Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 103 Lu Run Wants to Return Home

Ten days later, the messenger reported that the two ships had returned with red beans, but they were besieged by four fast pirate ships on the return sea. Thanks to the small gourd snake medicine that Fan Tong brought along with the boat, no one died, and another six people were injured by bows and arrows.They captured a brig and shot and killed sixteen pirates on board, and at least ten others were killed by crossbow shots.Two blowpipes and dozens of blowing needles were seized.

"I didn't expect that, pirates also have blowpipes with snake venom blowing needles. I haven't heard of them before."

Liu Tao asked: "Under what circumstances were the injured crew members shot?"

"I heard that one was injured when he was preparing to jump over the side of the boat, and the other two were injured while searching after jumping over."

"Taoer, the flying needle can't reach far. It's not a short-distance launch at sea. It's easy to be blown off by the sea wind. But I guess some pirates are unreasonable. They shoot poisonous needles when they see a cargo ship. Run fast, and the injured crew members who don’t know the truth will run the ship violently. The faster they run, the faster the blood circulation, and the faster the poison will be released. In the end, the whole army is wiped out, so this method of pirate ship robbery has never been popular. Know. Given that they have such powerful tactics, our tactics have to be changed accordingly."

Later, Jin Li studied how to deal with pirates with leather armor, leather boots and gloves. He was afraid that pirates would shoot the boarder in the eyes, and he also researched a helmet with glass as the face shield. Don't be afraid of blowing needles anymore.However, the snake medicine donated by Huasheng left a small gourd for the guards of Yazui Island, and there may not be many small gourds in Fan Tong's place.I have to contact Huasheng to buy more, just in case.

Fan Tong was interested in the captured sailing boats, and while familiarizing the crew with unfamiliar sailing operations, he used them for short-distance transportation.This sailboat has a load capacity of [-] jin ([-] tons), which is much faster than ordinary cargo ships. In the future, it is going to remove the markings on the ship, and then take it to the Raksha country for trade.

Luo Kuihua and Jiang Li felt at ease in the Jin Mansion, each was very satisfied with their jobs, especially Liu Tao's mother-in-law did not have a daughter, and she hoped to have a daughter at first, but her wish could not be realized because of her poor health.Now the mother-in-law sees that Luo Kuihua likes it very much. She doesn't need her to take care of her, but instead takes care of Luo Kuihua in every possible way.Except for Luo Kuihua's concealment of her experience of being captured by pirates, the mother and daughter were deeply attached to each other, and the relationship soon developed to the same level as a family.

After Luo Kuihua followed Jin Yan's mother for a long time, Jin Hao's mother asked Luo Kuihua, "Why don't you go back to your home in Xiangluo County in the south to visit relatives?"

"I don't have any relatives at home. I have brother and sister-in-law, but the relationship is not good..."

On December 22, Lu Run and the messenger arrived in Jinfu in a foreign carriage. He was a day later than originally planned, so he told the two of the reasons; He was approved by Liu Tao's mother, who also asked about his hometown and family.Jiang Li said that she was in Jingdong Mansion. She was drugged and abducted when she was a child, and she no longer remembers her family.In fact, she was indeed kidnapped by drugs, but she only parted with her family for a year, and she remembered it exactly, but she didn't want to see her family because of the humiliation.But these things can only be buried in my heart, and I can't talk to the host's wife.

The mother asked: "The poor child is suffering, but do you know who made you faint?"

"I know, it's the female shopkeeper of a tea shop on the street, but I don't remember what she looks like..."

As soon as Jiang Li thought that if she revealed the damned human trafficker, her kind boss would report to the police and arrest her, and if she revealed her unknown side, her reputation would be rotten. It is necessary to ruin the family's reputation and make the family members unable to hold their heads up in front of others. Compared with revenge, the gain is not worth the loss.

This time I accompanied my old boss’s in-laws to Liangshan Port, and Jiang Li followed. Ma Jinqiang was sitting in the driver’s seat. He was dressed brightly and had a knife on his waist. .In the VIP carriage at the back, Liu Tao's parents sat in the front row, and Jiang Li in the back row watched the street scene through the glass window all the way in the carriage. Passing by Jingdongfu Street, she saw her familiar hometown, and her vision was blurred by tears.

People on the street also looked at this rare foreign horse carriage. There were two young men on the side of the street. When they saw Jiang Li in the foreign horse carriage, they closed their eyes and wept. They almost screamed at the same time.

"Lili."

"younger sister"

The tall man asked the other: "I'm not dreaming, how did I see Lili?"

The other one who was shorter said excitedly: "Brother Shitou, you read that right, she is your sister!"

"Let's follow them, don't alarm them, maybe they are human traffickers."

"Okay, you follow, I'll go to the county government to call someone..."

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't seem to see them, the tall man who called him his sister strode up to follow behind, because he was afraid of disturbing the people in the carriage, so he couldn't shout.Wait until the carriage leaves Jingdong Fucheng.The carriage in front turned and turned to another road and started to speed up. He ran and chased after him. Ma Jinqiang didn't see him because the carriage behind him was in the way. It wasn't until he turned again that he spotted him out of the corner of his eye.

He stopped the carriage, waited until he got close before getting out of the driver's seat of the carriage, kicked him down head-on, drew out his waist knife and forced his chest.

He was obviously scared, but he still yelled: "Sister, run away..."

