It seems that there is a drama......

Tie Niu and Qi Zehui on the side also glanced at each other, and they were no longer stunned at the moment, and led the horse to follow.

At this moment, Qi Zehui suddenly felt that someone had pulled him, and he turned his head angrily, but it was a simple-looking helper:

"What do you want to do?"

"Brother, I see that you don't look bad, I want to leave here to give you a piece of advice......" The helper glanced at the leprosy-headed man in front of him with some fear, and turned to Qi Zehui and whispered with a serious face: "Don't follow that leper!"

"What's the matter?" Qi Zehui raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Is it possible that with the skills of the master, can you still be harmed by such a drunkard?"

"Alas, no, no, no, it's just ......" The helper's face was flushed, and it took him a long time before he said a sentence: "...... Anyway, that leper is not a good person, you listen to me, don't get on his boat, I will wait here for two months!"

"This ......" Qi Zehui thought about it, and finally patted the helper's shoulder with a smile, said "Thank you", and then said: "I'm tired, I will be hearted, if this man dares to scare me, I will even lift the boat for him!"

After that, Qi Zehui arched his hand to the helper, and then regardless of the kind dissuasion behind him, he led the horse and followed directly.

......

I saw that the leper man led the three of them to turn left and right on the dock, bypassing the noisy crowd, the porter who moved the goods, and the boat bosses who drank herbal tea.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Zehui quietly stepped forward and reminded the previous helper's kindness, at that moment, the three of them each got up, Tie Niu tightened the trouser belt around his waist, Qi Zehui took out the iron brace and put it on his hand, and Xiao also quietly touched the chain buckle tied to the "King Kong Seat" on his chest, ready to go.

However, the leper head man did not mean to seek money and kill his life, leading the three of them through the shadows of the trees, walking through the muddy road, but it was "another village with bright willows and flowers", only to see that the eyes suddenly opened up, but they came to an inaccessible cliff, next to it, is the surging Huai River.

On the bank of the river, I was already listening to a simple canopy boat, and in the air, there was a faint sound of people talking.

Isn't this the boat they're going to take?

Xiao?, Qi Zehui, and Tie Niu couldn't help but look at each other, such a canopy boat, driving on the wide Huai River, is too shabby and risky......

However, the leper man did not care, walked to the side of the boat, and shouted: "Old Li Tou, Lao Li Tou, I have come to pull you business!"

"What?" There was a slight commotion in the cabin, followed by silence, and then an old man with gray hair, a coat and a hat, hunched over the dark curtain, walked out helplessly.

It seems that this is the boatman on the "improper" ship...... Xiao and Qi Zehui glanced at each other and said to each other in their hearts.

"Zhang Lezi, why are you ...... I'm getting in trouble again!" the old boatman, known as Lao Li Tou, looked at Xiao and the group behind the leprosy-headed man, and stopped with his eyes focused on the majestic iron bull, and then asked a little angrily.

"Don't worry, don't worry......" The leper man looked indifferent, "Shouldn't you be happy if you have business to do?"

"So...... There are a lot of people," Lao Li Tou looked complaining, "If something happens, what will you do if you let me have this old bone?"

"It's okay, it's okay, didn't you encounter it last time? Isn't there also a thrill?" The leprosy man had an undeniable face, patted Lao Li Tou's shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "Your old Li Tou's methods are one by one, and when you deal with them, isn't it still easy to catch?"

"You ......" Lao Li Tou heard this, and his face was suddenly full of helplessness and reluctance.

Listen to their conversation...... It seems that this is not the first time that this old boatman has three such boats...... It seems that he has a good hand at dealing with the water bandits? Xiao pondered in his heart.

The boatman Lao Li Tou was originally reluctant, but then he didn't know what the leper man had secretly said in his ear, so Lao Li Tou sighed and reluctantly agreed:

"Okay, okay...... It's the last time, okay? The next time it's such a risky job, don't tell me to run again!"

"That's that, it's an extraordinary time, it's very treated!" The leper head man smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to the three people behind him, and said loudly: "Hey, several, where are you going, how to go, just discuss it with Lao Li Tou!

Xiao and the group looked at each other, and finally decided to let Qi Zehui come out and talk to the boatman about how to move.

"This brother, where do you want to go?" Lao Li glanced at the visitor, and his voice was still a little careless.

