Chapter 61: No Waves on the River (1)

Fairy Town, Fairy River, are all named after Fairy Gorge.

The Fairy River is not much wider than the river, the river is calm, and the ships sail as smoothly as if they were walking on the ground. In good seasons, people in the city of Luozhou often charter a painting boat to tour the river, and enjoy the autumn and winter in spring. Going upstream, look at the green mountains and peaks, white clouds and birds. Downstream, see the idyllic scenery and wild flowers and trees. In folklore, many talented and beautiful people met and achieved a good story. I heard that this is the blessing of a good fairy.

Boat and water are Mo Zi's favorite combination. Although she has only walked through the river twice so far, when she sailed on the order of Qiu Sanniang for the first time, standing on the river waves, like a pair of wings riding the wind behind her, that kind of free mood made her suddenly enlightened.

"Brother Mo, Lao Guan is here." Cen Er reminded Mo Zi.

Mo Zi fixed his eyes and smiled at him, isn't it the short and thin old man Guan with gray hairpins and silver white hairpins and a dark and wrinkled face?

With a hearty smile in return, Mo Zi stepped forward and hugged his fists to greet him, "Lao Guan, I want you to take care of it again this time." ”

"Where, Brother Mo, when you say that, you still hold a grudge. Guan Gong played a big knife in front of him, I didn't lose badly enough? As I said earlier, as long as you are on the ship, there will be no second leader. "Lao Guan, a single name is a Jiang character. Born on a boat, grown in the water, nicknamed loach.

Guan Jiang, who is 50 out of 50 this year, has never made a living from anything other than water, and he has been holding an oar in his hand for 53 years. Half a year ago, he was only himself and confident that no one was more familiar with the water than he was. But after shipping with Mo Zi once, he knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world, and this was not something that the ancients made up casually.

"Lao Guan, this makes me ashamed, right? If you don't have your experience and skills to bring a few of us, I will talk on paper, and I will probably wait to sink. Mo Zi does not exaggerate her own merits.

Guan Jiang snorted twice, "Bad luck, bad luck." "Put your hands together and bow to the river," Grandpa Long is not strange, young and ignorant, and talking nonsense. Please make sure we have no trouble all the way. ”

Of course, Mo Zi didn't believe this, but she didn't show her maverick, but also worshipped. This is called fixing the hearts of others. You must know that people's instability really affects the overall situation.

"Where's our ship?" Suddenly, a smiling head appeared from Cen Er's shoulder, and his triangular eyes narrowed. It was one of three coachmen, nicknamed Stinky Fish.

In addition, the fat coachman who was rolling up his sleeves to unload the car, nicknamed Fat Shrimp. A thin man with a blank face who smokes a pipe under the canopy of a car, nicknamed the Water Snake.

Mo Zi transported not only the wine out of the city, but also the three coachmen. Just from the nickname, you can tell that it is also a person with excellent water nature. And, although they don't look alike, they're brothers. According to Lao Guan, the three brothers had been fishing for a living, but later their hometown suffered an accident and they had to leave their hometown. Later, when he met Lao Guan, he took out a boat for him and took some casual work to make a living. Lao Guan introduced people to Mo Zi, and she saw that the three of them had worked hard underwater, and their character was not bad, so she was naturally willing to use them. In order to hide people's eyes, the three of them usually do chores in the back garden of Wangqiu Tower. Therefore, the coachman is a part-time job, and the boatman is the main business.

"Isn't it right in front of you? The eyes are so wide open. Lao Guan tilted his thumb behind him.

A six-by-ten-meter-long, three-masted Upong cargo ship was sitting quietly on the dock.

"Changed again?" Stinky fish talked the most, "Last time it was red paint, this time it was no paint." And what was splashed on the canvas, deep and shallow? ”

"Last time it was red paint, this time the red paint is off. Stinky fish, your eyes are really sharp enough, and you can see the depth before the sail is pulled? "Lao Guan thinks the stinky fish is nonsense.

"Not really. My eyes, touch the black into the water, and catch the squid for you. "The stinky fish shows off their skills.

"Alright, you." Lao Guan didn't talk nonsense with him, "Hurry up and load the goods on the ship, before the sun sets, take advantage of the low tide to walk for a while." ”

After speaking, Lao Guan said to Mo Zi, "Brother Mo, I have already changed the places you told me to change last time, you can also take a look and see if the changes are correct." ”

Mo Zi nodded. Quickly got on the sampan, landed on the deck, entered the cabin, pulled up a plank in the corner, and walked down the ladder. There was a lamp prepared by the staircase, and he took out the fire fold and lit it, and as he looked at it, he thought, if those people couldn't catch up, don't blame her for staining their silver.

At this moment, the entrance of Fairy Town rode into a few fast horses, and the horses were like the wind and the people were like arrows. The person at the head is that Erlang. Zhong'an Shi Lei followed closely. The three in the back, the blue and gray robes are tied to the waist, the calves are tied tightly, and the Buyun boots are kicked, the eyes are blazing, and they look very capable.

Suddenly, Erlang dismounted his horse's head and raised his front hooves high, and stopped in front of a tea shop.

A young man greeted people with a smile, "Guest officer, have a cup of tea and rest?" ”

Erlang didn't get off the horse, he descended from a high altitude and looked down at the guy, "Excuse me, which direction is the wild boat ferry going?" ”

"Five miles to the east." After the guy finished speaking, he saw a flash of silver light in the air, and hurriedly reached out to hold it, it was a piece of broken silver, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his head poured garlic, "Thank you, guest, thank you, ......thank you."

However, only the neighing of horses answered him, and six men and six horses were already gone, leaving only a trail of dust.

"Two hundred taels of silver, don't give it to a liar." Shi Lei caught up with him and walked side by side with Erlang, "I look at that thief's eyebrows, his eyes are swaying left and right, it's really not credible." ”

"If you can't believe it, you have to believe it." Zhong An also rode up, "Let's call the sick and rush to the doctor, it depends on luck." And I look at the clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes of that Mo brother, and the appearance of choosing to drink a toast at the end, there should indeed be a way. It's best for him to go with us, and he has a fun company on the road. ”

Shi Lei whistled, "Fun companion? Flim-tongued smuggled stinky boy, I don't sound like I have a word of sincerity. If you hadn't promised him not to report to the official, as soon as the matter was over, I would have brought someone to arrest him, as well as his owner. ”

"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase." Erlang Jun's face sank slightly, "A little smuggler, don't bother with it. What matters is what's in front of you. ”

Shi Lei dared to glare at Zhong An, but he was not angry at Erlang, and shrugged, "Damn, cheap kid." ”

Five miles, with six good horses, a moment of effort. Erlang's eyesight is good, and when he sees the towering stone pillar, the three characters of Yezhoudu are vigorous and upright.

"I didn't expect to see such good words on a ferry sign." Zhong An was partial to the text and praised his penmanship.

Shi Lei looked around, and saw that there were dozens of boats on the ferry, of different sizes, and scratched his head and said annoyingly, "There are so many boats, which one is?" ”

"Stupid stone, didn't you say it's called Yongfu?" Zhong An raised his eyes and saw the names one by one.

"Yongfu? What is the name of the smuggler? Shi Lei muttered.

Jiro didn't speak, he was looking for people, not names. Soon, he found it.

In that vast sky, an old green coat and a gray scarf jumped into his eyes easily.
