In 489 B.C., in the second year of Gou Jian's imprisonment of Wu and his return to Vietnam, the rice was sharply reduced, and the people barely survived.

Wu Dazai Bo Yao accepted a bribe from Ji Ni and explained the benefits of borrowing grain from Yue in front of his husband, and the king of Wu agreed to borrow 10,000 stone of grain from Yue and return to Yue by land and water.

Wen 5,000 stone returned to Vietnam by land, Ji Ni 5,000 stone went down the "Puyang River", distributed rice and grain at each ferry along the way, and finally finished distributing it to Zhuji County, and then rushed to the capital Huiji by official ship.

Soon after the boat sailed, I happened to see a lonely young man about fifteen or sixteen years old on the shore, dressed in strange clothes and hairstyles, wrapped in strange backs, and with an extraordinary bearing, stopping to watch the official ship.

Ji Ni secretly wondered: Such a strange and extraordinary young man, Man Wu Yue has never had it, and he has never seen it in his life, it is difficult for ordinary people to give birth to such a young man, but it is extremely difficult for a noble and rich son to be alone in the wilderness, is it difficult to ......

His heart moved, and he ordered the boatman to stop the boat, go out of the cabin and stand in the bow of the boat, and said loudly: "Why did the young man end up here? Do I need to take a boat? ”

The young man was slightly sluggish, then clasped his hands into fists, bowed, and replied: "Thank you, elders, the late life does have this intention, but there is a lot of disturbance, which makes the late life feel guilty." ”

Ji Ni smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay." Seeing the boy's dull gestures, he couldn't help but be stunned, but then ordered the guards to lower the pedal and let the boy board the boat.

This young man is Ye Mo.

Originally, Ye Mo has always scoffed at coincidences, thinking that it was just a storyteller's trickery, but after years of work and life, he found that coincidences really exist in this world.

Especially after the coincidental experience that happened in the crowded station on a business trip to the south, I felt that the probability of this coincidence was much lower than the probability of the lottery jackpot.

So he resolutely bought the lottery ticket.

So in the end, it was concluded that the probability of crossing this coincidence is much higher than the lottery jackpot.

Overtime is not common for Ye Mo, but because of the tight schedule and tasks in the near future, he has to work overtime, and it has to be free.

Promised my daughter a one-day trip for the whole family on Sunday, I missed the appointment twice, this time the oath was full of promises, and this time the overtime was only two hours of work, so the work clothes and work backpack were not changed, so I opened the door of the workshop and walked out.

When I looked up, I realized that this was a strange world.

Looking back, the doorknob that has not yet had time to let go of the hand, not to mention the doorknob, even the security door has disappeared.

A man standing in the wilderness confirms the saying, when you come, you are fine, and you can't go back.

It's like suddenly appearing in a VR world, but everything is real.

The earth under your feet is real, the mountains and rivers in the distance are real, and the river in front of you is real.

The body is also real, but it seems that the work clothes on the body and the labor protection shoes on the feet are larger, and it seems that his body has shrunk in the process of crossing.

There is no surprise, no doubt, and no film and television props, only from the flowing river, I see my youth twenty years ago, and a very dilapidated and old wooden boat that is getting closer and closer.

Of course, there is also the old man Ge Yi who invited himself on board.

Ji Ni had a warm smile on his face, and quietly watched Ye Mo get on the boat, enter the cabin, and sit straight on a small number.

Not pretentious, not pretentious, just like walking into your own boat.

Ji Ni didn't care about his little faux pas, he still had that kind smile on his face, sat on the other small table, and didn't say anything, just quietly looked at this young man here and there, his eyes full of disappointment and frustration.

A long sigh came out of Ye Mo's mouth, deep remorse and heavy sadness could not be concealed no matter what, only a helpless sigh and a helpless acceptance of reality.

Ji Ni couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why is the young man so depressed and sad?" ”

When Ye Mo heard Ji Ni ask such words, he raised his head violently, his fists clenched, his eyes turned red, and a beast-like low roar came out of his throat: "Why? Why, you say? Originally, our family of three, wife, children, live our own lives, although not rich, but also worry-free, who can tell me, how did I get to such a ghost place, my children, my wife, my parents, because of my disappearance, how sad should be? ”

The roar gradually turned into a roar, and his fists waved uncontrollably, completely ignoring the old guard's hand holding the handle of the knife, "I was originally from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but I was tired of memorizing medical books when I was a child, and despite the opposition of my family, I just learned what to build a ship, even if I didn't do any surveyors to work overtime, I would inexplicably come to this poor place where I wanted nothing?" ”

Ji Ni waved his hand and let the guard who was about to draw out a knife and kill Ye Mo to go out, frowning, his face full of doubts, and he couldn't hear what was spewing out of his mouth, even if he could hear it faintly, he didn't know what it meant, and couldn't help but ask in a series of succession: "What surveyor?" You are still a minor at a young age, how can you have children? A family of Chinese medicine? What is Traditional Chinese Medicine? Are you a healer......

