Volume 1 The Little Boy Who Seeks to Learn the Sword Chapter 26 Crossing the River
The boss of the ferry boat, a bald man of short stature but extremely sturdy, was explaining things to a few men on the shore.
Li Qingfeng stepped forward and saluted with his fists, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how it is in the near future?"
Qiao Lao Er wiped the sweat on his face, turned around and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Ouch, isn't this windy? They have grown so big? They look handsome, but they are much more handsome than your father." Are all the girls lining up to come into your house and be your daughter-in-law, hahaha. ”
Li Qingfeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Qiao, don't make fun of me." My father and sister and I and two friends are here to visit our relatives at Chonglingguan. I encountered some trouble on the way, and a friend was injured and wanted to ask Uncle Qiao if he could arrange to cross the river as soon as possible. ”
Qiao Lao Er put down the guy in his hand, took out the wine jug from his waist and poured a sip of wine, and then handed it to Li Qingfeng, who smiled and took a big sip.
The bald man wiped his mouth, "It's going to get dark soon, and it's really a trouble to spend the night here." It's just that there are two waves of guests in front, all of whom have spent a lot of money to pass as soon as possible, which is not very easy to do. ”
Li Qingfeng was a little disappointed when he heard this, thought for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Qiao, how long will it take to send these two groups of people over?"
Qiao Lao Er took the wine jug handed back by Li Qingfeng, poured another sip of wine, thought about it, and said: "Those two groups seem to be businessmen, each with big items, and they have to be sent in two batches. The brothers hurried to speed up their movements, and it would take more than an hour. ”
Li Qingfeng sighed, the day after more than an hour was basically dark. Waiting until then to cross the river is no different from looking for death, so let's go back and explain the situation to a few people first.
Li Qingfeng hugged his fists at the bald man, "Uncle Qiao, I'll go back and ask the others first, you are busy first." ”
Qiao Lao Er waved his hand and threw himself into the work again.
————————
Ye Fan took out a square scarf, put it in the river water to wet it, carefully wiped Li Mingyue's tear-stained face, and then walked back to Wei Cheng with the girl.
The little girl suddenly took a deep breath, took the square scarf from Ye Fan's hand, and didn't say a word.
The young man noticed the abnormality, was a little uneasy, and asked, "Xiao Mingyue, what's wrong?"
The girl wiped her nose, hesitated, and said slowly: "Big brother, I... I want you to teach me, learn from books. ”
Ye Fan was stunned and said: "But what I studied is all Mongolian studies, and there are no great university questions." Besides, the eldest brother is only eighteen years old this year, and he doesn't have enough experience and knowledge, so how can he teach people indiscriminately?"
Wei Cheng muttered: "The stinky boy can have a fart knowledge, and his ability to harm people is not small." ”
The little girl turned her head suddenly, clenched her small fist and smashed it on Wei Cheng's head as if she was 'hard'.
The man didn't actually feel much pain, but he still shouted loudly: "I can't live this day! Your big brother is so expensive, you can't say a word?"
Ye Fan ignored him, just squatted down slowly, touched Li Mingyue's little head, and said softly and gently: "Big brother can't teach you, but others can teach you." You haven't forgotten the gentleman in Ruyi Lane, my hometown. He is a very knowledgeable gentleman, if Xiao Mingyue really wants to learn, he can let Mr. Wen teach you at that time. Maybe Xiao Mingyue has learned so much knowledge from Mr. Wen and done so much knowledge, and she can become the first female master in the world to enter the temple to teach. ”
Wei Chenggui screamed for a long time, and when he saw that no one cared about him, he didn't bother himself.
Then he asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Mingyue, why do you suddenly have to learn knowledge?"
The little girl spoke softly and said slowly: "Because I think that if I know a lot of correct truths, and then teach the truths to others, and others continue to teach the truths, then everyone will know the truth." In the future, a good person like Wei Cheng will not be bullied, and he will not be injured..."
The man was like falling into the clouds, his face full of shock.
Ye Fan thought silently and stood still.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. It is said that children's words are unscrupulous, and they cannot be true. But if the meaning is right, then everyone has a point.
