Chapter 241: Forced to go to sea, Wu vigorously repays the favor
The former clerk said that Zhan Yuan's hometown revisited Wujia Village, and an old voice behind him asked him if his surname was Zhan. This made Zhan Yuan take aback, and he hurriedly turned around to take a look, and saw that it was an old man who spoke, this old man was not young, his face was wrinkled, folds were folded, and his eyes were squinting at Zhan Yuan. There was a middle-aged man next to him who was helping the old man, and asked beside him, "Dad, are you looking at the wrong person?"
The old man patted the middle-aged man's hand trembling and said, "I won't be mistaken, although your father and I are old, I will never forget your benefactor in my life!"
"My benefactor?" Dahan was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at Zhanyuan and the four of them for a while, and then said, "Dad, you mean that this is Brother Zhan in front of you!"
"Exactly!" the old man pointed at Zhan Yuan and said, "This, are you surnamed Zhan?"
Zhan Yuan was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the old man's arm and said, "It's me, I'm surnamed Zhan!" and then looked up at the middle-aged man and said excitedly: "Is this big brother Wu Dali Wu?"
This middle-aged man is Wu Dali, who was rescued by Zhan Yuan when he was just born and made a big fuss in a black shop! Now it has been almost 30 years, and Wu Dali's impression of Zhan Yuan is not deep. But when Zhan Yuan said this, he immediately remembered, and grabbed Zhan Yuan's hand and shouted excitedly: "Brother Zhan, it's really you......!" I thought you ......," said the eight-foot-tall man's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Wu Dali's father was also very excited: "Haha, I didn't expect it, at my age, I can actually recognize Brother Zhan at a glance, I don't think anyone dares to say that I am old and dizzy!"
Zhan Yuan also hurriedly hugged Father Wu and said with a smile: "Old man, your old memory is really good! If I remember correctly, you must be seventy-six years old this year, right?"
"Hey, you have a good memory, that's right, I'm exactly seventy-six this year!" the old man also patted Zhanyuan's hand and laughed.
That's it, Wu Dali and his son hurriedly led Zhanyuan and others to their home. Wu Dali is in his early fifties this year, and he has three sons, the eldest son gave birth to a grandson to Wu Dali, and the second son also married a daughter-in-law. Wu Dali hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to cook together, cooked a table of dishes for Zhanyuan and others, and asked his son to make a big jar of soju, so that he had to drink with Zhanyuan for a while.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhanyuan and Wu Dali also chatted for a long time about their experiences over the years. Kong Liang on the side asked at this time: "I said Brother Wu, I don't know something, and I ask my brother to give me advice." ”
Wu Dali hurriedly put down his chopsticks and waved his hand and said: "Oh, I'm a rough person who dives pearls, where did I mention these two words, just ask." ”
Kong Liang asked: "When we came, there were goblins in the sea, which smashed a lot of boats and killed a lot of people. Do you know that?"
Wu Dali heard this, the hand holding the wine glass trembled, then sighed, and stacked the wine glass on the table, and the wine inside spilled out. Only then did he slowly speak: "Why don't I know, I'm the only survivor in the mouth of the kraken!"
Everyone was stunned when they said these words, and Zhan Yuan patted Wu Dali's shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, can you tell us about it?"
Wu Dali nodded and said, "It's okay to say it, it's just that this experience is too terrifying, and I'm still a little scared when I think about it now." While speaking, Wu Dali picked up the wine glass and filled it for himself, and drank two large sips, which strengthened his courage and said: "That day, Brother Song and I in the same village, the ten of them drove five boats to pearl diving, although the rumors of monsters in the sea have begun in those days, but none of us have gone to our hearts." Before leaving, I bowed to Mazu and went to sea. ”
Wu Dali said in his mouth, but his hands did not stop, then poured himself wine, drank two more sips and continued: "After drifting on the sea for three days, when we arrived at the Jizui Reef, we got off anchor and began to launch watercolor beads. The first round went down with Brother Song and the five of them, and it took only a few breaths for them to go down, and blood began to bubble up on the sea! It was almost a moment of effort, and the whole sea was dyed red! We hurriedly pulled the rope on their waists, but the rope that was pulled up was broken......
Wu Dali said as he trembled, his face turned pale, he held the wine glass tightly in his hand, and took a sip tremblingly, before continuing: "The rest of us quickly hoisted the sails and ran back, but ...... But almost instantly, a yellow shadow flashed, and one of the boats was smashed in two! We ran less than half a mile, and the ships behind were all sunk before they could even raise their sails! None of them survived! I was the last boat the youkai had to deal with, but all my sails were raised, and fortunately the wind was good that day, and I escaped this time. But even so, the monster shattered the stern of my ship, and I dragged the broken boat back......"
Zhan Yuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were really monsters in the sea, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, what do you see that monster look like?"
