The sky is as blue as a wash, and the sea under the setting sun is also so blue, and a round of red sun seems to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and gradually turns from orange to golden red in the blue of the sea and sky. The entire surface www.biquge.info of the sea was dyed red, and the ships and people standing on the deck were shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if draped in a thin veil of red. It really responds to the sentence "The depths of the ocean are sublime and falling, and the blue waves reflect the afterglow." ”

Lan Xin stood at the bow of the boat, letting the moist sea breeze blow on his cheeks, looking at the brilliant red where the water and sky meet, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but deepen. The mind is firm, the mood has changed, and the current state of mind has also changed. The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps. Now that you have come out, you can't always be confined to that small world. And only when the heart comes out, the whole person really comes out.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Qinghe stood beside him, dancing and shouting. Ever since she got on the boat, she has been in a state of excitement every day when she looks at everything that is new. Anyway, in her heart, wherever her girl is, there is home. "Oh, girl, look, the whole sky and the whole sea are dyed red with that red ball, it's so beautiful. Why didn't you think the sunset was beautiful in the house before?"

In the past, in the house, there were always things to do, and I was just busy getting in and out. How can you stand in one place quietly and enjoy the scenery in front of you like now?

The red sun slowly descended, gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea. It took away the light of the day, and it seemed to take away the temperature of the day, and the sea was a little cold, so Lan Xin and Qinghe returned to the cabin. After dinner, Qinghe delivered the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen of the cabin. Lan Xin pushed open the window of the cabin and lay there, quietly looking outside. The moon had already risen, reflected on the surface of the sea, like a white jade plate tempting to reach out and fish. The sea breeze wrinkled the surface of the sea, and the smooth white jade plate was also crumpled.

The ship has sailed out of the Dazong Dynasty, and has obtained the official seal of going to sea in Fuzhou. When you are on the high seas, you have to be extra careful. At night, the ship couldn't go too fast, so Han Da led someone to lower the mast sail and let the ship drift slowly on the sea. Han Wu arranged for people to be on duty at night and patrol, and the bow and stern of the ship were lit with bright lights, so that they could see the sea more clearly.

"Girl, the temperature is low at night, so don't sit by the window, be careful of catching a cold. After Qinghe walked in, he said disapprovingly, and was about to reach out to close the window, but Lan Xin stretched out his hand to block it, "Just open it like this! ”

Qinghe walked to the table, and as soon as he found out the fire fold, Lan Xin stopped him: "Don't light the lamp first." Qinghe looked up at Lan Xin's back suspiciously, didn't ask much, put down the fire fold, and by the moonlight, found a thick cloak in the box and draped it on Lan Xin's body.

Lan Xin raised his hand and gathered the cloak on his body, his eyes continuing to stare at the calm sea. His face was calm, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and he didn't know when the ship from Moyun Valley would be able to come over. Is it going to go wrong? The sea is no better than the land, and I don't know how they will deliver the message.

The stars in the sky kept blinking, and the little starlight crumpled on the surface of the sea, like a layer of glittering silver. "Coo, coo," a white dove broke the silence of the night, standing on the window edge and cooing. is not afraid of people, mung bean's big little eyes, dripping around, looking around.

"How can a pigeon fly in?" Qinghe was startled at first, and then surprised when he calmed down.

Lan Xin's eyes froze, and he looked at the little thing in front of him in surprise. Looking at the not-so-obvious marks on the wings of the white dove, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and his heart finally let go. She grabbed the white pigeon in surprise, and the white pigeon struggled a few times before softening. She untied the note tied to the white dove's leg, gently stroked its head, and whispered, "Thank you, little thing." "Give it to Qinghe and ask her to find something for it to eat.

Qinghe took the white dove, looked at the little thing in his hand in surprise, and looked at her girl suspiciously, seeing that her girl didn't look like she wanted to explain. She didn't ask anything, and as her girl instructed, she obediently went down with the white dove in her arms.

