Chapter 309: Set Sail
The man was dressed in snow-white clothes, carrying a long and heavy black cloth burden on his back, and ran very hard, and when he ran to the bottom of the wooden ladder, he was already out of breath, but he didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and climbed the wooden ladder with both hands and climbed up.
But unexpectedly, he ran in a hurry before, his legs and feet were sore, and after climbing a few steps, he stepped on the air and almost fell from the ladder into the water, but his arm was firmly held by a person.
He raised his head and saw that it was Wei Xiao, smiled, and looked elegant: "Thank you!"
Wei Xiao stared at him, and after a while, he stretched out his hand: "I'll help you up." β
The man caught it, was forcefully led by Wei Xiao, and finally got on the boat.
As soon as he stepped on the deck, he wiped his forehead with his sleeve, thanked Wei Xiao, smiled at Bai Qianyu, and said, "White girl, we finally meet again!"
He smiled brightly and said in a gentle voice, but Bai Qianyu was shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, and said in a dumb voice: "Yes, we finally met again...... Little ink. β
This white-clothed person is Mo Guiyun.
She trembled and stretched out her hand, touched Mo Guiyun's sleeve, and then probed the back of his hand, although it was still cold to the touch, but she knew that he was still a living person, not like the ethereal coldness of a ghost.
In an instant, her eyes were surprised and delighted, mixed with a little bit of incredulity-
"Xiaomo, are you really alive?"
Mo Guiyun smiled softly: "Yes, I'm still alive, you made me a clothed grave, but I said that I am the nemesis of the ghost car, and it can't burn me." β
The sun shone on his face, casting shadows between the wings of his straight nose, making his smile bright and dark.
Bai Qianyu was in a mood for a while, and before he could ask anything more, Jiang Lao Turtle had already shouted at the top of his voice: "Start the boat!"
The wooden ladder next to the ship was slowly retracted, the sails of the three-leaf ship were reversed, and the canvas rose to meet the sea breeze, and in the bright sunshine, the huge sea ship "Dajifune" finally set off at noon.
The boat sailed on the vast sea, farther away from the land, the houses and trees on the shore gradually became a blurred dot, but the sea and the sky became wider and wider, a few gulls and birds flew around the mast, and the golden sun shone on the sea, like gold shining in a little bit.
The sea breeze blows gently, as gentle as a lover's hand.
At this time, Jiang Lao Turtle gathered all the guests on the boat and gathered on the bow of the boat: "Everyone, everyone! Everyone has come to the boat, they are all grasshoppers on the same boat as my Jiang Lao Turtle, this ship is known as the Daji boat, relying on the concerted efforts of the distinguished guests in the past, and working together in the same boat, so as to ensure that there is no danger and a safe trip!"
He pinched his throat and pretended to finish the opening remarks, but then he turned to the topic: "Everyone has paid enough tickets before, this ferry ticket, including food, accommodation, drink, and even useful, my Jiang Lao Turtle never treats distinguished guests badly, and when you get on my boat, you can get the best treatment, and the guests on other ships are envious!"
He cleared his throat, smoothed the phlegm that did not exist in his throat, and continued: "My big boat is divided into two floors, the first floor is a large shop, and the people who live in the sea live ......."
Bai Qianyu was puzzled: "What is a sea begger?"
Zhu Yi, the fat man with a shiny face, happened to be standing next to her, and said, "It's the person who begs for a living at sea." β
Bai Qianyu nodded, and listened to Jiang Laojiao continue: "The second floor is a VIP cabin, all of which are single rooms, with good enclosure, complete materials, and comfortable appliances, especially suitable for long-distance sea travel......"
Lao Lu hugged his arms and sneered at Chang Zhugan and Zhu Fatzi beside him, and said, "He's going to talk about the key points now!"
Seeing Jiang Laojiao, he smiled and said: "There are seven VIP cabins in total, the first one directly in front of the bow is the first class and the best cabin, which is larger and more spacious than the other six, not only the furnishings are the best, but also in the direction of the bow and the door, the big windows are opened, so that you can go to the sea to enjoy the scenery, everyone!"
