The shouts from behind the boat were getting closer and closer, the firelight was getting brighter and brighter, and the shadows of countless boats on the lake could be vaguely seen.
The water pirates attacked and the whole ship became nervous.
Seeing that everyone was nervous, the two arrested people calmed down. At this moment, they looked arrogant and said coldly: "If you want to survive, let us go quickly!"
Qin Sang gave him a cold glare. The two of them were afraid of his force and said no more.
Qin Sang looked at Xia Shang again, only to see that he had been looking at the sky without any movement. The worries of the boat people and the approaching shouts seemed not to be in his mind.
"Master, how should we deal with this?" Qin Sang couldn't help but ask.
"Is it the fourth update now?"
Qin Sang nodded.
Xia Shang said quietly: "It's almost done."
Everyone was confused and looked at the sky. They saw nothing but stars and the bright moon. What on earth were they looking at?
Looking at the starry sky tonight, the Big Dipper and the North Star are far away. The seven stars are bright and the North Pole is dark. Suddenly there are clouds and the bright moon comes in. When the night light dims, the brilliance of the Big Dipper gradually fades, but the Big Dipper is extremely dazzling.
At this time, Xia Shang gently shook his folding fan and shouted: "The wind is coming!"
This shocking statement startled everyone.
Opposite him, Ye Bin sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost! I still don't believe you can really fan out to the southeast..."
Before he finished speaking, the moonlight between the sky and the earth was gone, the sky was dark, and the sound of "whirring" wind gradually sounded, as if the night wind suddenly became much fiercer. On the calm lake, the waves gradually rose, and the sparkling water waves accumulated into waves, and even the boats followed them.
Get far away.
During the swing, the boat boss looked at the sky and said to himself: "I have been sailing on Taihu Lake for decades, and I have never seen such weather that changes at any time. Where does this evil wind come from?"
Ye Bin suddenly said in shock: "Look over there."
Ye Bin was pointing to where the wind flag was at the stern of the boat. The wind flag was swinging in the opposite direction to the previous one, and the place it was pointing to was consistent with the direction of the boat.
Southeast wind!
"The wind is really blowing from the southeast!"
A southeasterly wind blew up, whistling the sails. Xia Shang's ship took advantage of the wind, and its speed increased sharply.
The water pirates who followed were all in small boats without sails. No matter how strong the wind was, the wind power they could draw on was limited.
Soon, the speed of the big ship reached its extreme, the sparks at the stern became smaller and smaller, and the shouts became more and more blurred. There was no movement at all, but the danger was left behind.
At this moment, everyone on the boat could not describe how shocked they were.
Previously, in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, a southeasterly wind blew up just by shaking the folding fan. This was seen by everyone with their own eyes!
Who could have imagined that humans have such supernatural powers?
But the facts are right in front of us, so how can we explain them?
Among everyone, the two people who were most shocked were the two people who were captured.
These two people have lived on Taihu Lake all year round and know the climate of Taihu Lake well, but they have never encountered such changes. They really can't believe it is a coincidence and can only attribute it to the work of that fan.
"How exactly is it done?"
This is what everyone is surprised about.
Xia Shang smiled and waved his fan: "I want to know where the east wind comes from?"
"Yeah." The girls all nodded seriously.
"Then please look forward to my master's new masterpiece "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Please read how Kong Ming borrowed the east wind in the book."
"Um?"
A group of people were all confused and had no idea what Xia Shang meant.
Xia Shang stopped explaining and went to the cabin.
Entering the cabin, Xia Shang first lit the oil lamp.
The boat was swaying, the wick was unstable, and a slender hand gently closed the small window in the cabin.
Then Ruyan came in: "It's already late at night, why don't you, husband, go to bed?"
"Everything will come true tonight with the help of the east wind. I am always a little successful. I am so excited that it is difficult to fall asleep."
After hearing this, Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled, "My husband can deceive them, but he cannot deceive me. I have long heard that powerful people have the ability to observe stars at night and master wind and rain. Although I have never seen it, since you have seen it,
My husband always pays attention to the stars, and he must have expected that there will be a southeast wind tonight. It is a bit redundant to pretend to be a ghost, but my husband's ability makes me admire you."
"There is no need to be self-effacing. You are the only one among everyone who knows the meaning of astrology, which shows that you are also an extraordinary person."
"But which "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is my husband talking about? There are still many regrets in the previous "Dream of Red Mansions". Is it possible that my husband is planning to publish a new work?"
“I don’t want to write ‘A Dream of Red Mansions’, but I can work on ‘The Romance of the Three Kingdoms’.”
"Let's do it?" Ruyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "My husband can make all the daughters of the world love and hate him by just doing whatever he wants. How many literary works are there in my husband's belly? You have to tell those stories to make me wait for my daughter.
Haunted by dreams?"
"The Three Kingdoms are different, that's for men."
"My husband is so bad. He cheated our daughter, so he wants to cheat a man again?"
"This is not called a trap, this is called artistic processing and creating suspense!"
"I am not arguing with my husband, but I am wondering if my husband can finish writing "Dream of Red Mansions". Can I at least let me hear how it ends?"
"Good things will become bad once they are perfected, so it's better not to know."
Ru Yan could not get Xia Shang to reveal the slightest bit despite all the hard work, which made the girl pouted with a resentful look on her face. Unfortunately, the light in the cabin was dim and she could not clearly see the peerless elegance of Ru Yan at this moment.
After chatting a few words casually with Ruyan, Xia Shang gradually felt tired.
Just as I was about to go to bed, I suddenly heard a few muffled "thump, thump, thump" sounds outside, as if something had penetrated the wooden board.
The sound was normal, but Xia Shang felt something was wrong, so he went out of the cabin with a light to take a look.
At this moment, all the girls on the boat had gone to bed, and there was no one else on the deck except a guarding man and the two people who were tied up.
Xia Shang walked over and asked, "Did you hear anything before?"
The guard nodded: "There is indeed another string of strange noises."
Xia Shang frowned: "Where did it come from?"
The guard shook his head.
But the boss of the ship suddenly said: "It seems that the wooden planks of the body are nailed by something."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure! This is my ship, I know it very well."
"Where?"
"Let me go and I'll take you to see it. Don't worry, this is my boat. I don't want anything to go wrong with my boat."
Xia Shang thought for a while and said to the guard: "Untie him."
"yes!"
After releasing the boss of the ship, the other party first flexed his tibia, and then took Xia Shang to the side of the ship. He then held up an oil lamp and examined the ship inch by inch along the way.
It's dark now, visibility is limited, and there's nothing but darkness.
Xia Shang was a little impatient: "Are you not sure?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss of the boat suddenly jumped up, climbed over the side of the boat and jumped directly into the lake.
"Oh shit!"
Xia Shang cursed and then let out a light sigh.
"Um?"
The boat was not high, and even after the captain jumped off, he could not hear the sound of water.
Suddenly, a scream came from below!
"ah!"
Suddenly a spherical object was thrown from below and rolled directly onto the deck.
The guard hurriedly ran over to take a look. This sight made the tall and thick man turn pale with fright. He pointed at the object and could not say a word.
Xia Shang also followed and gasped when he saw it.
It turns out that the ball-shaped object turned out to be the head of the boss of the ship! (To be continued)
