Penglai, where the Lan family is located, is not the Penglai that people are familiar with now.

Rather, it is the immortal island that has a mysterious color in history and holds the hope of immortality for countless generations of emperors, and it is the place where Xu Fu took five hundred boys and girls to settle down.

This Penglai is on the sea.

Early the next morning, Xu Weiguo, Lin Xiaoman, Chen Yingshan, Chen Dajun, Fu Jingnian, Kong Rong, and the comatose Chen Boss said goodbye to the people of Kongjia Village and boarded the plane and flew directly to Jiaodong.

He Dakuan returned to the garrison overnight, brought in troops, took over the garrison near Kongjia Village, and locked up all the people brought by Boss Chen.

Chen Yingshan and Chen Dajun put Xu Weiguo and others down at Jiaodong Port, Chen Dajun clamored to go to sea with Lin Xiaoman, but was dragged back to the capital by Chen Yingshan.

Xu Weiguo didn't want to see Chen Dajun, Chen Dajun could only be blinded when he followed, his son hurt himself, Chen Yingshan felt that Chen Dajun and Lin Xiaoman still kept a little distance, and they were good to each other.

Xu Weiguo looked around the port of Jiaodong, and finally chose a fishing boat, and told the owner that he wanted to contract his boat to go to sea, the owner of the boat was called Zhang Fu, about fifty years old, dark-skinned, silent, and the asking price was fair.

After the two negotiated the price, Zhang Fu went home and packed a few changes of clothes, and told his daughter that there was a guest chartered boat to go to sea, and he might not be able to come back in ten days.

Xu Weiguo gave Zhang Fu a deposit of fifty yuan, Zhang Fu only kept five yuan on his body, and the remaining forty-five yuan was all changed out and stuffed into his daughter's hand.

Afraid that his daughter would be reluctant to spend, he also advised: "Dad is not old yet, and he can still earn it." It's okay for you to come back, Dad will raise you both. In the future, Dad won't let you be bullied again. ”

Zhang Fu's daughter held the money in her hand, and tears fell down her eyes and fell on the face of the sleeping baby she was holding in her arms.

Zhang Fu hurriedly took his hand to wipe his daughter's tears.

Zhang Fu was leaving, and his daughter insisted on holding her granddaughter to send him on the boat in person, but he couldn't help it, so he could only let her follow.

When they arrived at the port, Xu Weiguo and others had already purchased some daily necessities and were waiting there.

Zhang Fu turned around and waved at his daughter, "I'm going to get on the boat, it's windy on the beach, go back quickly." ”

Zhang Fu's daughter looked at Xu Weiguo directly.

Zhang Fu hurriedly pushed his daughter and whispered: "That man is very handsome, but you can't keep staring at others, he has a daughter-in-law, and the little daughter-in-law will see it in a while." ”

Zhang Fu's daughter crossed Zhang Fu, smiled at Xu Weiguo, and shouted Camp Commander Xu.

Zhang Fu was stunned.

Does my daughter know the guests of this charter boat?

Xu Weiguo heard someone shouting and immediately looked over, and there was a woman in her thirties standing in front of the shipowner, who was still holding a baby in her arms, and the woman's face was full of smiles.

Hey, it's a little familiar.

Xu Weiguo was silent, and said uncertainly: "Zhang, Zhang Hong?"

Zhang Hong sighed, got closer, and said overjoyed: "It turns out that you chartered my father's boat to go to sea, my father said that your daughter-in-law is also together, Xiaoman is also here, right?"

Xu Weiguo smiled slightly, then turned his head and shouted Xiaoman, "Who do you see coming?"

Lin Xiaoman replied sullenly behind Xu Weiguo's back, "Who is here?"

Because there was wind in the port, Xu Weiguo was afraid that Lin Xiaoman and the child would be blown by the wind, so he asked Lin Xiaoman to stand behind him with the child in his arms, and she was not allowed to look around, he didn't let her stick her head out, so she couldn't stick her head out.

Lin Xiaoman could only hear the whistles of those ships entering and leaving the port, Xu Weiguo's tall figure was in front of her, she couldn't see anything, and she was depressed.

She was already dressed like a dumpling, and she was covered with a scarf wrapped around her head, so she didn't have to worry about the wind blowing at all.

Xu Weiguo heard the depression in her voice, and only remembered this stubble when he found that she didn't come out to look at it at all, and hurriedly moved to the side and pointed in the direction of Zhang Hong for her to see.

Lin Xiaoman and Zhang Hong took a look.

After Zhang Hong was discharged from the hospital, she only wrote a letter to Lin Xiaoman, saying that she was divorced, and she wanted to take her daughter back to her hometown in Jiaodong, and wished Xu Weiguo and Lin Xiaoman love and grow old together, and wished Xu Mingyue to grow up quickly and be healthy.

At this meeting, Lin Xiaoman found that although Zhang Hong was dark and thin, he was very energetic, and his eyes gradually had a glow.

Zhang Nuannuan in her arms also had some flesh on her face, not as weak as before.

The two women got together and chatted for a while.

You praise my daughter for being good-looking, and I praise your daughter for being cute the longer she is.

At the end of the praise, the two looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere was unusually joyful.

Xu Weiguo was left aside, he looked at Zhang Fu, who was standing cramped in the distance, and called out to the shipowner.

Zhang Fu walked up crampedly and said to Xu Weiguo: "That, I didn't know that you and my family Honghong knew each other before, if I had known about this, I wouldn't have taken your money." ”

Zhang Fu opened his mouth, and Zhang Hong immediately took out one hand to dig out his pocket, insisting on returning the deposit to Xu Weiguo.

"If it weren't for you husband and wife, my warmth would have been gone a long time ago, and we can't collect this money anyway.

My dad started running boats when he was young, and he went to the South Seas with people in the farthest places, and he is a good helmsman who is known for us here, and he is also familiar with this part of the sea, so you have found him in the right place.

My dad really doesn't like to talk, but he is a very nice person. After my mom died, my dad didn't worry about me leaving me alone at home, and every time he ran the boat, he took me with him, and I could also take the helm to help him.

It's just that my dad thinks that there are storms at sea from time to time, and the climate is unpredictable, and it is not as stable as on land, so he insisted that I marry far away, and did not want me to drift on the sea for many years like him.

Originally, there were three boatmen on my father's ship, one of whom was the co-helmsman, and my dad took turns to take charge of the ship during the night, but the co-helmsman Ah Ming's daughter-in-law was going to give birth these days, and Ah Ming refused to go to sea again, and wanted to stay by his daughter-in-law's side to take care of it.

Now there is a shortage of rotating co-helmsmen on this ship, otherwise, I will also go to sea with you, and when I am bored, I can talk to Xiaoman and exchange experiences with children?"

When Zhang Hong saw Lin Xiaoman, he was reluctant to go back, so he said that he wanted to go to sea with him.

Zhang Fu couldn't resist her, so he looked at Xu Weiguo and waited for him to make up his mind.

Xu Weiguo thought about it, if Zhang Hong was on the boat, Lin Xiaoman would not be too boring. Xu Weiguo agreed, Lin Xiaoman was very happy, pulled Zhang Hong and walked to the boat.

At first, Xu Weiguo only told Zhang Fu the approximate location where they were going, and only after getting on the boat did he say the specific place.

Zhang Fu's face was a little bad at that time.

That place, he knew.

People who often run boats are taboo about that place.

Moreover, there is no island there, and it is an accident-prone area, and shipwrecks often occur.

"Are you sure where you're going? Could something have gone wrong? Who told you to go here? Is this person uneasy and wants you to die?"
