The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun's boat was guarded by a boatman at night. Mingzhou is not far away, and Zhong Qiyun is still familiar with that section of the sea route. Thinking that it would be inappropriate to send it away this time, he called four more trusted boatmen to go together.

"Brother Zhong, who are you going to send off in the middle of the night, rushing to Mingzhou in such a hurry?"

Although Yu Zhouhai has lived on the ship for so many years, he was forced to take the risk of going out to sea because of his livelihood, so he is very aware of how much people here are afraid of going out to sea, even when transporting goods, not to mention It's a boat ride.

But now there are still people who take a boat from the sea in the middle of the night?

How urgent is it to do this.

"It's nothing, it's just a rich businessman who has urgent matters at home, so he had to rush back." Zhong Qiyun made up a few random sentences and then said: "Don't worry about these things, don't ask too much, just watch the boat carefully, and wait for things." Let’s send them safely to Mingzhou, and then everyone will have ten taels of silver.”

"Ten taels! That's a good relationship!" Yu Zhouhai smiled happily, satisfied.

"This employer seems to be a good one?"

"Yeah, if you are willing to make a move, it should be a big fortune."

Mingzhou is so close, if the sea route is smooth, and it takes only one day to come and go, but one day can make each of them have ten taels of silver, then he is really a rich man.

"Whether we have money or not, it's not our business. Just do good deeds."

After Zhong Qiyun said this, they didn't ask any more questions. They were all ordinary people, and they just wanted to earn some money. No one had the time to take care of the employer's housework.Besides, the Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and all of them want to earn more now. It would be best if they have money to spend during the Chinese New Year.

"But ten taels of silver is really not bad."

Zhong Qiyun couldn't help but slap Yu Zhouhai across the face: "Are you satisfied with ten taels of silver?"

"Hey," Yu Zhouhai said with a smile as he untied the rope on the boat, "How can I compare to you, Brother Zhong? Live comfortably and well, take advantage of your youth, and run overseas for a few more years. When you have enough money, you will buy two houses outside Hangzhou, and then buy a few acres of land. When spring comes, you will farm with your family and do some small work on weekdays. , it’s good to support your wife and children, and you don’t want those who have too much.”

Zhong Qiyun nodded. Everyone has their own ambitions. Although in his opinion, although Yu Zhouhai is dull, he is honest and willing to work. If he studies hard, managing a cargo ship should be no problem, but

It's hard for him to say these words.

People are born in this world, and what they want in the end is "satisfaction". For different people, their wishes are different. Some people think that power is satisfaction, some people think that money is good, and some people use vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Tea, plain happiness is what you want, there is no right or wrong.

Zhong Qiyun will not judge the right or wrong choices of others based on his own desire for life.

That is someone else's life, he has no qualifications and no position.

There were not many boatmen today, and Zhong Qiyun was in a hurry. He was injured on his back, but he was not idle. He looked around to check the condition of the boat and the life-saving items it was equipped with.

A group of people was mighty, although the boatmen had seen quite a few people at the seaside, but Yu Zhouhai and the others couldn't help muttering when they saw the crowd.

"Brother Zhong, are they really returning home?"

"It looks like a pirate..."

"..." He was as articulate as Zhong Qiyun, but he didn't know how to explain it well.

Thirty or so men were agile, got off their horses, and just stood in front of them, not like returning home, but rather going to collect debts.

Fortunately, none of these individuals were as serious and cold as Xie Wenyuan. One of them had smiles on both faces, and he was laughing and laughing with the people on the side, carrying a small burden, which relieved the oppressive feeling of getting off the horse just now.

"Our horse is rented, and it will be stored in the stables at the harbor. Tomorrow, you guys come back, so I have to ask you to help return it."

Gu Shouyi, who was speaking, narrowed his eyes with a smile as if he had just met him. He presumably meant to say this to Zhong Qiyun.

Zhong Qiyun was also very polite and nodded with a smile: "No problem, no problem, you can rest assured about this small matter."

As he said that, he looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, so let's get on the boat quickly."

"Yes." Gu Shouyi seemed to be stunned, and then he greeted the thirty people to board the boat.

"My ship is originally a cargo ship, and there is no place to rest. I'm really sorry. I can only wrong you to find a place to sit for a while."

"Nothing, we are in a hurry, and we don't ask for these, but the boss is kind and can take us back to Mingzhou."

Zhong Qiyun and Gu Shouyi complimented each other politely, and when Gu Shouyi and the thirty people had found an open place to sit down, Zhong Qiyun raised his hand and said loudly, "Anchor! Yang Fan—"

The five boatmen yelled in unison: "Hey!"

The wind is just right tonight, Yu Zhouhai is a good hand at the helm, so he went to guard the position of the rudder in the middle of the ship, and always listen to Zhong Qiyun

s arrangement.

