Chapter 3: Tracker

A boatman refers to a profession between a boat passenger and a boatman, which is somewhat similar to a matchmaker and an intermediary.

People who want to take the boat generally do not go to the boatman, but find operators to take the boat.

And the magnolia, who is graceful and beautiful in front of her, fully demonstrates the beauty of Chongqing women, is one of the boaters at this wharf.

But there were some accidents today.

"Because something happened, I can't drive the boat now. Can you bother you to take another boat?" Yulan said to dozens of passengers including Qin Shou in front of her.

When she heard her say this, it didn't matter, because they were not in a hurry, and it was not the case for the others.

"What are you talking about? I won't do it! What's the point of making a name for you? What happened? Do you say it (Sichuan dialect)?"

"Also, other boats that were going upstream along the Jialing River have already left, okay? I can't get back in a day!"

"We are catching up with the delivery, and there is nothing left after the deadline. Are you here to take responsibility?"

A group of people were very restless. Seeing this, Bai Rongrong smiled and came to Qin Shou and said, "Master, since we can't leave, let's stay in Chongqing for a few more days, so that I can learn more about Sichuan cuisine."

"Study? No matter how I look at it, I think it's because you are greedy. Do you want to eat here for a few more days?"

Qin Shou revealed Bai Rongrong's thoughts at a glance, then came to Magnolia and asked: "Miss Magnolia, why can't you drive a boat? Can you tell us the reason?"

"This...this is because..."

Then Magnolia told me the reason why she couldn't drive the boat. It turned out that the six boatmen in his family, that is, her brothers, could not move now.

Then, Qin Shou and others followed Magnolia to another place on the pier, but saw six boatmen lying on a boat.

Some of them hugged their heads, while others were lying on the boat weakly, looking very unscrupulous, and seemed to have some disease.

"Yeah?" Qin Shou was suspicious.

Bai Rongrong stepped forward a few steps, came to the six boatmen, and shouted: "I'll say, guys, hurry up and drive the boat, we're in a hurry. Hello, I heard what I said, can you pull the boat?"

stare!

Hearing Bai Rongrong's words, the boss lurked at the bow of the boat and stood up, stared at her, and said, "Then I ask you... Why does the Big Dipper light bright? Why does the Yangtze River flow, and why does the sun rise?"

"Uh, this, this... how do I know this!" Bai Rongrong was confused when asked.

However, the next sentence is even more inexplicable.

But when he saw the boss of the boatman, he said, "Master Bao...he is dead!"

"Stop talking about brother, Mr. Bao won't come back!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The six boatmen cried so hard that they could not extricate themselves, so this is the reason why they were unable to drive the boat. They were overly sad?

"Miss Magnolia, who is Mr. Bao they said?" Qin Shou asked curiously.

Yulan wiped the tears from her cheeks and then said, "Mr. Bao, he and my brother and sister are fellow townsmen and also a boatman. Like us, he came to Chongqing from the deep mountains of Hongya County.

He has been taking care of us regardless of public or private affairs. He not only cooks us with food, but also teaches us how to become an excellent boater, and it is also them that allow us brothers and sisters to live in Chongqing.

It is precisely because of Master Bao that we can pull the boat forward on the steep Jialing River, faster than other boats. This is all because Master Bao, but..."

Five days ago, Mr. Bao passed away due to illness, and everyone was heartbroken, but even so, the brothers still gritted their teeth and pulled the boat forward.

But without Master Bao, their strength seemed to be unable to be raised and they finally exhausted it.

The job of pulling a boat is so hard that the rope leaves blood on the rocks on the shore. Even a piece of cloth may become an obstacle to pulling a boat, so they half-lucked their bodies and beating their muscles all over their bodies to complete this difficult task.

"But now my brother and the others are so weak that they told everyone that they can't drive the boat."

Magnolia said here, holding her fists and apologizing to everyone again, saying, "I'll say hello to other boatmen and let everyone set off on their boat tomorrow. Please give your brothers some time to mourn."

After Magnolia explained the reason, most passengers were not the kind of unreasonable ones. After nothing urgent, they could only sigh and leave, waiting for the boat to resume tomorrow.

However, there are also some unreasonable people...

"What a joke? What does it have to do with us if the old man dies? This is your job, hurry up and drive the boat!"

"That's right, we are specialized in delivering goods, so don't think of using this reason to perfunctory us."
