One of the shorter sons was overjoyed and said, "We are about to charter a boat to go to sea, how much silver do we need to go to the neighboring Qianling Island?" ”

The sturdy and swarthy boss grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Hehe, listening to this son's accent, it seems that he is not from Lianzhou." The price of the chartered ship was higher, and it cost thirty taels of silver. ”

At this time, the owner of a black thin boat in the distance shouted: "Three sons and brothers, are you going to Qianling Island, my boat is just on the way, as long as I accept you fifteen taels of silver!" ”

The sturdy boat owner who greeted me first scolded: "Okay, you thin ghost, you just robbed me of a business, but you came to rob my business again, are you looking for a fight?" ”

The owner of the ship surnamed Le said with a smile: "This can only be blamed on Brother Meng's silver being too high and scaring the guests away, but it's no wonder that the younger brother is not to blame." Besides, my boat is just on the way, so let's just take them with me, and Brother Meng should find another guest to make a fortune. ”

The little boy who asked earlier was full of smiles and said happily: "Then let's go take that cheap downwind boat!" ”

"Idiot!"

Faintly, the other two sons frowned, not knowing who seemed to be scolding them, and hurriedly walked forward and whispered a few words.

The skinny boat owner urged: "Hey, do you three sons and brothers still want to take a hitchhiker?" The silver price discount couldn't be lower. ”

The shorter boy frowned, and suddenly the taller boy pointed to a nearby boat. The little boy looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the ship was only four feet long and about two feet wide, which seemed relatively small among the large ships.

The owner of the boat leaned under the two masts in the middle of the boat, and a pair of thin and sturdy black hands were holding a light red wooden box and eating a boxed lunch, looking at the sea in the distance leisurely.

The little boy became interested, discussed with the two sons for a while, and walked across the dock towards the boat.

Jumping onto the board, the little boy danced and shook and almost fell to the surface, provoking the laughter of the sailors watching from the sidelines.

The short boy stood on the boat, and as soon as he hugged his fists, the owner of the boat said coldly: "Five taels!" ”

The short boy was stunned and asked in disbelief: "You mean to charter your boat to Qianling Island, only five taels of silver?" ”

The indifferent boat owner said: "Pay for the food separately, and the charter fee is five taels!" ”

The little boy still couldn't believe it, and said, "Really? ”

The shipowner didn't even bother to pay attention to him this time, and lowered his head to pick up the little left, not a trace of hot food.

The little boy was overjoyed and beckoned to the two companions who had stopped where they were. The other two sons immediately walked over to this side, and their movements were much lighter than those of this short boy, especially when they jumped on the hull of the boat, and they didn't shake at all.

The owner of the boat finished the meal and said coldly: "The three of you want to charter a boat, please pay the silver first!" ”

The short boy immediately grabbed a piece of snow silver and came out, no more, no less, exactly five taels. The shipowner took the silver, and said with a slightly soothing face: "From here to Qianling Island, it will take a day and a night, do you plan to eat the crude meals made by this ship, or prepare another dry food?" ”

Another son, who was also short, asked in a shrill voice, "What good dishes can the shipowner cook?" ”

"It's all fish and shrimp caught in the sea, and nothing else!"

The boy frowned and said, "There are only fish and shrimp, will it be too boring to eat?" Brother Gu, can you hurry up and get some delicious pickles? ”

The boy who had rented the boat to ask him nodded his head, carefully stepped on the board of the boat and walked towards the pier, trotting towards the city.

When passing by the boat owner who was the first to talk to him, he only heard him looking at the boat owner who took the business angrily, and muttered and cursed: "Which turtle egg just broke Lao Tzu's good thing!" ”

The little boy smiled and continued walking towards the city. At the hour of half a pillar of incense, he was followed by a small cart, which contained several bottles of sweet wine, cooked beef, roast duck and so on. Without the help of this boy, the shopkeeper with the cart carried all the things onto the boat, so as not to be overturned into the sea by the short boy.

The sturdy boss and the thin boss looked at the wine and food, and Boss Meng scolded angrily: "Fishtail eye, the wine and food that this short boy just ordered happened to be at the price of ten taels of silver, he is angry with us!" ”

Boss Le nodded and said, "I don't know which damn turtle egg just reminded them out loud, or these three stupid boys from other places will definitely be fooled!" ”

"Wow! It turns out that you two profiteers deceived Lao Tzu, hurry up and return the silver, Lao Tzu will not take your boat! ”

A loud shout sounded, the hull of the ship shook, and Boss Le's ten-zhang long boat shook for a while, almost throwing Boss Le, who was standing at the bow of the boat, into the sea.

Boss Le hurriedly twisted his body, stood still dangerously, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, we didn't force you, you want to charter a boat, how can you cancel the subscription?" ”

A nine-foot-tall man walked out of the cabin, and a pair of copper bells glared at Boss Le and shouted: "You still don't pay it back, otherwise our family will dismantle your ship!" ”

"This ......"

