【Chapter 30】The Captain
It took a while for Yu Moji to react to the meaning of Yi Xiaojiao.
Her face was silent, but her heart was relieved that her situation was not as dangerous as she had imagined. She did break the oath she had made to Wei Ye Alcohol, but Wei Ye Alcohol did not intend to murder her because of this.
Yu Moji pulled his hair a little embarrassed.
It's probably because the experience on the Jiangshan boat is too terrifying, and her mind has not recovered from that extremely flustered state now, so she thinks of Wei Yeol so cruelly.
Seeing that she was silent, Yi Xiaocheng explained again, "Don't think about it too much. Mr. Wei said, although you came at the wrong time, he also knew that it was not your intention. ”
Her tone of voice is calm and calm, and there is no resemblance to the image of the female ghost on the river and mountain ship in the past.
Yu Moji sighed with emotion and nodded. Although she didn't have any trust in Yi Xiaocheng, she could hear that this was indeed something that Wei Ye would say.
In order to prevent his son on the high branch from losing his identity, Wei Yeol has always been careful to guard against the ink marks, so he often has some special interests in her private affairs. Since this is the case, he should have the ability to investigate clearly, Yu Mojian came to Linhai County by coincidence, so he only asked Yi Xiaoji to give her a warning.
Yu Moji didn't know what the reason for Yi Xiaocheng actually left the Jiangshan ship despite the ban of the imperial court and came to the Wei family's merchant ship to work as a ship guard. However, because of this relationship, Yu Moji can also imagine that with the strength shown by the Wei family's people when they investigated Yu Moji in the past, Yi Xiaoji almost sold Yu Moji from the Jiangshan boat to the flower building some time ago, and I am afraid that he can't hide it from the Wei family.
The warning conveyed by Yi Xiaoji is not so terrifying in itself, but because it is she who is the one who brought the words, for Yu Moji, this is really deafening.
This is probably the effect that Wei Ye Alcohol hopes to achieve - who let Yu Moji break the oath worth 20,000 yuan by chance?
After Yi Xiaocheng brought this warning, he didn't feel too embarrassed about the ink marks along the way.
Only when Feilu traces the wind and stops at the ports along the way, Yi Xiaocheng will give her a special "care" - Yu Moji occasionally goes for a walk on land, and Yi Xiaoji will always find an excuse to send a few skilled craftsmen and sailors to follow, and he has to accompany Yu Moji all the way back to the ship.
Yi Xiaoji is a very open person in this regard, she made it clear to Yu Mochen that this was told by Wei Yechen, in order to prevent Yu Mochen from running back to harass Wei Linyuan halfway.
Later, the boat traveled to a place far away from Linhai County, and Yi Xiaocheng saw that Yu Moji did not mean to run away halfway, so he didn't have much to do.
On the one hand, it was because Yi Xiaocheng didn't feel the need to stare at Yu Moji anymore, and on the other hand, it was also because she didn't plan to trouble those sailors who rarely got ashore and had an easy time.
Yi Xiaocheng got along well with the sailors, and knew that they were deliberately avoiding the ink marks. The ship was very lonely on the long journey, so the sailors were especially fond of the excitement. For them, the cautious ink marks seemed too silent and difficult to get along with, and traveling with her was really a very embarrassing torture.
At the same time, the sailors themselves had more important things to do.
They were all people who had come in the wind and waves, and they were quite disgusted by the lack of food on the ship, and every time they had the opportunity to go ashore, they had to sneak some fresh ingredients back. Following Yu Moji every time is equivalent to giving up this idea. Once the sailors are disappointed, it is normal for them to dislike the ink marks even more.
In fact, Yu Moji just doesn't like to mix with strangers.
She thought in her heart that the sailors were quite cute, and she didn't quite agree with the rules of eating and drinking on the ship, so although she had long been aware of the various extra supplies in the galley that should not have appeared every time the ship stopped, she never revealed it.
She wasn't a long-sleeved dancer, so she never explained that. Anyway, now that no one is following her anymore, Yu Moji is happy to be free.
She herself cherishes the opportunity to go ashore and is happy to walk around alone. After all, she is really bored in Feilu Tracing the Wind.
Especially when she was working in the bilge, she always avoided her because she had a grudge against Yi Xiao's past behavior in her heart. If it weren't for the desire to explore more in the bilge of this treasure trove full of Yanji, Yu Moji would have run away a long time ago—when she saw Yi Xiaoji present, she always felt that there was a pair of haunted eyes staring at her. This really made Yu Moji very uncomfortable.
However, all the troubles that Yu Moji has experienced have been clearly taught to her that trouble is coming, and it is useless to escape.
For example, there is a kind of thing, although it happened to Yi Xiaocheng, it always made Yu Moji feel like he was stuck in his throat, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to take care of it.
