East China Sea. As far as the eye can see, there is only a horizontal line, where the sky and the sea meet, clouds and waves gather, and a few satin-like white clouds are suspended in the blue sky. Song Yuzhi stood on the top of the giant ship, spread his hands, closed his eyes, and blew slowly.
The sea breeze was like a pair of warm hands gently stroking her hair and cheeks.
This feeling is like when Le Ye is in a good mood sometimes, he comes close to her and rubs her soft tail gently on her body.
It's itchy and very comfortable.
"Cuckoo~" The girl felt a little strange when she saw the seagulls lingering near the ship but not daring to approach.
"Second Uncle, I see that you often feed the big fish that stay near our ship. Why don't you feed these seabirds? Moreover, I see that they obviously want to get closer, but why don't they get on the ship?" From Lingnan to Daxing City, there is naturally no way.
Take the boat directly there.
Therefore, the Song family's fleet could only go up the East China Sea, and finally reach the Bohai Sea from the outlet of the Yellow River, go upstream, and pass through Taiyuan, Luoyang and other important towns before reaching Daxing.
In some places along the way, it is even necessary to hire trackers to pull boats to land, which is very inconvenient. I heard that Yang Jian is planning to build the North-South Grand Canal. This river requires hundreds of thousands of people, takes about 20 years, and is more than 2,800 meters long.
It connects the three major water systems of the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River.
If this river can really be built, it will be a great contribution to the present and benefit the future. Song Zhi disdained to look at the birds and said with a smile: "Yuzhi, we feed those sharks, dolphins, giant whales and big fish because they can
Help us guard the ship and prevent the birds from coming to dig the ship. As for these birds, they may look pretty good, but they have extremely bad personalities. Except for a few, they will attack you even if you feed them.
It poops on its head. And after pooping, it likes to stand on a high place and laugh at you. When you want to clean it up, it flies away, and then comes back to poop after a while. Some birds even gather together and poop at you in various colors.
Different shit." Song Yuzhi: ... After a moment of silence, the girl asked curiously.
"Second uncle, I don't see those big fish surrounding other boats, so why are there only ours? And don't you think these seabirds are very annoying? Why don't you dare to get close to our boat?" Song Zhi stroked his beard.
, looked up at his little yellow cat flag, and said proudly: "Did you see that mythical beast flag? That is our Song family's guard of honor across the sea. Only a few people in the family know about this. In fact, that flag is used for more than just
It is made of gold thread, and a piece of Le Ye's hair is sewn on it. According to the research of the magicians in the family, this hair has many incredible magical effects, such as attracting giant fish, birds and beasts that drive these seas."
"Oh~" The girl blinked her dark eyes, feeling that she had learned useful knowledge again today.
"Uncle, why don't those birds dare to approach our ship? Aren't they animals too?"
"These things, I have to talk about an incident from the past. A few years ago, Le Ye accompanied us out to sea on a whim. According to the usual practice, our people have been feeding the giant beasts, helping them take care of their bodies, treating their diseases, and eradicating the shells contaminated by them.
, barnacles. When these seabirds came over, they were not stingy about feeding some small fish and shrimps. But that time, when Le Ye was fishing, he finally caught a small fish and was about to celebrate, but the fish came up.
It was taken away by a seagull. It was nothing, but after eating the fish, the seagull came over to provoke me, laughed at me in various ways, and even tried to poop on Mr. Le's head. How can I bear this? From then on, as long as I sing
The Song family’s fleet hangs the divine cat flag, and whenever seagulls get close to the ship, they will suddenly become dizzy and fall directly into the water. So our Song family’s fleet has a rule: seagulls and dogs are not allowed on board!”
When Song Zhi said this, his face was full of pride.
Although he is over thirty years old, every time he talks about the magic of Le Ye, he can talk about it for a long time without stopping at all.
As for the juniors from the side branches, he couldn't reveal too much, and he had been holding it back for a long time. Now he can finally talk about it, and of course he will tell his niece properly.
"Yuzhi, this is not all, let me tell you..."
"Wow~" While the two were talking, a huge whale suddenly jumped out of the water, causing huge waves that even made the giant boat move back.
"Moo moo!" The high splash of water suddenly splashed all over Song Yuzhi's body.
"Le Ye!" The sharp-eyed girl saw the little yellow cat on the head of the whale at a glance and said angrily.
"Meow meow meow~"
"Goose goose~" the little yellow cat and the giant whale screamed happily.
