"No, it's not an option to wait like this."

Yang Jinxin was restless, and kept looking out through the left and right windows in the back seat of the car, but unfortunately the car was always crowded with people, seriously blocking her vision.

Her face was white, her willow eyebrows were frowning, her nervous mood aggravated her breathing, and the huge ship on the dock pulled the whistle from time to time, which made Yang Jinxin extremely anxious, she patted the seat in front of her, and asked the driver Lao Wang while trying to look at the ship.

"Director Zhao said that the boat to the mountain city is nine o'clock, right?"

"yes, it's time...... It's coming! Lao Wang also raised his head eagerly and looked at the dock, "Don't worry, madam, there may be a delay on the road, Director Zhao knows in his heart, and he will definitely come." ”

Yang Jinxin nodded her head randomly, but the anxious expression on her face did not relax at all, she stared at the giant ship tightly, and after a few seconds, she finally couldn't sit still.

"No, we have to go to the front and have a look, in case we miss it, it's not good."

Yang Jinxin said that he was about to open the door and get out of the car, but Lao Wang was so anxious that he sweated and hurriedly stopped her.

"Madam, don't worry, I'll go down and dredge it first, what if I hurt you!"

Lao Wang said, he was not ambiguous, and opened the door decisively, after all, he was a person who stayed in the Overseer's Mansion all the year round, coupled with his tall and generous physique, it was easy to expel the surrounding refugees, so he came over to open the car door for Yang Jinxin, and whispered to Yang Jinxin when he bent down to block the door.

"Mrs. is kind-hearted, you can't give rewards here at will, if you are surrounded by these people, it will be troublesome."

"Good!"

Yang Jinxin nodded, although she pitied these people with yellow faces and thin muscles, Lao Wang was right, when kindness is inappropriate, it may become a tragedy.

The tall Lao Wang is a good human shield, coupled with the outstanding clothing of the two of them, and the temperament that they invisibly exude, it is easy to break through from the refugee group.

After descending the long stone steps, there are staff of the shipping company on duty, and the refugees are naturally blocked, and there are fewer people, but there are still people who travel, waiting in a long line to check the tickets and board the ship.

Yang Jinxin was placed on a small step by Lao Wang, and he would not be bumped into by the people around him, so he squeezed to the front to inquire about the situation.

Soon, Yang Jinxin was in the crowd and saw Lao Wang walking back, followed by a dark-skinned staff member wearing a sailor's uniform.

"Madam, I asked, this is the boat to the mountain city." Lao Wang first respectfully explained before introducing the staff around him to Yang Jinxin.

"This is First Officer Li of the Evergreen." He turned his head to introduce Yang Jinxin to the first mate, "This is our young lady." ”

The dark-skinned Li First Officer immediately saluted Yang Jinxin respectfully, and his slightly hoarse voice was sonorous and powerful, and he spoke simply and directly.

"Hello young lady, Master Wang has already said the situation just now. That's right, our passengers have just started to board the ship, and they haven't seen the young lady and the old mother that Master Wang said, they should not have arrived yet. ”

Yang Jinxin stood one step taller than them, but because of his height, he was at the same height as them at the moment, and when he heard Deputy Li say this, he felt a little relieved, and nodded his head.

"So there's a first mate of Lao Li, I'm really sorry to trouble you, that ...... My family, may be delayed on the road, can I trouble you, wait for them, but don't worry, it should be there soon. ”

First Officer Li obviously didn't expect that such a high-ranking official wife would say such polite words, and there was obviously a stunned expression on his face, and he said crampedly: "Young lady don't have to be polite, there is still a long time, I will definitely be able to wait for your family, I will go and talk to the captain."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

When Yang Jinxin heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled at him gratefully, and bowed slightly to him to thank him. But he didn't want to frighten the first mate to be even more helpless, and he couldn't even speak clearly, so he hurried to find the captain.

After a while, even the captain came to greet Yang Jinxin in person, and strongly invited Yang Jinxin to the office of the dock to rest and wait, but Yang Jinxin naturally refused. The captain immediately felt like a great enemy, for fear that she would have an accident on the dock, so he immediately sent security officers and guards on the dock to surround Yang Jinxin and stand on guard.

Watching his arrival cause this kind of trouble to the staff of the docks, because of himself, the people around him were evicted, causing a small chaos. Yang Jinxin was helpless, so he had to agree to go to the office with the captain and wait for the arrival of his sister and Zhao Zhijun.

This all-male office is not large, because it is built near the water, the whole room is half on the pier, half overhangs on the river, and the only window is facing the vast Yangtze River.

The office is not neat, but it is clean. The captain brought Yang Jinxin in, she didn't show a trace of disgust, and she didn't look too much, so she sat down on the chair generously, and then said with a smile.

"I'm really sorry to cause trouble to the captain today, my family is here, and I ask the captain to send someone to say it."

