At dusk, the black clouds in the sky finally condensed and rained, and the sky and the earth were misty.
Although the wind is not too strong, no old ship will bet that the wind will always be so small.
So near the shore, ships of all sizes began to moor.
"Which ship boss is that, doesn't he have eyes? Why did you stop the ship among us?" a guy who was busy on a big boat said dissatisfiedly.
They are a fleet of four large ships berthing here, and a small boat caught between them is an eye-catcher.
"I don't understand the rules, anyone can be the boss of the boat these days." A companion said in agreement.
However, it had already started to rain at this time, and there were "swooshing" rain everywhere, and their boat was also in no way.
At this time, in the cabin of the small boat, the old man was drinking alone, and the others had already drunk and slept.
The boat was exhausted, and the boss of the boat asked the guy to scoop out some wine from the barrel, but he made everyone drink some wine to relieve fatigue.
The raindrops outside the ship knocked on the window mullions and made a dense and indistinguishable noise, but it made the old man uneasy.
Shang Zhen those few people are "official staff", naturally it is impossible to live with them.
Of course the old man did not dare to sleep with Shang Zhen and the others.
Just now, the old man took the opportunity of going outside to relieve himself and took a look at the cabin where Shang Zhen and them were staying.
There was no movement in the dark there, and some of them were already asleep in the rainy night when they wanted to come to Shangzhen.
After all, the space on the ship was limited, and they refused to get off the ship because of Shang Zhen a few days ago.
Who would call them an "official messenger"
In desperation, the old man had no choice but to ask the guy to take out some wine barrels from the storage room and tie them on the outside deck, making the place for Shang Zhen and them to rest as a resting place.
In the process of contact with Shang Zhen and the others, the old man had already guessed that Shang Zhen Xitang would not be water.
And just before it rained, he looked back on the boat, and the man on the other boat who was shot into the water by Shang's shock seemed to be fine.
Although I don't know the specific situation, the veteran can also guess it.
Shang Zhen used a stone to hurt a fellow on another boat, such as hitting his calf and kicking him into the water.
Obviously, the people behind the naval patrol camp came from Bennai, and the boatman knew that someone fell into the water on the other end.
But the people in the patrol camp didn’t know. When they saw someone falling into the water, they would think that a murderer would jump into the sea with a guilty conscience seeing them chasing them. The bird boat in the patrol camp would not go up
Taking advantage of this effort, Shang Zhen helped him hide their boat behind the other big boats.
As a result, it was going to rain again, and the people in the patrol camp didn't even notice them!
These murderers lived the life of licking blood from the knife edge, and their brains turned so fast!
Alas, the seemingly honest boy named Shang said that they would disembark in the past two days and don't know when they can get on.
The hatch has been plugged in by him.
His boat is also the daily thing that pulls some wine barrel cloth.
The rainy night was at sea again, and the old man was not afraid that Shang Zhen and the others would make some monsters, and eventually he heard the sound of the rain and fell asleep.
And there was no light in the dark cabin in the cabin where the four of them usually stayed in Shang Zhen, who knows what Shang Zhen was doing.
But just in the second half of the night, when the sound of the rain hitting the window lattice was slightly lower, in the darkness of the cabin, the voice of Shang Zhen suddenly sounded: "Wake up all, let's go."
"Let's go now, I'm almost falling asleep." This is the voice of Bai Yuchuan who is yawning.
"Didn't that borrow your light from the flower picker?" It was the voice of the wedding candy that expressed dissatisfaction.
"Don't fight, and wake up the boatman." This was Nazha's voice.
As a result, no one spoke any more, Xixi's trivial voice sounded, and there was light in their cabin.
It's just that the light is facing downwards, and this is the rain lamp invented by Shang Zhen!
Shang Zhen only found a small flower pot on the ship, and found a thin wooden board to drill six or seven small holes in it.
A few more lighted candles were inserted on the wooden board, and then the flower pot was buckled on the wooden board again.
Then pull the rope tied to the board from the small hole at the bottom of the flowerpot.
Then, plug the small hole with a damp cloth, so that the rain lamp is made.
The flowerpot that was turned upside down was naturally rain-proof, but the firelight inside was shining from the small holes below.
They didn't plan to spend all the time on this boat during the business shock, don't look at them as if nothing happened during the day.
You know, if the boss of the ship secretly reported to the officer, or if an official navy came to check, then they would have nowhere to escape!
Shangzhen, Xitang, and Nazha are not watery at all!
According to Shang Zhen's idea, they must learn to swim before going further south.
Bai Yuchuan didn't want to get off the boat, but he only occupied one of the four people. After all, Bai Yuchuan didn't want to face the boat boss and his guys alone.
And the reason why they chose to disembark on this rainy night was that they naturally didn't want the boss of the boat to figure out when they got off the boat.
Of course, they also hope that through their goodwill, the boss of the ship will not report to officials.
They can only do this.
Shang Zhen and Xitang didn't want to kill Han Chinese like them at all.
But according to Bai Yuchuan's own statement, Bai Yuchuan is a romantic and suave character. It is possible to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is possible to steal and deceive the powerful, but he has never killed anyone!
The night rain was still falling, but under the illumination of the rain lamp invented by Shang Zhen, the wine barrel that had been tied to the pole of the ship was pushed down.
With the sound of prying, the lids of the four wooden wine barrels were lifted off, and then on this rainy night, a strong aroma of wine spread out on this shallow water boat!
The four empty wooden barrels were tied together again, and then put into the water by rope.
Shang Zhen, Xitang, and Nazha followed the rope to their respective barrels.
The last one came down to Baiyuchuan, who called Baiyuchuan Huishui.
"You didn't remember the wrong direction?" In the sound of the rain, the one who was sitting in the barrel was paddling the water with a stolen wooden oar.
"It can't be wrong." Shang Zhen said.
"If it's wrong, you can really get the sea to feed the bastard!" Bai Yuchuan said with a snort.
"It's okay, you know water." Nazha said.
After that, Bai Yuchuan stopped speaking.
To say that Bai Yuchuan is very demeanor when he is with Xitang now, but he still pays attention to it when he gets together with Na.
And that's weird. Although the four of them are together every day, the veil that draped over their faces has never been taken off again.
Shang Zhen and Xitang think that Nazha is also good, so that Bai Yuchuan, the "flower-picking thief," will not be upset.
What Bai Yuchuan thought was how to make Nazha take the initiative to lift the veil.
Such a romantic and suave character, a woman from the Western Regions would not let herself see it, which hurts his self-esteem too much!
The rainy night passed like this. When the old man pushed the hatch in the morning, he heard a "pound" sound from the door.
When he looked behind the door under the raindrops, he found a small bag of fine silver tassels hanging there.
When he looked on the deck again, he realized that there were four barrels of wine missing on his boat.
