Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The boat fare for half a penny can be said to be very expensive.

Generally speaking, there are only a dozen copper coins to cross the river, and five hundred coins is equivalent to more than ten times.

The ink carp originally planned to swim there, but the Yangtze River is no bigger than the Qingjiang River, the water area is wider, and the current is more turbulent. It is a bit risky to learn how the water on the Qingjiang River pushes the wooden board.

Furthermore, Qingjiang was not afraid of being seen by people at that time, but now it is different-if it is seen, the troops on both sides of the strait will be frightened, and it will be bad if there is a fight.

This hidden worry did not disappear until Mo Li got on the ferry. Seeing how the "boatman" only took money and didn't care about the work, no one wanted to fight.But that's okay, Ayan Puka didn't know what he was planning, just looking at what happened to him at the Town God's Temple in Run County, it can be seen that he doesn't seem to be trying to cover up his "different appearance".

The world has always been in chaos and visions are rampant, and the people still believe in this.

——If a strange thing happened, it would be enough to panic people. If there is no follow-up and no one instigates it, everyone will gradually calm down after panicking.But if accidents happen one after another, and strange phenomena occur frequently, no matter how calm people are, they will not be able to sit still.

Meng Qi didn't calculate the matter of the solar eclipse, but Ayan Pukar's expression was already prepared.

Monster flood dragon, Tengu eclipse the sun...

If there are people on the surface of the river like walking on the ground, there will be no good words from gods and immortals. It is likely to say that you have encountered a demon and a ghost.

No matter how dark the sky is, no matter how good Meng Qi's martial arts are, how can it be guaranteed that no one will see such a wide river?There is no fog on the river, and they are not gods who can deceive their eyes.

They haven't arrived at Feihe Mountain yet, so what "big move" is waiting for them at Baobuqi's side!

So the two of them made up their minds and simply disguised themselves and took the boat.

It is not a secret that the troops of the Qi Dynasty smuggled goods here and sold them.This "reliance" is naturally the force in the hands, and it is as big as a deputy general and a general as small as a superintendent, and they don't have much loyalty to the court.

What Emperor Qi Yongchen received was a genuine mess, with a bright surface but dilapidated inside.

Just like the beams of a house that have been hollowed out, it is barely supported at present, and if something happens, the whole house will collapse.

Emperor Yongchen's health is even worse, how long he can live is unknown, and none of his younger brothers have become successful, so the second prince has a good heart and looks a little bit, but if he wants to stand alone or even become an emperor, then It was far away, at least it would take five or ten years of hard work, but Emperor Yongchen couldn't wait.

It's no wonder that Ayan Puka is full of confidence, the general trend of the world is on his side, it can be said that he has taken advantage of it.

Mo Li became worried when he thought about it.

Sorrow to sorrow, the road still has to be walked step by step.

Feiheshan is going, and Ayan Puka has to deal with it.

But the fare for crossing the river and the place to board the boat can be found out after careful inquiry, without much effort.

Disguise is a must. There is no news from the north and the south. After crossing the river, most people want to check their origins, but they can only find out about their crossing the river.Now that I have found the news of crossing the river, I feel that there is a "source". People who are not serious will not check it down at all, and those who are serious will be fooled by the disguise.

Especially for Mo Li Meng Qi, there is no need to change his appearance, just change his age.

Meng Qi even proposed to turn Mo Li into a middle-aged scribe and take a four-year-old child across the river.

This disguise is perfect, after all, no matter how easy it is, no one can shrink himself into such a small child, and even the bone shrinking skill can't do it.

But... the ink carp should not.

Holding a fat baby is better than holding a gerbil. A gerbil can be stuffed into a bamboo cup, but can a fat baby?

The fare for crossing the river is calculated on a head-by-head basis. It doesn’t matter if it’s a baby in your arms or an old man who walks tremblingly and loses his teeth and speaks out of breath.Meng Qi thought for a while, but he didn't agree. It's hard to say what Ayan Puka's layout in the south of the Yangtze River is. It took only 17 years for the Chu Dynasty to fall, and it was 26 years since Meng Qi abandoned his official position. There are many, but maybe you will meet one.

