The child stared at a pair of bull's eyes and gritted his teeth unconvinced, and when he saw the eldest grandson looking at him, he said viciously: "What do you see?" Wicked, watch me beat you again! ”

The dog was dozing off and didn't hear it, but Changsun Hong smiled and pouted, "You kid, why are you so tough?" My father said, let you row the boat to lead the way, and it will not harm you, and the boat will not lose any of your money, what do you say you are doing? ”

"What can you believe when a strong man speaks?" The kid snorted.

Changsun Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a bad guy come out with a child as big as me to do evil?" Tell you, we are all good people, we were forced to have no way out, so we came out to take risks, and we will naturally go back when the matter is done, and then we will let you go. ”

The child looked at Changsun Hong suspiciously, seeing that he looked like a sick man, and he was a child of the same size as himself, he couldn't help but believe a little, opened his mouth, and wanted to refute a few words but didn't know what to say.

"Besides, if we are really wicked, we will directly cut your father and wife with a knife, throw them into the river and destroy the corpses, isn't it a hundred?" Eldest Sun Hong smiled freely, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Isn't that right, you should have also heard about the evil of the ringing horse, isn't that the case?" ”

The eldest grandson Hong smiled cutely, with red lips and white teeth, but with this remark in the eyes of the child, it was a little terrifying, thinking of the story of bandit murder passed on by the boatmen who ran the boat on weekdays, which made him shudder coldly.

After all, he is a child, no matter how bold he is, there is a limit, and when he meets Changsun Hong, a character with outstanding eloquence in his previous life, he is simply dealt with in minutes, and he is so coaxed and frightened, and he immediately falls into the trap.

"This ....." The child gave in and looked at Changsun Hong with flickering eyes: "...... you really won't harm us?" ”

"Of course."

"Won't rob our ship either?"

"What are the ships for? I can't eat or wear it. ”

"Really?"

"Really." Eldest Sun Hong nodded firmly, revealing a trustworthy smile: "We are all poor people, and we will not harm others." ”

When the child heard this, he thought about it, then he relaxed significantly, tilted his head and thought about it again, and asked, "Then why are you tying me up?" ”

Eldest Sun Hong said: "Isn't this afraid that you won't trust us? When we cross the river, you will come with us, and we will loosen the bonds for you. ”

The child suddenly became nervous again and cried out, "Why do I want to go with you?" I'm not going! ”

Eldest Sun Hong pouted him: "I said just now that you are bold, why are you timid now?" ”

Propping himself up, leaning his back against the cabin of the cabin, making himself more comfortable, Changsun Hong looked at the child with a frightened face on his face, and said slowly: "With you, I am afraid that your father will ignore us, and when we go ashore, we will leave by ourselves, where will we go back to find the boat when the time comes?" And we can also find you a fortune with us, so that your family can eat three meals a day for half a year. ”

His tone was tempting, he lowered his voice and deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech, dragging the word rich and noble for a long time.

"Rich? What rich? "The child is not unexpectedly fooled, these years, for people at the bottom of the society, it is not easy to eat enough, you can eat three meals a day, enough temptation, not to mention a teenager, even an adult, will immediately take the bait.

Facing the child's curious gaze, Changsun Hong leaned over, pretending to be mysterious, lowered his voice again, and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "Let's tell you the truth, your father guessed correctly just now, we are selling smuggled salt, you go with us, change the salt, and share a little bit with you, doesn't your family have salt to eat all year round?" If you exchange it for rice, it's enough for half a year, isn't it rich? ”

"Salt, ......" the child's mouth opened wide, and heaven and man were at war.

Selling smuggled salt is a big crime, children know it, but salt is very expensive, although the family is in Fushun Prison, but it is still a big expense to eat salt, the price of salt under the government's monopoly is as high as hundreds of Wen a catty, where can the poor afford to eat, buy a little home and put one or two in a meal It is good, Changsun Hong's conditions are very attractive.

"Don't be afraid, we will bear the responsibility of the accident, and it has nothing to do with your family, not to mention that after we leave, we will break up in two, and no one owes anyone, and if the incident happens, the government will not be able to find out about your family." The eldest grandson Hong is seductive, foaming at the mouth, this scene is very peculiar, two twelve or thirteen-year-old children get together, one is old and seduced, and the other naively does bad things with him, which is very incongruous.

"Really won't betray us?" The child's eyes widened and he asked.

"Never!" The eldest grandson patted his chest, but it caused a cough: "Ahem, cough, well, husband...... Ahem, ahem, a word is out, and there is no remorse! ”

The child finally believed it completely, he let go of all his guards, and became excited, the oath of the eldest grandson Hong aroused the stubbornness in his nature, so he also wanted to pat his chest, but his hands and feet were tied, so he had to try his best to hold up his chest, and said proudly: "Okay! I'll go with you, I'll tell my father, reassure him, wait by the river, and wait for us to come back." ”

Changsun Hong's goal was finally achieved, and it was a great blessing for this group of smugglers to let the child follow him voluntarily peacefully, saving many variables on the way. So he let out a long breath, and said these words with a great deal of his energy, and his strength was gone.

He lazily leaned against the bulkhead and said weakly to the child, "What's your name?" ”

The child was still immersed in a huge yearning for salt, his father was an honest and dutiful boat owner, and never dared to do anything illegal, so the sudden arrival of this gang of rags and shoes of the smuggler gave him a great shock, and his heart was both nervous and excited, and he replied casually: "My name is Wang Jian." ”

"Oh, Wang Jian." The eldest grandson Hong read it again, vaguely felt that the name seemed to be somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, and after thinking for a while, he simply ignored him, leaned against the bulkhead, closed his eyes and began to nap.

The dog in his ears has already purred all over the world.

Wang Jian twisted his body and looked up at the deck above his head, his face was excited, and he couldn't stop blinking his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside the cabin, the people of Lijia Village are sitting or standing, or holding artemisia to help the boatmen row, the boat carries everyone, silently breaking the water in the river, all around, on the official sentry tower on the opposite bank, far away, you can see a little bit of light fluttering.

Brother Jin sat on the deck on the side of the ship, leaning on the canopy of the cabin, from his position, he could hear the voice inside, and the conversation between Erlang and Wang Jian was heard by him without missing a word.

With a smile on his face, he held the Pu knife and stared at the night as dark as ink with deep eyes.

"I've got the hang of it." He muttered to himself, only he could hear: "Really enlightened, there really is such a thing in the world......

The opposite shore took on a hazy shape in the night, and the boat went down the water for a few miles, far bypassing the watchtower of the Kuraji, avoiding the dock on the other side, and landing in a very secluded place, sailing at night, without lights, only illuminated by the moonlight, and without a boatman who was familiar with geography, it was impossible to find a suitable place to go ashore.

Brother Jin stood up, looked at the riverbank in front of him, and then looked back at the cabin, and his smile became more and more intense: "It's enlightened." ”
