Chapter 11 The Ferryman

"There is no paper. If I had known this, I would have taken a little more from the thatched cottage."
Unfortunately, after Lu Yun took off the painting of the hut yesterday, no matter how he picked up the painting, he never responded and could only look at it but not use it.
I think it should be that his level is not enough and he cannot control it at all.
After complaining, Lu Yun continued to take a boat ride, hoping to arrive at a crowded place as soon as possible so as to buy some paper.
Let’s see the river floating and sinking. I don’t know how long it has been floating like this. Before I knew it, there were more people walking along the riverside.
Some of these people carry shoulder poles, while others carry ox carts, and they all walk in a hurry.
On the banks of the river, most of the pedestrians along the road were nearby villagers or peddlers and pawns.
Lu Yun, who was sitting alone on the boat, was enjoying the scene by the river. This was the second time he saw the people in this world after Wang Zhang and Zuochi. He was a little curious in his heart, so he couldn't help but look at them seriously.
Perhaps because of the series of experiences that Lu Yun’s mood became different.
Lu Yun could calm down and observe carefully about these ordinary people's busy life scenes.
On the banks of the river, peddlers and barracks were promoted to fight against the common people, with different shapes and heroic people.
Some people seem vulgar, but it is not difficult to see the straightforwardness in their behavior.
Some of them seem to have a smile on their faces, but there are mostly sad faces between their eyebrows.
There is also indifference, but if someone falls, he is still willing to help.
If it weren't for the lack of paper in his hand, Lu Yun would have wanted to draw this Ukiyo-Eternal painting on earth.
Just when Lu Yun was out of mind, he carefully studied the words and deeds of the people along the way, and secretly recorded the appearances of all living beings in his heart.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Let's slower, slower, you'll bump it!"
I saw Lu Yun riding in front of the boat, a man wearing a straw raincoat, standing on the bamboo raft and shouting in a hurry.
The distance between the two was only a few meters. Because of their distraction, Lu Yun's black-topped boat was about to hit the bamboo raft.
Seeing this, Lu Yun quickly thought of it and controlled the boat like an arm to avoid it.
This scene really scared the two of them.
The old man on the bamboo raft had dark skin and gray hair, and said angrily: "Why are you, the young man, doing so recklessly? There are so many undercurrents under the river. If the boat capsizes accidentally, it will be too late to regret it!"
Lu Yun knew that in a strict sense, what had just happened was probably his fault, after all, he was just distracted and wandering.
So he stood up and stood at the bow of the boat, bowed and apologized, "It's my junior who didn't notice it for a while, so I'm scared you, senior!"
But the old man frowned tightly, picked up the pole and controlled the bamboo raft to distance him from Lu Yun.
"You young man, why don't you sit down quickly and don't fall into the water!
I really don’t know that water and fire are ruthless, and I don’t even hold a pole in my hand. If the boat capsizes, don’t think it can survive easily!”
The old fisherman wandered on this river for a lifetime and naturally knew the dangers under the river.
The river surface seems calm, but in fact it is a surging undercurrent!
Every year, people fall into the water and die, and only young people like Lu Yun, who are ignorant and fearless.
Lu Yun knew when he heard this that although the old man spoke very violently, it was not difficult to see that the man was also enthusiastic and could only sit cross-legged on the bow of the boat slowly, smiling and not saying anything.
After all, the other party didn't know that the small boat under him only needed to control it mentally.
Even so, it is magical enough in the eyes of ordinary people, but Lu Yun always feels it is not enough.
Now he only hopes that one day he can break through the situation outside the painting and realize the meaning of clumsy and ugly.
Maybe at that time, you can draw a living creature and ride it directly on it. It is both a fairy-like spirit and no effort.
Oh no, I have to talk about some style, then draw a Qilin to sit!
For a moment, Lu Yun was a little imaginative, but he quickly reacted and said inwardly: "You'd better take it slowly, you can't eat it in one breath to become fat."
