Chapter 40: I Am Not a Thief
The Changfeng dart game was opened in Shangjing. The head of the dart has acquaintances in the government, because his martial arts are good and open-minded, and he is also famous in the rivers and lakes.
A few days ago, the dart bureau took over a job, and the employer was the family of the general soldier of the Dragon and Tiger Guards of the Xiang Army. The chief soldier is stationed in the military camp on Luoyang Road all the year round, and his only daughter also lives in the general soldier's mansion, and there is only a weak grandmother left in Beijing. This time, the general soldier sent a letter back to say that his daughter was going to get married, and this grandmother had missed her granddaughter for a long time, but she didn't want to bother her son to send someone to pick her up, so she only entrusted the Changfeng Dart Bureau to transport the dowry, and she could follow her to Luoyang.
The head of the dart did not personally escort the dart this time, but handed it over to his own son, so that he could experience more.
For darts transporters, being able to walk by water is also a beautiful difference, eliminating the toil of saddle carriage riding. What's more, the officials who came down from the imperial court recently handed over the water bandits in the Qingchuan area, and it is more stable to take the waterway.
The big boat departed from the ferry for a long time, the sky was clear, the river was wide, and the water was stable.
There are some rules for darts, such as "waking up day and night", which means that the daytime dart master enters the cabin to rest, and does not come out at night until the red sun is slanting westward.
The river breeze and water beat the rails from time to time. At this time, in the cabin, the young master Chen Shaoqing was cross-legged and closed his eyes, sinking into the spirit of dantian.
Suddenly, a figure came to the door, knocking three times.
"Is the young master awake? The meal was ready. ”
It was almost noon, and the sunlight could not penetrate through the oil window paper, and the house was a little dim. Chen Shaoqing has a weak crown of twenty, his temples are like a knife, his lines are cold and hard, and he opened a pair of indifferent eyes.
"Leave it out for now. Did the Lord's share deliver? ”
The people outside are the handymen of the dart board, and they are also responsible for everyone's food. He put down the food box and replied, "I sent it to the master's house first." ”
"Hmm." Chen Shaoqing responded and continued to close his eyes.
And the handymen outside were gone.

Therefore, Xiao Yu hid in the wooden box and followed the boat, suffocating and groggy. Who would have thought that she would be seasick with good martial arts!
There were a lot of goods piled up on the lower level of the cabin, and the box was already small, and she only felt that her stomach was overturning for a while, and she couldn't hold it anymore, so she covered her mouth tightly, grabbed a wide-mouthed bottle that she could touch next to her, and spit it all into it......
When she couldn't stand the smoke herself, she used a short thorn to pry open the wooden box and peek through a crack: the cargo hold was dark and quiet, and only the occasional footsteps walked around on the outer deck.
Therefore, Xiao Yu relaxed a little, put aside the vase he had just brought to the side, and turned over and walked out of the box neatly.
After a few breaths, she leaned cautiously out against the planks of the cabin. I was already hungry, so I was going to look for something to eat.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yu only walked out a few steps when she saw a person passing by with a food box, and she immediately squatted down in surprise and shrank in a dark shadow with bated breath.
The man was also clumsy, and he didn't even notice it.
Therefore, Xiao Yu tilted his head, saw that the man stopped at the door of a cabin, put down the food box, and followed the person inside to say a few words before leaving.
The people in the room didn't seem to have any intention of opening the door. Therefore, Xiao Yu was hungry and thirsty at the moment, hiding in the dark and staring directly at the food box, biting her dry lips, and her nose seemed to smell the fragrance.
She looked around to the right and left, and when she saw that no one was coming on the deck, she walked lightly. Half squatted down, bent his fingers and hooked the food box little by little. Then, the man quickly retreated into the shadows.
As soon as I opened the lid, the aroma of vegetables came to my face. Therefore, Xiaoyu's saliva was rising, and he immediately grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it. There was a greasy circle on her mouth, but she ate it with relish, and she didn't care about wiping it.
