The pirate ship followed for two days, and found that they were indeed wandering in the nearby waters looking for people, so they reluctantly sailed back to their lair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For a few days in a row, the ships docked when they saw the island, and the people naturally did not find it, but they made a lot of money. Many of the island's inhabitants are still in the most primitive state of life, relying on hunting, not knowing how to weave, not knowing how to plant, and in some places even using stone tools.

These people don't have money, they don't even know what money is, and they rely on bartering for supplies.

No merchant ships would come all the way to do business with them, firstly there was no business to do, and secondly, there was no language barrier, and most of the "outsiders" they could see were ships docked here in need of supplies.

Every time I go to an island, Susu is very excited.

Zhu Zhigao was a little depressed, if Yao Xitong was still alive and knew that the money in the bun shop was so wasted, would he be angry with him, saying that he didn't understand business.

These days, Zhu Zhigao has discovered that Su Su has a talent, and his ability to learn languages is particularly strong. Soon he was able to converse with the islanders by gestures, and soon he could even say a word or two.

It is not true to say that there is no harvest at all, when Su Su took the initiative to give rare materials such as salt and iron to these residents, these people also gave their treasures.

Huge shells, beautiful pearls, and even night pearls are all gifts of nature that are far less practical than iron and salt in the eyes of the islanders. On some islands, you can even see porcelain and bronze objects from shipwrecks that sank in the nearby waters 100 years ago, which were salvaged by the residents and used by the residents.

Seeing Su Su exchange these objects with salt and iron, Zhu Zhigao smiled and asked, "You can be an antique dealer when you go back." ”

Su Su carefully identified the ornamentation on the porcelain, and said quite confidently, "The unicorn ornament is only used by the royal family, and Sima Xiao must have been to these places back then!" ”

Zhu Zhigao really didn't expect Su Su to be so careful, and through these details, he deduced that Sima Xiao's traces had indeed appeared in the sea area where Wu Jun was killed.

"So we're not looking for the wrong place, but where are they?" he said. ”

The two looked at the magnificent sea together, and it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a few people who had disappeared due to the underwater green boat without specific coordinates and references.

Su Su sighed, "Try your luck, I firmly believe that the princess is still alive." ”

Zhu Zhigao disagreed, and anyone with a little common sense could not believe that Xiao Bao'er and they could survive the sinking island and drift to the sea area about half a month's journey away from the place of the incident.

"Miss Susu, if you don't find the princess, where will you go next? Back to Aoyama-kun? Or go to Li Gongzi's? ”

Su Su didn't think about this problem, but the endless sea in front of her reminded her that it was time to think about herself. I thought that she would be in pain if she left Xuanze, and she would no longer be able to have feelings for other men.

The truth is very cruel, the love she believes in is so fragile in the face of time.

In just a few months, the tense and thrilling escape life has made her forget the heart-wrenching feeling she felt when she first left Xuanze.

In particular, this voyage was carried out in a variety of ways, from the collection of silver taels to the selection of routes, as well as the selection of goods and the way to deal with piracy. It's up to her to do everything, and the feeling of being free to do whatever you want is wonderful, and that's the taste of freedom, and once you've tasted it, there's no going back.

If she returns to Xuan Ze and gets the order to use herself to confuse others, can she refuse? Even if Xuanze's favor can become his concubine, is she still willing?

and Jairus, the realistic and ruthless former squire son, who can do anything for the top, what can he do to become his wife? Trapped in the house all his life and deceived by officialdom, will he be ruthlessly abandoned like Feng Lele?

"Master Zhu, I didn't find the person I was looking for when I went to sea this time, can I ask the Zhu family to take me in for a while? I will settle accounts for businessmen or become the shopkeeper of the Zhu family, or help the Zhu family train maids. ”

Zhu Zhigao suddenly said very seriously, "Miss Susu, I know that you are smart and capable, and you used to be Qingshanjun's right-hand man, but the Zhu family really doesn't bother you with these things. ”

Unexpected refusal, Su Su looked disappointed, and couldn't understand why Zhu Zhigao refused. Is she not good enough, or is Zhu Zhigao afraid of Xuanze's power?

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it, I'll ask Erer in a while, see that he has no intention of running a bun shop, someone has to provoke this stall."

"The girl misunderstood, I just wanted to give you a better choice."

Su Su looked at Zhu Zhigao in surprise, curious about what the better choice would be in his mouth.

"Zhu Gongzi, please speak."

"If the girl can become the head of the Zhu family, this is the honor of the Zhu family, and it is also the expectation of Zhu."

