Shen Zhaoyan frowned, strange in his heart, when he went, he saw that Zhao Ye was about to leave, which showed that Zhao Ye knew, but why didn't he stop it? He questioned, "Are you sure they were loading in small boats?" ”

"It's true!" Rong Liu said affirmatively: "Tomorrow is the day to go to sea, can you exchange it temporarily?" Moreover, their boats were chained and could not be easily unfastened. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Chains?" Shen Zhaoyan couldn't help but wonder even more, what is the special use of locking it with iron chains?

"I heard that Zhao Ding also deliberately swam in the water in the boat in the morning, although the boat is small in size, but the ride is stable, the speed is fast, it is like walking on the ground." Rong Liu told all the things he had heard: "I heard that Zhao Ding was originally very angry and was not ready to give him the goods, so this little boss took him on the boat for a swim, and Zhao Ding actually changed his mind on the spot." ”

Mingde really couldn't understand: "The boat itself is not strong, it can't withstand the wind and waves, and it is locked together with iron chains, isn't it a pot of paste?" If one fails, won't the other ships suffer? What kind of awesome is this little boss? It's stupid! ”

Rong Liu smiled, looked at Mingde for a long time, and said, "Zhao Ding is not as smart as you, he can't see it?" ”

Mingde pursed his lips, knowing that he was bored, and simply closed his mouth.

"Young Master, you said that this chain lock ship, is there any trick in it?"

Shen Zhaoyan shook his head, his brows furrowed, and he fell into meditation.

"Didn't the sixth master ask knowingly? The Shen family has only been doing business on the water in recent years, how could the eldest young master know about the ship? Mingde smacked his lips and said. When he saw that Shen Zhaoyan didn't know, he glanced at Rong Liu: This doesn't let the eldest young master go down!

Rong Liu spread his hands helplessly.

"Then have you inquired about this kid's origins? I hadn't seen this person in Huanjing before. Matilda asked curiously.

"This person shouldn't be from Huanjing, not only you, many people are curious about his whereabouts, and I heard the people around Zhao Ding say that this short little boss seems to be surnamed 'Zhong'. Other than that, I haven't found out anything else, and the identity of this person is quite mysterious. Rong Liu said.

Shen Zhaoyan's eyes froze, and his eyes rippled slightly.

"Surname Zhong?" Mingde glanced at Shen Zhaoyan and muttered in a low voice, "Such a coincidence? ”

Rong Liu was also stunned, and suddenly realized: "I always called 'Liyue, Liyue', I forgot her surname Zhong." Not to mention, looking at his figure, he does look a little similar to Liyue. ”

"It's just a coincidence!" Matilda quickly denied it. He glanced at Shen Zhaoyan and squeezed his eyes at Rong Liu.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Rong Liu didn't understand what he meant, and asked directly.

Matilda tilted his head away speechlessly. It's really a pot that can't be opened!

"Mingde, adjust my arrangements for tomorrow, and we'll meet this person." Shen Zhaoyan suddenly said in a deep voice.

Mingde immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

After coming out of Shen Zhaoyan's house, Mingde glared at Rong Liu, and said, "Sixth Master, you are too eyeless!" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Eiroku asked innocently.

"I winked at you for a long time to tell you not to mention Liyue again." Matilda said.

"Why?" Rong Liu was stunned and asked puzzled.

"Hey~! For some reason, the last time the eldest young master met with a boss in the restaurant to talk about something, and just after talking about it and preparing to leave, Li Yue suddenly appeared, they entered the house and talked for a while, I was waiting outside, and suddenly saw Li Yue crying and running out of it, and then the eldest young master also came out of it with a gloomy face. Mingde sighed and said, "Don't you think that the eldest young master has always been a little restless recently?" ”

Rong Liu knew it in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Oh! I see. ”

"What are you laughing at? Do you know why? ”

"It's a shame that you've been with the eldest young master for so many years, and you don't understand this? What a hairy boy after all! Rong Liu smiled, "It's not early, hurry up and go back and rest!" ”

Mingde looked at Rong Liu's back in confusion and scratched his head. What does the sixth master mean by this?

The next day, Huanjing Wharf. The sky was dark, Zhong Liyue got up early, washed her face indiscriminately and went straight to the dock.

The workers at the dock came very early, and they were already sweating profusely at this time, and they walked along the dock all the way, and Zhong Liyue saw that the boatmen of the various dart bureaus were struggling to carry the goods to the ship. Zhong Liyue walked to the end and saw that Ping Yuyao had arrived and was directing the shipwrights to do things.

"Zhao Ye, they haven't come yet?" Zhong Liyue went over, said hello first, and then asked directly.

Ping Yuyao shook his head and explained: "There is still a stick of incense before the selected auspicious time, and today's maiden voyage cannot be early." ”

Zhong Liyue suddenly felt guilty, she almost misunderstood others.

Suddenly, Ping Yuyao took out something from his arms and handed it to her, Zhong Liyue looked down, and her eyes suddenly lit up: Mask?

"There is also the Shen family's boat here, I'm afraid that Boss Shen will come over today, so I hurriedly bought a pair on the way back yesterday, you wear it first, and when I come back and have time, ask someone to tailor a pair for you." Ping Yuyao said.

Zhong Liyue held the mask and looked at Ping Yuyao with slightly surprised eyes. She understands his income, and gave her the money yesterday, it is estimated that he is already stretched, and he bought her this again, he can think about her difficulties and put himself in her shoes, she is really moved.

It doesn't matter how much a person gives you, what matters is that what he gives you is all he has, or is it a drop in the ocean of what he has?!

To have such a friend in this life, Zhong Liyue feels that it is worth it!

"Thank you, you thought so thoughtfully!" Zhong Liyue put it on and quipped: "Later, Zhao Ye will come, and when he sees that we are all dressed up like this, he thinks we are some kind of mask gang!" ”

"Don't say it's Zhao Ye." Ping Yuyao glanced at the boatmen on the side and said in a sneer. When the boatmen saw them like this, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and they stared at them and snickered as if they were strange people.

"Just watch, I'll charge them later!" Zhong Liyue muttered in a low voice. Then she raised her chin arrogantly, and said, 'I'm a mask controller, can't I?' Let them look at it.

As soon as Zhong Liyue's words fell, Ping Yuyao saw the delivery team appear, "They're here." ”

The leader was a big man in his early thirties, he saw the mask on Zhong Liyue and Ping Yuyao's faces, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked up to them with a trace of trepidation, arched his hand and asked uncertainly, "May I ask which one is Boss Zhong?" ”

"I am." Zhong Liyue said solemnly without anger.

"The villain was sent by Zhao Ding and Zhao Ye," he bowed his head to Zhong Liyue and introduced himself respectfully: "I am specifically responsible for escorting this cargo." My surname is Sun. ”

Zhong Liyue smiled, her eyes clear. Yesterday, Zhao Ye lost a game, and today he specially sent someone else to do this, in order to prove that he didn't care very much and wanted to break back a game. Hehe!

"The auspicious time is coming, let's go over!" Ping Yuyao said.

When a ship is launched from the slipway and travels far for the first time, there must be a maiden ceremony. This ritual is like the birth of a child and the infinite hope that parents give to it, and the meaning is very important to these ships.

They came to the altar where the gods were worshipped, and were about to offer incense and worship, when an uninvited guest came. (To be continued.) )
