Tomb Raiders

A group of dozens of people stayed in Dengzhou for more than half a month, which also gave Shen Liaobai time to rest, so he stayed behind closed doors almost every day unless necessary, and Wen Hao often brought him some decoctions, Although Chu Yuyang wanted to take time to accompany him, he needed to pay more attention to finding a suitable ship or inquiring about news. This time the matter was serious, even with Qin Zhaonan helping him, he would not dare to be careless in the slightest .

The two of them still lived in the same room as usual, and Shen Liaobai had already fallen asleep when Chu Qianyang came back, but this night, Shen Liaobai held on until he came back.

Chu Yuyang closed the door, frowned in disapproval and said, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

The candlelight on the simple wooden table added a false color to Shen Liaobai's cheeks, Shen Liaobai was wrapped in a heavy winter coat, and said forcefully, "I want to ask you how the situation is going now?"

Chu Yuyang sighed, and forced Shen Liaobai who was sitting at the table to be half hugged and half hugged and sent to the bed, tucked up the quilt for him, and said: "In a few days, we should be able to set off. There are winds and waves, I don’t know if you will feel any discomfort.”

Shen Liaobai smiled, and said: "Wenhao already thought of it, and he is prescribing medicine for me these days, but I occasionally heard that our going to sea this time caused some commotion?"

Chu Yuyang raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "How could you even know about it? Those fishermen really went too far."

Shen Liaobai saw that his face turned a little bit cold, and quickly joked: "Could it be that Qin Jun teased some fisherman's daughter? If it really doesn't work, just leave him here to be a door-to-door son-in-law."

The corners of Chu Yuyang's lips twitched, he touched Shen Liaobai's cheek, the touch was warm, not as cold as when he came back a few days ago, he felt more at ease, and said: "We wanted to rent a boat. For larger fishing boats, an experienced fisherman is invited to steer the boat and guide the way. At the beginning, many people saw that our price was high and agreed very readily. Who would have thought that when they took out the chart, they would point out the place to them. Look, ten to ten have changed their faces, and rejected us in a hurry, even if the price was higher, they would not accept it."

Shen Liaobai frowned slightly, and said: "This is not easy."

Chu Yuyang held his hand tightly at this moment, and said: "This is not the only thing that is difficult to handle. I don't know which fisherman released it. It is said that our group of people is trying to set foot in the fairyland. Anyone who provides assistance Those who die will die. As soon as this word comes out, even if we offer sky-high prices, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find anyone. I also sent people to inquire about the news. Fishermen often go missing at the location indicated, and over time, no one wants to go to the nearby waters.”

Shen Liaobai pondered for a moment, "The boat is not a big deal. It is always possible to buy a boat. It is rare that experienced fishermen are needed. None of us in this group have experience in going to sea. In this way, it is a bit difficult to do. People who depend on the sea for food have a more deeply-rooted taboo against the sea than we do."

Seeing him contemplating all the way, Chu Yuyang took off his coat for him, and let Shen Liaobai lie down, "It's useless for you to think too much about this matter. Before you find a guide, the most important thing for you is to recuperate your body." Said After that, he went to wash himself, his hands and feet were always neat, and soon he also got on the bed.

The two of them covered the same quilt, although Shen Liaobai had long been used to it, he was still a little embarrassed, he shrank his hands and feet a little, and wanted to make room for the inside of the bed, but Chu Yuyang grabbed his waist and brought him into his arms instead , Chu Yuyang lowered his voice, and thoughtfully said: "The mansion in Dengzhou is really a bit dilapidated, and many things are not very convenient."

Shen Liaobai was startled for a while, and soon his whole face was flushed red. He gave Chu Yuyang a quick look, and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Chu Yiyang narrowed his eyes, stared at Shen Liao's white and rosy cheeks for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "You forgot, according to what Mr. Button said, the closer I am to you, the better it will be for your body. "

Shen Liaobai was not good at dealing with such words, and Chu Yuyang was never like this. He was a little at a loss, and finally frowned: "Don't block me with Mr. Button's words."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, not intending to pay any more attention to Chu Yuyang, Chu Yuyang squeezed his still red earlobe amusedly, and stopped bothering him, the two embraced and fell asleep.

The embarrassment of Chu Yuyang was resolved after only two days. It was a coincidence that although Dengzhou was not prosperous, it finally had a little trade with Fusang Silla due to its proximity to the sea, but it was not prosperous. It so happened that there was a merchant who, after losing business, wanted to sell his boat, and the boatman and helmsman on the original ship were also disbanded. When Qin Zhaonan heard the news, he didn't bother to inform Chu Yuyang, so he found the merchant first, and not only I bought the boat and hired some of the boatmen. These people are not natives of Dengzhou, and they have spent half their lives on the sea, but they don't care about the local taboos of Dengzhou.

