Chapter 705: Disembarking in Shanghai Soon
after, Shang Jiuge boarded a merchant ship going down the river.
The merchant ship went all the way down the Grand Canal, then turned into the Yangtze River and went downstream. After finally going out to sea, the vast sea was in front of it.
All this was a very novel experience for Shang Jiuge. She saw a different scenery on the boat than last time. When she was bored, the girl would sit alone in the stern of the boat and watch the rapid water, but this time , no one bothered her anymore.
The reason is actually very simple.
That is Shang Jiuge wearing a sword at his waist this time.
After all, compared to a girl holding a fire stick, a girl with a sword at her waist is obviously more intimidating.
When the boat leaves the Yangtze River estuary, it is Shanghai.
Shang Jiuge has actually seen the sea, even though the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River is not pretty. From a distance, it looks like a dim, yellowed area.
But when the boat sails further out, you can see very clear blue water. This endless blue can sometimes make people feel emotional.
No one talked to Shang Jiuge along the way, and Shang Jiuge was not interested in making any new friends.
After all, what she wanted to do was really simple, which was to come to Japan and find Japanese people who could speak Chinese dialect. Let him take him to Owari Country and find Fangbie.
You see, it’s such a simple process, even if you don’t have a brain, you should be able to remember it.
If you really want to ask what unforgettable scenery is on the sea, then it must be the sunrise and sunset on the sea.
Shang Jiuge grew up in Huashan. The sunrise on Huashan is already more brilliant and magnificent than the sunrises usually seen on the plains. The huge fireball rising from the top of the distant mountain illuminates the entire place in an instant. Even though Shang Jiuge often saw the scenes of heaven and earth, he could never see enough of them.
After all, you have to be at the top of Huashan Mountain to see the best sunrise.
On the sea, it is a different scenery.
There should be nothing bigger and flatter than the sea in this world. Merchant ships floated on this endless sea. The girl felt more lonely than before, and in this loneliness, she preferred to watch the rising and setting sun.
On the sea, the sun rose seventeen times.
Fallen sixteen times.
The daily food is rice and pickles, and of course fish prepared in various ways.
Shang Jiuge saw many people fishing beside the boat, and some invited her to fish together.
Fishing is probably the best pastime on the boat, but Shang Jiuge feels that there is no need to go fishing.
In other words, fishing is too simple.
Of course, the girl kept these words in her heart instead of saying them out loud. Only once did she look at the sea so enchantedly that she did not give up her seat to a fishing boat passenger, which made him furious.
Facing the angry boat passenger, Shang Jiuge told him honestly not to fish here, there are no fish here.
The other party's serious advice to this yellow-haired girl will only make her more angry.
He claims that he has been fishing at sea for ten years. How can he not understand where there are no fish?
Faced with the opponent's arrogance, Shang Jiuge could only make room for him, and then watched him put on the fishing rod and start fishing.
There is no doubt that the other party fished for an entire hour, but no fish took the bait.
He couldn't help but become furious. He originally planned to use two fat and big sea fish to stop Shang Jiuge's mouth, but he never expected that he was the one who made the joke.
Shang Jiuge closed his mouth and said nothing.
She would not tell the other party that the reason there were no fish here was because her breath scared away the fish.
When the other party saw Shang Jiuge's expression, he immediately concluded that this hateful girl was responsible.
In short, some unnecessary things happened in the end, and Shang Jiuge didn't bother to think about it or pay attention to it.
But the final result is that Shang Jiuge also wants to catch a fish for him - proving that the girl only has good eyesight and excellent fishing skills, and is not just playing tricks.
To this end, a small fishing competition was held on the ship, and a private handicap was even held.
The person who can catch the biggest and most fish will of course win the final victory.
Shang Jiuge's odds are undoubtedly the lowest.
In fact, it was the same throughout the game.
Time is like a stick of incense, and the location is on the port side of the ship. Several fishing rods are hanging out. In order not to embarrass others, Shang Jiuge deliberately restrained his aura, but what is strange is that the people around him Fish always came to bite the bait, but not my own.
