Fisherman's Song Dynasty

It was already dusk when Xu Zizhen woke up, and he returned to the cabin at some unknown time. Li Meng sat quietly by the side, seeing him wake up, he quickly fetched a basin of hot water, and complained, "Uncle, why are you so drunk?" Like this? I can hardly carry you on my back."

Xu Zizhen himself was also a little embarrassed, and sat up with his head supported. His head was in severe pain like a knife and an axe. Facebook student, he can drink better than me... Oh, by the way, how is he doing?"

Li Meng curled his lips: "What else? It's about the same as you. I also carried him back to the room. There has been no movement so far, so he probably hasn't woken up yet."

Just as he was talking, there were several pecking sounds outside the cabin, and the captain called out from the door: "Brother Xu, are you awake?"

Xu Zizhen felt embarrassed for a while, and agreed to guard the boat, but after drinking for a long time, he fell asleep for a long time, he quickly got up and opened the door, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I accidentally drank it." In this way, you can rest assured that you will never drink again in the future."

The owner of the boat, surnamed Liu, is a kind man. He didn't blame Xu Zizhen for anything, but just smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's still in southern Anhui today, there are no water bandits on this waterway, even if Brother Xu gets drunk, it's fine. I just came here to tell my brother that it’s time to enter Jinghu North Road soon, there are occasional water bandits in this section of water, I’m afraid I’ll have to rely on Brother Xu to take care of it.”

Xu Zizhen nodded again and again: "It should be, shopkeeper Liu, don't worry."

Shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything else, and returned to his room after being polite. Xu Zizhen washed up and came to the deck. He just stretched out on the side of the ship when he saw Liu Suifeng staggering from the cabin with a pale face. After walking out, when he saw him, he cupped his hands and smiled wryly, "Brother Xu is really huge, I admire him!"

Xu Zizhen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Damn Hai, I just woke up not long ago, and I can't drink like this in the future, why do I think we are planning to die together?" After speaking, Liu Fengsui looked at each other and laughed.

Both of them are frank and honest, and even though they were drunk together for less than a day, they have become close like old friends. As the sky gradually darkened, the rain finally fell , the two returned to the cabin and passed the night obediently.

Sure enough, Xu Zizhen didn't drink any more alcohol along the way, and even Liu Fengsui seemed to be hurt by drinking, so he didn't mention it again. The two of them just set up a small red clay stove to cook a pot of hot water to make a cup of tea in their free time, and chatted very well. For comfort.

It was such an unremarkable trip all the way. On the morning of the third day, the boat crossed the southern Anhui border and entered Jinghu North Road. Xu Zizhen cheered up and stayed on the deck with Li Meng to prevent bandits from coming and going. Calm, the boats come and go without any offense.

As dusk was approaching, Xu Zizhen suddenly noticed that there were more and more boats on the river, and the traffic was extremely lively. After asking, he found out that not far ahead was the boundary of Jiangling Mansion.

Xu Zizhen did know this place. Jiangling, also known as Jingzhou, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It borders the Yangtze River in the south and the Hanshui River in the north. This is the place.

He was looking forward curiously, but shopkeeper Liu slowed down the boat and moored it at Jiangling Wharf. His boat was not too big, so after carrying a lot of goods, he couldn't bring much water and food. Jiangling Mansion was extremely prosperous, and Suitable for him to resupply in the middle.

After the boat was berthed, shopkeeper Liu brought people ashore to make purchases. Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng made an appointment with Liu Fengsui to disembark and stroll around the pier together, as a point of contact.

When the three of them got off the boat, they were excited by the noisy atmosphere on the pier. Although it was almost dark, there was still a sea of ​​people here, and boats would berth or set sail from time to time. Porters with bare upper bodies and hemp shoes could be seen everywhere. There was a strange smell mixed with sweat and various aromas.

On the street along the river in the distance is a row of shops, some sell wine, meat and food, some sell boats and fishing gear, and some even sell skin and meat with half-hanging curtains. There is a mid-mature woman standing at the door, dressed up beautifully. He winked at the traffickers and pawns passing by.

Liu Fengsui looked at the scene in front of him, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it is an important place in the southeast, and it is quite a bustling scene."

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "It's dirty, messy and smelly, how can you, a clean scholar like you, not dislike it?"

Liu Fengsui said seriously: "These are the people at the bottom of my Great Song Dynasty, they can be said to be the most indispensable part of the world, Feng Sui respects them even less, so why do you hate them?"

Xu Zizhen gave a thumbs up: "Young Master Liu is indeed different from ordinary sour talents, I admire him!"

Liu Fengsui shook his head and laughed. He was about to say something, but his eyes showed surprise. He looked behind Xu Zizhen and said, "Huh? Why did this person get off our boat? He doesn't seem to be on the boat."

Xu Zizhen turned his head and followed his gaze, only to see a shirtless man walking quickly down the diving board, his figure was sneaky and his eyes flickered, he didn't know who it was, Xu Zizhen was responsible for guarding the boat, so he stepped forward immediately Stopped him, smiled and said, "Brother, what are you doing on our boat?"

The man was startled suddenly, but when he looked intently, he saw two young men, one dressed as a scholar, the other with a little boyish face although not so refined, and the third even underage, with a smudge on his lips It was just a layer of fluff, and suddenly he gained confidence, rolled his eyes and said, "I got on the wrong boat, why?"

Xu Zizhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Oh? It's not dark yet, are your eyesight so bad?"

The man became impatient, staring and said: "If I say I made a mistake, I will make a mistake. Do you still suspect that I am stealing something?"

Xu Zizhen saw that he was only wearing a pair of thin trousers, the trouser legs were rolled up high, and he was wearing a pair of hemp shoes. There was really no place to hide things, but he always felt that the reason for getting on the wrong boat seemed far-fetched.

Seeing that he was still looking at him, the man couldn't help but said angrily: "You kid, don't you? Dare to treat me as a thief?" He clenched his fists as he spoke, and he was about to hit me if something was wrong. .

The wharf is a place full of fish and dragons, and Xu Zizhen is a newcomer, and he is afraid that he will accidentally offend some local forces. He doesn't care, but he is worried that shopkeeper Liu will be hurt. Since this person didn't steal anything, he smiled and moved away. Say no more.

"You're smart!" The man snorted coldly, and walked away quickly without looking at Xu Zizhen again.

Not long after, shopkeeper Liu bought things and returned to the boat. It was already dark today, and the boat was moored at the pier. He will leave at dawn tomorrow. Xu Zizhen was lying in the cabin, thinking about the man who got on the wrong boat all the time in his mind. , I always feel that something is wrong.

Is this product really hard to see?Then why didn't the mother fall into the river?
