Liu Ji and his son didn't have anything to do with the boat. This boat was the Liu Family's own boat. It wasn't just used to transport herbs, it was also used to travel the Wu Ling River all year round.
Liu Ji stood on the boat with a boatman beside him. This boatman was actually the captain of the boat. He was also a servant of the Liu Family. However, his status wasn't as high as Liu Ji's. Liu Ji was the son of an exiled servant. Moreover, he was also a shopkeeper. In the Liu Family, he was a second-class servant while the captain was a third-class servant.
However, it was clear that Liu Ji was very familiar with the captain. He looked at the captain and smiled, "Little Fish, I didn't expect that you wouldn't fall into the river and turn into a fish spirit. Looking at your small body, I hope that you won't become a cripple after running for a few more years." Liu Ji smiled and said, "Little Fish, you didn't fall into the river and turn into a fish spirit.
The person standing beside Liu Ji was a 30-year-old man with dark skin and messy hair. Perhaps because he traveled the river all year round, his skin was very dark. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, his upper body was bare, and his feet were bare. However, he gave off a very sturdy feeling.
This person also had a smile on his face. But for some reason, when Little Crane Grass saw this person's smile, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
When the person Liu Ji called Yu 'er heard Liu Ji's words, he smiled and said, "Fatty Liu, don't be so pretentious. Don't look at how fat you are. If you really count, your body isn't as good as mine."
Liu Ji laughed and said, "Little Fishy, don't just listen to the good things. If you were to sit in my position, you wouldn't necessarily be able to sit there."
Little Fishy chuckled and said, "I don't want to sit in your position. I like to sail the boat. It's great to be on this boat every day. When I have nothing to do, I can sing a few songs with my brothers and drink a few sips of wine. As long as the boat doesn't have any accidents, it's like a celestial life. Who would want to sit in your position? Oh right, why do you have two children today? I heard that you have children again? How come? Did you secretly give birth to two children in the past few years in Green City? "
"F * ck you. If I want to give birth, I'll give birth openly. Do I need to live in secret? They are Brother Tian Niu's son, daughter, and nephew. Two years ago, when Supervisor Gate was in Green City, he was very close to these two kids. Now that Supervisor Gate has returned to his home, he always misses these two kids. Brother Tian Niu asked these two kids to visit Supervisor Gate. You have to take good care of them, otherwise, Supervisor Gate will scold you. "
Little Fishy obviously knew what kind of person the Chief Steward of the Gate was. Although the Chief Steward of the Gate was only a Chief Steward of the Outer Sect, the power in his hands was not small. In the Liu Family, he was one of the few first-class servants with a very high status.
Little Fishy nodded and said, "Since they're going to be the Chief Steward of the Gate, then I'll naturally take good care of them. Fatty Liu, I think this kid of yours is pretty good. After two years of experience, he'll become an expert in the future."
Liu Ji smiled faintly and said, "Him? He's still far from that. Don't look at how strong he is right now. He still has a lot to learn. Alright, let's not talk about him. Let's go. We brothers haven't seen each other for a while. How about we go and have a drink?"
Little Fishy laughed and said, "That's good. I've already prepared for it. Last night, I went to the river and caught a big fish. It's just in time to have a drink with you."
Liu Ji laughed and said, "Brother, you really think of me. You also know that I like to drink fish soup. Let's go, let's go and have a drink." Then the two walked towards the cabin.
Little Fishy looked at Liu Shun and said, "Shun, come with us. You've already learned from your father. How can you not drink?" Liu Shun didn't dare to move.
Liu Shun didn't dare to move, he just turned his head to Liu Ji. Liu Ji nodded and said, "Come with me. Bring Bao 'er and Yu' er. Since they came out of the grass, they probably haven't eaten anything. Let them drink some fish soup." Liu Shun nodded and then went to the cabin to look for the little crane grass and Yu 'er.
Little Fishy looked at Liu Ji with some confusion and said, "Fatty Liu, what are you doing? If we want to drink, we should drink quickly. Why did you ask someone to bring those two children here? What a disappointment. "
Liu Ji chuckled and said, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. I really like these two children. Especially Little Crane Grass. That child is really smart. In my opinion, that child's future achievements will definitely surpass that of our family's kid."
Little Fishy rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? That brat is a Soul Plant Practitioner. Although it's just a Grass Soul Object, if he learns it well, he can also become an Alchemist. People like you and I have to salute him when we see him."
Liu Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the difference in soul objects. You should know that it's not easy for a plant soul to become outstanding. However, Little Crane Grass is truly extraordinary. He's very calm and intelligent at such a young age. To be honest, if such a child can't become a talent in the future, then there's no justice in the world." Liu Ji nodded and said, "You're right.
Little Fishy laughed and said, "Brother Liu, you're too much. In the Liu Residence, if there's a lack of young geniuses, then they'll become nothing after they grow up. Haven't you and I seen enough? How can you be sure that this child will be able to achieve great things? "
Liu Ji looked at Little Fishy's appearance and smiled faintly, "Brother, you'll know when you see that child." Then he didn't say anything else and followed Little Fishy into the cabin.