Lan Xin unfolded the note, and then the moonlight saw that the note read: Little master, the old slave arranged for Lan Yi and Xiongfei to lead the team to meet with the little master. Both of them are descendants of the Mo family and the Yun family, and they are also the top among their peers, and they have also seen it when the little master came to the valley last time. Just to make it easier to walk outside, he took a pseudonym. The ship brought twenty guards, eighty archers, two cooks, two doctors, thirty bags of rice grain, five boxes of herbs, in addition to some medicines for treating wind and cold, seasickness and bone-setting, there were also some secret antidote pills, and ・・・・・・ Yunqing introduced all kinds of things brought on the ship in great detail.

Jiang is still old and spicy!Lan Xin shook his head and sighed, the things prepared in Moyun Valley were much more complete than those prepared by Lan Xin himself.

"Knock knock!" Han Da knocked on Lan Xin's cabin door and asked in a low voice, "Girl, have you slept?" ”

Lan Xin casually stuffed the note into the cuffs, adjusted the cloak on his body, and calmed his excitement. Pulling open the hatch, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Uncle Han, what's wrong?"

"Girl, there's a ship coming from the east. They're going to lean over and say they say they know someone. Han Da hung his head and said respectfully.

"Let's go, let's go on deck. Lan Xin said in a low voice, although he already has a score in his heart, it is better to be cautious.

Xue Shan and Qinghe also came over, protecting Lan Xin's side from left to right. Except for a headlight on the bow, all the lights went out. The entire ship was lost in darkness, and archers and crossbowmen were hidden in the shadows, staring warily at all sides.

Lan Xin followed Han Da to the bow of the boat, and after standing still, Qinghe and Xue Shan took a step forward, in order to block her from the first place. Look east by the light. The ship on the opposite side was brightly lit, and the entire ship was exposed. This is also a hint that they have no ill intentions.

"Huh" Lan Xin was startled, the other party was a large ship. The hull of the ship is large, and it seems that the hulls of two ships are juxtaposed side by side, and there are also heavy pavilions on board. Perhaps because the hull of the ship was too big, the other party's ship turned out to be ten masts and ten poles. The banner of white clouds on a black background hunts in the wind.

Lan Xin recognized it as the banner of Moyun Valley. To be on the safe side, she still asked people to wave the flag and asked, "Your name."

After the other party saw the flag clearly, he quickly replied. Han Da translated for Lan Xin: "They said that the two people they led the team were called Lan Yi and Xiongfei. ”

"Well," Lan Xin nodded, "and ask them the purpose of their trip." After the flag was called, the other party replied: On the orders of the elders of the family, I came to escort the girl to the sea, and accompanied the left and right.

"Alright, let them come. Lan Xin nodded and said. After a flag was fought, the big ship soon approached. Lan Xin looked at the "behemoth" in front of her, and thought to herself: This ship is as big as her two ships, no wonder it can hold so many things.

With a pedal in the middle of the two boats, Lan Yi and Xiongfei walked over, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Lan Yi and Xiongfei have seen the girl. Lan Xin carefully looked at the two people in front of him, he had indeed seen them all when he was in Moyun Valley. Lan Yi is a descendant of the Mo family, named Mo Yi. He is of medium height, about thirty years old, married and has a son, a daughter and two children. And Xiongfei is a descendant of the Yun family, named Yunfei. He is about the same height as Lan Yi, a few years older, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with two sons and a daughter. It is said that his eldest son is also very outstanding among his peers.

For the arrival of the two of them, Lan didn't show it on his face, but he was very satisfied in his heart, knowing that the two old men in Moyun Valley were attentive. In a gentle voice, he smiled and said, "Get up! ”

The two said in unison, "Don't dare." Lan Xin smiled and said to the people around him, "These two are Lan Yi and Xiongfei, who often walk on the sea, and have a lot of experience in boating. Then, he introduced Han Da and Han Wu to the two of them, "This is Uncle Han and Uncle Han Wu, both of them are experienced helmsmen, you can discuss things with each other in the future." ”

"I've seen Uncle Han, Uncle Han. In the future, I will ask you for more advice. Lan Yi and Xiongfei bowed and bowed, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.

"Eh, don't dare to be, don't dare to be! The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!" the Han brothers waved their hands and said modestly, bowing their hands and returning the half-salute. Although they were more than twenty years older than the two people in front of them, they didn't dare to hold it up. The words and deeds of just two people should not be underestimated.

