Meng Tianchu said last time that when this murder case was over, he would accompany Xia Fengyi and them to play. Now that the case is finally over, Feiyan shouted for Meng Tianchu to fulfill his promise, and Meng Tianchu himself wanted to go out for a walk, so he told Cai Zhixian, Cai Zhixian immediately agreed, and also proposed that they go to Baixian Island in the East China Sea to play, where the scenery is pleasant, and they can stay for a few days and come back.

Because before Meng Tianchu took office as the foreman of Hangzhou East Factory, the original foreman died of illness and had been managed by Chen Xingpeng, the secretary, so this time Meng Tianchu wanted to go to sea to play, so he handed over the affairs of the East Factory to Chen Xingpeng to manage.

The foreman is going to go to sea for a vacation, this is a good opportunity to pat on the back, Chen Xingpeng was busy arranging before and after, and he was soon ready.

In ancient times, of course, there was no travel agency, and there was not even a modern sense of tourism services, and Dongchang did not have its own navy, so Chen Xingpeng sent Fanzi to the beach to hire a sea boat.

Of course, Hangzhou Dongchang is vying to accompany and protect Meng Tianchu's family to go to sea, so in addition to a team of fifteen fanzi bodyguards led by the chief Yu Xinlong in Meng Tianchu's mansion, Xiao Zhenpeng also brought fifteen fanzi to accompany him.

Early the next morning, Meng Tianchu took Xia Fengyi and Feiyan, and under the protection of the thirty servants brought by Yu Xinlong and Xiao Zhenpeng, they rode to the beach in a carriage.

Dongchang Fanzi, who had already arrived in the early stage, loaded a boat of food, fruits and other things, and waited for Meng Tianchu and their arrival.

The ship was large and had two floors high. Half a football field is the size of a football field, Hangzhou East Factory is the six-product foreman to go to sea to play, safety is of course the first place, the fifteen fans assigned to Meng Tianchu's mansion are carefully selected martial arts strong people in Hangzhou East Factory, although Xiao Zhenpeng's fifteen fans are much worse in martial arts, but most of them are also good at slapping horses.

But as an official, there are two kinds of people around him, who are capable and can pat on the back, and if there is a lack of capable people, it is not possible to have no one to do the work, and they can't do the job or do things unsatisfactorily. And if there is a lack of sycophants, then this official will not be able to do well. It tastes much worse.

Now, Meng Tianchu has both kinds of people around him. Xiao Zhenpeng in order to take care of Mrs. Meng's convenience. also specially selected five Dongchang female fans to accompany them, who were specifically responsible for protecting and taking care of Xia Fengyi.

Set sail and head east. Depart early in the morning and arrive at Baixian Island in the evening.

Meng Tianchu This is the first time to do a sea boat, although there is a slight breeze, but this sea ship is very large, and it is not very bumpy. So they don't feel dizzy.

Xiao Zhenpeng set up tables and chairs at the bow of the ship. Put on the seasonal fruits, and invite Meng Tianchu and his wife to sit on the bow of the boat and enjoy the scenery. Feiyan stood behind them, happily talking to Xia Fengyi about the scenery of the sea from time to time.

The sea breeze is gentle, and the sky is full of white clouds. The sun hid in the clouds for a while, and then floated out again, although the sun after the Mid-Autumn Festival was not very roasting, Xiao Zhenpeng still set up a big parasol for Meng Tianchu and his wife to cool off.

At noon, five female fans brought wine and food and dined at the bow of the boat.

Meng Tianchu asked Xiao Zhenpeng and Yu Xinlong to sit together, because Xia Fengyi was present, these two people were sensible landlords, how could they dare to eat with the boss's wife, and after thanking them, they all hid in the cabin and ate with the fans.

They were about to eat, and suddenly heard a rumbling sound on the side of the boat, as if something had fallen into the sea, Meng Tianchu looked sideways, the cabin blocked the invisible, and a female fan who was waiting behind Meng Tianchu hurriedly ran to the side of the boat to ask.

