Chapter 554: Moon Hunting

More than thirty finless porpoises raced against the waves, following each other beside the boat.

Fat catfish, immobile, with a round head, the largest three-headed water beast nested into the leather saddle, flicking its tail to straighten the iron chain.

!

The new ship and the old ship split the water waves, drifted together, and the white sails rose.

Ota Kai observes the wind direction, pulls the rope, and adjusts the direction of the sail at all times to take advantage of the wind.

compare to.

The two river otters temporarily loaned by the Scarface family were a little "clumsy" for the first time and were always scolded.

Two boats and six Jiangnen Shuiguan are completely insufficient.

The only blame is that the young otter is not doing well and the young otter is not prosperous enough. Guan Congjian settled in Zong Lichan's room. The two of them stepped on the connecting pedal and went to the deck of the ship to eat ice-cold watermelon and join in the chat with the brothers without any sense of violation. .

"Pfft, this is the first time I have grown up so far." Cao Rang, the son of the Sixth Division, spat out his words, "I heard that the further you go to the northwest, the bigger the state capitals are. Huangzhou, a Zhili Prefecture, can catch up with most of our southern states. A mansion!”

"It's normal. Senior Brother's Heyuan Mansion is here. Good guy, I've seen the map. It's a lot bigger than our Pingyang Mansion. It's scary!"

"The richer the place, the smaller and more finely the imperial court cuts it. If it is rich and big, it's okay. It will be troublesome if it causes trouble."

Liang Qu asked: "Sixth Senior Brother has never been to Huangzhou?"

My wife hasn’t been back for ten years. How can I have the chance to go to Huangzhou? I’m just waiting to open my eyes this time. "

"Where are the second senior brother and the third senior brother?"

Lu Gang nodded: "The two of us went there once, when my wife's father was celebrating his 80th birthday. Fast forward ten years.

However, it should be October when we get there, which coincides with the hunting month, so we might not be able to catch Huangzhou’s annual hunting fair.

"Shouyue, Dashouhui?"

Guan Congjian pricked up his ears like a mouse seeing millet.

Yu Dun smiled and said: "It is local custom. We have more people in the south, more water, fewer mountains, fewer forests, and fewer monsters. But from the Central Plains to the northwest, there is a saying of the Hunting Moon, which is the full moon next to the autumnal equinox full moon.

The full moon during the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon. Many crops are ripe, symbolizing a good harvest. At this time, the atmosphere turns cold, and wild animals want to store food for the winter and will go to Yuli to eat the residue.

When the moon is full again, a huge and full moon just illuminates the prey galloping in the forest, so the Great Hunting Festival comes into being. "

Lu Gang added: "It's similar to our River God Festival. Ordinary people catch wild boars, and martial artists catch monsters. Those who perform well will be favored by girls, and wealthy families will also chip in to set up prizes. The rewards are quite generous. When I came there, At that time, if you enter the first five meridians, the jade liquid will be guaranteed, and the first place will have a soul-nurturing treasure similar to the soul golden lotus. Therefore, the people of Huangzhou are martial and tough.

In the martial arts competition the year before last, one of the twenty-eight nights in Langyan was from Huangzhou. I forgot which one it corresponded to. "

Yu Dun nodded.

"We plant a lot of rice and wheat in rotation here, and the harvest month alone is postponed to early or even mid-October. There are not many monsters and beasts on land, so there is no such custom."

"OK!"

Guan Congjian, Xu Zishuai slapped his thigh fiercely, his own light was blazing, his blood was surging, he wished he could take the oar, row the boat manually, and fly to Huangzhou as soon as possible.

It is self-evident that the pulse marrow jade liquid attracts master Lang Yanwu. When it comes to the soul-nurturing treasure, Liang Qu is equally moved, but there is one thing he doesn't understand.

The Vein Marrow Jade Liquid is already worth a lot of money. If you have the top five items, how much money will it cost if you add the soul-nurturing treasure? "

Are Huangzhou people so generous?

The reason why so many people contributed money to the Yixing Town River God Festival is not because the big owner is really generous, but because he knows how to share.

If there is no profit, you can't afford to go early. Such a grand event costs a staggering amount every year. There are naturally ways to make money. Junior Brother will know it when he goes there. "

Yu Dun gave up and everyone looked forward to it even more.

Xu Zishuai turned around and said, "Ah Shui, when can we get to the mouth of the canal?"

Liang Qu raised his head.

Da Dakai slid down from the mast, opened the map, moved his paws, and made gestures that Xu Zishuai didn't understand.

"What's the meaning?"

"Let's go north first, pass through the Heishui River, and then rejoin the Jianghuai River. It can take as fast as two days or as slow as three days to reach the mouth of the Lanzhou Canal. Then we will meet up with Senior Brother. It will take about half a month to arrive."

"Half a month?" Xu Zishuai was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, let your water beast work harder! One day faster, one day more profit!"

puff!

Water surged up.

The fat catfish on the bow spit water into the sky.

Xu Zishuai pointed his finger: "What does this mean?"

"A treasure fish accelerates a hundred miles. The more you add, the faster it swims."

"Can I pay the debt first?"

puff!

Fat catfish spits again.

