Hearing the Wind v. 53
But not much.
At the banquet three days later, the Immortal Lord Zhanming still came with dignity. Feng Huaiyue didn't know what happened to Yu Hui in Liuhe Mountain, he deliberately changed into a beautiful new clothes, and sat in the sun shiningly, with his waist straight, waiting for Si Wei to come and talk to him.
As a result, his legs were numb from sitting, and he couldn't wait, so he turned around and looked at the person standing under the tree not far away.
Yu replied: "You can do it." ”
Si Wei disdainfully: "This seat is here for the banquet, not for him." ”
When Feng Huaiyue heard this, she stood up with a "rub", and walked under the tree with a complicated clothes: "You say it again?" ”
Si Wei frowned: "If you let this seat say it, will this seat say it?" ”
Yu Hui helped repeat: "He said he came to the banquet, not to you." ”
Feng Huaiyue said angrily: "I want him to say it himself!" ”
Si Wei was arrogant: "This seat is here for the banquet." ”
Yu Hui waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for the second half of the sentence.
Okay, know that's all you have to offer.
Chapter 67
Three hundred years ago, and wine three hundred years ago. Feng Huaiyue raised her head and drank a cup, the taste was indescribable, but fortunately, the old people were all there, and the new story was always unfinished. He said, "After I go back this time, I will brew two new jars of wine and send them to Golden Toad City." ”
The city that he had been to countless times should have been familiar with, but now he couldn't think of even half a corner. Feng Huaiyue felt a little regretful, but Yu Hui said: "It's okay to forget, after forgetting, for you, it's a brand new city, wouldn't it be more fun." ”
"That's right." Feng Huaiyue is the least good at hurting the spring and autumn, and without drinking two glasses of wine, she put the amnesia behind her, and smashed her mouth: "I knew that there would be wine at night, so I should have left the basket of sour plums." ”
"Let's go." Yu Hui pulled him to his feet, "Now go find a night market on the sea, and you should be able to buy some salt fruits with wine."
Visiting the night market, naturally, the more people the better, Feng Huaiyue patted her clothes and was about to go to the cabin to call her boss in danger, but Peng Xun and Song Wen hurried back.
Yu Hui asked: "If you can't catch up with your breath, did you meet a thief, or was you robbed?" ”
Song asked, "The black-hearted merchants selling fresh fruits in this area are a flock of footless birds. ”
Feng Huaiyue is as confused as Peng Xun, what is a footless bird?
"It's the person who should have died in the Yin Sea Capital." Si Wei came out of the cabin and asked, "How many?"
"Originally, there were only four or five scattered people, but then the two of us searched the nearby waters and found that the number was far more than that, at least thirty or forty." Song asked, "They don't look like they want to be in the fresh fruit business with peace of mind." ”
Feng Huaiyue interjected again, can you say it first, what is "someone who should have died in Yinhai Capital"?
"Although Yinhaidu sounds like a completely free place outside the law, there are also death row prisoners." Yu Hui explained, "They were either the losing side in the battle, or they provoked the wrong people, and they were all locked up in the sinkhole of Vulture Mountain. ”
"Vulture Mountain?"
"It's a low hill surrounded by a myriad of ferocious birds." "Most of the people who are thrown into the sinkhole will be eaten alive by the birds, and if you want to save your life, there is only one way to choose, and that is to sink to the bottom of the sea to carry wood." ”
"What wood?"
"Lumber for the manufacture of Blackwood merchant ships."
After the huge logs were cut down, they had to be tied up and sunk to the bottom of the pitch black sea, and then they could be transported to the dockyard after they were all turned into dark logs. But it is easy for the giant tree to sink into the sea, and it is even more difficult to fish it up. Song asked, "In addition to the weight of the wood itself, the vine demons and resentful spirits at the bottom of the sea will also cling to those yin woods, and they will devour all the craftsmen who try to get closer. ”
There are few normal people willing to do this kind of decapitation, so the shipyard owners thought of finding labor from the sinkhole. They would string the condemned prisoners like grapes with ropes and then put them into the sea together to drive them to fish for shade wood. The bottom of the sea is bitterly cold, and these people's legs have been stuck in the cold sand for a long time, and if there is no protection, there is a chance that they will freeze to death.
