Chapter 72: The Beginning (1)

The person Ruixi can rely on now is one himself, and the housekeeper is one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut with just the two of them, it's impossible to sort out these strange things at once. The soap-clothed people from the capital did not come here only to pass on to the Ke family. It seems that there are other people here and the Ke family who are facing a great disaster, but the messenger warned Ruixi not to be too curious about who sent him before leaving, and even warned that he might be in unnecessary danger. The main reason is that Ruixi finds that he simply doesn't have enough mind to face so many problems. Almost one strange thing after another, it happened constantly, and the difficulty of dealing with it was far more difficult than the business affairs that Ruixi had to deal with in the past. There is also a reason to deal with that matter first, which makes Ruixi at a loss, and when the next person comes to ask how to deal with the big and small matters, Ruixi just waved his hand in annoyance and sent it away. The housekeeper accompanies him every day and says some reassuring words, but in the end it doesn't make much difference. Since something strange happened to the Ke family, many people have left the Ke family one after another, and Ruixi did not embarrass them, and gave them good words for the passage fee. The most hateful thing is that those shareholders and businessmen who have invested in the shares, without any prior greeting, have taken the valuable things they have identified as valuable from each store home, which is regarded as an automatic withdrawal of shares. Ruixi also went with these people, and he comforted himself that after all, the Ke family still had the largest share of the entire business, and it was the big head that was left behind, so that he would not be able to fall to the point in the end. The imperial court has not just cut off maritime overseas trade, and it is not enough to ban business, and the Ke family, which is not short of capital, will naturally have a comeback. He instructed the housekeeper to arrange the gentleman in the accounting room to be careful and close the door at the right time.

The parents have not yet found it, and Ruixi sent his subordinates to carry the coil to the nearby axis in vain to find it. Knowing that it was impossible for the two old men who were too old to go to those distant places, they still did this, but of course the result was no. Some of them can still come back to report a message, and some simply go away with the entanglement. There are two huge houses in the city and the countryside, and few people enter or leave. When Ruixi walked in the garden, the housekeeper followed behind, loyal. Ruixi once persuaded him to leave, but the old housekeeper refused with a smile, but persuaded Ruixi to find a proper place to settle down, and without further ado. Ruixi lamented that Gao Tang had not been seen, and the housekeeper tried his best to understand the filial piety of the Ke family, and Ruixi could be regarded as acquiescing. The housekeeper suggested that the imperial court sea ban had not yet been officially launched, and that he should take refuge overseas, perhaps because he could build a career based on the reputation he had established overseas in the past, and secondly, he would be far away from the jurisdiction of the Chinese imperial court, and he might be able to escape this difficulty.

Ruixi asked the housekeeper to pay attention to some other big families who suddenly moved their families, but they never visited. In this way, the words of the soap-clothed man are not necessarily entirely worth believing, and the homeless man on the street is singing the northern tune with a cow's shoulder blade. Ruixi and the housekeeper took a few homeless and unemployed people who were willing to follow the Ke family to avoid overseas, and after checking the two courtyards in the city and outside the city one by one, they exchanged the silver tickets stored into silver, and all of them were shipped to the Ke family's largest voyage ship. A series of strange things from beginning to end drove the Ke family, the first family in the south, from the city to a boat in the vast sea, and left the homeland of China. Ruixi was really unwilling to go from leaving the dock to not seeing the flag fluttering on the pier.

The butler arranged to stop as a guy on the boat, approached Ruixi, and talked about such an incident. The housekeeper said that the Ke family is one of the best in the southern country, with hundreds of millions of family assets, but they are respected by the world, and the people who come to the Ke family to do things are either people who really have no way out, or people who have wandered here from other places, as for the reason why they are unwilling to approach the Ke family, it is actually because it is rumored that the ancestors of the Ke family are not human beings. Ruixi asked the housekeeper why he had never heard of this, and the housekeeper said that the Ke family had never circulated this statement, but the housekeeper asked Ruixi if he had never seen the Ke family's genealogy. Ruixi suddenly remembered that in the past, he had never seen a family tree every year, let alone hung a portrait of Gaozu Taizu in the ancestral hall, which was indeed weird enough. When I was young, I thought it was strange, and after asking my father and still didn't know what to do, I stopped asking. By the way, Ruixi remembered that his grandparents, who had died when he was a child, had also left one morning. Perhaps the loss of grandparents was the same as the loss of parents today. In this case, the parents must have hidden something from Ruixi.

