Chapter 11: Riding a boat

There is a luxury passenger ship parked at the wharf, the captain is more than ten zhang, and the upper and lower three layers are carved and painted, and it looks quite imposing from a distance.

Zhao Chuan had never seen such a big river boat, and said that he couldn't imagine that skilled craftsmen could still build buildings on the ship, and stood on the dock in admiration.

Huang Jin said that this kind of ship is called a building ship, which is a kind of shipping ship set up by the government on the river or at sea.

"Uncle, how many people do you need to rock the oars on such a big ship?" Zhao Chuan said.

Huang Jin said with a smile that this kind of boat does not use oars like small wooden boats, but is equipped with a paddle wheel with paddle blades at the tail, and relies on manpower to step on the paddle wheel shaft, so that the paddle blades on the axle pull water to push the hull forward. Therefore, there are not many people who use it, the speed is fast, the boat is the same day and night, and the favorite to go out is to take this kind of boat, which is convenient and safe.

Zhao Chuan said that this is true, as long as you have money, everything is convenient, safe and fast.

As soon as he inquired about the boat fare, Zhao Chuan was taken aback.

The first class cabin was two hundred taels of silver, only a few; eighty taels of silver in the first class; Thirty taels of silver in the second class; There is no cabin for ten taels of silver in the third-class cabin, so you can find a place to sit on the ship.

Huang Jin used to sit in third class, and this time he has money, so he plans to take second class. Knowing that you boarded the ship at one moment and lifted anchor at the second hour, Huang Jin paid for the ship.

Zhao Chuan thought that it was outrageous to live in a hotel in the town before two taels of silver, and he couldn't imagine that the ferry ticket was more expensive, and it cost dozens of taels of silver to take this boat. The first-class cabin cost two hundred taels of silver, and it was only this money to buy a courtyard facing the street.

What the hell is going on? Even if you practice in the hidden mountains by yourself, it will only be two or three years, and the prices outside can't soar so high, right?

Zhao Chuan was very depressed, feeling that Huang Jin was a wronged man, and he didn't want to go with such a person, so he simply sat on the dock and didn't leave.

Huang Jin saw that Zhao Chuan's mood was wrong, and after understanding the reason, he couldn't help laughing, and said Zhao Chuan, your original birthplace is the barren mountainous area in the north, which is the land of fish and rice in the south, and the south is very rich, of course, the prices are different.

Huang Jin said earnestly that this kind of boat was originally for the rich, so let's make a lot of money in the future, this time I paid for it, don't think about it, get on the boat.

After boarding the ship, the crew will bring the guests into their respective cabins one by one, inform the precautions, there are taverns and shops on the middle floor, the second class cabin is on the ground floor, there are two bunks, there are no windows, the two of them lie down to rest, about the time Huang Jin said to go to the tavern, Zhao Chuan does not want to go, let Huang Jin bring some back after eating.

Huang Jin said let's go, this passenger ship is very luxurious, the lights are colorful at night, and the second floor is a public area that is very lively.

Zhao Chuan asked, what's so funny? Huang Jin said that there are things on the shore here, and there are also things here that are not on the shore, you know......

As soon as Zhao Chuan heard that, forget it, I'm still too young to let you take it bad, Huang Jin laughed and said It's okay to go to eat and drink, the food on this ship is very distinctive, and the hired chefs are all famous chefs from all over the world, because there are many rich families on this boat who specialize in traveling in the mountains and rivers.

When the two arrived at the tavern, there was no free table, even if they wanted to share the table, there were few vacant seats, only the table near the hotel counter There were still two vacant seats, a man and a woman, the man was burly, and the woman was charming.

Huang Jin hurriedly approached: "Can I sit here, two of you?" ”

The man looked Huang Jin up and down, obviously disgusted with him, and was about to open his mouth to refuse to take a seat, but the woman moved her body to the man's side, and the man didn't say anything anymore, after all, there were many people on the boat, even if the guests didn't ask, the shopkeeper would come over to ask.

Huang Jin beckoned Zhao Chuan to come and sit down, Xiao Er hurriedly came over and apologized: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, there are many small guests in the place, and there are a few grievances, as the saying goes, a hundred years of cultivation and ferrying, acquaintance is fate, what do you two want?" ”

Huang Jin only needed two side dishes, a pot of wine and a bowl of rice, and the man at the same table pursed his lips even more disdainfully, but Huang Jin just didn't see it.

Zhao Chuan looked at the man at the same table carefully, but he had a little martial arts cultivation, his complexion was not very good, his liver was strong and his kidneys were weak, he was afraid that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

The woman looked much younger than the man, holding her cheek with one hand and looking down at the man eating and drinking, Zhao Chuan sensed the surroundings, most of this tavern are ordinary people, there are few martial artists, and the cultivation is also low.

Xiao Er's wine and food had already come up, and the guest officer turned around and left.

Huang Jin said: "Chuan'er, you don't drink, let's eat." Then pour yourself a drink and enjoy it slowly.

After two cups, Huang Jin looked up at the man at the same table and said, "The contemptible surname is Huang, Naiyi Langzhong, may I ask my brother's surname?" ”

The man didn't raise his eyes, and said lightly: "I don't know all my life, I get off the boat and go to my own thing, I don't know!" ”

Huang Jin embarrassed "cough" twice: "Yes, too!" ”

But the woman raised her head and asked, "Are you Langzhong?" Can the little girl be unwell and be seen by Mr. Lao! ”

Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, the man said: "When you go out, you need to be self-respecting, you don't know your face, you don't know your heart, not everyone can heal!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Jin was generalized, his face couldn't hold back, and the wine glass was released: "Huang has been practicing medicine for many years, traveling all over the world, although he can't say that he can get rid of the disease, all diseases in the world cannot be cured!" ”

When Zhao Chuan heard this, he secretly scolded Huang Jin, "This guy is healed, the scar forgot the pain, and he is bragging again, it seems that he made the family beat lightly last time......"

