Chapter 23: Ferry, Ferry

Liu Yeshao feels that this young man named Lin Riverside has a lot of personality, although he is still a young man in terms of age, but what makes a person's age is not how long he lives, but how he lives, and people's experience is the real age, although some people have lived to be eighty years old, but they have never really stepped out of the house, and some people are twenty-five years old but have tasted the vicissitudes of the world......

The nineteen-year-old by the forest river is certainly not a simple nineteen-year-old, Liu Yeshao feels sad when he looks at him, but he can't do anything, he doesn't know what to do, to exhort and educate? What qualifications does he have to guide other people's lives? To guide the maze? Too self-righteous.

Liu Yeshao has always placed his position correctly, others are wrong, he doesn't say, he doesn't admonish, tell a person that he is wrong, you may be right, but in fact you are wrong, if this person is worthy, you have naturally done a good deed, but if it is not worthy, you are wrong, you think you are helping others, and if you say bad, you are destroying others.

He didn't want to explore too many profound things, he felt boring and boring, life was so colorful, the world was so interesting, everything was new, why should he do that thing to admonish others.

So he spoke: "Lin Riverside, are you willing to be bullied like this?"

......

The three of them stood on the boat, the vastness of the Cangjiang River here is much more exaggerated than the Yangtze River of the earth, the waves are turbulent, the danger is everywhere, the sky becomes gloomy after getting on the boat, it seems that the shore and the river are two timelines, they are different suns, just now there are no clouds, the sky is incomparably clear, and it becomes gloomy and depressing not long after walking the river.

"This river is artificially diverted, which is contrary to the principles of heaven, so when you are in the river, the sky is always gloomy, and before long, the sky of the river will be pitch black. I'm not lying to you, it's getting dark here. Lin Hebian replied to the question, and seemed to say to himself.

Seeing this, Liu Yeshao didn't say anything, he always couldn't hold back the mood of helping the weak, mourning his misfortune, angry with him, but not just saying it, but wanting to change that misfortune and that kind of indisputable, unfortunate people have their indisputable, but Liu Yeshao is not thinking about this person himself, but to help people regain the confidence to dare to "fight". It's useless to be angry and indisputable, and those who don't fight can't realize it.

"My father died at the hands of Westerners, beaten to death, and my uncle died at the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, and I don't even know which Chamber of Commerce is. You say, what am I going to do against them?" Lin River's paddling arm suddenly strained, as if he wanted to row this boat faster, the water on the river was so turbulent, all he could do was let this boat slowly move forward, towards the opposite bank. "Since I was a child, my father taught me that when I meet those people in the city, just keep my voice down, people like us live, that's it, life, is the biggest opposite. ”

The ferry wharf was a very large settlement a long time ago, the people living there were rushing around, struggling for a better life, and then the chamber of commerce in the river bay city developed more rapidly than one another, the people in the chamber of commerce had money, in order to better navigation, a larger wharf was built, the ferry wharf was only enough to ferry people, and then gradually, no one needed to use these ferries to go to the other side of the river, most of the people who went to the wharf were just for the interests of the chamber of commerce, in order to do business, and nearly a thousand people living in the wharf gradually disappeared.

"How many people are still in the ferry terminal?" Liu Yeshao asked curiously, Gan Xuanning didn't seem to be surprised by all this, in his heart, these people were just the remaining ugly stones after the great waves of the times, the existence of these people's lives had no meaning at all, he was born in Ganfu, he had extremely noble pursuits, and those existences that he spurned became the needs of others to survive, he didn't care.

This is how the gap in the world is created, some people are born with everything, full of factory, and some people are born with nothing, despite the infinite effort, maybe they can only get the soles of others.

Liu Yeshao never regarded himself as a savior, but he had a heart to help others, to save, to help others of the good wishes, whether it was in the cargo ship dock or the ferry dock on the side, what he saw was really uncomfortable, the bottom people of the Great Xia Empire had nothing to do with him, and the humiliated Lin River was just one of the thousands of ants.

But he just can't hold back the heart that wants to shoot when he sees injustice, this is his chivalrous heart and his dream.

"The arrival of the Chamber of Commerce, at first they were very friendly to us, arranged work for us, and we worked very hard to do it, they promised us a good life, promised us the qualifications to enter the city, Hewan City said that everyone can enter, but what is the point of people like us entering? The voice sounded a little low, bowing to life, but I was unwilling, even if I was unwilling, I couldn't change my life, I could only live like this.

At first, they even decided to go to the other side of the river to build another city, but the environment on the other side of the river is not suitable for building a city, and the storage costs of Hewan City are rising, so that those chambers of commerce spit out more benefits, so those chambers of commerce began to exploit us, and the life of our dock people became more and more difficult. As soon as he spoke of the Chamber of Commerce, his tone became gritted teeth.

