Chapter 106: Crossing [2]
The village chief smiled innocently, "Mr. Steward, there is a little girl from outside the river here, I hope to take your boat back to the river!"
"Oh?" Mr. Steward turned his gaze to Ji Yan, his eyes flashed, and he jumped down from the boat to take a closer look.
Ji Yan frowned slightly, she was not used to being observed like this.
After a long time, the steward pretended to be casual and said, "It's okay to take a boat, but it's not free!"
"How many coins do you want?"
"We don't want gold!"
"Then what do you want?" Ji Yan frowned, do you want treasures? She has a lot of them, but it is inconvenient to take them out.
"Well......" said the steward, after a pause, pointing to her ring, "how is your ring?"
Ji Yan raised his left hand and looked at him with a sneer, "This, you can't afford it!"
Not to mention that she had already signed a soul contract with the Upper Valley Ring, as long as the soul was still in them, it could not be separated; besides, this was the Puluo Continent that didn't even have a heavenly weapon, and the Upper Valley Ring was an artifact, so he didn't have to afford it even if he was bankrupt!
Mr. Steward smiled, "Just kidding." The captain made it a rule that if someone wanted something on board, he had to exchange it for his most precious and mundane items, and the same was true for boating. For example, these villagers, they all trade the fish they rely on for supplies!"
The most precious and the most ordinary? Ji Yan raised his left eyebrow lightly, looking at this steward with a smile. Then he cut off a section of his hair with the wind blade and handed it to him, "This is the most important thing I can handle, and I think it should also meet your rules." ”
No one can deny the importance of hair to a girl, Ji Yan is taking advantage of this loophole, anyway, her hair is long, cut a little bit and use it as a haircut, and she can take a boat, why not?
Mr. Steward took the little section of his hair, and laughed a little, it was probably the most worthless thing they had ever received, but he couldn't refute it.
The words are all said, and it is impossible to regret it, but there can be small difficulties. So he jumped back to the high eaves of the boat, bowed his head, and said, "I can let you ride, but if you can't get on yourself, don't worry about me!" ”
The hull of the ship is at least three meters above the dock, the cargo lifting has ended, and he still doesn't believe that this little girl can jump up like him!
Ji Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, turned around to say goodbye to the village chief, and also gave him some gold coins. The village chief naturally refused in every possible way, and she could only force it on him.
Then, she took out a long rope from the spatial ring, which she had purchased when she came to the Western Continent. There was a metal barb tied to one end of the rope, Ji Yan carried the end with a barb, threw the hook on the eaves of the boat a few times, and then boarded the big boat with the help of force.
The movements were swift and did not drag the mud and water, and before the steward could react she had already landed on the deck, and the sailors on the deck looked at her with surprised expressions. Mr. Steward gave them a look, and their attention returned to their work.
"Hebo, you take her to the guest room to rest, don't forget to explain some important precautions!"
"Important" -- these three words he bit harder, as if he was emphasizing something.
He was called a rickety old sailor, whose face and the skin on his hands were wrinkled like an old tree, but his eyes were bright and spirited. He put down the work in his hand and walked over, and his movements were quite vigorous.
"Little girl, please come with me!"
He took her to a separate room, which was at the stern of the boat, and there was hardly a sailor nearby, which was a relatively remote place.
The guest rooms are not big but gorgeous, with silk quilts, nanmu tables, various gems inlaid on the walls, and night pearls for lighting. Ji Yan glanced at her casually, she didn't have much expression on her face, she had seen more gorgeous ones in her previous life, and these didn't attract her, not to mention that Hebo had been secretly observing her.
He Bo frowned slightly, a little unhappy with her indifferent reaction, but he did not forget the "important matters" to be explained:
"There's a lot of cargo on board, don't move around if you don't have anything to do, especially at night. Three meals a day will be brought to you, the bathroom is ten meters to the left, and you have to close the door when you sleep at night!"
What He Bo explained was very simple, Ji Yan pondered for a while, and almost every sentence had the meaning of emphasizing that she should not move around.
Combined with Hebo's disapproving expression, she suddenly wondered if this gorgeous decoration was used to attract guests to stay in the room?
Hehe, interesting!
The steward went to the captain's room after registering the goods, still holding the black hair that Ji Yan had given up in his hand. One end of the black hair was tied with a ribbon, apparently arranged by him.
The captain decorated the guest room as a jeweled gold house, but his own room was made simple and simple, with only a few decorations neatly arranged, and even he himself was neatly dressed and meticulous.
The steward walked in and saluted the man sitting on his back.
"Captain, a little girl has appeared to-day, and I suspect that it is the one you have prophesied to be waiting for, so you have taken her on board of your own accord! and a piece of her hair is here!" said the steward, handing it up.
The chair in which the captain sat had been transformed by craftsmen to turn at will, and he turned it around when he heard the sound. The physiognomy is that of a man of about thirty, fair-skinned and handsome, and he is extremely well maintained.
His slender fingers took the hair, and he looked at it over and over for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more his brow became more and more furrowed.
I didn't see anything, how could it be?
The steward also began to get nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what's the problem?"
The captain raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, then rolled up his cuffs, and his white arms instantly turned beastly, covered with strange scales. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a piece, and the bloody scales immediately turned into a tortoiseshell-like thing as soon as they broke away from his body.
He got up and threw the tortoise shell and his hair into the brazier at the same time, opened his lips, and read out a mysterious passage of French. At the end of the French text, a golden ancient text flashed on the "tortoise shell", and it was fleeting!
At the same time, his brow furrowed even tighter!
"Captain?" Mr. Steward tried to speak, but the captain's reaction was too unusual.
"Strange thing, I can't even understand it!" the man muttered to himself, lowering his sleeves and sitting back in his chair in thought.
The steward respectfully followed, "Is that little girl a person who is destined?"
The captain reclined with his legs crossed, tapping the table with one hand.
"The tortoiseshell shows that she is free from and beyond fate, and I don't understand her future at all, so I'm not very sure!"
"How so?" said the steward, a little annoyed.
He followed the captain for many years, and he knew some divination. There have been many kinds of inconsistencies in the Puluo continent for nearly a thousand years, and only the destined people can resolve them, and they have been drifting on the Zimu River for all these years to cross the people's journey.
But they can't find the destined person, if one day they can't suppress the rebellion in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the entire continent will lose peace!xh118