Jiang Li suddenly heard a familiar shout in the carriage, and when she turned around, she saw Ma Jinqiang pointing a knife at a familiar figure, still yelling for her sister to run.

She got out of the car and came over in a few steps, "Brother..."

As soon as Ma Jinqiang understood, he took the waist knife back with a swipe.At this time, Liu Tao's parents also got out of the car and saw Jiang Li and the young man crying together.

Jiang Li stopped crying and said to them: "Master and wife, this is my brother."

Then she turned to her brother and said, "Brother, this is the big boss of the Jin Mansion. The master and wife are good people. I was abducted by human traffickers. It was his young boss who saved my life."

They were still explaining briefly. In the distance, another man led four arresters and chased him out of breath.Her brother hurriedly stopped them and told them about the misunderstanding inside.Several people listened to Ma Jinqiang say that the old couple had honored titles conferred by the imperial court, and they all saluted respectfully.

Now that the brothers and sisters have recognized each other, they have to go home and have a look. Also, the culprit who drugged Jiang Li and took pictures of her flowers has to be arrested. The arresters will send two of them to the tea shop to look at the suspect. At that time, the two policemen went back to report to the county magistrate, and they returned to Jiang Li's home the same way.

Jiang Li's parents saw that their daughter, who had been missing for more than a year, had returned. The family members of her daughter's employer were her saviors, and they refused to let them go. They had to stay overnight.

They thought that Jiang Li had just reunited with her family, so they couldn't break up the family immediately. Besides, there was still a big matter to go to court with the flower thief, so they told Jiang Li the next day, you can have a reunion year with your family, if If you still want to stay in Jin Mansion in the future, then we will pick you up when we come back from Liangshan Port.

Lu Run told Jin Yan and Liu Tao that the two elderly people arrived at Liangshan Port safely, and we have passed the handover and there is no major issue. If there are any remaining things that you don't understand, you can discuss them with his deputy.The salaries for everyone on the pier have been fixed, and they will be calculated together at the end of the year when they are on vacation. At that time, the elderly will pay them according to the prepared list and amount of money.

As for Lu Run's salary, although he is in charge of nearly a hundred people in the Liangshan Port warehouse, and he has the final say on money and food, but the salary is still handed over to him by the young owner, Jin Yan.Compared with the 1000 taels of Xiao Shunzi and his wife, Jin Li gave him 800 taels of silver notes.

Considering that his brother Lu Wo is still studying medicine, he will also serve the Jin family warehouse in the future.He is a special talent, and his salary cannot be compared with that of a boatman and a man, so he summed up his salary to 200 taels, and asked Lu Run to bring it back to his parents.

This kind of thing is aboveboard. During the meal, Jin Li delivered him in front of the whole family, and grandma secretly thought about it; a distant relative who is in charge can get so much in a year. Jin Yang can only give more and not less. Seeing that this year is coming to the end of the year again, if he doesn't think of a way to get Big Fatty over, won't the new year be over again.

The two looked at his foreign carriage. It was a double-row four-seater foreign carriage pulled by a single horse. The driving seat in the front was much higher than the VIP seat in the back. small family doing short trip travel.Although the style is simple, the elegant shape is still noble, and the comfort of the carriage can be seen from the appearance of the shock absorber system.

Although Lu Run was the shopkeeper in front of the guys in the Liangshan Port warehouse, he treated his subordinates with a serious attitude, but now he seemed to be a little childish when he was happy, and he took Maji's hand and got into the car side by side.They first went to the clinic to find their brother Lu Wo, and they were about to go home, so they had to see their brother anyway.

After several months of learning medical skills with Huasheng, Lu Wo has made great progress in his skills. When he saw his new sister-in-law, he was very happy.When Maggie saw his uncle, he was also a little shy.

After they had a light meal together, they said goodbye to Lu Wo and went for a drive at the pier.Along the way, such a novel foreign carriage attracted people's attention, and the beautiful men and women on it were even more heart-stirring.

They drove across the main road of the wharf, crossed the stone bridge of the official road, and turned onto another country road. After checking that there was no one in front and behind, Lu Run grabbed Ma Ji's waist and talked to her.If a pedestrian came by by chance, Ma Ji would shy away from Lu Run all the way.

Lu Run asked her: "Tomorrow we will go back to my hometown together. The road is full of pedestrians. Are you going to sit far away from me like this?"

"Tomorrow, I won't be afraid of tomorrow, because I will soon be your man?"

"Haha, it's not bad, just sit down, we don't have to be afraid of others today!"

This is marrying a daughter-in-law to add to the New Year, or returning home in good clothes. Needless to say, Lu Run is dancing happily.On the other hand, Maggie has a guarantee for the next half of his life. When he thinks that they will set off together tomorrow, the whole journey will be a sweet world for two people, and they are also happy from ear to ear.

The next day, when they were about to leave, Liu Tao's grandparents hurried over. Grandma thought that the Chinese New Year would be eight days away, and no one cared about picking up her grandson. The grandparents could only take care of it. .

Last night, grandma and grandpa discussed in the middle of the night, intending to take Lu Run's carriage back home, but grandpa refused to go back. He excused that his old cold legs were not strong enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find a good doctor in his hometown if he fell ill.In fact, he is in love with the good life in the Jin Mansion and doesn't want to move.When he thought of the drafty and dark dilapidated house in his hometown, he felt anxious, and he didn't want to go back to his old life.Grandma had no choice but to come to Lu Run by herself.
