【Chapter 29】Female ghosts

Since the father and daughter of the patrol press are going to meet Wei Linyuan together, Wei Linyuan does not need to allocate many manpower to take care of the female dependents. Yu Moji, who temporarily served as a maid, relieved herself of this important responsibility and continued to go to the study that Wei Linyuan found for her.

Even though Yu Mochen didn't have any special feelings for Wei Linyuan, she was also very self-aware to avoid suspicion, and Wei Yezhu's previous gambling contract with her was still in her ears, so she never went to Wei Linyuan's mansion to disturb her again.

After recuperating for some time, Yu Moji's physical strength and spirit had gradually recovered, and he realized that it was time to leave.

Wei Linyuan couldn't spare time to accept her farewell.

As Wei Linyuan said before, his father, who was originally mourning far away, had rushed over thousands of miles away, and when his in-laws met, there were things to do, and there were many people who shouldn't have appeared.

Yu Moji was as good as a stream, silently accepted the luggage that Wei Linyuan sent someone to prepare for her in his busy schedule, and got on the merchant ship sent by the Wei family to the imperial capital.

It was a ship powered by Chitose Gold, and it was called Feilu Tracing the Wind. The bow smoke house is towering, and the steam smoke cloud is spewing out, flying like a dragon, so not spectacular.

Yu Mochen didn't want to accept such a big favor from Wei Linyuan in vain, and heard that the merchant ship he was going to take turned out to be Feilu Tracing the Wind, so he immediately went to Wei Linyuan through his subordinates, and received a position as a ship escort, responsible for helping the ship guard overhaul the machine and pay for the ship's expenses.

Although this job will be very hard, it is also a good opportunity to practice Yanshu ingenuity and learn how to operate Yanji, and I have an appetite for Yu Moji. Especially for a steamship of this scale in Feilu Sufeng, Yu Moji had only seen it on the map before, but this was the first time he had seen the real thing, and he was very excited.

However, most of the structure of the Yanji of Feilu Tracing the Wind is in the bilge, and the time when the ink marks pass by the Jiangshan ship, it is really a shadow on the bilge, and he stood on the deck silently for a while before he mustered up the courage to go to the bottom cabin.

As soon as she walked in, she immediately regretted it.

If she hadn't been delayed on the deck for too long, Feilu Sufeng had already left the shore too far, and Yu Moji would have directly chosen to jump down.

Because between the roaring large machines, Gu Panshen flew to direct a few skillful workers to rush back and forth, and it turned out to be the petite female ghost who could make people have nightmares when she stretched out her feet.

The coquettish outfit of the female ghost on the river boat is gone. She changed into a short-sleeved shirt that made it easy to move, and the makeup on her face had already been washed off. It's just that the temperature near the running Yanji is very high, so the female ghost's cheeks show a strange red, adding a little bright color.

She's different from head to toe.

But such a demon who abused a girl in a cabin for dozens of days, Yu Moji would not admit his mistake.

When the female ghost saw Yu Moji coming in, she didn't have any surprised expression on her face, just like treating every skillful worker around her, and said to Yu Moji quickly, "The newcomer will go and check the pipeline first." ”

When Yu Moji first recognized the female ghost, he was only frightened, but now, that fear has been replaced by anger.

Yu Mochen shouted angrily, "Why are you here? ”

"I'm the ship's escort." The female ghost replied calmly, and a pair of very bright eyes looked directly at the ink marks without concealment.

When Yu Moji heard this, he was so shocked that he froze immediately, but he heard the female ghost answer, "Are you a new craftsman?" Will you work? ”

There were busy craftsmen walking around on the side, and Yu Moji was inconvenient, so he had to suppress a wave of anger, pick a boiler farthest away from the female ghost, and follow the example of the craftsman on the side, and put all his strength and heart into the work at hand.

If it hadn't been for that, she would have collapsed at that time.

On the first day of work, Yu Moji was not as familiar with the ship's machine as a veteran, so he could only start with the simplest inspection of the machine parts and adding fuel. These tasks are mind-free, but physically demanding.

Her strength had just recovered, and she had been working like this all day, and when she changed shifts, she was so tired that she could barely move.

In fact, this is also what she deliberately does.

She was only afraid that if she still had a little physical strength left, she would be unable to control herself and pounce on the female ghost.

After all, this is the Wei family's ship, Yu Moji has inherited too much favor from Wei Linyuan, no matter what, he can't cause trouble to others, so he can only force himself to swallow the hatred in his heart temporarily.

The encounter on the Jiangshan ship was too terrifying, and the cramped and dark cabin was too easy to evoke the painful memories of Yu Moji, so she had to lie alone on the deck, staring at the starry sky in a daze, letting the wind blow her black hair all over her head.

However, escaping is never the solution to trouble, because trouble will find itself on its own.

In the hunting river wind, a woman with long hair covering half of her face and a long skirt covering her feet, Shi Shiran walked towards Yu Moji with beautiful steps.

It's that female ghost.

At this moment, she actually changed into a ladylike posture again.

Yu Moji sat up abruptly and said angrily, "You ......"

"I have a name," the female ghost stopped her steps, sat down slowly, and said in a manly voice, "My name is Yi Xiaojiao." ”

Yu Mochen didn't expect that when there were only the two of them, the first thing the female ghost said was to introduce her name.

Only people will have names.

The surname represents the long-standing bloodline, and the name carries the expectations of the relatives and elders. A person's name is the beginning of his connection with everyone else in this world; And this connection is the absolute premise of becoming a "person".