"The place we are going to is far away......" Qi Zehui looked at the canopy boat and said, "Nanning County, I don't know if the old man can run away?"

"Nanning?tsk, that's naturally not going to run...... Lao Li was taken aback, and then thought for a while, and said: "My boat, can't withstand too much wind and waves, so let's send it to Chuzhou for you, how about it?"

Qi Zehui smiled and habitually began to bargain: "Money is not a problem!"

Hearing the word "money", Lao Li's eyelids jumped obviously, he glanced at Qi Zehui's full bag, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Brother, it's not that the old man doesn't give you face and I'm afraid of running this trip, but my boat really can't eat too deep water, money has to be earned, and life has to be wanted, right?"

"Okay, okay, let's take a step back...... Qi Zehui thought for a moment or two, and said, "How about Ezhou?

Finally, after going back and forth, Qi Zehui finally finalized the itinerary with Lao Li Tou, and charged ten taels of silver for the boat fare alone, after all, it was a matter of risking his life, and he had to go over ten taels when he arrived......

However, what made him faintly feel a little strange and uneasy was that Lao Li Tou's attitude with him was a little less ...... "rigorous".

It's as if he's not really bargaining, and he looks powerless, as if he's just dealing with it perfunctorily.

"This man...... Can you really deliver it to us?" Qi Zehui's heart was also full of doubts, "...... You don't want to go back and throw it down for us, right?"

Just thinking about it, Lao Li Tou had already waved his hand, and was already beckoning the three of them to get on the boat quickly: "What are you waiting for, buddy? While the sun is still bright, go as far as you can in the daytime......

"Good ......"

The three of them responded, and when they were about to lead the horse to the boat, they were stopped by Lao Li Tou: "Hey, my buddy, this boat is for people to sit on, these four big horses, can't get on ......"

"Why?" asked Xiao suspiciously, "although the boat is not large, it is not impossible to let go of these horses?"

"My old man......" Qi Zehui narrowed his eyes, "Brother has paid for the boat, don't blackmail us at this time, you have to pay the boat fare for the horse......" He turned his head and glanced at the iron bull behind him.

Tie Niu immediately understood, immediately arched his arms, bared his teeth, and the muscles on the majestic muscles of the brown bear burst out, which immediately frightened Lao Li Tou, and took a few steps back, but he glanced at the leprosy-headed man on the side complainingly, and then smiled bitterly at Qi Zehui and his party, and said:

"A few brothers misunderstood, the old man didn't mean that, but now it's the 'Flower Drum Festival', at night, there must be water bandits rampant on this river, and people can hold their breath and silence for the time being, but this horse is a beast, and he can't understand human words.

"This ......"

"It's also ......"

"What about our horses?"

The three of them looked dazed, suddenly stunned, turned their heads to look at the leprosy-headed man who had been waiting next to them, and immediately glanced at each other helplessly, and now they understood a point

As a result, the four strong and sturdy solid-colored horses were "recycled" and taken away by the leper head man at a low price of one or two silver.

Looking at the figure of the leper head man with a smug face, Qi Zehui at the bow of the boat saw a burst of pain, and couldn't help sighing and feeling sorry for himself:

"Damn, this guy put it on the table! Even if you go to the street and find a tailor shop owner with a bull's head and a horse's mouth to sell, at least twenty taels of silver......

"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed here......" Xiao coaxed his friend like a child, and pulled him off the edge of the boat: "When we get ashore, we can buy a few more horses...... Don't cry...... Hey, hey!"

As soon as the horses were gone, the burden of the camel ran Li naturally fell on the head of the strong iron bull, when he stepped on the canopy boat with a big bag on his back, the whole hull swayed, and suddenly sank by three points, seeing the boatman Lao Li Tou was surprised, he sighed again and again:

"Mother, there is such a big guy in charge, this boat can't capsize if you want to......"

The three of them entered the cabin, which was extremely narrow, and half occupied by luggage and miscellaneous items, covered with a black cloth, and could not let in a single light, but fortunately there were two oil lamps and a stove, which could provide the light and faint warmth of the light for the next few cold nights. And sleeping is also a chase shop, and it is extremely embarrassing for people to be crowded together, and a strong man of Tie Niu's stature will occupy two Rao positions at once.

Compared to the previous freedom on a large cargo ship, the treatment here is almost like living in prison......
