See you in the world

Chapter 258

The woman is tall and beautiful, but she is dressed very plainly. She is wearing a long coarse cloth skirt, and there are faint patches on her shoes. Her long hair like splashed ink is pulled into a beautiful hairstyle and fixed with a wooden hairpin.

There was a small package hanging on her shoulder, and she held a short sword more than two feet long in her hand.

The man who brought her here was a more than 30-year-old man, shirtless on a hot day, facing her request, he scratched and said, "Okay, as long as there is an empty bed on this floor, you can go by yourself." Choose the one you are satisfied with, but what I have to tell you, girl, is that any other room is similar to this one, and there are men, after all, there are too few women who go out alone, are you sure you want to change?"

The woman was anxious, and said: "Why is this happening? Don't you know how to put the girl alone if it's so difficult?"

The man was speechless: "Girl, please figure it out, okay? We are a cargo ship, not a special passenger ship. We only carry people by the way, so why are we so particular about it?"

"But you can't let me, a big girl, share a room with several men." The woman was in a tangle.

The other party shrugged and said, "It's okay if you don't want to share a room with others, there are single rooms and suites, 200 taels for a single room and 500 taels for a suite, as long as you give me the money, you will be satisfied."

"I...I don't have that much money for the time being," the woman bit her lip and said, her momentum suddenly weakened by three points.

The man became impatient, and said, "Girl, do you want to take the boat? If you don't take the boat, you have to go there before you set sail and you haven't paid the money. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to delay here."

"Brother, can you see if this works? Arrange a single room for me. Although I have no money, I can help you do things to pay off the debt. I can do all kinds of rough and tiring work. I have also practiced martial arts. I ask myself how good my skills are." Not bad..." The woman looked at the other party pitifully and discussed.

Before she finished speaking, the other party frowned and interrupted: "Girl, we have enough people, so I won't bother you. If you don't want to take the boat, please make plans as soon as possible."

"Can't we discuss it any more?" the woman struggled.

The other party turned around and said: "I'm really busy, please go ahead, girl, remind you, I have arranged a bed for you, and it will take a few months to go. After the sailing, someone will come to collect the money. If you pay the money, it will not be refunded. If you don't pay the money The idlers will be 'invited' to go down, you can figure it out yourself"

The man left after speaking, leaving the woman in a dilemma at the door.

"Excuse me, thank you..."

The aisle outside was narrow, and it was the peak time for people to come and go. The woman was standing at the door, and someone was passing by carrying a large package and yelling non-stop.

In order to avoid the other party, she had to take a step back and stepped into the cabin.

Luo Zheng took a small look at the other party, nodded as a greeting, and then lay down on the made bed, which meant that there was someone here.

He often runs outside and travels long distances. It is very common for men and women to live in mixed houses, sometimes even in crowded bunks, so he is not surprised that the woman is arranged in this cabin by the boatman.

He doesn't care whether the woman wants to stay or not, and it's not up to him to decide.

Of course, it would be great if the woman could stay, because after all, it's good for the eyes.

The woman who entered the cabin turned around, looked inside and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, hit..."

At this time, Yunjing made the bed, turned over and sat on the bed, took out a book to pass the time, and then the cargo ship was about to set sail, and someone would come to charge him. In order not to bear the reputation of 'fare evasion', he thought it was better to wait it is good.

"From today onwards, I'm afraid I'll spend a not-so-short period of time with you guys." The woman glanced at Yun Jing without any trace, and the woman turned her eyes and finished the next sentence.

The honest Zhou Mu got up quickly, almost bumping his head against the bed above, and said, "It's all right, if you need help, just tell me, girl."

"Girl, please go ahead, my name is Luo Zheng." Luo Zheng got up and nodded slightly. After all, we will be living together for a while, so it doesn't make sense not to even say hello.

When he was talking, he glanced at Yunjing out of the corner of his eye, and almost rolled his eyes. He couldn't hear that the woman who came in wanted to say sorry, but changed her words abruptly.

Tsk, Luo Zheng had to admit in his heart at this time that a boy like Yunjing was too easy to attract bees and butterflies. The woman obviously didn't want to stay here, but she changed her mind after seeing Yunjing.

At this time, Yunjing looked at the other party and nodded, and said, "I'm Xia Yunjing, I hope we can get along well in the future."

"My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Zhi. Please take care of me in the future," the woman introduced herself, and slightly bowed down.

Nodding, Yun Jing said: "Hello, Miss Bai, we have just arrived, please do what you want"

As he spoke, his gaze returned to the book in his hand.

Now that she has decided to stay, Bai Zhi doesn't have to worry about it so much anymore, as a daughter of the rivers and lakes, she doesn't care about the details when she goes out.

At this moment, Zhou Mu said cautiously: "Madam Bai, I am behind them, there are still two beds left here, you can choose first, I can do both."

Luo Zheng was muttering in his heart at this moment, this white girl must choose my upper bunk, which is opposite to Yunjing.

