Alternative Jianghu Adventures

So, half an hour later.

Xia Yun stared resentfully at Lansang Qiao Anyue who entered the main entrance of Yu's house upright to drink new tea from the south of the Yangtze River this year. Then he recovered his senses and looked at the two long spears in the shape of a cross in front of him| gun.

...so why can't she go in? !

"I told you it's a family rule."

Yu Ying pointed to a wooden sign hanging on the wall of the main entrance of Yu's house, and saw a line of large characters dipped in thick ink on it——

"People surnamed Xia and dogs are not allowed to enter."

"What bullshit family rules!" Xia Yun scoffed at such unreasonable house rules.

However, Yu Ying had already stepped into the house at this time and turned a deaf ear to Xia Yun's resentment, and went in wholeheartedly to fight with Lan Sang and discuss travel plans by the way.

The matter of going to sea is not big or small.

The first is the selection of the ship, is it a small fast ship or a giant civilian merchant ship?

The next thing to consider is the sailors. If it is a small boat, the person who takes the boat must have two jobs. Although the big boat can avoid the trouble of doing it yourself, the number of sailors hired according to the size of the boat is another problem—after all, there are such a large group of people. People, the cost of food alone is a lot of money.

And that's not even counting those who were on the boat or those who were seasick.If you run into this kind of situation, it will be another big trouble.

The boat and people are all ready, and those invisible obstacles have to be carefully considered.

Registration of hidden reefs, ocean currents, wind direction, terrain, passing checkpoints, and ferries...

For this series of obstacles, of course, the older the sea, the more experienced the person. It is best to know some astronomical knowledge so as not to lose the compass and get lost in the sea.

In short, the more you know, the better, and the low-level miscellaneous learning that has always been looked down upon by Confucian scholars is here.

Considering all the troublesome things, it not only takes a lot of preparation time, but also urgently needs to find someone who can take the lead in handling these things.

And Yu Ying is such a person.

For a whole year, she stayed on the boat almost every day, and at most she would only go home for a gathering during the Chinese New Year. It can be said that the salty smell of sea water blew from her bones.

Therefore, when Yu Ying proposed to go with a merchant ship heading north three days later, several people present and someone waiting outside the door unanimously nodded in agreement.

Firstly, if you rent a boat by yourself, you need to worry about too many trifles; secondly, although it is inevitable that there will be many people in the merchant ship, it can hide the traces of everyone very well, and there is enough space on board to accommodate the two children who are about to take over.

then--

Three days later.

The seagull let out a long cry, its spread wings brushed past the top of the mast, and then pulled itself up high, looking at the porters on the side of the ferry lined up to deliver goods to the ship from a distance.

This is a fleet of merchant ships.

The leading main ship is a tall blessing boat, with a high bow and a stern, which is as high as four stories!The two huge sails are fully supported by the sea wind, and the space enough to accommodate hundreds of people makes this ship have the potential to swallow the sky!

Even in order to prevent the pirates that are prevalent in the sea area, the owner of this fleet actually bought a lot of heavy artillery and firearms with a lot of money-it must be said that it is majestic.

Whole sacks of grain and grass were put into the cabin like this, and boxes of gold, jade and silver ornaments were also placed in the dark storehouse.As for those high-quality celadon jars, they were carefully carried onto the boat and lightly stacked into a pile, carrying the businessman's desire to exchange for money.

The porters of this pair mainly moved business guys, and the other pair loaded whole boxes of fruit and fresh water onto the boat.

On the suspended steps, Xia Yun and others were slowly swarming inside with a group of sailors on board and individual tourists with their own plans.

"This ship... I'm afraid it's an official ship? How can ordinary people have such great capabilities?"

After getting on the boat, Xia Yun threw the baggage into his cabin, and immediately ran up to the deck, with this huge monster in great numbers.

"It was bought from the government." Yu Ying nodded, "The master behind this is also quite friendly with our Yu family. sell high.

Isn't this a war between North and South?He saw that there was a shortage of funds in the north, so he bought this ship - to do business with those dignitaries in the north. "

"...I always thought that this shouldn't be taken care of by your Yu family?"

"This guy only does business, and the business content is very wide. He has no interest in Lixi's influence, and he has cooperated with the Yu family all the year round. It can be regarded as peaceful, and we can talk about a win-win situation."

While speaking, the pedals on the boat have been removed, and the entrance to the boat has been completely sealed.

The sailor who was trotting back and forth beside him was yelling and doing the work of pulling the rope, and the other guests were also waving desperately at the family members on the shore by the side of the boat.

After leaving this time, going to the north, even if you come back immediately, it will take several months.

Xia Yun, Qiao An, Yue Lansang and the three of them carried their wealth and lives with them, and Li Xi didn't have many relatives or friends, so he fell behind the crowd, but looked at Yu Ying who was indifferent beside him and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Why don't you say goodbye?" Ransange asked.