"And the remuneration they get for the shade wood is the so-called 'freedom'." Song asked, "When the owner of the dockyard gets the logs, he throws this batch of waste laborers into the sea, and occasionally remembers to untie the ropes for them, but most of the time he can't remember them, and they will be strung together by the ropes, holding each other down, and struggling together until they finally sink to the bottom of the sea." ”
Feng Huaiyue asked: "Untie the rope and throw it into the sea, can you live?" ”
"I guess I'll live half of my life, there's a small island nearby, and if I can swim to the island, I'll have a way to live." Yu replied, "I heard that eight out of ten residents on that island will amputate their limbs. They would help amputate the frozen legs of the death row inmates and replace them with wooden limbs. ”
"Don't want to be paid? Those death row inmates deserve to be penniless. ”
"The reward is to cut off the legs, remove the flesh, and take only the bones to dry. There will be special vendors who collect high prices along the way and sell them to the South Seas to refine evil weapons. ”
It is such a tight, lucrative, and strange and bloody business chain, and those death row prisoners whose legs have been cut off can neither return to the cultivation realm nor go to the Yin Sea Capital, they can only float on the sea year after year, living in a boat, like a bird without feet that can never land.
Feng Huaiyue said: "It turned out to be such a footless bird. ”
Yu replied: "This group of people is not good at stubble, after encountering this catastrophe, there are few people who are enlightened, and many of them are more and more crazy, at least eight out of ten have become pirates, burning, killing and looting merchant ships, and doing all kinds of evil. ”
Feng Huaiyue asked: "So the uncle who sold my plums during the day is also a footless bird?" ”
"Yes." Song asked, "Selling plums should just be their disguise, disguised as a cargo ship, firstly, to facilitate the flow between various seas, to inquire about news, and to find fat, and secondly, it will not attract the attention of the Immortal Governor's Mansion too much." ”
"We came this way, the wind was calm, and we didn't hear any pirates." Feng Huaiyue said, "The plums are rotten and I haven't found any fat, and the merchant ships that come and go here are so thin?" ”
"It shouldn't." Yu Hui shook his head, "Most of this route is jade and silk, as well as some spirit stones and medicinal herbs, which are all valuable goods logically speaking, and the patrol ships of the Immortal Governor's Mansion are also a normal number, so that they are not so tight that they can't start." ”
"But they're very short of money." Song asked, "For three jade coins and a basket of plums, those men almost pushed us into the sea." At first, I didn't understand where all the money they had stolen and why they had slammed the door so far, but then I smelled the stench during the pushing, only to find that almost all of them were bleeding pus from their legs. ”
The leg bitten by the resentful spirit on the bottom of the sea cannot be cured by ordinary doctors, so they can only eat those expensive elixirs endlessly, without which the wound will always fester. Feng Huaiyue sighed and said, "If they can get a glimpse of their future fate before they land in the Yin Sea Capital, they will not take another step forward in their death." ”
"Tomorrow, let's go around and find out the condition of normal merchant ships." Yu replied, "It's not early now, let's go back and rest." ”
Feng Huaiyue listened to this tragic and terrifying ghost story, and was not in the mood to eat Yanjin fruit with wine anymore, after returning to the cabin, he made himself a basin of hot foot soaking water, and asked, "Where are you going to sleep tonight?" ”
Si Wei propped his head with one hand and sat at the table: "If you want to catch it, it's a good question." ”
"Who's going to capture you?" Feng Huaiyue picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at him, "Get out." ”
Si Wei naturally refused to go out, not only did he not go out, but he also strode over and sat beside him: "Tell me, how did Fang Cai Yu sow discord?" ”
Feng Huaiyue asked: "Why did I demolish your Liuhe Mountain Hall back then?" ”
Si Wei: "Which time?" ”
Feng Huaiyue: "...... How can this be so many times? ”
Si Wei shook his hand and pressed down one finger at a time: "I thought I brought you back from the banquet, I didn't allow you to talk to the flowers, I thought I worked too hard, I didn't work hard enough-"
"Stop!" Feng Huaiyue asked, "Who is Hua Duanduan?" ”
Si Wei "hummed", obviously this resentment has not been dissipated until more than 300 years later: "Charlatans." "But this liar has a good skin, can dance, sing, and play gonghou, and the flowers under his hands are endless, and Feng Huaiyue is dizzying, and he can't wait to stick it to others for twelve hours.
