Chapter 16: storm

The merchant monk lay on the ship for five days, and occasionally stood on the deck for a while without ever getting off the merchant ship. On the one hand, the ship sailing on the sea for more than ten days made him uncomfortable and he needed to take a good rest; on the other hand, if dreams sent him from time to time, he refused with physical discomfort and was too lazy to entertain. She was instructed to send Meng Yiru the money and goods, which made her a small profit. She didn't have much difficulty. The goods were soon loaded on the ship. Now she is waiting for customs clearance.
Shang Shangjun turned over a miscellaneous book with boredom, counted the time, today is the day when the customs paper is issued, and there is no news till now, is there any trick in the dream?
Mr. Shang was thinking seriously, and a young crew member yelled out of the cabin, "Shangyang, a girl outside is looking for you."
"Okay, I see." Shang Junli stood up and walked out of the cabin. Unsurprisingly, it was Lanyi. The business man nodded and smiled, "Girl Lan."
The appearance of Tong Lanyi's official business, he replied coldly: "The customs clearance papers have been completed. My grown-up asked my son to go to the government."
It seems that I can't escape this time. Fortunately, he will meet the dream master again. The business man said frankly, "There is a girl Laura."
The two did not talk along the way. They walked back and forth. As they approached the door of the Commercial Supervision Department, Lanyi stopped suddenly. When he turned around, he held a light blue envelope in his hand and handed it to the merchant. In his hand, Lanyi said softly, "Give it to Bi Xian. Thank you."
The business man received the envelope, as thin as a cicada, and maybe there were only a few words in it, but the business man could feel the heavyness of Lanyi writing it. Putting the letter carefully in the cuff, the business man replied, "You don't need to be polite."
Lanyi turned and walked for two steps, and stopped again. The merchant only heard her low voice, "Although Master Dream loves beauty, but he loves money more, you should be careful." She said without looking back. Hurriedly entered the Department of Commercial Supervision.
Mr. Shang raised his eyebrows gently, love money? How dreams stop loving money is simply greed. With a slightly ironic smile, the business gentleman slowly stepped into the door of the Department of Commercial Supervision. This time, it may be that the dream has been explained. The female will not ask more. , Smiled, "Master Dream."
"The merchant is here, sit down." Mengyiru immediately rose and greeted her, with a very different attitude from last time. She likes the magnificent shot of the merchant, and she has reported to the court that the merchant has increased the merchant ship. Of course, she did not forget to brag about the result of her hard work. The Pharaoh was very happy and praised many times. The current status of the merchant is of course different from the first sight. Dreaming like looking up and down on the merchant, he laughed: "For many days, I heard that you are sick. Today, it looks good."
Shang Shangjun slightly arched his hand and smiled, "It has been conditioned for a few days, and it is better."
"That's good, that's good." Holding the clearance paper on the desk in his hand, he dreamed with a smug smile, "I've done it for you as agreed."
He also ate a lot of his silver, and the merchant reprimanded him with a smile on his face, and replied: "Master Dream is extremely popular and makes people admire."
Sitting next to him, Dream dreamed like a generous praise: "The strength of the merchant is also eye-opening." After reading the receipt list on the manuscript, she couldn't help but be surprised, the merchant had actually entered so many goods. And the imported goods are very different from Bi Xian's choice, most of them are sea treasures. These items are not cheap.
哪里 "Where's the master, it's over." Shang Jun smiled indifferently.
Meng Yiru put the paper on the table, pushed it in front of the merchant, patted the back of the merchant's hand, pointed it out, and said vaguely: "In fact, if we can communicate a lot, we often come and go, this relationship is natural. It ’s hard to compare with others. I can help you take more care, and you can rest assured. "After all, there are some things in the sea area that are not allowed to board the ship and leave the port. If he is willing to follow, she will naturally give him a lot of benefits. Just some inconveniences, if he is a wise man, he naturally knows.
Of course, Shang Shang knew that, especially if a plump hand was stroking his hands back and forth, he could understand it even more. The merchant's anger rose from the bottom of his heart. He pressed down the disgusting feeling, gently retracted his hand, and deliberately opened his face. He said, "Thank you for your help. Merchant ships will often enter and leave the sea. . "
The merchant's face changed slightly, and he didn't know the current affairs. She was annoyed by her dream. She embarrassedly retracted her hand and spoke softly, so she said with difficulty: "This is natural, but there are many ships in the port. But come. "
Is she threatening him? The sneer sneered, she thought that his money was so easy to get. With his hands around his chest, Shang replied coldly: "As far as I know, the caravans that travel to and from the sea every year. In addition to our overseas trips from the east, Yan Rui also has a caravan from the West Sea. There are no other caravans. If there are, this means that there are a lot of goods shipped out of the sea every year, so I don't need to come four times a year. "You are busy, then, I will let you not be busy .
I originally thought that the merchant was a businessman, and profit-seeking was certain. If he had followed her, he should know the benefits. Whoever thought that the merchant was so ignorant of current affairs, looked at his anger expression, and dreamed like that. Immediately rounded the road and said, "No, no, no, I don't mean that. I mean there are many fishing boats in the sea area. I'm busy on business and can't take care of it."
She has already reported to the court, he ca n’t come here, he ca n’t come, or he wo n’t come, it ’s not a joke, if he comes again, he will get a lot of benefits. Color, but it is not good for small losses.
The deputy official's calculations made the merchant look annoying for no reason. He picked up the paper on the table and stood up and said, "Since the papers have been cleared, I will not disturb the adults. I will leave Hong Kong later. Now. "
Xun Meng said urgently: "So urgent? When will the merchant come next?"
"After April, the caravan will naturally come. The business man has left." After that, the business man strode out of the study.
