"Why can't a big boat ferry people? What are the rules? ”

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu stood on the pier.

The old man said: "There are no rules, but somehow the water of the Tongtian River is turbulent this year."

Several small boats have capsized, but fortunately no one was killed, and the surrounding boats did not dare to go up the river! ”

"Then you can only take a big boat." Li Ping'an said.

"The price of a big ship is expensive." The old man took the cigarette pot in his mouth and said.

"There's no way around it." Li Ping'an sat down at the dock.

Not far away, there is a shed that sells some drinks.

There were many people around, Li Ping'an and Lao Niu came over and asked for two bowls of tea and a plate of pastries.

It's not exquisite, at most it can rattle and fill the stomach.

There is also a storyteller who is talking about the past of the previous dynasty, saying that there was such a county official in the previous dynasty.

Not long after he took office, in order to show his integrity, he posted a couplet at the door of the county office.

Shanglian: If you receive money at dusk, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

Downlink: Listen to the officials, male thieves and female prostitutes!

When the people saw it, they all thought he was a clean official, and they were very happy.

However, it didn't take long for the county magistrate to become corrupt.

In order not to contradict the couplet, anyone who gives bribes must openly accept bribes during the day.

And the parties should send it in person, and they are not allowed to handle it.

So there is no contradiction.

When the story was finished, there was a burst of laughter.

The storyteller told a few more interesting stories one after another, and then the big ship also came.

Li Ping'an left the tea money and put five more copper plates.

Just pay for the story.

"Get on board~~"

The boatman's loud voice rang out.

"Where is the ship going?" Li Ping'an asked.

"Go to Ningyuan County in the lower reaches of the Tongtian River."

"Is it past the Great Sui?"

"Walk hundreds of miles south from Ningyuan County to the mountains, and you can get out of the Great Sui."

The boatman said skillfully: "Twelve days' journey, three hundred yuan, the boat is in charge of food, and as for your cow, it must be calculated according to the money of two people." ”

Li Ping'an nodded, and pulled the old cow to take the lead in boarding the boat.

After more than half an hour, the people on board were all together.

Several boatmen shouted loudly, and the big ship slowly pulled out.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu sat in the stern of the boat, the breeze blew across the willow bank, the boat was sailing on the blue waves, and people were swimming in the painting.

It was getting late, and one person and one cow each carried a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

There was a chill on the river, but the bowl was full of heat.

"Oh, you still eat noodles on this cow? Don't you feed forage? ”

At this time, the boatman came over and asked in surprise.

Li Ping'an smiled: "It's used to eating these." ”

"Are you going to visit relatives or friends?"

"Wandering around, having no fixed place to live."

"That's how it should be for the people of the rivers and lakes."

Li Ping'an changed the topic, "I heard that the Tongtian River has been turbulent recently, and small boats dare not go up the river to cross people, but I look at the water on the river but it is very quiet. ”

The boatman arrived: "It's strange to say this, this Tongtianjiang has been calm for more than ten years, and it is very stable in both autumn and spring floods.

I don't know what's going on lately, the ships capsized one after another, but fortunately, no one died. ”

The boatman lowered his voice and leaned closer.

"Some people say they met a water monster."

"Oh~"

Li Ping'an listened with interest, "It's just that why does this water monster lift a small boat instead of a big one?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's ...... Not enough? The boatman guessed.

"Puff~"

"Overboard~Overboard~!!"

Screams rang out, and everyone walked to the deck.

"Hey, it's the boat."

"Oops, it's over!!"

"Three or five people, all overboard."

“..........”

The people on the big boat were terrified, and while sweating for those who fell into the water, they were glad that they didn't plan to be cheap and chose a safer big boat.

"Quick, get the boat over." The boatman shouted.

Most of the people who walk in this river know each other.

What's more, even if you don't know it, there is no reason why you can't be saved when you die.

"Swim this way!"

"Don't mess around, hey, hey....."

A shout and a scream, a mess.

Among those who fell into the water did not know how to water, and they were about to sink.

Suddenly, he was dragged towards the big ship by a force.

Hold the same position, face up, body down.

Soon, he was rescued by the people on the big ship.

There is no one less, and even a child who can't be watery was lucky to be saved.

The bags he carried with him were also sent to the side of the big boat by the strange current.

In this month, the river is not cold, and the boat family asked people to boil a big pot of ginger soup.

A bowl of ginger soup per person, and a change of clean clothes, there is nothing to do.

"God Jiang bless!!"

Li Ping'an stood in the crowd, opened his eyes and looked at the water, and smiled.

After getting on the boat, the boatman insisted on not charging money.

was saved by someone's life, and took someone's boat, where is there any reason not to pay.

The boat family asked people to cook more noodles, stew fish soup, and distribute them to everyone to drink and suppress the shock.

................

The evening breeze was gentle, and Li Ping'an came to the bow of the boat alone.

Fingers on the surface of the river, lightly drawing an arc.

After a while, a big herring came out of the river.

Only a large head was exposed, and the eyes as big as two glass balls were full of curiosity.

"Why did you deliberately overturn the passing ships?" Li Ping'an said in a deep voice.

The big herring fish obviously understood people's words, and screamed a few times with his mouth open, as if he was telling Li Ping'an what happened.

After a moment, Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

It turned out that this big herring was saved by the boatman's family many years ago.

Many years later, after this big herring had a little cultivation and opened up his spiritual wisdom, he wanted to repay this kindness.

It's just that the IQ is not high, and most of the time I still rely on instinct to do things.

The boatman pulled people to carry passengers, and it deliberately overturned some small boats on the Tongtian River, but did not take the lives of others.

They will carry the person and their luggage to the shore, or send them to the nearest big boat.

The news that such boats are often overturned spreads, and it is rare for small boats to pull people and passengers.

The boatman who drives a big boat, so business is very hot these days.

"You know how to repay your kindness, but you don't know how much cause and effect this way of repaying your kindness will bring to your benefactor, but fortunately you haven't hurt people's lives.

You've got a lot of wisdom, and you're not sure you'll be able to become a demon in the future.

But don't do anything like this again........"

The big herring spits out a bubble, and it doesn't think it's done wrong.

In his limited IQ, he does not know what is right and what is wrong.

Li Ping'an said again, the big herring blinked.

Li Ping'an continued, the big herring still blinking.

Li Ping'an was silent for a moment, and gave it a big-eared post with his backhand.

"Smack!!"

"Do you understand?"

Great herring: ............
