Bai Yujun sat there all night.

The still-warm bonfire followed the morning glow, and we listened to the roars of animals and the chirping of insects all night long, and finally the sky brightened.

Bai Yujun, who was a little tired, looked at the weather. The clouds were burning red. As the saying goes, if you don't go out in the morning, it's probably going to rain.

I miss the small residence in the palace so much. Sitting in the open air is not as fragrant as the quilt.

The ground was cold and the humidity was too heavy, so I took off my saddle and used it as a stool.

Sleeping on the ground casually in the wild is not a good thing, especially for children.

Bai Yujun remembers that when she was still in Shenhua Mountain, she once went down the mountain for medical treatment and met a child who couldn't straighten up. He was bent like a shrimp. After asking carefully, he found out that the child was playful and lost his way. After dark, he was so sleepy that he lay down on the ground to sleep.

Within two days I could no longer straighten my back.

Although it is not absolute, the probability is quite high. This incident left a deep impression on Moubai. He secretly thought that human cubs are not strong and they sleep in burrows every day.

In the early morning, in the thin mist in the forest, the birds chirped ethereally, and a certain white man yawned again and again.

There is little dew under the big tree, so clothes will not get wet.

My neck is sore and my whole body is tired.

Yawn, open your arms, stretch your body, brush your teeth and wash your face with the cool mountain stream.

After finally putting on the saddle, I packed up and continued on the road. I secretly said that I would find an inn to stay and rest tonight. I had also finished eating dried meat and preserved fruits, so I had to prepare some food.

The horse jolted for a long time.

Follow the map you memorized before and rush to the ferry.

riverside.

Bai Yujun, who was riding sideways, remained motionless, and the equally motionless horse looked towards the ferry.

Looking left and right, I found half a stone tablet and confirmed that this was the Songjia Ferry on the map.

Several pitch-black crows flew overhead, screaming.

The wooden piles covered with moss and the wooden boards with missing pieces formed the legendary ferry wharf and the half-broken stone tablet.

It's not the image of busy traffic and sails, it's very shabby.

The horse looked back with a long face and glanced at Moubai worriedly. It instinctively did not want to walk on those rotten wooden boards.

The wind with the smell of river water caused the weeds to sway wildly, and only a few pieces of shipwreck with decaying wooden planks were exposed on the shore. A thick layer of green hair swayed with the waves, and traces of river clams crawling through the mud could be seen.

The river was very wide. After waiting for a while, a large ship passed by.

There were sounds of weapons clashing and screams on the boat, and then strong men threw heavy objects into the river.

Bai Yujun shook his head.

Characteristics of the old times, backward and primitive.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two thieves who were peeping in the grass. They were obviously not as good as the water thieves on the river. They were unkempt and dirty, and their clothes were shabby. They didn’t even have a pair of shoes. They were lying in the grass whispering with two rusty broken knives in their hands. Little did they know that they were

Hear it clearly.

"Whose little girl is walking alone outside? She must be rich. Most parents can't be like this."

"Nonsense! I have lived for more than thirty years and have never seen that fabric. How can I have no money!"

The two thieves didn't care about the insects crawling in the grass and looked around.

"What are you waiting for? What if the fat sheep runs away?"

The stubborn guy put away the knife and was eager to try. Anyway, he was a little girl, so he couldn't afford to use the knife for fear of losing the business.

Leng Buding was slapped on the head.

"You idiot! Do you think it's good luck that we haven't been caught as thieves for more than ten years?"

The tall and lanky older man was so angry that he slapped me again.

The stupid thief feels aggrieved when he touches his head.

"We are lucky..."

"Mud can't hold up a wall! I'm alive today because I'm smart! You have to use your brain when doing things. The girl must be a child of a wealthy family. First, check to see if there are any servants and nurses following you. Wait a while, and no one will take action.

.”

"Hey, I listen to you."

The two of them continued to lie down in the grass and look around.

Dockside.

Bai Yujun waited for a while and felt that there really couldn't be a ship coming.

