Chapter 18, The Fairness of Time

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth. A few birds jumped in the treetops, chirping and chirping, and the stream reflected its colorful brilliance and murmured into the distance, and an overgrown path stretched from under the mountain temple.

The old beggar opened his sleepy eyes, and the first thing he looked to the side was, the waves were long gone, leaving a pile of hay empty. So, he let out a secret laugh, "Let's go, let's go." With that, he stretched and walked to the door, looking at the white clouds floating in the blue sky. In the blink of an eye, the cobwebs in the corner of the wall caught his eye, and he gasped and said, "This temple is small, not a place for people to stay." ”

"Where will Lu Qianyu be?"

Wandering slowly along the path with doubts, his injuries had not recovered, and he could not heal so quickly, there was no medicine in the mountain temple, and the pain and abscess might continue to torment him for a long time.

It was simply some skin trauma that had nothing to do with life, and it failed to hurt the bones, and the waves did not worry about the stomach, and they carried the distress, and other physical pains were just pediatrics.

Linzhou City, he can't go back, otherwise he can buy some herbs.

Shi Weng died immortally, and Lu Jian was seriously injured.

The sudden change in the situation in Linzhou is like a dream, which makes people overwhelmed. Wulingfeng effortlessly reaped the benefits of the fisherman, which can be called the biggest winner. As for what sparks he will break out with Lu Blade, that is not a question for Langliu to consider at this stage.

He walked for two hours and came to a secluded ferry port on the Linjiang River, but saw several small boats anchored.

Three middle-aged boatmen and a teenager were sitting lazily in the gazebo, in a circle.

When they saw the visitor, they raised their heads and glanced at them. Then, I found that it was a guy in tattered clothes and unkempt, and he was suddenly bored, and continued to bow his head and chat.

"Damn, it's a poor ghost again!"

"Business is really hard right now. ”

"Junko, hey, hey, your father is dead, what will your mother do at night?"

"Get out!"

"Hey, you are not filial to your grandson, and you dare to scold your father. Have you forgotten the pig's head meat that your father gave you and your mother?"

"Get out, who scarces your meat!"

"Hey, Junko, why are you going?"

"You want to care?"

"Come back quickly, Daddy won't talk about your mother. ”

"Hahaha. ”

The tide stood still, and the boatmen were heard teasing the boy.

The boy looked like he was eleven or twelve years old. He is not tall, wearing shorts of different lengths, and his cardigan is unbuttoned, so his chest is so exposed, and several traces of muddy water are crawling on his chest, which looks like a tattoo. He was barefoot, his shoes perhaps on the side, and he was walking towards the current.

In the blink of an eye, the young man came to Langliu, he saluted, and said slowly, "The weather is really good, but the guest officer is traveling far away?"

The waves look out over the river. At this moment, it is as calm as a mirror, the clouds seem to grow in the water, a flock of wild ducks and water birds are rippling and frolicking, and the silver light is covered with brilliant and bright. He turned his head to look at the boy squarely, and he said, "The weather is nice. ”

The boy looked at the waves, and this casual dress really made people wonder where he came from.

Wanderer's clothes were torn and covered in blood during the battle, so he was wearing the clothes that the old beggar had picked up. The wide linen shirt was a whole circle larger than him, the trousers were flapped with raw edges, and there were dozens of large and small holes in the clothes and trousers, and there were even threads in many places to cover the shame. In addition, the grass clippings live in his hair, and his face is black and purple, all bruised, and it is difficult not to be suspicious.

The boy's reaction to surprise was normal, but the wave was uncomfortable, and he moved his chapped lips and asked, "Do I have gold on my face?"

"Nope. The boy shook his head, and he said, "You're hurt!"

"A little bit of the imprint. After speaking, Langliu touched his body, and there were a few taels of silver left, and he said in his heart, "It should be enough to pay for the boat." He said, "Where does this river lead?"

The boy smiled, maybe he didn't know, or he suspected the identity of the waves, and he didn't want to say it.

At this time, a boatman came over, and while the boy was not paying attention, he grabbed the boy's ear, "Junko, what are you doing?"

The young man grinned in pain and said hesitantly, "Brother Cai, you let go." ”

"Let him go!" Wave glared at him, and then the murderous aura immediately dispersed around, "I'll ask him again!" Wave said, the reason why he was so excited had a lot to do with the whispers of the boatmen before, and although he was down, it was not the turn of several boatmen to laugh.

"Roar so loudly?" The boatman is not a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is not very sensitive to murderous spirits. According to him, this person blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and his temper was not small, and he said to himself, "What kind of world is this, are beggars so angry?"

The boy took the opportunity to break free, he ran behind the waves, and he said to the boatman, "Brother Cai, he is injured, don't do this." ”

"Little bunny. The boatman straightened up and said loudly, "I don't kiss your father, kiss an outsider, did your mother let me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a hand on the other side grabbing him, and he was so frightened that his neck was immediately choked by the waves, and his blood was surging, and his face was red.

"If you say another nonsense, I'll send you to meet Junko's father!" Langliu already knew at this moment that the boy was a single-parent family, and his mother lived in the family. He suddenly touched the scene, thought of his lonely childhood, and suddenly became angry, and his hands were a little heavier, and the boatman who pinched him almost passed out.

"Big brother, don't hurt him. The boy wrestled Wave's arm, "You're going to kill him." He shouted.

So, the wave let go of his hand, and the boatman collapsed, coughed a few times, and breathed like a fish on land, and he said, "Which good man are you in the rivers and lakes?"

