Bai Yutian jumped on the grass and trees, running all the way, birds and beasts were frightened, bees and butterflies danced, and the cool breeze gusted.

Zhang Yan'er leaned on Bai Yutian's chest, listening to Bai Yutian's heartbeat, her heart was full of joy, and from time to time she gave herself one or two hallucinations, and just wrapped her right arm around Bai Yutian's neck, and a beautiful scenery hit her.

White clouds, flowing water, twilight, Jingyin Daoist stood on the west bank of Luxi, looking at the lights slowly lit up on the east bank, his eyes shining.

Bai Yutian jumped to the side of the Dao Chief, stopped, and Zhang Yan'er reluctantly let go of Bai Yutian's neck and got off the ground.

The Pure Hidden Dao Leader quickly wiped the two drops of water from the corners of his eyes and asked softly, "Cross the river, or stay here?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "A cup of wine on the west bank, a meal on the east bank, which one do you choose?" ”

The twilight is heavy, the river breeze is cool, the lights are still there, the old man has passed away, and the river is like tears. The Pure Hidden Dao Chief took a deep breath and said abruptly, "But the river!" ”

Bai Yutian looked around half a circle along the riverbank, saw the bright lights not far away, and asked, "Dao Chief, is there an inn over there?" ”

Jingyin Dao Chang looked at it and replied: "That Luxi Inn is good at everything, but it is more expensive, is the silver you brought enough?" ”

Zhang Yan'er smiled and said: "As long as the Tao is comfortable, it doesn't hurt to be more expensive." ”

Bai Yutian smiled slightly and said, "I'll visit the Longwei Dart Bureau tomorrow, I'm not afraid that there will be no place to eat and live." ”

"Okay, eat a good meal, drink a good pot of wine, and get a good night's sleep."

Jingyin Dao Chang took a step and walked towards the bright lights in front of him, followed by Bai Yutian and Zhang Yan'er.

After a cup of tea, the three of them came to the front of the Deer Creek Inn.

The shopkeeper had just sent off a guest, and when he saw the Jingyin Daoist coming, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "Dao Chief, why are you here!" Hurry inside, please! ”

Zhang Yan'er saw that the shopkeeper turned around and walked towards the store, but she didn't see her existence, and used her nose to "hum" and "hum" twice.

The shopkeeper reacted, turned around, and smiled: "Girl, do you want to sharpen up, or do you want to live in the hotel?" ”

Zhang Yan'er looked up with her eyes, curled her small mouth, and said slowly: "What about sharpening?" What about staying in a hotel? What about staying in a sharp hotel? ”

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Both the tip and the store, naturally there is a discount on the meal." ”

Zhang Yan'er put her hand behind her back, her body shook up and down, and she said angrily: "Since this is the case, let's go to the store together." ”

The Pure Hidden Daoist said, "Is there still a first-class room?" ”

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Seeing the enthusiasm on the face of the shopkeeper, the head of Jingyin Dao smiled and said, "Then let's have two rooms." ”

Zhang Yan'er said: "Dao Chief, why don't you come to the three rooms, Brother Bai likes to be quiet." ”

When the shopkeeper heard the word "white", he immediately stopped and looked at Bai Yutian.

Bai Yutian saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were wrong, and asked puzzledly: "Little second brother, is there anything wrong?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "You are from the west, what is your name Bai Yutian?" ”

Bai Yutian was very surprised, he hadn't reported his home yet, how did he know? was about to speak, but the conversation was picked up by Zhang Yan'er.

"What, Bai Yutian is not your relative?" Zhang Yan'er saw that the words of the shopkeeper were not very friendly, and she was very angry.

