ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 424 "Crossing the Yagong River Dangerously"

After the fourth day, the ship from Xiangzhou arrived in Luzhou.

After getting off the boat, they traveled another fifty miles to the border, until they reached the desolate Shanshi Town, a group of people stopped the reins at the door of an inn.

The handlebar in charge of the carriage saw that the national border was tens of miles ahead, and he didn't want to get in, so he ran towards Shaoyun as soon as the carriage stopped. "My lord, just ahead is Tubo."

Seeing him deliberately running over and saying that Tubo was ahead, Xiang Shaoyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Don't you want to make money?"

Although I don't know what he is going to do in Tubo, but he has parents, wife and children, so how can he take risks with him.

"My lord, there are battalions guarding the border layer by layer, just like Ruru." Zhiru's handlebar-like face mourned, "If you are caught, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die."

"Don't worry, the war has not yet started, and the soldiers are all in the barracks. At most, they will patrol the horses every day, and everything will be fine." He didn't want to slander Jin Caiye, who stinks of alcohol.

Seeing that his will is so determined, the handlebars knelt down on the ground with a sad face, "My lord, I beg you to spare the villain. The villain still has a mother at home." Steamed bun money, why take the risk of beheading.

Yun Richu who was in the car heard the conversation outside, opened the curtain and called out: "Master, since the driver is unwilling, let's not make things difficult for him."

Hearing her words, the handlebars kowtowed excitedly and shouted: "Thank you Madam, thank you Madam."

"Okay." Seeing that he didn't leave, Xiang Shaoyun was also very helpless, took out two shiny silver coins from his arms and said, "Move the person in your car to the car."

"Yes, yes, yes." The handlebar-style who took the silver was pleasantly surprised, and after putting the silver in his pocket, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work immediately.

The villages and towns on the border are dilapidated and sparsely populated.After stagnating for a while in the deserted Shanshi Town, after buying some dry food from Shaoyun, he drove the car full of people and parted ways with the handlebars.

The carriage was driving on the desolate mountain road, and the sound of grunting wheels and horseshoes echoed in the forest. Even though it was sunny and daytime, the desolation made the two women in the carriage tremble and their scalps tingled.

I heard the wind blowing through the leaves rustling, and the dead leaves and weeds were covered in the middle of the road. According to the length of the weeds growing in the middle of the road, this road has been deserted for a while.

The speeding carriage whizzed past with gusts of wind, the surroundings were terribly quiet, and the desolation made one's heart tremble uncontrollably.

Lifting the curtain of the car, looking at Yun Richu outside, Qian frowned, and said in a low voice: "Master, this road is so gloomy, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful." She used to be a bandit, and she was familiar with the bandit's crime routine .

"Chu'er don't worry." Xiang Shaoyun kept his head still, controlling the speed of the car and said, "Dazhou has sealed off the border, land and water are barren, and business travelers don't leave their goods. If bandits set up an ambush here to rob, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death."

Hearing his dismissive words, Yun Richu shook his head lightly, and advised cautiously: "Master, be careful. Although the border is locked, there are still business travelers who are driven by interests and take risks."

"Don't worry, there are a large number of camps on the border of Da Zhou, how dare bandits run rampant on the border?"

His words really silenced Yun Richu, and he sighed deeply, "I hope so."

The fast-running carriage drove the people along for several hours, and the narrow road gradually widened. Xiang Shaoyun heaved a sigh of relief until the stretch of Mount Hao, the lush grassland and the rolling river appeared.

Staring at the surging water of the Yagong River, Xiang Shaoyun finally dared to shout: "We have crossed the border."

"Husband, change your clothes quickly." The two countries were in a sensitive confrontation, and it would be easy to suffer a dark loss if they didn't change back the Tibetan clothes.

"En." After stopping the carriage, Xiang Shaoyun took two sets of clothes from Yun Richu, tore off the drunken person on the board, and immediately hid in the jungle by the river with a dark face.

Seeing him walking into the woods, Yun Richu gently said to Yang Yang beside him: "Yang Yang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine at the beginning of the day."

"Well, let's change into clothes."

Liu Yangyang took the clothes from her, stopped talking, and began to loosen the clothes for himself.This is her first time going out, and now she has lost her way.

Dragging Jin Caiye, Xiang Shaoyun's face smelled like a stone in a latrine, and he kicked the man lying in the grass yelling for wine, "Get up."

"Wine, give me wine." Jin Caiye, who was still drunk, regained consciousness a little, and then began to yell again.

"Damn it." After dressing up, Xiang Shaoyun squatted down, pulled up the lump of mud, stared at the dirty man in front of him, and helped him take off his clothes in disgust, still muttering. "He really doesn't know what Yang Yang likes about you."

