In the river has the fog, a ten meter/rice boat covered with black matting travel delimit in the wharf direction in the smoke wave surface of the river. 江上有雾,一艘十来米长的乌篷船行驶在烟波江面朝着码头方向划来。 „Boatmen, here”, stands at the back of Yun Jing of book box in the wharf beckons by far. “船家,这边”,背着书箱的云景站在码头远远招手。 Before long, the water surface ripples, the boat covered with black matting arrives at the wharf, what rowing a boat is about a 60 gray-haired uncle, he puts down the oar, arrives at the bow fast, pulls the string to step the wharf to tie up the ship. 不一会儿,水面荡漾,乌篷船来到码头,划船的是一个六十左右头发花白的老伯,他放下船桨,快速来到船头,牵着绳子踏上码头将船拴好。 Didn't this plan to walk? 这是不打算走了？ Uncle's action puts in order Yun Jing to stare. 老伯的举动整得云景一愣。 After the uncle the ship ties up, this looked that said to Yun Jing with a laugh: „Does young master want to travel by boat?” 那老伯将船拴好后,这才看向云景笑呵呵道:“公子可是要坐船？” „Yes, but didn't the elderly man you plan to walk?” The Yun Jing nod said. “是的,不过老人家你这是不打算走了？”云景点头道。 The uncle explained: „Young master misunderstood, non- does not walk, but must wait here, perhaps other passengers, if half double-hour can not the passenger, I go to next wharf” 老伯解释道:“公子误会了,非是不走,而是要在这里等一下,兴许还有其他乘客,若是半个时辰等不得乘客,我会去下一个码头” Originally is such matter , like the public transportation that the depending stand stops. 原来是这么回事儿,就跟靠站停的公交车一样呗。 Then the uncle also said: „Young master must go by boat, not slightly how, if first goes to the ship to rest sits? After half double-hour, walks, but also looks at the young master to excuse me” 接着那老伯又道:“公子既要乘船,不若先去船上歇息稍坐如何？半个时辰后就走,还望公子见谅” Yun Jing has not moved, asked: „Elderly man, rides your ship, the charge how much?” 云景没动,问:“老人家,坐你这船,收费几何？” „Where this must see the young master to go”, the old person said with a smile, speech time, the leisure putting out smoke pot prepared one. “这要看公子去什么地方了”,老人笑道,说话的时候,慢悠悠的拿出烟锅准备来一口。 „I must go north, which uncle ship can to, approach shore when the time comes, I find the way to continue to go north again, then does not know how this shipping charge does gather?” Yun Jing asked. “我要北上,老伯这船能到哪儿就到哪儿,到时候靠岸,我再想办法继续北上,如此一来不知这船资如何收取？”云景问道。 Movement of reorganization smoke pot, the uncle said: „Young master must go north, my ship may be unable to get away far, dozens li (0.5 km) range more than ten wharves in this river manned crosses the guest, I can carry you to the farthest place also inside and outside the wharf on 50, how receives your 50 copper coins?” 整理烟锅的动作一顿,老伯道:“公子要北上啊,我这船可走不了多远,就在这江上几十里范围十多个码头载人渡客而已,我能载你到最远的地方也就五十里外的码头,收你五十个铜板如何？” Is equivalent to one li (0.5 km) distance copper coin, what others make is the laborious money, is completely reasonable, therefore the Yun Jing nod said: „Ok, that troubled the uncle” 相当于一里路程一个铜板,人家挣的是辛苦钱,完全合理,于是云景点头道:“行,那就麻烦老伯了” The uncle said with a smile: „Isn't troublesome, the young master can ride my ship is my being honored, moreover I also receive money, the young master first goes to the ship to do to rest slightly, half double-hour walks, the knowledge sea of embarking is slower, the ship a little shakes” 老伯笑道:“不麻烦不麻烦,公子能坐我的船是我的荣幸,况且我还收钱的,公子先去船上稍作歇息吧,半个时辰就走,上船的识海慢些,船有点晃” Yun Jing nods, takes a step to embark, puts down the book box to travel by boat, idles bored, takes out book slowly product read simply. 云景点头,迈步上船,放下书箱坐船上,闲得无聊,干脆取出一本书慢慢品读。 The uncle looked at the background of wharf front, smoked two tobacco smoked dry, thought of anything, pats the forehead to look that said to Yun Jing: „Looks at my memory, that what, Young master, you said that must go to the north, does not know that can be far toward north?” 