Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 195: Is there really a water man?

Although Yin Qing and Hu Yun didn't understand what Mr. Ji was up to, they knew that Mr. Ji must have his own reasons for doing things. When Mr. Ji urged them, they hurriedly followed him.

When I went back, I felt a little faster than when I came. After returning to the goods lane of Laohuashan, I could already see some teams driving ox carts, donkey carts and horse carriages, carrying goods, luggage or guests, such as Ji Yuan and There are naturally many people walking like Yin Qing.

While walking on the road, Hu Yun frequently looked at the lotus leaf bag Ji Yuan was carrying. He remembered that he had asked for these dried lotus leaves from the store when he bought pancakes in Jiudaokou County. He did not expect that they were used for packaging. It's a fish. Red Fox instinctively felt that the fish was not simple.

Yin Qing, on the other hand, not only occasionally looked at the fish in Ji Yuan's hand, but also frequently looked behind Ji Yuan. After walking for a while and seeing that there were no pedestrians or horses nearby, he couldn't help but ask Ji Yuan in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, where is the sword that appeared in your hand just now? Why is it missing now?"

Yin Qing looked at the cloth bundle Ji Yuan was carrying. It was obvious that such a small bag could not hold a long sword, and the shape was wrong.

"You said Ivy Sword, this sword is not willing and cannot be shown to others, it is hidden out of sight."

"Oh..."

Mr. Ji's ambiguous answer meant that he didn't want to elaborate, so Yin Qing gave up.

"But that sword is so beautiful. It's green and green. It feels so smart. As soon as you see it, you will know that it is definitely a magic weapon, right Mr. Ji?"

Ji Yuan smiled before he could speak.

"Buzz..."

The sound of swords sounded vaguely, and Yin Qing and Hu Yun felt faint tinnitus in their ears. They couldn't help but look left and right, but they couldn't find the source of this strange feeling. Only Ji Yuan said "hehe" for a few times. The sound is no longer silent.

This cargo road in Laohuashan is dug along the gentle terrain on the side of the mountain. It does not take much effort to shuttle to the ferry at the other end.

Even though Ji Yuan and Yin Qing were walking at a normal pace, they arrived at the ferry by the Xiaoshun River outside the mountain before noon.

Yin Qing's bookcase still contained pancakes and snacks bought in Jiudaokou County, so they did not plan to eat in the shops and restaurants at the ferry, but went directly to find the ferry.

It was still early when Ji Yuan came to this ferry, but now it happens to be a busy time for the ferry, with all the boatmen loading and unloading cargo and boatmen soliciting customers.

The atmosphere in a place like the dock made Hu Yun, who was lying on the bookcase, a little nervous, especially the muscular boatmen who were shirtless and carrying leather cushions carrying wooden boxes and large frames of "Hey throat, hey throat" up and down. , giving the fox an inexplicable sense of oppression. He always felt that the box was going to hit him. He also blamed Yin Qing for telling stories about villagers fighting monsters together.

Ji Yuan and Yin Qing were walking around on the ferry. Yin Qing felt that Mr. Ji was looking for something.

"Mr. Ji, are you looking for something?"

Ji Yuan walked around but couldn't find the small passenger ship. He didn't know whether the boatman and his son stopped doing this business, or whether they had already left the ship and just missed it. It was probably the latter.

Faced with Yin Qing's question, Ji Yuan smiled.

"Nothing, just take a look, do you two want to take a big boat or a small boat?"

"Big boat!" "Small boat!"

Two voices came out, one after the other. Yin Qing and Hu Yun had a rare disagreement. Yin Qing wanted to take a big boat, while Hu Yun wanted to take a small boat.

Yin Qing turned her head and met a slightly worried fox face. She was stunned and changed her words to Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, let's take a small boat. There are fewer people and it's quieter."

"Okay, let's take a boat!"

Leading Yin Qing directly to a small passenger boat that was similar to the boatman and his son back then, Ji Yuan greeted the man wearing a straw hat and napping on the deck.

"Boatman, is this boat going to Chunhui Mansion? Boatman..."

After calling twice, the boatman took off his straw hat and straightened up, looking at Ji Yuan and Yin Qing standing on the shore of the pier. They looked like two scholars.

"Boatman, are you going to Chunhui Mansion?"

Ji Yuan asked again.

The boatman scratched his face and then his head, and replied in a leisurely manner.

