Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Another few days passed.

The ship sailed eastward, passing through Yuzhou, Fengdu, Fengjie, Wushan and Jingzhou successively.

And Sun Baotou is indeed a veteran who has been in the shipping industry for decades.

The time was neither too much nor too little.

On the fifth day, they arrived in Yueyang.

Yueyang City, also known as Baling County, is located on the bank of Dongting Lake and embraces the four rivers of Xiao and Xiang. It is adjacent to the Yangtze River and can connect to all corners of the world. Since ancient times, it has been known as the first city along the Yangtze River.

Chenshi.

Clear skies.

At the ancient ferry outside the north gate of Yueyang City, thousands of ships were competing to pass by, along with countless cargo ships and fishing boats. The large ship slowly moored at the ferry pier.

Beimen Ancient Ferry was built in the late Tang Dynasty.

It has a history of more than one thousand years.

Over the past thousand years, this ancient ferry has witnessed the prosperity of Yueyang City. Thirty years ago, it was one of the earliest trading ports.

Therefore, it is even more prosperous now.

Chen Yulou, who was standing on the bow at the moment, glanced over and made a rough estimate that there were about three to five hundred ships docked there every day.

This number is already extremely terrifying.

Even in Shanghai and Jinling City, which are also located on the river, the port transportation volume is barely over a thousand. As for Xunyang City, which is also a trading port, when they passed by that day, they only saw one or two hundred ships at most.

Oh oh oh!

Just when he was feeling emotional.

The big ship docked at the pier with a clang, and a low whistle sounded from the bow.

“Here we are!”

"Mr. Chen."

"Old Sun, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission and not wasted your time."

Sun Baotou came out from underneath, holding his pipe. When he saw others, he bowed and smiled.

A full half month.

It is more than a thousand miles from Qingcheng Mountain to Yueyang City, which is not fast, but the sailing and water transportation are still acceptable.

The key is not whether it is fast or slow.

But this period of time is definitely a rare leisure time for the group.

"Thank you so much for all the help along the way, Boss Sun."

Looking at the familiar ancient city, Chen Yulou's heart was also filled with emotions.

Although it wasn't from here last time.

But over the years, I don’t know how many times I have walked across the Beimen Ferry.

Now that I am back in my old place, my mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts, just like the ebb and flow of the tide in the river behind me.

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite..."

Sun rubbed his head and hands, shaking his head.

He started working on a ship when he was in his teens and has met countless customers, but the number of those who are as gentle and kind as Mr. Chen can be counted on one hand.

Although he came from a wealthy family, he never looked down on poor people like them.

Secondly, his knowledge is so broad that even an experienced person like him cannot hide his admiration for him.

After talking with him, you will know that Mr. Chen is by no means the kind of person who has superficial skills acquired from books. As the old saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you will never be able to be so detailed.

also.

Ever since he had a few words with Lao Er at the bow of the boat that day, it was like a seed was planted in his heart.

He observed calmly.

The changes in his body don't seem to be accidental.

At least it should be similar to what the second brother said, and it should be related to Mr. Chen and his group.

He had been suffering from rheumatism for many years, and he had taken countless herbal remedies and folk remedies, but nothing had worked. However, during the past half month, he felt as if he had gone back to thirty years ago.

Not only did I never feel pain again.

Even though I am busy every day, I can still be full of energy.

As for the situation of his sons, he saw it clearly, and they all seemed like different people.

"Mr. Chen, before we part, there is something that has been on my mind for a long time. I wonder if I can ask you."

Seeing that the old foreigner and others were already coming up from the lower cabin with their luggage, the eldest and the youngest were also building a bridge, preparing to lead the horses off the boat and into the ferry.

Sun Baotou knows that time waits for no one.

He gritted his teeth.

In the end I couldn't hold it back.

just.

Before he could finish his words, Chen Yulou, who was standing on the side of the boat with his hands behind his back, gazing at the ancient city of the ferry, seemed to have noticed something, turned around, and looked at him with a smile.