After a while, the female fan led an old man who was very energetic although he was old, and introduced him as the captain of this sea ship, he knelt down for Meng Tianchu, and said with a smile: "Master, the sound just now was that we threw a jar of wine and some food in the sea. It's nothing, please rest assured. ”

"Throwing away drinks and food? Why is that? Xia Fengyi asked curiously.

"Back to grandma, this is the rule of the boat family for many years, when passing through this sea area, you have to throw some food and wine into the sea, more people throw it, less people throw it."

"Why? The fish here also drink wine and eat meat? ”

"It's not land, hehe, grandma, it's all old legends, hearsay, nothing land, grandma don't have to worry." The boat boss explained with a smile.

The more mysterious it was, the more it aroused Xia Fengyi's curiosity: "The old legend? What a legend, let's hear it. ”

The ship's boss looked embarrassed, snorted a few times, and peeked at Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Yes, there is nothing to do left and right, you get up and tell us about this legend to relieve our boredom." ”

"Yes!" The official master had an order, and the boss of the boat didn't dare to disobey, kowtowed and got up, and stood sideways with a bent waist, "I heard the old people say, many years ago, there was a fishing family on Baixian Island, the wife was very beautiful, and the bullies in the village coveted her for a long time, and one day when her husband went out to sea to fish, he raped the woman to death, and bribed the fishermen to deliberately beat her husband to death and throw him into the sea..."

Xia Fengyi sighed: "This dog thief is not vicious!" ”

"Yes, this man's grudge was condensed, and he turned into a white sea eagle, and he gouged through the head of the bully and the man who killed him, and ate his brain, but the resentment was still there, and he wept and cried out to his wife in the place where he died..."

Xia Fengyi snorted lightly and nervously leaned towards Meng Tianchu's side.

Meng Tianchu grabbed her shoulder, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, lady, this is just a legend, don't be afraid, there must be wind and waves in this area, and the ancients made up this story." ”

The boss of the boat laughed and laughed with him, but his face couldn't help but show a disapproving look: "Yes, just listen to the old man, after that, this area will often turn over the river and the sea like wind and rain, thunder and lightning, if this time happens to pass by the sea ship here, nine times out of ten can not be spared, the old people say that it is the dead man crying his lady that caused the wind and waves, legend has it that this man likes to drink before his death, so ah." All the ships passing through this place should throw some food and drink and pray for safety. ”

Feiyan also felt a cool breath rising from her back spine, and said with a forced smile: "Then you threw away the wine and food, it should be fine, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay! Lord, grandmother, girl, you relax, these days the old man often fishes in this area, all the wind is calm, the weather is good, presumably the man found his wife's ghost. Walked together. ”

Feiyan gave the boat boss a fierce look: "You still say!" What the hell, what a ghost, it's scared to death! ”

"Yes, yes. Small retirement! The captain bowed backwards and retreated.

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Look at the virtue of the two of you, such a ghost story scares you?" Ha ha. If you really want to encounter ghosts, you must not be scared half to death! ”

"Young Master!" Feiyan stomped her foot and said angrily, turned sideways and spat a few mouthfuls on the ground, and prayed: "Good spirits are bad spirits!" ”

"Hahaha" Meng Tianchu laughed, "Okay, let's eat." ”

After eating, the waiting girl brought a few plates of fruit.

When I eat fruit. Feiyan saw a black cloud floating in the distance of the sky. Pointing in surprise, he said, "Young Master, look." It seems to be getting dark over there, so I'm afraid it's going to rain, right? ”

Meng Tianchu fixed his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "What kind of eyes do you have." Where was the black cloud, like a flock of seabirds. ”

"Seabirds?" Feiyan walked to the bow of the boat, leaned on the railing and put up the pergola to look around, and after a while, said happily, "The young master can see it very accurately, it is a flock of seabirds, seagulls, petrels and the like." ”

Xia Fengyi looked at it intently and said, "I only saw it clearly at this time, it was really a seagull, I thought it was a black cloud just now, husband, how did you see it?" ”

"Hehe, I can't see it either, but I can be sure it's not a black cloud if I look at the sky."

The second daughter looked up at the sky, and it was still white clouds, nothing special. They all looked at Meng Tianchu suspiciously.

"You look closely at the white clouds in the sky, and then look at the flock of seabirds, and see what the difference is?"

