Yangzhou Wharf has always been one of the busiest wharves of the Longxi Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Traders from the south to the north escorted shiploads of goods, including rice, silk, and fruits from the south to the north, salt and seafood from the east to the west, and mountain goods and iron ......tools from the north to the south. Of course, there are also some princes, nobles, and children of rich families who come to the south of the Yangtze River along the canal to watch and play, highlighting the peaceful and prosperous scene of the Longxi Dynasty.

Recently, however, I have suddenly become nervous. On the one hand, the Longxi Emperor made great efforts to reduce the feudal domains, mobilized troops, and prepared to cut the feudal domains in one fell swoop; on the other hand, some feudal kings in the south, headed by Wu Sanmu, the king of Dingxi, stepped up their alliances and wanted to fight with the Longxi Dynasty; these news came from the people's channels, and some people added oil and vinegar and painted more pictures, which made people feel as if they were on the scene, believing that war was really coming.

Recently, there is another piece of news that the 800-mile Dongting Lake has suddenly fallen, and during the rainy season in the south, the water level has dropped sharply, and the news of how many small islands, how many lakeside houses have fallen, and how many people are missing has suddenly spread all over the north and south of the river. Some Taoist priests and fortune tellers assert that this subsidence is clearly an omen from heaven to the world, either famine or military disaster, and the famine theory seems to be untenable, after all, the wind and rain are smooth, so I believe that the future of war and the approaching war have become a bright spot for everyone to spread and demonstrate.

A military disaster is also a man-made disaster, and it is ordinary people who suffer. According to some divine arithmetic, before the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the whole country had a population of 20 million, but ten years later, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the population of the whole country was only 6 million, and 14 million people were wiped out; in the late Western Han Dynasty, the population of the whole country was 60 million, and after the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, by the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of the whole country was 20 million, and two-thirds of them were eliminated.

The most cruel is the Three Kingdoms War at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of 50.07 million before the war, and statistics shortly after the Chibi War, the total population of the Three Kingdoms was 900,000, and 99% of them were wiped out. The poet described it as "hanging people's heads in front of the horse, carrying women in the back of the car, white bones exposed in the wilderness, and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." There are more than 100 people, and those who read it break their intestines".

……。

Rumors of war and death were endless, and the storage of food and shelter from war became important topics of discussion among the common people. However, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, the busy docks, the flow of people, is still bustling, most of the people in their hearts, think that even if the war really comes, even if 90% of the population really wants to die, they must be the people in the 10%, so everyone has such a fortunate mentality, so the rumors of this war, in addition to becoming people's after-dinner conversation, will not set off a big wave, life is still business as usual.

Yangzhou wharf, at this time came two graceful white-clothed girls, they were fluttering, walking like the wind, in the bustling flow of people, especially eye-catching, attracting many eyes, it is to go to Ningdu Yulin, Yufeng.

"Boat family, go to Ningdu?", Yulin asked. "Ningdu, it's a long way to go, now it's time to anchor, and you'll have to pay for it until tomorrow morning," replied an uncle in his 40s.

"Originally, it was only 10 taels of silver, but now you need to add 5 taels," the old man replied with blazing eyes. "Add money, add money", Yu Lin habitually touched the little burden on his shoulder, and replied cheerfully.

Two people got on the boat, and out of the canopy came out of a man in his 30s, this person was five short figures, seemed to be shrewd and capable, Yulin glanced at it, and a cunning and obscene gaze appeared in his eyes, and the bad feeling suddenly stirred his mind, Yulin hesitated slightly, anyway, it was less than a day, and he just paid attention, so he still walked into the cabin.

"This is my younger brother Liu Si, my name is Liu San, and the two of me are responsible for sending your sisters to Ningdu", the uncle pointed to the middle-aged man and explained.

The ship was a medium-sized canopy with only one cabin, which was not very high, in which one could barely stand upright, with two bare masts at the front of the hull.

As soon as Yulin and Yufeng sat down, the boat moved, Liu San was in front, Liu Si was behind, and the long pulp was propped up, and the boat slowly went off the shore, avoiding several big ships from north to south, and the boat officially sailed into the river.

Liu San held up the sails high, and a gust of southeast wind blew, and the ship suddenly moved forward quickly. "At this speed, you can reach Ningdu when it gets dark," Liu San tightened the sails and said with great interest.

Yufeng listened to Liu San's words, and suddenly became excited, "We will arrive in Ningdu in the evening, we will live in the benefactor's house, and have a real night in the cave with the benefactor", Yufeng said, with a happy smile on her face.

"Xiao Nizi, I see that you are in a hurry, so I miss my son", Yulin sneered.

"Doesn't my sister want to be a son, then you can live elsewhere", Yufeng's excitement was overflowing.

These words happened to fall into the ears of Liu Si, who walked to the front of the boat, and Liu Si hinted at Liu San with his eyes and smiled slyly.

The boat went out of the canal and sailed into the Yangtze River, and Liu San adjusted the sails again, and the boat rushed west along the Yangtze River. At this time, Liu San and Liu Si, who had nothing to do, stood at the hatch of the ship, talking to Yulin and Yufeng without a ride.

"My sister is going back to Ningdu's in-laws," Liu San asked.

"It's also ..... it's not," Yulin replied with a blushing face and plausible expression.

By noon, we were already halfway through the trip. Liu San and Liu Si brought a steaming meal from a small kitchen at the back of the boat.

"We're not hungry, you guys can eat", Yulin glanced at Liu San and Liu Si vigilantly, and said.

"Let's eat a little bit of the two girls, this big day", Liu San persuaded.

Yulin took out two packets of mille-feuille from her baggage, which was the dry food that Han Qiulin made for the two sisters, she handed Yufeng a packet, and said to the two boatmen: "Let's eat this."

Liu Si ate half of the meal, flatteringly brought four empty cups, poured boiling water, and handed them to Yulin and Yufeng. Na Yulin didn't drink at first, but when he saw Liu San and Liu Si drinking water, plus the hot weather, his mouth was dry. So he slowly lifted his guard and picked up the cup with Yufeng.

A glass of water belly, this Yulin and Yufeng suddenly had a dizzy head, raised their eyes to look at Liu San and Liu Si, and the shadows were sufficient, "You, you cheat", Yulin held his spirits and said angrily.

"Hahaha..... it's too late to understand, you two can't escape from the palm of your Liu Siye after all, the amount of sweat medicine is enough to make the two of you sleep for a few hours, enough for our brothers to be happy", Liu Si said, revealing an obscene gaze, threw off his clothes, and threw himself towards Na Yulin.

The frightened Yulin and Yufeng wanted to support Liu Si who was rushing forward, but where was the strength, the power of the sweat medicine came up, and the Yulin and Yufeng suddenly shrunk their bodies, and the Yulin that Liu Si was holding instantly turned into a little rabbit with red eyes.

"Brother, it turned out to be two fairy rabbits, what should I do", Liu Sisi said in shock.

"No wonder these two little girls are so beautiful, they turned out to be immortal bodies", Liu San said with a sudden realization.

"Then let's release the two of them", Liu San glanced at Liu Si with an inquiring gaze and said.

"Then what's the matter, if they wake up, they won't kill us", Liu Si said viciously.

"Just don't do it, don't stop it", after Liu Si finished speaking, he picked up the white rabbit Yulin and rushed out of the cabin, "Brother, slow", Liu San stopped, but it was too late, Liu Si threw the white rabbit Yulin into the choppy river.
