Chapter 296: Finding a Boat and Entering Immortal Island

Early in the morning of the second day, Shao Xi, Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er took the gifts that Xu Maocheng had prepared the day before, took the two carriages of the mission out of Yongchuan City, and went straight to the coast of the South China Sea.

This time he went to Yingyue Island, Shao Xi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and ordered Xu Maocheng to pack two of the few green haze purple cloud yarns he kept privately in a wooden box, and he also prepared a cloud glass bead.

Shao Xi believed that these two gifts were valuable enough to express his sincerity in apologizing.

The carriage traveled all the way south, and sure enough, it only took more than half a day to arrive at the coast of the South China Sea, Shao Xi was originally a northerner, even in the original world, he had never seen the real sea.

At this time, looking at the scenery of the sea and the sky in front of me, and watching the rows of white waves rushing onto the beach, my mood suddenly brightened. The sea that you have seen in books or videos cannot compare to standing on the beach, and the slightly salty and moist air can only be known as the smell of the sea when you feel it yourself.

Shao Xi has been full of yearning for the sea since he was a child, and now standing by the sea, his heart is full of novelty and joy, and he can't imagine that his dream of seeing the sea can be realized in such a world.

After standing on the beach and enjoying the feeling of the sea breeze on his face for a while, Shao Xi suddenly realized that he needed a boat to go to sea, where is there a boat near here?

The coachman who came with him was also the coachman of the mission, and he didn't know anything about the local area, so Shao Xi and Lao Wu began to look around to see if there was anyone in the vicinity, so as to inquire where they could hire ships.

Coincidentally, at this moment, several fishermen came from a distance, all wearing shoulder-bearing gowns, trousers rolled up to their knees, and hats on their heads, each carrying a heavy bundle of fishing nets, walking slowly and laughing.

Shao Xi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and asked politely, "Hello gentlemen!" I had come from out of town and was not familiar with this place, so I wanted to ask a few gentlemen where this place was and where I could hire a boat to cross the sea. Here is a little bit of silver is a little bit of heart, a few should not be too little, and a few gentlemen are invited to accept it. ”

As he spoke, Shao Xi took out a handful of silver coins from his purse and handed it over.

A few fishermen stopped, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly they all laughed loudly, which made Shao Xi a little baffled, I don't know if it was his clothes or his accent that would make them laugh so much, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.

An elderly man among the fishermen saw Shao Xi standing there with a puzzled expression, so he said to Shao Xi with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, this little brother, we laugh just because no one has ever called our group of people Mr. for a while, and it is just a novelty, and there is no intention of ridicule." Besides, you just asked us about some things that we all know, and there is no need to give us money, although we are all people who work hard at sea to make a living, but we never do such things for nothing. ”

Shao Xi suddenly realized, it turned out that it was his own name for them that made them laugh, and these people refused to accept the money given by others in vain, but they were also simple and honest, it seems that the local people are indeed simple, the people are kind and self-reliant.

Hurriedly put away the money, bowed to a few fishermen again, and said apologetically: "It is indeed abrupt, I came from the Central Plains, I just arrived in your place and was not familiar with the place, I was worried that no one inquired, I just happened to meet a few, and I took the liberty of delaying a few for a while, please inform me." ”

A bearded strong man next to him waved his hand and said, "Little brother won't talk to us in a word!" We listened tired and panicked. Don't you just want to know where this is, where you can hire a boat to cross the sea? ”

"Exactly, exactly."

"This is called Cage Bay, our fishermen go to sea to fish and those merchant ships to the sea, if you want to hire a boat, you can see the wharf half a mile ahead, there are a lot of boats, you can hire a boat with no work at the moment to go to sea, the price should not be too high, but if you go to sea for a longer time, it will be difficult to say."

After hearing this, Shao Xi hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and a few fishermen didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so they walked towards the direction of the dock with a smile.

The men got into the carriage again, and the carriage ran in the direction pointed by the fishermen for only a few moments, and in the distance they saw a large number of people, and a number of wooden sailboats docked near the pier made of stones.

Although these boats looked small from a distance, they were all large boats when they came to the front, and the fishermen's small boats were docked farther away, after all, the wharf was for merchant ships, and the fishermen's boats had to dock in those places that were not in the way.

