Zhang Jiuling looked up at the river. It was at least a hundred meters wide!
This was too unbelievable!
A small boat and a white-haired old man could also carry passengers across the river?
Wasn't this too dangerous?
Zhang Jiuling asked a coolie out of curiosity.
The coolie brother had already practiced a set of words for this. This set of words had already been said by the coolie brother to at least a hundred people.
"Young Master, you might not know this, but this white-haired old man may look old, but his strength is also extraordinary. He crosses the river very quickly, and there has never been an accident.”
"Not only that, he seems to have nothing to do. He only charges five wen for those who cross the river.”
"Sometimes, when he meets someone he can talk to, he won't accept the other party's money.”
"If it wasn't for the fact that his boat was small and he couldn't carry a lot of passengers at a time, how could our boss tolerate him carrying passengers across the river here? Isn't this ruining our business?"
"But then again, I still admire this old man.”
"Sometimes, when it was windy, rainy, thunder, and lightning, we didn't dare to cross the river and didn't get out of the boat.”
"But he still left the ship."
"Is there anyone sitting there?" Xiao Xian asked impatiently.”
The coolie smiled." Of course not. Who's a fool to cross the river in a storm?" Besides, even if he crossed the river, he wouldn't give his life to an old man!”
"The three of you, why don't you go and give it a try?”
"Perhaps if we can talk things out, the three of you can save some money for crossing the river.”
"However, his ship can only carry two people at a time.”
Zhu Qiqi and Xiao Xianer immediately looked at Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling pushed Xiao Xianer onto the boat without saying anything.
"Go away, go away. A maid should have the awareness to guard the carriage!”
"You're too shameless," Xiao Xian 'er said angrily.”
"You only know after so many days?”
Zhang Jiuling ignored Xiao Xianer's protest and called Zhu Qiqi over to the old man.
"He dares to leave the ship even in the wind and rain. This old man is really tired.”
Zhu Qiqi was a kind person. What he saw was the poverty of the elderly.
Zhang Jiuling was different.
No matter how poor a poor person was, he would not cross the river in a downpour.
There was only one life. If it was gone, so be it.
If he didn't have money, he could still earn more.
It wasn't that the poor could sacrifice their lives for money.
Moreover, he knew that it was raining and no one would take his boat.
This old man had a story!
Countless people passed by the white-haired old man, but they all cast puzzled gazes at him.
Was this old man crazy? How dare he cross the Martial River with a small broken boat?
Seeing the white-haired old man at such a close distance, Zhang Jiuling immediately felt a surge of energy.
This did not match the old man's age at all.
It was as if the person standing in front of him was a brawny man and not an old man.
"Old man, how much does it cost to cross the river by boat?" Zhu Qiqi asked.”
"Five coins per person!" The white-haired old man laughed.”
Zhang Jiuling and Zhu Qiqi boarded the boat. One was at the bow, while the other was at the stern. The white-haired old man was in the middle of the boat.
This scene caused many people to cast curious gazes over.
He thought to himself that there were really people who were not afraid of death and dared to take the old man's boat.
Of course, this included Xiao Xian's angry gaze at Zhang Jiuling!
The white-haired old man was wearing a gray robe made of coarse cloth and a tattered bamboo hat. His snow-white hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his long beard was swaying in the wind.
This was not a white-haired old man who was rowing a boat across the river!
He was a banished immortal!
Zhu Qiqi and the white-haired old man conversed with deep sympathy in their tone. From their words, it was obvious that they could give the old man some silver.
However, she had completely forgotten that she was a beggar.
How could others believe her words?
Zhang Jiuling put his hand into the river and felt the speed of the boat and the river. The more he felt, the more shocked Zhang Jiuling became.
Unknowingly, the boat had reached the center of the river.
Zhu Qiqi was a little anxious." Old man, I'm not a beggar, nor am I a swindler. I sincerely want to help you."”
The white-haired old man laughed." I didn't say that you're a liar.”
"I appreciate your kindness.”
"I still have my hands, legs, and strength. It's quite good to be independent.”
"If there were more courageous people like you, I wouldn't need to go out on a rainy day.”
"People nowadays are getting more and more timid.”
Zhang Jiuling smiled." Old man, you can't say that. It's really your image that makes people unable to believe you!"”
"Young hero, what you said makes sense. It's sad to be nearly a hundred years old!”
The white-haired old man sighed and asked,""Then why do you and this lady trust this old man?”
"Why does she believe you, old man? I think you already know. Why do you ask when you already know the answer?”
The white-haired old man laughed." Indeed, this girl is kind-hearted. Seeing me like this, she must think that I have a tragic fate and want to help me!”
"Then what about you, young master? Are you the same as this lady?”、
Zhang Jiuling shook his head." No, I feel that the old man has the air of an immortal and is not an ordinary person. That's why I wanted to get some immortal aura!”
