Chapter XXVIII
"Let's go!" Qin Muyao dragged Cheng Lianjin by the sleeve and dragged him outside.
"What's the matter, my Tetris score is about to surpass yours!" Cheng Lianjin threw himself on the bed as he struggled.
"No! for five days, you are not allowed to touch your mobile phone!" Qin Muyao said to Cheng Lianjin with wide eyes.
"Why?" Cheng Lianjin looked at Qin Muyao with a puzzled expression.
"If I say no, I won't do it! I'll delete your fingerprint and replace it with a password, and you won't touch your phone for five days!" Qin Muyao said and dragged Cheng Lianjin out of the room.
Although Cheng Lianjin was sullen and a little unhappy, he still followed Qin Muyao to the deck.
When the old king saw the two people coming to the deck to blow the wind, he smiled at the two people and said hello: "The two little brothers have come out to blow the wind!"
"yes, I've been in the room for too long, and I've been out for activities. Qin Muyao replied.
"Then let's take a stroll here, although the waterway is full of water as far as the eye can see, but the wind is still very good. The old king sat on a plank and basked in the sun.
"Okay!" Qin Muyao replied with a smile.
Dragged Cheng Lianjin to the railing on the side of the deck, looking at the boat that had been moving forward, blowing the oncoming wind, Qin Muyao had a feeling of stretching.
Stretching her waist, Qin Muyao patted Cheng Lianjin's arm beside her: "Can you have a little spirit, look at you now, you don't have any energy at all!"
Cheng Lianjin also felt that he had been too decadent in the past few days, and he always stayed in the room, but now he really feels much more comfortable when he comes out.
"You teach me to do what kind of punch you taught them in the Medicine Pavilion!" Cheng Lianjin also stretched out his arm, and suddenly thought of what kind of punch Qin Muyao would have, and he said to Qin Muyao on a whim and wanted to move.
"Tai Chi?" Qin Muyao felt that this was what Cheng Lianjin said, because she would only do this.
"Yes, yes, that's that Tai Chi!" Cheng Lianjin nodded.
"Okay, then I'll take you to fight again. Qin Muyao saw that Cheng Lianjin was so interested, so she agreed.
Except for the two of them on deck, there was only one old king basking in the sun.
"Uncle Wang, do you want to fight with us?" Old Wang Tou originally looked at the two of them talking with a smile, but he didn't expect Qin Muyao to suddenly ask himself, and he was stunned for a moment.
"What?" asked the old king.
"A set of boxing techniques, used to strengthen the body, I see that you are okay to stay, come with us again!" Qin Muyao invited the old king.
The old king was drowsy, and he didn't want to follow the two of them to practice any boxing, but when he saw Qin Muyao, the old king thought of his youngest son inexplicably.
is also at such an age, and he also likes to laugh.
"Okay, then I'll move with you. Old Wang got up and moved his arms and legs, ready to move with Qin Muyao and the others.
"Come, follow me. Rise... Hold the ball... Push... Evenly handed... Evenly handed... Retractable. After a set of Tai Chi, Qin Muyao felt that her spirit was much better, but she sweated a lot because she practiced under the sun.
Because Taijiquan is originally a set of boxing methods that overcome rigidity with softness, similar to slow work and meticulous work, it is not difficult for Cheng Lianjin to follow.
Lao Wangtou only stretched out his arms and moved his legs, so he didn't feel much emotion.
After the activity, Lao Wang Tou sat back on his small stool.
Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin sat on the ground next to the old king's head, blowing the wind and watching the scenery with him.
"Uncle Wang, how many years have you been walking by water?" Qin Muyao asked.
"The old man is fifty-three years old this year, and he has been on the waterway for thirty-five years!" said the old Wang Tou with a smile.
"Thirty-five years!" Qin Muyao's eyes widened and she looked at the old king with a look of adoration.
"yes. Thinking of the past, the old king felt a lot of emotion.
"My family used to be poor, but my four brothers were all young men and could eat. My family couldn't afford it, so they sent me to someone else's shop as an apprentice. Because it was a recession at the time, I was kicked out many times. After going through several shops, I finally followed my master to the boat and worked as a crew member. ”
"What about later?" Qin Muyao especially liked to listen to the old man tell her previous stories, and when she heard the old man's previous experience, she asked curiously.
"Later, most of the crew on the ship died of an unknown illness, and so did my master. Only the captain and three crew members remained, including me. The old king looked blankly at the sky and said.
"If you don't die in this great calamity, you will be blessed. Qin Muyao received it.
"You're really right, and I'm really blessed. Our ship docked and buried the bodies of these men, and the captain recruited a new crew, but since I was already an old employee, the captain began to teach me to recognize the way and the water. ”
"Then the captain went home and quit, and I was able to do it for a while. After walking on the water for a few years and saving some money, he returned to Yunzhou to marry his daughter-in-law. Speaking of his daughter-in-law, the old king smiled like an old chrysanthemum.
