Chapter Twenty-Eight: Back to Phoenix Mountain, Qi River Fishing

The soldiers of the hundred-man team led by Pan Lifu were all on horseback, and the representatives of other powerful forces accompanying him were also on horseback, but the Taoist priests were on foot, so the speed was delayed.

Xi Wenshi saw that there were a few horse-drawn carriages that had not yet returned to the city parked outside the west gate, and the large wooden wheels wrapped in iron sheets of the carriage were about the same height as the wheels of the big trucks, but they were a little thinner, so he tried to arrange a few such carriages The front of the carriage was parallel to the ground, and the two wooden handles at the front of the car could be tied to the steel frame behind the truck compartment.

So, arrange to put some hay on the horse and let a group of Taoist priests sit on it, Guo Xiaoqing and Zhou E originally planned to accompany them in a carriage, Xi Wenshi arranged the two of them in the passenger seat of the cab, and their accompanying maids were arranged to sit in the back seat of the cab. Such a large truck pulled five wagons, on which were the provisions of Taoist priests and sergeants, and the others accompanied on horseback.

In addition, Xi Wenshi also took out 20 solar craft street lamps on the truck, and let the Taoist priests sit on the carriage with one in their hands, so that if they camp at night, this street lamp is plugged into the ground for lighting, which is much more convenient.

All the way to the Phoenix Mountain in Linzhou.

This Phoenix Mountain, I don't know if it is the same place name as the Phoenix Mountain that Xiwen Stone went to investigate in later generations. Fortunately, the official road is quite smooth, and Xi Wenshi only needs to let the carriage tied to the back of the truck get stuck in the lane. Looking at the chatter of several girls in the cab, Xi Wenshi took out a box of milk tea, a box of desserts and snacks, and a box of melon seeds from the rear compartment, and moved to the cab. ”

Guo Xiaoqing blushed, Xi Wenshi was noncommittal, and said: "I'm afraid that you will be bored on the way, so I will bring you some dessert candied fruit and sweet milk tea." As she spoke, she unscrewed a bottle of milk tea and handed it to Guo Xiaoqing, she handed it to Zhou E, and Xi Wenshi opened another bottle for her. Then he said to the maids in the back seat, "Unscrew yourselves." ”

Then, he tore open a bag of melon seeds, handed it to Guo Xiaoqing, and asked her and Zhou E to eat melon seeds.

As soon as the horn of the Xiwenshi truck sounded, Zheng En took the lead, his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, beat the horse outside the window, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, let's compete to see who can run faster?" ”

The big truck dragged the carriage, and the speed was not too fast, and the speed was only thirty kilometers per hour, anyway, it was not far from Linzhou, which was roughly the same as the speed of horseback riding.

Although this official road is not as good as the highway network of later generations, and even the national highway is not comparable, the weeds on both sides of the road have been cleared, and it can be regarded as endless.

There were no words along the way, and it took about two hours to march. It is to the Qi River at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. The horse team stopped one after another, and put the horses to drink water and eat some grass in the riverside wetland of the Qi River, Zhao Kuangyin rode to the window of the car, and said to Xi Wenshi: "Third brother, the horse team is a little tired, do you see if you stop and rest for half an hour, I just discussed with General Wei, this place is still 20 kilometers away from Linzhou, and you can be stationed in Linzhou tonight." ”

Xi Wenshi stopped and lowered the window, and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Just do as you say, everyone will rest for half an hour." Then he turned to Guo Xiaoqing and said, "Do you want to go down for a walk?" ”

Several of the girls nodded, and then Xi Wenshi got out of the car and walked to the other window, opened the door, and helped them out of the car.

It seems to be the Phoenix Mountain of later generations, but the road up the mountain is very rugged, so I won't go up the mountain this time, and I'll talk about it later.

Looking at the water of the Qi River is much clearer than in later generations, and the river surface seems to be larger, on the bank of the river, there are some thatched houses, and there are dozens of dilapidated small wooden boats docked by the river, I think they are boatmen who rely on the river for food.

