Du Kang held an umbrella and walked in the dusk rain. The person leading the way was a tall Zi She. The two of them came one after another to the agreed meeting place outside the city.
This place is already a small tributary of the Canglan River five miles south of the city. The busy main river has been left behind. On this rainy day with sparse pedestrians, only a deserted small pier can be seen by the river.
It seems simple, but the thick timbers driven deep into the river bottom, and the crossbars and planks laid on them make this wharf look sturdy and durable.
From a distance, you can see a short, stocky man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, leaning against the wooden piles of the pier and smoking a dry cigarette in boredom, as if he is waiting for someone.
"Sir, this is the person who sent us the message. This time we are going to see the boat. He will take us on the boat."
Zi She turned around and said to Du Kang.
"No, you are taking me alone. Just send me here. Go back now."
Although the price of the goods in this kind of transaction introduced by the black market will be relatively cheap, most of the sources of goods have some problems. It is a high-risk transaction and is not suitable for being a burden.
"As you command!"
Zi Snake is a well-behaved subordinate who only obeys orders. He never questions the orders of his superiors. After bowing, he returns directly along the original path without hesitation.
The man waiting for someone in the distance noticed the movement here, put away the dry smoke, held a knife and retreated a distance, standing on the edge of the pier, as if he would immediately jump into the river to escape if something went wrong.
Du Kang walked on the muddy road, and when he reached the dock slowly, he looked at the man and asked.
"Are you from the junk shop? I made an appointment to see the boat."
"Why did the person we originally connected with leave halfway?" the man asked, holding the unsheathed knife at his waist tightly.
"He is only responsible for the connection. I can decide on matters concerning the ship alone."
This change in the transaction seemed to be something that the man had not expected in advance. After watching Du Kang for a long time, he jumped on his knees and fell into a awning boat in the river behind him. He raised a paddle and said to Du Kang.
"My surname is Lin. Guests can call me Lao Lin. Come on board the boat together and I will take you to meet the seller. As agreed in advance, if the sale is successful, my family will be given two thousand taels, and even if the sale fails, I will be given five hundred taels."
Du Kang also jumped into the boat, threw five taels of gold to the man, and got into the canopy of the boat.
"It turns out that we are from the same family, and my surname is Lin. Don't worry, you will not be short of money. If the business is successful, it will not be a problem to send you a separate red envelope."
"That's the good news from Boss Chenglin. Please sit tight, we'll set sail right now."
Lao Lin didn't ask anything about the red envelope Du Kang mentioned. He was obviously a seasoned person and knew that if he wanted to live longer in the world, the first thing he had to do was to put away his greed.
The oar swayed at the stern, breaking up the ripples caused by the raindrops on the river. The awning boat swayed downstream along the river.
Du Kang sat in the boat canopy, took out the jade-necked wine bottle and drank alone, enjoying the rare rainy day, the boat, and the boatman's leisure time.
The river section where Du Kang boarded the boat was not far from the Canglan River. After the boat sailed for a while, the river suddenly widened and merged into the Canglan River, which was still busy even on rainy days.
In the crowded river, small boats also have their own advantages. Thanks to Lao Lin's boating skills of squeezing left and right, the awning boat quickly crossed the wide river and arrived in front of a large pier on the other side.
Canglan City is located on the west bank of the Canglan River. On the east bank, there is only a rocky beach and rolling cliffs with few people visiting it. However, there are also several flat areas along the river where docks have been built, and Du Kang is visiting one of them now.
Boom!
The awning boat hit the low wooden piles and stopped its forward momentum.
Lao Lin threw the hemp rope of the awning boat directly into the hands of the dock workers who had been waiting here and asked them to fix the boat. Then he stepped on the soft wooden boards eroded by the river water and wind and rain, and headed not far away with Du Kang.
A three-masted sailboat docked.
The ship is about ten feet long, with three tall masts standing at the front, middle and rear sections of the ship. The sails have all been lowered, and the hull made of iron star wood shows no trace of wind and frost at all, giving off a solid atmosphere.
.
There was a long wooden board leaning between the sailboat and the dock. Du Kang followed Lao Lin and stepped on the wooden board onto the deck. Before he had time to observe the structural layout of the ship, he saw a familiar figure standing on the bow.
This man was short and chubby, a dark middle-aged man wearing a uniform, with a bright smile on his face. He was clearly Gong Cancan, who almost became Du Kang's cheap son.
Gong Cancan was also stunned when he saw Du Kang. Apparently he did not expect that the buyer of this business introduced through an intermediary would be an acquaintance.
