Chapter 209: Entangled
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Ah Ling's teeth chattered, holding Boss Ding's arm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This situation is really very strange, it is clear that they staggered yesterday, and the two ships were sailing in different directions, why did they meet again today? Are they lost? No, they are still on the established route. That is to say, the Qiao family's ship turned around and followed.
How can a ship with no one turn around and keep up?
"Grandpa, is it ...... direction of the water flow" Ah Lang said halfway through, and he couldn't go on. He also grew up on the Ming River, and he didn't know the direction of the flow of the Ming River?
"Girl," Boss Ding looked at Lu Mingshu, "Do you think there is something abnormal on this ship?"
No matter how experienced he is, he has to ask for help at this time. The gap between the fusion realm and the inner rest realm is especially obvious at this time.
Lu Mingshu shook his head slowly: "There is no one, and there is no trace of any magic or formation." ”
Boss Ding has been messing around on the Ming River for fifty or sixty years, and he has never seen such a strange thing. Where did the Qiao family go, and why did the ship follow a day later?
"Grandpa, there is an island near here, should we take the Qiao family's boat to shore there?"
Boss Ding thought for a long time and said, "Unknown things, it's best not to be too curious, let's leave it alone." ”
"Alright then......"
The two boats staggered past again, drifting apart.
The atmosphere on the ship became silent, and everyone had the same question in their hearts: will they meet this ship again tomorrow?
Early in the morning, seeing the boat that appeared in the fog, Ah Ling was the first to collapse: "Here it is, here it is again!"
Lu Mingshu looked at the ship and asked, "There is no problem with our route for the past two days, right?"
"Nope. Ah Lang's face was also ugly, and his lips were pale, "I have been staring at it until now yesterday, and it is normal to pass by several small islands on the way." ”
"Show me the map. ”
Ah Lang nodded, and took out an old handmade map from the house.
This map, which is the crystallization of several generations, depicts a route that is difficult for others to understand, and Ah Lang pointed to a point on it: "The day before yesterday, we met the Qiao family's ship here." Yesterday was here, with islands around, and there is no mistake. Today it is here, and the contrast is clear. ”
Although it is easy to get lost, it is a river, not a sea. If you are not disturbed by the fog, or get lost in the huge tributaries, it is not difficult to locate them.
"Since there is no problem with our route, there is only one possibility. Lu Mingshu said.
The three ancestors and grandchildren of the Ding family all looked over.
She said softly, "This boat is entangled with us." ”
The three of them felt cold in their hearts when they heard this.
"Don't scare us, girl. "Ah Ling looks like she's about to cry.
Lu Mingshu was very calm: "It's easy to verify this, let's try again and see if it will catch up tomorrow." ”
Day 4 & 5......
For five days in a row, Qiao's ship was haunted like a ghost.
"What should I do?" said Ling.
"Girl?" Boss Ding looked at Lu Mingshu with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Lu Mingshu asked Ah Lang: "What do you think?"
Ah Lang gritted his teeth: "Since it is entangled with us, let's see what happens!"
"What do you think?"
"Let's take this ship with us and see what tricks we can make!"
Lu Mingshu nodded: "It's just like this, I'm afraid it's not okay, I plan to live in that boat tonight." ”
Ah Ling exclaimed: "Girl!"
It's scary enough to be followed by a "ghost ship", and she still wants to live in it?
"I'll go too!" Ah Lang gritted his teeth, "I know how to hold the boat, and if something happens, I can help." ”
"Brother!" called Ah Ling.
Ah Lang has made up his mind: "That's it." If you are really entangled, it makes no difference on which ship. ”
"Grandpa!" Ah Ling had no choice but to look at Boss Ding for help.
Boss Ding stroked his beard and frowned: "Ah Lang, this is very dangerous." ”
"Grandpa, it's been five days, can we still be lucky? If nothing happens, it doesn't matter if I go. If anything, we have to find out the truth, right?"
"But......" Boss Ding thought of his son who died early, and said, "Grandpa go, you stay!"
"No!" Ah Lang was resolute, "You are old and not as flexible as me. ”
Boss Ding couldn't resist him, so he could only go.
Ah Lang jumped on the boat, pulled the rope over, and tied the two boats together.
Lu Mingshu went in and took a look. There was no difference between the boat and the first day, and the tea on the table was still warm.
Her heart moved, and she asked, "When was the last time you saw the Qiao family's ship?"
Ah Lang, who was tying the rope at the stern of the boat, was stunned: "It seems to be ...... Two months ago?"
"The Qiao family is the same as you, when there is no business, they stop at that ferry?"
Ah Lang shook his head: "We sail people, and we rarely fix which ferry port to stop, and we usually encounter whichever one is which." ”
"The last time we met, did the Qiao family take over any business?"
Boss Ding happened to come over, heard this, and said, "Girl, the last time we met, the old man and the old man of the Qiao family had a drink, and he said that he took the order and went to Beiming. By time, it's almost time to return. ”
Going to Beiming is a big order, and it will take at least two months. If you calculate it this way, the Qiao family has a problem with this order.
"Did he say, what kind of guest is it?"
"No, I just know that it is a regular customer who has made an appointment. ”
"Is it possible that they were in distress and abandoned the ship?"
Boss Ding immediately shook his head: "Even if you abandon the ship and leave, you won't take anything with you." The ship is our whole net worth, and this is equivalent to losing all the things of our ancestors. Pointing to the house, "Look, I haven't seen anyone for days, and there's no ash in the ship." ”
This is exactly what Lu Mingshu is puzzled about.
"Uncle, you have been begging for a life in Minghe for decades, have you ever encountered a similar strange thing?"
Boss Ding shook his head at first, then thought of something, and said: "In the early years, I once encountered a boat lost in the Ming River, and it was obviously missing for several years, but they said that it was only ten days. ”
"Then you know this road, right?"
Boss Ding patted his chest: "This girl can rest assured, this road has been taken by our ancestors for generations, and we will not get lost." ”
Lu Mingshu didn't want to ask the question of getting lost, but Boss Ding said the same.
"Ah Lang and I stay on this boat tonight, the old man and Ah Ling should be vigilant, if there is a problem, you cut the rope and go first. ”
"This ......" is not righteous to leave a guest, let alone his own grandchildren.
"As long as I can get out, I will take Ah Lang back, and if it doesn't work, I will protect him. ”
If you want to say that Boss Ding cares about the most, it is probably Ah Lang's life. After experiencing the loss of a son, he valued his grandson's life even more. (To be continued.) )
