Vol 5 Chapter 22: Little show of the old boatman

The Silent River winds around the entire silent forest. There are countless forks and branches, entering it, as if entering a huge maze of waterways. If there is no guide, no one knows where the ferry will go next moment.

Especially this forest also gave birth to various magical creatures.

There are ugly dryads, charming goblins, the well-known horned dragons, fire dragons, unicorns, fire phoenixes, basilisks, ghouls, etc., as well as the lesser-known ghosts, fish wives, roe deer, roe deer, and deer. Shu, Shusi, Gu Diao, etc. are countless. It can be said that almost all magical creatures with names and surnames in the wizarding world can be seen in this forest.

In a sense, Silent Forest is more like a biological laboratory opened by the First University.

As the main water source in the big forest, the Silent River has gathered a large number of magical creatures. Therefore, the danger during the journey is obvious, and the role of a good boatman and a good ferry boat here is self-evident.

Although the ferry boat is very small, there is a cave in it.

Hundreds of steps in the cabin, there are warm ovens, comfortable soft chairs, delicious snacks, and delicious drinks. Being in it is as if you are in a lively salon. In addition, there are two tall floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the cabin. Standing in the windows and looking out, the beautiful scenery on both sides of the quiet river is clear at a glance.

The river flows comfortably a step away, the lush forests on both sides of the bank firmly block the intrusion of the cold wind, and the water is calm like a mirror. Only mild sunlight can penetrate the conservative forest and send that mottled warmth into this dark world.

But for Zheng Qing, this comfort seems out of reach.

Elena stayed with her friends from the Gypsy Witch, and laughed, making him restless. He deliberately stepped forward, but was thin-skinned worried about being teased by those gypsy witches; pretending not to see, he was mocked by the doctor and the fat man.

In a dilemma, he simply got out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Compared with the ferry boat, the deck of the ferry boat is much wider, which can bear several people standing on it, and allows passengers to lie on the side of the boat and look out.

On the bamboo pole protruding from the bow, there is a golden copper bell swaying in the cold wind. The jingling bells expelled the approaching magical creatures, ensuring the safety of the ferry to a certain extent.

Old Bernard Shaw stood on the bow of the boat with a few bamboo baskets at his feet. In the bamboo basket are a few blue water buffaloes, palm-sized, resting on the bottom of the basket. Next to the water buffalo, there are a few small silvery-white fishes, inches long and short, with pointed heads and round tails, but they do not know what species they are.

The side of the ferry boat was very low, and over the dark and smooth boat gang, the young wizard dipped his hand into the cool river water, leisurely fiddled with the water, splashing ripples. Just like his mood at the moment, it is hard to calm down for a long time.

"Snapped!"

Penny went out over the water, with a trace of afterimage, lightly patted Zheng Qing's hand on the back of Zheng Qing, grinning his teeth, and subconsciously retracted his hand from the river.

"Don't reach into the water, be careful of your fingers being bitten off." Old Bernard Shaw glared at the young wizard in warning, as if he had noticed his nonchalant mentality. The old boatman smiled and picked the penny lightly from the fish basket. Pick out a small silvery-white fish and pick it up in the air from a distance.

The pointed fish tail lightly clicked on the surface of the water, and then the ripples swayed away, swaying far in this calm water.

Zheng Qing's eyes widened.

The old boatman stopped the wind chimes hanging on the bow and looked down at the wizard: "Don't look at the water so quiet...there are so many fierce beasts in the water!"

Before the words fell, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards the silver-white prey.

Old man Bernard Shaw shook his wrist, and the penny in his hand leaped upward, and the small silver fish hung on the top of the pole immediately flew out, following the tip of the pole to a higher place, causing the black one to jump out of the water. Shadow fluttered.

The black shadow shook its head and tail vigorously, and jumped three to five meters in the air, but finally lost to the effect of gravity, failed to bite the bait, and smashed back into the river heavily, throwing a big splash.

This splash of water smashed the tranquility of the river like a starting gun.

Large and small figures scrambled out of the water, vying for the silvery-white fish. These fierce beasts in the water are as small as ten centimeters, as large as the silver-white fish; the big ones are several meters long, almost the size of the ferry boat. All of them have terrifying faces, fangs and sharp teeth, looking very scary.

The passengers in the cabin noticed the movement outside, and when they left the cabin to check, they happened to see a spectacular sight of various aquatic creatures crackling and falling into the water like dumplings. The witches screamed in shock, and the wizards were also amazed.

Zheng Qing glanced at the familiar shadow of the person who had exited the cabin, and immediately closed the open mouth that had just been frightened, and at the same time raised his arms, with a nonchalant expression on his face, staring at the restless water surface unconsciously.

"What happened just now?" Irina's curious voice rang in Zheng Qing's ears.

The young government-sponsored student turned his head as he wished, and explained the situation briefly and concisely in a plain tone—the corner of his eye noticed that Fatty Xin seemed to be closer to him, but Xiao Xiao dragged him back. .

This made the wizard extremely satisfied, and made up his mind to ask the doctor to eat a chicken leg after disembarking.

A half-foot long, with its head occupying half of its body, the strange fish with its mouth and teeth fell from the air and did not grasp its direction. It fell on the deck of the ferry with a sound, just not far in front of Elena. .

The witch gave a soft cry and took a step back subconsciously. Zheng Qing couldn't take out the book, took a kick, kicked the strange fish back into the river, then calmed down and looked at Irina: "It's okay!"

The gypsy witch pressed her chest, as if in a panic, did not speak, but shook her head slightly.

There was a rough reminder from Bernard Shaw:

"This is just an inch of silver bait, and I didn't hook any big guys." The old boatman tapped the ship's rails, making a crackling noise, and frightened: "If you rash little guys fall into the water, I will If it’s too late to poke you with a stick, you won’t even have any bones left... Those gluttonous little wizards in the water who like fine skin and tender meat the most."

Zheng Qingxin looked at the water with lingering fears~www.ltnovel.com~, recalling the huge mouth and sharp teeth of the fish on the deck just now, and he was deeply impressed by the old boatman's words.

"You do this, it doesn't comply with the ferry operation regulations." On the ship's hatch, Dr. Xiao spoke out to question the old boatman's actions just now.

Old Bernard Shaw tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao.

"I thought you would like this kind of little show." The old man blinked, hooked his foot, and kicked the bamboo pole diagonally inserted in the bow. The golden-yellow copper bell hanging on the top of the pole swayed, and a jingle bell rang on the water.

The hunters who got out of the water panicked, dived into the water, and disappeared in no time.

Silent River became silent again.
