Chapter 96 Ferry Boat

There were several corpses lying on the streets of the town, and the crowd of onlookers stood far away and did not dare to approach, and one of the coachmen in the crowd turned around and ran, jumped into a luxury carriage parked next to the restaurant, and galloped away from the town.

In order not to involve the Jia brothers and sisters, Wei Yang and his party did not greet the brothers and sisters, and they boarded the carriage and quickly left the town with Uncle Sun's carriage.

Senior Jiao rode a fast horse and a carriage side by side.

"Senior Jiao, how did you end up here?" Wei Yang, who was sitting in the carriage, asked.

Lao Jiao said: "I took a look at the route back, I can travel more than 200 miles with you, I am a little worried about you, so I hurriedly jogged behind you."

"Thank you so much." Wei Yang said sincerely: "You are well-informed, you know what kind of background this He family is, and how it is so awesome."

Lao Jiao pondered for a moment and said: "There is a big river that runs through the north and south of this Xiancang Continent called Yuqian River, Yuqian River originates from the southernmost Yuqian Mountain, flows through more than 100 cities, and reaches the territory of the demon and beast clans.

"No wonder those guys are empty-eyed and arrogant." Wei Yang said with emotion.

Lao Jiao said, "The cultivation academy you go to has to cross this river to reach it, so you have to be careful when the time comes."

At a fork in the road, the two carriages stopped in a flat place, and Senior Jiao was about to part ways with Wei Yang and his party here, and everyone came down to say goodbye to Senior Jiao and take a short rest.

Senior Jiao didn't say much, only said: "There is still a long way ahead, you have to be extra careful."

He said to Wei Yang, "I'll wait for you."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone, whipped his horse, and galloped towards the mountain road.

"Uncle Sun, where are you going?" Wei Yang asked the middle-aged couple.

Uncle Sun smiled and said, "I just heard that you are going to the cultivation academy, then we are on the same path, and we are sending Xiao Zhuang to practice."

"Alright, let's be company." Wei Yang said.

Uncle Sun sighed and said: "Alas, in this world where martial arts are respected, it is really difficult to move forward without a little cultivation strength, in our Sun family, it is because I am the worst in strength, so I am ostracized everywhere in the family, I can only send all my assets to send Xiao Zhuang to practice, hoping that he can change my status in the family in the future."

Uncle Sun glanced at his son Xiaozhuang lovingly, and said with some frustration: "My son is naturally dull, not cultivation material, compared to the children of the same age as him in the family, we parents can only do our best."

Wei Yang comforted: "Uncle Sun, diligence can make up for clumsiness, maybe there is an opportunity, it is not impossible for Xiao Zhuang to become a master, you can rest assured."

"How many of you are going to study at the cultivation academy?" Uncle Sun asked.

Wei Yang pointed at Xiao Zi and said, "I'm just a companion, and only my sister is studying in the academy alone."

Xiao Zhuang's mother said happily: "Then we Xiao Zhuang have friends, I won't tell you, Xiao Zhuang is a man of nature, and he doesn't speak much, please take care of him."

"Look at what you said, just because Uncle Sun reached out to help us without hesitation when we were in danger, I would treat Xiaozhuang as a brother." Wei Yang said with an oath.

"Then we'll be relieved."

Uncle Sun and his wife said with relief, and seeing that their chubby son Xiao Zhuang had already been with Xiao Qian, Xiao Zi and Xiao Xiong together, and they were happily playing, they smiled happily, this was really a result they couldn't have imagined.

After resting, the two carriages continued on their way, and after two days of walking along the rugged mountain road, they came to a large river, where the waves were surging and the mist in the river was so hazy that the opposite bank could not be seen at a glance.

This is the largest river in the Xiancang Continent, the River before the rain.

Wei Yang knew that after crossing the river, he would walk more than a hundred miles to reach the cultivation school, and the two carriages walked slowly towards the ferry terminal.

Wei Yang and a few sisters had only seen small rivers and streams, but they had never seen such a rushing and turbulent river emptied by turbid waves, and they were shocked one by one.

The steamship dock was bustling with traffic, with a long queue of passengers and wagons at the ferry, and a huge steamer moored on the riverbank.

When the two carriages of Wei Yang and his party just drove into the ferry, in front of the ticket office of the ferry, a person said something to a few big men next to him and pointed at the two carriages of Wei Yang and his party, this person was the coachman of the He family who was hurriedly driving the carriage from the town, and he specially rushed over to report the news.

Wei Yang and his party never thought of this, they were completely exposed under the noses of the He family.