"You'll be able to board the ship in a moment."

He muttered something to himself, very leisurely and casually.

Gujie

After a while, a shadow in the deep water in the distance quickly approached the dilapidated dock.

The two thieves didn't see anyone coming on the road, so they hesitated for a while and decided to start robbing. They put away their weapons and got up from the grass and sneaked towards the pier. They didn't dare to think of killing anyone, they just wanted to grab some money.

Mao Yao ran forward. As he ran, he saw the girl dismounting her horse and dragging her horse to the dock.

"Quick! Don't let the fat sheep escape!"

The thief with grass blades on his face and clothes ran as hard as he could, as if he saw Yinzi waving enthusiastically.

After running, I finally saw the dilapidated pier.

Sudden.

The momentum of running suddenly stopped.

"..."

The two of them opened their eyes in disbelief. Their legs gave way and they fell to the ground. They sat on the ground and used their hands and feet to move back. They dropped the rusty knife and didn't care to pick it up. They wished they could grow eight legs and escape from Songjiadu...

At the end of the pier, Bai Yujun pulled the reins hard and pulled the horse with wide eyes and trembling legs onto the old turtle shell.

A certain Bai wanted to take a boat, but fate somehow manipulated the river god to come here to help. It was as simple as that.

The river god here is a huge old turtle as big as a house. His appearance is no different from ordinary old turtles, but the two long beards trailing the ground at the corners of his mouth are more distinctive.

Until now, the old turtle doesn't know who the little girl is.

The two thieves saw Bai Yujun walking on the back of the giant turtle and then leaving the dock smoothly.

The tall and thin man pointed at the retreating figure with his fingernails full of mud.

The trembling mouth makes it difficult to speak.

"Gods, gods, gods... gods... gods..."

Bai Yujun looked at the frightened horses and shook his head and was speechless. He was so frightened when he saw the water vein river god. You can imagine the consequences of seeing the ferocious monster.

With the cool river breeze blowing, let’s put aside the issue of mounts for now.

"River God."

"The little god is here."

"Go downstream for a hundred miles and then turn into a tributary for fifty miles. Besides, I don't want to be disturbed."

"Little God understands, please sit still."

The old turtle has lived a long time and has become a master. He knows what not to ask and what not to say. He just keeps his head down and goes on his way.

Using his magical power, the water vapor on the river surface filled up and blocked the view. The giant turtle swam very fast, quickly overtaking the big ship that had just fought and dumping the body, and disappeared into the thick fog.

As expected, it rained, a steady drizzle, and the calm river surface was covered with fleeting potholes.

Open the paper umbrella and watch the rain on the river.

“It’s nice to rain.”

A certain Bai likes rainy days.

I have to praise the giant turtle for its speed and stability.

Regardless of the rapids or whirlpools, there is no bump at all. This skill is easy for the water god.

Passing by the fast-flowing river, Bai Yujun heard the sound of trumpets in the thick fog, and soon passed a large ship at close range.

After passing close to the big ship, I saw countless ropes on the other side of the big ship stretching diagonally forward into the fog. When the fog thinned for a short time, I saw hundreds of trackers along the coast pulling the big ship step by step.

The rope connects the boat and the tracker.

There are young and old men, with tanned skin, who simply use old cloth as clothes, or even go naked.

Lean forward and tighten your calf muscles.

Shouting a chant that has echoed in this canyon for countless years, stepping barefoot on the rocks that have been smoothed away long ago.

The river fog obscured their sight again. From the beginning to the end, the men did not raise their heads to look at them. All they could see were the familiar slippery stones on the shore.

Lowering his head, what he saw was the soles of his feet moving forward step by step.

This misty rain is just scenery in Bai Yujun's eyes, and it will be even more tiring for them.

The old turtle swims very fast.

The loud sound of chants gradually faded away.

Bai Yujun sighed, he had seen too many people who were young and frivolous, determined to protect the poor people in the world and make them happy.
