Chapter 43: Escape in the middle of the night
"Boat man, it's not enough to cross the river for a tael of silver, it's too greedy."
The boatman took off his straw hat and tapped the plank with his fingers.
"One tael of silver is only enough to cross half of the river, and you need to get at least three taels of silver to the other side. Is Childe over or not? ”
Bai Zhi crossed her waist: "But it's not!" Get us back quickly. Isn't it obvious that people like you are robbing? Earn these black-hearted money with a clear conscience, and there are gods in your head, and you are not afraid of retribution. ”
The boatman's face changed, and he sat on the bow of the boat, and shook the boat with one hand on the side.
Bai Zhi almost fell into the river unsteadily, and Nanqiang sat at the stern of the boat, steady as a rock and motionless.
"If you want to go back, you can also give three taels of silver. If the two guest officers are good in the water, they can swim back, and I don't think this boy is dressed like a few taels of silver. ”
Nanqiang sneered: "I'm afraid that this son has a life to earn a few taels of silver, and you have no money to spend." ”
After hearing this, the boatman smiled contemptuously: "Childe has such a big tone, is he a foreigner?" ”
The boatman continued to press the hull with his hand, and the water splashed at the bottom of the boat.
"It's a good way to drive people into the middle of the river and slaughter them."
The boatman continued: "The first time I went to the Huai River, I didn't know the rules of crossing the river. In and out of the river, these ten miles and eight towns can naturally have some ability to eat a bite of food by boat here. I also advise you, if you are a rich child from other places who can spend money to buy peace when you go out, it is more cost-effective to spend money. ”
Nanqiang stretched out his foot and kicked Bai Zhi: "Give him the silver." ”
Bai Zhi took out three taels of silver, and the boatman immediately changed his words: "The price of three taels of silver just now is now five taels of silver." ”
Bai Zhi clenched her fingers angrily: "It's only three taels just now, why are you five taels of silver?!" Aren't you sitting on the ground and starting the price! ”
The boatman raised his voice proudly: "Didn't I just say that the three or two sons didn't agree?" Five taels of silver, if you don't agree, don't blame me for asking for ten taels of silver! ”
Bai Zhi glanced at Nan Qiang, and Nan Qiang didn't raise his eyelids: "Give him five taels, you always have to spend money to buy a lesson when you go out." ”
The boatman took five taels of silver, picked up the boat, and propped up the boat.
Bai Zhi was angry, her young lady was a tiger when she was in Nanhuai, and how did Nanhuai become a cat that was rounded and flattened.
When they arrived on the other side, the boatman smiled: "The two sons are good to go." ”
Nanqiang took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned around and asked the boatman, "How many taels of silver is your boat worth?" ”
The boatman was stunned: "Eight taels." ”
Nanqiang took out a long whip and snatched the bamboo pole from the boatman's hand with a whip.
A bamboo pole knocked off the boatman's leg, the boatman bared his teeth in pain, and Nanqiang hit the boatman on the back with another bamboo pole.
The boatman plunged headlong into the mud and sand, and Nanqiang glanced around.
The seven-foot-tall strong man on the side rolled up his sleeves, and the boatmen around him picked up bamboo poles one after another.
Bai Zhi was so frightened that she hid behind Nan Qiang: "Childe, you have something to say." We are outnumbered by these three or five people, and we will suffer. ”
Nanqiang kicked Bai Zhi away, and Bai Zhi ran away a few feet away.
Nanqiang picked up the bamboo poles, one by one, these boatmen have practiced some clips, and their bodies are strong. After a few sticks, he still didn't retreat in the slightest.
Nanqiang threw away the bamboo pole, pulled out the long whip, and held the long whip tightly in his hand: "Today, let you have a good experience of how powerful I am." ”
Nanqiang jumped up, and with a wave of his long whip, several strong men who were close to him ate the whip, and a cut broke on his dark face, and red blood gushed out.
Seeing that they couldn't beat it, the boatmen lit fireworks, and the boatmen on the other side rowed over one after another.
The sun rose in the east, and the sky gradually brightened, Bai Zhi looked at the rows of boats rowing over on the river, and felt cowardly.
"Childe don't fight!"
Nanqiang kicked down a strong man and snorted: "Even if you come for more than ten or twenty, the master will beat him to his stomach, so that they can't get up!" ”
Bai Zhi squatted on the ground, drawing circles on the wet and soft sand with her fingers, holding her chin with one hand and counting in her mouth.
On the river beach, a few white-haired ducks led a flock of fluffy little yellow ducks to the river.
There are more than 20 small boats on the river beach, and a small inconspicuous white cloth is hung on the boat.
Bai Zhi bled her cheeks and watched as there were fewer and fewer people surrounding Nanqiang, and more and more people were lying on the ground and rolling.
Thinking about it, the collusion between these boatmen is not overnight. If you don't go out of the rivers and lakes, how can you know the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, just after you came out of Nanhuai, you encountered such a thing, and the rivers and lakes did not give Bai Zhi a good impression.
Bai Zhi's eyes chattered and began to look at the way out.
Bai Zhi saw that the last one fell, and counted to thirty in her mouth. Bai Zhi licked the corners of her mouth, these people also have some skills, and they can spend these hours with her young lady.
Nanqiang took a bag of silver in his hand and weighed it in his hand.
Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and brushed Nanqiang's hair: "Childe's hair is messy!" ”
Bai Zhi handed over the handkerchief again: "Childe is sweating!" ”
Nanqiang took the handkerchief, wiped it together, and threw the handkerchief to Bai Zhi, with a disgusted tone: "Look at you, girls." ”
Bai Zhi looked at Nanqiang's bag of silver: "How many silver taels did Childe win?" ”
"Fifteen taels."
"Childe, please take a carriage and walk to Kyoto, then you will go to the Year of the Monkey?"
"Master is the one who rides in the carriage?"
"How about buying a donkey. Ah...... Miss, the slave's leg is going to break......"
Entered Biancheng, Nanqiang visited the most famous Qinglou in Biancheng, drank the most famous Qionghua brew in Biancheng, and lay in the gentle township of Qinglou Oiran overnight, a pot of wine, a song of lovesickness, and felt that the wind and snow in the world were worth it in a trance.
