Chapter 230: A Brief Tranquility Is Good.
Outside Jinzhou City, there are both Pengchuan ferries and ordinary ferries, and the river name corresponding to the ferry is Xisha River.
The Xisha River originates from Cuiwu Mountain, and there are many rapids and rapids in the upper reaches, and it is slightly eased when it comes to a tortuous place called Huluwan in the area of Jinzhou City.
And Huluwan is tantamount to a ghost gate in the eyes of the common people, just watching the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow can make people frightened.
Of course, not everyone avoids such an exciting experience, after all, there are thousands of strange things in the world, what kind of people don't have it, so there will also be skilled boatmen who take the risk to support the boat in this gourd bay for a while, and when they return, they will definitely gain a lot and have a lot of money.
Although the ferry port of Xisha River in Jinzhou City is not known for some reason, it has been deserted for a long time, because the vast majority of people are more willing to go to the ferry ten miles away to support the boat, rather than go through such a thrilling rapids, so the grass is overgrown and there are few personnel.
At this time, a middle-aged man in cloth and straw shoes stopped quietly in front of the old ferry and looked up at the small boat in the distance.
The river breeze was slightly cool, blowing the middle-aged man in a thin shirt, and his body became thinner and thinner.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, looked up at the sunny day, and smiled lightly.
The boat soon approached the ferry, and the man on the boat shouted in an authentic Yizhou accent, "Sir, but you want to take a boat?"
The middle-aged man beckoned, waited to board the boat, discussed the price with the boatman, and began to talk with the boatman for no more than ten taels of silver.
The boatman was willing to chat with this gentle and friendly middle-aged man, but he was a little puzzled how such a gentle teacher liked this kind of exciting and thrilling tour.
After a period of rapids, the boat gradually sailed into Hulu Bay, where the terrain was complicated, and the two stopped talking.
The boat rose and fell in the rapids, and the waves constantly splashed on the two of them, and from time to time there were reefs and sudden turns, and even the boatmen who were used to walking this section of the river were scared into a cold sweat from time to time.
Fortunately, there is no danger.
The boat sailed out of the dangerous shoal and came to a relatively stable water, the captain of the boat breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the face of the man he subconsciously defined as a teacher was calm, as if the thrill just now was just a drizzle in autumn for him, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
No wonder this gentleman dared to run here, it seems that he has seen strong winds and waves, and that is really a character who makes people give a thumbs up.
He asked with a little reverence and apprehension, "Sir, a foreigner, how many places have you been?"
The middle-aged man pursed his lips and smiled, and said good-naturedly, "It's a native of Jinzhou City, and I've been out a few times, and this time I'm from home and want to walk around." ”
The boatman laughed, "That's what you scholars said, that's called a study tour, right?"
The middle-aged man didn't nod or shake his head, "I used to walk around Jinzhou City, and the farthest place was Qiyun Mountain, and I didn't have much knowledge." ”
The boatman scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Qiyun Mountain...... Where is it?"
The middle-aged man said patiently, "It is a mountain tens of thousands of miles away from Jinzhou City, and it is not as high as the heavy mountain in the east of the city." ”
The boatman's eyes widened, and he immediately gave a thumbs up, "So far, sir, amazing." ”
The middle-aged man pursed his lips and smiled, "The boatman's one-day cruise is less than a thousand miles, day after day, but it is much more than me." ”
The boatman was a little embarrassed, "I'm just a rower, how can I compare with Mr.?"
The middle-aged man didn't care, "Which person is not one nose and two eyes, nothing can be compared." ”
The boatman was stunned for a long time, feeling sincerely afraid.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man was empathetic and went through this stubble directly, "Boatman, you are the most familiar with this area, but you know where the wine is delicious, so let me go." ”
The boatman laughed and said, "Sir, this is the right question." To say that the most fragrant must be the New Year's wine in Jinzhou City, you can smell the fragrance of wine from afar, this gentleman must know, but go forward and then go five miles away, there is an old man brewed drunk monkey wine, more fragrant than the New Year's wine, the key is not too expensive, one or two silver can beat a pound and a half of wine, reluctant to drink too much, I really can't help it, drink so a small sip, relieve the addiction to alcohol. ”
The middle-aged man smiled, "Then let's go there." ”
The boatman sighed, "It's remote there, and it's not easy to get on the boat again." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then I have to bother the boatman, why don't I invite the boatman to drink?"
The boatman said happily, "Sir is really polite. ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and looked at the surging river in the distance.
It just so happened that a big fish jumped out of the water, stirring up countless splashes and sparkling.
"Sir, how far are you going to go this time?" the boatman asked casually, knowing the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man retracted his gaze, "I may go to Luojing to have a look." ”
The boatman was surprised, "That's at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”
"It's a long way to go. The middle-aged man said softly.
The boatman looked at the thin figure of the middle-aged man, and said with some concern, "The mountain is high and the road is far away, so you have to take it easy." ”
The middle-aged man smiled lightly, "Thank you." ”
......
Even if Ning Junxi didn't trust this guy who reached out, it was undeniable that Xia Jin was very good to him.
