8. Boatman's request

There is only a family of three on the small boat that Yu Jiu sits, and they all look very ordinary, and her mother is holding a little girl in her arms, no more than two years old according to human age, because she has just been transformed, and her speech is still a little unclear, and her mother is holding a sugar man to teach her to call people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come, call my mother......." The young woman's smile was so warm that even Yu Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh along. However, the little girl's interest in the little fire fox is obviously much more interested in the sugar man than in the sugar man, and she stretches out her little arm to touch the little fire fox that is lying on her back and rolling in Yu Jiu's arms.

Seeing that she was cute, Yu Jiu took the little fire fox forward and put her in a position where she could touch it, and wanted to take her hand and touch the little fire fox, but her mother avoided it.

"This child is just playful and disobedient, and the girl should not worry about her." The smile on the woman's face did not change, as if she was really worried that the child would cause trouble for Yujiu.

Yu Jiu watched the young woman hold the girl's hand tightly, her eyes darkened, and she hugged the little fire fox back into her arms. "It's okay, you're welcome." This woman doesn't seem to want to touch her daughter?

Forget it, if you don't touch it, you won't touch it, anyway, it will be Chengyang in a while. Yu Jiu no longer watched the mother and daughter playing, leaning his head against the canopy, and could see the rippling waves outside and the occasional flying bird.

The sun outside was very large, reflecting the sparkling surface of the lake, and Yu Jiu leaned in for a while, then bowed out of the canopy.

Because it was a small boat, the canopy was naturally short, and the bones that Yu Jiu stayed in it were about to break, and he could finally come out to breathe. The boatman is a carp spirit, the old one, and the tail of the fish will occasionally be exposed and then plucked twice on the surface of the water.

"Did the girl go to Chengyang to seek refuge with relatives?" The boatman shook his paddle and never raised his head, but he could feel his kindness in his tone.

Yu Jiu shook his head, where did his relatives come from. "Ah Jiu is not going to Chengyang, he just plans to go to Luoshui from Chengyang." Chengyang is a must-pass place to go to Luoshui.

There were a few ripples on the water surface, and the boatman's red carp tail was exposed again, slapping his head on the water, seeing Yu Jiu looking at him, the boatman smiled, "The little old man's cultivation is low, and this transformation is also reluctant, so that Miss Ah Jiu can see the joke." ”

"Don't say that, old man, it's much better to be self-reliant than to steal or plunder or wait for handouts." The boat wasn't moving fast, but the hull was still a little shaky, so Yu Jiu simply sat on the edge and stretched a pair of jade feet into the lake. She was originally transformed by a lotus flower, and the lotus flower grew in water, so there was nothing to fear.

The little fire fox spun around her, its black eyes watching the waves curiously, and from time to time she wanted to stretch out her paws to touch it, but each time she shrank back halfway through.

Seeing its small appearance, Yu Jiu couldn't help but want to tease it, bent down and held a handful of lake water in front of the little fire fox, watched it stretch out its little paws, and then let go of its palm, and the lake water all fell.

"Miss Ah Jiu is so interested, and the little fire fox is also smart, it's really good." The boatman has been sailing for many years, and it has been a long time since I have met such an energetic young man.

Those who ferry at the pier know that the monsters who will choose to take a boat will not be high, and they don't have any spare money, so to put it mildly, they are the monsters at the bottom of the demon world. This kind of youkai generally has a survival mentality, and has no big ambitions, and even some will curse those monsters who have defeated him, as if without those people, he will not fall to this point.

The boat family has seen a lot of complaints and scolding from the young monsters, and it is the first time that they have heard a small lotus demon say such a thing, and it is much better to be self-reliant than to steal and plunder and wait for alms. It's such a simple truth, but there are always monsters who don't understand.

Yu Jiu was in a good mood, so he also joked with the boatman, and listened to the boatman say that the scenery on the lake was more fun.

"What is Miss Ah Jiu going to Luoshui for?" The boatman seemed a little tired, he put down the pulp in his hand, took out the water bag hanging on his body and drank a few sips of water.

"My aunt has a friend there, and this time I went to seek refuge with my aunt's friend." Yu Jiu took back the jade feet that were soaked in the lake, because if she sat like this, she would have her back to the boatman, which was always a little bad.

The boatman took off the straw hat that blocked the sun on his head, and it was a weathered and old face, and the layers of ravines showed that the owner of this face had lived in this world for many years. Probably because of the long-term ferrying, the boatman's skin is a little dark, and one eye is obviously no longer able to see.

"Luoshui, it's a good place to be......" The boatman seemed to remember something, but looking at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, the things hidden in his throat didn't know how to speak.

Yu Jiu nodded cooperatively, waiting for the boatman's words. Luoshui is indeed a veritable good place, if Wuluo Mountain is the largest gathering place of the demon clan, then Luoshui is the place where the demons with a lot of property and powerful abilities settle down.

My mother's friend lives in Luoshui, so it should be a very powerful character, right? Yu Jiu tilted his head and imagined what kind of scene he would encounter after going to Luoshui. Hawkers, no matter how bad the situation is, it's just like that, I'm already homeless, why do you care so much?

"If Miss Ah Jiu arrives in Luoshui, can you find a banshee for me? Her age, I think it's one hundred and twenty, right? Very young banshee, oh yes, she's a carp spirit. At some point, the boatman put on the straw hat again, and rowed the oars in his hand vigorously.

"Is that someone yours?" Yu Jiu picked up the little fire fox, she was about to go back to the canopy to pack her things, and she could already see the scene on the shore of Chengyang.

"That's Xiao Lao'er's daughter, when she left Luoshui, she was taken away by others, and her mother and I were helpless later, so we relied on me to earn some spars on the ferry to make a living, and there was no way to ask someone to find her." What the boatman said was very plain, but the sadness and helplessness in his tone couldn't hide it from Yu Jiu.

It turned out to be a daughter who had been lost for many years? Yu Jiu nodded in response, it was all the good intentions of her parents, she tried her best to help find it, and there was no way to find it.

"Ah Jiu girl, the little old man's daughter has a peony-shaped birthmark on the fin, that is, on the right shoulder, if you meet her, please tell her that everything is fine with her mother, don't read it." The boatman watched Yu Jiu and the family of three get off the boat, and called Yu Jiu to talk to her about these words.

Yu Jiu wrote them down one by one, and because she was in a hurry, she didn't say anything more to the boatman. "Then Ah Jiu has said goodbye, and I will try my best to find the old man's daughter."

The boatman smiled, the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious, and the carp's tail behind him came out again at some point, constantly slapping the water. There was a sound of demon cultivators laughing around, but the boatman just didn't hear it, and still tied his boat as usual.

Only Yu Jiu's nose is sour, the boat family is a poor monster, but the demon nature is evil, and they will never sympathize with the weak.
