Although Yin Qing and Hu Yun didn't understand what Mr. Ji was doing, they knew that Mr. Ji must have his own reasons for doing things, so they hurriedly followed when they saw that Mr. Ji was urging.

When I went back, I felt a little faster than when I came, and after returning to the cargo road of Laohuashan, I could already see some teams driving ox carts, donkey carts, carriages, and horse-drawn carts, carrying goods, luggage or guests back and forth.

Walking on the road, Hu Yun frequently looked at the lotus leaf bag that Ji Yuan was carrying in his hand, remembering that these dried lotus leaves were still asked from the store when he bought cakes in Jiudaokou County, but he didn't expect it to be used to hold fish, and the red fox instinctively felt that the fish was not simple.

In addition to occasionally looking at the fish in Ji Yuan's hand, Yin Qing also frequently looked behind Ji Yuan, and walked for a while and saw that there were no pedestrians, cars and horses on the side, so he couldn't help but whisper to ask Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, what about the sword that appeared in your hand just now, why is it missing now?"

Yin Qing looked at the cloth burden that Ji Yuan was carrying, such a small bag obviously couldn't fit a long sword, and the shape was not right.

"You said the Qingteng Sword, this sword is unwilling and should not be shown lightly, hidden in a place where you can't see it. ”

"Oh..."

Mr. Ji's ambiguous answer is tantamount to not wanting to elaborate, so Yin Qing will give up.

"But that sword is so beautiful, the verdant and verdant feeling is so smart, as soon as you see it, you know that it is definitely a magic weapon, right, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Yuan smiled, and before he could speak.

"Buzz ......"

A sword sound sounded faintly, Yin Qing and Hu Yun had a faint tinnitus in their ears, and their eyes couldn't help but look left and right, but they couldn't find the source of this strange feeling, only Ji Yuan said "hehe" twice and stopped making a sound.

The old birch hill freight road was dug along the gentle terrain of the mountain, and it didn't take much effort to get to the ferry at the other end.

Even if Ji Yuan and Yin Qing were just normal people's walking speed, they arrived at the ferry by the Xiaoshun River outside the mountain before noon.

Yin Qing's bookbox still contained the cakes and snacks he had bought in Jiudaokou County, so they didn't plan to eat in the shops and liquor stores at the ferry, but went directly to find the ferry.

It was early in the morning when I came to this ferry, but now it is the busy time of the ferry, and it is full of shipwrights loading and unloading cargo and boatmen soliciting guests.

The atmosphere of the dock made Hu Yun lying on the bookcase a little nervous, especially those muscular boatmen who were shirtless and carrying wooden boxes and large frames of "hey, throat, hey, throat" up and down, giving the fox an inexplicable sense of oppression, always feeling that this box would come to smash himself, and also blamed Yin Qing for having nothing to do to tell the story of the villagers fighting monsters together.

Ji Yuan took Yin Qing to walk around the ferry, and Yin Qing felt that Mr. Ji was looking for something.

"Mr. Ji, are you looking for something?"

Ji Yuan walked around the front and back, but he couldn't find the small passenger boat back then, and he didn't know if the father and son of the boat didn't do this business anymore, or they had already gone out of the boat and happened to not meet it, it should be the latter.

Facing Yin Qing's question, Ji Yuan smiled.

"It's nothing, just look at it, do you two want to take a big boat or a small boat?"

"Big ship!" "Small boat!"

Two voices sounded one before and one after the other, Yin Qing and Hu Yun rarely had different opinions, Yin Qing wanted to take a big boat, and Hu Yun wanted to take a small boat.

Yin Qing turned his head, happened to meet a slightly apprehensive fox face, and changed his words to Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, let's take a small boat, there are few people and quiet. ”

"Okay, then we'll take a boat!"

led Yin Qing to the side of a small passenger boat similar to the style of the ship's father and son, and Ji Yuan greeted the man who was napping on the deck with a straw hat on his face.

"Boatman, can this boat go to Chunhui Mansion......?

After calling twice, the boatman took off his straw hat and straightened up, looking at Ji Yuan and Yin Qing standing on the shore of the dock, looking like two scholars.

"Boatman, do you want to go to Chunhui Mansion?"

Ji Yuan asked again.

The boatman scratched his face and scratched his head, and replied a little idlely.

"The charter boat is two or two, and the passengers can also be paid, and the limit is eight people. ”

Look at this man's vague qi and blood hidden in his body, he should be a practitioner with good martial arts, but this premium is a bit much, Ji Yuan waved his hand.

