Chapter 341: The Rustic Coachman
Nearly seven days have passed, Xiong Yu is still on the road, it takes about four days to travel from Hongguang Town to Baifang Town, Xiong Yu has walked for seven days, isn't he in a hurry to go to the dark river?
Xiong Yu's heart was very anxious, but he was not in a hurry, because he understood one thing, what he needed now was to maintain sufficient physical strength, so Xiong Yu did not ride a horse, Xiong Yu rented a carriage with the little silver left on his body, and he was lying comfortably in the carriage at the moment.
Xiong Yu is not a person who likes to enjoy, but he has to do it now, because he heard Lu Xiaotao say that only two people out of fifty people have passed Lu Benguang's test, and the two people who can stand out from the fifty people must be the masters of the masters, but these two people ended up in the hands of Boss Chang in the end.
Xiong Yu can imagine what a terrible person Boss Chang is, these two people died in the hands of Boss Chang in the end, which proves that there is only one way to die if you fail in front of Boss Chang, no one will help Xiong Yu this time, Xiong Yu can only rely on himself.
Xiong Yu was lying in the carriage drinking wine, he likes to drink a few glasses of wine when he thinks about problems, this is a habit, Xiong Yu thinks that a person can drink a few glasses of wine when thinking about problems can make the brain more flexible, at this moment Xiong Yu has only one question in his heart, that is, what kind of test will be waiting for him on Boss Chang's side?
What kind of test is it that if you fail, you must die? Xiong Yu had already made eighteen glasses of wine, and Xiong Yu suddenly sighed, because he didn't think of anything at all after he found that these eighteen glasses of wine were down.
Xiong Yu wanted to drink a few more glasses, but when he grabbed the wine jug he found that the wine jug was empty, Xiong Yu put down the wine jug and closed his eyes, and he suddenly said aloud: "There are still a few days to go from Baifang Town?"
"Boss, at this rate, it will take about a day and a night. The man who was driving the car said a little tiredly.
Xiong Yu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the man who was driving the car, the man who was driving the car was a simple farmer, there was no farmer to plant in early winter, so many crop men were also looking for other ways to support their families, the most important thing was that Xiong Yu did not have much silver on his body, and he had little silver left after renting a carriage.
Xiong Yu can pay the dealer man not much silver, but this dealer man doesn't care, he said anyway, I am idle at home, it is better to come out to give you a car to earn a little sugar money for the child, the average coachman has to walk so far to ten taels of silver, but this dealer man only asked Xiong Yu to ask for five taels of silver.
People who know how to be satisfied are often happy, so although they are boring and tired along the way, the farmer often hums songs.
"You don't have to call me boss, I'm not as old as you, if I am old, I have to call you big brother. Xiong Yu smiled at the dealer.
The crop man scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." ”
Xiong Yu waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with this, I'm just an ordinary person, and I haven't asked you what your name is along the way?"
The farmer cheered up and said, "My name is Ma Fengyu, what about you?"
Xiong Yu nodded and smiled: "My name is Xiong Yu." ”
The crop man crossed his legs and said, "Brother Xiong Yu, do you know why my name is Ma Fengyu?"
Xiong Yu shook his head and said, "Is there any other story in this name?"
Ma Fengyu raised the horsewhip and slapped the horse's buttocks and said: "Don't tell me, there is really a story, I remember my father told me that my mother gave birth to me in the year just in time for a great drought that has not been encountered for many years, the dealer has no harvest for several years, and many people are starving to death at that time, at that time my family still has six children, at that time it was already my father's limit to feed six children, and my father was going to throw me away as soon as I was born." ”
"But I am also a piece of meat that fell from my mother's body, my mother didn't let my father throw me away, so my father persuaded my mother that there were already six children in the family, if I didn't throw me away, these children would all starve to death, my mother looked at the six almost skinny children in the family and was about to throw me away. ”
"But just when my mother was about to throw me away, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, and the heavy rain fell for three days and three nights, and the originally arid land was also wet, as long as God was willing to rain, then the dealer would be saved, and it was because of this that I was not thrown, so my father later named me Ma Fengyu. ”
After hearing this, Xiong Yu laughed and said, "Then God saved your life." ”
Ma Fengyu nodded and said, "Brother Xiong Yu, you are right, my life was saved by God, so every New Year, I will put a lot of things to worship God." ”
Xiong Yu smiled and said, "Do you really believe that there will be a god in the sky?"
Ma Fengyu nodded seriously and said: "Our crops all rely on God to eat, if God doesn't give us food, then my family will starve to death." ”
Xiong Yu shook his head, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is really God, how can there be bad people in the world? If there is really God, then there should only be good people in the world." ”
Ma Fengyu sighed and said, "Do you think I look like a good person?"
