Chapter 104: Skateboarding Shoes on the Xiangjiang River
After leaving Yuetan Town, he walked a long mountain road, because Qian Guanzi only cared about touring the mountains and rivers all the way, and it took him half a day to come to this riverside town called Linyangjin.
It is said that most of the goods in Linyangjin are transported by land to "Yingxi", the capital of the green seedling country, so the waterway transportation of Linyangjin is relatively developed. At the same time, it is also a fishing town, so there are more boats, boats that are much larger than the small boats on the lake in Yuetan Town abound, and the wharf is full of workers who get on and off the boats to carry goods.
"Wow-"
After coming to the dock, Qian Guanzi stood on the side and exclaimed after looking at the big ships.
"Young master, young master, look, I have never seen such a big ship before."
I slowly followed behind, sneering disdainfully: "I don't know, you don't know, in another world, there is a big ship made of iron called an aircraft carrier, and the ships here are not as big as it combined." ”
"You're starting to brag again, young master."
"Tsk."
I poked her finger on the head and scolded her for disrespecting the prince.
After withdrawing his hand, he said: "Speaking of which, it's not like you've never seen such a big ship, the military ship we took when we sent it from the southern capital to the Qing Xuan Dao Sect was three times as large as that ship!" "I pointed to a ship moored at the dock.
"Have we ever been on a military ship?"
Qian Guanzi scratched his head, and after thinking for a while, he still didn't remember.
"After so many years ago, I forgot how we sent it, young master, you can even remember how big the ship was, you have a good memory."
At that time, I was still young, but my mental age was already in my twenties, and my memory was pretty good.
I was going to take a boat from here to Nandu, and I asked the workers at the docks and learned that there was a large cargo ship preparing to go to Peiqu City. Although Peiqu is quite far away from Nandu, it doesn't matter if you can transfer to other boats to Nandu after arriving in Peiqu.
I took the money and found the owner of the cargo ship and asked him to give us a ride. The boss agreed, but his workers were still carrying dozens of bags of rice onto the ship at the dock, which was estimated to take a while.
Anyway, it's boring to wait, so I generously asked Qian Guanzi to help them move.
After hearing this, Qian Guanzi complained indignantly: "I went to help, what about you, young master?" ”
I immediately pretended to be sick, "Look, my old injuries haven't healed, and I was still making such a fuss yesterday, but now my body is even weaker, and if I am asked to do heavy work, I guess I won't be able to go to Shonan." ”
Qian Guanzi didn't believe it, and while complaining that I would only call her, she ran over and took the initiative to help the workers there move rice back and forth. Her strength is not covered, and it is not a matter of carrying six bags of rice in one go. After a few rounds, we stunned the owner and the workers, and gave us a free ride as a token of gratitude.
Although it was not the first time for me and Qian Guanzi to take such a big ship, we stood on the bow of the ship as novelly as the first time, looking at the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the river, strange valleys and strange gorges, and we were both smirking. It's a pity that the preparation is insufficient, otherwise it feels absolutely good to enjoy the scenery while drinking like an outing.
Before the novelty has passed, the problem arises.
Qian Guanzi couldn't sit on the ship, and it was nothing at the beginning, but in less than half an hour, he said that he was a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, and after half an hour, he lay on the rails of the boat and vomited on the good river, and after half an hour, he had nothing to vomit and lay on the deck like a dead dog.
I squatted next to her and poked her face: "You can't swim, you can't walk on water, and you get seasick, you will die of drought on land in your life." ”
Qian Guanzi didn't have the strength to talk back to me, and tears of grief flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Young master, I may not be able to accompany you to Nandu."
"Who cares about you?"
I'm also a little tired of riding on a ship, but I can still resist the nausea of the ups and downs of a cargo ship after transporting the aura.
After waiting for the ship to sail for a while, I realized that the speed of the cargo ship was too slow, and I asked the owner how long it would take to get to Peiqu, and he replied: "If the wind is smooth and there is no rain, seven days will do." ”
"It's slow."
This is only to Peiqu, the place where Qian Guanzi and I are going is Nandu, and it will take at least half a month at this rate. I didn't think about this problem at all before I got on the ship, but now that I have calculated it, it is better to run directly to Nandu with light power. Although I am a little tired, but with the speed of my and Qian Guanzi's light work, even if we only run for three hours a day, it only takes eight days, and it is considered to be exercise, which is better than Qian Guanzi is now like a dead dog.
By the way, you can play like that.
A brilliant idea occurred to me, and I said goodbye to the owner of the boat, saying that we could go by ourselves, and he wondered how we were going to go.
