Everyone was looking at Liu Jing.

They were waiting for her to explain: why did she drive them away when they were still in a difficult situation, and she was not worried about their character? Was she afraid that they would plot to make these salt goods work out? Thinking that they stand up to the sky, for the sake of faith, they can easily throw away this head, this little white face in front of them, what kind of person do they think they are?

In the angry eyes of the crowd, Liu Jing's face became whiter and whiter. She smiled bitterly, swallowed a mouthful of phlegm involuntarily, lowered her head and squeezed deeply at them, and sighed, "Mu Jun is wrong. The reason why Liu is ready to part with the monarchs is precisely because he wants the monarchs to relieve Liu's worries. She said solemnly: "Liu watched the sky at night, and it is expected that tonight or tomorrow, the sky will warm up, and the wind will go southeast. And if you can leave today, you will be able to take with you a thousand pounds of salt and ride a dozen horses, so that our ship will be half lighter, and our speed will be twice as fast. In this way, when the southeast wind came, Liu was afraid that he had already arrived at his destination. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled slightly, and said in a very seductive voice: "When you return home this time, your wives and children and parents will be very happy. This trip was less than three months away, not only was I able to go home to spend the New Year with them, but I also earned money, I also got salt that could be used for a few years at home, and I could also make several sets of clothes for my parents, wives and children. When these words were spoken, many people moved in their hearts, and their eyes looked at her, no longer as tense as they were just now.

Her reasons are full, after all, among the people on this boat, only she Liu Jialangjun is a literate reader, and now, she predicts that the wind will change, and half of the prodigal sons listen to it, and half of them are admired, and those who suspect her are making it up, but they can't find a reason to refute it, and her attitude towards them is really respectful and polite, so that they have nothing to say, no thorns to pick.

In a moment of silence, Liu Jing clapped her palms and shouted, "Uncle Lu, go and move all the silk and salt for you to the deck." ”

"That's good, Dalang." Uncle Lu answered loudly and led the servants towards the bilge.

Looking at the horses of silk on the deck, and at the sparkle of these good-textured silks in the sun, the prodigal sons gradually became excited, especially when the bags of salt were brought to the deck, and many of them were already flushed with faces, and their mouths could not be closed with smiles.

In the blink of an eye, the silk and salt promised by Liu Jing had been placed in front of everyone, pointing to a small pile of food bags, Liu Jing bowed respectfully to Mu Ji and the others, and said politely: "This salt, I have to bother the gentlemen to exchange it for gold, and then return it to the people in the horse farm." Speaking of this, she raised her voice and said loudly: "You also know that these salts of ours are intercepted from Haoqiang. Those heroes, no matter which one they are, are people who regard human life as a mustard. If they know that everyone here has participated in the robbery of them, then whether it is to vent their anger or to maintain their strong face, they will kill us for thousands of miles. Therefore, this time, all the kings of Wanwang closed their lips tightly, and no one said or showed them. When all the prodigal sons nodded their heads, Liu Jing turned to Mu Ji and the others, and said solemnly: "Liu asked Mu Jun to exchange all this salt for gold and then return the money for hiring horses, but he also didn't want the people in the horse farm to be suspicious. ”

After Mu Ji glanced at her, he lowered his head and arched his hand, "Xiao Langjun, don't worry." Although he was unwilling, he finally agreed. At that moment, Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole legs were weak.

After the cargo ship had been driving for a while, a suitable beach appeared in front of it. Liu Jing motioned to the servants of the Liu Mansion to help the prodigals, carry the silk and salt to the shore and set them up, and then lead the horses ashore.

After doing all this, Liu Jing waved towards the prodigal sons, and said loudly: "Thank you for your help, there will be a period later." In the midst of the prodigal sons returning the salute one by one, the cargo ship slowly sailed away.

Looking at the cargo ship that was getting farther and farther away in the golden light, Mu Ji's eyes were clouded, and while the prodigal sons were discussing where to sell all the salt, he dragged the two closest friends to the woods, first glanced at the distant cargo ship in a ghostly manner, Mu Ji turned his head to look at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, Brother Zhang, this Liufu child snatched this cargo from others with our strength. He is only a child, and he only moved his mouth a few times from beginning to end, but he can get this great benefit, and I am really angry. ”

At this point, he paused and looked at the two seriously.