"Where can I see clearly, I only see that the monster is yellow, slender, like an evil dragon. Wu Dali shook his head and said: "On that occasion, it's too late to escape, where can I care about what that monster looks like." ”
Xu Liang sighed when he heard this: "In this way, the monsters in this sea are still real, this is difficult to do, now the fishermen on the sea are too scared to go to sea, how can we go to Xiaopenglai." ”
Kong Liang looked at Xu Liang unpleasantly along the way, but he didn't have a seizure in Zhanyuan's face, but at this time he sneered: "Isn't General Xu San an official of the imperial court? ”
Xu Liang pouted and said, "You old man is joking, not to mention that I can't borrow it." The imperial court only has a sailor in Dongting on the Yangtze River, where can I find this place in Qiongzhou?"
Zhan Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You two don't quarrel, let's think about how to find a boat and get on Xiaopenglai." ”
Long Yunfeng interjected: "Otherwise, let's buy a boat and drive the boat ourselves." ”
Zhan Yuan glanced at her and said embarrassedly: "Sister Long, I actually have a question I always want to ask you." ”
Long Yunfeng asked Zhan Yuan for no reason, so he said, "You ask." ”
"When we met that day, you and your master were just stepping on a sampan, I just wanted to ask how your ship sank?"
Long Yunfeng's face turned red, glared at Zhan Yuan and said, "Well, it's naturally because the wind and waves on the sea are too big......
Xu Liang covered his mouth and said in his heart: Sensei, if you don't know how to drive a boat, you have to buy a boat to drive it yourself, but you will be unlucky when you encounter wind and waves.
Long Yunfeng naturally knew what Zhan Yuan meant, so he glared at him and continued: "Then what do you say? Anyway, no one wants to follow us into the water, so we can't wait on the shore." ”
The four of them were discussing, and Wu Dali next to him interjected and asked, "Brother Zhan, do you want to take a boat to Xiaopenglai?"
Zhan Yuan nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means." ”
"Why do you have to go at this time?" Wu Dali's father said: "When can't you go, you have to go at this time! Live here with me, wait a few months, and then go after the monster is gone!"
Zhan Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "We have received the old man's wishes, but unfortunately we have important matters, we can't delay, and we must leave the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”
"The day after tomorrow?" Wu Dali heard that he smashed his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Since this is the case, then I will let it go! Brother Zhan, you saved my life back then, and now I have lived for more than 20 years, and it is all earned! It's a big deal that I will give you back this life! I'll accompany you on a trip, isn't it Xiao Penglai, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I'll accompany you to break through!"
Zhan Yuan almost cried when he said this, and hurriedly hugged Wu Dali and said: "Brother Wu! This is unacceptable, you have a family and a room, how can I let you accompany me to take this risk!"
Wu Dali patted his chest: "Brother Zhan, don't say that, I'm a child, and the eldest can support his family." The third brother is also fourteen years old this year, and he can follow his second brother to fish, so why use my Yang family? I am also in my fifties, and I can fight for a few years! Brother Zhan, I knew that you were not an ordinary person from the first time we met, and now I am even more convinced of this. Look at how old I am, you're still the same as you were twenty years ago! So don't talk about it this time, you have to take me with you anyway!"
The old man Wu next to him nodded and said, "Okay! Strongly, I support you, the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates." Although we have never studied, we understand this truth. Brother Zhan, let Dali go with you! I believe that you will be able to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious!"
Zhan Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then there is Brother Lao Wu!" After that, he also picked up the wine glass and said to Wu Dali's father, and Wu Dali's daughter-in-law and sons: "Don't worry, Brother Wu will be handed over to me, and I will definitely protect him!"
That's it, everyone stayed at Wu's house that day. Early the next morning, Wu Dali took Zhanyuan to a coastal town, found a shipyard and bought a brig, which was three times larger than ordinary fishing boats, and had two masts and two sails, and the speed was also fast.
Wu Dali prepared a lot of things for use at sea, slipped through a day, and early in the morning of the third day, everyone followed Wu Dali on the boat, ready to cross the sea to Xiaopenglai!
The book is brief, and the men set sail, and the brig was fast, and it was almost half the way by sunset. Wu Dali's heart was a little relieved, as long as he walked on the adventure for a night, he would reach the realm of Xiao Penglai. There are many islands over there, large and small, and even if you encounter the kraken, there is a place to escape.
He was pondering it, when he heard Xu Liang shouting in front of him: "Uh~ Take a look, what's going on in front?"
Wu Dali hurriedly walked to the bow of the boat to take a look, and saw a lot of broken wooden planks floating on the sea in front of him, and there were many things on the ship. Looking further away, I saw that a large area of sea water had turned red!
Wu Dali felt his scalp tingle, and screamed: "Oh no! It's that monster coming!"
If you want to know what will happen next, let's see the next time.
