Chapter 1798: The Bandits on the Bijiang River

It was still past four in the afternoon, and the sun had not yet set.

Duan Chenfeng was looking for a private yacht.

Of course, it was not a luxury yacht worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

It was an electric motor boat that he had modified himself.

If you didn't look at the water under your feet, you would think you were riding a tractor!

The captain of the boat was a dark-skinned man wearing ethnic costumes.

You couldn't tell his actual age, but he had a son who was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Although the captain of the boat was silent and serious, his son was a chatterbox and could chat with anyone.

According to him, his name was Yan Shuisheng, and no one had called his father's name for decades. Everyone called him Old Man Yan.

"Brother, if you didn't give us so much money, we wouldn't cross the river at night!"

Yan Shuisheng looked at Chen Xin'an, curled his lips and said, "There has been no private boat crossing the river at night at Bijiang Ferry for three years!"

Chen Xin'an looked at the river and asked him, "Is there a tide at night?"

Yan Shuisheng shook his head and said, "That's not the case! It's mainly because there are patrol boats at night, and people are not allowed to enter the mountains at night.

It was very strict in the past. It was difficult to deal with them when caught, and even giving money didn't work.

There was even a death!"

Mongbowa nodded and said, "Indeed! The ancient Miao people are very wary of people outside the mountains, and basically don't let people outside the mountains enter the mountains at night!

However, with the continuous efforts of the authorities, this rule has actually been abolished long ago!"

Yan Shuisheng curled his lips and said: "Just because the rule is abolished, it does not mean that this custom is gone."

Li Qi asked with a puzzled look: "What do you mean? Is there anyone in charge now?"

"Of course not!" Yan Shuisheng cursed angrily: "If you are unlucky, you will encounter a patrol boat, not only will you be beaten, but you will also be fined! Sometimes the boat is even detained!"

Mongbowa snorted and said: "What does that have to do with us ancient Miao people? It's all you outsiders who did it!"

Yan Shuisheng also felt a little guilty and sighed helplessly.

Seeing the puzzled looks on Chen Xin'an and Li Qi's faces, he shook his head and said:

"The handicrafts of the ancient Miao people have been very popular in recent years, and a hand-woven bag can be sold for thousands of yuan.

In order to monopolize this business, some merchants have occupied several ferry crossings.

They go directly into the Miao village to collect the goods and do not allow others to enter.

They bully outsiders and use the excuse that the ancient Miao people do not welcome visitors at night!"

Chen Xin'an and Li Qi nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Li Qi looked at Yan Shuisheng and said, "Then do you two dare to send us in?"

Yan Shuisheng's face darkened and he stared at the river in a daze.

After a while, he finally spoke: "My mother just passed away. She suffered from bone cancer for three years.

We sold everything that could be sold at home and still owed people 300,000 yuan.

We don't care so much.

Go on the boat more and make money to pay off the debt!"

Monbowa curled her lips and said jokingly: "You can take your father to the mountains!

In the past two years, it has become popular in the ancient Miao people to marry into the family.

As long as you go into the mountains and become a son-in-law of the ancient Miao people, you don't have to pay back your previous debts!

Aren't there many people outside the mountains who do this?"

Yan Shuisheng was insulted, staring at Monbowa and shouting: "What are you talking about! Am I Yan Shuisheng that kind of person?"

"Tsk, hypocrisy!" Monbowa sneered, looked at him and said: "For the sake of 800 yuan of boat fare, you dare to go to the mountains at night? You have come to Bijiang, why are you still pretending to be serious here!

Do you still look down on live-in sons-in-law?

With your conditions, whether you can get a wife is another matter!

With a pile of debts, which girl will be interested in you! "

Yan Shuisheng snorted coldly and said: "Listen to me!

I never said I looked down on live-in sons-in-law!

As long as she likes me and I like her, it doesn't matter to me whether she lives with me or not!

I won't run to the mountains to escape debts!