His eyes were clear, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"If Chen is not mistaken, Boss Sun wants to ask about his old illness?"

"This……"

Seeing him tell the truth.

Sun Baotou was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue speaking the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"Captain Sun, don't think too much. Chen and his friends are not extraordinary people. They have just walked more roads and seen more of the world than others."

"Chronic illnesses will eat away at your body over time, and that's not a good thing."

"Just think of it as a small blessing from Chen to Sun."

Chen Yulou did not hide it.

It's just mentioned in another way.

For ordinary people, practicing Buddhism and meditating on enlightenment is still too far away.

He had also observed during this period that Sun Baotou and his four sons did not have the aptitude for cultivation, otherwise he would not have hesitated to take them to see the scenery outside the door.

"Really..."

"It's really Mr. Chen."

"I knew it. Mr. Chen is kindhearted and not an ordinary person. But how can I repay his kindness?"

Although Sun Baotou's vision was limited due to his status, he was smart, otherwise he would not be able to support such a large family in such a chaotic world.

Although Chen Yulou's words sounded mysterious.

But he understood it immediately.

This is not just a small fortune, it is clearly a blessing of rebirth.

How could a common man like him get sick? He had seen too many sailors whose bones were filled with dampness, and who ended up with a miserable end in their old age.

Medicine is difficult to cure, and decoctions are not enough.

When it rained or snowed, I was in so much pain that I couldn't even stand up. I could only suppress the pain with the help of opium or even rusty nails.

But once you get addicted to opium, your family will be destroyed.

As for the rusty nails, what’s the difference between that and swallowing poison?

"Sun, you're too polite."

"Meeting each other is fate."

Chen Yulou shook his head. To him, this was indeed just a trivial matter.

After all, green lamps and incense burners help with spiritual practice.

Even if it wasn't Sun Baotou and his grandchildren, they would have been replaced by someone else.

"Mr. Chen, you are so kind..."

Seeing that the eldest brother and the youngest had already helped to lead the horses off the boat, and Partridge Whistle and a few others had also walked along the wooden bridge into the ancient ferry, Sun Baotou couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Youngest, Boss, you two come here."

"Kowtow to Mr. Chen and express your gratitude."

Although they didn't understand what was going on, they believed their father's words were his will. Without any hesitation, the two men stepped forward and knelt down.

This scene left Chen Yulou speechless.

Even the tenants in Chenjiazhuang never accepted this.

What’s more, there are Sun Baotou and his son.

He immediately took a half step sideways, reached out and held the wrists of the two men, preventing them from going any further.

Not to mention the youngest son of Sun Baotou, the eldest son is older than him.

If he kneels down, won't it shorten his life?

"Boss Sun, you are too polite. Why do you have to do this?"

"But……"

Head Sun was even more anxious. Although he came from the market, the most important thing for him was to repay a drop of kindness with a spring. But now Mr. Chen refused to accept it, and he could not think of a better way to repay him.

The old man was so anxious that he didn't know how to start.

"No need but."

"Boss Sun, it's not a pity that we met."

"If we are destined to meet again someday, I will ask Sun Baotou for a bowl of wine."

Don't give him the opportunity to kowtow again.

Chen Yulou walked across the wooden bridge with his hands behind his back, and in a blink of an eye he appeared in front of Kunlun and his companions. He smiled at the old porter at the side of the ship across the dock.

"Okay! Okay!"

"Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, there will definitely be enough drinks!"

Sun Baotou, who has lived a lifetime, now has red eyes and surging hearts, feeling indescribable emotion.

Hear the words.

Chen Yulou nodded and smiled.

No more hesitation.

He called a few people beside him, and they jumped on their horses and followed the Yangtze River embankment. A few dozen miles ahead they would reach the vast Dongting Lake, the Sanjiang Ferry, and Xiangyin.
