Lanke Chess Edge

Chapter 75: Half a pot of rice wine into the heart of the river

Like this kind of boat, which is all wooden, because its hull is relatively light, when the wind and waves are big, it will have a swaying feeling when traveling on the Xiaoshun River.

The most swaying places are the bow and stern, but Ji Yuan enjoys this feeling very much at the bow. Occasionally, he will put down his book and look at the scenery on both sides of the river and the river bank to see other ships passing by.

After sailing for a while out of the dock, the boat had already set sail, and the old boatman no longer swayed under the wind. He only needed to steer the boat to control the direction of the boat, and the fisherman's song stopped.

The two boatmen, Lao Qing, are indeed a father and son, and their home is in the village on the edge of Laohua Mountain. Most people in this village make a living from this ferry terminal. They also fish when business is not good. There is no shortage of fishing gear, and Ji Yuan also thought of borrowing a fish if he had the chance.

About two quarters of an hour after the boat sailed, Ji Yuan decided to leave the bow of the boat and go inside to sit.

The hull of the hull is quite spacious under the hood of the round arched black canopy, and there is another wooden frame cabin at the back end, where the boatman's sundries are placed. The two rows of benches nailed to the hull are actually enough to seat a dozen people, but Taking into account the space to lie down at night, it was said that ten people were fully booked.

The other six passengers were sitting there, each of which seemed to be quite distinct. The two accompanying scholars occasionally chatted with each other in a low voice. The little child was sleepy leaning against his grandfather.

Ji Yuan actually felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere when he was outside, and the feeling became even more obvious when he approached the canopy. The reason should all be the bearded man.

Although Jiyuan's eyesight is always like a thick frosted layer, the basic outline and some less detailed features can still be seen. When the man got on the boat before, he found that his body was really burly, and he was not inferior to Wei Wuwei.

But Wei Wuwei's first impression is that he is fat, and this man is only strong, but he has a hint of alcohol on his body, and he can't tell whether his face is fierce or not, but the voices of others are kept as low as possible.

If this man hadn't been the last to board the ship, Ji Yuan really doubted whether anyone else would dare to board.

Anyway, we have to spend three days together, the atmosphere is unbelievable.

When Ji Yuan came in, several people looked at him subconsciously, and some people thought that the person who had been reading books at the bow of the boat was a relative of the boat family.

Seeing that the sturdy man had a large section of the stool vacant on both sides, Ji Yuan sat down very casually.

"Is this brother just drinking?"

The strong man looked at Ji Yuan in surprise, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was talking to him, and when he saw that Ji Yuan's face was really facing him, he made a rough voice.

"Before leaving, the elders had a banquet at the pier restaurant, brought home-brewed wine, and drank a few bowls."

"Oh, Xiongtai is from Jiudaokou County? Seeing that you are quite strong and burly, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

When Ji Yuan asked this, it seemed to arouse the man's interest, and his tone of speech was obviously a little excited.

"I, Li Daniu, is from Dongwei Village. I have a strong physique since I was a child. People in the village say that I have done farm work to race a cow. Since I was a child, I have longed for a hero who can fly over the eaves and walls to accept me as a disciple and teach me martial arts to eliminate violence and peace. Unfortunately, I did not Met...and then..."

Speaking of which, the man became depressed.

"A few years ago, when I entered the county seat, the old coach of the martial arts regiment in the county saw me and said that I was a pity. After the age of practicing martial arts, it is difficult to achieve martial arts achievements in this life..."

The dream is shattered.

"Oh, oh, Xiongtai, don't be discouraged, there is no way out. As far as Ji knows, there are still some kung fu in Jianghu that do not require much age. With Xiongtai's innate conditions, there is no need to worry about doing nothing in the future."

"Hey, Mr. Da doesn't need to comfort me anymore, I've long since thought about it. This time I went to the Chunhui Mansion to go to my family. My uncle had a small scene there, and he lacked a strong man of his own. After saving money to ask his wife to live in peace. Have a good time!"

This man looks fierce and fierce. Although he speaks in a loud voice, he is honest and cautious. He is by no means a villain. .

"Okay, be content!"

Ji Yuan smiled, slightly cupped his hands and turned around towards everyone under the canopy.

"I plan to go to Chunhui Mansion to play. I will be in the same boat with you for the past three days!"

Seeing that Ji Yuan's simplicity is self-sufficient, and the fear of the strong man just now disappeared, the rest of the people also introduced themselves, and the atmosphere in the boat became a lot warmer, and they began to chat with each other.

The two scholars were studying abroad, one old and one young had their relatives going to the funeral before their death in Chunhui Mansion, and the emaciated middle-aged man only said that he had something to do with Chunhui Mansion.

The old boatman's son also sometimes comes over to chat and hear new things.

As the boat approached the evening, the estuary of the river was close at hand, and the wider Chunmu River could be seen in the distance.

"Zhuangzi, get ready to go offline!"

"Okay~~!"

Everyone sitting in the cabin could hear the shouting among the boatmen, and several people came out to take a look with great interest, just in time to see that the young boatman had taken a net and thrown it to the side near the bow.

