When the boat stopped on the shore, Gu Lin and Chu Qinghe immediately ran over, but saw that the boat was not too small strictly speaking, about two zhang long and six or seven feet wide, and there was a black canopy in the middle and back, and it was not a problem to visually stand for seven or eight people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The rower was an old man, with his trouser legs rolled up and barefoot, not tall but his bare muscles were very developed, and he had obviously been doing this for many years.

He had a straw hat on his head, and he couldn't see clearly, and after lowering the long oars and parking the boat, he sat down in the bow and lit himself a bag of dry tobacco.

Hearing this, the old man raised his head, revealing a dark face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles under the straw hat, he glanced at Ah Xiu and Chu Qinghe, his eyes showed a little surprise, and after exhaling the choking smoke in his mouth, he said in a hoarse voice: "I am ferrying, but this time is too late, and I will not go out again." ”

Feng Qiu is not far away, and Chu Qinghe frowned, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and said softly: "Old man, do you think this will work, I have two hundred taels of silver here, as long as you bring us to Xianwang Island, this money is yours." In these days, this money is not a small amount, and with him, you can enjoy your old age comfortably. ”

Hearing this, Ah Xiu hurriedly said: "Old man, we have urgent matters, please be accommodating, and be convenient for others and yourself." In this way, no matter how much money you usually charge, I will give you three times, is this feasible?"

The old man groaned for a while and said: "It's not a matter of money, the key is that it's too late, and I'm afraid it's not peaceful to go to sea at this time." I can't cost the three of us our lives for such a small amount of money, or else, you wait first, I'll send you out early tomorrow morning, and I won't charge you a high price, okay?"

Although he knew that what the old man said was reasonable, Ah Xiu was concerned about He Zhen's injury, and he really couldn't wait for a moment, so he frowned and said: "Old man, we are really in a hurry, the problem of money is easy to discuss, you can ask for as much as you want, what do you think?"

"This" the old man shook a little, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but from here, there are seven or eight islands near and far, and there are people on them, which one are you going to?"

Feng Chu Qinghe's eyes rolled and said, "Old man, let me ask, who else is in your family?"

The old man's whole body trembled when he heard this, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "No, I can't play in that place." Not to mention now, I don't dare to go even during the day. ”

Ah Xiu and Chu Qinghe glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, it seemed that Qi Wangkong was not lying, that Immortal King Island was probably really a place of right and wrong.

The old man's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said a little desolately: "My wife has been dead for many years, one of the two sons went to the battlefield and has not come back yet, and the other is missing, I don't know where I went. Now I'm an old bachelor, making do with a mouthful of food, and I'll die early and take care of my life. ”

Chu Qinghe frowned, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and said softly: "Old man, do you think this will work, I have two hundred taels of silver here, as long as you bring us to Xianwang Island, this money is yours." In these days, this money is not a small amount, and with him, you can enjoy your old age comfortably. ”

Just when the old man was imagining a better life in the future, Chu Qinghe saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was afraid of the lack of money, so he immediately took out another silver ticket and said, "Now it's four hundred taels, it's enough for you to be a little rich man, it's all right." ”

The old man's thoughts were pulled back by Chu Qinghe's words, and he pinched his thigh violently, making sure that he was not dreaming, and immediately said, "Okay, for the rest of my life, I will fight it." If you pass safely, I will only charge you two hundred taels. If something happens, I don't care, anyway, this day is almost over. ”

Seeing that the old man agreed, Ah Xiu was overjoyed and gave Chu Qinghe a thumbs up to express his praise, and Chu Qinghe also pulled it up, with the same chin, looking proud.

"Yes, if there are no poor people, everyone can eat, then there will be no more wars, and the world will be really peaceful." Chu Qinghe also felt it.

In the humble cabin, Gu Lin and Chu Qinghe sat down side by side. Smelling the strong smell of seawater, Gu Lin said with a smile: "A princess is a princess, and she doesn't take money seriously at all, it's amazing." ”

Chu Qinghe replied: "Money doesn't have much concept for me at all, and there is never a shortage of money anyway. Besides, if you can be kind to others and use the money on the people who switch, then it really makes sense. ”

"If all the rich people think the same way as you, then the world will be in the balance. Ah Xiu said from the bottom of his heart, at this moment, he was in awe of Chu Qinghe.

"Yes, if there were no poor people, everyone would be able to eat, then there would be no more wars, and the world would really be peaceful. Chu Qinghe also felt it.

Ah Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm just talking about it casually, you don't have to think about it, after all, there are still a few people like you and me." I can see through it now, and the reason why you beat me and I beat you is because of some illusory power struggle. As long as there are people in this world, there will be no end to war. ”

When Ah Xiu said this, Chu Qinghe was also silent, and sighed secretly in his heart, why is human nature so sinister, is power and money so important, must it be more attractive than living a happy life, and having a healthy family

For a while, the atmosphere in the small cabin became extremely depressing. Ah Xiu didn't want to go on like this, so he changed the topic and said, "Princess Qinghe, you didn't bring less money this time, how much is it, tell me." ”

Chu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, touched his money bag stupidly, and said softly: "I don't know very well, I just took a little casually, but there should still be tens of thousands of taels." ”

"Tens of thousands of taels are still a little" Ah Xiu's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Princess Qinghe, your royal family is really rich, and you can buy a county with a casual move, amazing." ”

Chu Qinghe shook his head ignorantly and said, "It's not much, many princes and ministers are very rich, and my imperial brother cares about me very much, so he will give me silver tickets regularly." ”

Feng Buqiu is not cool, he is too secret, Xing Buxing Leng Chu Qinghe frowned, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and said softly: "Old man, you see if this will work, I have two hundred taels of silver here, as long as you bring us to Xianwang Island, this money is yours." In these days, this money is not a small amount, and with him, you can enjoy your old age comfortably. ”

"Hey," Ah Xiu let out a long sigh and said meaningfully, "This is the origin of decay, look at this old man rowing a boat, he is still busy with three meals and food at such an old age, and he can spare his life for a few hundred taels of silver." But what about you nobles, from the emperor to the ministers, which one of you is not a bulging money bag. There are really what kind of masters there are, and what kind of courtiers there are, and they have become a nest of bad. ”

"You are not allowed to say that about my imperial brother. Although he felt that Ah Xiu's words made some sense, Chu Qinghe was still dissatisfied with him insulting his imperial brother.
