Qin Jian was already sitting under a tree on the ditch beam of the official road, the horses were leisurely grazing not far away, Yan Xiaojun was also sitting under the tree, the smug smile on his face did not retreat, he deliberately looked at the official road, did not meet Qin Jian's eyes, but glanced at Qin Jian from time to time.

Qin Jian knew that it was hopeless to ride with Yan Xiaojun, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore, this was on the official road, and there were more fish and animal husbandry merchants going west and east, and the business was nothing more than a cart pulling horses, and when he went, the carriage and horses were tired, and when he returned, it was the unique toil of the package, but no one unloaded the grind and killed the donkey and took the horse cart to fill the pockets, but as long as the money was abundant, it was extremely simple to buy a businessman's horse or sit on a cart, so Qin Jian no longer bothered about the hurry.

After a long rest, Qin Jian didn't let Yan Xiaojun go first this time, Yan Xiaojun looked at Qin Jian, who was a little anxious to stop him, and laughed.

Qin Jian smiled bitterly, it was he who was too careful, Yan Xiaojun didn't plan to leave first this time, no matter what Yan Xiaojun said, he wouldn't really make himself tired and half dead, he might have already made up his mind to wait for himself to buy a horse at a high price on the official road, this road of less than twenty miles of running is not exhausting, people have long known.

Qin Jian looked at Yan Xiaojun, who was laughing a lot and talking less along the way, a different feeling faintly surfaced in his heart, Yan Xiaojun smiled at him again when he was distracted and in a daze, took the horse and walked straight to the front, Qin Jian was dragged by Yan Xiaojun's figure and also went to the official road.

The sun is hanging high, and there are fewer pedestrians on the official road, so how anxious it is to go out at noon! Occasionally, passers-by are just like Qin Jian and them, heading towards a goal not far away.

Yan Xiaojun let the horse walk forward leisurely, not to urge, Qin Jian also rode the horse that he bought not long ago, followed behind, crossed the stone drum and Xiaguan Road, and not long after going to the northeast, he was already in the warehouse realm, and then went to the waterway for more than ten miles, and Peach Blossom Island was also on this boundless lake, so Qin Jian wanted to let the horse rest again, and when it was tired next time, it would already be on the lake, and then Yan Xiaojun's trip had also reached the ground, and he couldn't let Yan Xiaojun stay here alone.

Qin Jian slowly caught up from behind, riding side by side with Yan Xiaojun, Yan Xiaojun looked at him, and then looked ahead, Qin Jian smiled, and then said, "The front is Cangfang Town." ”

Qin Jian wanted to know that Yan Jun was going to stay, but he ordered this sentence first, but Yan Xiaojun didn't know what he meant, and then said, "I know." ”

Yan Xiaojun had no follow-up, and Qin Jian had no choice but to ask again: "The warehouse has arrived, do you want to stay?"

Yan Xiaojun looked at Qin Jian with a sideways face, and said with some confusion: "What are you staying for?"

Qin Jian was stunned, and after a pause, he said, "Aren't you coming to the warehouse?"

Seeing Qin Jian's puzzled look, Yan Xiaojun smiled and continued, "Yes, I'm going to find someone in the lake." ”

Qin Jian looked at Yan Xiaojun and asked with some curiosity, "Friend?"

Yan Xiaojun shook his head and said, "No, ask him to borrow something." ”

Qin Jian only now felt that he and Yan Xiaojun had chatted along the way, and had never talked about the specific location and purpose of the trip.

Qin Jian will definitely know what he needs to know, and Qin Jian, who doesn't need to know, will not deliberately seek answers, so he knows that Yan Xiaojun wants to come to the warehouse, but he doesn't know why Yan Xiaojun came to the warehouse, at this time Yan Xiaojun's purpose is no longer in the warehouse, Qin Jian suddenly had a premonition, but he quickly denied it, even if it is not a warehouse, there are thousands of islands in the lake in the distance, Yan Xiaojun and himself will never go to the same person.

The smile on Yan Xiaojun's face faded little by little, so that Qin Jian, who was a little distracted, didn't notice it.

Qin Jian came back to his senses and said to Yan Xiaojun with a smile: "There are hundreds of islands on the lake, if you are trapped on that island and can't come down, I can save you by leaving my name." ”

Yan Xiaojun said happily this time: "Peach Blossom Island." ”

Qin Jian smiled and said again, "You're going to find an old man?"

Yan Xiaojun showed a look of surprise, looked at Qin Jian and said, "Are you going to look for him too?"

Qin Jian smiled, did not return, urged the horse to run forward, and said in his mouth: "After a few villages, there is a wharf, give more money, and we can go to the island in the afternoon to ask for a bowl of wine to drink." ”

Yan Xiaojun watched Qin Jian go away blankly, and muttered to himself blankly: "Can we still get drunk together?"

Qiandao Lake is vast, the two lakes are smaller in front of Hu, and there is Peach Blossom Island on the back lake connected by a lake road, and on the lake with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, Peach Blossom Island is just a falling star in the night.

The summer sun is like fire, the autumn sun is like a knife, and the noon sun is the great enemy of the captain on the lake, although the autumn wind on the lake is coiled, but the fatigue that is twice as good as the morning is not something that the autumn wind and the lily hat can resist, so Qin Jian paid three times more than the fare, and the fatigue of the captain and the extra fare offset by the extra fare.

The captain smiled all the way, talking to Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun about the wealth brought to them by the lake, and about the islands left behind, until they saw an island in the distance.

