Chapter 192: A Favorable Boat
Chapter 192: Sailboat
The next day, morning.
Ye Xiaochuan was quarreling with Baili Yuan, and the two had big differences because of the route issue.
Ye Xiaochuan meant to go north, then turn west when reaching Jiannan County, and go to the Duantian Cliff in the west to participate in the fighting. More than five months would be enough time.
The route he chose was the route taken by most of the disciples who participated in the Duantian Cliff Fighting. It was also the route taken by many cultivators who were slowly gathering towards the Duantian Cliff.
However, Bailiyuan felt that there was still more than five months left, so there was no need to rush on the road in such a hurry. She suggested renting a boat from the waterway eastward and heading eastward along the Yangtze River to experience the unstoppable cries of apes on both sides of the river and the sight of the canoe. The wonderful artistic conception of crossing the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Then we disembarked at Jinling, transferred to Jiangnan, the richest place in the Central Plains, spent a month there, and then went north along the Qinhuai River into the Central Plains.
If time permits, go and burn a few sticks of incense on Mount Xumi and pray for a good result in the Duantianya Doufu. If time allowed, she would also like to play in the capital where tigers and dragons dominate.
Ye Xiaochuan rolled his eyes and said, "You still want to go to the capital? Why didn't you say you would go to Tianchi to pick up sister Xiaochi?"
Baili Yuan waved her hand and said: "I have thought about it, but Tianchi is too far away and it is very cold. I don't want to wear a bloated bearskin cotton-padded jacket and ruin my good figure."
The argument is fruitless. One goes north and the other goes east. One person must give in.
So the two of them started drawing lots, throwing copper coins, making wine orders, rock-paper-scissors, and tiger-stick-chicken. They quarreled from morning until noon, and then decided on a rough road map.
It was Ye Xiaochuan who lost, he lost in all the events.
Standing at the pier in the north of the city, I watched Baili Yuan proudly bargaining with a ship boss.
Ye Xiaochuan was very depressed. He couldn't figure out why he had lost ten times in front of Baili Yuan in his best game of rock, paper, scissors, and never won once. This was unreasonable, very unreasonable.
After Baili Yuan's bargaining, he rented a single-masted boat for two taels of silver a day. When Ye Xiaochuan saw the dilapidated boat with only one cabin, his face suddenly turned green.
He jumped up and faced the dark boatman: "This broken boat costs twenty taels of silver a day? You might as well go and rob it!"
The boat boss shrugged nonchalantly and said: "Sir, March and April are the best times to travel on the Yangtze River. It would be good to rent one. Don't be too shabby about this old man's boat, but it's already a long way to go on the Yangtze River waterway. For decades, there have been few problems. Take the Wo Lai Ye reef for example. The old man's boat didn't sink even after it hit it. "
Ye Xiaochuan finally understood. This ship was almost at the end of its life. Such a broken ship still dared to make a living on the Yangtze River. It didn't take human life seriously.
Ye Xiaochuan was very afraid of death. The most important thing was that he didn't know whether he could swim. What if the broken boat suddenly broke up in the middle of the river? Wouldn't he drown himself?
When she was struggling, Baili Yuan had already jumped into the boat first. She didn't care. In the huge waves of the East China Sea, she often drove a small boat to catch sharks.
Of course, she also wanted to ride on the huge, monster-like five-toothed ship next to her, but she had no money in her pocket, and a poor person couldn't be picky.
She called Ye Xiaochuan to get on the boat, but of course Ye Xiaochuan refused to get on. Bailiyuan jumped up and saw that the single-masted boat had almost sunk. He didn't think anything terrible would happen if he got on it again. Maybe the boat hadn't sailed yet. As soon as we left the pier, our corpses had already sunk to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.
Your life is the most important, you can't go up if you kill him.
He said to Baili Yuan: "Your idea is really stupid. Isn't it just to go down the river? I have a way. Not only does it not cost money, but you can also ride on a big ship."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a large ship that was loading goods.
In Bailiyuan's confused expression, Ye Xiaochuan was seen carrying a huge piece of wood and throwing it onto the large cargo ship, and then talking to a fat man wearing silk.
Soon, Bailiyuan saw Ye Xiaochuan waving to her.
Baili Yuan flew ashore from the boat, and the boatman said, "Miss, do you still want to rent this boat?"
Baili Yuan said: "Your ship is about to break up. Who will rent your ship?"
Ye Xiaochuan suddenly changed his identity and became a sailor guard on the large cargo ship of this Jinjiang company transporting silk, tea, and nanmu.
Ye Xiaochuan used a simple move with infinite power, which immediately impressed the shopkeeper. It was just as Ye Xiaochuan said. Not only did he not spend a penny, he also had food and accommodation included, and he was not tired because he had to divert to Dongting Lake on the way. There are tea leaves in Junshan, where water thieves are rampant. As long as the water thieves come, they can be driven away.
This simple job made Baili Yuan hit her head. Why didn't she think of relying on her ability to make a smooth sailing? As a result, she has become the sister of Ye Xiaochuan inexplicably, and she is also the kind of useless sister.
According to Ye Xiaochuan, the two siblings were going to Jinling. Because they were short of money, they decided to rent a boat for free. Ye Xiaochuan could work as a guard for the cargo ship for free. They only needed food, accommodation and food. Just my useless sister.
The shopkeeper couldn't ask for a good thing like wages. The fat shopkeeper saw the young man in front of him. He was carrying a weapon on his back. He was so powerful that he could withstand a thousand-jin giant tree by himself. He looked like a Lianjiazi. He was a talented person. He wanted to You can't afford to hire such a person as a bodyguard without ten taels of silver a month.
Now that the young man doesn't want to be paid, what else can he say? He immediately agreed to Ye Xiaochuan's request.
Then, he asked Ye Xiaochuan to carry the nanmu he had just carried onto the ship down again and throw it into the water.
This ship was loaded with silk and tea, and the nanmu was tied with ropes and dragged in the water. This is a real profiteer who will never miss any available value space. He put dozens of nanmu in the water and dragged them, not caring whether the boat behind would hit the nanmu and sink.
