Grand View

Chapter 88
Hearing what the boatman said, Liu Yunfan became more vigilant in an instant.

Although the boatman's face is honest and friendly, who can be sure that he will not do bad things from his face.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Since the incident with the bearded man last time, Liu Yunfan has become more careful. At this time, he is holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, and he can strike at any time when he sees something is wrong.

However, he still hoped that he was overthinking. After all, Niu Xiaoqiao was the one who found the boatman, so it was impossible for her to find someone who was unreliable.

However, in the next scene, Liu Yunfan understood that he was really thinking too much.

As soon as the boatman finished speaking, he saw a black figure swaying out from under the table in the middle of the cabin.

This figure looks a bit like a dog, but it's not a dog. Its nose is a bit long, but it's shorter than an elephant's and longer than a pig's. It also looks a bit like a human tapir.

Liu Yunfan looked at this unusual little animal and asked:

"Brother Chuan, what kind of soul beast do you raise? Why have I never seen or heard of it before?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, it must be the first time for you to travel by water, take a boat like mine, if so, you haven't seen it before, it's normal.

This soul beast is called Chuan Ye Xing, and it is a must-have soul beast for those of us who travel alone on water.

Because we are going down the river now, in order not to delay the journey, there will be no barges at night, so what should I do when I rest, then this small boat will go on top at night.

While it can't row an oar, it can steer, and has excellent night vision and hearing.

Therefore, it is on duty at night, and if there is an emergency, it will issue a warning, so that we can deal with it calmly.

In this way, we will have no worries when sailing at night. "

Hearing the boatman's explanation, Liu Yunfan suddenly realized that it was so. Fortunately, when he had doubts just now, he raised his sword to kill without coming up, otherwise he would have killed a good person by mistake.

Wouldn't that be like Cao Cao, who sharpened knives and killed pigs for him, but he suspected that others murdered him, and eventually killed a good person by mistake, and at the same time, Chen Gong could not be used by him.

"Brother Chuan, I've really learned a lesson this time, I didn't expect there to be such an intelligent soul beast here."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, this is so rare for you. Legend has it that there are even soul beasts that speak human words, not to mention that this is just a boat that helps the boat to keep watch at night." The boatman said with a smile.

"I still don't know what the name of Brother Chuan is?" Liu Yunfan asked.

"My surname is Li, and people call me Li Yu." Said the boatman.

No way, Li Yu!Could it be that he also came from the world?
Look at the bamboo hat on Brother Chuan's head again, it feels more like it.

"Brother Li, I don't know which word fish is your fish?" Liu Yunfan continued to ask.

"Which other fish can I fish, it's the fisherman of the Sandianshui fishermen. What's the point of that?"

Hearing Liu Yunfan's question, Brother Chuan was a little puzzled.

Afterwards, Liu Yunfan said to himself:

"The sky is against the earth, the rain is against the wind. The continent is against the sky. The mountain flowers are against the trees in the sea, and the red sun is against the sky. The thunder is faint and foggy. The sun is against the sky. The wind is high, the autumn moon is white, and the sunset is red when it rains. , to participate in the business of fighting against the west and the east..."

"Good poetry! It's really good poetry! I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to compose poetry. Although I haven't read books, I don't understand what it means, but it's really full of rhythm. It's definitely a good poem!"

It seems that there is no need to ask any more, the reason why Liu Yunfan recited "The Li Weng Conversations" is to test whether this Li Yu is that Li Yu.

Since the big brother of this boat said that he has never read a book, he must not be the Li Yu whom Liu Yunfan admires very much, and he is probably just an ordinary native of the spirit world.

Hearing the praise of 'Li Yu', Liu Yunfan didn't want to explain too much, fearing that the explanation would not be clear, so he didn't refute, and directly agreed.

"Brother Li praised it absurdly, but the younger brother just feels something occasionally and expresses it freely."

"Mr. Zhou is humble. Your casual expressions are so full of charm. If you concentrate on writing, you will be fine. No, I have to write down your poems so that I can teach my son when I go back. Although we haven't read books, we have a good memory. Fortunately, I listened carefully just now and wrote it down."

No way, Liu Yunfan was stunned when he heard the words of the big brother 'Li Yu'.

If we were bumped into by the real Li Yu in the future, wouldn't they say we stole books?

But I have admitted it just now, and if I say that it is not my poem, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of myself?

Forget it, let it be like this, anyway, even if it is discovered at that time, it will be Zhou Botong who stole the book, not me Liu Yunfan.

In order to avoid guilty conscience, Liu Yunfan stopped mentioning the poem, and directly changed the subject and asked:

"Brother Li, at our current speed, how long will it take to reach Hei Ling?"

"It's not too long, about fifteen or sixteen years." Li Yu, the boatman, replied.

Wo rub!

Fifteen or sixteen years!Isn't that too long!Does it have to be 80 years to be considered long!
But that's right, with the lifespan of a human being in the soul world, fifteen or sixteen years is just a snap of the fingers.

"Brother Li, when you sent me off, you went downstream, but when you returned home, you went upstream. It must have taken you at least four or fifty years to go back and forth?" Liu Yunfan asked again.

"Almost, but it's common for those who punter like us to not go home for decades. It's just you, Mr. Zhou, alas! I really feel sorry for you!"

The big brother of this ship is also true. You often don’t go home for decades, don’t sigh for yourself, and feel sorry for me.

"Brother Li, I feel fine, why do you feel sorry for me?"

"Young Master Zhou, I feel sorry for you, why do you want to run around while leaving such a good wife as the owner of the Niu Village,..."

I didn't expect this Li Yu to be quite gossip. He was so clear when he talked about other people's affairs. Liu Yunfan didn't know where to start if he wanted to refute. Anyway, he was idle and bored, so just listen to him. .

After being gossiped by Li Yu for a long time, Liu Yunfan finally launched a general attack.

"Brother Li, you have been here for decades, what about the wife and children at home, it must be difficult to live at home."

"Haha, Brother Zhou, I never need to worry about this. Old Wang next door to my house is a very nice person. Every time I go out, he helps me take care of my wife and children." Li Yu, the boat brother, replied with a smile.

Wo rub?

This big brother Li really has a big heart, and he actually handed over his wife and children to the old Wang next door!

"Brother Li, it seems that the old Wang next door will take care of your wife and children. You are very relieved."

Brother Chuan showed a complacent expression, and replied:

"That's right, Lao Wang is my brother-in-law. He treats my wife more like a sister-in-law. His family's main livelihood is farming. He has hundreds of acres of land, as well as my family's few acres of land. It was also planted by him, so I feel relieved to have him around."

It seems that this big brother Li really has a big heart, and he is not usually at ease with the old Wang next door.