The housekeeper said that no one knew where the reason why the world was so respectful of the Ke family and who said it. However, the world looks at the hugely rich Ke family and thinks that it must be an extraordinary ancestral protection, and how can ordinary ancestors have such the ability to protect their children and grandchildren, so the ancestors of the Ke family must be non-human as the rumors say. The housekeeper couldn't explain to Ruixi what the ancestors would be, maybe this in itself was just an inconsequential rumor, and the housekeeper didn't have to mind too much if he called Ruixi. Ruixi stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, not knowing where he would land. The guy who was looking out from the wooden basket at the top of the mast shouted that he saw a big ship due south in front of him, and judging from the flag hoisting, it was the ship of the Ke family. Ruixi let go of the imagination in his heart and looked over there with the housekeeper.

It is indeed the flag of the Ke family, two-sided. One side is the symbol of the Ke family, and the other is actually an out-and-out bandit flag, Ruixi is naturally not surprised. As the two ships approached, it was clear that there was no one on board. The helmsman slowly approached the opposite boat according to Ruixi's request, Ruixi lifted the corner of his robe and wrapped it around his waist, took the hook handed by the sailor in his hand and hooked the opposite side of the ship, and jumped onto the opposite boat with strides, followed by a dozen guys, and the housekeeper followed him despite his old age and infirmity. So many people came over at once, so that the deck was creaking, and some of the men noticed that the deck was old, so they called the owner and the others to pay attention. The housekeeper reminded Ruixi that there was something wrong with the boat, and it was better to retreat to his own boat. Ruixi was also aware of it, but in the end, curiosity prevailed, and he held on to the hook in his hand and tried to take a few steps.

A man pounced on him, bumped him and ran away. The one in the back held a fast sword and chased all the way. Although this person's face was broken, Ruixi still recognized this person at a glance. This person is the Jianghu Ranger who is not too late to say goodbye after the wine banquet at night, how can September be on a ship on the vast sea? Ruixi turned around and called Brother September, who knew that September didn't hear it at all. September didn't kill the fleeing men, but said something to them, and then after another slash at the helm, he turned and left. Ruixi didn't even notice how September left, Ruixi chased closely in the direction of September's departure, and the moment the door of a cabin closed, a thick tail happened to be dragged into the cabin. Ruixi couldn't open the door no matter what, so he shouted for help from the people behind him. only to find that the ship at the bottom of the sea was actually the only thing left. The big boat full of money that I was on is gone! Could it be that the butler led a group of men to take advantage of the fact that he jumped into the ship and drove the ship away? But how can it be so fast? The fog that gathered rapidly around enveloped the otherwise sunny weather, and Ruixi soon couldn't see the distance. The cabin door opened, and the monster he had seen in the study walked out, the fast sword in his hand and the accent he made when he opened his mouth, but it was familiar to Ruixi. It's September, could it be that when I sneaked into the study for no reason to tell Ruixi that it was actually September? How can September be a monster? Could it be that as September said, the fight by the river in the afternoon was just an internal fight between September, who was also a monster, and another monster? Ruixi retreated out of instinct, and the other party did not press, but spit out the same two words: extinguishment. Or those two words, who are they trying to destroy? And who is presiding over this extermination? Ruixi put the hook in front of him, ready to meet the opponent's attack, is the opponent going to destroy Ruixi?

The people on the whole ship were restless, and the hours were quietly changing. The fog still hasn't changed, and the surroundings are still unclear. Some jumped into the sea in panic and were thrown back onto the deck. It seemed that this was to surround and destroy the people of their whole ship, and since the comer was not good, September began to secretly prepare for it, and he arranged for everyone to be near the cabin, so that they could quickly retreat into it in case of accidents. The captain was unwilling to dodge, and waited for about a dozen days and nights, whether it was life or death. The captain was violent but not a martial artist, but even so he held a rod in his hand. In September, when several attempts to persuade the captain to evade did not work, he did not bother to persuade again. Moreover, the persuasion was interrupted before it could begin, and the tremor from the other side of the anchor chain seemed to bring a sound that went straight into their ears. The shaking began to anchor the chain there was, and then the whole hull began to shake. Like the body of the old woman trembling when she was unable to walk and forcibly supported, the big ship began to shake in the mist-shrouded unknown sea.