Xun Mengyi caressed the hand holding the merchant just now. His skin was better than she thought, but he was a bit more temperamental. However, she just loves that aggressiveness and domineering. Next time, next time, she must cultivate a good relationship with him.
Laoyou instructed the crew to inspect the equipment on board, and saw the merchant step onto the ship with a displeased expression, wiping the back of his hand with a square scarf in his hand, and entering and leaving the sea multiple times. Laoyou guessed what the merchant was angry at. Lao You didn't break it. He stepped forward and asked, "Shanggongzi, the goods are ready. Are you going to leave Hong Kong tonight?"
Shang Shang nodded his head and replied, "Yes, go now."
"Ok."
Looking up at the sky, it is not completely dark. There are a few red glows in the sky. The salty and humid atmosphere in the air is inexplicably disturbing, but there is nothing wrong, Lao You can't say clearly, think After thinking about it, he yelled, "Ready to sail."
纵 Xiao Zongqing has been sitting on the deck, seeing the merchant's face is not right, followed him into the cabin, and asked, "Sir, why are you so anxious to leave?"
I stood by the bed, watching the sky full of red clouds, and his anger had subsided a lot. The business man shook his head and replied softly, "It's nothing, just go back earlier."
No matter in which country, whether it is the man or the woman in power, it is also such a dirty official business, the same is the power of the bully, but the hate is that he cannot change anything, only to meet this dirty and ugly, this It is the reason for his anger, saying that it is qi dream, it is better to say that he is qi.
Xiao Zongqing felt the anger of the merchant, but he did n’t know what he was angry. It was as if he did n’t understand why the merchant wanted to dress as a man, and why he always had unspeakable sufferings and stories. At this moment, he felt himself He didn't understand the merchant at all, which made him a little nervous.
The barge had set sail. Between the waves, the slowly drizzling rain wet the window sashes, and the sky was gray, and it was impossible to tell where the sea was or the sky. The wind and waves on the sea are getting bigger, making people almost unstoppable. Xiao Zongqing advised: "Shanglord, sit down. The waves seem to be a little big. You will be dizzy again later."
With an expression of calmness, Shang Shangjun said quietly, "I'm fine."
Xiao Xiaozongqing did not like the expression of Shang Jun, no one seemed to come into his heart. Xiao Zongqing took a deep breath and said, "Shangjun, I have something to tell you." He wants to tell Shangjun that he likes him, and he wants to enter his world.
Shang Shang still looked out of the boat, facing away from Xiao Zongqing, and asked indifferently, "What?"
Xiao Zongqing faced the cool back of Shang Jun. He may have the courage to say it, so he clenched his fists, secretly gritted his teeth, and said, "Shang Jun, I, I like--"
Before the utterance was finished, the boat suddenly swayed violently. Both of them did not stand firmly. They took a few steps back, and only heard a loud noise outside, and then the noise of footsteps and low roars on the deck. The rain was getting heavier. Looking out of the window, I just felt that there was water everywhere. I didn't know whether it was rain or spray when the window was wet.
"What's going on?" The business man frowned, a vague premonition struck his heart, opened the door, and a gust of wind mixed with water mist. The merchant grasped the handrails next to the cabin, and was barely able to walk on the ship traveling in the waves. Xiao Zongqing followed, and the two of them fumbled for a while, but were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The sky is dark, the clouds are rolling, the lightning cuts through the sky, as if silver snakes shuttle between the waves of the clouds, dazzling flashes, reflecting the furor of the deep sea under the storm. On the face, people can't open their eyes. The waves swayed higher than the ship and rushed to the deck from time to time. The businessmen and Xiao Zongqing just came out of the door, and they were soaked with rain and spray.
On the deck, Lao You and several young crewmen were running towards the stern with a few bundles of hemp rope. The business gentleman walked up and asked loudly, "Lao You, what's the matter?" Even though the business gentleman had used his loudest voice, he was almost scattered by the wind on the rough sea.
Lao You helped the business man and replied loudly in his ear: "Suddenly there was a storm, and it didn't look like it would end so soon." It was his mistake, but he still thought arrogantly when he saw the strange red clouds in the sky. In the late autumn, there were few storms, and as a result, they encountered such a big storm.
The barge was shaking so badly that the merchant grasped the side of the boat tightly, and barely stood still, anxiously, "Is it too late to return to Hong Kong now?" It was only after leaving the port for more than an hour, and now it is better to avoid it.
Lao You shook his head and replied gravely: "No, the hurricane is blowing into the sea, and now it is impossible to return to the port. It is only necessary to continue in the direction of the wind, and it will be out of the storm." Only downwind passed.
纵 Xiao Zongqing stood behind the merchant, holding the merchant's hand tightly with one hand, grasping the twine next to the boat to hold him firmly with one hand. The rain was getting heavier, and he wiped his eyes hard to see the scene in front of him. The ship was spinning uncontrollably in the wind and waves, and Xiao Zongqing asked inexplicably, "Why is the boat spinning all the time?"
Lao Lao especially pointed at the huge stern of the stern, and replied, "The mast of the main sail is broken, the sail cannot be fixed, and the ship cannot hold the direction."
Mr. Shang turned back, and saw that the sails were shaking violently in the wind and rain. There was a loud noise. The merchant grabbed Lao You's sleeve and called out, "Take me to see."
"No." Lao You shook her head vigorously and replied, "The waves are too big, you are not used to walking in the waves, and you will fall into the sea if you are not careful, and you are still seasick, you better go into the cabin." He Thin like this, the wind can blow him away.
"I'm okay now, Lao You, don't say so much, go and see first." I just got on the boat for a while, and I had a good rest two days ago. The merchant only felt dizzy and supported. It was he who was determined to leave Hong Kong at night. In the event of a storm, he had no responsibilities, and if he didn't take a look, he felt uneasy. Letting go of Lao You's hand, Shang Jun supported the side of the boat and walked towards the stern with difficulty.
