Chapter 118 Jin Shaoyou

There are five lakes and seven rivers in the Middle Earth continent.

It is like a jade belt that lingers around Qingyang Mountain. It is the Huai River, one of the seven rivers.

The Huai River originated from Kunlun, and after nine bends and thirteen bends, it flowed through tens of thousands of miles, poured into the East China Sea from Lu, nourishing countless creatures on both sides of the shore. It is the largest river in the Middle Earth, far beyond the reach of Jingxi, the hometown of Tangcheng.

There is a saying in Central Earth that is widely circulated. Climbing Qingyang and slimming the world, spreading to the Huai River and slimming the sea. It describes the wideness and vastness of the Huai River.

Longzhuer, who is used to seeing the boundless East Sea, couldn't help but be amazed at the majesty of the Huai River, and the boats at Qingyang Ferry made Longzhuer feel even more novel.

"Little thief, is this a ship?"

"Of course, otherwise what do you think it is?" Long Zhu'er's stubbornness was really unexpected. The two had been together for more than half a month, and Tang Cheng worked hard and made all his attention. He could not let her change the title.

Watching the sunrise in Qingyang Mountain is not as surprising as I imagined. The beautiful scenery of the sea of ​​clouds in Qingyang Mountain under the rising sun makes people shine. From Qingyang Mountain, Longzhuer originally intended to fly directly to Emei, but Tangcheng insisted on going to Sichuan by land, otherwise it would be too boring.

The first stop they went down the mountain was Qingyang Ferry of the Huai River.

After tens of thousands of miles, the water level of the Huai River to Shandong has been very smooth and the waves are not stirring. The ferry is always here without any danger. It is said that there has been no accident in the past 30 years. Therefore, merchants from all directions gathered here, making Qingyang Ferry extremely busy.

However, the scene in front of me was unexpected, with few people at the ferry entrance, which was very different from the legendary scene of goods as mountains and people as seas.

When Long Zhuer was amazed at the rows of ferries next to the pier, Tang Cheng found a boatman with a bearded face and a row of beards under his jaw from somewhere and asked, "Brother, why did this ferry become like this?"

Tangcheng couldn't even find a suitable word to describe. The boatman was also interesting and sneered: "It's deserted like a ghost market?"

"good!"

"Three days ago, a monster appeared in the heart of the river, specifically devouring the ferry. Wang Laosan from the next house, along with seven guests, was swallowed together."

"The bravest Zhu Qiangsheng, for the sake of ten taels of gold, carried a bright silver spear in his hand and a group of travelers across the river. As a result, he fed the monster together."

"The county magistrate found a group of monks and Taoists to do rituals, but those monks also became unjust souls in the water. Just two days later, this prosperous Qingyang Dun became a ghost creature on earth!"

The middle-aged boatman flew everywhere, and he was about to say something strange and terrifying. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop talking! I don't say anything about strange power and talk about the gods. What should you be guilty of confusing the public in this hometown of saints?"

The two of them turned around and looked at it, but they were a boy dressed in a scholar, shouting and scolding him.

When he was criticized in person, his bearded face immediately turned red. However, the long sword around the scholar's waist made him dare not move. Of course, it was not because of the amazing force of the young scholar, and the boatman's big fist was definitely not a vegetarian. What he was concerned about was the identity of the scholar.

The government stipulates that only scholars can study with swords, so the shipworker will never dare to stubbornly. Otherwise, the lawsuit will be fought to the yamen, which will ensure that the shipworker will not be able to bear it.

The bearded man fell down and his body was trembling slightly. Seeing that the boatman had suppressed the arrogance, the young man threw a piece of silver over, about one or two taels, and shouted: "I want to cross the river, why don't you prepare for the ferry quickly!"

Qingyang, the hometown of the saint, has a wealth of wealth. It is really difficult for people to work hard for a mere tael of silver. The bearded smiled in a low voice and said, "Young master, the villain's legs and feet are not flexible. If the boat capsizes and throws you into the river, it will be unbeautiful!"

When the young scholar heard this, he was furious. He pulled out his shaky sword with a slam, pointed at his beard and said, "You dare to threaten me, I have fame and fortune. See you in our yamen!"

Seeing that the boy was unstable, his hands holding the sword were shaking constantly, and even he couldn't hold it straight, he couldn't help but laugh.

The young scholar was stunned when the smile was as if spring was blooming. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, awakening him. The scholar quickly bent down and picked up the sword, regretting his rudeness.

In a flash, he turned his regret into hatred. All this was the fault of the beard! He pointed his sword at the beard, and the tip of the sword wanted to touch the beard's chest, and said tremblingly: "Drive on the boat immediately, otherwise you will be punished for being a traitor!"

The disaster came from the sky, and the bearded man suddenly fell into a dilemma. He was not that stupid yet; but if he didn't go, he would have to go to the yamen.

