There are many carts and horses in the north, and many boats and boats in the south.

Since the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty, there are many laws and regulations in the waterway, in addition to the imperial court boats, merchant ships and passenger ships are also strictly controlled, repaired every five years, built every ten years, the attainments of these ships are exquisite, the process is complicated, and the wooden boats of more than ten zhang can be repaired with wood.

Su Yang is now on a passenger ship.

The environment is worse than that of the official ship, the price is cheaper than the official ship, there are mixed men and women in the large cabin, and there is just a partition in the middle, Su Yang bought the head cabin, but the overall environment is not much better.

Lao Jun has been working on the ship for many years, and now he is also familiar with sitting on the passenger ship, and he is busy before and after, and from time to time he has to send tea to Suyang, the first time he does this kind of business, his enthusiasm is quite high, in contrast, the rest of the crew are lazy and lazy, and they can't raise much energy at all.

Su Yang lay in the cabin until it was close to evening, before he woke up from his meditation, got up from the cabin, his eyes were bright, his bearing was leisurely, and after closing the hatch, he came all the way to the deck.

At that time, the sky was dusk and the twilight smoke was everywhere, Su Yang saw that the boats on the canal were gathering, and the speed was slow, so he didn't care, and was ready to wait until it was darker again, and quietly leave the boat.

Now there are a lot of people standing on the deck, most of them are men, and the women who came out of the cabin are also gray-haired and slim old women, at this time they don't care much about the difference between men and women, and they are safe when they go out, and they will not incur the danger of being rude.

"Our whole village was lost because of that fire......

A man in his forties sat on the deck and said to the people next to him: "Now I will take the family's meager property, my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my son to Jinhua to join my uncle's house. ”

"I see......"

"This candle must be guarded against. ”

The people on board were deeply sympathetic to this one man's affairs.

"What about you, I've been hearing a cough from your side......"

"I took my mother-in-law to Jinhua to see a doctor, and she saw a lot of doctors in Hangzhou, but she didn't get better. ”

Another person said: "We heard that there is a doctor in Jinhua who saves people with clever hands and cures the disease, so we took my mother-in-law to see it." ”

"Isn't there a Dr. Chen in Hangzhou, who is very powerful? I heard that as long as the money is enough, he can treat any disease. ”

The name of Dr. Chen in Hangzhou is still widely spread.

"Fart!"

The man said indignantly: "I took a few medicines at his place, but there was no improvement, and when we went to him again, he actually brought a bowl of water, and I don't know what god he worshipped, so he muttered to himself there, prayed for a long time, and then asked my mother-in-law to drink the water, and after drinking it, it didn't work, and I took a lot of money from my family in vain, and now with this money, it is enough to run to Jinhua......"

When he was complaining about Dr. Chen, a two- or three-year-old child ran to the front, stretched out his hand and pulled this person, who said goodbye to the people around him and returned to the cabin first.

Everyone has everyone's misfortune, and everyone's happiness......

Su Yang inexplicably appeared in his heart and couldn't help laughing.

"Sir, this is a freshly made fish. ”

Lao Jun saw Su Yang standing on the deck in front of him, and hurriedly brought over a fish.

Su Yang saw that this fish was fried on top of the iron sheet, golden on both sides, full of oil, it looked very appetizing, nodded and took the plate, Lao Jun hurriedly sent the rice to Su Yang, Su Yang also sat on the front of the deck, fished with rice, looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and ate it comfortably.

The fish is crispy, the rice is refreshing, and the taste is not excellent, but it does have a unique flavor.

"I've been on a fishing boat for so many years, and the best thing I know is this grilled fish. ”

Lao Jun saw Su Yang's fragrant food, and said on the side: "It's just that when I was grilling fish at home, I was reluctant to put oil, but now I have come to this passenger ship, and I don't feel distressed when I use oil." ”

This is the difference between the public and the home.

Su Yang chuckled.

"It's so fragrant......"

A Taoist priest wearing a gossip robe, about fifty years old, with an untidy appearance and a gourd hanging from his waist, walked to the top of the deck, saw Su Yang who was eating here, so he walked to Su Yang's side, stretched out his hand and came up to serve the fish.

Su Yang stretched out his hand to end the fish, easily let the Taoist priest pass, put the fish in front of a few children on the deck, and said with a smile: "It's greedy, you can eat it." ”

When the children saw Su Yang and let them eat, they didn't care whether the adults around them agreed or not, they tore it directly, a few people took a handful, and Su Yang didn't move a few chopsticks for the whole fish, so he gave these children a handful.

"You, prepare such a fish for Dao Ye!"

Seeing that the fish was gone, the Taoist priest reached out and grabbed Lao Jun's collar, and his words were very arrogant.

"This fish is on our boat for money. ”

Lao Jun saw this Taoist priest and hurriedly replied: "If the Taoist wants to eat, as long as you pay, we will prepare it for you immediately." ”

They can manage all the grain, rice, fish and meat on this boat, but they just pay for food, which is justified.

