37. Backyard
The fire reflected in the red and dark night, and the shipyard screamed, and several boat bosses hurriedly removed their belongings, for fear of being swallowed up by the fierce fire.
On the Wucao boat, tongues of fire blocked the exit of the ship's cabin, and Mohua and kelp were trapped inside. Mo Hua wanted to escape from the window, but he didn't know who took the wooden stick and blocked the window.
"Let's go to the cabin."
Mo Hua immediately made a decision, lifted the door cover on the floor, and jumped down. Kelp is a close second. As soon as the two entered the cabin, they ran to the back.
Old ships have the benefits of old ships, and there are always one or two loopholes to be found. Mo Hua didn't have to work hard, he touched a wooden board, which was supposed to be replaced, but he was lazy and didn't move, and now it was just the right time for them to escape.
Mo Hua smashed the plank in two or three strokes, and the sea water poured in. He hurriedly took the kelp back to the mouth of the ship, and each of them was covered with a damp cloth and waited for the ship to sink.
Xiaodou'er was scared, hiding in Mo Hua's arms and meowing. Mo Hua bowed his head and kissed it, and said, "Don't be afraid, we're going to escape soon." ”
After about half of the incense, the boat sank deeper and deeper. The water bubbled up from the door of the ship's cabin like boiling water. Most of the ship's cabin was burned down, and the roof collapsed. Seeing that there was an exit, Mo Hua seized the opportunity, held his breath and kicked his legs at the moment when the ship sank into the sea, and swam up from the gap in the top of the boat.
The sea of fire was still scorching, floating on the surface of the sea like oil. Mo Hua found the gap, and escaped from the sea of fire with all his might.
For the rest of her life, kelp rolled and roared on the beach, glad that she had picked up a life. Mo Hua also used most of his strength, lying on the beach and unable to move.
The people who lived in the boat port slowly surrounded them, and when they saw them, they couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, isn't this Mo Shao?" Why did your ship catch fire? ”
Mo Hua knew that he was set on fire, but when he saw that the neighbors around him were confused, they must have seen no trace of the murderer.
Mo Hua didn't want to make the situation serious, he looked sloppy and smiled: "I was careless in boiling water." ”
"Mo Shao, you are too careless. We all rely on boats to eat here, and as soon as the wind blows, the fire will come to our ship. ”
"Yes! We are not like you, we are the son-in-law of Wei Qianzong. The boat is gone, and the job is gone. ”
Everyone, you say a word, and I count a sentence. Mo Hua nodded yes, squinting and smiling at it.
"That's right, I'm sorry for you. Thank you for your understanding. ”
This boat is not Mo Hua's belongings, but everyone only thinks that he is Wei Qianzong's son-in-law, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, what is it to burn a broken boat?
Everyone scattered, Mohua and kelp watched their home slowly sink into the sea, and when it came, it seemed to be unwilling to burst out a series of bubbles.
Kelp was distressed, smacked her lips and shook her head, raising her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Home is gone, where are we going now?"
Mo Hua got up, took off his wet clothes, and twisted it fiercely.
"Let's go, go find Mr. Wei Qian."
With that, Mo Hua pulled up the kelp and took Xiaodou'er to Weifu.
The drum was beaten three times, and there was no one on the street. In fact, Mo Hua could go to Chunxiang's room in the flower building to sleep overnight, but he was worried that he would be eaten by Chunxiang even the belt shell, so after thinking about it, he still went to Wei Qian.
Mohua has a Weijia token, and there is no obstacle to entry and exit. It was too late and he was embarrassed to call Mr. Wei Qian, so he found the night owl Wei Erlang and told him about the boat being set on fire.
"What? Someone actually rushed to our boat dock to set fires? I'm tired of living! Do you know who it is? ”
"He came and went without a trace, presumably his martial arts are extremely high, I can't guess who it is."
Mo Hua replied truthfully. As far as he knew, there were only a few people in the Wuji Sea who could have such light skills, and the only ones who could be suspected were the people from the Xianwang Mansion. But the virtuous king Lin Changhong is extremely treacherous, and he will not do it lightly, and if he really wants to do it, he will never leave a living mouth.
Mo Hua really couldn't guess who it would be.
Wei Erlang put his hand on his hand and thought about it, and paced back and forth in the room.
"That's it, you can stay in my house, anyway, there are so many vacant rooms, you can pick and choose."
This is exactly what Mohua wants, and he doesn't pretend to shirk, nodding in response. That night, Mohua and kelp made their home in Weifu.
The ancients had a cloud: the building near the water gets the moon first.
This time, Mo Hua and Wei Jiang were close enough, and they could touch the sharp corners of the moon as soon as they stretched out their hands.
Wei Jiang didn't know about this, she didn't sleep all night, and the next day she was not in good spirits, so she hid in the room for most of the day, and didn't show her face until the sun went down.
I don't see her for a day, like every other three autumns. He climbed the crooked neck tree again and offered a water lily. This water lily is very rare, and the petals are royal blue. Wei Jiang couldn't put it down when she saw it, and excitedly held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it again and again.