"The boat is chartered for two liang. You can also wait for the guests and pay for it. The seat limit is eight people."

Look at the hidden energy and blood hidden in this man's body. He should be a good martial arts practitioner, but the premium is a bit much. Ji Yuan waved his hand.

"Two taels? There is no disaster in Jizhou and there are plenty of supplies, so the shipping fee will not rise so much. How about chartering the ship for two hundred coins and also chartering the meals on board?"

The boatman leaned out by the river, took a handful of water to wash his face, and looked intently at the shore.

"Hey, I am still a knowledgeable person. Let's do this. If the guest wants to charter the boat and leave immediately, then it will cost 200 yuan. If he is prepared to wait and pay for the boat, then the total fare will be 400 yuan in the end. How about ?"

Ji Yuan nodded.

"Okay, let's sail directly, we will charter the boat!"

"Okay, sir, I'm so cheerful. Hey, sir, wait a minute, be careful, I'll give you a springboard!"

Hearing that Ji Yuan was ready to charter the boat, the man became more enthusiastic and hurriedly set up the planks on the boat so that Yin Qing could step on the springboard to board the boat.

When Yin Qing was carrying the book box on the boat, the boatman also reached out to help him. But just when Yin Qing stepped onto the boat, Hu Yun jumped from the book box onto the boat.

Although the red fox was extremely light, when it landed on the ship's board, the boatman still frowned and subconsciously looked around before calling Ji Yuan on board.

"Boatman, are you the only one here?"

Ji Yuan looked back and forth on the boat and saw that there was no second person on the other side of the inner warehouse. Doesn't that mean there was no one to rotate around?

"Hey, I'm the next person, don't worry, Mr. Da, I'll do it three days when others are three days, and I'm three days when others are five days, I can't slow down!"

While talking, the boatman had already untied the rope from the dock and used bamboo poles to push the boat away from the shore of the dock.

"Sit tight, sit tight, let's sail! Hey~~~~yo~~~~"

The boatman's energy and blood rose sharply, and his muscles became clear when he swung his luck. The whole boat swayed violently from side to side, leaving the dock and sailing away.

Yin Qing's center of gravity was unstable on the boat, so he quickly sat down on the stool in the cabin to steady himself. Even Red Fox, who was riding on a boat for the first time, was lying on the stool holding the stool with his front and rear paws.

Only Ji Yuan stood steadily in front of the warehouse and looked at the surface of the small river, without even swaying. The boatman behind him squinted his eyes for a while and secretly wondered if he had made a mistake.

This man obviously rowed harder than the old boatman back then. In the afternoon, he had reached the intersection of Xiaoshun River and Chunmu River.

But just like the boatman back then, the boat also stopped here. The man walked from the back to the front and took a long harpoon from the cabin, with a long rope attached to the harpoon handle.

"Two guests, please wait a moment. There are many big fish at the mouth of the river, and tonight's meal is pointed here!"

Both Yin Qing and Hu Yun couldn't hide their curiosity and went outside to watch the man spearing the fish. Ji Yuan also smiled and stood by the mast.

There were also some small boats and big ships passing by, and some small boats stopped here, either casting nets or throwing poles.

The boatman stared at the water surface attentively, exploring the subtle changes in the water through the sparkling waves. A novice might not be able to determine where the deep and shallow fish are due to light refraction, but it is obviously not a problem for this boatman.

"Mr. Ji, why is he standing still?"

"Shh... Look, it's ready!"

As soon as Ji Yuan finished speaking, the boatman suddenly moved, his muscles seemed to bulge in an instant, and he pulled out the harpoon with a fierce momentum.

Whoosh~"Bang..."

The water splashed, and the harpoon flew ten feet out and shot diagonally into the water. Only one palm of the ten-foot-long harpoon's handle was exposed out of the water.

"Hahaha...hit!"

The man laughed and quickly pulled the rope back. After a moment, a still shaking big silver carp was pulled up.

"Good skills!"

Ji Yuan praised him, and Yin Qing also called him "awesome".

There were sporadic applause from a little distance away. Following the sound, I saw a large ship passing by. Passengers on the ship also saw this scene and applauded from a distance.

"Hey, hey, no prizes, no prizes, just make a living on the water!"

The boatman did not stop, feeling that one silver carp was not enough to eat, so he took the silver carp off the fork and put it in a wooden basin on one side, then raised the fork again to concentrate.

This picture made Ji Yuan inexplicably think of Runtu and Yu. Their postures were the same as the pictures in the text in his previous life.