Ye Mo calmed down, wiped away the tears on his face, got up and gave Ji Ni a deep salute, and explained: "Seniors, please forgive the impulse of the late life, when the teacher was alive, he once told the late life that studying medicine in the future can solve the pain of the world's diseases, but the late life can't bear the pain of memorizing medical books day and night, so he practiced the art of building boats and boats, which made the teacher disliked, some time ago, the teacher also wanted to marry a good girl for the late life in the coming year, and when he had it, he didn't have to follow the teacher to travel all over the world, and he didn't think about ......it."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad again, my throat was a little choked, my eyes were red, and I said: "I never thought about a natural disaster a few days ago, and the entire division, including the teacher, has already ......."

Speaking of this, he choked up and couldn't speak, but what he wanted to say later was already clear to Ji Ni.

Ji Ni sighed and said: "Presumably, a heavy rain some time ago caused this misfortune to the noble master who lives deep in the mountains and forests, and the old man deeply sympathizes, but can the young man tell the old man where the master is?" And how did you end up here? ”

Ye Mo's mind spun quickly, thought about it, and said: "The late life master is vertical and horizontal Chinese, and only one late student survived, and he fell here. ”

Ji Ni's face was full of hesitation, and asked: "The old man has also traveled all over the world, how come he has never heard of a teacher like you?" What is Vertical and Horizontal? What is Chinese? ”

Ye Mo's mouth was bitter, he really responded to that sentence, when you tell a lie, you have to use a few or a dozen lies to explain.

However, if he told the elder that he had crossed over from the afterlife, would he be angry and let his subordinates hack him to death?

Sitting back on the small table, the gloomy expression on his face gradually faded, and a maturity and steadiness that did not match his young man appeared, and he replied: "Back to the elders' words, I don't know what I mean in my later life, but I heard the same senior brother talk about it, vertical and horizontal Chinese is an academic school, the content is mixed, and there are many types, but it is mainly engaged in the diplomatic activities of various countries, and there are: the longitudinal, the weak of the masses to attack the strong; The one who is crossed, the one thing is strong to attack the weak, and it is ......"

Ye Mo's eyes lowered, and he said secretly in his heart: I'm sorry, Guiguzi, let's borrow your name to deal with it first, who made you still underage, anyway, your old man has lived for more than three hundred years, and he is not bad for this name, you have such a long life, it is a miracle in itself, I believe that with this name, it is enough to pass on to future generations.

Ji Ni didn't speak, just smiled and looked at him, but this smile and yin eyes, no matter how you look at it, are like silver needles used when learning acupuncture with grandpa in her previous life, piercing her body uncomfortably.

Okay, Ye Mo got up again and bowed respectfully, and said: "The late life is honest, I don't dare to deceive the elders, the late life has been raised by the teacher since childhood, I don't know the background, the name is still given by the teacher." ”

Speaking of this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "It's the late birth that is rude first, in order to make up for the mistake, the late student can answer the elders' questions about the next skill once for free." ”

Ji Ni raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly: "Why is it not a superior problem, but an inferior problem?" ”

Ye Mo smiled bitterly, prepared to be scolded, bowed down and said, "Just because if you answer the top questions raised by the elders, I'm afraid the elders won't understand and won't understand, so it's better not to answer." ”

"Bold thief, rude to the extreme....." The horizontal knife in the guard's hand has been drawn for the most part.

Ji Ni is happy, he has lived most of his life, read countless people, and has never seen someone who dares to talk to him like this, if he is not really a son of a master, with a splendid mind, he is a person who is deceived and deceived, if this is the case, there will be no burden in his heart when he kills.

However, no matter how you look at it, you can't see that this half-sized man is just talking about it, and the mustard in his chest is that he is wearing clothes and the backpack on his back has never been seen.

Could it be that there really are such teachers in this world? In that case, why not give it a try?

Ji Ni smiled: "Okay, just follow your wishes, and ask you a question about your master." ”

"Late life listens to you."

"If the boat doesn't use oars, how can it be done on its own?"

Ye Mo was stunned, his face was full of surprise, and he still asked: "Are the elders sure to list such problems as inferior?" ”

Ji Ni felt that this question was also a bit unreasonable, how could there be a boat in this world that could sail without oars? I haven't heard of it for hundreds of years, it's just an imagination, if it really exists, wouldn't it become a god? Thinking of this, he unconsciously said: "Presumably, your master has never had such a method, it is the old man Meng Lang." ”

Ye Mo sighed and said: "This kind of problem is not a problem at all in the master's sect, if you dare to ask such a problem in the later life, you don't need a teacher, even the senior brothers in the same sect, you will be beaten to death in your later life." ”

When Ji Ni heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it ......?"

Ye Mo said: "Just sail on the boat rack. ”

"Sails? What is a sail? ”

"The sail is the ......" Ye Mo couldn't help but pause, and only then did he realize that he thought that the old man was joking with him, and he also cooperated with him to make a joke, but he really didn't know the sail.

When I was studying in the ship school, I studied the history of the development of ancient ships, and knew that the sail gradually rose from the land of Wuyue in the middle of the Warring States period, and it was not until the Qin and Han dynasties that it became more and more mature.

Thinking like this, I felt even more bitter in my heart, and a burst of sadness filled my chest.

"Young ......"

"Ah, the sail is a mast in the cabin, and a wide canvas, which catches the wind, and with the help of the wind, it can move the boat forward."

"Wonderful......" Ji Ni suddenly stood up, walked to the middle of the cabin in a few steps, and his hands swung back and forth, left and right, his face full of excitement, overflowing.