Yu Moji never regarded her as a human, only as an evil ghost.

So she never thought about who this female ghost was.

Now everything has changed.

As terrifying as the demon is, fear has never stopped her from taking action. So in front of the evil ghosts, as long as the ink marks have power and methods, no matter how afraid she is, she will never let the other party go.

For example, when she saw this female ghost again, Yu Moji almost wanted to send her back to hell with her own hands.

However, Yi Xiaowei can also be a person.

Not only does she have a human name, but she also has human feelings, and she can laugh with the craftsmen; She also has human brains, and has the ability to control all the planes on the entire Feilu Trace, escorting this merchant ship that is almost as valuable as the cargo.

There is no way to hurt a living person.

She could only use what little strength she had left, and made a vicious appearance and glared at Yi Xiaofang.

At this time, Yu Mochen suddenly understood why Yi Xiaoji always had an indifferent, disgusted, and pig-like expression towards the girls who were imprisoned on the Jiangshan boat.

If Yi Xiaocheng wants to maintain the work of the man's abduction, I am afraid that he can only treat the girls as goods and pigs, and can only refuse to treat them as people.

Otherwise, how can her conscience get by?

Although Yi Xiaoji's behavior is despised, isn't it the same as the way Yu Moji looks at Yi Xiaojiao?

Thinking of this, Yu Moji's viciousness that he tried to pretend to be couldn't help but weaken a little in his momentum.

Yi Xiaocheng looked at Yu Moji at the moment, like looking at a ridiculous chick trying to blow up its feathers to be strong; But the eyes were gentle and helpless, and he still treated her as a person after all, "Don't be so nervous, this is not my ship, I won't do anything to you." ”

Yu Moji suddenly said, "What is your surname?" ”

Yi Xiaowei smiled, with a little sadness in his smile, completely missing the appearance of being a carver on the river and mountain ship in the past, and no longer calming and relaxing between the countless boilers and machines in the bilge during the day, "It is the Yi of 'cruising between the rivers and lakes'." ”

"So, you should be a member of the Jiangshan Chuanjiu clan," Yu Mochen could hear that Yi Xiaocheng was hurting herself when she said this, but she still decided to poke the other party's sore spot ruthlessly, "Aren't you unable to leave the Jiayuan River?" Why did you come here to be a ship escort? ”

"After staying in purgatory for a long time, I always have to find a way to go back to the world." Yi Xiaowei sat there, gently hooked the hair that had been blown away by the wind behind his ears, and said lightly, "Mr. Wei invited me here." ”

Yu Moji's eyelids jumped. Wei Linyuan has always been reliable and righteous, what the hell is he doing this time?

Then she heard Yi Xiaoji add again, "It's not Wei Xiaogongzi from Linhai County, it's his father, Mr. Wei, who specially told me to take care of his son's fellow villager Yu girl." ”

Yu Moji sighed. She could guess what was going on.

Before she left Aige, she took Wei Yeol's 20,000 yuan silver ticket, and promised not to provoke Wei Linyuan again. Unexpectedly, due to fate, even if they are thousands of miles apart, the old people will still meet again.

In today's situation, the ink marks are also a last resort; But in any case, it was she who broke the oath she had made.

Yu Moji couldn't help but smile bitterly. But she quickly put away her slightly miserable smile - as if she was afraid that she would waver, she never refused to give up on the little boat.

Yu Moji raised his head and said coldly, "What did Mr. Wei teach you to do?" Could it be that you are here to kill me? ”

Her tone was pretending to be relaxed, but her heart was very nervous. Even though Yi Xiaocheng's image has changed a lot, the various terrifying scenes on the Jiangshan boat still prompt Yu Mojin to still believe that the female ghost in front of him can do anything.

"I said it, don't be so nervous," Yi Xiaogong said a little helplessly, "Why do you have to think about things like this?" Can't I just be a ship escort when I come to this ship? I finally came to the world, why am I still regarded as a water ghost? ”

Yi Xiaojiao's string of words seemed to be asking about Yu Moji, and it seemed to be talking to himself. The wind of the river constantly curled the tips of Yi Xiao's hair and skirt in the direction of the river, making her more and more involuntary sadness.

The more Yu Moji listened, the angrier he became.

"It doesn't matter where you are," Yu Mojin blurted out, "the sins you have done will not be erased, they must be punished......

She wanted to say that sin can only be dissolved by punishment. But when the sin is punished, can the wounds suffered by those who were deceived by this sin really be dissolved?

Yi Xiaocheng said sadly, "I know what you mean. But haven't we been punished enough? If the ancestors do one thing wrong, their children and grandchildren will be water ghosts, what is the reason? ”

Yu Moji was stunned.

The nine clans committed the great crime of rebellion, and the people of Qi imprisoned them on the Jiayuan River for generations, forcing them to make a living by doing some unsightly work, and in the end, it was the people of Qi themselves who were harmed.

What is the point of such a punishment?

Yi Xiaocheng was silent for a while, and said, "You guessed not all wrong, Mr. Wei hired me, although it was to escort this Feilu Tracing the wind, but his old man did tell me to personally tell you to leave." ”

Yu Moji's face was full of suspicion, "'Leave'? These two words can mean a lot of scary meanings.

"I don't mean anything else," Yi Xiaocheng sighed, and said, "If you want to go to the imperial capital, it doesn't matter; Anyway, Mr. Wei just wants you to leave Linhai County far away, the farther the better. ”
