Chapter 230: Into the Sea
When several officials saw this, they had to return in vain, regretting that they had missed a good opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. When the villagers saw the official errand walking away, they were all spitting. Mo said that they didn't know the whereabouts of their benefactors, and even if they knew, they wouldn't tell them a word. However, when it came to Li Erwa'er's family, they were really annoyed, this kid didn't report to everyone when he saw his benefactor, so they couldn't kowtow to his benefactor, and when he came back in the future, he must clean him up.
Li Erwa, who was sitting on the wheel of the car hundreds of miles away, touched her feverish ears, scratched the back of her head suspiciously, and then concentrated on catching up with the carriage again...
Dong Ping has been wearing a straw hat every day to help the Chen family harvest sugarcane in the sugarcane forest next to the official road, but whenever he looks up, he must look at whether there is a convoy in the distance.
Since he came to Haining County to become a parent official, the first thing he did was to take the auxiliary officials to all the villages and towns around the county, and he lost several layers of skin, and he was no longer the original white-faced scholar. Now he has a big straw hat buttoned on his head, wears coarse cloth clothes and trousers, and rolls up his cuffs and trouser legs. So much so that when the distant relatives of the Chen family came to the door, they wanted to marry their daughter to him, which was a big joke.
Chen Laohan knew that he was worried about his family, so he took advantage of the break to bring a teapot over and persuaded, "Second master, don't worry, Xu is the owner will be here soon." It's a hot day, so let's take a drink of water and sit down for a while. ”
Dong Ping tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, took the teapot with a smile and poured a few sips of herbal tea directly at the spout, and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, the shipyard is well covered, if it is seen by outsiders, there will be a big @ trouble." ”
"Don't worry, second master." Old Man Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Although the old man is confused, this matter is still clear, my eldest family is guarded by people, not to mention outsiders, even a lynx can't enter." ”
"That's good," Dong Ping relieved himself a little, and said, "The food I brought a few days ago, Sister-in-law Chen ate it smoothly." My mother-in-law likes to eat sour recently, so she must pester me to bring two cans of pickled plums to my sister-in-law, what a nonsense. ”
Old man Chen thought of his daughter-in-law's big belly, so he squinted with a smile, and replied, "The eldest daughter-in-law is so happy, if you don't eat a few plums a day, you won't be comfortable walking around the yard." I don't know if she can give birth to a girl or a boy in this child, and when the time comes, she will marry the second master, but there is green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave of our Chen family. ”
Dong Ping hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Chen is polite, the ancestors of the Chen family are also famous scholars, if they hadn't avoided this place for many years, they are now also a wealthy family of Daqi, where is there room for our Dong family to climb high." When the two children land, they will become sisters and brothers if they are both daughters or children, and if they are a daughter and a child, they will set up a family affair. ”
Old Man Chen was so happy that his mouth couldn't close, rubbed his hands and said, "If our family marries a daughter, it will fall into a blessing pit, and if we marry a daughter-in-law, we will wronged your daughter." ”
"Uncle Chen doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters," Dong Ping leaned close to Old Man Chen's ear and whispered, "My elder sister may still be a little lacking in side affairs, but she is very good at making money." When she arrives, she will definitely find a good way to make money for everyone. When the time comes, Uncle Chen is afraid that he will count the silver until his hands are soft. ”
Old Man Chen glared in surprise and asked, "The master mother is so powerful, isn't that the same as the grandmother of the God of Wealth?" ”
Dong Ping squinted with a smile, and was about to speak again, but the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the road and a pair of people and horses were walking far away, and he immediately threw down the teapot in his hand and ran out.
Mrs. Chen happened to come over, and when she saw this, she quickly picked up the teapot, and muttered distressedly, "What's wrong with these two old men, the teapot is so good, it almost broke." ”
Old Man Chen stretched out his hand to push the old woman, and hurriedly instructed, "You go home quickly, prepare the best food and send it to Devil's Bay, there is a distinguished guest here." ”
"Distinguished guests? Who is it? Mrs. Chen still wants to ask, but Old Man Chen has already taken a big step and ran to the official road, "Don't ask, Grandma God of Wealth is here!" ”
Not far away, Dong Ping had already received the convoy. Murong Huaide wiped the beads of sweat from his head, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile, "Second brother, how is the family?" ”
"Good, good!" Dong Ping responded casually, but his eyes were looking hard at the side of the carriage. Dong Rong was so hot and groggy that she suddenly heard her brother's voice, and immediately came to her senses, and she pushed the car door and jumped off.
The sister and brother have been separated for more than half a year, and they are the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and when they saw each other, they hugged each other and cried so much that tears flowed into a river.
