Chapter 247, The Story of the Ship
Meng Jingye thanked the two of them, and stood by the river, waiting for the captain to come over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There are seven or eight more people waiting here. There are old farmers, footmen who do some small business, and people who go out and play. I don't know how they got over the territory of the Wanshan League. In short, they all have their own doorways.
Soon. A few young men, who seemed to be scholars, were the first to get off the boat, and as soon as they got off the boat, they began to praise the beautiful scenery of this side before leaving.
Many of them were carrying things, carrying children, and a few women whispered about the neighborhood gossip. Passing by Meng Jingye's side, Meng Jingye felt the Wu Dynasty for the first time..... It's so real!
The captain sat in the bow of the boat, dressed in a short beat, although it was autumn and the weather was getting colder. But the captain was also sweating profusely. The captain picked up the teapot, poured a mouthful of inferior camellia into the mouth of the pot, and then took a sweat towel and wiped his face with ravines.
The captain took out a cigarette pouch and an old black smoking gun. Then he shook a little cigarette on the pipe, and then took the fire fold and got to the pipe, and the captain took two puffs, and the tobacco was also burned, and a choking breath suddenly enveloped the entire bow, and many people couldn't stand the whole smell, and frowned and covered their noses.
Meng Jingye frowned even though she was. But he didn't feel too uncomfortable, found a place, and sat down.
At this time, an old man with an old scar on his face walked slowly to the middle of the cabin from an inconspicuous place in the cabin, he was ragged, shabby and dirty, many people avoided him, and the old man held a shabby picture scroll in his hand. Slowly opened, this is an image of a woman, Emei, small mouth, Danfeng eyes, is a beauty. This was Meng Jingye's first impression, but the corners of this scroll had already cracked. I don't know how many years ago it was. Moreover, many places on the scroll also seem to have been wet with water, and they are a little blurry.
He turned to a man and asked, "Have you ever seen this man?" If you have seen him, please tell me! This is my wife!"
"I haven't seen it! go away!" it was a young father who saw the old man approaching. The husband immediately the old man and left.
The old man nodded his head, then walked over to the next man and asked, "Have you ever seen this person?"
The person who asked was the middle-aged man who had answered Meng Jingye's question. The man took a serious look. Said: "I've seen it." “
The old man bowed to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man immediately supported the old man. said: "Ouch, this one can't be helped." My father is also here, you and my father are one year old, how can you bow to me?"
The old man nodded at the middle-aged man and went to ask the next person. I haven't had time to say anything. The woman with the child in her arms hurried away from him: "What are you doing with such a dirty body, don't come to my child! How can you have such a beautiful daughter-in-law? What a toad wants to eat swan meat!"
The old man looked at the woman, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. It seems that he has long been accustomed to such harsh words, and he went to the next person with the picture scroll.
"I haven't seen it!"
"I haven't seen it!"
"I haven't seen it!"
............
Meng Jingye sat on the long bench and watched everything about the old man with cold eyes. Finally, the old man walked up to Meng Jingye and asked, "Have you ever seen this person?" If you have seen him, please tell me! This is my wife!"
Meng Jingye shook her head. Saying that he had never seen it, the old man sat on the bow of the boat in disappointment and carefully rolled the scroll. I put it in the innermost part of my clothes, put it close to my body, and then quietly looked at the boiling river, silent.
The captain finished his cigarette. He knocked the cigarette butt on the side of the boat and shook off all the soot on it. Then I put it away. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Don't jump! I'm not responsible for catching you!"
The old man didn't look back and said, "Hey..... If I wanted to jump, I would have jumped a long time ago! My heart is not finished, even if I die. It's not safe to die!"
The captain put down the teapot, touched the tea on his beard, and asked, "What is your situation? You have been with me all day." Let's talk about it. Let's hear it. I run a lot on the river, and I know some people from the platoon gang, they have seen a lot of people who go south and north, and I will help you ask when I go back, maybe I can help you!"
The old man heard the words of the captain, and there was a little more light in his lifeless eyes, although he knew that this kind of thing was very small, but a little more news, how to say a little more hope!
So the old man sat down and said to the captain, "My wife, she ...... It's a prostitute, the daughter of a criminal officer, who has been well-informed since childhood, and I'm ...... It's a thug of Dongxiang Pavilion, and he doesn't know a word. Before I knew her, it was purely to live and live. There are no ideals, no goals, no pursuits. At least I am, because I'm a thug. The thugs of the East Incense Pavilion.
That year. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was bought back by her mother from the government. When she arrived at Dongxiang Pavilion, how could she, a young lady from a scholarly family, endure the hardships of a place like Dongxiang Pavilion? My mother knew that she played the piano well and wanted her to play the piano for those dignitaries and nobles, but she refused and was locked up in her room. Hungry for three days. I couldn't stand it, so I gave her a steamed bun, and from that day on, she thought I was a good person.
But she still didn't suffer from her mother's punishment, she was still dragged into the room by several talented people.
When I was on patrol at night, I saw her crying secretly. I couldn't help but comfort her, since that day, we have been together, I am a big tree for her to shelter from the wind and rain, after all, she is a woman, she needs a chest to lean on.
And I'm ..... But I couldn't have much love for her, at first it was pure pity, such a high young lady, actually fell into the dust, and snuggled up to herself, I was an inexplicable pleasure, not a love.
From that day on, I described to her many, many things to look forward to, including redemption, buying a house, and having a child of her own. Various..... She listened very happily, but she was also worried, until she saw a sister who was also in the Dongxiang Pavilion, who made money by herself, redeemed herself, and then took the money to marry a hard-working and simple farmer, and opened a small shop, she did not resist. Start making money desperately!(To be continued.) )