Jiang Lao Turtle paused, and accentuated his tone: "There are not many opportunities to go to sea on the old turtle's Daji boat, and the scenery of the deep sea is even different from what you see in the offshore sea now. The red shark and the crossfish, as well as the butterfly of the East China Sea that is as big as a kite, if you are lucky, you can also see the ancient divine beast water unicorn that is hidden under the sea for tens of thousands of miles and floats up to exhale, and the sea scene is even more ever-changing, and the magnificence is unimaginable.
He paused again, and when he saw that everyone stopped whispering, their eyes fell on him, and then he said word for word: "This first-class cabin will be auctioned, and the one with the highest price will win!"
He stood in the center with splattering saliva and spittle, while the crowd of onlookers were whispering.
Among the three gold diggers with thousands of dollars, Lao Lu and Chang Bamboo Pole have the most experience in going to sea, but Zhu Fatzi has only been added in recent years, and he couldn't help but move when he heard the words: "I heard that Jingwei Bird is a female doll, she swam in the sea one day, drowned and did not return, so she became a white-billed and red-footed bird, often holding wood and stone to reclaim the sea, wanting to level the sea?"
Lao Lu shook his head, and said with a plain face: "That's just a legend, now as long as the boat is driven to the sea eight thousand miles away, you can see flocks of Jingwei birds, they don't pick up wood and stone reclamation now, but like to fall on the bow of the boat to pick up the gold rings, earrings, wrenches or something dropped by people and throw them into the sea, probably they think those things are more beautiful, and it is more fun to throw them into the sea, and they have long forgotten what their ancestors are going to do when they throw wood and stones into the sea." β
glanced at Zhu Fatzi's hand and quipped: "The jade wrench in your hand that is as bright as a drop of water, they probably like it the most, and they will probably come with you to grab it!"
Zhu Fatzi subconsciously hurriedly hid his thumb into his sleeve, and said: "Even if this bird has lost its former demeanor now, there is nothing to see, then it is good to look at the kite-sized butterfly in the East China Sea, I usually see children flying butterfly kites to the sky in spring, I often think that if the kite becomes a living butterfly, so big, flying among the clouds, I don't know how beautiful it is, now I have a chance!"
As he spoke, his face was full of joy and yearning.
Chang Zhugan interrupted coldly beside him: "The butterfly in the East China Sea is gone now, Jiang Lao Turtle is you!"
Zhu Fatzi was puzzled: "How can it be gone?"
Chang Zhugan said: "The butterfly thing has always been useless, so no one cares about it." But the East China Sea butterfly is different, not only is it born with colorful wings, it is extremely beautiful to reflect the sunlight and translucent, attracting countless idlers to watch, and most importantly, its taste is beautiful!"
He subconsciously licked his lips: "That butterfly is so big, it shot down with a spear gun with a rope on the sea, landed not far from the bow of the boat, and then dragged the rope by a few big men to pick it up, removed the wings and whiskers, it is still enough to be about eighty catties, roasted and eaten, and the taste is a hundred times better than what kind of pork, mutton and rat meat roasted on the land! β
His words, like a bucket of cold water poured straight down from the top of Zhu Fatman's head, Shengsheng turned his dream of seeing the beautiful scenery into bubbles, Zhu Fatman's face was like earth, and his two eyes stared at Chang Zhuzhu, and said: "Brother Chang, tell me honestly, have you ever eaten that butterfly?"
Chang Zhugan said honestly: "Not only have I eaten it, but even Lao Lu has eaten it," and pointed his eyes at Lao Lu: "I don't believe you asked Lao Lu." β
Zhu Fatzi turned his head to look at Lao Lu, and Lao Lu nodded slightly.
The disappointment in Zhu Fatzi's eyes was even stronger, and he said in a loud voice: "That...... What kind of red sharks, crossfish, and water unicorns have all been caught and eaten by you, or you can't see them?"