After changing their costumes, Yun Richu and Liu Yangyang saw Xiang Shaoyun walking out of the woods, his strong arms still tightly supporting Jin Caiye who was still drunk.

Yang Yang, who was wearing Tubo clothes for the first time, was extremely awkward, but when he looked at the man who was getting closer, he felt the same thing in his heart.Although he was still drunk and his beard was thick and messy, he was wearing a Tubo pastoral costume that really had a special flavor. Such a bold outfit made him look even more handsome and dazzling.

Xiang Shaoyun, who was half supporting and half carrying Jin Caiye, was panting. When he walked to the side of the carriage, he immediately threw the man, who was as heavy as a steel rock, on the carriage board, gasped slightly and said to the two women, "I'll go and see See if there are any boats around, don't wander around, you know?"

"Master, you have to be careful yourself." Yun Richu urged like a day for thousands of years.

"Yeah." Walking to the front of the carriage, he untied a horse, jumped onto the unsaddled horse neatly, and galloped towards the river with a bang.

The rolling water of the Yagong River was turbulent with the waves of the yellow soil. After running for a long time, Xiang Shaoyun could not see anyone. Just when he was restless, a foreigner carrying firewood jumped into his eyes.

Seeing human traces in this desolate place like a cemetery, Xiang Shaoyun was as excited as a fly seeing a cesspit.

The whip in "Jia"'s hand swung, the horse suffered from pain, and frantically galloped towards the barbarian who was carrying firewood.

So, Xiang Shaoyun soon came to the side of the foreigner, turned over neatly, bowed and asked anxiously, "My lord, is there a boat here?"

The Tubo people saw that his clothes and gestures were according to their Tubo standards, and they immediately pressed their hands on their chests and asked, "Want to cross the river?"

"Yes."

Hearing that he said yes, the Fan people shook their heads and said, "There are no boats by the river recently."

"This" has already arrived here, what a mess without a boat, I can't walk hundreds of miles into Dali, and then take a detour from Dali, right?

Seeing his appearance, the foreign people asked again: "Are you alone?"

"Eh?" He didn't know what to do, Xiang Shaoyun heard him ask, a glint of expectation flashed across his face, and he hurriedly replied: "There are four people."

"It's a bit heavier." After thinking for a while, the foreigner compared a finger, "One tael of silver."

"Deal." Looking at the rolling river, Xiang Shaoyun was very excited. Money is not the problem, the problem is that he can't get by.

After reaching an agreement, Xiang Shaoyun told the foreigner a location, and then rode back.

But the Abbess went home to pull their own boats.

After waiting for a long time, until the dusk gradually darkened, Xiang Shaoyun saw a small boat rowing in the river. The small boat floated up and down in the turbulent river water, and it seemed that it might capsize at any moment.

"Master, is this the boat you mentioned?" Yun Richu looked at the river in disbelief, feeling terrified in his heart, can this boat hold five people?

Xiang Shaoyun was stunned and opened his mouth wide until the barbarian tied up his boat and came towards him.

"Grandpa, girls, hurry up and get on board."

"This" looked dumbfounded at the two scared women to Shaoyun, pointed to the small boat by the river in disbelief and said, "This boat is so small, can it fit in?"

The Tibetans knew what they were afraid of, so they immediately gave him a booster and said, "Don't worry, sir, I've been fishing by this river all my life, and I haven't capsized yet."

"Won't it turn over?"

"will not."

"Then" the sky was getting darker, Xiang Shaoyun swallowed, glanced at Yun Richu and Liu Yangyang, gritted his teeth and decided: "Let's get on the boat."

"Okay." The two women hesitated for a while, then lightly stepped out of the lotus steps, and walked towards the small boat in fear.

Holding Jin Caiye who was still drunk, Xiang Shaoyun and the others abandoned their horses and vehicles, squatting tightly in the narrow belly of the boat with the help of the barbarians.

The river is turbulent, and the waves are higher than the waves. A small boat floats up and down in the vast river. Except for the barbarians who are punting the boat and Jin Caiye who is drunk, the other three follow the waves up and down with one heart.

The small boat was lifted high by the huge waves, and then fell heavily. The legs of the three people squatting in the small boat were all weak, and their foreheads were covered with thrilling cold sweat, waiting to be swallowed by the big waves at any time.

"Master, how long will it take to get to the other side?" Xiang Shaoyun's hands holding the boat's plank turned white while his legs were weak, and he looked at the far side, and the blood from fright receded from his face.

"Repeatedly for a quarter of an hour." The foreigners who punted the boat were gods, completely ignoring the huge waves.

