"Boatman..., wait... a... wait..."

The figure rushing out of the darkness was getting closer and closer, about sixty or so, thin, with a goatee on his chin, and a tattered bag on his shoulder. .Holding a piece of banana leaf with both hands to barely keep out the rain, the whole body is almost soaked.After getting closer, Mu Feng took a closer look, it was not someone else, but the businessman Li Qingfu who had met once at the Maguan Inn, the old man known as Li Lao!

"It's full, you can find another boat and get on the road at dawn!"

The boatman's face turned cold, and he pushed hard on the bamboo pole in his hand, and was about to drive the boat away.In the middle of the night, suddenly a stranger rushed out of the darkness to board the boat, and everyone was secretly vigilant.

"Master Mu, hey, isn't that Mr. Mu? Wait for me, Mr. Mu, wait for me..."

Old man Li is old, but his eyes are very sharp, and he saw Mu Feng sitting in the cabin at a glance, shouting loudly from a distance, clenching his teeth while shouting and rushing over.When I was about to reach the shore, I accidentally stepped on a slippery and wet piece, and fell to the ground with a 'snap', and almost rushed into the river with a dog eating shit.

"Master Mu, do you know each other?"

The boatman Old Man Tang stopped suddenly, turned around and asked Mu Feng on the boat, his voice was already hoarse and low, and it sounded a bit harsh.Seemingly surprised, he never thought that the old man Li who rushed out of the darkness actually met Mu Feng on the boat.

"That's it!"

Mu Feng shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't expect to meet Old Man Li here.

The sudden change of the water route is to surprise the people, avoid the eyes and ears of Immortal Sword Gate and Master Blind, and arrive at Jianshui City safely. At this time, I really don't want to show my face and reveal my whereabouts, and I don't want to have another stranger on board.But thinking about the kindness and care of the old man Li when he passed by Qingshakou, seeing that he was so downcast at this time, he was suspicious and at the same time a little uncomfortable to directly refuse.

"Okay, then get on the boat and let's go on the road together!"

The boatman Old Man Tang pondered for a moment, then quickly punted the boat to the shore and asked the embarrassed Old Man Li to upload.

"Thank you boatman, thank you Mr. Mu!"

After getting into the cabin, old man Li kept on thanking him, wiped the rainwater off his face, opened the package and wanted to change into dry clothes.Unexpectedly, the clothes in the package were already soaked through.Looking at the wet package, he smiled wryly, "God, it's been raining for so long and it's getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, after squatting here for almost a day and a night, I finally arrived at the boatman. Hey, yes, Mu Young master, why are you in the middle of the night..."

Old man Li has traveled all over the world for many years, and he is extremely talkative. Before anyone could ask questions, he asked Mu Feng instead, with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm in a hurry and have to rush to Jianshui City, there's no way!"

Mu Feng said lightly, looking at the drenched old man Li, he turned around and said, "Old Li, what about you? Why didn't you sell goods after Qing Killuu said goodbye, but came here alone? "

"Oh, it's hard to say!"

Old man Li shook his head, sat down opposite Mufeng, looked at the boatman standing outside in the rain and the night on both sides of the river, sighed and spoke slowly.

It turned out that during the battle between Qing and Shoukou, he hid under a carriage and was accidentally knocked unconscious by the falling cargo.As a result, in the end, he escaped by luck.After waking up, looking at the canyon full of corpses, he didn't even want the goods sold along the way, and quickly hid as far away as possible.The goods were gone, the entanglement was gone, and all the companions in the same company were unfortunately killed. In desperation, they had to go to Jianshui City to join a distant relative.

Along the way, he had a picnic and slept in the open, and after exhausting his words, he took a ride to the nearby area.Others stopped walking, so he had to continue walking.It is difficult to travel by land, and I don't know when I can get to Jianshui City by walking on two legs, so I have no choice but to take the water route instead.Under the kind instructions of passers-by, I went all the way to Hewei Village by the river to try my luck and see if I could catch a boat with good wind.As a result, I squatted by the river for almost a day and a night without encountering a boat passing by.In the middle of the night, after hearing the movement, I got out of a nearby cave and saw someone boarding the boat, so I rushed over in the rain.

"Mr. Mu, you are really a noble man of my old man, thank you, thank you so much!" Old man Li sighed and hurriedly thanked, "Early this morning, when I got up, I saw a magpie sitting on a branch and calling. Go, I knew I was lucky today, and I would definitely meet a nobleman. As expected, I will meet you again, Young Master, here!"

"Meeting is fate, Mr. Li, you are too polite!"

Mu Feng smiled lightly, on the surface he was calm, but secretly he raised his vigilance.

Old man Li's words sounded flawless, and there were no flaws to be found, but they met here suddenly in the middle of the night, which was too coincidental and full of doubts.

But he focused on sensing, and felt no danger on him.This old guy has no weapons on his body, and there is no power fluctuation in his body.Apart from being shrewd and talkative, he is no different from ordinary old men.It seems that it is really just an ordinary merchant, and it is really just a coincidence that it is just a coincidence, which is secretly surprising.

"Mr. Li, this is dry food. You have to taste it. This robe belongs to brother Mufeng. You can see if it fits. You are old and you have to be careful when you go out. If you accidentally catch a cold after being exposed to the rain, then Trouble!"

Jing Wubin said as he took out some dry food and a piece of clothing from the package, and handed them to the drenched old man Li.

Although I also secretly doubted his arrival, but no matter what, a lot of people are still running around outside at a very old age, and it is pitiful to be in such a state of desperation.

"Thank you, thank you son! Good people are rewarded with rewards, and the two sons will have a safe and happy life in the future!"

Old man Li took the robe from Jing Wu's hands, and quickly changed his wet coat.He has been in business for many years, and his eyes are so vicious, he can see through Jing Wushuang's daughter at a glance, but he is old and sophisticated, so he doesn't tell.

"Happy and happy?"

Jing Wushuang murmured softly, glanced at Mu Feng who was sitting beside him like a log, and leaned over on the rucksack.

Maybe it's a serious injury that hasn't healed, maybe it's because I finally breathed a sigh of relief after boarding the boat, and I feel extra tired.Soon, he fell asleep on his backpack.After wolfing down a few pancakes, the down-and-out old man Li also fell asleep in the cabin.Soon, he started snoring. It seemed that he was really exhausted.

The river was very fast, and the small wooden boat left Hewei Village far behind in a short time.Slowly, the rain gradually decreased.After putting a coat on the sleeping Jing Wushuang, Mu Feng came outside the cabin, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river with the help of the hazy moonlight, without feeling sleepy.

"Master Mu, be careful with this old man!"

The old man Tang, the boatman who had been taciturn since boarding the boat, suddenly whispered something in Mu Feng's ear, and then kept his head down without saying a word, and continued to row the boat silently.
