Chapter 81 The Seventeen Heroes of the Yellow River
"Girl..." Xie Changfeng called her from behind, and then remembered her name: "Miss Shang."
"Huh?" Shang Jiuge turned around and looked at Xie Changfeng: "Are you looking for me?"
Xie Changfeng nodded: "I have arranged a cabin for the girl. Will she go check it out later?"
"I won't go." Shang Jiuge shook his head and said.
Xie Changfeng was curious: "Why not go?"
"It's not interesting there, but it's interesting here." Shang Jiuge said quietly.
She closed her eyes and felt the river breeze and the slight rocking of the boat.
"Why is it boring? Why is it interesting?" Xie Changfeng continued to ask.
"It's not interesting there because everyone there is talking about me, and what they say is boring." Shang Jiuge looked at the river separated by boats in front of him.
The wind is blowing and the sail is hanging.
Xie Changfeng was silent.
Because everyone on the ship is now talking about this homeless woman who got on the ship. Of course, Xie Changfeng himself is also the target of discussion. After all, no matter how fishy or smelly he is, he puts such comments into his own room, and no one will be happy to hear it.
And Xie Changfeng actually arranged for an orphan girl of unknown origin who was wandering on the shore to board the boat.
Xie Changfeng thought that Shang Jiuge didn't know, but he didn't expect that Shang Jiuge knew everything.
"Those who are pure will themselves be pure." Xie Changfeng said.
"Thank you." Shang Jiuge said with a smile: "But taking a boat is really fun. If I have the chance, I will take more trips."
"Thank you for taking me on the boat."
Most of the girl's body was hanging on the river, and the sailboat was swaying left and right, and she might fall off the boat at any time.
The Yellow River is not an ordinary small river. If she falls, she may be swept away in an instant. No matter how good the water quality is, she will not be able to save her.
"Girl, be careful." Xie Changfeng reminded: "As the sage has said, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, and a rich man will not be able to sit down in the hall."
"It's quite interesting how you talk so much." Shang Jiuge said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't do anything dangerous."
"In other words, the things you think are dangerous are not dangerous to me."
The girl smiled very confidently, or calmly.
At this moment, the entire hull suddenly shook violently.
Xie Changfeng did not stand still on the splint, and instantly lost his balance and was about to fly out.
And at that critical moment, Shang Jiuge, who had been sitting on the edge of the boat with his hands propped up in an obviously more dangerous position, jumped down with his hands on his hands. Just as Xie Changfeng was about to fly on the sailboat that had tilted to nearly 70 or 80 degrees.
When she went out, she firmly held Xie Changfeng's hand.
Xie Changfeng looked up and saw Shang Jiuge standing on the almost straight deck, but it seemed to be more stable than on flat ground.
She stretched out her hand to hold herself, but she showed a clean and grand smile: "Look."
"I'm safer than you." As he said this, the ship continued to stagger. Shang Jiuge stood on the violently shaking ship, his feet as if taking root. At the same time, he held Xie Changfeng's hand tightly to prevent him from being in this extremely dangerous situation.
Fly out of the boat.
"and."
“The boat ride is fun.”
Xie Changfeng really admired that Shang Jiuge could still laugh at this time.
The most dangerous thing about the sailboat was the first two. Slowly the movement became quieter. Xie Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a thunderous cry from the entire ship.
"Seventeen Heroes of the Yellow River!"
"Come and ask the River God to bless this ship!"
Xie Changfeng's face turned pale.
However, Shang Jiuge looked at Xie Changfeng's reaction and asked, "Do you know the Seventeen Heroes of the Yellow River?"
Xie Changfeng nodded and whispered: "The Seventeen Heroes of the Yellow River are the most famous river pirates up and down the Yellow River. They will collect tolls from every boat traveling on the Yellow River. They are more generous than the government."
"The merchant ships coming and going can only pray for luck and not encounter them."
"But if we really encounter it, we will have no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster."
Shang Jiuge didn't seem to understand what Xie Changfeng said at all. She smiled and said, "So the government is so shameless?"
"It's not that the government has no face, it's that those people are monsters!" Xie Changfeng corrected Shang Jiuge: "They stepped on the river as if they were walking on flat ground. They could break steel knives with their bare hands. They only came to the Yellow River for half a year and they killed those thieves.
The gangs of thieves who had been robbed were wiped out, and the government came to encircle and suppress them. They sent three or five people to beat hundreds of people to death. Moreover, they were called the Seventeen Heroes of the Yellow River, so there were seventeen such monsters.
"
"But now that they have become the overlords on the Yellow River, they no longer have to do those embarrassing things. When traveling to and from merchants, as long as they pay the silver to cross the river and honor the river god, they can pass by safely.
They won’t make things difficult for you.”
Shang Jiuge looked at Xie Changfeng: "Then what if it's not called Yinzi?"
"If you don't pay, it will depend on whether you eat wontons or flat noodles." Xie Changfeng said with lingering fear.
"Then they are pretty nice people." Shang Jiuge said in surprise, "They even invited people to eat."
"This food is eaten by eating." Xie Changfeng corrected Shang Jiuge's understanding.
"Wonton means you put on your clothes and jump down by yourself, just like making wontons." Xie Changfeng looked at Shang Jiuge: "Daobanmian means using a knife to chop you off, just like cutting noodles with a knife."
Shang Jiuge thought for a while: "That wouldn't be fun at all. They are not good people."
"There are not so many good girls in this world." Xie Changfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "I will pay the boat fare later. Girl, please don't show off. As long as you pay the money, you can get there."
"When you go out, it is the best thing to be able to make money and eliminate disasters."
Saying this, Xie Changfeng took Shang Jiuge's hand: "Let's go to the front and have a look."
Shang Jiuge nodded: "Well, let's go to the front and have a look."
She scratched her head and followed Xie Changfeng through the cabin aisle and arrived at the bow deck.
I saw three tall figures wearing black cloaks standing on the bow deck. One of them had two boxes in front of him. One box contained scattered silver coins, and the other box contained a box of small signs made of wood.
It seems to have words like "River God" written on it, but it's hard to see clearly from a distance.
"Old rules." I heard the leader say coldly. At his feet, Shang Jiuge saw the boatman who had slapped him on the shore lying there, looking like he had passed out.
It seems that the big noise on the sailboat just now was caused by them.
"A sacred tablet used by the River God to pray for blessings. It sells for one tael of silver."
"If you buy the God Amulet, you will be blessed by the River God along the way, and you will have a safe journey."
He looked at the dark row of boat passengers standing on the opposite side of the deck: "Of course, if you don't buy the magic card, then something will happen on the Yellow River."
"So."
