Chapter 204 Qingfeng Town Strange Journey
"Miss, where are we going now?" He asked with a white smile. She was wearing a blue coat, combing a man's hair style, and a little maid's face, which looked particularly funny.
"I don't know. I just want to leave, just leave." Ji Liunian's answer stunned for a moment.
"I thought you already had a plan in your heart, my God, I said I didn't know." I spit out my tongue in vain.
"Now it's too late to regret. The gate is not far from here. Just go back. I didn't force you here." Ji Liunian said with a smile.
"It's okay. There will always be good things going with you. Anyway, you won't care about my life or death. I'll go wherever you go." Wei Bai was afraid that Ji Liunian would drive her away.
The two of them soon came to the river. There were several boats by the river, and Ji Liunian walked over to ask for directions.
"This old man, where did your boat go?" Ji Liunian asked him with a smile. The old man narrowed his eyes and replied, "My boat won't open until tomorrow. Young man, if you want to leave, ask them how many people.
"Thank you very much, uncle." Ji Liunian saw a younger young man looking at her, and she walked over.
"Young man, where is your boat going?"
"I'm going to Qingfeng Town. This route is the longest. Are you going to Qingfeng Town?" The young man had a large number of Ji Liunian and Wei Bai, and felt that the two of them were a little too white.
"We... don't know where to go, just walk around. How long will it take in Qingfeng Town? Is it fun over there?
Ji Liunian's answer almost made the young man lose all his oars.
"I don't know where to go? What do you do?
Ji Liunian hesitated.
"My son is a scholar, and he has to travel thousands of miles to read poems and books, so we walk around. Tell me where Qingfeng Town is. Wei Bai's cleverness made Ji Liunian want to pick her up.
"So that's it. I said no wonder you are so tender and white, haha. Qingfeng Town is the longest route here, so it takes young people to travel by boat, and it takes two days and two nights to reach Qingfeng Town. There are not many people in this place, but the strange mountains and rivers are very good. Do you want to go and have a look?
Ji Liunian nodded quickly, and Wei Bai also nodded.
"Because of the long route, the toll is also expensive. For two people, if you are about to leave, it will cost 50 taels of silver. If they wait for someone, if there are guests, they can spread it equally.
At this time, the old man just spoke.
"San Guizi, you are too cruel. If you are a scholar, you will bully them. There is no such expensive boat fee." The old man can't see it.
Ji Liunian looked at his uncle gratefully, and the older people were more kind.
"What do you say? It's not your boat. I can pay as much as I want." The young man scolded his uncle fiercely.
"Okay, okay, fifty taels is fifty taels." Ji Liunian pulled Weibai on the boat. When sitting on the boat, he felt the gentle breeze and the fragrance of reed grass. Ji Liunian felt that he had been far away from the rotten life of the imperial city, the world of intrigue.
"This uncle is really cute, young man. I don't know if this young man will beat that uncle when he goes back." After saying that, he glanced at the young man outside the curtain.
"No, he won't mind if he makes this deal." I don't know why Ji Liunian doesn't feel annoyed, because these contradictions are so clear and transparent that people can see clearly at a glance, unlike the murder hidden in the palace, which makes people shudder.
Soon it got dark. The young man parked the boat on the side, lifted the curtain and said to the two of them, "Mr. I don't know if you have brought dry food. I have two roast chickens here. If you don't mind, I can sell one to you."
Ji Liunian thought he was giving her roast chicken, but he didn't expect that he was also talking about business.
"No, we have dry food." Ji Liunian wants to see if he will roast chicken in the end. She took out two fruits from the bag and two pancakes and handed them to Weibai.
"Well, give me a pancake, and I'll roast chicken for you." Halfway through the meal, the young man smelled the pancake and couldn't help talking to Ji Liunian.
"No, isn't this a disadvantage to you? This pancake is worthless. Your pancake is much more valuable.
"It's okay. Just share it with me. If you don't eat it today, it will taste good tomorrow. What's more, you have given enough money for the boat. I shouldn't ask you for the money to cook chicken. After saying that, the young man scratched his head with embarrassment.
Ji Liunian and Weibai both smiled and handed him a pancake. He repeatedly said that it was delicious, which was taken out of the imperial dining room. Of course, it was delicious.
Soon they arrived in Qingfeng Town because they had a good relationship with the young man. The young man volunteered to be a leader, took Ji Liunian and Wei Bai ashore, and then chose a good hotel to stay.
"It's also a fate for me to meet you. To tell you the truth, I grew up in Qingfeng Town. My grandfather and father are at the helm, so I also took over the ship. Although this Qingfeng Town has beautiful mountains and rivers, some places are strange. You'd better avoid it.
Ji Liunian invited the young man to dinner. After he was full of wine and food, the young man's words became more. These words made Ji Liunian and Weibai interested.
"What's strange about?"
"Did you find out that there was no woman here when you just landed? Even the old woman doesn't have it?"
Hearing the young man's words, Ji Liunian and Wei Bai realized this.
"It seems not. Although there are few girls in the capital who come out to hang out, there are many old women who come out to sell things. Go on." Wei Bai said eagerly.
"Because there is a rule here that women are not allowed to come out of their homes. If it is found, it will be killed and thrown to the river to feed the fish. When the young man said this, Ji Liunian and Wei Bai's back sweated coldly.
"Hurry up, what's the reason for this? Is there any custom here that is different from other places?"
"Smart, this is a rule set many years ago. Although it has been changed for many years, this rule has remained unchanged in Qingfeng Town. Because you are not women, I dare to bring you here. In the past, some guests insisted on coming, but later the woman died and the man was also beaten to death. The young man did not talk about the topic, and Ji Liunian and Wei Bai looked forward to him.
"Hurry up and tell me why." Ji Liunian reminded him.
"You can't say this. It's also confidential here. Don't say it. I am at the helm. It is my responsibility to inform the female guests that they can't come, but they can't tell the passengers the reason. I think you two are good-looking, so let me tell you this reason. There used to be a big family here, but later she became a senior official here and set such a rule, because his wife met a beautiful man in the market. She finally eloped with the beautiful man and was captured, and both of them died.
"So that's it, so women are not allowed to come out here, even old women. Is there a brothel here? Ji Liunian asked curiously.
The young man is obviously wrong.
"I knew you would ask, haha. There are no brothels here, so the men here are more well-behaved. Those irregular people will go out in my boat and come back after having enough fun. So this gentleman, you can't play here." The young man said with a smile.
Ji Liunian sneered.
"I don't have that hobby. I'm just asking. Is there anything else?"
"What I just said is the biggest point, and some small ones. For example, if you eat and stay here, you must cut your hair and leave it to the shopkeeper when you leave. As for the reason, I won't talk about it. You can do it, the length is fine, otherwise the shopkeeper will let the clerk beat you.
Ji Liunian and Weiyang both smiled. They thought together: If the monk came here, even if he had money, he could only sleep on the street.
"Is there anything else?"
"Since you are here to visit the mountains and play with water, you will definitely go to Qingfeng Mountain, which is full of gods. Snakes are the gods here, and we all worship snake immortals. So if you meet a snake on the mountain, you must worship three times, otherwise you will die in three days.
Ji Liunian and Wei Bai laughed.
"Don't laugh, it's true. I have a friend who has been playing since he was a child. Once he was drunk and did not worship the snake fairy, and died the next day.
