Big dreamer

"This..." The guy rolled his eyes and had a look of embarrassment on his face.

When Shen Luo saw this, he understood in his heart, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The guy glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to get it.

"Let's talk about it first." Shen Luo raised his hand and gently covered Broken Silver with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ahem... If I remember correctly, there is only one family named Yu who works as a boat in the Huangweidang water area. There are more than ten miles of water up and down there. There are too many reefs and rocks, and the current is fast, so the man from the Yu family You can sail there." The man coughed dryly, retracted his hand, and said angrily.

When Shen Luo heard this, he felt happy. He picked up the broken silver and put it in the waiter's hand, but did not let go immediately and continued to ask:

"Where is Huangweidang? Is it an easy place to find?"

"It's easy to find. After you leave the west city gate, you'll be there fifty or sixty miles southwest. If you can't find it on the road, just ask anyone and just ask for help." The clerk felt the coldness in his hands and smiled widely. , said quickly.

"Thank you, brother." Shen Luo smiled and let go of his hand.

"What are you talking about? If you have any other instructions, please tell me. The city gates close early these days, usually at midnight. You should pay attention to your return time when traveling." The store clerk smiled with a smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly. Collected the broken silver.

Shen Luo waved his hand, and the waiter bowed and retreated.

After dinner, Shen Luo led his horse out of the city and headed southwest. About half an hour later, he arrived at the river bank.

There are many incoming streams in the upper reaches of Luanshui River, and the river surface is quite wide. Thick elm and willow trees grow everywhere on the artificially built embankments on both sides and on the tidal flats adjacent to the water. The willow branches with dense roots are hanging down. The summer breeze is swaying.

Shen Luo walked along the river bank. After walking for more than ten miles, he found that the river bed of Luanshui River began to shrink a little. The originally wide water surface gradually narrowed by dozens of feet, making the originally gentle water flow gradually become Become turbulent.

As we went further, sandbanks began to appear on the river. There were dense clumps of reeds growing on them. The leaves of the reeds were green and rustled in the wind. Water birds flew and landed from time to time.

After driving the horse forward for another ten miles, Shen Luo finally saw an old elm tree dozens of feet tall not far from the river in front, with a simple thatched shed set up in the shade under the tree.

On the water bank not far from the thatched hut, there was a small black boat tied to the water bank, with a ten-foot-long bamboo pole stuck to the side of the boat.

He came to the foot of the elm tree not far away, jumped off the horse, held the reins and walked slowly over.

"Is the boatman here?" Shen Luo stood outside the house and shouted loudly.

"Hey, here we come..." A voice responded quickly, with a rather rough voice.

Immediately afterwards, a rather stout middle-aged man walked out of the hut.

Shen Luo looked up and down and found that except for the fact that this person's skin was too tanned, his appearance was similar to that of Yu Meng. He couldn't help but secretly marveled, feeling that this person might be one of the ancestors of the Yu family.

"Is it Yu Zhouzi?" Shen Luo asked.

"Haha, what the guest said, the water section of Luanshui River in Songfan County is hundreds of miles up and down, but there is a second Yu Daring?" The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and seemed quite content with his words.

"It's just because of Brother Yu's reputation." Shen Luo heard this and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you want to cross the river? But it's not easy to carry a horse. I'm afraid our boat can't stand a horse." The middle-aged man who claimed to be bold looked at Shen Luo and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm not crossing the river. I just want to borrow a boat from my brother. The price... can be easily discussed." Shen Luo blinked and said.

Yu DaDa heard Shen Luo's words and couldn't help but look Shen Luo up and down again. He was a little confused about what this young man who looked like a rich man wanted to do.

Shen Luo just looked at Yu DaDa with a smile, waiting for him to speak.

"Sir, you look like a foreigner, right? This yellow reed marsh is not a good place for swimming and playing. As you can see, the reed marsh has a nice scenery. There are many undercurrents and reefs under the river, and there is a large area in the middle. It's a rocky beach. Even if you're an experienced boater, you'll get hit by it if you're not careful. It's not a good idea for you to rent a boat yourself." Yu boldly frowned and advised.

"It's okay, I still know some about water. I just want to take a look in the reed marsh and come back after enjoying the scenery." Shen Luo said.

"Sir, if you want to enjoy the scenery, it's fine. I'll take you there in a boat and we'll charge you the money to cross the river back and forth. It's less expensive than renting a boat and there's no danger, don't you think?" Yu Dadan still felt uncomfortable. Appropriate.

"My guest, please don't listen to this idiot..." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, before Shen Luo could reply, an urgent female voice came from the hut.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman wearing brown clothes and a turban walked out of the hut with a big belly.

The complexion on the woman's face was dark and red, and she was obviously used to hard life due to exposure to wind and sun.

"Oh, there is such a handsome young man..." The woman admired Shen Luo.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, not taking it seriously.

"Why did you come out? Don't catch the wind." Upon seeing this, Yu boldly turned around and faced him with a look of concern on his face.

When the woman saw this, she gave him a hard look, slapped away his holding hand, and said:

"You country boy, do you know what elegance is? This young man wants to go into the reed marsh to enjoy the scenery alone. Maybe if he becomes poetic, he can write a poem that is known to the world. You Isn’t it an eyesore for a rough guy to join in the fun?”

Of course Shen Luo knew that the woman wanted to earn money for renting the boat, but he didn't point it out and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is joking. I just want to go and relax alone. I don't have any poetic talent..."

Hearing what Shen Luo said, his wife kept winking, so Yu DaDa had no choice but to sit aside and stop talking.

"Haha, Master, how long do you want to rent it for? Although our boat is not big, we do a lot of business this day. Master, we can't treat our family badly." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"I'll rent it for three days. Counting from now until three days from now, I'll give you ten taels of silver. How about it?" Shen Luo touched his chin and asked.

"How many……"

When the woman heard this, her expression changed a little. She really didn't expect Shen Luo to be so generous.

"Ten taels of silver." Shen Luo repeated.

"No, no... too many." Yu boldly waved his hands.

"This... is really a lot. It is more than enough to buy our boat. Not to mention ten taels, one tael is a lot." Even though the woman was greedy for money, she felt that she shouldn't accept so much.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to worry about it. Brother Yu and I got along well. These ten taels of silver can be regarded as making a friend, and I've rented this boat." Shen Luo could not retort.

"The young master is extraordinary and generous. He will surely live a long and wealthy life in the future..." The woman smiled from ear to ear. The more she looked at the young man in front of her, the more pleasing she became.