"Look at your smile, your daughter-in-law must be very beautiful!" Qin Muyao teased with a smile.
"Yes, when Li Niang was young, she was known to be good-looking in our country!" said the old king.
"I married Liniang and gave birth to three boys. The youngest one, about your age. The old king said and pointed at Qin Muyao.
"You're eighteen years old!" Qin Muyao said in surprise.
"Do you have eighteen? Look so small, my old boy is sixteen!" The old king looked at Qin Muyao again, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like an eighteen-year-old person.
"The old man didn't want to come out, but the owner of this boat and I are also old acquaintances, and I have been given a lot of silver, so I went with him a few times. ”
After the old king finished speaking, Qin Muyao sighed with emotion: "Half a life of hardship and half a life of wealth, but you are also a blessing if your daughter-in-law is so beautiful!"
"You must be better than me!" Old Wang Tou smiled when he heard Qin Muyao's words and said to her: "You are so handsome, you must be able to find a particularly good-looking girl!"
"I don't have to look good, as long as I can be as good-looking as him, but not as girly as him, I think I'm lucky for three lives!" Qin Muyao pointed at Cheng Lianjin.
Before Cheng Lianjin could react, Qin Muyao spread her feet and ran into the cabin.
While running, Qin Muyao said to the old king: "Uncle Wang, let's talk next time!"
Cheng Lianjin reacted, and immediately got up to chase Qin Muyao: "Who do you say is girly!
"It's here so soon. Qin Muyao was holding the half-eaten apple in her mouth while cleaning up her things with her two free hands.
"It's that you live too much every day, so you feel that time flies. Cheng Lianjin also stuffed his clothes into the baggage.
After packing up, the two of them went to the deck, and the surrounding scenery was really not water, and looking ahead, you could see many boats moored at the shore port, which was already very close.
"Uncle Wang, where is this?" asked Cheng Lianjin.
"It's called Rundu, and it's a buying and selling port. The old king looked at the shore mouth that was about to arrive, and the boats were coming and going.
"Then if you want to go to the capital here, how can you go faster? Qin Muyao asked before Cheng Lianjin exited.
Ten days of getting along day and night, the two of them already have a tacit understanding, and seeing Cheng Lianjin's expression, Qin Muyao knew what he wanted to ask.
"If you take the waterway directly, you also need to go to Suibin, and then take the dry road to get to the capital. If you go directly by dry road, you can get to the capital in about three days by horse-drawn carriage, and if you ride a horse, you should be able to get there in a little more than a day. The old king stroked his beard and said.
By this time, the ship had reached the shore where it was moored, and the men on board threw the anchor into the water, and when the boat had stabilized, they threw a long rope ashore.
There were people on the shore who took the rope, pulled the boat to the side, and then tied the rope firmly to the post on the shore.
One of the crew members took out a long, thick-looking plank and placed it between the ship and the shore shelf, and the people on board began to disembark one after another with some of the cargo.
Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin got off the boat with Lao Wangtou, and walked on the boat for ten days, and as soon as they were down-to-earth, Qin Muyao couldn't help but jump on the ground a few times.
Lao Wang Tou looked at the crew members who were unloading for a while, and when he saw that they didn't make a mistake, he looked at Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin.
"Are you in a hurry?" asked the old king.
"Uncle Wang, do you have any good ideas?" Cheng Lianjin is a villain, and when he heard the old man's words, he felt that the old man could come up with some methods for himself.
When the old Wang heard Cheng Lianjin's words, he laughed several times.
"I'm just a bad old man, what good can I do!" said the old king as he turned around: "It's just that I've been here for a few years before, and I know a few dart heads." If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for me to unload this batch of goods and then take you to ask. ”
"Then it's troublesome Uncle Wang. Qin Muyao smiled and pinched the old king's shoulder.
More than a dozen crew members, together with more than a dozen people who came to pick up the goods, quickly unloaded the goods.
Lao Wangtou carefully checked the goods before leaving, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he let the family pull the goods away.
He gave some silver to a man on the ship, who was not young and steady, and told him to leave a few people to watch the ship, and the others to go with him to eat something good.
After the order was given, the old king took the two men and left.
This run is worthy of being a trading port, and there are a lot of fresh food.
Qin Muyao looked at the many fresh fish and shrimp sellers on the side of the street, and the hala was almost three feet long.
"Don't look at you, your eyes are going to run into the belly of that fish!" Cheng Lianjin slapped Qin Muyao with his arm.
Qin Muyao pursed her lips, and saw that the eyes of Qin Muyao, the old king next to her, lit up.
Cheng Lianjin saw Qin Muyao's gaze and glanced at the old king, and knew that she was asking the old king's head to lie to herself.
Sure enough, Qin Muyao's next words were: "Uncle Wang, let's go to the dart game after eating." For the sake of your more care for us along the way, let Lian Jin invite you to a meal and talk about respect, okay?"
