Chapter 39: Spirit

Walking out of the shipbuilding, Dong Ce looked at the ferry that was getting closer and closer, and asked with some doubts: "Xiao Qi, has it always been like this around here?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao stood beside Dong Ce, and when he heard this, he was curious: "What else can you do if it's not like this?" ”

Dong Ce looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, and wanted to say a few words to him, but he felt that it was useless to say it, so he asked directly: "No one!" Could it be that people in this neighborhood like to walk on dry roads? Not to mention people, I didn't even see the boat. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao only understood when he heard it, but he was also a little puzzled: "No, when I came back the day before yesterday, it was obviously not like this, there were many ferries at that time, by the way, the fishing house on the north side of the shore didn't seem to see anyone, and even the boat was gone!" ”

Dong Ce looked at it when he heard this, and sure enough, there were no people outside the row of houses on the north side of the bank.

"What were you doing here the day before yesterday? And the lynx got it here, too? Dong Ce asked.

Lu Xiaoxiao explained: "The apprentice went to my cousin's house in Wuxing Mansion to play, and then came here to bring some purple bamboo shoot tea cakes back to my father, as for the lynx, I bought it outside the fishing house, but now I don't seem to see anyone, so I won't come in vain." ”

"Purple bamboo shoot tea! How could I have forgotten this! "Dong Ce knows about purple bamboo shoot tea, after all, the tea is recorded, and this tea is also a tribute in Daning, no wonder Cao Luorong said that he was ignorant, in fact, this can't be blamed on him, he knows Yangxian, but he doesn't know that Changxing County next door to it is called the Great Wall in this year!

Dong Ce will not interfere in the business of purple bamboo shoot tea, after all, the blue ocean in his heart is boundless, why bother to jump into the sea of blood and fight with others.

At this time, the situation in front of me is very wrong, whether it is the ferry or the fishing house, there should be people at this time, but there is not a single hair, which is very weird.

"Let the boat stop!" Dong Ce said suddenly.

"Huh? Why? Lu Xiaoxiao frowned, pointed to the ferry, and said, "This will be there soon." ”

"Don't you notice something unusual!" Dong Ce also pointed to the ferry and said: "It's too weird ahead, you don't know what the situation in Jiangnan is now, be careful when you go out!" ”

"No way, I only came the day before yesterday, and my generation has never heard of the scourge of flooding." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it, this can be messy?

"You can't just look at the surface!" Dong Ce said, and said to the two boatmen on the deck: "What are you doing in a daze, stop the ship!" ”

But the boatmen didn't move, they all looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, and Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while before he said: "Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop the boat, really." ”

When the boatman heard this, he gave the order to go down, and immediately three or five men lowered the sails.

After a period of busy work, Xiaolou's boat stopped more than twenty feet away from the ferry, and Cao Luorong and Liu Su, who learned the situation, also walked out of the building, and Liu Su asked directly: "Dong Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to run for nothing, so let's have a chance to come back next time." Dong Ce proposed.

"What's going on? Can Dong Gongzi explain? After all, Xiaohua's mother is likely to be in Guzhu Mountain, so close to each other, it would be too cruel to Xiaohua to go back like this! Liu Su couldn't bear to say in his heart.

"Damn, what kind of person is this." Dong Ce was really speechless to Liu Su, this kindness is also a little too good, don't you know, you are also cruel to me like this!

"It's not that you can't come, let's go back in a few days, let's go back first, and then inquire about the situation in Wuxing Mansion, and then it's not too late to come back." Dong Ce was bitter on the surface, but secretly said in his heart: "Go back to Lao Tzu and participate in your affairs, that is the eight lambs!" ”

"Ignore him!" At this time, Cao Luorong said: "In broad daylight, I don't know what he's afraid of, don't you just don't see anyone on the shore, what's so strange about no one taking a boat, as for the fisherman, naturally he went fishing, hey, you see, it's not a fishing boat, I really don't know where your eyes are." ”

As soon as they heard Cao Luorong's words, everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, in the reeds on the north side of the boat, there were indeed many fishing boats, at least twenty or thirty.

Unlike everyone's relieved expressions, Dong Ce's face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot!

"Can you grow some brains? That's a fishing boat, yes, but have you ever seen a fisherman carrying a handle? And as soon as it appeared, Tamar's dozens of handles! ”

As soon as they heard Dong Ce's words, everyone was in an uproar, yes, can the fisherman carry a hoe? Even if you use it, you don't need to carry it on the boat, right? Or hoe fish?

"It's not good!" Lu Xiaoxiao also came back to his senses, and hurriedly beckoned the boatman: "Hurry up, hurry up, withdraw quickly!" I'm stunned! ”

Lu Xiaoxiao said that it was lightweight, but this kind of small building boat is not said to be able to move, first, there are only two pairs of oars in this boat, most of them rely on sails, and shallow water depends on poles, and secondly, they must first turn the bow of the boat, grasp the wind direction, adjust the sails, and only after the sails can they go fast, this series of preparations is very good kung fu, and Lu Xiaoxiao is about to cry!

"They shouldn't look like villains, they are dressed well, and they don't look like refugees, maybe they came back from the wasteland." Liu Su didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin.

