Alayanzong's white wax pole was still pressed against the white-haired tiger's chest, and he further asked:

"You really don't dare?"

"I really don't dare!"

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Refund the boat money."

"You still have to pay for the boat trip."

"Refund the excess shipping money."

"Where's the store money?"

Ala Yanzong glanced sideways at the proprietress who was still covering her butt.

"The excess store money will be refunded as well."

The white-haired tiger lying on the ground nodded, his white hair and beard trembling.

"Can the three of us cross the river?"

Ala Yanzong pointed to the peach of Ula and the waiter at the fishing village shop.

"Yes, yes, of course! The three young heroes can cross the river for free."

“It’s not necessary to pay for it, just charge the shipping fee as much as you need to.”

Having said that, Alayanzong withdrew the white wax rod.

The white-haired tiger was about to crawl up. Perhaps it was due to the pain in his right calf. He walked around, leaned over, picked up the bamboo hat and put it on.

A pair of sinister blue eyes stared at the still panic-stricken landlady, and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and give all the guests your check-out money!"

The landlady responded quickly and ran back to the inn in a panic to withdraw money.

The white-haired tiger shouted to the people on the boat again: "Dear guests, please come ashore to refund the boat money."

Everyone on the boat was stunned and didn't move.

Yeluha was still clever and shouted, "We are going to refund our money!" He jumped up from the cabin first and ran ashore.

The people in the back were waking up from a dream, and one after another they left the boat and went ashore.

When she received the refunded boat money, the young mother holding the little girl looked at Ala Yanzong and said a deep blessing.

Ala Yanzong silently responded with a bow.

Soon, the landlady came down the mountain with her money bag, account book and abacus in hand.

Everyone lined up and received the refund one by one.

Dagujiujiu muttered in the team: "This is a good thing!"

Wanyan punched him in the back, "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Ala Yanzong, Wula Zhitao and the waiter at the fishing village shop were not in a hurry to queue up, but just watched and waited from behind.

The passengers who had refunded their money went back to the pier, boarded the boat, and found a place to sit.

Finally, the landlady walked towards Alayanzong and said in a sharp voice with a smile on her face:

"Young... Young hero, this is your money."

With that said, he handed over two silver coins.

Ala Yanzong only took out one silver dollar and said: "The money that should be collected must still be collected."

The landlady nodded like a chicken rushing to break rice, "Then... then thank you, young hero."

The landlady returned the money to the waiter at the fishing village shop. The waiter nodded at Ala Yanzong and clasped his fists.

The landlady stood aside and looked at the white-haired tiger awkwardly.

The white-haired tiger ignored her, limped onto the dock, picked up the cable, turned around and said:

"Please, young heroes, please come aboard!"

The three Alayanzong people walked onto the wooden boat.

Alayanzong found a seat at the bow of the boat and kept staring at the white-haired tiger.

The white-haired tiger collected the cable, picked up the pennant, and punted the boat away from the shore.

The river gradually became deeper, and the white-haired tiger put down his bamboo pole and raised his oar.

The river surface was rippling, the oars creaked, the water splashed, the oars moved, and the wooden boat slowly sailed towards the west bank.

Everyone on the boat was silent.

Ala Yanzong looked at the white-haired tiger. Although he stood on the bow of the boat and rowed hard, his face remained gloomy, and his sinister blue eyes would glance over from time to time.

Ala Yanzong prevented the white-haired tiger from causing harm due to his jealousy of him. The safety of the people on the boat should not be taken lightly. He always watched his every move and occasionally asked him a few questions.

Seeing that Ala Yanzong had not let down his guard, the white-haired tiger answered the questions word by word.

Gradually, Ala Yanzong came to understand the tricks devised by the White-haired Tiger and the hotel proprietress to earn tourists' money.

On weekdays, there are not many tourists who want to cross this river, so the passing fishing boats take the passengers there.

Tourists only come to the inn to pay attention, or they only stay when it gets too late.

If there are no tourists staying in the hotel for a long time, the proprietress will return to her home on the other side with the fishing boat and stay there for a while.

During the two months since the refugees were on the run, more and more people were crossing the river. The ferry boats no longer went fishing, but only carried people across the river. Money came quickly.

The innkeeper's wife also worked hard for a while and made a lot of money.

Later, the number of tourists gradually decreased. The number of ferries did not decrease. There were too many monks and too little food, so no one could make much money.

Some people started to go back to fishing.

But there are always four or five boats parked at the pier competing for customers and lowering prices with each other. It makes the whole day busy, and it is better to catch fish once.

They complained and cursed each other, and even got into fights.

The white-haired tiger will jump out at this moment.

At first, they tried to mediate, but later they threatened those who refused to obey with force. No other boatmen dared to ferry the boat, and only the White-haired Tiger was left.

Seeing an opportunity, the plump proprietress of the inn took the initiative to find the white-haired tiger and came up with an idea to make money.

When the number of guests staying in the hotel and wanting to cross the river reaches about ten, the landlady will hang a red flag on the flagpole, and the next day a white-haired tiger will row the boat over to ferry the tourists across the river.

Bring some food together.

If there is a yellow flag, it means there are not enough customers, not enough for a boat. Let them stay in the hotel, and the white-haired tiger can just go fishing.

The white-haired tiger is not a kind person. When he sees a red flag, he will quietly cross the river at night and hide his boat in a sheltered harbor upstream.

At night, he went to the proprietress's shop to fool around.

The two defrauded tourists by limiting the number of boat passengers and raising prices. Although there were not many tourists during this period, the two made a lot of money.

Just when the two were feeling proud of their plan to realize their dream of getting rich, Alayanzong came.

Looking at the inn on the other side, the yellow flag was already flying on the flagpole.

The white-haired tiger boat moved slowly but steadily, and did not play any tricks along the way.

As soon as the boat docked at the pier, everyone stepped ashore one after another, bowed their heads to Alayanzong one by one, and continued to the west.

After everyone left the boat, the white-haired tiger said he was going fishing, so he rowed the oar in the opposite direction and headed north.

Ala Yanzong, Wula Zhitao and the waiter from the fishing village shop went together to climb the mountain and headed west.

Ala Yanzong chatted with the waiter and asked him how he had made this journey alone. Aren't you afraid?

The waiter smiled, took out a kitchen knife from his arms, and said:

"I have this self-defense. I have been playing with kitchen knives for several years, and I think I can still defend myself against wild beasts. Even if someone robs me, I can be more courageous. Maybe it's because I walked late and didn't meet a single pedestrian on the road. I only arrived at the mountainside inn.

Meet the crowd."

Ala Yanzong asked with a smile: "How did you know that the inn was a black shop?"

The waiter put the kitchen knife back in his arms, turned around and said, "I heard what those people who had never crossed the river said privately before. First, the food and hotel fees are very expensive, which is enough to stay in other inns for more than ten days. The second is the boat fare.

It’s expensive, but there is no other way. How can I cross the river without paying, so I have to swallow my anger and be slaughtered.”

Wula Zhitao leaned on the white wax pole, took a breath and sighed: "Such black-hearted businessmen, who have no conscience to enrich the country and have no sympathy, are really abominable!"

The waiter in the shop said again: "Fortunately, I met the young hero and sought justice for everyone. Otherwise, I would have been dumb."

Alayanzong sighed: "If you have money, you can afford to live in a shop and cross the river. If you don't have money, like the mother and daughter, they have to starve. Maybe they won't be able to cross the river at all, and they might still be alive."

starve."

The waiter seemed to suddenly remember something, "I think I heard that even if you don't have money, you can still be allowed to cross the river."
