Today's meal, Xiaoer was very happy, and Shang Jun was also very happy. He walked slowly on the trail of Huqiu Village under the bright moonlight. The breeze seemed to feel his rare good mood, and the leaves rustled to cater to him. A soft smile hangs on his beautiful face, and those who see it can't help but marvel that there are such beautiful people in the world.
The Mid-Autumn Festival should be a day for reunion, but unfortunately he cannot spend it with Xiaoer this year. Maybe after going to the sea this time, he should take it easy. After all, revenge is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but Xiaoer is growing up day by day, and in two years, it will be time for her. He didn't want to lose too much when she was growing up. After all, Xiao'er had already endured more suffering than ordinary children.
As soon as he entered the village, Xiao Zongqing, who had been wandering all night, greeted him and said dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Shang, where have you been all night? Call me for a drink."
Shang Jun shook his head amusingly and replied, "I'm going home to see my sister." Is this person a big bubble in a wine jar? He always drinks.
"Oh." Xiao Zongqing touched his head embarrassedly.
Huqiu Village is surrounded by mountains, towering trees, and countless mottled green shadows cast by the moonlight. From time to time, one or two leaves are blown off by the night wind of early autumn, making people feel the chill of the desolate autumn night. Xiao Zongqing was only wearing a single shirt. Although he was tall, he still looked thin. Shang Jun advised: "It's cold at night, come out and put on some clothes. Go inside and talk, your body is just right." He is the most uncooperative patient he has ever seen. He can sit and never lie down. Do not sit.
"I've been fine for a long time, it's your mother-in-law." He muttered, but he obediently followed Shang Jun into the tent.
Sitting down in the tent, Shang Jun poured him a glass of water and asked, "What are your plans? Do you want to go home right away, or stay for a while?"
Xiao Zongqing thought for a while and replied, "I don't want to go back right away, to save my brothers making a fuss." He put his hand on Shang Jun's shoulder and smiled slyly: "I think, go to live in your Misty Mountain Villa. For a while, let's take a look at your precious little sister, is she a beauty, okay?" In this way, he can see what Shang Jun's home looks like.
Shang Jun frowned slightly and remained silent. Xiao Zongqing asked curiously: "What? No way?" Shang Jun doesn't seem to be the kind of stingy and dishonest person. Could it be that he has some difficulties
Shang Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, no, I'm going to the East China Sea tomorrow, and I won't be back in two or three months. If you want to go, I'm afraid you will be bored. As for my sister, is it big? I don't know the beauty, but when it comes to nonsense, it will definitely be on par with you." According to his temperament, Misty Villa is simple and simple, and not lively, I am afraid that he will run faster than anyone else.
Xiao Zongqing ignored Shang Jun's secret relegation. He wanted to know what Shang Jun was doing in the East China Sea, so he asked enthusiastically, "Are you going to sea? What are you going to do?"
San'er's eyes that were too bright made Shang Jun faintly feel bad, so he said perfunctorily: "It's not just doing business."
Do business? Xiao Zongqing put his hands around his chest and walked around with a thoughtful look. Based on Shang Jun's understanding of San'er, the next situation must not be what he wants to face. He just wanted to get up and leave quietly, Xiao Zongqing shouted at him excitedly: "It's the one that Big Brother Bi said is very special. The place? It's called the sea area. Isn't it?"
Yes. But he didn't want to answer. Shang Jun felt his head start to hurt.
"I am going too."
really! Xiao Zongqing happily announced his decision.
"No." This little ancestor can really toss people.
Xiao Zongqing widened his eyes and asked, "Why?"
"very dangerous."
Shang Jun's tone, why is it more and more like the second brother, mother-in-law's. Xiao Zongqing pouted and said nonchalantly, "Is it more dangerous than the plague? I dare to come here, and where else I dare not go, I am not afraid."
Shang Jun replied weakly: "I'm afraid." San'er looked dark blue, sweaty, and breathing was turbid. He was still afraid after thinking about it now. Although the trip to the sea was not as terrifying as the epidemic, it was not a good journey. The journey, he is really afraid.
"I—" Xiao Zongqing still wanted to explain.
Shang Jun stood up neatly and said solemnly: "You don't need to say more, I won't take you there. You can rest well. I'll visit Cang Yue when I have time. Take care." Xiao Zongqing responded, and Shang Jun hurried out of the camp.
He, it is absolutely impossible to take him with you, absolutely!