Dong Ce, who was estimating the distance between the fishing boat and himself, shook his head secretly when he heard this, and said, "Have you ever seen someone who cleared the wasteland and went home at noon?" ”

"Ridiculous, what do people eat when they don't go home?" Cao Luorong wanted to look at Dong Ce like a fool.

"Yes, people still have weekends and holidays, May Day and National Day seven-day tours, okay!" Dong Ce was almost speechless, he really didn't know how hard it was if he didn't carry a hoe, and one meal at home was enough for people to open a few more feet.

Dong Ce really couldn't stand these two women, so he waved his hand and drove away: "You women don't stay here, hurry up and hide inside, otherwise even if they don't rob money, they will definitely rob sex." ”

"Yes, yes, the master is very right, Liu Niangzi, you better hide inside, it's up to our man here!" Lu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and made his debut.

"Hmph, I can't go in yet!" Cao Luorong had no fear on her face, looked directly at Dong Ce and said, "I want to ask them, what is their intention!" ”

"Liu Fu!" Dong Ce suddenly screamed.

Liu Fu hurriedly walked to the young man's side and said respectfully: "Young boy, please command!" ”

Dong Ce said coldly: "Throw Cao Niangzi into the water and let her ask slowly, let's go first." ”

"Ahh Liu Fu was momentarily dumbfounded.

"You dare!" Cao Luorong's face sank.

"You want to ask, we want to go, in that case, you and we can only part ways." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he said to Liu Fu again: "Don't do it yet." ”

"But!" Liu Fu looked at Cao Luorong and then at Dong Ce, it was difficult to choose for a while!

Dong Ce knew that Liu Fu didn't dare, but Cao Luorong had to knock it, otherwise this girl really didn't know the severity, so he looked directly at Cao Luorong, who was pale, and said expressionlessly: "Now is not the time to be angry, if you understand, roll me back into the cabin, and if you don't understand, jump down directly, saving you from wasting Lao Tzu's strength." ”

After Dong Ce finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Cao Luorong, turned around and said to the boatman: "What weapons are in the ship?" Extra paddles and sticks are fine, all ....... ”

Before he finished speaking, suddenly there was a "poof" sound behind him, followed by Liu Su's poignant "Sister!" "It's exploded!

When Dong Ce turned around, where could he still see Cao Luorong's figure!

"What a crazy woman!" Dong Ce closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

"Dong Gongzi, Lu Gongzi, please save my sister quickly, she doesn't know how to water!" Liu Su was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Dong Ce and Lu Xiaoxiao and pleaded.

"But I won't!" Lu Xiaoxiao said fearfully.

"For her alone, there is no need for everyone to wait, Xiao Qi, you must order them to sail the boat back, and then send someone over!" After Dong Ce finished speaking, he rushed to the side of the boat with an arrow step, jumped and plunged into the lake.

"Young boy!" Liu Fu's expression was the same as Liu Su's.

"A master is a master, and so is a husband!" After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he yelled at the boatman: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and start the boat!" ”

At this moment, it is definitely a race against time, because many fishing boats are less than ten zhang away from the building boat, and some people on the fishing boat have taken out the hook lock, seeing that the building boat is going to run, they have beckoned to the past, but they are all passing by, only a tiger bearded man, ten zhang apart can throw the hook lock to the boat, but it is also a pity, the hook lock was instantly cut off by the boatman who found it.

Helplessly, a group of people on the fishing boat could only watch the boat drift away!

"These cubs can run faster than any monkey in the mountains!" The tiger bearded man shouted that it was a pity.

"Big brother, there is still a couple of men and women there, what to do with it?" A swarthy, lean man came over in another fishing boat and asked the man and woman floating on the water.

The tiger-bearded man glanced at him when he heard it, and said, "Take it back." ”

The thin man nodded, beckoned a boat to accompany him over, and when he came to Dong Ce's side, he found that Cao Luorong, who Dong Ce was hugging, was so beautiful that he almost left his saliva, and hurriedly said: "Give me the woman, and you take the man." ”

At this moment, Cao Luorong had fallen into a coma, and Dong Ce didn't care who to hand her over to, so without saying a word, he let the thin man grab Cao Luorong and pull her onto the boat, while Dong Ce very consciously climbed onto another fishing boat with only one young man.

"You kid is quite interesting, and it saves us the trouble of kidnapping you back!" The thin man sneered and beckoned: "Withdraw!" ”

Dong Ce didn't say a word, took off his coat and quietly observed these people while twisting it.

Judging from their dress and mannerisms, these people are obviously not bandits, let alone refugees, and most of the weapons are hoes and sickles, and the most decent ones are firewood knives and hunting bows.

"You don't look like kidnappers, why did you arrest us?" Dong Ce suddenly asked calmly.

After hearing this, the rowing young man didn't even think about it, and said casually: "We also have no choice, we just arrested you for some money, so don't worry, as long as your family brings money, we won't embarrass you!" ”

"Just for some money, I don't think it's that simple!" Dong Ce shook off the wrung out clothes and asked again: "You said that I believe it for a mouthful of food, but for money, hehe, can you use this headless business?" Or are you selling people in a daze? ”

The young man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Lose your head? No, I heard my husband say that one vote is at least ten taels of silver per person, and if you catch it, you will be locked up for a year and a half and come out, and you will come back as long as you do two votes. ”

Dong Ce frowned, looked at the young man and said indifferently: "I said something you don't like to hear, you are really fucking stupid!" ”
