Chapter 249: There Are Scholars, A Shark Crosses the Sea
Twenty miles away from the Longjiang estuary, on the vast sea, a medium-sized fishing boat was busy.
"Hurry up and pack up and prepare to return. The storm is coming soon. Please be more agile with your hands and feet!"
The captain of the boat shouted in the wind.
More than a dozen boatmen each performed their duties and arranged everything in an nervous and orderly manner.
As the wind gets stronger and stronger, the sea surface fluctuates more and more. It is visible to the naked eye that black clouds and fog are moving towards this direction at an extremely fast speed.
The boss of the ship was also a little more anxious.
Suddenly I saw a young boatman standing there stupidly, and I couldn't help but kick him up: "What are you doing?"
The young boatman staggered, but did not turn his head. Instead, he pointed to the sea in the distance: "Head, look over there... over there..."
"What's that over there?" the ship's boss said angrily: "Didn't you see the storm is coming? Why don't you hurry up and get to work!"
"No, it's not..." the boatman stammered: "Look, look, it seems... it seems to be a person..."
Seeing his abnormal expression, the captain of the boat couldn't help but was startled. He helped the boatman and looked up. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth.
"God...he is really a human being!"
At this time, there were other people who noticed something was wrong, followed their gazes, and were stunned the next moment.
On the undulating sea, I saw an upright figure moving quickly this way with the waves.
Getting closer and closer, and soon the sight in front of them shocked all the crew members.
I saw a man standing on the back of a shark, holding two reins in one hand and waving in this direction with the other hand.
The shark held a stick in its mouth and emerged from the water from time to time. Its dorsal fin split the waves and moved quickly towards the fishing boat.
Soon, the man was less than a few dozen meters away.
He was a young man, although his clothes were ragged, but he had a bright smile on his face.
"Everyone, you are polite. I would like to borrow a boat to go ashore, young man. Is it possible?"
The captain of the ship was dumbfounded and nodded stupidly.
The young man smiled loudly: "Thank you very much."
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted the rope in his hand, and the shark jumped out of the water. It was nearly two feet long and was a huge monster.
The young man suddenly waved his hand and shook the stick out of the shark's mouth. The next moment, he put his toes on the shark's back, jumped in the air, and came to the boat. The shark fell into the water, circled, and gradually moved away.
The young man landed on the deck, with a warm smile, and slightly bowed his hands to everyone: "Gu Qingshan, please be polite."
…
This is what happened on the sea. The wind and rain came and went quickly. Before they had gone far, the clouds and rain stopped. The sea also returned to calm.
The boss of the ship and others were no longer anxious, the ship slowly returned to the voyage, and they gathered in the cabin to have a meal.
The young man also changed into clean clothes and was chatting and laughing with the boatmen.
This young man named Gu Qingshan said that he was a scholar and gained a lot of experience when he went to sea. However, he did not expect that he was shipwrecked when he came back and had to wander for more than ten days.
However, although it seems that his hair has not been combed for a long time, his whole person still has a natural clean and tidy look. He has white teeth, a kind smile, polite manners, and a gentle and elegant conversation with a strong bookish air, which is very pleasing.
happiness.
Ever since they learned that he was a shipwrecked man who only got here by accident with the shark, everyone sympathized with them and admired him very much. After all, not many people have such ability or courage. Of course, everyone is not stupid.
To be able to do such a thing, he is obviously a martial arts expert that is unimaginable to ordinary people. However, he does not have that condescending attitude. Instead, he is always polite and polite, making everyone feel very comfortable getting along with him.
"I have been at sea for more than a year, and I have just returned. Many things are indeed unclear. Fortunately, a few of them chatted with me, and I learned a lot of things. I am very grateful."
"Hey, sir, why are you so polite? We are just fishermen, and these things are nothing more than what we hear and see in daily life. Just treat it as gossip." The boss of the boat said while carrying a big gourd and filling him with wine.
The young man seemed to understand that the captain and others were straightforward men and were not too polite. Then he said with a curious expression: "The "Three Kingdoms" you just mentioned is very interesting. Who wrote it? I like it very much, so I can't tell you to go ashore.
I’ll pay you a visit later.”
The boss of the ship laughed and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to visit. "Three Kingdoms" has only been spread to our Southern Chu recently. It is said that it was written by a new prince from the Qin State when he was a waiter. When we have nothing to do, everyone
We all like to listen to what scholars say, it’s very interesting, so we can chat when we have nothing to do.”
"Yes, it is said that he has not been crowned king for half a year. He seems to be called... Xiaoyao King." A boatman thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, it's Xiaoyao Wang. But I haven't finished writing it yet. I've listened to it over and over again, and I'm getting anxious."
"What do you know?" said another boatman: "That was a book written by King Xiaoyao when he was a waiter. Now that he is a prince, how can he have such leisure time?"
"Prince? Waiter?" The young man seemed stunned.
"A waiter, why is he a prince?"
Mr. Chuanlao Daodao: "I heard that he is a new prince from Da Qin. We are just fishermen. I don't know the specific situation. If you are interested, you can just go ashore and find out. This King Xiaoyao is very famous.
Now. A few days ago..." He said with admiration: "He led an army of 30,000 to besiege Taihua, scolded Ling Yun, the best female swordswoman in the world, and even snatched away a saint. Tsk tsk, what a real man...
…”
"Huh?" The young man opened his mouth wide, as if he heard something incredible.
"The army surrounds Taihua? Are you so awesome?"
"No, it's said that King Xiaoyao is a fisherman like us, but he became the king of Qin at the age of sixteen. It's amazing, it's amazing. We fishermen are all so honored.
." A boatman said with great reverence.
"A fisherman? A young man?" The young man's eyes flashed with wonder, and he became more and more curious. However, these rough guys really didn't know anything. The young man only heard that King Xiaoyao was also called the Poet Immortal, and asked other questions.
Nothing came out. Naturally, these men couldn't recite those poems.
However, all this intrigued the young man. Then he heard the fishermen complaining about the recent war and other trivial matters before slowly walking out of the cabin.
The young man squinted his eyes and looked at the coastline not far away: Interesting, what happened in the year I left? The army besieged Taihua...the Four Kingdoms War...
Gee, interesting, interesting...
Especially this King Xiaoyao, who wrote the Three Kingdoms, canonized with poems, besieged Taihua, scolded his uncle, and snatched his sister, but he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old fishing boy. Where on earth did this... come from?
As the young man thought about it, his face gradually became strange, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.
...Uncle Lingyun, I didn’t expect that your old man would be defeated by a fisherman again...
After more than twenty miles, the ship quickly docked.
The young man just left his only sapphire hairpin as clothes and ferry money. He carried a bag of dried fish enthusiastically given by the fishermen and waved goodbye to the boat boss and others with a smile.
