Gui Zhan and his entourage, lost their loved ones! Chapter 1 Penglai Boat
Tuoba Rui didn't dare to go in directly to rob people, the tortoiseshell imperial array of the Li Mansion was not something she could break, and she didn't dare to reveal Chi Chao's identity. Otherwise, she will definitely not be able to grab the miscellaneous fish and shrimp in Daze.
Tuoba Rui wants to bring Chi Chao back to the wasteland alive to prove that his words are true, and to expose Xia Xiang's conspiracy and tricks by the way.
"Nephew, where are you going?" As soon as Li Youqian entered the mansion, he saw Chi Chao holding the burden and about to leave the mansion through the back door.
"Gang Master Li, I suddenly remembered that I was in a bit of a hurry to do something, so I just said goodbye, forgive me, forgive me!" Chi Chao said.
"Wouldn't it be okay to stay longer? Can't get used to eating in my house? Li Youqian asked.
"No, no, I am, I really have something to do. Then he left in a hurry. Chi Chao hurriedly waved his hand.
Chi Chao knew that Li Youqian wanted to ask for some benefits from him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let him leave easily.
"Thanks to Gang Master Li's care these past few days, this is my little care."
Chi Chao took out three bottles full of [Green Dragon Saliva] from his arms and handed them to Li Youqian's hand.
Li Youqian, who got the [Green Dragon Storage], was immediately happy, and then carefully took the [Green Dragon Storage] into his arms.
"Since the virtuous nephew has something urgent to leave, Li Gong won't keep it!" After getting the benefits, Li Youqian no longer stayed in the pool.
As soon as Chi Chao came out of the back door, a yellow catfish jumped out of the burden he was carrying, and Chi Chao quickly squatted down and carried the catfish on the ground back into the burden with lightning speed.
Chi Chao looked back weakly, and after making sure that no one followed, he ran away, for fear that he would be chased and beaten by the maid with a stick for stealing fish.
Chi Chao was not stupid enough to use the silver wolf mask again, he put on a new mask, his silver wolf mask was too conspicuous, and it was also noted at the [Eternal Night Auction], if he really swaggered and wore the silver wolf mask and walked on the ghost market street, he would be robbed in less than a day.
The leech tooth was wrapped in layers of gray cloth by Chi Chao, and now it completely resembled a self-defense stick.
As soon as he got to the ferry and got on the boat, Chi Chao was able to leave the place safely.
There is an agreement in the ghost market, and getting on the boat means that you have no chance with the ghost market.
Whoever kills the person who got on the boat, as long as he appears in Daze in this life, he will be hunted down and killed by all the people in the ghost market.
It's a protection, it's a guideline.
Chi Chao got on the boat without danger, this small boat can accommodate ten people, and Chi Chao is the tenth person to get on the boat.
When the people were all together, the boatman untied the rope and propped the boat all the way down to the southwest.
Along the way, the ten people in the cabin were silent. When you are hungry, eat only the dry food you carry; When thirsty, drink only water and wine that you bring with you.
"Goo......
After the ship sailed for half a day, Chi Chao's stomach screamed with hunger.
However, the people on the ship ignored him, and Chi Yan walked out of the cabin and sat up on the deck.
He took out the yellow-horned catfish, and with a light pat of his broken palm, he cut off the back of the yellow-horned catfish, making it lose the ability to struggle.
The hand just lightly swiped the belly of the yellow-horned catfish, and immediately opened a large opening.
Chi Chao took out all the internal organs of the yellow-horned catfish and washed it with water.
After scraping off the mucus on the surface of the body, Chi Zun started to remove the flesh.
The slender fingers are like cutting and crossing, like a knife cutting and cutting, like a bee picking thousands of rui when it is chaotic, and like a big pen when it is simple. It is actually a wonderful art to interpret the ordinary killing of fish.
In the middle of three breaths, a living yellow-horned catfish is left with only a pair of white fish bones.
Chi Chao held up the wooden plate, and the thin fish belly as thin as the wings of the cicada bloomed like peony flowers.
Pick up a piece of fish belly and put it directly into your mouth, the delicious taste lingers between the tongue and teeth, and the tender taste makes the fish belly slide into the esophagus on its own without chewing too much, and the silk is cool and infiltrates the lungs.
The ultimate umami in this world is only enjoyed by Chi Chao alone at the moment, and the people who know the goods in the cabin can only watch Chi Chao eat by himself, while he swallows his saliva frantically.
Soon, Chi Chao put all the fish made by the yellow-horned catfish into his stomach, and after eating, he was still unsatisfied, and licked a round of wooden dishes before stopping.
"Hiccup......" Chi Yu burped, then leaned against the edge of the boat's string, leisurely picking his teeth with the fish bones.
"Guest, it's windy outside, so let's rest in the cabin." The boatman standing at the stern of the boat reminded him kindly. "The spring cold is steep, and it is easy to guard against the wind and cold."
"It's okay, I'll just blow it outside for a while." Chi Chao narrowed his eyes and faked it. "Blow the spring breeze and I'll be home."
Chi Chao listened to the sound of running water, the sound of the boatman's oars splashing, and the chirping of wild birds in the depths of the dense forest on both sides, and felt the artistic conception of integrating into nature.
It wasn't until Xingchen stood on the edge of the sky holding the jade plate that Chi Chao woke up from the side of the ship.
The boatman lit a small oil lamp in the cabin, barely enough to illuminate.
The nine people in the cabin had already taken out the thin blankets in their bags and wrapped themselves firmly, not showing a trace of their bodies.
