Chapter 98: Sigh Offshore
On the weekend, he called out to Wang Daxing, who was hurriedly picking up his things and was about to leave, and asked, "I don't know Captain Wang, what does the X on this chart mean?" ”
Su Yuan also cooperated with the weekend to stand at the door and block his way.
Wang Daxing didn't expect that he was suspicious of the X on the chart over the weekend, so he could only stop helplessly and explained, "This line is actually the next route set by my father before leaving, and the family did their best to build this ship in order to complete my father's route." It's a pity that before the completion of this ship, I left the world, and the family also lost the backbone, and after dividing the inheritance, they went their separate ways, that is, I stayed and insisted on doing business at sea. ”
On the weekend, with a skeptical expression, Wang Daxing retracted his lost expression, and then said, "Originally, I didn't plan to take this route, because when my father was drawing the route, I had been watching him, and he seemed to be just painting on the chart at random, completely freewheeling, just linking Dongying Island and the Yangtze River Estuary together. ”
Su Yuan was behind him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "So you haven't been to Dongying either?" Just rely on your father's random charts? Brother Zhou, why don't we change to a merchant ship that we have been to? We don't know each other well at sea, and it's up to the captain to decide where to go, it's too dangerous! ”
Wang Daxing didn't want to offend these big people, so he hurriedly said, "No, no, Miss is angry." The little one just wants to try to walk along my father's route, and if it doesn't work, I'll correct it, and it can be considered as fulfilling my father's last wish, which may be my last chance. With many years of sailing experience, we will be able to arrive safely in Dongying. ”
Su Yuan still wanted to continue to make trouble, and asked again, "An imminent route, where is it so easy to say that you can change it....."
The weekend didn't want to be unhappy with Wang Daxing at this juncture, so he used gestures to stop Su Yuan's next questioning, but asked Wang Daxing, "How many days will it take to go to Dongying this time?" ”
Wang Daxing heard that there was no blame for the weekend, and put down the big stone in his heart, he was afraid that he had not left Hong Kong yet, so he would offend the "official", and carefully calculated the days in his heart, and after getting the answer, he replied, "If it is smooth sailing, it will be possible on the 15th." ”
Then Wang Daxing was afraid that he would not be satisfied with the weekend, so he patted his chest and promised, "Within a month, you can definitely arrive, and I guarantee it with the honor of the Wang family." ”
This date happens to be within the acceptable range of the weekend, because they may be found by Tang Xuanzong's pursuers at any time, so it is better to set off early.
He nodded and ordered, "Then go as soon as possible!" ”
It was only at this time that Wang Daxing carefully picked up the bill that had just been shaken off excitedly, and the strange thing was that he always felt that the cotton clothes were much heavier than before, and he didn't have time to think about it for the time being, so he retreated first, "The three adults will rest first, and when they will set off, they will come back to inform them later." ”
After speaking, he carefully bypassed Su Yuan, who was still angry, and walked out of the room.
Su Yuan is actually very violent to outsiders, and the only thing she doesn't want to lose her temper is on weekends.
After Wang Daxing left, she walked to the couch and sat down.
When Yuhuan saw it, he hurriedly sat down beside her to comfort her.
At this time on the weekend, I also realized that he was too strict with Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was obviously helping him speak, but because he didn't have time to explain, he could only stop it strongly, and he seemed to be suspected of helping outsiders, but he was afraid of breaking her heart.
He picked up the tea brewed on the table, poured a cup, handed it to Su Yuan, slowly stroked her back with his hand, and apologized warmly, "Su Yuan, I didn't mean to, it's just that we need to set off quickly, no one knows if Tang Xuanzong's pursuers will find here, although we were not blocked when we were on our way, but for the sake of safety, we can't stay in one place for too long, this is the only boat in the past two days." ”
Su Yuan didn't answer, but her complexion improved significantly.
Looking at her on the weekend, I understood that she had lost a little bit of anger, and hit the railway while it was hot, "I think that Wang Daxing is also quite an honest person, and he has rich sailing experience, so it is also a good choice for us." ”
He dropped the hand that was caressing her back, took her hands holding the teacup, and with an idea, he proposed, "Why don't we go on an 'adventure' in the evening?" Let's go to the bottom of the cabin together to see if Wang Daxing has it, and hide the situation below, how about it? ”
In Su Yuan's bones, she still likes the feeling of walking the rivers and lakes, which is different from Yuhuan's willingness to stay in one place and live a stable life, so when she heard the word "adventure" mentioned on the weekend, the remaining unpleasantness was thrown aside, and she hurriedly agreed happily, "Okay, okay." ”
Immediately after, she looked down at the hand that held her on the weekend, feeling the heat that kept coming from the weekend's hand, her heart moved, she smiled shyly, lowered her head and secretly stole fun.
The cute pretty face, the fluttering eyelashes like butterfly wings, and the slightly pursed pink lips are all wonderful to the extreme, which makes the weekend's heart move, but because Yuhuan is next to him, he can't do too intimate things with Su Yuan.
At this time, the boat suddenly shook heavily, which should be the reason for the unclamping rope just now.
It seemed that the ship had gone offshore, and the weekend proposed to the second daughter, "Let's not wait for Wang Daxing to come to inform, call Xu to go together, let's go to the deck and see the sea, you should be the first time to go to sea, the opportunity is rare." ”
When the four of them walked to the deck together, Wang Daxing happened to be coming head-on, and he was still holding the silver that he had deliberately placed in his shabby cotton coat on the weekend.
Seeing them come out, he said respectfully, "I just want to invite a few people, this should be Lord Zhou's silver, which somehow appeared in my cotton clothes, and now it is returned to its original owner." ”
It turned out that Wang Daxing walked out with a cotton coat, because the weight of the forty taels of silver added to the clothes, how could he feel that something was wrong, he rummaged through it, and found that the silver left over the weekend, there was a moment in his heart that he wanted to possess it, but he was afraid that this was another temptation on the weekend, so he took it with him and prepared to return it to him.
I didn't expect Wang Daxing to refuse the temptation of money twice, a gold ingot and forty taels of silver are not a small amount, it is a blessing to be able to earn a hundred taels on a merchant ship, and even maybe Wang Daxing's income from several previous trips does not add up to a hundred taels, otherwise it would not be so miserable.
He didn't want Wang Daxing to drive them to Dongying for nothing because of this owe, nor did he want Wang Daxing to complain in his heart during the journey, so he generously said, "Captain Wang will take the forty taels of silver, don't refuse me this time, just use it as our boat money." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Wang Daxing to answer, he took the second daughter and Xu to the deck, making Wang Daxing, who was hit by the "big cake", dizzy in the aisle for a while.
When I walked to the deck, the sails on the mast were blown by the wind, and the oars below were constantly turning.
At the end of the week, the ship began to slowly drift farther and farther from the shore.
He wrapped his arms around Yuhuan and Su Yuan, walked to the cargo pile on the deck, sat down casually, looked at the coastline that was slowly getting farther away, the three of them were silent for a long time, Xu Qu had already detoured to the stern of the boat, and never disturbed them.
Suddenly, Yuhuan broke free of Weekend's hand, stood up, walked to the bow of the boat, turned his back to a few people, and let out a leisurely sigh.