Suddenly, the hatch opened! A man stepped out with long legs, looked down at the delusion, and soon found this head.
So where did Xiao Yu come from and react, his frightened eyes were like elks, and he could only stare at each other, with a trace of chicken thigh meat left at the corner of his mouth that he didn't have time to swallow.
It's a bit silly.
Chen Shaoqing's cold eyes swept very sharply, and he pursed his thin lips expressionlessly, and said, "Thief? ”
It's over! Feeling embarrassed, Xiao Yu's mind spun fast: What should I do? You can't report this situation......
Su was stunned, so Xiao Yu rubbed his two fingers on the hem of his clothes to remove the greasy, straightened up and hugged his fists to salute: "Brother Tai, listen to my explanation." In the old Xiaoyu, I was deceived of the silver in Guzhou City when I first arrived, but I want to go to Luoyang to find someone, so I want to borrow your boat to take a trip. Don't worry, I'm really not a thief, as long as I get to Luoyang, I will definitely not follow you! ”
On her childish face, her candid gaze gives people the illusion. It's like, 'I accidentally got on your boat, and you're inhumane if you care'.
The most afraid of the dart will encounter the open robbery and stealing of the next set of the dart halfway, if it is a last resort, it is generally not nosy to care. So Chen Shaoqing put his kindness aside, his vigilance was not reduced by a point, and a slender hand was already pressed on his waist.
It was a nine-section whip made of fine iron, with one end sharp and the other buckled around the belt. It doesn't look powerful, but once it is shot, it is skillfully entangled and quickly released, and the force is like a stick sweep.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's forehead oozed fine sweat, and his heart was not good: This paralyzed face is going to shine guys?!
As soon as I remembered the master's explanation before leaving: I don't know what the other party is doing, so I don't do it easily if I can.
Then he gritted his teeth and said: "The rivers and lakes are in emergency, you can do it conveniently!" ”
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Xiao Yu prepared to deal with it with a short thorn in his sleeve. For a moment, his eyes were like swords, and after a moment of confrontation, Chen Shaoqing's hand slowly slid down.
He said with a cold face: "Seeing that you are a little girl, I will not be embarrassed." ”
Therefore, Xiao Yu said in his heart, 'I bah', and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment. Chen Shaoqing suddenly asked her, "How did you get on the boat?" ”
Therefore, Xiao Yu thought about it and said bluntly: "Hide in your dart box." ”
"Follow me."
After Chen Shaoqing finished speaking indifferently, he walked to the other end of the cargo hold.
Therefore, Xiao Yu didn't know why, and felt that this paralyzed face didn't seem to hurt her, so she kept up with people step by step.
"Poof" A bunch of flames swayed, and it turned out that Chen Shaoqing took out the fire fold and lit the candlestick. The light was faint, illuminating the square inch under the feet of the two.
Bright and dark, he glanced back at Gu Xiaoyu, who pointed to a mahogany box in a faint manner.
As soon as I opened it, it stinked.
Chen Shaoqing was still expressionless.
Therefore, Xiao Yu thought that he was not stunned, and stretched out a finger to push his arm.
Chen Shaoqing gave her a cold look and said, "Xinglin Chunyan porcelain white vase." ”
"Huh?" So Xiao Yu didn't understand.
Chen Shaoqing stared at her with some reproachful eyes: "This vase is the goods of the employer's dart. ”
This porcelain white vase is mixed and transparent, lined with mountain stones, and the apricot forest is bright yellow. Of course, the light at this time is not very clear.
It's precious! Therefore, Xiao Yu secretly stuck out his tongue. Since he has found out, he simply has to rely on Luoyang. Having made up her mind, she blinked twice and said to her: "I'm really sorry, I'm just getting seasick." Why don't I wash you up? ”
"I don't need you to come." Chen Shaoqing pinched the vase and said in an indifferent tone: "No accident, the boat will arrive in Luoyang Yongcheng early tomorrow morning." Until then, you're going to stay here and don't go out. ”
