"Brother, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again, really, I really won't dare to do it again!"
Simu bowed his head and admitted his mistake, as obedient as a child. Russell tried hard to hold back his laughter, and his eyes almost turned white from laughing.
It’s so interesting!
"snort!"
Uncle Jiu was very angry and the consequences were serious. He held a big knife and kept nagging for several hours before he slowly withdrew his magic power.
After this lesson from Uncle Jiu, Simu was much more obedient in the next few days. He took care of little Russell seriously, practiced, and stood on the bow of the boat to watch the scenery every day.
And that extremely evil painting was collected by little Russell. It was a good thing, specially used to deceive and trap people.
Have you ever heard of the Pure Land
Russell was also lazily lying in a chair basking in the sun. In a few days, the weather would turn cooler, and it would not be easy to bask in the sun.
The weather in the south is best when it rains lightly and is cloudy. But it is better than in the Northeast, it is dry and cold!
I really don’t know how they survived in this era without heating
Fire pit
As a Southerner, Russell said he had never seen it and had only seen it in historical time-travel novels.
Peaceful days are always short-lived. Although Russell and Simu did not cause any trouble, trouble came as if they were possessed by a primary school student from the School of Science.
It was a cloudy day with a light rain, but the wind was still very strong. For safety reasons, the boat docked at the shore.
It was a remote place in the wilderness, with no hotels to stay in. It was drizzling, and no one had the leisure to watch the rain.
Most of them were hiding in their rooms, gathering in groups of three or four to play cards, and some were even playing mahjong! !
Russell felt it was very novel, perhaps it was very close to life in later generations.
He was very curious at first, but then he remembered the diary of a big boss.
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, play cards!"
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, no, I have to work hard."
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, we played cards for a day."
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, I went to a certain basketball court to watch a girl play basketball. Her thighs were not pretty, so I came back to play cards."
(?^o^?)
Russell couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that those who keep diaries are not serious people!
Unlike him, he can only stay in the room bored, playing Landlord with Simu and two girls. Although they are female ghosts, they are still better than the men before, hehe!
The rain gradually got heavier and the night grew late. Yuan Hua came out of the room cursing, and there was laughter inside.
He turned his hand in anger and slammed the door shut.
His luck was really bad today. He lost several dollars playing a game of mahjong that cost only a few cents. That was several months' salary!
Yuan Hua had a look of annoyance on his face. Looking at the heavy rain outside, he became more and more upset. He picked up the cloak beside him and put it on his head.
With a few quick steps, he came to the boat side in the rain, holding the boat rope with one hand and holding up his trousers with the other. It turned out that he wanted to walk the bird under the moonlight!
There was a rustling sound and a gust of wind blew. Yuan Hua felt his feet getting hot and he lowered his head and couldn't help cursing.
When people reach middle age, they feel a little weak and can’t even walk like a bird. When the wind blows, they all fall to their feet!
"What a damn bad luck!"
The more Yuan Hua thought about it, the angrier he became, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit today. He cursed a few words under his breath, and a black shadow floated in the air and landed accurately on his face.
It's wet and soft, and I don't know what it is
He touched it and looked at it in the moonlight, and he was so happy!
This is a silver note, the kind that can at least be exchanged for 100 taels of silver in a money shop!
Yuan Hua's mouth was almost crooked with laughter. What does it mean to have good luck? This is what it means to have good luck!
He placed the banknote in front of him and looked at it carefully, his face instantly turned pale again. On the other side of the banknote, there was a bloody handprint like a baby's.
Bloody handprints!!!
Yuan Hua's face fell instantly. He was not a farmer who had no exposure to the country world.
As a sailor who travels frequently with the ships, what I hear the most are all kinds of weird stories and what I believe in are all kinds of mysterious rules.
One of them is that you cannot pick up money that is covered with bloody fingerprints, because it is the life-saving money of ghosts!
Anyone who picked up such money would die within three days and become a wandering ghost.
Who wants to die when you can live
Yuan Hua had a sad face, put his hands together, and knelt down to kowtow to the people around him, "Ghost brother, ghost sister, I have no hatred or grudge against you. I am sorry for offending you today!"
As he said this, he tremblingly threw the life-saving money in his hand off the boat. In Yuan Hua's desperate eyes, the life-saving money was blown up by the wind again and landed accurately on his face.
He couldn't help but kneel down on the ground. The raincoat kept falling. Yuan Hua looked up to the sky and roared in grief and anger.
"No!"
…
At this time, an uninvited guest came to Russell's room. It was the head of the Li family, Li Chengyu, and his little kid, Li Tianyang!
Although Russell knew in his heart that this man named Li Tianyang had a special relationship with his future, he still couldn't help but look at him curiously.
