The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Du Shenfei woke up the calf and got up first, said goodbye to Shi Luoyi, got on the horse, crossed the Tiger Wolf Valley and Liushui, and came to the gate of the Great Ancestor Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was already a person who saw Du Shenfei and the others, hurriedly trotted over, hugged his fists and said: "I am in charge of the subordinates outside the staff, and the cheap name Wang Deba, on the orders of the outsiders, went to Guangnan East Road with the two young heroes." Along the way, please ask the two young heroes to take care of them a lot. ”

Du Shenfei saw that this person was in his forties, slightly fat, and had two handfuls of mustaches on his pumpkin-like round face, and he also hugged his fists and said: "It's easy to say! Everything is arranged by Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Deba hurriedly went in and informed the great-ancestor hall, and the great-ancestor hall came out, and he was happy in his heart. Meals have already been arranged. At that moment, everyone, together with Du Shenfei, Niu Lixian, and Wang Deba, a total of more than 150 people, ate and drank enough, bid farewell to the Great Ancestor Palace, and set off to the south.

Zengzu Dian explained to Du Shenfei again: "Brother Xiao Du, this time, it should be a waterway to land, and a return land to water, and the cars needed have been prepared on the three big boats in the river, and the silver two have also been moved on the boat." Thank you for your hard work all the way!"

Du Shenfei boasted about Haikou, comforted the great-ancestor hall and said: "Don't worry about it, I will wait for the success of the horse and never delay things." ”

The great-grandfather hall was overjoyed when he heard it.

Everyone shouted, Wang Deba took the lead, Du Shenfei carried the scorching sun and dark cloud knife, the calf first carried the Buddha disc wheel axe, followed closely, followed by the one hundred and fifty or so buffalo-like sturdy men, very reliable labor, mighty, came to the port of Xiangjiang, sure enough, there were three big ships, the hull was more than ten zhang long, towering and tall, the head was small and the bottom was pointed, which was convenient for breaking the waves to move forward; the hull was flat and wide, not afraid of strong winds, walking steadily, and the hull had a sealed compartment. The bottom plate and side panels are three-plate structures, and there are many sails hung from them.

The interior has a watertight chamber structure. It is divided into three cabins, the first cabin is equipped with stove water tanks, the middle cabin is divided into four rooms, and the rear cabin is more than one zhang high, and there are windows on the four walls. Hundreds of Taiping cars were neatly arranged and covered with bamboo canopies.

Du Shenfei and the calf first led the horses to the boat, everything was arranged, only to hear the loud shouts of those boatmen, started the big boat, along the Xiangjiang waterway, against the current to the south.

Before I walked half an hour, I saw a big boat on the opposite side going down the river, and the flag was written with four big black characters of "Fang Qingshan Villa".

The calf first had sharp eyes, pointed to a person sitting on the boat opposite, and said to Du Shenfei: "Big brother, isn't that Duan Hanyan?" Du Shenfei saw it, and it was indeed Duan Hanyan.

The calf let go of his throat first and shouted, "Xiao Duan, we are here." ”

When he heard the shouting, he saw that it was Du Shenfei and the calf first, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't need to get close, let alone stop the boat, he volleyed up from the deck of the ship, jumped over like a goshawk, and landed lightly on Du Shenfei's boat, laughing and said: "Brother Du, Brother Niu, where are you going?"

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "Xiao Duan, the two of us saw that Zeng was a benevolent and charitable person, and he gave relief to the people in the city, because there were many robbers along the way, I am afraid that something will happen again." He helped him go to Guangzhou City, which is under Guangnan East Road, to purchase quilts and clothes to help the people in the city spend the winter. ”

Duan Hanyan listened, and said with joy: "Since you go to such a far away place for business, I have never been far away since I grew up until now, and I am fortunate to meet today, and I will accompany you on this trip, see the scenery along the way, and appreciate the customs of a foreign land." The little brother can still help a little on the way, I don't know if Brother Du is willing?"

