151. There Are Monsters Under The Water! [Please Give Me Flowers And Review Votes]
After bidding farewell to Old Man Li, he summoned the Yizhi Gang and made corresponding arrangements.
at last……
Wei Yuan came to his earth temple.
"This time I leave, I don't know when I will come back. The only thing I can't worry about is this earth temple."
Now that the war is over, the Shangyang family has won a great victory, and Caixu Town is an important granary and has been guarded by four masters, so sooner or later they will send two new masters.
When a new master comes, new apprentices will emerge. Since Wei Yuan is not here to control the situation, many variables will inevitably occur.
"Must save a hand."
Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, brought a big stone and set it up in front of the Tutu Temple, and carved a line of words with a big knife:
"I will attack those who are discordant!"
The implication:
"Whoever violates the rules I set is a disharmonious person. I, Wei Yuan, will definitely come back to punish you!"
The next day, it was dawn.
A carriage set off from Qin Mansion, clattering, leaving Caixu Town and drifting away.
After passing Sword Town, turn onto a main road leading to the south.
The journey lasted almost two days.
"Sir, Xiaotonghe has arrived. The coachman stopped the carriage and shouted into the carriage.
Wei Yuan slowly opened his eyes and got out of the car.
With a quick glance, next to the road is a small river with a width of only five or six meters. The water of the river is as green as jade and flows quietly.
There is a ferry on the river bank, and there are seven or eight awning boats.
The coachman said: "Sir, if you take a boat from here and go downstream, you can reach the end of Xiaotong River and turn into Pingjiang River in half a day. You will have to change to a big boat by then."
Xiaotong River is a tributary of Pingjiang River.
Wei Yuan wanted to go to Ice and Fire City from here. The distance was relatively long, and the land route was tortuous and difficult, so it was better to take the water route.
"I know, you can go back." Wei Yuan rewarded the driver and walked to the river bank, carrying only a package and an exaggeratedly large hammer.
Arrived at the ferry.
"This young master, where are you going?"
"Sir, please be my boat. It will be fast and stable."
Several boatmen on awning boats competed to wave and solicit customers.
Wei Yuan glanced around and intuitively selected one of the kind-looking ship doctors.
The two quickly agreed on the price.
"Sir, please come on board." The boatman smiled honestly.
Wei Yuan held a long-handled hammer and stepped on the bow of the boat. There was a splash and the bow of the boat sank suddenly.
"Ah this!"
The boatman was really shocked. The burly young man in front of him almost stepped his boat into the water. This was too violent and it must have been heavy.
Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed, so he quickly retracted his feet, gently lowered the long-handled hammer, pressed it in the middle of the boat, and observed (bcdj).
The hull sank a little, but it didn't sink.
Afterwards, Wei Yuan secretly used Chi Mu Jin to make his body lighter. Then he boarded the ship carefully and sat down firmly.
After confirming that the black-topped boat was safe and sound, Chi Mujin let go.
Seeing this scene, the boatman was frightened and worried. Fortunately, everything was fine in the end.
"Master, sit down and let's go!"
The boatman yelled, rowed the boat with both hands, and sang folk songs while rowing, looking high-spirited.
Finished a folk song.
"Sir, where are you going?" The boatman was obviously a good talker and chatted with Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan replied: "The destination is Ice and Fire City."
The boatman understood: "That's good, my brother-in-law is working on a passenger ship at Pingjiang Ferry. When we get there, I will take you to him to ensure that you can buy a ticket."
Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is it difficult to buy tickets over there?"
Boatman: "Pingjiang is a big river, with deep and wide waterways. It is not a small waterway like Xiaotong River. I heard from my brother-in-law that Pingjiang has not been peaceful in the past few years. There are rumors that there are monsters under the water. Several passenger ships capsize every year. On board All the people and goods sank to the bottom of the river, and no one survived.
As a result, now only the giant iron-clad ships dare to ply the Pingjiang River. Only one giant iron-clad ship sails to Ice and Fire City every half month, so tickets are naturally hard to come by. "
"There are monsters under the water..."
Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly. He naturally knew what this monster was. It was probably an aquatic demon.
There was no gossip along the way.
In the afternoon, the awning boat arrived at the end of Xiaotong River and turned into a wide river channel.
"Master, look, this is Pingjiang."
The boatman pointed to the river, then turned to the other side of the river, "The ferry is over there, I'll take you there.
Wei Yuan stood up and made a visual inspection. The width of Pingjiang River was at least two thousand meters, and the water was surging, which was quite spectacular.
At the ferry on the other side of the river, you can see many boats in the distance.
Some of the ships seemed surprisingly large.
Crossing the river easily, the awning boat stopped at the edge of the ferry.
Coming closer.
Wei Yuan looked left and right, and saw several huge iron boats parked at the ferry. They were more than three hundred meters long and thirty or forty meters wide. The size of the boats was staggering.
"This scale is almost as big as a giant cruise ship." Wei Yuan exclaimed.
"Sir, let's go this way." The boatman greeted and pointed to an iron self-propelled wheel.
The two walked over.
The boatman found a young man, turned back, and spread his hands and said: "Sir, the boat to Ice and Fire City will leave in four days. You are a bit late. The tickets have been sold out."
Wei Yuan was speechless when he heard the boatman continue: "My brother-in-law has come up with a plan. If the young master is willing to aggrieve a little, he can arrange for you to stay in the warehouse.
Wei Yuan doesn't care.
"Let's arrange it this way first."
Afterwards, Wei Yuan stayed at an inn next to the ferry. He didn’t fully believe the boatman’s words and asked about the situation. He found out that he was not lied to. “It’s really hard to buy ferry tickets.
In the blink of an eye, four days later.
Wei Yuan boarded the iron ship with the help of the boatman's brother-in-law.
The hull is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The lowest layer is the cargo warehouse.
"There is a corner in the warehouse, about the size of half a room. No goods are usually stored there, so you stay in that place." said the brother-in-law.
Wei Yuan: "How long does it take to arrive at Ice and Fire City?"
The brother-in-law replied: "If everything goes well, we will arrive in four days."
Wei Yuan understood and walked into the warehouse. What he saw was a lot of goods. Sure enough, one corner was empty.
There was a lot of dust on the floor, but it wasn't damp.
Wei Yuan used his strength to blow out strong winds. He swept it a little and made it cleaner before sitting cross-legged.
"Hey, I didn't expect there were other people here."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked over. He had a round face, long slanted eyebrows, greasy and messy hair, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and smelled of alcohol.
The man cupped his hands at Wei Yuan, glanced at the long-handled hammer beside Wei Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "I'm Zhu Quan, I've met my brother. Alas, I haven't bought a ticket either. It looks like I want to go with my brother. Do you mind if you share this corner with me?"
Wei Yuan also returned the courtesy: "I'm Wei Yuan, I've met Brother Zhu, please feel free to do so."
Zhu Quan laughed, walked to the side, sat down casually, took a sip of wine, then handed the wine gourd to Wei Yuan, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Wei, would you like a sip?"
Wei Yuan shook his head: "I don't drink because I'm drunk.
"You don't drink?"
Zhu Quan was a little disappointed and muttered: "A man is boring if he doesn't drink. Alas, drinking alone is boring.
Wei Yuan ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.
Unexpectedly, after a while, another young woman came here holding a baby.
The young woman wore a headscarf and could not hide her beauty. She was obviously afraid of Wei Yuan and Zhu Quan. She did not even dare to say hello, so she huddled in a corner.
After a while, another white-haired old man came with a little girl. There was not much expression on his face. He just slightly bowed his hands to Wei Yuan and others and walked to another corner to sit down.
