Chapter 194: Wu Xia

After Ye Xiaochuan threw the five strong men who had bad intentions towards Baili Kite into the Yangtze River, no one on the other sailors on the ship dared to look at Baili Kite directly, because this little lady who loved to laugh said that whoever was watching her, let his capable brother gouge out whose eyeballs would be gouged out.

The next day, Ye Xiaochuan had already secured the throne of the number one master on the ship.

Ye Xiaochuan didn't care about this false name, he was a young master in the top three of Cangyunmen's fighting methods, not to mention five fat men, even if there were fifty or five hundred, he didn't care about them.

There is an insurmountable gap between mortals and cultivators, and it is not whoever has the size of a punching bag with a fist that is powerful.

The fat shopkeeper changed a clean and spacious cabin for Baili Kite, which made Baili Kite very satisfied, especially after he had two more eggs than others for breakfast the next morning, Baili Kite longed to die of old age on this merchant ship forever.

It's been ten years, it's been ten years since she left Liubo Mountain, and ten years since she left the East China Sea, so long that she almost forgot the feeling of riding a boat to break the waves.

She was a pearl diver in the East China Sea, her love for the ocean is unimaginable, these ten years in the Central Plains experience, she countless times in the midnight dream, dreamed of driving a flat boat in the sea to catch a thousand catties of sharks.

The ocean is her home.

Now far away from the ocean, the Yangtze River can also relieve some of her homesickness.

As soon as the morning dawned, the merchant ship anchored from the Fengling Ferry, and the four black-skinned men returned to the water again, riding on the underwater Nanmu, because the Nanmu was underwater, they could only see these guys rushing down like riding on the body of the underwater giant beast, which was very desirable.

Ye Xiaochuan didn't yearn for it, their kind of work should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and he would never try any work that might be harmful to his life.

He lay on the deck, looked at the four people below, and said, "Isn't it just a few pieces of wood?

Baili Kite said: "What do you know, do you know how much silver that Nanmu is worth? This kind of golden silk Nanmu is dedicated to the royal family, building palaces, and the nobles can't use golden silk Nanmu to build a house, but can only be used to make coffins, and a Nanmu coffin has been fried to a sky-high price, and money may not be able to buy it." These forty nanmu were transported to the capital, and each was worth at least 5,000 taels of silver, causing the value of the coffin to increase at least tenfold. ”

Ye Xiaochuan gasped, slapped his thigh, and said: "Yes, we can do timber business, we have the golden silk nanmu in Shu, we can set up a cutting team to transport the golden silk nanmu in Shu out, and make huge profits from it!"

Baili Kite snorted and said, "You are a cultivator, not a businessman, why do you only think about how to make a fortune?" If it weren't for the trouble of transporting it out, the golden silk nanmu in Shu would have been cut down thousands of years ago, and now it is for the royal family, and it can only be cut a few hundred at most every year, you still have the idea of playing less golden silk nanmu, yesterday at the wharf of Zephyr City, I paid attention to it, these forty golden silk nanmu were checked several times by the court officials of Zephyr City before approving the transportation, if this merchant ship is not from Princess Jinyang's family, do you think it can be transported out of Shuzhong?"

Ye Xiaochuan pursed his lips and said, "So what? Zhao Shilin is still the prince, don't you still have to call me the boss? I heard that there is a Xiuzhen Academy in the royal family, and the gentleman who teaches the schoolwork is not as good as me, whoever dares to stop me from getting rich, I will beat him! Even if it is the emperor, I don't care about it." ”

Now Ye Xiaochuan is very poor, he is really in the idea of fetching the golden silk nanmu in the water, and he is thinking of finding an opportunity to steal one, so that he does not have to go to the door with Baili Kite to pick the lock and steal things, and he can also ensure that he will eat and drink spicy food in the next half a year.

The captain of the boat shouted: "Go into the gorge ahead, everyone be careful." ”

The Great Gorge is the Wu Gorge in the poet's mouth, the river channel has narrowed, the water flow has become rapid, the peaks on both sides of the Yangtze River are stacked on top of each other, and countless strange pines and cypress old trees grow on the steep mountain rocks like roots, which is very spectacular and beautiful.

Sure enough, there was an ape roar, and there was also a tiger roar.

The cry of the ape, like a woman losing a child, came from the mountains on both sides of the strait, which was sad.

Often at this time, the overlord tiger in the mountains is not happy, and a roar will scare the complaining apes to stop crying, but soon there will be a new ape roar, and then there will be a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.

As the river narrowed, the huge merchant ship lowered its sails, and the ship's boss nervously controlled the rudder for fear of colliding with the oncoming ship.

Two mountains and a river, tortuous and meandering, Ye Xiaochuan looked at a five-tooth ship that was bigger than a merchant ship heading head-on, because the five-tooth ship was going upstream, the river water in the gorge was urgent, and hundreds of ten slender men on the cliff plank road were pulling huge ropes on their backs, pulling the five-tooth ship upstream.

Ye Xiaochuan felt fresh, and jumped up and down to Baili Kite and said, "Look, someone is pulling the boat!"

The fat shopkeeper didn't know when he walked out of the cabin, and obviously when he passed through the Baili Gorge, the shopkeeper couldn't sit still.

He heard Ye Xiaochuan's cheers, his solemn expression soothed a little, and said: "The big gorge is narrow and rugged, the current is very fast, the small boat can rely on the oars and sails to go upstream, and the big boat is difficult to go up, so it can only rely on these slender men to pull it with a rope." ”

Ye Xiaochuan said: "Shopkeeper, it seems that it is very dangerous to pull the boat." ”

The fat shopkeeper smiled slightly, and said: "This is not dangerous, young man, you look carefully, they are a group of ten people, and they are connected to their waists with ropes, and there are hook chains on the stone wall of the plank road, and the person in front will hang the rope on the waist on the iron chain of the stone wall, and there are wooden railings on the edge of the plank road, and accidents rarely occur." The most dangerous stretch of water in the Yangtze River is the reef of China, which lies in the middle of a narrow waterway, which suddenly appeared hundreds of years ago, jutting out of the water less than five feet, and I don't know how many ships are buried under that reef every year. ”

Ye Xiaochuan was a little surprised, and when he saw that the fat shopkeeper was gone, he said to Baili Kite: "Senior Sister Baili, there is a big reef on the Yangtze River that hinders the river transportation, why don't you take it away, our cultivators should take action to bulldoze it and save the water and soil, this reef has existed for hundreds of years, why don't you see the cultivators cut down the reef?"

Baili Kite looked at Ye Xiaochuan in surprise and said, "You don't know the origin of the reef where I came from?"

Ye Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Should I know?"
