I Am Sanctified By Writing Books

"Old boatman, it was only twenty-five taels to cross the river last month, why is it only thirty taels this time!" Someone on the riverside said dissatisfied.

"Guest officer, don't you take a look, how many people want to cross the river this time? The old man's boat is so big, how can they all cross it? Only in this way can we cross the river more safely!" The ferryman shook his head and said.

Chu He looked around, and sure enough, although there were not many people around who wanted to cross the river, there were still about a dozen of them, and the ferryman's small sampan could hold five or six people, so he could only raise the price. up.

Although there may be a river god patrolling the river today, this ferryman is the only one who can safely ferry the guests to the opposite side, and has a high reputation in the local area, so it is normal for so many people to want to board the boat of.

"Hey, with such an expensive river crossing fee, I'd better wait for tomorrow's boat!"

"That's right, I managed to get enough of the river crossing fee. Who knew it would increase again, and I would only lose part of the benefits."

"Hey, let's go and wait for tomorrow's boat. Anyway, crossing the river is cheaper."

Several people who wanted to cross the river in a hurry turned back one after another, preparing to board the boat tomorrow.

"Thirty taels of silver, and you have to prepare your own food. When you come, it's more cost-effective to live in a first-class house on any boat." Chu He shook his head, but he still stepped on the boat.

Firstly, I am not short of that little money, secondly, I am homesick and want to go back early, thirdly, I am also a little curious about this so-called river god patrolling the river.

In the end, there were only three people on board, Chu He, and the two elder brothers who had communicated with him before.

"Guest officer, sit still!" The old boatman shouted, the penny tapped lightly on the pier, and the boat jumped a few meters away.

The space in the small boat was not large, and a black awning covered the three of them with a place that could keep out the rain, and the ferryman swung the oars at the bow.

"Hey, big brother, I heard you keep talking about the river god, the river god, have you seen what the river god looks like?" Chu He sat under the hood and asked the two big brothers.

"Who knows? Brother, you don't know. It is said that wherever the river god appears, it will rain mysteriously. At that time, the river is full of waves. Who dares to go out and see!" A man in his thirties Said.

"That's right, little brother, I heard that several boats crossed the river on the 15th day, but they accidentally blocked the way of the river god, and the boat was hit and sunk all at once. I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the river god." The bearded man also came over.

According to the current speed of sailing, it will take at least two days and one night before they can return to Pingyang City. There is no entertainment in this big fart place, and they can only rely on chatting and farting to relieve boredom.

Chu He, a novice who just came here, didn't know the recent legend of the river god, so he was caught by two people and explained to him, which also made him not so boring.

"Is there no one who can see the true face of the river god?" Chu He frowned and said.

"We're not sure about this. But I heard that this old boatman has been ferrying here for decades, and he seems to have met the river god before, but he is the only boat that hasn't had any accidents." The bearded man seemed to remember No matter what, she pouted towards the old boatman, "When meeting the river god, everyone usually hides in the cabin, but this boat has no place to hide, maybe the old boatman has seen it before."

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the old boatman who was listening to their chat while punting the boat at the stern.

"Well, although the old man escaped his life by chance in the hands of the Lord River God, but it was raining too much at that time, and it happened to be dark night, and the old man did not see the honor of the Lord River God clearly." The old boatman said with a smile.

"Then no one has ever seen the true face of the River God." The bearded man turned his head and said regretfully.

"Could it be that the so-called Lord River God is some fish and shrimp in Pingjiang who have become spirits?" Chu He raised a new question.

"Impossible! Lord River God is absolutely impossible to be a monster!" Before the two men could speak, the old boatman said.

"Monsters can eat people! But when Lord River God patrolled the river, except for sinking the boat that offended him, he didn't hurt anyone on purpose!" The old boatman emphasized.

"It seems to be the same. Those who fell into the water, except those who were particularly unlucky and drowned who couldn't swim, were basically rescued later, and no one was eaten or anything. , Lord River God is not a monster, right?" The man next to him thought for a while and said.

"As long as we don't eat people, we don't care if he is a river god or a monster, we should cross the river if we need to, and we don't need to worry about it here." The bearded man also said.

Chu He noticed that the old boatman breathed a sigh of relief after the two said that the river god is not a monster.

"It seems that there is something wrong with this ferryman!" Chu He thought to himself, and became vigilant.

Why is this old boatman the only one who can come and go unhindered in the huge Pingjiang? Why does this old boatman defend this so-called Lord River God so much?

If it wasn't for Chu He not feeling the yin energy from this old boatman, he might have suspected that this old boatman was controlled by ghosts and the like.

"Huh? Old boatman, what are you, why is the fishy smell so strong!" Suddenly, the bearded man saw a sack at the bow, and a bloody smell emanated from it.

Chu He's nerves tensed immediately, and he quietly put his hand on the sword hilt at his waist.

"Hey! There are some minced meat like beef offal that I bought. If you encounter the river god patrolling the river, you can throw it down and apologize to the river god. It is an apology. I pray that the river god can let go Pass us!" The old boatman said casually.

The bearded man is also a big-hearted person, he walked to the bow, opened the sack and took a look.

"Drink! Old boatman, you are really sincere to the river god! Beef offal, chicken and duck are better than what I eat during the festival!" The bearded old boatman said with a smile while looking at the stern of the boat.

"Isn't that right? Show some kindness to Lord River God, so that Lord River God can bless my old bone to cross the river safely!" The old boatman also laughed.

Chu He also breathed a sigh of relief, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword down. He thought that the sack contained corpses or something, and the old boatman was a person who specialized in ferrying passengers to the center of the river to sacrifice to the river god... …

It seems that he thought too much, Chu He said with a smile: "Old boatman, if we cross the river safely, can these meat treat us to a meal?"
