On the eve of Chapter 169
"How can this be done?" Han Wu raised two eyebrows, stared at him and said, "The cargo on those two ships cost us nearly half of our savings, how can we keep it? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Thinking that so much silver has been lost, my heart hurts, and I want to stay to protect those goods regardless of the danger."
"Let's let the old slave bring someone over!" Tong Dachuan said, "Lao Han and his brothers are both good at the helm, and it will be safer for the girl to leave them by her side." Besides, the old slave was very familiar with both ships, and it was easier to deal with them. Tong Dachuan felt that having emotions with these people today made the girl embarrassed, and he was very upset. is even more ashamed of Master Yu, so I want to stand up and do something.
"Actually, the two uncles don't have to fight. Xiongfei and Lan Yi glanced at each other and said, "We can find a few people with good water skills to arrange for them on the boat, and ・・・・・・ when the time comes."
"Well, you don't have to talk about it. Lan Xin waved his hand to interrupt them, "I understand everyone's intentions, but since my words have been spoken, there is absolutely no reason to take them back." Since I brought everyone out, it is my duty to bring them back. As long as the people are not injured and everyone goes back safely, even if all the goods are destroyed, I feel that I have earned it. Lan Xin's tone was soft, but sonorous and powerful.
"Girl・・・・・・" Han Wu squirmed his lips, stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while. Tong Dachuan was the most emotional, his eyes were red with excitement, and he felt that he had done something inappropriately today. Han Da, Lan Yi and Xiongfei were also very moved, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
The corners of Lan Xin's mouth curled slightly, and when he saw them like this, he just smiled and said disappreciatively: "This matter is not too late, since it has been decided, let's do it immediately." ”
"Yes, girl, we'll arrange it. Han Da bowed and said. The others nodded their heads and solemnly reassured.
"Well, let's do it. Lan Xin nodded with satisfaction, "In terms of manpower allocation and scheduling, you can negotiate." Before noon, I will be informed. After lunch, I started to act and try to arrange everything before dinner. ”
"Rest assured, girl, we will do it. Tong Dachuan bowed and said, and the others also nodded. After Lan Xin left, they discussed which part each person was responsible for, and after discussing it, they went to work separately.
When Lan Xin returned to the cabin, he collapsed limply on the low couch, squinting his eyes, pressing his temples, and letting out a long breath. At this hour, the battle of wits and courage is really exhausting! But fortunately, they were finally pacified, and there was no infighting, which was better than anything else.
After this battle, those people were basically cleaned up. In addition to the pressure on their identities, they are now somewhat convinced of themselves. The rest don't be too anxious, the coming day will be long, step by step to make them happy and convinced of themselves, and it will be more handy to do things. Thinking of this, Lan Xin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.
"Girl, are you tired?" Qinghe looked at her girl lying on the couch, humming and chirping, asked distressedly, walked over, gently kneaded her head, and complained in her mouth, "These people are really, they look a lot older, and they do things like children." Just because they have never been here before, and they are going to encounter wind and rain again, so they will be in a mood!
Seeing the smile on Lan Xin's lips, Qinghe glared at her eyes and said with disgust: "Ouch, girl, can you still laugh?" At that time, the slave maid was standing on the side, but they were all dying, and they really sweated for you. If this is on land, if they want to make trouble, they can make trouble, and it is a big deal to scatter in two and go their own way. But this is on the sea, everywhere is water, and there is no place to walk. What should we do if they all pick on each other?" she felt that her girl's heart was really big, and she could still laugh at this juncture. If she were to die, she would be worried!
Lan Xin closed his eyes and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid of them making trouble, I'm afraid that they won't make trouble!" The reason why Tong Dachuan and the three of them were willing to go to sea with her was not only because of the residual power of her father, but also because she had been nesting in Zhuangzi all these years, and wanted to return to the sea to find the feeling of being dominant.
And Lan Yi and they are willing to follow because of the deterrence of Moyun Valley. The mixing of two teams with different goals, experiences, and habits, and the fact that neither of them had much faith in her, it was only a matter of time before a conflict arose.
