Thirty-Three: Ready to go, calm before the storm?

CHAPTER XXXIII

"Senior brother..."

"Brother Wenren, I have something on my mind... Don't sleep at this hour?"

"I don't know why... I suddenly had a bad premonition..."

"The soldiers will block, and the fire will cover the earth. If this person thinks about it all day, how tired he is. ”

"Hmm..."

"Sleep. ”

The two of them lay down in a simple guest room, which was also divided into bunk beds, a small room, the size of a normal stable. The two of them just lay on the bunk and chatted, and after a long time, the two of them were silent, and Deng Zai's snoring soon rang out one after another.

Wen Renxing lay on the straw mat on the lower bunk and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, this jade pendant has a smooth appearance, and it is very fun to pinch in his hand.

This jade pendant carved into the sun, moon and stars, I don't know what kind of magic it is, Wen Renxing held this jade pendant and thought about it, and fell asleep after a while, he slept very deeply that night, the broken hair on his face was scattered on his cheeks, and there was a pair of hands to help him remove the broken hair on his face, the hand was very soft and gentle... Wen Renxing has not felt this way for a long time, that person once occupied the first half of his life, out of Wenren's mansion, the two met on the way to the Sword Sect, and have been together for many years, at first they didn't care much, and then they separated and realized that they were the love of their hearts, but unfortunately they couldn't turn back, I remember that when they separated, she once said to Wen Renxing: "I can't go back." ”

And when Wen Renxing left the Sword Sect, he specially saw her, and that day Wen Renxing pulled her and wanted to leave together, but she refused.

"We have not yet reached the point where we are familiar with each other's shortcomings and separated, so it will be so good to recall, may we never see each other again in this life and this life, so far we are all right, living in each other's minds, it is a moment. In his sleep, Wen Renxing muttered to himself.

The jade pendant flickered under Wen Renxing's hand, flickering and flickering, as if gathering some kind of energy, and the white-blue light went out and went out in this small room, and no one noticed this glimmer, as if no one noticed when the bright moon disappeared.

"Hey, hey, get up and get to work, the sun is on your buttocks!" a boatman-like man banged hard on the door.

Wen Renxing sat up sleepily, and then said weakly: "Get up, get up..."

Deng Zai on the top bunk got up early, pushed the boatman outside the door and said, "Dude, I'll call this brother, you go get busy!"

"Then you'll have to get him up and get to work!" the boatman told him again and again, and then left.

"Okay!" Deng Zai grinned and nodded.

"Senior Brother Deng Zai... Today, the master is going to test our skills again?" Wen Renxing, who had already sat up, fell down again, lay on the bed and said with his eyes closed.

"What's with what? It's on the ship... You are on the ship of the Southern Tang Dynasty!" Deng Zai held a few hot buns in his hand, and then said: "Get up, get up! I can put breakfast here for you, hurry up and get dressed and get to work." ”

Wen Renxing stretched his waist, and there were a few steaming buns and a basin of water on the small table in the room.

After washing, Wen Renxing picked up the bun and ate it by himself, and it didn't seem to have eased up.

"Why does this master want me to do rough work today, this bedroom is much smaller..."Wen Renxing doesn't seem to be fully awake yet.

The figure of the Sword Sect Master gradually appeared in his eyes, and the Sword Sect Master appeared in the light in the crack of the door, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, only a tall figure remained, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Wen Renxing and said, "Xing'er, come here! Look at these thirteen swords, one of them must belong to you!"

There are only two people in the world who call Renxing a star, one is a father and the other is a master.

The Sword Sect has strict rules and strict training, but under such a high-intensity life, it also has a warm side, that is, the sect master's love for Wen Renxing, and he treats Wen Renxing more than his own son.

"Master, you big-headed ghost, sober up!" Deng Zai ran over and patted Wen Renxing's face.

"Master, don't shoot, don't shoot, this head is dizzy!" Wen Renxing had a hangover last night, and his head was still groggy.

Deng Zai stopped and walked out of the room as if giving up, and after a while, he brought a bowl of soup, sat down next to Wen Renxing and poured the soup down to him.

"Division... Master... I can't drink it anymore..."Wen Renxing's words were still in his mouth, and he was poured back by this sudden soup.

"Hey, why is this amount of wine so bad?!" Deng Zai finished pouring the decanting soup for Wen Renxing, and put the bowl aside.

Wen Renxing was poured by this soup, and then looked at the master in front of him, rubbed his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Deng Zai!!"

"Sober up! Get up and work when you're sober! I've come here several times! I'll go first!" Deng Zai threw out a sentence and walked out of the room.

On the surface of the river in the early morning, the light of the sunrise shines on the river, as if the golden sun stains the river, and the surface of the river is covered with gold leaf, and the golden light is very moving.

"The mountains end with the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness. If it weren't for this kind of river view, I would have to enjoy it!" Peng Bu Deng sighed as he looked at the river view from the top of the ship's building.

"Envoy Peng is leisurely and elegant. Wang Haoyue looked at Peng Bu on the deck and said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Let General Wang smile!" Peng Bu saw Wang Haoyue on the deck, which might as well be a beautiful scenery on the river, and then shouted to the bottom: "General Wang, how many days are there until Jianye?"

"Half a day to the ferry, and then half a day to Jianye by carriage. Wang Haoyue said while the wind was blowing on the river, and the long hair fluttering without a helmet attracted the boatmen to stop their work and stop and look.

"Thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day!" the Peng Bu envoy unconsciously sighed at the speed of the tailwind.

