Chapter 18 Bai Li

Life on board is much more restrictive than on land, and most of the time there is nothing to do, so when Bai Li goes below deck to check the cargo, he always brings Tengfeng with him.

It was very dark below the deck, and the lights couldn't be turned on because the cargo had to be fireproof, but Bai Li walked with ease. Tengfeng saw him flicking his fingers on the wooden barrels one by one, listening to the sound, and then murmured words, and after a while After the time, it will be recorded on the bamboo slips. Whenever he walks past those food jars, he will pick up two honey coins and throw them to Tengfeng.

Once, on a whim, Bai wanted to see if Fujimine could write.He put the ink-soaked pen and bamboo slips on a small table and pushed them in front of Tengfeng, pointing to the bamboo slips and asking him to write something.At that time, the boatmen on the whole ship were attracted, and surrounded by chattering.

Under the gaze of everyone, Fujimine straightened his sitting posture, and then held the pen. Bai Li laughed immediately. He was obviously very satisfied with the posture of Fujimine holding the pen, and then there was an expectant expression on his face. As soon as the pen was written, everyone around said "Oh".

He paused, he didn't know what to write, he looked up and saw Bai Lizheng with his mouth open, and he wrote down his name by some strange coincidence.

"Bai... Li." Bai Li was reading, and suddenly exclaimed: "You can write?"

Being able to write at least proves that Fujimine was born in a gentry or aristocratic family, and almost at least he was a descendant of a wealthy businessman, because ordinary civilians would not learn these things, let alone slaves.

At this time, Bai Li also had a kind of concern. After all, taking away a descendant of a certain noble or noble family would probably cause hatred between the two families.But would a descendant of a nobleman float dirty on the river to die?The war between Song State and Peng State has been over for so long, how could such a thing happen?

"Then what's your name, your name?" Bai Li asked.

Tengfeng's hand holding the pen trembled suddenly, and he seemed to see the flying arrows, the blazing fire and the hot smoke from the distance, he closed his eyes and let out a loud cry, and then started desperately shaking his head.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it if you can't remember it, don't be afraid..."

When Tengfeng calmed down, the pen in his hand had gone to nowhere, and he was falling into Bai Li's arms.Bai Li also gently comforted his back with his hands, which made him feel very comfortable and sleepy.

From then on, Tengfeng followed Bai Li all the time, but the other people on the boat didn't get close to anyone. After a long time, he began to be able to chat with Bai Li.

Bai Li often loves to fish at the stern of the boat, and at this time, Tengfeng sits beside him, and he stretches out the fishing rod with his legs crossed, while Tengfeng helps watch the bucket.

There are no earthworms on the boat, so the bait has to be made by oneself. Bai Li said that this kind of thing is called fish mud, which looks like flour. He will build a stove in the stern of the boat, and then fry it with some oil. After frying, the thing tastes It is very fragrant and sticky. At this time, rub it into small balls with your hands and hang them on the fishhook.

Tengfeng once tasted it secretly, but the taste was very bad. Later, after Bai Li was sure that Tengfeng would not eat it secretly, he handed over the job of rubbing the mud to him.

While bored, the conversations between the two gradually increased.

"Why are you floating in the river?"

"The ship is broken and scattered."

"Well, why would you take the boat alone?"

"……Can not remember."

"What are your parents' names?"

"……Can not remember."

"Where did you live before then?"

"The valley, and then... the house, a big house."

"Oh, I see. You first lived in the valley, and then you lived in a big house! Are you in the city?"

"I don't remember, big cities, markets, teachers, many people..."

"Teacher! You have a teacher. What's your teacher's name?"

Fujimine tilted his head and thought for a while, then still shook his head.

Bai Li sighed, but he wasn't particularly disappointed. The current situation is much better than it was at the beginning. At least he knows that the little guy once had a teacher, and the family that can afford to hire a teacher must be from a noble family.

"Hey! You confuse me. Your accent sounds like you're from the north, but you just floated over from the other side of the river. You can't be from Vietnam. It's a long way from here." Far away, could it be that you are a proton who escaped secretly?"

Bai Li spoke too fast, too much and too complicated, Fujimine couldn't understand, so he continued to look at him with his head tilted.

Bai Li suddenly shook his head after speaking halfway, pointing at Tengfeng and said, "No, no, no, you can't possibly be from Wu, the people there are all dark and thin, and there are no mountains, Chen Guo, you Are you from Chen Guo?"

Tengfeng didn't know where Chen Guo was, but seeing Bai Li's words so vigorously, he didn't want to make him sad, so he nodded as if he understood, and said, "Am I from Chen Guo?"

Bai Li saw Tengfeng's bewilderment, and he was not in a hurry to deal with such matters, so he continued to comfort him: "I just said it is possible, but Chen Guo has converted to the Xushi sect, but your clothes It has Yuanchu's coat of arms printed on it, although not everyone in Chen Guo believes in Xushi, but...forget it, we might be able to find out about your parents when we land on shore."

"Xu Shi." Fujimine realized that he had an impression of this word, as if something had happened before.

Bai Li became happy when he heard it, and said, "Do you remember anything?" He thought for a while, and then read out a famous saying that was often read by the masters of the Xushi sect in Dongji Academy : "Existence is born out of nothing, all things are born out of nothing, and all things have a way."

What Tengfeng did next surprised Bai Li very much, he almost immediately continued, "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things."

Fujimine didn't know how he remembered these, but he just had the impression that after hearing the previous sentence, he naturally followed the next sentence.

"Oh, you probably really came from the country of Chen." Bai Li stuck out his tongue, "The country of Chen is to the west of the country of Song and the north of the country of Peng. The country is very close, it may be the country of Zheng, there are indeed some valleys there, where will we pass when we go back and set off, I will help you find out if any ships have sunk, and you will know when the time comes, and your parents will be found .”

Seeing Bai Li's confident expression, Tengfeng nodded gratefully.

"We're going to Fengcheng soon. When we land on the shore, we need to find a hairdresser to take care of our hair. I can't braid your hair so long."

Ever since he was rescued on board, Fujimine has always looked disheveled. He blinked and asked, "What is a hairdresser?"

"The hairdresser is... Uh, let's talk about it later, it's too late, you should go to bed, I'll check the goods again."

"Okay, Ali."

"What! You should call me Big Brother Baili."

"Good night, Brother Baili."

"Well Goodnight."