老伯看了码头前方的来路,抽了两口旱烟,想到了什么,一拍脑门看向云景道:“看我这记性,那什么,公子,你说要去北方,不知要往北多远？” „By north, why the uncle asked as far as possible?” The Yun Jing line of sight puts aside to look that from the book asked to him. “尽量靠北,老伯为什么这么问？”云景视线从书上移开看向他问。 The elderly man said with a smile: „By north, suffices to be far as far as possible, this Lijiang River most depended on the northern position to inside and outside several thousand, then turned back stretches across the thousand li (500 km) thorough serious famine forest, reason that asked, was because I sought a livelihood in the river year to year, knows that north will have a place to have a large freighter to go every several days, today has, if north the young master went, can go while that large freighter, saved trouble that transferred on the way” 老人家笑道:“尽量靠北啊,够远的,这漓江最靠北的位置都得几千里外了,然后折返横跨千里深入大荒林,之所以这么问,是因为我常年在江上讨生活,知道有一个地方每隔几天都会有一条大型货船去北方,今天恰好就有,如果公子去北方的话,可以乘那大型货船前去,也省了途中换乘的麻烦” „Takes seriously?” Yun Jing eye one bright. “当真？”云景眼睛一亮。 The uncle said with a laugh: „Does not dare makes fun of this matter and young master” 老伯笑呵呵道:“不敢拿这种事情和公子开玩笑” Does the place that „that large freighter sets sail leave here far? Now goes with enough time?” Yun Jing hurries to ask. “那大型货船起航的地方离这里有多远？现在去来得及吗？”云景赶紧问。 Uncle confident say/way: „It is not far, a wharf inside and outside 30, the young master does not need to worry, that steamship usually is noon sets sail, time completely with enough time” 老伯不疾不徐道:“不远,就在三十里外的一个码头,公子也不用着急,那大船通常都是中午起航,时间完全来得及” At noon sets sail, this is feared that sooner or later can have the matter? 中午起航,这是怕早晚会出事儿吗？ The heart whispered, felt relieved Yun Jing said: „That under troubled the uncle to deliver me to go there to be good” 心头嘀咕,放下心来的云景道:“那等下就麻烦老伯送我去那里好了” „It is not troublesome, on the way, since the young master decided that must transfer the steamship, 30 li (0.5 km) waterway, I only received your 30 copper coins to be good, I sought a livelihood for dozens years in this river, was very ripe with the people of these freighters, when the time comes I can them say directly made the young master embark, trouble that avoid the young master and they negotiated”, saying of uncle very warmheartedness. “不麻烦,顺道而已,既然公子决定要换乘大船,三十里水路,我就只收你三十个铜板好了,我在这江上讨生活几十年,和那些货船的人都很熟,到时候我可以直接给他们说一声让公子上船,省得公子和他们交涉的麻烦”,老伯很热心肠的说道。 Yun Jing said heartfeltly: „Really too thanked” 云景由衷道:“实在是太感谢了” „, These years I have you're welcome run into many young master’s such guest, be used to it, moreover frankly, the young master rides their steamships, they must collect fees, moreover they after all are the freighters, a many pulls person is an additional income, my candidate goes, they to my some sales commission, hehe”, uncle somewhat embarrassed beckoning with the hand will say. “不用谢,这些年来我也遇到过很多公子这样的客人,习惯了,而且实不相瞒,公子去坐他们的大船,他们也是要收费的,而且他们毕竟是货船,多拉一个人就是一份额外收入,我推荐人去,他们会给我一些回扣,呵呵”,老伯有些不好意思的摆摆手道。 The volume, this was equivalent to the medium. 额,这相当于中介了吧。 Then Yun Jing asked most issue of concern, said: „Right elderly man, since you are ripe with the people of these freighters, you know how much money to most north that can arrive at they do carry a guest to need to collect?” 然后云景问了最关心的问题,道:“对了老人家,既然你和那些货船的人熟,那你知道他们载一个客人去往能到达的最北方需要收多少钱吗？” He feared that oneself money is insufficient, was when the time comes awkward. 他怕自己的钱不够,到时候就尴尬了。 „This I know actually, is those words, they were the freighter, the condition on ship say after all not good, three different shipping spaces were available, divided the high, middle, and low, the superior shipping space environment good field of vision to be good, was the suite, collected fees five hundred taels money each, the quantity were not many, the middle-grade shipping space was the single room, the environment is also good, everyone collected fees two hundred taels, the quantity were not many, was the inferior shipping space, the room was narrow and small, and a room rode several people simultaneously, collected fees 52 each people . Moreover, these charges merely were only the shipping charges, wanted to eat and drink on the ship. Moreover spends, the young master do not find it expensive/noble, after all several thousand li (0.5 km), traveling schedule two months, the charge is inexpensive, if rides these special passenger steamers, will be quickly quicker, but the price will be more expensive” uncle's detailed introduced. “这个我倒是知道,还是那句话,他们毕竟是货船,船上的条件说不上好,有三种不同的仓位可供选择,分上中下,上等仓位环境好视野好,还是套间,收费五百两银子每位,数量不多,中等仓位是单间,环境也不错,每人收费二百两,数量也不多,然后就是下等仓位了,房间狭小,且一个房间得同时乘坐几人,收费五十两每个人,而且啊,这些收费仅仅只是船资而已,想要在船上吃喝还得另外花钱,公子不要觉得贵,毕竟几千里呢,行程两个多月,收费已经算是低廉了,若是去坐那些专门的客船,快是会快很多,但价格更贵”老伯详细的介绍道。 Can hear, he is very familiar with these freighters, after all is in the river seeks a livelihood. 听得出来,他对那些货船是真的很熟悉,毕竟都是江上讨生活的。 Listened to him saying that Yun Jing calculated an own wealth, can embark, but can only sit down and other warehouses, moreover was enough, was actually indifferent as for the environment, he had not overflowed the hard times, selected the excrement to experience, without so many art, without that fine expensive/noble. 听他这么说,云景盘算了一下自己的钱财,能上船,但只能坐下等仓,而且足够了,至于环境倒是无所谓,他又不是没过过苦日子,挑粪都经历过,没那么多讲究,也没那么精贵。 Un, mainly does not have money to sit the middle and upper level warehouse...... 嗯,主要是没钱坐中上等仓…… Under the heart is slightly peaceful, the Yun Jing nod said: „That troubles uncle when the time comes, making them help me arrange an inferior warehouse” 心下稍安,云景点头道:“那到时候麻烦老伯一下,让他们帮我安排一间下等仓” „Young master was too polite, is not troublesome, after all I also obtained some advantage”, the uncle beckons with the hand to say again. “公子太客气了,不麻烦的,毕竟我从中也得到了一些好处”,老伯再度摆摆手道。 This matter settled, then the standby period, Yun Jing and he chatted slightly. 这个事情就这么说定了,接下来等待时间,云景和他稍微闲聊。 The uncle had not inquired that Yun Jing goes to the north to make anything, was mainly said in river that some he knew situation. 老伯也没打听云景去北方做什么,主要是说一些他知道的江上情况。 According to him, this Lijiang River many places are unsafe, some place water current are rapid, some places underwater have the hidden rock and powerful underwater lifeform, but some sections have the water bandit...... 据他说,这条漓江很多地方都不安全,有的地方水流湍急险要,有的地方水下有暗礁以及强大的水下生物,而有的江段则有水匪…… These are only his hearsay, does not know the genuine and fake, after all he seeks a livelihood in this dozens li (0.5 km) surface of the river, relative said, this surface of the river is peaceful, other not peaceful place he does not dare to go. 这些都只是他道听途说而已,不知道真假,毕竟他就在这段几十里江面讨生活,相对里说,这段江面是太平的,其他不太平的地方他也不敢去。 Generally speaking, this Lijiang River goes north several thousand li (0.5 km) waterway, the range was broad, naturally is various situations has, without the ability and method, is very difficult to walk away the way to seek a livelihood in this river. 总的来说,这漓江北上几千里水路,范围广了,自然是各种情况都有,如果没点能耐和手段,是很难在这条江上走远途讨生活的。 