When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure
Chapter 81 The Poor Scholar, the Good Man
The man is a straightforward person. ♦♦ ♦♦
After rowing the boat for only an incense stick of time, he cleared up all his family affairs.
He said his name was Niu Xiao and his father was Niu Da. They rowed boats for generations and were very good at boating.
When talking about gods and immortals, Niu Xiao's eyes always lit up.
But when talking about Jianghu people, he changed his face again.
He started to complain.
This Qulong River used to be very peaceful.
It was only after the Lingtian Dynasty split.
This river became the dividing line between the Litian Dynasty and the Chitian Dynasty.
Because of the complex mountain terrain, there were no troops stationed on both sides.
And because of the political power.
This is a difficult area for both sides to manage. After a few years of development, I don't know how many Jianghu people have been attracted.
It has become a famous gathering place for Jianghu people.
The word Jianghu is often tied to loyalty.
But it also means chaos and violence.
Just as he was talking.
The boat came to a winding bend.
Niu Xiao held the bamboo pole tightly with both hands, lowered his center of gravity, spread his legs wide, stepped on both sides of the bamboo raft, and controlled the direction of the bamboo raft by lowering the edge of the bamboo raft.
The bamboo raft successfully crossed the river.
Niu Xiao looked proud and threw a wink at Li Changxiao.
It seemed that he was asking with his eyes.
My skills are okay.
Li Changxiao nodded, thinking that this kid really has something, but maybe he is young and energetic, only caring about being handsome and not stable.
Anyway, Li Changxiao was splashed with a lot of water.
Li Changxiao killed 8,000 cavalrymen, and his white clothes were not stained with a drop of blood.
Today, he took a small boat and his clothes got wet.
But he didn't care.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a white floating object in the river ahead.
Li Changxiao pointed with his finger, Niu Xiao looked at it, frowned, and felt that it was a person.
Niu Xiao did not hesitate. He immediately took the bamboo pole, hooked the man's clothes, and pulled back hard.
The floating object slowly approached.
As expected.
It was really a person.
It was a scholar who drowned. His abdomen was bulging, but he was not dead yet, which proved that he had not been in the water for a long time.
Li Changxiao and Niu Xiao looked at each other.
Neither of them was willing to sacrifice themselves to give artificial respiration to the scholar. After all, they could not get over the psychological barrier.
But if he did not give artificial respiration, the scholar would surely die. We could not just leave it alone and let another floating corpse float on the river, right?
Li Changxiao took out fifty coins and pointed at the drowning scholar.
Niu Xiao's eyes lit up, patted his chest, opened his mouth and rushed over.
The process was smooth.
After coughing a few mouthfuls of water, the scholar slowly woke up.
Li Changxiao poured a glass of wine, kindly letting the other party warm up his body. Unexpectedly, after the scholar took it, he thought it was water, and swallowed it directly. He coughed violently because of the spiciness of the wine.
Li Changxiao smiled embarrassedly and took back the wine gourd.
He had two wine gourds.
One was filled with peach blossom wine, which was specially used to entertain guests.
The other was filled with drunkenness, which he drank himself and occasionally used to entertain guests.
He gave the scholar peach blossom wine, which was not strong, but it still choked the scholar.
It took a long time.
The scholar finally recovered his breath.
Li Changxiao and Niu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time.
The unexpected scholar jumped into the river with a splash.
Niu Xiao was so anxious that he cursed, "You are such a bad guy. You want to die, but I won't let you die today."

As he said that, he pinched his nose and jumped into the water. His unicorn arm, which was trained by years of wind and sun, grabbed the scholar at once, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless.
Finally, with the help of Li Changxiao, the scholar was finally put on the bamboo raft.
The scholar was determined to die and was determined to jump into the river.
The two men were unwilling to do so. Li Changxiao held his hands and Niu Xiao held his legs.
The scholar was determined to die and struggled desperately. Li Changxiao saw that this was not going to work, so he unscrewed the stopper of the wine gourd with one hand, asked Niu Xiao to pinch the scholar's mouth open, and stuffed the wine gourd into the scholar's mouth.
There were a few gurgling sounds.
The scholar drank a lot of wine and was drunk. Finally, he didn't commit suicide.
Turning around, he told about his grievances and experiences.
Niu Xiao continued to row the boat.
Just listening to the scholar's experience, he couldn't help but get angry.
"What a wicked villain who did evil!" He was so angry that he hit the river with a pole.
After the scholar finished talking about his experience, he was already in tears, and said miserably that there was no point in living, it would be better to just die.
This time, Niu Xiao didn't stop him.
There was no way. The scholar's experience was too miserable. It might be more comfortable to die.
After studying hard for more than 20 years, he finally passed the imperial examination, but the Lingtian Dynasty split up.
The place where he was was included in the Litian Dynasty.
All the achievements of more than 20 years were nullified.
This was just the beginning.
Later, he encountered betrayal, deception, and frame-up...
The last straw that broke the camel's back.
It was his virtuous wife and children who heard that their mother was seriously ill and went back to visit her by boat at night, but they were caught by the pirates!
He went to seek help from the government, but was rejected and was beaten with more than a dozen boards.
In desperation, he sold his house and sold his house again, barely raising 70 taels, carrying the silver and going up the mountain to redeem his wife.
When he thought of the bowl of hot soup his wife brought him on those nights when he was studying hard.
When I think of how my wife weaves from dawn to dusk every day to make a living, her hands, which have never touched water, are worn out with calluses.
These good scholars all remember, so he can not care about anything, but as a man's bottom line, he will not give up a step.
However, after going up the mountain, the silver was robbed, and the water bandits kicked him into the river.
Before he drowned and lost consciousness.
The laughter of the water bandits was in his ears.
He lost both his money and his life.
Miserable!
But...
This is the troubled times.
Niu Xiao was silent.
I don't know what he was thinking.
Li Changxiao touched the long sword and was about to tell the scholar that he was a Jianghu man with some martial arts skills, and maybe he could help him go up the mountain.
But he didn't say anything.
Niu Xiao suddenly made a move, pulled the water surface with a pole, and said angrily, "Damn, it's outrageous, where are those water bandits? I set fire to his mountain!"
Hearing this,
Li Changxiao took back the words that had not been spoken.
He was a little curious about what Niu Xiao would do.
To be honest.
When they first met, he actually had a good impression of this man who talked nonsense.
The scholar's eyes lit up, and then immediately dimmed, "Forget it, you are dressed like this, and you don't know martial arts, how can you fight those water bandits?"
"You'd better pretend that you didn't hear it. If you make the water bandits unhappy, you may not be able to continue your job as a passenger."
The scholar said with a wry smile.
Niu Xiao paused when he heard this.
