Chapter 29 There is "A Piao"

In ancient society, in addition to passenger ships, women were not allowed to board the ship, such as cargo ships, warships, dragon boats, etc., which is the so-called "whose females travel, the navigation is not good."

According to traditional concepts, women have too much yin energy and are prone to attract unclean things, which is very unlucky for them to travel with the boat.

Although this black-sailed ship itself is a passenger ship, it is theoretically OK to carry female passengers, sometimes some passengers who like to care about it cannot be avoided.

After all, there is not no other boat to choose from for such a large ferry.

"It's okay, the little kid is very cute." Su Yan boarded the boat indifferently.

This made the boatman smile happily, and wrinkles were piled on his face, "Okay! I'll be ready to drive the boat."

"If you sit in it, if the season is smooth, you can arrive in about three days, and fresh river food is available on the boat every day."

After all, it is rare for guests as generous as Su Yan. The money for chartering a boat is always three times. After asking the price just now, the customer gave it directly.

On weekdays, the boatman has to wait for half a day to attract seven or eight customers before he can drive the boat.

Sometimes if there are not enough people, four or five will be enough. If there are fewer people, it will not be able to open it. It is not worth it. It is better to wait for the next day.

The ship is not big, only about three meters long. The first half is open-air, with a mast in the middle, and a black tent in the second half is covered by a sun, which can be used for sun protection, rain and rest.

As the boatman rowed the boat, the hull swayed and sailed towards the lower reaches of the canal.

This river is called "Jiangnan Canal". It is named after its entire section south of the Yangtze River. Su Yan takes a boat here and has to travel to Shanyangdu and the Yongji Canal to reach the Yellow River.

After all, Hangzhou is far away from the Yellow River, how could it be possible to arrive in three days?

I don’t know if it’s Su Yan’s illusion, but he always feels that there are a lot of people around him today. Although Hangzhou City is indeed lively, he didn’t have this feeling yesterday.

As the ship starts, the feeling of more people is getting better.

At the beginning of the boat trip, Su Yan did not hide in the cabin to cool off, but sat at the bow of the boat, his body swayed gently with the waves, and the cool wind was blowing. Looking at the open river surface, he felt very comfortable.

This is one of the reasons why he wanted to rush on like a mortal. This experience is quite novel for Su Yan. He had never taken a boat twice in his previous life.

The boatman who rowed the boat was quite strange to see this situation. This young man looked like a scholar, but when he got on the boat, he was carrying a big wooden box. Maybe he was a piano player?

Sure enough, the interests and hobbies of these elegant people are different from those of them.

"Young Master, it's not your first time taking a boat trip. I don't think you're very dizzy."

"It's okay, I can adapt." Su Yan said as he looked at the rippling river surface with enthusiasm, "What kind of river food should we eat for lunch?"

It’s not a big mistake for Su Yan to think about eating. He didn’t have many hobbies in his previous life, and eating was one of them.

After traveling through this life, I spent seven years in Qingcheng Palace, and a bird faded out of my mouth. I was busy looking for food when I went down the mountain.

"There are river shrimps, river crabs, river fish. The bass is quite fat at this time. I'll see if I can catch some later."

Su Yan nodded repeatedly.

It was still early to see the scene and the boat had just left the ferry. Su Yan sat at the bow of the boat for half an hour, and then returned to the cabin after blowing enough wind.

The little girl stopped hiding now, but took the initiative to carry the large teapot that was missing and pour tea for Su Yan.

Su Yan sat on the bench that was nailed to death by the hull, took the teacup with a smile, looked at the girl and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl with her hair tied into two braids and her eyes shining brightly said crisply: "I don't have a name, just call her girl."

Su Yan was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, but said gently: "Is the girl usually bored on this boat? What are she playing?"

The girl thought about it before responding

Thanks to Su Yan's friendship, this little girl in a red jacket quickly talked to him.

The boatman was still more alert to the people here at first, but he didn't see anything happening, and his daughter giggled, so he gradually relaxed.

When the wind blew, the boatman no longer rowed the boat, but put down the sails. At this time, it was more labor-saving, just take the helm and control the direction.

In fact, the girl was also secretly paying attention to her father. Seeing that he didn't see him, she sat next to Su Yan and told him some little secrets.

"This red dress was given to me by a young lady." When the girl said it, her tone was quite flaunting.

"What kind of young lady is it?" Su Yan looked at the scenery outside the boat and asked casually.

"It's a young lady with an old beggar." She responded in a silence.

Wait, old beggar??

Su Yan suddenly focused his attention on the girl, "You said it was wrong? How old is that young lady?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. My sister is about the same age as me. She was wearing this outfit at that time." The girl's focus was on the clothes.

This made Su Yan's expression even more strange. A **-year-old girl took the old man away instead? Unless "Is that beggar unable to see the road?"

"Yes, how do you know?!" The girl showed a surprised look.

I met again. Could it be that I was cheating on someone in Lanfang County before?

After thinking about it, Su Yan continued to ask: "When did you meet them, why did the young lady give you clothes again?"

The girl pointed her chin with a look of memories and said, "Just a few days ago, they were coming to take a boat, but no one was willing to let a beggar get on the boat, and even my father refused."

"I was watching secretly on the boat, and my sister was watching me too."

"Not long after, the young lady left and came back. When she came back, the old beggar was gone."

"Then the young lady gave the money to my father and asked her if she could take a boat alone?"

"My father didn't agree, but she didn't know why she convinced him and successfully boarded our ship."

"As soon as my sister got on the boat, she came to talk to me, like you, brother."

"She told me many interesting stories, the old beggar showed off his magical powers, the old beggar killed bandits, the old beggar caught evil ghosts, and the old beggar."

When talking about this, the girl suddenly stopped.

Su Yan looked outside the ship strangely, but the boatman didn't turn around, so why didn't he talk about it suddenly? This is the key point.

Just as he wanted to ask questions, the girl stood up on the bench. She lay on Su Yan's shoulder and attached herself to his ear and secretly said, "Brother, I know you are a good person, I will tell you a secret~"

"My father warned me several times not to tell anyone about this. I said it only when you are kind to me."
