Chapter 98 Encountering the old fisherman on the water
"Are you martial warriors who explore the swamp?" A fisherman in his fifties asked with a smile at Jin Ruofeng who was sitting on the bow of the boat. In his mind, the warriors who could release the talisman were the warriors.
Jin Ruofeng did not correct his statement, but just nodded and said: "Yes, there are some monsters in the swamp that ordinary people cannot easily see!"
"I say so. Only you warriors can enter this swamp. We can't stand the miasma alone!"
"What's your last name, uncle?"
"There's no point talking about being expensive for a pariah. My surname is Zhang, and people call me Zhangwang!"
"How do you say this?"
"My family is poor, so I only need a net to make a living!" The fisherman laughed.
Jin Ruofeng also smiled slightly, and then looked at this small fishing boat. It seemed that there were not many fish catches today. There were only four or five slightly larger fat fish in the water tank at the stern. Otherwise, they would not stay overnight.
On the water.
"Uncle, aren't your family worried about you being alone on the water?" Yuan Xin asked.
The fisherman chuckled: "I don't have much money in my family. I only have a beggar woman who I don't mind. She died of a serious illness a few years ago, and she left me with a daughter to depend on. She usually helps me, but these two days the county
There is a temple fair, and this child is going to play with some friends
It will take a few days before I can come back. This kid actually asked me to rest at home, but I thought that while everyone is going to the temple fair, there are few boats on the water, and there may be some harvest. I didn't expect that there are only two or three, but like this
That's fine, otherwise we wouldn't have met!"
"You're right!" Yuan Xin was envious when he saw the fisherman's face smiling and not showing any sadness, "When we have something to do, we should think about the good things, so that we can be happy!"
"I like to hear what you, girl, say. Although I don't have much money, old man, I am also happy and contented!"
"Uncle, don't you have anything to worry about?" Jin Ruofeng didn't believe that there was no such thing as worry in this world.
The fisherman shook the oar and sighed a few times, "It's impossible to say that I don't have any worries. I'm getting older now, and I won't be able to float on the water in a few years. While I can still
Move on, buy more dowry for your daughter, find a good husband, and you won’t be upset!"
Jin Ruofeng didn't say anything. What the fisherman said was true. Ordinary people are troubled by these parents' selfishness. If he had not entered the academy, he would probably be in the same situation as the fisherman's daughter. His father was also trying to save some money.
I’m having trouble finding a marriage!
The fishing boat moved slowly. According to the introduction of the fisherman, the water area of the Camfield River is huge. In areas where fish are abundant, businessmen have built huge floating fishing villages to provide free use to these fishermen. The fishermen living there will use their own
The fish catch is also sold to these merchants. Although the price is not as high as that on the shore, due to the abundant fish catch, the overall income is still a lot more. However, life on the water is difficult, and there are often storms.
Living on the water is also very dangerous.
"Did you see the lights over there?" The fisherman pointed to the lights in the distance and said, "That's the Shao Family Fishing Village of the Shaw Chamber of Commerce. The Shao Family is one of the largest families in our county and is also very powerful.
, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to build a fishing village deep on the waterfront, and the daily supplies alone would be not a small amount!”
Yuan Xin is not very clear about these, but Jin Ruofeng is very clear. There are also such facilities in Juming Mountain, but they are not as big as fishing villages. They are small strongholds used to entertain hunting teams or martial arts who enter Juming Mountain.
Warrior, Jin Ruofeng once followed the village's hunting team to transport supplies. It took half a month, and he also encountered monsters on the way. Although it was very difficult, the profit from that trip allowed the village to live for several months.
comfortable life
There was mist floating on the Camfield waterfront at night. The fisherman was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He bypassed the fog-shrouded area and drove towards the fishing village. When approaching the fishing village, Yuan Xin was surprised to see the surrounding water.
There were large pieces of vegetation growing on it, which made her very surprised that the water depth here was more than ten feet high. What kind of plants could have such a height?
The fisherman immediately smiled and introduced: "These are all arranged by the fishing village. They use driftwood to form a large platform, and then put a small amount of mud on it, and some vegetation can grow. Some small fish and shrimps in the water like to come here."
Come to look for food, which in turn attracts big fish."
"What an ingenious design!" Yuan Xin exclaimed in admiration. Jin Ruofeng also felt the excellence of this design. Moreover, this floating platform can sometimes serve as an emergency rescue site for fishermen. Once encountering big waves, this
Planting a platform that is more than ten feet tall is a life-saving place.
The fishing village is right in front of you. Jin Ruofeng and Yuan Xin are standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the huge building complex in front of them like two curious babies. From the outside, you can't tell how big the fishing village is, but from the fishing boats docked outside,
It seems that this place can accommodate at least a thousand people.