Sure enough, Bai Zhi looked at the room a little bit, and said to Zhou Mu: "Uncle, you are older than us, it must be inconvenient to climb up and down, I will live upstairs."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Bai," Zhou Mu nodded gratefully, and then put the salute in his arms on the bed on the lower bunk on the left to tidy up.

Luo Zheng couldn't stop complaining in his heart, secretly thinking Uncle Zhou, do you really think that people are thinking of you?It's just for the convenience of looking at the handsome little brother...

Tucao returned to Tucao, but he still kindly reminded: "By the way, Uncle Zhou and Miss Bai, I don't know how many people have slept in the beds here. Brother Yun and I came first and cleaned them ourselves. If you don't like it, you can also wash it." Take it and wash it while it’s still early.”

Although he said to Yunjing before that 'the companion must love to be clean', he didn't threaten him after all. After all, he has already said this, and most people would think it would be disgusting and clean it up, right?

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Really, it cost 50 taels of silver, and the boatman didn't even know how to get a new one, so he had to clean it himself."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to rest on the upper bunk on the right, turned over on the bed deftly with a light push, and started tidying up the bed for cleaning.

The honest Zhou Mu didn't take it seriously and said: "I'm fine, don't dislike it, just let it go."

As a person who is used to living a hard life, how could Zhou Mu despise it.

Hearing this, Luo Zheng was so depressed that he would die. He swore that his companion 'must be clean', but he couldn't use old fists to Zhou Mu, an honest commoner, right?This is embarrassing.

But at this moment, Bai Zhi said while tidying up the bed: "Uncle Zhou, I think you should take it to wash. I don't know how many people have slept in these beds. If the person who has slept in the bed gets sick, it is you who will be infected and suffer."

Girls love to be clean, otherwise Bai Zhi would not be able to think of cleaning the bed immediately after being reminded, and she doesn't want to share a room with someone who doesn't like to be clean, but it's not good to blame an elder for a newcomer, so she can only use There may be reasons such as getting sick to frighten the other party.

The poor are most afraid of getting sick, no matter what time and age it is.

Hearing what Bai Zhi said, Zhou Mu was obviously a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Then I will wash it too."

Yun Jing and Luo Zheng glanced at each other indiscriminately at this moment, and they seemed to be saying that they didn't expect Miss Bai Zhi to have a delicate and clear heart.

Soon Bai Zhi and Zhou Mu took the bedding to clean, and Luo Zheng kindly reminded them that they could pick up tools from the boatman, and then only Yun Jing and him were left in the room for the time being.

"Brother Yun, that girl Bai obviously stayed behind for you, maybe she has already taken a fancy to you," Luo Zheng joked to Yun Jing after they left.

Yun Jing said speechlessly: "Brother Luo, don't talk nonsense, I'm not money, and it's rare for me to be an individual."

"You're right, I've got one thing to say, from my years of life experience, to girls, you are more rare than money, Brother Yun," Luo Zheng said seriously.

After pondering for a while, Yun Jing shook his head and smiled, "I'm used to it."

Luo Zheng: "..."

He didn't want to talk to Yunjing anymore, so he turned over on the bed and pointed his butt at Yunjing.

Luo Zheng was very depressed, so why should I tell Yun Jing about this?

Shrugging his shoulders, Yunjing continued to read, he was telling the truth.

Time passed by little by little, and after half an hour, Yunjing and the others only felt the hull shake, and the scenery outside the window was slowly receding, and they set sail.

The big ship set sail, and many people on the deck were crying farewell, but it had nothing to do with Yun Jing and the two, and they didn't have the idea of ​​going to see the excitement. Parting is sad, and seeing it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

The big ship slowly left the pier and headed north...

Another half an hour later, Bai Zhi and Zhou Mu came back with the cleaned beds.

Yun Jing was still reading, while Luo Zheng had already fallen asleep.

"It's much more comfortable this way," said Bai Zhi, who had made the bed after she came back, smelling the sunshine, took a sneak peek at Yunjing, and found that he was reading a book quietly, and didn't have the nerve to read more.

At this moment, Zhou Mu, who got out of bed in Yunjing, also finished tidying up. He opened his package and took out some boiled eggs. There was a flash of distress in his eyes, but he still said generously: "Mr. Yun, Miss Bai, and Luo Strong man, I have some boiled eggs here, I can't eat that much by myself, you should try it too"

Luo Zheng fell asleep, so it was naturally impossible to answer.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said: "Thank you Uncle Zhou, you can eat by yourself, I'm not hungry"

"Thank you Uncle Zhou for your kindness, I'm not hungry," Yun Jing also said.

Zhou Mu said enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, the eggs laid by his own hens don't cost money, you can try them."

With that said, he got up and put one next to Yunjing Baizhi and the other, and after thinking about it, he put another next to Luo Zheng who was asleep.

It's all like this, if it's too much to go back, Yunjing and the others have no choice but to accept it.

Holding the eggs reminded Yunjing that after paying the ship fare, he would not have much money, and there was still a long way to go, how to earn money to expand his pockets was a problem , after all, the next journey will cost money.
