Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 89 Mr. Tian pays the bill

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the boat turned pale with fright.

Hu Qian looked around and saw nothing strange.

But even so, the sudden torrential rain and huge waves are really strange.

Seeing the waves crashing on the deck suddenly, the boss of the ship kowtowed again: "Who! Who is the one who violated the taboo! Tell me quickly, or everyone will die!"

At this time, an old man pointed to the woman holding the child and said, "It's her! Her child kept crying, and she said she would throw him down if he kept crying!" The boat boss immediately ran to the woman, widened his eyes and said, "This way How can you say it on the boat! Now the water god master is serious! Hurry up and throw the child down to worship the water god master!"

The woman shouted in fright: "I'm just an ignorant person, please calm down, Lord Water God!"

However, the wind and rain are getting bigger and bigger, and there is no way to stop.

The boat boss immediately went to grab the child in the woman's arms. Although the woman tried her best to protect her, she was not as strong as the boat boss who had been running the boat all year round.

Although the people on the boat couldn't bear it, if they didn't throw the child down, everyone would die here, so everyone just watched.

The woman fell several times in the rain, rolled and crawled and grabbed the leg of the boat boss, crying, "My child! Give me back my child!"

The boss of the boat didn't care about her, he dragged her to the side of the boat, and was about to throw her away!

Hu Qian suddenly flashed in front of the boss of the boat, pointed at Longyuan Sword in his hand, and shouted: "Give back the child to her!"

The boat boss begged: "Young master, if you don't throw the child down, we will all die here!"

Hu Qian picked up the tip of the sword and said coldly: "Give it back to her!"

The boat boss was furious and shouted: "You are a scholar! What do you know! Do you want to kill everyone!"

Hu Qian didn't talk nonsense, with a flick of his wrist, a sword light immediately swept across the river, and the surging waves were split into two at once.

The boss of the boat knelt on the ground in fright, and the woman hurriedly took back her child.

The people on the boat were still blaming Hu Qian for meddling in his own business, but they were all silent at the moment.

Hu Qian jumped on the mast and shouted towards the river: "If something happens again, it will cost your life!" After speaking, another sword light swept down.

"Boom!"

The surface of the river was cut open like tofu, and the waves on both sides swelled hundreds of feet, knocking down the trees on both banks.

Including Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi, everyone was terrified.

The boss of the boat kowtowed all the more, "Master Immortal, please forgive me..."

When the water surface closed again, the hull moved suddenly and moved forward slowly.

Looking at the river surface again, there are no huge waves and eddies, the dark clouds above the head dissipate in an instant, the torrential rain stops instantly, and after a while, a rainbow appears on the river surface.

The boss of the boat was still kowtowing, Hu Qian walked over and kicked him, and shouted: "Go and sail!"

The boss of the boat ran away as if he had received an amnesty.

The woman walked over with the child in her arms and knelt down on the ground, "Thank you, Master Immortal, for saving your life."

Hu Qian pulled her up, "I'm not some fairy master."

However, even though he said this, everyone on the boat regarded him as a god, and their words and deeds were all respectful, even passing by, they did not dare to speak loudly.

Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi said in horror: "Although I knew that respectful means are extraordinary, I never expected such a shocking supernatural power. No wonder they regard you as a god. Even gods can't compare to such means."

"That's right, if I knew what kind of water god we would worship like this, I would just worship you."

"That's right, even the water god has to obey you obediently."

Just as Hu Qian was about to speak, suddenly there was a wave of water, and a half-arm-long herring suddenly jumped onto the deck.

A few people were taken aback, and they dared not boast again.

Hu Qian went over to pick up the herring, saw that it was just a very ordinary herring, and then cut open the fish with Longyuan sword, and there was something hidden in the bulging belly of the fish.

After opening it, I saw that it looked like a stone. After washing it with clean water, it turned out to be the stone carving of Yaoqin that Hu Qian had bought at Selloi Wharf.

Hu Qian laughed, "This water god also has a heart."

