The wharf was quiet, except for the faint candle flame hanging on the pole on the shore, flickering a glimmer of light, the wind blowing the river, rippling waves, a small boat stayed on the shore, swaying slightly with the fluctuation of the water.

"Miss, it's not yet dark, and the boatman is already resting, I'm afraid they won't take us across the river," Xiao Tao said in a low voice, staring at the boat.

Murong Qian thought for a moment, slowly walked towards the boat, and responded to Xiao Tao as he walked: "Let's pay double the price, is he still unwilling?"

She jumped lightly onto the boat, knocked on the wooden door of the cabin, and called softly, "Boatman, boatman..... We're going to cross the river."

After a long time, a sentence floated out of it, obviously the man was woken up in his sleep, and his words were a little unhappy: "Yes, Lao Tzu was woken up as soon as he fell asleep, if you want to cross the river outside, come back tomorrow morning."

"I'll pay double the price," Murong said lightly.

"Nope".

"Triple as well".

After a while, candles were lit in the cabin, the wooden door was opened, and a man about thirty years old with a full beard walked out, and looked at Murong Tianran with a little impatience: "Five times."

"Deal".

The bearded man was somewhat surprised when he saw that the woman in front of him agreed so happily, and then showed a hypocritical smile: "This guest, look, you have to take a boat in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent, look at my violent temper, don't mind."

"Let's start the boat", Murong Qianran was reluctant to enter the cabin, the man was full of alcohol, and he looked a little sloppy, thinking that the cabin was not much better, so he had to find a clean place to sit down.

Xiao Tao took out a piece of silver and handed it over, and the bearded man's eyes glowed golden after taking it, so he didn't hesitate, directly raised the small sail, and rowed it hard.

The cold air on the river surface was a little heavy, with a little fog, and it was even more difficult to see the other side, Xiao Tao took out a cloak and covered Murong Tianran's body, and she also put on a piece of clothing, covered her little hands tightly, and waited quietly.

"Two girls, don't blame me for speaking directly, you two have met me tonight, if you meet someone with bad intentions, it will be a trouble", the bearded man gasped and said in a loud voice.

Xiao Tao saw what Miss meant, so she chatted with the bearded man, "Listen to this big brother, have we met a good person?"

The bearded man smiled a little proudly: "Needless to say, although the two girls are dressed ordinarily, their temperament is obviously the daughter of the official eunuch."

Xiao Tao was secretly taken aback, she didn't expect this reckless puppet to be able to see this, not to mention, the young lady also had an ugly face, so she became even more interested: "How can the eldest brother see it"?

"What's ..... this", the bearded man grinned: "By feeling, we are mixed up in the rivers and lakes, if we can't even tell these apart, how can we mix."

"Jianghu? I didn't expect the eldest brother to be a person in the rivers and lakes", Xiao Tao was amused by the bearded man, and looked at Murong Ran, slightly restrained, "Is the rivers and lakes really as written in the novel, and what else is the leader of the martial arts alliance.... Demon Cult.... "What"? In other words, Xiao Tao really didn't see that this bearded man was from the rivers and lakes.

"Of course, every three years of the martial arts conference, I have never fallen behind, I have witnessed the demeanor of the martial arts alliance leader, that is really called a martial arts world, graceful, but unfortunately, our father and mother are ugly, no matter how hard we try, we can't do half a cent of the alliance leader", the bearded man said, slightly depressed.

"That'..... Is there really a demon cult that says"? At this time, Murong Tianran also seemed to be a little interested, and took over and asked.

"But no, the Jade Girl Sect is the first major demon sect in the martial arts, and it is rumored that all of them are female disciples, and even the sect leader is beautiful and moving, but their kung fu is vicious, and they specialize in using men to practice divine skills, and they are rejected by their fellow martial arts colleagues, so they are classified as a demon sect."

Murong Tianran couldn't help but chuckle twice, in modern times, the old-fashioned plot played in the TV series, I didn't expect it to really happen here.

Xiao Tao on the side saw Miss laughing, looked at Miss with some confusion and asked, "Miss..... What are you laughing at"?

Murong Tianran shook his head, put away his smile, and glanced at the other side lightly, the fog gradually dissipated, and the shadows of the trees on the other side could be faintly seen, "Boatman, can you go faster."

The bearded man gasped, a little dissatisfied: "This girl, we are fast enough, it would be good to be able to carry you across the river on this big night."

Murong Tianran stopped talking, the fog dispersed, she knew that it would be dawn soon, and dawn meant that it would soon dawn, if she didn't dare to feel Cangxian County before dawn, she was afraid that something would happen to her again.

For a long time, a touch of fish belly was faintly revealed on the edge of the sky, and Murong Ranran and Xiao Tao walked quickly to Cangxian when they got ashore, because of the waterway, they had to walk a few miles to Cangxian County when they got ashore.

Finally, in the early morning, they rushed to Cangxian, and at this time, the gate of Cangxian had just opened, but fortunately nothing happened, and they easily entered the city.

This place is not as prosperous as Songyang City, but it has a unique flavor, giving Murong the feeling of being poured, as if he has walked into a farmer's house, of course, it can also be seen that the magistrates here have really made blessings for the people.

It was the autumn harvest, and some people went to work in the fields early, and the golden corn was moved into the courtyards of each house with wooden carts, and people had festive smiles on their faces.

Murong Ranran and Xiao Tao found an honest family, gave a few broken silver, and after breakfast, they rested at this house, they did not stay in the inn again, for fear of extraneous branches, because they had not closed their eyes for two days and two nights.

It was not until dusk that the two got up and washed up energetically, and the peasant couple was very honest, and because they were old and knew some eyesight, they did not disturb their rest, and after the two got up, they prepared a delicious meal to entertain them.

"We don't have anything to entertain you, so please make do with it," the woman smiled kindly, and her old wrinkled hands set the dishes and chopsticks, and motioned to them.

"Thank you", Murong Qianran also showed a rare sweet smile, although it was out of place with that ugly face, the old woman still nodded and exited the door.

Xiao Tao packed up the package, and after having dinner with Murong Tanran, she said goodbye to the peasant couple and continued to the next town.

"Miss.... In fact, we go to Yijin Town and then go to Heyang, it is already very close, and now from Cangxian County, it is much farther away", Xiao Tao drove the donkey cart, and looked back from time to time and said, the two of them may be a little tired of walking, so they simply bought a wooden cart and bought a donkey, although the road is a little bumpy, but it is always more comfortable than walking.
