What about the straight guy?

Before boarding the ship, Le Lianzhou found out that the ship belonged to the Joint Chamber of Commerce of Jiangzhou and Xuzhou, and was dedicated to running the Nanyang route, selling tea, silk, and porcelain, which are special products of Dajinyu, to Nanyang countries.The "Jinyu Kyushu Map" in the possession of the Shao family includes most of the small countries around the Jinyu Kingdom, including the countries in Southeast Asia.

Unlike the Nanyang that Le Lianzhou knew, the Nanyang countries here are not much different from the people of Jinyu Kingdom according to Shao Tianyi.Although the language and customs are different, the people of Jinyu can speak Jinyu official dialect, and there are many Jinyu people who have settled here for business and intermarriage, and even took their families to Nanyang to do business.

This is also the reason why he is so courageous, daring to follow the merchant ship alone.For Le Lianzhou, as long as they speak the same language, there is no difference between Jinyu and other Nanyang island countries. He is a "foreigner" anyway.

The merchant ship on board now mainly targets Min Yue, which borders Jinyu, but this time the final destination is the southernmost Wa country, and it is said that it will stay there for half a month before returning.After setting off from Jiangzhou City, one has to cross the border and enter the northernmost town of Min Country before landing for the first time.

Le Lianzhou hadn't figured out where he was going to disembark yet.

The boat sailed out of Jiangzhou Port, and Le Lianzhou waited until the ship steward who had collected his money was done with his work, and then Le Lianzhou bumped up. Before getting on the boat, they exchanged names. The money-greedy bearded man called himself Chen Shuang.

"Brother Chen! Thank you for your hard work!" If it was in modern times, Le Lianzhou would have to hand over a cigarette, even though he doesn't smoke himself.

Chen Shuang raised his eyes and saw the money-scattering boy, and immediately dismissed the sailor who was next to him, and Chao Le Lianzhou laughed, "What big brother, you have a thin skin and tender flesh, your hair hasn't even grown yet, call me uncle! "

Le Lianzhou thought to himself that he didn't grow well in the first place, and he was plucked out by someone else, so he changed his words, "Uncle Chen! Nephew, I think you look young!"

Chen Shuang smiled and squinted at him, "How about it, don't you get seasick?"

"No dizziness, no dizziness, our treasure ship is so big, and it sails so steadily, how can we get dizzy!" This is the truth, seasickness is often caused by small boats, and when this ship is not on board, looking up is like standing in front of a tall building It seems that after coming up, the open space in the center of the deck is as big as two basketball courts.

The whole ship has a total of nine masts up and down, and I just counted them specially. There are twelve white sails in all.The bow has two floors in the front cabin, and the stern rudder has four floors. It is estimated that there are also four floors from the hull to the deck. It can be imagined that the cargo capacity is not ordinary.Le Lianzhou really admires the creativity of the ancient working people!This is just one ship. I don't know how spectacular Zheng He's fleet was on his seven voyages to the West.

"That's good, let's go, I'll show you where you live."

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Chen!" That's what Le Lianzhou meant, for fear that the mustache would swallow his money and not do anything.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuang took him across the deck and came straight to the front cabin of the ship. Le Lianzhou looked at the two neatly separated cabins, a little unbelievable, "Uncle Chen, can I live here?"

Perhaps because of the influence of American disaster movies, in Le Lianzhou's perception, in all big ships, the higher the cabin, the better and more valuable it is, commonly known as first-class cabin.People at the bottom like him must be squeezed below the deck and wait for the warehouse. Could it be that they spent too much money before?

Chen Shuang looked at the expression of the turkey, "The sailors on the ship, except for a few workers who look at the goods, live in the front cabin. You are lucky, and there is an empty room." Walking to the corner of the first floor, which is triangular because it is next to the ship's side In one place, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the narrow wooden door.

With a "creak", Le Lianzhou looked in, and the excitement that he felt a few seconds ago that he wanted to enjoy the first-class cabin suddenly disappeared.This is exactly an empty room, it is clearly a utility room that is not used at ordinary times!Not even a bed!

"Uncle Chen, this..."

Looking at the corners of Le Lianzhou's mouth froze for a moment, Chen Shuang knew it well, but still smiled like an uncle, walked into the room with a low head, dragged something from the closet and spread it on the floor, "Hey, isn't this Passenger boat, you can make do with your nephew's grievances."

Le Lianzhou took a closer look, and saw that the whole yellowish thing was a bit like a Japanese tatami mat with a moldy point. He glanced at the open cabinet, and there were sheets and quilts stacked together that looked fairly white. He thought, Well, barely able to sleep.Going to the countryside does as the Romans do, and you don't have to pick someone else's boat. This Chen Shuang is not easy to talk to at first sight, and you have to rely on him all the way on the boat, so you don't want to offend him.

Then put away the emotions on his face, and brought out a smile, "Hey, please trouble Uncle Chen! This is very good."

Chen Shuang nodded in satisfaction, and immediately came out with a low body, it seemed that he didn't want to stay in this cramped place for too long.Le Lianzhou quickly followed, and he asked, "Where did my eldest nephew say he was going to get off the boat?"

