Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
438 He Jin brought people to find
Fu An saw someone helping to deliver the box, and hurriedly took it from Xizi.
Fei Ke held Ping An's hand and said, "Thank you, Ping An. I hope to see you again next time."
Ping An stopped speaking English, otherwise Fu An and the others would have made a fuss.
He just smiled and shook Feike's hand, then pulled his hand away and said in Da Zhou dialect: "Feike, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Fei Ke also said goodbye in the stiff Da Zhou dialect, but he still knew some simple words.
Before leaving, he pointed Ping'an in the direction of Guluowan Market and told him not to go the wrong way.
Fike is gone.
Fu An looked at the box and the backpack on the ground: "What kind of potato is this? So big?"
Ping An said, "They grew on foreign soil, so they might be fatter. They brought some food with them, and I exchanged some for pearls. Xizi, help me carry it into the cabin."
The box was locked and the key was in his waist belt, but he didn't plan to tell Fu An and the others now.
It is very likely that he will never encounter these rare things again in his entire life. After all, he has never seen them in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He would arrange his use of these very carefully and would not give them away casually.
Put your things away.
Ping An then told Xizi, Fu An and Chen Xuan the correct path to take.
This gave them a big fright.
Fu An was a little worried: "They only met once, could they have deliberately said something wrong?"
"No, I saved their man and gave him medicine for free. Why would they lie to me? Let's change the route. They left early yesterday morning and it took them a long time after dark to get to this place. If we leave now, we probably won't get to the market until midnight."
Chen Xuan couldn't wait any longer: "Let's go quickly, it's too late to sail."
"Okay, Xizi, let's get on the boat."
Ping'an and the others pulled out the wooden stakes, but instead of throwing them away, they left them on the boat. The four of them each took one side, and the boat slowly left the shallow bay.
Ping An looked at Fei Ke and the others. The six people of Fei Ke were also looking at him. When they saw him looking over, they all waved goodbye to him.
He also waved and stopped looking at them. These people were just passers-by in his life and he might never see them again in his life.
And his master and his subordinates must be looking for them everywhere at this moment.
His heart couldn't wait any longer.
After a day's rest, everyone was refreshed. Knowing that it would take more than a day to reach the market inn, they rowed even harder, trying to arrive before dark, as it was not safe to sail at night.
If we don't find a suitable island and there is a sea breeze at night, we might end up moving backwards instead of forwards, which would be terrible.
Ping An certainly understood this logic in his heart.
Xiao Ming looked at his weak arms and legs and realized that he couldn't row the boat. He also heard that they could reach the inn in the evening, so he didn't need to save on food and drink.
He baked steamed buns at the bow of the boat and passed them to everyone. He also put the boiled water he had boiled in the morning aside and asked anyone who was thirsty to call him.
Even Fu An praised him for being sensible. Xiao Ming looked at his master and saw that he was also smiling at him, so his little face blushed.
In the blink of an eye it was noon. The sunshine was not as bright as yesterday, but it was still a sunny day. What they were most worried about was rain or strong winds. If they arrived in the evening, it would be fine even if the weather changed the next day or the day after tomorrow.
For lunch, they had grilled fish. It was already grilled, so Xiao Ming just grilled it again on the charcoal stove for a short while and it immediately became fragrant.
It was impossible to row the boat while eating the fish, so the four of them had to put down the oars and concentrate on eating the fish in their hands.
Ping An did not dare to be careless and kept his eyes on the tip of the boat. If the direction was slightly off, he would immediately straighten it.
Today's ships are like a dead leaf in the vast ocean, so small and pitiful that if one is not careful, the ship may capsize, resulting in death.
Of course Chen Xizi understood this. While he was eating the fish, his eyes were fixed on the bow. The sea and the sky were the same color everywhere, making it difficult to tell the direction.
In the afternoon, the sun set early and the sky became foggy.
Chen Xuan frowned: "Is the sky over the sea changing so quickly? There was still sunshine in the morning."
Ping An comforted him, "Don't be afraid. We can row fast today and arrive in half a day."
"Master, look over there, it looks like a ship, coming towards us."
Ping An followed the direction Xiao Ming pointed and found that it was indeed a boat.
It was just that it was far away and the boat was coming from the west, so it was hard to see clearly.
There is no need to be afraid.
Zaqui and his men must not have woken up yet. Even if they did, they would have splitting headaches for a short period of time.
Thinking of his master and the others' worries, he still felt that he was too soft-hearted. When he put the sleeping pills in, he used half less. If the whole bottle had been used up, those people would have died immediately.
"Ping An, are those people chasing us?" Fu An was a little nervous. He might not be able to outrun them even if he ran now, as their boat was obviously much bigger.
wrong.
"Ping An, that boat seems to be the one we took when we came here. Could it be that Uncle He and the others have come? Ah."
"Be careful, we almost fell into the sea. None of us are good enough to swim in the sea."
As the boat got closer, Ping An stood up.
Yes, it should be Uncle He who brought people here to find us.
Ping An was right in his guess; the boat that was rowing over was that of He Jin and his men.
Yesterday morning, they went into the sea again. After chasing all the way without catching up, they were worried that the kidnappers had taken Master Ping An and his gang to the west, so they turned to the West Sea.
We stopped at a small island last night and rested there for a night. Now we turned sideways, preparing to look for it in the east again, but we saw a small boat.
Qingshi said, "Uncle He, could it be the young master and his group? From the looks of their cloaks, there are also five or six of them."
He Jin looked at the black spots on the boat in the distance, which could barely be considered human figures. Why couldn't he see clearly that there were five or six people?
"Let's move closer, what if it is?"
The boat seemed to be parked there, as if waiting for them.
He Jin's heart warmed up.
The eldest son handed the person to him, but he lost him.
He and Wanli knew best how much their master treasured Master Ping'an, who was basically no different from his own son.
If he really couldn't find the person, he was afraid that he would have no choice but to die to atone for his crime. Otherwise, how would he have the face to see his master in the future?
As the boat got closer, Qingshi finally recognized that the man standing there was his master, and the small one next to him was Xiao Ming.
"Uncle He, it's the young master, it's them." Qingshi sobbed. Only they themselves knew how much torment they had experienced in the past two days.
Hu Zi waved his hands: "Master, Master, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming."
Xiao Ming said happily: "Master, it's Brother Huzi, Brother Huzi is calling us."
He waved his hands: "Brother Huzi, Brother Qingshi, woooo, Master, it's them, woooo."
Ping'an's eyes were red and he stared at the boat rushing towards him.
Fu An, Chen Xuan and Chen Xizi also stood up. The boat shook a bit, and they, including Ping An, sat down immediately. What would they do if the boat capsized at this moment?
