1247 Crossing the River

 Xiao Han was still so proud of his ability to name his own name that he didn't realize that people had already imagined him as a waiter in a hotel.

"Xiao Er, Erlang! Yes, it's pretty smooth!" Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and prepared to look forward to see where that idiot with the knife fell into the water.

In other words, although I don’t know some evil and smoking guy in later generations, the number "two" has become a synonym for being heartless.

But now, the number "two" is still just a number, and it has no derogatory meaning at all!

On the contrary, it has become an honorific title for others in some places because of those famous second brothers in history.

For example, in Shandong, it is normal to greet a stranger and call him second brother.

After all, Confucius, Wu Song, and Zhuge Liang were all born here, and they all ranked second!

He grinned and thought for a while, until he walked to the river, Xiao Han came back to his senses, looked up at a lonely small pier in front of him, and asked Jia Yi who was following him doubtfully: "Huh? Where is the boat? Why didn't you see it?"

"

As soon as A saw this, he quickly raised his hands and replied: "Back to the Marquis... Back to the Second Young Master, the ferry boat is too small to take the carriage. The boatman said that he has gone back to the big boat. It will take a while to arrive."

"Oh? Okay, we happen to be tired from walking all the way, so we'll take a rest here and wait!"

Xiao Han suddenly understood and nodded to express his understanding. But having said that, there is no bridge on the river. If you want to cross the river, you can only rely on ferries, which is really inconvenient.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about this.

The Yangtze River is really too wide!

With current technology and materials, it is simply impossible to build a bridge across the river!

Even during a war, if one side spares no expense and builds a pontoon bridge across the river with iron chains, it will soon be corroded by the water vapor on the river surface.

Within two years, the pontoon bridge will become a dangerous bridge.

In another year, let alone the dangerous bridge, there won’t even be an iron slag in sight.

Therefore, no one would do this kind of wasteful thing, which is not worth the gain! For thousands of years, ferrying has become people's only choice when they want to cross the river.

The Yangtze River Ferryman came into being under such circumstances.

I don't know if he was influenced by the "Soul Ferryman", but Xiao Han has always been very curious about the Yangtze River Ferryman.

So while others were resting on the spot, he jumped onto a huge rock on the shore and looked across the river from a distance.

Originally, Xiao Han wanted to go to the pier because it stretched into the river and looked particularly clear.

But there was no way, Xiaodong and Lengzi dragged him desperately to prevent him from getting on the pier that seemed to collapse at any time, so Xiao Han could only find this taller boulder and climb up, climbing up to see far away.

It snowed last night. Although the weather has cleared up today, there is still a thin layer of water vapor on the river. Looking from a distance, it looks like a hazy phantom.

"Hey, do you two think this ferry can handle so many people like us?"

After looking far into the distance for a while, but seeing nothing, Xiao Han sighed helplessly, sat down on the boulder, and asked Xiaodong and Lengzi beside him.

"Who knows, anyway, this matter is Wang Wu Zhangluo's fault. If he can't pull so many of us, let him swim over."

Xiaodong was squatting under a boulder, picking up stones and playing with them out of boredom. When he heard this, he laughed and said.

"Hey? This is a good idea! Maybe he can catch two fish in the water!" Lunzi laughed beside him, seeming to agree with Xiaodong's method!

But did Wang Wu really go to the water to catch fish? Or was he caught by a fish? That fool couldn't control it.

Xiao Han didn't know why the two of them had such big objections to Wang Wu, but he didn't want to care about these things. It was just a small friction.

As the leader of these people, if he had to take care of everything, even if he was as wise as Zhuge Liang, he would be exhausted.

So Xiao Han just pretended not to hear the gloating in the two people's words, sat quietly on the top of the big rock, looked into the distance and murmured to himself: "Hey, let's not say whether he can swim across the river or not. If we do it today

If you can't cross the river, you have to go home in despair..."

"If you can't make it, you have to go home?"

As soon as Xiao Han said these words, Xiaodong, who was originally indifferent, immediately became anxious!

He was so exhausted at home that he finally came out. His legs were not even hot from running. How could he go back like this?

"Master Marquis, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask first. If it doesn't work, just ask them to get a few more boats and line them up. I don't believe I can't get through!"

After saying this, Xiaodong ignored Xiao Han's correction that he should be called Second Young Master instead of Marquis, and ran away quickly.

Sure enough, everything in this world, as long as it concerns oneself, will be taken seriously if it is urgent.

The fool didn't know what Xiaodong was thinking. Looking at his back as he hurried away, he couldn't help but scratch his head and said to himself: "Line up the boats? Is that safe? What if it capsizes and falls into the water?"

manage?"

"Snapped……"

Before the fool finished speaking, a handful of fine sand was already hit on the head, with a few pebbles mixed in the middle. The blow made the fool tremble, and he quickly curled up his neck and looked up.

On the boulder above his head, Xiao Han grabbed a handful of weathered sand and glared at him.

Although Xiao Han has never had any experience in the water industry, he still knows a little about some of the rules. For example, the most taboo thing among boat people is the word "turn"!

Even for this reason, it has evolved into a kind of stubbornness. Not only can't you say this word, but you can't even do the action!

Xiao Han still remembers a movie he once watched when he was a child. Those boat-shaped family members couldn't even turn over the fish!

So, what if for a while there is a fool on the boat and he talks nonsense in front of others without blocking or blocking him.

Xiao Han didn't know whether Wang Wu could swim in the river, but the fool would definitely be able to go down, and he would still be the kind of person who was thrown in...

The fool felt a head of sand and knew that he had said the wrong thing. He lowered his head angrily, swept away the sand, and did not dare to say anything more.

The boulder became quiet at this moment, and only the river water not far away slapped the shore, making a "swishing" sound.

"Huh? What's wrong?" In the dull mood, Xiaodong ran back and asked in surprise when he saw the fool looking like he had done something wrong.

"It's okay! What did Wang Wu say?" Xiao Han patted the dust on his hands and asked casually.

"Oh, he said it's no problem. There are a lot of guests coming and going on the river. I heard that some wealthy businessmen have a much grander ostentation than us, and they can also cross the river." Xiaodong blinked, as if he understood something.

, answer quickly.

"Oh? Then why didn't we see it?"

"Maybe it's because there are very few guests during the Chinese New Year, so the boats and people are parked near the town over there."

Xiaodong inquired very carefully. He even guessed what Xiao Han would ask next and prepared the answers in advance.
