Chapter 533: Thunder and storm
It was the twilight of spring, and after a thunderstorm, the silver filaments in the sky poured down to the ground in an instant, and suddenly stirred up a vast rain and fog. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, Luo Qingran was practicing calligraphy in the study, and seeing that the last stroke was about to end, a thunderbolt suddenly broke out, and suddenly her hand shook, and a good picture of the word was ruined.
Put down the pen, turned his head and walked out of the small study, Banxia was putting the window drawer, through the half-placed window, Luo Qingran vaguely saw that the begonias in the courtyard were swaying from side to side by the wind, as if they were about to withstand the wind and rain.
Luo Qingran's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Banxia ......"
"Miss, what's wrong?" Banxia closed the window and turned his head to look at Luo Qingran.
Luo Qingran opened his mouth, and found that he didn't know what to say, so he had to shake his head and say that it was okay.
Banxia blinked, although it was a little strange, but she didn't think too much about it.
The rain was falling urgently, and he couldn't go out, so Luo Qingran could only pick a book and sit absentmindedly to read.
The hour was getting late, and the thunderstorm that I thought would stop after a gust of rain had no intention of stopping.
On the eve of dinner, the old lady said that it was raining heavily and it was cold, so they just let each eat in their own garden, and they didn't have to go to Yuanxiangtang to accompany her.
Luo Qingran absentmindedly had dinner.
Banxia took the people to clean up, and saw Luo Qingran sitting still in a daze, and couldn't help but worry.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be a little distracted, slave? ”
Luo Qingran's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he muttered, "Banxia, when do you think this rain will stop?" ”
In fact, she was a little worried, today is the day when Zhang Si and Shopkeeper Li transported illicit salt out of Surabaya, according to their plan, when the ship leaves the boundary of Surabaya, the prince's people will go to rob the ship, and Mu Qiubai's people will beat the robbers "accidentally" and take over this batch of illicit salt.
But the plan didn't expect such a heavy rain to fall suddenly, and the wind and rain in the city were so urgent, I don't know what the situation is on the river?
Since the afternoon, her heart has always been up and down, and she is very uneasy, but something must not go wrong......
Luo Qingran was worried, the wind and rain were fierce, and sometimes accompanied by thunder, the situation on the river was naturally not calm.
Shopkeeper Li was seasick, although his two cronies said that they had kung fu to keep an eye on the goods, so they naturally couldn't get out, so they could only ask Zhang Si to help and take care of one or two in Shopkeeper Li's cabin.
Zhang Si went out this time at the request of Shopkeeper Li, and he was single-handed, and at this time, others couldn't get out of Shopkeeper Li's cabin, so naturally there was no way to send a signal to them.
The hour was getting late, the night was dark and windy, Zhang Si was very anxious, and he was always trying to find an excuse to go out.
But the more anxious he was, the more Shopkeeper Li pulled his sleeve and didn't let go, no matter how anxious Zhang Si was, he couldn't leave at this time, he had to find a reasonable reason.
In contemplation, the hull of the ship shook violently again, and the retching sound of Shopkeeper Li was endless.
Zhang Si moved his wit, and held the arm of the shopkeeper Li and said urgently: "Brother Li, there is a family heirloom medicine powder in the baggage of the lower cabin, which is very effective in treating seasickness, go down and get it for you." ”
Shopkeeper Li took a quick breath, and grabbed Zhang Si's hand and trembled, "Quick... Go, you... Don't say it sooner... I... ...... vomit"
"Brother Li, wait a moment, wait a minute, I'll come when I go!" Zhang Si ran out in the wind.
Shopkeeper Li watched him walk in a hurry from behind, and his heart was full of admiration and emotion.
What I envy is why Zhang Si didn't get seasick, why didn't he lose half his life? Naturally moved, he thought that Zhang Si was anxious and really cared about his body.
This boss Zhang seems to be a really good person, Shopkeeper Li thought distractedly.
But before he could distinguish his god for a moment and a half, he ushered in a more violent shaking sensation.
Shopkeeper Li's face turned blue, and he grabbed the futon and vomited heartbreakingly.
Zhang Si ran out of the main cabin step by step, and the thugs on the board of the ship wearing robes and hats turned around and asked him loudly how he had come out.
Zhang Si replied with a snark voice: "I'll get medicine for Shopkeeper Li." ”
The thugs waved vigorously and told him to go.
Zhang Si grabbed the side of the ship and walked forward with difficulty in the wind and rain, and finally returned to the cabin where he was, and he opened the small window on the west side slightly, and looked behind him through the dense rain curtain.
The rain was falling too quickly, the sky was dark, and the vision was blocked, Zhang Si looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see the situation behind their boat.
I can only vaguely see a little fishing fire extinguished.
When the appointed hour came, they couldn't see their signals, they wouldn't act without permission, and if they didn't do anything, they would soon cross the river and enter the Yongji Canal, where there were heavy soldiers sent by the prince, and in front of the officers and soldiers, it would be difficult to rob the ship!
Zhang Si exhaled secretly and told himself that he couldn't rush.
He rummaged through the medicine for Shopkeeper Li while trying to figure out a way.
The boat shook so badly that if one was not careful, the burden at hand fell to the floor, and the medicine he was looking for fell out just now.
Zhang Si bent down to pick it up, and at this time, he happened to see another medicine powder bag next to the medicine bag.
Seeing this medicine bag, Zhang Si suddenly remembered that the night before leaving, the prince specially asked Ye Zhi to send him this, saying that it was for emergencies.
Zhang Si remembered that Ye Zhi said that this medicinal powder would glow when it met water, which was great, isn't it a special case now!
I didn't have time to think about it anymore, Zhang Si sprinkled this medicinal powder on the Jinpai he carried, the handkerchief was wet just now, and when it met the medicinal powder, it really began to shine.
He tied the handkerchief tightly to the fishing rod in the cabin, and stretched the rod out of the boat through the small window, shaking it vigorously to the outside.
"Boss Zhang, are you okay?" There was a sudden knock on the door of the cabin, and shouts could be heard outside the door.
Zhang Si turned around and shouted, "I'm fine!" Come right away," and then threw the rod into the river.
Hoping that Dark One could see the signal he sent, Zhang Si thought anxiously as he walked out.
Out of the hatch, sure enough, I saw one of Li's shopkeepers' henchmen waiting outside, and when I saw him open the hatch and come out, he glanced inside.
Zhang Si pretended not to see it, shook the medicine bag in his hand and shouted at him: "The medicine has been found, I will send it to Shopkeeper Li." ”
Seeing that there was nothing wrong in the cabin, the henchman stepped sideways and helped Zhang Si to send him back to Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li used the medicine, and as Zhang Si promised, he gradually got better, at least he was no longer vomiting, and he was in tears.
It's just a toss, he doesn't have much strength at all, so he thanked Zhang Si and asked his henchmen how it was.
The henchman cautiously replied, "It's all in the bilge, it's fine." ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded reassuringly.
Zhang Si knew why he was so worried, they were transporting private salt, once they saw the water, there would be nothing, not to mention that Shopkeeper Li was worried, he was also very worried!
