C2106 Miserable performance
Qi Tianyu was also very happy when he heard it, because if this was the case, he could go onto the river and ask about the news of Xuan Wu Restricted Area with that old man. That way, he might not be able to find out about the news of Xuan Wu Restricted Area very quickly.2
Very quickly, the old man finished cleaning up the mess, because he knew that the situation was urgent and he could not delay Qi Tianyu's time, and one more thing was, he was old and needed to rest early. After pulling this young man over, he had to hurry back to rest, otherwise, this old bones of his really wouldn't be able to take it.
"Thank you uncle for your help. I can't thank you enough. I'm not a rich man, so I'm willing to pay three times the price to cross the river. Please don't mind me."
Qi Tianyu said directly when he saw the old man come out. Because the identity he was borrowing this time was that of someone whose family members were critically ill and in need of life-saving medicine, he had to put on a good act. Otherwise, it was very likely that his plans would be affected.
"Young man, don't mention it. I know you're in a hurry. Even if someone else were to meet you, they would help. You don't need to give me money. It must have cost a lot to buy medicine!" This time, this old man will bring you there for free! "
The old man said, and then went to untie the rope on the shore, because he knew that Qi Tianyu was a normal person and he did not look like a rich person. Otherwise, he would have gone around in the horse carriage a long time ago.
After all, he had earned a lot of money every day, which was enough for him to eat and drink by himself. Thus, when he heard Qi Tianyu say that he would give him three times the salary, he immediately rejected his offer and didn't intend to take his money.
"Uncle, this isn't easy either. Since you're willing to take more money, you still have to pay a normal price, because this is something you used your labor to buy. No matter what, it is reasonable, so otherwise, I won't be a boat anymore."
Qi Tianyu also pretended to be a very simple and honest ordinary farmer. After saying such words, Qi Tianyu truly felt that he was a kind-hearted ordinary person.
"You brat, forget it, hurry up and board the ship. I will charge you your original price, and you can do it this way, right?"
When the two of them were chatting, the old man had already prepared the boat. As long as Qi Tianyu was on board, he could leave immediately.
However, this was something that only honest people would do. The old man also felt that what he did was very right because he helped such a kind and simple person. Faced with Qi Tianyu's insistence, the old man chose to compromise.
After all, if they were here, it might delay the patient's best treatment. If they were to let him in or out, then his ferry would not be a rescue but a harming.
"Alright!" Thank you uncle, luckily I have you today, or else I really wouldn't know what to do! "
Qi Tianyu also leaped up with him, and after going up, he continued to thank this old man. It was true that he did not care whether or not this old man was a person of Xuan Wu Restricted Area.
"It's fine. You're the one who rushed this place. Even if you didn't run into me, there would have been others who would have helped you." No matter who it is, they would be willing to help you with this sort of thing. But I see that you are rather polite. What relative of the family is sick? "
The old man didn't feel like he had done anything great, because this kind of thing seemed to make things difficult for him. However, he really liked this polite young man, so he asked him where he came from and which relative of his was sick.
"Oh, I am a member of the Tu Clan from the nearby Lingyun Stronghold, and the one who is sick in the family is my brother, because he has been busy raising us all these years and did a lot of heavy work. Just a few days ago, he suddenly fell ill and let the doctor come over to take a look. Moreover, the treatment is extremely troublesome, and only your city needs medicinal ingredients. Since there's no other way, we had to scrape together some money to buy medicinal ingredients. Who knew that there would be so many people buying medicinal ingredients, so we wasted our time. "
Qi Tianyu was also baffled by the question, he had not considered answering the question beforehand, but luckily, he had made some preparations beforehand. You asked the village near the waiter just in case, but it seemed to have been used as a precaution, so he had relied on a few facts to create a mess, and ended up completing his identity.
"So it's like that!" "Then it's rather urgent, I'll take you there as soon as possible, I can't delay your illness."
When the old man heard that this child was really pitiful, even his pillar had collapsed. However, he couldn't help but quickly bring this child to the other side of the river so that he could quickly go home and buy medicinal herbs to save his brother.
"En, thank you uncle. I don't even know what to say anymore. Anyway, I really want to thank you. If you have a good reward for being a good person, you will definitely live for a hundred years!"
After Qi Tianyu heard the old man's words, he felt that the old man was really good, so he pretended to be agitated and say something incoherent to thank the old man for his help, but he was still quite serious about blessing the old man for his longevity.
Haha, this old man is useless. I'm afraid a hundred years old is not enough, but I have no children, so dying is pretty easy. I hope that when I die, there will be someone to take over my position.
The old man also laughed. Indeed, he had not thought of living for that long. Because he had been on the water all year round, his body had been in contact with too much water. As long as it rained, he would feel some pain. Even though he was getting older, his body was getting worse with each passing day.
His only wish now was to wait until after his death for someone to take over his work and continue to benefit the ordinary people. After all, he had worked in this industry for a lifetime, and he already had feelings for them. If there came a day when he was no longer around and no one came to replace him, those ordinary people might not be able to cross the river.
If so, ordinary people would have to take a detour, because they had no money, so they couldn't afford to ride in a carriage, which might take a day or two, which might make it inconvenient for them to travel. The kind old man always thought for others, so he was a little worried. However, today, he found Qi Tianyu to be of good taste, so he said a few more words.