Hua Duanduan: "I've been a little tight lately. ”
Feng Huaiyue: "Come on, go get the money!" ”
For this kind of old fritters, Si Wei can endure for a while, but it is only for a while, seeing that the other party has to inch in, there are already signs of wanting to live in Yuechuan Valley for a long time, he is simply furious, so he personally rolled up his sleeves, and after beating people with blue noses and swollen faces, he drove out again.
Feng Huaiyue asked: "So I was so angry that I demolished your Liuhe Mountain?" ”
Si Wei squeezed out an angry "um" from his nose.
"Okay, okay, it's been so many years, look away." Feng Huaiyue patted him on the back, "Also, it's not hard enough, what kind of one is not enough?" ”
Si Wei: "......"
Feng Huaiyue "tsk tsk", Zhan Ming Immortal Lord, not hard enough.
Si Wei grabbed his hair and threatened fiercely: "Forget what I said just now." ”
Feng Huaiyue was forced to raise her head, but refused to give in, how can this kind of words be forgotten, not only do I not forget, but I also have to take it out from time to time to reminisce.
So the two of them pinched up in the room again, Feng Huaiyue stepped on the footbath, and almost slipped out. He screamed "wow" in the splashing water everywhere, squatted on the ground and shouted, "Don't drag my clothes!" ”
The sound-avoiding enchantment floated, and the eldest nephew next door slept very clearly in silence.
Si Wei personally "worked hard" until the second half of the night, Feng Huaiyue shrank in his arms, sleepy to death, and forced his eyelids to open a thin slit, and asked the bottom of the question: "So why didn't you work hard three hundred years ago?" ”
Si Wei: "......"
Feng Huaiyue: "Ahhh ”
Pinched like a crumpled cat.
The next morning, there was a violent storm. Feng Huaiyue was so jolted by the waves that she almost hit the wall, Si Wei held him down and said, "Sleep a little longer." ”
"Such a big storm." Feng Huaiyue's face shrunk into the quilt, "Do you still want to see merchant ships?" ”
"I'm going." Si Wei said, "But you don't have to go. ”
"No, I don't sleep." Feng Huaiyue yawned and got out of the quilt, "I'm going too." ”
loves to join in the fun, let alone three hundred years, three thousand years is estimated to not change. The boatman drove the cangyu to the east, Feng Huaiyue used a charm to block the rain, stood on the deck, looked around with a clairvoyant mirror, and really saw a fleet of ships that were swaying by the wind and rain.
"Over there!" He said, "Go and help!" ”
Song Wen and Peng Xun flew into the air, and when they looked at it from a distance, they saw that in the lightning and thunder, several barn fish were about to be overturned by the waves, so they threw out the rope in their hands and barely dragged the boat. Seeing this, the people standing on the deck hurriedly thanked each other, and put up charms with all their hands and feet, and the enchantments pulled each other together, and the ship was much more stable.
"Thank you, thank you so much, two immortal masters." The first person wiped the water on his face and bowed, "In the Zhou clan of Xia Mi City, I don't know where the two immortal masters came from?" ”
"We are from Yuyang City, our surname is Yu, and we are not a big family." Song Wen and Peng Xun landed on the deck, "Micheng is a silkworm city, and this ship is loaded with silk?" ”
"Yes." "But it's not a valuable commodity, it's just ordinary silk." ”
Song asked Yile: "Ordinary silk is not worth risking this stormy wave, what, Your Excellency is afraid that we will rob it?" ”
The author has something to say:
The scene of the quarrel -
Si Wei: Arrogant and capricious!
Feng Huaiyue: You don't work hard enough.
Si Wei: Unreasonable!
Feng Huaiyue: You don't work hard enough.
Si Wei: It's okay to find trouble!
Feng Huaiyue: You don't work hard enough.
Chapter 68
This time out to sea, everyone covered their original faces with charms. Song Wen's aesthetics are quite normal, he is still a white person, but Peng Xun is more swordsman, according to the image of the demon slayer in the ancient painting, he pinched a leopard head and eyes, a square face with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and stood on the deck burly, like a black tower, no matter how you look at it, it is no wonder that the Zhou shipowner is more vigilant than vigilant, and he refuses to tell the truth for a long time.
Peng Xundao: "Well, our merchant ships have also sailed over. ”
The owner of the Zhou boat hurriedly looked up, and saw that there was indeed a barn fish coming through the waves, and there was only a thinly dressed man in white standing at the bow of the boat. ”
