This boatman has only been running boats on this road for three years, but he is no stranger to some folklore about making a living on the water. I just saw the movement of boats on the river churning up the water, which was very similar to the rumored drowning. Shui Gong, whose resentment is difficult to calm down.
After all, the boatman was quite skilled in martial arts. He quickly calmed down and walked around the mast to the cabin in a few steps.
Over there, Hu Yun had already finished a bowl of rice at a very fast speed. The fresh fish was steamed with sauce and was so delicious that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He only wished that the boatman hadn’t gone to relieve his big hand. When he met the boatman, he came back. He could only hide under the stool. There were still a few thin fish bones stuck between his teeth in his mouth, and he was taking them out with his claws.
Ji Yuan had already heard the movement in the water outside the boat and knew more clearly what was in the water. When he saw the man hurried back with an unsightly expression, he asked casually.
“What happened to the boatman?”
The man reached out to the table and picked up the wine flask containing Qian Richun. He shook it and felt that there was still some wine in it and said to Ji Yuan.
“Mr. Ji, and this young master, there may be some unclean things under the river, but don’t be afraid. We boat runners also have our own ways. We have the nerve to ask for another drink from sir.”
It is rumored that the better the drink, the better the effect, and this happens to be a thousand days of spring.
Yin Qing looked at Ji Yuan subconsciously, with a curious look on his face.
“What is it? Water ghost?”
“Shh! Mr. Yin, you don’t want your life. It’s taboo to say that…”
The faces of the boatmen and men changed. They all knew it was a water ghost, but who dared to call it that on the river? They all called it “water ghost” in awe, otherwise what would happen if the thing got angry and pestered you?
Although the man is a warrior, this is his first time encountering this kind of situation, and he is still a little frightened by the weird things.
Yin Qing did not panic at all. Mr. Ji was calmly beside him. He was very thoughtful. Although he had never seen Mr. Ji’s true abilities, he had seen Mr. Ji and the City God talking and laughing when he was a child. I saw an old man, a friend of Mr. Ji’s, open his mouth and swallow half a tree of dates.
Can a water ghost in an older generation’s story who just likes to drag people into the water and drown them to death influence Mr. Ji?
Of course, the reason why I say “water ghost” is because Yin Qing doesn’t know the name “water ghost”, otherwise he would at least respect the boatman’s feelings. But I didn’t expect that this man, who is somewhat good at martial arts, would be so timid. I met the boatman who was so concerned and apologized profusely.
It was impossible for the boatman to argue with Yin Qing, a boy who was not as young as a weak crown. He picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine. Tongji Yuan apologized and walked to the side of the boat.
With one left hand holding the mast and one right hand holding a wine glass, the boatman spoke in a low voice to the water.
“If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. A glass of thin wine will show your respect. Shui Gong Shui Gong, get out of here quickly!”
After saying this, the man poured the wine glass outward, and the drink was thrown at least three feet away. It was obviously a lucky move. The old saying in boat racing is that the farther the drink is thrown, the better. , so Shui Gong ran away to drink.
Ji Yuan has also heard rumors about this, mainly from the boatman father and son back then, but he was thinking about it in a rather evil way.
‘It’s a pity, boatman, that you wouldn’t have thought that the one below is a big herring that’s greedy for drinking. The better the wine you give him, the better it is, and it might still hang around! ’
However, after the man poured the wine, he could vaguely hear the sound of water ripples in the distance, but it was hard to see clearly due to the dark sky, so he felt somewhat reassured.
‘It really works! ’
After calming down again, the boatman gave Ji Yuan an instruction.
“Mr. Ji, it’s best to move your stove to the cabin. The bow is a little narrower. Rest peacefully tonight. I’ll see that the sky is clear at night. Rumor has it that the water is only pouring It’s possible to go ashore when it rains heavily, and you’ll be fine if you take a good rest on the boat.”
“Okay, thank you boatman for reminding me.”
Seeing that the man seemed to be going back to the back cabin to rest, Ji Yuan quickly called him back.
“By the way, boatman, would you like some of the fish soup I had? With your physique, you should be fine if you drink less than half a bowl.”
This made the boatman a little puzzled. With his own constitution, he should be fine if he drank only half a bowl. Is this fish soup still poisonous, or is it too tonic like Sanwang Ginseng?
I was about to refuse, but suddenly I thought of the fragrance I just smelled, and my words changed when I heard them.
“Well, you might as well drink some!”
Ji Yuan nodded with a smile, took a few clean small pottery bowls and spoons from the cabin, and walked to the bow. The moment he opened the lid of the casserole, the rich aroma wafted out again.
‘Well, it really melted into the soup. ’
This casserole is usually used to stew fish soup and rice porridge. The fish soup made by two silver orifices is about half of the pot, which is not a small amount.
Ji Yuan used a ladle to serve less than half a bowl of fish soup to the boatman, and then handed it back to him.
“Here, boatman, actually that fish is not an ordinary fish, but a kind of medicinal fish. It has grown up taking expensive medicines for many years. It is a great tonic. When stewed until the meat is so delicate that it melts into the water, the medicinal power is It’s all in it. Drinking it is very good for your body, but you shouldn’t drink too much. You are a warrior, so it’s okay to drink more. But the ingredients of this soup are really precious, and I can only give you a taste.”
Hearing Ji Yuan’s explanation, the boatman somewhat understood, as if it was indeed the case.
