Chapter Twenty-Four: Can't Get on the Boat
At this moment, Xi Yan, who came over, pulled Xi Yu and walked towards the boat next to Mu Chen.
Jun'an just wanted to say to Mu Chen, when he saw Mu Chen eating, he was stunned for a moment, closed his mouth, and looked up at the outside of the boat, only to find that Xi Yan and Xi Yu who came over were gone.
Xi Yan and Xi Yu walked to the side of the boat, the two of you, look at me, I see you stunned under the boat.
"You're a man, you ask, and I don't know how to ask!" Xi Yan turned to look at Xi Yu.
"Okay!" Xi Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Xi Yan and took a deep breath, and after speaking, he raised his feet and walked to the plank connecting the dock and the boat.
Xi Yan stood under the boat and watched, watching Xi Yu carry the burden and walk onto the boat, until she couldn't see Xi Yu's figure, Xi Yan turned her head left and right to look around.
A moment later, Xi Yu walked down from the plank, and the morning sun was shining on him.
Xi Yan heard the footsteps, turned her head to look over, and the white jade pendant on Xi Yu's waist refracted a bright light.
Xi Yan instantly narrowed her eyes, raised her head upward, and tilted her head to look at Xi Yu who was strolling down: "How is it?" ”
Xi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Xi Yan, lowered his head and shook his head gently, walked to Xi Yan's side, and stopped in front of Xi Yan: "They won't leave today, they will be loaded with goods in a few days before they leave for Beijing." ”
"Oh! So what do we do? Xi Yan looked at Xi Yu.
"Go ask the other ships!" Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan and said, turned to look at the boat by the dock, glanced back at Xi Yan, and reached out to pull Xi Yan's wrist: "Go!"
Xi Yan sighed, let Xi Yu pull her, and walked to another boat.
Xi Yu and Xi Yan came to Boss Liu's ship, and when they looked up, they saw Boss Liu directing the sailors to move the goods, Xi Yu turned his head to look at Xi Yan: "Eldest sister, you wait here, I'll ask!"
"Hey! Hurry up, you have to leave at noon today!" Boss Liu stood by the side of the ship, watching the coolies moving goods back and forth.
Xi Yu dodged the coolies carrying the bag left and right, quickly walked in front of Boss Liu, stopped, raised his hands and gave a salute: "Excuse me!"
Boss Liu glanced down at Xi Yu, and seeing that Xi Yu was carrying a burden, he directly raised his hand and waved his hand to Xi Yu: "This boat has been packed!" Go ask someone else! ”
Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and saluted again: "Thank you!" ”
"Brother, as soon as I want to live on the ship for more than two months, I feel depressed!" On the side of the ship's plywood, Mu Chen and Mu Qing were drinking tea and talking, and Mu Chen saw someone on the boat and looked sideways.
Mu Qing saw Mu Chen looking behind him distractedly, stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look over.
"It's the boy from yesterday, why is he alone?" Mu Qing looked at Xi Yu and turned her head to look at Mu Chen as she spoke.
"You must have sold that impertinent minion!" Mu Chen looked at Xi Yu, watched Xi Yu turn around to leave, got up and walked over: "Hey! Xi Gongzi!"
Xi Yu had just taken two steps, heard the shout, stopped, turned his head to look over, Xi Yu saw Mu Chen with one hand behind his back and the other hand across his chest, strode over, hurriedly raised his hand and saluted, and walked towards Mu Chen with his feet raised.
Boss Liu turned his head to look at Mu Chen, then looked back at Xi Yu, and stared at Xi Yu intently.
"Xi Gongzi took a boat to Beijing?" Mu Chen stopped in front of Xi Yu.
"Back to the Hou Ye, exactly!" Xi Yu smiled at Mu Chen and lowered his head and replied.
Mu Chen nodded to Xi Yu, and looked sideways at Boss Liu, who was looking at Xi Yu: "Boss Liu, he is my old friend, let him get on the boat!" ”
"Good, good!" Boss Liu raised his eyes to look at Mu Chen, and after listening to Mu Chen's words, he nodded vigorously with a smile, and then raised his hand and beckoned to the sailors on the ship: "Come here, bring this Xi Gongzi in and settle down!"
A sailor in a coarse cloth vest ran over quickly, bent down and nodded at Boss Liu, and turned to look at Xi Yu: "Master Xi, please inside!" ”
"Thank you, Master Hou, thank you Boss Liu!" Xi Yu turned around and said to Mu Chen, looked at Boss Liu and thanked him, looked back at the sailor, and continued: "This little brother, can you wait for me, I still have a relative, I'll call her!"
After Xi Yu finished speaking, he turned around and ran, Mu Chen listened to Xi Yu's words, his eyes widened in shock, and he opened his mouth to call Xi Yu as soon as he saw Xi Yu quickly run off the boat.
Mu Chen took a deep breath, turned his hands behind his back, stood beside Boss Liu, and looked at the plank walking towards the dock.
After a while, Xi Yu helped Xi Yan onto the plank and walked onto the plywood on the boat.
"Master Xi, if you want to take him, then you are looking for a boat! , This ship has been filled with our people, and it was originally for your mother's sake that you could let Jun An get out of the house, but if you two of you, there is no way!"
As soon as Xi Yan stepped on the splint, she heard Mu Chen's voice, raised her eyes and looked over, and when she saw that it was really Mu Chen, she turned her head to look at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu listened to Mu Chen's words, froze in place, glanced at Mu Chen, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan: "Eldest sister, we're still looking for it!" ”
"Go, who wants to be on a boat with him! Hum! Xi Yan said to Xi Yu, turned her head to look at Mu Chen, snorted coldly, and stretched out her hand to pull Xi Yu to leave!
