Chapter 239: Something Goes Wrong
"The bottom of this boat...... If it is washed by the sea, I am afraid it will be completely washed away......" Qing Ci said as he walked around to the side of the boat and smacked his lips.
"Yes, I can only say that last night's sudden wind and waves came too timely. Ji Zi'an stared at Qing Ci and said meaningfully.
"Brother Ji, what are you looking at me for? You can't look at my ship in an instant, right?" Qing Ci asked with a wink, pretending to be puzzled.
At this time, a hand was on Qing Ci's shoulder, Qing Ci turned his head to see that the person who came was Cang Wunian, and he said lightly: "When you come back, hurry up and work." Don't you see that everyone is busy?"
Qing Ci found out that several women were gesturing around a drawing.
"Say, what do you need me to do?" Qing Ci asked with his hands on his chest and Ji Zi'an.
"You go over and look at the construction diagram in their hands, and then you know what you have to do. Ji Zi'an smiled faintly.
Qing Ci pursed his lips, walked over to a few women, and poked his head to look at the drawing. It's just a matter of not looking at it, and at first glance, Qingci instantly felt that he was being taken into the pit by Ji Zi'an.
The drawings are full of intricate and scattered parts of the ship's bottom mechanism, and the size of each part is clearly marked. However, they had nothing but a pile of wooden pillars cut into sections. Needless to say, making organ parts must be done by everyone, and he is a dignified man, I am afraid that he will have to take over the work of carpentry and wood cutting.
"Qing Ci, you are the most careful on weekdays, what can you do with these pieces of wood right now?" An Ruyue put her elbow on Ding Qing Ci's chest, and smiled a little gloating.
The corners of Qing Ci's eyes twitched, and he pulled An Ruyue aside, and roared very dissatisfiedly: "I said that you girl, have you figured out whose mother-in-law she is?
An Ruyue glanced at him angrily, "What is the mother-in-law, the little girl is still a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out! ”
"Yo yo yo!" Qing Ci was happy, and lightly reached out to hook An Ruyue's chin, and said with a wicked smile: "My sister Ruyue, is this hinting to me, it's time for us to develop further?"
An Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then took a sip and said angrily: "Scoundrel!"
Qing Ci's smile was even worse, and he continued unrelentingly: "Don't be shy, I promise you that I won't let you wait too long." You have to be mentally prepared to really be my person after that point!"
"I said, two elders, can you pick a time when you flirt with a few people......? We are very embarrassed!" Wan Qian Scarlet Yi was almost driven crazy by the two of them, and the two of them have put on a look of you and me singing and following the wife almost anytime and anywhere, which really taught Wan Qiao to be envious and jealous.
"Okay, okay, no kidding. I will leave the delicate work of making parts to you, and the rough work of planing wood will be handed over to me, who called the woman of the young master to feel sorry for her sisters!" Qing Ci pretended to sigh, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to throw a wink at An Ruyue.
An Ruyue's face was red, although she didn't give him a good look, but her heart was beautiful.
The day was spent in the busy work of everyone, and by the evening, more than half of the wooden stakes had been polished, and nearly half of the polished wooden stakes had been carved and brushed with Ji Zi'an's special antiseptic and waterproof sap.
"At this pace, we will be able to set sail again the day after tomorrow. Ji Zi'an looked at the process that everyone had completed, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then are we going to have to sleep on the beachhead these two days?" asked Wan Qiyi.
Ji Ziran sighed, "Everyone will be wronged for two days, it is windy at night, and I am responsible for lighting a fire for everyone." ”
"Come on, don't be a hero alone, let's take turns on duty for the three of us. If you're tired, we'll have to postpone our ship's sailing. Qing Ci said angrily.
Seeing Cang Wunian's nod of approval at a glance, Ji Zi'an did not refuse.
Time passed quickly, and early in the morning of the third day, Ji Zi'an assembled and pieced together the parts of the mechanism that everyone had made together in the past two days.
Qing Ci was amazed when he saw it on the side, and secretly wondered in his heart: I can't see that this little white face really has two brushes. Renovating a ship is really a coarse and delicate job, which is naturally reflected in the ingenious structure of each part, and this coarse refers to the courage to transform a decent ship and the amount of energy required in the process of transformation.
At noon, the most poisonous time of the day in the summer, Ji Zi'an finally announced that their ship had been repaired and could set sail immediately.
This news was like a rain from a long drought, which made everyone feel like a spring breeze and refreshed.
"I suddenly got a little nervous. Standing at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, the painting Allure that embarked on the journey again suddenly felt a little emotional.
"What are you nervous about?" An Ruyue asked puzzled.
