Bastards

The ferry is empty, the river is rolling, the surrounding fields are silent, and there are no traces of people...

Fan Lingxiu almost squatted on the floor crying in disbelief, he was so desperate!

Xie Cong also turned pale, his eyes were dull, and there was no way ahead, but what if?

Cui Yu, on the other hand, stood by the river, looking around, and clasped his hands, very calmly: "There is no one here, it doesn't mean there is no one around, you two don't worry."

Fan Lingxiu and Xie Congqiqi turned to look at him, their eyes filled with surprise: "You know this place?"

Cui Yu shook his head: "This is the first time."

The first time... No, it's the same. I'm not familiar with the place, so why don't I know each other?The two froze again.

Cui Yu stood still on the boulder, knowing the surrounding environment clearly, and then waved to Yang Xuan who was very interested in carrying the little tiger around the ferry: "Stop playing, we have to hurry."

Yang Xuan's sharp gaze immediately swept over him, how dare he tease him, this rabbit is getting bolder...

Yang Xuan's eyes are narrow and sharp, and there is a unique coercion when staring at people. Because he is still young, the fierceness in his bones can't be restrained completely, so this look is extremely fierce, especially scary.

Cui Mata was not afraid.Now that he is useful, it is impossible for Yang Xuan to kill him, and the next antidote will not come earlier in a month, so why can't he go back when Yang Xuan is mad at him?And he wondered if Yang Xuan liked to play this kind of game - the controlled person tried his best to beg him or piss him off in order to get rid of the control.

This is how I felt when I got the respite medicine this morning.Comparing with all kinds of imprisoning PLAY in the previous life... Cui Yu suddenly wanted to give it a try.

Yang Xuan looked at him with murderous eyes for a moment, but didn't do anything else, just threw the little tiger in his hand to the ground.

When the little tiger was picked up by Yang Xuan, it shrank like a quail and didn't dare to move. Now it can be regarded as falling to the ground, as if liberated, and ran towards Cui Yu with a meow and a cry.Perhaps the mood was too eager, the little tiger didn't spread his legs, his left front leg tripped over his right front leg and fell down, and he rolled to Cui Yu's feet.

Getting up dizzy, the little tiger was not shy, and circled around Cui Yu affectionately, pawing his leg to beg for caress, his tender little voice could be flattering or lingering.

Yang Xuan glared at the little tiger angrily, as if looking at a class traitor.

Cui Yu couldn't hold it back, he laughed out loud, picked up the little tiger, and scratched its chin: "Ah Chou is so good!"

"Meow——" The little tiger wagged his tail proudly after being praised.

Cui Yan curled up his mouth and stopped flirting with Yang Xuan. He hugged the little tiger and turned to call Fan Lingxiu and Xie Cong: "Get in the car, let's go to town."

"Town...on?" Xie Cong didn't react.

However, Fan Lingxiu followed Cui Yu's direction and saw something: "This place with a little grass... is the road?"

"The ferry is for business. No matter whether you are picking up goods or people, you have to send them here before you can get on the river." Cui Mata lifted the corner of his robe and got on the carriage. If it is not a town, it will be a small village."

……

This road covered with short grass is not very easy to walk, and it took a lot of time to walk all the way, but Cui Yu expected it well, at the end of the road, there was indeed a large-scale village.It is about close to the ferry. Although the village is not as large as a small town, it is as well-equipped as a small town. Inns, restaurants, teahouses, taverns, gold stores, and silver villages have everything a traveler needs.

With human smoke, everything will be easy to handle.

A group of people first looked for an inn, they wanted to go to the warm water tub to clean themselves from top to bottom, and then they wanted a table of meals to appease their bitter stomachs, and then they asked for news.

Encountering an accident, Fan Lingxiu lost all his money and felt very insecure, and desperately wanted to return to his homeland in Chang'an; Xie Cong held his mansion newspaper and had a hard journey all the way, but also returned home; Yang Xuan wanted to find out the ghost, Find the safest contact person as soon as possible, Changan is the safest with many people; Cui Yu sympathizes with Yang Xuan's troubles, he can't stay in one place for a long time, and wants to leave early... Everyone has the same idea, even if the small village is very comfortable, No one wants to stay here any longer.

It was getting late, and after inquiring about the news, the tea house was not as good as the tavern. Several people asked Xiao Er for the name of the shop, and they went all the way to find it.

The tavern has a small front, with two red lanterns. The wine and food are good, and the owner is straightforward and easy to talk. As a result, there are many guests, bragging and playing, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Cui Yu, Yang Xuan, Fan Lingxiu, and Xie Cong entered the store, found a suitable table, and ordered signature wine and side dishes.Fan Lingxiu is an ordinary person, a sip of wine and a 'brother', and soon chatted with the people next to him.

"What? The road out of the village was also flooded by a mud waterfall, can't we get through?" Fan Lingxiu was devastated when he heard the news.When he heard that there was only one way out of the village, and he could only get water if he wanted to go to Chang'an, he almost threw away the wine cup in his hand.

"But there is no boat at the ferry!"

The big man who spoke was a little gloating: "So brother, just wait!"

Fan Lingxiu still didn't give up: "The road is flooded, what about the government, doesn't the government care? It's impossible for people in your village not to go out!"