"The merchant is waiting for me!" Even if the hand holding the rope was numb, Xiao Zongqing still wanted to follow the merchant to the stern, how could he not even match a girl.
"Shanggongzi!" Lao You shouted. The thin back of Shang Shang still firmly and hardly marched in the wind, Lao You reluctantly picked up a bundle of twine and walked behind Shang Jun and Xiao Zongqing.
When he came to the stern of the boat, the merchant saw a dozen crew members concentrated here. Looking up, the lower right corner of the triangular mainsail has collapsed and flew left and right under the storm. Several crew members have managed to grasp the cloth feet and tied them with twine. However, it cannot be in such a strong wind. The captain tied the sail back.
When I saw Lao You, an old crew member held the twine tightly in his hand and shouted, "Lao You, no, the wind is too strong, and the sails cannot be tied at all."
Lao You put the hemp rope at his feet and rushed forward. He pulled the sail that was still moving, and said to the crew, "If you ca n’t tie it, you have to tie it. A few more people must fix the sail. , Otherwise we can only spin in the middle of the storm and finally get involved in the vortex. Everyone work hard! "
"One, two, three, one, two, three-" Under Lao You's command, the crew quickly pulled the two ropes separately, and in rhythm, the sails finally approached the mast little by little.
Holding her mast with her pedals, Lao You's face flushed, and she said to the boater next to her, "Hurry up! Tied up!"
The boatman scrambled the hemp rope around the mast, but it was almost a bit, Lao You sighed, "Give it up!" With a sigh of relief, everyone's body tried their best to the mast. One point of direction, even if the palms of the shoulders have been worn, the energy is still not loose.
Finally, just at that moment of approach, the sails were tied back to the mast, and the ship was still bumping in the huge waves, but no longer spinning. A group of people, including Lao You, all fell to the ground, panting and panting, letting the rain wash away, but their faces were full of smiles.
His eyes narrowed, and he deeply admired this group of men who were not afraid of stormy waves and storms. Just when everyone was relieved, the monarch suddenly heard a strange noise from the top of the mast. Even in the heavy rain, he was still clear and wanted to take a closer look, but he couldn't open his eyes with the rain.
Obviously Lao You also heard it. The business monarch couldn't see clearly, but Lao You, who had been on the sea all year round, could see it clearly, and his face became pale in an instant.
The crew members who were relieved to see Lao You looked weird, looked up, and took a breath of breath at a glance.
The sail at the top of the mast was loose.
Looking in horror at the swaying sails on the high pole with more than three feet, the old crew rushed: "What to do? If the main sail falls and the storm is so big, it will never be tied again." It was just the small corners of them They were exhausted, and there was nothing they could do above the mast.
"Climb up to strengthen it." Lao You bite and cried, "Bring the rope."
The crew members looked at each other, but none of them took it. The old crewman shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Lao You, the storm is so big that it is impossible to climb up."
The main mast is less than three feet long, the pole is straight, and there are only a few simple wooden posts on it for climbing. Under normal sunny and calm conditions, only experienced crew members can climb up. Now the storm is raining, the poles are wet and slippery, how can they climb up.
Bent over and picked up a bundle of twine on his shoulder, Lao You calmly replied: "It is impossible to try it, or it is just waiting to die!"
The old crew grabbed the twine and said, "Then I'll go!"
"I go!"
"I go!"
Several experienced old crew members rushed forward, Lao You shouted, "Naughty, the mast is so high, if accidentally lifted down by the storm, it must fall into the sea, such a weather would be a death if it fell into the sea." It seemed that in order to meet Lao You's words, a thunder sounded at the right time, and the momentum of splitting heaven and earth made people tremble.
"Go away." Lao You recaptured the twine, and while they weren't looking back, they kicked off their shoes and climbed on the smooth, swaying mast alone.
Everyone's heart mentioned the throat, and no one could care about what it feels like when rain hits the eyes, but he didn't want to leave Lao You's difficult and upward figure for a moment. The rainwater flowed down the mast. Even if Lao You took off her shoes, she still had trouble walking on the wet mast. She climbed up a little and slipped a bit. After so many times, he climbed to a third. Office, but already exhausted. The storm seemed to be fighting them, and it became more and more mad, and the boat was just its toy at this moment. A huge wave came, and the people on the boat fell and Lao You fell off the mast.
"Old You."
Everyone surrounded them, and Shangjun anxiously said, "How are you?"
Laoyou shook her head, leaned on her waist, and sat up slowly. Fortunately, Lao You didn't climb high and fell on the boat. If he climbed a little higher and fell into the sea, it would be hard to escape.
摩擦 The sound of the rope rubbing against the mast on the main pole is getting louder and louder, it seems as if it is about to fall at any time under the hurricane. Lao You was shocked: "Zhufan is almost out of support."
Laoyou struggled to stand up, and was pressed down by a not thick but powerful hand.
Shang Shangjun took the twine on Lao You and said, "Let's go."
"Shangjun, you can't!" Xiao Zongqing stared, and he saw with his own eyes a strong man like Lao You was blown down by the waves, not to mention the thin woman Shangjun.
The crew members looked at the merchant in horror and unbelief. How could he not do it, how could he do it? Lao You was shocked and shouted, "Shang Gongzi cannot do it."
King Shang went to the mast, pointed to the head, and asked, "Who can you jump on top of the pole?"
Actively? It is difficult to climb up, how can it jump up.
Shang Shangjun said in a loud voice, "I can!" He also knew that only he could be on this boat. Even though he was dizzy by the storm, he still wanted to go.
"Shangjun" Xiao Zongqing has seen the martial arts of Shangshang. This mast, he can really leap forward, but now it is not on flat ground after all, his face is gray, he does n’t know, his current appearance, as if at any time It's all bad.
