Fan Ying said, "Sister, it's easy for us to come here once, I want to take a boat!" ā
Liu Yuru said, I thought it was a big deal, this is easy to do, go and talk to the owner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiangyang City was originally just a military ferry, and after many years of construction and improvement, it slowly reached its current scale. Therefore, the role of the ferry port is still very important. To the northwest, below Lady City is an official ferry, where sails are gathered on the wharf, official ships loaded with timber, merchant ships full of mountain goods heading south, and clean and tidy passenger ships are ready to depart. There are even more small boats of fishermen than countable, and they have to go to Jianghan early in the morning to fish.
Gao Jun took Liu Yuru and Fan Ying to ride to the ferry, this line of three people, the man is handsome and free, and the woman is rare, as soon as they arrived at the dock, they attracted a lot of attention, and people speculated about the whereabouts of these three people and what their identities were. The owner of the ship, who had a few solicitations, quickly sent his men up to discuss the deal.
For a few people, Gao Jun shook his head and said that it was inappropriate, because they had three horses in addition to three people, and horses could not be left behind. And these ships either have passengers on board, or the ships are too small.
Finally found a boat, not big or small, the deck was clean enough to tie horses, the wooden boathouse at the stern was painted with red paint, and the white window paper was elegant, Liu Yuru said, "Jun, this is the boat." ā
Gao Jun stepped forward to hook up, an old man in his fifties on the boat was the owner of the ship, two other guys were packing the cable on the boat, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, who said that it was the owner's daughter. Seeing that the patrons had come, the shipowner was very attentive and hurriedly asked them where they were going. Gao Jun said, "Go to the south." ā
The owner of the ship smiled, "Childe, everyone who gets on the ship goes to the south, and no one hires such a big ship to the north." There must be a place in the south. Gao Jun was thinking about where to go, Fan Ying said, "We are going to the south of the Yangtze River to play, you just need to send us to the Yangtze River." ā
The boat owner said, "If you go to the river, it is only three or four hundred miles to Jingzhou by land, and you have to go to Ezhou by water, but you have to have a small road of one thousand miles." Why don't you have horses and go overland and save money? ā
One guy said, "The riverside is wide, and there is no accurate location." Gao Jun said with a smile, "My little lady just wants to take a boat to the riverside to play, as long as it is by the riverside, no matter where it is, it doesn't matter." ā
The boss explained the matter clearly, and they were happy with each other, so they negotiated the price, "Then if you tentatively go to Ezhou to get off the ship, it will cost one hundred and twenty taels of silver, but we can't drive the boat now, because we have to carry some things to Jiangzhou for others, and the things have not yet arrived, so we have to wait for the afternoon to sail." ā
Gao Jun said, "It's nothing, it's okay for us to play in Xiangyang for another half a day," so they paid the deposit, and Gao Jun and the three of them led the horses out of the dock, and then played in Xiangyang City for half a day.
After lunch in the city, Liu Yuru wanted to eat sugar crabs on the boat, so he picked a dozen crabs from the riverside vendors, all of which were as big as the palms of his hands, and bullied them in the net pockets. Gao Jun also brought two large jars of good wine, and when the three of them came back, they saw that the boat was waiting there.
This boat was chartered by Gao Jun, and there were no other guests, Gao Jun Liu Yuru and Fan Ying stepped forward, and suddenly the daughter of the owner of the boat who saw in the morning hurriedly came out of the corner and stopped Gao Jun and said, "This brother, my father suddenly couldn't get out of the boat because of something, and someone else came out on his behalf, so I'll ask...... Do you still take the boat? ā
Fan Ying liked her clever appearance a little, smiled and pulled her hand and said, "Why don't you sit?" Whoever drives the boat is the same. "But my father's skills are the best." ā
Fan Ying said, "Sister, it doesn't matter if anyone doesn't go, as long as you follow along the way and talk." ā
The girl said, "I am the only one who lives with my father, and if he doesn't go, of course I won't either," and the three of them saw that she was just going to do it, and they went on. The little girl said behind her, "Actually, I'm willing to go with you...... Because, the two sisters are so fragrant......"
