Chapter 62: Eighteen Dangerous Shoals

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, but Li Sanjian has no intention of appreciating it, and he walked all the way to Qianzhou Wharf.

Li Sanjian had already inquired clearly, and if he wanted to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo by water, he needed to take a boat in Qianzhou, trace the Gan River to the north, first to Raozhou, cross Poyang Lake, then to Jiangzhou, and then go north.

In this way, he can arrive at Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo relatively quickly, but Li Sanjian's only worry is the shipping fare, Zeng Gongming Li Sanjian don't worry, this guy should have brought a lot of money, and Fu Erniang, Shankui, Xiaodou Sprouts and others must be borne by Li Sanjian, the second year of high school does not need Li Sanjian to worry about, but the money carried by the second year of high school should also be limited, according to Li Sanjian's estimate, it should only be enough for him to use, and he can no longer afford other people's fares.

Along the way, Zeng Gongming has already rushed to pay for a lot of hotel expenses, so Li Sanjian is embarrassed to let him continue to pay the boat fare, and Fu Erniang will also have a lot of complaints.

When Li Sanjian and others arrived at the Qianzhou wharf, Li Sanjian found that he was not only worried about the shipping fare, but also the question of whether there was a ship.

At this time, there was only a small ship moored on the small river transport wharf in Qianzhou, and it was docked alone on the river surface of the Qianzhou wharf. . .

There were some shipwrights on the ship holding the boat artemisia and holding the boat, as if they were ready to sail.

"Uncle, can you pass by Raozhou? Can it be convenient? Wait for me? Li Sanjian then asked an older boatman in a loud voice.

"This ship has been sent to Tokyo, and the little minister wants to go to Raozhou, but it is also on the way, if the official is willing to go with the little minister, I am convenient." The old boatman replied with a smile.

Li Sanjian was overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this exactly what he and others are looking forward to? There is no need to change ships, no need to take the wrong road to reach Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

It's just that Li Sanjian doesn't know if the official on the ship agrees with Li Sanjian and the others to go along?

So Li Sanjian hurriedly discussed with the shipbuilder and asked them to report whether Li Sanjian and others were allowed to go along.

But the boatmen were almost all shaking like rattles, and they were so uniform that no one wanted to go in and report it.

The small people are afraid of officials, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

Li Sanjian became more and more anxious, and when he was chattering and reasoning with the boatmen, a person came out of the back cabin, and he should be dressed as a servant.

"Wait for Hugh to be noisy." The servant said loudly: "My father-in-law has spoken, and asked the people under the ship if they entered Beijing to take the exam?" If so, the prime minister allowed the person to go to Tokyo on the same ship. ”

"Yes ... Be... I am... Li Sanjian hurriedly responded when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say anything about it, so he turned around and motioned for Fu Erniang, Shankui and others to get on the boat.

Li Sanjian couldn't find the ship for a while, so he was afraid that the official would regret it later...

"Wait a minute... Before the servant's words fell, Li Sanjian and his party of six or seven people had already stepped onto the gangplank, and walked to the front cabin to start placing their luggage.

The servant was speechless when he saw this.

Li Sanjian was dressed as a scholar, and his master had allowed Li Sanjian to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo on the same boat, but he didn't expect that there were as many as six or seven people, men and women, large and small, are you going to Beijing to take the exam or move?

One of the women in her thirties should be the scholar's mother, and the servant secretly said in his heart, but there is actually a young girl in this line? Could it be the daughter of this scholar?

It's really a young man who is not romantic, it seems that this famous scholar is only more than ten years old, and he actually has a daughter?

"Thank you, thank you, bother, bother." Li Sanjian was full of smiles and kept bowing.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit the smiling person, the servant has no choice but to let Li Sanjian and the others into the cabin.

This is a medium-sized passenger boat with several cabins, and Li Sanjian and others picked an unmanned cabin to accommodate female dependents, luggage, etc., without disturbing the owner of the passenger boat.

As for the shipping fare and other matters, the other party did not mention it, and Li Sanjian was happy to pretend to be confused.

The passenger boat suddenly became lively, especially the little bean sprouts were on the boat for the first time, and they were so excited that they were on the side of the boat, chattering non-stop.

"Brother, how long will it take to get to Tokyo?" After packing up the luggage and placing Fu Erniang, Li Sanjian stood on the deck with Gao Er, Daoist Zhang, and Zeng Gongming, looking at the beautiful river scenery, Li Sanjian suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

"I don't know." The second year of high school shook his head and said, "But it is estimated that it will take more than a month, right?" ”

When the sophomore and Su Shi went to Lingnan, they basically took the dry road, and they didn't know much about the waterway.

It is now late October, and if it is more than a month, Li Sanjian and others will not be able to arrive in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo until December at the earliest, and the Spring Festival is usually held at the end of January and early February, so there is not enough time left for Li Sanjian.

"Sophomore brother, what is Tokyo like? How does it compare to Guizhou? Along the way, Zeng Gongming also became acquainted with the second year of high school, and the three of them were called brothers.

