Chapter 429: Dawn Hundred Days (Ask for Subscription!) )
The fat captain raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "I also know your thoughts, but I want to tell you here in advance, you can go to the shore to eat or buy some things, but you must return to the ship, because tomorrow morning, we have to leave." Those who can't return to the ship at the end of the unitary time can only take another boat and leave! ”
Although docked at the pier, for safety and to ensure that the boat leaves on time tomorrow, the boarding ladder will be retracted after the unitary hour, so those who are late will not be able to get on again.
Some of the people on this boat have taken a boat for the first time, such as Zhang Twelve, but more of them often take boats, so they all know this rule, and they are naturally full of words.
"Captain, dare you ask if you're going to go on your way tomorrow?"
At this time, a thin man who had never been noticed by Zhang Twelve before asked aloud, looking at that appearance, he was a little worried.
"Yes, rest at night, and naturally sail during the day, otherwise what are you doing here? Even if I agree, I'm afraid everyone won't agree, right? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
"However, tomorrow there will be strong winds and torrential rains, and it will be too unsafe to sail! I think the captain should rest for a day, and wait for the storm to pass before he can hurry! ”
The man didn't seem to be joking, and said with a serious face.
"Oh? Storm? Hahaha......"
When the fat captain heard this, it was as if he had heard a big joke, and he couldn't stop laughing, but his laughter sounded like a mockery mostly.
"The old man has been sailing for more than ten years, but he has never had an accident! And yesterday the stars were bright in the sky, and although the wind was strong today, the weather was fine! Even if it's windy tomorrow, there won't be heavy rain, right? But if it's really windy, it's good, just like today, I'm afraid I'll be able to walk a lot more! ”
Captain Fat said confidently.
"But tomorrow there will be a storm!"
After the emaciated man said this, he saw that others did not believe him, and immediately explained: "Although the sky was full of stars last night, it was much dimmer than usual, and in the second half of the night, the stars in the south were much dimmer than those in the north, which also indicates that there will be weather changes in the south!" I don't believe you can observe it tonight, if you guess well, in the second half of the night, the southern star will not be bright again! ”
Seeing him say so matter-of-factly, some people have already begun to shake in their hearts, could it be really the same as he said, the stars are abnormal in the second half of the night, and there will be a storm tomorrow?
Finding that everyone already believed it, the fat captain was very unhappy, on this ship, he was the decision-maker, but he didn't expect this man to bewitch the crowd and challenge his authority, which made him disgusted!
"Dare to ask this son, how do you know the difference between the stars? It's not convincing just because you say it so casually! ”
Hearing the fat captain say this, the emaciated man bit his lip and almost stopped opening his mouth, as if there was something unspeakable.
Seeing this scene, the fat captain showed a sneer on his face: "Hehe, could it be that the son is self-taught?" If that's the case, it's really unconvincing! ”
"The family teacher is "Xiao Baitian"! ”
The emaciated man finally said this!
"Xiao Baitian?"
Hearing this name, everyone was stunned!
But the "Dawn Hundred Days" who can know how good or bad the weather is in 100 days? ”
"Didn't you hear that he has been arrested by the government?"
"Isn't it, there is obviously a flood, but he has repeatedly assured that the weather is fine, otherwise how can the grain in the south be harvested?"
“…………”
Everyone talked about it, and Zhang Twelve also heard it, as if this man's master "Xiao Baitian" was still a celebrity, a fierce man who knew the weather forecast through the stars!
However, before the flood disaster last year, "Xiao Baitian" also predicted once, and at that time, someone felt that the weather was likely to rain heavily, so he asked him.
At that time, this "dawn hundred days" was also ashamed to say that there was no heavy rain and floods, and the south would continue to have good weather for nearly a month until the end of the grain harvest!
The common people listened to him, so they let the rice grow with confidence, and when the rainstorm came, it was too late to harvest the grain again, and in the end they could only watch all the grain being blown away by the flood!
Therefore, after this incident came out, all the people went to this "Xiao Baitian" to ask for an explanation, but by the time they found his house, there was no one to be seen......
Some people say that he knew that he had done something wrong, so he secretly ran away, and some people said that he was arrested by the people of the government, anyway, there are different opinions, and no one knows his specific whereabouts, but I didn't expect to see his apprentice today!
