There was a very burly body under the white head, and he jumped on the deck a few times, and the hull seemed to shake a few times, followed by a few men with a full face of meat, and when he stood firm, Chen Xin took a closer look, this person had a steel needle-like beard on his face, and it seemed that the whole head was bigger than others, his beard and hair were grayish-white, and he looked at him only in his thirties, he looked at Lao Wang and scolded and scolded: "If you don't leave early, you have to wait for the Tartars to come, and the is full of official ships at sea now." What about the big brother? ”

Lao Wang said coldly: "The big boss went to Tianfei Temple to pick up Mr. Song, when to leave and when not to go to the big boss makes sense, you are the second master, but you also have to listen to the big boss." The second master snorted, "I naturally listen to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother still has to listen to Lord He." ”

Turning his head to look at Chen Xin beside him, although he was tall and big, his skin was very fair, and he smiled strangely: "Could it be that Lao Wang also brought a drama to relieve his boredom." ”

Lao Wang is still like that: "The second master is cautious, this is the new deputy of finance, Chen Accounts." ”

Of course, Chen Xin can't help but speak, people who go to the sea only focus on the strong, the drama of this era is not a good word, now showing weakness, the sea trip can be enough to survive, and said with a slight smile: "The second master looks at me like a play, but looking at the elephant may not be, just like the second master looks at the temples white, but in fact he is not an old man." ”

Black Tan and Scarface happened to get on the boat, and when they heard this, they smiled and said to the second master: "Deputy Chen Cai is not accurate, the second master is too smart, and he thinks too much about things, so he is white-headed." ”

The second master listened, put away the strange smile, ignored the black charcoal, but moved a few steps closer to Chen Xin, staring at Chen Xin, his eyes were fierce, and several subordinates behind him also looked unkind, coming from both sides, and Chen Xin smiled and looked at the second master, and his eyes stopped at the negotiation position between the two eyes under the eyebrows of the second master, this position can not be affected by the other party's gaze, and can put pressure on the other party. Lu Donkey's hands quietly grasped the handle of the sword, and several sailors lying on the ground saw that the atmosphere was not right, and also stood up.

Lao Wang stepped into the middle of the two, blocking the way of the second master, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest brother and the wife explained that they want me to take care of Deputy Chen Cai all the way, and please don't make it difficult for me to do it." ”

The second master's eyes were blocked, he turned his head to look at Chen Xin, and said: "When will the affairs on the ship be in the hands of the woman, if it weren't for the big boss, hehe......"

Hei Tan was still fanning the flames next to him: "Madame's words, I can hear the black cannon, so I will obey her just because she has saved the big boss." Vice President Chen Cai is a scholar, you are the second master who put on such a look, and you are angry Mr., do you know how to settle accounts or write? ”

The second master glanced at the black cannon fiercely, knowing that he couldn't help Chen Xin at this time, he turned around and walked to the lower warehouse, and after walking halfway, he turned back to Chen Xin and said: "The sea is stormy, Deputy Chen Cai should be careful not to fall into the sea." A few sailors next to him laughed strangely, and Chen Xin arched his hand and said: "Thank you for reminding the second master, since it is the same boat, there is naturally no reason to fall into the sea first." ”

When the second master disappeared into the warehouse, Scarface smiled and said to Chen Xin: "You are a good financial deputy, you are bold enough, and you are more delicious than that soft egg Lao Cai." If anyone is difficult for you, just tell me. ”

Chen Xin thanked the two of them, and as soon as the black cannon shook his hand, he went directly to the lower floor, shouting as he walked: "Second master, I haven't seen you for a long time, we are hiding, we are just catching up with the past." ”

When they were all gone, Lao Wang took the two of them to the stern mast and said to Chen Xin: "You two should be together more when you walk around the boat, especially at night, sleep on the second floor at night, try to sleep in the inside, there is a big boss, don't be afraid of him." ”

Chen Xin said: "Thank you Brother Wang for your care, although I am an account room, I have rarely been afraid of anyone." ”

Lao Wang nodded, this Chen account room looked more pleasing than Lao Cai. At the moment, take two people down to the cabin, the size of the ship is between the No. 1 and No. 2 Fu ship, a total of four layers, the bottom layer of ballast stone or heavier cargo, in order to keep the hull stable, generally do not live people, the second floor is the place where the sailors stay, the middle of the third floor is the water tank, the rear is the room, there are also some cabins can put some cargo, the top floor is the deck, is the main place of activity, sailing, steering and combat are on this floor, so the two sides are added to the guard, and the rudder is one layer higher than the deck.

The three of them arrived on the second floor, the warehouse was not high, and the middle was divided into many small compartments by the partition board, many cabins were filled with piles of raw silk satin and other things, the cabin was filled with the smell of raw silk, sweat, and urine, and the light through the three-layer hatch, the three of them bent over and walked, Lao Wang chose a cabin near the stern of the ship, put down his own small baggage, there is also a hatch near this cabin, and the light is better.