"Girl, you seem to have expected this day for a long time, and you are happy to see it happen!" Qinghe pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly, very incomprehensible to Lan Xin's strange idea.
"Uncle Tong and the two Han brothers, Lan Yi and Xiongfei, each has their own advantages, if we want to make no mistakes this time, we need to work together between them. Lan Xin explained.
Qinghe raised his two eyebrows, wrinkled them together, and asked puzzledly, "But what does this have to do with their red faces?"
Lan Xin closed his eyes, already a little sleepy. After a while, he casually explained: "The most taboo thing for a team is to be in harmony with each other, so putting things on the bright side will save a lot of trouble in the future." ”
"What the girl means is that if there is anything, everyone should say it in front of the gong, and don't mumble behind your back. After a long time, the contradiction between the two sides will become deeper and deeper, right?" Qinghe's hand kept moving, and his voice said softly, "This reminds the slave of a painting she saw before. Swans, tortoises, and dogs, all while pulling a car stuck in a swamp. The swan flew into the sky and pulled the rope around his legs to the sky, the turtle crawled into the sea and pulled the cart into the river with the rope around his neck, and the dog bit the rope and pulled the lil into the river. Three animals in three directions, they couldn't get the car out of the swamp for half a minute, despite all their strength.
In the same way, if Uncle Tong and Lan Yi and Xiongfei are like this, they all do things according to their own will, then ・・・・・・" Hearing Lan Xin's even breathing, she looked down in surprise and saw that Lan Xin was already asleep. Qinghe pouted, feeling a little aggrieved in her heart. I finally played it once, and when I said such philosophical words, her girl actually fell asleep, which was really shameless.
Seeing Lan Xin's frowning brow and the tiredness on her face, she stretched out her hand to gently smooth it for her. Alas, Qinghe couldn't help sighing, when she was in the Zhou family, the girl didn't need to worry about it like this, but the girl was always constrained by people everywhere and had a depressed life. Now, the girl doesn't have to look at people's faces, she can live a little more wantonly. But he is overwhelmed by everything, working hard, and he has to rely on himself for everything. Alas, it's a time when everything doesn't go your way.
Qinghe took out a thin blanket from the bed, gently put it on Lan Xin's body, and gently exited the cabin.
The sun sinks to the bottom of the sea, and night envelops the entire sea. A dark cloud obscured the moon and blocked the soft light. A few stars, winking tiredly, a lethargic look.
Lan Xin stood at the stern of the boat, tightening his cloak that was blown by the sea breeze. Tonight's sea breeze was heavier than ever, and there was a smell of fish. Lan Xin stood motionless, letting the sea breeze blow her cheeks and ruffle her hair.
All the people were transferred to the big boat, and the two boats that sailed out of the Zhuangzi were attached to the stern of the big ship. There were no lights, and the two ships were pitch black, and only the general outline could be seen, like two abandoned children.
A fierce sea breeze blew on her face, smashing her nose and tears streaming down her face. Lan Xin didn't reach out to wipe it, and he was worried about being seen by others. She said that she was arrogant in the morning, but if she really came to this point, her heart would still hurt. Not only for these goods, but also for those two ships. It was a boat that followed her father to the north and south, and experienced many ups and downs, and it also carried her thoughts about her father. Now it will be destroyed in her hands. I killed all this with my own hands, and there was an indescribable sourness in my heart.
Daddy's Heavenly Spirit will forgive him, right?" Lan Xin thought to himself. It is precisely because of her father's benevolence and righteousness that she will be protected by Lu Sheng and the current emperor. As the daughter of the Yu family, she naturally will not only care about her immediate interests, but ignore those lives. She has the responsibility and obligation to pass on this benevolence.
Qinghe looked at the two ships in the haze, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did we really give up those two ships and the goods on board?" It's nearly half of our family business that has been lost!" Thinking about how much silver has been wasted like this, thinking about the girl's difficulty during this time, my heart is like breaking a five-flavor bottle, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and mixed tastes.