"Don't say it, I must go." I couldn't think much about it. Seeing that the sails were about to fall, take the ropes, and the merchant lifted his chest up and jumped up. Maybe the hurricane was too strong, or maybe the monarch was unwell. He couldn't jump to the top of the pole, but only halfway up. The monarch stepped on the mast and took advantage of it again, and finally got the club head.
The crew below were all dumbfounded and applauded. They never thought that the thin-skinned scholars were actually martial arts.
There was no foothold on the club head. The merchant had to hook the pole with his feet and tie the sail with a hand to strengthen it. After he had made a circle, the original twine broke off. Later, the sail was about to It fell. The merchant just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but felt that his hands were tight. Without the original rope fixation, the wind carried on the sail was suddenly transferred to the hemp rope in the merchant's hand. Gritting his teeth, the merchant tightened the twine tightly. After a while, the twine was covered with blood, and as the rain washed away, bit by bit of red blood dripping down his wrist.
This is not the way to go. Shang Jun hooked one side of the sail with his feet and let the sail lean back. His hands were completely numb. Shang knew that he had to wind the rope around the mast as much as possible. Finally, he himself I don't know how many laps I have wrapped around and tied a knot, and it's finally fixed.
"It's tied, it's tied." The crew below cheered, but Xiao Zongqing was so nervous and shouted, "Shangjun, come down quickly." His foot didn't step on the board for a moment, he His heart was hanging for a moment.
The business monk was soaked and smashed by the rain, his eyes couldn't open, his ears could only hear the noise, and he could not see or hear. A gust of wind blew through, and the sail he had hooked swelled, and there was no support under his feet. The merchant only felt that he was thrown out by a huge force.
`` Merchant-- ''
Like a broken kite, King Shang Shang flew out from the top of the pole. The snow-white figure was too late to see clearly in the wind and rain, and he had fallen into the raging waves.
"Merchant!"
纵 Xiao Zongqing was lying on the edge of the boat, staring at the rough sea violently, the waves clapping at each other frantically, chasing, forming a vortex, as if trying to everything into the cold and lonely sea bottom. After the merchant's body fell into the sea, he lost his trace. Xiao Zongqing shouted his name over and over again, but only the growing rain and thundering thunder responded frantically.
`` Merchant-- ''
纵 Xiao Zongqing felt that her heart seemed to be furiously about to jump out of her throat, and she seemed to have no energy to beat, she was dead and dull. He just watched the business man fall in front of him, and then disappeared into the sea. Is he going to lose him like this? No, the merchant must not have died, he was still waiting for him to rescue him in the sea.
Xiao Zongqing's eyes were full of the scene of a merchant struggling at the bottom of the sea. He pushed away the crew around him, and climbed the boat to jump into the rough sea.
"Xiao Qing, no, you can't jump down!" Fortunately, the crew members were so anxious that several people rushed up and dragged him down. He was so impulsive, Lao You was shocked and angry, and said angrily, "Are you crazy? There are vortices everywhere, and jumping will definitely kill you!"
"Mr. Shang! Mr. Shang is still below ..." Where Xiao Zongqing listened to this, struggling to stand up, who thought he was not strong, and pushed a few crew members under a push, even Fall to the ground. Unfortunately, after all, he was a teenager, and no matter how crazy he was, he was pressed the deck. Xiao Zongqing couldn't get up and shouted, "Lao You, let go of me. The merchant is still below! Please, let me go!"
The rain hit his young face, and he couldn't see whether it was tears or rain, but the cry of nearly begging pierced Lao You's heart. Silly boy, why are you so stingy? Why didn't he want to save the merchant? If he could save it, he would have already jumped.
Don't look over, no longer look at Xiao Zongqing, Lao You shouted to the other crew members: "Stabilize the rudder of the boat. Look in all directions, and see the merchant report immediately, quickly!"
Everyone tried hard to find the white figure among the flying waves, but still found nothing. Lao You clenched his fist and slammed his mast fiercely. He should have stopped the merchant just now and wouldn't let him go up the mast.
The punch hit the stout mast, and the rope attached to the top of the mast was rippling gently. The old crew member patted Lao You's shoulder and said, "Lao You, the rope at the top of the pole also fell into the water. Now, if Shang Gongzi is holding the other end, we may still find him. "
Lao You looked up. The rope did indeed fall from the top of the pole. Lao You was overjoyed and cried, "Hurry up, pull the rope up."
As soon as the crew members pulled the rope, there was hope immediately, because the other end of the rope was heavy, everyone came to the spirit and pulled up together. Finally, the white figure broke the waves and appeared again in front of everyone.
"It's a business man!"
"It's really a business man."
I saw him again, and the boat boiled immediately. Lao You was the most excited, pulling the twine and shouting, "Hurry up."
Xiao Zongqing heard the cheers of the crowd, and the original sorrowful heart filled with hope again. He pushed away the people around him and looked at the sea. The merchant closed his eyes tightly and seemed to have lost his consciousness. Hemp rope. Xiao Zongqing rushed forward, pulled the rope with the crew, and shouted at the merchant, "Sir, please hold the rope tight, don't let go. You must not let go!"
I ca n’t let go, Shang!
The merchant felt that he was drawn into the darkness, and there were countless forces around him that pushed him lightly or heavily. His chest hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He wanted to move, but no matter how hard he tried, his body was out of his control. . Gradually, he was tired and could hear nothing, immersed in the darkness, floating and floating, the pain in his body seemed to fade away slowly.
In front of his eyes, Dad's hearty smile, mother-in-law's intimate caress, the teacher's stern teaching, the sweet smile of the smiling child, no bitter hatred, no slaughter, they were all beside him, watching him tenderly. The merchant never wants to move, doesn't want to think, doesn't want to work hard, doesn't want to persist, is this the feeling of death? It turned out not to be scary.