At first Shang Jiuge suspected that it was his problem, and then after observing for a while, he determined that it was the bait.
Yes - because Shang Jiuge didn't prepare any bait at all.
Girls never need bait when fishing, so there is no need to prepare bait. Digging for earthworms and the like is too troublesome.
So he watched the fish baskets of people around him slowly filling up, and many people began to say weird things and laugh at him, but Shang Jiuge didn't panic at all.
Just when the stick of incense was about to burn out, Shang Jiuge suddenly stood up.
She looked back at the host of the merchant ship and asked: "Does it count as long as you catch the fish?" The host
of the merchant ship was a little confused by this confident girl's question, but he still nodded: "For fishing, of course, as long as you catch the fish, it counts?" Whatever I catch counts."
"Even if there is no bait on my hook?" Shang Jiuge asked.
Saying this, she showed her fishing hook to the other party.
It was then that everyone realized that this girl, who looked the most confident, actually had no bait on her hook - it was not their fault, after all, no one thought that someone else would make such a low-level mistake here.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The host of the merchant ship held back laughter: "When Jiang Taigong fishes, anyone who wishes will take the bait. Jiang Taigong can catch fish with a straight hook, not to mention the girl using a hook without bait." "In this case, I am relieved." Shang
. Jiuge nodded and said happily.
Before the end of the game, there was only the last short section of the incense left.
Then Shang Jiuge dropped his fishing rod.
The fishhook was thrown out with the fishing line, leaving a silver trail in the air, then fell and sank into the water.
At this time, Shang Jiuge has attracted everyone's attention, and many people want to see her jokes.
But the moment Shang Jiuge dropped the fishhook, he suddenly lifted the rod.
At that moment, the originally straight fishing rod was pulled into a bow shape.
full moon.
Just when everyone was worried that the fishing rod would break, they saw a huge tuna being lifted out of the water by the girl, drawing an arc in the air, and then falling heavily to the deck.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Shang Jiuge turned around, stepped forward, knocked out the three- to four-foot-long tuna that was trying to flop, and then removed his hook.
The hook is certainly not in the fish's mouth.
After all, no fish would be stupid enough to chew on a hook that is just metal.
But the hook was hung on the back of the tuna.
Obviously, Shang Jiuge used a violent method of directly dropping the hook to hook the fish, and then directly lifting it up.
Fishing has been governed by laws since ancient times, but this violent fishing method shocked everyone instantly.
Shang Jiuge continued to step forward, checked the hook and line, then changed a new hook and dropped it again...
Soon, this fishing competition lost any suspense. In fact, Shang Jiuge The weight and size of the tuna that Jiuge only caught surpassed everyone else. In fact, Shang Jiuge swung the rod three times in total, so he caught three fish of similar size.
These three fish were too big to be put into the fish basket, and Shang Jiuge went up and knocked them unconscious.
The girl has confirmed before that as long as the fish is caught, there is no problem in any other way, so no one can raise any doubts about Shang Jiuge.
"There is no doubt that the winner this time is the girl." The organizer of the merchant ship said with lingering fear as he looked at the three fish on the ship - because anyone with a little common sense can see that Shang Jiuge caught these three fish with the help of What he excels in is not his fishing skills, but his martial arts skills that are unparalleled in the world.
With such skills, let alone these three fish, Shang Jiuge could really hook people one by one when he swung the fishing rod.
If you imagine Shang Jiuge throwing a man fishing with a fishing rod out of a semicircle, it would be a bit too picturesque.
"As a reward, the girl will win three jars of fine wine and these three fish. What is the girl going to do with them?" the organizer asked.
"How to deal with what?" Shang Jiuge looked at him and asked.
"This." The organizer carefully considered his words: "If these three fish are sent to Japan, even though Japan is rich in fish, such high-quality big fish can only be enjoyed by the most noble samurai names. , if we can get it to the big cities in Japan, such as Kyoto and Osaka, I'm afraid one fish can be sold for ten taels of silver..." "
No." Shang Jiuge didn't wait for the organizer to finish speaking, and immediately vetoed: "I don't want it. So troublesome, since this fish is so expensive, it must be delicious."