Under the suggestion of these people, the Chu family added some necessary items, picked a good day with calm weather, and prepared to set off.Chu Yuyang left four or five buddies behind to pass on the news. He brought Laifu with him. If anything happened, he could ask Laifu to bring the information back to Dengzhou and hand it over to these buddies.

According to the chart, Penglai Island is not very far away, but there is a cape to go around. According to the boatman's estimate, if the weather is good, it will take about two or three days to arrive.

Originally, everyone was a little worried because the sea area was very ominous in the mouth of Dengzhou fishermen, but unexpectedly, the merchant ship passed there very smoothly, and the sun was shining brightly for three consecutive days, and the wind and waves were also calm. Not too much, the boatman even said that the money was earned too easily, so he intends to refund some of it.

Thanks to the good weather, Shen Liaobai didn't feel any discomfort when he went out to sea for the first time, not to mention that Chu Yuyang handed over the charts to Qin Zhaonan in the past two days, and stayed by his side all day long as if to make up for it. Although the act of intimacy often embarrasses Shen Liaobai, it is indeed very good for his health.

On the fourth day of the boat trip, Qin Zhaonan found the room for the two of them. He opened the door carelessly, and at a glance, he saw two people sitting and lying down inside, but there was no overly intimate behavior. He sighed in disappointment , Said: "I also wondered what you were doing hiding in there every day. It turned out that you were just reading."

Chu Yuyang glanced at him, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Qin Zhaonan leaned against the door, raised his eyebrows and said, "You should have noticed it."

Chu Yuyang put down the book, and he exchanged glances with Shen Liaobai, "Is there still nothing on the sea?"

Qin Zhaonan rubbed his brows, and said helplessly: "According to the sea chart, we should already be near Penglai Island, but we have stayed in this sea area for a long time, and the sea is boundless, beautiful is very beautiful, look It will get boring after a long time."

Chu Jianyang frowned when he heard the words, "What did the boatmen say?"

"What else can I say, we gave so much money, they naturally can't talk about the return flight, only whether there is a problem with the chart, and some people say to stay here for a while to see the situation." He shrugged, his face There is some disapproval.

Chu Yuyang pondered for a moment, "Then stop here, and let everyone rest. After a few days, if there is no clue, we will return."

Qin Zhaonan stood up straight in surprise, "Just stop like this? According to me, if you look around here, you can't find anything. It's hard to guarantee that the boatmen didn't go in the wrong direction. It's better to go back and find the right direction." done."

Chu Yuyang shook his head, "This location is not too far from Dengzhou, and these boatmen have been traveling between Dengzhou and Silla all year round, so they should be very familiar with this sea area. Judging by their age, they are all familiar with it. There shouldn’t be such a mistake, so let’s stay for a few days, since it’s a fairy island, it’s impossible for it to exist in such an upright manner, otherwise someone in Dengzhou has already seen it.”

Qin Zhaonan also sounded very reasonable, he closed the door and said: "All right, all right, then I won't bother you two."

At the last moment when the door was closed, Qin Zhaonan heard Chu Yuyang say coldly: "Remember to knock on the door."

In the cabin, the sunlight from outside spilled in through the narrow window, casting a small patch of light that seemed warm, but after all, it was early spring and it was the sea, so it was not very warm in reality. Shen Liaobai was wrapped tightly, Laying on the bed, he was holding a volume of books. He didn't speak until now. After the door was closed, he said: "People in the world often think of mirages. Do you think the same is true for Penglai Xiandao?"

Chu Yuyang sat on the side of the bed, and first kissed him on the cheek, which was probably warmed by the stove in his arms. Shen Liaobai's skin was soft and warm, which made Chu Yuyang feel relieved, "I can only say that I guessed so. , if the sky fails, we can only go back first, after all, there are dozens of people on board, and the food we carry won't last long."

As a result, as one wished, the originally calm sea became foggy on the second night, and the fog came very quickly. Soon, even standing on the bow of the boat, you could only see a small piece of dark sea water under the boat with the wind lantern. , although the boatmen have not seen heavy fog on the sea, they are still a little uneasy. Logically speaking, the weather these two days has been fine and there is no rain or snow. It should not be such a heavy fog. Seven or eight boatmen gathered outside. Together with more than a dozen Chu guys, they stood all over the bow and stern of the ship, staring at the thick fog around them very vigilantly.

In such a battle, even Shen Liaobai, who had already fallen asleep, came out of the cabin wearing a big coat, Chu Yuyang stood beside him, and Qin Zhaonan sat in the bow of the boat.

"This fog looks scary, but I don't know why I don't think it's scary." Shen Liaobai folded his hands in his sleeves, staring at the milky white fog that could almost condense water, said softly.