Lan Xin stood next to him with a smile, quietly looking at the four people in front of him. The four of them were thoughtful, their eyes were calm and sincere, there was no hypocritical politeness, and there was no arrogance, which made Lan Xin very satisfied. It is also very important for a team to work together. She pointed at Tong Dachuan and said, "This is Uncle Tong, the whole ship depends on him!"

"The girl has lifted up the old slave. Tong Dachuan hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and then said to Lan Yi and Xiongfei, "We are all people around the girl, and we will work together to protect the girl in the future." "I've been running a woodware shop all these years, and I still have the eye to see people. He could see at a glance that the two people in front of him were extraordinary. Although I wonder how the girl managed to attract such an outstanding talent. But he also knows that he should be careful and not ask what he shouldn't ask.

Lan Yi glanced at Tong Dachuan's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and from the cocoon grinding out of his hand, it could be judged that he had been a carpenter for at least thirty years, and his carpentry level was not bad. I had more respect in my heart, and my attitude was naturally more respectful, so I bowed and saluted, "Uncle Tong, please give me more advice in the future." Xiongfei also saluted.

"This is Xue Shan and Qinghe. Lan Xin pointed to the people around him and said, "From now on, we will all be in the same boat." I hope that everyone can understand each other and cooperate with each other to make our ship return safely!"

"Yes, girl!" replied in unison, a sonorous and powerful voice.

The boat was still on the road for a few more days, and the curiosity and excitement that had begun had passed. Lan Xin and Qinghe didn't go to the deck to watch the sunrise and sunset, and count the seabirds. The two nestled quietly in the cabin, Lan Xin took out a book in her hand, and Qinghe was pounding the purse in her hand.

The sea map was given by the head of Qingfeng Road, and Lan Xin was going to the small island covered with red sandalwood trees this time. According to the rag of the head of the Qingfeng Road, it is recorded that there are many strange trees on that island, which are not found in our Dazong Dynasty. Among them, the rosewood, which we regard as a treasure, is the least valuable to them. As the saying goes: you don't like it, I like it!

At that time, in Moyun Valley, when they mentioned rosewood, Lan Xin thought of that small island. First, for her long-term plan to go to sea, she had to transport some rosewood back to build a treasure ship. Second, I'm here to test the waters. Let the people around you familiarize yourself with it, so as not to mess up when it comes to the voyage.

Moreover, according to the records of the Qingfeng Dao Chief, although this sea area is very close to the Great Sect Dynasty, few people know about it, so naturally there are not so many pirates. Compared with other sea areas, it is relatively safe. She printed the entire map and handed it to the Han brothers and Lan Yi. She herself doesn't have to worry about everything now, and she travels every day.

"Girl. Xue Shan knocked on the door and shouted, "Uncle Han, they have something to do with you." ”

"Oh, got it. I'll come right over. Lan Xin put down the book and agreed. Uncle Han and the others rarely come to disturb her, and they come to her because they have something to discuss. Qinghe put down the things in his hand and walked over to comb Lan Xin's hair. Lan Xin waved his hand, now is not the time to pay attention to these. Qinghe had no choice but to tie up her scattered hair and check that there was nothing wrong with the clothes on her body. The two of them walked out of the hatch one after the other.

When they came to the front hall, the Han brothers, Tong Dachuan, Lan Yi and Xiongfei were all there. Each of them had deep brows, solemn faces, and a helpless look. Lan Xin's heart "chuckled", it seemed that he had encountered something tricky. She clenched the hand hidden in her sleeve tightly, forcing herself to compose. Say to yourself: Don't panic, don't panic! You are their backbone now, and if you panic, they will be in chaos. You know, in this vast sea, every choice is crucial.

The people in the hall didn't expect Lan Xin to come over so quickly. While feeling comforted, I became even more flustered. After getting up to salute, Lan Xin smiled and said, "You don't have to be formal, just sit down." ”

Qinghe poured a cup of tea and put it in Lan Xin's hand. She rubbed her hand hidden under the table against her clothes vigorously, wiping the sweat from her palms. When her palms were dry, she picked up the teacup on the table. Her fingers gripped the cup so hard that the tea in the cup would not spill out, and they would not be able to see that her hands were shaking nervously.