Wei Cheng came back to his senses, sighed, and said with emotion: "When I was young and frivolous in the past, I felt that when I practiced the knife every day and practiced seriously, I just wanted to be unreasonable with others. Later, I slowly learned something, and after getting to know Mr. Wen, I felt more and more that if the knife is reasonable, it will be like divine help, and it will be as fast as thunder. If the knife is unreasonable, it will be like a deep quagmire, and you can't move. ”
Ye Fan wrote down what Wei Cheng said and thought to himself.
The boy seems to remember that once when he was a child, his father went to the market to buy vegetables, and was beaten, and his face was full of bruises. The strong man who was called Ye Dali by the neighbors just squatted sullenly on the side of the door frame, listening to his mother crying and comforting him. Ye Fan felt sorry for his father, so he secretly gave the meat bun that his mother left for him to the man. The man smiled and said, "It's my Ye Qi's cub, I know that I feel sorry for Lao Tzu." ”
Later, the mother found out that those people had killed them, and the man's ribs were broken twice.
At that moment, Ye Fan was in a trance, the mother in his memory has always been gentle and gentle, and he never seems to be angry when he suffers.
But that night, when my mother went out, she walked vigorously and resolutely, and her momentum was amazing, like an official who came down from the county to inspect.
At that time, Ye Fan didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't rest assured when he saw his mother going out in the middle of the night, so he walked behind and followed silently.
What happened in the middle, Ye Fan didn't see it. It's just that within two days, several men who were beating people in the vegetable market at that time all came to Ye Fan's house to apologize, their posture was lower than the other, and their words were more pleasing than the other.
The young man seemed to understand Wei Cheng's words a little.
At this time, Li Qingfeng walked back from the ferry and explained the situation to several people.
Wei Cheng's face was full of indifference, "What's so difficult about this, if you give more money, everything will be solved." ”
Ye Fan asked, "You give?"
"No money. ”
The young man looked at the hard-faced man, and looked up to his cheeky skills.
Li Jin said: "It's better for me to go and say hello to Qiao Er, it would be best if I could do something." ”
Wei Chengmu sent Li Jin away, lowered his voice and asked Ye Fan, "Where is the place across the river?"
Ye Fan replied: "Judging from the map, it should be Broken Water Mountain. ”
The man seemed to be smiling, and the young man asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, something?"
Wei Cheng shook his head, still in the same tone: "It's okay, just ask." ”
Ye Fan looked around, but didn't see the figure of the little snake, so he asked Li Qingfeng, "Brother Qingfeng, why didn't you see the little snake?"
Li Qingfeng said: "I was just about to tell you that it seemed to have encountered something suddenly, and when it was still a mile away from the ferry, it was particularly anxious to swim into the river, and I don't know why." ”
The young man was a little regretful, "There should be something urgent, but it's a pity that I couldn't say goodbye to it." ”
At this time, a group of expensively dressed pedestrians walked from upstream, and there were people pushing seven or eight black iron boxes behind them, which should be businessmen who were about to cross the river.
Li Qingfeng was a little worried: "I don't know if my father can discuss it." ”
Ye Fan patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak.
The man's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Ye Fan, help me bring my knife." ”
When placing Wei Cheng before, he untied the iron knife on his waist and put it aside. Hearing this, Ye Fan walked over, picked up the scarred unsheathed iron knife, and handed it to Wei Cheng.
"This knife, isn't it very precious. ”
Wei Cheng nodded and shook his head, "It's not a high-level immortal weapon, it's just that I've been with me for so long, and I'm reluctant." ”
The young man put the iron knife in the man's arms and said softly: "Find a powerful blacksmith in the future, and you should be able to repair it." ”
Wei Cheng didn't answer, this knife was the only gift given to him by someone who was very important to him, but now the person was long gone, and the knife was no different from a scrap.
Wei Cheng didn't have much sadness.
It's not a good thing to reminisce too much about the past, but it can also be a wake-up call to know the preciousness of the days in front of you.
Wei Cheng felt that he was living a good life now, and it would be even better if he could drink a few more sips of immortal wine.
He is a man who is not easy to satisfy, but also quite easy to satisfy.
