XXVI. This road is impassable

Sitting on the roof of the inn, watching the children frolicking, Feng Mu's sorrow and farewell were soothed. In this world, everyone has their own place and their own reason for existence. Destiny is not like the wind, blowing around, fate is the earth, wherever you go, you are in the center of destiny. There are countless directions on the earth, and it is up to you to decide which one you may go in the end.

In any case, don't you have companions by your side now? Don't you still have a goal worth striving for? The world is impermanent, so why bother yourself.

As the night deepened, Lingchuan Mansion slowly calmed down, and Feng Mu and Huangfu Changjun went back to their rooms.

The four of them agreed to sleep in, so when they set off the next day, the sun had already risen. One of the two hired carriages had been retired yesterday, and now the four of them were crammed into the same carriage, sitting facing each other, talking and laughing.

Out of Lingchuan Mansion will be the Demon Disc Town, through the Demon Disc Town, you will reach the boundary of the same state.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, and the coachman took control of the carriage and jolted forward, and when he first arrived in the town of Saucer, the carriage stopped. It's not surprising to stop on the way, but this time it's a bit long.

Just as he was about to ask the reason, the driver opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "The road ahead is blocked, and I can't cross it." ”

Feng Mu asked, "Why, what happened?"

The coachman said helplessly: "There is a collapse in a place, blocking the official road, and the carriage will definitely not be able to pass." See for yourself, how many cars are going back?"

Jing Lang didn't believe it, he looked out: "Where is the landslide? Why didn't I see the landslide?"

The coachman looked innocent: "Oh, how could I leave my business and not do it." The front is really collapsing, and the car still has to turn around when it goes over, I don't want to run the wrong way. If you don't believe it, go down and see for yourself. ”

Hmph, Jing Lang lifted his fat ass and got out of the car with a move.

Feng Mu lifted the curtain: "These cars going back are all empty. It means that the guests in the car have gone down, that is, in addition to the official road, there are other roads in front of you to go to Tongzhou. ”

The coachman replied, "Yes." The first is the waterway, which goes down the river to the same state. Then there is the mountain road, which is narrow and rugged, and you have to go around it a long way. ”

"It must be by water. Jing Xiangyao blurted out.

The coachman said, "The waterway is really easy to walk. It's just that the waterway from Tongzhou to the Demon Disc is controlled by the Red Lian Sect, and the official road from the Demon Disc to the same state is not the first time it has collapsed. ”

Feng Mu could hear that there was something in the coachman's words. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "As far as you know, has there ever been such a thing as killing people and stealing goods on the waterway?"

The coachman scratched his head: "That's not true, if there were, the Red Lian Sect would have been rewarded a long time ago." ”

Feng Mu shrugged: "It seems that this Red Lian Sect is also a small fight, but it's just a matter of grabbing some business." Okay, let's follow him and take the waterway. ”

Jing Xiangyao nodded in agreement, but Huangfu Changjun was indifferent, in short, that's it. At this time, Jing Lang ran over in a hurry, panting like a cow and said, "Damn, the front is really collapsing." What to do?"

Feng Mu smiled: "Look at you're in a hurry." The three of us have already discussed and will take the waterway. ”

The docks in Saucer Town were not far from here, and the carriage made a detour for a while, and soon reached the docks. There were many large and small boats moored on the dock, but the person who planned to take the boat was even more black. The queue for boarding forms two long queues, from the pier to the place where you get off the bus.

However, there are also people who go back. Feng Mu asked them why they didn't take the boat again, and they said that it was too expensive, and it didn't matter if they went to Tongzhou anyway, so they simply went back. Feng Mu asked how much it was too expensive, and they stretched out two fingers and went to Tongzhou from here, asking for twenty gigabels per person.

This price is more than twice as expensive as taking the official road. Jing Lang looked back at the coachman, who spread his hand, indicating that there was nothing he could do. It's expensive, this waterway should be more comfortable than taking the land route, the four of them discussed. So I settled the bill with the coachman and went to the end of the boarding line.

"Thank you! Feng Mu waved his hand.

"You're welcome, be careful on the road, the exam went well. The coachman waved goodbye, and went on to solicit other business.

The peasant woman in front of the queue looked at the four of them and muttered: "It turns out that there is an exam in the same state, I said this official way, why don't it collapse sooner or later, but I chose such a time." Hey, it's all a good thing that Chilian has done. If it weren't for my brother and sister who happened to give birth to a nephew, I wouldn't have joined in the fun. ”

Jing Xiangyao blinked: "That's not necessarily, the official road may also collapse by itself." ”

The peasant woman shook her head, sniffed, and turned back to line up for herself.

There are many boats on the river, and there are always two of them standing side by side at the pier. The passengers got on board very quickly, and the two were full of passengers, and the other two were immediately replaced. As a result, the long queue moves relatively fast. It didn't take long for the four of them to almost reach the middle of the line, and behind them, they were all black-pressed heads.

The sun is a little spicy, and it makes people's eyes hurt. Fortunately, the wind blew on the river, adding a bit of coolness. This river is called Tongcheng River, stretches for thousands of miles, starts from the Yangguo, passes through Changning, and then enters the sea from Dongchuan country, and flows through half of the scorched earth continent. Running through Lingchuan Province is a tributary of the Tongcheng River. When you get here, it is the upper reaches of the Tongcheng River, and this river is much wider than Lingchuan Mansion.

As the procession continued on, the voices of the boatmen and the passengers on board could already be heard. The boatman's offer was 20 gibelongs per person, as mentioned earlier, but if the traveller hesitated, complained, or bargained, the boatman would stop drinking, and if the traveller was any more slow, the boatman would drive him away, and then beckoned the person behind him to move forward.

With that in mind, it's no wonder that the team is moving at a pretty good pace.

At the front of the line, Feng Mu took out eighty gigabeits and paid the boatman: "Tongzhou, four people." ”

The boatman is muscular and dark-skinned. He counted the number of people, then took the money, urging in his mouth: "Hurry, hurry!"

Suddenly, the boatman cried out, "No, add twenty gigabels." ”

Feng Mu stopped, confused: "Ah, four people, didn't they give you eighty gigabeels?

The boatman pointed to the box on his shoulder, and he went into the cabin, put it down, and said fiercely: "This box is so heavy, heavier than a man, do you think who else carries such heavy luggage? Quick, go down without adding money. ”

Jing Lang took two steps forward and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Feng Mu. Feng Mu took out another twenty gigaberies: "Come, here you go." ”

"Why are you so generous. Jing Lang was so anxious that he snorted: "Damn, I knew that I would have carried the box on the boat by myself." ”
