Chapter 6 Crossing the River

"What should I do?" Changsun Jin said helplessly: "It's not to kill or tie it up, how to steal the ship?"

Changsun Hao was speechless and could not think of any other way, but emphasized: "In short, it cannot harm human life. Think about it, there must be a way."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them were embroidered by Zhang Fei, and they could not pass this corner in their simple heads.

"That...father, I thought of a solution."

Changsun Hong's voice suddenly sounded and said weakly behind everyone. Everyone was unable to stop, and they were stunned when they heard the sound. The two people blocked in front of him made way aside, revealing Changsun Hong's figure half lying on the stretcher.

With a pale face and thin shoulders, the twelve-year-old boy is an immature adult in the eyes of everyone. He is just a half-baby. The adults who have experienced the world don’t know what to do. What can he think of?

When his father Changsun Hao frowned, he said in a deep voice: "Erlang, this matter is of great importance. What do you know, you little kid? You are aware of it, don't talk nonsense!"

Changsun Jin's eyes lit up and said to his elder brother with a smile: "Don't, brother, Erlang is learning calligraphy and studying in school, but his knowledge is not necessarily worse than us. Didn't he say that there is a golden house in the book? Let's listen to him and make a decision."

After saying that, he blinked at Changsun Hong and said with encouragement: "Erlang just says nothing."

The farmers in Lijia Village around them all looked at Changsun Hong, and with an indifferent expression, they squatted among the grass and waited quietly.

Changsun Hong coughed, raised his head, and said slowly: "Second uncle, I don't know which Zhongjiang is a big river?"

Changsun Jin nodded and said, "Yes, the river is nearly twenty feet wide, and the waves are very fast. There is a patrol post on the other side of the river. The building is ten feet high, and it can be seen very far around."

Changsun Hong understood and said, "I wonder if you uncles, are there anyone who can cross the river with boats?"

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and then shook their heads together. Everyone was a person who was digging food in the mountains, so how could they do the boats and rivers?

"Since that's the case, then this matter not only requires robbing the ship, but also robbing people." Changsun Hong clapped his hands.

"Snatch people?"

Everyone was surprised in unison.

Brother Jin reacted very quickly, and he understood in the blink of an eye, and immediately said, "Yes, just grab the boat but not the people. No one among us can drive the boat, and we have to cross the river while the night is on the river. The boat is on the river, and we can't even tell the difference between the south, south, west and north. Once you are seen by the people on the opposite mail tower, you will be finished. What's more, the river is flooded and the water flows whirlpools. If you don't drive the boat, you may bump into the reef or strand. It's also troublesome."

Changsun Hao also understood that the truth was understood as soon as he explained it. Everyone was focusing on how to steal the boat, but they didn't notice such an obvious loophole. He looked at his son and couldn't help but feel a little more surprised.

Changsun Hong hurriedly said, "That's what it means, crossing the river in the dark is not a skilled person on this section of the river. The boy thinks it's better to pretend to be a person who wants to rent a boat and carry cargo, go to find a poor boat owner with a small family, give him more ship supplies, and lead him to drive a boat to a desolate and secluded place, and then he robbed the boat and took him on the road, and had a round trip. After the matter was done, he gave his family some salt and rice and explained in detail whether it was good or bad. I guess there would be no funeral."

Brother Jin thought for a moment and asked, "This method is good, but the boatman is not stupid. If he doesn't have money to give a deposit, they won't fall into the trap."

He patted his body and said bitterly: "We are so poor that we are so poor that we have money?"

Changsun Hong smiled, pointed to the basket beside him and said, "We have no money, but we have rice. Take a duct of rice and it is said that it is a rice and grain merchant. The boss is in trouble when he encounters a robber. Several friends are going to report to the official in Fushun County. If a duct of rice is used as a ship's ship, the ship's ship will definitely not doubt it, and will definitely fall into the trap!"

The scene calmed down, except for everyone's breathing, the needles could be heard.

Everyone lowered their heads and thought for a while, then focused their eyes on Changsun Hong.

Li Meng looked around and scratched his scalp and whispered: "Uh, I think... Erlang's words make sense."

Someone immediately responded: "I, I feel so too."

"A good way."

"Just do it like that."

"Baozheng, Erlang is right."

For a moment, everyone agreed, and in their heads, they could no longer think of a better way than this idea.

Changsun Hao looked at Brother Jin, and his younger brother smiled and kept nodding.

"Erlang, tell my father, how did you think of this idea?" Changsun Hao frowned and said. He knew his son. He had been cowardly and afraid of trouble since he was a child because of his weakness. He could not make a big fuck even if he could not believe that Erlang would come up with this idea himself.

He asked, looking at the two people closest to Erlang - Li Meng and Li Dafu.

These two guys are honest and silly, and they would not come up with such a clever plan, Changsun Hao thought.

"My son is just a quick and wise man. I don't know how to do it. Anyway, I suddenly have an idea in my mind and I say it out." Changsun Hong said in a low voice, his face as usual.

Changsun Hao was still suspicious, his eyes rolling on Li Meng and Li Dafu. Brother Jin leaned over and said to his ear: "No need to guess, these two people can't teach Erlang. Don't you know what role they are? You and I can't think of the rural farmers who don't recognize big words. Can they think of it?"

Changsun Hao browsed and thought to himself that it was indeed the case. After thinking about it, he whispered: "The ancients said that if he survived the disaster, he would have good fortune. Could it be that Erlang had survived this disease and was actually happy?"

Brother Jin immediately said, "It must be so. Brother, don't delay. It's too late, so just follow his method. Now that things have come to this point, you have to give it a try."

Changsun Hao raised his beard and said to everyone: "Do you have any objections to Erlang's method?"

"It depends entirely on Baozheng's orders, and we have no objection." Everyone spoke in unison.

"Then do it like this." Changsun Hao looked at Jin Ge'er: "I'll leave it to you when looking for a ship owner."

Brother Jin calmed down his smile and said solemnly: "I'll go immediately. Once I have a goal, I'll come back."
