"Have someone take it to town and ask." Bai Jingning handed the hand stove to a long entourage standing next to him, looked at the steward and ordered, "Take me to see those three places." Brother Qiao, you come too. ”

The steward led the way in front, and the guards gathered up, holding the hilt of the sword, and spread out in formation, guarding Bai Jingning and Bai Yao, and striding towards the two cliffs that Guo Sheng had been to yesterday.

Dong Laosan was barefoot, standing next to a fishing boat not far from Bai Jingning's group, and was vigorously brushing off the shellfish at the bottom of the boat with pumice, aiming at Bai Jingning's group of people who walked away, threw pumice stones, stretched their waists, and four or five people who were mending fishing nets and drying fish not far away all stopped their work, took things, and looked like they were going home.

"Xiaohai, go take a look, it's far away." Dong Laosan snorted at the young man who had just mended the fishing net.

Haiqing sighed, picked up a big fishing basket on his back, took a long iron skewer, and went along the beach to pick seafood and wild vegetables.

When Bai Jingning went up to the side of the cliff, it was already dark, the guards lit torches, and Bai Jingning carefully looked at the place where Guo Sheng and Dong Laosan had been lying last night.

"Look, these are two people, they should have fallen down from here, climbed all the way here, and the people here should have left before the little ones came, not in a hurry." The steward seemed to be extremely good at searching in the field, pointing to the place where Guo Sheng and Dong Laosan got down and got up again, all the way to the good place on the cliff to look down on the sea boats.

"It's up to us." Bai Qiao lay on his stomach where Dong Laosan was lying yesterday, looked down, stood up and said to his father.

"Well, let's take a look over there." Bai Jingning's face was gloomy.

The steward took Bai Jingning, went down to the bottom of the cliff first, and pointed to a big black stone facing their big big ship, "The hand stove that is still hot was found in this corner, otherwise it ......"

The steward looked at the big bare black stone, otherwise, there would be no way to find that there had been a person lying on the stone.

"Look, when the tide rises in the morning and evening, you have to come here, get the hand stove, and find that it is still hot, so the small one will quickly take someone to search for people, but I still haven't found it, I came to see here." The steward took Bai Jingning to look at the one-person high cave behind the big black stone, close to the cave, and the water inside was roaring.

"The small one here has been checked, and it leads to a beach behind, and when the tide rises in the morning, the tide rushes in from here, and washes all the way to the beach behind, and then retreats, and there is nothing on the beach, and there are no footprints in sight."

The steward carefully explained why the hand stove was still hot, but he didn't get anyone.

"There's another place over here." The steward took Bai Jingning to look at an extremely narrow gap in the sky next to him, "People can go over, walk one or two hundred steps, and go out." Here, the tide can also rush in, leaving no trace. There were two more places on the other side, but they were a little far away, and the little one thought that the man had fled from these two sides, a quarter and a half of an hour earlier, just in time for the early high tide, and there was no trace of them. ”

"Well, go up and have a look." Bai Jingning didn't pay much attention to the two retreats, but stood on the big black stone, took advantage of the stars and moon, and looked around carefully, here, it is a good place to catch turtles in the urn.

"Yes." The steward helped Bai Jingning down, walked to the front in a few steps, and led everyone to the other cliff.

Looking out from the position where the people were lying on the other side of the cliff, what I saw was not the big sea ship of the Bai family and the bay, but the vast sea outside the bay.

Bai Jingning stood and watched for a moment, picked up his robe and lay down in that position, looked at it for a while, his face changed slightly, and he stood up and motioned to Bai Qiao, "You can also take a look." ”

Bai Qiao hurriedly lay down, looked up for a moment, jumped up and said, "Daddy, this is ......"

"I'll talk about it later." Bai Jingning motioned to his son, turned his head to look at the steward and asked, "How many people are around?" ”

"Master, we have few people, this place is too big, I really can't see it." The steward looked bitter, this time their master went to work, and the authentic light car was simple.

"Let's go back first." Bai Jingning was silent for a moment and ordered, this is not the place to speak.

Bai Qiao followed his father closely, one hand clutching the hilt of his sword.

Seeing that Bai Jingning and his party were walking away, Haiqing hurriedly stood up and ran back to the town with a smoke.

……………………

In the evening, when the sun was still hanging high, Guo Sheng and Xu Huan arrived at a lively seaside town.

The two entered the town, first found an inn to settle down, left the inn, and went straight to the dock.

On the wharf, large and small fishing boats and sea boats are crowded one by one, and it is extremely chaotic. Guo Sheng and Xu Huan walked around the dock with their hands behind their backs, looking at the new and old ships, different sizes, and different shapes.

Yu Datou trotted over, "Two masters, do you want to take the goods or give them away?" The small one has a big ship, a brand-new big ship, and can load goods and sit people, are the two masters going north or south? Two masters......"

"It's really making you noisy, let's go, go and see." Guo Sheng waved his hand with disgust, Yu Datou's smiling mouth couldn't be bigger, nodded and bowed, trotted in front of him, and went straight to a big boat parked on the side of the dock that didn't look very new, but was indeed very large.

A small boat rowed over and picked up three people to the big boat.

Hu Panshi poked his head out of the cabin, saw Guo Sheng, and immediately smiled, "Brother, how about waiting for you for a few days?" Traveling now? North or south? Gotta go north, right? The big head says you're from the north. ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, find someone to go to the inn to pack up my things, do you have any letters?" Guo Sheng commanded as he entered the cabin.

"Big head go for a trip. Yes, those who stayed in the inn said that they wanted Da Lang to study hard, and the silver matters were all arranged. Hu Panshi hurriedly replied.

Guo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me to go down, rest for the night, set off early tomorrow morning, go north first, find the Bai family's boat, and lean over, and, how many boats have been arranged?" ”

"Four, according to my brother's orders, let them load the goods, there are our people on the ship, give enough money, and say okay, let them go as they want." Hu Panshi hurriedly replied.

Guo Sheng snorted, walked around the cabin, found the fishing rod, picked it up and cleaned it up, and ordered: "According to the arrangement, let's arrange it, let's go on a few fish." ”

Guo Sheng motioned to Xu Huan, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and Xu Huan reluctantly stood up and followed Guo Sheng out of the cabin.

Hu Panshi hurriedly ordered the boat to go to the deep sea, so that his brother could fish well.

Outside, the afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled on the sea, the waves were surging, the golden light was beating, Guo Sheng threw out the fishing hook hard, and said to Xu Huan without looking back: "You say, can this rod catch a big fish?" ”
