The crew laughed heartily, and it was a common thing to salvage water plants at sea, but just seeing his depressed look, the crew couldn't help laughing. Lao You squatted down, pulled out a few sea mussels that were smaller than his fists in the aquatic plants, and comforted: "Who said, there are still a few sea mussels, Xiaoqing, maybe you are luckier than them, the sea mussels said There may be pearls."
"Really?" Xiao Zongqing's eyes lit up and took the sea clam.
A few old sailors next to him laughed: "Old You, don't make him happy, and let him down later, we have been in this sea for more than ten years, and there may not be a pearl in a thousand sea mussels. These mussels are so small, not to mention pearls, even the mussels are not enough for the next bowl of soup."
Lao You smiled and nodded. It is also true that pearls are really hard to find. This water area is not the area where Zhuhai mussels grow.
They are making fun of him! Xiao Zongqing stood up in disappointment with a smile, and saw that Shang Jun was also standing by looking at him. He walked to Shang Jun and asked with concern: "Shang Jun, you are up. Are you better?"
"Ok."
Handing the sea clam in front of Shang Jun, Xiao Zongqing complained: "Old You said that there may be pearls here, but they said no, which made me happy and sad."
Shang Jun laughed, "Open it and see."
The crew member next to him took out a knife and volunteered, "I'll drive."
Although most people believed that there would be no pearls in it, they still couldn't help but see with their own eyes what came out. After opening three in a row, there was nothing except for the mussels that were not thick. I said no expression.
"The last one." Xiao Zongqing was also extremely disappointed, and handed out the last sea mussel.
After opening the last sea mussel, the mussels were plump. The crew used a knife to lightly poke the skirt of the mussel. A small white dot slipped out of the skirt. The crew who opened the mussel exclaimed excitedly, "Yes! There are really pearls! "
The crew members, who had been in despair, suddenly regained their energy and gathered around again. The crew members carefully picked out the pearls, but made an unexpected discovery.
"One more." When they heard that there was another, the crew members shouted loudly, and some even whistled excitedly.
Xiao Zongqing played with two small pearls in his hands, feeling quite fresh, Lao You smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, you are so lucky, in this deep sea, it is rare to find mussels with pearls, and pearls are still there. Not small."
Xiao Zongqing handed the pearl to Shang Jun and asked happily, "Shang Jun, do you look good?"
The color of the two pearls is yellowish, but the rare thing is that they are almost the same size, like plump soybeans, and they are all oval. Under the moonlight, there is a faint lustrous luster. Although it is not considered to be the best, it is extremely precious because it was obtained by myself. Shang Jun nodded and smiled: "It's beautiful."
Shang Jun looked down at Pearl's profile, which was soft and smooth, as shiny as pearls. Because he was a little closer, Xiao Zongqing could smell a faint smell on him, not like the sweat on the man beside him. It's not like a woman's fat powder smell, it's an indescribable smell. Xiao Zongqing stretched out his hand and said, "Send it to you, it is the best match for you, gentle and elegant."
This is not false. It seems that only the Shangjun can be worthy of pearls on the ship.
Shang Jun coughed slightly embarrassedly and replied: "What am I going to do here, you can keep it well, this is your memorial on the sea." He is a big man now, and matching pearls is nothing.
Xiao Zongqing pouted, Shang Jun didn't want it, and he didn't force it. He carefully wrapped it up and hid it in his sleeves.
Lao You looked at the sea surface where the high waves had been raised just now. Now the sea is calm and calm, even the sea breeze seems to be stagnant, and the water surface is as calm as a mirror. Shang Jun also noticed this strange scene. After packing up the things on the deck, Lao You said, "Young Master Shang, Xiaoqing, you are going to the cabin. The boat will be swirling against the current for half an hour, which is extremely dangerous. You have to be careful."
"Come in." Shang Jun was seasick, and Lao You said it was so terrifying, Xiao Zongqing hurriedly pulled Shang Jun to the cabin.
The two people closed the door, and the wooden window in the cabin was immediately slapped against the window frame by a gust of wind. Fortunately, it was a solid wood window. If it was the usual carved window, it would have been smashed. Xiao Zongqing walked to the window and was about to close the window when he saw the ship heading towards a vortex-like place, and his eyes widened in shock. Before he could ask Shang Jun to be careful, the boat was spinning out of control. He grabbed the window frame and didn't fall, but Shang Jun didn't know what happened, and was hit by the sudden rotation and hit the foot of the bed. He groaned in pain.
