Chapter 429
The supersonic plane traveled for over an hour before Ji Yonghao and Astrid stopped.
Although this place has not yet reached Jiangnan City, it is already considered to be the boundary of Jiangnan City. There are countless villages around each city. There are many civilians living in these villages. Provide food.
Of course, Jiangnan City is no exception.
The place where Ji Yonghao stopped is the bank of the Qinghe River. The Qinghe River is a branch of the Heaven and Earth River. It flows through Jiangnan City. The river is famous for its calm and clear water.
Ji Yonghao dressed in white clothed, holding a folding fan, wearing a dark night suit with a momentaneous splendor on his back, Astrid followed him step by step.
This time when he came to Jiangnan City, in addition to going to Ji Family, he also wanted to visit this famous city in the whole country. Even Xuanyuan Qianxia said that this city is very beautiful. a bit.
So, I wanted to find a boat and go along the Qinghe River into the city.
"Boatman, do you want to go to Jiangnan City?" Ji Yonghao saw a boat on the shore. Dilapidated, there is a ceiling in the middle of the boat supported by several wooden poles, surrounded by floral fabrics, forming a closed cabin, outside there is an old man with a hat half lying on the deck sleeping soundly, so he asked.
The old boatman took off his hat and saw the pair of Handsome Men and Beautiful Women. He was surprised for a moment, and immediately hurriedly said: "This Young Master and Lady, are you going to Jiangnan City? Only two pieces are needed. Silver Coin."
Ji Yonghao took out a gold coin, flicked his thumb, and flew into the hands of the old boatman, saying, "Don't look for it."
Old man The boatman took the gold coin with a look of ecstasy on his face. He was even more respectful to Ji Yonghao. He hurriedly greeted Ji Yonghao and the two of them to board the boat. Yelled: "Er Ya, there are guests here, quickly make tea for the guests!"
"Hey, here it is, Daddy!" A female voice sounded in the cabin, and then quickly pulled away the flowers around the cabin.
After the two of Ji Yonghao got on the boat, they looked up and saw that there was a girl in the cabin, but the girl had rough skin and a little dark, she was just a village girl, Ji Yonghao didn't look at it much. .
"Sit objectively and set sail." The old boatman greeted, picked up the long pole and propped the boat away from the shore.
The boat was running smoothly on the Qinghe River, and the speed was very fast. Ji Yonghao stood on the bow and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river. The wind brought by the speed of the boat blew up his clothes. He felt extremely Comfortable.
Although Astrid had slender legs on high-heeled boots, she stood firmly behind Ji Yonghao without shaking at all. The breeze blew her short skirt. , looked around vigilantly.
She knows that this is a river, and it is also a branch of the river of Heaven and Earth. Even if there is an aquatic devil beast, it is not uncommon. His Highness the Prince is not wearing armor. What if something happens.
"Astrid, don't worry too much, I know that even if there is devil beast, it won't hurt me, just relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery." Ji Yonghao said with a smile.
He is not a fool, the boatmen here are obviously ordinary persons, and they should have been punting here for a long time, and they are still alive, so the probability of danger is not high, and he can always equip hope Armor, as well as space barrier and teleportation that can be released at any time, will not pose any danger at all.
"Understood, Hall... Young Master." Astrid replied softly in a loli voice, but still did not relax.
"Young Master, Miss, please come and drink tea." Erya shouted Ji Yonghao and Astrid in a loud voice, but did not dare to look at Ji Yonghao.
Although Erya is only a village girl, she still has some vision. When you look at the clothes of this Young Master, as well as the crown, jade pendant, folding fan, gold belt and so on, you will know it is Aristocratic Family Young Master is not something that a village girl like her can expect.
She looked towards Astrid, her slender figure, fair skin, and glamorous temperament made her feel ashamed.
Ji Yonghao walked under the shed and took a sip of the tea. Although it was not a good tea, it was not a good one.
"Old man, do you run a boat on this river every day?" Ji Yonghao leaned on the side of the boat with a teacup and asked the boatman at the stern loudly.
The boat has reached a certain speed, and the old boatman is much lighter. Hearing Ji Yonghao's question, the old boatman Ruddy Complexion said: "Yes, this Young Master, old fogey is already in this Qinghe River. I have been on the boat for more than 30 years, haha, I am more familiar with the nearby villages and the waterways of Jiangnan City."
Ji Yonghao asked again, "How can such a big river still exist? Connected to the river of Heaven and Earth, you have run the ship for 30 years, and you have not encountered any danger? Such as the powerful devil beast?"
"devil beast?" The old boatman Confused, he suddenly said, "Master Young, are you talking about the river demon?"
"The river demon?" Ji Yonghao was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he understood.
devil beast is just a professional title. Ordinary person can call these powerful devil beasts any name, so it is not unusual to call them river monsters.
"Forget it!" Ji Yonghao nods."Ai, Young Master, you don't know, several decades ago, there were some powerful river demons living in the Qinghe River. Eat it." The old boatman sighed.
Immediately smiled again, and said gratefully: "Fortunately, thirty years ago, a more powerful river demon came to this river, and now we all call it the river god, and the river god drives it away. After walking away all the river demons, we settled in this Qinghe River. At first, we were also very afraid of the river god, but later found that the river god did not attack us, and would bless us calm and tranquil in the Qinghe River, benefiting countless villagers. "
"Is there such a thing?" Ji Yonghao squinted his eyes, according to his understanding, this so-called river god should be a powerful devil beast, but shouldn't devil beast and humans be A natural enemy? Of course, Golden Giant Dragon, etc. are not counted, they are intelligent, and they are still overwhelmed by Golden Lion.
devil beast actually protects humans? This is simply an anecdote, but it is not considered protection, it is just that it does not eat people, and occupied the river by itself. But if you don't eat people, it will drive away other devil beasts that eat people, and it will also make Qinghe calm and tranquil, which is already a good devil beast.
"Dad, have you seen this river god with your own eyes? Does it really not harm humans?" Ji Yonghao asked.
The old boatman nodded with a smile and said: "This river god has always lived in the Qinghe Gorge in front of the valley, where the river is crystal clear, and the villagers nearby have visited it. It is very good. Great."
"However, we ordinary people don't dare to disturb the river god, so we just looked at it from a distance, old fogey I pass by there every day, and the river god usually doesn't come out. Only when there is a river demon will the river god come out."
The old boatman told the story of the river god, the boat sailed slowly, and gradually came to a section of calmer waters. Both sides of the river are steep mountains with many trees, and the clearly visible sound of ape's cries echoes in the mountain streams.