"Yes, yes, the young lady is polite!" The captain is a shriveled old man who is nearly fifty years old, perhaps because he has been running the boat all the year round, he is the same as the first mate, with a dark face and sparkling eyes, facing Yang Jinxin, a delicate young official's wife, quite unnatural.

Yang Jinxin naturally saw his nervousness, said a few words, and let him go. Although the ship arrived, she also knew that Zhao Zhijun was naturally credible. But for some reason, Yang Jinxin's heart is always hanging high, the fingers that grabbed the handbag were pale, almost scratching the soft skin, even if she didn't say or ask, it was not difficult to see that she was full of nervousness in her heart.

Even when he arrived at this office, Lao Wang still didn't worry about leaving Yang Jinxin alone in this strange place, and went to the dock from time to time to check the situation, and in the next two hours, he didn't know how many times he had run, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead had revealed his anxiety at the moment.

Yang Jinxin is no exception, the longer the time passes, the more her face becomes white, and her heart is empty, which is a kind of panic of fear. She couldn't sit still anymore and began to spin around the room.

As the minutes ticked by, the wall clock in the office was already pointing to 8:50, but there was still no news ahead. This made Yang Jinxin stare at the pointer even more closely, never thinking that time would be so torturous.

"Master Wang, you go to the front to see if the crew missed Director Zhao and them."

"Yes!"

Lao Wang answered, but Yang Jinxin closed his eyes almost in despair, from the Overseer's Mansion to the small courtyard, and then from the small courtyard to the dock, it would not take so long anyway. Although she kept convincing herself that she was only delayed on the road, she knew that in this case, it was only possible that there was an accident, but what was that accident?

After a while, someone knocked on the door, Yang Jinxin hurriedly shouted in, and looked at the door in surprise, which made the first mate who came in stunned for a moment, and what he originally wanted to say didn't know how to speak in the face of her flower-like smile.

Yang Jinxin's smile also froze, and he slowly pulled the corners of his mouth again.

"How's it going?"

Senior Officer Li looked at her and said hesitantly: "Young lady Hui, I will leave Hong Kong in ten minutes, look ......"

Yang Jinxin lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes fanned slightly, covering the pupils of his eyes, the touch of loss, the clear voice lowered, and the unstoppable melancholy gently echoed in the air.

"Can I trouble you to wait? Just wait another ten minutes. ”

"This ......" First Officer Li, a swarthy and upright man, looked at her, where could he say anything to refuse, not to mention that her identity was still there, gritted her teeth, and made the master for the captain.

"That'...... Please understand that we will have to wait for another half an hour at most, and we will have to set sail on time to avoid the wind and waves on the river. ”

Yang Jinxin raised his head in surprise, his moist and bright eyes emitted a moving light, and he saw that Deputy Li's face was hot for a while, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, and heard Yang Jinxin's voice full of joy that could not be concealed.

"Thank you so much, thank you...... Thank you! ”

When First Officer Li saw that she began to bend down to thank her, she brushed her face white, and waved her hands crampedly, "Don't ...... Other...... Don't dare to be a ...... Don't dare to be a ...... Walk...... Let's go. ”

He hurriedly stepped back, tripped over the threshold, held on to the door frame in a panic, and ran away in a hurry.

Time passed minute by minute, still did not see Zhao Zhijun and Yang Jinhuan, Yang Jinxin could not stay in the office any longer, she was accompanied by the captain and Lao Wang, standing on the dock together, anxiously looking at the shuttle of people.

The passengers on the pier had already boarded the ship, and the ships that were scheduled to sail later than the Evergreen had already left the dock one after another, leaving only the Evergreen still waiting.

The sky was gloomy, the dense fog on the river could not be dispersed for a long time, and the cold autumn wind blew along the river, making Yang Jinxin standing on the dock tremble slightly.

Some passengers began to protest, and the captain also euphemistically expressed the meaning that he had to set sail, Yang Jinxin's cold white lips trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth, she still wanted to wait a little longer, she hoped that her sister could leave.

"Young lady...... Let's ......" The captain said a few words, and then he heard Lao Wang and called out in surprise.

"Ma'am, here you are!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, a black and shiny classic car came towards the dock at lightning speed.

"Captain, please wait a minute, my sister is here!" Yang Jinxin tugged the captain's hand excitedly, and didn't care if he agreed, and immediately went to the car.

The car stopped far away, and Zhao Zhijun, who was dressed in military uniform, got out of the car, rushed down the long steps with a wind under his feet, and then saw Mama Li also trembling and coming down from behind, but she didn't see the figure she was thinking about.

Yang Jinxin stopped suddenly, his face turned white, and he looked at them in disbelief, Zhao Zhijun was already close in front of him.

"What about my sister? What about my sister? Yang Jinxin asked repeatedly, and there was an unprecedented fierceness in his voice.

Zhao Zhijun stopped, frowned tightly, saluted her respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

"The subordinates were negligent in their duties and did not receive Miss Lily...... She...... It's gone! ”