This is the first time I see this little baby after being on the ship for several days.
Li Tianyang seemed a little shy, but he had the shyness that is unique to southerners. He was not like some big guys who would come up and pat you on the shoulder and ask you to drink a few cups of wine.
Li Chengyu looked apologetic, "I've been really busy lately. I'm really sorry for wasting your time."
He patted the little kid hiding behind him and said, "This is my little son Tianyang."
As he spoke, Li Chengyu pointed at Simu and Luo Su, "You should call this Simu uncle, and this cute little brother, you should call Luo Su brother!"
Li Tianyang hugged Li Chengyu's thighs tightly and hid his head behind his father, not daring to see anyone.
Li Chengyu was somewhat helpless and waved his hands, "This kid, I'm not at home all year round, and he's been taken care of by my wife and my brother and sister-in-law, so he has a rather docile temperament."
She is not only docile, but also looks so delicate that she really looks like a girl!
Russell had a deep understanding of this. If Uncle Jiu had not fought for his custody and accepted him as his disciple, who knows how he would have been raised by Aunt Zhe.

Alas!
Russell felt a little nauseous. He shook his head violently and threw the idea out of his mind. It was fine to just watch other people wear it. Wearing it himself was simply too…
He raised his head and looked at Li Tianyang who was hiding behind Li Chengyu. His eyes rolled and he gave a wicked smile.
Isn't it easy to coax a child
Russell stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air. The crisp sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Li Tianyang, who poked his head inquiringly and revealed a little eye.
Russell waved his hand, and a little paper man actually poked his head out from his arms, climbed up along his arm, and landed directly in his palm.
He didn't even need to do anything extra, just jumping it back and forth in his palm made Li Tianyang stare.
Russell raised his finger, and the paper man turned into a flying bird and flew straight into Li Tianyang's hand.
He looked at the flying bird in his hand in disbelief, it looked so cute and he laughed with joy.
"Thank you, Brother Russell!"
Seeing that happy look, Li Chengyu opened his mouth and then smiled helplessly. He just said that his son was shy, but in the blink of an eye he became extremely happy.
His son was deceived so easily!
It's just...
Li Chengyu patted Tianyang's head and motioned him to go play aside.
Turning around, he sat at the table with a serious look on his face. Simu raised his eyebrows, knowing that he had something to worry about, and asked directly, "What happened?"
Li Chengyu tapped the table with his fingers and pondered for a moment. "The main thing is that there is a difficult matter that makes me a little embarrassed. After thinking about everyone around me, I can only find the Taoist priest to talk to him."
"oh?"
Simu was a little surprised. Although it was Li Chengyu's first time to come out, butler Li had experience and sailors had traveled all over the world, so what problem could there be
"There's a hole ahead, there's a bunch of pirates there!"
Li Chengyu said a few words simply, "Most of them are fleeing bandits, with a few guns in their hands, robbing houses on the Yangtze River and collecting tolls."
Simu nodded. Not to mention in such a chaotic world, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, such things are not uncommon.
"There are three solutions now. The first is to seek help from the local government. Spend money to bribe them and ask them to send people to protect you!"
Li Chengyu himself was not optimistic about this option. They were not traveling merchants this time, but travelers. There was no profit to be made, so naturally they did not want to invest money in it.
The word "official" has two mouths, and they are very greedy. If they take money to do the job, it's fine. But if they take the money but don't do the job, or if they take the money but don't do urgent things, then it's just a waste of time!
"The second way is to take a detour and avoid going through the bandits. Instead, take a small waterway. But it will take a little longer."
"How far?"
Russell couldn't help but ask. At this moment, he had his hands on his chest. If it was just a few days, he wouldn't care.
What if it takes a long time
You asked your Grandpa Luo to make way for you, haha, do you really think that there is nothing you can do since people who practice Taoism cannot kill people
Anyway, it wasn't me who killed him, it was all done by the paper man!
Li Chengyu pondered for a moment and said, "Calculating the time, it will probably take another month!"
Going up the Yangtze River is the fastest way. If they take a detour, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be. After all, their boats are big and the tributary is too small to pass through.
After all, those pirates are not stupid. If they just occupy a piece of land and force all the ships to take a detour, wouldn’t they be left with nothing
No, it should be drinking water from the Yangtze River
"snort!"
Russell snorted and was about to speak, but was stopped by Simu. He continued to ask, "What is the third method?"
"The third method is, of course, to use the money to buy your life!"
Just as Li Chengyu was about to explain what the life-saving money was, they heard sporadic noises. Everyone turned their heads and saw a silver note coming in through the crack of the tightly closed door.
He staggered to the ground, leaving a bloody handprint.
It’s really a life-saving money!