"Guizhou?" Gao Er cocked the little finger of his right hand, and then felt that it was not appropriate, so he bent the little finger down and said: "Guizhou is the size of my finger, and Tokyo... It's bigger than my ten slaps. ”

"So big?" Zeng Gongming smacked his tongue: "Is Tokyo lively? ”

"Is it lively? Throw the word '?' into the river and feed it to the fish. The second year of high school smiled and said: "Jingshi is not lively, where is it lively?" From morning to night, the people on the street are endless, the crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, do business, open shops all day long shouting and drinking, restaurants, tea shops, tiles, goulan, etc. are open all night to welcome customers. ”

Zeng Gongming licked his lips and said yearningly: "It is worthy of being my holy pilgrimage to the Beijing Division, no wonder those court officials refuse to leave the Beijing Division." ”

Li Sanjian, Gao Er, and Daoist Zhang couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"That's what Brother Donglin said." Daoist Zhang interjected: "In the past, I once met a Beijing official who was driven to Shudi, and he begged everywhere, crying and shouting to go back to Tokyo. ”

"Haha, it must be that person who is reluctant to be good in Beijing." The sophomore laughed.

Everyone talked and laughed loudly, not paying attention to a middle-aged man in his early forties standing on the boat behind him, looking at Li Sanjian and the others, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be a little disgusted by the words of Li Sanjian and the others.

"Okay? How does it compare to the people of Lingnan? Zeng Gongming asked again.

"Go, how old are you, you think crankily all day long, and you don't study your homework well, and think about how to deal with the provincial exam?" Li Sanjian scolded with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Jian'er, people are not romantic boys." The second high school thief said awkwardly: "Brothers, let me tell you, Lingnan is not as good as Tokyo, and the little ladies of Lingnan are not as good as Tokyo's. ”

The saliva of the second year of high school almost flowed down, and it shone brightly in the mouth. . .

I grew up in Tokyo in my sophomore year of high school, and I've been around the fireworks since I was a child, so I'm all too familiar with it.

Kaifeng Mansion, good, I'm back again, the second year of high school looked at the rushing river and said secretly in his heart.

Zeng Gongming touched his money bag when he heard this...

Zeng Gongming may be regarded as a rich man in Lingnan, but it is not enough to see it in Kaifeng Mansion, Zeng Gongming knows this.

Li Sanjian was actually a little curious and excited in his heart, and he was extremely curious about the world-famous Great Song Dynasty Kyoto Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion.

It's not that Li Sanjian has never seen the big city, but what is the Kaifeng Mansion like in the world, and what is it like compared to those big cities? Li Sanjian didn't know anything about this at all.

"Hi work, hi work... Hi Zuo... Make... ”

"Don't flinch...

"Hi work, hi work... Hi Zuo... Make... ”

"Go forward...

"Hi work, hi work... Hi Zuo... Make... ”

At this moment, the old boatman suddenly started to call the trumpet, and the sound of the trumpet sounded one after another, and each one was more rapid than the other, and all the boatmen rushed to the side of the ship with the artemisia in their hands, and one by one they closed the sound of the trumpet, and all of them were like facing a great enemy, and the artemisia in their hands was staring at the river tightly.

At this time, the river water is becoming more and more turbulent, the drop of the river is as high as several zhang, and the rushing river water pours down from the mountain gorge like a waterfall, lapping the river bank, making a loud rumbling sound.

"When we arrived at Yukoutan, the children cheered up." The old boatman held the artemisia in his hand and let out a loud shout.

This place is one of the eighteen dangerous shoals of the Ganjiang River, Yukou Beach, dozens of miles below Ganzhou City, called the river section of the place of "Shuimen Pond". It is also known as "turtle beach". There are many dangerous reefs in the river, the boat is very dangerous, there are more than a dozen dangerous shoals such as burning road, burning Ping, east and west crows, up and down Diao stone, congratulatory stone, burning taki, dragon head stone, toad stone, Zhongliang stone, hanging row stone, iron threshold, yellow eel cage, car alley, etc.

Yukou Beach is the most dangerous place of the eighteen dangerous beaches, if you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will die, so you will fall into the river and feed the fish and turtles.

The river was turbulent, pushing the passenger boat around, and the people on the boat were also staggering, except for the people who had been boating here all the year round, the rest of the people were unstable on their feet.

Gao Er, Zeng Gongming, Li Sanjian and others were no longer in the mood to talk and laugh at this time, holding on to everything that could be climbed, almost all of them were as earth-colored, staring at the rushing river, and their hearts were terrified.

"This... This... The master grasped it steadily... Rao is mountain is bold, but he also shows a hint of fear. Hold Li Sanjian tightly, for fear that Li Sanjian will fall into the river.

"Help... A river wave came and splashed on Zeng Gongming, Zeng Gongming stood unsteadily, sat on the boat, and shouted in shock: "Brother Han Ren, help... Help... Help me."

"Haha, Donglin, don't panic!" Li Sanjian is not very afraid, people who live by the sea have seen some strong winds and waves, so Li Sanjian said to Shankui: "Shankui, you go to Fudonglin, don't worry about me." ”

"There are no passers-by in a thousand times, and they have a golden soup in their hearts. The old saying is that with the high and the wind blows, the three rivers open Yu food, in front of the bedroom in the city. Inch by inch, the vast autumn color. There is only a gentleman before the pass, who is a cloud for life. When flying, the water in the west stream is cut off. ”

Li Sanjian looked at the river like a galloping horse, and suddenly became poetic, and blurted out a Song word.

"Color... The middle-aged man on the side applauded loudly: "A good sentence when flying in the west stream of water, both the water is cut off, and it is a good 'Linjiang Immortal'!" ”
