Before evening, Guan Maochun, Wang Pu and Du Shipguan returned.
After boarding the boat, the three of them went to find Chai Yan.
Chai Yan asked: "How is it? Have you contacted someone to replace the mast?"
Du Shipguan immediately said: "Back to Mr. Chai, this afternoon Wang Pu took me to two small docks and a larger dock. Although their people said that it would be no problem to change the mast, they did not have any suitable ones on hand at the moment.
We still have to find the wood, and then we have to work hard to make a new mast."
"No way, these shipyards don't even have the wood stocks for making masts?" Chai Yan was very surprised.
Du Shipguan explained: "Master Chai, it's not surprising that they don't have any inventory. Kuiyang County is just a small county. Most of the ships coming and going here are ordinary. There are very few big official ships like ours."
We are docked here for repairs, and our ship is big and requires a high mast, so ordinary wood cannot be used!"
Chai Yan nodded slightly, and then asked: "How many days will it take from purchasing the appropriate wood to quickly making it and replacing it?"
Du Shipguan had already asked the people at the dock about these details, and said, "Sir, the bigger dock said it would take five or six days at the earliest..."
"Does it take so long?" Chai Yan was very surprised. He thought it could be done within two days.
Du Shipguan explained apologetically: "Master Chai, the masts on our ship are best made of birch or cherry wood, or pine wood, but they don't have the right height, so we have to find it temporarily and spend some time on it."
The most time.”
Chai Yan nodded again to express his understanding, sighed softly and said: "Oh, there is nothing we can do about it... Let's do this, Lao Du, you immediately ask someone to tell the three shipyards and let them help.
, we will look for suitable wood separately, and as for the reward, we will not treat them badly."
"Yes, I understand, I will go and do it now." Du Shipguan agreed, turned around and followed the instructions.
Chai Yan then looked at Guan Maochun and Wang Pu and said, "Maochun, don't be idle. Go hire a carriage immediately to take Wang Pu home."
Wang Pu immediately waved his hand and said: "Master Chai, I have one more request..."
"Say." Chai Yan looked at Wang Pu.
Wang Pu glanced at Guan Maochun and said cautiously: "Master Chai, I have a cruel request. I want to... I want to leave tomorrow morning. I don't know if you can...
Is it allowed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Maochun also said quickly: "Sir, it's already getting late. It's probably not easy to find the carriage at this time. Why don't you let Uncle Wang stay one more night and leave tomorrow morning?"
Chai Yan knew something was strange as soon as he heard it. Although it was almost evening, it was still early before it was already dark, and the city gate didn't close so quickly. Even if he couldn't find the carriage, he could find an ox cart or a donkey cart to get in.
City, time is more than enough.
"Wang Pu, didn't you say that your mother was sick and rushed home? Why are you not in a hurry when you get to the door of your house?" Chai Yan asked, staring at Wang Pu's face.
"This...this..." Wang Pu hesitated and couldn't answer, and he didn't dare to look directly at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan turned to look at Guan Maochun, only to find that Guan Maochun also looked like he had something to say that was difficult to say.
"What are you two hiding from me?" Chai Yan's tone suddenly became more serious.
Wang Pu was thoughtful and could tell instantly that Chai Yan was unhappy and said hurriedly: "Master Chai, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, I... I just want to stay one more night to teach Maochun...
..”
"Teach?" Chai Yan was stunned when he heard the words. He immediately remembered what Hang Baiqiu had said before, and asked, "Teach what?"
Wang Pu lowered his head and said: "The villain...the villain felt that he was destined to Maochun, so...he taught him the technique of hiding the ball..."
Chai Yan suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "He is a martial arts practitioner. He should learn the kung fu of various schools. Why should he learn these things from you? What's the use of learning it? Do you still think so?
Let him work as a cashier and open a gambling house in the future?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean this..." Wang Pu's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "I really don't mean this."
Guan Maochun said quickly: "Sir, I want to learn it myself, so I asked Uncle Wang to teach me. I just think it's fresh and fun, and I have no other ideas."
Upon hearing this, Wang Pu shook his head vigorously again and denied: "No, sir, it's none of Maochun's business. It's all the villain's intention. It's... because Brother Maochun saved the villain and took care of him in every possible way along the way."
, so the villain wants to repay him...but the villain has nothing, only this little skill can be used, so...just...please
Sir, please don’t blame Brother Maochun. If you want to blame, blame the villain, it’s your fault!”
Guan Maochun said anxiously: "Sir, don't believe what Uncle Wang said. Learning a craft is my master..."
"Okay, stop talking!" Chai Yan suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Guan Maochun and Wang Pu immediately did not dare to say anything and stood with their heads lowered.
Chai Yan breathed out and said solemnly: "Whether you want to teach him or he wants to learn from you, I don't care. But there is one thing. If I know that Guan Maochun uses these things in evil ways in the future,
The consequences are very serious!”
Guan Maochun looked nervous and said immediately in fear: "No, sir, I just wanted to do it for fun and I never thought of using it for gambling."
Chai Yan stared at Guan Maochun very seriously for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you! But you must also remember what you said today."
"Remember it, I will definitely remember it." Guan Maochun affirmed.
After a pause, Chai Yan said to Guan Maochun: "Hurry up and hire a car to take Wang Pu home to see my mother. I'll give you a holiday these two days. If you have anything to learn or teach, hurry up and teach it well. The day after tomorrow
If you haven’t come back before noon, just don’t come back and settle down here!”
Guan Maochun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his face became happy, he cupped his hands and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Wang Pu also understood what Chai Yan meant and thanked Chai Yan along with Guan Maochun.
"Okay, okay! Pack your things and leave quickly, otherwise the city gate will really be closed." Chai Yan waved his hand impatiently.
Then, Guan Maochun and Wang Pu ran to the cabin to pack their things.
As soon as the two of them walked away, Hang Baiqiu walked out from the side of the ship and said with a smile: "Look, I was right, Wang Pu taught Guan Maochun his unique skills!"
The moment he saw Hang Baiqiu, the impatient expression immediately disappeared from Chai Yan's face, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sir Hang, why do you always like to eavesdrop on others? This is a bad habit...
....."
"You're so bad!" Hang Baiqiu's smile disappeared instantly.