Su Su felt that she was not surprised by the change, but at this moment she had a feeling of being hit on the head by a pie, and she blurted out: "I'm older than you." ”

"Did the girl state the facts, or did she use this as an excuse to reject me? If it's an excuse for rejection, I don't mind. You must know that 'female junior, hugging gold bricks', and making money every day, I have no reason to give up! ”

Su Su finally came to her senses, she knew that Zhu Zhigao was serious, and couldn't help asking: "I see that you like the princess a lot, don't you retreat to the second?" ”

"I do like the princess, her out-of-the-box personality and courage can make people forget their troubles for a while, and they are willing to believe in her and follow in her footsteps. But I'm just an ordinary businessman, and I don't have the ability or the means to get along with such a woman......"

Su Su interjected: "If there is a way, you will choose her?" ”

"Zhu Zhigao can have a choice, but the Zhu family patriarch does not. I am now the patriarch, and I have the hope of the whole clan, and a person like the princess cannot climb high. "The truth is never good, but when it comes to smart people, the truth is the best choice.

Su Su pondered for a while and asked, "Are you serious?" Why, do you know that I went deep into the steppe to seduce Prince Jerod? ”

"So what? It's not what you want, but it's what you do. Besides, the woman who can make Prince Yelu sacrifice his life to save him must be a woman worthy of Zhu's cherishment. ”

"I can't tolerate other women around my husband, even if I don't have a little thought."

"The girl is smart and capable, if she becomes Zhu's wife, everything in the family will be decided by the girl. We discuss and handle the affairs of the clan, so that Zhu doesn't dare to go too far even if he has other thoughts! ”

"Okay, I promised you."

This time it was Zhu Zhigao's turn to be surprised, Su Su was extremely beautiful, smart and generous, and he could afford to marry a prince. Even if she was a maidservant, she was also a favored big girl, and the down-and-out master was not as good as her.

"I don't know what the girl likes about Zhu?"

"Young, pragmatic, lacking heart, rich, do you need more reasons?"

Zhu Zhigao suddenly smiled, and finally understood why Su Su was by Xiao Baoer's side, the two grew up in different environments, but there were some very similar things in their bones.

"Zhu will definitely not disappoint the girl."

Su Su sneered, "The days are still long, let's see." ”

Zhu Zhigao smiled again, and he didn't know when he fell in love with Su Su. Maybe it's the shocking glimpse on the merchant ship of Qin Mao, or maybe it's the long-term love during this time.

I mustered up the courage to confess today, I thought I would be frustrated, but I didn't expect it to succeed. Looking at his appearance of ignoring and weighing the pros and cons, he somewhat understood why Yao Xitong always showed a harmless cowardice in front of Xiao Baoer, and it was actually fun to show weakness to the people he liked.

In the dead of night, Su Su carefully recalled the conversation with Zhu Zhigao, and somehow suddenly smiled.

She doesn't like this person much, but she doesn't hate it either. I always feel that the two of us take care of business together and have nothing to walk around, which is a future that she can accept.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhigao is down-to-earth and can give her a sense of security, which Xuanze can't give her. At this age, it's better to pick and choose to leave.

On the same night, Yao Xitong mysteriously took out a box of ointment and said to Xiao Bao'er, who had just finished washing, "Come, wipe your face!" ”

"Don't."

"This is the snake oil ointment made from the fat snake, it can be moisturized, and it can make the skin white and supple......"

Xiao Bao'er wanted to slap Yao Xitong when she saw him talking, but said, "You think I have dark skin?" ”

"It's a big wrong, I just think it's better to be white, and the shy appearance is more lovely!"

Xiao Baoer feels that she is a dish in Yao Xitong's eyes, pickled first, then cooked, a lot of steps! She lifted her foot and kicked at it, "Get out of here, don't try to touch me at night!" ”

Yao Xitong said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, you think so much." I didn't mean that, don't you need it? ”

"Dead turtle, see if I don't kill you."

Xiao Bao'er shot mercilessly, and the move was fatal.

Yao Xitong had long been accustomed to this, and fled out like flying, and the two chased one after the other, and chased around the island. The people on the island are used to their little "fun" and will not die anyway, so the two of them are messing around.

Hearing them run farther and farther, gradually losing their voices, everyone only sighed that both of them were martial arts geniuses, and it didn't take much time to surpass the decades of hard training of some of the residents on the island!

In the bay some distance from the island, Yao Xitong dragged out a small raft made of coconut shells from the cave hidden under the reef, and beckoned Xiao Bao'er to hurry up.

