The boat boss rolled his eyes, smiled and took the thousand yuan from Xiaoxuan's hand.
At this time, he turned his head to the side and suddenly said:
"Shipowner, the reason why we chartered your boat is not to make it too public. To be honest, I came back this time to find the approximate location of the original ancestral house and ancestral grave so that I can burn incense sticks."
The boss of the boat was stunned, looked at his head and said, "Did you immigrate back then?"
Nod your head and say yes.
"But I can't tell you guys have an accent."
The leader said: "How can young people like them still have accents? As for me, I have immigrated for more than fifty years, so my accent has naturally faded away."
"Oh, it's like this... I don't miss this one."
My face changed slightly.
The boat owner spoke an authentic Chun'an dialect, which is similar to a combination of Tunxi dialect and Shexian dialect. I couldn't understand it.
The situation is not good.
If we even say that we don’t understand, then the other party will most likely know that we are lying.
Unexpectedly, he turned his head and said calmly after hearing this: "I am a Shanyidisi, a villain and Qiuqiu Yiniangkesi."
After hearing this, the captain was a little stunned, and immediately threw his head in his hands, smiled and said in Mandarin: "I understand, you are welcome to return home."
As soon as the people left, Douyazai couldn't wait to say: "Botou, what kind of bird language did you two just say? You can't understand a word."
I said, "Yazi, this is really bird language. Chun'an dialect was nicknamed bird language in the past. It is very complicated and difficult to understand. I didn't expect that Boss can still speak such a dialect."
I use Chinese characters to describe the Chun'an dialect. If I use Mandarin to read and understand it, it will be impossible to understand.
In the past, when we talked about this place, every village spoke different words, every word had different pronunciation, the same words had different pronunciations, and the same words had different pronunciations.
There are at least more than a hundred dialects in Chun'an. In the past, Weiping people could not even understand the Qingxi people.
I think no one in China can fully understand the Chun'an dialect, not even the so-called senior language experts.
Tou Tou said that he deliberately learned some dialects just to deal with emergencies like this.
Just now the boss of the ship said that sentence, "Oh, that's right, I really didn't realize that you emigrated."
The head answered him and said: "I am a Shanyidisi, a villain and a Qiuqiu Yiniangkesi."
It means that I am a businessman and I left my grandparents when I was very young. In the local dialect, Qiuqiu is grandpa and Yiniang is grandma.
This completely dispelled the boat owner's doubts, because every year many people from Fujian and Anhui come to Qiandao Lake to "find graves and pay homage".
The result? Not to mention looking for the ancestral graves, I couldn't even find the approximate location of the village in my memory. It was all submerged under the water.
Most people just burn some paper money on the boat or pour some wine into the lake to worship.
So every year when you travel to Qiandao Lake around Qingming Festival, you will always see people burning paper money by the lake. Most of those old people have indifferent faces, melancholy, and sigh from time to time.
This sigh is a sigh of homesickness.
A large hydropower station, 3,000 villages, hundreds of thousands of large-scale immigrants, and the burial of two large thousand-year-old cities have turned this imperial examination hometown that has produced dozens of top scholars and Jinshi from ancient times into a vast ocean in an instant. Is this really making money?
I don't know whether it's business or loss-making business.
In the evening, the lights on the boat were lit. Under Douyazai's precise guidance, we arrived near Xiaomeifeng Island. Before we got close, I saw that the island was filled with fog from a distance.
The captain took a look with a telescope, raised his head and said, "Old sir, is this area the area around the old Langchuan Ancient Village? It looks similar."
He raised his head with calm eyes and said nothing.
I asked you how you could tell? It's all water.
He immediately said: "Based on my sense of direction, no one has set foot in this place for many years, and boaters don't leave here. I think the island is filled with fog, and there may be danger. You have to be careful, or else
Will you all go there tomorrow morning?"
I politely declined the other party's kindness and said that we were pressed for time and did not dare to delay.
He nodded, pointed forward and said, "Then I'll order the ship to get as close as possible, and you'll come back as soon as possible after you finish your work."
"I don't have to! Mineko! Take the lead! I'll take the first step!"
After saying this, Dou Sprout threw me his coat, carried his bag and jumped into the lake with a thud!
The boat owner was shocked and hurriedly shined his flashlight on the lake! At the same time, he shouted anxiously: "What are you doing, young man! Come back quickly! It's dangerous! The water in this area is very deep!"
Xiaoxuan immediately said: "Don't worry about him, his brain is not normal. Please move the boat closer."
The boat slowly docked and we disembarked one by one with our bags on our backs. The boat owner looked at the time on his phone and said loudly: "It's windy and foggy! There's no signal here! Pay attention to the time! If you get lost, go to higher ground and head southwest.
Look in the direction! I will ask someone to turn on the ship's lights to the brightest!"
"Got it!" I turned around and said loudly.
"Yunfeng, what if this person sails away later? After all, we have already given the money." Xiaoxuan asked in a low voice while walking side by side with me.
"No, unless he doesn't want to eat this bowl of rice locally, there's no need to run away. Be careful. This is a very foggy place. It was also this foggy last time you came here?"
"No, it was normal last time we came."
I turned the flashlight to its brightest setting and held Xiaoxuan's hand, and she held mine tightly.
"Boss, where did the bean sprouts go?"
"Ya Zai! Ya Zai!"
I raised my flashlight and shouted.
No one answered.
Xiaoxuan immediately said: "It should be in that direction! Let's go find him quickly!"
But before he had even taken two steps, he suddenly heard Dou Sprouts shouting from behind him, and he saw the flashlight running towards him.
"Ah sneeze."
"Damn it, I'm freezing to death. This water is colder than I thought."
Dou Sprout, shirtless with clothes on his shoulders, sneezed and trembled.
Xiaoxuan shone a flashlight on his face and said, "Are you mentally ill? You jumped off the boat before it even docked. Doesn't it look like you're very capable? You're not afraid of drowning either!"
I threw my coat directly to him.
Dou Sprout put it on quickly, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile: "I haven't been in the water for several days, and my hands are suddenly itchy! Don't worry, Zhao Xuanxuan, I can swim back and forth in the Pacific Ocean, this little Qiandao Lake can't do that
Your brother and I, my old uncle said! Even if the fish drowns, I can't drown!"
Xiaoxuan curled her lips: "You can't drown even if a fish drowns. Could it be that what you have on your body is gills instead of lungs? Yunfeng can blow well, but you can blow better than him. You two are so good at blowing, why don't you give it a try?
Can you blow away the heavy fog here?"
"When did I brag? I never brag. Don't take me with you." I said.
Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes: "One pound of duck, half a pound of mouth, and I haven't blown it yet."
"You're talking!"
I slapped Xiaoxuan hard on her butt | buttocks.
She immediately wanted to slap my butt to get it back, but I dodged it instantly.
This scene happened to be seen by Tou Tou, who scolded: "Yunfeng, Xiaoxuan, what are you doing? There is no formality, please be serious, we are here to do business."
"That's it! I'm not keeping things straight day by day. I wonder what we're here to do! Ah?!" Dou Sprout continued.
"It's the same as a bad pen."
"Boss! Zhao Xuanxuan is scolding you!"
"I'm scolding you for not being okay!"
"Stop! You two, stop arguing!"
"Turn your head...did you hear it? What is this sound?? It seems a bit strange." I looked at the thick fog in front of me and wondered.
He turned his head sideways and listened for a few seconds, then frowned.
