Chapter Forty-Eight: Yu Daring

"This ......" the guy rolled his eyes, and his face was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Shen Luo knew in his heart, took out a broken silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The fellow glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and he reached for it.

"Let's talk about it first. Shen Luo raised his hand to gently cover the broken silver, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Ahem...... If the little one remembers correctly, there is only one family surnamed Yu, who makes a boat in the yellow reed swinging water. There are more than ten miles of water up and down that place, there are too many reefs and rocks, and the current is fast, so the man in the Yu family can sail there. The man coughed dryly, withdrew his hand, and said stupidly.

When Shen Luo heard this, he was overjoyed, picked up the broken silver and put it in the man's hand, but he didn't let go immediately, and continued to ask:

"Where is Huang Weidang, is the place easy to find?"

"It's easy to find, out of the west gate, fifty or sixty miles to the southwest, if you can't find it on the road, just ask someone, just say find Yu Daring on the line. The man felt the coldness in his palms, smiled, and said quickly.

"There's Brother Lao. Shen Luo smiled and let go of his hand.

"Where is it, what else does the guest officer have to say, although it is said, the city gate has closed early in recent days, and it is generally closed at the end of the day, and the guest officer should pay attention to the return time. The shopkeeper smiled on his face, thanked him again and again, and put away the broken silver.

Shen Luo waved his hand, and the man bent down and retreated.

After eating, Shen Luo led his horse out of the city, all the way to the southwest, and after about half an hour, he came to the bank of the river.

The upper reaches of the Luanshui River are quite wide, and the artificially built embankments on both sides and the tidal flats adjacent to the water are full of thick elm and willow trees, and the willow branches with dense roots are hanging down, swaying with the summer breeze.

Shen Luo walked all the way along the river bank, and after walking for more than ten miles, he found that the riverbed of the Luanshui River began to shrink a little bit, and the originally wide water surface gradually narrowed by dozens of zhang, making the originally gentle water flow gradually become turbulent.

The further I went, the more sandbars began to emerge on the surface of the river, on which were dense clusters of reeds, the reed leaves were green, and the wind blew "rattle", and from time to time waterfowl flew and fell.

After driving the horse forward for more than ten miles, Shen Luo finally saw that not far from the river in front of him, there was an old elm tree dozens of zhang high, and a simple thatched hut was set up in the shade under the tree.

On the shore of the water not far from the thatched hut, a small boat is tethered, and a bamboo pole about ten zhang long is inserted in the side of the boat.

He came to a short distance under the elm tree, jumped off his horse, and walked slowly with the reins in hand.

"Is the boat family here?" Shen Luo stood outside the house and shouted loudly.

"Hey, it's coming......" A response sounded quickly, and his voice was quite rough.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a rather stout figure walked out of the hut.

Shen Luo looked up and down, and found that in addition to the fact that his complexion was too tanned, the outline of his face was three or four points similar to Yu Meng, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, feeling that this person might be one of the ancestors of the Yu family.

"Dare to ask, but Yu Zhouzi?" Shen Luo asked.

"Haha, what the guest officer said, the water section of the Luanshui River in Songfan County is hundreds of miles up and down, but there is a second Yu Daring?" the middle-aged man laughed loudly, and seemed to be quite complacent in his words.

"It's for the name of Brother Yu. Shen Luo heard this and said with a smile.

"The guest officer is going to cross the river, but it is not easy to carry a horse, and I am afraid that our boat will not be able to stand on the horse. The middle-aged man who claimed to be bold looked at Shen Luo, a little embarrassed.

"If you don't cross the river, you just want to borrow a boat from my brother for the price...... It's all negotiable. Shen Luo blinked his eyes and said.

When Yu Daring heard Shen Luo's words, he couldn't help but glance Shen Luo up and down again, and he couldn't figure out what this young man who looked like a rich boy wanted to do?

Shen Luo just looked at Yu Daring with a smile, waiting for him to speak.

"This guest officer, you look like a foreigner, right? This yellow reed swing is not a good place to swim and play, you look at the reeds swing scenery is good, the bottom of the river is full of undercurrent reefs, and there is a large rocky beach in the middle. It's a veteran boater, and if you're not careful, you're going to hit it, and it's not a good idea to rent a boat yourself. Yu Daring frowned and persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, I still know some water, I just want to take a look in the reeds, enjoy the scenery and come back. Shen Luo said.

"Guest officer, if you want to enjoy the scenery, let's send you over by boat, and we will collect a money to cross the river back and forth, which costs less than renting a boat, and there is no danger, don't you say?" Yu Daring still felt that it was inappropriate.

"Don't listen to this fool...... guest officer" Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, before Shen Luo could answer, an eager woman's voice came from the hut.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman wearing a brown dress and a scarf walked out of the hut with a big belly.

The woman's complexion was black and red, and it was evident that she had been accustomed to a hard life in the wind and sun.

"Yo, there is such a handsome offspring......" The woman exclaimed when she saw Shen Luo.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, not taking it seriously.

"Why did you get out, don't catch the wind. Seeing this, Yu Daring hurriedly turned around to greet him, with a look of concern.

When the woman saw this, she glared at him fiercely, slapped away the hand he had helped up, and said:

"You country man, do you know what elegance is? This young master is going to go into the reeds to enjoy the scenery alone, maybe a poetic character can write a poem that is known to the whole world, what are you a rough man doing next to you, isn't it too much of an eyesore?"

Of course, Shen Luo knew that the woman wanted to earn the silver for renting the boat, but she didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said that I was joking, I just want to go to relax alone, how can there be any poetry......

Hearing Shen Luo say this, his daughter-in-law kept her eyes on her face, and Yu Daring had no choice but to sit aside and stop talking.

"Hehe, how long does the young master have to rent it, although our ship is not big, but there is a lot of business this day, the young master can't treat our family badly. The woman said with a smile on her face.

"I'll rent it for three days, from now on, to this time in three days, how about giving you ten taels of silver?" Shen Luo touched his chin and asked.

"How many ......"

When the woman heard this, her face changed a little, she really didn't expect Shen Luo's hand to be so generous.

"Ten taels of silver. Shen Luo repeated.

"No, no...... Too much. Yu boldly waved his hand again and again.

"This ...... It's really a lot, and it's more than enough to buy our boat. Don't say it's ten taels, one tael is a lot. "Rao is that the woman is greedy for money, and she thinks she shouldn't take so much.

"Sister-in-law don't have to worry about it, I talked to Brother Yu very well, these ten taels of silver should be a friend, and I will rent this boat. Shen Luo couldn't refute.

"The young master is extraordinary, heroic and generous, and he will definitely live a long life and be a hundred years old in the future......" The woman smiled from ear to ear, and the more she looked at the afterlife in front of her, the more pleasing she felt to the eye.
