After Hang Baiqiu made things difficult this time, Wang Pu immediately became famous on the ship.
Cang Tou and the handymen were also very polite to Wang Pu. Some even secretly approached Wang Pu and offered him benefits, hoping to learn a few tricks from him and hope to dominate the gambling table in the future.
But in the end, those who came were cleverly blocked by Wang Pu. The reason was that if you want to learn from him, you can, but you have to leave your job and join his disciple to concentrate on learning, and wait for three years to do menial work under his disciple.
Only after hard work can you be qualified to study.
The wages of errands on official ships are not low. Cangtou's monthly income is higher than that of a yamen servant, and it is also very stable. It is difficult for ordinary people to squeeze in.
So as soon as Wang Pu's conditions were laid out, those who had ideas immediately gave up their thoughts and were no longer interested in talking to Wang Pu about this matter.
Time passes very quickly, it is already the third day since we left Yaozhou Pier.
As soon as he got up early in the morning, Chai Yan went to the deck, breathing fresh air and stretching his limbs.
It happened that Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu also came to the deck. After saying hello, the three of them started chatting.
The content of the conversation had no theme at first. Later, Chai Yan suddenly felt that he had not seen Guan Maochun much in the past few days, so he asked the two of them: "By the way, what has Guan Maochun been doing these days? He usually makes trouble, so why has he been so troublesome recently?
Don’t you see anyone?”
Cheng Jiu shook his head and smiled, glanced at Ge Hong and said: "Sir, you don't know, these days he always stays with Wang Pu, and they stay together, always closing the door and muttering, don't know
What are you talking about, so speculative?"
"Oh? Is this the case?" Chai Yan frowned slightly.
Ge Hong knew what Chai Yan was worried about and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, sir. I asked Maochun last night, and he also promised me that being with Wang Pu has absolutely nothing to do with gambling."
When Chai Yan heard what Ge Hong said, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you, Lao Ge, are watching over me, I feel relieved."
After chatting for a while, Chai Yan suddenly counted the time and said, "After all, we should be arriving in Kuiyang County today, right?"
Ge Hong nodded and said: "Yes, sir, I asked Shipmaster Du before and he said that if everything goes well, he will arrive in the evening."
"Is that so..." Chai Yan asked, "Do you want to rest one night at Kuiyang County Pier?"
Ge Hong shook his head and said: "Guan Du said there is no need. Everything on the ship is complete and we won't need to stop at the dock for purchase in a few days."
While we were chatting about the details of our itinerary, a dark rain cloud appeared in the distance in the sky.
After a while, the raindrops began to fall, followed by rolling thunder, so the three people quickly retreated to the cabin to hide from the rain.
During the thunderstorm, the official ship continued to move forward and was not affected by the rain.
In the large cabin on the first floor, the four brothers Ge Hong, except Guan Maochun, were chatting with the Cangtou people. Sometimes they were talking about their experiences on the battlefield, and sometimes they were talking about the deeds of suppressing bandits in Lintai Mountain. In short, the topics continued.
It seems like we can never finish talking.
Chai Yan didn't like an environment that was too noisy and noisy, so he stayed alone in the cabin on the second floor, sometimes reading two-line books, sometimes feeling sleepy, sometimes bickering with Guan Peining, and the time passed.
Some.
After a while, light footsteps came from outside. Chai Yan turned around and saw that it was Hang Baiqiu who was here.
"Why are you here?" Chai Yan asked, holding the book.
"Nothing to do, just wander around..."
While talking, Hang Baiqiu walked up to Chai Yan. He smiled as soon as he stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Isn't this obvious enough? I'm reading a book to learn knowledge!" When he said this, Chai Yan even shook the book.
Hang Baiqiu smiled happily, glanced at the book in Chai Yan's hand, and said: "Our Lord Chai, Lord Chai, is really talented. He always reads books backwards! Awesome, awesome...
."
Chai Yan was stunned and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the book in his hand. He really held it upside down.
"Hehehe..." Chai Yan immediately let out an awkward laugh.
Hang Baiqiu also smiled even happier.
After laughing, Hang Baiqiu asked: "By the way, do you know what Guan Maochun and that Wang Pu are doing recently?"
"I don't know..." Chai Yan shook his head and then asked: "You know?"
Suddenly, Hang Baiqiu's expression took on a mysterious color and he said, "Have you heard? Many people on the ship want to learn from Wang Pu his unique skills."
"Of course I heard about it, but who on the ship would agree to Wang Puti's conditions?" Chai Yan said.
Hang Baiqiu shook his head: "That's not what I want to say..."
After a pause, Hang Baiqiu continued: "What I want to say is that during these three days, Wang Pu was probably teaching Guan Maochun's skills!"
"Ah?" Chai Yan was very surprised and exclaimed: "You mean, Wang Pu is teaching Guan Maochun the technique of hiding small balls?"
Hang Baiqiu looked serious and nodded solemnly.
Chai Yan thought for a while and asked, "How did you know?"
Hang Baiqiu said seriously: "A few times when I passed Guan Maochun's cabin, I heard the sound of clinking porcelain inside. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then one time I actually heard Wang Pu cursing inside. He
He is scolding Guan Maochun for being stupid, and he is also a little angry, just like a master teaching his disciples! That’s why I am sure that Wang Pu has been teaching Guan Maochun these three days!"
After thinking about it carefully, Chai Yan felt that this was indeed a possibility. He immediately slapped the table in displeasure and said, "Hey! This Wang Pu is really good. He took his apprentice away after just a smooth sailing! Hehe...
..”
Hang Baiqiu originally thought that Chai Yan would ask Wang Pu to come over and ask him carefully, but who knew that there would be no more words after Chai Yan said this.
Hang Baiqiu didn't understand very much, so he asked, "Why don't you ask Wang Pu to come over and ask?"
Chai Yan slowly shook his head and said: "There's no need, just let them go. It's right to find something to do along the way."
"Aren't you worried that Guan Maochun will learn his tricks and run into gambling houses all day long?" Hang Baiqiu looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
Chai Yan shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips and said: "I'm not his father, why do I care so much? Anyway, I have already said that I don't like their gambling. If they don't want to listen, I can't help it! Anyway, it will happen in the future.
Problems and situations are at your own risk!"
"You are really big-hearted..." Hang Baiqiu shook his head and was speechless.
Suddenly, there was a "crack" of thunder, and the sound seemed to be close to the heads of Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu.
"Ah!" Along with the thunder, Hang Baiqiu's scream also rang out.
Chai Yan was really startled, shook his head and exhaled several times.
Immediately afterwards, the two heard a man running on the first floor shouting: "Oh no, the mast has been struck by lightning!"
Chai Yan was immediately shocked and blurted out: "Damn it, I'm not pretending, why are you attacking us?"

PS: After watching the movie, "Frozen 2" is generally good, with gorgeous special effects and rich details, but it doesn't have the catchy songs like "Let It Go", making it difficult to surpass the first movie.
..... However, my daughter said it was very beautiful and wanted to use it again, hahaha...