"Bang!"

Dahan stomped his foot directly down, stepping out of a hole in the plank.

"The good man is angry, this is given!"

Boss Le hurriedly grabbed the silver that had not yet been covered and handed it back, and looked at the hole that was stepped out by the strong man with a painful heart, and saw that the repair cost could not be recovered. I knew that it was better to send this guest to the sea directly, why bother to be greedy for more than a dozen taels of silver, now it is not a counter-erosion of rice to steal chickens!

"Hey, you wait for me, I'll go to the diving island too!"

The nine-foot man took the silver and strode to the boat where the three sons were before, but the boat had already drawn its sails. The boat had already been chartered, and the owner didn't bother to turn around and deal with the rude man.

The nine-foot man pointed to the boat that set sail and scolded: "Drink, don't let Lao Tzu sit yet, Lao Tzu still wants to sit!" ”

The nine-foot man grabbed the board of a boat next to him with both hands, threw it lightly into the seawater, threw it a few zhang, and then jumped into it, like a tiger in a stream, jumped directly onto the board of the boat, and then jumped with his legs.

"Bang!"

The nine-foot man jumped heavily on the small boat that had already driven dozens of feet, and shook the boat more than once. As soon as he stepped on the plank, it broke through the waves like an arrow and returned to the previous ship.

"Good skills!"

Looking at this scene, the owner of the ship, who wanted to curse but didn't dare to speak out, clapped his hands and cheered loudly.

The short boy who was originally standing on the bow of the boat and watching, was almost thrown out of the boat directly without being shaken violently, but fortunately, the two sons next to him grabbed him to death, so that he was spared the disaster.

The nine-foot man crossed his arms around his chest, stood steadily on the rocking boat, and laughed: "Do you want to get rid of our family like this, how can it be so easy?" ”

The owner of the ship sat by the rudder, not afraid of the tall and mighty nine-foot man, and looked at him coldly and said: "This hero, this ship has been contracted by these three sons, do you want to go back and find another ship, or ask for their opinions?" ”

The nine-foot man laughed disapprerovitously, looked at the shortest boy and said, "So is this ancient boy willing to share this boat below?" And this son of Lu Yao, what is your opinion? ”

The shorter boy shook his head and said, "I'm not called Lu Yao, you recognize the wrong person!" ”

The one who got out of the bread boat, who was called Gu Gongzi by the nine-foot man, said with a smile on his face: "We can't ask for this hero to share a boat, so we don't have to worry about those pirates coming to rob us!" ”

The nine-foot man laughed and said, "That's very good, since this son Gu is a temporary guard for our family, why don't you take out this delicious wine and say hello?" ”

Seeing that he had a big waist and round shoulders and a big belly, he was afraid that these foods were not enough for him to eat, Gu Gongzi couldn't help but secretly complain: "This hero, the wine can be made to you, beef slices or something, we have to keep it, I asked the boat owner to make some grilled fish and fish soup, how about it?" ”

The nine-foot man glared at a pair of copper bells: "Do you want to roast it slowly?" I ran out early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet, so we can't wait! ”

As he spoke, he walked in and snatched the barbecue and wine piled up in the cabin, tore open the mud seal, held the wine in one hand, and gobbled up a roast chicken in the other, and in a moment he bit a roast chicken to only half of it.

Gu Gongzi shouted in distress: "Boat boss, hurry up and make some fish!" ”

Out of the aft cabin came a thin, dark-skinned old woman and asked, "How much do you want to roast?" Grilled, steamed or boiled straight? ”

Gu Gongzi urged loudly: "Whichever is faster, do it first, the more the better, it's best to have five or six catties!" ”

"Five or six pounds?"

The old woman, who was picking up a fish from the basket and picking the scales, couldn't help but stop the movement of her hand and asked in dismay.

"Yes, you should do it quickly!"

The owner of the ship at the helm said coldly: "What's so great about being on land, when you get to this sea, as long as you fall into the sea, you won't become a landlubber, and you will be guaranteed to drink your belly white and float on the sea like a dead fish." ”

Gu Gongzi ignored him, and continued to urge the owner of the boat to cook the fish, looking distressed at the chicken skeleton that had been bitten to the point of no meat being thrown into the sea by the man, and a large piece of beef slice was directly swallowed by him into the belly.

The nine-foot man called Lu Yao's son grabbed Gu Gongzi's hand and shook it, and comforted: "Brother Gu, it's okay!" The roast chicken is rather crudely made, and I don't have much appetite for it, so it doesn't matter if he eats it all. You see, how pleasant the beautiful birds on the sea are. ”

"That's the case, I'm afraid that when you can't get used to eating those sea fish, you'll come to complain about me!"

Gu Gongzi was helpless, sighed and looked in the direction that Lu Yao was pointing.

I saw that on the blue water, a long-beaked and short-tailed, blue and white fur, and a funny-looking bird slowly flew on the sea, and suddenly shot towards the sea like a sharp arrow.

