Chapter 161: The Seashore
The sky was gloomy, black clouds were pressing the horizon in the distance, and Xiahou was hurrying to the small fishing village in front, "Uncle, do you know where there is a boat to go to sea?"
Xiahou is leaving the Wushuang City region has been nearly half a month, this half a month, Xiahou Zheng has been rushing to the sea, today finally saw the sea, Xiahou Zheng can't wait to inquire about going to sea щww. lā
"Where are you going?" The uncle is a man in his forties, with a very honest face, who has always lived in a fishing village, and is a fisherman who does his duty and makes a living by fishing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle, I'm going to Iron Heart Island, do you know this place?" asked Xiahou Zheng.
"I haven't heard of Tiexin Island, you can go to the Zheng family in the town and ask, I heard that the Zheng family has a large fleet, which haunts the sea all year round, and many people on the islands on the sea exchange supplies with them. The uncle said in a very awe-inspiring tone.
Fishermen living near the sea have a reverence for the sea, which is built up through the stories of their elders and their own experiences, and then deepens as they survive in the waves.
For those who can conquer the sea, who can sail freely on the sea, these small fishermen are even more in awe.
"Then how do you get to the town?" Xiahou was deciding to go to the town to have a look.
"Go north, walk about five miles and you'll be there!" the uncle laughed.
"No, I'm from there, I don't see any small towns. Xiahou Zheng was puzzled, he had just come from the north, and he had seen this fishing village within a radius of ten miles.
"You must have come from another fork in the road, you go all the way like this, don't go the way you came, you will be there soon. Uncle explained.
"Thank you!" Xia Hou was recalling that when he came, there was indeed a road to the north, but he didn't expect that this was like the right way to return.
The Zheng family is the largest family in Haicheng, doing business at sea, many things on the sea are not available on land, and the sea needs the supply of grain, vegetables and fruits on land from time to time, the Zheng family has achieved huge benefits by earning the price difference between the two sides, and the first ancestor of the Zheng family has accumulated huge wealth because of this, so as to rise by the sea.
Longwang Town is the port where the Zheng family enters the sea, and it is also the transit station for all the Zheng family's trade materials to go to sea.
There is no one in the town who does not know the Zheng family, and Xiahou is inquiring a little, and he has received countless news from the Zheng family.
After spending a little money, Xiahou Zheng quickly found the shop that the Zheng family was in charge of in Longwang Town, this is where the Zheng family talks business, generally the Zheng family will transport the things brought back by sea to Haicheng, but they will also leave some here for the residents of the town, which is considered their welfare to the town, plus they are usually kind to others, so they have not encountered any trouble in the town.
"Iron Heart Island, that's not close, if the weather is good, you will need to sail for a day to get there!" said the shopkeeper.
Xia Hou was thinking that he was going to raise the price, so he was displeased, so he directly took out a silver ingot and put it on the table and pushed it to the steward.
The steward smiled calmly and pushed the silver ingot back, "Childe misunderstood, I didn't mean that, the Zheng family has always done business fairly, how can they sit on the ground and raise the price, is that not in line with the rules of the Zheng family?"
Xiahou Zheng nodded awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, what does that mean?"
The steward didn't answer Xiahou Zheng's question, looked out the window, and said, "What does Childe think of the weather outside?"
Xiahou Zheng also followed his gaze to look out the window, the sky was full of dark clouds, black and oppressive, occasionally a flash of lightning flashed, but the rain had not yet fallen, which was particularly depressing.
The wind was blowing on the ground, and the sand and gravel on the ground were flying, and there were few pedestrians on the road, coming and going in a hurry.
Xiahou Zheng suddenly realized it, but he didn't know much about it, and asked, "Isn't this kind of weather suitable for going to sea?"
"It's a hurricane at sea, it's good if it's closer, if the ship goes too far, it's basically difficult to come back!" The steward's face revealed a faint helplessness, after all, every day of delay will reduce a penny of profit, but the cost of forcibly going to sea is greater, maybe it will be all lost.
Xiahou was walking out of the shop, and when he came, he didn't feel it, but at this time he felt that the sea breeze was blowing his face painfully, and there were small pebbles caught in the sea breeze on his face, Xiahou was squinting his eyes and hurriedly walked into a restaurant.
Filling his stomach, Xiahou is preparing to stay here and go to sea when the weather improves.
However, before he could find a place to live, he heard that Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun had betrayed the Tianxia Society.
Xiahou was trying to inquire about the detailed news, but unfortunately the person who delivered the news didn't know much about it, and only knew that Xiongba sent Nie Feng to Wushuang City to kill Dugu, but he was seriously injured and returned.
Then Xiongba avenged his disciple and took action in person, and soon, Dugu's head was placed in front of the mountain gate of the Tianxia Society, shocking the world.
Then Xiongba accepted Kong Ci as a righteous daughter and wanted to marry Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun snatched Kong Ci on the day of Qin Shuang's wedding, and the senior brothers turned against him, and Bu Jingyun turned out of the world.
After thinking about it, Xiahou is continuing to look for a house, what does Fengyun's matter matter to him?
Finally found a good place, and after negotiating the price, Xiahou was taking out the silver and preparing to pay.
Suddenly, the Huolin Sword on his waist trembled, and a shocking evil aura erupted, and the person who was talking about business with Xiahou turned pale with fright, and hurriedly hid in the room, closing the doors and windows tightly.
Xiahou was furious and grabbed the hilt of the Huolin Sword, the Huolin Sword was still humming, it seemed that a great enemy was born, and it was expressing its indomitability and perseverance in this way.
Xiahou Zheng looked in the northwest direction, all he saw was the boundless dark clouds, retracted his gaze, Xiahou Zheng checked the silver ingot in his hand, and muttered to himself, "The peerless sword is about to be born!"
Xiahou is very hesitant, he has already arrived here, and he will soon be able to reach Iron Heart Island, whether he invites the Iron God or the Iron Slaughter, he will get a sword that is not inferior to the peerless good sword, and even stronger than the peerless good sword!
If he chooses to go back to Baijian Villa, it will take at least a month and a half to go back and forth.
After hesitating for a while, Xiahou Zheng finally made up his mind, since he promised Zhong Mei that he would help Baijian Villa, he couldn't find a reason to excuse himself, at least he had to be worthy of his heart.
"If I go to Baijian Villa, can I ask Master Zhong Mei to melt the sword and forge a sword for me?" Xia Hou was touching his chin, thoughtful.
Xiahou Zheng had thought about this before deciding to go to Tiexin Island, but he had an intuition, he felt that Zhong Mei would not agree, so he was reluctant to seek the near and far and went out to sea to find Tiexin Island.
Now that he is going to Baijian Villa, Xiahou is thinking about it, "Maybe you can give it a try, maybe he won't refuse." ”
Although the Iron God cultivated the legend that he could smelt iron and melt gold, he had never seen the power of the iron smelter, and the Sword Worship Villa had a furnace in the center of the earth, and Zhong Mei was also a master of sword casting, which was undoubtedly more convenient than the Iron Heart Island.
As Xiahou Zheng thought more and more, his heart that initially favored asking Tiexin Island to forge a sword slowly began to lean towards the Sword Worship Villa.
"Even if it doesn't work, after helping Baijian Villa avoid the scourge of annihilation, Zhong Mei may also help himself for the sake of this affection!"
The more Xiahou Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was the right choice to go to Baijian Villa, and even the speed of his journey was much faster!
