C26 (2/2)

Early morning of the next day, while the police were still sleeping, Fang Zishu went out with his backpack on his back. His pace was fast, and by noon, he had already arrived at his first destination, Yellow River Town.

The town was not big, and it was only a small area next to the ferry. The small streets were bustling with people, and it was possible to see foreign merchants and fishermen bargaining everywhere.

He found a restaurant that seemed to be of a slightly better quality and prepared a meal. After a short rest, he headed towards the Yellow River Ferry. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few fish fishing on the Yellow River shore, but none of them could take him to the other side.

”Hey, fellow villager, I'm in a hurry to get to the other side. How are we going to get there?”

Fang Zishu asked a middle-aged man who looked simple and honest, but when he heard Fang Zishu's words, his face paled. He looked at Fang Zishu in fear, and then ran off as if he was running for his life.

Fang Zishu frowned, wondering if his appearance was so frightening.

Fang Zishu was speechless. He could only find another person to ask, ”Aunt, I want to go to the other side. Do you know where the boat is?”

Aunt had been tidying up her little stall, but when she heard Fang Zishu's question, her face turned deathly pale as if she had seen a terrifying demon. She didn't even need anything before she ran off.

Fang Zishu frowned and asked a few questions in succession, but they were all the same. Not to mention that these people were unwilling to tell him, even the fishermen and boatmen were unwilling to take him across the river.

”This is really strange!”

Fang Zishu was already aware that there was something wrong here, but no one was willing to tell him the reason. He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Even the map that his grandfather had given him did not mention it.

”Hey!” I don't believe it! ”

Fang Zishu stomped his feet in anger and turned to walk down the Yellow River. The map had already indicated that there was a county tens of kilometers away from the Yellow River Town, and there was no need to worry about not finding a boat that could pass by.

”Young man, you want to cross the river?”

Fang Zishu turned around and saw an old man lying under a tree on the side of the road, watching him. Although his clothes were tattered and he had a full beard, his eyes were as bright and sharp as an eagle's!

This was an incredible person!

Fang Zishu immediately came to this conclusion and hurried forward with a smile. ”That's right, I'm in a hurry to cross the river, but there's no one in the town to take me there. It's really depressing!”

”Hehehehe, they definitely won't dare to ride you!”

The old man's smile was extremely sinister, causing Fang Zhushu to feel goosebumps all over his body.

”Because I'm the ferryman, and they don't dare to rob me of my business!”