No one expected to see anything until a plume of smoke shot up into the sky, taking most of the fog with them. After the fog that had shrouded the hull of the ship was torn open, the sea directly in front of the ship appeared, and the roaring sea water rushed in, which seemed to be the cause of the shaking of the anchor chain. Beneath the roaring waters nearby, columns of smoke pierced through the sea and soared into the sky, churning like boiling water. The captain of the ship thought of something at this time, and he shouted to the man to put away the iron anchor and quickly leave the place. The anchor chain shook, but the iron anchor was firmly fixed to the bottom of the sea, and the ship's boss hurriedly swung his mountain-splitting axe and cut down the thick wooden stake that bound the anchor chain. September understands to come over and catch up to help. The guys on the ship are worthy of being experts who are accustomed to following the boss of the ship, and they were still panicking just now, but now they have already been busy, and after changing the sails and rudder, and throwing the heavy iron anchor in the unknown sea, the ship finally gradually moved away in the opposite direction of the smoke column. The Boss told September that he had only heard people say in the past that there were some similar things on this sea and on that land, such as the eruption of fire on this land. Just now, the eruption of the earth fire passed through the sea water, and the sea water behind him could not stop the power of the earth fire, which showed that its power was incomparable. What the boss couldn't understand was how they had come to the sea where earth fire erupted from the bottom of the sea, and no one had ever encountered such a strange thing when they traveled from the ports of China along the coast of Sealand to the kingdom of Martha and Anji. However, if it is connected to the compass failure that happened half a month ago, it can be judged that they are no longer on the planned route. Now that he has avoided the eruption of the earth fire, he can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, after leaving there, the roaring waters seemed to calm down a lot, and at dawn the next day, the men on duty saw the green peaks that appeared at sea level. The land finally appeared.

It was the land that seemed to be not far away, but they could not reach it in September. The ship's voyage was firmly sucked in by the stubborn currents, and after several efforts, the ship could not get close enough, and the boss had to give up. Looking at the mountains that are getting closer and farther away in their sight, sail towards the right hand side where the sun sets. Some of the guys on the boat put down their work and chanted to ask for the blessing of God and Buddha. September drew his sword and swung it and slammed it on the deck, probably resigned to fate. Looking at the sky gradually darkening, September felt that this was a legendary story, but the artists who did not rap told it to everyone in the tea shop and wine shop. The boss told the people to try to fish in the sea, but the drinking water was nowhere to be found, and the people were thirsty, and they did not know how long and what month and year they would sail. Those who had just escaped death fell into a dull state again. The goods carried on the ship are all clothing or spices, and the value is not even something that can be used to satisfy the stomach, let alone alleviate **.

It is not surprising that there is a resemblance between the Miloel that Habibie spoke of and the legend that Karim said of his ancestors from the tribe. That four fingers point to the sky, far away no longer far away, God is there. This is not the first time that Ecovacs has heard of this oracle or verse, and the problem is that different information from different places can be connected at a certain point in the end, and the appearance of this connection makes people feel a kind of fear. In particular, one of the messages in this connection comes from oneself. Ecovacs subconsciously raised his hand and tried to point to the sky, and as dusk was approaching, there was nothing in the sky except a few stars of considerable brightness. This phenomenon of worshipping the stars in the sky as gods is very common in many famous peoples, especially very ancient peoples. It was getting dark so quickly, and Ecovacs asked Habibie, who said that it was probably a bad light in the forest. Ecovacs didn't think so, maybe the dusk he just thought was not actually dusk, and whether the light in the forest was good or not would not affect the brightness of the stars in the sky. He couldn't remember the exact location of the stars in the sky, so he could only draw a few stars on the map where they were.

For the rest of the day, Corvus and the others did not plan to continue their departure, so they rested in the forest. Karim sent someone on duty, and Corbos insisted that Warman rest in the same place as him, and Warman agreed. The night in the forest is not quiet, and if you lie down quietly, you can hear many sounds that cannot be heard during the day, and it is easy to make various associations. Ecovacs's mind was full of questions to think about, but unfortunately none of them could figure it out. What is the fall of Crown called? Is Crown a person, or an object? Falling, is it falling from a height, or is it flying in the air? What happened next after the fall? Habibie said that he saw something strange flying from the top of the mountain, and that the strange thing flying was the so-called Colors? Warman said that probably this Crown is what we call an angel, flying east and west with a circle of light. Ecovacs said that it was impossible, that no language could explain what Korrolls meant, and that it was a simple name, and that it was not at all what it meant or what substance it meant. Corvus joked, Warman, Crown isn't like I'm four fingers, right? He is the god of the locals, who fell from the top of the mountain?
