Chapter Forty-Nine: The Ferryman of the Suishui River (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

"So soon?"

Zhang Yuan stepped out of the carriage and glanced at the Longmen Mountain Range a few times, the sun was a little dazzling today.

In just half a month, this landscape has changed visibly with the naked eye.

"Xiong Da, you go to the ferry port in front and see if there are any boats."

"No."

After calling Xiong Da, Zhang Yuan and his party walked to the side of the Qishui River, the water flow was very turbulent because of the melting snow, and they didn't know that there was no boat to cross the river, if not, Zhang Yuan and they could only walk upstream along the river for more than 20 miles, where there was a pontoon bridge to pass.

"Childe, there is a boatman in front of me who says that you can cross the river, but you can only transport two people at a time."

As long as there is a boat, Zhang Yuan doesn't care if he transports two people or one person.

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look."

"Whoa."

Following Xiong Da, Zhang Yuan and they walked to the ferry, and now there was only one wooden boat swaying with the waves in the Qishui River, Zhang Yuan finally knew why he could only transport two people, and there were too many people to sit down.

The ferryman was already leaning on a bamboo pole and waiting for them.

"Old man, is your boat safe?"

Zhang Yuan saw that the boat was really a little thin, and it looked like it would have to capsize when a wave hit.

"Hehe, the old man has been ferrying on the Qishui River for more than 20 years, and nothing bad has ever happened, young man, you put your heart in your stomach."

If there were other options, Zhang Yuan would definitely not take this boat, and there was no choice but to let Xiong Da and Fugui get on the boat first.

The things were put on the wooden board of the ferry first, and then they were brought when the second egg finally passed.

The ferryman didn't negotiate the price with Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan didn't ask, this ferryman probably regarded Zhang Yuan as a son who had money to go out, and it would be vulgar to talk about money with people who were not bad money.

Xiong Da and Fugui were sent to the other side of the river safely by the ferryman not long after, and the ferryman came back quickly with a bamboo pole.

Xiong Er helped Zhang Yuan and let Zhang Yuan get into the wooden boat first, and then he tiptoed up and sat down.

"You're holding on."

The ferryman shouted and left the ferry with a bamboo pole.

Zhang Yuan is on a boat for the first time, and this boat is completely different from what he imagined, to be reasonable, no matter who has seen a cruise ship submarine or something, and then look at this small wooden boat, there will be a sense of gap in his heart.

"Young man, this is the first time you have left home."

The ferryman was obviously asking Zhang Yuan, Xiong Er didn't look like a teenager no matter how he looked at it.

"Uh-huh, first."

Zhang Yuan replied vaguely.

"In these years, a noble person like you, not staying comfortably at home, but always thinking about running into the mountains and forests, the old man really can't understand it?"

"Huh? Who else have you taken to the Longmen Mountains? ”

Zhang Yuan heard the meaning of this ferryman, and it seemed that people often entered the mountain.

The ferryman sighed, as if something was not going well.

"Alas, if it weren't for the fact that some herb pickers always like to drill into the mountains in winter, the more people there are, the more herbs there are.

A few months ago, when winter was about to fall, two nobles sent a large number of people into the mountains to look for Ganoderma lucidum because they heard that there was a Ganoderma lucidum in the Longmen Mountains, but in the end there was no gain, so they left. ”

Two nobles? Approaching winter? Zhang Yuan seemed to have guessed two people.

"Are those two nobles from our Linqiong realm?"

This ferryman has been ferrying for more than 20 years, and it seems that he is definitely forty years old, and the carving knife of the years is full of traces on his face, these people have lived in one place for a long time, as long as they are outsiders, they will be unexpectedly sensitive.

"No, it should be from some big place, old man, I think it's from Chengdu City."

The ferryman said this, Zhang Yuan affirmed that the two nobles should be Wei Xin and Xiang Jing, and for some uncertain news, they must have prepared gifts for Empress Dowager Dou's birthday.

Saying that he came to taste the dishes of Zhuojia Restaurant was also improvised.

made Zhang Yuan really think that the reputation of Zhuojia Restaurant had been passed on to Chang'an Sanfu by merchants from the south to the north.

The ferryman talked to Zhang Yuan about these things, which distracted Zhang Yuan, and before he knew it, he had reached the other side of the river.

Zhang Yuan smiled gratefully at the ferryman, and then watched him go back to pick up the second egg.

After a while, the things prepared by Erdan and Zhang Yuan were also sent by the ferryman.

Zhang Yuan didn't ask the price, took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to the ferryman, and left very chic when he was stunned.

The happiness of the rich is so unpretentious and boring.

The landing place must have been a place where people often went into the mountains to collect herbs, so they were trampled out of a path, and the plants on both sides were vigorous, but this path was covered with moss and some freshly sprouted weeds.

In order not to keep himself from closing his eyes and looking at the map during this trip, Zhang Yuan chose to materialize this topographic map of the distribution of coal mines in Shu County, a very huge sheepskin map.

When he was at home, he was cut into nine parts by Zhang Yuan, and this part of the map of the coal-bearing rock system in the southern section of Longmen Mountain was brought out by Zhang Yuan from his home.

When Zhang Yuan took out this map, Xiong Da and the others were stunned, although they didn't know how to read, but there were marks on this map.

"Childe, didn't we come out to go out, what do you want this map for?"

It's time to tell the truth, Zhang Yuan took out two daggers from his boots, and regardless of whether the daggers had Zhang Yuan's body fragrance on them or not, they were directly handed to Xiong Da Xiong Er.

"Childe, I'll confess to you, this time I entered the Longmen Mountains to find something, if I can find it, I will reward you when I go back to Childe."

Saying that hush money or something is a reward will undoubtedly improve your image in the hearts of your subordinates.

Establish a generous and generous personality for yourself.

"Childe, is it possible that this map of yours is a treasure map, I heard the master say that there is a treasure buried by Emperor Gaozu in the deep mountains of Shu County, so that when he and Xiang Yu failed in the battle, he can return to Shu County to continue to recuperate.

However, Emperor Gaozu failed to return to Shu County, and this treasure disappeared. ”

When Xiong Da spoke, his eyebrows flew and danced, and he said the same as if he had seen Liu Bang bury the treasure with his own eyes.

What treasures are spread blindly, if Liu Bang really buried something, with his personality, will he not dig it out?

Zhang Yuan rolled up the map and slammed it towards Xiong Da's head.

"What do you think about all day, Childe, I'm just looking for some worthless things."

It doesn't matter if Xiong Da believes it or not, anyway, Zhang Yuan didn't tell a lie, before there was more coal, but if it was a pound or two of it, it would definitely not be worth it.

Fortunately, there is a road sign on the map, and Zhang Yuan can still tell where to go.

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, three grams of oil outside Ruimachi!