Meng Qi was "afraid" that others would remind Mo Li of his age, and if someone couldn't think about it, it would be even worse if he had painted the face of "Meng Guoshi".Simply solve the hidden danger at this time, and Meng Qi began to persuade the doctor to "grow old" with him.

That's right, they don't need to go through decades of ups and downs to grow old together, they can "grow old hand in hand" in the blink of an eye.

Ink Carp: "..."

Mo Li actually knows what he looks like when he gets old. When he thought he was a monster back then, who wasn't curious? He hid in Mr. Qin's bedroom when he was "nine years old". Qin Lu went to the clinic, looking in the mirror from a vigorous young man, a refined young man, a middle-aged literati who sees through the world, and finally an old man with white beard and white hair and wrinkled face.

Not only has he changed, but he has even thought about what clothes to wear at any age.

Qin Lu is a ready-made benchmark, and Mo Li unconsciously imitates his teacher. He thinks that it is most suitable for him to be like Qin Lu when he gets old.

This makes Moli look more like a hermit than the legendary Meng Guoshi.

Meng Qi was not the same, even though he found an old boy's robe and wore a worn-out book bag, there was no trace of desperation around him.When he met Mo Li for the first time in Pingzhou, he was even more detached due to his long absence from the world. Now more and more old people and old things are coming out, and under the influence of Mo Li, Meng Qi no longer suffers from the unforgetable love. Tormented by hatred and guilt, his demeanor and demeanor have a more decisive meaning.

Even though the boatman hadn't seen many big men, he could sense that Meng Qi's status was unusual.

However, those who secretly took the ferry to the south would not have their hearts turned towards the north, and the boatman had no scruples when speaking.

The water slapped on the side of the boat, and the boat began to shake from side to side. The three boatmen worked together, but the turbulence was still very large.

The old woman with the child was shivering in the cabin, chanting Amitabha and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The traveling businessman thought she was noisy, so he avoided going out a little bit. He peeked at the ink carp standing on the side of the boat, and was secretly surprised. You must know that for safety, the garrisons on both sides of the strait secretly do business with this kind of carp, which can only transport ten people at most. If the fishing boat is a big boat, God knows if there is any gunpowder hidden in it, and if it is sneak attacking across the sea.

It is said that it is a trip every three days, but the boat is too small, so the wind and heavy rain will not work.

The days to cross the river throughout the year are estimated to be dozens of days.

So although there was a Tiangou eclipse today, the weather was fine at night, and the boat would lose money if it crossed the river.

However, the "good weather" in the eyes of boatmen and traveling merchants is not so in the eyes of others.

It is the summer flood season, when the water volume is the largest and the most turbulent. Even if the boat is rowed steadily, the boat is shaking non-stop. .

The two old men stood straight on the side of the boat, showing no sign of timidity.

"I heard before that the life of the people in the south may not be better than that of the Qi Dynasty. I thought it was because the three kings of Chu and Chu fought for the name of orthodoxy and the people were exploited. I didn't expect..."

Scholars with a little background are actually sitting at home, and the disaster comes from heaven.

Emperors, generals, and common people have the same surnames. Why is it so difficult for people to live?

No wonder the teacher went back to the mountains and forests, and the genius doctor can't cure the world's diseases. After seeing the fall of the Chu Dynasty, he knows that the famous generals and the prosperity of the world can't save the people of the world.

If he hadn't known Meng Qi, Mo Li felt that he might abandon medicine and pursue literature, looking for someone with lofty ideals, taking advantage of the troubled times, to do something big to change the world.But this road has already been walked by Meng Qi, not to say that all the masters and emperors in the world are like Li Yuanze, but the people's hearts are changeable, and good policies for the country and the people are difficult to implement.

