Chapter 237 Morning Mist on the Jialing River
"Mr. Gu, you really can think of going fishing and eating hotpot in such a cold day!"
Gu Wenxuan was afraid that Miss Jiang would get angry, so he quickly said to her, "Hurry up, there's no need to talk so much. I'm entertaining this honored guest, don't neglect him!"
When Fatty Wang saw so many soldiers traveling with them, he felt that his guest must be no ordinary person. Without saying much, he hurriedly went to pack up all the ingredients from his kitchen and prepared to leave with Gu Wenxuan.
Gu Wenxuan said, "Where's the little girl? Are you sure you can leave her in this room?"
Gu Wenxuan had heard that because Chef Wang's wife was often ill, Wang Xiaoya had been living with Chef Wang in his hometown in the countryside.
He left so early in the morning, and he was worried about leaving the girl at home. Besides, he liked this little girl very much, and asked her to go fishing and eat hotpot with him, so how could he leave her out?
Chef Wang looked at so many soldiers and said to Gu Wenxuan with some embarrassment, "Isn't it inconvenient for a child like her to go with them?"
"Follow me. If you have any concerns, go and bring her over and put her on this slide!"
The chef hurried to his room, brought his uncle's girl over, and placed her on Gu Wenxuan's slide along with the quilt.
One more child only weighed a few dozen pounds, and the two grown soldiers didn't find it unbearable to carry them.
The soldiers helped Fatty Wang take his food and walked towards the river.
Fatty Wang didn't know who Gu Wenxuan's customer was, because it was pitch dark and he didn't dare to look closely at the other person's sliding rod.
It is quite strange that he goes to the river to fish and eat hotpot so early in the morning, and he is protected by so many soldiers. He must be an extraordinary person.
After a while they arrived at the riverside. The cold breeze from the river gave goose bumps to everyone's body.
The second son of Jiang said to a soldier, "Go and requisition a boat, and we will go fishing!"
The platoon leader waved his hand and asked two soldiers to find a metal boat moored by the river.
He also told them that it would be better to find one with an engine, otherwise it would be too tiring to row manually.
There are more than 30 soldiers in their platoon, and with Chef Wang and his men, there are probably 40 people. They definitely need a larger ship.
After a while they found a boat of about forty or fifty tons by the river.
Dozens of people boarded the boat and told the boat owner to slowly steer the boat into the middle of the Jialing River.
Gu Wenxuan asked them to drive towards the Jialing River.
Because the rock carp they ate was caught in the Jialing River. It was a pity that the boy Jianghu did not rest at Chef Wang's place, otherwise he would have been called to go with them.
He wasted his time in the martial arts world to show off his unique skills!
After getting on the iron boat, Gu Wenxuan asked Chef Wang to spread out his kitchen utensils one by one in the rear cabin.
He and Miss Jiang Er sat on the front deck and asked the boatman to put a wooden table on the front deck.
At this time, Wang Xiaoya also woke up, but when she saw her older brother and a female soldier in military uniform sitting and talking in the front cabin, she did not dare to come over.
Besides, her father, Chef Wang, told her not to disturb her older brother when he was talking to the guests.
But Wang Xiaoya was also very happy. She watched the river water flowing past the boat.
Although they did business at the riverside pier, Wang Xiaoya had never taken a boat to the river for fun.
Miss Jiang Er watched the boat sailing towards the Jialing River. She curiously asked Gu Wenxuan:
"Brother, I heard that you just arrived in the mountain city. How do you know that you can catch delicious fish there?"
Gu Wenxuan said: "We caught a rock carp when we passed through the Jialing River in the early morning yesterday, so I knew that there are delicious rock carps there!"
Miss Jiang was very surprised: "What are you doing in the Jialing River in the early morning?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I just arrived in the mountain city two days ago. But on the first day in the mountain city, to be exact, a few hours after landing, I ran into an air-raid shelter because of the alarm.
The damn Japanese bombing collapsed the air-raid shelter, and we couldn't get out. Fortunately, there was a tunnel under the cave leading to the outside. The final destination of the tunnel turned out to be an ancient cave for garrisoning troops by the Jialing River!"
"Ah!" Miss Jiang Er listened to this legendary story with great interest.
"What a pity, I didn't run the alarm with you. It was a waste of time that I didn't experience such a thrilling and exciting thing with you!"
Gu Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. It was a life-threatening matter, but he turned it into a thrilling story!
"I also heard about the bombing of the air-raid shelter by the Japanese army. It is said that a very capable person dug a hole through the cave and ran to the riverside. It turned out to be you!"
"That's not the tunnel I dug. It was clearly the huge rocks that collapsed during the bombing that smashed the tunnel. I just went with a friend to explore the tunnel to see if there was any danger!"
"No matter what, I want to go and see what the tunnel looks like."
Gu Wenxuan shook his head: "Young Master, you'd better not go and see it. It stinks in there. There must have been a war in the past. There are a lot of dead bones in there!"
Hearing that it stinks, Miss Jiang immediately gave up the idea of going to see it, as she is the person who loves cleanliness the most.
Their boat had arrived at the place where Gu Wenxuan used to catch fish.
At this time, a very thin fog rose on the surface of the river. The mist rolled on the surface of the river, which was very misty and beautiful.
The second young lady looked at the fog, which looked very beautiful under the light:
"Oh, it's a pity that I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring a camera. It would be a pity not to be able to take a picture of this fairyland-like scenery!"
Gu Wenxuan casually took out a Leica camera from the space.
He pretended to take it out of his carry-on bag.
"Second Master, I have a camera here, do you think it's suitable for you to use?"
Miss Jiang took the camera and took a look. It turned out to be a Leica camera made in Germany. It was the most expensive Leica camera and was considered the leader in the camera industry at that time.
Its body is made of high-quality metal material, which is finely ground and polished to give it a charming luster.
"Wow, this camera is the latest one produced in Germany, and it's a custom-made one!
I tried to buy it several times but failed. Where did you buy it? You still carry it with you. Are you also a photography enthusiast? "
Gu Wenxuan smiled awkwardly. He was not an enthusiast at all. He just stole the money from a Huaqi Bank in Tianjin. It was probably some family that deposited it in the bank.
"Haha, Second Young Master, you think too highly of me. I am not an enthusiast at all. These are gifts from every one of my friends.
I thought it was worthless, but now that I hear you say that, I have to repay this guy's favor!"
It was a bit of a pity that Miss Jiang Er heard that Gu Wenxuan was not a photography enthusiast and didn't know the value of this camera.
Miss Jiang adjusted the lens and took a hot shot of the hazy mist.
Seeing that Miss Jiang liked the camera so much, Gu Wenxuan said to her generously:
"It seems that the Second Young Master really likes photography. Then I will give this camera to you. Anyway, the photos you took of me are not very good. It's a waste of this expensive camera!"
When Miss Jiang Er heard that Gu Wenxuan wanted to give her this valuable camera that she couldn't buy even with money, she was very happy:
"That's fine, but I won't let you spend money. How about I buy it for you? This camera costs tens of thousands of dollars!"
