Starting from the north gate of Tianyun City, turn east from the avenue, go more than ten miles, and arrive at a ferry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The gravel path is secluded, the bamboo forest reflects the flowing water, and the simple stone slabs have been washed into quaint tones by time, quietly lying on the ferry of this thousand years.

In the early morning, the mist cleared, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and at the end of the trail, a man and a horse galloped.

"Derpy, it's here!" the horse raised its front hooves high, stopped in time, and didn't even take a single step.

Lu Mingshu turned over and stood on the ferry, standing on his toes and looking.

The river in front of me is still flowing and the water is sparkling, but there is no ferry, and the surroundings do not look like there are people.

Could it be that Xiahou Shan was fooling her? Lu Mingshu muttered in his heart.

She had planned to take the overland route north, wherever she went. Coincidentally, when sending her out of the city, Xiahou Shan recommended that she take the waterway and mentioned this ferry. It is said that this waterway leads directly to Beiming, because the road is quite dangerous, few people walk, and mortals can't walk, but for warriors like them, it is a shortcut.

Lu Mingshu didn't have any goals himself, so he just came to take a look.

With her cultivation, it is not a problem to cross the river, but the problem is that this river is directly connected to Beiming, and there are countless tributaries, so I am afraid of getting lost!

Once you get lost in the Minghe, the problem is serious.

In the travelogue of ancient books, there is an allusion that has been mentioned countless times: someone got lost in the Minghe River and met a predecessor who had been missing for many years, or he was lost in the Minghe River and tried to find a way until he waited for the descendants.

This allusion is enough to show how big the Minghe River is, how easy it is to get lost, and how serious the consequences of getting lost are......

Lu Mingshu didn't want to waste more than ten years in the tributaries of the Ming River, so she had to find the boatman first.

"Babble!" a small boat rowed out of the reeds on the shore.

Lu Mingshu's eyes lit up.

The simple boat, lightly rowed from the water, the quiet and picturesque ancient ferry, as if instantly come to life.

The boatman, wearing a hat, shouted to the shore, "Girl, do you want to cross the river?"

Lu Mingshu beckoned.

The boat approached quickly, and a girl with a turban came out of the cabin and jumped ashore nimbly with a rope.

Pulling the rope steadily, the girl raised her red face and wiped the sweat from her face: "Girl, please get on the boat." ”

"Thank you. Lu Mingshu nodded and jumped on the bow of the boat. Without waiting for her to say hello, Derpy jumped up, and the boat, which wasn't too big, swayed.

The boatman was an old man, his hair and beard were half white, and when he saw this man clearly, he smiled and said: "Today is lucky, I received such a distinguished guest from the girl, and I don't need to take any more work!"

Lu Mingshu turned his head: "Does the old man know that I am a distinguished guest?"

The boatman smiled: "Look at your dress, you are not an ordinary person, and then look at this mount, the fairy spirit is fluttering, very miraculous, it must be a rare beast." It's not a guest, what else?"

Lu Mingshu couldn't help but smile: "I don't know how much the ship is worth?"

"It depends on where the girl goes. The boatman touched his beard, "The fare is enough, and there is nothing to enter and exit Beiming." ”

However, if you dare to say this, this boatman must be very familiar with the path of the Ming River, so there should be no such thing as getting lost, right?

Lu Mingshu thought for a while: "I don't know where to go, why don't you rent my husband's boat and go with me?"

"Okay!" Before the boatman could speak, the girl was already clapping her hands, "The girl has a good idea, go as she pleases, stop as she pleases, and be at ease!"

Lu Mingshu thought to himself, this boat girl is very "Zen" artistic conception!

Nothing surprising, though. Whether it is this boatman or a girl, there are Xuan Li fluctuations on his body, and he is a serious martial artist. It's just that the cultivation of the two of them is not high, and they only have the inner rest realm.

"Uncle, how much do you need to pay for this one-day rent?"

The boatman stroked his beard: "If you can go back in one day, it will be hardware, and if you exceed one day, it will cost ten gold!"

Not everyone can go to the Minghe River, and this price is not expensive.

Before Lu Mingshu left Jiuyao Palace, she had been worshipping the true inheritance for two years, and she won the first place on the rookie list, with a bonus, plus the hundred Xuanjing that the county lord of Jiayan lost to her, and the Cheng Yi given by the princess before leaving, which was enough to support her to travel the world in a dashing manner.

At the moment, he said: "Okay, then ten gold a day, rent for a month." If you don't return in January, add 20% of the fare. ”

The girl took the fare thrown by Lu Mingshu and smiled: "The girl is really generous." He turned his head to the center of the river and shouted, "Brother, it's open!"

Lu Mingshu was surprised, there are still people?

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and stared at the side of the boat.

With a "bang", a person climbed the edge of the boat and came out of the water: "It's coming!"

The boat boy is not a few years older than the girl, not tall, and soft. He was naked, climbed onto the boat, and threw the net he was carrying on the board of the boat, and the fish and shrimp in the bag were jumping around.

Derpy leans over and sniffs them with interest, as if disgusted by their fishy smell, and turns her head away.

The boy and the girl looked very similar, and they both had white teeth when they laughed, and he said: "Girl, don't worry, we will send you wherever you want to go, and promise not to get lost!"

Lu Mingshu nodded: "I'm tired." ”

The boat is not big, but it is well arranged. The whole ship is divided into three small cabins, the front, middle and back, and the front cabin is for the guests to put sundries, and Lu Mingshu has no sundries, so he allocated this piece of land to Derpy.

The middle cabin is a bunk, and if the guests bring their servants, they live here, and the boatmen and boys also live here.

The rear cabin has a bed and a table, which is where the guests are accommodated.

There is a simple kitchen at the stern of the boat, where the boat's maiden live.

The girl cleaned up neatly: "Girl, take a look, are you still satisfied?"

Lu Mingshu slowly glanced over. The beds are clean, the furniture is neat, and although it is a little simpler, it is also complete.

She nodded, "That's it." ”

"It's good that you're satisfied. The guests were not picky, and the girl clapped her hands happily. This time, I received a good business, with a lot of money and easy to serve.

"Girl, where are we going?"

Lu Mingshu was a little difficult: "I don't know, I just want to walk casually." ”

The girl said, "At least tell me a direction, right? There are many tributaries of the Ming River, leading to all places, and it is difficult for us to walk without a direction." ”

Lu Mingshu thought for a while: "Beiming Beiming, then go north!"

"Good!" said the girl, lifting the curtain and shouting at the stern, "the guest said, go north." ”

"Go!" shouted the boatman, and with a light lift of the bamboo pole, the boat slid into the river and quickly moved away.

The girl rolled up the curtains, washed the fruit and sent it: "I haven't entered the main trunk of the Minghe River yet, the scenery is just right, don't miss the opportunity!"

"Thank you. Lu Mingshu picked up a few fruits and handed them to her, "Labor, bring these fruits to my mount." (To be continued.) )