A boat had rowed far away and came ashore, and a soldier led the boat owner to the front and said to the eldest prince: "Tell the eldest prince that the land protector of the narrow river village opposite the Phoenix Mountain has come to meet him." ”

Liu Chengxun said to Xi Wenshi: "Master Xi, what do you think is the arrangement?" Can you leave it to him? ”

Xi Wenshi said with a smile: "You are fishing boatmen in the Qi River?" ”

The boatman lowered his head and said carefully: "What Childe said is that we are boatmen in the vicinity, and we usually make a living from fishing. ”

"It's nothing, what do you usually use to catch fish?"

"Fishing is the majority, and there are also small cages made of bamboo strips that are harvested overnight in shallow waters."

"Isn't that not a lot of catch?"

"Hui Gongzi's words, that's exactly the case."

"Do you think that's possible? Bring us the fish from your village, and we can exchange it with you for rice. ”

Si Wenshi wants to eat at night, before crossing the Nile worked for several years, has not returned to China, did not eat authentic fish, originally planned to let the group purchase a batch of fishing nets and condiments, Xi Wenshi also plans to fish in the Nile?

Najibao nodded yes, and went back to get the catch.

Xi Wenshi smiled at Liu Chengxun and said, "The eldest prince is interested in fishing and playing?" ”

Liu Chengxun Yile: "It's so good, I haven't caught it yet?" Think about it when I was in Taiyuan, my father never let me play in the water, or was it a landlubber? ”

Xi Wenshi smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't have to go into the water." ”

Xi Wenshi opened the carriage and took a silk net that he had seen before, and when he saw that there were ten of them, he asked Zheng En to bring a few sergeants who knew how to water over, and let them take a small boat on the shore and spread the wire net into a straight line and put it into the river, they didn't understand, so they just did it.

Then, Xi Wenshi pulled Liu Chengxun to stand on the shore and leaned against the trunk of the tree to watch.

"Xigongzi, can you catch fish here?"

"Of course, soon, almost half an hour, it's fine."

Everyone in the group looked at the calm river stupidly, not knowing what to do.

Xi Wenshi thought that if he was lucky, he should be able to make a whole fish feast tonight.

In less than half an hour, the land of the narrow river village rowed over with two fishing boats and sent the catch, there were a lot of small fish, and there were more than a dozen herring and carp, which was not bad in ancient times. Xi Wenshi pulled Zheng En and asked him to see how much rice grain this was worth, and Zheng En said that two buckets of rice were enough.

Thinking that these fish were caught in this small fishing village for a few days, two buckets of rice were not much, looking at the dishes on their faces, Xi Wenshi asked Zheng En to arrange for the sergeant to take out five buckets of rice from the supplies and give them to the land guard, who thanked him for receiving the rice without mentioning it.

Xi Wenshi saw that the time was almost up, so he arranged for Zheng En to take the sergeant to collect the net, and carefully put the wire net around in a circle, and sure enough, in half an hour, ten wire nets collected more than 30 big fish, of which silver carp were the majority, as well as five herring fish and three carp.

Now the whole team can have fish to eat at night.

Dibao was stunned and watched Xi Wenshi catch so many fish in a while, Xi Wenshi looked at him and asked him if he knew how to use it?

"You know, this boy, I just watched the sergeant and they fish, and they are so powerful and catch so much?"

"I see you fishing for a living, and I'll give you a fishing net, and you can go back and see if you can make a fishing net and catch more fish."

The land protector thanked him and left.

Liu Chengxun was dumbfounded, and said, "Young Master Xi, I didn't expect you to be so good at fishing?" ”

Xi Wenshi said with a smile: "It's not that I'm good, it's the fishing gear that is amazing." Tonight, I can let the eldest prince have a whole fish feast. ”

"That's wonderful."

Arrange the team to reorganize, continue to move forward, and go to Linzhou.
