    ?

    There were only a few hundred people on the boat, and most of them were poor. There were only so many people who were really willing to spend a tael of silver to paint with Yunjing. After all, the thing was inedible, so after the initial novelty, they went to Yunjing.  There are fewer and fewer people painting.

    Since then, Yunjing¡¯s business of making money by helping people paint on the boat only lasted three days and could no longer continue.

    On the first day, he gained more than fifty taels of silver, and on the second day, he earned more than twenty taels. On the third day, from morning to afternoon, he only painted five paintings in total.

    Adding everything up, Yunjing earned about eighty taels of silver on the boat. After earning the ship's fare, there was still more than thirty taels more.

    Although the painting business could no longer continue, Yunjing was still very happy because he still made money.

    "Brother Yun, aren't you bored? I don't know if anyone will come to you to paint. Why bother setting up a stall?"

    At noon on the fourth day, although there were no customers, Yunjing still kept the stall open. Luo Zheng had nothing to do on the boat, and he didn't know many people. He was so idle that he came to accompany Yunjing and chat with him.  Time to kill.

    Yunjing took a book and read it slowly. Hearing the words, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I am idle anyway. If someone comes, I will make money."

    "I really admire your patience. If I had been sitting around like you for a long time and no one came, I would have given up on it a long time ago," Luo Zheng said with a thumbs up.

    Yunjing shook his head and said speechlessly: "Relatively speaking, I admire your patience, Brother Luo."

    "Why?" Luo Zheng asked in shock.

    Yunjing said: "It's not obvious. I can sit here all day without feeling bored. On the contrary, you have been bored with me, a boring person, for so long. Aren't you more patient than me?"

    ??Blinking, Luo Zheng thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's true." After a pause, he added: "What? Actually, I think it's a loss for those people not to come to you to paint."

    "Why did Brother Luo say this?"

    Luo Zheng grinned and said: "Brother Yun, anyway, I think you will be very promising in the future. Now no one pays for a painting with just one tael of silver. When you become famous all over the world in the future, it is estimated that a painting will be worth ten thousand yuan.  Tell me, how miserable will those people suffer in the future? I think their intestines will be filled with regret."

    ¡°Brother Luo, you¡¯re teasing me with this again,¡± Yunjing curled his lips.

    Luo Zheng stood up, began to take off his clothes, and said carelessly: "That's what I feel anyway."

    "Brother Luo, are you here again?" Seeing him starting to take off his clothes, Yun Jing was speechless.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????? Luo Zheng took off his trousers and showed off a strong body, flexing his muscles and saying: "It's boring, brother Yun, please look at me and salute, I'm going to swim in the river."

    As he spoke, he jumped a few meters high, drew an arc, and fell headlong into the river. The water spray was so heavy that Yun Jing estimated that even the Olympic champions in his previous life would be ashamed, and he didn't know how deep he had dived.  No matter how far you have to swim, you won't show up for a while anyway.

    "This guy is not afraid of being swallowed by a big fish in the river."

    Yunjing shook his head and ignored him. Anyway, he often did similar things these days.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out in the distance, were pointing and yelling at Yunjing, saying that Luo Zheng had a cold and was immoral.

    ¡°It¡¯s so shameless for Luo Zheng to look like that in broad daylight.

    However, since you think Luo Zheng has a cold and is immoral, he covers his eyes and covers his eyes with the quilt. Why are his fingers spread so far apart?

    Hehe, woman

    "Um?"

    After a while, Luo Zheng did not come up, but Yunjing found that the cargo ship had slowed down and was still approaching the river. The problem was that there were no docks and towns on the river, so why slow down and move closer?  Even for supplies, we have to find a town dock or something like that.

    "Mr. Yun, there is no village or shop in front of or behind. The boat seems to be docking at the shore. Do you know what happened?"

    Bai Zhi, who was in the same cabin, came to Yunjing with a dagger and asked.

    After a few days of getting along, the two of them have become very familiar with each other. Bai Zhi rolled her eyes when she saw Luo Zheng's clothes next to Yunjing, knowing what the other person was doing, so she was not surprised.

    Yunjing shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

    After thinking about it, he simply closed the stall, since there were no customers coming anyway.

    At this time, a sailor from the cargo ship came over, and Yunjing asked by the way: "Brother, why does the ship feel like it's stopping?"

    The sailor untied the rope of the sail and cooperated with others to lower the sail, and replied: "Master Huiyun, it's like this. Not far ahead there will be a section of the river with nearly 20 miles of fast current. In that section  Waters, just by the cargo ship's sail and waterI felt quite relaxed after I came down"

    As he was talking, he found that Yun Jing and others were not in high spirits, so he asked in shock: "What's wrong with you?"

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Brother Luo, I just feel a little unhappy when I see the poor life of those trackers¡± Bai Zhi pointed to the shack in the distance and sighed.

    After understanding the details, Luo Zheng thought for a while and said: "If I have the opportunity to reach the level of martial arts in the future, I can try to level the bottom of this section of the river. This should end the suffering of these people."

    Yunjing immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Luo, please don't do that. Even if you have the ability in the future, don't do that."

    "Why?" Luo Zheng asked confused.

    Looking at the shacks, Yun Jing sighed slightly and said: "Brother Luo, your idea is good, but have you ever thought about it. Although it is a bit difficult for trackers to pull boats on this stretch of river, they still support so many people."  Man, if you have the ability to level them in the future, where will these people go to make a living?"

    "Uh" Luo Zheng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

    Actually, think about it, are there few people in the world who have the ability to widen and flatten this relationship?  Why doesn't anyone do that?  Isn¡¯t it because this place can support tens of thousands of people? Once this place is flattened and widened, the water flow becomes gentle, and passing ships do not need trackers, where will the tens of thousands of people make a living?

    There are dedicated people on the cargo ship to contact the gangs of regular trackers to discuss the number of people.

    Early the next morning, the cargo ship set sail again.

    But what is different from before is that when the cargo ship sets sail again, a large iron chain stretches out in front, and then ropes are connected to the iron chain. At the other end of the rope, there are thousands of trackers on the shore.

    Nearly three thousand trackers, bare-chested and barefoot, tied ropes to themselves and walked for hundreds of meters. They gritted their teeth and dragged the ropes, which almost cut into their flesh. Their bodies leaned forward, almost maintaining an angle of 45 degrees with the ground.  , using all his strength, he dragged the cargo ship upstream little by little.

    It was a difficult journey of nearly twenty miles. The trackers could not stop or relax at all. They had to walk for a whole day. Otherwise, if they could not drag the cargo ship into this section of the river, they would not be able to get the money.  The cargo ship retreated, and under the strong pulling force, the lives of those trackers were still in danger!

    They dragged the cargo ship, chanted neat chants repeatedly, and slowly moved upriver step by step.

    "Hey yo let's go, hey yo go, take one step, you can earn money, take two steps, you can earn rice, take three steps, you will sweat a lot, take four steps, don't  Crying, walking in five steps, the girl is waving, walking in six steps, putting money in the pocket, walking in seven steps, putting rice in the pot, walking in eight steps, putting on clothes, walking in nine steps, my son is urging me  , Walk ten steps, home is behind, walk and walk, trackers are not afraid of the current of the river, but are afraid that there will be no work to do on the river bank, hey yogo, hey yogoone step at a time  ah¡­¡­"