For a cargo ship like this, the living space in the cabin wasn't very big. However, there was still some space in the cargo hold. Although there was some medicinal smell, it didn't affect people's eating. At this moment, there was a small table with several side dishes on it. In the middle of the table, there was a big fish. This big fish probably weighed five or six pounds. It was very conspicuous on the table.
Little Fishy invited Liu Ji to sit down. Then she took out a jar of wine and said to Liu Ji, "Fatty Liu, come and taste the wine on my ship. Let's see how it tastes."
Liu Ji laughed and said, "Little Fishy, don't be greedy. Who doesn't know that the wine on your ship is all good stuff. It was specially prepared for you by the family. Without this wine, how can your small body withstand the wind and waves of the river?" Liu Ji wasn't wrong. The Liu Family took care of Little Fishy and the other shipwrights. The wine given to them was a special medicinal wine. Drinking it had the effect of dispersing wind and cold. Otherwise, it would be very easy for people who were always on the ship to get rheumatism.
Little Fishy laughed and said, "It's good that you know. Now you're envious, right? What's the point of being a shopkeeper? You're always fighting for money every day. Compared to us, you're really lacking."
Liu Ji laughed and didn't refute. Little Fishy wasn't born to do business. He just liked to be on the ship. His father was a shipwright for his entire life. Not long after Little Fishy was born, his father brought him to the ship. It was impossible for him to leave the ship for the rest of his life.
Liu Ji looked at the sky and said, "Brother, it's not that I want to nag you, but it looks like we'll be going to the Devil Beach tonight. Don't drink too much and mess things up. If the family blames you, then it'll be my fault."
Little Fishy smiled and said, "Brother, you can rest assured and drink. I know that the Devil Beach hasn't been very peaceful recently. But it doesn't matter. With this brother here, I can guarantee that the journey will be safe."
While speaking, Liu Shun led Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er into the cabin. Once Little Crane Grass and Little Yu' er entered the cabin, they immediately bowed to Liu Ji and said, "Greetings, Uncle Liu."
Liu Ji laughed and said, "Bao 'er, Yu' er, come and greet your Uncle Liu Yu. This is the fish that your Uncle Liu Yu caught for you."
Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er turned around and bowed to Liu Yu together, "Greetings, Uncle Liu Yu. Thank you, Uncle Liu Yu."
Liu Yu had been observing Little Crane Grass the whole time. He wanted to see what kind of child he was to be praised by Liu Ji like he was rare in the heavens. Now that he saw Little Crane Grass's appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but secretly nod his head. His salutation was well-behaved, and his eyes were calm. He had a mature aura that didn't match his age. It was really rare.
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Come and drink some fish soup." The two nodded and then sat at the table with Liu Shun. Liu Shun gave each of them a bowl of fish soup. This fish soup was stewed with the river's water. As the saying goes, the original soup melts the original food. Stewing fish with river water has a different taste.
Although Liu Yu and the others were walking on the river, they might think that the river water was dirty. In fact, it was the opposite. They liked the river water very much. They thought that the river water was the cleanest water.
Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er each drank a bowl of fresh soup. They felt that this fish soup was much better than the fish soup made by their family. Little Yu' er quickly finished a bowl and asked Liu Shun to serve her another bowl. However, it was Little Crane Grass. She drank this bowl of fish soup very slowly and didn't get another bowl after finishing it.
Liu Yu, who had been observing Little Crane Grass, looked at him in confusion and said, "You're called Crane Grass, right? Crane Grass? Is this fish soup not good? Why aren't you drinking anymore? "
Little Crane Grass shook his head and said, "It's good. This fish soup is very good. However, this nephew has already eaten. I'm not hungry, so I don't want to eat too much. Uncle Liu Yu, please forgive me."
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Alright, if you don't want to drink too much, then you can go play by yourself."
Little Crane Grass shook his head and said, "I want to stay here with Little Sister Yu 'er. Little Sister Yu' er is still young. If I leave her here alone, she'll be scared."
When Liu Yu heard Little Crane Grass, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he nodded and said, "You're so young, but you already know how to take care of your sister. You're really a good child. Crane Grass, how old are you today? Did you go to school? "
Little Crane Grass respectfully said, "This nephew is about to turn seven. I went to school when I was five. Half a year ago, I graduated and returned home. I'm preparing to study medicine from Emerald City's Medicine Master."
Liu Yu nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Then what did you learn in school? Can you tell Uncle about it? " Although Liu Yu looked like a rough man who only knew how to run boats, he spoke in a cultured manner. It was clear that he also went to school. Now that he asked Little Crane Grass about this, it was clear that he was deliberately testing Little Crane Grass.
When Liu Ji saw Liu Yu testing Little Crane Grass, a strange smile appeared on his face. He was very clear about Little Crane Grass's talent. This time, Liu Yu really kicked an iron plate.
