Fish swimming around the world

It is better to say that it is a small ferry than a pier. It should be used for ordinary ferrying across the river. Five or six boats of different sizes are docked on the shore. There are not many people, and a dozen boatmen are sitting there chatting leisurely.

"The Black Sail Pirates will definitely pay attention to such a place. We should continue to ride horses."

Ding Shaoan said while looking at the pier from a distance.

Jiang Fan smiled and rode towards the pier on his own.

"You are young and ignorant!" Ding Shaoan was slightly angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to follow everyone.

"Captain! Can you hire a boat?" Jiang Fan got off his horse and walked to several boatmen.

An old man wearing a bamboo hat looked at the few people and smiled: "Dear guests, are you going to the other side?"

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "We are going to the east, about 50 miles, how much money?"

The old man in the bamboo hat looked at everyone and counted on his fingers: "Young man, you can hire two boats with these people and horses, but it's more than 100 miles round trip, the journey is far, how about charging you three strings of money for two boats?"

"The price is fair, OK, in this case, please set off immediately."

Looking back at Ding Shaoan: "Brother Shaoan, can you lend me some money?"

Ding Shaoan was furious: "Boy! You are the employer, how can you ask me to borrow money?"

Jiang Fan said indifferently: "It's an emergency, I will pay you double when I get there."

"No!"

But Xiong Da suddenly said: "Give... give it to him."

Ding Shaoan was not happy, but he finally paid the boat fare.

A group of eleven people hired two boats and sailed down the river. In a short time, they had traveled more than forty miles.

Jiang Fan sat at the bow of the boat, and seemed to be a little bored, so he chatted with the bow: "Captain, there were not many people at the ferry just now, and the business is probably not very good."

The bow shouted to the boatman to row, and smiled: "What you said is right, brother, usually we cross the river from the Hecang County Wharf. Opposite here is the eastern suburbs of Bao'an County, and we rely on the villages and towns in the outer city to make a little money."

Jiang Fan said: "There are only two villages and towns in the eastern suburbs of Bao'an County. Since business is scarce, why don't we go to the Hecang County Wharf to make a living? It's easier than here anyway."

The bow said: "There are many people and boats there, and you have to pay a large amount of membership fees. It's not much better than here."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Is that the reason? Or..." He suddenly knocked the side of the boat with his scabbard: "Are you waiting for me here?"

The captain was stunned: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Jiang Fan said: "Captain, your boatmen are not weak, and everyone knows kung fu. Isn't it a pity to be a boatman?"

The captain sighed: "Brother, just tell me, where did we give ourselves away?"

Jiang Fan said: "As you said, there is not much business here. There are only one or two ferries. I happen to know them all. Some of them are unfamiliar."

The captain smiled: "Just based on this?"

Jiang Fan said: "That's not the case, but the one who releases birds in the forest is not suitable. Why release a carrier eagle here? In addition, you all obviously know kung fu, what do you say? Tell me, how can it be such a coincidence? "

The captain saw this and took off his hat without trying to cover it up: "Brother, anyone can see such an obvious thing, why do you still want to board the ship?"

Jiang Fan said: "Hey! We really need a ship, and if we don't board the ship, you will have to do it at the dock even if you are short of manpower. I am a person who thinks of others. It is inconvenient for everyone to do it at the dock. Now that we are on the pirate ship, you should be relieved. So, shouldn't you get off the boat?"

The captain said: "Brother, these people are good underwater players, aren't you afraid that we will go down and stab the boat?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "No, the water is turbulent in the middle of the river here, and it is not easy to stab the boat. Besides, you are just spies, messengers. That's enough. Your superiors should want to take the prisoners alive, but you guys can't do that. Now that we are on the boat, there is no need to worry about us running away on the river, so why bother to drill the boat. Take the horses and go, so that we can deal with the pursuers waiting for you. "

The boatman laughed: "Brother, you are a wise man. In this case, I will take my leave. Although I don't know why you are willing to take the risk, I advise you that you can't run away on the river, so you might as well surrender as soon as possible. "

Jiang Fan smiled: "Maybe not, maybe you will have to watch me for a hundred miles."

The boatman shook his head and said: "You are dreaming, look, our people are here, I won't accompany you."

After that, he led his men to jump into the river and swam towards the boat with horses.

"Why not kill it!" Xiong San said, looking at the sailboat faintly visible in the distance.

Jiang Fan said, "It's not necessary. They are just messengers. Let's save some energy."

Ding Shaoan said, "Since you already knew it was wrong, why did you have to board the ship? Isn't this courting death?"

Jiang Fan pointed to the river: "According to this distance, even if the big ship is fast, it will take a quarter of an hour to catch up with us, but we don't need to go any further."

He turned around and saw a small sandbar on the river. Surrounded by the river, silver sands spread on the ground, and a small jungle in the center, the environment is very beautiful.

"Is that Bailuzhou?" Ding Shaoan frowned: "What is there here?"

Jiang Fan said, "Fishermen, what else can there be on the sandbar? Birds of a feather flock together. I am a fisherman and I only know these fishermen."

Two large ships on the river, with their black sails bulging, rode the wind and flowed down the river at extremely fast speeds.

On the first ship, a woman in black tights put down her hand on her forehead and frowned slightly: "Our people jumped into the river."

"Miss, have Boss Wang and the others been discovered?" said a middle-aged man in his forties.

"It's normal for them to be found. What's abnormal is that these people didn't kill anyone. What are they going to do?"

The middle-aged man looked at the river from a distance, and his expression suddenly changed: "Miss, ahead is the head of Bailuzhou."

Bailuzhou? The woman said: "It's just a tidal flat. Are they going to fight us to the death here?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that the lady doesn't know about Bailuzhou?"

The woman was stunned for a moment: "How about Bailuzhou?"

The middle-aged man said: "That's right. The young lady has only been adopted by the gang leader for three years. I'm afraid she hasn't heard of the legends of this place."

He pondered and said: "Miss, you should remember that the gang leader had strictly ordered not to go near Bailuzhou. It is rumored that there is a group of exotic egrets here, all of them are extraordinary, and they only live here."

"My adoptive father said, it's just a group of egrets, why are they not allowed to get close to them?"

The middle-aged man said: "This subordinate doesn't know, and the gang leader never allowed me to ask. I just vaguely heard that these egrets seem to be raised by others."

The woman said: "It is not new for fishermen to raise egrets for fishing, but why is Egret Island a forbidden area?"

The middle-aged man said: "No matter what, if they are going to Bailuzhou, we'd better ask the gang leader for instructions before making further calculations. The gang leader is very taboo about this place."