"Wait, two!" Boss Liu saw that Xi Yu and Xi Yan were leaving, and raised his hand to stop Xi Yan and Xi Yu.
Xi Yan and Xi Yu turned their heads to look at Boss Liu, Boss Liu walked in front of Xi Yu, bent down and stretched out his hand, pinching the jade pendant on Xi Yu's waist and shaking.
Boss Liu looked at it seriously for a while, straightened up, and raised his eyes to look at Xi Yu: "The two ships here have my ship to leave today, and the others, the fastest to set sail is five days later, if the two of you are not in a hurry, you can go to the shore and wait!"
Everyone watched Boss Liu's actions, and when they saw Boss Liu standing up and talking, they all looked at Boss Liu.
"We're in a hurry, if we don't leave, I'm afraid your uncle and uncle will send someone to arrest us!" Xi Yan turned her head to look at Xi Yu, who was stunned on the side.
Xi Yu looked down at the jade pendant on his waist, and Xi Yan's reminder rang in his ears. 'Boss Liu, is this taking a fancy to my jade pendant? Should I exchange the jade pendant for a place to take a boat? ’
"Xi Yu, what do you want?" Xi Yan shouted Xi Yu again, Xi Yu looked up at Xi Yan, Xi Yan glanced at Xi Yu, who was unresponsive, turned her head to look at Boss Liu: "Boss, you have a kind heart, give us a ride!" Please, we'll give you money!"
When Xi Yu heard Xi Yan's words, he instantly came back to his senses, opened his eyes a little, and looked at Boss Liu: "Yes!" I can give you money, I can give you all the money!"
"Huh! What do I want your money for, I am a merchant who runs a business, and the money you pay for a boat is not worth one percent of the money I make when I run a cargo! Boss Liu raised his hand and touched his beard, and laughed.
Xi Yu lowered his head and sighed, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan. Xi Yan Yuguang saw that Xi Yu turned his head to look at him, then glanced at Xi Yu with a sideways face, turned his head to look at Mu Chen, who was looking at them with his hands behind his back: "Can't you let one?" Then I'll sleep with Xi Yu!"
Xi Yu listened to Xi Yan's words, first looked at Xi Yan with wide eyes, and then Xi Yan reached out and pulled Xi Yu's arm, Xi Yu blinked his eyes and turned his head to look at Mu Chen: "Yes, we can live in one room!"
"No, it will take more than two months to enter Beijing, Jun'an is responsible for protecting me, if he doesn't rest well, he won't be able to give full play to his strength." Mu Chen glanced at Xi Yan with a cold face, and looked to the side slightly.
Boss Liu listened to Mu Chen's words and laughed.
Xi Yan looked at Mu Chen's cold appearance, gritted her teeth and pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, turned her head to look at Xi Yu, and saw Mu Qing being helped by Ziyun to the cabin, hurriedly looked at Mu Qing quickly, raised her feet and ran over.
"Hey! Eldest sister!" Xi Yu saw Xi Yan running away, and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.
Mu Chen and Boss Liu followed Xi Yan with their eyes and turned their heads to look over.
Xi Yan ran in front of Mu Qing, opened her hands, blocked Mu Qing's way, and raised her eyes to look at Mu Qing with a pant.
Mu Qing was frightened by Xi Yan, who suddenly appeared, grabbed Ziyun's body with both hands, and hid behind Ziyun, Jun'an watched Xi Yan rush towards Mu Qing, and quickly ran over, blocking Mu Qing and Ziyun.
Xi Yan was just about to speak, but Jun'an, who suddenly blocked Mu Qing, closed her mouth and looked up at Jun'an: "You get up, I have something to tell Miss Muqing!"
"This son, what's the matter, just say it!" Jun An lowered his eyes and looked at Xi Yan with a cold face.
Mu Chen looked at Xi Yan and stopped Mu Qing, pursed his lips vigorously, gritted his teeth, and walked over with his feet raised.
Xi Yu looked at Mu Chen's angry face, watched Mu Chen turn around and leave, and hurriedly ran towards Xi Yan.
"Jun'an, get out of the way! I'm sure this boy won't hurt me!" Mu Qing tilted her head and glanced at Xi Yan, let go of the hand holding Ziyun, looked down at her clothes, looked up at Jun An's back, and said softly.
Jun An turned his head to look at Mu Qing, nodded, took a step to the side, and stood beside Mu Qing.
"That Muqing girl, can you help me! We want to get into Beijing as soon as possible, but the boss said, there is no ship to leave today, only you one, can you let your people give us a room? Just one!"
Mu Qing listened to Xi Yan's words, and Yu Guang saw someone running over, and before she turned her head, she saw Xi Yu running over and reached out to pull Xi Yan's arm.
"Ziyun, help Miss go back to the house!" Mu Chen strode over, Mu Qing was watching Xi Yan shake off Xi Yu's hand, and when she heard Mu Chen's words, she turned her head to look over, and casually dodged Ziyun's outstretched hand.
"Brother, aren't there several rooms in the cabin?" Mu Qing looked at Mu Chen and asked directly.
When Xi Yan and Xi Yu heard Mu Qing's words, their eyes widened, and they all turned their heads to look at Mu Chen.
"Ziyun, didn't you hear what I said?" Mu Chen didn't look at Mu Qing, and said directly and coldly.
"Miss!" Ziyun took a step towards Mu Qing and raised his hand to reach out to Mu Qing.
"Brother!" Mu Qing dodged Ziyun's hand again and shouted softly.
"You go back to the house, you don't need to ask about this, you are a girl's family, you were stopped by a man, and you have to help him speak, if it gets out, how can you be embarrassed to marry!" Mu Chen turned his head to look at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing slowly lowered her head, turned around and took Ziyun's hand, and let Ziyun help her into the cabin.
