Heading south along the frustrated water, no one knew where the frustrated water was going. I only know the source of the frustrated water, but I don't know where the frustrated water returns. The frustrated water flows all the way down from the mountains to the north of Yidi, and the summer is the most vigorous period of the frustrated water.

Autumn and winter are the dry seasons of Fushui, and now it is mid-autumn, and the water level of the Fushui River has dropped significantly. This is the last trip of the World Chamber of Commerce to trade southward this year, and Lin Tian and his party are on this southbound ship.

Lin Tian was followed by Wu Yao and Badr, and as for Daru Huachi, who was traveling with him, he was already dizzy, and he didn't dare to go to the deck at all when he hid in the shipyard. Daru is a steppe man, accustomed to riding a horse, in Daru's words, riding a horse is swaying back and forth, while riding a boat is swaying from side to side. Daru, who was accustomed to swaying back and forth, was the most uncomfortable thing in his life to ride a boat.

And Lin Tian, Wu Yao, and these Dongyi people, have no orientation since they were children, and it will not be too difficult to adapt to this. At the beginning of the period, Lin Tian felt a little dizzy, because the ship-making technology of this era was not too clever, and it was not too good in terms of stable performance.

There were 2 merchant ships heading south this time, and these 2 ships were purchased by the Chamber of Commerce from the Phantom Flame Country in the south at a great price. In the past, the ships of the Chamber of Commerce were self-made by the Dongyi people, and they were far inferior to the current ships in terms of cargo volume, speed and performance. After the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce had money, it purchased 2 new ships from the Phantom Flame Country for round-trip trade, which had a significant improvement in speed and cargo volume.

These two ships have a relatively flat hull and 2-masted sails, which are still relatively fast in terms of speed, and the only drawback is that the ship turns slowly, especially when it encounters sharp bends, it is difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the Fu River is turbulent from north to south, and the river is straight, and there is no sharp turn. The water supply of the Fu River obviously comes from the glacial meltwater in the north, because it is not a seasonal river, which also leads to the fact that the water flow of the Fu River is very stable except for the dry season, so the river channel is relatively flat.

Even so, it would take a caravan a day or two to make a round trip. Lin Tian stood on the deck, looking at the vast and endless desert on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Yidi can be isolated from people all the time, there is such a big desert outside Yidi. ”

"yes, if it weren't for this desert protecting us, I'd be afraid that the south would conquer us."

Wu Yao's worries are not unreasonable, the prosperity of the south, the level of productivity, science and technology is far higher than that of razing, in Lin Tian's eyes, razing can be compared to the era of slash-and-burn farming, and the south has entered the era of farming, the collision of the two eras, it is bound to be a high-level era will win.

Lin Tian gradually went deeper into the desert, at a glance, there was a monotonous yellow everywhere, not even a tree, the vastness of the desert made Lin Tian and each of them feel tired, and it seemed that they would never be able to go out. It was almost noon, and the sun was rising so high that everyone's throat was smoking. This is Lin Tian, and they will all enter the cabin one after another to rest, and they will only come out in the evening to breathe.

Badr is in charge of the security of the caravan, and naturally he will accompany him on every trip, and after this time, he may have to temporarily abandon the caravan security, because he has more responsibilities.

"Cousin, you are too unkind, you ran away with Lin Tian, you are happy, but you handed over such a big stall to me, and let people live."

This is not the first time that Badr has complained to Wu Yao, Wu Yao wants to go south with Lin Tian, so he naturally has to hand over the matter at hand to a person who is trustworthy and not badly capable, and his cousin Badr is this person. Not to mention having an authentic kinship, and Badr's ability is not bad, the most important thing is that Badr will not leave Yidi, because Yidi has people he misses.

"Hehe, cousin Badr, I'm also for your good, when the time comes, you and Nitri will be able to talk to me every day, can't you thank me?"

"Thank you, really thank you to my dear cousin."

"Don't do that, cousin, or you'll get Nitri to work in the Chamber of Commerce when the time comes. Anyway, now the razing is very peaceful, and coming to the Chamber of Commerce is like being an overseer, and there is nothing to do. What about you? When the time comes, staying in Fenglin City every day won't be over, you say yes. In this way, you can't see her every day, so that your relationship will heat up quickly, and good things will come. ”

"Is this okay, she is the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and grandpa will agree?"

"Isn't this our Lin Sect Master, let Lin Tian have a letter of appointment, they can still disagree, besides, Nitri's father will also help."

In the evening, several people will go out on the deck to breathe and feel some coolness, and the taste of being stuffy in the cabin for a long time every day is not pleasant. Blowing a cool breeze will make Lin Tian very comfortable.

