He was almost fifteen, and his chin was starting to grow a tiny beard, which was a hassle to clean every day.

It is common to grow beards in Chunming City, and men like to find a face trimmer to trim their faces and beards. Yan Saburo also wants to grow a little mustache so that he can look old. But Chitose hates his unshaven beard the most, and strictly orders him to shave it every day before he can go out. "At a young age, what do you do when you are a scholar?"

He hates to hear the word "small" the most now, no matter what Chitose says he is small. Yan Saburo didn't understand, and the beard didn't grow on her face, what did she have to dislike?

But in any case, since you have done it, you have to scrape it well, which is Yan Saburo's consistent code of conduct.

Just when he shaved the last bit of his mustache, Zhuang Nanjia lost another big one.

Five golden beans waved at him, and they were gone forever.

At this time, Zhuang Nanjia finally reacted, pointed at Jing Qing and shouted: "You are out of the old man!"

Jing Qing spread his hands: "It's because your card skills are too poor, no wonder others." ”

"It's not like I haven't played before!" Zhuang Nanjia didn't believe it, "what do you do?" ”

"Dealer. Jing Qing smiled at him, "I have been a dealer for three years in the largest Silver Hook Gambling House in White Elephant City. ”

Zhuang Nanjia was stunned for a while before scolding with a smile: "It's really yours!"

He admitted to losing the bet, and he also happily pushed the golden beans towards Jing Qing.

These golden beans are in good condition, round and circumferential, and can roll far away at once. Jing Qing hurriedly picked up three, and could have caught the other two, but at this time, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and the golden beans rolled off the table in a different direction.

Before they landed, they were copied by Yan Saburo in his hands.

He stuffed the golden beans back into Jing Qing's hand and said in a deep voice, "It's too stormy outside. ”

I don't know when the ship shook so badly. Yan Saburo hurriedly ran out of the cabin, just in time to see the captain of the ship clutching his hat and rushing over, while yelling at the two subordinates: "Collect the sails, quickly close the sails!"

A wave came and slapped directly onto the deck, and the mast creaked as if it was about to break in the next second. The canvas stretched to its tightest in the wind, easily tilting the hull more than 20 degrees.

The contents of the cabin swayed along with the hull.

Yan Saburo looked up and saw that the sky was full of dark clouds in front of him, among which there were thunder flashes and electric snakes dancing wildly.

The gray-black clouds were so thick that they could not be seen, clinging to the sea. The wooden boat was in front of it, ethereal as if it were a drop in the ocean.

The gust of wind just now was just a prelude, a warm-up. The real power is still to come.

With Yan Saburo's current temperament, he couldn't help but gasp, and his scalp was numb. In the past, he could always resolve one crisis after another with quick wit, but in the face of such natural power, manpower was negligible.

Seeing this, Chitose also muttered, "This is not good, it is really not good!"

A boatman came running from the stern of the boat, and when a big wave hit, the hull of the ship was crooked, and the debris on the deck stumbled. Yan Saburo grabbed his arm with his backhand and gently supported it, so that the back of his head would not hit the ground.

The man didn't have time to say thank you, and as soon as he stood firm, he rushed to the lower of the mast. The captain yelled at the passengers: "Go into the cabin, don't blame me for falling into the sea." ”

Seeing that the wind and waves were urgent, Yan Saburo didn't dare to stay on the deck for long, and quickly slipped back to the cabin. He had been on several rivers and had weathered storms, but he was pediatric compared to the storm in front of him.

In the cabin, Zhuang Nanjia had just bolted the small window when he felt that the hull was shaking more and more violently, and Jing Qing rolled directly off the bed, but he didn't break his head, because the wooden table that was originally placed there also slid to the corner of the cabin at the same time-

Then, it slid back again.

The shaking was more than 90 degrees, and there was no pattern to follow, and then the sea water trickled in through the cracks in the windows and doors, and there was a clatter.

"It's leaking!" Jing Qing pointed to the small window and shouted in horror, "We're going to be drowned!"

Zhuang Nanjia's face was also pale, but he said loudly to him: "Calm down, don't panic!" Even if they talk in the cabin, the two of them have to rely on roaring. Outside, the wind and waves roared so hard that they could almost drown out all the sound.

Yan Saburo stood close to the wall, with a large wooden barrel pressed behind his feet, and made up his mind: if the boat capsized, he would hold the barrel as soon as possible, and then think of swimming out of the water.

Zhuang Nanjia stood beside him and comforted Jing Qing: "Can't turn over, can't turn over!"

"How do you know!" Jing Qing grimaced.

"The bilge is full, full of fish. Zhuang Nanjia pointed at the feet of the three people, "This boat is heavier than other boats, and if it wants to capsize, it will be the other people's boat that capsizes first, and we will definitely be fine!"

Yan Saburo's first reaction was that his words were so illogical, what did it have to do with them if other people's boats capsized or not? But at this juncture, Jing Qing was still comforted.

But he suddenly covered his mouth and looked around, then rushed to Yan Saburo's side and bent down, hugging the barrel-

Big spit.

He was seasick.

I'm afraid this bucket can't be used as a life-saving valve. Yan Saburo sighed secretly, and he also felt dizzy.

The wind and waves are high, and everyone gets seasick, including the few boatmen outside, but they don't have time to stop and feel uncomfortable.

The wooden boat had already entered the center of the storm. The waves here can be raised by one or twenty zhang at will, and through the clanging door, Tsubazaburo can occasionally catch a glimpse of the thick wall of water outside smashing down on the head of the wooden boat.

He could hear the hull gurgling, parts large and small, seemingly groaning in pain. The wooden boat is like a toy in the hands of a naughty boy, tossed and turned, and no one knows whether it will disintegrate in place in the next moment.

At this time, Yan Saburo was also at a loss.

The wooden window was suddenly knocked open, and a stream of seawater smashed in, drenching Jing Qing, who was curled up by the window, into a soup chicken.

Zhuang Nanjia was shocked: "Close it, close it quickly!" Stretched out his hand to press the window, but the window latch was broken, where could it still be closed?

Yan Saburo grabbed a long mace from the storage ring, passed it through the latch, and then grabbed both ends and broke it hard-

This long gong made of cooked copper was actually bent into a "again" shape by him.

The wooden window was closed, but the hatch was pushed open, Dou Ya grabbed Huo Fangfang and flashed in, and said to the three of them: "The water is up to the legs below, can you let us avoid here for a while?"

Yan Saburo glanced at the other two and saw that they had no objections, so he nodded. The wind is high and the waves are steep, and they can't get a dry place when they live in the upper cabin, let alone in the lower cabin, just by looking at the second daughter being soaked, they can understand what's going on.

The room was so small that five adults were crammed into it, and there was only room for them to sit cross-legged.

Yan Saburo stood by the door and looked out, the door of the other upper cabin was not closed tightly, and he saw Ding Yunzheng's master and servant sitting in it from the gap between the wide and narrow doors, talking about something.