"I'm used to it." Yu Ying spread her hands, "After all, you are a person who lives on the boat. If you do this every time you go to sea, I think my family's hands will be broken."

It's okay not to talk about the family, but when it comes to Yu's family, Xia Yun's previously brooding stomach immediately explodes.

"Speaking of which you haven't explained to me—"

Xia Yun slashed at the back of Yu Ying's neck with an unkind expression, "What's the meaning of that plaque hanging in front of your Yu family?! Is there any enmity between our surname Xia and your surname Yu?"

Yu Ying easily turned her head to avoid it, and nodded blankly, "Yes, there is indeed a grudge."

Xia Yun: "..."

Lan Sang, who smelled gossip, suddenly appeared between the two of them, looking at Yu Ying excitedly, "Tell me about your hatred!"

"Actually, this sign was put up by people from the previous generation." Yu Ying thought for a while, and didn't know where to start, "It is said that my uncle's generation met a man named Xia when he was young.

I heard that when they were leaving the caravan, they were almost robbed by bandits and almost lost their lives, but the man suddenly appeared and beheaded all the bandits, saving their lives, and then took them home and said I want to thank the savior surnamed Xia. "

Inexplicably implicated, someone Xia with the same surname looked at Yu Ying, "...so why are you still juxtaposing him with a dog?"

"Because he secretly learned my family's inner martial arts." Yu Ying replied as a matter of course.

The inner sect mentality has always been a top-secret true biography that is not passed on among the sects of the Jianghu.If outsiders learn it, they will naturally be cast aside by everyone in the sect.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just... Although my family didn't produce any strange people in the world, it is still a family of martial arts that has been passed down for a hundred years-more or less unique skills."

"I know this!"

Lan Sang nodded and continued: "Although the Yu family started as a businessman, it was just a small fisherman in a precarious situation a hundred years ago.

It is said that there was a sea disaster in Lixi a hundred years ago, and the residents along the coast were killed and injured by the sea, so the sea people were forced to move inland continuously.And countless people were also displaced in Hainan.

Those who can survive the shipwreck are mostly lucky, but there are also very few people who have real skills and can survive in the flooded sea.Among them, a girl survived, and this is the ancestor who later carried forward the Yu family.

The disaster caused by the shipwreck lasted for many years.After calming down, the shore was a mess, but people at that time were afraid to live in fear of another accident, and finally the first group of people who rebuilt their homes appeared.

And the ancestor of the Yu family, as one of them, has deep roots and a flexible mind, so he naturally earned the first start-up capital in it.Then slowly, with a woman of the generation, she started a family in Lixi and became a legend!

If you say that she was just lucky back then, she didn't have much martial arts and intelligence, she wouldn't believe it! "

Yu Ying looked at Lan Sang unkindly, so what she was most impatient with was the people in this group of bee pavilions, not to mention the noise, there was always a feeling that she was presented in front of each other without a fig leaf—no secret to speak of.

She snorted awkwardly, nodded, reluctantly admitting that what Lan Sang said was right,

"……That's it.

But that person surnamed Xia not only saw our inner strength, but also secretly learned it!Although we don't pay much attention to this thing, and no one learns it on weekdays... But it is a relic left by our ancestors after all, and it is a shame for the family to be learned by such an outsider!

Even though the uncle wanted to stop him, but the disparity in strength was too great, in the end he was escaped by that surnamed Xia. After searching to no avail, he put up this sign in a fit of frustration to vent his hatred! "

The more Xia Yun listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why this experience... seems to have been heard by someone.

[…… I traveled to mountains, rivers, and seas in my early years, and I realized the heart and sea in the southern border... Later, at the southernmost end, I was given Qiongyao... This trick is called... Owing to a rough road, I drew my sword to save me... ...]

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

"Do you know the name of that Xia?" Xia Yun asked cautiously.

"Xia Cunxiu." Yu Ying replied affirmatively, "When the children in the clan made mistakes, they would hand-copy their enemies' names a thousand times when they were young. There can be no mistakes!"

Qiao Anyue silently looked at Xia Yun.

"Why, do you know each other?"

"No! I don't know him at all!" Xia Yun quickly spoke up.

master!For the sake of your apprentice's wealth and life, you can stay where you are cool!

Xia Yun muttered silently in his heart.

Nervous Yu Ying was quickly fooled, but Lan Sang looked at Xia Yun meaningfully, smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the boat started slowly.

The seagull that had been circling above the head for a long time jumped down, and went straight to the bamboo leaf green on Qiao Anyue's wrist to cover it - I'm afraid I mistakenly thought it was a small edible bug!

Qiao Anyue hurriedly took the little snake to dodge, and waved away the seagull's troubles. As soon as she turned her side, she saw two people slowly walking out of the crowd of boat passengers behind her——

To be precise, it was a person who came out pushing a wooden cart.

She raised her eyes and met the standing man, a fleeting look of astonishment flashed across her face.
