[Legend of the White Snake] Leifeng Pagoda

20

More than ten days later, they were still on their way by water.

Bai Suzhen didn't faint in the water, but she fainted on the boat, vomiting non-stop, but the places where the boat stopped every day were limited, so she had to vomit all the way.

Especially there were many people on this boat, the boat owner was greedy for money, so the whole boat was full of people, the smell was so bad that Bai Suzhen was even more reluctant to go out, and just stayed in the room.

In order to save money, she and Qingling lived in the same room. Bai Suzhen used to collect some human coins just for fun, but they were just the same and never took more.

Now that they came out, they were really penniless, even the boat fare was hard to come by, and Xu Xuan had to rely on Xu Xuan for the daily expenses.

Bai Suzhen kept boasting about how good Xu Xuan is, but Qingling recognized it at a glance, it was only temporary, Bai Suzhen didn't see it, Xu Xuan had long been playing with them, the jade on his body, etc., everything that can be exchanged for money place, I am afraid that the money will not be recovered.

It's just that if they didn't go with Xu Xuan, how could they spend this money, the boat staggered for a day, it didn't need half a day for them, and it was more comfortable, Bai Suzhen wouldn't spit like this.

There was a loud bang, and the boat seemed to hit something, making the already swaying boat even more wobbly, as if it was about to capsize at any moment.

Qingling opened the window and looked outside. It was another big boat, twice the size of this one. Since the river was narrow, this boat should have wanted to avoid it just now, but the boats on both sides were too big, especially this one. The ship was also overloaded, making it difficult to control, and accidentally collided with the other ship.

Being able to use such a large boat in such a narrow river channel shows that the other party has absolute confidence that other boats can make way for them, especially the people on board, each of them is like a Hercules, with muscles bursting, strong and powerful, casually One of them can scare the boatman, not to mention that they all hold weapons tightly in their hands.

"It's a water thief..." Qingling could hear the shouts from outside even in the house, and with the screams, everyone on the boat was extremely uneasy.

Many people even hid directly in the room, locked the door, and even didn't feel at ease. They hid in hidden places such as the bottom of the wardrobe and the bed, trembling all over, hoping that they could escape this catastrophe.

Naturally, Qingling and Bai Suzhen were not afraid of these things, even because the boat stopped, Bai Suzhen's original discomfort was relieved a lot, and she was able to come over and ask Qingling what happened.

After learning that it was water thieves, the two silently looked out the window to see what those water thieves were after.

The opponent's boat seemed to be very heavy. Obviously theirs was overcrowded, but the draft was not as deep as that of the opponent's. It seemed that there must be some heavy items transported in the cabin.

"Why don't we go to the other party's boat and see what's there?" Bai Suzhen suddenly became curious. It may take a long time to watch the boat owner negotiate with the other party. Just charge a fee.

Qingling glanced at the bow of the boat, it would indeed take a long time, "Let's go."

Even with so many guards on board, it is not difficult for them to enter the ship.

The two turned into small snakes and entered the water, then slowly swam to the bottom of the boat, looking for a place to enter directly.

Compared with the large group of guards above, the bottom of the ship was filled with all kinds of boxes, and there was almost no room to stand.

After finally being able to stand inside, Bai Suzhen looked at the big boxes curiously, but couldn't help opening one to see what was inside.

It's just that when they opened it, both of them were a little scared. This is...gold? !

"Why so much gold?" Bai Suzhen asked in disbelief. If she used to be so frightened, but these few days after living in poverty, even goblins have to admire the importance of gold and silver, but these days they The silver that they saw the most was silver, but it was still full of boxes of gold, which made them surprised.

Qingling opened another box to have a look, "This box is silver."

The boxes of gold and silver items looked radiant, even if the light in the cabin was not good, it couldn't affect their brilliance.

With such a huge amount, it is no wonder that the ship is so heavy and the draft is so deep. It is not surprising if this box is full of gold and silver.

"Qingqing, why don't we get some?" Bai Suzhen suggested, these days she has been suffering to death, Bai Suzhen has never been bothered by money, but these days when she comes to life in the world, she has to spend everywhere, she really can't change it. The money will be returned.

Qingling had this plan in the first place. Since it was a water thief, the money must not be very clean. In this case, it is better for them to accept all of it.

And... Seeing that Xu Xuan is also a greedy person, if the money can attract him to play more with Bai Suzhen, that would be great.

Qingling has never put Xu Xuan in her eyes, but since Bai Suzhen likes it, then let's play with her more. You can't compare a monster with a human, let alone Xu Xuan is an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary, and a male favorite Well, no matter it's a plaything, Qingling never takes him seriously, it's only Bai Suzhen who finds him interesting.

"Well, take it all away, forget about the box." Qing Ling smelled the paint smell on the box, but felt it was very pungent, and she didn't know why humans would like this smell, and it didn't look very good.

Bai Suzhen originally only wanted to take some away, but she didn't expect to take all of them away, but she didn't hesitate too much, and nodded directly in response, "Okay, but what should I put in this box?"

Otherwise, the boat will become lighter all of a sudden, and it will be discovered soon.

"Fill it with water, this is much simpler." Qingling directly sourced materials from the local area, and the two worked together, one collecting money and the other filling water, so that the weight would not change all of a sudden.

When they came back from work, they found that the ship had started to leave. It seemed that the negotiation between the two parties was over.

Bai Suzhen and Qingling glanced at each other, quickly caught up with their original boat, and returned to the room, just like before, even the clothes on their bodies were completely dried out.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Suzhen couldn't help laughing, this feeling of doing bad things was much more fun than she was playing tricks on those pilgrims in the Shangqing Palace.

Qingling couldn't help curling her lips. The world is indeed much more interesting than the mountains. I don't know if it's because of their short lives or their unique creativity. Everything is much fresher than the Red Tomb.

And the boatman yelled at the passengers, and then set off to set off. They had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky. When they encountered water robbers, even the government could not deal with them. They had to admit it.

But fortunately, this time the pirates didn't know what to do, they were in such a hurry that they had no time to deal with them, and the money for food was also less, otherwise, it would be a hemorrhage as usual. In vain, it may be upside down again.
