Luci, the slave of the patriarch's family, and two pretending shepherds, their three horses galloped on the road to Sparta, and the dust was raised like a dragon in the clouds.

"Luci, Lucie......" Theseus shouted.

"Yahee......" Lucy pulled the reins, the horse suddenly came with a front hoof to grab the sky, the hind foot was still walking forward, Lucy suddenly hugged the horse's neck, and was almost lifted under the horse.

"What's the matter with the guests?" Luci stopped and asked.

"Yay-hee!"

"Yay!"

Theseus reined in his horse and made a half-circle in front of Luci: "How long do we have to walk now to reach Sparta?" Are you familiar with the routes? ”

"I haven't been to Sparta, but I'm sure there's nothing wrong with taking this path, guest." Lucy said.

"Let's see if we can see any villagers along the way, and if we see it, we should get off the horse and ask, at least we must have a clear direction." This is said by Peritous.

Less than half an hour after walking, an old man who had gone into the mountain to chop wood came to him, and Theseus had already dismounted himself, afraid that the old man would be frightened, so he first walked slowly towards the old man with his hands in his fists, which would make people daunted.

Theseus came to the old man and knelt down on his feet and said to him, "Honorable old man, is this road leading to Sparta?" ”

Seeing this, the old man was frightened by the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, but he felt that although this man looked like a big man, he had already knelt down, and to be honest, it was the last word. If you are so frightened that you don't say anything and run away, you will not anger this strange passer-by who is as strong as a lion and tiger......

"Strong man, please, this is the route to Sparta, but it is still far away, and there are still seven rivers to cross. Ask as you go, I wish you a smooth journey...... "The old man has peed his pants, this is the lion and the sheep kneeling, and there must be a lot of stakes."

People have similar thoughts, and he asks you to treat yourself as a grandson first. Otherwise, I will eat you, and you still think that it is comfortable to be a master, and you want to be beautiful.

The three men continued to whip their horses forward......

They came to the last river, which was already showing the beginning of a more prosperous place. There were a few passers-by waiting for the boat at the ferry port. The locals all lowered their heads after just one look, like chickens beaten by the gods, and shrunk their heads and only looked at their feet, for fear of losing their feet and walking back to their homes.

In addition to Lucy being a local, these three people are also relatively smaller. The two false shepherds were particularly conspicuous, tall and large, with brown-red hair, blue eyes, and a high, pointed, and slightly curved nose, like the hook beak of an eagle. The bosom is open, and the well-developed thoracic tendons, like two to buckle the bronze cast basin on top. There is an intimidating feeling at a glance.

Theseus and Peritous and Luci were too embarrassed to ask. Because those people are exaggerating themselves, they are almost not afraid to get real pee and wet their pants.

It was a long time before the boatman on the other side of the river brought the boat to come, first getting off and then getting on, which is the customary rule from ancient times to the present. When the boatman saw that there were many people on the shore, he began to shout, "Go down and then go up, and ask those standing on the pier to get out of the way for those who disembark to pass." Don't rush on, this boat is guaranteed to be fully loaded......"

As soon as the boatman finished speaking, the boat docked, and when he looked up, he saw two people of different races, with strange complexions. And he looks like a very big man, and through the surface, people can see an eerie fierce aura. This made the boatman take a breath of cold air, and thought to himself which family would suffer tonight, either wealth or sex.

All the boatmen who have been ferrying at the ferry port for many years have a good pair of eyes. This is after a long and countless times of training, and again, you are a ferryman, living in the riverside port all the year round, you must also have a pair of eyes that can see through people, as the so-called rivers and lakes are sinister.

Before the stranger got on board. The boatman looked at him, and understood that this person had something to ask himself, and he had to say honestly, don't mess with this god grandfather, just this bowl of thick elbows, and his own catties are not waiting to mention a chicken in the hands of others, and it is not good to let people throw their hands into the sky and become a fairy.

"Where is this strong man going?" The boatman let people talk without asking.

"O boatman who is respected by the people, we are strangers from far away, and we have asked all the way here from the beginning. We're going to Sparta, and we don't know how far away. ......" Theseus said politely.

The boatman swayed the boat slowly with his oar, so that it could move slowly and steadily. Yes, the boatmen have a good temperament, because there are often people waiting for the boat on both sides of the strait, and if you really think about the people who pass the boat, it is one word: slow. If you're almost tired of the boatman's ghost to ferry? And then it's easy to make mistakes in the middle of the fast, and the boat overturned and asked the ghost?

Have you ever seen a doctor who is as anxious as a family member? Definitely. If you listen to the words of the family: hurry up like this, hurry up like that, don't you become a mad dog and run all day long? There are also people who cry when they die like family members, and the doctor's time is only enough to drink water a day, otherwise where do these tears come from? Do you want people to cry?

"It's not far, it's still hundreds of miles away...... It would be nice to be able to get to the gates of the city, and you can't enter the city until the morning. The boatman said.