Yamen is even more fearful than the monster in Hexin!

As the saying goes, the yamen front faces south, don’t come in if you have any reason or money.

It is not a waste of time to defeat the magistrate of the family or destroy the county magistrate.

The ignorant boy in front of him was even more difficult to get rid of. His heart was ruthless and he was about to fight to death to get the boy into the river and drowned him when suddenly, an old man in rags rushed over and slapped the beard with a slap.

Although the beard was strong, the old man made him have no temper. He covered his face with his face. He lowered his eyebrows and shouted with delight: "Dad, everyone is in front of him, at least give the child some face."

The old man ignored him at all, but turned around with a smile on his face, pleaded with a mercy to the young scholar, "Young Master, you are the Wenqu Star in the sky, don't bother with my son, I'll cross the river, I'll cross the river."

The young master and scholar were hesitant because of the old man's trouble. If he disagreed, it would be a bit unreasonable. If he agreed, how could he calm down?

The old man was busy boating all his life, and he had seen more people than the scholar had eaten. His bronze face was filled with a smile and walked straight forward, saying as he walked: "Young Master, please come here! At this Qingyang Ferry, if the old man was the second best in boating skills, no one dared to be the first."

The young scholar could not bear his face, returned the sword to the sheath, gently stroked his robe, shouted, "Lead ahead!" When he walked to Longzhuer, the young man bowed his hands and said, "Why don't you dare to ask about the girl's name?"

Long Zhu'er had never encountered such a scene of chatting with her, but she was such a brave woman. She laughed and sang, "I am a dragon girl from the East China Sea. Sifan came to the world and was lost and didn't know the way back to the palace. She lived there for thousands of years." After singing this, Long Zhu'er sighed, "I have forgotten my name and other names over the years!" The praise that seemed real and fake made the monk Jin Shaoyou and Zhang Er confused.

However, the treatment of beautiful women is different after all. Even though Long Zhuer has a colorful butterfly mask covering her appearance, she is still one of the best beauty among the women that Jin Shaoyou has seen in his life.

They are all about the theory of the strange power of the gods. The bearded man was yelled by Jin Shaoyou, but Long Zhu'er's words only made him laugh. Jin Shaoyou was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss is joking! If you want a ferry, you might as well go with the young actor!" Long Zhu'er was afraid of the world's unrest, so why have you ever been afraid of anything?

She looked at Tang Cheng, wanting to hear his opinion.

This moment made Tang Cheng move. It’s worth the half month he has served Longzhuer like an aunt.

"If you want to go, then go with you!" Tang Cheng's words always made Long Zhuer feel excited.

Jin Shaoyou then realized that there was such an annoying guy beside Long Zhuer. He laughed and said, "It's a fate to meet. I'll pay the ship alone!" As he said that, he took out another ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to the old man.

The old man smiled and took the money, but said, "The boat fee for crossing the river is fifty cents per person. I don't want much, and I don't have any credit. When I reach the other side of the river, the old man will come to find change for the young master!"

This can only deceive Jin Shaoyou and Long Zhu'er. Tang Cheng could see that the old man was already determined to die to hold the boat, but I was afraid that Jiang Xin was indeed a bit strange.

The wooden ferry is already very old, with the gray-brown pattern falling into a very deep place, making it look a little bumpy. The handles of the oars are extremely smooth, and they are obviously rubbing them frequently.

The three of them stepped onto the ferry together. Longzhuer was surprised by everything. He touched left and looked right, and didn't say much. She pointed to a cloth bag above the mast and asked, "Little thief, what is that?"

Tang Cheng glanced at it and said, "That was a pack of chicken feathers, about five liang, so it is called five liang."

"Five liang, what's the use of a strange name?" Long Zhuer was very curious.

"It is used to determine the wind direction and wind speed. If five liang floats up, it means that the wind is too strong and you can't cross the boat." Tang Cheng said with a clear explanation.

Originally, Jin Shaoyou was from Haizhou and was more familiar with the ship. However, if he wanted to maintain the image of the handsome young man in front of Long Zhuer, how could he suddenly interrupt others' conversation?

Seeing that the two of Tangcheng had a great time talking, Jin Shaoyou was itchy and asked, "I wonder where you two cross the river?"

Apart from being close to Tangcheng, Long Zhuer was not willing to say more to outsiders, so Tangcheng replied: "Looking west, we are going to Emei!"

"To the west, you are going to pass by Yingchuan Mansion. Yao Fuzun, the parent of Yingchuan Mansion, was the same year as his father. This time he was about to visit him. How about the two of them?" Jin Shaoyou tried hard to show himself in front of Long Zhuer. In his opinion, a man's charm is nothing more than money and power. As long as he has these two, what other women can resist?

Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "That's what I'll bother you!"