Closing the window hastily, Xiao Zongqing wanted to walk to the side of Shang Jun, but the boat shook too much, he frequently hit the wall and the table, Shang Jun said anxiously: "San'er, grab the corner of the table." The tables and chairs are all fixed, Xiao Zongqing grabbed the corner of the table and barely stood up.
This kind of rotation and shaking has no meaning to stop. The ship is like a dead leaf in the raging wind, and it has no power and can only rotate with the vortex of the water.
"Shangjun, how are you?" His face became worse and worse.
Shang Jun couldn't hear the loud noise of the waves crashing on the boat outside, nor could he hear Xiao Zongqing's worried low call, but only heard his heart beating like thunder, not listening.
Finally, Shang Jun couldn't help but vomit.
"Shangjun!"
It was so difficult for half an hour. The two of them didn't know what was going on outside. They could only feel that the boat was no longer shaking as violently as before. Xiao Zongqing was barely able to stand up, and Shang Jun was almost lying on the foot of the bed, with a little perspiration oozing from his forehead, his face pale. Xiao Zongqing supported Shang Jun to the bed and said, "Lang seems to be a little smaller, Shang Jun, lie down and have a rest."
Shang Jun was lying on the bed, curled up slightly, after a long time, Xiao Zongqing whispered, "Shang Jun?"
"I'm fine." Even when he was in extreme pain and fatigue, Shang Jun's voice was still sober, but it was much lower. He couldn't rest well at all.
Xiao Zongqing quietly got up and went out of the cabin. On the aisle, he met Lao You who was soaking wet. It could be seen that the wind and waves just hit were frightening. Xiao Zongqing asked with concern: "Lao You, are you not injured? Huge waves. Has it passed?"
Wiping the water stains on his face with a towel, Lao You panted slightly and replied, "I'm fine, there won't be big waves for the time being, but such waves will continue for several days."
"How many days?" Xiao Zongqing exclaimed, how could Shang Jun stand it? "Shang-jun vomited badly, do you still have any decoction?"
Lao You shook his head and said with a smile, "I've already spilled it, I'll bring it to you later."
Xiao Zongqing nodded and hurriedly went back to take care of Shang Jun. He took two steps before backing back and said, "By the way, Lao You, Shang Jun always seems to be sleepless at night, you'd better add some The herbs he slept well in, he would not vomit when he fell asleep."
"OK."
Xiao Zongqing returned to the cabin, and found that Shang Jun vomited again, and even some vomit was stained on the front of his clothes. His face was so pale that it was a little scary. Xiao Zongqing wiped the corner of Shang Jun's lips with his sleeve and stroked his forehead. He didn't have a fever, but he was abnormally cold.
After a while, Lao You's voice sounded outside the door, "Xiaoqing."
Opening the door, taking the slightly hot soup, Xiao Zongqing thanked: "Excuse me."
"You're welcome, take good care of Young Master Shang."
When he returned to the bed and helped Shang Jun up, Xiao Zongqing felt that he was so thin. "Shangjun." He shook his shoulder lightly and called, "Shangjun, get up and drink some medicine."
Shang Jun slowly opened his eyes and saw a bowl of thick black medicinal juice in front of him, and asked, "This is?"
"The seasickness medicine Lao You sent, you will feel better after drinking it."
Shang Jun nodded and drank it obediently. He didn't know, it turned out that the seasickness was so uncomfortable, he would rather be poisoned, or at least force some out with his internal strength. Now, he is completely powerless.
Xiao Zongqing gently put him back on the bed, looked at the mess in the room, picked up the broom outside the cabin and came in to clean it. This was his first time cleaning the room, and it was still vomit, but all this was done for Shang Jun Yes, he didn't feel any grievances.
After finally cleaning up, Xiao Zongqing sat down on the edge of the bed, Shang Jun looked calm, as if he was asleep, Xiao Zongqing whispered, "Shang Jun?" There was no response, the medicine took effect, Xiao Zongqing long With a sigh of relief, Shang Jun finally got a good night's sleep.
It's just that his clothes were dirty when he vomited, how could he sleep well. Xiao Zongqing wanted to help Shang Jun change his coat, but Shang Jun slept deeply, and it seemed awkward to take off his clothes like this.
Xiao Zongqing patted his head, what was he thinking, everyone is a man, what's the embarrassment about.
