Chapter 2 Disembarkation
After receiving Lin Yan's elixir, he felt that his body was recovering well after taking it, and he was undoubtedly convinced of Lin Yan's identity as a pharmacist, Chu Chu's attitude towards Lin Yan had greatly improved, and he taught him more attentively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info A month has passed, and Lin Yan has been able to have a simple communication with Chu Chu.
"Lin Yan, after you go ashore, you try not to contact outsiders, if there is anything I will do for you, let alone let people know your identity as a pharmacist, remember?"
"Remember, shopkeeper Chu (that's what Chu Chu called him)."
"Don't worry, follow me, I won't treat you badly."
Lin Yan nodded and did not speak.
"Lin Yan, do you have any dealings with the Xuanwu Continent's Xuan family?"
"Nope. Why did the shopkeeper Chu ask so? ”
"The Xuan family is the true master of the Xuanwu Continent, and only people in their family are worthy of using the Xuanwu Turtle. Of course, if someone has been of great help to their family, they will also give them a basalt turtle. I see you have a basalt turtle, that's why I asked. ”
"My basalt turtle is wild, it doesn't belong to the Xuan family, it was I met occasionally, and the two sides fell in love, so they were together."
"Even so, if we see the shadow of the mainland, it is more appropriate to swim over, and the basalt turtle is not suitable for appearing, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"I understand what Shopkeeper Chu means, so do as you say."
Chu Chu glanced at Lin Yan approvingly.
Seven days later, looking into the distance, they saw a faint blackness, "See, we finally see the land." Chu Chu lost his former calmness and had a temporary indulgence.
"Shopkeeper Chu, should we swim over now, or wait a little closer and swim over?"
Chu Chu thought for a while and said, "Let's swim over now." The closer we get to land, the better the chance of the turtle being spotted, and we can't afford to take the risk. ”
"Okay. After I said goodbye to the basalt turtle, we went to sea. He said. Lin Yan patted the Xuanwu turtle's neck, took out a pot of "monkey wine" from his arms and poured it into the mouth of the Xuanwu turtle, and said softly: "Brother turtle, thank you for sending you all the way, we are destined to see you again, you have to take care!" ”
The Xuanwu turtle rubbed Lin Yan's face with his head. Express your gratitude to him: Without Lin Yan, it would not have been able to return home.
"Let's go." Lin Yan jumped into the sea first and swam in the direction of landing. Chu Chu hurriedly followed.
The basalt turtle stayed there motionless and watched them go away, until Lin Yan's figure disappeared completely, and then it dived into the sea and swam towards the home in its memory.
Catching up with Lin Yan, Chu Chu asked, "Lin Yan, what did you feed the Xuanwu Turtle just now, why does it smell so good?" ”
"Monkey wine."
"Ahem" Chu Chu choked a few mouthfuls of seawater. Wait until you come to your senses. She caught up with Lin Yan again and grabbed his arm, "Is it really 'monkey wine'?" Do you still have any? ”
"Shopkeeper Chu, why are you asking this?"
"Don't ask so much, tell me, do you still have 'monkey wine'?" Chu Chu asked very anxiously, obviously, this "monkey wine" was very important to her. So much so that she has now lost her sense of proportion.
Although I was dissatisfied with Chu Chu's repeated pressing, I took into account her help before. Lin Yan still told the truth: "There are still a few pots." ”
Hearing Lin Yan say that there were still a few pots, Chu Chu burst into tears with excitement, and folded his hands to thank Cangtian: "Thank you, God, my Chu family is finally saved!" ”
Waiting for Chu Chu to calm down a little, Lin Yan asked, "Shopkeeper Chu, what's going on." Can you tell me about it? ”
"Lin Yan, Lin Gongzi, can you give me a pot?" The injured face no longer looked hideous, but accompanied by caution, for fear that Lin Yan would refuse.
"I'll give you a pot. But you're going to tell me why. Lin Yan agreed and continued to ask.
"Okay, okay, I'll say it now." Hearing Lin Yan's promise, Chu Chu suddenly came to his senses and began to tell him why he desperately needed "monkey wine".
"The ancestor of the Xuanwu family in the Xuanwu Continent is good at wine, this is something that everyone in the whole continent knows. Therefore, in order to get the support or protection of the Xuan family, some people or families collect all kinds of rare and beautiful wines and offer them, hoping to impress the ancestors and get the nod of the ancestors. But the ancestor of the Xuan family is such a high-ranking person, and he has never tasted any fine wine, so there are very few fine wines that can impress the ancestor. It is rumored that the ancestor of the Xuan family once sighed after tasting thousands of fine wines: Couldn't the winemakers of the whole continent make the same wine as the 'monkey wine'? As a result, 'monkey wine' has become a fine wine that everyone wants. But I have only heard the name of the wine, but I have not seen or smelled it, how can people get it, and gradually, 'monkey wine' has become a legend, a legend of the first in wine. ”
"Oh, that's it. The shopkeeper of Chu wants a pot of 'monkey wine', just to pay tribute to the ancestor of the Xuan family and get the protection of the Xuan family? ”
"Yes, I just want to ask for a pot of 'monkey wine' from Lin Gongzi to present to the Xuan family and get the protection of the Xuan family." Chu Chu said truthfully.
"Okay, I'll give you a pot." As he spoke, Lin Yan took out a pot of "monkey wine" from his arms and handed it to Chu Chu.
Chu Chu took the "monkey wine" and carefully hid it, and said gratefully: "Thank you!" Didn't Lin Gongzi ask why I wanted to be protected by the Xuan family so much? ”
"I want to know, but I also know that this may involve the secret of the shopkeeper Chu, and asking it will make the shopkeeper Chu embarrassed, so I won't ask, if the shopkeeper Chu wants to say, tell me when the time comes."
"Thank you Lin Gongzi for your understanding. During this period of getting along, I know Lin Gongzi's personality, and saying it will make Lin Gongzi more troubled, but now I still don't say it, when the time comes, I will finish telling Lin Gongzi. ”
"Okay, let's move on."
The two then swam in the direction of land. After four days of parade in the sea, they finally reached the shore. When he went up to the beach, Chu Chu collapsed on the beach and refused to move. Lin Yan also hurriedly sat aside, seizing the time to recover.
After meditating for more than half an hour, Lin Yan urged: "Shopkeeper Chu, shouldn't we leave?" ”
"I'm so tired, I really don't want to leave. Forget it, let's go, I've been missing for so long, I don't know what the Chamber of Commerce has become now. Chu Chu cheered up and stood up.
The two of them set off and walked in the direction of Wuhai City. Walking and walking, Chu Chu seemed to remember something and stopped.
"Shopkeeper Chu, what's wrong?"
"I think it's better for us to disguise ourselves."
"Why?"
"Before I go to the Chamber of Commerce, I have to settle you in."
"Is there a reason, why don't you just take me to the Chamber of Commerce?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm just hired by someone to take care of the chamber of commerce for them, and I will be interrogated by them if I take you over. Your whereabouts are unknown, and if you are found out, your life will be in danger. ”
"Is that so? Well, let's disguise it as if we went into town. Lin Yan felt that what Chu Chu said made sense, so don't take this risk. (To be continued.) )