"Can it be faster"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge wave rushed over.

"what"

The screams of the two women suddenly became louder, and then immediately fell silent. Everyone in the boat was soaked from feet to feet.

Spitting out a large amount of river water in his mouth, Xiang Shaoyun squeezed the eaves of the boat tightly with both hands, and he immediately yelled, "Master, stay back, we won't cross the river."

"If we go back, we'll be on the other side." The barbarian who punted the boat said calmly, "Don't worry, you'll be fine, we'll be on the other side soon."

Liu Yangyang almost cried, shaking his head vigorously and crying loudly: "The boat is leaking."

"What?" Hearing the cry, Xiang Shaoyun felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Husband, the boat is really leaking." The terrified Yun Richu pointed to a place in the boat, all the blood from his body was drained.

Looking at her fingers, Xiang Shaoyun was covered in cold sweat.I saw a jet of water gushing out of the small cabin, and a large amount of water had already rushed into the small cabin.

Seeing this, Xiang Shaoyun put his waxy face on his face, and looked at the barbarians who were punting the boat. "Master, there is a leak."

Fanmin glanced at the little water column indifferently, and continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, it's all right."

The three people in the boat, who were about to die of fright, saw him and said that it was all right, but they couldn't take it anymore and yelled: "It's all leaking, it's all right."

Seeing how frightened they were, the barbarians who were yelled comforted them while supporting the boat: "Don't worry, when we get to the other side, the water in the boat is only half full, and nothing will happen."

Hearing his indifferent words, Xiang Shaoyun, Yun Richu, and Liu Yangyang were all speechless.

"You already knew your boat would leak." Xiang Shaoyun was going crazy.

"I patched it up yesterday, and it doesn't seem to be dry." The foreigner helped his boat find the critical point of the water leak.

"I'll go." Speechless, Xiang Shaoyun immediately cursed Ah Zhen's mantra, not wanting to say anything more, squatting tightly in the water inside the boat, praying to God that the boat would not sink before reaching the shore up.

Three quarters of an hour later, the small boat floated gently in the water, as the locals said, it landed before the water was half submerged.

As soon as the boat touched the shore, Xiang Shaoyun immediately crawled to the shore, and after helping out Yun Sunrise and Liu Yangyang one by one, he took out a piece or two of silver from his bosom, thinking about the ancestor of the aboriginal man in front of him. Eighteen generations cursed all over.

After happily accepting the one or two taels of silver, the Abbess dragged the leaky boat to the shore, overturned the boat, and the water in the boat gushed into the grass by the river.

Seeing his actions, Xiang Shaoyun asked in disbelief: "Master, don't you want to propel this leaky boat back?"

"Of course." The foreigner who didn't even think about it answered him as a matter of course.

The three people who were dumbfounded saw that he was really going to back the leaky boat, and couldn't help admiring his courage for a moment. There are all kinds of trees like birds.

"Grandpa, is there a post or village in this place?" Regardless of whether he is going to die, the most important thing now is to sell the horses and carts quickly, and he doesn't want to mess with that mess.

"Going there," the foreigner pointed his finger at the rolling mountain in the distance, "Cross that mountain, and then walk up the river, cross the bridge, and after crossing the bridge, walk along the road for about half a day and there is a village. "

Hearing that there are villages and towns, Xiang Shaoyun thanked him happily: "Thank you, old man."

"Uh, I don't think you would think of going to that village." The waving foreigner continued, "That village is very poor. There are no shops or shops, and it is impossible to have horses and vehicles."

After thanking him, Xiang Shaoyun heard what he said, three thick black lines slid down his forehead, this old man is playing with him, right?
"This" he asked weakly in astonishment: "Master, where are we going to buy horses and vehicles?"

Pointing at the mountain peak, the foreigner moved his arm to the left and said, "After crossing that mountain, there is a market there. Although it is not very lively, there are horses and vehicles for sale."

"Uh!" Xiang Shaoyun, who was listening quietly, looked at the foreigner in front of him, and seeing that he stopped talking, he asked weakly, "Is there any more?"

"Nothing."

Hearing that he had finished speaking, Xiang Shaoyun immediately bowed and shouted, "Thank you, old man."

"You're welcome, heh." After waving his hand, the Abbess turned around and pushed the boat down the river, climbed into the boat and started rowing to the other bank of the river.

There are too many good people this year, looking at the leaky boat that is drifting away, Xiang Shaoyun keeps sighing.The old man is really talented.

"Let's go." Xiang Shaoyun reluctantly picked up the lump of mud on the ground. Whoever told him that he was a man, he couldn't let the two weak girls go.
