Chapter 369 Prequel 09

At this time, the sky river was all the same. The man was standing handsomely on the bank of the river. Although he was polite, the old man was a little scared. He heard from a young age that the monster water ghosts harmed people. Although he was just alone, he had no children, but he really couldn't think of life and death. Therefore, he was on the lonely boat and had no decision for a while.

Fei Ling seized this opportunity and immediately said to the old man: "Don't be afraid, old man, I was from Yingchuan, I don't know why when I woke up, I met a soldier who forced a robbery of a civilian girl. I was so anxious to help the woman. I didn't expect that she would be seen by her colleagues. Then I hurriedly entered the mountains and forests. If you don't help, I'm afraid that the villain will not escape and die. I hope the old man will take the next journey."

Fei Ling said while thinking about whether he could jump onto the boat. Now, he finally waited for such a small boat. If he missed it and didn't know when he could find the boat he would take, the old man was still swaying just now, and he was not sure whether the words he had just said could impress the man, so he would be prepared for his work. Thinking of this, he secretly put his strength under his feet, thinking that once the old man turned around, he could only be the first and then the courtesy.

However, after hearing Fei Ling's words, the old man was much more cautious. At this time, there were many corrupt officials. The common people were most touched. If they encountered such people offended officials in order to save people, they would naturally be able to help them with one hand. How could they not save them if they were dead? Besides, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Seeing that the young man's clothes were already dirty, I thought that what this person said was true, and the old man calmed down.

"So that's it. The young master will stand for a while, and I'll come here." The old man shouted at Feiling, then rowed his oars and leaned towards the bank of the river little by little.

The force that Fei Ling was still slacking off for a while, and gave a bow to the old man who was standing alone, and waited for the boat to come over. The boat was not big, and when it stood on Fei Ling, it was full. From this, it can be seen that the old man was a lonely man, and the straw raincoat he wore was thrown in a small corner. The fishing rod on the canoe was very conspicuous when hung on the boat.

The old man felt a little embarrassed when he saw the young man standing on his very messy boat with a gentle appearance. He smiled and sorted out the things, which allowed Fei Ling to sit down.

"I am such a bad old man, and I don't have much to worry about. I'm a little confused by fishing, so I'm a little confused. Don't blame me." The old man returned to the front of the boat, and said to Fei Ling who had just sat down while paddling.

Fei Ling nodded and said nothing was wrong. Although he grew up in Shangjing, he had heard people telling people about the people who were rafting on the river. Many of them had no money at home and relying on the small boat to be the head of the family. With no wife and children, he became more wanton. He didn't mind this situation. He just thought that if it were not for himself today, if he had bad intentions, he would be afraid that the small boat would definitely not be stable. So he opened his mouth to the old man and said a few words: "I'll thank you for the old man today. But now the world is chaotic and there are more bad people to say more words. The old man should be more careful in the future."

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this and then smiled and said, "That's right. I, the old fisherman, have indeed been neglected this time, or is it the young master right? The world is really chaotic. How can the bad guy say that he is a bad guy? I should pay attention to it next time."

Fei Ling blinked his eyes when he heard the old man talking about the chaos of the world. He followed the words and said, "I am young, so I won't see you for now. Why do you still have to ferry on the river in such a chaotic world? Didn't it mean that the uprising has begun in the south?"

He thought that he could not ask rashly, so he could learn some news by pointing indirectly. So the old man didn't talk much with ordinary people in the past, and when he met someone, he could hold back his words. He smiled and started chatting with Fei Ling, then started talking, and chatting with the old man in question and answer when he came.

"Where is it, a young man who is as good as a gold and jade, calling me an old bone can be considered as my old man's benefit. Why are you rafting here? Isn't you forced to do it?" When the old man mentioned this, he sighed, and looked towards the endless river surface, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and worry in his eyes.

It turned out that the officials of the dynasty were corrupt and domineering. From the court to the local government, they all plundered the people's wealth and cream, and they were stripped of people's skins. The more they plucked, the more they became, the more they became poorer. They were already the ordinary people who had to tighten their belts to survive, let alone those idle vendors, who could only fight these few fish every day and had to be plundered in the market. Where could they stay?

