Chapter 2 Yingqiong? It was Shushan
Wang Xiu on the shore saw it clearly, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, the boatman, that's all, I can get on the boat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu jumped forward lightly, his breath subsided and he jumped up like a big step.
Wang Xiu bowed his hand to the boatman and the old man and said, "Thank you, the boatman, thank you for your willingness to take me along."
"This master is very skilled." The old man showed a smile on his face and bowed.
"It's a friend who is destined to walk around the world. You are so lucky. But where did the master's outfit come from?"
"Haha, I'm not a monk. Boy Wang Xiu. His family lived in seclusion in the ancient temple in the mountains decades ago. His clothes were a little weird, nothing. As for this hair, I just felt that it was so cool and convenient, so I cut it like this."
The old man has been walking in the world for many years and has seen strange people and things. It is not surprising now, so he bowed his hands.
"Have you escaped from the deep mountains? So that's it, that's me Menglang."
After Wang Xiu greeted the old man for a while, he went straight into the boat, hit a clean place to sit down, and raised his head to ask the boatman.
"Boatman, I just came out of the deep mountains and wanted to go down to Yangzhou. I wonder if I can go along the way?"
Yangzhou? When the old man heard this place name, his heart was nervous and he was overshadowed.
The boatman shook his head and replied, "This is not possible. We have a charter for boats and meals. We need a big ship to go so far. We can't do it. However, I can take you to the crow's mouth below. When I will take you downstream during the day tomorrow, there will be a big ship."
"Oh, that's right, that's fine. I don't know how much the ship cost. I don't have much change on hand. I have a gold leaf, so I don't know how to find it." Wang Xiu took out a thin piece of gold leaf, weighing about 6.6 grams. It was the money that Wang Xiu knew this time that he might travel to the ancient world.
"This, the customer is too expensive, but it can't be found." The boatman shook his head and refused, and said, "It's better to do this. It's too late. The customer goes ashore behind the crow's mouth. There is a shop. Just buy and sell some food and exchange some silver. Just send it to you. I don't want you to have more. Just include the money for the boat to go downstream tomorrow."
Wang Xiu didn't know the money of the Qing Dynasty in this era, but he knew that one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver was equal to ten coins of silver. One qian of silver was about 100 cents, which looked like about 100 yuan.
One tael of silver equals 1,000 yuan, and ten taels equals 10,000 yuan.
The golden leaves are equal to more than 60,000 yuan in hand.
So when the boatman finished speaking, he looked at another boatman in the boat with a mysterious look. He obviously had bad intentions, and the old man beside him looked at him with a real look.
This kid has just left the world, why haven’t he heard the truth that the elders are not showing their wealth? The old man frowned slightly. Forget it, after he gets off the boat, let’s remind him.
I went along the way and walked forward. Soon it was the time when the moon was hanging high. At night, the boat stopped at the shore of the crow's mouth.
When Wang Xiu was about to get off the boat, he saw the father and daughter who had already put on their own wine and food and drink at the bow of the boat. He heard the old man say:
"Since my little friend Wang Xiu is not a monk, if you don't dislike it, my little girl Yingqiong has cooked some water and wine. Why not come and drink a glass of water and wine?"
Wang Xiu thought about it, nodded, and smiled heartily: "Thank you, old man, but I want to go to the town to buy some casual clothes and exchange for some broken silver."
Yingqiong?
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he was shocked. Could it be? Li Yingqiong? You can't be wrong. This was the Wuxia area during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Yes, it was not the Deer and the Cauldron, but the Shushan Mountain!
Wang Xiu's thoughts changed sharply.
No, you can't ask about his identity here, otherwise it will be troublesome if the two of you are wary. You should go ashore first and then slowly think about the countermeasures.
At this time, the two boatmen on the boat had already arrived on the shore. Before they could walk far away in the night, they walked to the corner with a fierce look on their faces: "This old man meddled with other people's business, and seemed to have seen something. Should we slaughter him together?"
"Look again, look again, that old man is not simple... Okay, that fat sheep didn't listen to the old man. Go, follow me, I'll call someone to eat this fat sheep."
"Okay, I don't know how many golden leaves there are on this fat sheep, but she is so generous."
Wang Xiu got off the boat, got on the shore, and headed towards the bright lights of the town on the shore.
On the bow of the boat, the old man looked at Wang Xiu's back and sighed slightly: "This man has revealed his money. He may suffer some trouble when he goes ashore. It's easy to say that he loses money, but he is afraid that he will lose his life."
"Dad, that person doesn't listen to advice, that's not right. That's when his father is kind enough to remind him, he can't blame others if he doesn't listen."
"Yingqiong, my father just couldn't bear to suffer this young man... No, he had kung fu on his body, it was not good. Because of this, he was afraid that someone would die." The old man thought a little far away. He thought that it was Wang Xiu who had kung fu on his body, and was surrounded by others to resist, and he was afraid that he would have life worries.
"Yingqiong, you are waiting on the boat, I'll save him."
"Yes, dad."
Let’s talk about Wang Xiu’s arrival, found a restaurant, had some food, changed into silver, and went to the clothing shop to buy two sets of medium-sized Qing Dynasty clothing, and changed into a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes.
On the way back, I passed by a dark alley. A group of five or six people surrounded Wang Xiu with knives and sticks. The leader was two boatmen.
Wang Xiu's face was slightly cold, and he frowned and said, "Boatman, what are you going to do?"
The head boatman looked straight and raised the long sword in his hand.
"Boy, please be aware of your feelings and hand over the golden leaves to save your life."
On the other side, the old man came ashore and wanted to save Wang Xiu. Not long after he got ashore, a man in white was walking far away from the woods, walking along the way, singing along the way, his tone was clear and he could break up the stone.
The old man was stunned when he heard the song: "This, this song...is it my third brother?"
He shouted loudly: "But third brother?! It's me!"
The man in white was shocked when he heard the shout, and then he was happy and came quickly. When the two met, they hugged their heads and cried.
"Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here. In the battle of Yangzhou, I heard that my brother has turned into a foreign object, but I didn't expect to meet in a foreign land..."
"Three brothers, stay here, but I went ashore to save people. Who would have thought that a good heart would allow me to meet you, third brother. Let's go and save the person first."
"Yes, this person is an opportunity for you and my brothers to meet, and we must save them."
Let’s talk about these two old brothers, hurried towards the town with whipping horses, and suddenly a voice came from:
"Old man, where are you going? Do you want Wang to help?"
"Ah? Are you okay?" said the old man.
Wang Xiu laughed and bowed to the old man, "I thanked the old man for his concern. I knew that the two boatmen had bad intentions in their hearts. Before they got ashore, they felt that their eyes were wrong. As expected, they called people to surround me on the road, and they killed them for a while and dealt with them. This was fine. They were bad intentions and were knocked unconscious by me, and I saved the ship money."