"Second uncle, look at them!" Song Yuzhi stamped her feet anxiously. She did not dare to go down into the bottomless sea.
"God, this is God. Le Ye is the God of the Sea!" The girl turned her head and saw her second uncle looking at the sea with an expression of enthusiasm and mumbling to himself. This is the most faithful worship of believers.
Human beings are in awe of mystery. Looking at the surrounding fleet, many people even knelt down to worship the giant whale and kowtowed heavily.
The gods sent giant whales to protect their safety, and even led the fleet to cut through the waves and return to a safe harbor when a storm came.
Since receiving the blessing of the gods, except for a few really unlucky people in their Song family fleet, such as those who couldn't walk well and fell into the sea and hit the bow of the ship, there have been no casualties due to natural disasters.
Moreover, caring people discovered something magical: when they stayed near Le Ye, they not only practiced martial arts, but also felt much better.
The only drawback may be that Leye is too playful and often likes to tease others. He can't beat him even if he is critical. He will hit you if he scolds you.
This is very uncomfortable.
"Wow~" At the junction of sea and sky, the giant whale leaped high again.
"Poof~" A cluster of tall fog pillars sprayed out from the head of the giant whale. The fog pillar was several feet high, just like there was a fountain on the top of the whale's head.
"Pa~" A big sea turtle was slapped into the air by the giant whale's tail and spun around. Le Ye jumped up high and kicked it, leaving only an afterimage in the sky.
Turtle: ...Goodbye, mom! The sun is setting in the west, and the light of the setting sun reflects on the fog pillar, and a beautiful colorful rainbow appears.
Song Yuzhi watched with gusto. They were having so much fun. If only one day he could travel in the sea and sky at will.
My friends are everywhere in the world, and they are all as carefree as me, and they can play in the mud for a long time.
that would be nice.
"Bah, bah~" Her shoulders sank, and the girl saw Le Ye appear on her shoulder, with a transparent shrimp in his small mouth.
"Le Ye, what are you eating?" Yuzhi asked curiously. Growing up, she had the same strong curiosity as the little yellow cat. No matter what she saw Le Ye eating, drinking or playing, she wanted to
try it.
The little yellow cat paused, turned his head, faced the girl's curious eyes, and opened his mouth.
"Pfft~" He spat water all over her face.
"Ah, Mr. Le, when I finish practicing my spitting magic skill, I want you to look good!" The girl's head was full of water, her face was full of water, and she was extremely angry.
"Meow!" [Little shit shoveler, ridiculous.]...Yangzhou. The two little guys, Xu Ziling and Gao Zhong, looked longingly at the dock in the distance.
As long as people there work hard enough, they can make money. If they have money, they can eat well, wear warm clothes, and have a place to live.
Unlike the two of them, who were fighting every day just to survive. Even if Sister Zhen hadn't been kind and took the opportunity to give them a few buns from time to time, the two brothers would have probably starved to death.
Sister-in-law Zhen was actually a few years older than them. Her name was Wei Zhenzhen, and she was pretty. Because her family owed money and her father regarded wealth as his life, he sold her to Lao Feng, a bun seller at the south gate of Yangzhou City.
Be a concubine.
She was beautiful and kind, and the two brothers always treated her as their mother. Every time they saw Old Feng beating Sister Zhen black and blue for helping them, they both swore: If one day they become successful, they will definitely repay Sister Zhen.
Great kindness and great virtue.
"Hey, Master Ling, why did you bring me here?" Kou Zhong asked curiously. Xu Ziling said complacently: "You don't know this, right? I've asked about it. It's said that the Song family's fleet will be here in the past two days.
If we stay at the dock for a few days, maybe we will have the opportunity to go up there and work for two days. If we are lucky enough to be selected as the long-term workers of the Song family, we will not have to worry about food and drink by then! And we can also learn martial arts!" Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to touch it.
He touched his forehead and said: "Master Ling, are you stupid? Everything on this pier is controlled by the Haisha Gang. They are all good at beating multiple people. We have two small arms and legs.
Yes, let alone work, it would be good if you don't get beaten out. However, it would be really good if you really become a permanent employee of the Song family. Mr. Ling, what do you think?" Although both of them are wandering beggars, there is no delay.
They call each other Master.
In the past few years, there have been news of long-term recruitment of workers at the Song family station at various docks. One is that they can work in Lingnan for a long time and have the opportunity to come back once or twice a year. The other is that they can directly drag their family and move to Lingnan.
