Chapter 564 That Ship Is Quite Big (One More)
Anjiang is facing Xiongchi in the west, and because of the countercurrent, it was not until noon the next day that we arrived at the North Pond Ferry, which is the largest in Xiongchi.

Beichi Ferry and Linning share the Bajiang Lake Basin. There is a large post station near the ferry. Recently, the army has been frequently mobilized, and the civilians at the post station cannot easily pass.

When Xia Zhaoyi and the others' boat came over, they met Qianfan, a ferry boat, many of which were moored at the port, and many small boats passed by, yelling loudly whether they should get off the boat and go ashore for a walk.

The speed of the boat slowed down, and it slowly shuttled through the sea.

Zhili stood by the window and sighed: "In prosperous times, this scene is called prosperity, and in troubled times, this scene is called hectic."

The birdcage he brought with him was placed on the table, and Xia Zhaoyi was feeding the birds, and said with a smile, "It won't be too busy soon."

"Huh?" Distracted and turned around, "Why?"

"Song Zhiyi won't leave the waterway alone."

"If he wants to control it, he may be powerless. Bajianghu is so big, so he has so many boats."

"As long as you want to control it, there is always a way," Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him and said, "There are people shouting outside, do you want to go down for a walk?"

"No, there are too many people." Zhili said, he looked outside, there was a crowd of people on the shore, and there might be no place to stay.

At this time, there was a lot of movement on the deck, and the old man was vaguely heard yelling over there.

Zhili frowned: "Old man Qi, what are you doing, I'll go and see."

He turned and walked out the door.

Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, put down the long wooden stick in his hand, and went out with him.

The people on the surrounding ships were all looking at this side. The old man was sitting on the bow, holding the wine jar in one hand and a long thick rope tied to the mast in the other. His back was swaying and he was singing loudly.

Old Tong and Zhi Changle told him to come down, but he didn't, shouted very loudly, and raised his hand to take another sip of wine.

"Crazy," Zhili stepped forward and said, "What is he doing!"

"Ali!" Seeing Zhili and Xia Zhaoyi coming out, Zhi Changle hurriedly said, "I don't know when he slipped up, they only found out when they heard him singing."

"Can't you shout?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"As soon as you get close to him, you say you want to jump, don't let us get close!"

After drinking, the old man lowered his hands and suddenly raised his head. His voice was high-pitched, imitating a wolf's "owoo--" and the sound was drawn out extremely long.

The people nearby laughed, and many pointed.

"It's embarrassing," Zhili said, "Little sister, shall I drag him down?"

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the old man's figure and shook his head: "No need, just let him go."

"Ok?"

"Today is the death anniversary of his late brother and wife," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I almost forgot about it."

"...died on the same day?"

"His elder brother fell in love with his deceased wife, and was killed by robbers on the same day when they eloped."

"This……"

"There are twists and turns in the middle, his deceased wife loved his elder brother in the first place, so there is no right or wrong," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Let him make trouble."

She turned around to go back to the house, thought about it, and turned around again.

It doesn't matter if you lose face or not, safety is the most important thing.

At this time, the sky was raining, and Xia Zhaoyi walked towards the bow of the boat against the wind and spring rain: "Old Mr. Qi."

The old man looked back at her, his face flushed from drinking, and when he saw her, he subconsciously hugged the wine jar tightly: "What are you doing?!"

"It's raining." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The old man seemed to realize it only now, and stretched out his hand, the rainwater hit his hand softly, he smiled and said, "Really!"

"Come down, it's dangerous here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "If you really don't want to come down, can I tie a rope for you?"

"I have it!" The old man moved to the thick hemp rope beside him, wrapping his arms around it, "Miss Xia, don't disturb my singing pleasure!"

"If you fall, it will be difficult to rescue you," Xia Zhaoyi said.

The old man waved his hands casually, turned around, and sang loudly: "Life and death have fate! All things think they exist, and all things can be nothing.

Zhili stretched out his hands to cover his ears.

"The ugly old man is crying every day." Old Tong said.

"The life of the living, the principles of the dead, the world is full of hypocrisy, it's absurd..."

"Mr. Qi," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "Come down."

The old man ignored her and continued singing.

More and more people around looked at him, many people came out of the cabin, a few children put their hands on their lips, and shouted at him to shut up, it was really ugly.

"What's the noise?" Ji Xiahe came out of the cabin and looked up to the front, "Who is yelling?"

Many people on board were on the deck, looking at the source of the sound.

There are many ships in the middle, and the distance is too far to see clearly.

But the song that was too self-indulgent and completely out of tune was still very penetrating, and there was a "wolf" howl from time to time.

"A big dream feels like a hundred years, and when I wake up, I am shocked and feel cold. Demons and monsters walk around, and thousands of ugliness compete with each other. Small profits compete with each other without big courtesy, cannibalizing human flesh and blood without spitting out bones. There are many stories of good and false lies, and the two sides of yin and yang are true and false. From then on, I want to go to the clouds, where the mountains and rivers are free and easy to talk about. I just come to point my fingers and gesticulate, do you want your pity for the immortal wind?"

Old Tong was upset: "Is this scolding Ali?"

"How is it possible," Zhili said, covering his ears, "Would little senior sister tell others what to do? She doesn't mind giving her money."

"That's true..." Old Tong nodded.

The old man became more and more excited as he sang, he stood up from the bow of the boat, shaking his body.

People around screamed, lest he really fell.

Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, and looked back at Zhili.

Shocked, he pulled himself together, reached out and pointed at the old man, and looked at Xia Zhaoyi with questioning eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Zhili also nodded, and then walked up silently.

The old man raised his head again, and howled "wolf" to the sky.

The senior sister and younger brother behind them exerted their strength at the same time, rushed forward, grabbed one side, and forcibly pulled him off the bow.

With a "bang", the old man hit the deck, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground, and a small half of the jug of wine rolled and spilled on the ground.

The speed happened too fast, the old man was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he was struggling to get up, but he was already grabbed by the skirt of his chest by Zhili, and then he was picked up and dragged away by Lao Tong and Zhi Changle who came later.

"It's gone!" Zhili shouted to the surroundings, "Who doesn't have many drunkards!"

"Why don't you sing?" Ji Xiahe looked at the direction of the singing just now curiously, "So don't you sing?"

"It seems to be drinking mad." The entourage at the side said.

"Interesting," Ji Xiahe opened the folding fan, and shook it a few times pretending to be elegant in the strong river wind, and said, "Don't mention it, the singing is not very good, and the words are quite good."

Dai Yu and Du Xuan also came out of the cabin to chase after the singing.

"Stop singing?" Dai Yu said.

"It's gone," Ji Xiahe said, "I don't know which bad old man it is."

As the boat gradually headed east, Ji Xiahe saw that everyone was looking at a westbound boat ahead, and said, "Oh, that boat is quite big."
