Chapter 381: Visit
Zhou Yu's captain was a strong man in his early twenties, with a thick beard on his lips that made him look mature that didn't match his age.
Seeing the listless appearance of his team members, he shouted: "Everyone cheer up, the next period is up to us, we will rest here for a while now and check the equipment." ”
The team members did not speak, but sat together silently and took off the backpack behind them.
The backpacks of the expedition members were sewn from dinosaur butts, and they were even stronger than cowhide.
Wang Lang designed this kind of adventure bag based on a modern mountaineering bag, which can hold at least a dozen catties of things, but of course it is impossible for the team members to carry such heavy things on their backs for a long journey.
Most people only have one or two books in their backpacks, dry food to eat on the road, some first-aid medicines, and clean gauze.
And these expedition members still have a kettle made of dinosaur skin hanging from their waists, and the scattered equipment doesn't look much, but the weight is almost about ten catties.
Zhou Yu opened the backpack he was holding and carefully checked the contents of the backpack, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, he tied the backpack again.
After seeing that everyone had finished inspecting, the captain took a strange thing and looked at it repeatedly.
Zhou Yu had seen this thing, which, according to officials from the Ministry of Industry, was used in the navy and was called a compass.
This little thing can automatically distinguish between north and south, which is very amazing for these students.
But they knew that this was definitely not the power of some god, but a principle that they did not know, and this principle was not found in books at all.
The captain looked at the thin needle in the compass that trembled slightly, raised his head and looked around, and asked another student with the whole map of Shenzhou to take out the map.
Comparing the map, the captain said in a deep voice: "This is Dingbei City, we are now about twenty miles west of Dingbei City, J further west there should be a mountain range, we have also learned during training, minerals are generally easier to find in places with many mountains, we go here first, after looking for a period of time here, we will continue to go west, everyone see if there are any opinions." ”
"We listen to the captain."
The crowd replied.
The captain nodded, and said, "Alright, let's go west in this direction now, and we must find a suitable camp before dark." ”
Everyone cheered up, put on their backpacks, grabbed their weapons, and walked cautiously towards the west.
In Yancheng, when Wu Feng became familiar with his new identity after a month, he began to ponder about his life's events.
Although he is now an official of the fifth grade, he is still a little afraid of Lin Shilang in his heart.
This prospective son-in-law meeting his father-in-law is a challenge to men, both in ancient times and in modern times.
After struggling with his heart for a long time, Wu Feng finally made up his mind and went to Lin's house in person.
When Wu Feng's mother and adoptive father heard Wu Feng say that he would go to Lin Shilang's house to propose marriage, they both looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
In the past, Lin Shilang sent someone from home to propose his relatives regardless of the difference in identity.
Isn't it a joke that you rejected such a big figure at the beginning, and now you go to someone else to propose marriage.
"Feng, are you confused, don't you go to the Lin family now, don't you feel uncomfortable for yourself, Lin Shi is not allowed to beat you out." Wu Feng's adoptive father frowned and said.
"I also know it's very difficult, but I can't fly there, I promised Miss Lin to go to Lin's house after the exam, and now it's been a month, I can't delay it any longer." Wu Feng sighed.
"Miss Lin, which Miss Lin?" Mother Wu asked.
Wu Feng's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he said in a hesitant voice: "It's just... It's Lin Shilang's daughter. ”
The two were stunned when they heard this.
"When did you know Miss Lin, why haven't you ever mentioned it?" Mother Wu looked at Wu Feng with some surprise.
"It's a long story, mother, father, I must do this." Wu Feng's expression suddenly became serious.
The two looked at each other, and Father Wu sighed and said: "Forget it, the child can do whatever he wants, I have worked in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and I have heard people talk about Lin Shilang, although this person has a big temper, but he is still more reasonable, and he was more optimistic about our wind before, let him give it a try." ”
Mother Wu was silent for a while, looked at Wu Feng and said, "What are you going to do." ”
"This month's money has been sent, I want to use this money to buy something to go to the Lin family, no matter what the result is, I have to go." Wu Feng said in a deep voice.