A big silver carp weighing four to five kilograms and a grass carp of about the same size were the man's harvest. Then he happily went back to paddle, sailed the boat out of the river mouth, and headed towards Chunhui Mansion.

There is no wind on the river today, and the sails are of no use. However, the boatman’s enthusiasm for rowing has not diminished from the beginning to the end. He is very ready to row until dark, but it is springtime. At a certain point on the river, Ji Yuan shouted to stop.

"Boatman, stop the boat!"

"Ah? If the guest officer needs to urinate urgently, he can just go to the bow of the boat and face the river. Facing the shore, there are woods and wilderness on the other side, and no one will see him!"

Ji Yuan couldn’t laugh or cry.

"Boatman, I don't mean to relieve myself. Let's rest here tonight and leave tomorrow!"

"Huh?"

The boatman looked at the sky and was a little confused. With the speed of his oar, he could have sailed for a long time before breaking down.

Ji Yuan cupped his hands and explained.

"Some interesting things happened when I passed this section of the river. At this time, I was moved by the scene and wanted to stay here for one night like I did before. I would like to trouble the boatman to make it easier."

The boatman scratched his head from behind and returned the salute.

"Okay, okay, you are the sponsor, you can do whatever you want! Hey, scholars are troublesome..."

The first half of the sentence was a loud reply, and the second half was a whisper of complaint, all of which Ji Yuan listened to without missing a word.

Since Ji Yuan insisted on his request, the boatman anchored here, started processing the two fish in advance, and then took out the stove to prepare the meal

Before sunset, the boatman had already prepared the meal. Both dishes were steamed fish, with **** slices and some sauces prepared by the boatman. However, after setting the meal, Ji Yuan borrowed the stove from the boatman. And a casserole, said to be carried to the bow of the boat to stew soup.

The boatman took a look out of curiosity and found two small silver fish as long as a palm in a large pot of water. He didn’t know where they came from. Maybe there was a small tank or something in the book box. It seemed like The fish is still alive. Although its belly is turned over when it enters the water, its gills and fins still move occasionally.

"Uh, sir, do you want me to help you deal with these two fish, the gills and internal organs..."

"No, no, no, that's fine!"

Ji Yuan smiled and rejected the boatman's kindness, which also made the latter dumbfounded. He said in his heart, 'These nerds are indeed nerds! ’

The sky is getting dark. In the cabin, Ji Yuan, Yin Qing and the boatman are holding bowls to eat. Hu Yun is lying at the table with his eyes open with greed. Occasionally, Yin Qing "accidentally" drops a piece of fish. The frequency is completely It cannot satisfy the appetite of the red fox.

One thing the boatman was very happy about was that the gentleman named Ji actually took out a pot of Qiannichun during the meal. This kind of famous wine is not cheap, and the boatman who drank it was a little embarrassed. After all, the wine cost more than the shipping fee. Still expensive.

When they were almost done eating, the boatman went to the bow to relieve himself. Yin Qingcai hurriedly filled a bowl of rice, poured the soup with sauce and fish on top, inserted a spoon and placed it on a stool.

With lightning speed, Hu Yun grabbed the spoon with his paws and shoveled the rice into his mouth. He ate it so deliciously. This feeling of eating secretly after being hung up for so long was simply undesirable. It’s much more delicious than having dinner in Ning’an County.

The boatman finished his hands and went to the other side to scoop some river water to wash his hands. Then he walked to the bow of the boat and added some charcoal to the stove. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan． com

"It tastes quite fragrant... It seems that Mr. Ji didn't add any seasoning..."

The man's nose twitched and he couldn't help but wrap his hands with his cuffs to prevent them from getting burned. He opened the lid of the casserole and looked inside.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance overflowed from the inside, and it felt as if the whole body was numb. Looking inside, the two fish were gone, leaving only a silvery and transparent pot of soup.

"Crash..."

There was a sudden sound of water on the surrounding river. The boatman was awakened. He immediately closed the lid with a guilty conscience and looked at the river a few feet away. The ripples were slowly dissipating.

"Crash..."

This time the sound came from the front of the ship. The boatman suddenly crossed a few feet away and looked in the direction of the water pattern. He faintly saw a flash of green light, and the movement of the water pattern was not small, and it was definitely not ordinary. fish.

Even if he possesses martial arts skills, the boatman is still worried. Is there really a water master?
