Chapter 39: boatman

The water on the Luohe River was rippling, and in the distance the fisherman tucked up his sleeves and his pants. He picked up the net and scattered it in the river in preparation for fishing.
On the boat, the boss of the boat was sitting on the boat, smoking a hookah. A bamboo tube was half a person tall, and there was a mouth on the bottom, which was stuffed with some shredded tobacco. The boss of the ship pointed his mouth on it and sucked fiercely. There was a gurgling sound of water, and the water in this type of smoke gun became more and more flavorful, and the boat leader stood up with satisfaction and stretched a lazy waist.
There was a man approaching the boat. The boss of the boat didn't care about it. He came back to God when he got close. He immediately stood up and said, "It's Xu Ye, why do you have time to come here?"
There were a few people on the shore staring, seeing Pei Ziyun coming down from the ship, and disappearing far away, this Xu Ye came up and saw that there were not many people in the cabin of this passenger ship, only a few old and weak women waiting to sail, Xu Ye's face sank: "Talk inside!"
The barge was relatively large. Some of the cabins were dark and the light was very dim. I just lit an oil lamp on the table, afraid of misfires, low twists, and faint light.
Master Xu sat down, and across from him, the boss of the ship bowed his head in fear.
Ye Xu, staring at the boss, fanned the fan twice and said, "How are you doing business recently?"
"Tuo Duo and your blessing, you can eat on the water and feed your family."
"Ye Xu" hesitated for a while: "You ship, you have been going for a year, and if you don't say anything, two or two hundred will definitely make money."
The boss of the barge didn't know what to say. Seeing Xu Xu's face was tense: "Boss He, I'm not here for this matter, Lord Rud has something to tell you."
The barge boss lowered his head: "Despite the command, Lord, listen."
Xu Ye then said something, let the boss of the boat cooperate, and listening to the words on the rudder, the boss of the boat sweated for a while, and waved his hand: "This makes it impossible, this person is a scholar at first sight, go In the state, at least a talent, something went wrong, but the crime of beheading. "
The smile on Xu Ye ’s face was a close look, and his expression grew sour, and he said impatiently,
I do n’t want you to kill someone. Just let me get on the boat, and you cooperate, let him get off the boat, take a few sips, and suffer in the river. A little hurt, what are you afraid of? "
"And this is the meaning of the rudder, you are the person on the rudder, the rules you understand, if you do not want, the government will not arrest you, but this rudder can not spare you."
As soon as I heard this, the old ship's thighs were soft, and his sweat was on his forehead. The old ship's boss who ate and drank on the river joined the local river rudder in most cases.
When there is an event, there is money to give money and strength, and there is protection on weekdays. Now the rudder has come to order, and the boss of the boat will be punished in the rudder. The three swords and six holes will be indispensable. Can't go on-if you mix again, it's the same as the boss who refused to join the ship. One day, the ship will overturn and the family will feed the fish!
The old barge's hands and feet trembled, and he had to promise: "Yes, yes, the villain has come, has come!"
I was just sweating, and I had to wipe it with my hands. Ye Xu glanced at the boss of the ship, sneered a few times, and a few people on the shore and on the shore said a few words, and then came back and said, "You'll be a boatman."
"How dare you, Lord Xu!"
"Rest assured, I used to be a good boatman and couldn't see any flaws." Xu Ye sneered.
Speaking of food and drink, Pei Ziyun came out of the hotel, and the sun was drying, and there were many shadows under the trees on both sides of the street.
I reached the side of the river and saw that there were many passengers on board.
As soon as I walked up, I saw a boatman glance at himself, his face flickered and looked fierce. Pei Ziyun felt strange. When did this boatman come with a bad expression?
I took another look and saw that this ship is dedicated to transporting people. It has two floors, there are front and rear cabins, the cabin hangs down the curtain, there are a few boatmen on board, and even a cook is seen. Although such a ship is mixed, it has long-term business. Shouldn't it be a black ship?
He was hesitant. The boss of the ship held the hookah with a smile on his face: "Guest, please get on board. The people on board are almost there, and they are leaving."
Pei Ziyun smiled, reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, and then followed the boss to get on the ship.
He climbed on the deck of the ship, and the next point was the ship building. The ship was not big. There was only a two-story ship building. He followed the ship's boss and, as he passed the stairs, saw that there were still people sitting in the room.
I saw Pei Ziyun a little strange. The boss of the ship introduced: "Those are going to the same house as Xianggong. They will arrive in the afternoon in the cabin below this deck."
Pei Ziyun glanced into the cabin, there were some people sitting in the cabin, there were poor students, there were elderly, women, children, not full, there were many places, just a glance, and continued with the boss Heading upstairs.
I walked upstairs and saw a lot of rooms, but the rooms were very small.
The boss of the ship reached a room and opened it with the key. Pei Ziyun looked at the room, it was small, and opened two windows. When he looked out from the window, he could see the river outside. The river was sparkling. sound.
