Chapter 66: The Fishing Village (2)
Phewβ
Wang Xu opened his eyes, "People from Fucheng." β
He affirmed.
"Young Master, what do you say?"
Xiuxiu turned her head and asked uneasily.
Wang Xu smiled, "Tell them directly, we have to deal with the affairs of the family and make way." β
It's okay to say it to this extent, even if he really wants to evacuate Jinbian City, the government soldiers dare to stop him.
Sure enough, in less than a few words, the carriage shook a little, and the carriage left the city gate and headed for the fishing village.
Horse-drawn carriages on the official road outside the city gate are also extremely scarce, and it can be seen that this year's business is likely to plummet.
After a short drive on the main road, the carriage turned into a fork in the road and disappeared into the distance.
"Young master, look ahead, the river is so big, and it's still frozen."
Xiuxiu closed the window a little smaller, buttoned the neckline, pointed to the glacier not far away, and said happily.
After all, she is still young, and she has been bored at home, and it is rare to come out once, and she feels very fresh when she sees everything.
Although Wang Xu knew that there was a glacier here, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
It's obviously much colder here than Jinbian, and the cold wind is whistling, and it seems to be mixed with a little ice crystal.
Gradually, the carriage slowed down, and eventually stopped at the gate of a village.
Wang Xu got out of the car, and when he saw that there was a very small village in front of him, he could see the end at a glance.
There are more than 20 families scattered around, and the houses do not look like the bluestone dwellings of Jinbian City, and they are all strangely shaped igloos.
At this time, a few people were coming out of the house and looking over here.
Wang Xu saw Huang Yuhou from afar, this person's appearance changed greatly, his body was tightly wrapped up and down, and he looked like a big fluffy round ball from afar.
He looked at his feet, and the snow was still very deep, and I was afraid that the snow here would not be able to melt this year.
But fortunately, the air here is very fresh, and if there are no demons, it is really a good place for the cool summer.
Just as he was thinking about it, a shout came from afar, "Young Master Xu! How did you get here? β
Huang Yuhou walked over step by step, followed by two guards, guarding with a wry smile on the side, preventing his patron from accidentally falling to the ground.
Wang Xu waved his hand, signaled, and stopped in place to wait for the other party to come over.
Xiuxiu next to her shrank and looked at the igloo in the distance, very curious, as if she didn't understand why the people here lived in the igloo.
After Huang Yuhou almost fell down a few times, he finally walked up to Wang Xu out of breath, panting heavily, and said intermittently: "Xu, Xu, Xu Gongzi, you, you, why did you suddenly come here." β
He paused for a moment, "Before you come, it would be good to give us some notice in advance, and we can also prepare some food." β
Wang Xu smiled, "I just don't want to trouble you, so I came over directly." β
He pointed to the igloo in the distance and said, "Why doesn't Mr. Huang live here instead of the city?" β
"The city is too far away, it's inconvenient to go back and forth every day, let me not come and see, I don't worry, after all, Xu Gongzi, you trust me so much, you handed over this fishing village to me to take care of, I naturally have to be wholehearted and dare not make any mistakes."
Huang Yuhou arched his hand at Wang Xu, "Besides, it's pretty good to live here, although it's cold, it's much better than outside." β
He paused, leaned over, and asked, "I don't know if Xu Gongzi is here today?" β
Wang Xu's heart moved, speculating that the other party might think that he was here to find fault.
After all, scarcity is precious, and ice crabs are the best in this way, and now the people of the Northland are panicking, and the things and quantities that can be supplied are extremely scarce.
If it works well, this ice crab business is not only a profiteering business, it is likely to be a key item to open up the upper channel, and think about it far-reaching, as long as the interests are not a businessman, none of them will not be excited.
With the shrewdness of Huang Yuhou, he must have suspected that he was going to cross the river and demolish the bridge.
When he thought of this, he said bluntly: "Mr. Huang has done a good job, and the ice crabs produced are all good." The purpose of my visit this time has little to do with ice crabs, but to know if there is anything unusual here in the fishing village recently? β
After listening to this, Huang Yuhou breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but still remained cautious.
He thought for a moment and said, "Abnormal? There's nothing out of the ordinary. β
"Oh."
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic, "I don't know if the Taoist of Hongchen Temple that I heard from Mr. Huang last time is there this time?" β
Hearing this, Huang Yuhou put his heart in his stomach.
He guessed and guessed, and kept thinking about this small fishing village, in addition to ice crabs, what else could allow this Xu Gongzi of the Wang family to come to visit in person.
"It turned out to be for the Nine Heart Dao Chief."
A smile bloomed on Huang Yuhou's face, "Yes, in fact, I sent a letter to the Nine Heart Dao Elder before, inviting him to come over and help, so the Nine Heart Dao Elder has already arrived." β
He pointed to an igloo near the front, "Now I'm resting in that igloo, why don't I introduce Xu Gongzi, presumably the Nine Heart Dao Master also wants to meet Xu Gongzi." I don't know, what does Xu Gongzi think? β
Wang Xu nodded and said with a smile: "That's the best, I also prepared a thin gift for the Taoist chief this time, I originally thought that I would come for nothing, so it was just right, so I bothered Mr. Huang to lead the way." β
Huang Yuhou said a few polite words, and led the way in front.
The closer you get to the igloo, the more you can feel the hardships and wisdom of life.
If it weren't for such difficult conditions, how could such a crystallization of wisdom be born.
When they arrived at the igloo, Wang Xu and his party stopped.
Smack, smack, smack......
Huang Yuhou patted the snowflakes on his boots and shouted loudly, "Brother Nine Hearts! Brother Nine Hearts? β
Wang Xu glanced at Huang Yuhou in surprise, a little surprised that the other party seemed to be a little unruly about this Nine Heart Dao Master, could it be that the relationship between the two people was not ordinary, or that this person deliberately did it for himself.
He guessed in his heart, but his face was silent, and at the same time let Xiuxiu take out a small gift, which was a hardcover snow ginseng, which was not small.
Such a gift will neither become clichΓ© nor appear to look down on the other person, but will be just right.
"Brother Yuhou? What's wrong? β
A hearty male voice first came from the igloo, and then as the footsteps gradually approached, a young Taoist priest wearing a high crown came out.
Jiuxin was stunned as soon as he went out, because it was not only his friend Huang Yuhou standing in front of him, but also a young man with a knife with a face, whose eyes were shining brightly, and his face was handsome and extraordinary, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
