Wow——
The river is turbulent and the river is moody in summer. The summer monsoon is the main factor affecting the heavy precipitation in the south. When the summer monsoon affects the Yangtze River Basin at the same time, the south of the river basin and the north of the river will also enter the rainy season at the same time. The water in the southern tributaries and the water from the north The water from the tributaries enters the main river at the same time. If there is too much water and irregular rainfall, it will cause river floods.
The huge water vapor is not the same as the comfortable northern Central Plains. I am about to reach Dajiang and spend the night near a small passing market. There are seven or eight tribes here that form a trading market. The scale is naturally not as big as Shouxiu, nor is it. It may be compared with Shangqiu, but for the four friends who went south to start a business, it is already an excellent place to supplement their travel resources.
Since it is trade, there will be humans coming and going from far away and nearby.
Xiang was squatting under the eaves of a stone house in the market. The rushing water fell close to his nose and fell in front of his feet. The hay under his buttocks was already a little wet and was obviously about to rot.
"When will this rain stop? The closer we get to the south, the more frequent it will rain. It rains every two days."
He seemed to be complaining and seemed bored. He did see a lot of things he had never seen before while traveling. It was fun but also really tiring.
The shell coins given by his brother were spent a lot, and Xiang wanted to borrow money from Xiong Tao and the others, but Xiong Tao and the others refused to give it to him, telling Xiang that if he wanted goods, he should look after the stall for them.
Xu'er built a small place in the market. His cow was covered with packages. In addition to daily necessities, there were also some strange little things. He sold them here, just like small things. Just like grocery stalls, people in small tribes seem to rarely see things from the Central Plains, so they pick and choose, while Xuer tells them, we buy your things, you need Pengbei, but you buy our things, But we don’t accept friends anymore.
Can be bartered.
"I heard that the south is very barbaric, and the people there don't have Pengbei, so we'd better bring more supplies, otherwise we won't be able to do business there. Pengbei that can be used in the Central Plains and Dongyi has arrived. The South is useless.”
Xu'er told Xiong Tao, Xi Zhong, and Xiang that he should quickly exchange the shell coins in his hands for some supplies. He only needed to keep a few shell coins and replenish supplies from here when he came back from the south. .
Yes, if you resell small things from the south here, the small tribes here will be happy again, and Xu'er and his four friends can also gather the supplies to return to the Central Plains. Although the people from the Dingling country are fast, But if you hire them, you might get ripped off, and the price is not cheap.
After all, the four little friends are not Uncle Xi. Uncle Xi can ask Nailingren to carry him all the way to Dongyi, and then tell the big hand to record it in the account book of his second brother Xizhong, but there is no one to help the four little friends. They reimburse travel expenses.
"Brothers, I've heard that the Mudu clan here can help us build ships to cross the river, but I don't have enough money. You need to add more. They need two hundred coins, and I only have thirty-five here."
Xiong Tao came back in the rain and told everyone a mixed news.
Although everyone rode two oxen over here, they were oxen from the north. However, the river is so deep and wide that even the water buffaloes might not be able to cross it. Not to mention that it has been a rainy period recently and the river is turbulent, so you have to ride an animal across it. , then the safest thing is probably Jiaolong...
The key is that there are people who rent out buffaloes, but there are no people who rent out dragons.
Xiang looked at his wallet, which was just a small animal skin pocket.
There are only three shell coins in it.
"hehe."
Seeing Xiang's expression, Xiong Tao couldn't help but sneered: "Are you out of money?"
"hehe."
Xiang Yehehe goes back, if there is no money, there will be no money.
"Three, I'll give them all to you."
Compared to Xiang's embarrassment, the other three people had much more money, Xiong Tao had thirty-five, and Xu'er was a professional businessman, so even though he bought a lot of supplies with his shell coins, he still had eighty left. Three, and the most surprising thing is Xi Zhong. He actually has a whole wooden box of shell coins. After counting, there are 122 shell coins left.
Is this a rich person?
Xiang's eyes were shining, but Xi Zhong glanced at him disdainfully.
The self-restraint of the Moonlight Tribe is reflected at this time. Others only start to spend their shells when they get here, but like the places they pass along the way, they have to look at any market if they don't buy something. Feeling uncomfortable all over.
Chonghua didn't have much money in total, so he gave it all to him. As a result, he spent it so quickly, which gave him a certain understanding of the character of the other three companions.
Xiang is a naughty person who is playful, lazy, and spends money lavishly. But if he encounters something he is interested in, he will keep doing it and can do it for a whole day. This kind of personality is not so much ADHD as attention. The kind of person who can't concentrate.
After everyone collected enough shell coins, they went to Mudushi after the heavy rain stopped.
The old NPC inside, no, the old carpenter saw the two hundred shell coins and said he could work now.
Then, he pulled out a relatively sturdy wooden boat from his warehouse.
"Hey, don't say this boat is expensive, this boat is actually worth the price."
The old carpenter lit a pot, and then slowly talked about the past.
"Two years ago, a man passed by us and said he wanted to cross the river to the other side. I entrusted him with my previous tribe's boat and my proud work, but he seemed very disgusted and said it was junk. The boat cannot withstand the wind and waves of the river, so he said I lied to him..."
"So I became very angry. In my extreme anger, I wanted to compete with him in boating skills, but in the end, I lost. The boats he made were stronger and stronger than mine. I saw his skills. , I am astonished by the gods, among the carpenters, I am willing to call him the strongest..."
The gang spirit the old carpenter was talking about was Danzhu who went to the south from here.
But the four friends didn't know and didn't want to know who the birdman was. They hung the ship's lasso on the big ox, and then worked hard with the two oxen. The logs under the ship rolled towards the river. Go slowly.
The river was turbulent. After leaving Mudu Market, at the edge of the river, looking at the turbulent river tide, the four friends looked at the mist-filled river on the other side...
"Boom!"
Xiong Tao threw the pig leg he was carrying into the river and shouted:
"Goddess of Qixiang, let me cross the river safely and give you the pig legs to eat!"
After the sacrifices were thrown in, the friends pushed the two big oxen onto the boat, and then the four of them stood on it, riding the wind and waves, swaying three times, and rowed towards the other side of the river.