"Erliang? This Jizhou is disaster-free and disaster-free, and the materials are abundant, so the ship fare will not rise so much, how about chartering a boat for 200 wen and then chartering a meal on the ship?"

The boatman leaned out and washed his face with a handful of water by the river, and looked at the shore.

"Yo, I'm still a knowledgeable person, so let's do it, if the guest officer charters the boat and leaves immediately, then it will run 200 Wen, if you are ready to wait for the boat passengers, then the total fare will be 400 Wen in the end, how about it?"

Ji Yuan nodded.

"Okay, then let's go straight to the boat, we'll charter the boat!"

"Okay, the guest officer is cheerful, hey, this son is slow, be careful, I'll give you a springboard!"

Hearing that Ji Yuan was preparing to charter the boat quickly, the man's attitude was a lot warmer, and he was busy setting up the planks on the boat, so that Yin Qing could step on the gangplank and get on the boat.

When Yin Qing carried the bookcase on the boat, the boatman also reached out to help him, but when Yin Qing stepped on the boat, Hu Yun jumped from the bookcase to the boat.

Although the red fox was extremely light, when it landed on the board, the man of the boat still frowned, subconsciously looked around, and then beckoned Ji Yuan to get on the boat.

"Boatman, you're the only one in this boatman?"

Ji Yuan looked back and forth on the boat, and there was no second person on the other side of the inner warehouse, so wouldn't there be no one to rotate.

"Hehe, it's the next person, don't worry, Mr. Big, others will be three days and I will be three days, and others will be five days and I will still be three days, I can't slow down!"

As he spoke, the boatman had already untied the rope of the dock and used a bamboo pole to prop up the boat to gradually leave the shore of the pier.

"Sit tight, sit tight, sail! hey~~~~yo~~~~"

The boatman's body blood rose sharply, and when he swayed vigorously, his body muscles were distinct, and the whole boat shook violently from side to side and left the dock and sailed out.

Yin Qing's center of gravity was unstable on the ship, so he hurriedly sat down on the stool in the cabin to hold it steady, and even the red fox who took the boat for the first time was lying on the stool and hugging the stool with his front and back paws.

Only Ji Yuan stood firmly in front of the warehouse and looked at the surface of the Xiaoshun River, and his body didn't even shake, which caused the boatman behind him to squint his eyes and take a closer look, and secretly asked if he had lost his eyes.

This man's swinging strength was obviously greater than that of the old boatman, and he had already arrived at the intersection of the Xiaoshun River and the Chunmu River in the afternoon.

But like the boatman of the day, the boat stopped here, and the man walked from the back to the front, and took a long-roded harpoon from the cabin, and a long rope was attached to the handle of the harpoon.

"Two guest officers, please wait a moment, there are a lot of big fish in this estuary, and tonight's meal is pointing here!"

Yin Qing and Hu Yun couldn't hide their curiosity, and walked outside to see how the man speared fish, and Ji Yuan also stood by the mast with a smile.

In the past, some small boats and large boats passed by, and some small boats stopped here, or cast nets or cast rods.

The boatman stared intently at the surface of the water, exploring the subtle changes under the water through the sparkling waves, if a novice may not be able to judge where the fish are in the depth due to the refraction of light, but it is obviously not a problem for this boatman.

"Mr. Ji, why is he standing still. ”

"Shhhh Look at it!"

As soon as Ji Yuan's words fell, the boatman suddenly moved, and the muscles all over his body seemed to bulge in an instant, and he pulled out his harpoon with a fierce momentum.

Whoosh~ "Bang..."

The water splashed, and the harpoon flew out and shot diagonally into the water, and only the handle of one palm of the harpoon was exposed to the water.

"Hahaha...... Hit!"

The man laughed and quickly pulled the rope back, and a moment later, a large silver carp that was still shaking was pulled up.

"Good skills!"

Ji Yuan praised it, and Yin Qing also called it "amazing".

There was sporadic applause in the distance, and looking at the sound, a big ship happened to pass by, and some passengers on the boat also saw this scene, and applauded from afar.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've won awards, and I'm begging for a life on the water!"

The boatman did not stop, feeling that a silver carp was not enough to eat, so he took the silver carp off the fork and put it in a wooden basin on the side, and raised the fork again to concentrate.

