Chapter Seventy-Seven: The White Elephant Country
[Chapter 77 White Elephant Country] Someone fell in love with this little boy
The sea breeze gusted, and Duan Baiyue stood on the deck, watching the clouds change in the sky.
Sikong Rui carried a jar of wine and asked, "Do you want to drink?" ”
Duan Baiyue came back to his senses: "You brewed it?" ”
Sikong Rui said: "Yes." ”
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Don't drink it." ”
Sikong Rui retracted the wine jar: "It's just right, this is the red brocade I brewed when I got married, and I am not willing to give it to outsiders." It's just that I saw you standing here all morning, thinking that if I couldn't think of jumping into the sea for a while, I would still want to fish, so it would be better to get drunk and clean. ”
Duan Baiyue asked, "Why did I jump into the sea?" ”
Sikong Rui said: "You weren't like this before, you would be out of your mind from time to time, and it would take several hours to come out of your mind. Although he wears a mask, he can't block his eyes, and he is sincere, and he thinks that there is a person who can drink in his heart. ”
Duan Baiyue smiled: "So what? ”
Sikong Rui said: "If I were you, don't say it's disfiguring and poisonous, even if you fall into the devil's path, you will ask your sweetheart if you want to follow me." ”
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "It's a pity that I'm not you." ”
Sikong Rui said: "I always thought that if you fancy someone in the future, no matter whether the other party agrees or not, you will lead troops to grab people first." "But I never expected that I really liked it, and it would be so forbearing.
Duan Baiyue smiled and said, "If I rob him, I'm afraid that there will be a war in Kyushu and the world will be in chaos." ”
Sikong Rui became more and more puzzled when he heard this, and looked around him with his back hand, blow it, and the world will be in chaos.
Duan Baiyue carried the person in front of him: "Let's get down to business, what do you think of the Fei Burmese Kingdom?" ”
"The Kingdom of Filipino?" Sikong Rui said, "What, you still want to find Tianchensha?" ”
"Tianchensha will naturally look for it, but I won't put all my thoughts on Tianchensha, after all, it's just a legendary thing, and it's not worth spending too much energy." Duan Baiyue said, "Xiao Wu also took people to explore, and finally broke through the vast white fog, but only saw a barren island and reef, which didn't look like a person could live. ”
"When Master Nan wrote a letter, I went to look for it a few times." Sikong Rui said, "Even if it is a map of the South China Sea, it can only mark the general location of the country. The area of white fog is extremely wide, and at the largest of all, it is called the country of Fei Burma, and no one can say which one is inhabited. If they want to find out the news, they can only wait for their merchant ships on the waterway, and every once in a while they will carry out witchcraft deposits to sell in exchange for some necessities. ”
Duan Baiyue said: "So mysterious? ”
"It's more like a mystery than a block." Sikong Rui said, "But this South China Sea is vast, there are all kinds of strange people, and the country of Fei and Burma has always been peaceful, and the people are not rich or poor in life, so they will not attract envy and hatred, and everyone will live in peace together." ”
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I see." ”
"But I heard that their Chinese language has been getting better and better in the past two years, and they probably don't want to stay closed." Sikong Rui said, "After all, only when all countries are connected by sea and everyone helps each other and benefits each other, will there be money to be earned." ”
Duan Baiyue's heart moved: "The more Chinese you speak, the better?" ”
Sikong Rui said: "It's not just the country of Fei Burma, which Nanyang island country doesn't want to climb to Dachu now, just a casual business is enough to catch fish at sea for a year, and a fool will not want to learn Chinese." So you don't have to worry, maybe in a few years, the country will open its own door and exchange the sand for gold and silver. ”
Duan Baiyue smiled and shook his head: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”
Sikong Rui smashed him with his arm: "Who is your sweetheart?" ”
Duan Baiyue said: "I have known him since I was a child, and I regard him as my life. ”
Sikong Rui was flattered: "Could it be me?" ”
Duan Yao was originally walking over, but when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he turned around and went back the way he came.
Everyone.
As the days passed, the route was unimpeded. When they were about to arrive in the White Elephant Country, they temporarily left the Southwest Army on a hidden island, while Duan Baiyue and the others disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and went ashore to register in the name of Wangxi Reef. The dock was full of people, and it was really lively, and there were many caravans from Dachu, waiting in line to check and enter the city.
Sikong Rui secretly stuffed a silver ingot, and waved his hand to let him go, without letting everyone wait longer, and he didn't even ask more about the mask on Duan Baiyue's face.
The gates of the city are made of white boulders, domed with gold lacquer, and lined with blue sea and blue sky, which is very beautiful,-'Two stone white elephants are kneeling on the ground, with their proboscis raised, and all who pass by will touch them, saying that they will have good luck.' After entering the city, it is even more dazzling, and when you encounter a more prosperous shop, the three floors inside and the three floors outside are all merchants, and the street is almost impassable.
Sikong Rui said: "I don't know if this time is a coincidence or not, it happened to catch up with the Chamber of Commerce." ”
Duan Baiyue said: "It's not bad to take the opportunity to take a look at the customs." ”
Duan Yao looked left and right, and after a while, he bought a bunch of gadgets, saying that he was going back to the Southwest Mansion to give them away. Not long after returning to the rest inn, he slipped out to see the excitement again, Duan Baiyue and Sikong Rui naturally didn't care about him, the two went out to find a tea shop, sat and drank tea and chatted, and discussed the follow-up plan by the way.
Duan Yao bought glutinous rice at a stall and wrapped it in banana leaves to eat while walking. The son of a family in his prime has heroic facial features and a tall figure, which has attracted many daughters' families to peek at him along the way.