The business monk was almost indulged in such a feeling, and his hand was suddenly lifted by a powerful force that took him away from the quiet place. His chest began to hurt again, and his hands were severely torn, as if he was about to break, and there was a loud noise in his ear again. Who is it? Who is calling his name? Telling him not to let go, his screaming and exhausting like that is distressing. who is it?
I opened my eyes with all my strength, but only opened a seam, and he saw Saner's anxious face, was he crying? No, it should be rain. He was so tired that his eyelids finally couldn't bear the tiredness, and he slowly fell down.
"Shangshang! Shangshang! Shangshang" His face was ashes, and even his lips were scary purple. Xiao Zongqing hugged Shang's cold and thin body and did not dare to shake him. Except calling his name over and over again, he didn't know what else to do, but the trembling voice, he didn't even know him.
Wu Laoyou took the business man from Xiao Zongqing, who was a bit silly. He laid him flat on the deck and pressed his chest. After a few passes, the business man coughed and vomited a lot of water. Lao You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xiao Zongqing's cheek, and said, "Xiao Qing, he's all right, go into the cabin first."
Xiao Xiaozongqing finally came back to him, and hugged Shang Jun and walked into the cabin.
He ran into the cabin, Lao You took out a few quilts, and said, "Take off his wet clothes quickly, and I'll go into the stove. Don't let him catch cold, it will be terrible at sea."
Several crew members who followed in embraced them, and were about to undress the merchant's clothes. Xiao Zongqing suddenly thought of the fact that the merchant was a woman. He pushed away the crew's hand and stopped in front of the merchant, yelling. :"stop!"
The crew members looked at each other, didn't understand what he was going to do, and Xiao Zongqing didn't know how to explain, and said uncomfortably, "You all go out, I'll be fine."
Wu Laoyou frowned slightly, why Xiaoqing's face blushed inexplicably, and he did not-
怎么 Why is this child ...
"Hey." Sighed slightly, Lao You waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go, you go back to the stern to get the rudder, the ship is still in the center of the storm, everything must be careful. Here, give it to Xiaoqing. Before leaving, Lao You thoughtfully looked at Xiao Zongqing, and finally said nothing to retreat.
There were only Xiao Zongqing and Shangjun left in the cabin. Xiao Zongqing's hand was placed on the collar of the king several times, and he lowered it again. The king was a woman, and it was not bad for him to undress his clothes in this way. Name festival? It doesn't matter that much, it is important to save people. If the business man minds, then he will marry him. Anyway, he also likes business people.
After a bit of self-persuasion, Xiao Zongqing held her breath and gently untied the merchant's coat. The clothes were wet on the body, and it was not easy to untie them. Xiao Zongqing embraced him in his arms and did not dare to touch it. He took off his robe carefully first, and then the cloth wrapped around his chest was even more difficult. Xiao Zongqing's forehead was covered with fine sweat, he took a few deep breaths, and then stretched his hand to the cloth of Shang's chest, but after looking for a long time, I didn't know how to solve it. It was too tight. ?
The Shang Shangjun felt that someone was pulling his clothes, and he opened his eyes hard, and saw Xiao Zongqing's hand pulling on his chest. He was stunned and said, "What are you doing?"
The weak body made his scolding look weak and weak. Xiao Zongqing looked at Shang Shang and saw him wake up, smiling happily: "Shang Jun, are you awake?" Think of the ambiguous posture now, Xiao Zongqing Suddenly his face burned, he quickly retracted his hand and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to help you take off your wet clothes."
Mr. Shang sat up hard, stepped back into the bed, and said, "No."
"You will get sick like this, don't be embarrassed." Xiao Zongqing wanted to step forward again, and the business man grabbed the quilt next to him and yelled, "I said no!"
Xiao Zongqing froze, scratching her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I know you are a woman, and it is inconvenient for me to give you a coat, but you ca n’t take off your wet clothes, can you let me help you? Me Make sure you do n’t mess around, do n’t mess around.
Speaking of the back, she also raised her to make an oath.
Shang Shang was shocked and yelled, "What are you talking about?" How could he know that he was a woman, did he just--
纵 Xiao Zongqing whispered, "I didn't talk nonsense. When I came, I saw you vomiting. I found it when I helped you clean up."
After he finished speaking, the merchant's face became more and more gray, and his original pale face was even more scary now. I ca n’t let the business stalemate continue. What to do if it really causes fever, Xiao Zongqing sat down along the bed and said seriously,
Shang kong, I do n’t know why you want to hide your identity. But I have to take care of your life. If you don't let me help you, I have to ignore your wishes. "
He San'er's personality is very clear. When he said he could do it, the business man quickly said, "Wait, I can do it myself."
Xiao Xiaozongqing looked at him suspiciously. The merchant nodded gently.
He turned his back, Xiao Zongqing said dullly, "If you can't do it yourself, you call me."
Shang Shangjun looked at Xiao Zongqing's rigid back and couldn't help crying and laughing. How could he be in front of a man? The merchant sighed, "Saner, can you go out?"
"No, what if you faint? If you don't worry, I will cover my eyes again." After that, he really took up the cloth next to him and covered his eyes.
"I--" The merchant didn't know what else he could say. After all, he carefully untied the cloth on his chest, winding too many layers, and untiring it consumed all the strength of the merchant. After finally taking off all the wet clothes on his body, the merchant found that he had no dry clothes to change, but he had no choice but to wrap two quilts on his body.
When your eyes are blindfolded, your ears will be particularly sensitive. The sound of rubbing of the cloth behind you and the gentle breathing of the businessmen make Xiao Zongqing nervous and her heartbeat speeding up.
