Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Grandeur of Boating
On the shore of Taihu Lake, Sikong Zhanhong Qidongsheng and three people stood still, looking at the depths of Taihu Lake
The breeze blows and caresses the cheeks like a light veil, which is comfortable and natural.
Dongfang Sheng was dressed in white, holding a sword in his right hand, and his face was always cold.
Sikong Zhan was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a long sword on his back, a wine gourd full of two pots hanging on his waist, full of smiles, and suddenly opened his arms and open his mind, as if he wanted to embrace something.
Hong Qi was dressed in a very clean beggar suit, straddled a dog-beating stick that showed a little turquoise color, and also carried a wine gourd behind his back, but this wine gourd was vermilion, bigger than Sikong Zhan's.
Seeing Sikong Zhan's rather enjoyable appearance, he felt unhappy for a while, although the immoral idea of stealing into the Huanshi Water Pavilion was Sikong Zhan's idea, and he tried every possible way to bewitch himself, he admitted that he was indeed quite moved, but he just felt awkward in his heart, like a good woman who was forced to become a prostitute.
"Brother Sikong, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were going, hurry up and get us a boat?" Maybe it's because he's used to it, Hong Qi feels uncomfortable if he doesn't talk to Sikong Zhan.
Sikong Zhan pointed to a few boats on the shore and said, "You still need to get it, there is one here." Also, it's not that the poor road is going to go, the two of you also agreed, as if the poor road is the culprit, and the three of them want to have a share, and no one should try to deny it. "Being indiscriminately buttoned by someone, he is not ambiguous, even Hong Qi.
In fact, the three of them all have such a meaning, that is, it is not me anyway, and the other two are dragged into the water, and the three of them are unlucky.
Hong Qi wanted to deceive himself, but he couldn't feel comfortable at all, so he didn't bother to say: "It's still early, hurry up." ”
The three of them found a boat, and Hong Qi asked the boatman: "Does Yanziwu know?"
The boatman looked confused and shook his head in confusion.
"What about Shenhezhuang?" Hong Qi asked again.
The boatman finally spoke: "In and outside the city of Suzhou, there is no Zhuangzi called Shenhezhuang, you must have heard it wrong." "I said it, but it was the same as not saying it.
Hong Qi wanted to ask again, but Sikong Zhan pulled his sleeve and persuaded: "Don't ask, the location of that place is hidden, and ordinary people don't know that place, and it's in vain to ask." ”
"I don't know where it is anyway, so I don't know how to get there, do you know where it is?" Hong Qi asked rhetorically.
"I probably know, it's just news from a hundred years ago, I don't know if it's useful now. In Sikong Zhan's memory, Shenhezhuang is located in the depths of the reed pond thirty miles west of Gusu City.
"Then forget it, we don't know the place, and it's in vain to go. Hong Qi immediately retreated.
Sikong Zhan was immediately unhappy, and disagreed: "You can't say that, we finally decided to come over, and it's going to end before it starts, it's too unfortunate, no, Poor Dao will never agree, it's not too late for us to go through it." Isn't that right, Brother Dongfang?"
Dongfang Sheng was very interested in the Murong family's martial arts treasure house, and it was a big deal to run for nothing, and when he saw Sikong Zhan asking for his opinion, he nodded without hesitation.
Sikong Zhan spread his hands proudly and smiled at Hong Qi: "Let's go, two of the three have already agreed, let's go." ”
Hong Qi smiled bitterly: "In this case, the beggar will accompany you on a walk." ”
"That's right, what is a friend, this is a friend. ”
Sikong Zhan exaggeratedly patted Hong Qi's left shoulder, turned to the boatman and said, "We bought your boat." ”
The boatman was directly stunned, not understanding what Sikong Zhan meant, Sikong Zhan didn't explain too much, and directly took out the silver and handed it to the boatman. The boatman's eyes lit up, and then he understood in seconds, happily took the silver, packed up his things very neatly, and went ashore and left.
Hong Qi and Dongfang Sheng were stunned, and they didn't quite understand Sikong Zhan's style of acting. Leaving with the silver, for fear that Sikong Zhan would regret the shipowner, Hong Qi pointed at Sikong Zhan and said, "What are you buying this broken boat for?"
Sikong Zhan said confidently: "Of course it is used." ”
"Even if you use it, you don't have to buy it!" Hong Qi had a hard time understanding Sikong Zhan's thinking.
"What if you don't buy it, let him row for you?" Sikong Zhan pointed to the back of the boatman, and without waiting for Hong Qi to speak, he said: "Who knows how long it will take, if we find a place, it is impossible for us to come back immediately." ”
Hong Qi was speechless and asked, "Who rows for us?" Make it clear in advance, the beggar I am from the north, and I can't swim or row. ”
Dongfang Sheng shook his head very dryly, and in this way, the two turned their eyes to Sikong Zhan, who smiled freely and said, "Don't, Poor Dao is also a northerner, and he is a landlubber like Brother Hong." ”
Hong Qi is not a stupid person, and it is expected that Sikong Zhan must have something to rely on to drive away the ship, but he just can't figure it out.
"Let's get on the boat, how to row a poor road that can row. Sikong Zhan smiled mysteriously.
Holding back the suspicions in their hearts, Hong Qi and the two got on the boat.
“!”
Sikong Zhan did not use the oars, but slowly stretched out his left palm, and the true qi in his body came out through his palm, controlling the strength of the qi to hit the water surface to push the boat back.
Wow -
With the help of the boat, the boat sailed towards the center of the lake at a high speed like a sharp arrow. Sikong Zhan's shocking behavior made the people on the shore of the lake stunned, and some people thought that they were dazzled, rubbed their eyes, rowed through the lake again, and sailed far away.
Not only these people were dumbfounded, but also the well-informed Hong Qi was speechless for a while, he was considered to have gained knowledge, it turned out that he could still row like this, he just didn't know what strange things were going on in the mind of this friend next to him all day long, and his empty eyes were like.
Dongfang Sheng's eyes were still shocked, such a whimsical idea, he couldn't help but admire Sikong Zhan even more.
Sikong Zhan stood facing forward at this moment, with his palms behind his back, small floats and swings from time to time, and Qi and Dongfang Sheng's shocked expressions did not mention the smugness in his heart.
The reason why he had this idea from time to time was out of his own originality, but borrowed from the memory of the Middle East evil Yellow Medicine Master, Huang Yao Shi lived on Peach Blossom Island, and ships were indispensable to travel between the island and the mainland, and he was a free and cold character, and he couldn't see a large group of people following him, so he made a small boat, no boatman, no oars, as long as the energy was released, everything was done.
Of course, people have also built big boats, only that one, but that boat is the flower boat that he accompanied his deceased wife Feng Yu to be buried, but unfortunately, the old naughty boy who was finally mischievous pulled Hong Qi and Guo Juxia, and the three of them replaced others.
At the beginning of the pharmacist's move, Sikong Zhan was particularly envious, jealous and hateful, and when the opportunity came today, he passed without showing off his conscience.
