Chapter 135: Boarding the ship
"You are going to Camel Mountain, that is hundreds of miles away, I will rush back to Yue Tiancheng the day after tomorrow to celebrate my mother's birthday, and there are other guests on my ship, this"
When the boatman heard that Tianyao's destination was so far away, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Boatman, you make a price, we are really in a hurry!" Tianxiang was a little anxious, for fear that the boat that he had finally gotten on would not be able to reach his destination.
"Tianxiang, Baishan filial piety comes first, don't embarrass him, boatman, otherwise, if you see where it is convenient at the time, put us down, and then show us the way, do you think it's okay?"
Tianyao didn't want a filial son to catch up with his mother's birthday, Tianxiang also understood what Tianyao meant, so did Xiang'er, and the three of them couldn't help but think of their mother, but it's a pity
"Little brother, this road is all waterways, or barren mountains, and you can't open much road in more than a day, if you go to Mengba Mountain and put you down, it will be far away!"
Suddenly, Tianxiang seemed to think of something, "Boatman, you must know each other better in the passenger ship business, do you know that the ship is going to Camel Mountain or near there? Take us over, don't worry, we won't lose a cent of this introduction fee!"
After speaking, he stuffed a silver ingot weighing five taels to the boatman to express his gratitude, after all, this boatman's personality is really good.
Hearing Tianxiang mention this stubble, the boatman thought about it, then slapped his palm fiercely, and sighed: "Yes, there is indeed a big passenger boat to Camel Mountain, the boss of the boat is my cousin, oh, just two miles southeast of the front, I will go to him, thank you guests, I am not accompanied"
After receiving the silver from Tianxiang, the boatman thanked him and went below deck to let his men speed up.
Tianyao praised Tianxiang in admiration: "Second brother, I don't have to say it, I'm smart!"
Xiang'er looked lonely and didn't know what she was thinking.
There are no small boats with sampans and wooden sampans sailing on the Yinchuan River, and they are basically large boats made of unknown hardwood, at least six or seven zhang long and more than one zhang wide.
The ships are all tents made of canvas for the rest of the passengers, and the sailors seem to be on the lower deck of the ship.
Just kidding, since I was a child, what was the first thing that Tianxiang studied and couldn't disintegrate?
The boat drove very fast, and after a while, it caught up with the big ship, and then there was a "beep" sound, which attracted the attention of Tianyao and them, and it turned out to be the boatman who put his hand in his mouth and made it.
Then, there was a response from the big ship, and then a body poked out from the deck of the big ship, vaguely looking like the ship's owner, who was the owner of the big ship.
"Gazi, what's the matter?" The owner of the boat was a little surprised that his cousin came to him, you must know that this is on the Yinchuan River, and you must be careful in everything.
The boatman told the difficulties of the three Tianyao, hoping that his cousin would help the three of them and make it convenient, and the words also revealed the bold side of the three.
"No problem, it's convenient for you to be with people, just by the way, besides, Gazi, you opened your mouth, and I don't have a reason to push the guests out, three, get on the boat!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the owner agreed.
"Big brother, thank you, there will be a date later!" Tianyao arched his hand at the boatman's Gazi, and after Tianxiang and the two thanked him in turn, the three of them jumped on the boat lightly.
This is more than ten meters high, so easily jumped up, fell in the eyes of the owner of the big ship, combined with the age of the three people, couldn't help but nodded.
"The three of you will go well, and you will have a chance to zaijian next year!" The three of them, Gazi and Tianyao, waved their hands, and then ordered the passenger ship to sail to the northeast.
At this moment, Tianyao and the others didn't care about what Gazi said about next year's zaijian, and when they understood it later, it was already too late.
"Brother, give it, this is the boat money, it's really Xiexie Brother Gazi and you, otherwise we don't know when we will be able to find a boat to go to Camel Mountain!"
Tianyao had asked Gazi about the boat fare before, so at this time, he handed the owner two silver ingots of ten taels, and gave two taels more.
"Haha, you're welcome, our name is Wusu, halfway to the boat, we are still the first Yujian in decades, we are also fate! The tent over there is for the three of them, there are three compartments in it, it takes five days to get to the Camel Mountain, and the time is still long along the way, I think the three of them are good at cultivation, and they can practice to pass the time." I'll explain some things, and the three of you will please. ”
Wusu was not pretentious, took the silver, exchanged a few words with Tianyao and them, and went to get busy.
This ship is much larger than Gazi's passenger ship, and the deck alone is nearly a hundred zhang square, divided into four areas, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and Tianyao and them are arranged in the third tent in the second row of the east area.
Although the tent is not large, it looks very neat, and there are two curtains hung in the middle, which can be lifted to facilitate conversation, or the curtains can be lowered to separate the space.
The sleeping mats and quilts are neatly folded, and there is a faint fragrance in the tent, which shows that Wusu still pays attention to the feelings of the guests.
As soon as he smelled the fragrance of flowers, Tianyao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then took out a locust flower and chewed it, one after another, and gradually, a rich fragrance of flowers emanated from Tianyao.
At first, Tianxiang and Xiang'er didn't care, but as Tianyao began to spray incense, they knew that they were going to suffer, and no matter how fragrant everyone was in the wilderness before, it was okay to eat one or two flowers in Yue Tiancheng like before.
But now that I eat it like this, this fragrance is like the most mellow and strongest nectar, which lasts for a long time, and is easy to be noticed, and it is difficult to explain at that time.
"Big brother, bear with it!" Tianxiang touched his head with one hand and pulled Tianyao's arm with the other.
Xiang'er walked to the door of the tent and looked out to see if there was anyone.
At this time, suddenly there was a shout from the front: "Sacrifice to the river god, Miss Yue sacrifice to the river god!"
Soon, the boat stopped, and Tianyao and the others didn't dare to go out, but they really wanted to see this rare memorial ceremony, so they couldn't help frowning and thinking about it.
At this time, the people on the passenger ship all ran to the bow of the boat to see, and no one cared about Tianyao who had just gotten on the boat, and Wusu was the fastest runner, for him to be able to watch even if he just felt the breath of the river god.
"Hey, there's a hole here!"
Tianxiang's eyes didn't know how long, but he found a small hole on the side of the boat on the left side of the tent.
He immediately leaned over to take a look, and was amused.
"Big brother, Xiang'er, come and see, you can just see it!"
As he spoke, he gave up his place.
Xiang'er first put her eyes on the small hole, and sure enough, she could see the scene outside, and after a while, she gave up her position to Tianyao.