Xiao Bao'er looked at him dumbfounded, "When did you get it, why don't I know?" ”

"As long as you hide it from you, you can naturally hide it from the eyes and ears of the islanders."

"The negotiation didn't work, and they won't let us leave?"

"Wu Zu once said that the underwater green boat will surface on the fifteenth day of every month. On the fifteenth of this month, they didn't know how to keep the ancestral turtle, the purpose of which was not to expose the location of the green boat under the water. I see that they promised to let us go, but they kept spying on our whereabouts...... It is estimated that it will be difficult to go! ”

Xiao Bao'er looked down and saw that she was wearing a middle coat and hadn't prepared anything, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get so many coconut shells?" Do you know how to get out? Drinking water? ”

"If you eat coconut meat and drink coconut water recently, you naturally have so many coconut shells."

"Isn't it? Can I eat that? ”

Yao Xitong nodded affirmatively and continued: "I peeked at Sima Xiao's notes, and I probably know how to get out of this water. I really can't get out, it's a big deal to come back. The island's fresh water has always been rationed, and I saved two days of fresh water by cooking for the residents all day. Wu Jun said that it took him a day and a night to leave, and I guess two days was enough. ”

Seeing that he had calculated everything, Xiao Bao'er didn't say much, jumped on the raft and said, "Let's go!" ”

Yao Xitong took out the box of ointment again, "Hurry up, wipe it before leaving." ”

"Out of here is the vast sea, why don't you die?"

"This box of medicated oil is to prevent schools of fish, in case the raft does not bear fruit and falls into the water, this medicated oil can drive away big fish and prevent bites."

Xiao Bao'er was embarrassed, it seemed that she was really thinking too much.

Yao Xitong comforted him and said, "Madam, it's a good thing to have ideas, which means that your husband ...... these days."

"Get out!" Xiao Bao'er punched out, worried that the raft would be scattered, and withdrew his strength halfway. Yao Xitong easily grabbed his fist and hugged her, "The sea is windy, or Mrs. feels sorry for me!" ”

The two drifted all night, Xiao Baoer could bear it at first, but when she saw the sea full of reefs, and the sea water around her body couldn't even see the islands, she hugged Yao Xitong and cried loudly.

said that he should not contact the rivers, lakes and seas again in this life, and he should not accompany him to find any underwater green boat, if he dies in the sea, his soul must not ascend to heaven.

Yao Xitong was very distressed at first, and it was a little strange to hear that the soul could not go to heaven, isn't there a water burial in Beiliao? Why can't the seawater?

Xiao Baoer explained that if she didn't eat roast lamb leg before she died, her soul would definitely not be able to go to heaven! Yao Xitong hugged her tightly with pity, and the girl who was still thinking about eating roast lamb leg when she was dying must be a good girl.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and seeing that the sky was full of colorful clouds, they finally found the island where Wu Jun was waiting for the rescue ship that day.

The two waited on the island for a long time without seeing the boat appear, and just as Yao Xitong began to doubt himself in Xiao Bao'er's complaints, a boat finally came in the distance......

Xiao Baoer saw Zhu Zhigao like seeing a lost relative, and she stretched out her arms and wanted to give him a hug.

Yao Xitong pulled her back to him and educated: "Xiaoxiao, you forgot that you are a wife again." ”

Su Su was the most understanding, and said: "Princess, the hot water is ready, eat some meat pads before bathing, so as to save you dizziness for a while!" ”

Yao Xitong really convinced Su Su, how did she come up with the idea that eating meat can cure dizziness......

As soon as Xiao Bao'er heard that she could eat meat, she jumped up and followed Su Su.

The second two showed his face like a thief, and saw that Yao Xitong was really alive, and did not show that he wanted to talk to him, and this person quietly slipped back to the kitchen to continue researching delicious food.

There were only Yao Xitong and Zhu Zhigao left on the deck, and without waiting for the former to ask, Zhu Zhigao took the initiative to explain that this voyage was Su Su who persuaded Erer to let the bun shop pay for it.

Yao Xitong didn't care about this, he just wanted to know if something was happening on the shore.

Zhu Zhigao said that a few days after they returned to Songdi, they organized people to go to sea.

During this period, a message came back from Dadu that Xia Zi was assassinated on the day of his wedding, and his life and death were unknown.

It was this reason that dragged Xuan Ze's footsteps and prevented him from rushing back to Song Land in the first place! If he knew that Xiao Bao'er was also on the Zhu family's merchant ship, it was estimated that Su Su and the others would not have a second chance to go to sea to find people.