…………
"Hehe, Xiao Baitian's apprentice?"
The fat captain sneered and said, "Your master can't predict that you can't run, what kind of master are you?" ”
"yes, yes! If it weren't for him, how could food prices in the south be so high? ”
"That's right, it's because of his master that there are homeless people!"
"Where has your master gone? Did you know? ”
A group of scholars from the south felt the impact of the soaring food prices in the south, so after hearing that the emaciated man was an apprentice of "Xiao Baitian", they told him fiercely.
And Zhang Twelve looked at this scene with some emotion.
Nowadays, the rise in grain prices may have something to do with the "dawn of a hundred days", but the most direct relationship is because the grain village itself raised the price!
They don't go to trouble people like Zhao Qingfeng, but they besiege the apprentices of "Xiao Baitian", which is really embarrassing!
And his impression of the emaciated man is okay, in terms of physiognomy alone, he doesn't look like a flamboyant and deceitful person, and his master doesn't know what is going on here, he doesn't comment on things he doesn't know, and he naturally won't put any labels on people he doesn't know.
"Ladies and gentlemen! He is just an apprentice, how can he know the whereabouts of his master? Don't be embarrassed for him, just give me Zhao a certain face, okay? ”
At this time, it was Zhao Qingfeng who took the initiative to come forward to relieve him, and even Zhang Twelve was a little puzzled: Could it be that he did this to leave a good impression on Princess Yilan?
It's really a fight!
Only then did everyone stop arguing, and the fat captain came out again and said, "This son, since Zhao Gongzi has spoken, we will no longer embarrass you!" But don't say anything more about the storm! ”
As he spoke, he glared at him fiercely, as if it was unbearable to be labeled as "Xiao Baitian's apprentice"!
The emaciated man sighed helplessly, he wanted to distinguish a few more words, but when he saw the disgusted and contemptuous gazes cast at him by everyone, his heart was cold......
I don't want to say a word.
He left his hometown when he was a child and went to Jinling to learn night stargazing with his master "Xiao Baitian", and he really knew that Master would hardly predict failure.
But last year, his master suddenly gave him a large sum of money and asked him to return to his hometown of Dianyang, he resisted, but was scolded by his master, telling him not to ask anything, and not to say that he was his student in the future!
At that time, he was frightened, and thought that he had done something wrong and had to go back to his hometown, thinking that he would go back after a while when the master's anger was calmer......
However, half a month later, heavy rains broke out in the south, floods were rife, and grain production was lost, all because his master's prediction failed to tell the truth, he didn't believe it at the time, but his master disappeared and was never found again......
Now, when he reported the name of the master, others didn't even believe him, he even understood a little, why did the master finally let him never say that he was his student again! It's protecting him! He knew in advance that there would be such a day!
Therefore, he believed that the master must have a hard time......
But he didn't know what it was for......
…………
The boat slowly approached the dock.
When the ship came to a stop, those destined for Dianyang disembarked first, while others who had come ashore to improve their food were behind.
The emaciated man walked ahead, apparently about to disembark in Dianyang.
After the fat captain saw it, he sneered, and said in a weird manner: "No wonder let us stay for a day before leaving, dare to love that you have already disembarked from the ship, and how much time you delay after that has nothing to do with you, right?" ”
Seeing that the emaciated man lowered his head and was silent, the fat captain came to his senses: "Hehe, the master is not a good person, and the apprentices he taught are not very good!" Bah! ”
He took a hard sip as he spoke.
And the emaciated man didn't raise his head from beginning to end, but clenched his fists and walked down quickly, attracting a group of people behind him to heckle and laugh!
…………
This is just a small episode, and when there are fewer people, Zhang Twelve is also ready to take Princess Yilan ashore to improve the food.
At this time, Zhao Qingfeng secretly beckoned to him, and Zhang Twelve walked over.
"Brother Tang, otherwise, you can tell Sister Ling, let's find a restaurant, with Zhao as the east, so that Zhao and Sister Ling can get to know each other?"
As he spoke, Zhao Qingfeng's pair of thief eyes were still looking at Princess Yilan, and Mo Li, who provoked him, glared at him fiercely, startled him, and immediately withdrew his eyes.