"Why didn't he pay for it?"

The Taoist priest pointed at Su Yang, and said dissatisfied with Lao Jun: "I heard it clearly inside, you gave him this fish, so if you can give it to him, can't you give it to Dao Ye?"

This Taoist priest spoke a little unreasonably.

"This is what I did, I have a treat. ”

Lao Jun saw the Taoist priest pointing at Su Yang and said, "This gentleman has a great favor to me, I just repay it a little, and I have no friendship with you, the Taoist leader......

Lao Jun felt helpless about this kind of stubborn Taoist priest, so he could only know it with affection and tell him to be polite.

"Bullshit!"

When the Taoist priest heard Lao Jun say these words, he scolded and screamed, and the hand holding Lao Jun's collar in his hand loosened, and at the same time pushed back, until Lao Junzhen staggered back, and when he was about to fall, Su Yang reached out and held Lao Jun's back, and never let Lao Jun fall.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The Taoist stepped on the deck, one step at a time, extremely heavy, each step made the ship sway left and right, a few steps in a row, the Taoist priest was already standing at the bow of the ship, so left and right two feet forced, until the whole ship shook left and right in a panic, the people in the panicked cabin ran outside in a panic, and they all looked at the Taoist priest standing on the bow of the boat.

"Daoye!

The owner of the passenger ship hurriedly ran out of the cabin, and when he came to the front, he kept pretending, and said: "Master Dao, if we have a place that can't accommodate you, please say it directly, we must correct it, don't shake the plank, there are more than 50 people on our ship, once the ship capsizes, we will all die and have no place to be buried!"

The river is turbulent, the water sounds and turns into the air, at this time if people fall into, no matter how good the water nature can not be exerted, it has always been on the river, the boat destroys and kills countless things, the boatman is also well versed in these truths, so he saw that the Taoist priest has the ability to do magic powers, and he shook the boat here to make waves, and quickly ran out to stop it.

"There's nothing you can't stand up to me. ”

The Taoist priest stood in front of the deck and said leisurely: "It's me who can't think of it... I don't want to live anymore..."

"Michicho~Michicho~"

The boss's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at the Taoist priest and said: "I knelt down for you, please accept the supernatural powers, I remember that you want to take a boat, and I also received a few dollars of silver from you, the place you are going to should be the Lotus City in front, this is about to arrive at your home, what else do you not want to open?"

When he said this, the boss's tears were falling down.

"Why can't I think about it?"

The Taoist priest looked at the lotus city in front of him, and said: "I am practicing in the Taoist temple of Liancheng, this time when I went out, I promised our Guan Lord, I want to turn into a thousand taels of silver, and build a bridge for us in Liancheng, but now I go out, this silver is far from enough, and I have no shame to go back to face the Lord, and I have no shame to face the parents and villagers of Liancheng, so I want to die." ”

Speaking of sadness, the Taoist priest laughed.

Now the owner of the boat knows that this Taoist priest is seeking money, and he came to the bow of the ship to make so many movements, just to ask for money.

The owner of the ship turned to look at the people on the deck, and to tell the truth, the people who could be on his ship were not rich people, and if they were rich owners, they would either charter a ship by themselves or take an official ship, and would never take such a small passenger ship, and they would not be so angry.

Now that he saw the people on the ship, the owner of the ship was unbearable, turned around, looked at the Taoist priest, and said, "Daoist, how much silver do you still lack?"

"No more, no less. ”

The Taoist priest laughed and said, "If you put together all the silver on the ship, you will definitely be able to build a magnificent bridge." ”

The owner of the ship looked at the people on the deck again, and felt that he couldn't bear it, but now that he was under the eaves, it was good to be able to save his life, so he could only say helplessly: "Let's all put together the money, build a bridge, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for us......"

The people on this boat either had a fire at home and only had a little money left, or they went out to see a doctor and took life-saving money, and they all had difficulties, but they heard the conversation between the two and knew the current situation, if they didn't follow what the Taoist priest said, they were afraid that they would sink in the river now.

The people on a boat had no choice but to get together and prepare to take the money.

"You don't have to take any money. ”

Su Yang shouted: "Isn't it just to repair the bridge? I can build the bridge alone!"

Su Yang's shout stopped the movement of the people around him to collect money, looked at the Taoist priest, and said, "Daoist, where are you going to build this bridge?"

"Just fix it on this river. ”

When the Taoist priest saw what Su Yang said, he was quite displeased, stretched out his hand and pointed to the vast river in front of him, and said: "I want to build a bridge, the boat can be crossed below, and people can walk above, to communicate the north and south of Liancheng, if there is such a bridge, then I will die without regrets." ”

This water surface is vast, there are hundreds of zhang, and it is difficult to build a bridge here.

"Good!"

Su Yang agreed, and said: "It's just that I want to borrow the bones of the Taoist to make beams for this bridge, after all, the Taoist also said that after the cultivation, you will die without regrets......"