Fan Ying listened and knew that she was talking about the musk bag hanging on her body. For some reason, Fan Ying liked this little girl very much, so she reached out and untied the sachet on her body, "I've given it to you!" She happily took it and thanked her repeatedly.
The three of them got into the boat, and the little girl was still standing on the pier, and she waved at them. The big ship untied the cable and slowly left the dock. Liu Yuru said, "At first glance, this girl is a sensible child." ā
There were four men on board, two of the younger and stronger ones hoisting the sails ahead, one of the older ones at the helm of the stern, and one of the more capable ones, who seemed to be doing some hospitality and entertainment on a daily basis.
He led Gao Jun and the three of them to the cabin, and the cabin on the deck was for the guests to rest, and they took turns to rest and went to the bilge. He said with a smile, "The son and the young lady can rest assured that they can take care of themselves on our boat, they can see the scenery on both sides of the strait during the day, and enjoy the moon by the river at night, which is even more refreshing." ā
Gao Jun said, "Can you cook crabs on the boat?" ā
That humanity, why can't it? If you go to the river for a few days, you won't stop at random at all. It's not just about boiling crabs, everything you eat and drink has to be solved on the boat. He saw the bag of crabs that Fan Ying was carrying, so he came up to pick them up. Fan Ying had a whim and said, "Senior brother, I want to cook it myself." ā
So, the guy pointed out the pot stove on the boat to Fan Ying and reminded, "Miss, you can cook it yourself, but the spoon in the pot can't be upside down, we are particular." Fan Ying knows, and even says that she knows.
As soon as the Han River crosses Xiangyang, the river surface opens up, and the water is so vast and stable that people can hardly feel the ups and downs of the boat when standing on the boat. The three horses were already tied to the mast, and Gao Jun first accompanied Liu Yuru and Fan Ying to stand on the deck and look at the two banks.
Liu Yuru found that Gao Jun's gaze had been lingering on her body, so she asked softly, "Jun, what are you looking at?" Haven't you seen it? ā
Gao Jun said, "I've seen it countless times, I just felt hello before, but today I feel it, I feel it......" In her frequent smiles and every move, there was a charming attitude that he had never experienced, but he couldn't find a proper word to say.
Fan Ying said with jealousy, "You used to be blindfolded with a sheet, of course you can't see it." Now that you've torn the sheets, of course you see it. ā
That night, Gao Jun was only like a happy dream in a daze and drunkenness, feeling like he was with Xie Jinlian and like with Siqing, but in that feeling, there was the calm and delicate of Wanqing and Cui Yan. Now when I think of it, there are no suitable words to express it, but what Fan Ying said about the sheets is extremely clear. Gao Jun laughed when he heard this, and the unhappiness that had accumulated in his chest for a while was swept away.
Liu Yuru even had a pink neck, and said angrily, "You senior brothers and sisters are planning to play with people, you have passed the Qinling Mountains, and you don't even go to see the master and his old man, aren't you afraid that he will blame you?" ā
Gao Jun grabbed her waist and said, "If I turn around to Zhongnan Mountain, I won't be able to hear your call." ā
The three of them watched for a while, and Gao Jun asked the boatman for a fishing rod and bait, and sat on the side of the boat to fish. Liu Yuru Fan Ying was by his side, and seeing his attentive appearance, both of them felt that such a day was more interesting than him worrying about things in the ranch all day long, and even running out to fight and kill for months. Therefore, every time Gao Jun took the bait, the two of them shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
The water is steady and deep, and the crucian carp crossing the river emerges endlessly, and suddenly the fishing rod sinks, and the pulling force under the water from the hand increases sharply! A big fish! Gao Jun put the fishing rod with both hands and shouted, "Press it quickly, don't be pulled into the water by it." ā
Liu Yuru and Fan Ying also noticed, and the two of them pressed on Gao Jun's shoulders one by one, and Gao Jun said, "It's strange, when you come, you are even more powerless!" ā
When the two men heard the sound, they rushed over to take a look, only to see a wide blue fish back like a small door paddling across the water, and one of the men exclaimed, "Guest officer, you have caught a dragon!" (To be continued.) )