Zhang Twelve sneered in his heart, but his mouth was embarrassed: "Brother Feng, in fact, I also want to do this, but I think it's still early, after all, my sister doesn't have much impression of you, if you are so impatient, it is easy to be quick and you will not reach it!" ”
"So what should I do?"
Zhao Qingfeng had already regarded Zhang Twelve as his brother-in-law who could help him, so he didn't doubt it, and asked directly.
"From the point of view, Brother Feng is in a hurry, but he can knock on the side and leave a good impression on his sister!"
"Oh? For example? ”
Zhao Qingfeng became interested, thinking that there is such an understanding person to help him, reliable!
"For example, when we go ashore, we will find a restaurant to eat, and Brother Feng can also go in to eat, but he doesn't have to share the table with us, but Brother Feng can shout in the restaurant at that time, all the money for today's meal is up to you! In this case, not to mention the younger sister, even other women will be thrilled when they see Brother Feng so bold and magnificent......"
Zhang Twelve has already started the mode of wrongdoing.
"That's ...... Really? ”
Zhao Qingfeng asked a little uncertainly.
"Naturally, it's okay, but if Brother Feng feels that he needs to spend too much money, it doesn't matter if he doesn't do it. The things that make my sister increase their favorability can be delayed......"
“…………”
Zhao Qingfeng is not afraid of anything, he is afraid of excitement!
No, after Zhang Twelve finished speaking, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't stand it: Isn't it just money? As the young owner of the largest grain village in Jinling and even the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing he lacks now is money!
"Not necessarily! Just do what Brother Tang said! But please Brother Tang say a few more kind words for me in front of Ling Mei! ”
"It must be, it's nature!"
Zhang Twelve smiled and patted Zhao Qingfeng twice, thinking that this big fool had also deceived a little......
…………
Zhang Twelve lowered his head and whispered to that Zhao Qingfeng behind him, and from time to time he showed a cheap smile, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, Mo Li immediately frowned.
"What are you rubbing? Hurry up! ”
Mo Li's cold voice came from the front, and Zhang Twelve smiled helplessly at Zhao Qingfeng, and walked up quickly.
And Zhao Qingfeng heard Mo Li's cold words just now, and he was a little glad in his heart: It's better not to eat with them, otherwise she will not be in the mood to eat anymore if she says a few words......
Perhaps because of the relatively large passenger flow next to the wharf, there are two or three restaurants next to it, and the scale is okay.
Standing at the door, he could already smell the aroma inside, and Zhang Twelve couldn't help but move his index finger.
Don't say it's him, even Princess Yilan and Mo Li have eaten enough of that noodle, and now the restaurant is in front of them, and everyone is looking forward to it!
Zhang Twelve chose the most magnificent and highest-spec one built in these restaurants and walked in, in his experience, the price of this one should be the highest anyway, there is a big wrong, you can spend it as you want!
And Zhao Qingfeng, who was walking behind, saw Zhang Twelve and them enter this restaurant, and hurriedly followed.
Although it was still early, there were not a few empty tables in the store, and I am afraid that they were all people who had just come off the boat to improve their lives!
chose a table against the wall and sat down, Zhang Twelve found that the thin man who was on the boat just now was also sitting in the corner, and there was still a bowl of noodles in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little pitiful: eating noodles on the boat, eating noodles when he got off the boat, if life can be lived, who would choose to live so hard?
First beckoned Xiao Er over, pointed to the table, ordered two hard dishes, and asked him to record them in his account anyway, he was wronged and treated, so be a favor!
At the same time, I ordered more than ten dishes for my table, and they were basically the most expensive hard dishes in the store, looking at this plate of hard dishes going up, Lu San and Du Lang next to him were about to drool, Zhang Twelve smiled and said: "You two sit down and eat together, otherwise how can you finish eating so many dishes?" ”
The two glanced at each other, a little twisted, how could they share a table with Miss Childe?
Zhang Twelve couldn't stand the two of them pretending to be ink, and said dissatisfied: "If you two don't eat it, I'll ask you two for another bowl of noodles!" ”
“…………”
When Du Lang and Lu San heard this, they were shocked, they were about to vomit when they ate noodles on the boat, and they were going to die if they ate noodles when they got off the boat!
Hurriedly sat down, looking very funny......
