Bastards

The person Yang Xuan reminded Cui Yu to pay attention to was very unusual.

This person has broad feet and big hands, thick fingers, calluses on the tiger's mouth, oily black skin on the face, extremely dark lips, but the skin color of the body covered by the corners of the clothes is only yellowish... This person is probably a boatman.He was dressed plainly, nestled in a corner, drank the cheapest wine, frowned, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and he didn't speak. It seemed that he was not looking for fun, but drinking to relieve his sorrow.

He just listened dumbly to other people's chatter, and his complexion began to turn ugly when the story of no boat at the ferry was mentioned here.

Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cui Yu, Cui Yu nodded, his eyes changed, and asked the big man who was talking to them: "The private boat is doing work, is it sure to die if you are caught?"

Yang Xuan noticed that the boatman's hand holding the wine bowl became tighter.

Cui Yu was very smart, and he hit the point in one sentence. This boatman... really had some ideas.

"Not necessarily. It depends on how much money you have at the time, whether you will come to trouble, and your relationship with your superiors... If you are lucky, you will keep your boat money, and you will save your life if you suffer a little crime. If you are not lucky, you will... Hehe, Just talking about our area, we have very little luck.”

Cui Yu paused, then asked again: "Since there is an opportunity, why don't you try your luck?"

"Because there are rules on the road, if you commit a crime, you are not allowed to go into the water again. If you don't change careers, you won't eat this bowl of rice, otherwise as long as you dare to go into the water again, it doesn't matter how much money you have or how your relationship is. There is only one result, death."

The big man's voice was very heavy. As soon as these words came out, the scene froze.

Yang Xuan had been keeping an eye on the boatman, and seeing his posture stiffen, he spoke for the first time: "Maybe we won't be discovered?"

"There are gang members patrolling the river at any time, how could it not be discovered?"

Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and raised one corner of his lips, with a meaningful smile: "Isn't the River Gang busy working together, how can there be people patrolling?"

The big man was stunned for a moment: "But what if... besides, everyone in Yanhe Village knows everyone well, and the gang stipulates that villagers will be rewarded for reporting, and they will cover up the same crime."

Yang Xuan sneered coldly: "I went to the countryside and grew up with each other, how can I be so impersonal?"

"That's what I said, but..." Everyone wants to live a good life.Big Hannah.

Cui Yu's location is not as convenient as Yang Xuan's, so it's not easy to always turn his head to observe the boatman, but seeing Yang Xuan like this, he also guessed the boatman's behavior, so he sighed softly at this moment, and said in a faint voice: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. What should someone do if they are in a hurry to spend money? The child is sick, the mother-in-law is waiting for delivery, the elderly is critically ill...Does it deserve to be unlucky? It is not intentional, intentional, and risky business, so everyone can't help. Close one eye?"

The big man was a little speechless: "...It is possible to die."

"Will everything be fine if you wait? It's been more than ten or twenty days... Birth, old age, sickness and death, time waits for no one." Cui Yu looked out of the window with worry in his eyes. Avoiding people and traveling by boat is also a way.” As if he had felt it accidentally, his voice was a little low, as if he was talking to himself, but it was clear enough for people to hear, “But if there is such a boatman, where can he find passengers at night? ? I'm afraid we are the only foreigners who are in a hurry..."

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan took turns to speak, the speed of speech was not fast, one was sharp and the other was warm, seemingly ordinary, but in fact every sentence and every accent implied a reminder, the tacit understanding of actions, the natural connection...

Cui Yu didn't think much of it, he knew Yang Xuan was very smart, and he was familiar with the meaning of his small gestures.

Yang Xuan was stunned.His identity is different from others, no matter how difficult it is to grow up, his life is different from ordinary people.He has come into contact with all kinds of people, and there are servants around him, there are attendants, there are dead soldiers, there are officials, he even has military merits, and he has thousands of soldiers under his command, but no one can understand his mind so far .It was as if he could use his arms and fingers with ease, and he didn't need to explain anything specifically. When he gave instructions, Cui Yu already knew what he was going to do, and responded in the fastest and most stable way.

Consonance...that's what it feels like.There was still the soft touch of Cui Yu's skin on his hands, Cui Yu subconsciously touched his chest, this feeling that every heartbeat and every breath was consistent... It was wonderful, but not annoying, he even began to look forward to the next time.

"Cui Liu, you are too kind and think too much. If you have the time to pity others, why don't you think about ourselves!" Fan Lingxiu didn't know what Cui Yu and Yang Xuan were doing, and didn't hear the hidden meaning, so he worried about himself, "Hello, young master. I want to go!"

It was rare for Xie Cong to agree with Fan Lingxiu, and he sighed: "I also really want to go home early to see grandpa..."

……

In the middle of Haishi, the atmosphere in the tavern gradually faded, and the guests gradually left.No one chatted about gossip anymore, it was useless to just sit around, and Cui Yu and his party also returned to the inn.

Fan Lingxiu yawned and said goodbye: "Sleep is the biggest thing in the world. We haven't had a good rest for several days. Let's just forget about everything today. Get a good sleep first, and worry about it tomorrow!"

"Brother Fan, go to sleep at ease, maybe when you wake up tomorrow, you will hear good news." Cui Yu was in a good mood, blinking and joking with Fan Lingxiu.