Chang Zhugan said slowly: "That's not necessarily, for example, the ancient divine beast Water Qilin is an extremely powerful creature with extremely powerful demonic power, which can control water, where can you dare to eat it?" β
With a glimmer of hope in his eyes, Zhu Fatzi said, "Thatβthat's still visible?"
Chang Zhugan smiled indifferently: "When we see this kind of demon beast on the water, it is not the life of eating it, but the life of being eaten by it, I just hate to run fast enough and not run away enough, where do we dare to look back at it?"
Zhu Fatzi heard the last trace of fire in his eyes "sizzle" and extinguished, and suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
Suddenly, I heard Lao Lu say slowly: "Chang Zhugan, you don't want to hit Zhu Fatzi, he debuted late, he has some fresh thoughts, and he is very ...... to going to sea" stroked the jade jade wrench on his hand and said: " This sea is not all without sight, such as the sea smoke, I heard that when the sea rises, the whole sea and sky are filled into a piece, looking like layers of light veil, the sun, the glow, through the sea smoke shines down, the shadow is enough, like the fairy palace, the most peculiar thing is that if the smoke does not disperse by itself, the ship enters the sea smoke, and he can't find his way out,ββ this, I really want to see it. β
The three people here were talking happily, and Bai Qianyu was also whispering to Wei Xiao: "This Jiang Lao turtle is too greedy, the six hundred taels of silver that he negotiated with us before went to sea, he released the news himself, and suddenly attracted so many passengers, and the money has been doubled and doubled, but he is not satisfied, he got on the ship, and wanted to hold a first-class auction and make another profit!"
"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer," Wei Xiao smiled: "His auction is not difficult for a strong man, someone is willing to bid, he can do it, he earns his money, but it is barely in line with the principle of 'a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way'." β
Bai Qianyu immediately looked at him vigilantly: "Wei Xiao, you don't want to make a hand, right?"
Wei Xiao asked rhetorically: "Don't you want a big and spacious room for the four of us, not only the best furnishings in it, but also two large windows and a big room with a sea view?"
Bai Qianyu was still wrinkling his eyebrows and thinking, and Clover had already slapped his face and said, "Yes, yes!"
The little fox also learned to babble under its feet: "Yes, yes!"
Bai Qianyu was worried: "Wei Xiao, you just promised not to gamble......"
Suddenly, a person behind him said lightly: "Auction and gambling money are two different things." β
Wei Xiao suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound, only to see that behind him and Bai Qianyu, there was a person standing at some point, wearing a blue and black straight-knit cloth shirt, wearing a hat on his head, his eyes were introverted, and his hands were on his sleeves, and he was also mixed in the crowd of boat passengers to watch Jiang Lao turtle engage in auctions.
It was the first dealer of the Changle Gambling House before, Ning Wuxi.
"Brother Ning is here too?" Wei Xiao was slightly surprised and said hello.
Ning Wuxian was not as restrained as he was in the gambling house before, he took off his identity as a dealer, smiled kindly, and made a gesture: "I have been in the workshop for a long time, and I am very depressed, so I want to go to sea to relax, and I don't want to meet Brother Wei!"
The smile on his face was still maintained, and he added lightly: "It's really a narrow road." β
Wei Xiao knew that he still held a grudge in his heart and won him by gambling money, and yesterday's posture was almost no different from kicking the gym, and it was rare that he could still maintain a peaceful smile on his face, which was not easy.
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that the posterior molars have been smoothed out at this moment.
He probably didn't want to mention this heartbroken matter, so Wei Xiao changed the topic: "Listening to Brother Ning's tone, you are also very interested in this first-class cabin?"
Ning Wuxian still kept a smile and said lightly: "If Brother Wei is interested, Ning will naturally be interested. β
The meaning of this sentence is very simple and clear, in other words-
Wei Xiao, since you won me in the matter of gambling money, then whatever I say, I will make up for it from the auction.
