·Seaside

The sea breeze hits towards each other, blew the hair of the two, making Shang Junzhuo's voice seem more and more illusory, as if he talks about it inadvertently, as light as the spring breeze passing by, almost unreal.

But Bai Xiuzhi, who had been standing beside her, could hear clearly. Her thoughts could be felt by the person she liked, and she would feel very happy if she put them on anyone. Bai Xiuzhi smiled shyly without saying much.

The two of them stared at the sea level in a daze. Everything that happened last night was like the waves at the stern of the boat, moving further and further away from the two, but the thrilling stimulation of that night was always lingering in the hearts of the two and could never be erased.

The boat was drifting on the sea for more than half a month, and finally docked smoothly on the ferry in Putian. The ferry with its heads was crowded with people waiting to receive goods. As soon as the boat landed, someone could not wait to run up, "How is it? Didn't you encounter any danger?"

His tone was filled with nervous concern.

The captain was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The boss was round and fat, and before he could say anything, his forehead was covered with sweat. He wiped the beads of sweat and said, "You don't know yet? The merchant ship in your head encountered pirates, and even the ship cargo was lost. This morning, a coastal fisherman went out to sea to fish and found dozens of corpses floating on the sea. The death was so scary. Are you okay? Are you safe all the way?"

The captain sighed, "Don't mention it!" He still whispered to tell the story of the pirates.

The bosses who followed the boat looked ugly after hearing this and said softly, "No matter what, the ship and cargo are still saved. If this falls into the hands of the pirates, none of the people on the boat will have a way out. It is also your first mate who has experience. I heard that the boat in front is panic because he met the pirates and set sail at night, but the boat capsized..."

The captain couldn't help but feel scared after hearing this, and he valued Shang Junzhuo's master even more.

Someone suggested, "Since the crew has died, I still have to report to the Maritime Office, so as not to get into trouble in vain in the future."

Another person said, "The Maritime Office is just a decoration, and it will be useless if you go there. What's the use for it? Recently, pirates have been frequently active. If you continue to let it go like this, the people will not have to live their lives."

"Zeng Shaoquan from Nanjing did not come forward to take care of it. He shirked his responsibilities and indulged all day long, and he didn't know when it would be."

The boss who spoke before said, "It is necessary to report it, otherwise I will be unable to explain some things clearly if I get into a lawsuit in the future. Besides, the family members of the crew have to ask for an explanation. After a person gets on the boat alone, only ashes will be left when he goes back. Who can bear it?"

His words make some sense, and the people dressed by the boss nodded, and finally didn't say much.

The crew members had already begun to carry goods in an orderly manner, and Shang Junzhuo was naturally one of them. The boss was shocked when he saw a woman sandwiched between a large group of big and thick men, and the goods he was carrying were no less than others at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked, "This...what is going on?"

The captain did not explain much, personally sent several bosses off the ship, and then went to the Maritime Office to report on the incident of encountering pirates. The Maritime Office was very close to the ferry and the house was built very strong, but there was only an old man guarding the gate and a young manager staring at it. The old man didn't let him in at first, but after hearing the whole story, he opened the door and sighed, "What else can I do in this world except accepting my fate? You are already lucky. There are more and more pirates, and there are really few people who can escape alive from their hands."

The Maritime Affairs Office issued a document with twists and turns on it, and the captain couldn't recognize it. When he returned to the ship, he showed it to Bai Xiuzhi, it was a notice of disclaimer. In short, the captain was responsible for all the pirates. Failure to pass according to the established route was the main responsibility, and the dead crew member was even more mentioned.

The captain was so angry that he tore the documents on the spot and returned to the cabin without even having enough food.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone hired a carriage to prepare coffins and other funeral items to collect the dead crew into the coffin and take them to cremation. The captain refused to come forward, so Shang Junzhuo's master volunteered to take two people to follow the carriage.

The boat leaned against the ferry, and the seabirds kept singing on their heads. The unfamiliar ground made people feel more and more desolate and sad. A few young boat sisters hid in the corner of the deck and secretly shed tears. Shang Junzhuo and Bai Xiuzhi went to comfort him. The crying boat sisters said, "A real good man is gone, and in the end, he didn't get anything except a handful of ashes."

Another sighed, "How do you think his wife and children will live? The pillars have fallen down and the house is about to collapse."

Shang Junzhuo comforted them a few words, but the captain was also unhappy to be found out, so he cried a few times and left.

After almost three meals, Shang Junzhuo's master rushed back in disgrace, holding a white porcelain jar in his hand.

Everyone knows what is in it, and their expressions are a little solemn.

Shang Junzhuo's master found a proper place to put the urn and took Shang Junzhuo to the fish market to find a buyer. The marlin had been on the boat for some time. Although the temperature on the cabin on the bottom floor was cold, it would be stinking if it was placed like this.

Shang Junzhuo called Bai Xiuzhi, and the three of them walked along the ferry head towards the fish market.

There were quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, and there were people coming and going. Shang Junzhuo was afraid that Bai Xiuzhi would accidentally get away, so it would be difficult to find him. She took Bai Xiuzhi's hand and followed his master happily, and asked curiously, "Master, are you very familiar with this place?"

"Yes." Shang Junzhuo's master smoked dry tobacco. "This place needs to be visited more than a dozen times a year, and you can find it with your eyes closed."

Bai Xiuzhi said, "Then where is the farthest place you have been?"

Shang Junzhuo's master said, "I have walked a few trips to the South China Sea, but no matter how far I am, I have never been there. It is really not easy for us to do our job. The days on the sea are boring and the average person can't stand it if he walks a few trips. There are not many people who can persevere."

Shang Junzhuo thought that he would not have the next time after going to sea this time. He thought that he gave up shortly after he became a disciple, and his face felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, her master had long thought that it would be bad for a girl to always show up like this. What's more...

He glanced at Bai Xiuzhi beside Shang Junzhuo, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If Shang Junzhuo was his daughter, he would be able to decide on the marriage immediately, even if he didn't have any bride price!

He could see that the two children were both interested in each other, but they didn't know what they were worried about. They had been holding on like this and had no result until now.

This is really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is anxious!

The fish market was not close to the ferry, and there were fewer people in the ferry. Shang Junzhuo was a little relieved and was about to let go of his hand, but he didn't expect that Bai Xiuzhi held her hand and held it very tightly, as if he would fly away as soon as he let go.

Shang Junzhuo felt happy, but he looked at Bai Xiuzhi with a pretentious look on his face.

But in the end, I still didn't pull out my hand.

The three of them arrived at the fish market in a row. As it was almost evening, there were not many people in the market. The fishmongers were busy all day long, and they were listless and lazy. They couldn't get any energy when they saw the visitors, and just responded casually, not as attentive as they were earlier.

Because Shang Junzhuo's master often came here, he naturally had a few people who knew each other and took Bai Xiuzhi and Shang Junzhuo to a fish shop.