"It's the easiest way to catch big fish in the estuary of the river, everyone, just wait, I'll let you eat fresh tonight!"

The old boatman steadied the boat at the stern, and shouted to the passengers with a smile, while the sails had been stowed.

The young boatman grabbed a large net in his hand, twisted his body at an angle, and then suddenly exerted force, threw the large net forward with a skillful force, and flew out and directly turned into a big circle and went down toward the river mask.

"Whoa..."

The sound of the net entering the water was very pleasant. Moments after the net sank, the boatman began to pull up the net rope with all his might.

"Clap la la... clap clap..."

The net was still halfway drawn, and the fish in the net had already slapped a lot of water.

"Scare~~ I'm really lucky today, there are several big fish! Who will help!"

The young boatman shouted happily at the boat passengers, and Ji Yuan, who was already very interested, went straight up, and the strong man Li Daniu also quickly stepped forward to help.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

After the net was closed, the fish on the front of the boat jumped lively.

"Hahahaha, the harvest is good!" "Everyone, wait for my father's specialty fish head soup and steamed fish with dried vegetables!"

"Oh oh oh, it's great, great, there are fish to eat, some big fish to eat!"

The exclamations were intertwined with the cheers of the children.

A big herring weighing more than 20 pounds, a grass carp weighing 10 pounds, as well as two fat-headed fish and some river prawns jumping around, made the whole boat excited. The scene is gone.

The clay stove was raised at the stern of the boat, steamed rice, fish, and soup. Not long after sailing into the Chunmu River, the small passenger ship broke anchor and started cooking while the river was calm.

At this time, on the edge of the river, there was also another building ship moored. Compared with the small boat, it was brightly lit. There were constant frolics and laughter.

Although the boat where Ji Yuan is located is simple, it has a rear cabin. It is not a transparent awning that does not put the front curtain to block the wind. The light of the lanterns in the cabin is also swaying on the river surface. Eating at a table is very harmonious.

The craftsmanship of the old boatman perfectly presents the deliciousness of the river fresh, accompanied by the homemade rice wine, especially the steamed fish with Ugan dishes, without the need for **** and green onions, sprinkle with a little salt, delicious and not fishy, ​​a group of people eat well or not enthusiastically .

"Puff~"

There was an indistinct sound of water, and the others were still eating, but Ji Yuan had turned his face outward.

"Someone fell into the water~~~ Someone fell into the water~~~~~!"

There were screams outside, and the other people under the awning also heard it, and they all went out to see what happened.

"It seems that someone fell into the water over the building ship?"

"Well, it's like." "Oh, was that person rescued?"

The boat is about 100 feet away from here, and it is not very real from a distance. I only know that there is a mess over there, and not to mention Ji Yuan, his eyesight is really blinded at such a distance, and he can only hear shouts. sounds and screams.

However, because of his excellent hearing, he knew that the man who fell into the water had not been rescued yet. He seemed to be a drunk boy from a certain family, and he didn't know how to drink.

"Puff~" "Puff~" "Puff~"...

In the distance, someone undressed and jumped into the river by the boat, trying to save people in the water, but the river surface a little farther from the boat was so dark that it was impossible to see, and the people above were holding lanterns with limited lighting.

"Oh, a few more people jumped down, it seems that they haven't been rescued yet!"

"I mean..."

Ji Yuan shook his head after being drunk and falling into the water, plus a landslide.~www.NovelMTL.com~ luck is almost impossible to save, but unfortunately he is not a Da Luo immortal with magic power. Would be more useful than a few well-watered boatmen.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, Ji Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and he stared at the river in the distance.

"The son is there! The son is there! He's floating there, go and save him! Can't the idiot see it, it's there!"

Someone on the boat screamed excitedly, and the boatmen in the water had to swim back in the direction they had just passed by. They actually saw the elder brother in white floating face up on the water, so they hurriedly kicked the water to swim together. Take it to the side of the boat.

Hearing a faint cheer from the big boat, the group of people on the small boat also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay, someone was rescued!" "You shouldn't drown in such a short time."

"That's good, that's good!" "Well, let's eat next."

"That's right, then eat!"

Ji Yuan also returned to the cabin together, but under the pretext that he wanted to get out of the cabin to relieve himself, he walked out again.

In the cabin, the old boatman just lifted the small rice wine bottle to add wine to himself, but found that no wine came out after pouring it twice.

"Strange, you've finished drinking it?" "Ah? It's gone, how much did you drink!"

"No hurry, no hurry, I still have it, just go and play a little in the jar!"

……

The evening breeze was gentle, Ji Yuan came to the bow alone, a cloud of rice wine was hidden in his sleeve, and he waved his right hand forward.

"Half a pot of fisherman's rice wine, please accept it with a smile!"

After speaking, Ji Yuan went back to the cabin, picked up the jug as if nothing had happened, and poured out the rice wine that the old boatman had just called, while a big herring under the river was swimming happily in the place where the wine was dropped.
