Chen Yang looked at the encircling Sha Kingdom men and was surprised to find that even in the Komi Primitive Forest, there were people who would rob you on the road.
No, it was more accurate to say they robbed you on the river.
In fact, many people ventured into the Komi Primitive Forest for exploration, often foreigners, so the local Sha people made a good business extorting money here.
After the Sha men had surrounded Chen Yang, the boatman smiled and said, "Respected traveler, the price for crossing the river has gone up to twenty thousand rubles. Would you like to cross the river?"
They always did this—if you were willing to pay ten thousand rubles to cross the river, all was well.
If not, they would directly hike the price to twenty thousand rubles.
Faced with their show of force, most people would capitulate.
However, Chen Yang was not like most people.
He pointed to the boat behind the boatman and smiled, "Give me your boat, and I'll pretend nothing happened."