The masters of Taijing City have been changed again and again, there are countless generations of good ministers and famous ministers, and the national policy has changed again and again. The food, drink and clothing of the people are much better than those in ancient times, but the fact that life is like a mustard has not changed for thousands of years. Pass.

"Living in this world...is all about luck." Mo Li muttered to himself.

The people of the Qi Dynasty were displaced, and it can be said that the officialdom was unstable, the top and bottom were uneven, and natural and man-made disasters forced them to

What happened in the south really proved that even in the peaceful era, the family did not have to worry about food and clothing, and it still depends on luck to survive.

Meng Qi put his hand on Mo Li's shoulder, and in the eyes of others, it was a pair of old friends looking at each other silently.

Whether it is the storm in front of us or the unknown, we will always face it together.

The traveling businessman quietly retracted his head, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something, or he seemed to have something hidden in his heart, and he moved uneasily after sitting for a while.

The old woman kept her eyes closed and kept praying for God's blessing. The boatmen were all paddling outside the cabin, and only the old woman's emaciated grandson noticed the abnormal reaction of the traveling merchant.

This child is still young, so he may not be able to speak clearly. He is just the age who likes to open his eyes and look at everything around him. Looking at the traveling merchant now, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his strange behavior, it's just curiosity.

He didn't know how to hide it, and the traveling merchant immediately noticed it, and then gave the child a stern look.

"Wow--"

The cries startled those on board.

The boatman surnamed Chang shouted impatiently: "What's the matter? You made the baby cry. Do you want to cross the river? If someone finds out, you won't have enough heads."

Mo Li was a little puzzled. When he boarded the boat, he felt that the child seemed sensible and would not cry for no reason. There was no one else in the cabin. Could something have happened?

He stepped into the cabin, only to see the old woman coaxing the child tremblingly, begging the boatman for mercy: "The wind and waves are really too big, even the old man is afraid, how can the child not be frightened."

Mo Li saw that the child was holding on to the skirt of the old woman's clothes, and buried his head in her arms. He had also seen that the child was very close to the old woman before, as if he was a grandparent.A grandmother would not scare the children. The cabin is low and unlit, so they can't see outside at all. The children don't understand anything, and they won't be afraid of the boat capsizing like adults.

Thinking of this, Mo Li's eyes naturally fell on the traveling merchant.

The latter shrank his neck, with a smile on his face, and moved away from the grandparents and grandchildren in a timely manner, showing a bit of disgust.

Mo Li was thoughtful, and he had naturally heard the conversation between the traveling merchant and the boatman before, but neither of them had eyes in the back of their heads. I thought the traveling merchants were used to these boatmen extorting people who crossed the river.

Now think about it...

Mo Li didn't show any emotion on his face, as if he heard something, he came over to have a look, and went out again when he saw that there was nothing wrong.

Speaking of the bad smell in the cabin, it is normal for "scholars" not to want to come in.

The traveling businessman breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously reached out and pressed his arms.

Mo Li slowly walked to Meng Qi's side, and said via voice transmission: "That man seems to be weird."

He looks old, so he has to slow down when he walks and speaks, otherwise it would be too strange for an old man with gray beard and silver hair to walk steadily like a young man.

"Cough." Meng Qi's proficiency in pretending to be an old man is obviously higher than Mo Li's. When a cold wind blows from the river, he still coughs twice in a decent manner.

Ink Carp: "..."

If you are careless, it's the same as when you pretended to be shivering from the cold and forgot your teeth were chattering along with it.

"Brother Qixing, add more clothes."

"It's right to say that when you're old, you're not as good as you used to be."

Meng Qi suddenly found it interesting to call each other Biaozi with Mo Li.

According to the habits of the world, people should call each other Biaozi when they are adults, but Meng Qi has been called this by his friends and Li Yuanze for the first half of his life, and later he will instinctively resist when he hears his Biaozi.In addition, he intended to get closer to Mo Li, he called Doctor Mo on his lips, but he thought of A Li in his heart, and he knew him almost like people from the Jianghu, who didn't have the habit of taking the words, so they brought him over without knowing it.