After a long time, Xiao Zongqing whispered, "Are you alright?"
Shang Shangjun looked down at himself and replied, "Okay." It should be fine.
I unbuttoned the cloth towel, Xiao Zongqing turned her head and frowned. What was he doing? The body was covered with quilts and only one head was exposed. But looking at the wet clothes on the side, Xiao Zongqing understood. So, underneath the quilt, the merchant is wearing nothing? Even though the businessmen are now tightly packed, Xiao Zongqing still has a hot air for no reason. They don't look so good to them.
"I--" Don't look away, Xiao Zongqing turned around and said a little helplessly, "I, I'll get the stove."
Xiao Zongqing went to the door and walked back, and found a suit for the merchant in the closet and placed it beside the bed, and then hurried out.
"Three children." Xiao Zongqing stopped and did not turn back. The merchant thought for a while, and whispered, "I'm a woman. Who else have you told?"
Xiao Zongqing had a stalemate behind him. He was a little grumpy and replied indifferently: "Relax, I won't tell anyone about you."
With a quick slam, the door closed, and the business man caressed his head, which hurt. He never thought about the fact that San Er would know that he was a woman. He did n’t want to tell anyone about it. He just wanted to work hard to get stronger and avenge his father and mother. He was even afraid that others knew he was a woman. He Admit it, he's got a mess in his head now.
He grabbed his clothes and put them on casually, and the merchant still wrapped himself well, because he felt that he was cold from head to toe, and it didn't hurt anywhere, but he couldn't sleep.
After a while, Xiao Zongqing whispered outside the door, "Can I come in?"
"Yes."
The door was gently pushed open, and the merchant had to admire Xiao Zongqing. On such a swaying ship, he just brought in a brazier, and there was a bowl of soup in the brazier.
I put down the brazier, Xiao Zongqing covered the bowl with a cloth, and handed soup to Shangjun, saying dumbly, "Drink some soup and take a good rest."
Jun Shang took it, a warm current from his hands reached the bottom of his heart.
He turned his back to the merchant, and Xiao Zongqing sat in front of the stove and bakes his soaked clothes without saying a word. The business man looked at his cold back and sighed, and said, "Three sons, thank you. Are you angry?" He should be angry because he lied to him as a man in a men's clothing, and still suspects him.
Xiao Zongqing turned around and replied angrily: "Yes, I'm angry. You don't want to tell me you are a woman. You are obviously a woman, but you are stronger than a man. You do n’t know how to take care of yourself. You don't believe me. "And he was most angry with himself, and he couldn't protect him from harm!
"I'm sorry." He didn't know what else to say besides saying this. He lowered his head and the business man said sadly, "I pretend to be a man and have my own hardships. This is related to my family hatred, so I don't want to let any Everyone knows. Even if it is hard, no matter how hard it is, I will keep going.
The perseverance insisted on flowing slowly in that husky voice. Such a business man distressed Xiao Zongqing. He put down his clothes and said, "You work so hard, let me help you." He wanted to bear it for him, Want to make a happy smile appear on his face, Shang Jun laughed, must be beautiful.
Mr. Shang shook his head firmly.
"Why?"
"This is my own business, and I don't want to involve anyone." He has to rely on his own strength to accomplish his mission.
"I'm not afraid of you being involved." How many times did he want him to say?
The business man sighed bitterly: "I'm afraid!" He was really afraid. He was afraid of dragging him down. Someone was afraid of being involved in the killing because of him. He was afraid of seeing the terrible sight of blood splashing on the yellow sand. Nightmare.
"You!" Xiao Zongqing was furious, stood up and shouted, "You just don't believe I can take care of you and help you, right?"
Susan Er's temper again came, and Shang Jun reluctantly said, "I didn't mean that."
"You are. In your heart, I am a wayward child. You never treat me as a man, right?" Said, Xiao Zongqing actually climbed into bed, staring at the monarch's eyes with anger There are also unwillingness and even grievances.
"Saner, you ..." Shang Jun was scared by Xiao Zongqing.
纵 Xiao Zongqing stared at the business gentleman with a gritted teeth and said loudly, "I like you, I want to take care of you, I want to protect you, I want to-I want to marry you!"
In fact, it is not so difficult to say this sentence. Xiao Zongqing felt relaxed and he should have said it.
He was relaxed, but the merchant was stunned. Marry him? The merchant patted his head, wouldn't he fall into the sea and hit his head? At this time, he really hoped that he was stupid, but Xiao Zongqing's extremely serious eyes told him that what he said was true.
After calmness, calmness, and secretly adjusting his breath, the merchant carefully moved back and gently advised, "Saner, I know you like me, but that ’s because your mother left early, and her brother was always there. Take care of you, so what you like about me is, in fact, just like your sister. When you grow up, you will find that there are many good girls-- "
"Enough!" Grasping Shang Shang's shoulder, Xiao Zongqing approached, and said word by word, "I said, I like you. Men like women." He still thought he was a child and had nothing. Understand? He wants him to know that he must be him. Not a business man!
Xiao Xiaozhangqing's face was almost against his face, and a burning breath sprayed on his face, itching. The magnificent handsome face made Shangjun have some difficulty breathing, and his warm and firm eyes made him inexplicably flustered. At this moment, he is no longer the boy smirking in the sun, he is now a man . The business man leaned against the wall, swallowed, and whispered, "Saner, listen to me--"
He just listens too much, he doesn't want to listen now. He should really plug this chattering lip, and he really did, using his lip.
"Hmm ..." Xiao Zongqing's face suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, he just felt a warm breath hit him, a lip on his lips, an unspeakable crispness from his lips to his heart ...
Snapped!
"Do you know what you are doing!"
