The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Jiang Ning had asked him to take a detour here before, saying that he had something to do. The boatman thought it would take at least half a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded and stepped onto the boat.

At this moment, he was dressed neatly, with his hair neatly draped behind him, and it was completely impossible to tell that he had just experienced a battle.

"Let's go."

"okay!"

The boatman shouted, rowed the boat, and the boat moved slowly.

Two days later.

"Sir, I can only send you here."

The boatman docked at the riverside, with Jiangning Road on the opposite bank.

"If you want to go to Jinan Prefecture by water, you have to cross the mountains ahead and take another boat there."

"Thank you."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Have a safe trip, young master." The boatman waved to Jiang Ning cheerfully, and rowed happily back the way he came.

After saying goodbye to the boatman, Jiang Ning turned and walked forward.

Two days passed in a flash. After walking for two days, Jiang Ning saw a village before sunset.

The houses in the village are neatly arranged in an orderly manner. Smoke rises from the roofs of every house. Small paths crisscross the fields. Some farmers are carrying their farm tools and chatting and laughing as they prepare to go home.

Some children were laughing and playing in the open space in front of the village, and a few old people were lying on chairs and resting comfortably.

Seeing the village, Jiang Ning walked straight forward. He planned to stay there for one night and continue his journey tomorrow.

"A few elderly people."

Jiang Ning came to the front of the village and said to the old men, "I am passing by here and it is getting late. I would like to stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. Is it possible?"

One of the old men opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning after hearing his voice.

"Young man, where are you from and where are you going?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I came from Yangzhou City and planned to visit Jinan Prefecture."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning pointed in a direction.

Unexpectedly, the old man shuddered when he saw the direction he pointed.

"You want to go over there?"

Seeing how nervous he was, Jiang Ning was a little confused, but he still nodded.

"Ah."

The old man looked at him strangely.

"Young man, please take a detour. You can't go there."

Chapter 283: How could Ning Yanwang come to Jiangnan to suppress us?

"why?"

Jiang Ning was surprised for a moment.

"There are bandits over there."

The old man didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized.

He thought the old man was trying to warn him that there were wild beasts in the mountains over there, but he didn't expect that there were bandits blocking the road.

"A few bandits, it's okay."

"How many? A lot!"

The old man looked at Jiang Ning speechlessly: "Do you think there are only a few? Even if there are only a few of you who dare to cross the mountain, you will lose your life!"

Jiang Ning didn't say anything about the old man's doubts about him, but he became interested when he heard these three words a lot.

"A lot? How many? Where are they located?"

"Why are you asking this? Are you going to visit someone?"

Seeing that Jiang Ning still looked like he didn't know whether to live or die, the old man said again.

Jiang Ning laughed when he heard this and raised the sword at his waist.

"I'll help you deal with these bandits."

"You're not old, but you're still pretty arrogant."

The old man rolled his eyes, looked Jiang Ning up and down, and said, "I see that you are weak and you don't look like an ordinary person, so you must be from a wealthy family."

Jiang Ning's appearance was not only extremely confusing to the enemy, but even other people thought he was not good at fighting.

Even the sword on Jiang Ning's waist was considered a decoration by the old man.

Hearing the old man say this, Jiang Ning did not make any excuses.

The old man continued, "You are traveling alone, and you don't have any followers. Going over there is just seeking death."

"You still want to kill them, don't risk your life. I have already advised five people like you."

In addition to Jiang Ning, the old man had met many young men like Jiang Ning who dressed up to go out for fun. Some of them listened to advice and took a detour, while some were stubborn and refused to listen no matter what. They went to the mountain even though they knew there was a tiger there.

The old man was kind-hearted. Even though he had only met Jiang Ning once, Jiang Ning was a little stubborn. He advised earnestly: "You young people, after hearing the stories of chivalrous knights flying around in the rivers and lakes, your blood boils. You even carry swords with you, wanting to learn from those stories and do good deeds, but reality is very cruel."

"Okay, okay, I won't go."

Listening to the old man's long speech, Jiang Ning did not continue to argue.

"Ah."

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't think I'm asking you to take a long detour. Although it's a long detour, at least it's safe and you won't lose your life."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded without saying anything.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I think you are quite compatible. Why don't you stay at my house for a night? I won't charge you any money."

Jiang Ning bowed and said, "Thank you."

The old man put his hands behind his back and said to the other old men, "Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, Lao Liu, I'm going home first."

The other elders nodded and waved.

They also have to wait for their children to finish their farm work and come home together.

Jiang Ning followed the old man into the village.

"What's your name, old man?"

On the way, Jiang Ning brought up the topic.

"What's the point of being expensive? I'm not expensive at all."

The old man waved his hand.

"Just call me Lao Li."

Hearing the old man say this, Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.

After passing through a series of country paths, Jiang Ning followed the old man to a farmhouse.

The old man opened the door and walked in. Jiang Ning followed closely behind him and looked at the furnishings in the room.

Simple.

旧。

This is Jiangning’s impression.

"Have you eaten?"

The old man asked again at this time.

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"not yet."

The old man nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a pot of boiled vegetables and some vegetable dumplings.

"There's nothing to eat at home, don't mind."

Jiang Ning naturally didn't mind. He sat down at the table and ate with the old man while looking around the house.

The old man seemed to live alone, and there was no sign of anyone else living in the house.

Although Jiang Ning was a little confused, he didn't ask too much for fear of offending others.

After a simple meal, the old man took Jiang Ning to a house.

"This is my son and daughter-in-law's former room. No one lives there now. You can sleep here tonight."

"Thank you."

Jiang Ning thanked him and then asked, "Old man, are your son and daughter-in-law out?"

"died."

The old man said calmly.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.

"Feel sorry."

The old man shook his head without saying anything, and his mood did not change. He then walked out of the house and returned to his own room.

Looking at the dark environment in the house, Jiang Ning did not go to sleep right away, but came to the open space outside.

It was already night and the moon had climbed above the clouds. The moonlight was bright and sprinkled on the earth. Even at night it was not that dark outside.

Jiang Ning sat outside for a while and noticed a child peeking at him from the open space of the house next door.