"The bilge is all porcelain, don't go down if it's okay." Lao Wang instructed the two and returned to the deck. The two of them were in the cabin to recuperate, Chen Xin took out a bag of tea from his luggage, gave a small pinch to Lu Donkey, and the two put it in their mouths and chewed it, the biggest enemy of seafarers is scurvy, although going to Japan is not as far away as the great voyage of Europeans, but trekking and wind and waves may also cause a long time, so Chen Xin still prepared a bag of tea to supplement vitamins.

While chewing, Lu Donkey said to Chen Xin: "Brother Chen, why don't these two masters look at us well?" ”

As soon as Chen Xin heard the words of the second master, he remembered the image of Wu Mengda who talked about Journey to the West, and couldn't help but smile on his face, shook his head and said: "I don't know, today is the first time I have seen him, not only us, you see that he is just as bad as Black Cannon and Scarface, and although he is the second master, these two people don't respect him at all, which is really strange." ”

Lu Donkey scolded: "It doesn't matter who he is, he can't bully us if he wants to." ”

Chen Xin remembered the matter between him and Tang Caokou, and persuaded: "We don't have to be afraid of him, and we don't want to provoke him, just do our own thing, if we can, we won't do it." ”

Lu Donkey nodded, and said: "If Brother Dai is here, how can I be afraid that this bullshit is the second master, he is really born with divine power, and on the stone table in your yard, he can easily raise his head." Chen Xin smacked his tongue secretly when he heard it, he tried the stone table, at least more than 100 pounds, and it was not as easy to grasp as a barbell, he couldn't afford it at all, this generation was just in the next generation, it was estimated that he would be able to participate in the Olympic weightlifting event.

Lu Donkey waited for a while, and suddenly asked, "Brother Chen, what does it feel like to kill someone?" ”

"Feelings?" Chen Xin actually didn't kill anyone, and the fights all date back to middle school, but when he first made up the story, he boasted that he had killed a Tartar, so Lu Donkey would ask like this, he was talking nonsense anyway, thought about some movie shots, and said: "After killing someone, I feel a little disgusting and want to vomit." ”

"I mean, how does it feel when a knife hits someone?"

Chen Xin secretly scolded this Lu donkey for being too curious, and recalled his limited knowledge of the human body, the outer layer is muscles, the inner layer is the abdominal cavity, and the inside should be less dense, "At first, it was a little blocked, and it was easier to pierce it for a while, and the rest, I was so anxious at the time, I can't remember clearly." ”

Lu Donkey looked pensive: "So that's the case." ”

Chen Xin asked him rhetorically: "I think you are good, you must often fight with people, and you have never stabbed anyone with a knife?" ”

Lu Donkey touched his head and smiled: "Really no, I beat people with a stick at most, and the eldest brother said that at most, I will use a knife to cut it, if I stab it directly, most of it will kill someone, and I don't know who he listened to." ”

Chen Xin agreed: "That's right, if you stab it and hurt your internal organs, most of you won't survive." ”

At this time, there was a commotion on the deck, and everyone shouted that the big boss should be here, it should be Zhao Dongjia's coming, Chen Xin has been here for so long, and he still doesn't know the real name of this Zhao Dongjia, maybe even this surname may not be true.

Since it was the boss who arrived, the two of them also got out of the cabin, and when they arrived at the hatch on the third floor, they happened to meet the second master, he took a few people to the side of the ladder, saw that Chen Xin was closer, and hurriedly rushed over to block the ladder, not letting the two go up first, Chen Xin looked at his shallow appearance, and was originally a little worried about provoking an enemy for no reason, at this time he put his mind down, stretched out his generous left hand, smiled and made a gesture of please, the second master thought that he was soft, and he was proud, and took a few people up.

Lu Donkey was unconvinced: "Brother Chen, you let him do something." ”

Chen Xin said lightly: "Let him be nervous at this time, look at his shallow appearance, why bother to be like this kind of person, and have the opportunity to clean him up." After speaking, he grabbed the ladder and boarded the deck, the deck was full of people, Chen Xin roughly counted, there were about forty people, if such a large fortune ship was used for warships, it could carry more than 100 people, but now it is mainly for transporting goods, and one more person will have to load more fresh water and food, so the number of people will not be too much, everyone is standing beside the owner, only the person who began to sit on the car off the stick still does not move, it seems that he does not like to be lively, Chen Xin is secretly strange, and he has a heart for this person.

The dumping shop owner and Lao Wang were standing beside Zhao Dong's house, and on the other side of Zhao Dong's house there was a man dressed as a scribe, in his thirties, with a beautiful beard and a very shrewd appearance.

