Chapter 011: A Chance Encounter in the Lake
"You two follow along, I'll use you two later." Called the two soldiers at the door, Ma Du went out, and when he saw a small shop selling fried rice noodles, he ordered four bowls.
Ma Du took two bites and said, "It tastes good, and it would be better if there were a little more chili." Seeing the two soldiers secretly swallowing on the edge of the table, "Why don't you two eat?" Madu gestured to the other two bowls.
"This is for the two of you?" Zhang Wuliu asked in disbelief.
Liu Chujiu said: "The little ones have eaten ...... in the room", but Zhang Wuliu's stomach over there screamed angrily.
"Eat, eat, where can the two of us eat so much......" suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Wenying's rice bowl had bottomed out, and said in his heart that it was really possible to eat.
Ma Du ordered two more bowls, Zhang Wuliu and Liu Chujiu brought one bowl, squatted on the side of the road, and slashed into their mouths, but they didn't serve it.
Zhu Wenying puffed out his cheeks and said, "Just let them squat and eat, if they are allowed to serve on the table, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat." He threw the bowl aside and unceremoniously picked up another bowl.
This bastard, Lao Tzu spent a little money on him like cutting meat, and eating Lao Tzu's things is not ambiguous at all.
After Liu Chujiu finished eating the rice noodles, he asked the stall for four bowls of boiled water, and served them very doggedly. Zhang Wuliu squatted on the side and picked his teeth, found a shredded meat from between his teeth, and threw it into his mouth with joy, enjoying it very much, and seeing Ma Du was disgusted.
After eating and drinking, Ma Du settled the bill with the store, and six bowls of rice noodles only cost more than 20 yuan. gave the shopkeeper a small piece of broken silver, but found a small bag of copper coins, enough to weigh two or three catties.
He handed over the copper coins he found to Zhang Wuliu to carry, and the four of them had just left the shop, Zhang Wuliu suddenly ran back to the store, saying that Ma Du's bowl still had a lot of fried rice noodles left, and he couldn't afford to run the hall's Xiao Er, Ma Du was really satisfied by him.
The four of them went out of the city directly, Zhu Wenying borrowed a small boat from the soldier of the water gate with his waist card, and the four of them got on the boat and entered Poyang Lake along the waterway.
The sparkling Poyang Lake is endless, and if the wind and waves are stronger, I really think it is entering the sea. Madu stood at the bow of the ship and looked out, unable to see the shadow of the plane.
Ma Du asked, "Zhang Wuliu, do you remember which direction the plane was going?" ”
According to Zhang Wuliu, the plane was flying very low at that time, still in the direction of Poyang Lake. This made Ma Du, who was excited at the time, lose his joy, like pouring a basin of cold water.
The plane encountered a breakdown, and in the absence of a suitable landing site, landing on the surface was the best option.
He didn't want his grandfather and his comrades to have an accident, and would rather travel alone for more than 600 years rather than find the wreckage of the plane here.
According to the direction pointed by Zhang Wuliu, the boat traveled a full ten miles of waterway, and this distance was enough for the plane to glide and land. The water is wide and you can see fishermen and soldiers patrolling in small boats in the distance.
If a big guy really fell from the sky, he would definitely be discovered. Ma Du turned to look at Zhu Wenying behind him, "You won't find out and don't tell me." ”
Zhu Wenying protested dissatisfiedly, "What do you do with us!" Our Red Turban Army is all good men who are upright, how could they do such a dirty thing. ”
"Okay, just if I didn't say okay, don't make any noise, your ears are about to deaf you."
This guy is not very old, and his position is not high, but he is definitely a core member of Zhu Yuanzhang's group, and he must know any secrets. His temperament is a person who can't hide things, and he can always see a trace of a star, since he said no, it is really gone.
The four of them shook for half a day, and then turned around in the surrounding reeds, but there was no shadow of the plane, and Ma Du's heart relaxed slightly.
As soon as he sailed out of the reeds, a half-foot-long silver carp jumped out of the water and landed at Mado's feet, churning incessantly.
Madu stepped on it with his foot, clasped the gills and lifted it up, "Haha...... I drank fish soup today. ”
There was a sudden splash on the bow of the ship, followed by a creaking sound, and a grayish-white shadow emerged from the water.
It was a spindle-shaped creature, about three feet long, scaleless and hairless, with small eyes and a long snout, and its flippers slapping against the water.
"It's a white-sided dolphin!" Madu was overjoyed, "That's right, yes, it's really a white-sided dolphin!" ”
Ma Du was a little excited to see the creatures that would become extinct in the later generations, but Zhang Wuliu was even more excited, shouting: "Water demon! Water Monster! He threw the spear in his hand and sat in the cabin with a kick from Mado.
"What a water demon, this is a white-sided dolphin, very baby!"
Zhu Wenying said: "I have seen a lot of schools of finless porpoises near Yingtian, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of big fish with a gray and long snout. "It seems that there were not many white-sided dolphins in ancient times.
"It's not a fish, it's a mammal like a human, and it grows up in viviparous breast milk."
Zhu Wenying argued: "This is obviously a fish, why is it not a fish, otherwise how can it be in the water." ”
Mado didn't know how to explain it to him, and he didn't bother to explain it to him, so he stopped the boat and quietly looked at the creatures in the water.
This white-sided dolphin is less than a meter long, it is supposed to be a cub, and it doesn't seem to be very afraid of people. Seeing that the boat had stopped, he swam to the front of the bow of the boat, slapped the water with his two fins, opened his long mouth to reveal two rows of sharp teeth, made a squeaking sound, and kept his little eyes fixed on the silver carp in Madu's hand.
Ma Du seemed to understand, and shook the silver carp in his hand, "This can't be your prey." ”
Squeak squeak...... It flapped its fins more often, and the water splashed on the surface of Madu's feet, and he didn't mind, throwing the silver carp in his hand directly at the white-sided dolphin.
It is very flexible, catches it with a long kiss in a flash, plunges headlong into the water and disappears.
"Let's go, hehe......" Madu was very happy, and the gloomy mood of many days was swept away.
Unexpectedly, there was a sound of water, and the white-sided dolphin, which had disappeared, suddenly stopped the bow of the boat, still slapping the water and squeaking at Madu.
Ma Du squatted on the bow of the boat and asked with a smile: "Didn't you return all your prey, why didn't you let it go!" ”
Who knew that the little guy's body sank down, and the moon-shaped tail fin swept upward, and suddenly a splash of water hit Ma Du's face, making Ma Du so embarrassed. The little one resurfaced and stopped in front of the boat.
There was a burst of laughter behind him, Ma Du was not angry, he reached out and wiped the lake water on his face, and touched it all over his body, except for Zhu Wenying's money bag, he turned around and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”
"I've got some beef jerky here." Zhu Wenying took out a handkerchief from his arms and breaded some jerky in it. Liu Chujiu didn't know where to take out the two black-flour buns.
Ma Du originally thought that the white-sided dolphin only ate fish and shrimp, but who knew that the small half catty of beef jerky was eaten clean by it in the blink of an eye, and even the black flour bun was eaten half, and it was estimated that it was not appetizing, so he swallowed half and stopped eating it.
Seeing that it was very close, Madu hunched over and tried to touch its round head, but it was very clever, and its body turned over and disappeared, and it did not appear for a long time.
Ma Du said to himself: "Good guy, you are not allowed to touch it when you are full of food and drink, even the kiln sister in the brothel has a conscience than you." Let's go! ”
Everyone laughed, and no one paid attention to Zhang Wuliu's pale face.
