Five days after leaving Lujiang County, it was forty miles away from the county seat of Pei County, Jiujiang County. The carriage came to a stop in front of a ferry crossing. Zhou Moyang and Zhang Yida got out of the carriage and walked to the ferry. The ferry in front of him is a ferry port in the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, in Jiujiang County. The Wujiang River is thousands of miles long, traversing many counties and counties of Wuzhou State, with a wide basin, and is the second largest river in Wuzhou Province. The river in front of you is about 30 zhang wide and the water flow is slow, and the other side of the ferry is Surabaya County. Although Surabaya is named after water, the county is mountainous and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. If you take the waterway, go down the river to bypass the two counties of Surabaya and Hanoi, go directly to the wharf of Changsha County, and then change to the land route, which is much more convenient. It's just that on the hundreds of miles of waterway up the river to Changsha County, there are several river turns and narrows, resulting in rapids and rapids, which require the management of experienced boatmen to keep the boat safe.

"Where can you know these things without going out, travel thousands of miles, and know the world!" At this time, Zhang Yida stood on the wharf, seeing the river flowing slowly eastward, his mood was ups and downs, and he had a lot of feelings! And Zhou Moyang has been familiar with the geographical chronicles of Wu Zhou since he was a child, and he deliberately checked the path to Beijing carefully before going out, so he didn't sigh so much, and he didn't know what his cousin was thinking.

"Young owner, what? Haven't been on a boat before? Hehe! The coachman came from behind with a carriage. Zhang Yida turned around and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's the first time I've gone far away!" Not to mention taking a boat! ”

Wujiang Ferry Terminal. Every day, several large and small merchant ships come and go between Jiujiang County and Hanzhong County, and the merchant ships pass through the three counties of Surabaya, Hanoi, and Changsha. At this time, there is a medium-sized merchant ship docked at the wharf by the ferry, the ship is about ten zhang long and three zhang wide, about more than 100 people can sit, and the people on the ship are up and down, extremely busy. There are also some small fishing boats docked by the wharf, on which fishermen are cleaning the cages, apparently preparing to go fishing, and the whole wharf is very lively.

Seeing Zhou Moyang and Zhang Yida starting to walk towards the boat, the coachman hurriedly pulled the carriage to follow, and laughed beside Zhang Yida: "Young owner, there is fun to take a boat by boat!" Several people quickly got on the wooden boat, and Zhang Yida paid the boat boss the fare for three people and one car. At this time, the ship was not crowded, and it could still carry more than 20 people. Half an hour later, when it was time to depart, the captain of the ship shouted "sail" after seeing that everyone had loaded the goods. A string of crispy whips exploded on the pier, and after the boatmen offered incense, the merchant ships hoisted their sails and slowly left the shore and headed northwest.

On the left side of the riverbank, in Surabaya County, the mountains are stacked with heavy rocks and cliffs, stretching continuously. The trees on the mountain are grandiose, but they have already shown the spring mood, and from time to time there are birds and apes howling, coming from the empty valley in the mountains. The stern of the Wujiang River goes eastward, and the soup is hot. The boat is in the water, and the people are in the painting.

Everyone on the boat was standing or sitting, very comfortable. Zhang Yida leaned on the side of his carriage, without the hard work of riding in the car, he crossed his legs contentedly, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. Zhou Moyang stood alone at the front of the ship, silently staring ahead.

In the afternoon of the second day, the river ahead made a bend and became narrower, and because the wind was not in the right direction and had to make a bend, the merchant ships lowered their sails and switched to boatmen and laborers. The speed of the boat is also much slower.

Zhou Moyang and Zhang Yida sat behind the boat and watched the boatmen support the boat. The boatmen were barefoot, and several boatmen stood firmly in the bow of the boat, tapping the water left and right with the penny in their hands, so that the bow of the boat always rushed forward. The same is true for several boatmen at the stern, and everyone is very tacit.

