Chapter Seventy-Seven: Xinchuan (1st Update)

After bidding farewell to the people on the shore, the big boat slowly started in people's sight.

The children lay on the side of the boat, their eyes shining at the people below, and even the helmsman adjusting the angle of the sails caused a commotion.

Zhao Xiaowan was also looking at those sails, just looking at it, she couldn't help but think of the interstellar ship she was riding before the crossing, that was the real shock!

It's a pity that I won't be able to see each other again in this life.

Zhao Xiaowan was thinking nonsense, and the big ship had already sailed away from the shore.

On the deck, several men dressed as soldiers came into the crowd surrounded by a servant.

Zhao Xiaowan recognized that the official was Gao Hui, who almost fought with her that day, but it seemed that Gao Hui didn't see her in the crowd.

"What a noise! It's all quiet! Gao Hinoki stood on a high place, his hand on the big knife at his waist, and glanced around with a straight face.

Almost at the same time, the crowd fell silent instantly.

Gao Hui was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, cleared his throat, and then said loudly, "Next, everyone will stay in the cabin area divided by themselves, and wait until the afternoon, this ship will stop at the Linzhou County Wharf for a short time, and if you need supplies, you can get off the ship and buy it by yourself, but you still need to verify the ticket when you get on the ship!" ”

After that, this did not give everyone time to react, and the people drove the adults and children on the deck into the cabin.

Hundreds of people were crammed into the first-floor cabin, and the space was as narrow as you could imagine.

Zhao Xiaopang felt that this was not at all the same as he imagined, and at this moment, looking at this narrow place where it was difficult to even turn around, his expression was sad.

The other children weren't much better.

But they still remembered what the official said, they would be able to arrive at Linzhou in the afternoon, and they quickly became excited again.

"Are you going to disembark in the afternoon?"

"Of course! I've never been this far since I've grown up! ”

The little ones chattered again.

It's just that this is the only way to have spirit, and after the big ship has been driving for a while, the almost confined space that sways endlessly will soon make them unable to keep up their spirits.

I didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone really arrived at Linzhou, and I had to continue to wander all afternoon.

Zhao Xiaowan was well adapted to this, and when he saw that they were all scared, he simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate immortals.

I don't know if it's the reason why I'm above the water, but when I cultivate immortals at this moment, I can clearly feel that the water spiritual power in the air has increased.

By the time Zhao Xiaowan worked hard to absorb and refine that group of black spiritual energy into spiritual power, it was already night.

Because of the abundant spiritual power of the water, the originally hot body instantly seemed to have been washed, and the whole person stretched a lot.

Zhao Xiaowan opened her eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and met her third brother's gaze.

Zhao Shou glanced at Zhao Xiaowan, and Zhao Xiaowan immediately got up and followed him out of the cabin.

As soon as he got out of the cabin, a cool river breeze blew in his face, and Zhao Xiaowan realized that the smell in the cabin was a little unpleasant.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Shou's face was a little ugly, he pulled her to a corner where no one was around, and said, "In the afternoon, I didn't bother you when I saw that you were busy cultivating, and I just got out of the deck with a few children who were going to get off the boat to stroll, and I saw a mess on the dock of Linzhou County. Not to mention the supplies, it's difficult to get off the ship......"

Zhao Xiaowan didn't know what was going on, and he didn't realize anything at the moment.

Zhao Shou sighed and told him what he heard and saw on the boat in the afternoon.

Because of the news that Xianzong had accepted apprentices, the docks of Linzhou County were crowded with people who wanted to take their children to Xinchuan.

A ticket to Shinkawa was offered at a sky-high price.

Originally, the man had already paid, but who knew that the vendor took the money and repented and wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price.

As a result, the parent with the child was annoyed, and the two pushed and shoved.

As soon as the push was launched, the two fought, and many people around were dissatisfied with the behavior of the vendors, and the two-person brawl quickly turned into a chaotic battle.

There was chaos on the docks, and there was cursing, and there were children's cries, and women's screams.

It went on for a long time, until someone from the government came and cut two people in the street, which stopped the farce.

But there's more to it than that.

It turned out that in that fight, the merchant called the thugs of the boat company, how could the thugs keep their hands, and directly killed the culprit alive and injured several people.

And the number of casualties in this battle was far more than that.

There were also some innocent passers-by who were involved, and one was even squeezed to death.

Zhao Xiaowan's eyes widened and widened, but she heard her brother say, "This is not over yet." ”

These were all casualties due to the brawl, and there was a group of traffickers fishing in troubled waters on the dock, and many children were taken away indiscriminately.

Until the Bai family's merchant ship left Linzhou Wharf, this farce did not stop.

"How so?!" Zhao Xiaowan was filled with indignation, she never expected that in the morning, she thought that the scene staged at the eighteen-mile shop pier was dangerous enough, but she didn't expect that in the outside world, something more dangerous and bizarre would be staged.

Zhao Shou wasn't worried about this, he began to make the boundaries outside of Linzhou County even more chaotic.

I don't know what happened to Xinchuan who kept the news to death?

Shinkawa?

Shinkawa Castle is doing well now.

Ever since he learned about the acceptance of disciples by the Immortal Sect from the mouth of the Song Zhou Mu Da, the nobles of various families began to mobilize.