"Your monthly income is only a few dollars, and Lin Shilang must not be able to look down on it, I have saved some money over the years, I will take it out for you in a while, buy some good ones and send them." Father Wu said slowly.
"Father!"
Wu Feng was very moved in his heart, although he was not born to the man in front of him, he almost regarded himself as his own, and it can be said that he was lucky to be able to grow up in the Wu family.
Father Wu got up from his chair and walked to his room.
After a while, he came out with a wooden box.
"Here's seventy dollars, you can take it."
Father Wu said as he put the wooden box on the table.
Wu Feng nodded, and didn't say much, took the box, got up and said, "Mother, then I'll go." ”
The two nodded, and watched Wu Feng walk out of the house with worried faces.
Wu Feng held the money box and walked on the crowded street, looking uneasy.
When passing by the square in the center of Yancheng, Wu Feng glanced at the bell tower under construction, the appearance of this clock tower has been completed, and he estimates that in two or three months, the building will be officially put into operation.
Ordinary people don't know what this is, but as a middle-level official of the Ministry of Industry, he naturally has no reason not to know.
He had seen the process of making clocks with his own eyes, and the intricate mechanical parts, with their beautiful gears, still shook his soul today.
What kind of wisdom can design such an exquisite machine, His Majesty the Emperor, the first wise man of Great Xia, has always been like an unattainable mountain, overlooking himself in the clouds.
This bit of wisdom of his own was as insignificant as an ant in front of him.
Wu Feng shook his head, didn't think about it, and after passing through the square, he came to the most prosperous street in Yancheng.
With this money, Wu Feng spent several hours purchasing, and in order to carry these things, he even went to the trading post to rent a vehicle before walking in the direction of the Lin family.
Lin family.
Lin Xin sat on a low stool in the courtyard, following a few female elders to prepare today's dinner, but it could be seen from her eyes that her heart was not here at the moment.
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the red sunset on the horizon sets off this huge city beautifully.
"Bumper bumper!"
There was a knock on the door.
The Wu family was a little surprised, there was basically no one to visit at this time, and they didn't know who would come at this time.
Lin Xin looked at the closed door, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
A woman put down the dish in her hand and went over to open the door.
When the courtyard door was opened, and the woman saw that the visitor was a strange young man, she asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"At this time, Lin Shilang's home!" Wu Feng said a little nervously.
The woman nodded and said, "It's Lin Shilang's family, you are... ”
"Oh, my name is Wu Feng, and I came to visit Lin Shilang today." Wu Feng hurriedly replied.
The woman looked at Wu Feng, muttering the name in her mouth, her face suddenly changed, she looked at Wu Feng in surprise, and said, "Are you the champion?" ”
Wu Feng smiled and said, "It's the student." ”
Seeing Wu Feng admit, the woman's expression became a little strange, it was not the first time she had heard of the name Wu Feng, in addition to the reason of the champion, it was more of Lin Shilang's middle mouth who did not know the current affairs.
Seeing the woman's expression, Wu Feng asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
The woman hurriedly shook her head and said, "No problem, you wait here, I'll tell my husband." ”
Wu Feng nodded and watched the woman hurriedly run towards the courtyard.
Back in the courtyard, the other two women asked curiously, "Sister, who is outside the door?" ”
"Well, you'll find out in a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
In the spacious and bright room, Lin Shilang was lying on a rocking chair, leisurely enjoying the evening sun, gently humming an unknown song, looking so comfortable.
"Husband!"
Hearing the woman's voice, Lin Shilang slowly opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong." ”
"Husband, someone is looking for you outside the door." The woman said with a strange expression.
"Somebody will let him in."
"This person's name is Wu Feng, and he is the champion this year."
Lin Shilang's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "I don't see." ”
The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "Husband, he is the champion of this year, and he is an official in the same dynasty as you, so it's not good to do this." ”
"What a bullshit champion, he made me lose face in front of my colleagues, I didn't trouble him, he dared to come to the door." Lin Shilang said in a cold tone.