"I don't know. Although the ice silk of Yuanqiao Mountain is not a treasure needed to paint souls, I always feel that something unexpected will happen. Other than that...... There's one thing I'm concerned about. "The mood of the painting Allure is a little low.
An Ruyue blinked, a little puzzled why this girl who looked simple and lively on weekdays had such a strange mood on this day when she should be happy.
"Allure, what's wrong with you?" An Ruyue asked.
Hua Chengcheng paused, as if sorting out the wording in his heart, and asked out loud after a while: "Sister Ruyue, what do you think is the ...... between Gongzi Ji and Miss Ji?" Is there something wrong?"
An Ruyue raised her eyebrows, and said without thinking: "One of them is a master, the other is a servant, and if there is a problem, it is also something you and I want, how can we outsiders intervene? Besides, Ji Wuxin is just a puppet, maybe Ji Zi'an has always just treated her as a tool." ”
"Do you really just think Miss Ji is a puppet?" asked Hua Chengcheng suspiciously.
An Ruyue's face froze slightly, "I understand what you mean." Actually, to be honest, I really haven't seen her as a puppet. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a heart, and that the bones and blood in her body were made by witch vines, I think her behavior and her thoughts would be no different from a normal woman. I've never seen such a magical puppet anyway. ”
"In this way, even Sister Ruyue thinks that there is something wrong with Miss Ji's identity?" asked Hua Chengcheng.
"When you think about it, there are some problems. Could it be that she was originally a normal person, and she was refined into a puppet by Ji Gongzi?" An Ruyue said this, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Sister Ruyue, don't scare me. Moreover...... Ji Gongzi shouldn't be such a cruel person. The face of the painting Allure showed an unbearable look.
An Ruyue shook her head and sighed, "I don't know my heart." It's better to wait until you get the ice silk and draw a heart for Ji Wuxin, won't you know what she really thinks in her heart? Maybe the heart you drew for her will tell you what is going on between her and Ji Zi'an. ”
Hua Chengcheng pursed his lips, "If I can really reach that realm, it is not impossible to draw her a heart." As for the ...... between her and Ji Gongzi It's better to wait for her to say it herself, it's not good to peep into other people's hearts. ”
......
On the east bank of the Luo River, Qianji Villa, in the retreat room of the mountain behind the owner's mansion.
With a "poof", a mouthful of blood spurted out of Miaolan's mouth.
At this time, Miao Lan was sweating profusely, and her pale complexion and gloomy eyes looked particularly mad against the backdrop of the red blood stains at the corners of her mouth.
Since Qiao Sanniang came to the door that day, she has been secretly investigating what happened before and after Gu Wentian's injury for more than two months. Although these things seem to be almost traceless, but after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and when she took out the seal of the owner of Gu Wentian, those things that could not be found on weekdays gradually became a little more eyebrow-raising.
According to the news from Wolong City in Wansang Kingdom, on the night of April 17, Cang Wunian, who was still the young master of Qianji Pavilion at that time, had carried a woman on his back and hurriedly broke into an inn called "Gathering Huan" in Wolong City.
According to the inn's shopkeeper and shopkeeper, Cang Wunian didn't seem to be looking very good that day, and the woman he was carrying seemed to have fallen into a coma. When they left the next day, the man looked quite weak, and the woman looked like she was doing business as usual.
April 17 is the day when Gu Wentian was injured and disappeared; on April 18, Cang Wunian issued an order to flow fireflies, openly arresting his left and right protectors Hei Kui and Hei Yao; on April 19, Cang Wunian and Gu Wentian appeared together in Qianji Villa, Gu Wentian announced his abdication in public, and handed over full power to Cang Wunian in Qianji Pavilion; on April 20, Hei Kui and Hei Yao were recaptured, but except for Hei Yao who was slightly injured, the two were not punished at all, and even succeeded to the position of domain lord of Tiankui Domain and Tianhui Domain respectively after that......
After linking these things together, the more Miao Lan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, because all the spearheads were pointed at Cang Wunian - it was he who seriously injured Gu Wentian and forced Gu Wentian to abdicate, and even, he brutally shattered Gu Wentian's soul, so that he could only live in humiliation like a walking corpse from now on.
Through this period of investigation, Miao Lan also found that Cang Wunian was very close to the Demon Slaying Sect, and the woman named Allure was probably not ordinary in her relationship with the sect master of the Demon Slaying Sect. But the core information of the Demon Slaying Sect was indeed too secretive, so in the end, Miao Lan made a bold and dangerous decision, she wanted to search Gu Wentian's soul, and find out from his memory what caused him to be seriously injured, and who was so ruthless that he shattered his soul.
