Chapter 240: Invitation

I felt two torch-like gazes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion looked www.biquge.info looking for a feeling, and saw Zheng Gongcheng standing in the crowd, frowning and staring at me contemplatively. We looked at each other, and I told him with a look of humility or arrogance that we were equal and that it was okay to help, but I would not be an appendage to anyone.

He was a wise man, and evidently understood what I meant, and in the midst of the crowd he put his right hand on his left chest, leaned forward slightly, and bowed to me with infinite respect.

I nodded, nodded at him, and went headlong into the hole, where I went to rest.

I heard him give an order, "Ma Huan, give the order to go down and rest on the spot." ”

"Yes." This is Ma Huan's voice.

Then a voice with an equally feminine voice said, "Father-in-law, what kind of person is this?"

“...... Expert. ”

"Yes, it's really unprecedented, if it can be used by us, wouldn't our family be like a tiger?"

After a sigh, it was Gonggong Zheng's voice: "...... You are wrong, this person will not be used by anyone. ”

"What do you mean, father-in-law?"

"It's good to be safe. Judging from what he did, this person is very kind-hearted and will not do anything harmful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped in to save Ma Huan. ”

"Well, that's what you said."

After being silent for a while, I heard the woman's feminine voice say, "Father-in-law, this master doesn't speak, and we don't know how long he will stay before he comes out of the cave." Otherwise, you go back to the ship and rest, here I am, you can rest assured. You haven't closed your eyes since last night!"

"Alas, there is no need, this water is not replenished, my heart is always unsteady, and I can't sleep when I go back. Besides, I don't want the master to think that we have neglected him. ”

After a while, Gonggong Zheng said, "Father-in-law, if he doesn't want to go with us, leave him more clothes and daily necessities, and he can provide us with precious fresh water, which will be a great favor to us."

"Got it, father-in-law...... If he has a heart and knows that you have thought so well for him, he will definitely be moved. ”

Gonggong Zheng sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity ......"

He didn't say any more, I guess he was a pity that I couldn't use him, right?

I didn't go out immediately, but fell asleep inside.

That Gonggong Zheng didn't return to the boat, just waited outside. In the meantime, some people couldn't wait to start a complaint, but they were all stopped by him.

It wasn't until the sun was sinking in the west and it wasn't so hot that I poked my head out of the cave and looked up. Seeing that there was no movement, he went down to the bottom of the mountain, filled the bucket with water, and pulled the rope.

The people above are also tired, and they have already slept like pigs under the warm sun, and they don't even notice that I have gone down, and now they are waking up one after another when the rope moves. Soon, everyone was busy again.

This time, I picked up the speed and was significantly more efficient, and the lake bottomed out when it got dark.

When I climbed up, there was already a torch lit on it, and Gonggong Zheng personally reached over to give me a hand. It was really beyond my expectation that he could do this, and I hesitated for a moment, so I didn't pretend to be pretentious, and jumped out of the roundabout with his hand.

"Thank you, little brother." Gonggong Zheng said to me with a kind face and an amiable smile.

I shook my head, meaning you're welcome.

Unexpectedly, he didn't let go, and the other hand immediately wrapped around my shoulder, and couldn't help but say that he hugged me and walked down the mountain, and said as he walked: "Little brother, you helped us solve a big problem, so hard, I didn't eat lunch well, I really don't want to go, I have asked people to prepare delicious food and wine on the ship, just waiting for you, you can't shirk it no matter what!" ”

To be honest, I don't like it when someone talks to me so closely, and though he looks much older, we must not know each other, and his steps pause, and his brow furrows.

Ma Huan interjected on the side: "Little Engong, do you know? We're making you really like to be a brother! He's been so good to you, my brother who has followed him for many years is looking hot! As he spoke, he laughed heartily.

These two people, one is a "little brother" calling, and the other is "little Engong", anyway, I can't do without a "little" word. However, looking at their faces that have been engraved with the vicissitudes of time, I was immediately relieved, although my heart is no longer immature, but I may be a child in their eyes.

When I think about it this way, I feel a lot more relieved.

Really, what a person, and still hypocritical, I smiled self-deprecatingly, and the stiff muscles in my body relaxed.

Gonggong Zheng suddenly stopped and stared at my face in a daze.

I looked at him with a frown and an inquiring eye, and he immediately woke up and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay." As he spoke, he took my hand with his backhand and walked down the mountain.

Ma Huan patted his heart with his big thick palm and said, "Little Engong, you laugh so funny, just like the person in the painting, you should smile more!" ”

Then he trotted after Gonggong Zheng and asked, "Father-in-law, what is that word called, I think it is the most appropriate to describe Xiao Engong." ”

Gonggong Zheng looked ahead, and said without looking back: "Bright eyes and bright teeth." ”

Gonggong Zheng's hands are big, warm and powerful, and he knows that he is a practitioner when he shakes it.

Looking at his generous back, I really had an illusion for a while, as if I had returned to the way my father held my hand when I was a child, although my father's back was not tall, but it was a permanent monument in my heart.

And the abbot master......

When I thought of the abbot and his old man, the thoughts of him suddenly swept over me like a flood, stirring in my chest, stirring me up and making my nose sour.

I blinked vigorously, not letting the tears fall, suppressed my emotions, and let Gonggong Zheng pull me and follow him step by step.

I followed him aboard the largest treasure ship, and was already on deck with lanterns, courteously leading the way.

We were led through a lobby. The door of the lobby is open, there are many tables and chairs inside, and many people are sitting in it eating, giggling and laughing, very lively. A sharp-eyed person noticed us passing by, and immediately tilted his head to look secretly, and the inside suddenly fell silent.

There was a door open on the side of the lobby, and there were soldiers standing there, and when they saw us coming, they turned sideways and let us in.

It turned out to be a luxurious private room, and a large table full of food was already on the table, and the aroma was attractive, and five eunuch-like people were sitting on the benches beside them, sipping tea, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
