189 Ship of Salvation
The basket and rope were found and tied to a big tree, and Li Xun helped to bring the girls down from the cliff one by one, and when the last girl was put down, Li Xun slid down the rope little by little.
Under the cliff is a sandy beach, and there is a big boulder next to it, the girls dragged out a boat from behind the boulder, it was unexpectedly large, and there was a lot of money for more than a dozen people to sit down, but the wooden hull was very unsturdy just looking at it, and it was difficult to ensure safety in Ling Xiaorou's opinion.
But at this time, Li Xun couldn't care about that, and led the girls to push the boat down the sea with great effort, and in Ling Xiaorou's worry, he waved the oars, and the boat went along the mountain wall on the shore against the waves.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and Ling Xiaorou tried her best to sit in the center of the boat, so as not to be shaken into the sea by the boat that was sinking and floating in the sea, but this was the case, and the waves that beat from time to time also wet her coat, not to mention the girls who sat outside.
But none of the girls complained, everyone said that they were looking forward to the future and worrying, and they didn't know what kind of pie Li Xun had drawn for them, so that they could even leave the homes where they had lived for several generations.
The girls were divided into two groups to row in turn, Li Xun slapped his face with his hands in the sea water from time to time, his face was wet and dry, dry and wet, and a layer of white salt had been hung up, but Li Xun didn't care about it at all, it was really hot and uncomfortable.
And for some reasons, his sitting posture was also very strange, looking at Ling Xiaorou's eyes with a bit of evil spirit, in order to avoid embarrassment, Li Xun had nothing to say, "Xiao Rou'er, why did you say it suddenly became hot this day?" Aren't you all hot? ”
In the morning light, Li Xun's face was as red as a boiled crab, and with the salt particles on his face, it was really difficult to compliment.
Ling Xiaorou hummed a few times weakly, and it was not good to tell the emperor that it was not hot, but the emperor's fire was too big.
Li Xun occasionally touched his forehead and shouted that he had a fever with a little horror, Ling Xiaorou moved her body very simply, trying to stay away from Li Xun.
And then it occurred to everyone that they were only concerned about leaving the village, and no one thought of preparing food, so that they would be hungry all the time after a two-day and two-night boat journey.
After a few days in the mountains, Li Xun was really hungry and afraid, not to mention that in addition to food, they even forgot to prepare fresh water, it was better to say that there was no food, if there was no water, they really didn't know if they could stick to the shore, not to mention that there was a Li Xun who was already shouting thirst at the top of his voice.
Ling Xiaorou was also anxious, no matter what, she couldn't let the emperor die of thirst.
After walking for a long time, the boat passed the section of the road with a mountain wall, and looking at the almost endless sea in front of her, Ling Xiaorou deeply felt that she had been deceived by those villagers she thought were simple.
Who told her to walk along the hill to see the pier? Looking at it in vain, it looked like a severed mountain wall, Ling Xiaorou didn't know whether to turn around and continue walking along the mountain wall, or row a boat to continue in the sea.
The girls didn't seem to expect such a result, and after talking for a long time, they didn't come up with a result, and some even suggested that the boat should be rowed back again, at least the way back to the village would be easy to find.
It's rare to escape, Li Xun and Ling Xiaorou said that they didn't want to go back, but it wasn't a matter for the ship to stop at sea like this.
In the end, Li Xun made a decision and continued to walk along the mountain wall, before he and Ling Xiaorou walked to the village in the mountains, he knew very well that the other side of the mountain was not the sea, as long as he walked along the mountain wall, he would definitely be able to see the landing, and maybe he would be able to see the wharf that the villagers said.
And there were plants growing on the mountain wall from time to time, and picking some of them could quench hunger and thirst, so the boat rowed again, but in the rough sea, the speed of the boat was really not fast, and after rowing for two hours, it seemed that you could still see the turn at the end of the mountain wall.
And the most embarrassing thing is also coming, after rushing for so long, even if there is no water and no food, people always need convenience, at this time, there is such a man as Li Xun on the boat, the girls can't stand it, so they look at Ling Xiaorou, who is also very hard.
Ling Xiaorou was also helpless, this kind of thing could not be avoided, even if it was embarrassing, it could not be solved.
Pulling Li Xun, who was very interested in chewing a piece of grass in his mouth, to the stern of the boat, it was not easy to say too clearly, Ling Xiaorou believed that the emperor would not really understand, so she simply took a piece of clothing and covered his head, the girls all looked at it, and she was not easy to call the emperor, but said: "No peeping, no eavesdropping." ”
Li Xun felt that Ling Xiaorou had insulted his personality again, and wanted to refute two sentences, but he also understood the embarrassment of these girls, and said 'um' very lightly.
There were originally two clay pots on the ship, which were freshwater when going to sea, but the water in them had dried up after not using them for a long time, and then they were used as gong buckets.
At last, the girls were relieved, and they all walked away from the clay pot that was used as a gong, and even though the clay pot had been cleaned, no one wanted to be so close.
