Now Fang Li doesn't have the ability to fly, although his agility is very high, but because he hasn't learned any light body method at all, Fang Li still can't do things like crossing the river with a reed. So in the face of this vast lake, Fang Li still had to honestly look for the boatman.

Of course, in fact, it is not a search, Fang Li walked all the way on the official road, that is, the direction of the village in the middle of the lake and the outside, so there is a small wharf on the lake not far from the official road.

There was no towering lifting equipment in later generations, just a row of small logs tied up to look like a dock, and a small wooden boat docked next to it, in Fang Li's powerful vision, he clearly saw a wisp of smoke floating up from the boat.

"Boatman!"

Fang Li came to the dock and shouted softly. Suddenly, a thin old man slowly stretched his head out of the cabin, looking at the cigarette pouch and pot that had not yet been smoked in his hand, Fang Li chuckled lightly, and stepped forward to explain his intentions.

"Oh, you're going to Huxin Village! Not today, it's already dark, and it will take half a day for my boat to go, if you're not in a hurry, wait here for the night, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning?"

Looking at the old man who was smoking and talking at the same time, Fang Li didn't see the boatman nearby, and the sun was already setting in the west, so he didn't care, but it was not good to force this old boatman to sail at night, and Fang Li should come down immediately.

After hearing Fang Li's agreement, the boatman was also very enthusiastic to invite Fang Li to sit on the boat, Fang Li naturally had no intention of refusing, and gently jumped on the stake and jumped directly onto the boat, although he jumped very high, when he landed on the boat, he didn't let the small boat that could only take two or three people shake a little.

"The young man is very powerful!" The well-informed old man saw Fang Li's hand and immediately knew that although the person in front of him was surprisingly young, his strength was definitely very good.

Fang Li smiled lightly, and then bent down into the small cabin, the old man seemed to be a little bored to stay here alone, Fang Li was obviously very happy to be with him, he immediately took out a pot of turbid wine and poured a glass for Fang Li, and then took out a packet of canvas-wrapped peanuts from under the table, poured a plate, and then chatted with Fang Li while smoking.

At first, the old man seemed to be a little unnatural, but after chatting for a while, he found that Fang Li didn't have that kind of martial artist at all, and immediately the conversation box opened, and he began to chat with Fang Li about his past.

The old man has been dependent on the water all his life, loving and hating each other, in the turbulent rivers, in the sea with high winds and waves, he has been a sailor who has been a paddler, and he has also been a captain of the sea, and the sea has almost taken its life countless times, and has also given him rich feedback.

After a sound of wandering, when he was old, the old man said goodbye to the sea with his reluctance, and came to this Guangze Lake, to be a very ordinary boatman in this calm world.

Although for the martial artists who turn the clouds and rain, these are trivial things at all, but for ordinary people, this life is already wonderful. At least when the old man talked about his life back then, he didn't sigh at all, and when he said that he had fought against the wind and waves and fought hard with pirates, the old man's face exuded a youthful glow, and the whole person seemed to be younger.

The sun, which was already setting in the west, soon set above the horizon as the two of them talked about wine. During dinner, Fang Li did not let the old man take out his dry food, but temporarily left the boat and came to the land, but in a quarter of an hour, Fang Li had two more fat and tender hares in his hands. And when Fang Li returned to the boat, he proudly planned to surprise the old man, but he was surprised to find that the old man was sitting firmly on the dock, and there was a smooth bamboo pole in his hand at some point.

After a pause, Fang Li suddenly understood, the old man was also looking for dinner, originally Fang Li also wanted to make a joke with the old man, although Fang Li was not very good at fishing, but the basic common sense was still there, fishing was a very time-consuming thing, not to put down the hook to have a harvest.

But when Fang Li came to the old man's side with the rabbit, he couldn't laugh anymore, because the old man's wicker basket had already placed three fat fish more than a foot long.

"How's that for us, boy!

Listening to the old man's hearty laughter, Fang Li smiled bitterly and turned around and began to look for firewood, preparing to have a good meal of game in the evening.

When Fang Li prepared the firewood, he only heard a loud laugh coming from the lake, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and happened to see the old man swing the fishing rod violently, and a huge carp was suddenly pulled out of the water by the crystal fishing line.

"Just right!"

The old man looked at his fish basket, and with a good look, he came to the side of the pile of firewood. Fang Li naturally didn't dare to let the old man do it, as soon as the summoning skill moved, a delicate knife appeared in his hand, and the two rabbits and four fat fish on the side were directly processed and then set up.

The fireball skill flashed, and the pile of firewood suddenly burst into flames. Looking at the scene where everything was ready, Fang Li smiled proudly.

"It's really easy to use, not to mention that your cultivation is not useless, at least it's a lot easier to make a fire, haha!"

When the old man saw that the fire had been lit, he immediately drove Fang Li aside and began to cook the sumptuous dinner himself.

"Where is the use of cultivation only so simple?" After Fang Li heard the old man's words, he said helplessly in his heart, but in an instant, he seemed to feel that something was missing.

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Li suddenly found that if these trivial things were removed, then all that was left would be blood, and there seemed to be no more righteous things, and the powerful strength would bring either endless killing or endless hatred.

When he thought of this, Fang Li was suddenly silent.

And the old man on the side didn't seem to notice it at all, looked at the golden dripping hare, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then immediately took it off the shelf, handed it to Fang Li, and politely picked up his own one and started eating.

It wasn't until the hare that was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside fell into his hands that Fang Li suddenly reacted, smiled slightly, and then buried his head in eating it.

"Okay! The heat is just right!" After eating two bites, he suddenly felt that he was in an extremely good mood, and the old man pulled his sleeve and wiped the greasy on his mouth violently, and sighed, but his hand touched it twice, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't touch it, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "If only there was wine!"

Only then did the old man remember that the two of them had already drunk all the wine he had brought before, and he suddenly felt as if something was missing.

After hearing the old man's emotion, the light in Fang Li's hand flashed, and a small wine jar suddenly appeared, and with a light pat, the mud seal on the wine jar flew up, and the mellow aroma of wine spread in all directions.

"Good wine!" The old man hadn't noticed the movement in Fang Li's hand at first, and only reacted instantly when he knew that the aroma of wine was wafting into his nose.

Hahahaha......

......

The next day, when it was bright, the old man woke up early, and rowed towards the island in the middle of the lake with Fang Li and the two of them in a boat, and after walking for a while, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly asked Fang Li.

"Young man, yesterday you said you were a mercenary? Did you come to Huxin Village to pick up a mission?"

"Hmm"

The wine that Fang Li took out yesterday was a good wine that Hua Lingshi bought, and it just so happened that the two of them were rarely happy, and they had no scruples at all. Fang Li was okay, after the old man fell, he came to his senses, but the old man there fell directly on the grass, and after Fang Li carried the old man to the cabin, he muttered, "Drink like this, can you wake up tomorrow, drunk driving will have your license revoked!"

"Young man, I also know a little bit about Huxin Village!" the old man hesitated after confirming that Fang Li was going to Huxin Village.

Fang Li was overjoyed after hearing the old man's words, after all, the mission brief was a one-sided statement, and it would be great if the old man knew.