Le Lianzhou hadn't thought about this question yet, as long as he opened his mouth now, it meant that he had to disembark at the station, so he didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing him hesitating, Chen Shuang laughed again, "You must have run away from home, kid! You don't know anything and just saw the fun of running a boat, didn't you?"

This kind of misunderstanding is actually not bad, Le Lianzhou immediately put on a trace of shame mixed with regret, and pretended to be deep, "Oh, it's hard to explain..." He immediately expressed his determination, "But Uncle Chen is willing to accept me." What’s the matter with my nephew, I’m going to see him.” It means don’t drive me away in a hurry.

"Well, seeing that you are a half-year-old, it is a good thing to come out to exercise. But speaking of it, you will either disembark in the country of Min, or at the most in the country of Yue, and the ship will not be able to keep you in the future."

Le Lianzhou asked with a straight face, "Isn't our boat going all the way to the country of Wa? Why can't we take an extra trip?" Eyeballs rolled, "Of course, the boat fee that should be paid will not be less."

"Why do you ask so many questions? If you can't do it, you can't do it." Chen Shuang's face sank, as if he was not moved by money.Le Lianzhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to say more. At this time, a man in black came out from the third floor of the cockpit at the stern, looked around, and shouted, "Chen Shuang."

Chen Shuang's mustache trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Just stay on the deck, don't run around!" and ran towards the stern.

Heh, I thought the mustache was the biggest on the ship, but it turned out that he was just a servant, and the person who lived on the third floor of the cockpit should be the boss of the ship.But Le Lianzhou didn't want to and was not qualified to know him.Standing at the door of his "room", lying on the side of the boat, staring at the vortex in the water in the distance, thinking about Min, where is the best place to get off the boat.

Here, Chen Shuang trotted all the way up to the stern rudder tower, walked to the man in black, bent over and called out respectfully, "Lord Jin."

Jin Liuba raised his head towards the stern of the boat, "Who is that? It's not like the people on the boat."

"Ah, that's a child from a relative's family who is going to Vietnam to find his father who is doing business abroad, and ask the villain to pick him up."

Although Mr. Jinliu is the biggest one on the boat, Jinliu doesn't follow the boat every time, and this time he came here because of the arrangements from above.And Chen Shuang was in charge of this route for a long time, and the sailors below were all directly dispatched by him. On this ship, it can be said that there is a real response to everyone.There was no need to report to Jinliu, but he happened to see him today, so he made up a reason to fool him.

Of course Jinliu knew about the money transaction involved, but he couldn't offend the old man on board for this matter. He glanced at the bowed man in front of him, and his tone impliedly warned, "No matter who you want to pick up on weekdays, it has nothing to do with me, but this You know it once, just don't give me any trouble, and tell your relative to settle down."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned back into the room, "Come in, this time..."

The sails of the merchant ship were full, and the whole journey was like a giant whale breaking through the waves.At this time, on the official road from Jiangzhou to the border of Min State, Wen Chengyue's legs couldn't relax for a moment, he clamped the horse's belly tightly, and his body was almost attached to the horse's back, like a shooting star passing by.

According to the information from the pier, the merchant ship will dock for the first time at Qiongjiao Town, the largest town on the border between Minguo and Jinyu.Sea voyages rely on the wind to travel day and night non-stop, and walking in a straight line in the water is much closer than he does not know how to wind along the coast.

Wen Chengyue was anxious and angry, this time he will definitely stop being scruples when he is caught, and just tie him up and drag him away!It would be a big deal to be fined with a salary when he went back. Could it be that he was killed for this?

Le Lianzhou had no idea that someone had already completed the short-term plan for him in his heart.Seeing Chen Shuang with the mustache and the man in black shut up in the room as if they were about to have a long talk, he relaxed and wandered around on the deck.

It seems that the real first-class cabin is on the stern rudder. From afar, there are figures walking back and forth on the top floor, which should be the rudder and various nautical instruments.Le Lianzhou marked the stern of the boat as inaccessible in his heart.

I took a closer look at the side where I live, and it really is the place where sailors live. Although the small compartments are much larger than his utility room, and the doors are not triangular, they are all bunks on the upper and lower floors. The kind of men who sleep crowded together is even more terrifying than the male college dormitory.Standing at the door, you can smell the strange smell mixed with various elements.

Well, this time I believe how much Chen Xiaohuzi took care of him by leaving him a "high-end single room", um, the money is not in vain.

Although he really wanted to go below the deck to visit the internal structure of the ancient ship, but when Chen Shuang left, he made it clear that he could only move about on the deck. It was only the first day, so it was better to be honest.

While Le Lianzhou was studying the masts of ancient sailing ships, some idle sailors came over curiously.

"Hey, what's your relationship with Guanshi Chen?"

Le Lianzhou looked away from the sail above his head, standing in front of him was a robust young man in his early twenties, wearing a jacket with bare arms, his skin was tanned by the sun on the sea, his white teeth were quite neat when he smiled, and his face was full of smiles. Simple and honest appearance.

"I'm a distant relative of Chen Guanshi, and my family is doing business in Nanhai." Le Lianzhou also gave the other party a smiley face.

The author has something to say: Wen Chengyue's rough road of chasing his wife for thousands of miles has just begun.

Let's all cry for Xiaogong together...