Jun Shangjun slaps on Xiao Zongqing's face fiercely, rubbing his lips hard with the back of his hand to cover his embarrassment of shortness of breath, and San Er kisses him. How could this be! He always treats him like a younger brother, and the warm breath on his mouth is still there, but Shang Jun feels like he is in an ice cellar.
His face was hot, and a dark red five-fingerprint was left on Xiao Zongqing's right cheek, but he didn't feel the pain. He looked at the businessman stunned, saying, "I've never been like this now. Definitely want what you want. "
"Xiao Zongqing!" Shang Jun was angry.
"I said, I like you, it's not a sister, I won't kiss my sister." He likes him, or he fell in love with him, since when he didn't know, but here For a moment, he was extremely firm.
Shang Shangjun's head hurts now, just like it's about to explode. Calm, he must be calm, can not be influenced by San Er. The business man held his forehead and breathed deeply. After a while, he raised his head and slowly replied, "Okay, I don't care if you like me. It is a dependency between loved ones or a man likes women. In short, I don't I will talk to you about these sons and daughters. If you want to marry a wife and have children, you should find a girl who is right at your door. Don't waste time on me. "
Sting them, it's impossible.
"Why?" Xiao Zongqing didn't understand, wasn't the two of them right? Frowning slightly, Xiao Zongqing asked, "You don't like me?"
The merchant was secretly crying in his heart. I didn't know how to explain it. He had to say truthfully: "It's not against you, the meaning of my life is to fulfill my mission. Now I don't have the mind or the right to talk about love." What is the love of those who bear the deep hatred of the sea?
"I can help you fulfill your wish, and I can accompany you to protect you." There is a reason for the Shangjun women to dress up as men. Xiao Zongqing has long guessed that he is a man with secrets and stories. This does not affect him like him!
How can he understand what he said? The business man shook his head and sighed, "You don't understand the benefits, I don't want you to be involved."
He didn't want to, why did he keep pushing him away? Xiao Zongqing finally exclaimed angrily, "Speaking of it, you just don't want me to help you, you just treat me as an outsider. Or, in your heart, I am simply a child, and you don't believe that I can help you and protect You! Right? "
"Three sons!" Shang Shang had a headache, his body was cold and hot, and he also faced the general clamor of Xiao Zongqing's rashness. He was so angry that he couldn't help shouting. "Look at you now, wayward , Alas, think that you are not a child? What do you say you want to help me, to protect me, why do you help me, because you are the three masters of the Xiao family? By your reckless nature, or by your unparalleled nature Temper? "
"What I want to do is not to play around. It may make you and your Xiao family ruin and perish. You do n’t know anything, but you only scream. Why do you make me treat you like an adult? Even with such a few words of scolding, the merchant was already panting, leaning against the wall, his forehead was covered with fine thin sweat, and his throat seemed to be angry. Every word he said was a kind of suffering. The merchant thought that Xiao Zongqing didn't know how to be upset for a while, and his heart was weak.
It was only a long time, and Shang Shang didn't wait for Xiao Zongqing's roar. He slowly raised his head, only to see him staring at the pot of fire indifferently, his body filled with an angry and indifferent breath. Looking from his side, the merchant had cold lines on his cheeks biting his teeth, showing that he was restraining his temper.
In the cabin, he was so quiet that he could only hear the waves slamming against the cabin and the sound of charcoal squeaking. The merchant secretly reproached him, was he too harsh, and San Er was just a teenager in his tenth year, and He really did his best for him. He shouldn't say that about him.
Wu Gang just wanted to say an apology, Xiao Zongqing's quiet and low voice came slowly, "In your heart, there is only your wish and your mission?"
The business monk stunned and replied, "Yes." He hated the door, and he did not dare to forget it for a moment.
If you fulfill your wish, you will live as simple and happy as other women, husband and wife? is not it?
"Three sons?" The business monk was a little worried as he watched him look strangely calm.
He raised his head, and a pair of dark eyes could not let him continue to ask, "Is it?"
is not it? The business man asked himself that he had revenge, and he had nothing to worry about. He should be able to live a peaceful life, if he still had his life. The merchant secretly laughed at himself, and calmly replied, "Maybe."
When the Shang thought he had something to say, Xiao Zongqing stood up indifferently, leaving the cabin without looking back.
"Three children!"
Wu Shangjun called lightly and answered him with a cold back.
what happened to him?
After a few hours, the ship passed through the storm without any danger, but the merchant was completely sick on the ground. Seasickness and cold caused him to stay in the cabin for more than ten days. Since that day, San'er has moved to Lao You's room. He can only see him every day when he delivers medicine, and he always waits for him to finish drinking silently, leaving with an empty bowl, and never wants to. Say one more word to him. The merchant's heart was a little painful. He knew he hurt him, but what if he didn't? He would rather hate him than involve him in this battle.
The ship finally entered the East Bay, and the merchant stepped out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking at the clear blue sky, suddenly a little stunned, unconsciously searching in the harbor without seeing the beautiful man a few months ago The business man laughed. Is he eager to see him again? Sure enough, people always remember good things.
Shang Shangjun turned his head and saw Xiao Zongqing standing silently looking at him not far from him. The merchant stepped forward and smiled proactively, "Three children."
"I'm back to Cangyue." This is the first sentence he has spoken to him for so many days. The merchant is a little bit sad. After all, he really treats him as a friend or even a relative, but now it can only be Farewell?
Even with a sour heart, Shang Jun smiled slightly, "Be careful on the road."
纵 Xiao Zongqing nodded gently and turned away. The business gentleman looked up slightly, looking at the boundless sea of ​​clouds, but he did not want to see that cold and arrogant figure disappeared in front of him.
"Merchant."