The small fishing boat slowly came to a pier. The fisherman tied the boat skillfully. Jin Ruofeng jumped onto the pier in one stride, and then stretched out his hand to help Yuan Xin up. Although he was still floating on the water, his feet felt like he was stepping on
Just as solid on land.
"You two adults, if you don't mind, come to my place to have a rest tonight. My daughter is not at home and her room is empty!"
Jin Ruofeng looked at Yuan Xin, wondering if the princess could adapt to it, but Yuan Xin smiled sweetly: "Then I'll help you, but I don't know if it's convenient!"
"What's the inconvenience? You are a warrior. It is my honor to be able to live in my little shabby house. You will also have bragging rights in front of those old guys!" The fisherman heard that Yuan Xin agreed to come to his home.
Go and immediately smile.
The fisherman's residence is not far from the pier, only a few dozen steps away. Except for the different clothes hanging in front of the door, the houses here are almost the same, and they are obviously all made uniformly. There are three rooms in total, with the main room in the middle and two
On the side are the bedrooms and the main room
There is a firepit in the middle, with some seats scattered around. It can be seen that the fisherman's life is not as wonderful as he described. There are almost no valuable objects in the house. It is estimated that the most valuable thing to him is the one on the pier.
A small fishing boat.
The charcoal fire in the fire pit was quickly lit. The fisherman was busy cooking rice porridge, and then picked two of the fat fish he had just caught and slaughtered them. It seemed that he was going to make dinner for the two of them.
When Yuan Xin got on the boat, she saw that the fisherman only brought a little rice cooker and half a fish as dry food at night. She thought he just didn't plan to spend the night on the water, but she saw that the fisherman had almost emptied his hands.
When I picked up the rice jar, I realized that this is the life of a fisherman.
Jin Ruofeng naturally knew what the fisherman's living conditions were like, so he gently said to Yuan Xin: "Please pay attention to safety here, I will go out and be back soon!" Yuan Xin now has the protection of Nether around him, so he can still be safe.
Guaranteed, besides, in such a small fishing village, the chance of evil people appearing is not too high.
"Uncle, I'm going out to enjoy the scenery of the fishing village!"
"Okay, okay, don't forget to come back for dinner later!" the fisherman said without raising his head as he was busy marinating the fat fish in his hands.
"I'll go too!" Yuan Xin also stood up, "I haven't seen him either!"
"Okay, what's there to see in this fishing village? Go back quickly!"
Although there is still a vast expanse of water under your feet, walking on it is as solid as a rock. It is obvious that the entire fishing village has the help of the talisman, and the building that looks like a sacrificial temple standing in front of it is the key to it.
"Jin Ruofeng, what do you think of this house?" Yuan Xin was a little confused. Although this house looked a bit grand, there wasn't much weirdness about it.
"It's nothing, I just thought this house was higher!" Jin Ruofeng laughed, then jumped up to the roof and looked around. With the help of the lights all over the fishing village, he finally saw the entire fishing village.
The entire fishing village has a crescent-shaped layout, with a lighthouse-like building at each end, and the center is at your feet. However, it is night now, most of the fishermen have already rested, and only a few houses still have lights on.
Repairing fishing nets, the only light
The bright place is the area separated by seven or eight houses in front, where several large ships are docked, and the "land" buildings also look relatively tall. Compared to the surrounding huts, they stand out from the crowd, which is obviously what the fisherman said.
Shaw Chamber of Commerce.
"Whose child? How can he stand on the temple of the water god?" A voice came from the darkness.
Jin Ruofeng turned over and jumped off the roof. He saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be particularly angry and came to him. However, when he saw Jin Ruofeng, he couldn't help but froze. He didn't recognize the young man in front of him!
"You're not from a fishing village? Forget it. Don't go on the roof again. What if you fall?" The man shook his head.
"Haha, thank you!"
Jin Ruofeng watched the other party leave and couldn't help but shake his head. Next to him, Yuan Xin emerged from the darkness and said jokingly: "Whose child is it? Hahaha!"
"Why are you laughing? I'm not old! Do you think you are old?" Jin Ruofeng was a little unconvinced. He was indeed less than fourteen years old, but his long career as an Orion coupled with his recent increase in strength,
It makes others forget his real age, but at this age he also starts to start a family in some places.
Yuan Xin was speechless for a moment, and after a long time he managed to say: "I'm older than you anyway!"
But now is not the time to compete. Jin Ruofeng pointed forward and said: "There are several large ships over there. I think they are the ships used by the Shaw Chamber of Commerce to transport supplies and fish. If we want to go back, we can only rely on them!"
"
"Uncle, are we not going back?"
"Of course I'm back! Uncle is so enthusiastic, we can't just leave like this!"
After passing a few rows of houses, I saw a large ship docked on the pier. Although it was not as luxurious and large as a water chariot, it was enough to withstand the wind and waves in the water. In front of the pier where the big ship was docked, Jin Ruofeng saw