Half double-hour in the past, this Jinshui ferry spot was too quickly remote, the uncle has not waited till other guests, unavoidablily has to untie the string to set sail along the river on. 半个时辰很快过去,这金水渡口太偏僻了,老伯到底没等到其他客人,不得已只好解开绳子起航沿江而上。 The red glowing sun initial rise, scatters in the river the mist. 红日初升,驱散江上薄雾。 Yun Jing stands in the bow, looks at the front continuously continuously to the line of sight end vast Lijiang River, one type read poems a impulsion, but thinks the level that oneself wrote poetry, thinks or considers as finished. 云景站在船头,看着前方一直连绵到视线尽头的浩瀚漓江,有一种吟诗一首的冲动,但想到自己作诗的水平,想了想还是算了。 The following 30 li (0.5 km) waterway has several wharves, the uncles anchored respectively, one after several other ship guests, is some common people, perhaps is the Yun Jing this scholar's reason on ship, each one did not know, they do not have the person who the boatmen uncle sees to be many, is somewhat cautious, has almost not exchanged. 接下来的三十里水路有几个码头,老伯都各自停靠了一下,陆陆续续有十几个船客上来,都是些平民百姓,兴许是云景这个读书人在船上的缘故,各自也不认识,他们没有船家老伯见的人多,有些拘谨,相互之间几乎没有交流。 Each wharf boat covered with black matting can anchor, some people come up some people to get down, the crowded, short meet, each other did not know, separates respectively...... 每个码头这艘乌篷船都会停靠,有人上来就有人下去,人来人往,短暂的相遇,彼此不认识,又各自分开…… Until the sixth wharf time, was less than ten li (0.5 km) to arrive at the going north big freighter that the uncle said again, the boat covered with black matting leaves the wharf to move to the surface of the river, in the wharf some people shouted loudly the boatmen wait/etc. 直到第六个码头的时候,再有不到十里就要到达老伯所说的北上大货船,乌篷船都离开码头驶向江面了,码头上有人高喊船家等等。 That person seems like an impatient person, does not need the boat covered with black matting to turn around to meet, the opposite party displays the qing gong to leap unexpectedly, the tip of the toe in the surface of the river, quick bridged over dozens meters surface of the river to fall on the ship lightly. 那人似乎是个急性子,不待乌篷船掉头过去接,对方居然施展轻功一跃而出,脚尖在江面轻点,很快就跨过几十米江面落到了船上。 Is a practicing martial arts person, the skill is not weak, acquired late stage cultivation base. 是个练武之人,身手不弱,后天后期修为。 Yun Jing looked at one no longer to pay attention slightly. 云景稍微看了一眼就不再关注。 That is a 30 permits man, tall and powerfully built, skin armor, at the back of a long blade, but also slanting at the back of a small package, arrives on the ship, the boat covered with black matting rocks fiercely, making the passenger on ship somewhat startled. 那是一个三十许的男子,身材魁梧,一身皮甲,背着一把长刀,还斜背着一个小包裹,来到船上,乌篷船剧烈晃动,让船上的乘客有些惊慌。 This person of face is resolute, the vision is cold, but is actually the holding the fist in the other hand apology: „Embarrassed, hears this river previous to carry passengers on this ship every day, misses must wait for tomorrow, does not want to miss, the place of alarming also looks to excuse me” 此人一脸刚毅,目光冷冽不苟言笑,但却是抱拳歉意道:“各位不好意思,听闻这段江上每天就这一条船载客,错过就得等明天,不想错过,惊扰之处还望见谅” The civilian passenger on ship sees this person to have the appearance that broadsword is not easy getting along with, where dares to offend, said low voice are not related, looked that does not dare to look at his one eyes, let alone showed the discontented expression. 船上的平民乘客见此人带着大刀一副不好相处的样子,哪儿敢得罪,纷纷小声说没关系,看都不敢看他一眼,更别说露出不满的表情了。 The opposite party have said is modest, pours does not have to say anything again, but to the boatmen inquired how to go to the north of distant place, then the boatmen uncle had said to Yun Jing words saying again. 对方已经道过谦,倒也没再多说什么,而是向船家打听如何去远处的北方,然后船家老伯就把跟云景说过的话再次说了一遍。 