Chapter 193: Departure
Ye Xiaochuan stood on the deck with a golden knife, shouting at Liba, who was carrying a horse of silk cloth and silk on the boat, and the fox's fake tiger and villain's face were vividly displayed by him.
As the useless sister of this villain, Baili Kite is much simpler, and sits on the deck, and the old god leaves the dock after waiting for the cargo ship to be loaded.
Ye Xiaochuan is a self-cooked, and he basically grasped the general situation of the ship before the ship left the dock.
This cargo merchant ship belongs to the Jinyang business, and the big proprietor behind it seems to be the princess of Jinyang, and his identity as Zhao Shilin, his sworn friend in Cangyunmen, is relatively special, Ye Xiaochuan knows that Zhao Shilin is a prince, and this Jinyang princess should be Zhao Shilin's aunt.
Now Ye Xiaochuan regrets it very much, he has no experience in going down the mountain, if he asks Zhao Shilin for a death-free gold medal before going down the mountain, isn't this world going sideways?
This time, the merchant ships came to buy silk, tea and nanmu, and Nanmu Ye Xiaochuan knew that either the royal people used a nanmu or overstepped the system, and only the royal people could blatantly transport nanmu.
Silk and Nanmu are both loaded in the West Wind City, tea needs to go to Junshan in Dongting Lake, this merchant ship will be loaded with silk and Nanmu this afternoon, it will go down the Yangtze River, and three days later will turn into the Xiang River into Dongting Lake.
Stay at the wharf at the foot of Jun Mountain in Dongting Lake for about three days, drive east along Dongting Lake for three days, enter the Yangtze River from Bali Bay again, and finally go north along the North-South Grand Canal, and enter the capital from Huaishui and Huangyan River to sell and sell.
Almost all the merchants are rushing to transport the goods out before the arrival of the peach blossom flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time transport the grain from the north to the mountainous areas of the Great South, almost all the waterways in the Central Plains are busy, the water transport of the Yellow River in the north, the water transport from Bohai Bay to the Qiantang River in the east, the water transport of the Grand Canal in the Central Plains, and the water transport of the Yangtze River are all staged a scene of thousands of sails competing for the current.
That is, in this environment, a good dart master is really hard to find, so Ye Xiaochuan was invited on the boat by the shopkeeper without much effort, Ye Xiaochuan didn't need to be paid, just eat and live in a separate cabin for his beautiful sister, this kind of good thing The shopkeeper will never miss it.
The merchant ship set sail before dusk, and Ye Xiaochuan stood on the deck and looked at the bundles of nanmu dragged behind the ship, with a somewhat strange expression.
In the Yangtze River, a single log may not pose much danger to sailing, and it is common to see floating logs flowing down the river.
But ten nanmu are tied together, it's different, no matter how big the ship hits, it is estimated that a ship will be destroyed and killed.
Because it is very dangerous, there is a shirtless and black-skinned man riding on the top of each bundle of nanmu, which is used to indicate that there is wood under the water of the boat behind.
Ye Xiaochuan had never swam in the water, watching those men riding on Nanmu and being dragged down the river by the boat, he felt panicked, this is simply a matter of grass and human life, even if those black-skinned men have good water quality, but in this rolling Yangtze River, if they fall into the water, there is basically no way to live.
He frowned and said, "Aren't these people afraid of death?"
Baili Kite said: "This is the world, this is the mortal dust we have to experience." โ
Ye Xiaochuan didn't understand.
Baili Kite said: "I used to think that the world was prosperous, the red dust is full of dust, even if it is the small people in the market every day is also singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death, but I really came to the Central Plains, came into contact with many people, only to find that the original red dust world is not as beautiful as I thought, for a bite to eat, many people can only use their lives to fight, the rich and noble are only a few people." โ
Ye Xiaochuan was speechless, because he was exactly the same as Baili Kite before, before going down the mountain, he heard those senior brothers and sisters who had gone down the mountain tell how prosperous and beautiful the world was, but now it seems that he probably thought wrong.
It is very dangerous to sail on the Yangtze River at night, not only the current is very turbulent, but the fog will rise on the wide river surface, and the lanterns alone cannot make the ships in front and behind and left and right avoid, so they sing.
The boat boss and a few swarthy men sang a walking song, singing loudly, piercing through the fog, and soon a song would be heard in the fog, and then the boat boss began to turn the rudder to avoid the other party's ships.
Some poets describe this Yangtze River: between the white emperor and the colorful clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains.
You need to borrow the wind to paddle against the current, but you don't have to say anything about going downstream.
Just one word, fast.
There is no need to open the mainsail at all, only open a small sail to borrow the wind, and the ship is like an arrow from the string, running fast.
At dusk, the merchant ships departed from the wharf of Zephyr City, and by the second watch day, they were already hundreds of miles away from Zephyr City.
The boss of the boat finally gave the order to anchor and anchored at Fengling Ferry, because the waterway in front will be very narrow, and there are three dangerous places in Wuxia, Huyue Gorge and Longwang Gorge.
The fat shopkeeper really met Ye Xiaochuan's request, and prepared a very narrow cabin for Baili Kite, and after Baili Kite entered, he covered his nose and ran to the deck panting.
It was so dirty and messy that she would rather sit on the deck with the night breeze and watch the stars move on the Milky Way than spend a few more moments in the stuffy and smelly cabin.
It's just that such a delicate and charming cute person is with a group of shirtless stinky men.
There is not only Ye Xiaochuan, a sailor escort on the ship, but at least twenty or thirty black-skinned brothers, who have boarded this ship from Baili Kite, and have never stopped peeking at this peerless beauty with a pair of thief eyes.
Everyone inquired clearly, that plump and beautiful little lady was the sister of that boy, and she was boring on the boat, so she had to have some fun.
It is said that there are heroes every year, and there is no shortage of them this year.
A black-skinned man who thought he was a good man walked up to Baili Kite with the courage to break the bridge of the thin boy's nose with a punch, and then he could drink with this boy's beautiful fairy-like sister, and maybe do something else.
This black-skinned man was very brave, and as a result, a second black-skinned man came up, and there were five black-skinned men giggling and talking about meat.
Not far away, the boss of the boat and the fat shopkeeper who pressed the ship were watching with lanterns and did not come over.
The pretty little lady didn't move, just sat barefoot on the deck and squinted at the five perverts in front of her, no, five dogs to be exact. Then he whispered a few words to the powerful boy beside him.
The skinny boy jumped up, and before he could finish his dog-beating stick technique, the five black-skinned men were all thrown into the icy Yangtze River, and when they were fished up, they still had half a life left.
The fat shopkeeper smiled toothlessly, he didn't care about the sailor guards fighting on the ship, what he cared about was that this young man named Xiao Ye had a good skill.