"Sister, you are in good health, have you suffered hardships? I've had a lot of nightmares, I'm afraid something will happen to you, what will I do in the future? ”
"Don't be afraid, Brother Ping is not afraid, my sister is back." Dong Rong wiped two handfuls of tears and hurriedly looked her brother up and down, "Why are you tanned here, are you suffering?" There's no flesh on his face at all, and he's thinner than when he left home. ”
Dong Ping naturally didn't dare to say that he was worried about his sister's safety, and he couldn't eat and sleep well all day. He lifted his sleeves to show his hard muscles with his sister, and said with a smile, "Sister, I'm not getting thinner, I'm getting stronger." Who said that scholars are powerless, and I can even beat a tiger to death now. ”
Dong Rong was amused by her younger brother to burst into tears and laugh, habitually reached out and knocked him, and said angrily, "I'm going to be a father, and I'm still so naughty." ”
Old Man Chen also arrived at this time, and as soon as he saw Murong Huaide standing next to the car, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Son, how long has the old slave been looking forward to it, and finally I will see your face again." The son's body is still fine, and the old slave kowtows to you. ”
Murong Huaide hurriedly took two steps forward, looked at the old man with a smile, and asked, "Uncle Chen's leg disease is very good, and when we left that day, we couldn't walk on the ground." ”
Old Man Chen excitedly stomped his feet again and again to show how neat his legs and feet were, and finally said, "It's all thanks to the blessing of the son, the old slave took the medicine left by Mr. Feng, and he never committed it again after raising it for a month." ”
"That's good, now that our family has taken refuge here, we will have to rely on Uncle Chen to take care of it in the future." Murong Huaide smiled faintly, but Old Man Chen knelt down again, and said urgently, "Gongzi has tormented the old slave, without Gongzi to save his life, I am afraid that our Chen family would have been wiped out long ago." Childe can rest assured that he will go to the island to settle down, and if anyone wants to murder Childe, he will have to step on the corpses of all the people in our Chen family. ”
"Uncle Chen's words are serious" Murong Huaide helped the old man up again, and said with a smile, "My own family, you don't have to be so polite." ”
After that, he turned around and motioned for Dong Rong to step forward, and said with a smile, "This is Uncle Chen, the patriarch of the Chen family here, who had some friendship with me many years ago, and will move around more in the future." ”
Dong Rong nodded in response, and at the end of the salute again, the old man Chen hurriedly avoided the aside. However, Dong Ping smiled and helped Uncle Chen and said, "Sister, Wanyin is pregnant, I am in charge of Sister-in-law Chen, who is also pregnant with Uncle Chen's family, and has become a baby parent, Uncle Chen is a serious elder." ”
When Dong Rong heard this, how could she not guess that her younger brother acted like this in order to envelop the family surnamed Chen, so she insisted on saluting Old Man Chen. Old Man Chen insisted on calling himself a slave and kneeling on the ground to return the salute.
After a while, everyone finished greeting and continued on the road to the hidden bay where the previous ship was built, Devil's Bay. The big boat, which had been prepared with fresh water, was docked in the bay, rising and falling with the waves from time to time, which caused Zizhu Yunrui and Gardi to exclaim.
Dong Rong was also anxious to see her children as soon as possible, so she hastily ate lunch and said goodbye to the Chen family and got on the boat. Dong Rong was fortunate to have been on a luxury cruise ship in her previous life, and she was still mentally prepared for sea sailing, so even if the Chen family's boat was small and simple in her eyes, and it was very awesome when it was hit by the waves, she didn't feel any discomfort.
This made Dong Ping and Murong Huaide, who had been worried, secretly happy, and then saw that Yun Rui and the others had already fallen on the side of the boat and vomited to death, especially Galdi, Su De, and Wu Qien, who had been living in the grassland and had never left the land with their feet.
Dong Rong hugged Gardi and rubbed the back of his heart for him, and fed him a few sips of tea, and the kid barely stopped vomiting. After staying through the night, when he got up the next morning, Gardi followed Yun Rui around and looked around. Ukien was also strong and could walk around with a white face, but Sud had been lying in the cabin for three days, and if he hadn't heard Gardi shouting, he wouldn't have had the strength to get up.
Dong Rong leaned beside Murong Huaide, looking at the strange scene in front of her with amazement. It was originally very clear and the view was very clear on the sea, but at some point a dense fog area suddenly appeared. The milky white water vapor is permeated, like the purest milk flowing, blocking the line of sight tightly.
Seeing the ship sailing towards the fog, she hurriedly asked, "Is it too dangerous to sail in the fog?" ”
Murong Huaide smiled faintly, and before he could speak, Dong Ping had already shown his sister first, "Sister, we can only get to our new home through this misty area." As for the route of the boat, only our own family knows, if outsiders come in, the ship will definitely be destroyed and killed, don't think about getting closer to the Labyrinth Island. ”
Murong Huaide also said with a smile: "What Brother Ping said is that when I went out to play with Mr. Feng, when the boat arrived near here, there was a strong wind and waves on the sea. The Chen Bo family was also fishing here, and the boat was sunk by the waves, so I relied on my kung fu and led someone to save them on the boat. But the wind was too strong, and it was blown into the fog. Fortunately, God did not give up, and actually let the children of the Chen family stumble and find the correct sailing route, avoid the reef, and then see the big island inside.
Mr. Feng was very far-sighted, and he was afraid that I would be in trouble after my background was revealed, so he took the opportunity to occupy this island. I don't think I really need to live here now. ”
When Dong Rong heard this, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault, and the whole family has to take refuge here." ”
Murong Huaide smiled bitterly and sighed, "How many days have you been persuading, why do you still say this?" If I really want to complain, I shouldn't have left you and the child at home. Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable, which is your fault? ”
Dong Rong stopped talking, and snuggled herself more and more tightly into her husband's arms, and only after a long time did she respond, "Then I won't talk about it in the future, let's stay away from Daqi, and we can live a relaxed life." You don't have to pretend to be a fool, and I don't have to worry day or night that you'll be drawn into a battle for the throne. With your and my skills, we will soon be able to build this place into a paradise. ”
