Chapter 281 Ferryman

"Young man, I quite like what you've said. Today, your boat rental will be on the house," the old man said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiong excitedly jumped onto the boat. He was born and raised in the mountains and had never been on a boat before, so he appeared particularly thrilled.

Lu Xun also cast a deep look at the old man before finally biting his teeth and boarding the boat. The boat wasn't large; with four people on it, it already felt a bit crowded. The elderly man at the bow gently rowed the oar, and the small boat parted the waves, moving forward smoothly.

Despite his age, the boat remained surprisingly steady, as if walking on flat ground. The old man's mouth was singing a folk song, the melodious voice carrying a unique charm that echoed over the Qinghe waters.

Chen Li listened carefully to the old man's song, a look of longing in her eyes, which puzzled Chen Xiong by her side. The old man's accent was strange, making it utterly incomprehensible to him.
