Chapter 2: Border Towns

"Hey, I said you two little sisters can't go? It's not early, this is the last boat today, if you don't leave, I'm going to start the boat" Looking at the two little girls who stopped in front of him, the boatman kindly reminded.

"Oh, here," Shu Ya glanced at the boatman, and got on the boat with Qingyi. sighed in my heart, the world is really wonderful, who would have thought that this honest boatman was once a famous headshot robber in history.

…………….

"Hey, I said Lao Wu, give us the Duanchuanjiang number," a middle-aged man on the boat said in authentic Chongqing dialect.

"No, you see everyone is tired, let them rest for a while," said the boatman, pointing his chin up and pointing at the people on board.

"Come on, boatman, I haven't heard your horn for a long time, so come me for a while," said another black man, word for word, in Chinese, not very fluent.

"yes, let's have a while"

"So, I'll just have a paragraph?" The boatman couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm and said with a smile.

"Listen up" everyone nodded excitedly, thinking that the world is so big, or is it the most comfortable here.

"I'm not afraid, no matter how fierce and ruthless the flying stones and quicksand, I can't cross it, and next year it will be full of flowers., I'm used to shouting the trumpet and saying my hometown, in our dictionary, I can't find out what is scared. Heyzole hey, let's wear the evil waves, heyzole, heyzole, hey, hey, hey,

In this way, the boat moved slowly, listening to the roar of the boatman, everyone felt the river breeze blowing slowly, the coolness hit, the fatigue of the day gradually dissipated, and before I knew it, the boat was about to dock.

Shu Ya listened to this song with a strong hometown flavor, stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the town that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but look at it.

I saw two two-meter-high male lions standing on both sides of the entrance, which looked particularly majestic from a distance. And in the middle of the two lions is hanging a plaque crookedly, vaguely seeing the word border city.

Border?

Is the border city described by Shen Congwen in his writing?

Shu Ya shook her head, but unfortunately there was no Cuicui and Grandpa here, and there was no Huang Yongyu.

"It's here" The rough voice of the boatman interrupted Shu Ya's thoughts, Shu Ya was secretly annoyed in her heart, what are you thinking, she is not here for a vacation now.

...........

"Yaya, is there a mistake in the information?" Sitting at the dining table, the light clothes held their heads in one hand and ate slowly, as if they were doing a study rather than enjoying a meal.

They've been here for nine days, and today is the tenth day. But there is no news of the exact location of the Scorpion Headquarters, so they can't be searched mountain by mountain, right?

"Come and try it, this fish is the river fish of the big river, with this fiery pickled pepper, the soup is particularly sour" Shu Ya put down a bowl of hot fish soup in front of Qingyi.

"Yaya..."

"Waiter, bring me a pound of beef and two bottles of Xiaoer" Qingyi wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by a sissy voice. Turning his head, he saw a man in his early twenties with a few very obvious scratches on his face walking in in an embarrassed manner.

"Yo, big head, why is it getting worse every day? You're going up to the mountain again to collect medicine today, right? A diner at the table next to him asked gloatingly.

"Alas, don't mention it, bad luck," the man with the big head put down the medicine basket and took a sip of water.

"Well deserved! Who told you to go up to the south mountain, don't you know that the mountain is a guillotine mountain? Another diner at the next table said unceremoniously, apparently acquaintance.

"But you are also lucky, many people like you who do not believe in evil have fallen from the mountain and died at the foot of the mountain." The man sitting next to him spoke.

"Alas, Lao Li, I know what you said. But there are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs on that mountain..." In the second half of the sentence, the big head muttered quietly in a voice that he could hear.

"Hehe, you kid really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin." The man named Lao Li glanced at the big head sarcastically and said, "There are a lot of medicinal materials on that mountain, but it depends on whether you have the life to take it." Looking at you like this, you don't have much to gain today, right? ”

When the big head heard this, he was anxious, "Who said I didn't have a harvest today, I can pick a millennium Ganoderma lucidum the size of a millstone today, but unfortunately, there is only such a small point left now" As he spoke, the big head took out a piece of Lingzhi the size of a child's fist from the cross bag and was still on the table.

"Good boy, I'm lucky, but since it's one, why is there only so much left?" The crowd asked curiously.

Although they didn't know what the thousand-year-old Lingzhi looked like, this small piece of black and shiny surface was indeed old.

"Well, I feel bad luck talking about this." Datou recalled, "I was very excited to pick such a large thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but before I could be happy, a bronze horse suddenly came out of my face, not only ate my Ganoderma lucidum, but also kicked me down the mountain." ”

A live bronze horse?

Isn't that the exclusive design of the Nangong family?

Shu Ya glanced at the light clothes on the other side who were still bowing her head and munching mechanically, thinking about something.

"A live bronze horse? You read that right? Lao Li asked suspiciously, obviously not believing.

"Really, don't believe it, look" The big head who was afraid that Lao Li would not believe it, pulled down the clothes on his chest, and a clearly visible horseshoe print appeared in front of people's eyes.

"Cut, what can a horse's hoof print say, it can only be said that it was kicked by a horse"

"Alas, leave him alone, come on, let's drink...."

"Waiter, settle the bill" Shuya got up to check out after making sure she couldn't hear any more useful information, and walked to the south of Arshan.
