Xia Ye'er rented a carriage to take her to the border river, and along the way, she kept asking the coachman, "Uncle, what is the origin of this border river?" The coachman turned to Xia Ye'er and said, "This river is a bit of a mouthful, and they all say that the river god here is short-tempered, so this river is very dangerous."

"Are there many boatmen on the river?" Xia Ye'er continued to chase them, and the coachman couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "The girl is a foreigner." "yes, yes." Xia Ye'er pouted, what's wrong with the outsiders, really. "On this river, there are boatmen, but there are very few, after all, there are many conditions on this river, and there are many dangers, and no one dares to drive a boat casually."

"And how did everyone cross the river?" Xia Ye'er is a little strange, since the monk is in danger and there are not many boatmen, if something happens, the lives of a boatload of people will be gone, so what should everyone do if they want to cross the river.

The coachman saw that Xia Ye'er was a foreigner, very delicate and beautiful, and couldn't help but want to help her more. "Girl, I advise you, don't cross the river casually if you are not in a hurry." "Uncle, I'm in a hurry." Xia Ye'er made a cute look.

"Is the girl going to the Yue Clan?" The coachman asked, and Xia Ye'er nodded, "Yes, there is something very important about where I go." "Okay, since you can't persuade the girl, then send the girl a word, we have an old man Li here, and his boat and river god has never been angry."

"And such a miraculous thing?" Xia Ye'er asked, "The matter of ghosts and gods, stay away, but it is better to believe it than not to believe it, the girl must remember the words of the old man." The coachman said. Xia Ye'er nodded, she always felt that there was something greasy in it, but after all, she hadn't really experienced it, and she couldn't tell what the reason was.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and with the conversation between Xia Ye'er and the coachman, the car arrived at the border river, "Girl, get off, it's here." The coachman enthusiastically opened the curtain of the sedan chair for Xia Ye'er and said. Xia Ye'er bent over and walked out, then lifted her skirt and gently got out of the carriage.

It is very lively next to the border river, and a small grass market has been formed, where all kinds of things are bought, among which most of the trinkets that women especially like, for this phenomenon, Xia Yeer is a little puzzled. "Uncle, this is your money" After a hurried glance at the situation by the river, Xia Ye'er turned around and settled the bill for the coachman.

"Oops, how is this good, it doesn't take so much." The coachman looked like an honest man, Xia Ye'er smiled and said, "If you want it, how many words have you talked to me along the way, without you, I will suffocate to death." ”、

After listening to Xia Ye'er's words, the coachman put his hands on his waist and wiped them, and then embarrassedly accepted the money given by Xia Ye'er. "By the way, uncle, why are there all the trinkets selling by the river" Xia Ye'er suddenly remembered this question and asked.

The coachman glanced at the river. "The girl doesn't know, the other side is the Yue's country, the Yue's country, it's very strange, women's inferiority to men is particularly serious, so generally the people who come to the Yue's country from here are girls."

"I see." Xia Ye'er understood that the women of the Yue Clan were inferior to men, and wouldn't it be possible for the son to show it if he went by himself. Then he waved at the coachman, "I'm leaving, uncle, goodbye." "Well, goodbye, take care, girl." The coachman got into the carriage with a smile and walked away.

Xia Ye'er walked into the small grass market by the river, "Girl, let's come and see my rouge gouache." "Girl, I have a new hairpin in my house...... Xia Ye'er was enjoying the prosperity of this place while looking at these gadgets, although there were all these things in the Cloud Palace, but they were not as interesting as these things in the grass market.

I can't look any further, it's important to find a boat to cross the river. Xia Ye'er thought about it, so she came to the dock, but there were only two boatmen on the dock, which one was Li Laohan, Xia Ye'er didn't know.

"Excuse me, that is Old Man Li" Xia Ye'er asked, and at this time, a man who was about the age of a sixtieth birthday stood up, "I am, what do you have to do, girl." "You are Li Laohan, I heard that your ship is safe."

"It was the river god who lifted me up and let me live a few more years." Li Laohan said while smoking his old pipe, Xia Ye'er looked at Li Laohan's arrogant appearance, and her heart instantly became unhappy.

"Girl, if you want to cross the river by boat, you must take Li Laohan's boat" At this time, an eldest lady came over and said to Xia Ye'er. Xia Ye'er looked at Li Laohan and then at another boatman. It's strange why this boatman came out to ferry and brought a child.

Just when Xia Ye'er was wondering herself, the child saw that Xia Ye'er was looking at herself, and suddenly ran over Xia Ye'er, "Sister, sister", and the child hugged Xia Ye'er's legs, which really scared Xia Ye'er, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Sister, come and take my father's boat." The child raised his head and looked at Xia Ye'er with an almost begging look, with tears in his eyes. "You get up first and tell my sister why you want to take your father's boat."

The child stood up with Xia Ye'er's support, "Sister, my mother is sick, and the family has no money, so Daddy came out to cross the river, but it's been ten days, and no one has come to take Daddy's boat." It's all him, so everyone doesn't take Daddy's boat. The child's eyes instantly sharpened, and the immature little finger pointed at Li Laohan.

Li Laohan was a little angry, "You little baby, you are so ignorant, if your father can save everyone's life, everyone will also go to your father's boat, and you, a little girl, will you sit on Uncle Ben's boat." ”

Looking at such a flamboyant and domineering Li Laohan, Xia Ye'er felt very disgusted, so she took out the silver from her pocket, "Here you go, I'll take your father's boat today." The child put away the silver and jumped up happily, "Daddy, my mother is finally saved." "Go home and take your mother to the doctor." Xia Ye'er said to the child.

"Oh, girl, this is a life-threatening matter, and you can't mess around." The eldest lady just now came over to persuade Xia Ye'er again, and the people around her also began to talk about "This girl is so bold" and "How can you be so nonsense." ”

Xia Ye'er never believed in ghosts and gods, so what everyone said about the river god was irritable, but she didn't get angry at Li Laohan's ridiculous words, and she herself wouldn't believe it, there must be something greasy in this.

Some people, the more taboo things are, the more she has to go to see what is going on, Xia Ye'er is such a person. "It's okay, don't worry, auntie" Looking at Xia Ye'er's innocent smile, the aunt sighed "Hey"

"When are we going to cross the river?" Xia Ye'er turned to look at the boatman and asked, the boatman was already untying the rope, and saw Xia Ye'er bolting the rope back again. "Girl, if you don't, you should follow Li Laohan, and I'll give you back the money."
