In the early summer night, it is darker than later, and the sunset on the side of the mountain slowly fades at three o'clock, and the sky will not be dark, but a crescent moon secretly goes up to the middle sky, hangs in the starry sky, and sprinkles a ground of silver frost.

Brother Jin came and went like the wind, and soon ran back and forth, and he picked a single boat family by the river, which took the boat as their home, but did not dock at the dock with many ships, but leaned alone on the side of a gentle slope far away, which was a good object to start.

The eldest grandson Hao also thought it was appropriate, so he discussed the place where he would meet, went into the brother to pick up a load of food, and went to act. And the rest of the people, under the leadership of Changsun Hao, went straight to a reedy deep by the river.

This reed, stretching for miles, is higher than a human head, and there is no problem hiding thousands of people, and more than a dozen men from Lijia Village are hidden in it, and they are not visible at all.

Changsun Hong was also carried over, resting on a dry ground in the reeds, the reeds dancing in the wind swayed on the top of his head, caressing his face, itching and interesting, this was an experience that had never been experienced in the reinforced concrete city in the previous life, he couldn't help but reach out, picked a reed, shook it in his hand, and put it in his mouth to chew and play.

The starry sky, the moonlit night breeze, and the sound of the dense reeds swinging are mixed in nature, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, and the heaven and earth seem to be alone, lying on the ground, as if lying in the arms of a mother, warm and comfortable.

It seems that the life of the ancients was not bad. Changsun Hong thought that he almost liked this natural life, took a deep breath, and the negative oxygen ions that entered his lungs made every organ and every cell cry out of happiness.

Although the Mai on the body is a little sluggish, but it is also passable, this trip to sell smuggled salt back, make a fortune, and then you can live a good life, Dad is Baozheng, that is, the village head, the landlord in the village is also his own people, the future life must not be too bitter, although this era is somewhat different from the imagination, but with their own ability, make some money to be a rich man, it is not a difficult thing.

The eldest grandson Hong opened his eyes to the sky, winked at the stars, and thought about how to live in this life to be rich and peaceful, he didn't want to be a big official, the responsibility was too heavy, and the higher he climbed, the worse he fell, the Mongols would not be long after, and it would be a dead end to be a big official in the Song Dynasty, it was better to be a peaceful squire, and then marry a daughter-in-law with ten rooms and eight rooms, and live the addiction of three wives and four concubines, give birth to a bunch of children, build a big house, how good.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Changsun Hong pondered, where should he go to implement this plan? The south side is not good, the Mongols have no humanity, slaughter the city and slaughter the butcher of art, kill one place and another. Dali is not good, the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty and attacked Dali first.

Where to go? Further west? That's India, or to the east, to Korea, to Japan, to strangle Oda Nobunaga's father in the cradle, to rob the island country, hehehe.

Changsun Hong smirked, making Li Meng and Li Dafu, who were guarding him, look at him vigorously, inexplicably strange.

The sound of water waves, the unique "brushing" sound of Artemisia supporting in the water is very clear in the night, and the eldest Sun Hao, who was squatting in front, made a gesture, and people stood up one by one, pinching the flat pole in their hands.

The ship is coming.

Brother Jin'er's voice also came, and he shouted on the bow of the boat: "It's here, it's here, our guys are hiding here." ”

The boatman leaned over the boat, still nagging: "The black light is blind, the world is not peaceful, your owner has got into the eyes of money, dare to take this path, the bandits love such a lord, who will be robbed if you are not robbed?" Alas. ”

In the dark, Changsun Hao jumped on the boat from the reeds with an arrow step, he was burly, and the boat suddenly sank left and right, which frightened the boatman, and there was an angry wind lamp hanging on the black canopy on the boat, and under the swaying lights, more than ten men jumped on one after another.

The boatman's face turned white with a "whoosh", the posture of this group of people, where is it like the appearance of an ordinary grain store guy, the boatman is an old boatman who is used to running in the water, and he knows at first sight that he is afraid that he will meet a strong man today.