Ping An scratched his head, smiled stupidly and said, "Today I went to the market and saw someone selling flowers, only this one, I quickly bought it and gave it to you." Do you like it? ”
"I like it." Wei Jiang smiled at him, extremely coquettish.
Peace was like drinking honey water, from sweet throat to heart, but after a while, he suddenly changed his face and asked her in a low voice, "Where did you go yesterday?" I've been looking for you for most of the day. ”
When Wei Jiang heard this, she felt a little weak, and she laughed and bluffed: "I'm going to find someone." ”
"Are you looking for Mohua?"
Ping'an asked, his clear voice sinking a little, and his clear eyes darkened. Wei Jiang suddenly felt a chill, making her feel uncomfortable. Look at Ping'an, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, he was still the melancholy beautiful boy, Wei Jiang felt that he was too careful.
"That's right, the second brother said that he was sick and was going to visit, and I happened to be looking for him to have something."
"What can you do with him?"
Ping An has to break the casserole and ask to the end. This time, Wei Jiang was really angry and felt that he was making trouble unreasonably. As soon as he was unhappy, Wei Jiang poured the tea full and implicitly drove him away.
Ping An saw the tea overflowing from the cup, his handsome eyebrows were deeply twisted, and the color in his eyes flashed. He climbed from the window to the crooked neck tree and said nothing.
Seeing that he was silent, Wei Jiang felt that she was a little excessive, so she walked to the window and grabbed his sleeve, and pouted: "I'm for business, not for private affairs." ”
Ping An took a deep breath, and when he turned his head, melancholy crept up his brow again.
"Ah Jiang, will you go with me? I'm afraid you'll marry him. ”
The eyes of peace are watery, like a puppy shaking its head and begging for mercy. Seeing this, Wei Jiang felt pity and reached out to touch his forehead.
"I'm not going to marry him, I'm sure."
"But Wei Qian always doesn't like me...... You know that. ”
Wei Jiang smiled and said, "You can find a way to do something big, so that my father will be impressed, and then I will blow the wind in his ear, and he will like you." ”
Ping An bowed his head and muttered, hiding his thoughts.
Slowly, Wei Jiang smelled something strange, couldn't help but take his hand, and asked lightly, "What's wrong with you these days?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
Ping An stopped talking, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the back of her hand.
"Promise me that you won't like him, okay?"
Wei Jiang hesitated for a while, and Ping'an immediately urged: "Promise me, okay!" ”
The clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and I felt pity. However, Wei Jiang didn't like to be forced, and after careful consideration, she said weakly: "I promise you." ”
Ping An was happy, and the worry between his eyebrows was gone. He took Wei Jiang's hand and gently dropped two kisses on the back of her hand, swearing.
"I don't have anything to give you at the moment, but in the future, I can give you whatever you want, even if it's the world, it's the Infinite Sea, I can give it with both hands."
Hearing the weak Ping'an say such domineering words, Wei Jiang felt very out of tune, and she couldn't help laughing. Ping'an clenched her hands very strictly, and said word by word: "I mean the truth!" ”
Ping'an's hand clenched a little tightly. In an instant, the shadow of the virtuous king Lin Changhong seemed to be attached to his body.
Wei Jiang inexplicably panicked, and involuntarily withdrew his hand. At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Wei Jiang was frightened, hurriedly pushed Ping An away, and then asked the door, "Who?" ”
"It's me, sister, open the door."
It turned out to be Wei Zhen'er, and Wei Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Somehow, she was a little lucky, glad that Wei Zhen'er helped her out of the siege.
opened the door, Wei Zhen'er came in with a food plate in her hand, she was dressed plainly, only a jasper hairpin was used in her bun, and she walked step by step, much more elegant than Wei Jiang.
"You haven't eaten, my mother is worried about you, so she specially asked me to come over and send you something to eat. What, isn't it sick? ”
As she spoke, Wei Zhen'er reached out and poked Wei Jiang's forehead. "It's okay, it's not hot."
Wei Jiang didn't pretend in front of his sister, leaned on the couch on his hands and feet, and grinned: "My head is a little heavy, probably the heat is too heavy." ”
"It's like this day, you remember to eat more things to cool off."
Wei Zhen'er took out the mung bean porridge, inadvertently squinted at the corner of her eyes, and when she saw a shadow outside the window, she paused slightly, and then pretended to have nothing to do and stuffed the porridge bowl into Wei Jiang's hand.
"By the way, when I came just now, I heard from the eldest brother that Brother Mo's ship was burned, and my father settled him in the second brother's courtyard."
"Poof!" Wei Jiang squirted out a mouth full of mung beans, no wonder Ping An was so shocked, it turned out that this guy had moved in!
Well?! There's a fire in the backyard, isn't another one a mess?
Wei Jiang was anxious, his heart was panicked, eating was like chewing wax, and there was no taste at all.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the window, like an explosion of a pot. Wei Zhen'er stood by the window and poked out: "It must be the third uncle who is back." ”
"Third uncle?!"
Wei Jiang was excited, and she was finally able to meet a happy event. Caring about the half bowl of porridge in her hand, she hurriedly took Wei Zhen'er's hand and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go see the third uncle!" Ask him for something good. ”
