Chapter 108 Returning to the Mountain in Search of Medicine
An hour later, the sea was finally calm again.
After inspection, Ah Cheng determined that their small boat would definitely not be powered by an engine, and could only use artificial paddles, Ah Cheng quipped:
"It's another catastrophe, and I'm going to have a blessing again, and I can exercise for a few more days. Don't worry, though, when we get to the Twin Reefs, you'll take the official ship back and I'll slowly rock home. ”
Shen Lang could only answer with a wry smile.
A week later, that afternoon, they finally arrived safely at the Twin Reefs. There are already cruise ships, passenger ships, and freighters here, and the population is several times more than the previous stations.
The two of them anchored the ship, went ashore, found a place to have a good meal, and then found an inn to rest. When he got here, Ah Chengcheng was more familiar, he took Shen Lang to find the Baiyun Inn, walked in, and the innkeeper recognized him and greeted him.
You can see that he comes here a lot. The proprietress took the two to the room on the second floor, Ah Cheng threw the gift bag on the bed, and said to Shen Lang:
"Mr. Shen, I'll go out for a while, you rest first. ”
As he spoke, he had already arrived outside the door, and with his backhand around the door, the man walked out.
Shen Lang hadn't rested well for a long time, he took a thorough bath, and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed. When he woke up the next morning, Ah Cheng came back at some point and was still sleeping.
Shen Lang couldn't bear to wake him up, so after washing alone, he sat quietly by the bed for a while, and his brain entered the movie mode after a while......
"Hey, when did you wake up?"
A voice behind him suddenly sounded, pulling Shen Lang back from his memory, and I don't know when Ah Cheng woke up.
Shen Lang turned around, did not answer Ah Cheng's question, and asked rhetorically:
"When did you come back? Tell me honestly, what did you do last night?"
The relationship between him and Ah Cheng is no longer the relationship between the boss and the employee, after this period of interaction, they have become friends, and even surpassed friends, it is the relationship of brothers in life and death, so they talk more casually.
Shen Lang looked at him with a wicked smile.
Shen Lang smiled evilly, but Ah Cheng said with a serious face:
"Mr. Shen, I can't go for a short time, I can't just keep rocking back, although there is only a sea in between, I have already found a repair shop yesterday.
Start repairing my boat today, I know your time is busy and I can't wait, but there is no way, if you wait for my ship to be repaired and then send you over, you can't stand the time it takes.
I'll give you some of the money, and you catch the ship back, it's safe and secure, and it's much faster than my broken ship. What's more, if I rock this broken boat back, others won't laugh at me, and I won't be able to explain it to my family. What do you think?"
Shen Lang listened, the evil smile on his face just now turned into a depressed face, thinking about it, Ah Cheng didn't want to send himself back, he was all in this place.
Who cares about the last leg of the journey, the last leg of the journey is in place, and the money will all arrive, why not.
But the boat certainly can't just rock back, and when he repairs it in a few days, this boat can't compare to the speed of the steamer, and it was not easy to catch up when I came the previous time, but now as long as there is a suitable big boat, I can go, and the most important thing is that my master can't afford to wait.
He said indifferently:
"If you want to repair the boat, you should tell me about it. It doesn't matter, just have a proper boat to sit on and go back.
As for the cost, I still have 30,000 yuan to your account, you can rest assured, although I have not returned the whole way, I will pay the 30,000 yuan to your account.
Along the way, you are also very hard, not only hard, but also desperate, and your cooperation is very pleasant, this period of time together, I think you are a very good friend, I am also very happy to make a friend like you. If I can, I'll do it later. ”
"Mr. Shen, thank you for your trust in me, I can't send you to Zhongsha, I can't do it, how forgive me. I'm a simple person, so don't fight. You're lucky this time and you'll be able to go today......"
"What? I can go today. Is there a ship? Did I hear me right?"
When Shen Lang heard this, he stood up from his seat and interrupted Ah Cheng's speech.
"You heard it right, you can go this morning, the 10 o'clock steamer, it's the ticket. ”
Ah Cheng stretched out his right hand as he spoke, took out a ticket from the pocket of his jacket on the bedside table on the right, and handed it to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang took the ticket and looked at it with wide eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Why don't you pack up your salute quickly, what are you doing in a daze?" Ah Cheng reminded.
Three times five divided by two, Shen Lang packed up his salute, held the ticket in his hand, strode to the door, as if remembering something, stayed at the door for a while, and walked away without looking back.
When he came to the street, he inquired about the bank that could make the payment, and transferred the 30,000 yuan in arrears to Ah Cheng's account before boarding the ship.
Half a month later, on the official road leading to Gongga Snow Mountain in Xinqiao Town, a white horse was carrying a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a short outfit, and although he was covered in dust, his dark red face was still revealed, which was a little out of place with the people and scenery around him.
At first glance, it was clear that this was a person who was traveling long distances, but this person did not show a trace of fatigue, his mouth kept shouting "driving", his feet kept beating the horse's belly, he held the reins in his left hand, and waved the whip in his right hand.
This middle-aged man is Shen Lang, a lone wolf in the snow-capped mountains who has just returned from collecting medicine in the South China Sea. I don't know what the master's condition is, and now I can only go day and night. The horses were bought from the town of Shimbashi at a high price.
It is easy to go downhill and difficult to go uphill, and people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and later, the wide official road has become a cramped path, and many times, it is impossible to ride on a horse, so Shen Lang has to get down and lead the horse.
One afternoon seven days later, Shen Lang finally arrived outside the gate of the Snow Mountain Sect under the Flying Snow Peak, which he had been thinking about day and night.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Lao Zhao, the gatekeeper, saw Shen Lang coming back from the crack in the door, quickly opened the door, and shouted:
"Second Master Shen is back?"
"It's me, Uncle Zhao, is the master okay?" Shen Lang greeted Lao Zhao and immediately asked about the master's current situation.
Lao Zhao ran down to take the reins from Shen Lang's hand, and said in a slightly complaining tone:
"Second Master Shen is back, the old master has to come to the gate almost every evening to see it, I hope you come back as soon as possible, he is worried about you, what are the poisonous snakes and crocodiles in the South China Sea, I am afraid that you are in danger, and I haven't arrived at the gate today.
Now the old boss's hair is all white, and his body was a little fatter when you left, and since you left, his body has begun to thin again. ”
Walking into the gate, Lao Zhao tied the white horse to the stump by the door, and introduced the situation of the old head Qingxinzi while closing the door.
After listening to Lao Zhao's introduction, Shen Lang threw the horsewhip to Lao Zhao and said:
"Uncle Zhao, the horses are handed over to you, and they will be handed over to the breeding office. I'll go up and see the master first. ”
After saying that, the person has taken more than a dozen steps.