"Yo?" Wave leaned down and stared at the boatman, so frightened that he quickly covered his neck, "I'm an unknown person, what advice do you have?" Langliu laughed.

"I'm sorry for you. The boatman stood up and said hesitantly, "Brother Tai, I, Cai Youqing, am a rough man, and I admire the people who practice martial arts the most in my life, but unfortunately my family is poor and I don't have a chance to practice martial arts." ”

"And then?"

Cai Youqing smiled, "It's better to..." ”

"Lao Cai, you're here again!" At this time, a boatman said, "You are a lot older, what kind of martial arts are you still learning?

"Huh. Cai Youqing touched his head and scolded: "Lao Tzu is just a little anxious, and he is only twenty-five this year." ”

Langliu looked at Cai Youqing's muggle face and felt that he looked like fifty-two.

So, he snorted, grabbed Cai Youqing's collar, and asked, "Where does this river lead?"

"Then you're asking the right person. Cai Youqing had a smile on his face, and he gently brushed away the wave of his hand with his fingers, "That, can you let go a little, my throat, my throat.."

"Say it quickly. The wave suddenly exerted force, and his face turned green with fright.

"The sea is inclusive, and the end of the Linjiang River is naturally the sea. ”

Wander kicked him, "Fuck you, isn't this bullshit?"

"It's Dongqiu!" said the young man, "Big brother, the Linjiang River is thousands of miles long, passes through more than 100 towns, and finally flows into the sea, but when my father was alive, he said that after the Linjiang River reaches Dongqiu, it will be regarded as the end." ”

Wander believed in the boy's words, because he thought that this was a good boy who could not lie, a poor man, and the best to stick to the true nature of life. He was full of questions, puzzled, and asked, "How do you say that Linjiang ends up in Dongqiu?"

The boy's head shook like a rattle, and he said, "I don't know, I used to ask my dad that, and he said he would find out when I went." ”

"Okay!" After Langliu finished speaking, he grabbed Cai Youqing by the collar and walked towards the boat. Cai Youqing was smart, and his steps were very reluctant.

"Hero. Cai Youqing cried and said, "What's good?"

"I'll go to Dongqiu!"

"But I'm not going. ”

"I can't tolerate you. Langliu looked at Lu Qianyu's appearance, and he asked, "Which is your ship?"

"Hero, I'm really not going, I'm not going to go way!"

"Do you say a word more?"

"Hero, oops, really... , by the way, by the way... Oh, stop fighting. ”

"Big brother, wake up.... ”

Lu Qianyu was in a dilemma of extreme lack of sleep, he was lying in the hay, more comfortable than sleeping in a quilt, and it was pitch black under the cabin, even during the day, it was still impermeable, which provided an excellent breeding ground for sleep. He barely opened his eyes when he felt someone shake his arm. So, I heard the unique voice of the knife, which was crisp and a little hoarse, and the words were not very accurate.

"Big brother, it's dawn!"

"What time is it?" Lu Qianyu asked.

"It's morning!"

"Let me sleep for a while. Lu Qianyu said in a daze, "Time for a stick of incense." ”

"Big brother, my dad said..."Xiao Dao watched Lu Qianyu close his eyes again, and he was almost desperate in his heart. So, he quietly waited for the time of a stick of incense, and Lu Qianyu only felt that time was only a moment.

"Big brother, big brother, it's time for a stick of incense. The knife continued to shake Lu Qianyu's arm, but he didn't dare to use force, and Lu Qianyu's arm injury hadn't healed yet.

Lu Qianyu snorted a few times, turned over, and wanted to continue sleeping, "Give me another stick of incense time." He said.

"Brother Lu, are you too tired?"

"Well, I have too little time allocated for sleep, so, I'm going to compensate for it now. He said.

"My dad said that the allocation of time is always fair. "Knife, suddenly quiet.

"Hmm. Lu Qianyu heard this sentence in a daze, and felt very interesting, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Just like those of us who walk the rivers and lakes, the time allocated to us is usually risky, so we have more wealth in our hands, although time gives others plain, they live comfortably, you owe time, not time owes you, we use time for other purposes, how can we pity that time is stingy with us?" ”

The words of the knife were like a man's back, Lu Qianyu woke up suddenly, sat up straight, his eyes were looking ahead, and a light seemed to be shining into the gap in the hatch. Then, he slowly turned to the knife and said excitedly, "Your father is right. ”

His appearance startled the knife, and he asked, "Are you okay?"

"The Old Man of Time never deceives his followers, nor does he wait for anyone with leg problems. The rivers and lakes are cold-blooded, and the weak do not get sympathy. There is no fairness in this world at all, unless...!" Lu Qianyu suddenly got up and walked towards the outside of the cabin.

"Brother Lu, unless what?" the knife chased out.

Standing on the deck, Lu Qianyu covered his eyes with his hands, and through the gap between his fingers, he saw a brilliant morning sun, and its burst of light made it impossible for people to look directly, and soon, Lu Qianyu's eyes were blurred and tears flowed.

Looking at his strange behavior, the knife said puzzledly, "Don't do that, it will hurt your eyes." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Qianyu closed his eyes, and then felt the warm sunlight fall on his body, and his body was like a rapidly melting ice cube. He couldn't tell whether he was water, people, or steam, and the blood in his body was rushing in his veins. He understood that in this world, there is only sunlight and people's hearts, and it is difficult to see the truth.

"Brother Lu, you haven't said it yet, unless what?" asked the knife.

Lu Qianyu put down his arm, laughed, touched the head of the knife, and said, "Unless, you take the fair decision into your own hands." ”