Qin Jian said to the captain that he had arrived, and pointed with his finger, the captain's face changed instantly, the pulp stopped shaking, and the boat stopped. Qin Jian couldn't help but look back, the captain had already gotten up, and it was only three or four steps from the stern to the bow, but the captain came over slowly with steady steps, and said in a panic to Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun, who didn't know why: "Two sons, this island can't be visited!"

Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun were stunned, and the captain looked at Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun's expressions, and then he reacted, and said twice as slowly: "You can't go to this island." ”

Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun asked almost at the same time, "What's wrong?"

Only then did the captain say slowly: "You sit down, I will tell you slowly." ”

Seeing the island dimly, he wanted to go and paddle for a while, Qin Jian was not in a hurry, and sat down with Yan Xiaojun, and then the captain said slowly: "There are countless small islands on this big lake, but there are a few islands, people can't go, especially this one, the other ones are nothing more than some poisons and beasts, but this peach blossom island is a place for gods and ghosts to practice, and there are many people who have disappeared on the island over the years." ”

The captain paused for a moment and continued: "I remember that time, I was also a living person, and I gave a lot of money for the boat, and the stunned boy and Wang Qing on the north slope sent him to this island. I didn't take good care of the boat, the old one was afraid of going down to the lake, and when I was going back, I only walked a few dozen meters before I met the wolffish, a big guy hit his boat, Wang Qing didn't stand firm and fell into the lake, scared to swim desperately, only to let the wolffish eat, he swam back to Peach Blossom Island, the wolf fish didn't go, he didn't dare to chase the boat, and then the boat floated away, there were few boats on this side, Wang Qing was hungry on this island for two days, there was really no way, so he went to the island, entered the flower forest, spared half a day's effort, and finally fainted in the flower forest, woke up and let a ghost tie his bare chest to the board, sharpening the knifeIt seems that he wants to eat its heart and liver, and before the knife goes down, he faints in fright, and listens to one in a daze that he wants to eat it, and one says to go to the master to ask, and when he wakes up again, this person is in Zhechuan, a hundred miles away, and it took a few days to let people send it back. ”

The captain also breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, saying that his eyes were illusory, and he brought himself into the story, and at this time he calmed his mind a little, and then went on to say: "Since then, this stupid boy Wang Qing has never rocked the boat again, and when people say that he let the owner of the little ghost take the three souls, he will be detained in a dream after a long time, and then even the government will be alarmed, and they have also gone to the island, but they can't cross the forest, but they are not like the stunned boy, Wang Qing, they went around for a long time and went out again, and finally had to go back, this hard work and money, and then did not go on this island, posted an Ming notice, saying that the island is full of poisonous snakes, go up to die, and then the fishing boats on the ground near this island will not send people to this island, if there is a boat at this time, it is also a greedy person to pick some fruit for money, or tourists go to the island to eat a fresh meal under the peach forest. ”

Qin Jian could listen to Gonggong's speech, but he didn't take it to heart, Yan Xiaojun was a little fascinated by it, and he really believed the meaning of Gonggong's words.

The captain looked at Yan Xiaojun and had a few layers of letters, and then said: "When you came, you said that it was Peach Blossom Island, I didn't think about it here, there is a larger island nearby, which is full of peach blossom forests, take a tour in the forest, eat some fruits that have not fallen at this time, and where are the sons and young masters who come to see the flowers and tour from afar, and the people on this island have changed his name now, called Viper Island, but it's not that my boatman is greedy for money and knows that he will ferry you." ”

Qin Jian smiled and continued: "The silver money is your hard work, we don't blame you, we know this island, we are going to come to this island, we can deal with snakes, insects and poisonous ants,"

Yan Xiaojun has come back to his senses, his purpose is to go to the island, and Qin Jian is communicating with his father-in-law, so he doesn't bother to bother anymore.

The captain looked at Qin Jian and smiled helplessly, and said: "Childe, you still haven't listened to me, snakes, insects and poisonous ants are what the government said to some people who don't know the inside story, there are some mysteries on this island, it is too dangerous, I have collected so much of your fare, I can't hide it from you, this place of cultivation of gods and ghosts is really impossible to go." ”

Qin Jian originally wanted to take advantage of this to be angry with Yan Xiaojun, and wanted to say that we, the old gentleman, could be possessed and exorcise demons, but looking at the sincerity of the captain, he couldn't laugh anymore, so he said: "You just shake the boat over there, we are people from the rivers and lakes, we have some courage and some ability, if we can't cope with it on the island, then we will come back." ”

Seeing that he couldn't make sense of Qin Jian, he looked at Yan Xiaojun, this matter of gods and ghosts can be dealt with by martial arts people!

Yan Xiaojun also smiled and said to the captain: "You rocking the boat, we didn't go to the island to appreciate the peach blossoms and eat the fruits、、、、、、"

Yan Xiaojun didn't finish speaking before he saw what Qin Jian's eyes were conveying to him, and his head shook slightly, Yan Xiaojun was originally a smart person, Qin Jian's hint he might not fully understand, but he also understood that Qin Jian didn't want him to say everything that followed.

Just when Yan Xiaojun paused, Qin Jian had already added his words and said: "We are prepared, you just ferry us to the island, and come here for hundreds of miles, so don't say anything more." ”

The words of the captain's persuasion were all blocked back by Qin Jian's words, and then looked at Yan Xiaojun, who had made up his mind and was just waiting for him to rock the boat, the captain sighed helplessly, and went back to rock the boat, and his eyes were still aimed at Qin Jian, looking at Yan Xiaojun's, and he probably always felt sorry for the three times the fare.
