Chapter 1171
Seeing Xiao Dong staring at him, Li Qiufeng knew that this man was suspicious of him, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I just learned some three-legged cat kung fu by chance. Didn't I have any martial arts master as my teacher?"
Xiao Dong shook his head and said: "Your internal strength is amazing. If you are not a master, you will never be able to train such an outstanding disciple. You have such martial arts, but you are so young. I think you must be a great master in the world."
A great master. Our trip to sea this time has a lot to do with it. Please tell me the origin of our master so that I can feel at ease."
When Li Qiufeng saw Xiao Dong speaking, he clenched his hands into fists and stood upright, ready to attack and hurt someone at any time. He knew that he had just hit the mast with his palm, showing his deep inner strength. Xiao Dong was heartbroken.
He became suspicious and thought that he was hiding his martial arts and had other agendas. Li Qiufeng was not afraid of Xiao Dong, but he just didn't want to cause a conflict with Xiao Dong and miss his plan to go to Fusang. So he thought for a moment and then said
: "In my next life, I lived in Shu and made a living by selling Shu brocade. In order to protect themselves, my ancestors spent a lot of money to hire several hermits to teach the people martial arts. I have learned some rudimentary kung fu from my father since I was a child, but I was limited by my talent.
I didn’t get a glimpse of the profound martial arts, but I taught Master Xiao how to make a fool of myself.”
When Xiao Dong heard Li Qiufeng say that he was practicing martial arts passed down from his family, he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't want to go into details. He could only smile and said: "I see. I never thought that among us, there would be someone like you."
A master of martial arts. With Your Excellency helping me on this trip, why worry about everything going wrong?"
At this time, Zhang Shi had already walked to the bow of the ship. Hearing Xiao Dong's strange words, he knew that he was not at ease with Li Qiufeng. Zhang Shi was afraid of a conflict between the two, so he hurriedly walked to Xiao Dong, raised his hands and said, "Master Xiao, this
Brother Zhu is here to help me, you two need to get closer and closer."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone trembling: "I, I must have arrived in the underworld..."
Li Qiufeng and others looked for their voice and saw Shopkeeper Song crawling out of the cabin. He was all wet and looking at everyone with a blank expression. Shopkeeper Yin, who was standing next to the cabin, hurriedly pulled him up and said
: "Old Song, don't talk nonsense. We have escaped the disaster, so you brother can just enjoy it secretly."
Qin Laowu tied up the sail rope and said with a gloomy face: "Shop Manager Yin, we can't say that we have escaped this catastrophe. Whether we can escape depends on whether God is willing to let us go."
After he finished speaking, he ordered several boatmen to inspect the ship, and fetched the compass and chart, and watched them carefully with Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu. The three of them discussed quietly for a while, but their expressions were not very good.
Xiao Dong stood aside and saw that the three people had different expressions. He couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper Hu, is there something wrong?"
Shopkeeper Hu looked embarrassed and opened his mouth, but no words came out. After a moment, he raised his hands and said: "Master Xiao, we were just hit by a big wave and have deviated from the channel. Now we are drifting north. The mast of the big ship
We have been cut off, and it is impossible to even think about sailing east to Fuso Kingdom. But if we turn around and head west, we can only sail to the border of Shandong. If the Imperial Japanese Army in Shandong sees us, they will have to board the ship to search, so
We can't land in the west. If we want to return to Ningbo, we don't know whether the big explosion at sea will happen again. We just escaped by chance, but if we encounter it again, we will definitely be unlucky. So to say it, right now we only have
There is a way to the north."
Xiao Dong was startled and said: "To the north? Isn't that getting further and further away from Fusang?"
Shopkeeper Hu looked embarrassed and nodded, saying: "That's right. But according to the ship boss, if we go north, we can find a dock to berth in Liaodong, repair the big ship, and then go south along the Korean coast, or we can go to Fusang.
If we don't delay on the way, we won't be delayed for more than a few days."
After Xiao Dong heard what Shopkeeper Hu said, he kept silent, with a gloomy expression on his face. Qin Laowu said at the side: "Master Xiao, I heard from my senior that it is more expensive to go from Liaodong to Fusang along the Korean coast than from Liaodong to Fusang."
It is faster and faster to go from Ningbo to Fusang. Moreover, the sea restrictions in Liaodong are relaxed, so we can go south confidently and boldly without having to hide. In this way, it will only be a few days later than starting from Ningbo."