Meng Qi, whose name is Qixing, was taken by Yin Qingheng, the Duke of Wei.

From the Book of Songs Daya, fighting with Qi Yang, Yuan Fang Qi Xing.

The word Qi can be interpreted as an ax-like weapon. Yin Qingheng chose the latter between "Wu Yang" and "Qi Xing". However, it means that everyone is fighting with each other and working together to move forward.

At the time when everyone made an oath to rise up and intend to change the dynasty, everything has not yet started...

Meng Qi rubbed his forehead and didn't want to think about it anymore, he only said via voice transmission: "I see that he seems to be hiding something, it's just a petty heart, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you and me."

A traveling merchant might be about to do some shady things, but when he suddenly sees Meng Qi Moli, who looks extraordinary in appearance, he immediately puts himself on guard.

"That's right, don't let him harm the grandparents." Mo Li said lightly.

Originally, he was not interested in what the traveling merchants were going to do. Everyone in the world had secrets, and they all felt that what he was doing was a big deal. As long as it didn't hurt the world, no one would care. To reduce his uneasiness, he had to let him fetch water from the bamboo basket and walk around without food.

Meng Qi also didn't take this person seriously, he and Mo Li stood by the side of the boat, looked at the river and told anecdotes about the past and present, in a manner that was elegant and elegant.

It's a pity to get old.

The boatman listened to it with great interest, and even speculated about the origin of the two in his heart.

After another quarter of an hour, the boat slowly docked.

As usual, we walked through the reed marshes, covered by tall grass and trees.

As soon as the boatman said hello, the old woman hurriedly got off the boat with her grandson trembling with her burden on her back.

The traveling merchant walked behind, and there were two other people dressed similarly to him by the river bank, sitting on three wooden boxes, and immediately opened the wooden boxes to the boatmen for inspection when they saw the boat approaching.

The boatman lit the lamp to check. At this time, Meng Qi hadn't gone far after getting off the boat. Although they tried to block the light by surrounding them, Meng Qi still took a rough look.

"It's silk and tea."

Mo Li nodded when he heard the sound, and walked forward slowly.

He and Meng Qi are both old people now, and they can't walk fast, and it's even more difficult for the old woman to drag a grandson.

I don't know what the psychology of the traveling businessman is, but he also slowly followed them.

After walking for about three miles, a dilapidated inn appeared in front of him.

I think it was originally a resting place for travelers and merchants when the water transportation was smooth. The scale of the building is not small. There are two floors and a large courtyard, which can accommodate NO.50 people.As a result, the north and the south are so divided, the business cannot continue, and the inn is dilapidated.

A middle-aged lady was leaning against the door of the inn, her face was extremely pale under the dim light of the lantern.

When she saw the figure approaching from Jiang'an, her eyes lit up, and she immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hot tea and hot water, hot soup and hot noodles...all of them are available. This is the only shop I have in the past dozen miles. All the guests come to the south. The price of the small shop is fair. Pay first and then stay in the shop. It's not overwhelming. Asking price... Hey, isn't this Mr. Huang Liu, you are here to run a business, and coincidentally, there is another room in the store that is still vacant."

The traveling businessman smiled and squeezed her wrist, and the shopkeeper smiled and pulled away skillfully.

"Miss Tao is used to joking, the upper house of your house means that the tiles are not leaking, the floor is not cracked, and nothing else."

"Hey, look at what you said, Mr. Huang Liu. Business is hard and the world is hard. I can only live in my ancestor's shop as a woman."

The shopkeeper's lady had a pleasant smile on her face, and the old woman held her grandson in her arms, hesitating for a while.

It's so dark, if you continue to walk down, you might meet a strong person, but in this wilderness, I'm afraid it's a black shop.

