Chapter Ninety-Nine: Water Leakage
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Yuan Yi, who was dressed in dark color, walked in quickly.
"Master, the ship has broken a hole, and water has leaked in."
Without caring about saluting, Yuan Yi said hurriedly.
Broken? Leaking?
It's not going to sink, is it? Hua Qianyue thought sullenly, what should she do with her box of cage treasures?
Qi Haotian glanced at Hua Qianyue, and his expression changed for a moment.
"Let's take a look."
After speaking, he dropped the chess pieces in his hand and took the lead and walked out hurriedly.
Seeing Qi Hao leaving, Yuan Yi and Qi Yunxian immediately raised their heels.
Hua Qianyue looked at the swaying cyan curtain, thought about it and followed.
The three people just now were missing from the side of the ship, but with the noise and the figure that ran to it, Hua Chizuki still accurately found the location of the water leak, a utility compartment at the stern of the ship.
At this time, all the water-soaked objects in the cabin had been moved to the deck, and the holes in the right bulkhead the size of bowls were plugged with cotton wool and the like, and no longer seeped into them.
The boatman in the gray coat and the guard in the dark suit all took off their socks and squatted barefoot in the water that did not reach the instep, quickly waving the water scoop in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, the bucket beside them was full of a large bucket.
One or two boatmen who were in charge of the water shuttled between the crowds, put down the empty bucket with their left hand, carried a bucket full of water with their right hand and poured it into the river, and then returned and replaced the full bucket without stopping.
Qi Haotian stood at the door, staring at the hole thoughtfully.
"Well, how did you break such a big hole?"
Hua Qianyue frowned and muttered to herself.
Her voice was not loud, mixed with the sound of drawing water, so that no one else heard it.
Of course, these people do not include Qi Haotian, Qi Yunxian and other martial arts masters.
"There was a handyman in the kitchen who stayed overnight yesterday and caught a pangolin in a cage and threw it in the utility room, but he didn't want to get the boat out of the big hole."
Yuan Yimafu has been in office for a long time, and he is used to listening to Hua Qianyue's orders, and after listening to her words, he truthfully told the results of the investigation.
"You don't want to drive to Willow Creek like this, do you?" Hua Qianyue asked, pointing to the hole that was blocked by something like cotton wool.
This is too dangerous, in case of strong winds or this thing is not sealed and leaks quietly in the middle of the night, the boat will not all be reimbursed.
"Of course not! In another half an hour, we will go to Hualongdu, and then set off after repairing the ferry. ”
Yuan Yi replied quickly.
Hua Qianyue nodded and was very satisfied with Yuan Yi's reply, and turned around and went back to her room.
Qi Yunxian stared at Yuan Yi for a while.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yi touched his face and wondered, "There's something on my face?" ”
"Who is your master?" Qi Yunxian looked playful, "She can answer whatever she asks?" ”
Yuan Yi reacted at this time, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Qi Haotian.
Qi Haotian seemed to hear it, his face was indifferent, and he didn't have any special expression.
Hua Qianyue returned to the house, and Tong Wanyu and Qi Yunxuan, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, stepped forward.
"Stop at Hualongdu in half an hour."
Without waiting for the two to speak, Hua Qianyue said the answer that the two wanted.
Hualong ?
"Arriving in Hualong so soon?" Tong Wanyu's black jewel-like eyes rolled, indicating that she was thinking of some kind of ghost idea.
"Why don't we go ashore and have fun?"
Qi Yunxuan guessed her mind early in the morning and said on her behalf.
Tong Wanyu gave her an appreciative look.
"What's the fun, let's stay honest." Flower Qianyue lacks interest.
It's better to go ashore than to walk on the shore, but to blow the leaves on the boat, and now she can blow simple tunes.
Thinking of this, Hua Qianyue has a little sense of accomplishment.
Unexpectedly, in ancient times, not only did I learn to play the zither, but I could even blow the leaves.
"Fun." Tong Wanyu hugged Hua Qianyue's arm and said coquettishly, "Hualong is not far from Hualong Temple, let's go there and have fun." ”
"Let's not worship the Buddha again, what are we going to do there."
As soon as she heard that it was a temple, Hua Qianyue was even more reluctant to go, and it was better to walk on the shore to listen to those great monks chanting.
"Who told you to listen to the master chanting the scriptures?" Tong Wanyu still knows her cousin better, "At the end of the year, let's say it's good to go to enjoy the plum blossoms, isn't this a bad trip, there is a big peach forest in the mountain behind Hualong Temple, the peach blossoms are blooming a few days ago, how about we go to enjoy the peach blossoms?" ”
Tong Wanyu stared at Hua Qianyue with burning eyes, throwing out tempting bait.
There's no way, who made her cousin so good, and she, who was a cousin, had to sacrifice and sacrifice.
Sure enough, hearing that there was a beautiful view to see, someone took the bait.
Walking through the peach grove surrounded by aroma and blowing tunes is more enjoyable than sitting on a boat, right? Hua Qianyue's heart moved, besides, such a big hole, it is not good to make up for it, and it is necessary to dismantle the whole piece of wood and replace it with a new one, so that the project is much bigger, and it will definitely not be able to go for a while......
"So-, shall we take a look?"
"If you don't call my eldest brother, it's not good for the three of us to be in the wilderness."
Qi Yunxuan glanced at the two sisters and said timidly.
Her brother and Hua Qianyue have always been at odds, I don't know if Hua Qianyue will agree, if Hua Qianyue doesn't agree, Tong Wanyu will definitely not agree, but if her eldest brother doesn't go, she is a little afraid.
"Yun Xuan thinks about it." Hua Qianyue said, "It's not safe for girls to follow anyone who knows martial arts in the wilderness." ”
Anyway, Qi Yunxian hasn't been bothering himself recently, he follows if he likes, and he can get a free bodyguard, why not.
Half an hour later, Qi Haotian's room.
Qi Haotian behind the long table with curved mahogany legs stood in the pearl-white straight jacket that Hua Qianyue made for him, not knowing what to think.
On the side, there is also a wooden report on the repair of the ship.
"The planks with holes were removed......"
"What did the man say?" Qi Haotian interrupted him and asked.
Yimu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
"He said that someone gave him fifty taels of silver when he went ashore yesterday, asked him to dig a hole in the boat, and bought a pangolin to avoid people......
Yimu said cautiously, he knows his master too well, and the more he behaves, the more angry he is in his heart, he doesn't want to be swept away by the tail of the typhoon and be shot for no reason.
"The king doesn't want to see him again." Qi Haotian's eyes were frosty.
"Yes" Yimu said in a low voice, without a trace of waves in his voice, he had long understood that this would be the result.
A man who had given up the lives of all the people on the ship for fifty taels of silver, he could not think of a better ending.
Fortunately, the other party is also stupid, if he is given a packet of medicine to put in the food......
Yimu reached out and touched his neck.
With a bang, Yuan Yi lifted the curtain and hurriedly walked in.
"Oh no, Miss Hua went ashore."
"Getting to the point." Qi Haotian's face changed, his voice was irresistibly resolute, and his hands clenched involuntarily.
"Miss Hua, Miss Tong, Miss Qi, and the three of them went to the mountain behind Hualong Temple." He thought for a moment and added, "Qi Shizi also followed, and as soon as the boat docked, they left, I am afraid that they will already be on the top of the mountain." ”
"Chasing" Qi Haotian's eyes flashed with a hint of strength, damn it, there was still a mistake in the defense, I hope everything is still in time.
