In a trance, Zhao Jian seemed to be in the middle of the sea, and his body was floating in the icy water. My mind was also muddy, and I couldn't even concentrate a little, and it felt like I was in a dream.

There are blurry images flashing in front of me, some of them look like people, but they are quite strange in shape, tall like monsters, thin like monkeys. Some of them are like big scenes like wars, but the clouds and mountains can't see who is fighting whom, in short, these messy pictures make Zhao Jian's thinking very confused.

I don't know how long it took, but the heavy and stiff body finally felt something, and the warmth gradually spread from the ends of the limbs to the main trunk of the body, and the consciousness began to show signs of recovery, and the thinking became clearer and clearer. Finally! Zhao Jian felt his heartbeat again, struggling to wake up from this abyss-like dream.

"Hmm......"

Suddenly opened his eyes, Zhao Jian found himself in a hospital room, with a drip hanging on his right hand, and the electric fan above his head rotated slowly, stirring the heat flow in the room. In addition to a little numbness in his body, Zhao Jian felt very energetic, and he didn't have the dull feeling of just sleeping "big head", but he was a little uncomfortable when he was hungry.

"Xiaoling, I'm hungry!"

Habitually opened his mouth to call Hongling, but after opening his mouth and shouting for a while, Zhao Jian realized that he was not at home. However, as soon as he finished shouting, a group of people pushed the door and squeezed in, and Qin Heng, who was the leader, immediately cried with joy when he saw that he was awake.

"Young Master, you're awake! If you have any three long and two short, I ...... I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Zhao family! ”

"Uncle Qin, I'm hungry, get me something to eat!"

"Good, good, good! You wait, I'll make porridge, right away! ”

As soon as he heard that Zhao Jian wanted to eat, Qin Heng immediately wiped his tears, got up and ran out quickly. Zhao Jian looked around and found that the people who came with him this time were all here, even Singh's "leading party" was not left behind, and his black face in the crowd was super eye-catching. Being looked at by a group of people with concerned eyes, Zhao Jian couldn't help but feel a little moved.

While exploring the wreckage of the Lützov, the Zhao ship was unfortunately attacked by an unknown creature. As witnesses, Dirui and Wangcai had no idea what the monster was, and Diri accidentally kicked the only remaining head into the lava, so that when they carried the unconscious Zhao out of the cabin, the two had no evidence to prove their innocence.

Fortunately, Qin Heng, who was present at the time, calmed the scene in time and led everyone to rush back to the port to send Zhao Jian for medical treatment. However, the British doctors in Tanga Harbor could not see what the cause of Zhao Jian's coma was, so they could only hang drips and feed Zhao Jian liquid food to maintain his life according to the way of vegetative treatment, and then pinned their hopes on a "miracle" to happen...... It turned out that a miracle really happened!

"Uncle Di, how long have I been asleep?"

"Exactly 2 weeks." Diri counted the days and replied truthfully.

"What? It's been 2 weeks! ”

As soon as he heard that he had been asleep for two weeks, Zhao Jian sat up from the hospital bed. The building outside the window let him know that he was still in Africa, and that there was less than a week left before the deadline for him to pay him back.

"Hurry, hurry! Let's hurry home. If you don't hurry, it's too late! ”

In this era, the cross-border remittance business is far less developed than in the 21st century, and Zhao Jian now only has hard goods such as diamonds, which need to be cashed in before he can use them to repay his debts. Although there were also black merchants who collected diamonds in the colonies, they were generally in collusion with the British colonial government, not to mention the extremely low prices, and often engaged in "black eating black".

When Zhao Jian was still in a coma before, Qin Heng didn't think about taking him back to China directly, or asking someone to bring diamonds back to pay off his debts first, but Zuihou didn't take action. After all, Zhao Jian's situation looked very bad at that time, and Qin Heng didn't want to leave Zhao Jian, but he didn't dare to entrust the diamond to others, so he just dragged it out until now.

Fortunately, during this period, Qin Heng has been sending telegrams to China, saying that they have already gotten the money and it is not a problem to repay the debt. And now that Zhao Jian has woken up, if it is only a day or two late, the tea garden should still be able to be saved...... Probably?

