Crabs are not locusts after all, although they are numerous, they can't fly, they can only crawl on the ground, and their activities are also very regular, so as long as they are prepared, their danger can be minimized, so after Shangguanyi organized continuous fishing, this crab flood was finally effectively contained.

Li Xiu was very distressed about those wasted crabs at first, and it just so happened that he also liked the taste of crabs, so he picked some of them to eat by himself, but crabs are cold, and eating too much is not good for the body, plus eating crabs is indeed a technical job, and it is okay to eat once in a while, if you eat a meal every day, I am afraid no one can stand it, so in the end Li Xiu is too lazy to eat.

After the crab disaster was controlled, Shangguanyi immediately began to develop the seafood industry in Haiyan County, the shipbuilding workshop has sent fishing boats, about hundreds, large and small, these fishing boats have also been leased by Shangguanyi to the fishermen in the county, the canning workshop has also started, the fishermen have all bought the seafood from the workshop, and the canned food made has been taken away by Zhang Shiyi's caravan, with the core product of canned seafood, the business of the entire Haiyan County has also shown signs of recovery.

Li Xiu has been in Haiyan for several days, so on this day he also said goodbye to Shangguanyi and left, Shangguanyi was going to set up a banquet to see him off, but Li Xiu refused, because with the recovery of business in Haiyan County, Shangguanyi is also busy all day long, and he usually needs to be urged to even eat, so he doesn't want to delay his time because of himself.

At that moment, Li Xiu left Haiyan County with people, it was already afternoon, Haiyan was not far from Suzhou, even if Li Xiu walked slowly, he could return to Suzhou before dark, but what is puzzling is that Li Xiu did not go to Suzhou when he left Haiyan County, but went around in a circle and came to the Yangtze River.

In fact, part of Haiyan County borders the Yangtze River, and most of the water sources in the county come from the Yangtze River, but compared with later generations, the current Yangtze River along the Yangtze River still seems a little desolate, but the river is very lively, all kinds of ships flow endlessly, and most of their destinations are the ports of Yangzhou or Suzhou, where they unload or load goods, and then enter the sea through the Yangtze River to the next destination.

Except for Yangzhou and Suzhou, there are no big cities near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and there is no shadow of Shanghai in later generations.

On the second day, a boat suddenly came to the sea, and this ship was obviously different from other sea ships, but went straight to Li Xiu and they were stationed near the camp, and then another small boat approached the shore, and Li Xiu had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and when the boat came to the shore, he got on the boat alone, and then ordered the guards to wait on the shore, and he might not return until tomorrow.

After the boat returned to the big ship, Li Xiu boarded the deck and saw Li Chengdao standing on the deck at a glance, only to see that the other party was also very excited when he saw him, and strode forward and knelt down in front of Li Xiu with a "bang" and said, "Student meet Mr!" ”

Li Xiu also hurriedly helped Li Chengdao up at this time, and then looked at him carefully, I haven't seen him for a few years, Li Chengdao has grown up, a tall young man, although his facial features have not changed much, but he has a little more maturity and perseverance, and his skin has become a little rough, especially his hands, the palms are full of hard calluses, you don't need to guess to know that he must have suffered a lot in the Americas.

"Acceptance! You...... You've grown up! Li Xiu looked at Li Chengdao, who had not seen him for a few years, and was also excited, although he had a lot of students, but strictly speaking, Li Chengdao was also his first student and his favorite student, but his fate was also the most bumpy, making it difficult for them to see each other at ordinary times.

"Sir, you still have the same demeanor, and the students in the Americas also miss you and your aunt very much, and there are also cousins of Jin'er, I wonder if they are okay?" Li Chengdao said with tears in the corners of his eyes that were excited again at this time.

"It's all fine, it's just that your aunt usually talks about you, and there are also Mian Niang, who often think of you and their mother." Li Xiu saw Li Chengdao's excited appearance, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder with some emotion, until then he realized that Li Chengdao had grown a few points taller than him, and he looked like an adult.

"Okay, don't talk here for your master and apprentice, I've prepared a banquet in the cabin, and I'll keep watch for you outside, and then you master and apprentice will have a good chat!" At this moment, Zhang Shiyi, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke, although there were no other people on the deck, but after all, there were ships coming and going, and he was worried that someone would recognize Li Xiu and Li Chengdao, so he opened his mouth to remind.

Hearing Zhang Shiyi's words, Li Xiu came to his senses, and immediately pulled Li Chengdao to the cabin, Zhang Shiyi did not follow in, but guarded outside the cabin, although the ship was all people brought by Li Chengdao from the Americas, but he was still not at ease, even before Li Xiu came, he sent people to other cabins, and no one saw Li Xiu on the ship.

After Li Xiu sat down, Li Chengdao also asked about the situation in Li Xiu's family again, such as Princess Pingyang and Jin'er, as well as his younger sisters, etc., Li Xiu also answered one by one, but in the end, Li Chengdao suddenly hesitated, and then asked again: "Sir, Qi Niang...... Qi Niang, did she also come to Suzhou? ”

"Here, she has a shipbuilding workshop in Suzhou, and she has been immersed in it all this time, and she is busy renovating the workshop and designing new sea ships every day." Li Xiu glanced at Li Chengdao when he heard this, and then replied slowly.

Hearing that Qi Niang was still intoxicated with shipbuilding, Li Chengdao also seemed a little excited, but in the end he forced himself to calm down, and then spoke again: "Qi Niang, is she okay?" ”

"It's good, it's just that I'm too willful when I grow up, this time I got married, she ran away from home without permission, and followed Ha'er to Suzhou, and I came here to chase her!" mentioning his sister, who is a headache, Li Xiu's mouth couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

Li Chengdao heard that Qi Niang was so bold, but he couldn't help but smile a little, he grew up with Qi Niang since he was a child, and he knew Qi Niang's temperament better than anyone else, and he could even say that he knew Qi Niang better than Li Xiu, after all, Li Xiu was an adult, and Qi Niang was sometimes more willing to share some of his inner words with Li Chengdao as a playmate.

"Honestly, you should be very aware of how much risk you have to take to come back, but why do you want to come back?" Li Xiu suddenly asked solemnly at this time, which was also what he had always wanted to ask Li Chengdao.

Hearing Li Xiu ask this question, Li Chengdao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, and only replied after a while: "I also know that I shouldn't come back, but the longer I stay in the Americas, the more I miss Datang, and I miss Mr., Aunt and Qi Niang, it just so happens that there are too few people in the Americas, and many things can't be produced, so I also have to trade with Datang, so I also took this opportunity to come, I thought that no one should recognize me, but I didn't expect to meet Mr." ”

When Li Chengdao said the end, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiu apologetically, if Li Xiu didn't come to the south, even if Zhang Shiyi's people recognized him, I'm afraid Zhang Shiyi would only help him hide it, and when he finished his work and went back unconsciously, no one would find out, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to happen to be in Suzhou, which made it difficult for Zhang Shiyi to hide it anymore.

"Just for that reason?" Li Xiu didn't believe it when he heard this, he knew Li Chengdao too well, although Li Chengdao didn't show any unusual expression when he spoke, Li Xiu still felt that he didn't tell the truth.

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Mr.!" Seeing that Li Xiu didn't believe it, Li Chengdao couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile and said that he did have something to do when he came to Datang, but this matter was very important, so he didn't even tell Zhang Shiyi in advance.