Sikong Rui happened to see it, and joked with a smile: "Yao'er is much more promising than you." ”
Duan Baiyue turned her head to look down, and the corners of her mouth also raised.
"Childe." Someone behind him screamed.
Duan Yao stopped and turned around, and saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl's family, probably because she had been fishing all year round, her skin was a little dark, but her eyes were full of cleverness.
"Call me?" Duan Yao asked.
The other party nodded: "My name is Huang Li." ”
Duan Yao asked, "Are you from Da Chu?" ”
Huang Li shook his head: "I am from the White Elephant Country. ”
Duan Yao said: "Then you speak Chinese quite well." ”
"Learn some." Sikong Rui Dao.
Duan Baiyue looked at the two of them with interest.
Huang Li stuffed something into Duan Yao's hand, turned around and ran, leaving another group of girls to cover their mouths and laugh.
Duan Yao looked down in wonder, and saw that it was a small pink and white flower.
"Little boy, it's that girl who has fallen in love with you." Someone next to him smiled and explained, "This is called a love flower." ”
Duan Xiaowang smiled calmly, and put the flower into the crack of the wall with his backhand: "Ah, unfortunately, I am already married." ”
Married...... Everyone was very sorry when they heard this. But thinking about it, it's strange that such a handsome and generous young master is not married.
Duan Yao decisively turned around and went back to the inn.
Sikong Rui frowned: "Someone is staring at Yao'er? ”
"What are you doing staring at Yao'er, he came with that little girl." Duan Baiyue looked at the rat-headed man in the crowd, "It looks like it's either a gangster or a ruffian." ”
As the two spoke, the man had turned into a small alley and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
In the evening, Duan Yao slept contentedly and got up and went downstairs to eat. I saw that Duan Baiyue and Sikong Rui had returned, and there was one more person by their side, who was the little girl they met on the street during the day.
Duan Yao: "......"
"Exactly." Duan Baiyue said: "Someone is looking for you." ”
Duan Yao took a step back.
"Childe." Huang Li carried the burden in his hand, "Take me away." ”
I'll take you away. Duan Yao was dumbfounded, whether it was because he didn't wake up, or because the girl in front of him had fallen into evil.
Duan Baiyue instructed Xiao Er to clean up the private room.
Duan Yao hurriedly followed, but when she turned around, she saw that Huang Li was still standing in place, and there were already people pointing around, and she couldn't bear it, so she beckoned to her.
"Thank you, Childe." After entering the house, Huang Li's face turned red.
Duan Yao hurriedly said: "I'm really married." ”
Duan Baiyue couldn't help but smile.
"Silly boy, you really think that others have taken a fancy to you." Sikong Rui slapped him on the head.
Duan Yao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, oh, no.
"Three masters, please take me to sea." The yellow oriole knelt on the ground with a "puff".
The girl got up and spoke. Duan Baiyue said.
"yes." Duan Yao pulled her up, "Do you want to go to Da Chu?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's Da Chu, or Langzhou, it's okay to go anywhere, as long as you can leave this White Elephant Country." Huang Li said, "Even if it's just a small island with people, it's okay." ”
Duan Yao shook his head: "But it will take us a while to leave, do you have no money to take the boat?" ”
"These." Huang Li took out a silver ticket from his baggage, "I have silver, if it is not enough, and a box of jewelry." ”
"So rich, why don't you go by yourself?" Duan Yao was even more puzzled.
Duan Baiyue said: "I guess I can't leave." ”
"Someone is looking at me." Huang Li whispered.
Sikong Rui knocked on the cup with chopsticks and sighed: "Oh, it's outside the door, let alone four people." You little girl is not kind, you know that you will cause trouble, and you deliberately run into this inn, although we all carry swords, but we may not really know kung fu. ”
Huang Li lowered his head and said nothing, and his hands were cramped together.
"Tell me what's going on." Sikong Rui said, "Seeing that you are so pitiful, if you really have a hard time, I can consider taking you with me." ”
"Those people outside the door are killers." Huang Li said.
Sikong Rui asked, "What is the sect?" ”
Huang Li said: "Sword." ”
Duan Yao interjected: "Which word?" ”
Huang Li said: "The sword of the sword is the biggest killer organization in the White Elephant Country, and the leader of the gang is from the Chu State. ”
Duan Yao twitched the corners of his mouth, what is it called, it is not good, it is called a sword. If two sects quarrel, and the other party scolds you sluts, you don't even have a position to refute.
"Chu people?" Duan Baiyue said, "What's your name?" ”
Huang Li said: "Bao Dadu." ”
"Poof." Sikong Rui was almost choked. A killer organization, called Sword, even if it is, the name of the head of the house still sounds like a stable woman, what is a big belly, if you change to yourself, you don't dare to say it.
With a "clang", the door of the private room was kicked open, and Huang Li's face turned pale and looked at the leader in horror.
Duan Baiyue glanced at it and saw that the gangster in the white day was also among them.
"Do what?" Duan Yao coldly blocked in front.
"Ask me what to do? I'm going to ask you what you want to do! The person who hit the head spat fiercely, "Strangers should be nosy, hurry up and get out of the way, Hugh will delay my young master's visit!" ”
Duan Yao looked back at Huang Li: "You want to get married today?" ”
"That's the girl, that's wrong." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "On the big day, it's not good to wait at home to be married, you and I are not relatives, why did you come here?" ”
Sikong Rui also motioned for Duan Yao to retreat behind him.
"I want everyone in this inn to testify that this girl came to the door by herself, and it has nothing to do with us." Duan Baiyue said, "The stranger doesn't want to cause trouble, since you have found her, please take her away quickly, don't delay our business." ”
