"This official, are you going to take a boat?" The boatman asked. I don't know when anyone calls me, the first sentence always blurts out so naturally, as if nothing is important.

"Naturally, it's just, this official will ask you first, can anyone take the boat in the morning?" The man looked anxiously into the distance, not at the boatman's face.

"Well...... "How shrewd the boatman was, when he looked at these people, he remembered the explanation of the boy in the morning, maybe these people were looking for them, so they just smiled.

Seeing this, the man directly threw over a gold ingot, and said coldly: "This official doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, if you have something, hurry up and say it, this is enough." ”

When the boatman saw the gold ingots on his face, his eyes instinctively flashed with the light of gold, and he was already full of smiles in surprise, and said with a smile: "Official, you are really generous!" At first glance, he is a generous person, enough, enough! What do you want to know, just ask, the old man must know everything. Don't say it, just ask a few words, this is a big gold ingot, you can't use it up if you buy this boat! ”

The man ignored the boatman who had met Jin Zi as if he had seen his father's mother, but he only snorted arrogantly, and then he raised his head and said with contempt in his eyes: "If you dare not say it, ask the official if the knife in his hand is willing!" As he spoke, he quickly drew his saber, and the light reflected from the sword in the sunlight was very dazzling.

As soon as the boatman saw that the official had actually drawn out his saber, it seemed that he was about to move seriously, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, may I ask, the official." ”

The boatman had already understood how to deal with it for a while, so he looked at the official without fear, but, strangely, the official did not ask anything more.

I saw that the man in black did not look at the boatman, but quickly took out a painting from his sleeve, to be exact, a portrait.

"Look, have you ever seen this man?" The man asked, gesturing to the portrait.

The boatman took a step forward as he was told, and looked at the portrait very carefully, very seriously, very ...... Well, the input, at first seemed a little confused, slowly became clearer and clearer, but in the end he became more and more convinced, in fact, he saw from the first glance, isn't the person on it the girl in the morning? It's just that he didn't respond with a smile until the end: "Back to the official master, this person, Lao Yu recognizes that she is none other than the person who bought a boat from Lao Yu in the morning." ”

When the man in black heard this, his face immediately turned happy, and he asked in a low voice, "Really?" Are you sure? ”

The boatman saw that the black-clothed man's expression changed slightly, so he continued: "Naturally, although the old man is old, but these eyes are still very good, besides, this riverside, how long has no girl come, this is finally a fairy-like girl, how can the old man not remember!" ”

"You're not mistaken, are you?" The man asked again, as if to be sure.

The boatman nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, the old man will not recognize the wrong person." ”

"And have they ever been on a boat?" The man hurriedly asked again.

"Sir, they bought a boat from the old man, but it's just ......," said the boatman, pausing as if he had some scruples. The man hurriedly urged, "Just how? ”

"It's just that there was something wrong with the boat they fancied, and the old man also told them, but the girl didn't know what was wrong, but she had to buy the boat and set off early, but the old man was worried, official, if you are her relatives and friends, you must not blame the old man! The old man didn't know what grievances that girl had suffered, but she was very unhappy when she looked at it anyway. ”

"You mean, she bought a faulty boat?" The man asked in surprise.

The boatman nodded very melancholy, but said to Li Ling, who bought the boat, with a smile in his heart: "Childe, the old man has not broken his promise to you, and he has not taken your silver in vain." ”

The man in black looked back at the others, one of whom seemed to be suspicious.

At this time, a childish and cheerful voice floated over: "Daddy, Daddy, you see I've caught a fish again!" This fish is still colorful! It's as beautiful as that sister's dress in the morning! ”

The boatman was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart: "It's broken! When the man in black heard the voice, he had already hurried to the little child, took him over, and asked, "Little Maotou, where has that sister gone?" ”

The little boy seemed to be frightened, but he was stunned.

The boatman hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to beg the man in black: "Official, the child is ignorant, please raise your noble hand and let him go!" ”

The man just glanced at the boatman coldly, but his hands did not mean to relax.

"Say it! If you don't say it, your grandfather will throw you into this river to feed the fish!" The man glared at the child and said viciously.

"It's not me who feeds the fish, it's my sister who feeds the fish! My sister has already gone to feed the fish! ”

"Sister? What sister? The man asked impatiently.

The other gently waved at the man, took a step forward, and smiled at the child, "Little brother, do you like fish very much?" ”

The little kid nodded happily.

The man bent down and said, "Just now, my brother passed by and saw a lot of very beautiful fish, and my brother can buy them for you, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Yes, yes! Brother, if you buy me the fish, I'll tell you my secret, okay? The child said solemnly with his innocent and lovely face.

The man hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course this is good, but ah, now my brother doesn't understand something, I want to ask you, can you tell my brother everything you see?" ”

When the boatman heard this, he was already sweating profusely in a hurry, so he had to say again and again: "Official, he is just a child, how can his words be taken seriously?" If you want to know something, just ask the old man. ”

The man smiled slyly, and ignored the boatman, squatted down in front of the child, and asked softly, "Did a beautiful sister leave on the boat in the morning?" ”

The child thought for a moment with a confused face, and then said, "Beautiful sister? Yes, that sister...... "When the boatman heard the child say this, his heart had already risen to his throat, this thing of being entrusted by people to be loyal to people, if it was a bad thing, then he really couldn't live with that son!"

The man stared at the child with an anxious face, as if he wanted to swallow it...... (To be continued.) )