Lin Tian was blowing the wind in the bow of the boat, while Badr and Wu Yao were muttering and arguing in the back. Wu Yao stepped forward and patted Lin Tian, "Hey, let me tell you, I ran out without permission this time, and I can't leave anyone in charge of what I do." Why don't you just let Nitley take over my place in the Chamber of Commerce, and still help my cousin, how about that?" ”

Lin Tian heard more or less about Badr and Nitley. immediately said: "Okay, anyway, it's all my own people now, maybe we will be a family in the future, can I still believe it?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, a family, we are all a family, Lin Tian, you have to come on!"

Badr said with a smile on his face.

And Wu Yao blushed like a decent, looked at Lin Tian coquettishly, and ran back to the cabin, she blushed like a ripe apple, she was not embarrassed to stay in front of them.

Lin Tian looked at Wu Yao's figure and stretched out his hand to keep it, but he never opened his mouth. Lin Tian also understood that Wu Yao might be embarrassed, but Lin Tian didn't mean this when he said this, but he regarded Badr as a brother, and his brother's wife was naturally a close person!

"Brother, how's it going, where are you?"

When Badr was not around, he was very casual with Lin Tian in private, no different from before, and Lin Tian also liked this feeling very much. "What's going on, what's going on?" Lin Tian was still thinking about whether to go to Wu Yao and explain to Wu Yao the meaning of the sentence just now. This is Badr suddenly asked beside him, and he didn't react for a moment, so he asked the other party rhetorically.

"You kid, still pretending. Are you not interesting to my cousin, and you dare to say that you don't like her? ”

Badr said it very bluntly, which made Lin Tian a little embarrassed for a while. This kind of question is not so hypocritical from others, Lin Tian is a sincere child, so he answered honestly: "I like it." ”

"Then you kid is still pretending, oh, I see, you all like to be tactful, don't you? Let me tell you, this is not good, in my land, if you like someone, you have to be brave enough to say it, otherwise you won't have a share if you are preempted by anyone. You see, my cousin is not bad-looking, and she is very smart. There are more people who like her, so ah, you have to do it sooner, you know? ”

Badr said to Lin Tian in the tone of a love master.

Lin Tian nodded, thinking about Badr's words in his heart. "Okay, it's not early, go in early and rest, think more about my words!"

Badr stepped into the cabin, and suddenly a chill came from behind him. "Am I ugly?" Wu Yao stepped out of the shadows beside the stairs, and Badr was startled by the words.

"Cousin, it turns out that you are hiding here and eavesdropping. How about it, I'll help you ask what Lin Tian is thinking, how can you thank me? ”

Badr was like a child who had achieved good grades, holding the report card like a parent wanting a reward, and said to Wuyao with great interest.

"Let me ask you again, what do you mean that I am not bad, am I ugly?"

In fact, Wu Yao was very grateful to her cousin at the beginning, because Wu Yao finally knew Lin Tian's intentions. But Badr's words hurt her. A girl, or a young and beautiful girl like Wu Yao, cares very much about others evaluating her appearance, not to mention that she is still evaluating herself in front of her sweetheart, and this evaluator is still her own relative, which makes Wu Yao unbearable and angry.

The cold cold air approached Badr, Badr's heart trembled, it was over, and when he said it casually, he was actually heard by his cousin. In Badr's heart, the most beautiful woman in this world has no one but Nitri, which is also known as the lover's eyes, and Nitri is indeed good in appearance. Before Lin Tian came to Yidi, Nitri and Wu Yao were still relatively famous in Dongyi, and the reason why they were famous was not only because of their outstanding ability and their own conditions were really good, both of them were goddess-level beauties in the hearts of Dongyi people.

At this time, of course, it is necessary to know the current affairs, and Badr was moved, "Ah, cousin, you are the most beautiful, gentle, lovely, and extraordinary person in the world!" Don't say the word ugly in the future, this word doesn't deserve to appear in front of you, it doesn't deserve it. ”

Wu Yao temporarily dissipated a trace of anger, "Then what do you mean when you say in front of Lin Tian that I am not bad?" ”

"Cousin, we can't be too high-profile, if I say you too high, it's great, what if Lin Tian's kid feels unworthy of you and loses confidence, I'm thinking about you?"

Badr said pitifully.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time."

After speaking, Wu Yao seemed to remember something happy, and walked towards her room with a smile on her face and a happy mood.

Sister Nitley, you must forgive me, in my heart you are the most beautiful, gentle, lovely, and extraordinary person in the world, please forgive me for my dishonesty just now. After muttering to himself in his heart, Badr was not enough, and bowed deeply to the north with one hand on his chest, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

Lin Tian thought about Badr's words at the bow of the boat, and felt that it was true that he had a good impression of Wu Yao, but it was a little too early for him to confess now, in his worldview, he was now 19 years old and just an adult, and in his previous society, he was in his twenties before he got married, and it was too early for him to talk about this issue now. Therefore, he intends to keep this intention for a while, and wait for a few more years before thinking about this issue.