"Shangjun!" In the tent, Xiao Zongqing shouted angrily, and when he followed him out of the tent, Shangjun's figure had already swept away ten feet away.
Staring at the back of Shang Jun's fading away, Xiao Zongqing's eyes are full of sullen and stubborn light, and the young handsome face shows fortitude edges and corners due to clenched teeth.
"If I want to go, I can definitely go." Under the moonlight, the young man stood in front of the tent for a long time, snorting coldly, just like his declaration.
San'er does everything he can to achieve his goals. The Lord of Shang has seen it before, so this time he left, he even omitted to say goodbye. Although he felt a little sorry for him, in order to guard against the constant tricks of San'er, this was the only thing he could do.
Fast-forwarding and galloping all the way, Shang Jun and his party of more than a dozen people finally arrived at the East China Sea as scheduled.
The East China Sea Port is the largest port in the East. There are hundreds of boats berthed, most of which are fishing boats. There are not many merchant ships like them. The port is full of prosperity. Xuan Tiancheng, the Emperor of the East Yu, was only in his thirties, but he had been in power for more than ten years. He could be regarded as a wise ruler who cared about the people and governed the country well. Compared with the Emperor Yanrui, he was older, unable to manage and seize the throne. In an inevitable situation, the Cang Yue Kingdom was in a situation where he was stubbornly paying heavy taxes and being ambitious, so he was lucky to have such a wise ruler in the east corner.
Stepping on the soft sand under his feet, Shang Jun searched all the way for the merchant ships with bright red flags in the bows that Bi Xian said, walked around, and finally saw three or four ships in the most marginal position of the harbor. Merchant ships with dark red flags are not huge, and they are almost indistinguishable from ordinary merchant ships. Perhaps they are afraid of being too conspicuous, but they are rather large to attract the wind. Shang Jun chuckled, this is very similar to Bi Xian's style, like his people, try to hide from everyone.
Just before Shang Jun walked to the ship, an old man over fifty was already waiting there, smiling respectfully, "Young Master Shang, I am the steward of the fleet this time, you can call me Lao You, Master Bi. It has been explained, we are ready, and we can set sail."
Master Bi said that the man who was outrageously handsome was Lord Shang. At that time, he was still muttering, but today he seems to be recognizable.
Shang Jun gently cupped his hands and replied, "It's time to work."
Often living at sea, perhaps it is because he has seen too much scenery of the sea and the sky, and is used to seeing the free and easy waves of the waves. Whether it is the sailor on the boat or the steward, you have a cheerful smile and a loud voice. Shang Jun was also infected with this rare ease. Taking advantage of the short time they prepared, he sat on a small reef beside the merchant ship, savoring the beauty of the sea and the sky, clear sky and clear water.
The noon sun is the most blazing, but it adds a stunning charm to the sea. The refraction of the sun makes you unable to tell whether it is the sea or the sky that is green and blue. This is the edge of the harbour, and there are few ships. A small boat floating on the sea attracted all the attention of the merchant. It is not how special the boat is, but the person on the boat, which makes people unable to look away. .
In the blue sea and blue sky, on a small fishing boat, a black-robed man was sitting on the bow of the boat, leaning halfway against the cabin. His slender figure seemed to be ready to be weathered at any time. He was holding a picture scroll in his hand, the sun was dazzling, and he could only see that it was a person. The man stared blankly at the painting, turned his back to the Shang Jun, and could not see his appearance. In such a prosperous harbor, he just sat so quietly, but formed his own world, as if all the hustle and bustle could not get close to him. .
Shang Jun sighed secretly, the curious man got up and was about to leave, but the man suddenly turned around, and Shang Jun unexpectedly bumped into a pair of eyes that were as deep and charming as the moon in the sea. What kind of eyes are those? It is quieter than the vast deep sea behind and gentler than the breeze blowing by the side of the body, making people unconsciously unable to look away. Meeting these eyes, Shang Jun could clearly hear his pounding heartbeat.
When the man saw Shang Jun, he nodded slightly, his moist lips raised slightly, his long fluttering hair, and the alternating shades of blue behind him were a beautiful picture. Shang Jun nodded lightly in return, and after seeing this man, he knew what a fairy-like appearance was, and what was gentle as jade and tranquil as water.
Suddenly, Shang Jun felt that this man gave him a feeling of deja vu. Like Murong Shuqing, yes, they all seem to be such quiet and gentle people, but Shuqing is more indifferent and casual, while he is more elegant and refined.