Before then, Yun Jing also thinks that the boatmen uncle is only the pure warmheartedness, this appears again, he realized, in fact the uncle also for wants to make the mouth cost of water, after all every time recommends a person to embark he to have the sales commission to take, where has not the warm-hearted truth. 在此之前,云景还以为船家老伯只是纯粹的热心肠,这一幕再次出现,他才意识到,实际上老伯也是为了想多挣点口水钱,毕竟每推荐一个人上船他就有回扣拿,哪儿有不热心的道理。 After that person understands, entrusted the uncle to help give him to arrange a shipping space on the steamship when the time comes, north he must take the steamship to go. 那人了解之后,也委托老伯到时候帮忙给他在大船上安排一个仓位,他也要乘坐大船去北方。 Boatmen uncle not meddlesome, with that person had not said that Yun Jing must go to the north...... 船家老伯没多事儿,并未和那人说云景也要去北方…… The boat covered with black matting goes along the Lijiang River upstream, shortly, Yun Jing has seen a waterfront slightly big point wharf from afar. 乌篷船沿着漓江上游而去,不久后,云景已经远远看到江边一处稍微大点的码头了。 In that wharf the crowded, many coolies in stepping up to transport the cargo to a steamship on. 在那码头上人来人往,很多苦力在加紧搬运货物到一艘大船上。 That is about 80-meter freighter, the drinking water is very deep, although does not have deliberately to observe with thought power, indistinct flavor that but transmits from the wind, Yun Jing guessed that freighter transports is mainly the cooking oil and so on cargo. 那是一艘长达近80米的货船,吃水很深,虽然没有刻意用念力去观察,但从风中传来的隐约味道,云景猜测那货船运送的主要是粮油之类的货物。 Unsurprisingly, that should be the ships that he then must take to go north. 不出意外,那应该就是他接下来要乘坐北上的船只了。 Sure enough, the boat covered with black matting anchors after the wharf, the boatmen uncle lets Yun Jing and that embarking rivers and lakes guest waits a bit, he goes to and freighter effective discussing, shortly, some people bring Yun Jing they to embark. 果不其然,乌篷船停靠在码头后,船家老伯让云景和那个上船的江湖客稍等一下,他去和货船管事的商量,不久后,有人来带云景他们上船。 Paid the shipping charges of 30 copper coins to the boatmen of boat covered with black matting, Yun Jing and that rivers and lakes guest boarded the big freighter, under the arrangement in freighter, they were brought a 45 squares cabin, this cabin at present only then they. 给乌篷船的船家付了三十个铜板的船资,云景和那江湖客上了大货船,在货船方面的安排下,两人被带到了一个只有四五平方的船舱,这个船舱目前只有他们两人。 Brings the person who they come is very obviously busy, only makes them first settle, the passage fare some people receive when the time comes, then hurried departure. 带他们来的人显然很忙,只让他们先自己安顿好,船费到时候有人来收,然后就匆匆忙忙的离去。 „North this young master, you also does go? That side is not peaceful, what does your student running north make?” “这位公子,你也去北方？那边可不太平,你一介书生跑北方去做什么？” When Yun Jing sizes up this narrow and small cabin, that rivers and lakes guest asked curiously. 在云景打量这狭小船舱的时候,那江湖客好奇问。 Yun Jing said with a smile: „Studies away from home, grows story” 云景笑道:“游学,增长见闻” The opposite party nod to say with a smile: „Perhaps so that's how it is, then must live together in this cabin with the young master some time, I am a careless person, if there is any not good place, but also asked the young master to forgive much” 对方点点头笑道:“原来如此,接下来恐怕要和公子在这船舱中同住一段时间了,我是个粗人,若有什么不好的地方,还请公子多多包涵” „Big brother spoke discreetly, being away from home the meet is the reason, everyone forgave mutually”, Yun Jing said with a smile, then could not bear asked curiously: „What matter does big brother this go to the north behavior?” “大哥言重了,出门在外相遇是缘,大家相互体谅”,云景笑道,然后忍不住好奇问:“大哥此去北方所为何事？” Mentioned the goal, that person has not concealed actually, was only on the face a correct path: „Goes north, kills the enemy to serve the country!” 提到此行目的,那人倒是没有隐瞒,只是脸上一正道:“北上,杀敌报国！” ...... ……