"The government... Oh, it's raining all over the place, and the neighboring counties are flooded. The government has to rush to relieve the flood. We just buried a road, and no one died. How can the government care? Wait! Someday If you can’t wait any longer, let’s organize the big guys from the village to shovel together, since the government doesn’t have time anyway.”

"Then... can't go to other villages?" Fan Lingxiu rolled his eyes, "When we came from the ferry, we saw that there was not only one road, there were also roads to other places."

The big man had a look of sympathy, "Young man, you are too naive": "Our area is surrounded by mountains on three sides by water, and this is the largest village with a radius of [-] li. Village, you have to go around to our village to take the road!"

Fan Lingxiu really wanted to cry.There is only one road outside, which has been blocked. I don’t know when it will be opened. There is only a waterway to Chang’an, but there is no boat at the ferry... Is this going to kill people!

Xie Cong asked a practical question: "Dare to ask this big brother, why is there no boat on the ferry?"

The big man looked around, laughed for a while, and didn't speak.

Xie Cong frowned, quite puzzled.How could Fan Lingxiu answer all the questions, but he didn't talk when he asked?

Cui Yu tapped the table with his slender fingertips, and his smile became softer under the candlelight: "Brother Cui, don't be upset, this big brother may not be able to answer this question."

The big man has noticed Cui Yu a long time ago, this person is so beautiful!As soon as I entered the tavern, there were more moving night pearls in the tavern, and the beautiful candlelight reflected on weekdays was dimmed!He stared blankly at the moment, his nose itching, if it wasn't for the fierce eyes of the young man next to him, he wouldn't be able to return to his senses.

"Everything grows in summer, but no matter how fast the grass grows, it's impossible to grow a foot in two or three days - the road is overgrown with weeds, and the ferry is closed for business, I'm afraid it won't happen in these two days." Cui Yusu held a wine cup in his hand , the rough pottery wine cup is set off by the jade-colored skin, and the texture is fine.With a smile on his face, he looked at the big man, "There are traces of new repairs on the ferry. It's only been more than a month, and it doesn't seem to be abandoned. So I guess, there are people in the ferry, but there are some accidents that need to be dealt with temporarily. After all the chores are done, it can be reopened." , at that time, there will be a ship."

The big man patted his thigh: "This beautiful little brother is right! You can live in peace for a while, just wait, the ferry will definitely reopen!"

Fan Lingxiu frowned: "How long will I have to wait?" It's just that I don't want to wait so I'm in a hurry!

"This..." The big man rubbed his nose, "I don't know."

Cui Yu put down the wine cup, his brows and eyes fluttered, and there was a hint of mystery: "This, I'm afraid I have to wait for the results of the nearby river gang."

"You you you... how do you know?" The big man pointed at Cui Yu, very surprised.

Cui Yu looked at him with a warm smile: "It's not easy to tell outsiders about these things, isn't it? Brother, I know you're in trouble."

"It's not that you can't say anything..." The big man sighed, "Of course you can't do it if you don't know anything about outsiders, but since you know about the River Gang, it's okay to say something."

Cui Yu held his hand, with an elegant posture and a humble attitude: "Please enlighten me."

The big man blushed, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Cui Yu, he raised his face to dry up the wine in the bowl, accidentally choked again, coughed for a while, and his face turned even redder.

Yang Xuan frowned, and stepped on Fan Lingxiu's chair without a trace.Fan Lingxiu thought that someone passed by accidentally bumped into him, and he was also impatient, so he rushed to the big man with all his strength: "You said it!"

It happened to block Cui Mata's figure.

The big man was a little disappointed, swallowed his saliva, took a breath, and then spoke.

It turns out that the ferry here is under the jurisdiction of the Chilang Gang.The work on the water, transporting goods across the river, even small matters such as rowing bamboo rafts and selling fresh flowers and fruits to passengers are all under the control of the gang. In order to do business, the gang said no, no boats could be moved.

More than half a month ago, when the nearby river gangs were fighting for the front, someone attacked the territory of the Chilang gang. The ferry had just been repaired for two days, and the Chilang gang gathered everyone and rushed to the water to fight. There was no order from the gang. People dare not move, so there is no boat on the ferry.

"Why can't the gang do business if they don't speak up? Everyone wants to eat, and it won't hinder the business here if you work together elsewhere, so you can do it yourself?" Fan Lingxiu was anxious, and asked questions urgently.

The big man once again gave a look of "the boy is too naive": "The boats and rafts are not allowed to be privately owned. Each gang has its own logo. Private boats must dare to go on the river. No matter who sees it, they will be murdered, robbed and detained. Only with the gang mark can there be security."

Fan Lingxiu lay down on the table depressed: "Then what if the young master wants to leave... The young master still has something to do at home——"

Cui Yan was listening to the big man talking, and he was also worried. Suddenly, his palm warmed up, and he turned his head, and found that Yang Xuan was holding his hand, and his eyes moved, pointing in a direction.

Just as he turned his head to look, Yang Xuan was reminding him: don't be too obvious.

Then Cui Yu narrowed his eyebrows, turned his head and said something to Xie Cong, and found the person Yang Xuan pointed out while his eyes were wandering.

After observing for a while, Cui Mata's eyes lit up, thinking, there is a boat!
