Chapter 83: Troubled Times in the World

Qiu Qianren frowned and said, "I hate people with soft bones the most! If you have something to say, stand and say it!"

Sha Tongtian was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly replied: "Yes!"

Qiu Qianren said: "I have been talking to you for half a day, but I did nothing seriously. Please send me across the river!"

Sha Tongtian and Hou Tonghai looked at each other and agreed to each other. They hurriedly took a rag and wiped a place on the deck. They asked Qiu Qianren to sit here, then untied the rope, raised the sail, shook the oars, and rushed towards the opposite shore.

At this time, the river was not turbulent, and the two of them had excellent boat-mounting skills. The boat was fast and stable. In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a dock on the other side. Sha Tongtian tied the boat to the dock pile with a thick rope, Hou Tonghai set up the boat board, and the two respectfully asked Qiu Qianren to get off the boat.

Qiu Qianren stepped on the shore with his feet and turned to the two of them and said, "Since you wait for them to do inexpensive business along the Yellow River, you must have made a lot of money, right?"

Hou Tonghaidao: "Where can you make money? Nowadays, the golden people are in chaos. The poor are poor and the rich are not afraid to rob them. We have to..."

Sha Tongtian interrupted loudly: "We have to have some free time to attract some customers and do some regular businessmen!"

Hou Tonghai looked at Sha Tongtian in confusion and thought to himself: "Why are you talking lies with your eyes open? Where are we doing business seriously?"

Qiu Qianren sneered and said, "I am happy today. I am too lazy to tell the truth. However, you have not done evil in front of me. This is your advantage. I just think that God has good life. Let you let you go!"

When Sha Tongtian and Hou Tonghai heard this, they were all very happy and were very busy and thanked each other.

Qiu Qianren reached out to stop them and said, "Don't thank you for your help! I'm here to tell you two taboo things. If you violate them in the future, I don't know. If I learn that even if I'm separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I will take your lives!"

Sha Tongtian smiled and said, "We will never dare to offend you. Please give me the instructions from Gang Qiu!"

Qiu Qianren said: "One, you must not help the Jin people, be the hateful Han Jian! Two, you can steal money, but you must also do the same. You must not kill people randomly, and you must not be greedy for money from the household!"

Sha Tongtian nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but Hou Tonghai said, "What is the wealth of a family?"

Qiu Qianren said: "People treat emergency diseases and help urgent money is called losing money. It is despicable to get this!"

Hou Tonghai frowned and said, "It's just a robbery, why do you have to make such trouble..." Then he heard the familiar "slap" sound, and he whispered the back of his head and said, "Senior brother, why are you hitting me again?"

Qiu Qianren shook his head, took out a piece of broken silver, threw it to Sha Tongtian, and said, "This is the ship's money!" After that, he turned around and walked.

Hou Tonghai rubbed his chin, looked at Qiu Qianren's gradually fading back, and then looked at the broken silver on Sha Tongtian's hand, and said, "Senior brother, the Iron Palm Gang is rich in all directions. Why is their gang leader so stingy that he gives this little money for the ship?"

Sha Tongtian was shocked and hurriedly visited the direction where Qiu Qianren left. Seeing that he had no intention of returning, he breathed a sigh of relief. A nameless fire rose up and shouted angrily: "Is it good to give you a mountain of gold?" As he said that, he raised his palm to hit Hou Tonghai's back of his head, but the latter avoided it shortly.

Hou Tonghai smiled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? You can still hit me every time!"

Sha Tongtian stared at his red-wired eyes and said with a grim smile: "Hid you well! Your kung fu has really improved! Try taking a few more palms!"

Immediately, on the bank of the Yellow River, Hou Tonghai screamed like ghosts and wolves howling, and begged for mercy, as well as the constant crisp sound of "pa" sound.

Not to mention that they beat and scolded each other here, just talked about Qiu Qianren. After leaving the ferry, he continued to go north. Thinking of Sha and waiting for what the two of them had just stopped, he only felt funny at first, but later gradually frowned and said to himself: "Are they all acting in front of me like this, so as to seek a chance to survive?"

Immediately he denied his thoughts: "No! That Hou Tonghai is indeed a mess, so he can't pretend. But Sha Tongtian..."

He thought of one of the "five masters" under Wanyan Honglie in the future, and thought: "If we look at the results, I should have killed him, but now everything has changed. I can't kill people at will for a possible future result, right? Then I should kill myself first! Forget it, I will give them a chance to correct themselves. If they hit me in the future, then we will settle the accounts together!"

When Qiu Qianren thought about it, he calmed down and continued to wander around.

However, what I heard and saw along the way later made him feel very bad. Refugees who were not covered in clothes and fields flooded by the Yellow River were everywhere. Except for the roads and cities, there were few people in the countryside along the way. In addition, officials also escorted men and women by time, and the team was silent, and only the sound of whips and horses neighing and roaring.

Qiu Qianren is not a meddling person, but whenever he sees this, he always feels unfair. He has killed officials several times and sent innocent people to him. However, what he gets is not thanks, but resentment:

"You killed these people, but we have to take the blame!"