An hour later, the speed of the ship slowed down by two percent, and the sound of the water roared. The shipwright at the head of the front shouted violently: "Crossing the dangerous beach!" The boatmen behind echoed loudly, their high-pitched voices echoing through the valley. All the boatmen looked solemn.

A few miles ahead, the river channel suddenly narrowed to about ten zhang wide, a few large stones abruptly in the middle, between the large stones on the high water surface, only five or six zhang wide gap. The toes of several boatmen were firmly nailed to the plank, and the green tendons bulged out on the copper-colored limbs, and the whole body was concentrated and accumulated, without the slightest panic.

The ears rumbled, the water suddenly surged violently, turning into thunder and rushing, and the waves stirred up patches of snow, like a silver dragon cloud, roaring endlessly. In a few moments, the ship had reached the gap between the big rocks.

Seeing that the ship was about to pass through the gap, a huge log fell from behind the boulder. Everyone didn't have time to exclaim, as if they could clearly hear the sound of "whew", and the log had already smashed into the bow of the boat. With a "bang", the bow of the ship sank downward, and a large hole was smashed. The log rolled from the bow of the boat into the river, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was a scream from the bow of the ship.

The suddenness of the log made everyone unable to react. The white mist split the face, and the few people in front were thrown up, screaming miserably. Zhang Yida was also unsteady on his feet, and at the moment when he was about to fall off the boat, he was lightly comforted by Zhou Moyang's arm and firmly grasped. Zhou Moyang was nailed to the boat, not moving at all.

"Bang" the bow of the ship slammed and floated upwards again. "Puff, puff" The people on the boat kept falling into the water, shouting everywhere. The boat boss's face was black and yellow, and he looked at everything in front of him in a daze, his head was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or river water. He wiped his face and widened his eyes. Lacking the boatman's control, and the large hole in the bow of the ship into the water, the hull of the ship has been staggered at this time, the ship barely crossed the boulder, and ran aground three or four feet from the shore, and most of the people on the boat also fell into the water, and they pounced on themselves.

Before Zhang Yida could rejoice, he screamed in horror. I saw four small boats coming from the shore with two breads, and there were twenty or thirty people in the small boats, with fierce expressions and excited faces, holding weapons in their hands, and shouting and shouting. The person who fell into the water could not dodge, so he was cut down by the person on the boat. The sword flashed, and with a miserable scream, the water was a red color.

Seeing this, Zhang Yida was ruthless in his heart, and pulled out the mountain knife with his backhand. Gritting his teeth and exhaling deeply, he screamed and ran to the side of the ship.

Zhang Yida had also walked through darts in several counties in Anping County before, and knew the fierceness of the thieves. Now that I have been caught up by this group, it is useless to beg for mercy, don't try to live if you don't work hard. He was in a hurry, his feet slipped, and he almost fell out of the boat again. Several more people were cut down in the water, and the two small boats in front of them surrounded them, and the bright weapons were dazzling.

The gang had apparently premeditated by setting a trap at the boulder and then encircling and strangling the ship after it ran aground. I think this group has done it many times. At this time, Zhou Moyang was also anxious, and when the ship approached the boulder, he had already noticed the hidden clues behind the boulder and not far away. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and when the log fell, it was too late to make a move, so it could only be resigned to fate.

Manpower is sometimes poor, and in the face of the power of heaven and earth, Zhou Moyang feels that he is so small, so helpless, but also deeply unwilling. This group of people is obviously water thieves, all of them are ruthless, most of the people who fell into the water have been cut down in a blink of an eye, and the rest of the people who fell into the water dodged the slashing of the water thieves, and they couldn't get on the boat, and they were desperately fluttering in the water. The two small boats had already surrounded the stranded ship, several water thieves jumped onto the merchant ship, and Zhang Yida and several escorts with the ship had already engaged the other party in close combat, and the weapons were ping-pong. If I hesitate any longer, I don't know how many people will die. Thinking of this, Zhou Moyang pulled out the Qingfeng Sword with his backhand.