Ning Jun was seriously injured, in Xia Jin's words, it is estimated that your kid is alive because the king of Yama dozed off and forgot to take you away. Therefore, at the beginning, Ning Jun felt black in front of him when he moved, and he was about to faint in pain, and many things were relied on by Xia Jin.
Xia Jin doesn't know how to take care of people, and he is extravagant, but he has good patience, Ning Junxi's request will always be satisfied, and it is very fast, and he doesn't care that Ning Junxi can only stay in one place for a few days, but seems to be happy to live in such a peaceful way.
Xia Jin also said to Ning Junxi, don't feel sorry for it, this has nothing to do with you. I enjoy the calm now, and I will enjoy the wind and waves in the future, and in the future, it will be worth it to go out or not.
Ning Junxi understood what he meant at the time, but he couldn't understand it, so he didn't answer.
With calendula by his side, he gave him two drops of juice to drink from time to time, Ning Junxi's injury got better quickly, which surprised Xia Jindu, and once joked, Xiao Ning, why don't you give me the little gourd, how about we write off the life-saving grace?
Ning Junxi bluntly said at the time that if the old man agreed, it didn't matter if he gave it away, it was useless for him to take it anyway.
As a result, that day, the little gourd didn't take care of Ning Junxi all day, and he didn't bite a small bite of himself to give Ning Junxi gourd juice, or the little monster took its gourd handle in front of Ning Junxi, and then tweeted for Ning Junxi to bite the little gourd, so scared that the little gourd quickly reconciled with Ning Junxi.
In the past few days, the wounds on Ning Junxi's body have gradually scabbed, and when Xia Jin goes out to look for food, he will walk around and stretch his muscles and bones appropriately.
Knowing if it was the luck of the two of them, or something else, in the past few days, there was no bad luck that the killer came to them, which made Ning Junxi wonder if the place he was in was in the Dark Canyon.
At this time, a slight rustling sound was heard in the woods.
Ning Junxi's expression instantly became vigilant.
"Boy, it's me. A dark shadow flickered out from among the trees, throwing two black clothes on the ground, "Put them on." ”
"Huh?" Ning Jun was stunned.
Xia Jin wrapped two headless garland snakes more than five feet long around his neck and threw them on the ground, "Do you want to wear that strip of cloth? ”
Ning Junxi picked up one, looked at it twice, and looked strange, "Picked it up on the dead man?"
"It's clean, or you're naked. "Xia Jin is skilled in peeling snake skin, and he doesn't have a good airway.
Ning Junxi was indeed very disgusted, but Xia Jin said this, he couldn't say anything, he put his clothes in front of his nose and sniffed it, there was a smell of sweat, and he had no choice but to put it on.
By the time he finished dressing, Xia Jin had already peeled off the snake skin, took the dagger and cut off a piece of snake meat and ate it.
"Xia Jin!" Ning Jun Xi leaned over to him and swallowed, "Can't you bake it?"
In the past few days, thanks to Xia Jin, Ning Junxi did not choose people to eat like Li Qiubai scared Ning Junxi, but it can be regarded as Ru Mao drinking blood.
Although the raw snake meat tasted slightly sweet and was not as difficult to swallow as imagined, Ning Junxi still felt disgusting and didn't want to eat it.
Xia Jin glanced at him, and then slipped another piece of snake meat into his mouth, "Boy, you still think you are a rich boy, whoever gives you so much time to roast will die." ”
Ning Junxi lowered his head and whispered, "But, don't you want to eat cooked food?"
Xia Jin sneered, "Boy, hurry up and eat, I'll take you to a place when you're done." ”
Ning Junxi looked at the snake that had not been peeled yet, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Xia Jin glanced at him, like a child, and grinned, "You bake it, just this once." ”
Ning Junxi's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Thank you." ”
"Get out of the way, Lao Tzu is straight. Xia Jin rolled his eyes angrily.
"I'm straight, too. Ning Jun piled up a bunch of dead branches and prepared to drill wood to make fire, "I have good skills, do you want to eat it?"
Xia Jin glanced at the long strip of flesh and blood in his hand, hesitated, and threw it over, "Roast it for me." ”
Ning Junxi glanced at the snake meat that had stuck a lot of fallen leaves, and glanced at Xia Jin helplessly, he didn't say anything, just poked the little monster who also disliked the raw snake meat with a dead branch.
The mob quickly chirped twice.
In the past few days, it has lost weight.
The little gourd hurriedly jumped twice, signaling to poke himself twice.
In the past few days, I have donated blood to Ning Junxi, and the smooth gourd skin of the small gourd is wilting.
Ning Junxi reached out and threw the small gourd into his pocket, "Sleep well." ”
The little gourd didn't come out of the pocket.
Waiting for Ning Junxi to make a fire, he started to barbecue, and took the time to look at the little guy in his pocket, the little gourd was sleeping soundly.
The little monster shrank at Ning Junxi's feet, dazed, and chirped softly from time to time.
Ning Jun couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
He felt that such a short period of peace was also good.
