Chapter 785 ·Bandits

Shang Junzhuo nodded solemnly, "Why, do you look down on me? This master cannot be vain. I can't guarantee that I can give you a good life. In short, if I eat, you will have something to eat. It's okay to take care of food and clothing."

Shang Junzhuo's master came back to his senses and said in a touching manner, "I have received your feelings, but it's a big deal. I have to discuss with the old woman."

Shang Junzhuo said, "This is what it should be. I didn't accept me as my apprentice in the past. Now that I have descendants, there are more ways to go. You and your master's wife should study it carefully."

Shang Junzhuo's master nodded. Although his clothes had been wet and the chill was biting, his heart was as hot as a stove, and his eyes were almost wet.

Shang Junzhuo finished speaking frankly and ran to care about Bai Xiuzhi's situation.

Shang Junzhuo's master looked at her busy back and nodded with satisfaction. He had just taken her as an apprentice to drive her to the shelves before, and he didn't care at all. When he talked to his wife, he just thought it was a joke. His wife advised him, "Junzhuo is a stable child, don't say that his apprentice is not an apprentice. Just give me some advice on what she wants to learn. Can't he really bring that skill into the coffin? Now the times have changed a lot, and there is no master or master, so don't take these in your eyes."

But Shang Junzhuo's master always felt uncomfortable.

How great it would be if Shang Junzhuo was a boy, he would definitely teach all the good skills he had learned from going overseas. If he really learned it, it would be enough for her to enjoy her whole life.

What a pity...

But at this moment, he felt that he was still too narrow-minded before.

Just as the old woman said, times have changed long ago. I wonder if my son is so open-minded and clear-headed that he is so worried that he and his wife have nowhere to rely on, so he sent Shang Junzhuo to meet him?

Shang Junzhuo's master made up his mind and decided to treat Shang Junzhuo as his own disciple. This skill naturally teaches everything. As for the difference between men and women... it doesn't seem to be very important.

Later, he actually went to tell his wife Shang Junzhuo's proposal. Although he was just a joke, he made his wife think seriously. The old woman secretly observed Shang Junzhuo for a while and found that she was not only open-minded and righteous, but also very sensible. If such a person was around to take care of her nearby, she and the old man would not be afraid of being bullied in their later years.

She discussed with Shang Junzhuo's master, "If that day comes, it will be good to have someone around you who knows the roots, the bottom line, the pain, and the heat. It will be better than our eyes, like a headless fly, rushing around. We have some money in our hands, and we can't use anything on weekdays. Even if we get sick, we can't fall ill together. We can always take care of each other. We are afraid that when the lonely one is left, the situation will be a little difficult. If she is willing to take care of her, then there is nothing better than this. What do you think of the head of the family?"

Shang Junzhuo's master said, "You let me think about it."

The two discussed and finally decided to join Shang Junzhuo. However, he also agreed with his wife, "Although they are masters and apprentices, they are girls after all, so we can't cause too much trouble to others. Moreover, you and I have no children. These external things must be left to her in a hundred years, even if they only have a thought."

Shang Junzhuo's master's wife smiled and said, "This is what I should do, I will follow your arrangements."

But what the old couple didn't expect was that when they went to Nanjing to join Shang Junzhuo, they learned that she had no longer lived in Nanjing. After careful investigation, they learned that the merchant had changed... Of course, this is all a story.

Seeing that Bai Xiuzhi was wet all over and his hair was wet on his forehead, Shang Junzhuo said quickly, "How is it, is it cold?"

That tone is like saying again - I didn't lie to you, aren't it?

Bai Xiuzhi said, "The storm has become much smaller now, and the boat is not shaking so much."

Shang Junzhuo nodded, "It should be nothing tonight. You should go back to the cabin to change your clothes and be careful of catching a cold."

"I'm fine." Bai Xiuzhi said, "This leather jacket is not wet. It's dry inside, only the hair is a little wet."

Shang Junzhuo didn't believe it, so he put his hand into Bai Xiuzhi's fur coat. It was indeed warm and there was no moisture at all. Her palm was pressed against Bai Xiuzhi's chest, and he could even feel his heartbeat. Shang Junzhuo's face suddenly burned, and he pulled his hand back without thinking, turning his back awkwardly, and even dared not look at Bai Xiuzhi's eyes.

Bai Xiuzhi was also a little stunned. The two of them were awkward and were discovered by the crew members not far away. They had to make a fuss again, "Oh, it's midnight, the couple's mouth is filled with oil, what are they talking about?"

"The heavens are not beautiful, but it is still raining. If the sky is as clear as the full moon, everything the two of them will be interesting."

"What do you know? Only when you speak in the rain can you be romantic! Mr. Bai is a scholar after all, and isn't it better than you who can't read a word like this?"

Everyone laughed and made Shang Junzhuo feel ashamed, and raised his feet and ran away in a hurry.

Everyone laughed louder, "Yeah, she's still shy."

The captain stood up and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and collect the cables. After being busy for the middle of the night, everyone has worked hard. I asked the boat sister-in-law to cook some noodles and eat some to warm the stomach, otherwise they will lose their energy tomorrow."

Everyone agreed and became busy with their hands and feet.

The boat sisters were clever and cooked a large pot of hot soup noodles in a short while, and there were meatballs made of fish and shrimps. They tasted not only refreshing, but also very chewy.

Bai Xiuzhi was also pulled over by Shang Junzhuo to eat a bowl.

He grew up with Tang since childhood, and many habits inherited Tang's family. He rarely ate anything at night, for fear of not digesting it, which would be bad for his health.

However, in the face of Shang Junzhuo's enthusiasm, he naturally couldn't refuse. Moreover, when people ate for a long time, the atmosphere was a little different. Even if you drink white porridge, you felt very delicious. Everyone was eating noodles in disguise, and the chill on their bodies immediately weakened a little. At this moment, someone suddenly pointed at the sea and shouted in surprise, "What is that?"

I saw a spot of light floating in the rainy night in the distance, like a flying firefly on the shaking sea. Everyone gathered around and looked around. Shang Junzhuo's master first reacted. He threw away his job and said loudly, "No! It's the pirates here! Everyone hurry up and prepare for the battle and beat the drum to remind the cargo ship next to him!"

This time, there were five ships traveling together to form a fleet. The other five ships were relatively smaller in size. If they drove alone, they would easily be targeted by pirates. Everyone helped each other and were relatively safer.

Shang Junzhuo's master was one of the most experienced people on the entire ship. He had a great majesty at his command. Everyone left their jobs and didn't care about noodles. They immediately ran to beat the drum to remind the ship behind. The sound of drums came from the quiet sea, which made people panic. Everyone looked uneasy and stared at the light spot in a daze.

The four ships behind immediately heard the drum sounds, and the captain discussed with Shang Junzhuo's master, "What should we do next?"

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw more and more light spots on the sea surface, and dozens of them were lit in an instant. They were so fast that they headed straight for the merchant ship.

Shang Junzhuo's master said, "The pirates know that their whereabouts are exposed and want to gain an advantage by quantity." He stared at the sea with his eyes steadily and immediately ordered, "Step the rudder and accelerate to the front right, everyone is full of energy. These pirates form gangs in groups, and once they catch up, the consequences are simply unimaginable. Everyone can't exert their energy. If they don't want to die here tonight, they have to work together!"
