Chapter 163: Strange Boy
However, the travelers did not agree with the explanation of the boat crew, and shouted: "The crossing of the river by Jucha is a public welfare matter convenient for the people under the rule of Lord Fuyi, and it has always been funded by the government, but it is only a symbolic collection of some boat fares.
"Fellow villagers, protecting your safety is originally the business of those cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, but we have already left the sect and have been sent by the service mansion under the rule of Yizhi, how dare we disobey the order of the peak......?
Yang Feng was anxious, and immediately separated everyone, stepped forward and said, "How many people can you carry?"
The boat guy glanced at Yang Feng and replied, "Two hundred and fifty-eight people, what's the matter?"
Yang Feng took out a few ingots of silver from his body (actually secretly from the space package) and threw them into the arms of the boat guy, and said, "These silver are a total of four thousand taels, is it enough to pay these people's boat fare?"
"Enough, enough. The boat man nodded repeatedly while holding the silver ingot.
In fact, the actual number of passengers carried by this giant was more than 240 people, and the crew of the boat also counted all the men who escorted the boat.
"Okay, let's start the boat, I've chartered this boat! I'm going to rush to the south bank ferry in half an hour!" Yang Feng said lightly.
Ordinary sailing wooden boats sail for a maximum of forty miles in an hour (two hours), and they have to sail smoothly, but this giant chariot propelled by the energy of cultivation is different, it is no problem to sail one or two hundred miles in an hour, but this big river is three hundred miles wide, and one hour is definitely not enough, and half an hour is even more of a fantasy!
Therefore, the boat guy said with a difficult face: "Guest officer, although this giant is fast, it will never reach the south bank in half an hour, you see......"
"If you can't get there in half an hour, not only will you not be able to get the four thousand taels of boat fare, I'm afraid you will have to take your life! If you don't believe it, you can try it!" Yang Feng said coldly.
"What? you...... Didn't you mean to make things difficult?" all the boatmen looked angry.
"If you want to get money, you have to get things done!" Yang Feng said with his hand in his sleeve.
"Boy, I see you're playing in the wrong place!" a man angrily came to pull Yang Feng's collar.
Yang Feng stretched out his feet, and tripped the person on his back, and then choked the neck of another guy who pounced from behind, even though Yang Feng held back his killing intent, he didn't want to kill too much, and he didn't want to reveal his identity as a cultivator, so he didn't break the guy's neck.
"Hey!" the other guy rushed over with a pole, the sharp tip of which was made of fine iron, and it was absolutely no problem to pierce a person's body!
But Yang Feng first gave him a handy hand, and then reached out and pinched his back collar and lifted him off the ground, as if pinching a kitten - ordinary people can never lift others off the ground just by pinching other people's collars, so Yang Feng's move can be regarded as shocking!
Not only were the boatmen stunned, but all the travelers were there. They may have been born from their mother's womb and never seen an adult with a big waist and a round waist pinched by the collar and lifted lightly!
As mentioned earlier, those boat guys are all cultivators, and their level doesn't seem to be very high, they are all cultivators below level 20. Although they are all cultivators, there are still Taoists, and when they saw that their companions were humiliated, they disregarded their identity as cultivators, and they all took up flying swords and magic weapons, and wanted to attack Yang Feng with cultivation spells......
"Stop, all of you!" shouted a young man dressed in purple at the boatmen.
"Yes, master!" the men stopped, and saluted the purple-clothed young man in unison.
Yang Feng also put down the boat guy who was pinched by his collar, and looked at the purple-clothed young man coldly. I saw that this person was the same age as him, although he was dressed very old-fashioned, and he looked like a person with status, but he could not hide the immaturity and simplicity on his face. For some reason, Yang Feng seemed to see his past from him, and he suddenly had a good impression of this young man. At the moment, he said lightly: "You are the shipowner?"
"Hello big brother, in Xia Wang Fei, the word Shijie, it is the owner of this Guanyuecha, the boat guys are ignorant and offended the eldest brother, please forgive the eldest brother. The younger brother has prepared a banquet in the chariot, so how about asking the eldest brother to deign to talk about it?" the young man said with sincerity on his face.
"No need!" Yang Feng waved his hand, "I'll just ask, when will the ship leave, can you reach the south bank at the time I said?"
"You can sail immediately, but it is indeed difficult to reach the south bank in half an hour, please forgive me...... If you don't ask the eldest brother to recover the boat fare, I will send everyone across the river for free this trip, what do you think?" Wang Fei said.
"Okay, seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, I will have no time limit, I can arrive when I can, but next time don't take advantage of the fire to rob and raise prices!" Yang Feng said lightly.
Hearing that the shipowner had waived the fare, everyone was happy and came together to express their gratitude to Yang Feng.
After getting on the chacha, Yang Feng found that the space inside was also very large, and although the outside was completely closed, and there was no window, the inside was not dim, and the light was still very strong, and the lighting inside was not pine and oil lamps, but self-luminous beads embedded in the four walls of the cabin, Yang Feng saw that these beads should be something called the Night Pearl. However, the energy of this thing is not very strong, and it does not help much in cultivation, and it is usually bought by wealthy secular people for lighting.
Although it is not helpful for Xiuzhen, because of the scarcity, the selling price on the market is quite high, it is said that two or three thousand taels of silver each, and the high quality is tens of thousands of taels. And there are hundreds of them on this chariot, which shows that the owner of the ship is still very rich.
The equipment on the chariot is also very comfortable and luxurious, just like the so-called inn hotel in the world, and it is actually a pleasure to sit on such a chariot! No wonder you have to charge five taels of silver for a crossing! Yang Feng used to take a transition boat on some small streams and rivers, and the boat fare was only a few dollars of silver, and the most was only twenty or thirty yuan. Looking at the comfort level on this chacha, it is really not too much to charge five taels of silver, even if it is enough to receive ten or twenty taels.
At this time, Wang Fei came over to invite Yang Feng to talk about it, Yang Feng was really gracious, so he had to follow Wang Fei to the upper cabin, only to see that this place was more luxuriously decorated than the large cabin below, and a small square table was full of exquisite wine and food, and the aroma was refreshing.
"Big brother, please!" Wang Fei picked up the glass cup and saluted Yang Feng.
Yang Feng didn't move the cup, and a pair of eagle eyes stopped on Wang Fei's face: "Who are you? Why do you treat me like this?"
Yang Feng is now not afraid of anyone except for grandmaster-level figures above level fifty, so his tone is also quite blunt.