Therefore, his hand also generously stretched out to Shang Jun's jacket—
Although they were all men, when Xiao Zongqing's hand undid Shang Jun's robe, he couldn't help but tremble slightly. He glanced at Shang Jun's quiet sleeping face, and Xiao Zongqing swallowed unconsciously. Shang Jun's complexion was already fair, and with this tossing, his face was almost transparent, his long eyelashes covered his usually calm eyes, and his warm lips were dry and pale at this time, so haggard he was. , It seems that it is actually soft enough to make people's heart beat faster.
Xiao Zongqing quickly retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, and half supported Shang Jun's neck, trying to help him up a little so that he could easily take off his robe. He glanced at Shang Jun's neck, slender and white, very beautiful, but what was wrong? Xiao Zongqing stared blankly at Shang Jun's neck for a long time before opening his eyes, Shang Jun, Shang Jun, he has no Adam's apple
How is this possible? Shang Jun was nearly twenty years old, and he should have grown his Adam's apple long ago. He couldn't help reaching out and caressing Shang Jun's throat. The smooth touch made Xiao Zongqing withdraw his hand quickly. Is it—
Impossible, Xiao Zongqing didn't believe his guess, he put his hand on Shang Jun's chest again, and his hands were flat. Which woman would have such a flat chest. A hanging heart seems to be put down, and it seems a little disappointed, Xiao Zongqing can't understand what he is thinking.
I was about to withdraw my hand, but I felt that the touch of my hand was a little different. It was hard. Even a person with strong muscles could not be so hard when they were sleeping, right? With the seeds of curiosity in his heart, Xiao Zongqing must figure it out. He reached out and gently pulled down the collar of Shang Jun, and found that he was still wearing a middle coat. piece? Xiao Zongqing sighed, how many clothes did Shang Jun wear
Looking closely, the piece inside doesn't seem to be a piece of clothing, but a bundle of cloth wrapped tightly around the chest layer after layer, fine and tight, Xiao Zongqing wondered, Shang Jun wrapped these things around his body...
Slim neck! The bodice on the chest! Shang Jun, is it possible that he is really a woman? !
The voice that appeared in his head made Xiao Zongqing at a loss. Don't know what to do at all. He hurriedly put Shang Jun back on the bed, nervously tidying up his collar and coat, not daring to look at Shang Jun's face, then opened the door of the cabin, and ran out like an escape.
Stumbled and sat down in the cabin passage, Xiao Zongqing's heart pounded into his throat.
Shang Jun, Shang Jun is a woman!
How could he be a woman? He entered the wolf's den, stole stolen goods, fought with the second brother, went to the plagued village alone, and entered the military camp for the people. How could he be a woman? how come? !
The white and slender neck and the entangled bundles of cloth flashed in front of his eyes one by one, and he couldn't help but believe that Shang Jun was a woman.
"Xiaoqing?" In the dark cabin aisle, Xiao Zongqing squatted there, the expression on his face was a little shocked, a little flustered, a little overwhelmed, and a little surprised. Lao You, who came out to check, asked inexplicably, "The storm is not small, Xiaoqing, why are you sitting here?"
Xiao Zongqing was obviously taken aback by the sudden voice. He didn't know how to answer, so he casually replied: "I, I just want to sit here."
Xiao Zongqing's face was not right, and Lao You asked worriedly, "Is something wrong with Shang Jun? I'll go see him."
"Don't go!" Shang Jun is a girl, so how could he let people go in and see when he was sleeping. Xiao Zongqing suddenly shouted excitedly, which startled Lao You. Lao You's suspicious expression made Xiao Zongqing a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and explained with a dry smile: "I mean, he drank your medicine and finally fell asleep, so don't bother him. I'm just I'm bored, sit here. You go to rest and leave me alone."
I always thought Xiaoqing was weird, but he said so, and Lao You couldn't say anything, and said, "Okay, be careful."
"I know, I will be careful." Xiao Zongqing nodded again and again.
After Lao You left, Xiao Zongqing lowered his head in frustration. He didn't expect Shang Jun to be a woman, and he was shocked. After the shock, he was inexplicably excited, but Shang Jun is a woman, how will he get along with him in the future? Woolen cloth? Or drink with him as a man and hook up with each other? He can't do it, take care of him like a woman, pity, spoil? Shang Jun is not another woman who pretends to be shy, and he may not disdain it at all.
Why! hey!
In the quiet autumn night after the huge waves, Xiao Zongqing was the only one who was troubled by himself and had no sleep all night.