I came to the deck and asked Qian Guanzi if she could stand up, and when I saw that she didn't react at all, I simply hugged her with a princess. When Qian Guanzi found out, she was a little more energetic, blushing and said to me: "Young master, you dead pervert, you want to do this kind of thing to me while everyone is away." ”
Ignoring her brainless words, I jumped from the bow of the boat to the surface of the river, and my feet condensed my aura to freeze a thin piece of ice from the river below, and drove the current under the thin ice to push me to glide on the river, like surfing very fast, and sliding a hundred feet away in a smoke.
In mid-October, the weather in the south has become a little cooler, and the autumn breeze blows in as you glide on the river, and it feels unusually refreshing.
Qian Guanzi, who was held by me, quickly regained his vitality, looked at the river and quickly retreated from both sides, and said to me in surprise: "Young master, you are really a genius!" ”
"Meaningless! I'm so smart, as long as I use my brain, what's the problem that can stump me? ”
"Hee-hee."
Gliding all the way down the Xiangjiang River, the people on the boats that occasionally pass by look at us with a confused face, it is estimated that they have never seen anyone gliding on the water in their lives, and they are still holding a woman, and the speed is still fast.
Gliding is different from taking a boat, Qian Guanzi quickly recovered completely, and wanted to let me continue to hug her princess. It was only after I threw myself into the water that she realized how cruel I was, and with a devastated face, she stood on the thin ice and put her arms around my waist and glided along the river with me.
I took a few breaks on the way, skied for two hours, and walked about 400 miles of waterway, and at this speed, I could reach Shonan in about three more days.
When it was already dark, I stopped at a village on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, took Qian Guanzi ashore, went into the village, asked people around, and was introduced to a simple hostel.
The environment in the store is not very good, it is a little dim, after all, it is only a small village, and you can't expect too much.
The proprietress of the shop is a big fat mother, and when she stood behind the counter and heard that we were going to Nandu, she kindly admonished: "Guest officer, I don't know what you plan to do in Nandu, but I advise you not to go as much as possible." Recently, the caravans that have passed by here have said that the south is dangerous now, and Cangtong's army is gathering on the other side of the south capital, and it may attack at any time, so you had better think carefully before you go. ”
There were rumors that Cangtong was going to attack Shonan when she was in Yuetan Town before, but I hadn't heard of such a serious situation at that time, and I always felt that this proprietress was exaggerating, or the caravan that told her the news was exaggerated.
"It's okay, if there is a fight over there, we'll run away."
The big fat mother shrugged her shoulders and took out a booklet and ink pen to register our house, "You two want a guest room, right?" Ten copper plates a night. ”
When she said this, Qian Guanzi and I were a little embarrassed.
"Two rooms."
"Oh?"
Auntie raised her head and looked at us again, and asked, "Not married?" Or are you brother and sister? No, this girl looks like she likes you. ”
guessed accurately, Qian Guanzi hid behind me and was even more shameless.
I approached my aunt and said strangely: "You may not believe it, but in fact, I am a righteous gentleman." “
Auntie ignored my words, glanced at me below, and said "oh~" in understanding, and the eyes that looked at both of us became a little sympathetic, "It's ...... so young I'll give you a discount, eighteen copper plates and two rooms, it's pretty empty right now, anyway. ”
Actually, I want to explain that it is not what she imagined, but after considering that it can be discounted, it is better to forget it.
I snapped my fingers back.
"It's your time to make that difference."
Qian Guanzi flipped his whole body up and down, and finally only held twelve copper plates, "Young master, that's all I have." ”
"What?!"
I was startled, and counted the copper plates on her palm with my fingers, and was shocked to find that there were indeed only twelve, and asked her with wide eyes, "How is that possible?" I remember your master gave you a big bag of silver coins, right? Spent so quickly? ”
Qian Guanzi said in wonder: "I bought a lot of things, and let Lao Liu take them back, don't you have them, young master?" ”
There's a ghost!
The little slut didn't pay me back a penny in the end.
What are you doing here, other heroes never take money as a thing when they travel to the rivers and lakes, why are they so poor and sour when they come to me? Am I not a hero?!
I stiffly turned my head to look at the proprietress who had already heard me talking to Qian Guanzi, and the enthusiasm she had before was gone, and she said very bluntly: "It seems that you still want a guest room, just mention it, the remaining two cents should be enough for you to eat a white rice, if the amount of food is not large." ”
“...... Okay, then borrow a kitchen and I'll go to the river to catch a fish and cook later, thank you. ”
Looks like I'll only be able to sleep with the stupid guy tonight, and I hope she's better off not doing anything to me. Or is it safer to tie her up with a chain before going to bed, as I said before.
