After completing the bill payment, and teapot for the two maids who serve him.
Guo Yun looked towards the two maids and said,
"Do you guys know, want to go to Zhuangzi Su Yuan where to go..?"
The two servants looked at each other, one of them said,
"Please wait a minute, sir.."
"Quick call chef Apong, he used to work there.."
said one of the servants to his friend.
His friend nodded quickly, then hurriedly ran away towards the kitchen.
Shortly after, he returned to Guo Yun with a man in his 40s.
"Master for clarity, master can ask directly to Apong.'
Guo Yun nodded and said,
"Uncle Pong please sit down, and please explain, how we can get to Zhuangzi Su Yuan.
Apong looked at Guo Yun seriously, then said,
"Zhuangzi Su Yuan is located at the top of Ling San mountain.
From here there are two roads, first by road, second by river..."
"I used to usually prefer to go by the river, more relaxed and much safer.."
"The road must pass through some dangerous forests, besides many wild animals also many ferocious and cruel robbers."
apong said giving an explanation as well as a warning.
"When we go down the river, which way should we take it ?"
guo Yun asked trying to gather information, before leaving.
"You get out of the west gate, walk 5 Li to the west, you'll meet Ji Pier.
From there you can rent a boat, just tell the boatman, you want to go to Ling San, visit Zhuangzi Su Yuan, usually they will understand for themselves.."
apong said, explaining.
Guo Yun nodded quickly and said,
"Thank you Uncle Pong, here's a little thank you, take it.."
guo Yun said as he pushed a few pieces of silver in front of Apong.
"This is not necessary sir, you are a guest, it is our duty to serve you fully.."
apong said honestly.
Guo Yun smiled and said,
"Take your uncle not to refuse, I give it sincerely. accept it.."
Apong finally accepted Guo Yun's gift while bowing his body and saying thanks.
"You two, this is for you, thank you.."
guo Yun said as he threw two pieces of silver at the two young servants who helped him introduce Apong.
Before leaving the table, Guo Yun grabbed the black plaque on the table, keeping it in his pocket.
"Let's take Ba's sister off now.."
Li Ba nodded obediently, rose to his feet then followed Guo Yun leaving the luxurious restaurant.
"Sister Yun a.what's hanging on your neck, I se.as ever seen, ta.but where is it, I'm lu.forgett.."
li Ba said as he watched the necklace on Guo Yun's neck.
"Ohh this, this is from big brother Li.."
"Ahh yes,. a.I i.remember now, right ka.kak Li se. often wear his ."
li Ba said excitedly..
"But ka.kakak Li is not fair.ke.why cu.cuma brother Yun alone who..yang . in ka..katnya.katnya.."
Guo Yun smiled happily, and said,
"Haven't fuss, let's go fast.."
Before afternoon we should've gotten into the boat ."
Li Ba nodded in no much objection.
The two young men, after exiting the west gate, they immediately used the science of lightening the fast running body.
Turned into two shadows chasing each other.
"Come brother Ba..susul me..!"
Li Ba did not reply, as he bit his lips, he kicked the ground beneath him.
His body instantly soared 5 meters forward shortening the distance with Guo Yun.
Seeing this, Guo Yun accelerated his footsteps in the air.
Some time passed, finally Guo Yun and Li Ba stopped their pursuit, as the dock began to be seen in front of there.
Guo Yun looked ordinary, his breathing was quite normal, different things were seen on Li Ba,
His breathing was hunting, his entire body was flooded with sweat.
But he looks satisfied and happy.
"Ka, I'm not sure when, Ka. You should a. Teach me the science of lightening that body.."
li Ba said as he looked towards Guo Yun.
Guo Yun smiled and said,
"Let's just relax I'll teach you.."
"But I think later in Zhuangzi, you will also be taught the science of lightening the body, which is far greater than mine.."
guo Yun was sure.
Li Ba nodded and said,
"Se.hopefully unlike in Mo Zi Su Yuan, ti..every day cu.cuma told you to take ka.kayu am,.take water."
Guo Yun smiled and said,
"That's a basic exercise don't complain.."
After all Mo Zi Su Yuan's skill was in creating various advanced items and equipment and sparring science..
"Il..science of debate,. a.what gu.. use ba..for me.."
"I. it's a science it's no different from farting.."
"Ja.. let alone argue, .just open hear su.My voice just people.already on, ma.mati laugh.."
li Ba keki.
Guo Yun could only help but laugh, hearing the grievances of his friend and brother.
The two of them while chatting approached the dock that looked deserted.
On the edge of the dock, also only seen a boat, floating on the edge there, is waiting for the arrival of passengers.
A boatman wearing a straw cap covered his face, was seen lying asleep in the booth.
"Uncle.paman..we want to ride uncle's boat..! to Zhuangzi Su Yuan, can. ?!"
guo Yun asked from the edge of the pier.
The boatman opened his cap, looked at Guo Yun, and said,
"You want to go to Zhuangzi at Ling San, you can, but what is the payment, 2 taels of silver..?"
Guo Yun smiled and said,
"Don't it usually only need 2 pieces of silver,..?"
1 Tael \= 10 pieces of silver, small small shards of irregular shape.
"True young man, this boat fit 6 people, the price is so."
"But now there are only two of you passengers, if you want to go straight, yes two taels of silver.."
"If not, yes we wait for other passengers, that if there is, otherwise, yes most we leave tomorrow morning..'
the boatman explained.
Guo Yun nodded, then got on the boat and said,
"Okay uncle, let's go now.it's two taels.."
The boatman accepted happily and said,
"Alright young master, you two sit casually inside, the boat departs immediately.."
The boatman jumped to the edge of the dock, unscrewing the boat's leash.
Pushing the head of the boat away from the mouth of the dock, he jumped back into his boat.
He swiftly walked to the edge of the boat, towards the very back.
From there he began to row the boat leaving the dock.
As the boat began to leave the dock, it was seen that a grandfather was holding the hand of a little girl.
They ran around trying to catch up with them from the boat that began to move away from the dock.
"Wait...! wait..! boatman hey..wait..!"