"Okay, I'll let him go back." The woman shook her head and turned away.
Wu Feng suddenly appeared, completely messing up his rare good mood, and Lin Shilang was simply angry.
"The husband said, he doesn't see you, you better go back." After the woman finished speaking to Wu Feng, she wanted to close the courtyard door.
Wu Feng hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the courtyard door, and said, "Mrs. Lin, I must see Lin Shilang today, I am ready to propose marriage to the Lin family, and I want to marry Lin Xin." ”
The woman was taken aback by Wu Feng's actions, and when she heard Wu Feng's words, she sneered and said: "Marry Lin Xin, what did you do earlier, the husband is not happy because of this matter, don't say that the husband doesn't agree, I don't agree either, you go quickly." ”
Wu Feng struggled for so long before he made up his mind to come to the Lin family, and went back like this, how could he be willing, pulling his neck and shouting: "Lin Xin, Lin Xin." ”
Hearing that Wu Feng was Wu Feng's voice, Lin Xin's body trembled, and he was happy from his heart, ignoring the surprised eyes of the other two women, put down the work in his hand, got up and ran towards the courtyard gate.
Seeing the familiar figure, Wu Feng waved his hand excitedly: "Lin Xin." ”
Lin Xin stood not far away and nodded lightly at Wu Feng, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Seeing Lin Xin coming, the woman was a little angry, "What are you doing here, don't go back." ”
Lin Xin bit her lip and said, "Mother, let the wind in." ”
"Wind, it's so close, did you know each other before?" The woman glared at Lin Xin.
Lin Xin nodded, a little afraid to look directly at the woman's gaze.
Seeing that the woman was about to reprimand Lin Xin, Wu Feng hurriedly said, "Mrs. Lin, please don't blame Lin Xin, it's my fault." ”
The woman glared at Wu Feng and snorted coldly.
The noisy situation on the Lin family's side couldn't help but attract the attention of pedestrians on the street, and seeing more and more people looking at this side, the Lin woman's face was very ugly.
"You wait here." After the woman finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the courtyard.
At this time, Lin Xingang wanted to walk towards Wu Feng, but was grabbed by the woman, and said angrily: "What a nightmare you are doing, follow me to see your father." ”
Lin Xin was pulled by the woman with a sad face, and looked back at Wu Feng from time to time.
Lin Shilang's face was gloomy as water at this time, and he asked coldly, "Hasn't that person left yet?" ”、
The woman glanced at Lin Xin and said slowly: "Husband, then Wu Feng said that he came to the door to propose marriage." ”
When Lin Shilang heard this, he laughed angrily and said, "Heh, propose, he still has the face to come and propose." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Xin on the side, and said angrily: "Tell me what's going on." ”
Lin Xin's face was a little pale, and he whispered: "Father, I like Wu Feng." ”
"So you've known each other for a long time." Lin Shilang squinted.
Lin Xin nodded and said: "I've known each other for a while, but I met by chance, and later I learned that he was the one my father went to propose." ”
Lin Shilang gasped for breath, and he was about to hit Lin Xin when he did something.
Seeing this, the Lin woman hurriedly stopped and said, "Husband, now is not the time to beat Lin Xin, everyone else is watching outside, this matter is making a big fuss, and your face is not good-looking." ”
Lin Shilang held back his anger and said, "Let that guy come in, I'll see what face he has to come to see me." ”
After speaking, he said coldly to Lin Xin: "You kneel down for me." ”
Lin Xin's petite body trembled, and slowly knelt in front of Lin Shilang.
When the woman saw Wu Feng, she said expressionlessly, "Come in, my husband wants to see you." ”
Wu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded his head in practice, and hurriedly moved the things off the car.
The woman just glanced at it lightly, ignoring Wu Feng's actions and letting him put these messy things in the courtyard.
Wu Feng followed behind the woman and walked into the Lin family nervously.