While the old woman hesitated, she saw the traveling businessman walking in, and Meng Qi Moli followed in. She gritted her teeth and protected her grandson into this broken inn.

Not to mention, although the tables and chairs at the counter are old and the paint is almost gone, there are everything that should be there.

Behind the counter is a row of wooden signs, clearly writing the prices of steamed buns, noodles, hot water, and wine.

The inn doesn't seem to serve anything else.

"The room costs ten copper coins a day, and there is no bedding inside, but it's hot today, so there's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with having a bed that can cover you from the wind, and you don't have to travel in the dark." The shopkeeper's lady giggled. It's high, but not low. If there's nothing in the house but a wooden bed, it's better than a firewood house.

The traveler asked for a bowl of hot noodle soup, hot water, and sifted hot wine.

The guy in the inn was tall, with a scar on his face, and he looked fierce.

The old woman didn't dare to look around, she grabbed her grandson tightly, followed Meng and Qi, paid the money and walked towards the house.

The man led the way with an oil lamp. To Mo Li's surprise, this man didn't look like a good person, and he was very careful in his work. Seeing that they were old and young, he even raised the light up and walked around The two cracked and sunken pits did not speak at the end, but only pointed to the two adjacent doors.

"It's Lian's son." Meng Qi said.

"External martial arts." Mo Li saw it more clearly.

The store lady is not ordinary either.

In the wilderness, a burly guy with five big and three thick, and a shopkeeper's lady who is a half-mature lady... Either it reminds people of a black shop, or a monster.

Of course, there are no monsters, as for black shops——

The ink carp didn't smell any bloody smell, neither in the store nor on the man.

This is a dilapidated, decayed and musty inn.

The sound insulation is poor, even if the door is closed, you can still hear the sound of the traveling businessman joking with the store lady while drinking.

In the room, as the store lady said, there is nothing but a wooden bed, and if you want to sit, you can only sit on the floor.

The cleaning is pretty good.

Mo Li heard a few words from the traveling merchants outside, and thoughtfully said: "This place should be a resting place for those who often cross the river."

When the troops of Qi Dynasty and King Jing were doing private business, the two parties should not meet each other, and only traveling merchants were allowed to come forward.These people have ties to the military camp, they can make money, but at the same time they have to carefully flatter and look forward to the boatmen. For example, this guy surnamed Huang talks frivolously and brags constantly in front of the shopkeeper's wife.

As soon as Huang Liu drank the wine, he drank until the second watch without knowing it.

"...Come on and make a lot of money, I won't do this business. If Mrs. Tao likes... likes me, let's go to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, set up a shop, and live a safe and secure life." Good day."

"Thanks to Liu Ye for seeing this, come and have another pot." The lady in the store just laughed, and didn't ask what it means to make a lot of money.

This is said as if there is some big business, otherwise it should be said that he has made enough money and saved enough money.

Ink carp lay on the wooden bed, frowning slightly.

Meng Qi beside him stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, and said with a smile: "The doctor has more wrinkles than me, why does he look younger than me? It's unreasonable!"

"The national teacher is old, and his eyesight should be dim. How can he see wrinkles?" Mo Li corrected.

"The doctor's words are wrong, I found it out."

"..."

The palms of the two were "discussing and fighting" as you came and went, and suddenly they stopped.

There was movement on the roof of the second floor.

A floor away, Meng Qi could still hear clearly, and a muffled voice asked, "Did the thing really be brought here?"

"Those traveling merchants come to this store. It is impossible to carry things in the goods, and they can only be traded here."

"Who's the guy who's hooking up with that bastard?"

"I... don't know. I only know that the appointment is today. Maybe the person who connected me has already left. He just hid the things in this inn, and the proprietress and the staff of this inn may know the inside story. Otherwise, let's go in and search carefully?"

"No need! Those who make big things don't care about small things, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, and set fire!"

The author has something to say: Mo carp:? ? ?I live in a hotel