"Wow!"

Its figure disappeared directly into the sea, and flew out in a moment, bringing up a white spray. On top of the long pointed beak of the strange bird, there was a small fish a foot long and colorful. But it didn't eat it, and directly clamped the little fish that shook its head and shook its tail, and was dying and struggling, passed through the cloud curtain in the sky, and disappeared into the sight of Gu Gongzi.

Looking at the endless blue ocean in the distance, as well as the loud, strange-looking, and agile birds fishing, Gu Gongzi clapped his hands and praised: "What a beautiful sea, what a strange bird!" ”

I was a little distracted for a while, and I even forgot to look at the wine and meat he had just bought so hard.

The nine-foot man grabbed a roast chicken again, walked out with a jar of wine, and nodded: "It is indeed very beautiful, the magnificent scenery on the sea is different from the beautiful mountains and rivers in the mountains." If you wait until the tide rises and falls, you will feel a different feeling, the angry tide and hurricane, surging, you only need to look at it, and you will never forget it for the rest of your life! ”

The tallest of the three nodded and said, "Yes, such a magnificent beauty, you don't need to get the wind and waves, now that you have seen it, I will never forget it!" ”

Lu Yao said: "Mountain...... Son Shan, this uncle is right, the angry tide and hurricane, the surging scene has a look. That year, the father ...... My father took me from afar on the dock to watch, the white waves were rolling in, like thousands of troops on the battlefield; The angry tide slapped, and the cry was like thunder, deafening; The hurricane is blowing violently, and it hurts to touch the face, that is the real big scene, powerful enough, and magnificent enough! ”

Shan Gongzi asked in surprise, "Is it really that good-looking?" Then I hope that the waves will rise today, and I can see such a magnificent scene sooner! ”

The nine-foot man nodded and said, "Mr. Lu is really quick to think, and he describes it more appropriately than the old man!" ”

Lu Yao snorted three times in a row, stuck out his tongue and said, "Are you going to die!" At this time, we are on the ship, how can we say such things, if some boatmen are afraid that they will just throw you off the boat! Do you think that three-foot high wave will hit us and hit our heads down, and we will still be able to escape? And that terrible hurricane, which can blow a mast straight away and even blow a ship over! ”

The mountain boy shrunk his neck weakly, looked at the shipowner with a cold face and held the rudder, and saw that he was not angry, and secretly said that it was good that he didn't have to be thrown off the boat to feed the fish.

Gu Gongzi took the opportunity to ask, "Is there really such a fierce gale?" I've never seen it yet! ”

The nine-foot man looked at the sea with fascination, and suddenly said strangely: "In fact, just this hurricane, the tornado in the desert is as spectacular as the wind on the sea, the yellow desert desert, the smoke is all over the sky, and it can blow hundreds of catties of alpacas directly into the sky!" ”

The swarthy and thin boat lady brought a pot of grilled fish over: "Childe, the fish you want is roasted, and a few are still being steamed, and it will be ready soon." ”

Gu Gongzi saw that the fish was brightly colored, and it was a variety that he had never seen before, so he was very curious and grabbed one and tasted it carefully. Only then did he take a small bite and frowned: "Well, it seems that some fishy smell has not been removed, and it is a little uncomfortable to eat!" ”

The other two sons and the nine-foot man each grabbed a tail and tasted it, and the third prince frowned and nodded: "It's indeed a little fishy!" ”

Lu Gongzi said strangely: "It's not very good, it tastes hurricane, it's nothing!" ”

The nine-foot man laughed and said: "This is the first time that people from the inland are not used to eating, and I was also fishy at the beginning, but I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, and after eating fish for a few months, I didn't feel it!" ”

Everyone nodded and said, "I see!" ”

At this time, the boat lady came in with a pot of steamed fish.

The nine-foot man suddenly smiled weirdly, snatched the pot of fish directly in front of him, grabbed a few pieces of fish with bones and thorns and swallowed them, and smacked his lips from time to time, spitting and spitting.

Gu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi looked at the fish as white and tender as steamed tofu, and then looked at the fierce eating appearance of the nine-foot man, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Gu Gongzi snatched the basin and said angrily: "I bought the fish with money, and I still don't let me eat it, how can it be reasonable!" ”

The little hand grabbed a piece of fish from the basin and cut it into a boxy piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The third prince's face was overjoyed, and he grabbed a piece of fish meat from the basin and swallowed it in his mouth, and chewed it like a nine-foot man.

Lu Gongzi's face changed greatly, and he reminded: "Be careful, this guy is playing tricks on you, there are fish bones in it!" ”

"Ahh It hurts me to death! ”

"Ouch! My teeth! ”

The two sons screamed miserably, glared at the nine-foot man with hatred, and suddenly became sad, stretched out their hands to pick their mouths, and after a while, they rushed out of the cabin one after another, and vomited into the sea while holding on to the railing, and vomited all the things they had eaten in the morning.
