Chapter 103: The Old Man on the Boat
"Poisonous Laughing King" Wang Kai.
As soon as this person's name was mentioned, everyone's backs were cold. Who doesn't know that he is the world's first drug master. If he is targeted, it is like seeing Lord Hades.
But this terrifying "Lord of Yama" did not take the lives of anyone present tonight, and Ling Quanfei and Qi Ying'er met him as early as Jingyun Villa, and he did not kill these two. Isn't the terrifying King of Poisonous Laughter as terrible as people think?
Qin Ping said: "Could it be ...... Could it be that the third brother has already been killed by him?" his trembling voice seemed to see Tie Wusheng being poisoned and struggling in pain on the ground.
Qi Ying'er said: "I don't think so. When he saw that I hadn't poisoned me twice, I couldn't think of any reason for him to kill Iron. β
Wang Kai really has no reason to kill Tie Wulife, but sometimes Wang Kai doesn't need any reason to kill people, as long as he doesn't agree with him, he will kill if he says kill. Qin Ping and Feng Yu were worried about this.
Qin Ping was no longer as reckless and impulsive as before, but said calmly and calmly: "If he didn't kill the third brother of Tie, then where did the feather dart he was holding come from? Could it be that the third brother gave it to him himself?"
No one knows the answer to this question, and he said, "We can't guess and come up with it here, so let's just go ahead with the plan." If he wants us to know something, we will always know what he intends if we follow the plan. β
When they all thought so, they put out the fire, took their horses, and went on.
Qi Ying'er looked back at the way she came, thinking of the innocent Li Jiaji people, who were so violent in the wilderness, wandering in the mountains and forests, which made the grief in his heart really difficult to calm. Qi Ying'er was pondering, a hand fell on his shoulder, and Ling Quanfei said gently: "There are many unfair things in this world, and there are also many things that we cannot undo by ourselves. β
Qi Ying'er sighed: "It's irretrievable, can't it be stopped?"
"Can't be stopped. These things are like a torrent of desolation, if you have to stop it, you will inevitably be swallowed up even yourself. β
"Then what are we doing now?" Qi Ying'er raised her eyes to look at Ling Quanfei.
Ling Quanfei laughed: "We are saving the rest of the people." β
Qi Ying'er didn't understand the difference between the two. Ling Quanfei said again: "Don't let hatred and anger consume you. Qi Ying'er was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when she found out that "Huo*Yun" Wei Sizhang had been killed in Jingyun Villa, Ling Quanfei did not lose himself, but looked for clues little by little. And even if he knew that Mo Cheng was the murderer of Wei Sizhang, he did not rush to take revenge, but tried to find out the truth of the matter. Later, Ling Quanfei found that things were really not so simple.
Wei Sizhang's death may have something to do with the White Crane Gang.
Hatred and anger can indeed be disoriented.
Everyone walked all the way, and suddenly the sound of gurgling water came to their ears. So everyone decided to look for the source of the sound of the water, the sound of the water became clearer and clearer, and it sounded like it was not a trickle, and after walking for a while, a river appeared in front of everyone.
No one expected that there would be a river four or five feet wide in the middle of the woods. The river is clear and meandering, sometimes hidden in the woods, sometimes faintly in the distance where the trees are scarce, and under the moonlight, sparkling like a long silk satin falling in the forest.
Seeing such a clear river, Lian Xiangyu clapped her hands happily, and couldn't wait for everyone, so she walked to the river first, this river seemed to have some magic power, and it aroused the heart of the girl of Lian Xiangyu, and immediately squatted down and rolled up her sleeves to brush the water with her hands, and as soon as she touched the water, she felt a chill flowing all over her body, and then she thought that it was only mid to late March, and the cold at night had not disappeared, and the river was naturally cold. But instead of being afraid of the cold river, Lian Xiangyu felt the chill make her energetic, so she stirred it in the water with her jade-like hands.
And they all came to the river.
Yi Wanxuan said: "If you go to Wanling Mountain, you need to cross this river and go southeast from the opposite bank." It's just that this river is more than four feet wide, how can we cross it?"
Qin Ping said: "This river is so wide, I can cross it in one jump, why is it difficult?"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Big brother, you can naturally go over, but what about this horse?"
Qin Ping said: "Ah, yes, this horse can't get by." β
Liang Laosan said: "Try the depth." So he threw a stone into the river, and the stone fell into the river with a muffled sound, and the water ripples were not obvious, which showed that the river was not shallow.
Hong Hanming said: "Then you can only give up the horse." Anyway, there is no way to ride a horse through this sea of trees, so when you get to the avenue, let's find a place to rent a few horses. β
Qi Ying'er asked, "But what about these horses?"
Hong Hanming said: "Don't worry, these horses naturally know the way back, and if you let go of them, you will return to Huang'an Town." This is what the innkeeper said, if there is a sudden difficulty, let the horses go and let them go back on their own. Even if someone on the road wants to rob them, it is impossible, these horses are all high-quality horses, and they are naturally alert in case of crisis, and they run away, and ordinary people can't catch up with them. β
Lian Xiangyu stood up and said, "Ah, such a good horse, I can't bear to lose it like this!"
Sora looked into the distance and said, "It seems that there is no need to lose the horse." β
The people looked in the direction he could see, and saw a dark shadow on the river slowly coming this way, and a man was rowing towards them with a boat.
