Chapter 552: Chapter 551 Homemade Wine

Su Yang suddenly stood up, causing astonishment among those present. Even Wang Feng was slightly taken aback and pulled on Su Yang, whispering low, "Mr. Su, that awning boat isn’t safe. With so many large boats, squeezing in the middle is too dangerous..."

"No matter!" Su Yang waved his hand dismissively, "It’s just a river, how dangerous could it be?"

Wang Feng quickly said, "The Wan Chuan River gets deeper inside, more than ten meters deep, and the surface is also very wide. Moreover, every year during the fish migration, the currents are especially fierce, and capsizing happens easily. If the large boats are dangerous, let alone this small one!"

"It’s fine!" Su Yang waved his hand again, ignoring Wang Feng’s objections and went straight down to the boy’s awning boat.

Wang Feng, with a helpless look on his face, followed suit in the end, gritting his teeth. He knew it was dangerous, but after all, it was a task assigned by Eight-Faced Yama, and he would go through fire and water if necessary.

The little boy, seeing Su Yang, was overjoyed, "Big brother, uncle, you’re here too."

Su Yang patted the boy’s head, chuckling, "We meet again!"

"Yes!" the boy quickly said, "Today, if you take the boat, I won’t charge you. I will surely show you even better scenery!"

"I believe you, but the money we owe you, we still want to give," Su Yang said with a light smile, sitting in the back.

Wang Feng didn’t say anything else; actually, he felt very sorry for the little boy in his heart.

Laughter still surrounded them, especially the owner of the boat Su Yang was on before, who at this moment could be said to be furious with embarrassment.

After all, Su Yang and his company were originally on his boat, and their sudden departure was like a slap in the face to him.

"Hey, are you really prepared to go off and die?" the owner stood at the edge of the boat and shouted angrily, "This time the returning fish are much more numerous than before, experts have said the currents will far surpass previous years. Taking this small boat is like seeking death, you know that?"

Su Yang glanced at him, "Thanks for your concern, we know what we’re doing."

"Know what you’re doing? I think you just want to save some money on boat fares!" the owner scoffed, "Damn, if you have no money then just roll back home and sleep, what are you doing taking a boat."

"How can you talk like that!" Wang Feng was a bit infuriated; changing boats was one thing, being ridiculed like this was something else entirely.

"That’s just how I talk, what about it!" the owner retorted angrily, "I’m telling you, whether you ride my boat or not, the deposit you paid isn’t refundable."

"We didn’t ask for a refund!" Wang Feng said sternly, "You’re really overstepping in how you speak!"

The owner gave Wang Feng a look, muttered a few words to himself but said nothing more. He could tell by Wang Feng’s accent that he was from Zifeng City. He could bully Su Yang, a stranger, but with a local, he really didn’t dare to push it too far.

The little boy stood by, his face flushed with embarrassment, "Big brother, uncle, I’m sorry... Or... Or maybe you should go back to that boat. The deposit you paid... it shouldn’t be wasted..."

"It’s nothing!" Su Yang said with a light smile, "The big boat is too full of mechanical smells, I’m not accustomed to it. This small awning boat is better. By the way, do you have any wine?"

"Yes, yes!" the little boy brightened up, quickly running inside and bringing out a gourd.

"This is wine my uncle brewed himself, it tastes very good, you should try it."

"Good, at least I can drink some homemade wine now," Su Yang said, taking the gourd and pouring himself a drink. The coldness bit into his bones and shot up to his head, making Su Yang involuntarily take a deep breath.

"This wine..." Su Yang said in surprise.

"This wine is made with water from near the River God Cave of the Wan Chuan River, so it’s particularly cold. But once you drink it, your body will quickly warm up," the little boy said with a smile, explaining, "And if you drink it regularly, it can strengthen the body, refresh the mind and wake the brain. The effects are really good!"

Su Yang was recalling what his former captain Old Lin had told him about his hometown and that kind of alcohol when he was describing it.

At that time, Old Lin had said that drinking this type of liquor brought about exactly this feeling.

Su Yang never expected to taste this kind of alcohol on such a small awning boat.

"Is this wine personally brewed by your uncle?" Su Yang asked.

"Yes!" the little boy nodded, "How is it? Are you getting used to it?"

"The taste is really good!" Su Yang said with a smile.

The little boy also smiled immediately.

"By the way, where is your family from?" Su Yang casually inquired. The boy’s uncle could brew this alcohol; could he possibly be a fellow townsman with Old Lin?

However, Su Yang could tell that the little boy was very wary of people. Su Yang didn’t know why he was like this, but he didn’t dare to ask directly.

In fact, normally Su Yang could have used the Soul Searching Technique to find out. But he couldn’t see through the little boy’s situation. This child must be a gift from heaven as well.

The boy hesitated noticeably before saying, "My home is in Fang Yun Town."

Su Yang looked to Wang Feng, who said, "That’s in Yangchuan City, aren’t you from Zifeng City?"

"No," the little boy shook his head.

Su Yang immediately looked disheartened; he thought he might be able to learn about Old Lin from the little boy. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this way; the boy was not from Zifeng City, so it seemed there was no connection to Old Lin.

"Then how did you end up in Zifeng City?" Wang Feng asked curiously. "And, where is your family? How come you are working all alone..."

The little boy’s expression darkened, and he said in a soft voice, "My family is no longer around, I... I’m on my own now..."

Wang Feng felt a pang of emotion; such a young child had to fend for himself. The heavy burden of the adult world had fallen on him much too early.

At that moment, shouts came from afar, and the pleasure boat officially began its journey.

The little boy instantly perked up and said to Su Yang, "Big brother, uncle, take your seats. I’ll take you to see the migrating fish."

Wang Feng immediately sat down, holding tightly to the side of the boat. Su Yang, on the other hand, was calm. How much could these waves really affect him?

All the larger boats had set out, but the little boy was in no rush. Only after everyone else had left did he take up the oar and started to propel the awning boat on a reassuring course.

"Where are you heading?" Wang Feng asked in surprise. "The migrating fish are upstream, where are you taking us?"

"This is a shortcut," said the little boy with a smile.

The boy rowed the awning boat, slowly arriving near a reed thicket. The reed thicket was extensive and visibility was poor.

The larger boats certainly wouldn’t come close to this place. The boy maneuvered the boat through the reeds, weaving left and right. After about fifteen minutes, they finally left the range of the reed thicket and entered a spacious river channel.

"Here we are!" the little boy said with a laugh. "We’ve arrived early; I’ll find us the best spot to watch from!"