The two girls looked at each other seriously, looked at each other again, and shook their heads together.

"You two won't look closely, pay attention to the direction of the white clouds in the sky and the earth, and then look at the direction of the movement of the black clouds like seabirds, can't you see it?"

After Meng Tianchu's reminder, the second daughter finally reacted, Xia Fengyi said: "Yes, the white clouds are floating from north to south, but the seabirds are flying from east to west!" ”

Feiyan said: "That's it! The direction of the white clouds should be the same, but the direction of the seabirds like black clouds is different from that of the white clouds, of course, it is not a cloud. Young master, you are so smart! ”

"It's not called smartness, it's called careful observation!" Meng Tianchu said with a smile, "As long as you develop a good habit of observing, you can also discover the truth." ”

Feiyan turned around again and looked at the seabirds that were flying towards them, looked at them carefully, sighed, and said, "I also found a piece of evidence that proves that they are not black clouds!" ”

"What evidence?" Meng Tianchu asked.

"It was a lonely cloud, and I remember that if it was going to rain, it would be a black cloud, and it wouldn't just be a lonely one."

"Makes sense, but it's not a small flower, you see, there are a few more pieces in the sky, and they are also flying towards this side." Meng Tianchu pointed to the sky and said.

"Really!" Feiyan pointed to the distance and jumped and said, "There are several flocks of seabirds flying towards this direction too." ”

Meng Tianchu stared at the seabirds that were flying closer and closer, and suddenly sighed: "These seabirds are different, but they all fly in one direction, and they are very panicked when they hear the chirp, what's going on?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were a little nervous.

At this moment, the wind suddenly rose, and the waves rose sharply, crashing against the side of the ship, and the hull of the ship shook a little more than just now.

Xia Fengyi nervously grabbed Meng Tianchu's hand: "Husband..."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay!" Having said that, Meng Tianchu also felt that something was wrong, and the wind was obviously much stronger than just now. Raising his eyes and looking at the sky, I don't know when, a continuous black curtain has slowly risen from the sky, not in one direction, but in all directions, quickly and without hesitation, pressing on their heads.

Although the sky above was still blue, and the sun was still wandering lazily among a few white clouds, the sun's brilliance seemed to have dimmed a lot under the siege of dark clouds around it.

At this time, the commanders Yu Xinlong and Xiao Zhenpeng came out of the cabin after eating, and when they saw the dark clouds in the sky, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Zhenpeng turned his head to the rear cabin and shouted, "Hey! Ship boss, come here! ”

After a while, the boss of the boat just now ran over in a panic, at this time, the wind and waves became stronger, the hull of the ship had begun to sway from side to side, and even the boss of the boat, who often ran the boat out to sea, was a little unstable, staggered to Xiao Zhenpeng, and said, "Official!" ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Zhenpeng held the railing on the side of the boat with one hand, and swept the dark clouds into the sky with the other, "Didn't you say that there will be no big winds and waves during this time?" ”

The captain of the boat laughed and said, "This... This..., there was no wind and waves some time ago, but this god wants to change his face, and no one can do it..."

"Can't be? Bah! You dead old man..."The hull of the boat shook violently, Xiao Zhenpeng stood unsteadily, and he didn't care about scolding the boat boss, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and grabbed the railing with both hands.

At this time, the sun overhead has been completely covered by dark clouds surging up from all directions, and the originally clear blue and bright sky is now rolling dark clouds and turbid waves. The storm came so great and so sudden that even the well-informed ship boss's face changed color.

Commander Yu Xinlong shouted nervously: "Master Meng! It's too stormy, let's get into the cabin! The five women were also frightened, hugging each other and at a loss.

Another big wave hit, the hull of the boat shook violently, Xia Fengyi was so frightened that she threw herself into Meng Tianchu's arms and hugged him tightly: "Husband...!" ”

Feiyan also grabbed one of Meng Tianchu's arms, and regarded him as a life-dependent.

Meng Tianchu stood steady on his feet, holding one in both hands, and said, "Go!" Fast into the cabin! Under the protection of Yu Xinlong and other Dongchang fans, the three of them staggered into the cabin.