"It is said that we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. It seems that my family and Boss Lin have decided on this business."
"Perhaps it was because we were not destined to meet each other last time, so God brought us together again this time."
Du Kang bypassed the middlemen who were preparing to introduce each other and directly held Gong Cancan's hand.
He couldn't help but be excited. The last time they met, Gong Cancan offered 90,000 taels of silver, but this time the middleman introduced the seller's base price to 80,000 taels in advance.
The price reduction of 10,000 taels made Du Kang look at Gong Cancan even more eagerly.
At this time, behind Gong Cancan, some discerning subordinates walked up to Du Kang and held up a big umbrella to shield him from the drizzle on his head.
Old Lin on the side was anxious.
He didn't expect that the two families knew each other in advance. It would be better if the deal didn't go through. If it did, if the two families didn't recognize the account introduced by the middleman, wouldn't the grocery store have lost 1,500 taels of silver? He immediately coughed.
vocal tract.
"Boss, you still remember the agreement we made in advance."
Gong Cancan looked at Du Kang. The money given to the middleman was paid by the buyer, so he would naturally have no objection.
"I, Lin Chun, have always been very particular about credibility when doing business. If I finally buy this boat, I will definitely not forget the hard work of my eldest brother."
"I hope Boss Lin is true to his word. If you leave our sundry shop and secretly close the deal afterwards, our family will not be bullied."
Lao Lin thought about the strength of these two families for a while. One of them only had one mid-level monk who was about to die of old age. Although the other one was mysterious, it looked like he had just moved to Canglan City.
Just thinking of the strict family rules and severe punishment for incompetence, Lao Lin gritted his teeth and said these words, which immediately made the scene cold.
"Lao Lin is such a straight-laced person. I like this kind of temperament."
Du Kang laughed a few times and patted Lao Lin on the shoulder, wanting to see how strong the person who threatened him was.
【Name】:Lin Kuohai

Du Kang, who glanced at the panel, smiled even more happily. Gong Cancan also laughed in response. The cheerful laughter echoed on the ship, which made Lin Kuohai feel cold and realized that he might have kicked the iron plate.
.
In the end, it was Gong Cancan who took the lead to calm down the atmosphere.
"It's getting late and it's getting dark. Let me take Boss Lin around the ship and introduce him to my family's treasure ship."
"That's exactly what I meant."
The two of them, surrounded by the crew behind Gong Cancan, walked into the ship. Lin Kuohai, who was left alone, also followed directly. He also wanted to keep an eye on this business for the utility store.
Next, Du Kang wandered around the boat under the leadership of Gong Cancan.
As Du Kang saw before boarding the ship, this three-masted sea-going ship was made entirely of iron star wood. It was an ocean-going ship with three tall masts slightly tilted at both ends.
In the middle of the ship is a cabin that is higher than the deck. The room with the best view is the ship's control room. Behind it is a large cabin where the crew rests.
The lower cabin can also be entered through a spiral staircase. The spacious space inside can be used to hold a large amount of cargo, or to store a large amount of fresh water and food for long-distance sailing. It is a common long-distance sailing ship structure on the blue sea.
By the time Gong Cancan reached the boat from beginning to end, the sky was completely dark.
Du Kang was extremely satisfied on the whole. First of all, he didn't know whether it was because the ship made of iron star wood was really not easily damaged, or because it was treated with great care during use. This ship didn't look like an old ship at all, and the main body of the ship had no impact wear at all.
trace.
Du Kang secretly believed that it was the sea monster from Blackwood Island who cleared the way for the ship to sail away, so that the ship didn't look like it had experienced a battle at all.
Secondly, Gong Cancan said that as long as he could increase the price by 6,000 taels, he could package the more than 20 crew members on the ship and sell them to him. This was also good news for Du Kang, who had no manpower to go to sea.
Of course, the heartbeat is heartbeat, but the final transaction price still needs to be negotiated again.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two simply had a fish feast on the deck, admiring the prosperous scenery on the other side of the river while discussing business, but they got sidetracked while chatting about the painting style.
"Boss Lin, since our last farewell, my mother has still mentioned you from time to time. Do you really not want to consider becoming my adoptive father? When the time comes, this ship will be yours for free."
"Your Majesty is indeed stunningly beautiful. But Lin Chun is a strong man. He was born with a stomach made of steel. He was not born to eat soft food. I cannot agree to this."
Du Kang didn't want to have anything to do with the women on Heimu Island.