He informed the branches of the various houses and counties in advance and asked them to take their school-age children to Xinchuan to wait for the Immortal Sect to accept the apprentices.

Up to now, not only are the houses full, but even the inns in the city are overcrowded, and some people even live in the suburbs.

Those little clans with a keen sense of smell also smelled the smell and brought their children to Fucheng, and now they just need to wait for the arrival of the first day of the eighth month.

Only the common people are unaware of it, and they are still busy with life.

The Baijia merchant ship traveled on the water for three days, and finally arrived at Xinchuan on the last day of July.

The scale of the wharf in Xinchuan is much larger than that of Eighteen Mile Shop, which is as big as ten.

But even so, at this time, there are still many ships waiting on the dock that want to moor.

Zhao Xiaowan: They arrived in the morning, and it wasn't their turn to dock until the evening.

By the time they disembarked in the night, they had not bathed for four days, and the people who were still huddled in the same cabin were stinking.

"Let's go to Fucheng and find an inn to wash up......," Zhao Xiaowan said.

When they came, all the mule carts, horse-drawn carts and other carts were left at the eighteen-mile pu wharf, and a few fellow villagers rushed back.

Standing on the dock at the moment, I can only search for the car dealership.

Because there were often merchant ships carrying goods at the Shinkawa Wharf, a car shop was built on both sides of the street.

Zhao Shou took Liu Tieniu, and the two of them took a bag of money to the car dealer to hire three ox carts, but they were shocked by the price given by the car dealership.

"How much?"

"A hundred wen per mile."

The little two in the car shop lazily said.

Liu Tieniu couldn't believe that in their place, it was only three or five cents per person from the county seat to Shili Village.

Forget it by the calculation here, the price is still so high!

He secretly asked Zhao Shou, "How far is the dock from Fucheng?" Why don't we walk over there......"

Zhao Shou also wanted to walk over, but it was a full one or twenty miles away from Xinchuan Mansion City!

He could definitely walk all night, but what about the kids in the village?

"Rent!" Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a tael of silver.

"Are you crazy?!" Liu Tieniu grabbed Zhao Shou's arm and exclaimed.

"Not crazy!" Zhao Shou handed the silver to the shopkeeper, "Trouble the shopkeeper to rent a larger ox cart for us, there are many of us, this is a deposit." ”

When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he immediately laughed, weighed it, and instructed Xiao Erdao on the side, "You go and choose a spacious ox cart for them." ”

said, and said to Zhao Shou, "The guest officer chose our car dealership correctly, we have the kind of large flatbed truck that specializes in transporting goods to people, and after a while, we will ask the two guest officers to look at it!" ”

Liu Tieniu's heart was dripping blood, but he still forced a smile and said, "Okay, we must take a closer look at ......"

Let's see if this ox cart is trimmed with gold! Otherwise, how can it be so expensive?

Hire another one and they'll be able to buy a cow on the spot!

The shopkeeper pretended not to see the slander he almost wrote on his face, but said with a smile, "Please ask the two guest officers to come and register the guide, and you can set off after the registration." ”

When Zhao Xiaowan finally waited for her brother to come out, she saw Liu Tieniu with a black face behind her brother.

"Brother, what's wrong, but I didn't hire a car?" Zhao Xiaowan was about to comfort a few words, but he heard Liu Tieniu grit his teeth and speak.

"Hired!"

"Since you have been hired, why does Brother Tie Niu have this expression?"

"You'll find out in a moment!"

With that, he turned his head away with a cold snort.

Zhao Xiaowan: Who provoked him again?

She looked at her brother, who shook his head at her.

At this moment, at the door of the backyard of the car dealership, an old man walked out with a thin old ox, followed by a huge flatbed truck.

Zhao Xiaowan: "??? ”

Just when she was full of questions, the old man got into the ox cart and waved his whip at the old cow, and the old ox "mooed" and staggered towards them.

"Is this your hired car?" Zhao Xiaowan was shocked.

This time it was Zhao Shou's turn to have a black face, and he didn't look at her anymore, "Ask Liu Tieniu!" ”

When they saw this cow at that time, they were in the same mood as Zhao Xiaowan.

At that time, Zhao Shou questioned the shopkeeper, but after the shopkeeper received the money, it was a different face.

I saw him spread his hands scoundrelly, "That's another price......

It means that they only deserve this grade of car with this little silver.

Where could Zhao Shou stand this kind of grievance, he wanted to add silver at that time and let him change to a young and strong cow, but he was stopped by Liu Tieniu on the side.

"You're crazy! We've already spent a tael of silver for this broken car! "When I get to the county seat, I have to pay the final payment!

"Do you want to make this kind of car for the kids?!" Zhao Shou asked rhetorically.

Liu Tieniu, "You don't look at how many of us there are, we can't sit in a car, and we still have to hurry!" When the time comes, whoever is tired of walking, will go up and rest again. ”

In this way, the two were deadlocked.

Zhao Shou also knew that Liu Tieniu was right, but the money was spent, so he couldn't spend it on this cow that might be older than him.

In the end, the shopkeeper came forward to persuade him.

"Don't look at me, this old cow, but it is very stable, and it will be able to send you to Fucheng in three or five hours......"