I looked around, there was a bed, a table.
The barge boss said: "Sangong, this is the best room on the ship."
He heard the sound of reading next door, and the boss said, "This is a single room, and the surrounding ones are also comrades. I am going to the state to take the exam, so I have a reading sound, but I live in a room for four people."
Pei Ziyun saw that the inside was quite clean. Although the place was small, but the space on the boat was good. Didn't you see people crowding below, and the scenery outside the window was pretty good, and said, "OK, just stare at this room."
As I said, I threw away a piece of silver or two. The boss of the ship stunned and immediately smiled: "Okay, sage, please come to the hall for dinner three times a day."
Pei Ziyun nodded. At this time, the ship started. There were already 20 or 30 guests on board, including merchants, rushing for talents, merchants, people on board, and a mix of three teachings and nine streams of fish and dragons. At this moment, a blue shirt gentleman made Bian: "In Xiayu Guangmao, I went to the provincial capital Qiuyi, and I am honored to be on the same boat with Brother Pei."
Pei Ziyun bowed his hand in return: "Brother Yu is polite, we have all met."
I heard the voice next door. Three scholars came out. They were in the age of twenty-seven, eighty to thirty, and it was also the last time they met at the show.
These people came out and saw Pei Ziyun are all happy, came up to say hello, Pei Ziyun said: "It was the brothers Taiwan, Li Li, Wang Wang, Yi Yi, it was the same boat rush?"
Wu Xiucai had something to say, talking in the aisle, and it was about this state's trials. These show have been to several times, or once, very familiar.
Pei Ziyun saw a few beds in the cabin room, and there was no space left. It was strange that these shows should not be so exhausted.
Yu Guangmao smiled and said, "The state test takes place every three years, and the journey is long. It is not easy for me to go there once. Some of us are familiar with each other, so we discussed living in a room, so we followed the boat boss to add an extra bed. I lived in the same room, so I had a care, so I could exchange knowledge! "
When Pei Ziyun saw the four people say this, and saw the four people were asleep, they knew they were not telling the truth, or they did n’t have much money. Hard work, it seems that we have to learn from several people. "
I just finished talking, and smiled when I saw several shows.
The boss of the ship didn't go far. At this moment, he saw in his heart that he was a talent, and knew the group in a blink of an eye. The lord was harming the genius. According to the meaning of the helm, he promoted the disease in the water. Anxious, fell, who knows what is going to happen, only this person will die in the river, only one person, these shows are here, in case of revenge, you have to eat and you ca n’t take it away. When I thought about it, I sweated on my forehead, and wiped my hands. On the upside, "You guys, the boat has gone out of the county smoothly. Without accident, you can reach the provincial capital in three days."
After that, the boss of the ship left, and everyone didn't care. After these chats, all five gradually became familiar with each other, and said to Pei Ziyun, "This state trial, talents gather, I don't know who can raise people in high school. Guangzong Yaozu. "
说 Sayed this way, several talents sighed, and the atmosphere was a bit lonely. Pei Ziyun wanted to persuade him and found that he could not persuade him, so he had to quit and return to the room to study.
It was dark, and someone knocked on the door. Pei Ziyun opened the door and saw that a boatman had said that he had eaten. So he went and found that the food on the boat was still good, with fish ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Vegetables, eggs, fruits, The fish was selected on the spot, and the chef had good skills. Pei Ziyun ordered three or four dishes and the taste was not bad. Waiting for a while before someone came down. After Pei Ziyun finished eating, he didn't see the four show members. It was strange.
Nothing happened in the evening. There was a sound of reading next door, but as the night got deeper, the sound of reading gradually stopped, and the boat fell silent, and went to bed early.
"Oh, cry?"
In the middle of the night, Pei Ziyuntu was awakened by the sound of the next door, and there was a cry, and listened carefully, but it was comforted by several people: "Why is this Brother Yi?"
"... I have a poor family, and I have two or three times a day of hors d'oeuvre every year? Even so, my mother and wife saved money to entangle me to take the test, but I was thirty-three years old. This time I missed it. Patience, I have to find a library to teach and earn a dozen or two dollars a year. "
"I want to come at night at this time, I can't help but hope you don't care." Said, the man received the voice, and gradually, there was no sound, only tossing and turning, it was obvious that the people in the next room could not sleep.
Pei Ziyun also couldn't sleep, and didn't want to disturb these people, so he put on the deck and looked up to the sky. The night was clear and starry, and he thought to himself, "How many people can read the truth in reality?"
"Most people are devoted and have only white hair and end up sadly."
"So I know the beauty of plum blossoms and the embarrassment of the original owner. I gave this weapon that changed my destiny to others, let alone, the young man is always full of blood and an idiot. Only 30 or 40 years old, he will understand this. How valuable. "
I was thinking about pacing, but before I knew it, I suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice. These two voices had been heard during the day. One was the boss, and the other was the boatman. The boss's voice was a little trembling. Xiucai hands-on? "