Fan Lingxiu didn't hear the hidden meaning in Cui Yu's words, he just thought it was a simple blessing, and—he covered his chest, his eyes lit up: "Ah, ah, Cui Liu, don't cast your eyes on me, this glamor The young master who shoots can't bear it!"

Cui Mata: ...he just blinked.

Xie Cong also blushed slightly: "It's...it's not Brother Cui's fault that he looks good, it's because we are too superficial."

Cui Mata: ...

Yang Xuan walked between Fan Lingxiu Xie Cong and Cui Yu with a cold face, reached out and grabbed Cui Yu's arm rudely, and pulled him to the room: "Sleep."

Cui Yu was already too upset by the reaction of Fan Xie and Xie to make fun of it, so he waved his paw casually, and went back to the room with Yang Xuan.

When going out, one can never be too cautious. In order to take care of each other, they booked two upper rooms, one for Fan Lingxiu and Xie Cong, and one for Cui Yu and Yang Xuan.The blue bridge is in the small room opposite the two upper rooms, not counting the upper rooms, it is specially set up by the inn for the servants to live in, it is convenient for anyone to call.

Lan Qiao and the little tiger warmly welcomed their master back, washed him with warm water and waited for him. The little tiger was tired of leaving, so Lan Qiao had no choice but to leave by himself, and told him not to mess around.

Before leaving, Cui Yu reminded Lan Qiao: "Sleep tonight and be alert, there may be visitors."

Visitors in the middle of the night?

Lan Qiao was a little curious, but he always listened to his master and left without thinking too much.

After Cui Minta cleaned up, he carried the little tiger to the couch by the window.

Yang Xuan's brows trembled: "You don't want to sleep in bed?"

"You don't want to sleep?" Cui Yu looked at the young man who held the power of life and death at the top of the food chain, his eyes lit up, and his face looked expectant, "Do you want to give it to me?"

Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "Did you dream before you fell asleep?"

The rising goodwill in Cui Yu's heart was immediately beaten back, and you were not allowed to ask any questions!Those who flirt first don't understand!He thought that the bear boy finally had a conscience... He patted the little tiger's fur and lay down on the couch.

Although the length is enough, the comfort is far worse than the bed!

The little tiger grabbed Cui Yu's shoes and wanted to jump on the couch to sleep with him, when suddenly his back felt cold, and he turned his head to see the threatening eyes of the Great Demon King Sen Leng... He let out an "Aww" and dared not move any more. He lay down obediently, curled up in a ball, and slept with his master's shoes in his arms.

Yang Xuan unbuttoned his outer robe with a cold face, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

There was only one bed in the room, of course he would have misunderstood!He doesn't want to sleep with a beautiful rabbit!Ever since he was a child, he never liked to share his bed with others!If it wasn't for him needing someone to help cover his tracks, and Cui Yu was too weak, limping and looking ugly, as if he could kill him with a casual twist, he wouldn't be kind!

I was so angry that I couldn't fall asleep, but the sound of light and regular breathing came from the side of the couch, and the heartless rabbit fell asleep so quickly...

Yang Xuan: ...

The little tiger felt that there was a sharp line of sight behind him, so he tried to shrink himself back and forth, trying to get closer to his master.

……

The guest was quite considerate, and Cui Yu had a fairly comfortable sleep. In the middle of Yin Shi, Lan Qiao led him and knocked on the door.

Yang Xuan and Cui Mata had already tidied up and invited the guests in.

The guest was impatient, he didn't drink Cui Yurang's tea, he bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind, he asked, "Who are you going to cross the river?" It was the boatman in the tavern.

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan looked at each other, their eyebrows fluttering, and they put on an unexpected expression: "How did you know?"

The boatman blushed, a little shy: "I heard some people in the tavern..."

Cui Yu naturally knew it well.Every sentence of those words at that time was a point of encouragement.The river gang fights, and the patrol vision is poor; it's not because of dissent, but because the neighbors will be sympathetic and sympathetic when encountering difficulties; when they travel at night, no one will see them, they find reasons for themselves and others; the most important thing is that they are foreigners, and they are eager to return. He will not report, nor will he dare to take a boat, and there will be no follow-up troubles.

He Gang is very strict, even if he wants to, it is not easy to make a secret order. This is his only chance.

"Where are you guys going? I can send them off. I have been sailing for more than [-] years, and I have never had any accidents. The technology is very good! Just...you also know that it can't be during the day, but at night." The man was a little anxious and a little cautious. .

Yang Xuan said concisely: "Chang'an. How much is it?"

The man's face was filled with joy, and then he stretched out five fingers pretending to be fierce: "Five, 50 taels!"

Yang Xuan frowned.

Afraid that the business would be lost, the man licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Now Shangshui... You also know that it's a job to put your head on your belt... 45 taels, no less!"

"30 taels, you can go if you want, and forget it if you don't."

The man stomped his feet: "30 taels is 30 taels! Tomorrow night at Xushi, I'll be waiting for you at the ferry!"

The author has something to say: Yang Xuan: I got my wife's hand!Soft and slippery... Wo's heart beats so fast! ! ~(≧▽≦)/~

Little Tiger: Isn't it because of a heart-to-heart meow? (⊙ω⊙)
