Fight the Giants

  Because they were going to stay overnight at Jining Wharf, the two stewards asked Huo Xi if he wanted to go to the hotel.

  Huo Xi thought that the two ships were full of goods, and remembered the bad experience in Huai'an a few years ago, so he did not agree.

   "It's better to spend the night on the boat. Everyone should work harder and be careful at night. When we arrive in Peiping safely, everyone will be rewarded."

"yes."

  Ta Yue looked at Huo Xi, this little master is a young girl, and she eats and lives with them, so she feels sorry for her.

   "Master, go and stay at the inn. The subordinates are guarding outside the door."

  Huo Xi smiled and shook his head: "No need. When I was young, I used a boat as my home, and I didn't think living on a boat was a hard job."

  Vanilla and Xia He also nodded: "The boat is our own territory, so we can sleep more peacefully."

   To stay at the pier for one night, Huo Xi told the men and the boatmen to keep an eye on the goods on board, and took two stewards, Tayue and two maids to the pier to look at the goods.

  I bought a lot of local products from Jining along the way, and bought a lot of various snacks sold on the wharf. Several people carried and carried them, and their mouths were not idle.

  Suddenly, Huo Xi felt that someone rubbed him, and the two paper bags in his hand disappeared.

   Just as he was dazed and didn't come back to his senses, Tayue over there slipped a black boy back.

  Su Zhe and Yuan Sheng saw Tayue's skill for the first time, and they didn't know what happened, but Tayue arrested him, this skill.

  The eyes of the two stewards looking at Tayue were full of stars.

  A boy of seven or eight years old was carried by Tayue by the lapel around his neck and slipped in front of Huo Xi. Even so, the black boy was still holding the pie in the paper bag in his hand and gobbling it up.

   Several people all looked at him, but he didn't stop talking.

  Xiang Cao went to check her and Xia He's purses, and then looked at the girl's. The girl didn't have any around her waist, they were all hidden in her sleeves. Silently took off the purse from his waist and put it in his arms.

  Huo Xi saw that he didn't touch everyone's purses, but only grabbed the food in his own hands, so he must not be the kind of person who steals.

"hungry?"

  The black boy was afraid that Huo Xi and others would **** the food in his hand, so he didn't speak, and he bit the food in his mouth desperately before he chewed it.

  Huo Xi sighed: "Eat slowly, you won't get it back."

  Give Tayue a look, and Tayue let go of him.

  As soon as he let go, the black boy wanted to sneak away. But how could Tayue be so quick, he didn't move, he just fished it out, and brought him back again.

  Boy Hei knew he had met someone powerful. Looking up at Tayue, the movements of his mouth slowed down.

  Plop knelt down towards Huo Xi: "Please forgive me, I'm just too hungry. I didn't steal your money."

  Holding the pie in front of Huo Xi with a look of reluctance, his eyes were still glued to it, obviously not full.

  Seeing that he was as old as her younger brother, Xia He couldn't bear it. Glancing at Huo Xi, he handed out the pie in his hand: "Let's eat it for you."

  The black boy didn't dare to answer, he just looked at Huo Xi, he could still see which of these people was the one who called the shots.

  Huo Xi sighed, took the food from Xia He's hand and stuffed it into his arms: "Take it and eat." Then he took everyone away.

  Hei boy stared blankly at Huo Xi and his party leaving.

  In the middle of Shenshi, as expected, dark clouds gathered, and a wind blew up on the river. After a while, heavy rain poured down.

  Huo Xi had already ordered the boatmen and fellows to cover the two ships with several layers of tarpaulins, so that no wind and rain could splash in.

   A group of people sat in the tea shop, looking at the thick rain curtain outside, even Tayue, who was usually not very emotional, looked at Vanilla in surprise.

  Vanilla was so proud that she hummed a few more times at the two stewards.

It caused the two stewards to pour tea and hand fruit to her: "I didn't expect Miss Vanilla to have such abilities, which is very admirable. We have Miss Vanilla along the way, which saves me a lot of worry. "

  Seeing that girl's chin raised high, with a smug look on her face, Huo Xi couldn't help laughing. If there is a tail behind it, I'm afraid it will be wagging happily.

   Didn't say anything about her, just looked towards the pier.

   From time to time, people are seen running in the rain, and the boatmen on the boat are scrambling to cover the cargo on the boat.

   I sighed and rejoiced in my heart.

   took out a silver bean and rewarded Vanilla: "Thanks to Vanilla today, we deserve a reward. Otherwise, we will be ruined."

   Seeing her proud, she tapped and said: "But we still need to continue to work hard. We usually have to watch more, learn more, observe and compare, and strive to be able to see the climate changes in three days, five days, and fifteen days."

   "Climate change in fifteen days?" Vanilla opened her mouth wide.

  Now the most powerful boat master can only predict the celestial phenomena within three to five days.

   "Fifteen days are only normal, and it's amazing that you can still see the changes in the sky after a month or a few months."

   "Is there such a powerful person?"

"Yes, there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond the people. Vanilla, you have to work harder, and you have to practice more calligraphy. When you practice more, I will find some books on celestial phenomena and sky-watching techniques for you to read. Let you also become a powerful master of sky watching."

   "Okay. I will definitely study hard!" I must study hard, so that I can help the girl in the future.

  Xia He now knows more words than she does, and can read simple ledgers. She won't be left behind either.

   An hour later, the rain stopped and the wind stopped. They bought some food and went back to the boat. After a simple dinner, we rested on the boat.

  The next day, when the two ships were about to set sail, Huo Xi was still asleep, and Xia He woke her up.

  Huo Xi woke up in a daze, seeing the two maids who were usually as good as her own sisters, now standing in front of her like cross-eyed cocks, she felt quite strange.

  Give them an explanation with their eyes.

   It turned out to be the boy Hei who stole her food yesterday, but this morning he was found hanging over the side of their boat, trying to sneak away with him. He was discovered by Tayue and wanted to drive him down.

  But after hearing what happened to him, Xia He couldn't bear it and wanted to keep him.

  The two quarreled in front of Huo Xi.

   "Girl, who knows if what he said is true. Unidentified people and boats are the most taboo when you go out, and there are many things where boats crash and people die." Vanilla disagrees with keeping people.

  Xia He felt that he was still young, only seven or eight years old, so he could have any evil intentions, "Didn't you also be rescued by the girl and follow the boat?"

   "That's me..." Vanilla poked her neck, "I kept it because of my ability! That black boy can eat and steal people's things, what else can he do?"

  Huo Xi rubbed his still-conscious head, eyes still closed: "Call him to me to have a look."

  Xia He immediately turned around and ran away. Soon, Ta Yueti came in with the black boy from yesterday.

  Seeing the tired look on the boy's face, obviously he didn't sleep last night, and asked him, "Why are you taking my boat?"

  Hei boy plopped down and knelt down towards Huo Xi: "The nobleman can keep me, I am willing to do anything. As long as I am not sent to the palace to be a eunuch, I am willing to sell myself to the nobleman."

  Huo Xi woke up all of a sudden, "You ran away because you wanted to be arrested and put into the palace as a eunuch?"