"The silver is gone, and we can earn it again. But if there is no one, there is really nothing. Lan Xin sighed in a low voice, his eyes staring at the two ships tightly, this seemed to be said to Qinghe, but it was more like saying it to himself.
It was getting darker and darker, and the stars finally couldn't hold it anymore and closed their eyes. The wind lights on the stern of the boat shook even more. Lan Xin brushed her hair, wiped the tears on her face, and said softly, "Let's go back." After saying that, he and Qinghe walked to the cabin.
When I met Uncle Han and Lan Yi who were patrolling around, they were carrying lanterns in their hands, and the dim light reflected on their faces, and the solemnity on their faces could be clearly seen. After a salute, she whispered, "I'll leave the safety of the ship to a few people." I still say that there is nothing about the loss of goods, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of people. If necessary, you can get rid of those two ships and just give up the cargo. ”
"Don't worry, girl, the old slave knows. Han Wu said respectfully. There was no more nonchalant perfunctory tone in his calm tone.
"Hmm. Lan Xin nodded, indicating that he understood. I was very satisfied with the changes in Han Wu's tone and details. Immediately, he instructed with concern, "A few of you can take turns on duty, and you should take care of yourself." ”
"That's what the girl said. Lan Yi arched his hand and replied, "We have already assigned it, and Fifth Uncle and I will take someone to take charge of the first half of the night." Uncle Han, Uncle Tong and Xiongfei were in charge of the second half of the night. We will definitely take care to ensure the safety of the entire ship. Lan Yi's words were sonorous and powerful, and they were unprovokedly convincing. Lan Xin felt that her tight heart was also a little relieved.
The night was dark and dreary, except for the wind lamps at the bow and stern of the ship, which kept shaking, emitting a dim, weak light. The humidity in the sea breeze is getting heavier and heavier, and the fishy smell is getting thicker and thicker.
Lan Xin sat by the window, looking at the dark night, and felt nervous for a while. Tonight was destined to be an unquiet night, but she couldn't do anything but wait, and this feeling was maddening. The manic sea breeze blew out the candles on the table again. Qinghe took out the fire fold and lit the candle again. But the wind was too strong, and as soon as she lit it, it was blown out again.
Lan Xin looked at the cabin that had fallen into darkness again, and raised her hand to close the window. After Qinghe lit the candle, he hurriedly covered it with both hands, and was relieved to see Lan Xin close the window.
Lan Xin sat at the table, looked at the flickering candle flame, and commanded softly, "The wind is strong tonight, and the candle can't be lit." Let's put out the candles and go to bed, so as to save some resources on board. ”
Qinghe hurriedly got up and went over to help her make the bed. After laying it out, Lan Xin handed over another thin blanket and said, "If you sleep on the collapse, it will be colder." Add a blanket. "Since they got on the ship, Qinghe and Lan Xin have slept in two cabins. It's just that after arriving at the big ship today, the room was a little nervous, and Lan Xin proposed that she and Qinghe live in the same cabin. In this way, the vacant cabin can be arranged for other people.
"No, girl, the slave is not cold. Qinghe hurriedly waved his hand, retreated again and again, and refused. This blanket is often covered by Lan Xin himself, and it is relatively thicker. Now Lan Xin handed her the things, how could she accept it?
"Look at your useless appearance, it's just a blanket, look at what scares you. Lan Xin glared at him and said angrily, "Okay, when you go out, you don't have so much to pay attention to, cover it for you, you can cover it." If you suffer from the wind and cold, in this situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine, everything is inconvenient on the sea, that is the most troublesome thing. Lan Xin knew that Qinghe felt sorry for herself, and she also knew where her weakness was.
Qinghe had no choice but to take the blanket, curtsy and said, "The slave thanked the girl." "Alright, let's rest early!" Lan Xin commanded softly. So saying, he took off his outer garment and lay down on the bed.
Lan Xin lay on the bed, looking at the dark night through the window.