Xiao Dong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "In this case, we have no choice but to go to Liaodong first and then go south."
After everyone made an agreement, they returned to their respective cabins and changed their clothes. Although the disaster just now was extremely thrilling, there were no casualties, and the cabin where the cargo was placed did not get flooded. Therefore, everyone secretly said it was a fluke and waited for the change.
After putting on clean clothes, I no longer felt panic or panic.
After that, the big ship sailed all the way north. After more than ten days, it finally saw the place where the sea and the sky meet in the north, and the shadows of the mountains were vaguely visible. Everyone gathered on the bow of the ship and couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw land in sight.
Qin Laowu and several boatmen steered the big boat and sailed straight towards the land. However, although it seemed that the distance was not far away, the big boat traveled for five hours before reaching a shallow sea not far from the land. Several small boats were approaching
While fishing at sea, when they saw the big boat approaching, the fishermen on the boat were a little panicked. Qin Laowu stood on the bow of the boat and bowed to the fishermen repeatedly. He only said that the big boat encountered a strong wind at sea, deviated from the seaway, and drifted here. The strong wind blew
The mast of the ship was broken, and it must be repaired as soon as possible before we can return to our hometown. But we don’t know which prefecture and county this place is under, and where there is a dock to berth. An old man said: "Our place is under the jurisdiction of Dongliao County.
Not far to the east, there is a pier. If you want to repair the ship, you can go to the pier to find a craftsman for help."
When the old man said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Qin Laowu carefully, and then said: "However, the Japanese pirates have been very active in the past two years. Our counties along the Liaodong coast have conducted very strict searches on ships coming from the sea. If you are
Without a guide, I am afraid that I will be arrested by the government as soon as I land, and I will be tortured and beheaded by the Yamen."
Qin Laowu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice. I am deeply grateful."
After the fishing boat left, Qin Laowu turned around and said to Xiao Dong, Shopkeeper Hu and others: "The little man has a road guide on his body. I wonder if all the adults and shopkeepers have this?"
Shopkeeper Hu and others all said that they had led the way. Xiao Dong snorted and said, "I have the Criminal Department Kanhe on me. Which official in the world dares to stop me?"
Qin Laowu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is the best. I heard that the people in Liaodong are fierce, so we must be careful."
The two boatmen turned the sails, and the big ship slowly turned eastward. At first, there were only sparse houses on the shore. After traveling for more than ten miles, there were gradually more houses. There were also more and more fishing boats on the sea.
The fishermen on the big boat and the fishing boat that everyone was riding on all showed frightened expressions.
After walking for more than thirty miles, the sky gradually darkened, but I saw a few lights not far away. I guess it was not far from the pier. Everyone gathered at the bow of the boat, feeling quite excited. Since leaving Ningbo,
After drifting on the sea for more than twenty days, what they saw every day was the boundless sea. At this time, they finally arrived at the dock and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The big ship traveled for more than half an hour and finally entered the pier. The pier was not big, with only three or four small wooden boats parked there. There were more than a dozen tall poles standing along the shore, and large lanterns were hung on the tops of the poles, illuminating the pier.
The sea in front of me. When pedestrians on the shore saw the big ship coming, they all stood on the shore and pointed. Qin Laowu directed the boatman to lower the anchor, and the big ship slowly approached the shore and stopped slowly.
Qin Laowu turned around and said to everyone: "I am going to the shore to find a craftsman to repair the mast. If you have nothing to do, please rest on the boat."
Qin Laowu had just finished speaking, but he heard Shopkeeper Yin say: "We have lived on the boat for more than twenty days, and we are already very tired of it. If we stay on the boat any longer, I'm afraid we will go crazy." After he said this, he turned around to look.
Looking at Shopkeeper Hu and others, he continued: "No matter what your plans are, I must go to the shore for a walk."
Shopkeepers Hu and others, as well as Shopkeeper Yin, were thinking the same thing, so they nodded one after another. Qin Laowu had no choice but to say to everyone: "Since all shopkeepers want to go to the shore, you must be careful not to go too far. We are here.
, I’m not familiar with this place, and once I get into trouble, I can’t get away easily.”
Shopkeeper Hu and others were noisy, saying that Qin Laowu was too careful. Xiao Dong was silent, standing aside thoughtfully. Qin Laowu ordered several boatmen to guard the big boat, and then put down the planks.
, then he had to take everyone off the boat and ashore.
