Chapter 99 If You See Him, Please Let Him Cross the River

"do not know."

Su Mu shook his head, because it was not that he had to guard the river, but he needed to earn favor points by guarding the river to refine the river before he could leave.

Otherwise, who would be free to guard this broken river every day?

Moreover, he himself really didn't know how long it would take to refine this river.

"what happened?"

Su Mu frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"nothing."

"It's just that I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Brother Su can help me."

"It's a little thought."

After saying that, the old man took out a wooden box from his wide sleeves and handed it to Su Mu.

"Tell me first what it is. I can't guarantee that I can help."

When doing things, you cannot agree to something first. You have to first see what the other party asks for. This is a negotiation tactic.

The old man stretched out his right hand, closed his eyes, and began to calculate something. After calculating for a long time, he finally raised his head and said, "About three months later, a 17-year-old youth named 'Gui' will cross the river."

"I hope Brother Su can let him go."

Hearing this, Su Mu smiled and replied: "Okay, there is no problem with this."

He thought it was something serious, so he accepted the old man's wooden box and continued to ask, "Three months later, right?"

"Yes, the earliest is three months, and the latest will not exceed half a year."

"Thank you, Brother Su. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

After saying that, the old man clasped his hands together and bowed heavily to Su Mu to express his gratitude.

"It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so polite. It's just a small favor."

For Su Mu, this matter was a piece of cake, and Su Mu had already received the crossing fee in advance, so according to the rules, he would be allowed to cross the river.

"If that young man doesn't show up after half a year..."

"Brother Su, there's no need to wait any longer. He must have had an accident."

The old man said slowly.

"Is he your grandson?"

Su Mu asked.

This question made the old man fall silent. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "It can be counted, or it can be not counted."

"Don't worry, if he shows up, I will make sure he gets through safely."

Su Mu is a very principled person. He will do things if he is paid, and he also hates those who don't do things if they are paid.

"Thank you very much."

"Then I won't bother Brother Su anymore."

"I'll take my leave now."

As he spoke, the old man picked up the bamboo pole on the fishing boat, paddled in the water, turned the boat around and headed downstream.

The old man's fishing boat was going much faster than before, following the current, and the candlelight soon disappeared at the end of the river.
Su Mu withdrew his gaze only after the fishing boat disappeared.

What a weird old man. I don't know what level of cultivation he is at. I can't even see through him.
However, this old man was kind, unlike some people who came to the river to make trouble, who looked honest on the surface, but in the next second, they would directly chop at him with a knife. He was the easiest and most sensible person to get along with in the past two years.

After returning to the shore, Su Mu first put away the wooden box and began to carefully examine the new fishing rod.

I don't know what kind of wood this fishing rod is made of. It's very heavy, but also very soft and tough. The fishing line is also very special, very thin, almost less than one millimeter, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.

Su Mu pulled it hard and found it was very strong, so he stopped pulling.

Just like many people drop a glass cup from a tall building to test its strength, it finally breaks into pieces, but the cup is also ruined.

Although Su Mu now has many ways to catch precious fish, such as ground traps, fish nets, etc., he always catches the top-level precious fish himself.

After all, the better the treasure fish is, the smarter it is. Even if it is caught in a fishing net, it will try every means to escape.

After putting away the fishing rod, he took out the wooden box.

After opening it, I found a stone blade inside, about 18 centimeters long. It was very light in the hand, but the blade was very blunt. Could it be really sharp?

Then, Su Mu took out a shell-shaped defensive magic weapon from the space ring, ready to test its sharpness.

He held the stone blade and chopped at the magic weapon. The moment it touched the magic weapon, the shell-shaped magic weapon instantly shattered into pieces and floated in the air.

Seeing this, Su Mu widened his eyes.

So strong!
At this time, Su Mu took out his silver dagger, scratched the stone blade lightly with the silver dagger, and found that no trace was left!

Judging from this performance, this stone blade is almost the same as the silver dagger, but the attack of this stone blade is more violent than that of the silver dagger. The silver dagger can easily cut through anything.

It seems that this stone blade can be used as an offensive magic weapon.

It was a very quiet night. Except for the wild boar that was hung up and was still shivering, everyone slept soundly.

The next day, Su Mu went out early in the morning.

The wild boar was still hanging on the tree, looking hopeless. Hey, hey, hey! Can you please give me some quick death? What's the point of hanging me here?
After Nannan woke up, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, said good morning to Liu Ma, and then came to Qingniu.

"Uncle Niu, let's go."

Nannan jumped onto the back of the blue ox and walked along the river in the opposite direction of her father.
She sat on the back of the green ox with a small notebook in her hand. Wherever she went, if she found anything unusual, she would write down the detailed location.

Because my father told me not to get too close to the river and not to swim in it. If I come across stranded fish or shrimp, I shouldn't pick them up. If I come across a river channel that has been washed away by water, I shouldn't repair it rashly.

In short, no matter what abnormal situations you encounter, you should ignore them.

However, Nannan will write down these abnormal situations and hand them over to her father to deal with, because this is her father's daily job.

Ever since Nannan could remember, she knew that this river belonged to her home. Her father would go to maintain the river every day. In Nannan's eyes, this river was also very important because they depended on this river for their daily food and they relied on the river for their survival.

Therefore, Nannan will help Dad as much as possible to protect this river together.

After a busy day, little girl arrived home earlier than her father.

She picked up the kettle in front of the yard and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

But as soon as she entered the vegetable garden, the little girl was scared.

Then she immediately ran out of the vegetable garden and wandered back and forth in front of Liu Ma, anxiously waiting for her father to come home.

After a long time, Dad finally came back.

Nannan immediately ran over, holding Su Mu's hand and said, "Daddy, something seems to have happened in our vegetable garden."

At this time, Su Mu thought of the seed he planted yesterday. He had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly ran to the backyard.
