heart after hearing this, but he couldn't take it out on the two dogs. He only looked at Sha Zhichang, who was curled up in a ball and sneaking around, but he yelled: "Straight bitch! Zhichang, you are still cowering here. What are you doing there! Are you being a bastard?! Come here with me and take over!"

Sha Zhi had often been scolded by Sha Ji, but he reluctantly got up and came over, took the helm from his father, put the rudder oar in his hand and headed straight for the river bank.

After Sha Jikong took action, it was difficult for him to go to the cabin. After all, the luggage of Ergou and others were stored there. Sha Ji consciously avoided suspicion and just squatted aside to rest.

Sha Ji's heart suddenly pounded and he was frightened when he saw the appearance of Ergou and the other five people.

It should be noted that Sha Ji has been sailing for more than ten years. Although he does business without capital, he often ferries normally on weekdays. The man who welcomes and delivers has long developed a pair of sharp eyes that can detect the importance of people. There are real old people in the world, and there are also some vicious people who cannot be messed with.

Sha Ji sighed to himself that this was a tough time for him. Not to mention that the mechanism was ineffective, even though it was generally easy to use, some of him did not dare to really trick the other party. Who knew if there was a vicious and vicious person among them? , always blaming the hatred for losing money on his father and son, although the cause and effect does lie on his body.

In the end, the boat successfully reached the other side of the Yellow River, and then Ergou and his party stepped ashore one after another.

But Sha Zhichang was thinking about the beauty of Jian Ji and others. When he saw Er Gou and his party were about to break away, he leaned close to Sha Ji and whispered: "Dad! Why did you let these cows cross the river?! Ours Isn’t the business going to be done?”

Sha Ji was irritated in his heart, so he just scolded: "Be a bird! If things don't go well tonight, don't bother me! You're a bastard!"

Sha Zhichang didn't know his father's scruples. When he saw Ergou and the others were about to leave, he picked up an iron oar from the boat, suddenly jumped to the shore, raised the oar and shouted: "Hey! Niu Zi, listen carefully. ! A certain family is the [River-Suppressing Arhat] Sha Zhichang is also the same! You have to put down all the salutes to me, but if there are those who dare to disobey, don’t blame me for the ruthlessness of the iron oar in my hand!"