The man surnamed Cheng is tall and sturdy, with a beard on his face. Hearing this, he squinted at Mu Ji and said unhappily: "Ah Ji, my husband, act above board, you see that he is not angry, and he should not accept his generous gift just now." Now that the goods are in hand, there is such a thing, do you want to do the villain's thing? ”

Mu Ji obviously didn't expect him to say this, his face changed at the moment, and he reluctantly smiled for a while: "Brother Cheng is wrong, what he surnamed Xiao'er is also doing is a villain's thing, I just want to learn from him." Speaking of this, he saw that the surnamed Cheng looked more and more disapproving, so he hugged his fist at him and said in a whisper: "Brother Cheng doesn't like it, so he didn't hear it." ”

The man surnamed Cheng snorted heavily, shook his hand and strode away. Looking at his back, the man surnamed Zhang approached Mu Ji and whispered: "Big brother, I said this guy is stubborn a long time ago, what are you asking him to come over?" I was spit on for nothing! ”

Mu Ji's face was also ugly, and he said in a low voice: "How do I know that this guy even has to protect someone like Xiao'er surnamed Liu?" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the man surnamed Cheng, and said with dark eyes: "If he doesn't participate, he won't participate, anyway, with that guy's character, he won't help that surnamed Liu deal with us." He approached the man surnamed Zhang, lowered his voice and said carefully: "Brother Zhang, the strong beam that borrowed our horse is my old friend, hurry up and rush to him, it's only a day's journey." You said, if we tell me the whereabouts and situation of the child surnamed Liu, he will come forward to intercept the goods......"

As soon as his voice fell, the man surnamed Zhang swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "How much can you and I share?" ”

"No less than forty percent."

"So, we'll go right away! Wait, that Xiao'er surnamed Liu's boat has gone far, what if I can't catch up? ”

Mu Ji smiled, lowered his voice and said proudly: "There are more than four hundred miles of waterways ahead, and there are no tributaries!" How can you catch up? Besides, if they can't catch up with the ship, they will always ship, right? We are waiting for the rabbit to be completed in Jixian County! Mu Ji said this, his purple face was already red, and he thought excitedly: It is difficult to make money in this world, and I Mu Ji has been poor for many years, and I want to offend Qiang Liang, but I don't have the ability. This little child surnamed Liu is different, robbing him or killing him, just by virtue of the women and children of his family, there will not even be a master who complains for him! If such a deceitful person does not deceive, won't I go to the world in vain?

The man surnamed Zhang grinned excitedly when he heard this, and couldn't wait to shout, "Then what are you waiting for?" Aren't we going to return the horse? Let them hire their own car and go home, and we'll send the horses back right away! ”

"Yes, that's it."

What happened on the shore, Liu Jing and the others didn't know anything.

As soon as the cargo ship departed, she and the six servants went back to the base cabin, and while inspecting the salt cargo in the cabin, Liu Jing frowned frequently.

On one side, Uncle Lu, who also had a bad face, muttered: "Da Lang, those swingers have been driven away, so what to do with all this salt?" We don't know where those smugglers usually handle their goods. ”

Liu Jing frowned, took out from her sleeve pocket what all the prodigal people had seen and heard in the past forty days, and after looking at it for a while, she said: "There is a place, and it is still nearby, and it is a place called Jixian." She closed the paper silk and said with a wry smile: "The question now is not where to ship, but how to ship!" Those smugglers are all local strongmen, and I am afraid that as soon as we open our mouths, they will know that we are laymen, and then we will be ruined by someone who eats black again. ”

This is indeed a problem.

Uncle Lu frowned and thought for a while, and said seriously to Liu Jing: "Da Lang, a few of us are husbands who have seen the world outside, so let's discuss this matter." ”

Liu Jing shook her head, and she said in a low voice: "I still have to think about it, and I have to think about it......"

With that, she turned and walked back to the deck.

Liu Jing thought about it for a whole day and a night. When another rising sun rose, she was still standing on the deck and contemplating.

I think she Liu Jing is seventeen years old, and she has read three cars, but she has been trapped in the boudoir for so many years, and her experience is too little. Besides, dealing with Qiang Liang Haojie and dealing with this kind of illegal and forbidden thing has always been too far away from her world, even in the book, she has never mentioned it at all.

No matter how she thinks, Liu Jing is helpless.

She took out the record from her sleeve pocket again and looked at it, and after a while, Liu Jing called, "Uncle Lu, come over here." ”

"What's the matter with Dalang?" Uncle Lu trotted behind Liu Jing and cautiously probed, "Da Lang has come up with an idea?" ”

Liu Jing pointed ahead and said, "We should not be far from a place called Reedang...... Uncle, I think if I can, I will choose a secret place in the reeds to hide this boat. Wait until we have the news completely clear, and then we will start the boat. ”

What she said made a lot of sense, thinking that the cargo ship would be hidden, and those who wanted to track them would not even have a target. Uncle Lu hurriedly responded: "Okay, just listen to Da Lang." ”

Now that the discussion was properly made, the cargo ship was moving at full strength, and everyone thought that the northwest wind was not strong, so that the sailboat could not go fast, and they also helped to row the pulp.

After rowing for a long time, when the sun was in the middle of the sky, in everyone's field of vision, a large area of reeds appeared in the river channel on the right. The reeds were deep and dense, and at the end of the reeds were a large forest. Whether it is a reed or a wood, they are all immersed in the river, and if you think of a way, you may be able to find a place to hide the cargo ship.