The second master has now changed his face, and said to Zhao Dongjia with a respectful face: "Big brother, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I want to kill my younger brother." Seven or eight of his men also saluted.

Zhao Dongjia stood still, "Oh?!" Then I can't imagine that Han Bin, you have been more white-headed in the past few months, but what do you think brothers? ”

Hei Pao and the others immediately laughed in the back, of course the second master didn't dare to refute the boss, so he had to turn to the scribe with a smile in embarrassment: "I've seen Mr. Song, this time Mr. ran one more trip, it's hard." Mr. Song returned the salute with a smile and said, "The second master is also happy." ”

Zhao Dongjia saw Chen Xin and beckoned him to come over, "Mr. Song, everyone knows each other, here are two new brothers for everyone, the new financial deputy Chen Xin and his cousin, they are brothers when they get on the boat, and we who go to sea must remember the words of helping each other in the same boat." ”

Zhao Dongjia glanced at Han Bin, the second master, meaningfully, and Han Bin nodded hurriedly: "What the eldest brother said is that I must be in the same boat with Deputy Chen Cai." Chen Xin listened politely and said to Zhao Dongjia: "The second master has taken great care of the younger brother before, and reminded him to be careful of falling into the sea, and he is in the fifth place." ”

Second, Ai Ai didn't dare to answer this sentence.

Zhao Dongjia didn't let him say it anymore, and shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Don't talk nonsense, lift anchor and start the boat." ”

The sailors on the deck cheered loudly, pulled out the gangplank, and the man on the car bar finally got up, and turned the car bar with several other people, this person is of medium stature, broad shoulders and thin waist, his steps are calm and quiet between actions, although Chen Xin does not know any martial arts, but intuitively this is a person who has been practicing martial arts for a long time.

With the action of several people, the car off the rod rotated, the iron chain slowly lifted upward, and there was a seeping friction sound on the wooden roller on the bow, a huge four-claw iron anchor was finally pulled out of the water by several people, the anchor just came out of the water, and several other sailors held a long penny, struggling to support the shore, the body was low, the feet kicked the boat board hard, and the mouth shouted the trumpet, and slowly left the shore after a while, the fortune boat is a pointed bottom sea boat, and their boat has a draft of about one zhang and two or three feet, so it can not be stopped anywhere like a flat-bottomed boat such as a sand boat, and they rely on the sail when sailing, There is no oar, only the penny can be used for the time being, waiting for the ship to go offshore, two helmsmen stabilize the rudder, after the penny is slightly adjusted, the fortune boat faces the sea, and goes downstream, at this time the sea breeze blows, and the second master Han Bin shouts "Raise the sail!" ”

There was another cheer on the boat, Chen Xin really couldn't understand why these people were so happy, and he felt like he was traveling at public expense. In addition to the two people at the helm, the other people on the deck started to raise the mainsail together, the hard sail with bamboo ribs was very heavy, but many people shouted loudly, and finally pulled the three mainsails on the top of the mast, the wide sail surface covered the sun like a dark cloud, the light on the deck was dim, and it suddenly became cool, the support of the sail mainly relied on the bamboo ribs, and each bamboo rib was tied with a cable on both sides, there were dozens of cables in total, and several sailors adjusted the direction of the sail according to the wind direction, and fixed the cables on the deck stakes.

The fortune boat took advantage of the wind, and it was downstream, and soon raised the speed, faster than the galloping horse, this section of the river is already the tail of the Wei River, very wide, the fortune boat broke the river, brought up bursts of waves, the wind blew on the sail to make a whirring sound, the broad sail shook gently, and the mast and the hull then made a creaking sound.

After a while, the fortune boat has sailed out of the mouth of the Weihe River, into the Liaohai Sea, the sea and sky in front of the hand are endless, there are pieces of sail shadows in the distance to the north, Lu Donkey has never been out to sea, looking at the scenery in front of him sighed: "Big brother, it is the first time I have seen so much water when I am so big." ”

Zhao Dongjia stood at the bow of the boat in high spirits, as long as he returned to the sea, it seemed that everything was in his hands, and other things were not in his mind, so Mr. Song was with him, and the two were talking about something, at this time the black cannon walked to his side and said to him: "Big brother, there is a wave boat over there, it may be from the sailor, should we raise the flag?" ”

Zhao Dongjia looked in the direction pointed by the black cannon, a small fortune boat-style wave boat came far away, turned his head to look at Mr. Song, Mr. Song nodded, the black cannon used hand and foot along the mast in the middle, climbed into Wangdou like a monkey, took out a flag with a blue background and hung it, the flag waved in the wind, and the wave boat turned and left after a while.

Chen Xin looked at the flag with a little surprise, Lu Donkey was illiterate, and asked, "Brother Chen, what is written on it?" ”

"Dengzhou Kaido Clock."