During the spring equinox, the humidity on the Osawa is not ordinarily heavy, and if you do not take good measures to keep warm, the joints of the hands and feet are prone to rheumatism.
"Why don't the guests wrap themselves in blankets?" The boatman saw that Chi Chao was still sitting in the cabin wearing a single coat.
"I forgot to prepare, I didn't expect the humidity of Osawa to be so heavy in the spring evening." Chi replied.
After hearing this, the boatman put down the penny and stepped into the cabin.
The boatman took out a gourd from a box and handed it to Chi Chao: "Although it doesn't taste very good, the wine is a spirit." Drinking can barely withstand the cold tonight, and when we arrive at Miluo Ferry tomorrow, remember to go ashore and buy a blanket and some warm clothes. ”
"Thanks!" Chi Chao did not refuse and took the gourd.
As soon as he opened the mouth of the gourd, a strong smell rushed into his nose.
Chi Chao took a small sip first, and his throat and esophagus immediately felt hot, and after the wine flowed into his stomach, it was even warmer.
After only taking a sip, Chi Chao felt a trace of warmth in his body.
What a strange wine! Chi Chao took a few more sips, the warmth of his body gradually superimposed, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his back.
"Old man, that's how you make this wine?" Chi Chao asked the old boatman curiously.
"It's just an ordinary head drink, and it's just a little stronger." The boatman replied.
"No, there is still a smell of medicine in the wine." Chi Yan asked again after tasting it.
"It's nothing, it's just some medicinal herbs, if the guests still want to drink, I'll tell you the recipe." The bow of the boat said with a grin: "This recipe was secretly told to me by a doctor friend of mine, called [Wounding Dampness and Dispelling Wind Spirit], which is his family's ancestral secret recipe. I don't tell him about ordinary people, but I fall in love with guests and it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
"No." Chi Chao refused. "I really don't like the taste of this wine, so tomorrow I will go to the market to buy some wine and medicinal herbs, and brew that kind of medicinal wine that has no strange taste for you to taste."
"I don't want to drink this anymore unless I have to."
"Huh!"
The boatman smiled.
Chi Chao didn't sleep this night, whenever he felt sleepy, he drank a small sip of wine, and the person woke up immediately!
After a long night, at dawn, the warm sunlight appeared, and Chi Chao closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At noon, the boat left Daze and arrived at the ferry port on the border of Guiguo, Miluo Ferry.
Chi Chao is woken up by the boatman, who reminds him to go to the shore to buy a thin coat.
After thanking the boatman, Chi Chao turned and jumped ashore.
Most of the bazaars at the ferry port are filled with shops selling fresh fish, and there are few ready-to-wear shops selling clothing.
After a few turns, Chi Chao finally found the only and inconspicuous ready-to-wear store in the corner of the bazaar.
After haggling with the shopkeeper, Chi Chao bought a low-quality bearskin and a few linen clothes for five hundred gold.
When he went out, the shopkeeper was still complaining about how much money he had lost and how many clothes he had to sell to earn it back.
Chi Chao left the garment store, ran to the liquor store and the pharmacy, and bought a few catties of wine and some warm medicinal herbs.
The boatman's wine drank him out of the shadows, and Chi Chao still felt that he was relieved to drink the wine that he had brewed that was both delicious and dehumidifying.
When I boarded the ship again, there were only four people left in the cabin, and for no reason there were half of them!
"Old man, why are there half of them?" Chi asked puzzled.
"Oh, they're going in a big boat. There were separate rooms and delicious food and drinks prepared by the chef, which was far from what my boat could provide. The boatman replied without hesitation.
Chi Chao looked out of the window of the boat, and sure enough, he saw a big boat parked on the edge of the dock, that guy was far from losing to the main ship that sent relatives to Gui Dongdong.
The big ship, named Penglai Zhou, sailed from the Miluo ferry port to Yongcheng in Guiguo.
It costs 1,000 taels of silver just to get on the ship, and the cost of food and lodging is also calculated.
Although it is expensive, there are still people who sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in, and just one place is fried to 5,000 taels of silver.
There are not only delicious food and wine on the Penglai boat, but also beautiful singers and dancers, and entering it is like entering a fairy cave. Enjoy the most satisfying service in the world.
There is even a rumor in Guiguo: "Yufangzhai on the ground, Penglai boat on the water", both of which are rich people's gold holes.
"How many days will the big ship go to Yongcheng, but what about the small boat?" Chi Chao asked.
"It's all the same, five days." The boatman replied as he propped the boat.
Five days? Although Chi Chao really wanted to open his eyes on the Penglai boat, he still forgot about it, the fish and dragons on the Penglai boat were mixed, and a mask could not hide his identity.
The big ship sailed on the Qianjiang River with a large number of small boats, and from time to time you could hear the sound of bell music and the smart singing of the officials and bursts of cheers from the big boat.
Chi Chao was idle in the cabin, so he found a rod in the cabin and ran to the bow of the boat to hook the fish.
Although it was fishing, the hook did not have any bait attached to it.
Chi Chao holds a fishing rod in his left hand, a home-brewed medicinal wine in his right hand, and leans on the cabin pillar behind his back, and the picture has a unique flavor.
There is no desire to fish, only leisure.
Chi Chao looked at the fish mark in the river while looking up and drinking the wine in the wine gourd.
Fishing and fishing, Chi Chao didn't know that he had been sitting on the edge of the cabin all day.
After putting away the fishing rod, Chi Chao was about to go back to the cabin for dinner, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
