Chapter 48: Snack Goods Appear
A huge iron barge steamer, parked on the bank of the river outside the west gate of the mountain city, the building ship has three floors, the hull is more than 60 meters wide and nearly 10 zhang, it is not luxurious from a distance but it is extraordinary.
Chen Chucai, under the guidance of a deacon of Lancang County, boarded the big boat, listened to the deacon's gossip along the way, and learned that the third son, Jin Yanxi, had set off for Yuezhou City two days in advance.
Standing on the bow of the boat to inspect left and right, Chen Chucai heard a rude reprimand: "That little hunter, what are the thieves and rats doing? ”
On the deck of the iron ship, there were several armor-clad guards, and it was they who roared out.
Seeing this, the deacon of the county government hurriedly stepped forward, handed over a heavy bag, and after saying a few words, a commander-like military general waved his hand and said: "There is a small room in the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship, go down and stay by yourself, and you can't go up to the deck to make noise if you have nothing to do." Annoyed the nobles upstairs, they sink you to the bottom of the river to feed the fish. ”
Chen Chucai looked at the momentum of the guard's command, and saw that he was just a wolf Wuji who he killed, obviously just a seventh- or eighth-order warrior, but he was arrogant?
Phew....... What a dog looks down on people, a broken iron ship, what's so strange!
The young man couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart, but he thought that he had something to ask for and it was inconvenient to make extraneous branches, so he walked out of the cabin as he said.
In fact, it is no wonder that there are guards on the ship, Chen Chucai is still wearing the shorts of the Flying Barbarian Leather Eggplant, and there is a stone axe stuck in his waist, just like a hunter woodcutter.
At the moment, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the big boat on the river moved slowly, turning the bow on the river, and then going up the river and breaking the water, and the speed became fast in an instant.
"The ships of the high-martial world, this technical content is not low, and they actually know how to drive firepower!"
Chen Chucai walked out of the small room in the bilge, looked around, and saw a strange big stove standing at the bottom of the boat, with red flames burning in the furnace, and the four strong men kept putting dry firewood and charcoal into it.
The raging fire erupted a force that pushed the iron gears above the furnace to rotate, and the gears carried a huge ship to turn over the water, like a waterwheel, propelling the big ship forward, and the captain only had to take the helm and control the direction.
This design is really incredible, no wonder the boat is so fast, the boy can't help but be amazed.
Like a prisoner along the way, Chen Chucai didn't bother to see the face of a guard on the deck, so he stayed in the bilge. Through the window, he could sense the speed of the iron barge steamer traveling hundreds of miles a day, and it was getting closer and closer to Yuezhou City.
The boy didn't know that the land trip to Yuezhou was only a thousand miles away, and to take the waterway, the boat had to pass through the upper reaches of the Lancang River, and then turn to the artificial Grand Canal, which had a lot of twists and turns around the mountains and waters, so it was close to 2,000 miles, and only half of the five days had passed.
The bilge space is too small, so that he can't open the fist and foot knife technique, Chen Chucai pondered the "Bugang Twelve Styles" without anything, and walked in a circle around the stove, and the "Bugang" pile momentum has never stopped.
It's a pity that the "Blood and Qi Induction" pills have been exhausted, and Chen Chucai left two as a sevent, and he can only sit and breathe according to the "Yu Bugang Fighting Technique" every day, regulate the essence of the body, and constantly familiarize himself with the operation and changes of the blood and qi force.
Fortunately, the steward of the ship still remembered the people entrusted by Lancang County, and sent people to bring food and drinking water every day, but Chen Chucai did not go hungry. It's just that the vegetarian rice makes the teenager who is growing his body how to eat enough?
In the dead of night that day, Chen Chucai's stomach "gurgled", he woke up hungry from sleep, got up out of the small room bored, and saw the red fire in the bilge.
This time on a boat trip, the reborn boy learned a lot to behave, and he purchased oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and spiced chili peppers to take with him. All kinds of seasonings are sprinkled, and the advanced tiger meat is grilled with oil, which is one word - "fragrant"!
Just as he was feeling comfortable, Chen Chucai's ears moved, and he heard the sound of tiptoeing footsteps, and then saw a figure walking down the bilge.
By the light of the fire, it can be seen that it is a twelve or thirteen-year-old young man in Tsing Yi, with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a little baby fat face, and a pair of big eyes staring at the barbecue grill, which seems to be interesting.
The young man in Tsing Yi had bulging cheeks, a sliver of osmanthus cake hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't have time to stop, so he took out a piece of food from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
In this way, there will be no interlude for that lovely cheek to not bulge.
Uh.......hhh Where did the starving ghost come from to be reincarnated, hungry more pitifully than Chen in the middle of the night?
Chen Chucai looked at it, and suddenly his heart was numb, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
Just because the young man inadvertently straightened his chest and reached out to pat his chest, the tight placket on his chest suddenly revealed the scenery down his neck, which was a spectacular!
Poor students went to Beijing to catch the exam, and the fox met in the middle of the night, and in the final ending, the scholar lost his spirit and died of emaciation....... This young man in Tsing Yi is clearly a woman in disguise, and I, Chen Chucai, am the young man who went to Yuezhou to take the exam!
Chen, who actually encountered such a bloody incident?
"You little hunter, you make a good barbecue, can you let me eat a few slices of barbecue?"
The young man in Tsing Yi seemed to be choking, picked up his own kettle and poured a big mouthful, his breathing seemed to be smooth, and then he spoke.
"You...... Haven't you eaten enough? Ben Shao is full of rage, and he is not afraid of any ghosts. ”
Chen Chucai hurriedly retracted his gaze, but he didn't dare to have any evil thoughts and reverie, and couldn't help but move a few steps towards the fire, wanting to use the heat of the fire to suppress the fox charm.
"Phew........ Stinky Orion, who are you talking about?"
The young man in Tsing Yi glanced at Chen Chucai with slanted eyes, a pair of peach-like narrow eyes, and the tails of her eyes were slightly upturned, making her naturally like a young fox.
This time, the fox boy was much more subtle, his cheeks were no longer so exaggerated, he lowered his head and took small bites, and from time to time he made a sound of "tsk", as if he was amazed.
"You're welcome, girl, just enjoy it slowly, be careful not to choke!"
Chen Chucai smiled awkwardly, and he didn't dare to move his steps.
"Little Orion, you actually saw the details of my son? ”
The young man in Tsing Yi seemed to be relieved, and his true nature was immediately revealed after eating, and he stuffed the meat slices into it in a big gulp, and it took him a long time to burp and say with a smile: "I ate a delicious barbecue, and the little hunter contributed a lot." From tomorrow onwards, you can go out on deck and have meat in your meals. ”
Belch.........
All of a sudden, the bitter boy was stunned again.
It's a false alarm!
It turns out that this greedy girl is not a fox charm, it seems that the master of the iron barge ship can speak?
Chen Chucai was wondering to himself, when he saw the young man in Tsing Yi pour a few more big sips of tea, and then twisted his waist and walked up the bilge stairs, and disappeared in an instant.
