Bai Zhuo vomited cleanly, and his expression recovered a bit, but the pale complexion won't recover for a while.
He shook his head, and waved his hand at Song Wuya again: "I won't take a boat again in the future."
In the past, the boats they took were just some small rivers without any wind and waves, but compared with the Yangtze River, it was much worse.
It was already morning, and although it didn't take much time, none of them wanted to take another step.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's find an inn to stay. Looking at the situation, we won't be able to leave today." Song Wuya said helplessly.
Seeing that Bai Zhuo was no longer vomiting, Song Wuya turned his head and looked at Situ Wen and Xiaohuan.
"How about you two? If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, just spit it out, and it won't hurt you if you spit it out."
Situ Wen and Xiaohuan shook their heads at the same time: "I can't, I can bear it."
Indeed, the two girls' family did such things in public, which really made them lose face.
Since they all said so, Song Wuya didn't force it, he looked forward, walked out a few steps, pulled someone on the pier and asked for the way.
"This old man, may I ask what is this place? Is there an inn nearby?"
The old man raised his head and looked at Song Wuya, he was very happy.
"You are really interesting, young master. I don't know where I will go by boat. This is Wanshou Town, not far ahead, and there is an inn when you enter the city."
After telling Song Wuya, the old man continued to walk forward, still shaking his head and laughing at Song Wuya.
They really didn't inquire about this in detail before they came, and now they are laughed at by the old man, and they really feel a little embarrassed.
"Wanshou Town, I don't know how far it is from Yangzhou." Originally, Song Wuya was planning to inquire again, but it can be seen that the old man left on his own, and he didn't have the nerve to chase after him to ask.
"Don't say that it's what I ate this morning, and last night's meal is considered a waste." Bai Zhuo said self-deprecatingly after wiping his mouth clean.
Hearing his words, Song Wuya smiled slightly: "Brother Bai, this is not a free meal, it's just digested in advance. It comes out of your mouth, and it will save you from going to the latrine in a few days."
"Tsk tsk! Brother Wu Ya, what you said is too disgusting, right? It makes me want to vomit again." Bai Zhuo frowned and complained to Song Wuya angrily.
Song Wuya laughed heartily, and walked forward regardless of what he said.
Soon, a few of them saw Wanshou Town and entered the town, and they immediately started looking for an inn.
"Hey! Isn't that the old beggar?" Bai Zhuo suddenly pointed to the front in surprise and said when he came to the inn.
I just vomited just now and didn't pay attention.Seeing this old beggar now, I was really surprised.
That's good, on the contrary, he crossed the Yangtze River with Song Wuya and the others, and came to this Longevity Town.
The old beggar was not far from the inn. He was curled up in a corner, no different from the Fengshun Inn at the wharf on the other side of the river.
"Brother Wu Ya, what do you say this old beggar came to Yangzhou for?" Bai Zhuo asked Song Wuya curiously.
It's hard to say about Song Wuya, he originally guessed that this old beggar might be waiting for someone at the Fengshun Inn at that wharf, but he also crossed the Yangtze River with him early this morning.Such a strange behavior is really incomprehensible.
"If I guessed right before, maybe this old beggar has waited for the person he wanted to wait for, and followed that person to this place." Song Wuya recalled his previous guess, and said something along the way.
"Then the person he was waiting for was on the same boat as us?" Bai Zhuo also followed Song Wuya's words in surprise.
Song Wuya didn't dare to confirm this point, but he thought it was very possible.
"Why did you meet this old beggar again? It's really bad luck. My son, I think we should change to another inn."
The two were thinking about it when they heard an annoyed complaint not far away.
A few people turned their heads and looked, wasn't the person who complained was the guard Zhong Da who had a contact with them yesterday evening?
Zhong Da yelled and changed direction, wanting to walk inside the town.
That young master hesitated to speak, obviously wanted to say something, but saw Zhong striding forward, didn't say anything when he reached his mouth, just followed.
Seeing this scene, Song Wuya shook his head slightly: "This son really has a good temper!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those people had already walked a certain distance.When they were about to enter the inn, they saw the old beggar who was curled up in the corner, suddenly got up, and went in the direction of the young master.
"Hey! Brother Wu Ya, look. This old beggar seems to have followed that son. Could it be that this is the person he was waiting for at the back door of the inn?" Bai Zhuo looked at the old beggar with surprise on his face, and turned his head to look Looking at Song Wuya, he asked a question.
Song Wuya really hadn't thought about this point.
"When we went downstairs yesterday, that young master had already entered the inn. But that old beggar was still waiting at the back door, logically speaking, it shouldn't be him, right?" Song Wuya originally noticed this young master, but he never thought about it. The old beggar is waiting for him.He was very surprised, paused and said: "Come on, let's go and have a look."
Following the old beggar, they came to another inn.
The old beggar curled up in the corner outside the inn, and seeing this scene, Song Wuya and the others entered the inn.
"Hey! Really."
As soon as they entered the inn, several people saw the young master and his two guards, followed the waiter to the second floor of the inn.
"There are quite a few of them, do you want to stay at the hotel?"
Seeing them coming in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted them with a smile and asked a question.
"Come to two guest rooms." Song Wuya watched the young master go up to the second floor, and then replied to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper happily sat down to record, asked Song Wuya and the others for a deposit, and waited for the waiter to come down to collect the people.
While waiting for this time, Song Wuya asked the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, the name of this town is very domineering! Do you know why?"
If you are chatting, you are just talking casually, and you are idle anyway.
"Hey! My son. To tell you the truth, don't think our town is not big. But it has a history. I don't know how many years ago, this place was just a small fishing village. One day, this fishing village A fisherman in the village was fishing in this river. He never thought that when the net went down, the boat almost capsized. Fortunately, there were people from the same village nearby, so he called his companions to help him pull the fishing net together. Come up. It took seven or eight young and strong men to pull up this heavy fishing net. The fisherman thought to himself, it’s not in vain today, and I don’t know how many big fish were caught with this net.”
"Just these few people watched the fishing net being pulled down. Suddenly, the clear sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the cold wind blew up on the river. They were wondering why the weather was so sudden. At such a strange time, I saw something in that fishing net. Guest officer, guess what was caught in that fishing net?"
At this point in the story, the shopkeeper actually turned his back on him, and threw the remark to Song Wuya.
Song Wuya was taken aback for a moment, but then he also guessed: "Isn't it possible to pick up the corpse?"
"Hey! I said you young man, why do you think of this scary thing? But there is no dead body in the net, but a green turtle! The green turtle is amazing. It is so big and scary. That millstone is even bigger than that. Not only that, but he can also spit out people's words, claiming that he is the East Sea Dragon Palace Turtle Chitose who came up here upstream and was accidentally caught in this fishing net."
"Tui Qiantui?" Bai Zhuo interrupted the shopkeeper with a laugh. "How can there be such a big turtle in this world! This rumor is unbelievable."
"My lord, you also know that this is a rumor, why are you so serious?" The shopkeeper said with an embarrassed smile and said helplessly.
This was originally a rumor, but when Song Wuya asked about it, he told it like this.Instead, Bai Zhuo took advantage of it and made a sarcasm.
Similarly, what the shopkeeper said made Bai Zhuo a little embarrassed.He smiled slightly and signaled the shopkeeper to continue without saying anything more.