Liu Cong and the others in the room heard this conversation outside clearly, and seeing that there was no movement outside, Liu Congcai slowly spoke: "It's going to be Jianye so soon!"

"If the boat on this river is sailing with the wind, it is indeed very fast. Xiong Jingyi said without looking back, his eyes still looking at the prophecy paper written yesterday.

"Everyone, can you know the contents of this paper by heart?" Fan Shijin made a pot of tea, put down four cups, and filled them one by one.

Bai Xiyue came to the table and sat down, holding the freshly poured tea and said, "I didn't expect it to arrive so soon... Alas!"

"I've already imprinted the content in my heart, let's burn this prophecy paper in a while..."Xiong Jingyi turned his head and said, it seems that he has memorized the content of this paper many times.

"Reverence is very true, but there are no candles in this room..."Fan Shijin looked around and found that there was no such thing as a candle flame.

Xiong Jingchong picked up the paper and tore it up, he tore the paper extremely small, and after confirming that he could no longer see the contents, he scattered it through a window, and the small confetti flew out like snowflakes.

Fan Shijin looked at the confetti that was floating out and asked, "Reverence, are you afraid?"

"Hahahaha...... Woo woo woo ... I'm scared to death!But what's the use of being afraid, you and I have a heavy responsibility, even if we die, we are not worthy of it!" Xiong Jingchong cried out halfway through laughter, and then wiped his tears and said firmly.

Liu Cong sighed, what he had to do at this time was to be a hidden guard, quietly observing the surroundings, like a snake lurking in the shadows, aiming at the target and hitting it with one blow. If there is a mistake, Liu Cong knows that it will cause an irreparable accident.

"Senior brother, but you're almost at the ferry?" Wen Renxing, who had been busy all morning, twisted his arms and looked at the place where many boats had gathered in the distance.

"yes, it looks like we're going our separate ways. Deng Zai picked up a bucket of water and splashed it out, washing the deck.

"Senior brother, you must meet a few of my close friends before you get off the ship. Wen Renxing retracted his gaze, took the brush and began to scrub on the ground.

Deng Zai wiped the sweat on his face, and then teased: "You friends, I really have to take a look, you have mentioned it several times, this has broken the ice of our iceberg, it has to be a ruthless character, hahaha!"

Wen Renxing didn't know what to say for a while, so he picked up a bucket of swill and splashed it at Deng Zai.

"Ahh

"Don't come here, come here again, I'll kick it!" Wen Renxing pointed to Deng Zai, who was covered in swill.

Deng Zai stretched out his arms and wanted to give a strong hug, Wen Renxing really showed no mercy, and kicked Deng Zai into the water tank, this Deng Zai fell into the water tank, and the originally clear water turned yellow, and when Deng Zai got up, he looked like a chicken in soup.

"Senior brother, just take a good shower inside!" Wen Renxing threw the brush that had been used to brush the deck into the water tank.

"You wait for me to come back, I'll go to dinner together after washing! You're going to wait..."Deng Zai exclaimed as he scrubbed his body vigorously.

Wen Renxing and Deng Zai came to the hall where the next person dined, there was a rectangular table in this hall, the table was very long, the position was opposite to each other, and one person could sit at both ends of the head and tail, respectively, sitting the shipwright and the bookkeeper, and the general shipwright sat on both sides.

When the foreman saw that the men had arrived, he instructed the bookkeeper to begin counting the accounts, and that the ferry was about to arrive, so he had to settle the accounts of the helpers, and explain other things by the way.

"Everyone, please be seated!" the foreman stretched out his hand to the boatmen standing to the left and right to sit down.

Wen Renxing and Deng Zai, together with other shipwrights, listened to the words of the ship's foreman before sitting down.

"You have worked hard! You have worked this trip! I will be able to get to the ferry at noon today, and I am here to pay you some wages today. The shipwright had no intention of sitting down, but looked down at the crowd and said.

Except for Wen Renxing, the other boatmen were all tanned, and the clothes on the outside of their bodies were printed with the words 'Wang's family', which looked much newer than the clothes inside. When they heard that the shipwrights were going to be paid, they all rubbed their hands and feet, and their faces were full of joy and they looked forward to taking their wages with their own hands.

"Haha, don't worry, everyone! It should be yours, and the Wang family will not give a penny! Today is to say that after arriving at the ferry, there are still a batch of valuable items, which need manpower to carry them!" Seeing that no one objected, the foreman of the boat said: "This ferry port is close to Jianye City! It only takes half a day to arrive, and then it is to be carried down, and everyone will call it a day and leave, and the salary will be twice as much as before! Listen! That's twice as much!"

"Ahh

"That's a lot!"

"I knew there was such a good thing, I should have waited for this ferry to pick up the work!"

"Not really..."

When the boatmen heard this, they began to talk about it.

"Everyone, be quiet! If you hadn't worked all the way on the ship, how could you have left such a fat gap to you! If you are interested, go to the bookkeeper to register!" the shipwright patted the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then pointed to the bookkeeper and said.

With that, the ship's foreman walked out of the hall, and there was no food on the table.

"My lord, why don't you leave without eating?" asked the guy next to him.

"As soon as I entered this hall, I smelled a smell of swill, can I still eat this?" The shipwright's expression was not as kind as just now, as if his face had changed.

"Hey, these boatmen thought you had given you a fat job! In fact, they didn't just deduct 10% of the wages on this ship! Hehe!" The little guy next to him walked next to the boatman hunched over.

"If you don't deduct this percentage, won't this double salary be the same as before?!!haha!" the shipwright smiled triumphantly.