The shopkeeper ignored Zhang Yan'er, and said to the head of the Jingyin Dao: "Dao chief, the store said that the guests who have come to the store in the past few days cannot have the surname Bai, let alone the name Bai Yutian." ”

Bai Yutian asked softly, "Little Second Brother, has Bai Yutian offended your store?" ”

The shopkeeper said gently: "Childe, I'm really sorry, I can't answer your question." You'd better go. ”

When Zhang Yan'er heard this, she became angry and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable, ask your store to come out, if you can't say that you are ugly, I will burn this store to see how arrogant he is." ”

"Girl, it's up to you whether to set fire to the shop or not, and it's up to me to stay or not, you are at will." Shopkeeper smiled faintly, and continued: "But I still want to tell you that this Quzhou Mansion is the Holy Land of Southern Confucius, a place where the king's law is preached and edified, not a place where three religions and nine streams are rampant at will. ”

Zhang Yan'er has never seen this kind of thing, and she is still turned away from taking care of other people's business. hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, just to let the shopkeeper see what the real children of the rivers and lakes are: if they don't agree with each other, they will start fighting, and they will never be angry.

"Let's go, you give money to others, everyone is dirty, why bother with a hot face and a cold ass, and find yourself boring."

Who is the head of the Jingyin Dao, who can Zhang Yan'er come to Hulai, pull it away, and look for it towards the ferry, Bai Yutian followed closely.

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of the three of them and said loudly: "Dao Chief, I'm really sorry, we can't help it." It's not good for you to offend anyone, but you offended the people of the Longwei Dart Bureau. ”

Bai Yutian heard this, and his heart felt a lot better, and he finally knew the reason for being turned away.

The head of the Jingyin Dao came to the ferry and stopped, and whispered: "Boy, if you can't cross the river, I don't think it matters, the inns here don't dare to take you in, let alone the inns over there." ”

Zhang Yan'er asked, "Dao Chief, can the Longwei Dart Bureau cover the sky with one hand here?" ”

Bai Yutian smiled bitterly: "One side is strong and deep-rooted, and the locals will more or less give them a little thin noodles, which is more than enough to deal with a newcomer from outside." ”

Zhang Yan'er heard it, and the more she looked at the night, the more uncomfortable she became, and whispered: "Big Brother Bai, do you really want to stay in the mountains?" ”

Bai Yutian saw that Zhang Yan'er was afraid of boarding in the mountains, so he wanted to scare her, and said with a smile: "Heaven is a quilt, the earth is a bed, and the moon is a companion, how beautiful!" It is cool, it is pure, and it saves money. ”

Zhang Yan'er grabbed Bai Yutian's sleeve and said softly, "Brother Bai, it's not good." Boarding in the mountains, in the company of birds, beasts, poisonous insects, I will have nightmares. ”

Bai Yutian complained: "But what can others do if they are not allowed to enter the house and do not sleep in the mountains?" ”

Zhang Yan'er shouted angrily: "Doesn't the prefect live in the city, let's sue him for the Longwei Dart Bureau." ”

When the Jingyin Dao Chief heard this, he said happily: "This is a good idea. The prefect of the Mansion, Lord He, has asked the Longwei Dart Bureau to escort a few trips to pay tribute, not to mention hospitality, but also full of righteousness, is a good official. I went to his house for one night. ”

Zhang Yan'er saw that she could spend the night, and she didn't have to be in the company of birds, beasts, and poisonous insects in the mountains, so she was naturally happy, and walked towards the ferry with Bai Yutian in Jingyin Dao.

When the three of them came to the river, they saw several ferries, but there were no ferrymen. Glancing around, he saw a light not far away, as if it was coming from the house, so he looked for the light.

When they came to a low house made of wooden planks and wooden strips, a couple in their sixties were sitting in it eating dinner, and Bai Yutian approached and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, can you carry me across the river?" ”

The old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up, looked at Bai Yutian, and replied: "Childe, my boat is not big, and the river is turbulent, or you can cross the river again tomorrow morning." ”

Bai Yutian arched his hand and said: "Uncle, how much does it cost to cross people in the daytime, and I will give you double the price, okay?" ”

When the woman saw this, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up, and said gently: "Childe, don't think too much, his father has been living on ferries for generations, and he is always cautious and cautious, just to seek peace, not a matter of money." ”

Bai Yutian heard the old woman's words, and felt a little difficult in his heart, and said warmly: "Uncle, it seems that the inn here does not welcome me to stay in the store, in order not to stay overnight in the mountains, I want to try my luck on the other side, and I am not in a hurry to cross the river." ”