"Gradually, the appetite of those chambers of commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and the promised good life has long become a myth in the mouths of the elders, and the elder generation has gradually left here to find a new life, my father has always said that our Lin family has been here for generations to protect, but what is guarded? I still don't know what the meaning of his protection is, if he can't even protect his own home, what else can he protect?" Speaking of his father, Lin Hebian's eyes exuded a little anger.

"Alas, you say it's ridiculous, we people look down on those homeless, the poor people who lost their homes in the early years because of wars or disasters, or just a little residual power under the struggle of powerful people, we live here and look down on them, but they endure hardships and stand hard work, and are willing to do anything, until they replace us with the opportunity to serve the Chamber of Commerce, and we have become real dock homeless, the lowest level of homeless people who work hard and complain, and are beaten and scolded......"

Lin was paddling by the river, muttering his own story to himself, some of Liu Yeshao's words touched him a lot, but the fact was that he couldn't make changes to his life, the other side of the river was almost there, and his story gradually stopped, his expression was a little sad, and he struggled a little, until the other bank, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "If the two sons are willing, I want to follow the two sons to the rivers and lakes." ”

It was as if to take that step and leave this place, where there was nothing left but boredom and boredom, and endless shame and painful memories.

"I crossed the river with two people, and I crossed the river with two people. After crossing this river, I don't want to look back. Lin Hebian's eyes flashed, looking at the willow leaf tops, and then at Gan Xuanning.

Liu Yeshao's original intention is to cross the river, give a large sum, a far more than ordinary people can have the source stone to this Lin Riverside, I wish him a hand, make yourself comfortable, hearing Lin Hebian's words, in fact, I want to refuse, but looking at the flashing light in my eyes, the light full of hope, Liu Yeshao really can't bear to wear him out.

"You may die tomorrow. Do you know?" There are still people from the snake gate staring at them in the dark, and the place they are going to is also urgent, difficult, and dangerous, how many mountains and rivers to cross, how many source beasts to kill, and how many people's hearts to face? He didn't say it was good, nor did he say it badly, but talked about what Lin Hebian might face in the future, death.

There are two ways to destroy a poor man, one is to make him accept the fate of poverty forever, and the other is to let him know the meaning of being rich, and then deprive him of everything, so that he can return to poverty, and he will live in the poverty that he has nourished.

"Stay here, I'm already dead in the river. Lin Hebian stared straight at Liu Yejiao and said.

Liu Yeshao waved away, signaling Lin Hebian to follow, and went west, and became three people. Gan Xuanning looked at Lin He, but did not speak, in his heart, the backbone of the heart is Liu Yeshao, as long as Liu Yeshao can take him to the Sword Gate, as for how to go and who to go with, he doesn't care.

Liu Yeshao looked back at the Cangjiang River, then looked at the Lin River, looked far to the west, and suddenly felt a little strange, as if, the sand monk was recovered by Tang Sanzang by the river?

Shaking their heads, they left the dock on the other side of the river and walked forward.

......

The wharf on the other side of the river looks much rougher, the wharf here is indeed a very old wharf, but there are fewer and fewer people coming here from Hewan City, because this side of the river is silt, and when the summer flood peak comes, the silt land on this side will be completely buried under the water and become a part of the river, and after the silt land is a small piece of woodland and grassland, and then it will arrive at Jiaohu, Jiaohu Lake under the barren rocky mountain range, where it is said that the last remaining ninth-order source beast of the Great Xia Empire lives there.

There is a simple pontoon bridge made of long wooden planks on the silt ground, the silt here is very strange, the color of the silt is strangely uniform, and even a very high source energy can be felt, but there are no creatures or source beasts living in it, and there are no strange things happening here, there are no strange rumors of silt eating people, just quietly making a silt ground.

"You just said that your father is reluctant to leave here because the Lin family has been guarding here for generations?" Liu Yeshao always felt that this muddy land was not simple, and faintly felt that there was some secret here, and the only thing that could attract attention was those stories by the Lin River. Liu Yeshao didn't doubt what Lin Hebian said, judging from the truth and no motive to lie, the story should be true, even if there is something not told, he believes that Lin Hebian himself doesn't understand.

It's in vain to ask, the life by the Lin River is simple and surprising, and more ancient Lin family secrets have long been lost, even if there is anything guarded by the Lin family, it will sink into the river with history.

As Liu Yeshao thought in his heart, Lin Hebian replied that he didn't know what the so-called mission was, but when he answered positively, his eyes were a little evasive, and Liu Yeshao felt that Lin Hebian should know and understand something, but he didn't want to say it.

Looking at this calm muddy ground, Liu Yejiao already sensed the extraordinary, but for now, he didn't have the ability and opportunity to explore the secrets.
