Chapter 2 Hit the rocks halfway
The sea breeze faded and the boat entered the shallow shore. The appearance of the Fishing Port Town was in front of me, with only more than ten houses coiled around the hills and beaches. Several fishermen were picking up shellfish by the beach, and several small boats were handcuffed by lock rings to the shore. It was not surprising to see a merchant ship passing by, but obviously they often encountered large ships.
"I think this fishing port town is still calm." Mr. Zhang put his hands on the side of the boat, looked at the fishing port town, and nodded.
A man who was not tall but had a stubborn face looked around and said relievedly: "It's good that he's lucky." His voice was not as rough as he was on his face, but rather the voice of a young man.
"Haha." On the other side, a young man in a white robe smiled at the man with a stubborn face and said, "I see your image, and the sound is a bit funny. If there are really officers and soldiers, the sound will be revealed when you hear it."
"If such a situation really happens, there is nothing we can do about it." The scumbag also smiled.
"Hahaha, these are all my skills and my mother." A girl's voice came from behind. The scumbag man looked back and saw that he was the daughter of Mr. Wang's mother in the boat. Her skin was even and she looked pretty. She was also Mr. Zhang's adopted daughter, named Wang Qingyi. Following Mr. Wang, they were all rescued by Mr. Zhang earlier on the road, after encountering pirates and defeating the pirates. Now he saved Wen Tianbao, which shows how Mr. Zhang is.
The whistling wind blows, without the fishy and sweet smell of the sea breeze, but the clear and spiritual wind in the mountains, making people feel refreshed.
The few people did not notice that a floating cloud floated gently on the top of the mountain not far away, and disappeared in a moment.
The boat quickly passed Yugang Town, heading to a river that flowed into the sea, and went upwards. The river was only three or two merchant ships wide, and it was downstream and the water flowed very fast.
Several sailors tried their best to pull the long oars and shaking the sails, and the merchant ship slowly moved upstream. Compared to the itinerary on the sea, it was much slower. After a whole day of travel, it was almost dusk and night was coming. But there was no place to dock.
"Where will you go to the next section? I remember that the Wei River enters the sea, there is a city called Huiyuan City." Mr. Zhang on the boat looked into the distance in a hurry, but saw the river surging, the green mountains on both sides were separated, and the fog was everywhere at the very end.
"Yes. There is probably one or two miles left." The helmsman also put down his rudder paddle, and used the kerosene lantern beside him to spread out a map and guide him.
"It seems that it's still foggy." A man with a stubborn face walked out of the cabin, looked away from the distance, frowned, and made a teenager's voice. It was Wen Tianbao.
Before he could wash off his makeup on his face, he just waited for this journey to Huiyuan City and merged into the crowd, so he didn't have to worry.
Now that the fog suddenly starts, it is not a good sign. Because this is not just a delay in the trip, if you stop on the shore to rest, you will inevitably encounter some wild beasts and robbers in the mountains, especially at night.
Everyone was not willing to dock here, but wanted to travel a little longer under the heavy fog. Moreover, they had everything on the boat and could travel day and night.
"Hu"~ The wind was cold at night, the trees on both sides rustled, and the restless nightingale in the air was hovering endlessly. The sailors on the boat stepped up their sails and rowed, breaking through the fog.
The speed of the night was obviously much faster than during the day. On the one hand, it was walking to a stable river section, and on the other hand, it was windy at night. At this moment, everyone else had fallen asleep, and only a group of sailors were busy at the bow of the boat. Wen Tianbao and Mr. Zhang and the other were standing next to the helmsman at the stern.
"Little Friend Wen." Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "I don't know what you have planned to go to Wei County by then."
"I'm going to find a distant relative to find a way out."
"Oh? Young Master Wen still has relatives in Wei County now? I wonder which official and Jia are you?"
"That's just a distant relative, and there are few contacts." Wen Tianbao shook his head and remained silent.
He did have distant relatives in Wei County, but his surname was not Wen, so he could only be regarded as a cousin. He was the husband's family of his cousin Wen Qingrou. Although the jade caused trouble, he could no longer go. He made some remarks to Mr. Zhang just to dispel some of his concerns and escaped from Wei County by the way.
This time, his real purpose was to go to Wei County to inquire about his cousin Wen Qingrou, and then to find out and join a sect: Huanxu Sect. In his early years, he read a book of the Immortal Taoist sect recorded by his father's sect, called "Immortal Sect Pulu".
This book records a total of five countries in the Central Plains, more than a dozen major immortal cultivation sects, as well as some of their cultivation status and sect characteristics.
The reason why Wen Tianbao wanted to join the Huanxu Sect was because this immortal cultivation sect was the only sect in Wei Kingdom that could compete with the Tianyi Sword Sect. His cousin Wen Qingrou was a disciple of the Tianyi Sword Sect. He thought he could prosper the family, but he did not want to cause disaster and cause a massacre of the family.
While the two were thinking and talking, they suddenly saw thick fog in front of them, and they were rushing towards them. Under the blockage of the smoke, they could hardly see things. The sailors on the entire boat were in a hurry to see this situation.
"Dang, dock!" Mr. Zhang shouted loudly, about to command.
Unexpectedly, the entire hull seemed to have hit something. With a dull and loud bang, a row of big waves slapped from the bow of the ship and rushed out of Lao Gao. At this moment, the hull shook violently, and everyone almost couldn't stand steadily. Fortunately, the sailors were experienced and adjusted their posture in a few seconds. Some grabbed the side of the ship, while others held the sails tightly.
Mr. Zhang almost staggered, then moved his body and his feet were firmly nailed to the boat board as if they were rooted. As for Wen Tianbao, he took advantage of this overturning force and turned around in the air and stood firmly.
"Good boy." Mr. Zhang couldn't help but praise Wen Tianbao's ability. In his opinion, Wen Tianbao's meridians were completely broken, and there were toxins in the qi sea in the Dantian, so he could not use internal strength. Now that he has revealed his skills, although he has no use of internal strength, he can control the body in a subtle way, and is extremely agile, which is really impressive.
"What's going on?" Mr. Zhang shouted at the sailor at the bow of the boat.
"The bow of the ship hit the reef." A sailor ran up to report.
"Damn it!" Mr. Zhang slapped his head and followed the sailor toward the bow of the boat. Wen Tianbao also followed one after another.
When I reached the bow of the boat, I saw a series of reefs standing in front of me, allowing the river to slap. One of the reefs was stuck into the hull. At the same time, several people walked out of the cabin, including the elegant young man Zhang Ziru and the young girl Wang Qingyi.
"What's wrong with my father? What did you hit me?" the young man hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Oh, some reef piles have to stop and dock now and have some rest. It is estimated that it will take tomorrow to repair it." Mr. Zhang sighed. He was very decisive and immediately asked several servants in the cabin: "Have you packed up all the goods? Have you blocked the loophole?"
"The loophole is temporarily blocked, but it has not been repaired. Now some people are moving away from the goods." The servant said respectfully.
"Okay. You guys tie the ropes right away and drag the boat ashore."
Under Mr. Zhang's command, the entire cargo ship was soon towed to the shore one side, and several ropes were tied to the trees beside it, which stabilized the cargo ship.
Wen Tianbao was also involved in the work. When he got off the boat, everyone had already made a fire not far from the shore, set up a tent, and there were a few jerky meat on the fire rack. When the young man and the girl saw Wen Tianbao get off the boat, they all reached out to greet him to eat.