Time is the tea plantation! Zhao Jian didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered everyone to pack up their things and prepare to return to China, and then quickly got up and dressed. What made him feel a little strange was that he had been lying down for two weeks, but his body was not as weak as he imagined. But in a hurry, he couldn't think about it so much at this time.

Specially told Di Rui and Wangcai not to tell the things in the secret room, Zhao Jian and his party rushed out of the hospital under the surprised eyes of the doctor and nurse. Qin Heng extended the lease period of the high-speed freighter just in case, so the Hengtong did not leave, and at the same time, he was ready to set sail at any time, as long as Zhao Jianren woke up, he would return to China immediately.

The 500 guns he brought with him were all replaced with diamonds, more than 100 large and small, and at the same time, he also got a damaged high-level divine core and a mysterious notebook. If it weren't for Zuihou's "accident", he could have walked more calmly and chicly.

When boarding the ship, Zhao Jian found that Singh was standing on the dock looking at them blankly, so he remembered what he had promised the other party, so Zhao Jian asked for a revolver from Di Rui, and asked Qin Heng for a few diamonds, which were given to the other party. But Singh looked at it and didn't answer, but asked Zhao Jian anxiously.

"Boss, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree."

"What request?"

"Can you take me to the Tang Kingdom? I want to keep following you. ”

Hearing Singh's request, Zhao Jian couldn't help but pause. The heart said that this should be the first "little brother" who took the initiative to take refuge in himself. Although it's a pity that he is not a sister, if he has the heart to continue to develop the African "business" in the future, it is not impossible to keep the other party. After figuring out this joint, Zhao Jian turned his head at Singh.

"Come on, it shouldn't be a problem to get you a foreign hukou."

"Boss Xiexie!"

In the eyes of these arrogant colonists, the local blacks are probably no different from two-legged animals, and Zhao Jian, who is a merchant of the Tang Dynasty, does not say that he takes one, even if he takes away a boat, it is nothing more than a "price" problem.

After all the crew boarded the ship, Zhao Jian asked the captain to drive at full speed, and if the other party could send him back to Qingdao within 6 days, he was willing to give the other party 5 diamonds in return. When the captain heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered the first mate to quickly bring the "speed-up catalyst", and after a while, he took an iron box and came back. Zhao Jian was curious and took a look, and found that it was all snacks.

"Captain, what is this for?"

"This is for Hengtong, and the little guy's favorite thing is the chocolate flavor."

"Can you speed it up with this?" Zhao Jian looked incredulous.

"The speed of the ship requires the outbreak of the heavenly maiden, which is just like a person, only when you are full can you have the spirit to work. Not only are we prosperous, but ships with divine cores in other countries will prepare special cooks for the Celestial Maiden, and these girls are mouthful! ”

"I'm up again!"

The captain walked towards Hengtong with a large box of snacks, and when the other party saw the delicious food coming, he immediately smiled and dangled happily, and then squinted his eyes and opened his mouth wide coquettishly. The captain gently put a small piece of cake into it, and the little one chewed on the delicious food, and his face was full of happiness.

"Captain, captain, can I feed her too?"

Zhao Jian saw that he was hunting, and he also wanted to try the feeling of feeding this cute thing, and the captain thought that a beautiful boy on the other side should be more pleasing than his bearded uncle, so he stuffed all the snack boxes to Zhao Jian. Zhao Jian one by one, and quickly fed most of the box. He found that Hengtong would suck his fingers every time he ate, and sometimes his hands would be pumped too fast, and the other party would stretch his neck to reach it, as if his fingers were more delicious than snacks.

"Young Master Zhao, it seems that Hengtong likes you very much!"

"I also like this little guy a lot, I fed her for a long time, and even I was hungry."

"Then you can eat the rest! Feeding her that should be enough, and if she eats more, she will have to sleep on her stomach. ”

After feeding most of the boxes of pastries, Xiao Hengtong looked radiant, as if he was about to radiate brilliance. Then the captain made a "fast running" posture in front of her, Xiao Hengtong nodded, puffed out his cheeks and looked hard, Zhao Jian suddenly felt a vibration from the cargo ship under his feet, and the speed quickly increased!