Du Shenfei listened to it and said happily: "If I can get you to go with me, it can really be described as a tiger with wings, and it is foolproof." It's just that if you go with us like this, your parents will inevitably be worried, and your brother must go and explain it to you. ”

When Duan Hanyan heard this, he jumped over again, got on his boat, and instructed the family on the boat to inform his parents about going to Guangzhou with his friends, at least in 20 days, and at most in a month. The advice was over, and he jumped over again.

That light work, like a milk swallow piercing the clouds, is rare in the rivers and lakes.

Because there was Wang Deba, the supervisor, Du Shenfei did not dare to make a claim, and came to discuss with him again.

Wang Deba heard that it was the third young master of Fangqingshanzhuang, the ancestral swordsmanship of this family, which was famous in Huguang and shook the rivers and lakes, and he was also very happy, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

The boat went against the current, but it was windy.

Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, Niu Lixian, Wang Deba and others drank and laughed on the boat, stayed at dawn at night, passed through Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Hengzhou Hengshan County, all the way was smooth, and there was no major event, and came to Hengyang.

Wang Deba said: "The three young heroes, and they like to get here from the Tanzhou waterway, all the way is smooth and nothing happens." It's just that when I arrived in Hengyang, I didn't dare to be arbitrary, I don't know which way a few young heroes think it's better to go?"

Du Shenfei said: "Mr. Wang, we are all people who have never been far away. You are familiar with the road, how many roads are there to get to Guangzhou from here, and what is the way to go?"

Wang Debadao: "The first road is to take the land route directly from Hengyang to Guangzhou, passing through Leiyang, Yongxing, Chenzhou, Yizhang, Lechang, Qujiang on the way, and then passing through Yingde Mansion to Guangzhou. This road is a big road, spacious and easy to walk. It's just that it's hard to walk so far and push the cart. ”

Du Shenfei said: "What about the second way, how to go way?"

Wang Deba recalled a little: "This road is, along the river to the Guiyang Army, and then walk to the Chenzhou Road, although this section of the road is not far, but here are all steep paths, people are also difficult to walk, pushing the car may be difficult to walk." ”

Du Shenfei asked, "Mr. Wang, is there any other good way?"

Wang Debadao: "There is another one, that is, from here, continue to sail along the Leishui to Leiyang, to Yongzhou, and then to Chenzhou." In the overland route from Chenzhou to Guangzhou. Just sailing along the water, after the section of the fertile water, one spring, I took a boat outside the entourage to pass here, the sand and mud rose sharply, the river became shallow, a little difficult to walk. But now in the fall, it is not expected to be prevented. ”

Du Shenfei groaned and said, "If we all take an empty road, we won't move things." You can go either way. It's just that a lot of things are procured at that time, and it takes labor to travel long distances. In my opinion, from here, we will go south along Leishui until Chenzhou, and then take the land route. What does Mr. Wang think?"

Wang Deba said: "What Du Shaoxia said is exactly what I thought. That's how to go. At that time, let the boat wait in Chenzhou, and we all walked to Guangzhou. ”

When Wang Deba's command was finished, the boat came south along the river again.

At that time, the autumn was high and cool, the scenery along the way was beautiful, and I saw from afar that on the flat ground, there were countless stone mountains of all sizes lined up, the color was like Wodan, brilliant as the bright glow, the lines were clear; the root sat on the earth, the top was connected to the heart of heaven; the thickness of the top and bottom was uniform, the lonely ridge was steep, the cliff was hanging in the air, and it was about to tilt toward; the top of the mountain was flat, the vine was wrapped around the trees, and the clouds covered the fog. Thousands of peaks compete for the show, and thousands of ravines compete for the stream. Everyone watched in unison.

Duan Hanyan was even more happy that he only hated that he didn't know how to be danqing, otherwise he would draw a long picture of this splendid river and mountain, hang it on the wall, and enjoy it day and night.
