Chapter 145: The Servant of the Ferry

The old boatman looked up at the sky, and hurriedly greeted Ye Jinyi and said, "When is it raining outside, the little boy come up quickly, don't get wet with your clothes." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ye Jinyi nodded and said, "Then thank you to the old man." ”

After that, the night brocade clothes were on tiptoe, and with a leap of force, they landed lightly on the bow of the boat.

The old boatman smiled, stroked his beard and said, "The little boy's light skills are beautifully tight." ”

Ye Jinyi bowed his head and said: "Don't dare to be, I'm afraid that the light work of that Roujia girl in your mansion is still above me, and I can't afford to praise the younger generation." ”

When the old boatman heard this, he pulled the towel hanging on the boat and handed it to Ye Jinyi, and said with a smile: "Roujia, that girl, is the apprentice of the little bat fairy, and the little boy really doesn't need to be lighthearted." ”

Ye Jinyi took the towel and wiped the water stains on his face, and laughed at himself: "The predecessor of the little bat fairy is the best person in the martial arts today, and the girl Roujia is the apprentice of the predecessor of the little bat fairy, so it is really not comparable in the next." I'm curious, though. ”

The old boatman smiled heartily and said, "Who do you want to ask me?"

Ye Jinyi bowed his head and said: "The apprentice of the little bat fairy can come to be a servant girl for Lu Niangongzi, then you must be an amazing person, old man." ”

The old boatman raised his hand and motioned for Ye Jinyi to sit down, then took off the gourd on his waist, took a big sip on his back, raised his sleeve to wipe the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "I? I'm just a servant brought back by Master Lu Zhise to serve Young Master Lu Qiudu decades ago, and I'm really not a martial arts master." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Ye Jinyi's eyes, and after a while, he said tentatively: "Lu Qiudu's predecessor's servant?"

Is it just that the servant is so lightweight?

The old boatman seemed to see through Ye Jinyi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, Master Lu Zhise did not allow Lu Qiudu to learn the art of imperial weapons, only allowed him to practice some self-defense martial arts, and then let him read with all his heart, although I am only a servant of Young Master Lu Qiudu, but I am also familiar with it, so I also have some understanding of poetry." ”

Ye Jinyi hooked his lips and said: "I see, the old man might as well teach the younger generation now, the sentence 'There is no day for work, and the dust is in vain'." ”

The old boatman looked down at the flickering lights on the table, and only after a while did he look sideways at the night scene outside, and said, "Or fate, I remember this sentence very clearly, and nothing else." ”

Ye Jinyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Fate?"

The old boatman turned his gaze to Ye Jinyi and said with a kind smile: "Little boy, do you know my name?"

Ye Jinyi hesitated: "This, forgive the junior-"

"Master Lu Zhise named me Lao Sheng, and I have no day to work, so I remember this sentence very clearly. The old boatman didn't wait for Ye Jinyi to finish speaking, and then he smiled and spoke.

Hearing this, Ye Jinyi was stunned, because of the name "Laosheng", and because of the vicissitudes of life and the sudden sorrow that suddenly poured out of the cloudy eyes of the old man named Laosheng.

Sometimes, if you know too much and understand too much, you will feel this kind of sorrow that overflows with vicissitudes, either for your own life or for the lives of others.

Ye Jinyi lowered his head and said as if he had an understanding: "The Lu family has really ・・・・・・ from the prosperity of the year to the current step of the field."

"Childe, you are still too young, and the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes are far from being as simple as you seem. Ye Jinyi was only halfway through his words when the boatman interrupted with a smile again.

Ye Jinyi suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was really a little unfathomable, because there are not many people who can see through his thoughts so easily, and the ones who can see through must be people who have seen through the vicissitudes of life for a long time.

"The current appearance of the Lu family is indeed embarrassing. The old boatman looked in the direction where Lu Fu was located through the vast night, and sighed slightly.

"That being the case, old man ・・・・・・" Ye Jinyi also looked in the direction of Lu Fu, and then looked at the old boatman.

Why not leave?

Ye Jinyi's words were not finished, because the old boatman understood her mind again.

Ye Jinyi had to sigh, when she met a smart person, she even became much easier to speak.

"My life belongs to Young Master Qiudu, and if Young Master Qiudu is dead, that is Young Master Lu Nian's. If the Lu family is like this, then I can't go, although I, an old man, don't know anything, but fortunately, this life is still there, and I can still guard the gate and ferry for the Lu family. As he spoke, the old boatman suddenly looked at Ye Jinyi, and his eyes became cold, "Therefore, I will never allow anyone to do anything to harm the Lu family." ”

The smile on Ye Jinyi's face was a little stiff, she eased her expression, and said, "The old man misunderstood, I just came here to retrieve the Weeping Blood Sword, and nothing else." ”

"What do you mean by retrieval?" said the old boatman, sneering, and asked such a surprising question.

Ye Jinyi was slightly stunned before he said: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Weeping Blood Sword is the treasure of the Imperial Sword Villa. ”

The old boatman laughed and said: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Weeping Blood Sword is refined by the Ghost Palace, and when the Ghost Yu was dying, he did not explain who this Weeping Blood Sword was left to, so Xin Lianzi and Ji Zhuzi will turn against each other because of this sword, so there is probably no solid evidence that this Weeping Blood Sword is the thing of the Imperial Sword Villa." ”

Ye Jinyi chuckled: "Even if the truth is as you said, old man, but now Xin Lianzi is embarrassed by the theft of the Weeping Blood Sword, if I don't bring the Weeping Blood Sword back, then ・・・・・・"

The old boatman shook his head, as if he didn't agree with Ye Jinyi's words: "Isn't it very clear in Childe's heart that there is no need to go to great lengths to retrieve the Weeping Blood Sword to solve the predicament of Boundless Villa, and Childe is here for another purpose." ”

Ye Jinyi was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to cover his nose slightly, and chuckled, and after a while, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the old boatman, and said, "Even so, what about the old man?"

The old boatman shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm just a bad old man, I can't do anything." But since I have a relationship with my son, I can't help but advise my son that it is better to leave the Lu family as soon as possible. If Childe leaves, I will surely wait here for Childe to cross the lake. ”

Ye Jinyi smiled: "What if the junior doesn't leave?"

The old boatman glanced up at Ye Jinyi, as if he had caught a glimpse of the mockery in Ye Jinyi's eyes, so he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "Then I'm afraid I won't have a chance to cross the lake again." ”

Ye Jinyi stood up, looked at the green smoke gradually rising on the lake, looked back at the old boatman, and said, "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely come back and ask you to cross this lake, but not now." ”

The old boatman sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Even so, I can't do it anymore, so I can only ask my son to cherish it." ”

Ye Jinyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Before leaving, I want to ask the old man about someone." ”

The old boatman looked up and said, "Who?"

Ye Jinyi raised his finger and pointed to the two dents the size of copper coins at the bottom of the cabin, and said with a smile: "The person who left these two dents." ”
