Liaozhai, Fengyang County, in a small street and alley with no people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A flash of light flashed, and a figure appeared in the alley.

Looking at the familiar scene around him, Xu Meng nodded slightly, and walked towards the outside of the city, leaving not much time for himself, if he stayed in the Li Mansion, he was afraid that his progress would be slow, but now the points are quite abundant, and he has a little bit of self-preservation, and it is time to go out and travel.

Changing into a plain white scholar's robe, he walked towards the city gate, walked through the bustling streets, and passed through several bustling neighborhoods, admiring this charming scene along the way.

Although he had gone out of the Li Mansion to see the neighborhood before, but it was only limited to one place, but now when he walked around, he knew that Fengyang County was prosperous, there were walking vendors everywhere, there were many scholars and scholars on the street, and occasionally one or two fair women dressed in silk and satin could be seen wandering the streets.

Xu Meng walked all the way, and as soon as he walked out of the city gate and walked on the official road, he saw a group of cars coming towards him, and the servants who were in a hurry recognized him, and the style of the carriage seemed to be from the Li Mansion.

Is this carriage Yuxi's? Xu Meng saw a small Xi character engraved on it, but he didn't expect to meet Li Yuxi just after he left the city, and smiled bitterly, it seems that he and Li Fu are really fateful.

Thinking of this, I was slightly stunned, doesn't fate represent cause and effect? Xu Hao is Li Wanting's fiancé, and Xu Hao's obsession is also to marry Li Wanting, so Xu Hao and Li Fu have a causal entanglement.

It seems that I still underestimate the entanglement between this obsession and cause and effect.

Xu Meng's eyes flashed, his feet turned, and he walked towards the path outside the official road, after all, he had been away from the Li Mansion for more than ten days, but he was still in Fengyang County, and it was not easy to explain when he encountered it.

Although it was not very troublesome, I still felt a little embarrassed when asked, so I simply took the path to avoid it.

......

The Mingong River is more than ten miles wide, it is one of the most important waterways in the Great Song Dynasty, a large number of goods are transported, so that the border city is very prosperous, Fengyang County is one of them.

In addition to being an important transportation route, the Mingong River is also very rich in various aquatic products, so some villages near the Mingong River rely on the aquatic products in the Mingong River to live, which also leads to a lot of fishing boats on the Mingong River.

Xu Meng stands beside the Mingong River, a small wharf, mostly built by small villages to dock small passenger boats and fishing boats.

At this moment, there were also a few fishing boats and a few passenger boats by the dock, Xu Meng stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask all the boatmen, I want to go to Jinling, are you willing to give me a ride?" ”

Seeing Xu Meng's dress and bearing, the eyes of several boatmen on the dock lit up, and as soon as Xu Meng's voice fell, several boatmen shouted, "This nobleman, I am willing." ”

Xu Meng made a selection, and chose a boat that looked clean and sturdy, the boat was much larger than ordinary light boats and fishing boats, and the boatman was an old man with gray hair, who looked quite old.

"Naturally, there will be a laborer." Xu Meng smiled, he wanted to go out for a trip, but he didn't know where to go, so he wanted to walk around.

"Don't bother, don't bother." The boatman waved his hand again and again, looking a little flustered, thinking that it was the first time he had met such a talkative nobleman.

Xu Meng got on the boat and found that although the other party said it was a fishing boat, it was very clean and tidy inside, and it didn't even smell too much fishy.

"What do you think of my ship?" Seeing Xu Meng's expression and not showing any disgust, the boatman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boatman, your fishing boat is very clean, it doesn't look like a fishing boat." Xu Meng asked.

"The nobles don't know, although we are fishing boats, there are also many people who want to cross the river or take a boat, and they will also do some passenger boat business, so most of them will clean up more." The boatman explained, and at the same time untied the rope tied to the dock and prepared to set sail.

Xu Meng nodded and sat in the cabin, "Boatman, you can go." ”

"Hey, okay!"

The boatman agreed, stood at the stern, and rowed away.

The two slurries gently slapped the surface of the water, and the hull of the boat floated lightly a few feet away, and it could be seen that the boatman's driving skills were very high.

After driving all the way, the pier in the distance has long been reduced to the horizon and is out of sight.

"Noble, it's not me who blows, if it's other boatmen, don't dare to send you to Jinling, after all, the Mingong River is more than ten miles wide, and there are often wind and waves, and the boat will be overturned by the waves if you are not careful." The boatman, rowing the boat over and over again, said to Xu Meng with a smile.

Xu Meng was noncommittal, nodded lightly, and asked, "Boat family, how long will it take to get to Jinling?" ”

"It is estimated that in two or three days, Jinling is not close to Fengyang County." The boatman pondered for a moment and returned to the road.

"Nobleman, what are you doing in Jinling?" It seemed like they had started talking, the boatman asked.

"Feel free to wander around, travel, and grow your horizons." Xu Meng replied casually, then thought of the boatman's words, and asked, "You said that there are often wind and waves on the Mingong River, I don't think it looks like it will be wind and waves." ”

The Mingong River in front of him is not to mention its wind and waves, but there are not even some big ripples, but it is true that there are only some big boats on the river, such as the small boat that Xu Meng is sitting on.

"This Xianggong, you don't know anything, this Min Gongjiang was indeed calm before, and our small boats can also travel far away, but I don't know why four or five years ago suddenly became like this, there will be wind and waves at any time, there is no sign at all, only big boats dare to walk."

"There are rumors that this is the dragon lord under the Min Gong River who is unhappy, so he has a momentum." When the boat family said about the Dragon King, a trace of awe flashed on his face.

Dragon King? Xu Meng's eyes flashed, in the chat, the dragon lord is very likely to exist, but listening to this style is more likely to be some water demons.

"Do you know why?" Xu Meng asked.

"Hey, how can these fairy things be known to me, a small people, let's not talk too much about the Dragon King, otherwise his old man will know that there was once a boatman who was talking nonsense, and he was swept away by the wind and waves that day." The boatman said this, his face palpitated, and then he kept silent and did not talk about it.

Seeing that the boatman didn't want to say more, Xu Meng didn't ask anymore, just looked at the surrounding scenery.

Soon it was noon, and the boatman asked, "This nobleman, it's already noon, you wait a minute, I'll go cook for you first." ”

"Can you cook on a boat?" Xu Meng looked at the wooden boat under his feet and said strangely.

"You can also cook on the boat, but it's just a little more troublesome, you have to paste a thick layer of mud on the place where the stove is made on the boat and put a metal plate on it, so most of them carry dry food, but I'm alone, and this boat is my home, so I have this kind of thing."

Xu Meng nodded, in fact, at his level, he has a lot less appetite, and it is okay not to eat for ten days or eight days, but Xu Meng does not like to be hungry.

The boatman lowered the anchor to fix the position, which would not be easily blown away by the wind and waves, and then went to the stern, where there were some cooking guys.

Just as the boatman was going to cook, suddenly some wind rose on the river.

At first, it was just a small wind, but gradually the wind began to get stronger, blowing the river into a circle of ripples, and as time passed, the wind and waves on the river became stronger and stronger, and the boats were a little undulating on the river.

Xu Meng's eyes flashed, and he walked out of the cabin, looking at the river surface that had already covered a thin layer of waves, and had some thoughts in his heart.

It was calm just now, but suddenly there was a storm and waves, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and this gust of wind was definitely not normal.

Could it be that there is something down there?