"We don't need to go into the city, we're looking for a new army......" Theseus explained halfway secretly, without saying the ultimate goal, which of course is the bottom line on the way, and you explain that you don't scare the boatmen to death: go and rob people.

"Don't go into the city, just to see if there's a new army there? This is a thing of the past, right, and now it seems that the troops have been withdrawn? "The boatman can only tell the truth, and he has the obligation to speak more clearly, if you dare to hang the child, when people turn around, they think that it is you, the boatman, who did not speak clearly, you pounds of people carry you to the river to drink water with their feet.

"Can you tell us where this new army is withdrawing?" Peritous said.

Hearing that the new army had withdrawn, Lucy was frightened, and his eyes were a little afraid to look at these two strangers, afraid that he had led the wrong way and was not in Sparta?

"I have already retreated eight hundred miles, and in the gorge of the Olympia Strait, it is said that the younger brother of King Hippokion, it is said that he will make a comeback." The boatman told the stranger as he rocked the oar.

"Shall we cross the river then?" Theseus asked the boatman.

"If you want to join the army, then you don't have to cross the river, just go east. There are a lot of roads! Shall we turn around then? The boatman said with embarrassment that he blamed himself for not asking the stranger as soon as he got on board.

"Okay, then turn the bow of the boat, it's good that the ship hasn't reached the center of the river yet." Theseus said.

"I felt that there was a problem, so I pulled over and walked out into the water. Because you are strangers, although I am afraid of getting the wrong place, I am too embarrassed to ask too much, and I am really sorry for delaying the time of passers-by. The boatman first admitted that it was his fault.

When the boat came to shore, Theseus gave the boatman a small gold brick and said, "Please take this little tip......"

"No, I didn't ask the guest officer where he was going in advance, and I delayed the guest officer's time, so please hurry up." The boatman really doesn't want money, and he can see that these two are not good people, but they are not ordinary gangsters, although they are ordinary goods from the point of view of clothing, but this piece of natural head, and the flesh that is not often exposed to the sun, this is contrary to common sense, so you can only reason from a high place: a noble person or an official eunuch.

Boatman, who is it? You have to meet all kinds of people who pass by every day, don't you have this most basic insight?

The three of them again whipped their horses and ran away in the direction of the boatman's command. The people on the boat were almost relieved, because it was rare to see a male god with an elbow the size of a bowl, and he had a gloomy face, although he was friendly in language and behavior, but ordinary people have a natural fear of people who are much higher than themselves, this is the law of nature.

(I have a chapter in my New Concept Novel (now "Love Highway") called "Dogs and Tigers at the Table," which is to say that some people like to say that I have eaten with such and such a high-ranking hooligan, or high-ranking rich and high-ranking officials, and this is a kind of show-off.)

In fact, it's the same table of dogs and tigers, and you are embarrassed to say it, but you are so afraid that you wet your shoes. Human beings themselves are animal attributes, but there is a difference between tigers and sheep, but who dares to say that the poor and the rich are not compared with dogs and tigers? You don't admit that I'm ashamed of you.

Billionaires are about to jump into the river when they go bankrupt, and tigers starve themselves to death if they can't eat meat. The poor are different from the dog, the attribute of the dog is that if there is meat to eat, they will eat meat, and if they don't have meat, they will eat, which is just in line with the life of the poor. Life is "the dog sees the dog, and the tiger sees the tiger." ”）

"Captain of the boat, I am so scared that you dare to talk to this man...... "Said a passer-by who had passed the boat.

"To be honest, I'm also afraid, just this head is enough for more than 200 catties, and his face is full of gloomy murderous aura, which is not an ordinary person. I came on a hard note, and I wanted to ask before they got on the boat, because I didn't dare to ask more. Sure enough, I went the wrong way......" said the boatman.

"This man was afraid of them even in the boat, and now this man has gone up and the boat has become lighter." Another passer-by said.

Of course, three horses and three people, half a ton also, does the ship dare to go fast? The boatman will not be stupid enough to eat, he has to walk lightly, and he will capsize the boat in one hurry, do you know the origin of these two strangers?

"Ship boss, can you tell what these two big strangers are doing?" As soon as the stranger got on the shore, the people on the boat came to God, just now they were all gods and chickens, and now they have become a living dragon.

"The one who led the way was a local, and there was no doubt about it, judging by his appearance as a domestic servant, and he was also a family member of the head of the big clan. These two people are tall and big, and it can be ruled out that they are ordinary robbers, possibly military instructors and the like. If I guessed correctly, it was a warrior who wanted to join the new army to make a meritorious service, because I had heard that the new army was on the list, saying that those who had made the first contribution to the attack on Sparta could marry the beautiful Helen as a wife. As he spoke, the boatman suddenly saw a figure in the place where the stranger had come ashore, and his heart trembled. 3187 (To be continued.) )