After getting out of the carriage, the first thing Shao Xi did was to turn his head to Lao Wu and ask, "How did you go to Yingyue Island last time?" Why does it feel like you're here for the first time? Didn't you hire a boat here last time you came? ”

Lao Wu looked around blankly, and said to Shao Xi: "Where is there so much trouble for me alone?" I ran to the beach and grabbed a fishing boat casually, stuffed a collar of silver for the fisherman, and asked him to find an inconspicuous place to park the boat on the island of the full moon, and then came back by boat early the next morning, where is it so troublesome as you? I also have to find a boat to go in all directions. ”

Shao Xi nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Well, it should be the case if we go to steal things, but we are going to apologize this time, how can we sneak over again?" Formally, it is also a sign of respect for Lord Wangshu Pavilion to express our sincerity in apologizing, and we should not be troubled by this. ”

Lao Wu stiffened his neck and nodded reluctantly, which seemed to mean "You're right, you're right!" ”

Originally, I thought that the boat was difficult to find, but I didn't want to have several boat owners come to solicit business just by asking a little inquire, but as soon as I heard that it was going to Yingyue Island, several boat owners turned around and left, and they didn't even do business.

This made Shao Xi feel very strange, so he grabbed one of the ship's owners and asked the reason.

"Ship boss, the place where we hired a boat to go to sea is not far away, and there is a lot of money for you, why don't you do my business when you hear that you are going to Yingyue Island? Did I give me the money to bite my hand, or is there a monster on that island that scares you so much that you don't dare to go? Gotta give me a reason! ”

The boss of the boat looked Shao Xi up and down, like an idiot, and said impatiently: "Far away! It's not too far, and if you go there, you'll have to wait a little longer, you just need to add some money, but you're not in the right place! Where are you going, are you going to Full Moon Island? We who walk the boat in Cage Bay know that the full moon island is a fairy island, and the people who live on the island are all fairies, how can mortals like us in the flesh approach this island at will? If you let us take you to Full Moon Island, won't you cause us to offend the gods? Who will do this kind of business? ”

I rub! When did Full Moon Island become an immortal island? According to what they said, wasn't it the immortal book and the treasure weapon that Lao Wu stole from the island back then? Could it be that Muren and Urina are cultivating immortals?

Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu, who pursed his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.

"What do you want me to do? The last time I said I was going to Full Moon Island, the fisherman said the same thing, otherwise you think I was just going the first day, and I would return the next day, why would you stuff him with a penny? This is still easy to say, coercion and temptation, and I and the fisherman are secretly talking about this matter, you are so blatantly open about your whereabouts, who dares to let you take a boat? ”

"Holy! Then you didn't tell me earlier! Now what? Where to find a boat? ”

"You didn't ask me! How do I know you're going to ask people with such fanfare how much money they need to go to Full Moon Island? What else can I do now? No one is willing to take us to these big boats, so let's find a way to find a fishing boat! Maybe some fishermen who have just harvested their boats have a bad harvest and will consider taking us there. ”

Shao Xi is a lawsuit at this time, I really can't understand how this Yingyue Island became a fairy island?

Although Yingyue Island is quite mysterious in the martial arts, everyone also knows that the island is full of female disciples of Wangshu Pavilion, and no matter how high the martial arts are, they will not be regarded as a group of fairies, right?

Why do you think this thing is so outrageous?

Lao Wu seemed to see Shao Xi's thoughts, so he didn't have a match on the side, and said as if talking to himself: "Don't forget that Shen Linyue was known as the 'Water Moon Fairy' back then, and those who can be called fairies are naturally immortals in the eyes of ordinary people. At the beginning, the reason why Wangshu Pavilion was chosen to be on Yingyue Island was that it didn't want to be disturbed by the world, so it was not allowed to approach passing ships on weekdays, and it was easy to prevent strangers from landing on the island, which became more and more mysterious over time. The fishermen and maritime merchants along the coast originally relied on the sea for food, so they naturally had to be superstitious, and it was not surprising to regard it as a fairy island, and it was not surprising that the female disciples of Wangshu Pavilion on the island were fairies, but it was not an exaggeration to say that those female disciples were really as beautiful as fairies. ”

Shao Xi squinted his eyes and glared at Lao Wu with a bad look.

"Old pervert!"

"Who?"

"Say you!"

"Why?"

"You're an old pervert!"

Lao Wu was in a hurry at that time, and shouted to Shao Xi by pulling his neck: "Why do you say that I am an old pervert?" When have you ever seen me sexually sexual? It's that you mess with flowers and grass all day long, provoke this girl, and then provoke that girl, making people sad all day long. ”

This voice attracted the attention of many people around him, and many people looked back at what the old man and the young were arguing about while walking, and it seemed that they had heard the word "color criticism".

Shao Xi went up and covered Lao Wu's mouth, lowered his voice and said, "Old guy, is there something wrong with you?" When did I provoke the girl? Who am I messing with? ”

Lao Wu shook his head, broke his mouth out of Shao Xi's hand, and counted Shao Xi with his fingers.

"Wu Rina, Ye Ziyuan, Mei Ruoyan, and that yarn girl from Yujiang County, don't think I can't see what's going on with you."

"Alright, shut up!"