Then he cupped his hands in the direction of the Water God Temple. As for the herring, he wanted to use it to make soup, but Guo Yu and the others reasoned that the fish was unlucky, so they threw it into the river.

There are no more twists and turns along the way.

On the fourth day, the six arrived in Liangjing, Zhili Prefecture, Shannan Prefecture.

After getting off the boat, the six of them still rented a carriage and headed to Liangjing City.

Needless to say, the bustling and lively journey along the way, after inquiring about the location of the Gong Yuan, the three of them decided to find a nearby inn to stay.

However, after asking, I found out that the general inns were already full, and only the Yumanlou diagonally opposite the Gongyuan still had rooms.

Helpless, the six of them only got Yumanlou, and only after seeing the price on the counter did they know why there were still vacancies in Yumanlou.

expensive!
It is more than double that of a normal inn, how can ordinary scholars who come to take exams afford so much money.

But there are no rooms around, and I have to spend a lot of money to live here.

There were three students in front of Hu Qian and the six who were asking about the price, and one of them said: "You have booked all the nearby inns, and then raised the price by more than double. Isn't this making black-hearted money!"

"That's right, I have a classmate who came earlier, and they all live in the Town God's Temple ten miles away! It's extremely inconvenient to come and go! The exam will definitely be delayed!"

But the shopkeeper just bit the spout of the teapot and said: "I can't live with it! This is the price in this shop!"

The three argued hard, but the shopkeeper didn't take it seriously. After a while, the three shook their heads helplessly and left.

And in the hall on the first floor, many students dressed in splendid costumes were sitting like watching a play, chatting and laughing happily, very comfortable.

Although Hu Qian did not lack the money, he did not want to be taken advantage of.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from upstairs, "Young master Hu Qian is here, why doesn't shopkeeper Zhou entertain you well?"

After one sentence fell, the entire lobby suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked straight at Hu Qian.

"Hu Qian, is that Jinling Hu Qian?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"At this time, who else will impersonate him!"

"Look at how weak he is, if I defeat him now, can I be a son-in-law?"

"You are dreaming! How can it be so simple!"

Hu Qian looked up at the person.

Dressed in a purple robe, with two pieces of jade, one black and one white, around his waist, with a majestic face and a smile on his lips, he bowed his hands to everyone in the hall, and then walked down the stairs slowly.

Before he arrived, the shopkeeper Zhou behind the counter had already prepared a cup of tea and brought it out, and said respectfully, "Mr. Tian, ​​please use it."

Mr. Tian waved his hand, just looked at Hu Qian, squinted twice, shook his head and said, "Brother Bai said that Hu Qian was mediocre, but I didn't quite believe it. Seeing him now, tsk tsk..."

Seeing that Hu Jiu was still carrying his luggage, he said again: "What's the matter? You can't afford to live in a hotel if you are a dignified master. If you really can't afford it, you can give generously. It's just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Qian bowed and saluted suddenly: "Young master is benevolent and righteous, and I have nothing to repay you, so I have to silently chant scriptures for you and bless you to be the top student in high school."

After speaking, he turned to shopkeeper Zhou and said, "Thank you, three private rooms."

Shopkeeper Zhou stared blankly at Hu Qian, then at Mr. Tian, ​​and before he could speak, Hu Qian shouted: "Why, do you think what Mr. Tian said won't count? Can't you afford this little money! Blind your eyes! Don't underestimate people!"

Mr. Tian was so angry that his beard jumped. Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at him, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, how much is it?"

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't even need to use the abacus, and he said casually: "There are still 25 days between now and the end of the exam, and the three private rooms will be three, two or six every day, plus food, and you will be counted as 100 taels of silver.

Considering that there may be other expenses, you'd better bet 150 taels of silver on the cabinet. "

Mr. Tian's heart was bleeding, not because of the money, but because he couldn't swallow it.

Hu Qian let Xiaoer guide him upstairs, and shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Tian, ​​for your kindness.

Oh, by the way, who are you? "
