Chapter 622 Can't eat and walk around (2)
"It's a matter of food and grass, Mr. Mei, thank you for your hard work." She secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't ask any more questions, and then looked at the sunset in the sky: "It's getting late, Ningchun thinks it's necessary." After finishing the meal, let's talk while eating."

Mei Su was startled, is she inviting him to dinner?

Inexplicably, a little joy rose in his heart, and he nodded gracefully: "Alright."

Qiu Yebai turned around to lead the way, but when she turned around, the cool wind blew her black hair that fell on her shoulders, revealing a small piece of snow-white neck.

Mei Su's gaze landed on her neck, and she paused suddenly, a piece of bloody red about half the size of a coin on top of the snow-white, like the petals of a blood plum, was extremely eye-catching.

He stopped in his tracks for an instant, staring fixedly at the blushing spot, and felt a chill in his heart, making him unable to move.

Because, no one understands better than him that the little red on the white snow is definitely not a flower petal.

Qiu Yebai realized that he hadn't followed, so she stopped and turned her head to look, not wanting to meet the almost cold gaze in his clear and shallow eyes.

There was something almost painful and tyrannical mixed in that gaze, which made her froze slightly, consciously feeling a sense of danger.

She narrowed her eyes vigilantly: "Mei Siyun, what's wrong with you?"

Mei Su trembled as if waking up from a dream, then she lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "I have nothing to do, it's just that it's a little uncomfortable to go back and forth to count the grain and grass."

Qiu Yebai looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Mei Su slowly raised her eyes to look at her, and smiled slightly: "Yes."

Looking at his appearance, Qiu Yebai's eyes and demeanor have returned to the usual light and warm look like the smoke in the south of the Yangtze River, as if what she saw just now were hallucinations, she was silent for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions, just nodded :"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's right to serve the imperial court." Mei Su nodded and smiled, and followed her to a row of restaurants near the beach.

Ning Qiu and Ning Chun had already arranged meals for all the officials and most of the soldiers, and then took turns to patrol and watch.

Qiu Yebai, Mei Su, Rat, Da Zhuang and other chief officials who followed the ceremony, Uncle Daniu, Tian Hua and others sat in another private room.

The dishes are quite rich, they are all fish and shrimp, the taste is simple, and the seafood is fresh.

What's more, everyone didn't have much thought about enjoying the food here, they were all discussing the sailing plan nervously while eating.

"I'm afraid the situation is not good now." The rat drank a glass of wine, and then looked at Mei Su: "Mei Siyun managed to transport the grain and grass, even if it is loaded on the ship, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave tomorrow."

Xiao Qi also nodded, and her baby face was also stern at the moment: "I heard from the guards today that they have stopped several batches of people who came to deliver the goods. It is said that the port is under maintenance, but it has been delayed for a long time, and there is no guarantee that they will not doubt it."

Mei Su also picked up the wine glass, it wasn't good wine, it was ordinary low-quality sorghum wine, in the past, he wouldn't have looked at it at all, but at this time...

He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, feeling the burning of the strong wine in his throat, but his face remained indifferent: "At the latest, we must leave in the morning of the next day. It is said that the day after tomorrow will be the [-]th birthday of the old lady of the He Mansion, He Shen is extremely filial, and it is impossible not to appear at the birthday banquet."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Ning Qiu couldn't help but said: "That means He Shen will return to the He Mansion at least this afternoon, and before that, he will send the He Family to inquire?"

"That's right." Mei Su said expressionlessly.

"Here in Quanzhou, the folk customs are tough, and they are extremely protective. Although the people in Niujia Village are helping us, we are foreigners after all. We have been involved in the matter of entering this port. If someone with a heart wants to tease us at will, the nearby villagers may attack us." The rat's thin face was serious.

Qiu Yebai frowned slightly, nodded and said: "I understand."

These villagers who live together with the clan as a bond have a strong sense of locality, and it is troublesome to fight with weapons.

Uncle Daniu said helplessly while smoking a dry cigarette: "To be honest, the villagers around are better. After all, they are ordinary people, but the He family has a high prestige in Quanzhou City, and the gentry in the city are only He Shen. The governors at the military port are all He’s children, if the news of He Shen’s death here leaks out…”

Uncle Big Niu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.

If the wind is leaked, you can't eat and walk around.

Although it is easy for them to get out of the body, what about the food and tasks?
Everyone fell into silence.

"Ives won't wake up until tomorrow morning, and his throat can't speak, but he still needs him?" Tian Hua put down the bowls and chopsticks, frowned slightly, but a mocking smile flashed in her lowered eyes.

Everyone looked at Qiu Yebai in unison.

Her expression was slightly condensed, and then she muttered: "No matter what, I will ship all the goods first, and I will find a way for Elvis."

Everyone fell silent, Tian Hua glanced at her face, pursed her lips slightly, and said with a sincere smile: "Fourth Young Master will definitely find a way."

He is really looking forward to the master landlord showing his skills.

Otherwise, it would be a pity if he was hacked to death by foolish people.

For a meal, everyone has something on their minds, and they don't know what to eat, so they simply dismiss the matter and then split up.

After Qiu Yebai finished his meal, he called Uncle Niu who was about to leave: "Uncle Big Niu, after you finished your meal, bring your apprentice and follow me."

Upon hearing this, Daniel nodded immediately: "Okay, here we come!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately called a few apprentices to follow Qiu Yebai in a hurry.

After Qiu Yebai came out of the hut, she looked around, and happened to see Yibai squatting under a tree in a daze for some reason, so she walked over.

In front of him, he said indifferently: "Yibai, you also come with me, I have a task for you."

As soon as Bai heard the words, his eyes lit up and immediately got up to follow Qiu Yebai.

I muttered to myself.If he can be used by the 'son-in-law', can it be regarded as a meritorious service?

She led them all the way to the port. At this moment, the setting sun was about to set, leaving only the last ray of light falling on the sea, which turned the sea into a bloody red, and also dyed the ships parked in the harbor red.

Among the large group of ships, only one ship is the most eye-catching. It has a black appearance, even the sails are black, and a black flag is flying high. On the flag is a long scimitar.

Pirate Ship.

Qiu Yebai looked up at the black ship and narrowed his eyes to look at it. This is not a particularly good ship, the hull and sails are even a bit worn out, but the three masts and the bow and tail are upright, and the two sides of the ship are The cannons on the side and the anti-climbing nails on the side of the ship all show that it is more like a warship than most of the merchant ships here, and it is very suitable for naval battles.