However, Zhao Chuan thought about it again, Huang Jin is a tour of the rivers and lakes, and he is afraid that what he eats is a bowl of rice, if the propaganda is not good, how can he attract business?

At this time, the woman was already sobbing and tears were raining down: "It is said that it is to take the slave family out to relax, dispel depression and relieve depression, but there are fortifications everywhere, the concubine is sick and the pain is unbearable, and there is a ready-made Lang Zhong and does not let the diagnosis and treatment, I know that you wish the slave family died early, so as to continue the string as soon as possible!" "I can't stop crying.

The man's face was a little embarrassed, and he persuaded with guilt: "Madame is unwell, let's go back to the cabin to rest." ”

The woman glanced at Huang Jin, and said while crying: "The slave family is in unbearable pain, and the cabin is stuffy, I would rather jump into the river than go back!" ”

As soon as the woman cried, the man had no choice but to salute Huang Jin and said, "If you have offended a lot, please ...... Brother Huang Adults don't remember villains, and they diagnose and treat! ”

Huang Jin said lightly: "Brother Tai's words are serious, and those who are not small-bellied chicken intestines are afraid that their medical skills will disappoint Brother Tai!" ”

However, the woman's tone changed and she said aggressively: "Doctors don't cure diseases, just now Mr. Huang said that he can cure all diseases, and now he says that medical skills are not refined, isn't it inconsistent?" If you can't try it, you will be rewarded, and if you don't ask your husband not to show up on the boat in the future, why bother talking? ”

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Huang Jin calmly, Zhao Chuan found that there was no tear in the corner of her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh that this woman was so powerful.

Huang Jin was really defeated by a woman again, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Encountering this unforgiving lord, Huang Jin didn't know how to answer for a while, and looked at Zhao Chuan in a daze.

Zhao Chuan secretly said, Look at what I'm doing, tell you not to come out, you will come out, just come out, and you will provoke everywhere, and you will walk in all directions.

But Zhao Chuan couldn't help but save the scene, he coughed dryly and hurriedly said, "Uncle Huang, even I feel that this sister is not very good, you are idle, you are idle, so let's take a closer look and take a good look......"

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head and sobbed again.

Huang Jin borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, said okay, and turned his head to look at the woman.

Not to mention, I didn't look at the woman's face carefully before, but at this time, the woman's face was tear-stained, a little sickly, charming and charming, and there seemed to be a kind of anger......

Huang Jin somehow became frightened, hurriedly lowered his head and stretched out his hand, pressed it on the woman's outstretched wrist in a daze, turned his face to the side, and didn't dare to look at the woman again.

After a long time, Huang Jin said indifferently: "Madame's qi and blood are stagnant, the meridians are blocked, the menstrual blood is irregular, the menstrual disorders are disordered, the lower abdomen is colic, and the lady is emotionally unstable, troubled, worried, sleepless, this disease has been going on for some time, I'm afraid I have drunk a lot of medicine, and it has little effect......"

Zhao Chuan secretly complained in his heart: Are you revenge for the revenge you just had? Don't talk so much and explicitly, what if you can't cure others......

Zhao Chuan quietly gave Huang Jin a look, but he didn't expect Huang Jin to not only ignore it, but also groaned and then accentuated his tone:

"It can't be said that you used the wrong medication before, but Madame, you have this condition...... Even if you use good herbs, even if the medicine is symptomatic, it can't cure the disease, there is no medicine in the world that can cure all diseases, and Mrs. should understand...... There are some diseases that cannot be cured by medicine! ”

As she spoke, the woman's face became more and more gray, and her eyes were glazed, there was no doubt that Huang Jin was right, but the man said impatiently: "What's the use of saying so much, just say whether you can cure it or not!" ”

Huang Jin replied: "Since I can diagnose it, I can cure it, but I can't cure it now!" ”

The man shouted angrily: "Isn't it in vain that it can't be cured!" ”

Huang Jin was also anxious: "It's on the boat now, can you catch the medicine if I prescribe it?" Of course, the treatment is not only decoction, but also acupuncture, massage, cupping and massage! The question is, will this be possible? You and I both know that the cure of the disease goes to the root, and several diseases of the lady have a mutual causal relationship, and the illness of the lady is not only the business of the lady, but may need to be treated by a woman and a man! ”

The man got up suddenly, and the murderous intent burst out, pointing at Huang Jin, "You! ”

At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, he had already observed for a long time, this was to fight, "The two of you are angry, I have invited you to eat today, we have to do business, I ask the two uncles to understand the small difficulties!" ”

The man didn't say a word, took out a silver ingot, put it on the table, pulled the woman up and turned to leave, the woman walked a few steps and looked back at Huang Jin, but let the man see it again, the man was even more angry, and pulled out of the tavern with force.

The shopkeeper looked at Huang Jin and said, "Guest officer, let's go too, it's better to go back to the cabin and don't come out." ”

Zhao Chuan smiled bitterly in his heart, this Huang Jin didn't take a light beating a few days ago, and he beat others so hard that he broke his head......

Huang Jin hurriedly ate and returned to the cabin, just got off the second-floor spiral ladder, Zhao Chuan felt a palm wind coming, stepped forward and grabbed Huang Jin to turn around, and slapped the ground on the back, Huang Jin popped up a few steps in front and fell to the ground, Zhao Chuan also rushed forward a few steps and fell at Huang Jin's feet.
