Chapter 109: Buying a boat
The whole note continued to gallop forward, and when Ye Xianglun on the note disc saw that the village in front of him was like a matchbox, Ye Xianglun could hear the faint sound of the river, and at this time, the height of Ye Xianglun's note galloping had been reduced to almost close to the ground.
"It seems that it's time to go on foot!" Ye Xianglun decided to walk after seeing scattered farmers working in the fields in the rice fields by the river.
Although the sun is slanting to the west at this moment, the sun in late autumn in the south is always much stronger in the west than at noon, rolling up his trousers and passing through the gaps in the large rice fields that have been harvested, the town has come to Ye Xianglun's eyes.
"Uncle, may I ask if this river is a river?" Ye Xianglun asked politely to a fisherman who was fishing for aquatic products in a riverside pond.
"Yes, this river is the Zhanjiang River, may I ask the little brother, where are you going?" the fisherman raised the hat on top of his head, and lowered the fishing net.
"I'm going to Zhanjiang City, do you know how to go?"
If you take the waterway, you can go up the river in five or six days, if you take a horse-drawn carriage, you may be quick, if the little brother is not in a hurry, it is recommended to take the waterway, if you take the dry road, not only will you be upside down, but the price will be half as expensive as the waterway!" said the fisherman, holding up the bamboo pole, and told with great interest.
"Thank you, uncle, then the little brother will take the waterway!" Hearing the fisherman's patient answer, Ye Xianglun respectfully bowed goodbye.
Following the fishermen's instructions, we walked about two kilometers to the riverside market, which is located in a winding part of the river, with a wide and gentle river channel and many silted peninsulas, on which most of the trade areas are built.
Ye Xianglun picked up a large trade area and went to it.
"Dipping River Green Turtle ββ"
"ββ of hairy crabs"
"Gangnam Crystal ββ"
With the shouts of the farmers, Ye Xianglun walked all the way to the riverside and found that some awning boats were docked on the riverside.
"Little brother, where are you going? We are the two of us supporting the boat, but it is much faster than the boat on the side!"
"I'm a new ship, the speed is not slower than theirs, come on, come on, my brother and you hit it off at first sight, give you a discount!"
"Can you sell this boat?" As soon as he walked to the river, he saw a group of boatmen surrounding him, but Ye Xianglun asked surprisingly.
"Sell?...... If the price is right, of course you can consider it!" Seeing that the young man in front of him was about to buy a boat, the boatman at the helm looked Ye Xianglun up and down with a suspicious gaze.
"I wonder if these gold coins can buy your new ship?" Ye Xianglun took out the money bag, shook it, and opened the money bag for the boatman to take a look.
"Enough! Enough......" After the money bag was opened, the flickering golden light in the money bag immediately attracted the boatman's gaze, and it was not until Ye Xianglun put the money bag away that the boatman's eyes returned to Ye Xianglun from the money bag, "It's too worthwhile for the master to buy my fax, this boat has only been built for less than a month, the boat's water-breaking function and cabin comfort are first-class! This boat is much easier to glide than those broken boats, and it is an excellent choice for your self-driving trip!"
"Okay then, take me to the bed to have a look!" Ye Xianglun saw that the boatman saw the gold coin, and his words became extremely pleasant, so he directly asked for inspection.
"Okay, good, sir, please come with me, eh, be careful that the ground is slippery, come, you help me!"
Under the guidance of the boatman, Ye Xianglun stepped on the canopy safely, and after entering the cabin, he found that the ship was indeed a new ship, and even the bedding on the ship was brand new.
"Okay, I want this one!" After Ye Xianglun briefly checked it, he readily bought this canopy boat that was more than five meters long and more than two meters wide.
"Master, you are really bright, hehehe......" After getting the gold coin, the boatman's eyes smiled into a slit.
"Wait, I'm tired of leaving this behind!" The boatman smiled all over his face, and when he was about to leave the cabin, Ye Xianglun pointed to the hat above the boatman's head.
"Uh...... Of course this is okay! What else does the master need, just command!" After the boatman paused for a moment, he quickly took off the hat and presented it to Ye Xianglun with polite hands.
"There's nothing else, the deal can be over!" After taking the hat, Ye Xianglun put the hat on his head, and the wide hat just covered the sun, revealing only half of Ye Xianglun's face.
"Yes Yes ......"
After the boatman withdrew, Ye Xianglun untied the anchor rope and picked up the oars to slide against the river.
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, although the water flow of the Zhanjiang River is relatively gentle here, Ye Xianglun can still feel the resistance of the current, and after a small half an hour of gliding, Ye Xianglun only sailed out of this town.
Coming to the river on both sides of the river, Ye Xianglun began to untie the guqin, under the plucking of the strings, the whole note lingered out, driven by Ye Xianglun, the whole note full of energy from both sides of the light boat continued to pour into the water, under the impact of the whole note, injected a strong power into the light boat, Ye Xianglun drove a light boat like a motorboat, breaking the rolling river, speeding against the river.
Sitting in the cabin of the lonely boat, the oncoming river wind blew the hat slightly, Ye Xianglun felt the scenery on both sides of the strait retreating rapidly, and under such a speed, it was not much slower than Ye Xianglun rushing with a note disc.
"In this way, you don't have to worry about the galloping of the whole note disc and go around in all directions! This can save a lot of time!" Looking at the river that went straight to the sky, Ye Xianglun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scaredββ how this light boat is speeding so fast, like a wild horse that has escaped its ropes!"
"It's not just like a wild horse, it's like an offline arrow feather!"
The oncoming boats, seeing Ye Xianglun's "speedboat", sped past in front of them, and turned their heads to look at each other.
"Uh......" After the speedboat sped away, the waves splashed into the cabins of the boats on both sides, "What's going on!
The passengers who were resting in the cabin suddenly saw the river water poured into the cabin, hurriedly rushed out of the cabin, and looked at the direction of Ye Xianglun's speedboat and sighed continuously.
"The young man with a hat on the bow of the boat seems to be holding a guqin!"
"Could it be that he is the legendary luthier?"
Looking at the speeding boat, the sound of the piano still reverberated on the river, and the boatman who stopped at the bow of the boat exclaimed: "Piano master, it is really a fascinating profession!"
Along the Zhanjiang River all the way west, the speedboat traveled along the way, attracting a lot of oncoming boats and the villagers by the river, Ye Xianglun lowered the brim of the hat, ignoring the strange eyes along the way, and kept advancing westward for a moment, and soon ushered in the sunset.
Looking at the red clouds in front of him, and the red on the river in front of him, Ye Xianglun raised the brim of his hat a few points.
Due to the cover of night, Ye Xianglun manipulated the "speedboat" to speed more unscrupulously, and after the light boat, the entire river was in turmoil.
After nearly two hours of galloping, Ye Xianglun finally saw a city across the river in front of him under the light of the spark.
"Has Zhanjiang finally arrived?" Ye Xianglun raised the brim of his hat and muttered, "Fortunately, it's not much later than expected!"
Due to Ye Xianglun's galloping day and night, coupled with the speed of the note disc controlled by Ye Xianglun, which was much faster than the speed of the ordinary note disc, Ye Xianglun arrived at his destination in less than two days.