People lent me money when I was in the most difficult time.

Not only did they give my mother a chance to survive, but they also gave me trust! More importantly, they were affectionate!

I, Yan Shuisheng, can endure hardships and work hard. Even if I die of poverty and starvation in this life, I must pay off my debts!

Why do you want to escape debts? "

Monbowa was speechless.

Chen Xinan looked at Yan Shuisheng with great interest, smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said: "Little brother, you did the right thing!"

Somewhat excited, Yan Shuisheng said to everyone with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, everyone, I didn't mean to contradict the guests..."

Guandu took off his shoes, sat on the bow, put his feet in the water and said: "Wow! It's so cool! The water here is so clear that you can see the bottom of the water!"

Yan Shuisheng hurriedly said to her: "Guest, take your feet out quickly. Foot bathing is not allowed in this section of Bijiang.

The water here is so clear that you can drink it directly!"

Everyone laughed.

If you say the water is clear, everyone will not object, but if you say it is drinkable, that's far-fetched.

At this moment, a red bag floated over the river. Yan Shuisheng used a pole to poke it, but it turned out to be some garbage left over from snacks!

Can you drink this?

Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?

Yan Shuisheng's face was also red and his neck was thick.

But this time, Monbowa nodded and said, "Even now, we ancient Miao people are still drinking Bijiang water!

But the water in the mountains is clearer and sweeter.

I've never drunk the water here!"

Just then, a bunch of things floated over in front.

Yan Shuisheng said angrily, "These tourists are really, I've told you countless times not to litter in Bijiang, but you just don't listen!"

Bijiang is a tourist spot, and even some Gu Miao villages are tourist attractions.

So tourist boats are often seen on the river.

As long as you don't go into the mountains at night and only visit Bijiang, no one will care.

But when two password boxes floated on the river, everyone frowned.

This is not garbage, no one would throw away a good password box as garbage!

And there are red scratches on the password box, which should be blood!

A lot of oil was floating in front, mixed with red blood.

Yan Shuisheng stood up and said solemnly: "Something happened in front! I'll go tell my dad!"

He walked quickly to the stern, and came back in less than two minutes, saying to everyone: "Boss, please go into the cabin.

We'll go around the front and continue on our way!"

Chen Xinan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we'll be fine here."

Yan Shuisheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay! But if you meet anyone and anything happens later, don't say anything, we will handle it!"

Chen Xinan nodded.

The sound of the motor increased, and the boat moved forward quickly.

Soon, a small passenger ship was seen on the river in front, and two speedboats blocked its way beside it.

There was crying on the passenger ship, and someone was holding a machete, chopping a man frantically, and blood flowed into the Bijiang River along the side of the ship!

Seeing the boat Chen Xinan was riding passing by, the group of people holding machetes all turned their heads and stared at the boat.

Yan Shuisheng's face turned pale, his teeth chattered, and he said to Chen Xinan: "Boss, it's a pearl buyer from Southern Xinjiang!

Or, let's go back first and come back tomorrow!"

Monbowa's face also changed, and she cursed: "These robbers! They are all a bunch of lunatics!"

Chen Xinan frowned and asked in confusion: "Pearl buyers from Southern Xinjiang? Pirates?"

Yan Shuisheng shook his head and said: "Not pirates, but worse than pirates!

There is a kind of jewelry that is popular all over the country in Lingnan. Do you know what it is?"

Li Qi said: "Black pearls!"

"Yes!" Yan Shuisheng nodded and said: "Lingnan black pearls are river pearls, not sea pearls.

And the best black pearls are cultivated by the ancient Miao people!

In fact, black pearls are not expensive when they are purchased.

But they are hyped up to sky-high prices by these pearl buyers!

They are the ones who make the most profit from black pearls!

And there is only one company that is doing the black pearl business in this area.

That is the Pang brothers in Yongqi Town!

They are all overlords who kill without blinking an eye!"
