A month later, at the White Dragon River outside of Linjiang City in Linjiang County of Jiang Province.
The sky was still gray and a thin layer of white fog rose in all directions. Several men stood at the river crossing, waiting for the arrival of a boat.
These men all looked relatively young. Among them, four of the men had a scholarly aura. A tall man in blue was holding a folding fan in his hand. There was a landscape painting on the fan.
These four men were carrying bags and looked like they were going out. A white-clothed youth with ordinary facial features stood in front of the four.
The white-clothed youth stood with his hands empty. He looked calmly at the river covered in fog, as if he was waiting for something.
"Brother Changsheng, there's no need to look anymore. I've asked around. The boatman will only appear at seven in the morning. There's still an hour before seven in the morning. The boatman won't appear no matter how much you look." The tall man in blue said with a smile.
Hearing this, the white-clothed youth turned around and smiled at the blue-clothed youth. He said, "I'm not like Brother Wencai and the other three who are well-read. I don't know anything about poetry. The scenery of the river is more attractive to me. You guys talk, don't worry about me." With that, he turned his head and stared at the white fog on the river.
Hearing this, the blue-clothed youth smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not say anything else.
"Forget it! Brother Wencai, please spare Brother Changsheng! Brother Changsheng loves to practice martial arts and has no interest in the poetry of us scholars. How about the four of us compose a poem together based on the scenery in front of us? "A short and fat man in blue suggested.
"Forget it! I went to bed yesterday when I was reviewing my lessons. I was woken up by Brother Han Ming at seven in the morning. I'm very sleepy and really don't have the mood to recite a poem. "A yellow-clothed youth with regular facial features yawned and shook his head to reject the green-clothed man's suggestion.
"Ahem, Younger Brother Qiu Sheng, please don't blame me. I'm just worried about missing the triennial Imperial Examination. It wasn't easy for the four of us to obtain the qualifications to participate in the exam, so we should arrive at the capital as soon as possible. After all, we were imprisoned by the bandits for a period of time. If we don't hurry, I'm afraid we'll miss the exam. At that time, the four of us will probably become the laughingstock of the entire Yan Province. "A young man with a fair complexion explained with an embarrassed smile.
"Hmph, speaking of which, it's all those bandits' fault. If not for Brother Changsheng, the four of us would still be trapped in the dungeon! Not to mention participating in the imperial examinations, it will be difficult for him to even see the light of day again, "the blue-clothed man snorted and said with some dissatisfaction.
"That's right. If I become an official in the future, I will definitely capture all the bandits in my jurisdiction and execute them all as a warning to others. I want to see if anyone still dares to be a bandit." The green-clothed man nodded and spoke with a murderous aura. His words were filled with hatred for bandits.
"Just catch him and give him a beating! There's no need to kill them all. Be careful that they don't turn into vengeful ghosts and demand your life in the middle of the night. "The yellow-clothed youth shook his head and spoke with a serious face.
"Haha, Younger Brother Qiu Sheng, you're here again. You're going to talk about the female ghost you met when you were young! Ghosts and gods are just stories that those storytellers make up to fool people. They can't be taken seriously. "The green-clothed man laughed and spoke without concern. A trace of contempt quickly flashed through the depths of his eyes.