So without waiting for Brother Jin to take the Pu knife from a person from Lijia Village and put it on his neck, he first knelt down on the deck with a "poof", trembling and panicked and shouted: "Heroes, the little old man has no money and nothing, and there are no good things at home, so he relies on this boat to support his family, please raise your noble hand, don't harm our lives!" The load of rice just now was left in the cabin, not moving, please take it back! ”

Changsun Hao strode over, twisted the boatman up like a chicken, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we won't rob money or hurt our lives, as long as you send us away, we will pay the boat money." ”

Where can the boatman dare to believe it, he begged for mercy vigorously, this person was short, and he was carried in his hands by the tall eldest grandson, and his feet could not stick to the ground, and he was very embarrassed.

The eldest grandson was about to say more, but he heard someone shouting: "Don't hurt my father's life, let him go!" A figure jumped from the stern of the boat, holding a long penny in his hand, and his pointed head was pointed at Changsun Hao.

Without waiting for the man to approach, the eldest grandson came first, and the Pu knife turned into a cold man, slashed in the oblique stab, and cut the penny into two sections, and the person holding the penny was caught off guard, couldn't stop his feet, and hit his head, and was easily tripped by the eldest grandson, and stepped on the deck.

The boatman suddenly became anxious, shouted vigorously, and kicked his legs straight: "Child, child, don't hurt my child, don't hurt my child!" ”

The boatman came up with brute force, but Changsun Hao couldn't control it with one hand, he simply pinched his hands, cut the boatman's hands back, pressed them to the ground, and roared: "What are you shouting?" Believe it or not, I'll kill you two with one stab? ”

The figure who was trampled on the ground by the eldest grandson also shouted: "Dad, I'm fine!" ”

The voice was immature, and it sounded like a child, which attracted Changsun Hong, who had just gotten on the boat behind, to stretch his neck to look, and found that the person who was trampled on the soles of his feet by Changsun Jin was actually a boy about the same size as himself.

Brother Jin also said strangely: "This kid is younger than Erlang, and he dares to commit murder with objects, but he has good courage." ”

The child couldn't move on the ground, still shouting, "Don't hurt my father, or I'll be done with you!" ”

The people around laughed "boom", and said: "This kid is not big, his tone is not small, you are like this, how can you be endless?" ”

The boatman's face turned white with fright, and he asked for mercy again and again, and Changsun Hao waited for him to stop struggling before he said: "I said it, as long as you obey me, not only will you not hurt your life, but you will still give the boat money, and you are still struggling for a ball?" Say, never from? ”

The boatman peeked at this group of people by the light, and did not seem to look like a ruthless horse thief, and his face was not very vicious, so he turned his heart sideways and said: "From, from, a good man, you can't break your word." ”

"If you are obedient, you will not break your word." Changsun Jin laughed and let go of his foot, and the kid jumped up and hugged the boatman who was restrained by Changsun Hao.

Changsun Hao let go of his hand, let go of the boatman, and said, "We are going to the north side of the well, where is the right place to cross the river and go ashore?" You're a boat owner here, and you're familiar with the geography, can you lead the way? ”

The father and son of the boatman shrunk together, the child was thin and small, and he also looked like a big-headed child who lacked nutrition, but he had a big face, slender hands and feet, thick eyebrows and a thick nose, a wide forehead, and angry eyes, showing an extremely stubborn character.

Changsun Hong looked at the child, some interest, felt that this person was very bold, ordinary children would be so afraid that they didn't even dare to say anything when they saw the scene of the knife, but he dared to protect his father, are the children of this era so ruthless?

The boatman hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, I know where to go, I can avoid the inspection, and the people of the Kurashi Salt Administration can also avoid it, and the heroes can transport salt safely and securely." ”

The boatman's eyes were also poisonous, and he saw that this group of people was a smuggler of salt, or a very poor kind of lowliest, and simply pointed out that everyone was a good person.

Said that it would be easy to do, Changsun Hao left the boatman's child in the cabin as a hostage, the boatman drove the boat, divided the hands to fight, the canopy boat quietly left the reeds, and slowly rowed towards the center of the river.

The eldest grandson Hong was also sent into the cabin and stayed with the child, the dog was responsible for protection, and the child was tied hand and foot, but it was fine.

The wind lantern was moved in, illuminating the small cabin, the dog dozed off boredly, and the eldest grandson Hong looked at the puffing boatman child with interest.
