In the tent, on a simple clay stove, water was boiling, almost as soon as the water boiled, Zhao Ziyu, who was sitting by the stove and wearing a cotton jacket, stood up, put the teapot aside, and waited for the temperature of the tea to drop, Zhao Ziyu looked at the owner in the tent again, looked at him with a frowning look, and his heart sank.
You won't really be trapped on this island, will you!
If so, it's really better to ...... What is not as good as what?
Escape?
Zhao Ziyu really didn't have the courage to escape, at first it wasn't that no one tried to escape, but he was either caught back, or he was shot to death, no, now this password outside the tent is not to prevent others from escaping.
Thanks to Zhao Ziyu, who was a runner in the hotel at the beginning, and he was too small, he was left here to wait for the owner, but for Zhao Ziyu, this is also the idea of escaping, after all, every time, as long as he sees the owner, he will naturally think of the feeling of being on the verge of death, the feeling of being strangled by the neck, until now, it is still engraved in Zhao Ziyu's mind.
After waiting for a while, after the temperature of the tea dropped down, Zhao Ziyu hurriedly put the tea leaves into the teapot, washed the tea slightly, and then poured water to brew for a while, and then brought the tea to the owner.
"East, East, drink, drink tea......"
Although it has been several days, Zhao Ziyu still has a fear from the bottom of his bones about the owner who almost killed him, and he stammered when he spoke.
"Hmmm......"
When the teacup was put down, he noticed the dust on the finger, and Zhu Yifeng's brows furrowed again, but when the dusty hand left, there was no trace of ash on the edge of the saucer.
"I said, Ziyu, you also wash your hands......
Looking at his hand, Zhu Yifeng admonished again, raised his head and saw the gray face with some acne on his face, that is, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown child, as soon as he looked up, he looked at him trembling with fright, and then he thought of the scene where he almost strangled him to death that day, and his tone slowed down a little.
"And your face, wash it well, look at it dirty...... Forget it......"
Forget it, Zhao Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, and responded with a nervous "oh oh ......" as in the past, but this is just a void to deal with.
"Alright, you go down!"
Shaking his head, he didn't want to criticize this young man anymore, of course, he didn't have the Zhu Yifeng who cared about these things now, and he was more concerned about how to get out of here.
The Pacific never arrived, could it be that something happened on the way?
Will there be any trouble?
So many thoughts have been bothering Zhu Yifeng, and more troubles are being trapped on this island, although there is no need to worry about this food for the time being, but the longer you are trapped, the more likely it is to have problems.
The top priority is to get out of this place as soon as possible and rush back to Shanghai.
But how can you leave without a boat?
Because of the war, most of the big boats along the river have fled to other places, and as for the remaining small boats, it is a question of whether they can safely send themselves and their silver back to Shanghai. What's more, he was not at ease when he distributed the silver to so many small boats, after all, the silver was obtained at the risk of his life.
It's really a man dying for money, and a bird dying for food!
"The owner, it's not a way to keep it like this, otherwise, I think, can we think of a way?"
Again, Li Ziyuan looked at the owner and tried to ask,
"I know it's not a solution, but now, you see, there is no big ship here, even if we want to go, we can't do it! If you get some little sampans, a gust of wind blows......"
Thinking of the gust of wind, thinking of the shipwreck caused by the strong convective weather on the Yangtze River in another time and space, Zhu Yifeng only felt a chill, if the boat was blown over that day, and was not stranded by the waves, it is estimated that his little life would be lost now, and he would leave in a small boat?
It's not a matter of ten miles and eight miles.
"As for the big boat, you can also look at it, on the dock of Tuanfeng on the other side, you can see it clearly with a telescope, let alone a big boat, you can't even find a big fishing boat."
"Dongjia, I heard Lin Yuqing say that the docks in Huangzhou City, which are dozens of miles away, are much bigger than those of Tuanfeng, if it really doesn't work, Dongjia, do you think he should take two people to Huangzhou?"
Don't say that it is someone else, even Li Ziyuan himself is worried about staying on this Jiangxin Continent all day long, for fear that if the Taiping Army chases after him, even if he has eight heads, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep them, when they leave, but one cannon will burn millions of taels of silver, if they are caught, then Yang Xiuqing will not crush them to ashes, I am afraid that they will also be scraped alive.
"Besides, so much food on the ship, so many people eat, it's only enough for the big guys to eat for four or five days, as the saying goes, there is no food in the army, the army is unstable, you see ...... owner."
Frowning, Zhu Yifeng pondered for a moment, why didn't he let people go? The reason is very simple - silver, his entire net worth is on the island, if he lets people leave, but it is not a way to just stick to it! If you don't go to the ship, you will run out of food...... Glancing out of the tent, looking at the people who were wasting their physical strength by lining up in a queue under the adjustment of the half-tone foreigner sailors, Zhu Yifeng nodded.
"Okay, I think that's it! Also, Zilin, look at that incident......"
When the owner was talking to the master, Zhao Ziyu stayed by the stove by the tent, and a few reed walls covered with mud blocked the cold wind and warmed his body. He immediately thought of those boxes, how much silver was in those boxes, he didn't know, and he didn't care, and even for him, those silvers, he didn't even look at them at all, after all, every year when the New Year was approaching, the treasurers of the semicolons all over the country would take the silver carts, and take the account books to settle the accounts of the year, and the silver transported by several people carried the silver into the silver cellar. He didn't know how much silver had been in the silver cellar for so many years, but there were only a few hundred chests, and even if they were all filled with silver, he couldn't look at them.
Listening to them discussing what to do with the silver, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, he really had never seen the world. Isn't it just a little bit of silver, look at what makes them worried?
"Really...... It's so troublesome there, just dig a silver cellar and put the silver in it......"
muttered like this, although he didn't speak loudly, but it still passed into the tent through the tent cloth in the house, listening to the Shaanxi accent with some Sichuan accent outside the door, Li Ziyuan's brows were furrowed.
"What do you doll know? The cellar is easy to dig, and you can't just throw things there after digging......"
The reprimand in the tent only made Zhao Ziyu quickly shrink his head, and he dared to say another word when he realized his current identity. But sometimes, he doesn't want to say it, but someone wants him to say it.
"Ziyu, come in and say!"
shouted outside the tent, and after Zhao Ziyu came in, looking at his gray face, Zhu Yifeng immediately realized that he seemed to be a little sick and rushed to the hospital.
That's not the case!
I would actually ask a half-grown boy.
"Boss, you shouldn't really listen to this kid's nonsense!"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Li Ziyuan didn't say that it didn't matter, he was so excited, but it aroused Zhao Ziyu's strong heart, he looked at the "wicked" who frowned, and hurriedly defended himself.
"This is not the case for thousands of years of digging silver cellars and storing silver, the more you look forward and backward and don't know how to place the silver, the easier it is to make people's eyes hot, and when everyone knows that the box contains silver, when the time comes, you will naturally regret it......"
Well?
Seems to make some sense?
His brows jumped slightly, but Zhu Yifeng felt that something was wrong, what was it? Just when he felt surprised, Zhao Ziyu seemed to notice something, and hurriedly continued.
"As for how to keep the silver, there are still three holes in this cunning rabbit, not to mention others?"
When the hoarse voice sounded again in the tent, Zhu Yifeng also made Zhu Yifeng look at the gray-faced young man carefully, and finally waved his hand.
"Okay, I see, you go down!"
"The ...... of the owner"
Almost as soon as Zhao Ziyu went down, Li Ziyuan just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Yifeng.
"Okay, let me think about it again, as for the rest, I'll talk about it when Qingzi and they come back......"