Shang Jiuge asked.
"It can be said to be a treasure in the sea." The organizer nodded.
"Is there anyone on board who knows how to do it?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.
At this time, everyone realized what the girl was going to do. In an instant, someone in the crowd shouted: "I can do it." "I can
do it too."
"I've always been good at it."
When it comes to eating, everyone must be very enthusiastic. .
"I haven't eaten anything delicious recently, so I cooked these three fish on the boat. I can't finish them by myself. The whole boat is almost enough?" Shang Jiuge looked at the organizer and said seriously: "Of course, if it's not enough, I can catch some more. By the way, as for the three jars of wine, I don't drink much, so I just share it with everyone." The girl looked at the other party with a hint of inquiry:
" Is that okay?"
The other party was almost stunned by the girl's frankness and straightforwardness: "Are you serious?"
"Didn't I just say that these three fish cost almost thirty taels of silver to be delivered to Kyoto and Osaka, China? Our wine is also very popular compared to Japan's sake. A jar can be sold for three taels. Are you sure you want to share it with everyone?" the other party asked incredulously.
"Isn't it possible?" Shang Jiuge asked.
"Okay, okay!" The organizer had probably determined that Shang Jiuge really thought this way, so he could only reply: "Of course, as long as the girl is happy, everything is for the best." With that said, the organizer looked
at Shang Jiuge asked: "But does the girl have any other requests?"
"A request?" Shang Jiuge touched his nose lightly and thought about it seriously: "After the fish is cooked, can I taste it first? "
...
This
is probably the most noteworthy thing that Shang Jiuge experienced on the boat. In short, after this incident, the girl became a saint on the boat.
After all, a scary girl who can give food and drinks is so powerful, what else is she if she is not a saint?
It's a pity that we didn't encounter any pirates or anything like that for Shang Jiuge to show off his talents. In the end, the merchant ship successfully arrived at its final destination, Osaka, one of the most important commercial ports in Japan.
After Shang Jiuge was sure that the ship owner would not go to Owari Country, he said goodbye to the ship owner and then disembarked alone with his sword.
Everyone watched the girl in white leave.
They looked at each other speechlessly.
"Actually, I've been on the boat for so long and I haven't even asked her what her name is." Someone said.
"That's because she hasn't spoken to many people. Usually when I see her, I just see her looking at the sea. What's so interesting about the sea, but she is carrying a sword, so she doesn't feel easy to bully." "Even
if I knew it was hard to bully, but I didn’t expect that she was that strong. If we knew how to fish like her, we might be able to make a fortune just fishing on the sea." "Look at your worthless look. How can someone with such handsome skills have such a good fortune
? I will only think about fishing, fishing, fishing, catching you big-headed ghost."
"What would you do if it were you?" Then someone asked.
"Then at least you don't want to be a flower picker, and go and meet the beautiful ladies in the big city..."
In an instant, there was a roar of laughter on the boat.
Sailors who are used to traveling on ships never care much about parting.
But suddenly someone remembered something.
"Did this girl still carry a sword when she left?"
"Yes." Someone nodded and confirmed.
"Do you still remember? In Japan, only samurai can carry swords on the street, and there is no doubt that this girl is definitely not a samurai." At
this moment, everyone remembered.
"Do you want to catch up and remind her?" someone asked.
But when this topic was mentioned, everyone immediately remembered Shang Jiuge's heroic appearance on the boat raising the fishing rod.
"I think."
"Probably no need."
Someone said.
"More than that, I'm really looking forward to what will happen next."
"No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with us, right? Just like that girl is so beautiful, but you see, all of you have evil intentions and no courage to hook up with her, right? Is that so?"
"No, it's mainly because her sword is too scary." Someone said clearly.
…
…
Shang Jiuge, on the other hand, was completely undecided about all this. Everything in front of her was so fresh. She never thought that she would go to a completely strange country, even if she couldn't understand their own language.
At this moment, someone suddenly stopped in front of her.
"Woman, why do you dare to carry a knife?" The person in front of me said in Japanese.
"Ah?" Shang Jiuge groaned.
I wonder what else you can say about the birds.
