Chapter 141 Disembarking
“young man, are you shipwrecked?”
The old man of the fishing boat, moved towards Lin Xu who was sitting on the wooden board shouted.
“Forget it!” Lin Xu said with a bitter smile.
He just didn’t want to attract attention, so he picked up a wooden board and sat on it, not thinking that he would be mistaken for a shipwreck.
But now he looks like a shipwrecked shipwreck with his ragged clothes and disheveled hair.
“Come on to our ship! I’ll take you back!” the old man greeted warmly.
“Thank you, old man, I’ll just paddle over by myself.”
Lin Xu shook his head and refused.
The old man’s boat was full, full of fresh fish, and it seemed that it was difficult to even get off his feet. He didn’t want to squeeze in and asked for trouble.
“You’re welcome! When you go out, you will inevitably encounter difficulties! Especially for those of us who seek life at sea, there is no reason to see death! Don’t look at my old ship, the speed is fast!”
Lin Xu refused, but had no choice but to board the old man’s fishing boat.
By the way, he also wanted to ask something.
The fishing boat is not big, and it can barely seat two or three people without the boathouse.
The old man’s harvest this time was obviously good. The boathouse was already full, and many fish were piled in bamboo baskets on the deck outside.
On the fishing boat, not only the old man himself, but also his son, a black rough man who looks simple and honest.
When Lin Xu got on the boat, the old man skillfully pulled up the sail and slid the oars to the port.
“Does the old man know how far it is from Yueqing City?”
“It’s not too far, just over ten miles away! Young man is from Yueqing City?”
“No, I just happened to go there to run errands.”
“Looking at the accent, the young man should be a northerner, right?”
“My hometown is Tai Prefecture Rock Water City. .”
“I haven’t heard of Rock Water City, but Tai Prefecture is not too close to here, how can you run so far alone?”
“It’s hard to say.”
Lin Xu shook his head with a wry smile, he didn’t want to come, he was forced.
“Father, you are confused!”
The black man sighed who couldn’t stand it reminded.
Someone who went out alone at such a young age must have died in a shipwreck.
My dad really can’t lift the pot without opening it!
Lao Tzu was stunned, chatting so happily that he forgot about the other party’s situation.
But looking at the young man in front of him, it doesn’t look like his family is dead.
Regardless of true or false, this kind of thing should not be mentioned again.
“As people get older, their brains can’t do what they want! Young man, don’t mind!”
“It’s all over, the old man doesn’t need to care.” Smile, and there is no major change in expression.
This made the old man even more surprised, and at the same time, he also secretly admired that such a temperament at such a young age is definitely not an ordinary family.
Actually, you can tell from Lin Xu’s appearance that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
A fair complexion, a handsome face, and an elegant demeanor can be cultivated by an ordinary person.
Even with messy hair, you can see a good temperament.
The two chatted for a while, and the boat gradually docked. The man closed the sails, father and son, and slid the oars to slow down the boat.
The place they docked was not a port, just a small pier. There are many such piers in the vicinity, basically only fishing boats and some small passenger boats with five or six people.
Occasionally, there will be large merchant ships, and the building ships will pass by, but they will not dock.
After the boat docked, the old man immediately greeted two familiar workers to help unload the fish on the boat.
This time, the harvest is more, just because their father and son are a little busy. As for seafood, as long as there is a little delay, the quality will drop several levels. Although it is a bit painful to hire workers, in order to sell at a good price, we can only endure it.
Lin Xu also looked at him sorry, and raised his hand.
Originally, the old man wanted to stop him. After all, Lin Xu was white and tender. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a pampered young master who was powerless.
Although this world advocates Martial Arts, it is not that simple to practice martial arts, especially at the beginning of laying the foundation, it takes a lot of hard work.
Many families dote on their children and refuse to persecute them, and eventually they will cultivate some lazy waste.
Another point is that the old people are ordinary fishermen who do not understand the mystery of internal strength. People who think that the martial arts are high-strength are all five big and three rough, no matter how bad they are, they should have sharp eyes and strong posture.
Lin Xu doesn’t look like a person who knows martial arts.
At least at his age, and looking like this, it’s hard for people not to misunderstand him.
But after Lin Xu easily lifted the hundred-jin basket, I knew that he was wrong. The young man in front of him was definitely not simple.
“Little brother! What a lot of strength!” The old man’s son couldn’t help but praise him.
“I have only practiced some superficial handling.” Lin Xu said with a smile.
The workers who helped with the transportation also looked at Lin Xu curiously, but they didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
Although they are not martial arts people, they also understand the rules of the arena. It is best not to inquire about other people’s martial arts.
After most of the fish had been moved, an old lady with a rickety body was pulled by an eight or nine-year-old little girl with a bamboo basket in her hand.
“Lin Xu, don’t move, leave the rest to Pharaoh and the others, let’s eat something, and we’ll go to the city later!”
The old man picked up After passing the bamboo basket handed by the old lady, he greeted Lin Xu and his son.
The old lady is no accident the wife of the old man, and the little girl is naturally the granddaughter of the old man.
The little girl is black and thin, except for a pair of eyes, she can hardly find a bright spot.
She seemed a little afraid of Lin Xu, hid behind her grandmother and looked at Lin Xu carefully.
Lin Xu laughed at the little girl and said hello to the unsuspecting one.
The old man pointed to a small basket, palm-size, cakes made of dried fish, dried shrimps, corn, and coarse flour, and said proudly: “The fish cakes made by my old woman are considered one of the most popular ones in the neighborhood. Absolutely, few can compare to it! Even the Giant Whale Gang has specially asked her to do it!”
“It’s just to help in the past.” The old lady said moderately.
The man was sighed with disgust, obviously he had heard his father brag like this more than once.
He pulled his daughter over and let her sit next to him and eat together.
But the little girl seemed to care about Lin Xu very much, and kept staring at him carefully when she was pulled over by her father.
Lin Xu didn’t care, he took a piece of fish cake and chewed it in his mouth.
He ate not long ago and wasn’t hungry at all, but now he’s just pretending.
But these rough looking fish cakes taste really good. The umami and saltiness are just right, and the shrimp inside is firm and elastic. The only downside is that there is occasionally a bit of grit in it.
Looking at the old man and the man, he didn’t seem to feel it at all.
I don’t know if it’s a habit of eating for a long time, or if sand is also one of the characteristics of fish cakes.
With Lin Xu’s teeth, even a stone can be crushed and digested, not to mention a few grains of sand. He pretended not to care, swallowed it in a few sips, and then drank a little, brewed tea with inferior tea foam.
“Is the Giant Whale Gang still around?” Lin Xu wiped his mouth, stopped eating and asked.
According to his speculation, after losing many experts including Gang Lord, the Giant Whale Gang should have been replaced by other forces.
“Of course, the Giant Whale Gang is so strong, who can move it!” The old man said as it should be by rights.
“oh?”
This surprised Lin Xu a bit.
He continued to ask: “Hasn’t there been any major event in the giant whale gang recently?”
“Major event? If we want to say a major event, it is probably the new Gang Lord of the giant whale gang.” Recruited a son-in-law who came to the door!”
Let’s ask for votes!