Someone even urged everyone to catch Qiu Qianren:

"We will definitely have no way to survive when we go back like this! Why don't we catch him and explain to the men!"

After doing this a few times, Qiu Qianren defeated several refugees who took the initiative to capture him, and became more and more impatient. Fortunately, he had expected this and was not very angry. He just said to himself: "Sheng'er, do you see the disadvantages of being a hero? This is why I don't want to meddle in other people's business!"

However, even though he advised himself not to meddle in other people's business, there was still something that broke through his bottom line that happened in front of him, forcing him to take action.

During the day, Qiu Qianren was walking on the road. Suddenly, he heard the crying sounds in front of him. When he looked forward, he saw a team of Jin cavalry chasing a group of people.

The cavalry held their bows with their swords, smiled, and slashed horses while slashing back and forth, cutting out shallow scars on the people's bodies. The arrows shot did not look for the key points, and were often inserted on their shoulders and arms, allowing the people to run with the pain.

The people cried and shouted, some were running around, some were kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, only a woman was disheveled and yelled at a cavalry, which was holding a spear, and a baby was running through the tip of the spear.

Seeing this, Qiu Qianren's eyes were about to break, and immediately rushed forward, jumped up, and at the same time, he raised his palms and used his sword to make a knife with his palms. He waved it repeatedly, cutting off all the more than a dozen cavalrymen in the waist, causing them to fall off their horses one after another.

Half of the cavalry left were twisting back and forth on the ground, and their blood was flowing all over the ground, but they could not die for a moment. They just wailed and blew, struggling to survive, making the scene smelly, like a Shura field.

Qiu Qianren let out a long sigh, never glanced at the scene again, and left with great strides.

After that, he went north and away from the famous city. The snow in the surrounding area gradually increased and the weather became colder. Another day, Qiu Qianren saw a continuous vast snow-capped mountain appearing in front of him, but it reached the boundary of Changbai Mountain.

Qiu Qianren walked for another journey and came to a village at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the north wind became tighter, he found a farmer's house, knocked on the door, and asked his master for a stay.

The owner was a white-haired old man with a sad face. After hearing Qiu Qianren explain the reason, he enthusiastically let him into the house, closed the door and said, "I'm going to invite this guest. There is nothing to be entertained in the village family. Please roast the fire first and let the old man prepare some food." As he said that, he took Qiu Qianren to the stool in front of the stove in the hall to sit down, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Qiu Qianren turned his eyes to observe the hall and found that it was a very small and simple house with very few furnishings. Apart from the small hall where he was, there were only three inner rooms. One of them made a jingle sound, and there was a hidden fragrance, which should be the kitchen; there was another half covering the door, and beds, boxes, cabinets and other items could be seen from the cracks of the door; but in the only room with the door closed, a trace of fragrance came, like a woman's boudoir.

The old man prepared supper and brought it out, but it was a pot of millet porridge that emitted the medicinal energy, and two corn nests the size of a fist.

The old man placed two nests near Qiu Qianren, and then served him a bowl of porridge, and said with a smile: "There is nothing good to entertain. I picked ginseng a few days ago, and some ginseng beards were stored. So I mixed these beards with millet and cooked porridge. Let's just put it!" As he said that, he also served a bowl, held it in his hand, and sipped it slowly.

Qiu Qianren smiled and said, "This is great. I was just about to drink porridge. Not to mention ginseng, which is a good thing to nourish the body and nourish the energy!" After a pause, he frowned and said, "How can I eat two nests in the middle of the night?" He said, and placed one of the nests in front of the old man.

When the old man was shocked when he wanted to speak, he saw Qiu Qianren holding a bowl in his right hand and a wok in his left hand, and he started to eat and drink. He also took the wok, took a bite, and chewed it.

After the two of them finished eating and drinking, the old man cleaned up the mess, made tea, and then sat next to the stove with Qiu Qianren and talked some gossip.

Qiu Qianren said: "Brother-in-law, here is close to Changbai Mountain. There are many ginseng on the mountain and various wild animals. As the saying goes, you can eat the mountain by relying on the mountain. You should be able to live in your village, right?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Customer, you think it's bad. You said there are indeed ginseng wild animals here, but there are officials who collect taxes, so we can't leave anything left. Even so, we can barely live. However, there is another ginseng immortal recently. He has forced ginseng in ten miles and eight villages. He is even more cruel than the government. If people don't pay, he will kill people!"

Qiu Qianren said in surprise: "There is such a thing? The government doesn't care..." He suddenly stopped and felt that he had said something stupid.

The old man sneered: "Official government? They are in charge of tax collection and donation! The rest of the matter has nothing to do with them! People here dare not report to officials. If officials come, not only will they not be able to do anything, but they will need to wait for good wine and meat to treat them. They will also be shaved a layer of skin before leaving! These damn official robbers!" At the end of the talk, the old man's expression became angry.

Qiu Qianren sighed and said, "The world is as dark as a crow!" and said, "Brother-in-law, I am very interested in this immortal. What kind of way does he do? Can you tell me?"
