Suining.

A penny stretched out: "Study, hold on." ”

As soon as Miss Fang came to her senses, she saw a bamboo pole stretched out, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she stretched out her hands and grabbed it tightly.

The sailor was so energetic that he only shouted: "Rise" is like the 6 Wenlong who picked the pulley in "The Legend of Yue", and picked Fang Wei up completely.

With a "plop", Miss Fang fell on the deck.

Although the power is fierce, it does not hurt.

There was a real cheer in his ears: "The knife is so powerful, it deserves to be a good man of the Cao Gang." ”

It gradually became clear in front of him, and when Fang Wei looked up, he saw a large circle of heads around his head. The closest one was a sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The kid was carrying a bamboo pole in his hand, probably some kind of knife.

"What's this, I'm going to help people like me. Let's just say that we are the water gang leader, as soon as we stretch out our hands, we will lift three or five men like chickens. The knife threw the bamboo pole in his hand to a sailor, reached out to press Fang Wei's stomach, and tried to press out the river water she drank into her stomach.

Miss Fang Bingqing Yujie, how can she let a stranger touch her body, screamed, and stretched out her hand to pat away the knife's right hand: "Don't touch me"

"Coax", the sailors on the ship laughed: "Knife, people are in good spirits, they can't die." Besides, the scholar's body is expensive, how can he let you touch it. ”

Xiaodao looked annoyed, and snorted in his nose: "If you don't touch it, you won't touch it, what's the big deal, isn't it just a few more years of reading?" ”

Someone smiled and said: "Brother Xiaodao, what you say, what's the big deal, once a scholar wins the show, he will have a fame, and it can be seen that the official does not kneel." What are you doing, don't say that you have met the magistrate, even if you meet an ordinary team leader, you will not knock your head loudly. If you win the lift, you will be the master. What is the lord, that is the stars in the sky, and the stars in the sky can be touched by your dirty hands? ”

The knife was startled, and a very impatient face suddenly became vivid, and he stuck out his tongue: "Our helper said that if ordinary people touch the master, their hands will be rotten." Fortunately, you reminded me that the knife is begging for a living on the water, if the hand is rotten and there is no martial arts, it is better to throw it into the water and die. ”

It can be seen that although Xiao Dao is a member of the Cao Gang, he always pretended to be fierce in the past, but in the end he is just a child. This tongue sticking out reveals a trace of innocence and simplicity.

There was another burst of laughter.

Seeing that the strange hand of the knife finally didn't reach out, Fang Wei's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but cough loudly again. This cough could not be stopped, until her face was flushed, and tears came out.

"Everyone let me, Xiao Xianggong is soaking wet, and if he continues like this, he is really going to freeze out. It's better to get into the cabin and change into clean clothes. An old man came in a row.

"It's the owner." Everyone hurriedly got out of the way.

"Xianggong, come with me." The proprietor walked towards the cabin with Fang Wei, asking about Fang Wei's situation as he went. He also said that his surname was An, and he was a raw silk dealer who was collecting raw silk in Huai'an and preparing to sell it to Fangshan. As for the knife, it was the Cao gang who came to escort the boat.

The Cao Gang was the largest gang on the Grand Canal, but every ship carrying goods on the Grand Canal had to pay them a certain amount of money, and they would send someone to escort them.

When the boss surnamed An asked about her life experience, Miss Fang only said that she was a scholar in Suining, and there was only one old father in the family. Speaking of the sad part, Fang Wei couldn't help but shed tears again.

Boss An also accompanied him to sigh a few times, then threw her a few clean clothes, closed the door and left.

Scholars love face, so naturally they will not untie their clothes in front of ordinary people, and Boss An also knows this. In this way, Fang Wei did not expose his daughter's body.

After changing his clothes and drinking another bowl of Pipa Skewer Shellfish Soup boiled by Boss An, Fang Wei's coughing stopped, and his body warmed up. At this time, I thought of my father and Fang Yong, and I couldn't help crying loudly.

Seeing her crying sadly, the people on the boat were not comforted, and they were still in awe of the scholars, so they only sailed silently.

Fang Wei cried all the way, only to feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker.

Boss An is also a kind-hearted person, and whenever he encounters disaster victims along the way, he will be contained on the ship one by one and sent up with hot soup and rice.

Within two days, the ship was full of people. In order to make room, Boss An even threw the raw silk he bought into the water, and it seemed that he came to Huai'an to buy raw silk this time not only got nothing, but accompanied a large sum of silver.

Xiaodao was a little dissatisfied: "Boss An, do you have such a business?" Two more trips like this, and the old Ben will have to get involved. "Boss An is an old patron of the Cao Gang, and he has been coming and going on the Grand Canal in the past two years, and he has contributed a lot of silver to the Cao Gang. And Boss An's business name is directly responsible for Xiaodao, if Boss An goes bankrupt and loses this customer, the future helper will definitely blame him for Xiaodao's inability to do things.

