Chapter 262: Ghost Jump
Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the words with the other.
When more than a dozen big coins were in the bag, Chen Tang felt a sense of relaxation in his heart. Although he knows the value of these words, if he can't meet a buyer who knows the goods, the value is naturally impossible to talk about.
Besides, it's still in the Jiangnan region. The Jiangnan literary style has always been prosperous, with rich pen and ink, and there are not a few works containing literary atmosphere. In terms of market, it is naturally different from Panzhou. However, now it seems that the quality of Chen Tang's works is still excellent in this regard.
This can also be intuitively felt. Under the perception of heaven and man, the words are full of literary atmosphere and clear.
I have money in my pocket, I don't panic, and I don't have to worry too much about the food and drink along the way. Jiang Wei has already spoken, as long as Chen Tang still writes literary works, he can directly sell them to him.
This is equivalent to getting a long-term meal ticket.
For others, it is not easy to write a work that blends scenes and is brilliant, and you have to rack your brains. But this, for Chen Tang, is much simpler. He has already understood the trick and mastered the routine.
Of course, it doesn't mean that it can be mass-produced, but it has advantages that others can't match.
Jiang Wei took the poem, turned around and left.
This matter spread quickly, and the eyes of everyone looking at Chen Tang were a little different.
Where does Chen Tang care about this, it is the king to hurry up and eat.
Another day, when he came to the deck again, wanting to look at the scenery and look for inspiration, he found that someone on the deck had also set up a stall and sold words. In the past, I saw that the writing was okay, and the poems on it were also brilliant and gorgeous. The problem is that they are just ordinary works that don't have any breath. It is like a shell without a soul, destined to be unattended.
The mystery of the breath was already circulating in a small circle, and people outside, including many scholars and scholars, did not know about it.
Chen Tang glanced at it, didn't say a word, and went sightseeing by the railing.
The speed of the merchant ship varies according to the condition of the river, sometimes the wind is smooth, the sail is full, and it seems very fast, like an arrow from the string, but sometimes, when it comes to the complex section of the water, the speed of the ship will slow down.
The river is one of the most dangerous rivers in the world, and there are many dangerous waters. The ship is not big enough, the helm is not experienced enough, and it is difficult to get down. It is said that on land, passing through barren mountains and mountains, there are many dangers, but in fact, in the rivers and seas, it is even more dangerous, and it is not safe to live.
As it gradually moves away from the boundary of Ningzhou, the climate is getting colder and colder. Every morning, there was frost on the deck boats. Although the water does not freeze, it also has a significant impact on merchant ships.
At noon one day, Jiang Wei specially sent someone to gather everyone together, explaining that tomorrow the merchant ships would enter a water area called "Ghost Jumping Stream", and the water flow was rapid. At that time, the merchant ship will be quite bumpy, so everyone should be careful, stay in the cabin, and don't go outside. So as not to cause accidents and even shake people into the water.
He said it solemnly, and everyone promised it. It is a matter of one's own life and family, and it should not be underestimated.
Traveling by boat is by no means an easy and pleasant thing, especially if you travel long distances, it can be very tiring.
Thanks to Chen Tang's enough kung fu to nourish his qi, he can behave calmly and relaxed. However, the many inconveniences in life still bring a lot of troubles. If nothing else, it's not easy to take a shower. Fortunately, it is already winter, and if it is summer and autumn, it is really unbearable.
The first time he took a boat to the water, he didn't know where the ghost jumped into the stream. But as the name suggests, it should not be a good place. If you want to make a comparison, those famous rivers and gorges in another time and space can be used as a reference.
Chen Tang is very human and doesn't care much.
The next day, however, when the time came, he sat in the cabin. When the first wave of bumps comes, then the second wave ......
Wave after wave......
Chen Tang actually felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and the taste was really sour. Yesterday, Jiang Wei also mentioned that there are many reefs in this water. At this time, he could only secretly hope that he would not hit the rocks.
He was still comforting in the cabin, and some of the passengers in the other rooms were embarrassed. Hurry up to the floor and grab something so that it doesn't get shaken and hit the wall. Many people's faces turned pale and they vomited directly.
Today's weather is also very bad, the wind is blowing, the clouds are low, and it seems that rain and snow are coming.
The speed of merchant ships has been put to the slowest level, but under the influence of wind and waves, it is difficult to control steadily.
Chen Tang could imagine what kind of situation the lowest boatmen were.
Babbling babbling!
The whole ship was rocking, and there was a tooth-aching sound in many places, which made people worry that the ship would be shaken apart.
Chen Tang frowned, and suddenly worried about the rouge horse that was staying below.
On the ship, horses and livestock were placed in a place at the lowest level, and the conditions were not good, but it could only be arranged in this way.
Although Rouge is a horse demon, his bearing capacity is by no means extraordinary, but ......
After thinking about it, Chen Tang didn't go out. In this case, there is nothing you can do to go down. According to Jiang Wei, it will take more than an hour to cross this water. When the boat is stable, let's go and see it.
"Yu!"
In the stable on the ground floor, the rouge horse was standing there with his eyes closed. He behaved very differently from other horses, and when the storm hit and the boat jolted, some of the horses began to neigh in panic. If they hadn't been tethered tightly, the horses would have run away.
And the rouge horse stood firmly, and its four hooves seemed to have taken root, as if they had not been affected much.
But suddenly, the demon opened his eyes, and his big ears were straight up, as if listening to something. Then he began to become restless and, like any other horse, began to neigh.
If Chen Tang was here, it would be easy to hear that this was a warning message, not a sign of fright.
In the cabin on the second floor, Jiang Wei sat inside, but not at the top. On the main seat, there sat a white-haired old man.
The boat was unpeaceful, and Jiang Wei said with some worry: "Third uncle, you?"
The old man glanced at him: "What are you worried about? I don't know how many times I've been here with this ghost jumping stream." Although he is old now, this old bone is still fine. ”
Jiang Wei smiled and said no more.
The old man said again: "It's the words you bought that day, have you ever touched the details of the scholar?"
Jiang Wei shook his head: "Not for the time being." ”
The old man said leisurely: "Those words, to be sure, are all newly written, so it is not simple. ”
"Maybe he's so talented. ”
Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment and said.
The old man was just about to say something.
With a bang, the merchant ship, which had been jolting heavily, suddenly stopped. From movement to stillness, two completely different states, it seems very strange.
Whether it was the old man or Jiang Wei, their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
Knock knock!
A man hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Master, just now a boatman saw that there was an unknown thing in the river, more than ten zhang long, and the shape was very hideous......
