The fast travel is too late

Chapter 30

The roads in this era are all dirt roads, which are not very easy to walk, and even the official roads are also bumpy.

The speed of the carriage can be described as galloping in the first half of the carriage. However, Xin Wu's wings in the carriage were too short and her whole body had no place to focus. As soon as the carriage speed increased, she rolled around in the carriage as if she had fallen into a drum washing machine. Dizzy.

In desperation, like Cen Shen driving a car, he asked for help, and got an artificial seat belt, which was kindly provided by Cen Shen.

Xin Wu was carried into Cen Shen's arms, and her head was exposed outside, no matter how bumpy the carriage was, it would not affect her.

However, the speed of the carriage still slowed down.

According to Cen Shen, they had to walk along the path, which would save a lot of time.

Everyone knows that trails are usually not very easy to walk.

Xin Wu didn't know what the exact route was, but after being held in Cen Shen's arms, she knew that Cen Shen had already prepared for it.

There is a road map drawn in Cen Shen's arms. The densely packed routes, marks made of various symbols, and the smell of ink on the map are still very fresh. These all show that the road map was drawn by Cen Shen himself. This fact.

There are many forks on the path, and Cen Shen would always take out a map from his pocket at this time.At this time, the carriage will stop for a while, and then continue on the road after Cen Shen confirms.

They stopped and stopped along the way, and they couldn't see the intersection when Cen Shen said that they changed paths.

But this is not without benefits.

Whenever they stop to resupply, it is usually in a ravine or somewhere far away from human habitation, where the scenery is good and Xinwu can come out to have some fun.

After walking like this for half a month, Cen Shen finally announced that their destination was about to arrive.

In front of them is a river, the river is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance.If you don't cross the river and just follow the direction of the river downstream, you can reach the capital of Xinye.And the place Xin Wu and Cen Shen were going to was Linjiang City, which was on the opposite side of the river.

This means that they need to cross the river. In addition to people and carriages, what they need is a relatively large boat.

There is no need for the small broken boats that fishermen use to fish.

When they arrived at the riverside, there were already many people gathered there, which was completely different from the situation when they didn't meet a fellow traveler on the road.

The riverside is very lively.

People who want to cross the river, fishermen who fish, boaters who row boats, and people who sell food among the crowd.Noisy voices, lively scene.

Sitting in the carriage, Cen Shen had no intention of getting out of the carriage.

With a wide view, you can see the crowded appearance of the riverside at a glance.

Xin Wu got out of Cen Shen's arms, she knew that it was impossible for her to greet those boatmen.Even if it's only across the river from Linjiang City, where humans and demons live together, who knows who she will meet.

Dealing with outsiders is such a difficult thing, let Cen Shen, Xin Wu take care of the logistics.

There were many boatmen on the riverside to attract guests, and Xin Wu was not sure which one Cen Shen would choose, so she jumped over Cen Shen and ran back to the back compartment, turned around, and took out a purse.Cen Shen didn't have a purse on him.

"Ah Yan, are we going to take a big boat next? It's really great, I haven't been on a boat yet?"

Sending the money bag to Cen Shen, Xin Wu said in a dreamy tone.

She has never been on a boat before, she only wandered around in the small county town of her hometown, and never went out of the province.

The means of travel are cars and boats, which are only seen on TV.

Of course, the small broken boats swimming in the lake in the park cannot be counted.

"Do you want to make a big boat? You can try my boat. Boarding the boat will give you a chance to do fortune-telling~"

Suddenly there was an extra head beside the carriage, and it was directly in front of Xin Wu, almost scaring her to death.

"Oh, hoo, don't be afraid!" The speaker took two steps back. He is now a white-haired grandfather, and he has wavy lines when he speaks, which is very lively.

Cen Shen blocked Xin Wu behind him, and looked at him warily.Appearing suddenly, if the other party didn't take the initiative to make a sound, he would not be able to find the other party's existence.

Ever since leaving Cenjia Village, Cen Shen's nerves have been very tight. He always pays attention to the surrounding area and can respond immediately to any disturbance.But this person approached silently, which was beyond his expectation.

"what are you going to do?"

"I'm just an ordinary boatman, soliciting business." The old man who claimed to be a boatman didn't care about Cen Shen's vigilance, and waved to Xin Wu, dutifully wooing customers.

"Are we going to be his boat?" Xin Wu, who had been impenetrably blocked, was finally freed from Cen Shen's sleeve.

Cen Shen got off the carriage and loosened his sleeves covering Xin Wu.

Following behind the old man, Cen Shen responded in a low voice.

He noticed that after the old man appeared next to their carriage, the boatmen who were soliciting business in the crowd avoided the carriage intentionally and walked completely around the carriage.

Obviously, if they refused the old man's offer, they would not find any other boat that could take them across the river.

It's also strange, are the rules so obeyed here?Wouldn't they steal business?
The answer is no solution, so they can only follow behind the old man.

Bypassing the crowd, Cen Shen and the others arrived at the place where the boats were moored by the river. Rows of large boats were parked together in an orderly manner, which was quite spectacular.

After struggling to push the carriage onto the boat, the old man walked into the cabin and said that he had gone there with a tool for divination.

The boat is quite big, standing on the deck, the river wind blows people cold.

"That grandpa doesn't look bad." Xin Wu was a little distressed. Are she and Cen Shen going to have good luck?
You don’t need to look for it yourself, the boat owner will deliver it to your door, and you can also give other services as a bonus.

It’s a bit too much of a discount!
"It doesn't matter, he is the boatman, we are the people on the boat, there will be no intersection after crossing the river, it doesn't matter whether he is a good person or a bad person. Anyway, he doesn't seem like a person who can throw us into the river. "

After Cen Shen got on the boat, he compared the difference in force between him and the old man, and came to the conclusion that there was no need to be afraid.For someone like the old man, it's no problem for him to hit three with one.

And he seems to have heard the name of the old man.A not-so-serious fortune teller, all he thinks about is how to be a good boatman and how to maintain his boat.The old man has a rule that anyone who takes his boat can get a fortune-telling for free, and this person must be chosen by himself.

Although Cen Shen had never met him before, the name of the old man was widely spread, and he had never heard of anyone impersonating him, so there was no need to worry.

"Um"

Xin Wu has always been convinced by Cen Shen's words, so Xin Wu doesn't worry about other things.

Squatting on Cen Shen's shoulders, she wanted to feel the different scenery on the river before the boat started.Otherwise, when the boat leaves, if she gets seasick, she won't even want to see the scenery.

The hull of the boat is still quite a distance from the river surface. Standing on the deck and looking at the river surface, the vast expanse is almost the same as the water and the sky.

Xin Wu stared at the water surface for a long time but did not see the fish jumping out, they were all swimming back and forth in the water.It's a pity that the river is very turbid and the visibility is quite low.Otherwise, she would really like to step on the water, it must be fun.

After waiting for a while, the old man who took the things finally came back.There was an extra lottery tube in his hand, and there were a lot of lots in the tube, it seemed that Cen Shen was going to draw lots.

Xin Wu stared at the old man for a long time, wondering if she could draw a lot later.She is also very interested in divination.

　Anyone want to talk to me about the plot?
