Chapter 61: No waves on the river

Fairy Town and Fairy River are both named after Fairy Gorge.

The Fairy River is not much wider than the river, the river is calm, and the boats sail as smoothly as if they are walking on the ground.When the season is good, people in Luozhou city often pack painting boats to travel along the river, enjoy spring and summer, enjoy autumn and winter.Going upstream, you can see the great peaks of the green mountains, the white clouds and the flying birds.Go downstream to see the pastoral scenery, wild flowers and fragrant trees.According to folklore, many talented scholars and beautiful ladies met because of this, and a good story was made.It is said that this is the blessing of a kind fairy.

Boat and water are Mo Zi's favorite combination.Although she has only crossed the river twice so far, when she was ordered by Qiu Sanniang to sail the boat for the first time, she stood on the waves of the river, with a pair of wings growing behind her, and the feeling of freedom made her feel relieved. cheerful.

"Brother Mo, Lao Guan is here." Cen Er reminded Mo Zi.

Mo Zi fixed her eyes and walked towards her with a smile, isn't it the short and thin old man Guan with silver gray hairpins and dark wrinkled face?

Replying with a hearty smile, Mo Zi stepped forward and clasped his fists in greeting, "Old Guan, I need you to take care of me again this time."

"Where is it, Brother Mo, you say that, but you still hold grudges. I haven't lost enough to play big swords in front of Guan Gong? I said earlier, as long as you are on the boat from now on, there will be no second boss." Lao Guan, The single name is the word Jiang.Born on a boat and grown in water, it is nicknamed loach.

Guan Jiang, who is fifty-three this year, has never made a living by anything other than water, and it has been 53 years since he held an oar.When it comes to sailing a boat, half a year ago, he only obeyed himself and believed that others were more familiar with water than he was.But after Sui Mozi delivered the goods once, he knew that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people. The ancients did not make up the words casually.

"Old Guan, are you making me feel ashamed? If you don't have your experience and technology to lead us, I'm just talking on paper, and I'm probably waiting to sink." Mo Zi doesn't exaggerate his own achievements.

Guan Jiang bawled twice, "Bad luck, bad luck." Putting his palms together, he bowed towards the river, "Don't blame Grandpa Long, he is young and ignorant, talking nonsense. Please protect us from troubles."

Of course Mo Zi didn't believe this, but she didn't act out of her own way, instead she bowed.This is called setting the hearts of others.You must know that the instability of people's hearts really affects the overall situation.

"Where's our boat?" Suddenly a playful head appeared from Cen Er's shoulders, with narrowed triangular eyes.It was one of the three coachmen, nicknamed Stinky Fish.

In addition, the fat coachman who was rolling up his sleeves to unload was nicknamed Fat Shrimp.A thin, expressive man, smoking a pipe against the hood, nicknamed the Water Snake.

It was not only wine that Mo Zi transported out of the city, but also these three coachmen.Just from his nickname, he can tell that he is also a person with excellent water skills.Moreover, although they look completely different, they are blood brothers.I heard from Lao Guan that the three brothers had been fishing all their lives, but then something happened to their hometown and they had to leave their hometown to wander.Later, when I met Laoguan, I set out a boat for him and took on some odd jobs to make ends meet.Lao Guan introduced them to Mo Zi, and she saw that the three of them were good at underwater and their personalities were not bad, so she was naturally willing to use them.In order to deceive others, the three usually do odd jobs in the back garden of Wangqiu Tower.Therefore, the coachman is part-time, and the boatman is the real job.

"Isn't it right in front of your eyes? Your eyes are so wide open." Lao Guan raised his thumb behind him.

A six-meter-by-ten-meter, three-masted wupeng cargo ship was sitting quietly on the pier.

"Changed again?" Smelly Fish talked the most, "Last time it was red paint, this time it was unpainted. And what was splashed on the canvas, one deep and one shallow?"

"Last time it was red paint, but this time the red paint has fallen off. Smelly fish, you have really sharp eyes. You can see the depth before the sail is pulled up?" Lao Guan felt that the stinky fish was talking nonsense.

"That's not true. With my eyes, feel the darkness and go into the water, and catch squid for you." The stinky fish showed off its skills.

"Okay, you." Lao Guan didn't talk nonsense with him, "Hurry up and get on the ship, before the sun goes down, I can take advantage of the ebb tide and walk a little longer."

After finishing speaking, Lao Guan said to Mo Zi, "Brother Mo, I have already corrected the few places you told me to change last time, so you can take a look and see if the changes are correct."

Mo Zi nodded.Quickly boarded the sampan, fell to the deck, entered the cabin, pulled up a piece of wood in the corner, and walked down the ladder.There was a prepared lamp by the ladder, and I took out a fire pleat to light it up, and thought while watching, if those people can't catch up, don't blame her for dirtying their money.

At this moment, a few fast horses rode into the entrance of Xiannv Town, and tap-tap-tat-tat-the horses are like the wind, and the people are like arrows.The person at the head is Na Erlang.Zhong An Shi Lei followed closely behind.The three in the back, blue and gray robes tied at the waist, tight calf trousers, and cloud boots, with bright eyes, also look very capable.

Suddenly Erlang raised his horse's head from his crotch, raised his front hoof, and stopped in front of a tea shop.

A young man greeted him with a smile, "Guest officer, can you rest with a cup of tea?"

Erlang didn't dismount from his horse, and looked down at the man from his height, "Excuse me, which direction Ye Zhoudu is going?"

"Five miles to the east." The man just finished speaking, seeing a flash of silver in the sky, he hurriedly reached out to hold it, it was a broken silver ingot, he couldn't help being overjoyed, his head was like garlic, "Thank you, sir, thank you..."

However, the only response to him was the hissing of horses, and the six people and six horses had already gone away, leaving only a trail of flying dust.

"200 taels of silver, don't give it to a swindler." Shi Lei rushed forward, keeping pace with Erlang, "I see that guy has a sly face, his eyeballs are swaying from side to side, it's really unbelievable."

"If you don't believe it, you have to believe it." Zhong An also rode up, "We are called to go to the doctor in a hurry, so it depends on luck. And I see that Brother Mo has a beautiful face, and the way he chooses to drink a toast at the end, he must have a way. It would be best for him to go with us, there will be an interesting companion on the road."

Shi Lei let out a howl, "Interesting partner? A smooth-talking smuggler, I don't sound like he has a word of sincerity. If you hadn't promised him not to report to the police, I would have brought someone to arrest him once the matter is over. And his employer."

"Once a man speaks a word, it's hard to chase." Erlang Jun's face darkened slightly, "You don't need to worry about a small private goods dealer. The important thing is the immediate matter."

Shi Lei dared to stare at Zhong An, but he was not angry with Er Lang, he shrugged his shoulders, "Damn, that kid is cheap."

Five miles, as far as six good horses are concerned, it takes a moment.Erlang has good eyesight, and when he saw the towering stone pillar, Ye Zhoudu was vigorous and straight.

"I didn't expect to see such good characters on a ferry card." Zhong An praised his writing skills.

Shi Lei looked around, saw dozens of boats of different sizes on the ferry, scratched his head and asked, "There are so many boats, which one is right?"

"Stupid stone, didn't you say it's called Yongfu?" Zhong An raised his eyes and read each name.

"Yongfu? What is the name of the smuggler Yongfu?" Shi Lei poohed.

Erlang didn't speak, he was looking for a person, not a name.Soon, he found it.

In the vast sky, an old Tsing Yi, a gray square scarf, finally jumped into the eyes.
