"Okay, Xiao Jiu, don't think about it." A voice that suddenly sounded in Mu Xiaojiu's ears woke Mu Xiaojiu up.

"Huh? What's wrong? As soon as Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyes, he reacted as soon as he asked. Because the river in front of them proves that they have arrived at the place.

"This is the Sand River." Mu Xiaojiu muttered, and then heard the voice of the fox fairy and said, "There is a dock above, should we go over and ask?" ”

"Let's go." Mu Xiaojiu responded, "Go over and ask, see if anyone is willing to send us down the tributary." If not, we might just buy a boat and paddle it ourselves. ”

………………………………………

Swimming all the way up, until the three of them near the wharf found that although the wharf is not big, there are a lot of boats, and there are a lot of people on the boat, and even some people on the wharf are noisy.

"Yo, three, take a boat across the river!" Before the three of them could speak, a man in a sackcloth shirt walked up. In terms of size, this man is thin and small, but his body is hard.

"Well, by boat. But we don't just cross the river. Mu Xiaojiu said.

The man laughed, he didn't expect that there would be a big business today, "So, a few of you are going to go to the tributary." If that's the case, they'll have to pick the boatmen. How many people do I see, are they all from the martial arts? As he spoke, the man took a few steps back to the side. Mu Xiaojiu smiled, this guy also has brains, the reason why he has to take a few steps back, on the one hand, is to be less noisy, and on the other hand, it is also to show the other boatmen that this group of people has discussed with him.

"That's right, we are indeed from the martial arts." Mu Xiaojiu nodded and followed a few steps up.

"Hey, let me tell you, even if you are from the martial arts, if you want to cross this sand river and go from the tributaries, you have to be careful to choose a boatman." The man said with a smile.

"Oh? Why is that? Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Seeing that Mu Xiaojiu intended to continue chatting, the man continued: "People in the martial arts may not be able to tread water without a trace, and most martial arts people are actually very poor in water. The tributaries of the Shahe River are actually very remote, and most of them have only a few small villages along the way. Some boatmen here can cross the river, if they take the tributaries, as long as they think of a way to overturn the boat, once they get underwater, even if they are martial arts people, I am afraid they will suffer a big loss, and it is possible to lose their lives. ”

"Oh? And this kind of boatman over here? Mu Xiaojiu said, "Then why don't you report to the official?" ”

"What kind of official?" The man took a sip, "It's all said, the tributaries are particularly remote, as long as a person dies, there is no proof of death." And who doesn't have a way to do that? As soon as someone from the government came, the person who committed the crime had already slipped away, and he would come back when the limelight passed, who had a way? Besides, the emperor is far away from the sky on this side of Shahe, and no one can control it, and after a long time, even the government is too lazy to come. ”

"If you say that......" Mu Xiaojiu looked at the man with a smile, "Brother, there is some truth in what you say, but I just don't know, do you have any good candidates to recommend to us?" ”

The man immediately laughed, and he didn't care about any facelessness, and said directly: "Guest officer, don't you think I can't do it?" Let me tell you this, there are few people in this entire pier who can compare water and rowing with me Li San. Besides, my Li San's reputation is well-known throughout the dock. ”

"Oh, after all that, it turns out that you are pulling business for yourself." Mu Xiaojiu looked at the man expressionlessly.

For some reason, a cold sweat broke out on the man's back, "That, that...... Although I am soliciting guests, what I said earlier is from the bottom of my heart, and it is all the truth......"

Mu Xiaojiu smiled, "Okay, let's go." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and didn't slow down for a while.

"Why are you still stunned? Where's your ship? Mu Xiaojiu flicked his fingers, and a wisp of strong wind swept past the man's ear, which woke him up.

"Did you say yes?" The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which can't be blamed on his poor psychological quality, it's just that this person looked like he pulled out a knife without saying a word one second, but the next second he agreed with a smile, which really made him a little unacceptable.

"Hmm." Mu Xiaojiu said as he took out a map from his arms and handed it to the man, "Let's see if you can walk the tributary marked on it, if you can, then hurry." If not, you can recommend to me who can go. ”

The man nodded, then took the map from Mu Xiaojiu's hand and unfolded it to take a look.

"Hiss......"

Hearing the man gasp, Mu Xiaojiu frowned and looked over, "What?" Having a hard time? Can't go? ”

The man shook his head, "That's not it, you can go, you can go, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just, looking at your marking, you're going straight to the end of this tributary. However, the end of this tributary is a narrow waterway with many stones, making it difficult to walk. Moreover, this tributary is not short, it cannot be completed in one day, and it is unlikely to be possible in two days. So do the math, you ...... Gotta add money. ”

Mu Xiaojiu waved his hand, "As long as you can go, money is not a problem, let's make a price." ”

The man gritted his teeth, "That's it, you give me five, three, three taels of silver, and I'll send it to you." Also, when you pass through villages on the way and buy dry food and wine, you have to bring my share with you. ”

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, and the man thought he was going to refuse, so he heard Mu Xiaojiu say: "In this way, five taels of silver will be used as a base, and the money will be added according to the speed." The faster you go, the more money I'll add to you. Along the way, I have all the food, drink, and food. ”

The man was overjoyed, "It's easy to say, it's no problem at all, I'm alone, I'll keep it for you and send it over." Without further ado, let's get on board and go. ”

As he spoke, the man took the lead, lined up the crowd, and walked towards his own boat by the dock.

"Yo! Li San, you're catching the guests! There was a boatman next to him who saw Li San's hurried appearance, and couldn't help but joke.

Li San had just received such a big deal from Mu Xiaojiu and them at this time, and he was proud in his heart, so he also responded with a smile: "Well, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go drink when you come back." The boatmen responded and waved at Li San, which was regarded as a farewell.

"It's the boat." Li San took a few steps into the water, dripped into the water, and led his boat to the shore.
