Chapter 33: The Deer Hunter
"Thirty-six!" Outside the cabin, the boatmen shouted, "I'm full!" ”
"I've got twelve of them here, all of them!"
"I'm here too!"
"Wait," Mu Cheng turned to look at the fisherman at the bow of the boat, "can we change boats if we want?" ”
The boatman laughed, "It's not for nothing that there are five places left on my ship...... If you want to change, you have to have other guests willing to change with you! ”
Bai Ling sighed and said in a low voice, "Brother Mu, if you can't bear it, you may not be able to go the same way after crossing the river......"
Li Yiru didn't know whether to enter the ship for a while, and stood there waiting for Mu Cheng and Bai Ling's reaction.
Mu Cheng took a deep look at the seven gray robes he was wearing, and walked in with a calm face.
There are two rows of seats on the left and right in the cabin, and there are handles on both sides of the seats, but the cabin is narrow, and after sitting down, it is almost leg with the opposite person's legs, facing each other, which is very embarrassing.
Mu Cheng took the initiative to sit opposite the gray-robed man who was the leader, but the other party directly stretched out his legs to block Mu Cheng's way.
"This position is reserved for that little brother."
The gray-robed man said with a smile, and then looked at Li Yiru kindly.
Li Yiru pointed at himself and swallowed his saliva a little unconsciously, "Me? ”
"Or the guy next to you." The gray-robed man pointed at Bai Ling, "I've been watching old men all the way, and it's really not fun......"
Bai Ling smiled deeply, and was about to step forward, when Li Yiru suddenly grabbed her, and really walked over by himself.
Mu Cheng and Bai Ling shouted "Third Brother" at the same time, and Li Yiru's movements stopped, but he still sat down opposite the gray-robed man.
"I'm fine." Li Yiru said with a smile.
The old woman and her grandson were sitting at the very edge at this time, looking at this side with some uneasiness, and the boatman also opened the curtain and looked inside, "Why haven't you sat down yet?" It's time to go! ”
Bai Ling sat down beside Li Yiru in silence, and next to her, Mu Cheng also sat down.
Seeing this, the old woman spoke outside, "Boat family, it's all right, you can get up!" ”
"W-hold on!"
The boatman extinguished the waits in the cabin first, and for a moment everything fell into darkness.
With a long call from the boatman, the whole ship began to rise and fall.
The gray-robed men looked so familiar with the waves, and they silently clutched the handles on either side of their seats, drifting with the tide without saying a word, like lifeless scarecrows devoid of any life—except for the one sitting across from Li Yiru.
He kept smiling and staring at the boy's face.
The rushing waves lifted and threw the boat up and down, and the sound of the water crashed against the outside of the cabin, as if it were going to break the whole ship apart at any moment.
There were no windows in the cabin, but the curtains at both ends were draped cotton cloth, which rolled up and fell from time to time in the sway, casting the moonlight and the water of the river into the cabin.
Li Yiru finally felt the pressure from the gray-robed man at this time, and he clung to the chair and kept staring at his toes.
However, I looked up several times and met the eyes of the opposite side.
This kind of gaze is like two people in the daytime, Li Yiru doesn't know how to describe his feelings, he only feels that the other party is looking at him, like a pack of wolves looking at a piece of fat.
“…… Is there something wrong with you? Li Yiru asked with a frown.
"Nope." The gray-robed man seemed to realize his faux pas, and his slender eyes narrowed again, "You'd better stay close to me, though." ”
"What?" Li Yiru thought he hadn't heard clearly.
The waves hit the boat again, but the boatman steered it and rushed straight to the waves.
"You want to be closer to me......" The gray-robed man laughed at the sound of the surging river.
In the eyes of Mu Cheng and Bai Ling, the gray-robed man's voice was almost inaudible, and they could only see him speaking silently, his two thin lips gently opening and closing.
The waves were split into two, and the frightened cries of a child were heard in the cabin, and the old woman let go of one hand and gently touched the child's chest, signaling him not to be afraid.
The gray-robed man said no more, but smiled and leaned his back against the back of his chair and looked beyond the cabin.
In the midst of the cries and the lapping of the river, Li Yiru was extremely sure of what he had just heard.
- "If something happens in a moment, I can save your life." ”
The river roared, and he looked at Bai Ling and Mu Cheng in some panic, but before he could speak, he felt that the whole ship seemed to stop.
Everyone's bodies were pouring in the same direction—at this moment, they had already come to Jiang Xin.
The old woman was the first to realize that something was wrong with the situation, and she reached out blankly, lifted the curtain of the boat, and saw that the boatmen were throwing something at each other, and the sound seemed to be chains.
The sound also attracted the attention of Bai Ling and Mu Cheng, who listened to the shouts of the boatmen outside, who seemed to be trying to tie the boats together.
"What for...... What are you doing here? The old woman asked tremblingly.
The boatman answered her with wild yelling and laughter.
The wind was strong in the middle of the river, and the three small boats shook more violently than before, as if they were about to be swallowed up by the river at any moment—but the boatmen who stood at the bow of the boat stood freely in the feng shui, and they swayed with the boat, throwing ropes to each other, like a tumbler standing in the mist.
It was only when the three boats were tied together that the boatman lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Take what is valuable to you! Hand it all over! ”
Bai Ling heard inaudible roars and panicked shouts from the other two ships.
"I know all of you are capable!" The boatman smiled and looked at Mu Cheng - after all, he was equipped with two knives at his waist, but the boatman's face was full of arrogance, "But this is not on the ground, if you don't listen to Lao Tzu, on this river, you all have to die!" ”
After that, there was another string of laughter.
The old woman who was closest to the bow of the boat cried, but she couldn't, and the old man trembled and took out the money bag from her clothes, and then the moonlight, and the man saw that the child seemed to be wearing something around his neck, and whatever it was, he reached out and grabbed it with all his might, and almost hung the child up.
The old woman cried and shouted, "Make a sin", and then hugged her little grandson tightly in her arms.
"And you! A few of you! The boatman pointed to the gray-robed man who had been silent, "What good things are on you, now you have taken the initiative to hand them over, if I find them out in a while, Lao Tzu will throw you all into the river to feed the fish!" ”
However, the other six gray-robed men all sat there in silence, as if they hadn't heard.
The boatman grabbed one of them by the collar and slapped him a few times, even in the sound of the river, the slap was still loud.
However, the gray robe was like a wooden man, and he was beaten and scolded by the boatman, without the slightest intention of fighting back or resisting.
"Boatman," Li Yiru raised his hand as the gray-robed man opposite, still with an unchanging smile on his face, "They are all poor and poor, you come here, I have good things for you." ”
