Chapter Eighty-Six: Humility
When Lin Ling and the others got on the boat again, they only heard the boatman shouting, picked up the bamboo pole and put it on the rocks on the shore, and with the help of the boat, the boat was shocked three meters away.
Then he put down the bamboo pole and picked up the wood pulp, first swayed it from side to side for five or six rounds, and as the speed of the boat kept up, the boatman put the wood pulp flat and began to return the same way he had come at an even speed.
When the boat slid out of a certain distance, Lin Ling pointed to the many branches of the river and began to ask the boatman:
"Boatman, I would like to ask you, these waterways seem to be very narrow, why are there so many boats that do not leave in spacious places, but pass by here one after another?"
Hearing this, the boatman who was shaking the pulp at this time turned his head and glanced at the boats casually, sorted out his words and said, "No way, after coming out of Anzemen, only these small tributaries can lead to Luoshui." ”
"If my guess is correct, these people should all go to Jiangyang City, on this day every year, there will always be a group of leisurely people who will go to Jiangyang to see the wonders, this is nothing unusual."
Lin Ling, who was originally just puzzled, listened to the boatman's explanation, but the whole person became even more confused.
And the boatman saw that he couldn't hear Lin Ling's question again for a long time, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that he didn't say why the people on the passenger ship wanted to go to Jiangyang, and he was immediately embarrassed.
"Childe, those people are all going to see the lion dance conference, because Jiangyang is not far from Kyoto, so at this time of year, there will always be some good and elegant people who will sail up the river to Jiangyang."
After listening to Zhang Lun's explanation, Lin Ling nodded slowly and got the answer he wanted, but Lin Ling seemed to be lacking in interest, and he didn't say anything more at the moment, just glanced at the shadow of the boat in the distance, then leaned back against Yang Zhen, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Because the boatman walked the same way, and Lin Ling closed his eyes to recuperate, and Guo Quan only cared about appreciating the poems in his hand, so everyone had no meaning to talk along the way.
The boat went back and forth for about half an hour, except for Yang Zhen, the three of them were all in a mess, and they slept so happily that even if the boatman didn't have to take care of the boat, he would have found a place to cat.
At this time, the boat finally came to the magnificent Anze Gate, because the guards had already inspected the ship when they came, and Lin Ling and they had not been gone for long, so it took almost no time for Lin Ling's ship to be released.
Watching the boat enter the city, when he just walked to the mouth of a street and alley, Lin Ling suddenly stood up and patted the boatman on the shoulder, turned his head to Guo Quan and said, "Pinzhi, you go back first, I still have some things to do, and I may go back later." ”
Hearing Lin Ling say this, the boatman was also sensible, knowing that Lin Ling was probably going to get off the ship here, so he hit the rudder and docked the boat steadily next to the stone steps on the side.
Because this is an alley, there are more or less other boats entering the river from this place, so when the river passes through the street, a three-meter-wide stone platform will appear at the end of the street, and under the stone platform are two or three stone steps, which are always in line with the water surface.
At this time, the place where the boatman docked was the center of the stone steps, and there were no ships to dock now, otherwise the boatman would be scolded for being so domineering and lying the ship in the middle of the stone platform.
At this time, Guo Quan heard Lin Ling say this, and seemed to think of something in his heart, but it seemed that Guo Quan didn't mean to speak, just looked up at Lin Ling's unsmiling face, and whispered a word of caution to pay attention to safety, and then lowered his head again to study the poem.
Although Guo Quan's words were concise and to the point, Lin Ling had been friends with Guo Quan for nearly ten years, and knew his Guo Quan's character, so he was not hypocritical, nodded and glanced at Yang Zhen, turned around and stepped on the deck on the stone platform.
After Yang Zhen also got on the stone platform, the boatman left with the boat, and Lin Ling continued: "Gongwei, go with me." ”
As if seeing that Lin Ling's mood was not high, hearing Lin Ling say this, Yang Zhen nodded, and followed Lin Ling aimlessly towards the unknown street in front of him.
Maybe because of the proximity to the water gate, there are not many pedestrians and shops on this street, far less than the previous rubbing shoulders like Huanggu Street, at this time the two walked on the street, a lonely and cool atmosphere rushed to the face, but it reminded Lin Ling of his hometown, lovesick building.
In fact, Lin Ling's character is a little reluctant to be lively, because Lin Ling grew up in Acacia since he was a child, and Acacia is not a wealthy place, and the resident population is not even as large as a county under the jurisdiction of the Division.
No matter what Lin Ling thinks, in terms of Yang Zhen's personality alone, he is indeed very competent, and at this moment, Yang Zhen can obviously feel that Lin Ling is in a low mood, so he asked:
"Childe, what's wrong with you? I didn't see you smiling all the way, is it because Guo Quangongzi's previous approach was sick, and he couldn't let go of the mustard in his heart? ”
Lin Ling, who was still immersed in memories, was immediately compelled to come back to his senses when Yang Zhen said this, but in the face of Yang Zhen's questioning, Lin Ling also felt very funny, but Yang Zhen's intentions, Lin Ling could still see it.
However, when Yang Zhen said this, Lin Ling was also interested for a while, anyway, he would be aimless if he went on like this, so he might as well test Yang Zhen's insight.
I saw Lin Ling suddenly stop, looked at Yang Zhen with raised eyebrows, and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Gongwei, just judge what you have seen in the past few days, what do you think of the relationship between me and Pinzhi?" ”
Yang Zhen, who was looking at Lin Ling with a worried face, suddenly heard Lin Ling ask, and didn't understand what Lin Ling meant for a while, but he still said very honestly:
"I don't know what your relationship was before, but judging from the relationship between the past few days, the relationship between Gongzi and Guo Quan's Gongzi should be in a state of nothing to talk about."
"Because when Guo Gongzi went to the store before, he actually went to the guy in the store, and if ordinary people were to do it themselves, then it would be enough to rent a small house, but I didn't expect Guo Gongzi to rent two people, and one of them was rented for you."
In fact, Yang Zhen has a deeper meaning that has not been said, that is, at the same time as renting the two, Guo Quan has already carried Lin Ling on his back and told Yang Zhen all the details that need to be paid attention to in daily life, in order to let Yang Zhen take care of Lin Ling's daily chores.
However, before that, Yang Zhen had made three chapters with Guo Quan, and the most important one was that Lin Ling must not know about this matter, so Yang Zhen did not tell Lin Ling about this matter thoroughly, but only briefly explained his origin.
"Oh? It seems that your insight is fine, but if you say a little less, we will not only talk about everything, but most importantly, we can trust each other under any conditions. ”
After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Lin Ling made a simple addition, but at this time, Lin Ling had not yet noticed that Guo Quan's recent changes in the world.
Although the result was not perfect after today's trip to Xingshan, out of unconditional trust in Guo Quan, Lin Ling still did not think deeply.
But some words really can't be held in the stomach, just like this time, Lin Ling was still a little depressed in his heart, but after communicating with Yang Zhen, Lin Ling obviously had a slight change in his mood.
