Chapter 704: Where There Are People

The two boatmen never thought that after hearing the story of Xiaoyu, this strange marquis was not only not half moved, but angry!

Not only did he knock the fish on the ground to death with a stick, but he also threw them several gold leaves with hatred! Let them go out to the water at once and catch a few more, and he will knock them to death and eat meat!"

The story of filial piety that has been circulating for an unknown period of time is naturally worthy of the boat family's touch, but this kind of touching immediately becomes worthless in front of gold!

So, after a short period of distraction, the two boatmen immediately collected the gold like crazy, and rushed to the river with a roar!

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Qiang frowned, looked at the dead fish on the ground and asked Xiao Han.

"Eat fish!" Xiao Han shook his head fiercely, wanting to get the legend about this fish out of his mind! As a person who walked out of the orphanage, he has an instinctive resistance to this spirit of foolishness!

(The legend of filial piety will make people a little uncomfortable to listen to, so Coke is not much, if you are interested, you can search it.) )

"Then eat fish!" Seeing Xiao Han's angry appearance, Zhang Qiang opened his mouth, and finally didn't ask again, just helped Xiao Han bring the fish with his head broken back to Xiaodong.

Catching fish, like fishing, is a big part of luck in addition to technique!

Especially on this kind of big river, maybe a net goes down, just in time for the fish to pass by, and naturally you can catch a lot of money!

But if you're unlucky and the fish swim somewhere else, no matter how good your net skills are, don't try to catch a single hair.

The boatman's luck was good just now, and it didn't take a few strokes to catch the huge black fish.

It's just that now I'm tempted by gold, and I try to catch fish, but I don't get anything.

One net is empty, two nets are a frog......

In this way, it was not until Xiao Han and the others began to eat by the river beach that the exhausted two boatmen returned to the shore.

At this time, what the two of them were carrying in their hands was just a pound or so of small trash fish.

Xiao Han sat on a big rock, holding the fattest string of fish in his hand, and when he saw the two of them cowering from a distance, he glanced at Xiao Dong.

Xiao Dong, who was busy eating, saw Xiao Han's eyes and immediately understood! Wiping his mouth, he stood up and shouted at the two boatmen: "Hey, you're tired, come and have a bowl of soup and rest!" ”

"Ah, no, no! We're not hungry! ”

How dare the two boatmen sit with Xiao Han and these people? So after hearing Xiaodong shouting for them to go over, he immediately shook his head! The range of movements is so large that people are worried about whether they will shake their heads off.

"I said I'd let you come here! So much nonsense from there! Seeing the two of them nailed in place, Xiaodong immediately raised his voice and scolded again!

He knew Xiao Han's thoughts, if they didn't come, who would Xiao Han ask questions? If he hadn't asked questions, he wouldn't have bothered to delay here, and would have run home to stay in the morning.

"This ...... Good ......"

The boatman was a little at a loss when he was scolded by Xiao Dong, and stayed for a while, then he leaned over cautiously, but when he saw Xiao Han turn his head to face them, the two of them immediately sent back the dead gold leaf they had held before.

If you haven't completed the explanation of others, it is better to be conscious than to wait for others to ask for it.

"Hehe, this is a reward for you, take it all! I've never seen a Hou Ye reward something and ask for it back. ”

Glancing at the two embarrassed boatmen, Xiao Han almost laughed out loud, waved his hand, and asked the two of them to take back the gold leaf.

"Thanks... Xie Houye. ”

The two boatmen looked at Xiao Han and Yan Yuese's appearance, and hesitated in their hearts, but in the end, the value of gold prevailed over them, and they quickly and carefully put away the gold leaves.

Now, they have also let it go, just their own things, what is worth a Hou Ye to plot? Even if it's their own lives, they won't lose anything by exchanging these few gold leaves!

"Sit, give them two bowls of fish soup, and two steamed buns!" Watching the boatman's movements with a smile, Xiao Han pointed to the vacant seat opposite him, and asked Xiaodong to serve soup to the two of them.

It should be the money just taken that gave the two of them courage! This time, they didn't shirk again, carefully thanked them, and took the fish soup, and drank it greedily in a small sip.

The two boatmen drank the soup very seriously, in fact, as the boatmen, they were no strangers to the fish soup at all, and even said that they did not drink less fish soup that was more delicious than this bowl of miscellaneous fish soup!

It's just that today's bowl of miscellaneous fish soup was given to them by a prince, and with so many spices in it, the original ordinary fish soup has become extraordinary.

Xiao Han has always been very picky about eating, especially when he has the conditions.

The grilled fish skewers were a little dry because they were not brushed with oil.

Because of the river water used in the fish soup, Xiao Han only drank half a bowl.

As for the black fish, he thought about it for a long time, but he changed his attention, and planned to take it home and make a black fish hot pot to share with Xue Pan.

Cooking such delicious food in the wild is a bit of a tyrannical thing.

After eating for a while, Xiao Han put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a sip of the water brought in the water bladder, and looked at the two boatmen opposite and asked with a smile: "How many years have you been fiddling with the boat?" ”

When the boatman heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the steamed buns in his throat, arched his hand and replied: "It's been more than ten years since I returned to Master Hou!" Ever since we had the river, we've started to get these two boats. ”

"More than ten years?" Xiao Han looked up at the dilapidated boat parked by the river, nodded and continued to ask, "It's really not short!" So what do you do on this river besides fishing and crossing people across the river? ”

"This ......"

Hearing this question, the two boatmen hesitated and looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Xiao Han also noticed the strangeness of the two boatmen, sat upright, and said to the two with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm just curious, just ask!" ”

One of the boatmen looked at Xiao Han, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't dare to hide it, my lord, in the past, we would also send passengers on long trips, and occasionally help transport goods." ”

"Oh? Neither of these takes a short time, just now you said that you still have land at home, so your land will be taken care of? Xiao Han didn't ask how the two of them could escape the inspection of the government, but just touched his chin and asked a question that seemed to be a good match.

Seeing that Xiao Han did not pursue the matter of their private boat, the boatman breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "At that time, the family only planted a little bit of land, because whether it was carrying passengers or delivering goods, the money they got was always a little more than farming, and it was a little faster!" ”

Xiao Han nodded, agreed with the two of them, and then asked, "Then why are you farming again now?" Isn't it profitable to do this? ”

"Making money, just... Hey......"

At this moment, the two boatmen sighed in unison, and their faces were disgraced.
