Chang Wen asked, "uncle, what's the name of the boatman who brought Caixia up from Qingjiang River? Where do you live? "

Shi Xiaogu shook his head and replied: "at that time, I was in a coma. I didn't remember to ask the boatman about these things. I just wanted to thank him again and again. That night, I drank a lot of wine. The next day, when I woke up, the boatman and the boatman had already left."

"Uncle, is there any sign on the boss's cargo ship? For example, numbers and so on. "

"There seems to be a number of 88."

Chang Wen was right. This 88 freighter was the one who picked up Caixia's body.

The old man standing in the bow must be the boss.

Chang Wen asked, "uncle, why did the boatman stay at your house all night?"

"The boatman said that he wasted a lot of time in order to catch the rosy clouds. He said that there was a dangerous beach in the downstream and he had to go there before noon. Otherwise, there would be the risk of capsizing and death."

"Oh, so it is."

In the afternoon, Chang Wen went to Qingjiang River again.

There was a small boat by the river. Several bearers were carrying things to it.

A man who looks like a boatman, with his waist crossed, looks at the porter carrying things.

Chang Wen went over and asked respectfully, "uncle, are you the boss of the boat?"

The man glanced at Chang Wen and nodded.

"Uncle, I want to ask: is there a dangerous beach to swim down from here?"

The man replied, "there are no dangerous beaches on the Qingjiang River."

Chang Wen was surprised and asked, "uncle, I heard that there is a dangerous beach when you swim down from here. If the ship passes this dangerous beach, it must be before noon, or it will capsize and die."

"Who did you listen to?" the man asked

"Uncle, I also listen to a boatman."

"Fart! That man is definitely not the boatman. I've been running on Qingjiang River for 20 years, but I've never heard of any dangerous shoals. However, it's true that the water in some sections of Qingjiang River is very shallow in winter, and it's impossible to run big ships. But in this season, the water is very deep, and no matter how big the ships are, they can run. Of course, if it's a ten thousand ton ship, it can't enter Qingjiang River. "

Chang Wen was surprised. According to the boatman, the boatman who was fishing for Caixia lied.

Why would he lie?

Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of this lie to stay at shigu's house for one night.

Why did the boatman stay at shigu's house for one night?

He certainly didn't want to mix up two meals or stay for free for one night. There must be his intention.

What is the intention of the boatman?

Does it have anything to do with Caixia's body being stolen?

A series of questions appear in the brain of Changwen.

Chang Wen stands by the Qingjiang River and searches around. He hopes to see the 88 freighter again. He wants to ask the boatman: why lie? Why stay at shigu's all night?

All these questions should be answered by the captain of the 88 freighter.

Chang Wen stayed by the Qingjiang River for three days in a row. He hoped to meet freighter 88 again.

As the old saying goes, Kung Fu is worthy of those who want to do it.

On the fourth day when Chang Wen was waiting by the Qingjiang River, he finally saw the 88 freighter.

As expected, the boatman was still standing in the bow, looking in the direction of Shijia village.

Chang Wen waved and yelled, "uncle, do you still know me?"

"Young man, why are you standing by the river again? You... You don't want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, do you

"Uncle, if I wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river, I would have jumped. Why should I stand here for several days?"

"Ha ha... Young man, are you looking at the scenery?"

"Uncle, I've been waiting for you."

"Why are you waiting for me?"

"Uncle, I want to talk to you."

"Ha ha... We don't know each other. What can we talk about? What are you going to ship? "

"Uncle, I don't have any goods to ship. I have something important to talk to you about."

"Young man, the most important thing is to earn money and eat. I don't have time to chat with you."

"Uncle, can you get the boat ashore and give me ten minutes?"

"Young man, I'm in a hurry. I'm waiting for this cargo."

"Uncle, where do you live? What's your name? Can you tell me that I'll come to your house

"Ha ha... Are you checking your account? You are a strange man, young man

"I really have something urgent. Please take time to talk with me."

"Young man, if you really want to talk to me, come to the Tianxia family restaurant in Changle Town at 12 noon tomorrow. After this time, I won't wait."

"Uncle, I remember that at 12 o'clock tomorrow, we will meet in the world and never see each other."

Freighter 88 is far away.

Chang Wen beckons to the freighter. He is very happy. The boatman finally agrees to meet him.

He returned to Shi's home and asked Shi Xiaogu, "uncle, is there a Changle Town nearby?"

"Changle Town is more than 50 kilometers away from here. What are you doing there?"

"Uncle, I have a friend there. I want to meet him."

"If you want to go to Changle Town, you have to walk more than 20 miles to Taiping Town and take a coach."

"Well, I'll go early tomorrow morning."

The next day, as soon as it was light, Chang Wen could not attend to breakfast, so he put a few steamed buns on the road.

He trotted all the way to Taiping Town, got on the first coach, and arrived at Changle Town at 11 o'clock.

This is a small town close to Qingjiang River.

The town is not big, there is only one decent restaurant, the name of which is the whole family.

Chang Wen looks at his watch. It's only eleven twenty-five minutes.

He went into the hotel.

A sister-in-law in her forties warmly said, "handsome man, please sit down."

The hotel is not big. There are only four tables. There are no diners at this time.

It seems that the business of this hotel is not very prosperous.

No wonder it's located in the hills and sparsely populated. The local people are also very poor. How can they afford a restaurant.

Chang Wen selects a table by the window and sits down.

"Handsome, what would you like to eat?"

My sister-in-law brought me a recipe.

When Chang Wen looks at it, this recipe is handwritten.

"What's your specialty?"

My sister-in-law showed off: "handsome man, the specialty of my hotel is very famous. The most famous dish is potato rot, which is loved by all men, women, old and young."

Chang Wen frowned. What's the point of eating a rotten potato.

The sister-in-law saw Chang Wen's mind and explained, "handsome man, this Potato Rot is a famous local dish. In fact, its full name should be old hen cooked tofu."

Chang Wen is not here to eat, but to date, so he is not interested in food.

"Are you the landlady?"

"Ha ha... Handsome man, your eyes are very poisonous. How do you see that I am the boss's wife?"

"In fact, it's very simple. If you are a cook, you must wear an apron and a hat; If you're a runner, you'll at least wear a sleeve, but you're not wearing an apron or a sleeve. Naturally, you're the landlady. "

"Ha ha... Handsome guy, in fact, your guess is not completely right."

"Am I wrong? No, I believe I'm bald. "