Boss An smiled: "You don't have to worry about the old decay of the knife, money and wealth are not brought to life and death, and if they are gone, they will be gone." Don't worry, my business won't collapse. However, I will have to ask you to bear witness for me when the time comes. ”

"Witness, witness what?" Knife was full of doubts.

Boss An replied: "That's right, I threw all the goods away for the relief victims this time." According to the rules of Fangshan manufacturing, as long as the merchant has bought commercial insurance, as long as he encounters a loss, he can go to them to receive compensation. I heard that Sun Jia's shopkeeper will come to Huai'an in the near future, and when the time comes, you will need a knife to witness in front of her, so that you can receive this insurance money from her. ”

When Fang Wei heard this new thing, he was not curious, and knew that Fangshan weaving was Sun Dan's industry, so he immediately forgot the pain in his heart and listened attentively.

"So that's the case, I also heard that Fangshan has some kind of insurance." The knife slapped his chest puffy: "Don't worry, how can the people in the Cao Gang be the most righteous, I will help you do this testimony." ”

Boss An hurriedly smiled: "Thank you Brother Xiaodao for that." ”

Seeing that Miss Fang was eavesdropping on the side, Xiaodao was a little unhappy, and couldn't help but say to Boss An: "Boss An, it's not me saying you, save this scholar, I don't have any opinion." But why did you save everyone on the boat, you see, what kind of crowding the ship is now. There is a saying in our water people, this person is going to drown, that is the dragon lord wants to take him, you save one, you have to take a life to make up for it. The Dragon Lord will not do loss-making transactions, and in the future, you and I will be unlucky. ”

Fang Wei was a little angry in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer: "In vain, your Cao Gang still claims to be heroes, and it is not necessary to make people cold when they say such a crooked reason that they will not be saved when they see death." ”

Xiao Dao turned his head sharply to stare at Fang Wei: "Fang Xianggong, don't think that you are a scholar and just talk nonsense in front of me." If it weren't for me, you would have fed Wang Ba a long time ago, what do you look like, I'm a scholar, hehe, a scholar, look at your appearance, I'm afraid that you won't be famous. Show talent or lift people? ”

Fang Wei was naturally not a showman, let alone a person, but he shouted angrily: "I don't have any fame, what's the matter, you want to throw me into the water?" ”

Boss An persuaded again and again: "Forget it, let's make a step forward." ”

The knife raised his head and rolled his eyes to the sky: "I see that your identity as a scholar is also very suspicious, you really dare not throw you into the water?" Readers, hehe, your lives are expensive. One life is worth ten ordinary people. More than ten people have been rescued on this boat, I will throw you into the water now, win and lose, and in the future, the Dragon Lord will not blame our Cao Gang. ”

Boss An was shocked, "No"

Fang Wei shouted violently: "You dare"

The knife was just to scare Fang Wei, hehe sneered a few times, then turned around and ignored Miss Fang.

At this time, some sailors cheered: "Huai'an has arrived, Huai'an has arrived." ”

Fang Wei hurriedly looked up, but saw a huge and majestic city in front of him.

Fang Wei remembered what Fang Yong had said to him before he died: find Sun Dan and tell him about Ganbida leading people to blow up the embankment. Ask him to report to the court, seek justice for his father and the people of Suining.

Although she felt that her body was so weak that she couldn't support it, she also forced her spirit, gritted her teeth and secretly ruthless: "Fang Wei, Fang Wei, you can't fall, you must not fall." If you fall, Daddy, Seventh Uncle or the people of Suining will all die in vain. ”

When the boat docked, Boss An took a bag and opened it, and it was full of yellow copper coins. He ordered people to give each of the victims a bunch of money.

Naturally, everyone got off the boat with great gratitude.

As soon as he saw the money, Fang Wei secretly screamed in his heart. She also took some gold and silver with her when she fled, but as soon as she fell into the water, the package had already been washed away by the waves. Now she is penniless, and she is afraid that she will starve to death in less than two days.

Thinking of this, she didn't feel like walking towards Shopkeeper An.

The knife was sharp-eyed, and he sneered loudly: "What's the matter, scholar, do you also want to learn from beggars to beg for food?" Yes, yes, you scholars are all proud of the sky, how can you reach out and ask people for money. ”

Fang Wei was originally a delicate and expensive county lady, when did she ever suffer such anger. was furious in his heart, and he didn't take the money in Boss An's hand, turned his head, and strode towards the shore.

"Fang Xianggong, Fang Xianggong." Boss An shouted loudly behind his back.

"Haha" followed by Xiaodao's unbridled laughter: "Fang Xianggong, you can't die of hunger." If I'm not mistaken, there should have been a porridge shed in the city for disaster relief, and if you don't have any shame, you can go there and have a good time. ”

Fang Wei walked faster, and tears kept pouring out: "Daddy, even if my daughter starves to death, she won't eat that food, and my daughter won't embarrass you." ”

After walking for a while, I saw that there were already many victims in the city.

Because he was in a hurry, Fang Wei couldn't breathe, stopped and held on to a bolted horse pillar on the side of the street with his hand, and his mouth was full of the smell of blood.
