Chapter 48: Yu Bold

"This..." The guy's eyes rolled, and his face looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chen Luo knew it in his heart, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

The guy glanced at him, his eyes lit up and he reached out and he was about to take it.

"Tell me first." Chen Luo raised his hand and gently covered the silver, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Cough... If I remember correctly, there is only one person named Yu, who is a boat in the Huangree Mang water section. There are more than ten miles of water in the water area, and there are too many reefs and rocks, and the water flow is fast, so the man in the Yu family can sail there." The guy coughed dryly, withdrew his hand, and said angrily.

Chen Luo was happy when he heard this. He picked up the broken silver and put it in the hand of the client, but did not let go immediately. He continued to ask:

"Where is the yellow reed marsh? Is it easy to find a place?"

"It's easy to find. After leaving the west gate, you'll arrive fifty or sixty miles southwest. If you can't find it on the road, just ask someone to ask, just ask Yu Dabang." The guy felt the coldness in his palm, smiled and spoke quickly.

"It's a good guy." Chen Luo smiled and let go of his hand.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? The city gates have been closed early in recent days, and usually they are closed at the Xu hour. You should pay attention to the return time when you are on a trip." The shopkeeper smiled and thanked him repeatedly, and put away the broken silver.

Chen Luo waved his hand, and the guy bent down and stepped back.

After eating, Shen Luo led his horse out of the city and headed his way to the southwest. After about half an hour, he arrived at the bank of the river.

There are many flows of influx in the upper reaches of Luanshui River. The river surface is quite wide. On both sides of the artificial embankments and the tidal flats adjacent to the water, thick elm willow trees grow everywhere, with dense willow branches hanging down, swaying constantly with the summer breeze.

Shen Luo walked along the river bank. After walking for more than ten miles, he found that the riverbed of Luanshui River began to shrink little by little, and the originally wide water surface gradually narrowed by dozens of feet, causing the originally calm water to gradually become turbulent.

The more you move forward, sand bars exposed to the water began to appear on the river surface, with dense reeds growing on it, with green reed leaves, making a "rake" sound by the wind, and water birds flew out from time to time.

After driving the horse for more than ten miles, Chen Luo finally saw an old elm tree dozens of feet tall not far from the riverside ahead, and a simple thatched hut was built in the shade under the tree.

On the water shore not far from the thatched hut, a small black boat was tied to it, and a bamboo pole about ten feet long was inserted beside the boat.

He came not far from under the elm tree and jumped off his horse, and walked slowly with the reins.

"Can the boatman be there?" Shen Luo stood outside the house and shouted loudly.

"Hey, here we are..." A response sounded quickly, his voice quite rough.

Immediately afterwards, a stout middle-aged man walked out of the hut.

Chen Luo looked up and down and found that the person's skin was too dark, his appearance was three or four points similar to Yu Meng. He couldn't help but feel that this person might be one of the ancestors of Yu.

"I dare to ask if it's Yu Zhouzi?" Chen Luo asked.

"Haha, what the guest said is that the water section of the Luanshui River Songfan County is hundreds of miles up and down, but is there a second person Yu Dabang?" The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and seemed quite content in his words.

"It's for Brother Yu's name." Chen Luo smiled when he heard this.

"Does the guest officer want to cross the river? But it is not easy to carry a horse. Our boat is afraid that it will not be able to stand the horse." The middle-aged man who claimed to be bold looked at the sinking, feeling a little embarrassed.

"If you don't cross the river, you just want to borrow a boat from your brother for use. The price is easy to discuss." Chen Luo blinked and said.

Yu Dabang heard Chen Luo's words and couldn't help but look Chen Luo up and down again, and was a little confused about what this young man who looked like a rich young man wanted to do?

Chen Luo just looked at Yu Dadan with a smile, waiting for him to speak.

"This guest official, you look like a foreigner, right? This yellow reed marsh is not a good place to play. You see that reed marsh has a good scenery. There are undercurrents and reefs under the river, and there is a large rocky beach in the middle. Even a veteran who is carrying a boat, you will bump into it if you accidentally hit it. It is not a good idea to rent a boat by yourself." Yu Dadan frowned and advised.

"It's okay, I still know some water. I just want to go to the reed marsh and take a look, enjoy the scenery and come back." Chen Luo said.

"Your guest, you can enjoy the scenery. We can take you on a boat and collect money from crossing the river. It costs less than you rent a boat. There is no danger, don't you think?" Yu Dadan still felt it was inappropriate.

"Customer, don't listen to these stupid words..." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, an anxious woman's voice came from the hut before he could answer.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman wearing a brown coat and a cloth towel walked out of the hut with her big belly.

The woman's face turned dark and red, and she was obviously used to hard life because she was exposed to the wind and sun.

"Oh, there is such a handsome young man..." The woman exclaimed at the sight of the sinking.

Chen Luo smiled slightly, not taking it seriously.

"Why are you coming out? Don't be in the wind?" Seeing this, Yu Dadan quickly turned around and met with concern.

Seeing this, the woman gave him a fierce look, patted his hand that he had helped him over and said:

"You rural man, do you know what elegance is? This young master wants to go into the reed marsh and enjoy the scenery alone. Maybe a poetic character can write a poem that is well-known all over the world. What kind of fun are you, a rough man, joining in the fun next to you, isn't it annoying?"

Chen Luo of course knew that the woman wanted to earn the money for renting a boat, but she didn't point it out. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is joking. I just want to relax alone. How can I have any poetry..."

Hearing Chen Luo say this, his wife kept winking again, and Yu Dabang had to stay aside and stop talking.

"Haha, how long does it take for the young master to rent? Although our boat is not big, there are many business this day. You can't treat our family badly." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"I will rent it for three days. From now on, to this time in three days, I will give you ten taels of silver. How about it?" Chen Luo asked, touching his chin.

"How many……"

When the woman heard this, her face changed a little, but she really didn't expect that Chen Luo would be so generous.

"Ten taels of silver." Chen Luo repeated.

"No, no... too much." Yu Dadan waved his hands repeatedly.

"This... is really a bit too much. Even if we buy our boat, it's more than enough. Not to mention ten taels, one tael is not enough." Even though the woman was greedy for money, she felt that she shouldn't have collected so much.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Brother Yu and I have a good time talking. I think this ten taels of silver is a friend, so I'll rent this boat." Chen Luo couldn't resist.
