Chapter 251: Crossing the River
By the time Li Si had already arrived near Jingning County, it was already the next day.
As soon as he arrived near Jingning County, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
In front of his eyes, the Bainu River, which had dried up before, was already full of water, flowing endlessly, and the sound of the surging river resounded in his ears.
You must know that when he left Jingning County, the Bainu River was all dry, and he even took a shortcut from the riverbed.
Now, it was impossible for him to cross the riverbed.
Seeing this scene, Li Si was a little happy in his heart, which showed that Bainuhe Longjun had already dealt with the drought in Jingning County.
At this time, he even saw the people on the other side passing by, their faces were full of red light, and it was obvious that they had eaten very well recently.
Seeing this, Li Si rode his horse and walked along the river to see where he could find a place to cross the river.
He had just discovered that the bridge before the White Girl River was gone, and now he had to think of a way to cross the river.
And when he was riding a horse to find a way to the river, he suddenly saw a small boat swaying on the river in the distance.
"Boatman! Boatman! ”
Seeing the boat, Li Si immediately shouted.
The captain's boatman seemed to hear his shout, answered in a loud voice, and rowed slowly toward it.
Not long after, the boat had already arrived in front of Li Si, and a swarthy middle-aged man on it looked at Li Si and asked, "Scholar, do you want to take a boat?"
Li Si got off the horse and said with a smile: "Yes, can the boatman cross me." ”
Hearing Li Si's words, the middle-aged man looked at the horse beside him, and said with some hesitation: "It's okay to cross you, but you ...... horse."
Li Si smiled and said, "As long as you cross us, I will give you two taels of silver." ”
He had observed the boat, and although it was small, there was no problem with crossing the horses.
When the middle-aged man heard this, the look in his eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, you go forward, there is a ferry not far away, and I will take you there." ”
"Okay." Li Si nodded and walked forward.
The boatman rowed forward, and after a while he was gone.
It didn't take long for Li Si to arrive at the ferry port that the boatman said.
The ferry was very rudimentary, it should have been recently taken, and it could only be barely used, and the boatman had stopped at the ferry and was waiting for him.
Then, Li Si pulled the jujube red horse at this ferry port and got on the boat.
Jujube Red Horse was still a little resistant when he got on the boat, but under Li Si's eyes, he cautiously stepped on the boat.
Fortunately, this boat doesn't have any tents or anything like that, just a simple small fishing boat, otherwise it really can't accommodate jujube red horses.
But even so, the boat seemed a little crowded.
"Gone!" Seeing Li Si take the horse to the boat, the boatman laughed, and then the oars rowed, and the boat slowly left the ferry.
The boatman was obviously a veteran of rowing, and there was no bump in the boat, and it was extremely comfortable to sit on, and even the jujube red horse, which had been a little restless before, slowly quieted down.
"Where are the guests coming from?" The boatman rowed the boat, looked at Li Si, and asked with a smile.
Li Si smiled slightly and said, "Oh, I'm from Zetian Mansion and I'm going home." ”
Hearing Li Si's words, the boatman was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Zetianfu?" So did you go to the township test? ”
"Well, that's good, it's just that I didn't get into the exam this year, so I can only wait a few years to take the test." Li Sihe laughed.
Hearing this, the boatman nodded, then shook his head and said, "It may not be bad luck that you didn't pass the exam, or maybe you don't have that ability." ”
At this, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Li Si frowned slightly, he couldn't figure out why he had a good chat with the boatman, why the boatman spoke so harshly.
But he immediately stretched his brows, what are you talking about with this person, is it possible to tell this person about his experience?
But he didn't speak, and the boatman was still talking about some of his big truths, chattering endlessly, which made Li Si's heart a little irritable.
Then he closed his eyes, and out of sight was pure.
However, not long after he closed his eyes, he felt a pair of strong hands fall on his arms, and then push him hard.
"What are you doing?" Li Si opened his eyes, looked at the boatman who pushed him hard, and asked expressionlessly.
Hearing his words, the boatman's face showed a panicked look, and then he pushed him harder.
Seeing the boatman like this, Li Si's face turned cold, he stretched out his hand and clasped it on his shoulder, and then squeezed it hard.
"Ah!!h The boatman was pinched by the shoulder, and immediately fell to his knees screaming, so painful that snot and tears flowed out.
Seeing him like this, Li Si slowly let go of his hand, let the boatman fall on the boat, and said lightly: "Send me ashore, I will treat this incident as if it never happened." ”
At this time, he didn't know what the boatman had in mind, and he obviously saw that he was a weak scholar, so he wanted to make money and kill him.
After all, just a jujube red horse is worth a lot of money.
"Good...... Okay......" The boatman nodded busily as he rubbed his already shriveled shoulders with cold sweat on his forehead.
When rowing the boat, the boatman's eyes showed a look of fear, this scholar was so eccentric that he couldn't push himself.
Don't run into anything dirty.
However, he observed Li Si a few times by himself, and his heart relaxed slightly, this person has a shadow, and it is definitely not a dirty thing.
But there was anger in his heart immediately, this person also said that when nothing happened, he really couldn't be bullied? His arms were crushed, and a foreigner dared to insult him like this, and when he turned around, he asked someone to do him together.
First of all, now that so many people have died in Jingning County, one more talent is not a big deal.
Not long after, the boat slowly arrived at the ferry, and Li Si and Zao Hongma got off the boat and walked away.
Not long after he walked away, the boatman stopped the boat at the ferry and prepared to sneakily follow Li Si.
And at this time, suddenly he didn't move, there was a look of fear in his eyes, and the flesh of his neck was as tightly tensed as if it had been caught in something, so that he couldn't make a sound.
Then, his body suddenly staggered back uncontrollably, step by step, into the river of white water.
After falling into the Baishui River, his face was full of fear, but his body still retreated uncontrollably, deeper and deeper.
In his despair, the river washed over his body over and over again, pouring into his mouth and nose, leaving him in agony.
People in the distance also saw this scene, and they all cried out in horror, and some even went directly down to the river to save people.
But when they arrived, the boatman had disappeared into the river and was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Li Si watched what was happening from a distance, and his face was expressionless.
All of this was done by him for Xiao Xuan.
Looking at the boatman's behavior, it may not be once or twice, so killing him, Li Si has no psychological burden in his heart.
Such a person should be killed!