Shang Jun stroked his slightly aching head and woke up, he seemed to be sound asleep. Sitting up with support, Shang Jun smiled bitterly. After two or three days on the boat, he almost fell asleep. Stretching his waist, everything was fine except for being a little stiff. Looking down at his slightly messy robe, Shang Jun thought it was because the waves were big at the time, and he had slept for so long, and it was normal to be a little messy. He straightened his clothes, and then got up. It was very calm outside the cabin. Shang Jun opened the wooden window and saw a red sun rising slowly on the sea level. The warm sun shines on the body, even if there are wind and waves, the boat is still rocking, but it feels warm.
Shang Jun stood in front of the window, after secretly adjusting his breath, his spirit was slightly better.
The cabin looked like it had been cleaned. He remembered that he had vomited several times last night, but the cabin is still clean and tidy now. A warm current flowed through Shang Jun's heart, and it was difficult for the third young master of the Xiao family.
Opening the door, Shang Jun whispered, "San'er."
It was a little dark in the aisle, and there was a shadow sitting there faintly in front, and Shang Jun called out uncertainly, "San'er?"
"I'm here." He heard when Shang Jun called him for the first time, but he didn't know how to face Shang Jun, so he didn't answer. Xiao Zongqing lowered his head and stood up slowly, but his eyes were wandering around, but he didn't look at Shang Jun.
Shang Jun smiled and said, "What are you doing sitting in the aisle? Come to the cabin."
"Oh." He walked slowly step by step, not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't see the handrail on the aisle, and hit it hard.
Hiss—
Xiao Zongqing grimaced in pain, Shang Jun greeted him and sighed, "How is your hand? Let me see."
He just lifted his hand, San'er seemed to be scalded by boiling water, and immediately bounced away, hurriedly walked into the cabin, and replied, "No, no, I'm fine."
Walking into the cabin, Xiao Zongqing was also sitting on the farthest chair, looking left and right, but didn't dare to look at him. San'er looked a little wrong. Shang Jun sat down beside him and asked, "San'er, what's the matter with you?"
"Nothing." answered quickly. Shang Jun lowered his face and said, "You lie, why don't you dare to look at me?" San'er was not like this before. He was sometimes arrogant, sometimes stubborn, and sometimes cheerful, but he would never be so at a loss.
Xiao Zongqing groaned in his heart, could he tell Shang Jun: I took off your clothes while you were sleeping and found out that you are a woman. Even if Shang Jun didn't slap him to death, it is estimated that he would never get along with each other.
Xiao Zongqing raised his head, deliberately stared into Shang Jun's eyes, and replied loudly: "I dare not look at you, I just saw that you were seasick and worried about you."
Shang Jun laughed, because of this, he thought he would believe it? Thinking that everyone has their own concerns, Shang Jun no longer asked, and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, it's much better."
"Oh." Xiao Zongqing stared blankly at Shang Jun and smiled. He used to think he was handsome, but why didn't he realize that he smiled, so beautiful.
What is this kid giggling about? Shang Jun looked at him in a trance and said, "You haven't rested well since you got on the boat. You worked hard for you last night. Sleep well for a while. I'll ask Lao You if there is any free room. Just sleep in a room with me, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the floor."
Xiao Zongqing opened his eyes, he wants to live in a room with Shang Jun? Is this possible? It turned out that it was still awkward, when I heard Shang Jun said that he was going to sleep on the ground, he immediately shouted: "How could I let you sleep on the ground!" There is no reason why women sleep on the floor and men sleep on the bed.
Shang Jun looked at San'er's excited face with a funny smile, and said with a smile: "I'm older than you, what's wrong with me sleeping on the floor? When I was in Feiying Village, I didn't sleep on the floor the same way."
Then you were a man, now you are a woman. Xiao Zongqing insisted: "You are seasick and in poor health, so you can't sleep on the floor. Otherwise, I'll go to the same room with Lao You and sleep on the floor with him."
"Okay, listen to you. Now I'm not going to sleep, you can sleep in bed." His stubbornness is unmatched, and Shangjun does not fight with him, and there is nothing wrong with boys sleeping on the ground.
Xiao Zongqing was lying on the bed, always feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked, "I'm sleeping, so what are you doing?"
Shang Jun held the book, leaned against the window, and replied, "I have enough sleep, I don't want to lie down, you go to sleep, I will sit and read the book, distracted, maybe not so dizzy."
"Oh."
Lying down and looking at Shang Jun's beautiful profile face, it was a little blurry in the morning light, the long black hair fluttered with the sea breeze, and it was as demure as the clouds in the sky, gathered and scattered freely, very beautiful. Xiao Zongqing slowly closed his eyes and gently raised the corners of his lips.
Shangjun is a woman, that's fine.
