The valley was blocked by a mountain-like wall, and behind the wall was such a large lake, and the difference between the water and the ground was so great that the gate was built on such a high position.

"Does the little brother want to take a boat to cross the customs? Our small boat is just going to transport a batch of goods to Duobao Pass, there are only two vacant seats left, and the price is only yours, what do you think? The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, glancing at the old skin on Xiaoba's back.

"It's the first time I've passed the level, I'm not familiar with it, please give me a lot of advice!" Hachi showed a faint smile, nodded, and agreed to the invitation of the boatman, the middle-aged man showed joy on his face, and led Hachi to a small boat, only to see that the tail of the boat had been stuffed with all kinds of sundries, and only the bow of the ship had room left to settle down.

Hachi boarded the boat and put the old skin down gently, and then saw that the middle-aged man began to busily collect the hemp rope, raise the sail and swing the oars, and the boat moved with the wind, and began to leave the deck and set off forward.

The boat slowly sailed across the lake, and there were all kinds of boats of all sizes passing together, and the little eight squatted on the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful lake scenery on both sides, and couldn't help but think of the original trip to the South Lake, they met the big king eight who stirred the lake in the South Lake, and then he was caught underwater by a dragon that turned into a man.

That Jiaolong, called Shui Xin, said that she wanted to be friends with her, I don't know what her current situation is, whether she still stays at the bottom of the South Lake to cultivate.

This lake that can't be seen at the end, will there be something that becomes a spirit under the lake, Xiao Ba was in a trance, constantly thinking nonsense.

"Little brother, what do you call it, my name is Ah Sheng, I grew up on this Hanshui Lake" The man's voice suddenly came from Xiao Ba's side, Xiao Hachi turned his head sideways, and saw that it was the middle-aged boatman who came over, he had already packed up the things on the boat, and now he had time to come over and talk.

"Jiang Ba, just call me Xiaoba"

"Little Brother Jiang, is this friend of yours injured?" Ah Sheng's gaze swept over Lao Pi, and asked a little strangely, he wanted to ask at the beginning, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity, and now he finally asked.

"This is the groom who took me here, we met a few thieves, he was injured and he became like this, I originally wanted to pass the customs and entrust him to a post house, but I didn't expect that once I passed the city gate, it was such a big lake, I don't know how long it would take to get ashore," Hachi muttered as he explained.

Hearing this, Ah Sheng's face changed, he glanced at Lao Pi with some sympathy, and then said a little strangely, "Little Brother Jiang, you are blessed people, and good things will happen if you don't die."

"It's just that you may not know anything about Brother Jiang, only by crossing the Hanshui Lake can you be regarded as crossing the Hanshui Pass thoroughly, because the end of the Hanshui Lake is the Duobao Pass, and if you want to go ashore, you will reach the next pass."

Xiao Ba's face was shocked, he didn't expect it to be like this, "How long does it take to cross Hanshui Lake?" Hachi asked again.

"Under normal circumstances, you can reach Duobao Pass in three days, and there will be post stations along the way, and even Chunlou Gambling House has it," Ah Sheng said with a meaningful smile.

"There are also post stations, spring buildings, and gambling houses on this lake?" Xiao Ba's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Of course, we won't be long before we pass by the first station, and I'll take you down for a drink or two!" Ah Sheng laughed, as if he was very amused to see that outsiders had no knowledge.

Xiaoba smiled and nodded, he didn't care, it was good to be able to see it, but whether Lao Pi wanted to stay at this water station, this is a question, or wait to meet the water station.

The sun kept changing its position, time passed, Hachi raised his eyes to look at the lake, only to see a huge ship parked on the lake not far away, and this ship has a very unique shape, it is surrounded by unfolded decks, these decks are fixed together with hemp rope, and below the deck are hollowed out bamboo poles.

Ships kept coming to that side, hanging on to the deck with twine, and then they came to the deck in twos and threes, and entered the great ship.

"That's the post station, I didn't lie to you, our water post station, the food is first caught and fished, absolutely fresh" Ah Sheng smiled and moved the direction of the boat, and also headed towards that side.

Boarding the deck, Xiao Hachi only felt that the deck under his feet was shaking from side to side, although it was fixed by hemp rope, but after all, it was on the water, and it was normal for this deck to float and shake, Ah Sheng smiled and tied the hemp rope, walked to Xiao Hachi's side and led him to board the big boat, stepping into the inside of the big ship, and the lively scene came into view.

The large and small tables are full of people, everyone is talking and laughing, the table is steamed fish and shrimp, with a plate of seasonal vegetables, it seems that this is the standard food here, Ah Sheng led Xiaoba to find a countertop, after sitting down, he shouted to the store, "The old three!" ”

After a while, three plates of steaming dishes were served, a plate of steamed fish, a plate of fresh shrimp, and a plate of fried vegetables, simple and fragrant, Ah Sheng looked at Xiao Hachi with some pride, and his eyes motioned for him to taste it, Xiao Hachi raised his hand to pick up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

The fresh fragrance fills the mouth, the fish skin is tough, the fish meat is soft and tender like tofu, there is no peculiar smell, it is really a good taste, Xiaohachi keeps nodding to indicate that it is delicious, Ah Sheng laughed happily when he saw this, and brought two prawns to Xiaoba, and pointed to a staircase in the boat while eating and said to Xiaohachi.

"Look over there, the upstairs are all guest rooms, your friend can stay here, I'm familiar with this place, I'll tell them, they will definitely take care of your friend" Hachi followed his gesture and looked at it, only to see the position of the front cabin of the hull, there was a spiral of stairs.

"Then there is Brother Lao Asheng, how much money is needed, when you get to the Duobao Pass, I will give it to you together" Xiaoba bowed slightly and thanked him.

"No problem! Don't worry" Ah Sheng looked fine, picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Xiaoba, Xiaoba listened to him talk about things on Hanshui Lake while eating, and it was also very interesting.

After eating and drinking, the two returned to the boat and carried Lao Pi to the second floor of the big ship, a clean and transparent guest room, Ah Sheng talked to the shopkeeper here, the two returned to the boat, untied the hemp rope and continued to sail into the distance.

At night, the lake is even cooler than the land, the temperature difference is larger, Ah Sheng has already slept, Xiaoba lies on the wooden bed at the bow of the boat, staring at the cold moon, the moon stars are scarce, the cold silver light sprinkles on the lake, reflecting the silver plate.

A slight tremor came from Xiao Hachi's chest, it was the movement of the ancient stone plaque, and Xiao Hachi immediately came to his senses and raised his hand to hold the stone plaque.