Jiang Chuanhai: "It's a little weird to hold the boat in the middle of the night. β
Everyone also felt that the people on this boat were indeed unusual, but because of their large numbers, they were not afraid of the number of people on the other side, so they stood still and looked at the black shadow. The ship was getting closer and closer, and Qi Ying'er saw the person on the boat clearly, an old man with gray hair and a vicissitudes of life. The old man rolled up his sleeves, rolled up his trousers, held a long bamboo pole in his hand, and skillfully turned the boat across every river bay to the crowd.
Everyone thought that the visitor was strange, but the old man rowed past them as if he had never seen anyone on the shore, and did not say a word.
Ling Quanfei suddenly shouted to the old man, "Old man!"
The old man ignored Ling Quanfei, still holding on to the boat, rowing forward unhurriedly, leaving only a circle of water waves behind him.
At this time, Qi Ying'er shouted: "Old man, we have to cross the river." β
The old man suddenly stopped his movements, turned to look at the crowd, and responded: "Wait!
Lian Xiangyu smiled: "Why is this boatman so strange!" Not only her, but everyone thinks this old man is too strange, after all, who would come to support the boat in the middle of the night?
I saw the old man skillfully turn the bow and stern of the boat, and slowly prop the boat over and stop in front of everyone. In the face of everyone's gaze, he didn't feel panicked at all, but asked calmly, "Who wants to cross the river?"
Qi Ying'er said: "Old man, we all have to cross the river." β
The old man looked at Qi Ying'er and smiled, "Which river do you want to cross?"
What other river was in front of them? Everyone felt that the old man was getting more and more strange. But in Ling Quanfei's opinion, this old man is upright, but he doesn't want to be a crooked person, he also knows that there are many capable people and chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, could it be that this old man is also one of them?
Ling Quanfei arched his hand and bowed to the old man, and then asked, "May I ask the old man's name." β
The old man smiled and replied, "Yo, ask me my name, I can't remember." β
Seeing the old man's answer like this, everyone felt incredible, and decided that this old man must not be treated ordinarily. Qi Ying'er also said respectfully: "Old man, we want to cross this river. β
The old man said, "If you want to cross this river, you naturally have to take the bridge in front." β
Yi Wanxuan said: "Oh, old man, is there a bridge in front?"
The old man said: "Of course, with the bridge, not only you can get by, but even the horses can get by." β
Yi Wanxuan said: "Since this is the case, then we won't bother the old man, I'll just wait for myself to walk over." β
The old man nodded and smiled, "Although that bridge is very convenient, it is not so easy to cross. β
With that, the old man slowly drifted in the direction in which the boat had been coming. Qin Ping shouted: "Heyβold man, aren't you going to go ahead?"
The old man on the boat didn't seem to hear what Qin Ping said, but he just held the boat unhurriedly, and soon crossed an inlet, which became a black spot.
Yi Wanxuan said in a deep voice: "Can my brother see where the old man came from?"
Ling Quanfei said: "I can't see it." But I knew that this old man must not have met us by chance, and he must have known in advance that we were going to be here. β
Lian Xiangyu pondered Ling Quanfei's words, and then exclaimed: "He knew that we would come here, so he must have known that we would not take the road of Kuishan Yongdao, so has he also seen the corpses all over the ground?"
At the mention of the corpses everywhere, everyone gasped.
Qi Ying'er said: "Even if he has seen it, he didn't do it." β
Liang Laosan said: "The so-called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, how do you know that this old man is not good and evil? And he actually came to row in the middle of the night, how could anyone have such leisure and elegance?"
"You're right, no one would come to no man's land in the middle of the night to row a boat. He looked as if he had come to remind us of something. β
Hong Hanming said: "Is it the bridge? He finally said that the bridge is not so easy to pass. β
Qi Ying'er continued: "Yes, it should have something to do with that bridge." Since he pointed out the bridge, he meant to let us cross it, but he said that the bridge was not so easy to cross, perhaps because someone was ambushing us there. β
Lian Xiangyu exclaimed: "Ambush us?"
Ling Quanfei said: "We can't be sure whether it is or not, we can only go over and see what happens." β
Lian Xiangyu said: "But, what if there is really an ambush?"
Qin Ping smiled: "Hey, poor girl, what are you afraid of, there are so many of us." β
Lian Xiangyu said: "But maybe there are more people who ambush us?"
Kong Dao: "It's always wrong to be careful, but if that old man really has the heart to help us, it means that a few of us should be able to get by, but it's just a little difficult." β
Liang Laosan picked his ears and smiled: "But what if that old man is deliberately leading us into the trap?"
Qi Ying'er said: "He will never harm us." β
Liang Laosan questioned again: "Why do you believe him so much? Little brother, you are still young, this world is too sinister, you can't conclude that he is a good person from his superficial good-heartedness!"
Qi Ying'er said: "Because I have seen him." β
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Liang Laosan said again: "Do you know him?"
Qi Ying'er shook her head: "I don't know, I forgot where I saw him, but I think it's familiar." β
Liang Laosan snorted, everyone seemed to be a little disappointed, Yi Wanxuan said: "Let's go to the front first, everyone pay attention to it, and be careful around." β
No matter what, Qi Ying'er didn't believe that the old man would harm them. He was also quite sure that the familiar feeling did not come out of nowhere, he must have seen the old man somewhere, but his appearance seemed to have changed.
