When Xu Zizhen woke up, it was dusk, and he didn't know when he returned to the cabin, Li Meng sat quietly aside, and when he woke up, he quickly turned a basin of hot water, and complained: "Uncle, why are you drunk like this?" I can barely carry you. ”

Xu Zizhen himself was also a little embarrassed, he sat up with his head up, the sharp pain in his head was like a knife and an axe, and he couldn't help but snort and laughed at himself: "This time it's a big deal, I didn't expect Liu Feng to be able to drink with a white-faced scholar better than me...... Oh, by the way, how is he? ”

Li Meng pursed his lips: "What else?" It's about the same as you, I also carried him back to the room, and he hasn't moved until now, so he probably hasn't woken up yet. ”

As he was talking, there were a few pecks outside the cabin, and the owner of the ship called at the door: "Brother Xu, are you awake?" ”

Xu Zizhen only felt embarrassed for a while, and said that he would escort the boat for others, but he drank for a long time, and then fell asleep for a long time, he quickly got up and opened the door, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I accidentally drank like this, don't worry, I won't drink anymore." ”

The shipowner's surname is Liu, he is a kind person, he didn't blame Xu Zizhen for anything, just smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's still in southern Anhui today, there are no water bandits in this waterway, Brother Xu is drunk and it's okay, I just want to talk to my brother, it's time to enter Jinghu North Road in the near future, there are occasional water bandits in this section of the waters, and I'm afraid I will have to rely on Brother Xu to bother more." ”

Xu Zizhen nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be, shopkeeper Liu, you can rest assured." ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything, politely went back to his room twice, Xu Zizhen washed up and came to the deck, just stretched on the side of the ship, and saw Liu swaying with the wind and walking out of the cabin with a pale face, and when he saw him, he immediately smiled bitterly: "Brother Xu is really massive, little brother admires!" ”

Xu Zizhen waved his hand and smiled: "The amount of sea fart, I just woke up not long ago, so I can't drink like this in the future, how do I think we are planning to end up together?" After that, he and Liu Feng looked at each other and smiled.

Both of them are straightforward and honest in nature, plus they were drunk together, although they have only known each other for less than a day, they have become as warm as old friends, and the sky is getting dark, and the rain finally falls, and the two of them returned to the cabin and spent the night obediently.

Along the way, Xu Zizhen really didn't drink again, even Liu Fengsui seemed to be injured by drinking, and he didn't mention it again, the two just set up a small red clay stove to simmer a pot of hot water to make a cup of tea, and it was very comfortable to chat.

On the morning of the third day, the ship crossed the southern Anhui border and entered Jinghu North Road, Xu Zizhen cheered up, and Li Meng stayed on the deck to prevent the bandits from infesting, but the river was always calm, and the boats came and went.

Dusk was approaching, Xu Zizhen suddenly found that there were more and more boats on the river, shuttling back and forth to be extremely lively.

Xu Zizhen is known as the road of this place, Jiangling is also known as Jingzhou, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, south of the Yangtze River north of the Han River, west control of Bashu and south of Hunan and Guangdong, known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces in ancient times, belongs to the history of the famous southeast town, the Three Kingdoms Liu Bei borrowed and did not return this place.

He was looking forward curiously, but Shopkeeper Liu slowed down the boat and moored at the Jiangling Wharf, his ship was not too big, so he couldn't bring too much water and grain after carrying a lot of goods, Jiangling Mansion was extremely prosperous, and it was suitable for him to replenish halfway.

After the boat was berthed, the shopkeeper Liu took people ashore to purchase, Xu Zizhen saw that there was still a lot of time, so he and Li Meng asked Liu Feng to get off the boat with him to go shopping on the dock, and he was right to connect with the ground.

As soon as the three of them got off the boat, they were infected by the noisy atmosphere on the pier, although it was almost dark now, but it was still crowded with people, from time to time there were boats anchoring or setting sail, shirtless footmen wearing bast shoes could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a strange smell mixed with sweat and various aromas.

In the distance, along the river, there were shops selling wine and meat, boats and fishing gear, and even half-hung curtains doing the leather and meat business, and at the door stood a woman, dressed in fancy fashion and winking at the passing peddlers and pawns.

Liu Feng looked at the scene in front of him and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it is an important place in the southeast, and it is a prosperous scene." ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "It's dirty, messy and smelly here, you are such a clean scholar and don't you dislike it?" ”

Liu Feng said with the right color: "These are the people at the bottom of my Great Song Dynasty, and they can be said to be the most indispensable part of the world. ”

Xu Zizhen gave a thumbs up: "Liu Gongzi is really different from the average sour show, admire and admire!" ”

Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, and was about to say something, but his eyes showed surprise, looked behind Xu Zizhen and said, "Huh? How did this man get off our ship? He doesn't seem to be a man on the ship. ”

Xu Zizhen turned his head to follow his gaze, but saw a shirtless man walking quickly off the gangplank, his body was sneaky and his eyes flashed, I don't know who it was, Xu Zizhen had the responsibility of protecting the boat, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing on our boat?" ”

The man was taken aback coldly, but when he looked at it, he saw that there were two young people, one was dressed as a scholar, the other was not so gentle, but he also looked like a little white face, and the other was not yet an adult, and there was only a faint layer of fluff on his lips. ”

Xu Zizhen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Oh? It's not dark yet, are your eyes so bad? ”

The man became impatient, glared and said, "Lao Tzu said that if he is wrong, he will be wrong, why do you still suspect Lao Tzu of stealing things?" ”

Xu Zizhen saw that he was only wearing a pair of thin trousers, with his trouser legs rolled up high, and a pair of bast shoes under his feet, but he really had no place to hide things, but he always felt that the reason for going on the wrong boat seemed far-fetched.

Seeing that he was still looking at himself, the man couldn't help but say angrily: "You kid is looking for a fight, right? Dare to treat Lao Tzu as a thief? He said as he spoke, his fists clenched, and he was about to hit him when he saw that something was wrong.

The dock is a mixed place, and Xu Zizhen has just arrived, for fear of accidentally provoking some local power, he doesn't care, but he is worried about affecting the shopkeeper Liu, since this person didn't steal anything, he smiled and dodged away, and didn't say more.

"Count you as acquaintances!" The man snorted coldly, didn't look at Xu Zizhen anymore, and walked away quickly.

After a while, the shopkeeper Liu bought things and returned to the ship, it was dark today, the ship was moored at the dock, and left at dawn tomorrow, Xu Zizhen was lying in the cabin, thinking about the man who got on the wrong boat, and always felt that something seemed wrong.

Is this really a bad look? Then why the don't you go down to the river? ——

Well, I owe a chapter, and I'll make it up the day after tomorrow, sorry!