"It's just that we scattered vendors, as long as we stand in the market, we will have to have a silver tael! Young Master, how can we get this? Even so, we can only live on this river, and we don't know how long I, a widowed old man, can live. I'm afraid no one will know if it's rotten or smelly on this river." The old man sighed, and his words were extremely depressed.

When Fei Ling heard this, he felt that things became more and more confused. Although Emperor Kangping was a soft-hearted person and was undecided in the situation, not everyone in the court was corrupt and domineering. Even people like the uncle were greedy and dared not be too blatant. The two things were different.

Fei Ling dusted the dust on his body and said with a smile: "The old man is a blessed man. Don't say such disheartening words."

The old man nodded, responded, and replied, "Look at me, this old man, I'm actually crazy. Or is it the young master who said, "Where is there anyone who curses me? I must have been blinded by lard just now."

He had just finished speaking, but he heard the young master who was still persuading him sigh again. He couldn't help but wonder. He was about to ask, and when he saw the middle of the river in front of him, he hurriedly turned the bow of the boat away from that place. There must be an undercurrent under that place. If he was dragged in, he was afraid that his life and the young master would be in danger. When he was farther away from the place where he was rotating, the old man remembered what had happened just now and looked at the young man.

"Why did the young master sigh just now? But what are the things that are unfair and worrying?" The old man said with kindness, afraid that he would have bumped into something difficult to describe, which shows that he was a kind-hearted person.

Fei Ling just looked at the swirling surface of the river. If he had guessed correctly, the corpse would definitely be involved when it encountered such a place. It seemed that he could not find it even if he could find it. Thinking of this, his eyes became much darker. When the old man asked, he woke up from it and looked up at the old man.

"We scholars like us turned a blind eye to the outside world in the past. We only knew the corrupt officials, but we didn't know what the situation was in the uprising army in the south. If it was good, it would be understandable. If it was bad, we would be the second dynasty. Then the people would be even more miserable." Fei Ling said, feeling a little thirsty, and licked his lips.

The old man had very good eyes. When he saw this action, he couldn't help feeling a little funny. These scholars were so thin-skinned that they were very thirsty all the way, but they were embarrassed to find water to drink directly. Thinking of this, he took the water bag from his waist and handed it to Fei Ling, who was licking his lips just now, and said, "Young Master, don't be disgusted. I only have such a kettle to use for the time being. If I feel it is not good, just don't go close to my mouth."

Fei Ling didn't dislike the kettle in front of him? He took the kettle and pulled out the plug and drank it in small sips. Then he gradually suppressed the dryness in his mouth. He handed the kettle again to the old man who was still biting the oar and thanked him.

The old man saw that the young man was indeed a good person and had his advice everywhere, so he believed even more that he was a scholar and said, "Young Master, I don't know, we have heard of some hearing from these places all year round. I heard that the uprising was the Sun family in Yiling in the south. He said that because the officials went there to work, they asked them for some money openly and secretly. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Sun family had a tough temper and refused to join him, so he was imprisoned..."

When Fei Ling heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He was detained in prison without paying the money. This was a crime of lynching. It can be seen how the dynasty was already in. I am afraid that such a dynasty would be exhausted. If the people were not willing to do so, it would be the most taboo. If the clan instigated it from it, the foundation would be shaken a few times. However, he did not interrupt the old man, but just continued to listen carefully...

"Although the leader of the Sun family was pretty good in the past, he could not hold a jail and eat hunger and fuller? Another person didn't know whether these people would be lynched. In less than a month, the person ate inside. But he heard that the eldest son of the Sun family had some tricks and took out the body. But who would have thought that he could be buried well at that time, but two days later, he took the opportunity to arrest his eldest son for bribing officials. Who could tolerate this? The Sun family is also a first-class clan in Yiling, so he naturally took the opportunity to rebel. To say that the Sun family's soldiers should be stronger than the current dynasty."

After hearing this, Fei Ling nodded. The two of them talked without any pain for a while, and the sky became dark. Afraid of the undercurrent on the river, the old man found a place where he could stop the boat and settle down for the time being, which was considered safe.

"Young Master, I don't have much contact with people all year round, so I have my ears in my back. If there is something, you just shout me loudly."