It is said that the workers of the Song family are treated much better than ordinary workers, and if they perform well, they will have the opportunity to learn martial arts. The outstanding ones can even learn the sword skills of the most powerful person in the world: the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que.
Those may be legends, but at least what we can see now is that the fleet workers who dock for the Song family are all provided with food, oil, water and pipes. This is a good job that ordinary people cannot get.
Of course, few people would be willing to go to a remote place like Lingnan if they couldn't survive and were forced to do so.
It's so far away that no one would know if he died. Xu Ziling was about to express his thoughts when suddenly.
"Buzz~" A low and melodious horn sounded, and huge ships slowly sailed toward the dock. The giant ships nearly ten feet high, and the surrounding boats were like ants, hurriedly moving away from each other.
Looking at these giant ships, the two brothers stared in disbelief. Is this the strength of the Song family? In the middle of the river, Song Yuzhi looked at the several large ships far away from the fleet with curiosity.
"Second uncle, why are they separated from us?" Song Zhi said with a smile: "Doing business is not what you imagined. Just a route, transporting goods back and forth for buying and selling. Our Song family has business houses all over the world, even across the country.
The distant continent on the sea will also travel once a year. Those few ships are just responsible for the transportation of goods in Yangzhou, so I will let them separate first and then reunite when I go back." Song Yuzhi thought thoughtfully: "Then second uncle, if
Without you in charge, would the people here be bullied? On the way here, didn't you tell me that this place is nominally the territory of the Haisha Gang, but the real controller behind it is actually the Yuwen Clan, one of the four great clans in the world.
."
"Huh, being bullied?" Song Zhi dismissed it: "Niece, you know nothing about your elder brother's power. Let alone Yangzhou, even if our fleet sails to the base camp of the Yuwen clan, the people of the Yuwen family will
Will greet you with a smile. It's not that we do business fairly and are polite to everyone, but what your father did back then!" When talking about his eldest brother, Song Zhi's face was full of pride.
My brother, Heavenly Sword Song Que, is awesome! Song Yuzhi became even more curious.
"What did my father do?" In front of these children, Song Que rarely talked about him. Every time he mentioned the name of the Invincible Heavenly Sword, his father would always look lonely, and he would even sigh from time to time: "That's all.
They are useless, only the way of the sword is eternal. Invincible? Who in the world can be undefeated? Can even Xiang Yutian, the Demon Lord of the Demon Sect who once shattered the void, be able to defeat the eternal time?
""Song Zhi smiled: "I didn't do anything. Nowadays, every one of the famous masters in the world, except for the three great masters, have basically been defeated by your father's sword, including the current Yuwen Clan.
Master: Yuwen Shang. As for the famous master of Yuwen Clan now, he claims to have mastered the unprecedented magical skill: Xuan Bingjin. When the eldest brother was here, he was just a follower standing by. Among them, the elder of the Demon Sect, Bian Fuli, is the most powerful.
, carried three swords. Of course, he was able to carry three swords not because he was powerful, but because the elder brother did not want him to die so quickly. Finally, do you think anyone from the Demon Sect dares to come to our Song family to ask for an explanation?" Song Yuzhi: ...
..So my dad is so powerful?
Turning her head and looking at Le Ye strutting around enjoying the service of several maids, she suddenly understood something.
With such a powerful father, wouldn't it be a loss if her walking manners were different from Le Ye's?
"Think about those days. My eldest brother was really crazy at that time. He challenged people all over the country, including the Demonic Sect, the Taoist Sect, and the Buddhist Sect... It is even said that he even entered the real Buddhist holy land: Cihang Jingzhai, a place where only goddesses live.
, and escaped unscathed. Moreover, the world was really lively at that time. The elders of various sects came out to join in the fun and became the stepping stone for the Undefeated Heavenly Sword. Unlike now, a little brat dares to call himself the Dragon King...
"Song Zhi is known as the Earth Sword. He is usually elegant, easy-going, and a gentleman, but whenever he talks about his eldest brother, he always seems to have endless things to say.
After a while, after he finished complaining, Song Zhi turned around and looked at his niece, ready to ask her what she thought, but then fell silent.
This girl held her head high, walked with a swagger, and looked at people with her chin. Her eyes were cold and sarcastic, which made him have the urge to take action at first glance.
Song Zhi:???Looking at Le Ye in the distance, and then at his little niece, Song Zhi fell into deep thought.
You guys are so awesome, does your brother know?...