When the boat rowed out of the Qiantang River Estuary and avoided the vortex caused by a hidden reef, Zhong Qiyun stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the compass. When the position was right, he asked Yu Hai to turn the direction. The remaining people adjusted the angle of the sail, and the wind blew Blow, the boat sailed smoothly all the way south.

When it happened, Zhong Qiyun couldn't bear it.

When he entered the sea just now, he stood at the bow of the ship to watch the direction of the ship, and when he turned around, the sea water just hit him.If it was in the past, it would be nothing. Walking in the sea, there is no one who does not get wet by the sea water.None of this is a problem.

But now that he had an injury on his back, and when he was exposed to the bitter and salty sea water, the pain became even more burning.

What's more, the clothes mixed with the sea water are sticking to the back, and the slightest movement can feel the wound tearing apart.

This clothes can't be worn anymore, if he continues to wear it, he is afraid that when he undresses, the skin will be torn off by him.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth tightly, and walked to the only room on the ship that provided rest. This ship was originally a cargo ship, and there was only a small room for the boatmen to rest for the time being. In the room, Zhong Qiyun was already sweating profusely. While reaching out to untie the belt of his clothes, he raised his foot and kicked the door shut.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and pulled the wound, Zhong Qiyun moaned uncontrollably.

"It hurts me to death."

"It's so unbearable, why didn't you just say it?"

As soon as Zhong Qiyun finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him. Zhong Qiyun was startled and jumped forward in a hurry. This time, he even pulled the wound, and he yelled out in pain: "Oh, I'll go!"

The person who shouldn't be here whispered to him: "Be quiet."

"Brother Zhong, what's the matter with you?" Yu Zhouhai asked hurriedly when he heard Zhong Qiyun's screams as he was at the helm closest to the room.

"It's okay, it's okay! I just hit the corner of the table, you steer the helm carefully, don't worry about me." Zhong Qiyun stared at the person in front of him in a daze, almost forgot to breathe.

Xie Wenyuan.......

Why is this man here? !Shouldn't it be in another courtyard?

Zhong Qiyun felt a little confused in his head, and even thought that maybe what he was seeing in front of him was that he was in too much pain, and he had hallucinations in his mind.

"You have to be careful, it's not good to knock your head."

Zhong Qiyun came back to his senses: "...Oh, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Ah That's good."

Yu Zhouhai stopped talking outside, Zhong Qiyun took two steps forward, looked at Xie Wenyuan in disbelief, it took him a long time before he whispered slowly: "Why are you here? When did you get on the boat."

"I was in this boat one step earlier than you."

No one found out?The guard boatman didn't notice anyone coming in? !

Zhong Qiyun was astonished, and asked again: "No, I mean, didn't you say you couldn't show your face in the other courtyard before, why are you following me now?"

Xie Wenyuan glanced at Zhong Qiyun, and chuckled lightly: "If you say it this way, do you believe it?"

"What else can I do if I don't believe it?"

Having said that, Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan carefully again, frowning for a while, and said: "Master Xie always devotes himself to going to the boat to scare me."

"Are you worried about Gu Shouyi, so you came here quietly to monitor? Or..."

Zhong Qiyun grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said again: "Or, are you worried about me?"

Seeing Zhong Qiyun's flattering smile, Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, the wound doesn't hurt anymore?"

When Xie Wenyuan mentioned this, Zhong Qiyun suddenly felt a tearing pain in his back, "How can it not be painful, it hurts, the pain explodes, it hurts to scratch the heart and liver."

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun's sweaty head, and sighed slightly, "Did you not wear ointment?"

"It's too late."

"Forget it, I took burn ointment from the room when I came, although it may not be as effective as Mr. Huang..." Xie Wenyuan took out a small ceramic pot from his sleeve pocket, stepped forward He handed it to Zhong Qiyun in two steps, "If you smear it on, it should relieve some pain."

Zhong Qiyun looked at the ointment jar in Xie Wenyuan's hand, a little dazed, but forgot to take it, and he asked after a long time, "You... brought it on purpose?"

Seeing that Zhong Qiyun didn't answer, Xie Wenyuan put the ointment on the table, "Just keep it with you."

Zhong Qiyun didn't really believe this.

Zhong Qiyun didn't speak, and the room fell silent. They stood opposite each other, neither of them moved anymore, they didn't know what the other was thinking, even Zhong Qiyun didn't know what he was thinking.

The boat rocked slightly.

Zhong Qiyun looked at the person in front of him, his breathing gradually became less smooth, his gaze slowly slid to Xie Wenyuan's neck along the moonlight through the crack of the door...

That night, he bit...

But before he could think about it, someone outside told a joke, which made everyone laugh out loud.

The laughter scared Zhong Qiyun back to his senses, he touched his nose uncomfortably, "Ahem, it seems that Mr. Xie is quite concerned about me, but... Mr. Xie, the position of my injury But on the back, do you think I can apply the ointment on my own?"

Xie Wenyuan frowned slightly.

Zhong Qiyun smiled cheerfully when he saw this, "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you, old man."