Xiong Yu looked at this simple crop and said, "You don't look like it." ”
Ma Fengyu nodded and said: "No, you can only say that I am not like, I have been diligent in farming to support my family all my life, but I have done bad things, when my wife was sick and urgently needed silver, I stole other people's silver, I even robbed a single's silver, he had saved five years of silver from frugality, he could have married a wife, but because I robbed him of his silver, he can't marry a wife and have children now." ”
Xiong Yu was stunned, and Ma Fengyu continued: "Then do you think I'm a good person? I'm not a heinous bad person, nor am I a good person without filth, so do you think I'm a good person?"
Xiong Yu paused and said, "Me?"
Ma Fengyu nodded and said, "Haven't you done a bad thing or something immoral?"
Xiong Yu looked at his hands, he had killed people, he had killed many people who had no grudges against him when he was a killer in Swallow Valley, he always felt that he could not be regarded as a bad person, but if according to Ma Fengyu's words, then he could not be regarded as a good person.
Xiong Yu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Ma, if you say so, wouldn't there be no good people in the world?" ”
Ma Fengyu laughed and said: "Good people sometimes do some bad things because of some helplessness, but some bad things cannot be forgiven, if a person does something that everyone can't forgive, then this person can be called a bad person." ”
The carriage was still moving forward, Xiong Yu looked at the darkening sky and said, "Brother Ma, just park the carriage in the woods in front of you for a while." ”
Ma Fengyu nodded and said, "Okay, you wait in the carriage first, and I'll go pick up some firewood to light the fire." ”
Xiong Yu waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you, and I'm not a person who can't move with my hands and feet." ”
Ma Fengyu laughed and said, "You build a fire with a stone here, otherwise you won't be able to make a fire even if you have firewood." ”
The spark slowly burned, and the warm firelight gradually dispersed the cold wind around him, Xiong Yu rubbed his hands and said, "It would be good if there was wine to drink at this time." ”
Ma Fengyu laughed and said, "Brother Xiong Yu, don't say it, I really have it." Saying that, Ma Fengyu took out a sheepskin wine bag from his arms, Ma Fengyu patted the sheepskin wine bag and said: "This is filled with the osmanthus wine that my lady brewed for me before leaving." ”
Ma Fengyu pulled out the cork, took a sip, and then handed the wine bag to Xiong Yu and said, "If you don't dislike it, you can also take a sip." ”
Xiong Yu took a few sips of the wine bag and said, "It would be nice if I could live like you." ”
Ma Fengyu frowned and said, "Can't you decide how you want to live?"
Xiong Yu lowered his head and sighed: "I want to choose, but there are always people who don't let me choose." ”
Ma Fengyu shook his head and said, "I don't understand, why can't you decide your own life, is there anyone who will force you to live a life you don't want?"
Xiong Yu's eyes revealed a sense of helplessness: "Jianghu, this is Jianghu, if I hadn't stepped into the Jianghu, then I would definitely live the same life as you at this moment." ”
Ma Fengyu looked at Xiong Yu and said with concern: "Where are you going?"
Xiong Yu said in a deep voice: "Go to a dangerous place. ”
Ma Fengyu was puzzled: "Since you already know that this place is dangerous, why do you still want to go?
Xiong Yu shook his head and said, "No, never, if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”
Ma Fengyu relied on his own understanding and said, "Could it be that there are your relatives in that dangerous place?"
Xiong Yu nodded and smiled: "If there was no such person, there would be no me now, so I will go no matter where that place is dangerous." ”
Ma Fengyu added a few sticks of firewood to the fire and said: "Brother Xiong Yu, although I don't know what happened to you, I know that you must be a very affectionate person, and I admire your courage." ”
Xiong Yu got up and took out the last fifty taels of silver on his body from the carriage, and then he walked up to Ma Fengyu and said, "Brother Ma, this is for you." ”
Ma Fengyu looked at the fifty taels of silver in Xiong Yu's hand and said, "Brother Xiong Yu, what are you doing here?"
Xiong Yu put the silver in front of Ma Fengyu and said, "Take this silver and go back to buy some delicious food for your children." ”
Ma Fengyu shook his head and said, "I can't ask for your silver." ”
Xiong Yu waved his hand and said: "If I don't go back this time, then these silver will be of little use to me, but these silver can help you, in this case, why don't I do it?"
Ma Fengyu couldn't help but say after listening to Xiong Yu's words: "Is that place really so dangerous?"
Xiong Yu nodded and said, "I'm afraid it can be regarded as the most dangerous place in the world, I really can't think of any other place that can close that place." ”
Ma Fengyu said suspiciously: "Is there such a place in the world?"
Xiong Yu didn't speak anymore, he turned around and went back to the carriage, he suddenly thought of another question, his father Xiong Zhengfei was chased to death by the dark river, if he could really see the leader of the dark river, then whether he wanted to shoot at the leader of the dark river, and if so, what chance did he have? Thinking about it, Xiong Yu fell asleep.