"Master Shang, it's getting late, you can get on the boat." Lao You shouted loudly from the bow.
"Okay." Shang Jun hurriedly got off the reef and boarded the merchant ship along the mysterious bridge connecting the ship to the wharf. Standing on the bow of the boat, when Shang Jun looked back at the boat where the man was, he was nowhere to be seen, or maybe he went back to the cabin.
Shang Jun suddenly felt a sense of loss, shook his head gently, and couldn't help laughing at himself, when did he feel so easily.
The ship quickly left the harbor, and after entering the deep sea, the waves were significantly larger. Shang Jun grew up in an inland country like Cang Yue. He followed his master up the mountain since he was a child. He had hardly ever seen the sea, let alone sailing under such big waves. It only took half a day. The red glow of the sunset was still hanging in the sky. But he already felt a slight pain in his head, almost nauseating.
Lao You stood beside Shang Jun and saw that his face was slightly blue. He had been on the boat for a long time and saw many people who were seasick, so he patted Shang Jun on the shoulder and said with a bold smile: "Shang Gongzi, your expression is not good. Great, are you seasick?"
Shang Jun smiled bitterly and replied, "It's a little bit, but I can still hold it."
Lao You shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll go and prepare some special soup for you to treat seasickness. This is still a small wave. Later, the tide will go against the current, and the wave will be big."
"It's work."
Is this still Xiaolang? Shang Jun suddenly felt that the ten-day voyage would be the biggest challenge in his life.
As it was getting dark, the crew checked the lights used at night and the sailing of the boat, lifted the bottom plate, and checked the lower cabin. At this time, the crew suddenly shouted: "Come and see, there is actually a person lying in the lower cabin."
The lower cabins usually store some tools, spare canvas, etc. How can there be anyone? The crew rushed over to watch the fun.
"who?"
"It's a boy."
"Hey, what's your name?"
"How did you get on the boat?"
The crew squatted in the hatch and asked questions below, but there was no answer from the cabin. Lao You also rushed over, saw the scene under the cabin, and said, "Take a hand and pull him up first."
The two strong men worked together to pull up the boy who appeared inexplicably in the cabin.
Shang Jun was uncomfortable at first, so he just leaned on the deck and looked at them. After seeing the dirty face of the young man, his eyes widened and he shouted: "San'er?!" How could it be him, with dirty clothes Disordered, wrinkled, and his hair was not properly tied, now he is just as embarrassed as when he was imprisoned in Feiying Village.
"You—" Shang Jun choked in his throat. He looked like this, and he stayed in that cabin for at least two days. So, he came directly to the East China Sea the night he left. He was recovering from a serious illness. He was able to stay in the almost airtight cabin for two days, but he refused to come out when he set sail for fear of being discovered and driven him off. He was extremely uncomfortable just standing on the deck, not to mention his low cabin. In the face of such a stubborn San'er, Shang Jun didn't know what else to say.
Xiao Zongqing's eyes crossed the crowd and stared at Shang Jun, with anger, stubbornness, and even pride in his eyes. "I said, if I want to come, I will definitely come." After a long time without drinking water, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear.
Shang Jun turned around and walked out of the cabin, he had nothing to say to him.
"Shangjun!" Xiao Zongqing was a little anxious, why didn't he scold him. Shang Jun didn't say a word, didn't get angry or scolded, but Xiao Zongqing was a little scared. He pushed everyone away and followed Shang Jun into the cabin.
Shang Jun sat down beside the bed, let his breath sink in his dantian, and slowly adjusted his breath. After a few times, he found that it was of little use, and he still felt chest tightness.
Xiao Zongqing rushed into Shang Jun's room, only to see his eyebrows wrinkled, his face turning blue, forgetting his anger, and anxiously said: "Shang Jun, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly, are you uncomfortable?"
Shang Jun shook his head, but didn't answer. He was afraid that he would spit it out as soon as he spoke.
Xiao Zongqing watched for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "Are you seasick?" Unexpectedly, the master of martial arts, who seemed to be omnipotent, was seasick. Thinking of this, he was suddenly in a good mood, patted Shang Jun on the shoulder, and smiled like a child: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't run around when I'm not healthy, and I shouldn't hide in the cabin first. It's all my fault, so don't be angry. You have to stay comfortable for seasickness, otherwise you will get even more dizzy."