Ling Xiaorou also took off the clothes on Li Xun's head, and the girls looked at Li Xun with obvious embarrassment, even the emperor who has read countless women has never had anyone convenient in front of him, he covered his head before, and he didn't hear many strange sounds because of the sound of the waves, but it didn't feel very good, and some of the smells were still difficult to ignore.
Li Xun stretched his waist, stood up, and saw that a girl came to see him secretly from time to time, Li Xun was also very shy, and said to Ling Xiaorou, who was facing away from him: "Xiao Rou'er, don't peek!" ”
Ling Xiaorou's back stiffened, wanting to push back, but thinking of what Li Xun said that she was not allowed to peek, she resisted the urge to turn around, and took a 'bah' sip, "Which one is going to peek at you?" I'm not afraid of long needle eyes! ”
The girls looked at Ling Xiaorou and seemed to have a red neck, and they all wondered: Isn't it a couple? Still afraid to watch?
Some people want to see the looks of the two, but when they turned around and saw Li Xun undressing their pants, they hurriedly covered their faces in fright and didn't dare to look at each other anymore, they can't look at each other, they can't look at it, who knows what the situation is like between men and women outside, if the etiquette is so strict, what do they really see and not be said to be frivolous? How can you marry a good man in the future?
After Li Xun finished solving the problem, he lay back on the board of the boat and hummed, after so long, he was not as hot as before, but his throat was more thirsty and uncomfortable, even if he ate a lot of leaves that Ling Xiaorou picked all the way on the cliff, it was not much better.
Although the girls were surprised that the atmosphere between Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun was not like that of a husband and wife, they didn't want to ask much at this time, they just stared at Li Xun silently, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that Li Xun was really good-looking.
As a result, at night, when the boat rowed to the end of the mountain wall again, it looked like it was a straight corner, this time Li Xun didn't dare to say that he would continue to row along the mountain wall, even if he was stupid, he could sum it up, and the biggest possibility of rowing again was to row to the back of the cave before.
Can you still paddle along the sea instead of paddling along the mountain wall? Then if they can't find anyone, they won't even be able to pick the leaves on the mountain wall that they can eat.
After discussing and discussing, there was no result, and when I looked up, I saw that there seemed to be a light on the sea, which was very conspicuous in the night, but it looked like a passing ship.
Li Xunyi gritted his teeth, pointed to the place where the light was lit and said, "Draw towards that!" ”
So, for fear that the boat would branch too fast, the girls rowed with all their strength, but fortunately the boat was also coming this way, and it didn't take long for the boat of Li Xun and others to catch up.
Perhaps the people on the other side of the boat also saw their boat, and stopped and waited for a while, until the small boat caught up with the big boat, and no one on board shouted.
Li Xun also shouted at the top of his voice that he wanted to take the boat, and after the two sides negotiated the price, he soon threw down a thick rope on the boat and lifted the people on the boat one by one.
Finally standing on the wide deck, Ling Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief, and let her drift in a small boat with no guarantee of safety, she was really going crazy.
This is a merchant ship, the owner's surname is He, known as He Boss, is a man in his forties, because of the wind and sun on the sea for many years, his face is dark and swarthy, but from time to time flashing his fine eyes make it not difficult to see that this is a shrewd businessman, and he negotiated with Li Xun before, and sent them to the nearest dock at the price of one hundred and two people.
"I really can't see it, brother, you're not shallow." From the time Li Xun and the others got on the boat, Boss He's eyes stared at the girls, including Ling Xiaorou, Li Xun was very unhappy, although none of these women were his, but in the end he was protecting, and he dared to stare at the women he was protecting in front of him, and he was staring at them unscrupulously, which made Li Xun very unhappy.
But after all, on someone's ship, and in the vast sea, it made Boss He unhappy, and it was hard to say if he threw them into the sea.
After a few haha with Boss He, Li Xun asked Boss He where the boat was going, and Boss He had nothing to hide, when he heard him say that the boat was going to Jicheng, not only Li Xun, Ling Xiaorou also showed surprise, as long as he arrived in Jicheng, he was still worried that he couldn't find He Louyuan, and he couldn't go home?
Fortunately, Boss He just stared at the women a few times, and he didn't act out of the ordinary, so he asked people to bring food and fresh water, of course, these dry food and fresh water were counted for another ten taels of silver.
The girls didn't know what the concept of one hundred and ten taels of silver was, but the emperor wouldn't know, even if he knew that his life was worth more than one hundred and ten taels, he was still angry with the black-hearted Boss He.
However, at this time, he couldn't say that there was no fatal thing to ask for money, anyway, there were more lice and no bites, he didn't have a penny on him, Boss He said as much as he wanted, as long as he went ashore, he was really not afraid that Boss He would dare to chase him for silver.
Even if the emperor doesn't reveal his identity, Ling Xiaorou is still from Ningyuan Palace, right? Who in Jicheng doesn't know that King Ning Yuan is better than him, the emperor.