During this time, Du Kang was not in vain in Canglan City. It is said that the island owners of Heimu Island still retain the custom of burial. Du Kang was worried that after eating this bowl of soft rice, the already dead Hei Rulan would be buried.
Sometimes I think about letting him be buried with him.
"It's such a pity that we can't be a family..."
Gong Cancan sighed. Du Kang didn't know that Gong Cancan was indeed feeling sorry for Du Kang's inability to follow Miss Sixteen to the end of time. If he knew this, he would be even more grateful for his original choice.
Just as he was about to change the topic, Du Kang suddenly noticed that several small boats with lights on the river were surrounding the pier.
This made Du Kang's vigilant heart instantly rise. As he concentrated his attention, the faint sounds in the pier on the shore that had been ignored before became clear to his ears.
His spiritual eyes immediately opened, and he saw hundreds of pale spiritual lights scattered around the dim dock, surrounding the boat under Du Kang's feet. He looked at Gong Cancan, who also noticed the movement, and asked tentatively.
"Master Gong, are these the same friends you invited to see the ship?"
"I'm afraid we are enemies rather than friends. This matter should have nothing to do with Boss Lin. I am the one who has caused you trouble. If there is a fight later, please put your life first. If you can escape with your life, I will talk to Boss Lin."
Let’s drink together.”
Gong Cancan stood up, still smiling, and turned back to the crew member who had been waiting behind him and said again.
"You guys should hide in the cabin. The wind and waves will be strong soon and it won't be safe to stand on the deck."
After the crew members all walked back to the cabin in panic, he took a few steps to the bow and looked into the darkness.
"I don't know if any of the members of the Bai family are here. This little merchant ship of my family has done something wrong. They want to send white-bone demon soldiers to surround the ship."
"The people of Heimu Island are on alert. Don't think about pretending to be stupid. Since you have exposed your flaws, there is no way you can get out of Canglan City alive today."
There were sounds echoing in the darkness, but no one could be seen making the sound. Only pale skeletons were ignited with pale flames, revealing all the figures that had been hidden in the darkness.
Suddenly, people standing on the boat, people swimming in the water, and skeleton demon soldiers surrounding the dock side surrounded the boat.
In Du Kangling's eyes, these demon soldiers seemed dead but not alive, and their breath was extremely weak, making it difficult to distinguish them in the spring rain. This was the main reason why he and Gong Cancan were silently surrounded.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They are not living creatures in the strict sense.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several bone demon soldiers who were close to the ship had just jumped onto the deck. Gong Cancan waved his hand, and several strong winds came out of thin air. The few bone demon soldiers that had not yet stood firm were blown away into a pile of scattered pieces.
Bones, blown into the sea.
Through their empty eye sockets, you can see that the burning flames in their skulls have been completely blown out. To the real masters, these low-level demon soldiers are just some miscellaneous soldiers who need to be cleared away with great effort.
"It's actually a big fish. With such a strong wind control ability, you must be a guard of Blackwood Island."
Boom!
There was only a dull sound of landing, and three bone demon soldiers that were different from other skeletons landed and jumped to the deck at the same time.
There are two thick horns on the top of the head, and the skull has also transformed into a weird half-ox, half-human form. The human torso bones, huge bony ox hooves, and the small ox tail bone behind them make these three demon soldiers seem to have been stripped off.
A tauren with only bones left in his body.
They rushed forward with various weapons made of white bones, and fought together with Gong Cancan. Gong Cancan's indestructible body made a dull sound of gold and iron clashing under the joint attack of the two demon soldiers.
Boom! Boom! Snap! Click!
The hard deck made of iron star wood was broken into holes one after another in the aftermath of their battle. Through the holes, one could see the dark cabin below.
This made Du Kang secretly say that it was a big risk. After all, he almost bought the ship just now. If he had paid earlier, the loss now would be his.
However, he still couldn't figure out why he was involved in this incident for no reason when he was just here to discuss a business deal.
Dodging the bone hammer of the minotaur in front of him, Du Kang wanted to talk to the Bai family and explain that he was just an innocent person who had been harmed by Chi Yu.
"Uncle of the Bai family, I'm just here to discuss the matter of buying a boat. I have nothing to do with Blackwood Island. Can you let me leave here? I will definitely visit you one day with a generous gift and explain today's misunderstanding."
There was no response for a long time in the darkness, but the attack of the minotaur in front of him became more and more fierce.
This situation was the last thing Du Kang wanted to see. He sighed, and a vine immediately shot out from the iron star wooden deck and wrapped around the tauren's bone ankle.
The information about the Bone Demon Soldier appears on the panel.