Unable to stand his humble appearance, Shang Jun rolled his eyes at him.
"Young Master Shang." Lao You held a bowl of medicinal soup, gently knocked on the door of Shang Jun, and said, "This is a soup for seasickness. The people on our ship often use it for new crew members. It's good, you can take advantage of it. Drink it hot."
"Thank you, let me come." Xiao Zongqing greeted him. The medicinal soup was a little hot, and while he was blowing the medicinal soup, he greeted Lao You: "My name is Xiao Zongqing, and Shang Jun is a brother who worshipped him, so you can call me Xiaoqing, what should I call you? Woolen cloth?"
The young man also seemed to be a straightforward and straightforward person, and Lao You smiled cheerfully: "You can call me Lao You with the son of Shang."
"Okay, Lao You." Xiao Zongqing didn't hesitate, and let the two people across the generation look at each other and laugh.
Feeling that the medicine was a little colder, Xiao Zongqing brought it in front of Shang Jun and said, "Shang Jun, drink the medicine quickly."
Perhaps because of being on the boat, Shang Jun always smelled a fishy smell, and the same was true of this bowl of medicine. A nausea rushed into his throat, and he quickly turned his head away. Shang Jun refused to drink it, but Xiao Zongqing refused to obey, stuffed the medicine into Shang Jun's hand, and taught him: "Now is not the time to be self-willed, drink it!"
When did he become capricious? Shang Jun was speechless. When the nausea in his throat subsided, Shang Jun held his breath and poured all the medicine in his hand into his mouth. After the entrance, it does not feel fishy, and there is a slight woody fragrance.
Taking the empty bowl in Shang Jun's hand, Xiao Zongqing smiled cheerfully: "Just sleep and get used to the waves on this sea."
God really made a big joke with him. Xiao Zongqing stayed in the lower cabin for a few days and was still full of energy, but he was sick and had no strength at all.
The boat was swaying, and Shang Jun didn't sleep well, but after drinking Lao You's medicine, his chest tightness and nausea were much better. Through the wooden window of the room, I could see that the moon had risen very high outside. It should have been an hour. I didn't expect him to be in a daze and slept for several hours.
The loud noise outside aroused the curiosity of Shang Jun. After all this time, why is it still so lively outside? When I walked out of the cabin, I saw a lot of crew members standing on the deck. Almost every two or three people had a huge net in their hands. Are they fishing
One of the group took the net, and after pulling it up, a familiar exclamation came, "Oh, what a big fish, can you let me try it too?"
The crew member smiled cheerfully: "Okay."
The young man happily picked up one end of the fishing net and threw it into the sea like everyone else. I don't know if he was lucky or if there were so many fish. After a while, the young man shouted: "Hurry up, I can't hold it. !"
Is it a big fish? "Everyone join hands."
Several idle crew members rushed up, pulling the fishing net and shouting, "One or two, one or two—"
Shang Jun frowned, the voice was so familiar. If you look closely, isn't it San'er who is pulling the fishing net with the horn? Shang Jun laughed, his shabby Chinese clothes had long since been replaced by the same coarse cloth jackets as the crew members, and his hair was wrapped in a bun with cloth. He stood with the crew members so familiarly that he became one of them. . Shang Jun sighed lightly, such a smart boy, he only got along with the crew in just half a day. He knew who he was facing and what to do. He was restrained when he was in Feiying Village, but he was enthusiastic and unrestrained at sea. would be a good businessman.
"Master Shang, are you feeling better?"
Although still uncomfortable, Shang Jun replied: "It's much better."
While wiping the water stains in his hands, Lao You explained: "The reverse current is coming soon, and the big fish on the bottom of the sea are stirred up to the surface. At this time, the most harvests are obtained, and after the reverse current, it is particularly difficult to fish, so Everyone is taking advantage of the fact that they are catching more now, are they disturbing you?"
"No, I've slept for a long time too." It was indeed long enough, but the more I slept, the more sore my body became.
"Pull it up, pull it up!" Xiao Zongqing shouted loudly. Lao You laughed and walked over to see what big fish he caught. The other crew members followed suit. Seeing that he was so excited, Shang Jun approached with a smile.
"What are these?" Xiao Zongqing was fishing for the first time, and turned over the fishing net with great interest to see what big fish he had caught. Not even a small fish, Xiao Zongqing said frustratedly and annoyed, "I thought it was a big fish, it's all water plants."