"A small fish business, no credit allowed."

"Hiss, you fish monster is so clever."

Xiang Changsong laughed: "Fourth Senior Brother, I'm afraid he can't even cheat a fish."

"It must be impossible!"

Xu Zishuai denied it.

Xiang Changsong raised his hand: "Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Lu, how can we call people when we get there?"

"Well."

Everyone looked at each other, and I really didn’t know what to call Master’s wife’s father, Grandpa Master?

Yu Dun waved his hand: "There is no need to think too much. Master's father is the official of Guanglu Temple. Let's just call him Master Xu."

night.

Liang Qu went into the water alone to build a vortex waterway leading to Shangrao Port. "The vortex waterway has never transformed into a magical power, but the quality built by Water King Monkey and Ze Rong is completely different."

Once built, it can be sustained for several months, and a waterway can be extended for hundreds of miles, a qualitative leap.

Liang Canal is ready to be laid all the way to Huangzhou, so that water animals and supplies can be exchanged at any time if needed.

Pengze, one of the five lakes on the Huaijiang River, is located near Huangzhou. It is far smaller in size than Jianghuai Daze, but it has a different scene.

The roads are well built.

Pengze and Jianghuai Daze are close neighbor lakes!

Early morning on the third day.

Densely crowded waterfowl circled the sky, waiting for the people on board to pour out the leftovers from last night's meal.

Guan Congjian got up early and took a bite of freshly baked crab meat dumplings, which made her mouth full of soup and her eyebrows fell off.

There was a Japanese master on board, and the Japanese master also brought two apprentices to help him. There was no reason not to make full use of three meals a day, including two meals of pasta, and an extra meal of snacks with tea in the afternoon.

Comfortable.

Liang Qu stood on the bow of the boat, blowing the river breeze, holding a large bowl of meat sauce noodles!

The Huaijiang River is so wide that you can't see the edge at a glance, and its waves are like tidal waves.

Merchant ships gathered together, each with long sails, ranging from as small as ten meters to as large as a hundred or even hundreds of meters.

The oars that raise the waves are more numerous than the fish in the eastern ocean; the walls of the galloping wind are more numerous than the bamboo shoots in the southern mountains." "It's really spectacular. It's the first time I've seen so many boats. Are we about to reach the mouth of the canal? "

Xu Zishuai followed him out holding the bowl.

"Well, Lanzhou, the intersection of the canal and the Jianghuai River, senior brother told us to go ashore and go near the Drum Tower. Someone is waiting for us. Hey, we've arrived at the port!"

Liang Qu wiped his mouth and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Otter took the helm and anchored the boat to the shore.

There are many gardenia poles.

The gap-toothed fisherman undressed and sailed through the water in a small boat, shouting and selling fish to the big boats passing by.

Jiang Otter put down the wooden ladder.

"Slow down."

Yang Dongxiong supported Xu and got off the deck.

"Sir, your boat is more than three feet, but less than ten feet. It is a medium-sized ship. You have not bought a boat space. Two boats can be moored for forty cents an hour, which is cheaper than four hundred cents a day. It will be calculated separately if you find someone to look at the boat. I don't know what you want. ...."If you stop for two hours first, you don't need to look at the boat. "

"okay."

The port clerk Ma Liu was looking for money at the cash register, turning a blind eye to Liang Qu's official uniform badge, which was really refreshing. Liang Qu asked with a smile: "I went to other counties to dock ships before, but no one dared to charge me money."

The clerk weighed the silver coins with a basket and picked out a few pieces of broken silver: "Sir, are you kidding me? How can ordinary people like us, who travel from north to south, afford a merchant ship of 100 feet?

But if we don't charge it, how can we repair such a big port?

Have a better attitude in everything. How can a noble person like you care about the tip of a drop in the bucket? Here's your change, my lord. "

"Okay, keep it."

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

"Hey, man, come and collect the money!"

"Yes, here we come!"

There is a big ship docked.

The waiter apologized and came forward to collect the money with his hand in hand.

"It's interesting."

"Ah Shui, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

"coming!"

Pier Drum Tower.

The two guards ate peanuts and chatted.

One of them glanced habitually from the corner of his eye, suddenly paused, and patted his companion on the shoulder.

, look south, is that your lord’s father? "

"Let me see your hands!"

The companion took out the picture album from his arms, compared it repeatedly, and raised his eyebrows, "It's unmistakable, exactly the same! The facial features are similar to Mr. Yang! Wait, who is the woman next to Mr. Yang's father?"

"My lord's mother?"

"It doesn't look like it, look."

The companion opened another picture album, which showed a woman. Although she could tell that she was a beauty when she was young, her temples were gray and her forehead was wrinkled. She couldn't be related to the woman in her thirties next to Yang Dongxiong!

"Do you have any sisters?"

"never heard of that."

Think for a moment.

The guard who opened the picture album slapped his forehead fiercely.

"The bad thing is that your father has taken a concubine!"

The two guards were chatting while eating peanuts. One of them glanced out of the corner of his eye habitually, suddenly paused, and patted his companion on the shoulder.

Let’s talk, look south, is that your lord’s father? "

"Let me see your hands!"