他 When he thought Xiao Zongqing had gone, his low voice sounded again. The business man looked down, and San'er stood on the stone steps and looked at him as if he had watched it for a long time. For the first time, he saw a faint mist in San'er's eyes. In the vicious thief's den, he didn't see it. He didn't see it in front of the bed of the disease, but today he saw it. Is that a sign of heartache? The merchant was a little overwhelmed.
纵 Xiao Zongqing looked at the merchant who was facing the wind in the bow. He knew that he was not worthy to stand with him now. He asked him how he could help him, and he couldn't answer. Xiao Zongqing opened her mouth gently and said lowly, "Someday, I will let you know that only me, Xiao Zongqing, can help you realize your wish, protect you from harm, and take care of you for life."
He doesn't care if the merchant can hear it, because this is the vow he promised to himself.
He finally glanced at him, Xiao Zongqing never left the port again.
"Three sons!" What the three sons said was unclear to the business monarch, but the resolute eyes he recognized, that was the eyes when the three sons had to do one thing, but this time it was more shrewd than usual, he had to do what? The business man was inexplicably flustered.
怎么 "Why, Zong Qing got angry with you again?"
Wu Qinglang's low laugh sounded behind him, and the business man looked back and said, "Bi Xian? Why are you here?"
He shrugged, and Bi Xian laughed, "You forgot the agreement between us? Today is the day when the goods return to Hong Kong. I naturally come to inspect the half of the goods that belong to me."
King Shang shook his head and sighed, "It really is the character of a businessman."
When talking to Bi Xian, San Er's figure disappeared into the harbor long ago, and the business man looked back sadly. Only San Er's turn, it was his turn to take care of it. It might be the best that he did not appear in front of him. Method. He still has a lot to do.
Looking at Bi Xian, Shang Jun chuckled, "Are you interested in talking about another business?"
Bi Bixian smiled softly, "Talk about it."
"I have decided to go back and forth to the sea four times a year, and I have already gotten some good things from Master Dream, and I can meet you halfway with every shipment."
Biao Bixian raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Conditions?" There is a price to pay for anything in this world.
I talked to smart people to save trouble, and the business man didn't meander, and replied, "I want news about the Cangyue Chaoye, the inside and outside of the palace. Also, the news about the Phoenix Lingxuan and Xuanshi when the emperor died."
I looked at the merchant, and Bi Xian had his own mind. The merchant seemed to be particularly concerned about the affairs of the Cangyue court. In fact, it was nothing. He sold news, he bought news, but it was a transaction. It ’s just that he did hear the Phoenix Phoenix, because some people bought it at a high price. Unfortunately, after checking for a long time, it was nothing but news. He only knew that it was related to the throne of the royal family. He did n’t want to cause trouble. Today, The business man mentioned again, was he related to the royal family?
After some deliberation, Bi Xian replied: "The previous one asked me to promise you that I would inform you once a month of Cangyue. As for the latter one, the emperor died for more than 20 years. I can do nothing for that long."
没 I did n’t even check, I knew there was nothing I could do? He refused too quickly, and there was only one explanation, which was that he must know something. Leaning on his mast, the business man suddenly smiled lowly: "Girl Lan is really a nice and gentle girl. She looks beautiful and has a good heart. I am a little tempted."
"You--" Bi Xian stared at the business monarch. According to the schedule, he had only gone for six days, and he could see the relationship between him and Lan Yi? He must have recognized that he knew about the phoenix's death, otherwise why bother to say to Lanyi!
Bian Bixian sighed softly, "I can't hide anything from you." This man really has such good eyesight, and he is convinced.
The business man still smiled, pretending to be distressed: "Girl Lan asked me to bring a letter to a person, and I was careless. I didn't know where to put it! It was really bad." .
Sure enough--
给 "Give me six months and I will reply to you."
Mr. Xi Shangjun took out the envelope from the cuff and handed it to Bi Xian, who had always been calm, but he immediately snatched it away and opened it slowly with a trembling hand.
Mr. Shang turned his back and did not disturb Bi Xian. At noon, the sun in the early winter still caused pain in the eyes, the sea breeze in the port was not cold, and it was very comfortable. The merchant closed his eyes gently, and Ren Haifeng blew his strands of hair.
I can't stop it like this, it will hurt if I don't let go, but it will hurt even if I let go, but is it love? He still doesn't understand, Saner, do you really understand? I hope it isn't, understand, and it starts to hurt.
Although it's early winter, the bamboo forest is still green. On a clear lake, a few strands of bamboo leaves quietly fall, and they move between the ripples. Late at night, Mingyue quietly climbed up to the small building in the lake, and the soft moonlight was sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, only the wind and sand blew through the bamboo forest. Quiet.
A woman in Tsing Yi leaned halfway on a sable fur-lined lounge chair. The unfinished green silk was ankle-length and was scattered around the side. A few candles were placed beside it, and tea was accompanied. The woman casually looked at the scroll in her hand.
Suddenly, on the lake outside, two figures, one black and one white, were entangled in the fight. Both of them were not weak in martial arts, and it was difficult to win or lose at the moment. On the calm water, they also passed several strokes. The two seemed to be unable to enjoy themselves and jumped up from the lake all the way to the bamboo forest.
I put down the book and walked out of the bamboo house. With the moonlight, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and it took a long time to see who the white man was entangled with Yan Yu.
"Yan Yu, stop." Qingrun's voice successfully prevented the two from confrontation. Yan Yu stared alertly at the man in white. This man's martial arts is very high. He has exhausted all his skills, but he has only been tied with him. . The man in white also looked at him with an admiration. For so many years, he could only do so many tricks with him on the water, and he was the only one.
人 This man is always so handsome that you can't ignore it, no matter it is in the hot sun or the middle of the moon, he is so radiant. Murong Shuqing walked with a smile, standing in front of a man in white clothes and winking a smile, and smiled lightly: "Long time see you, Shangjun."