Wei Yang glanced at the carriages and passengers in the queue, most of them were sent by some families to report to the cultivation school, and every time this time was the peak season for ferries, it was often difficult to find a ticket.

Wei Yang came to the ticket office, and the woman who sold the ticket told him: "I'm sorry, today's tickets have been sold out, and we won't be able to cross the river until the morning after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow, that's a little too long.

The woman explained: "The boat that departs today will arrive at the other side in the evening, and will return tomorrow morning with passengers, so you can only start again the day after tomorrow, but if you want to cross the river today, there is a small boat ferry, which is a little more expensive."

Money is not a problem for Wei Yang, before leaving, Sister Xiao Yi gave him a thousand taels of silver tickets, and Aunt Lin also stuffed a stack of silver tickets in his bag, which was enough for his group to spend.

"Okay, I'll take the boat." Wei Yang decided.

A young man came out of the ticket room and said to Wei Yang, "Drive your carriage to the river."

He pointed to a small boat on the side of the huge steamer and said, "I'll be waiting for you there."

The boat was not big, but it looked like a new boat, and two carriages had just stopped on the board, and Wei Yang and his family boarded the boat.

The driver who reported the news saw Wei Yang's group get on the boat, and laughed darkly with a few people around him, and the group also got on the boat.

Seven or eight boatmen were ready, and the boat whistled and headed for the middle of the river.

Wei Yang crouched on the railing and watched the turbulent water, flocks of ospreys chasing and flying behind the boat, eating small fish in the waves that rose behind the boat, which was not interesting, Wei Yang was surrounded by Bai Zhi, Xiao Zi and Xiao Qian, and the three beautiful girls surrounded Wei Yang in the middle like the moon.

Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Xiong were having fun on the deck, Uncle Sun and his wife looked at their happy son with satisfaction, and the two coachmen sat quietly on the deck drinking tea.

The three men in the cockpit looked at the scene on the deck, and one man said with emotion: "What a warm and touching scene, but this is their last scenery, who told them to provoke the people of the He family?"

"Yes, it's just a pity that there are three little beauties like flowers and jade, fuck, why doesn't Lao Tzu have such a beautiful fortune." The other man said in a daze.

"These guys are also unlucky, they only killed a few marginal people who are related to the He family, if no one reports it, the He family will not take care of this matter, and now someone has testified, of course the He family will not allow anyone to dare to disobey the He family, and they will definitely come to kill one to make an example."

A man said regretfully.

"Don't think about it, the boat is about to reach the middle of the river, do things neatly, and after receiving the reward, we will go to invite the moon to be happy."

It was the small leaders of these people who spoke.

When the boat reached the middle of the river, the wind and waves were noticeably stronger, and the boat began to shake violently, and the fog in the middle of the river covered the boat, making it seem to float in the clouds, and the river began to rush to the deck.

The people on the deck began to panic a little, Wei Yang comforted everyone and protected the three younger sisters by his side, Bai Zhi turned into a leaf, Xiao Qian turned into a squirrel-sized body and jumped into Wei Yang's pocket, and Wei Yang hugged Xiao Zi tightly in his arms.

At this moment, a boatman went up to the deck and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, come down to the cabin with me, and follow quickly."

Wei Yang hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow the boatman and quickly walked down the cabin.

Walking through the winding staircase, Wei Yang felt the bottom of the ship, and the boatman opened the two tight iron doors to let everyone in, and he confidently said to everyone: "This place is the safest, you stay here for a while, and then you come out when the wind and waves are calm."

The boatman turned and closed the two iron gates.

The space in this small room was small, and as soon as the iron door was closed, the room was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and Wei Yang felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, water began to flow in from the top of the room, and the wall of the boat outside the room rattled, and after a while a crack appeared in the wall of the boat, and a large amount of river water poured in, and the crack became louder and louder with the sound of Kaka, and the incoming river water poured straight into it, and if it went on like this, when the crack was all opened, all the people in the room would rush into the bottom of the river to feed the fish.

It turned out that this was a mechanism on the ship, which could effortlessly remove some of the top rich people who took the boat, and plunder the carloads of gold, silver and jewelry they carried.

The wheelhouse of the boat was full of seven or eight boatmen on board, and the man in charge said to the driver who had told the news: "You didn't listen to the messenger, you had to go to the branch on the other side of the bank to get the reward, as if you had gone slow and the reward had run away, and now I'm sorry, the secrets of our ship are not allowed to be known to outsiders."

The three boatmen pressed towards the coachman.