This picture made Ji Yuan inexplicably think of the leap earth and Ru, and the posture was the same as the picture in the text of the previous life.

A big silver carp of four or five catties and a grass carp of about the same size were the harvest of the man, and then he happily went back to swing the oar, sailed the boat out of the mouth of the river, and headed for Chunhuifu.

There is no wind on the river today, and the sails are useless, but the strength of the boatman's rocking has not diminished from beginning to end, and there is a kind of posture that is ready to shake directly until dark, but when he arrived at a certain position on the Chunmu River, Ji Yuan shouted to stop.

"Boatman, stop the boat!"

"Ah, if the guest officer is in a hurry, he will solve it directly at the bow of the boat towards the river, facing the shore, there is a forest and wilderness, and no one will meet it!"

Ji Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Boatman, I'm not trying to relieve myself, we'll rest here for the night tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow!"

"Huh?"

The boatman looked at the sky, a little inexplicable, with the speed of his rocking, he could have traveled a long way before anchoring.

Ji Yuan arched his hand and explained.

"When I passed through this section of the river, some interesting things happened, and at this time, I wanted to stay here for one night as I did at the beginning, and it was convenient for the boatman to travel. ”

The boatman scratched his head in the back and returned the salute.

"Okay, okay, you are the gold owner, you can do whatever you want! Hey, the reader is the trouble......

The first half of the sentence answered loudly, and the second half of the sentence muttered and complained softly, all of which were listened to word by word in Ji Yuan's ears.

Since Ji Yuan insisted on requesting, the boatman also dropped anchor and stopped here, began to process the two fish in advance, and then brought out the stove to prepare the meal

Before sunset, the boatman had already prepared a meal, both of which were steamed fish, with ginger slices and some of the ship's own sauces, but after setting up the meal, Ji Yuan borrowed the stove and casserole from the boatman, saying that he wanted to bring the stew to the bow of the boat.

The boatman also took a look at it under curiosity, and found that there were two small silver fish the length of a palm in a large pot of water, and I don't know where it came from, maybe there was a small tank or something in the bookcase, it seemed that the fish was still alive, although it turned its belly when it entered the water, but the cheeks and fins still occasionally moved.

"Uh, guest officer, do you want me to help you deal with these two fish, gills and internal organs......

"No, no, that's fine!"

Ji Yuan smiled and rejected the boatman's kindness, which also made the latter cry and laugh, and said straight in his heart, "These nerds are really nerds!"

The sky gradually darkened, Ji Yuan, Yin Qing and the boatman in the cabin were eating with bowls, Hu Yun was lying on the table with a greedy mouth, and occasionally Yin Qing "accidentally" dropped a piece of fish meat frequently, which could not satisfy the appetite of the red fox at all.

One thing the boatman was very happy about, the gentleman surnamed Ji actually took out a pot of Qianrichun during the meal, this kind of famous wine is not cheap, and the boatmen who drank it were a little embarrassed, after all, this wine was more expensive than the boat fare.

After eating almost the boat, the boatman went to the bow of the boat to relieve himself, and Yin Qingcai hurriedly filled a bowl of rice, poured the soup with sauce and fish on it, and put a spoon on the side of the stool.

Hu Yun grabbed the spoon with his claws at lightning speed, swallowed the dates and picked up the rice in his mouth, eating it so fragrantly, this feeling of being hung for so long and stealing food again, it is simply not much more delicious than eating a meal in Ning'an County.

After untying his hands, the boatman went to the other side to scoop some river water to wash his hands, and then walked to the bow of the boat and added some charcoal to the stove.

"It tastes pretty good... Mr. Naji doesn't seem to have any seasoning......"

The man's nose moved, and he couldn't help but wrap his hands around his cuffs to prevent scalding, and lifted the lid of a casserole to look inside.

Suddenly, a rich fragrance overflowed from the inside, smelling as if it was numb, and then looking inside, the two fish had disappeared, leaving only a pot of silver and transparent soup.

"Boom la la ......"

There was a sudden sound of water on the surrounding river, and the boatman was awakened, and immediately closed the lid inexplicably, looking at the river a few feet away, the ripples were slowly dissipating.

"Boom la la ......"

This time the sound was in front of the bow of the boat, and the boatman suddenly crossed a few feet away, looked in the direction of the water lines, and faintly glimpsed that there was a flash of blue light, and the movement of the water lines was not small, not like an ordinary fish.

Even if he has martial arts, the boat family is furious, isn't there really a water man?