On the other side, the old man saw that although Lu Yun had listened to the advice, he still did not take out any wooden oars or other things to control the hull.
He shook his head and thought to himself that this was the first time he saw such a desperate person!
But he was a hard-mouthed person and soft-hearted person, so he still said angrily: "You young man, you will arrive at Jiangshendu ten miles away later. Be careful, don't say that my old man didn't tell you that there is something weird there.
Like you, you may not be sure to get into the water and feed the fish. I miss your parents to pull you so big!"
When Lu Yun heard the word "weird" and immediately became interested. The old fisherman seemed to be saying that Jiang Shendu was not like that!
He asked with a smile: "Old man, what do you mean by this? Is there something amazing about Jiang Shendu?"
Seeing Lu Yun’s curious look, the old fisherman knew that this person must have come from another place.
With God's virtue of being alive, he is unwilling to lose his life at a young age.
So he spoke, "If you want to say that this Jiang Shendu is in good weather, it's just that somewhere I offended Mr. Jiang. It's been about ten years since I said that...
Anyway, all the villages in these ten miles and eight villages are called to worship the gods every year, but..."
When talking about this, the old fisherman stopped talking, as if he had any concerns.
But Lu Yun did not give up and said, "Why don't you say it anymore? Is there something unspeakable hidden? "
The fisherman shook his head and said slowly for a long time: "It's a sin..."
He immediately advised: "Just like you are taking a boat, old man, I would like to advise you to go ashore later and take a stable land route."
After saying that, he stopped talking and drove the bamboo raft toward the shore.
Seeing this situation, there is a saying that comes from what it means to thunder strikes for half a day!
When Lu Yun saw that the fisherman was about to go ashore, he complained in his heart: "You finished saying it, what does it mean to hide it? Isn't this annoying thing?"
Therefore, he hurriedly controlled the boat to follow closely. As soon as the fisherman got ashore, Lu Yun followed him.
The fisherman tied the bamboo raft to a wooden stake on the shore and saw Lu Yun throwing the boat into the water. He didn't care about it and was very bachelor.
He hurriedly said, "Youngsheng, you are planning to change to land. Why not go to the next ferry where the boat can be stopped? Don't be washed away by the water!"
"It's okay, the old ones don't go to the new ones!"
As he spoke, he saw the black tent in the water floating farther and farther away. Seeing this, the fisherman shouted loudly: "Hey hey, hurry up, the boat is leaving, the boat is leaving!"
As he said that, he was about to step onto the bamboo raft again to chase the boat, but was stopped by Lu Yun. Lu Yun smiled and said, "If you can't keep this boat, let it go!"
Seeing this, the fisherman was reluctant to leave his eyes and stomped his feet and shouted loudly: "Oh, this ship is at least 80% new. Isn't this abusive? Why don't you care about things like this in your youth?"
"Hahaha, the elder is right. Next time, I will definitely pay attention next time!"
Hearing this, the fisherman groaned, no matter how he looked, he felt that he was disliked in front of him.
The fisherman's expression suddenly reminded Lu Yun of the previous life's elders who saw him wasting food, and seemed to be glaring at him with this look.
Lu Yun couldn't explain anything, but the fisherman glanced at him with a bad face, then carried the pole on his shoulder and left.
On the other side, above the river, a small boat drifted with the waves overnight, floating and sinking.
It was the black tent that Lu Yun rode, but when he saw the boat reaching a while, the boat gradually sinking. When it sinks into the water, it begins to slowly disperse like marshmallows melting, and gradually drifts completely in the river water, without seeing it.
As for Lu Yun, he kept following the fisherman, who didn't want to pay attention to him at first. For those who are used to hard life like him, the most shameful thing is extravagance and waste.
Like Lu Yun, throwing the boat just by saying that he would be a sin in his eyes.
However, as he was about to arrive at his own village, Lu Yun was still following him like a shadow.