On the Feilu tracing the wind, except for the ink marks, I am afraid that no one knows where Yi Xiaowei came from, and no one has seen her cruel and vicious side. The sailors and shipwrights only knew that this petite woman was not only very capable, but also delicate and easy-going, and never relied on her position as a ship's escort to make a fortune, but was willing to drink and talk with them.
This is not a bad thing, sometimes Yu Moji sees it, and he is also very envious of Yi Xiaojiao's ability to practice human feelings.
It's just that after a long time, the men on the boat will often make some ambiguous "jokes" with Yi Xiaofang.
With her limited knowledge, Yu Mochen could also hear that those "jokes" were both shameless and scoundrel, so when she encountered such a situation, she usually avoided it as far away as possible.
If her mother were alive, she would probably have shown a rare smile of relief when she saw this scene. The "ladylike" education that she tried her best to instill in Yu Moji when she was alive seems to have finally played a role.
Only Yu Mochen herself knows that she used to reject her mother's cowardly and gentle temperament, and now she is tired of the "jokes" of sailors and boatmen, all for the same reason.
She didn't want to be like her mother, being nailed to death by all kinds of nonsensical rules imposed on women by the entire Great Qi Empire, and she had only a weak quality that matched the eyes of others, and she couldn't live without her father and husband; She doesn't want to be treated as a plaything by these men.
It took so much effort for her to gradually take control of her life, how could she be casually downgraded by others?
Yi Xiaowei was different, her reaction was almost in line with the most perfect situation that men could imagine - she drank very well, and her wine was good, and when she encountered "jokes", she was not ashamed at all. When she can reveal the past, of course she will try her best to reveal it, but others insist on taking advantage of her, and she has no objection.
Of course, Yi Xiaocheng did not allow it—but in the eyes of these men, there was no difference between silence and acquiescence.
Yi Xiaowei also made a little resistance, but the main effect of this rebellion was to make her more sultry. Sometimes the men are really bullied tightly, and Yi Xiaogang will use jokes that are not inferior to each other to ridicule each other, making everyone happy. Anyway, she always has the ability to "get out of the way" - touching someone's thighs and pinching a thin waist is not a big deal, and the two sides have secretly exchanged hands, and they don't mention it on the surface, so it can be regarded as if it didn't happen.
Her bottom line is obviously much lower than the ink marks.
Sailors and boatmen praised Yi Xiaowei for being sensible, tasty, and open-minded. It's just that Yu Moji, who doesn't have any good feelings for Yi Xiaoji, has always been very unhappy for her in his heart.
Yu Mozhen never delved into whether her smile when she was "joking" was sincere.
What she can't get used to is the "jokes" themselves.
In Yu Moji's opinion, even though Yi Xiaocheng was born in a river, her ability is far more than that of these sailors who sell their physical strength to make a living. Why would such a woman, whose talent is not inferior to that of a man, have to bear such an insult with such a sweet and greasy smile?
Taking a step back, even if they are not on a serious merchant ship like Feilu Sufeng at this moment, but in a ship that hides dirt and dirt, do these men have the right to treat Yi Xiaowei as a thing?
In Yu Moji's concept, whether it is a special flower boat that is free from the national law, or a variety of government-run and private prostitution houses in the Great Qi Empire, even if the girls in it are engaged in laughter, when they are not employed, they are also worthy of respect as human beings.
However, although Yu Moji has a very clear attitude, she also knows that her abilities are limited, so she is never an eventful person; At the same time, she has a lot of inferiority complex and cowardice in her heart, and these almost innate traits often prevent her from doing what she wants.
Unless something touches her bottom line again and again, there will be a time for the ink marks to explode.
Finally, one time there was a sailor on the ship who secretly got drunk, and relied on the wine to make people brave, and at the end of dinner, he actually bullied him into the bilge where Yi Xiaofang was doing business.
There is only one steward on the ship, and there is only one pair of eyes, and there will always be times when they can't stare. The boatmen never let go of the opportunity to be lazy, and at this time after dinner, they will take care of the Yanji seriously in the bilge, only Yi Xiaojiao, who is a ship guard, and Yu Moji, who has endless curiosity about the Yanji.
Obviously, due to Yu Moji's deliberate avoidance, even though the two of them were in the same cabin, they didn't mess together, they just did their own thing.
In the sailor's view, this situation, in which only two women who were not very close to each other were present, was obviously a unique opportunity.
An opportunity to commit some kind of ambiguous crime.
The bilge is full of complex structures, with little room for movement and limited vision. So when the drunken sailor came in, Yu Moji couldn't find him in the first place.
By the time the eyes and nose of Yu Moji finally unified their directions, and finally captured the figure of the sailor, the sailor had already touched Yi Xiao's body.