When the old man heard this, he was a little incredulous, and asked softly: "Isn't the son offending someone who shouldn't be offended?" ”

Bai Yutian saw that the old man's face had changed, and remembered the matter of the Luxi Inn, and replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from the old man, I was entrusted by President Jiang to go to the Longwei Dart Bureau to help." But I don't know why, but those people in the Longwei Dart Bureau regarded me as an enemy, and spread the word everywhere in advance, so that the inn was unwilling to stay with me. ”

After hearing this, the old woman felt that Bai Yutian's words were false, and said, "It shouldn't be! Mr. Jiang's dart head of Longwei Dart Bureau is well-known in Quzhou, he is dedicated to doing good, never nonsense, and he is a good old man, and this kind of thing cannot happen. ”

Zhang Yan'er came close and answered: "Uncle Jiang has been assassinated and passed away. ”

The old man glanced at Zhang Yan'er and said sharply: "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about." Master Jiang is such a good person, how could someone assassinate him!. ”

Jingyin Dao Chang approached and said warmly: "Brother, people can't be resurrected after death, he Jiang Daogong is really an immortal." ”

The old woman walked out of the wooden shed, saw the Taoist, and said, "Taoist, are you with them?" ”

Jingyin Dao Chang replied: "Jiang Daogong left a will before he died, so that the child in front of him would succeed to the position of the head of the dart. I saw that this kid was single and weak, so I accompanied him to see if I could mix personal feelings, but Jiang Daogong's last wish. ”

The old man had seen the Jingyin Daoist before, and his words were credible, and he came out of the wooden shed, and he said: "Dao Chief, you outsiders, don't fool me." ”

Jingyin Dao Chang replied: "Brother, look at what you said, there are gods three feet above your head, and you are not afraid of others and yourself. I'm just a person, I don't seek fame or profit, I only ask for a bowl of rice every day, so I can deceive you. ”

When the old woman heard this, she whispered to the old man, "Then you can cross the river with them." ”

The old man pulled the woman aside and whispered, "If this is done, once the dart head is checked, and we know that we have crossed the river, there will be no one to cross." ”

The old woman whispered: "He deceived us first, and we broke the appointment later, which is not a violation of morality." Besides, it was for the sake of Mr. Jiang's face, not for his sake, so why should he act on their faces. Even if they are bullied and run out in the future, isn't there still an official government? ”

The old man felt that there was some reason, plucked up his courage, approached, and said to the Jingyin Dao Chief: "Dao Chief, then you can get on the boat." ”

Bai Yutian bowed slightly and thanked: "Thank you, uncle!" Thank you, Auntie! ”

The old woman lit a large lantern from the wooden shed, handed it to her husband, and said, "Let's go." ”

The old man carried the lantern and walked towards the boat not far away, and Bai Yutian said goodbye to the old woman and followed closely.

The four of them came to the ferry, and the old man waited for the three to get on the boat, sat down, untied the ropes on the shore, got on the boat, hung up the lanterns, propped up the penny, and went to the other side.

The river is windy, the river is turbulent, and the boats are swaying from side to side, which is extremely thrilling.

Zhang Yan'er was frightened, threw herself into Bai Yutian's arms, and hugged Bai Yutian tightly.

Bai Yutian wanted to help Zhang Yan'er out of his arms, but when he saw that the night was dark and the boat was shaking badly, he also followed Zhang Yan'er's wishes.

Facing the wind and waves, it is very difficult for the old man to row the boat to the opposite bank, go to the shore, and insert the penny in his hand into the bottom of the river.

The three of them got off the boat, and Bai Yutian took out a tael of silver and handed it to the old man.

The old man blocked the silver back and said, "Childe, I risked crossing the river with you, not for this bit of silver. ”

Bai Yutian put away the silver, bowed to the old man gently, and said, "Thank you, uncle!." ”

The old man pulled out the penny, went to the end, and the boat was offshore, slowly rowing towards the opposite bank.
