Chapter 159 Crossing Mountains and Crossing Rivers (seeking Subscription for Monthly Pass)
Fang Youwei took a closer look, only to realize that there was a snake there!This snake is actually the same as that tree bark!
Fang Youwei was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and quickly recited the snake repelling formula aloud.

After he finished reciting a section of the snake repelling formula, he saw something moving around him, and there was a rustling sound.

Many of those places that look like dead branches and rotten leaves are actually venomous snakes in disguise! !

Fang Youwei broke into a cold sweat from the fright of this scene, he did not expect these snakes to be so good at camouflage.If it wasn't for reciting the snake driving formula to drive them away, the naked eye would not be able to see them at all.

When someone walked by, they rushed out to attack, it was impossible to guard against.

I can't complain that there are no roads on this mountain. Everyone would rather go around the plain on the other side of the mountain in a big circle, and dare not climb the mountain. Presumably everyone knows that there are many poisonous snakes in this mountain.

However, it is precisely because of these poisonous snakes that this place has become a barrier for Nanyue County City.

If you want to bypass Nanyue City through this mountain, it is really close to death.

It took Fang Youwei two days and one night to climb that mountain, and he didn't dare to rest on the way.

When climbing the mountain, the snake repelling mantra never stopped. He and Xiaoling recited it alternately, he recited it for an hour and Xiaoling recited it for an hour.

Drink the water in the bamboo tube when you are thirsty, and eat the dry food in your bag when you are hungry.

Fortunately, several bamboo tubes were filled with water before entering the mountain, otherwise, they would not dare to drink the water on the mountain, fearing that the pool would also be a place where poisonous snakes inhabit.

After climbing over the mountain and reaching the flat ground, both Fang Youwei and Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days and one night, I didn't dare to rest, I was on the road all the time, my nerves were tense, I never felt so tired, I almost couldn't keep my eyes open.

The first thing I did when I arrived at the plain was to go to a nearby village and find a family with a lot of houses to stay overnight.

Fang Youwei put Xiao Ling in the bag on his shoulder ahead of time, but fortunately Xiao Ling was small, so he couldn't see it when he hid it in the bag pocket.

After negotiating the price of staying overnight with the farmer, I didn't eat lunch, so I fell asleep all at once, and slept for half a day and one night before I fully recovered my spirit.

When I was having breakfast the next day, I asked the owner of the farm about the situation.

Knowing that this river is called the Cangyun River, its source is on the other side of Fengcheng, and it can lead to Xiangyun County down the river, and after Xiangyun County and then south is the South China Sea.

On the opposite side of the Cangyun River, there are two counties belonging to Nanyue County. The one to the north is Cangyun County named after the river, and the one to the south is called Changyuan County.

The village on this side of the river belongs to Changyuan County.

But unless necessary, people from them rarely go to the county seat.

Their town is also on the river side, so it's quite convenient for shopping.Only those who apply for household registration and land deeds will go to the county seat.

This is because if you want to cross the river, you need money, and the fee is not cheap. It costs ten yuan per person, and as much as twenty yuan for a trip, which is beyond the reach of ordinary villagers.

The Cangyun River is very wide. Although the current is not too fast, ordinary small wooden boats are not easy to cross.

Therefore, there are special government wharves and large ships on the shore, and there is a ferry to and from the city every day.

The time here is Chenshi every day. If you can't catch up, you can only wait for the next day.

It takes an hour and a half to ferry from one side of the river to the other, and it will take longer if there is a headwind.

As the boat came and went, almost a day passed.

Fang Youwei looked at the sky, he couldn't leave today, he woke up at the end of the day, so he decided to stay at the farm for one more night.

Xiao Ling went out while it was dark, and came back after eating in the mountains.

The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Youwei left money for the farmer to stay overnight, and Fang Youwei went to the pier.

The so-called wharf is a section of wooden platform extended into the water for boarding the boat, and there is a thatched shed beside it with a table inside, where someone is responsible for collecting the boat fare.

When Fang Youwei came over, it was in the middle of the day, and there were already twenty or thirty people waiting to board the boat.

After waiting for a while to see that no one was coming, I arranged for everyone to board the boat.

Although it is said that the ship departs at Chenshi, there is an hour between the beginning of Chenshi and the end of Chenshi.They will try their best to wait until the boat is almost full before setting off.

Everyone stepped on the wooden board between the wooden platform and the big boat. This boat is very big, with two floors of cabins.

They were arranged to sit on the first floor, and the second floor should be specially set up for dignitaries who don't want to sit with ordinary people.

Because obviously the second floor is more luxuriously decorated than the first floor, and the upper windows have gauze curtains to block people's peeping eyes.

This is Fang Youwei's first time on a boat, and it's a big boat like this.

I scanned it curiously, and found that the cabin is very spacious, and it is no problem to seat four or fifty people.

The windows on both sides are open for ventilation and to enjoy the scenery on the river.

The surface of the river seems to be very peaceful and slow. From one side of the river to the other side, one can only vaguely see the continuous mountains.

If it weren't for those mountains, it would feel as if the end of the river could not be seen.

When the boat moved, occasionally some big fish swam by the side of the boat, and the fish was as long as half a person. For some reason, no one in this riverside was fishing for a living.

When the boat started to move slowly, Fang Youwei was startled when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting from under his feet.

Listening to other people's chats, he realized that the boat had not two floors, but three floors.There is another floor below where the boatmen paddle.

As the uniform chant became more and more urgent, the boat also slowly accelerated faster and faster.

Today was very lucky, there was a favorable wind, and the boatmen raised the sails on the mast, and it took more than an hour to arrive with the smooth wind and the water.

When he was about to dock, Fang Youwei saw many fishing boats fishing by the river.

Looking back at the direction he came from just now, Fang Youwei thought he might know the reason.

It should be that there is only one town over there with few people, so even if you catch fish, you have to come to the river to sell it.

And the money from selling fish may not be enough to pay for the boat ride, so there is no one there who specializes in fishing for a living.

It's different here, the county town, the official roads are all here, and there are traders who specialize in collecting fish.

Looking at the densely packed fishing boats by the river, one can tell that most people here rely on fishing for a living. As expected, they rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water.

As soon as the boat docked, Fang Youwei got off the boat with everyone.

I asked someone casually and found out that Cangyun County is relatively close to the pier.

When they came over, they didn't walk in a straight line, but went slightly obliquely to the north.So the wharf that came over before belongs to Changyuan County, but this side belongs to Cangyun County.

Fang Youwei headed north all the way in the direction he found out, and it took about half a day to reach Cangyun County.