“Thank you, thank you.”
The boatman took the bowl, smelled the aroma of the fish soup, stretched out his tongue and licked a trace of the soup stains on the edge of the bowl and tasted it in his mouth. A mellow aroma like wine reverberated, but he seemed to be Testing the taste is actually identifying the poison. After all, he is not just a boatman and fisherman, so he must be on guard against others.
This feels okay, so the man drinks it all in one gulp.
“Delicious! Thank you Ji Xian…”
Halfway through saying this, the mellow fragrance lingered in my mouth, and there seemed to be clear water in my belly to moisturize my five internal organs. At the same time, another energy rose in my body. I really looked a little drunk as if I had drunk wine, but my body instinctively knew this. It’s not that you’re poisoned, but it’s of great benefit.
Seeing that he was shaking a little, Ji Yuan quickly took the bowl in his hand to avoid dropping it.
“Shipman, go back to the cabin quickly and take a nap, or you can do exercises and meditate in the cabin. Don’t fall into the water while standing here!”
Ji Yuan’s words reminded the boatman. He said “Okay” and returned to the back cabin in a slightly “drunk” state, and closed the hatch.
Given the current state of the boatman, as long as he falls asleep or meditates, he will seem a little confused about external affairs before dawn, so it is better to plan for fate early.
“Mr. Ji, what happened to him?”
Faced with Yin Qing’s curious question, Ji Yuan looked at Hu Yun, who was already standing at the table over there with the aura of a “tiger descending the mountain”, eating delicious food, and smiled.
“It’s so filling. Okay, okay, just the four of us can drink this fish soup!”
“Okay, this soup smells so good. I can’t help it. Uh…Mr. Ji, how many can you say?”
Yin Qing looked at Ji Yuan and Hu Yun and instinctively felt that this boatman was obviously not the fourth one mentioned by Mr. Ji.
Ji Yuan didn’t say much, sat on the bow of the boat, filled a bowl of fish soup, and waved to Yin Qing.
“Come, try the fish soup made by Mr. Ji.”
Yin Qing walked over and picked up the bowl, smiling.
“Mr. Ji, didn’t you tell the boatman that he could only drink half a bowl? How can I drink so much?”
“Hahaha, you and he are different, it’s okay.”
Yin Qing didn’t refuse. Mr. Ji wouldn’t harm him anyway. He chuckled and took a small sip. Suddenly, the delicious and mellow taste filled his mouthpiece.
“It tastes delicious. Mr. Ji is such a good cook, even better than my mother!”
Hu Yun couldn’t help it anymore and jumped out of the cabin quickly. The unfinished fish and meat dishes over there were obviously not as attractive as the fish soup.
“Whoosh… whoosh…”
There was constant sound of water near the bow of the ship, which startled Yin Qing and Hu Yun. The latter suddenly jumped behind Yin Qing, which even shocked the former as he felt the familiar flesh-padded claws. And with a slight trembling feeling, I realized it was Hu Yun.
“I said you have some potential, but you are also a vixen after all. I’m afraid you will be afraid too?”
Hu Yun was not to be outdone.
“How can you be better than me? I almost spilled the fish soup! Mr. Ji, there is a monster in the water, collect it quickly!”
In the first half of the sentence, he quarreled with Yin Qing, but in the second half, Hu Yun called for reinforcements.
“Hey… what kind of monster is Shui Gong? What’s in the water is a big herring with enlightened intelligence. When it comes to Taoism, you, Master Hu Yun, the Fox Fairy, are much better than it!”
Master Hu Yun, the Fox Fairy, was a self-title often mentioned by Hu Yun and Yin Qing when they quarreled. Of course, Ji Yuan had heard it before, but now when he heard Mr. Ji ridicule him, Hu Yun was not ashamed. Arrogant behind Yin Qing’s back.
Ji Yuan then ignored the living treasure for the time being, filled a bowl of fish soup again, stood on the bow of the boat, and cupped his hands towards the river.
“I haven’t seen you for many years, but you, the big herring, are still active in this section of the river. Have you continued to do good deeds?”
The herring in the water seems to still remember Ji Yuan, and does not stir around in the water. It just floats to the surface, blowing bubbles and looking at Ji Yuan.
“Wow… what a big fish…” “Yeah…”
A person and a fox on the side looked blankly at the water, but they didn’t feel afraid at all.
I saw that this big herring was as long as a person, its body was thicker than the waist of an ordinary strong man, and its scales glowed with a faint green light under the moonlight and stars. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoｓhuyuan． com
“Boom…Boom…Boom…”
Blisters spit out from the mouth of the big herring one by one, as if they were drooling while looking at the fish soup.
Ji Yuanfa opened his eyes wider and took a closer look at the big herring. His body was still the same as before, without any aggressiveness. It had more spirituality, and there was a faint light of wish. It’s far from the light of Shinto, but it can help stabilize his spirituality to a certain extent. I think that family has fulfilled their promise.
“Please also try Ji’s Yinqiaozi soup.”
While speaking, Ji Yuan stretched the bowl out of the boat and tipped it downwards. Suddenly, the big herring in the water sucked in the water from the river with big mouthfuls, sucking all the fish soup that had just been poured into its belly.
This water essence is naturally a real tonic for aquariums, and the silver orifice fish soup is so delicious that the big herring is so excited that its front pair of fins flap rapidly in the water.
