However, when Lin Ruyu took a closer look, she found that many straw huts had been set up on the slopes that were not flooded. People standing or sitting in the huts were all staring closely at the big boat.

This look made Lin Ruyu feel that her two Lin boats looked like two pieces of fat.

It seems that the danger tonight comes not only from An Ziyuan's lackeys, but also from the countless hungry wolves on the slope.

"Let's go another fifteen miles and enter Wangping Town Pier to spend the night. I have some friendship with the chief of Wangping Town. With him here, these people on the hillside won't be a worry."

Lin Ruyu looked back at Shen Ge who was standing at the door of the room, and said with a smile, "Brother Shen is indeed the boss of Wusha Town. He has made friends all over the world at a young age."

What do you mean by being young? It seems like how old you are. Shen Ge raised his eyebrows and reminded "kindly", "'Although I'm only three years older than the second sister, I've already followed the third uncle on many escort trips. , of course I know more people than my second sister."

cut!

Although I look only fourteen now, after being an orphan for seventeen years, I am already thirty-one, so I won’t care about a teenage brat like you.

Lin Ruyu snorted secretly and asked, "Is your injury better?"

Shen Ge, who thought he had won the quarrel, was elated, "I'm mostly recovered after a day's rest. I'll keep vigil tonight."

In Shen Ge's opinion, as long as he doesn't feel dizzy, he'll be fine. The stab wounds on his body are all trivial!

A day's rest would make him feel better? Lin Ruyu really wanted to go up and punch him to see if he was okay.

"Want to keep vigil? It depends on whether my uncle agrees or not."

Shen Ge smiled brightly, "Then let's take a look."

When the boat arrived at Wangping Town, it was already dark.

The docks and trees outside Wangping Town have been engulfed by floods, and the town gate made of tied bamboo poles with two lanterns hanging on it looks extremely simple and shabby.

Without waiting for the militiamen on duty on the town wall to shout, the leader of the ship shouted loudly, "We are the Lin family merchant ship from Xuanzhou that went west to deliver medicinal materials two days ago. Please help me, brothers, to open a shipyard that can accommodate two large ships. We are going to Spend the night in the village."

"Waiting..." the militiaman on the wall replied and ran to deliver the message.

Since ancient times, ships in the south and horses in the north have horse stables and stables, and shipyards. As the name suggests, a shipyard is a place where ships can dock.

"Wangping Town Pier is only half a day's boat ride away from the Xianxian Gorge. In order to prevent bandits from coming and causing trouble, the town has built many boathouses where boats can stay overnight. After the boat enters the boathouse, the people in the town will help guard the boat. If the boat or If the goods are damaged or lost in the shipyard, the owner of the shipyard shall pay double the price."

Liu Xuliang, who reported directly to Shen Shang about the situation in Wangping Town, changed the subject and lowered his voice, saying, "As far as my subordinates know, Xu Qiankui, the head of Wangping Town, has a good personal relationship with the leader of the first-line gorge bandit. Presumably, the news that the bandit leader was killed, The news has already reached Wangping Town, we must be careful of being made dumplings by people from both sides tonight."

Shen Shang nodded straightly. Xianxian Gorge and Wangping Town were not far apart but they could live in peace. There must be something fishy secretly, but it won't be too dangerous tonight. "Xu Liang didn't know something. There is someone on our ship who has been friends with Xu Qiankui for many years."

Liu Xuliang, who was affectionately called by his great hero, was full of excitement, "Who are you always talking about?"

Shen Shangzhi and Yourong Yan said, "Wu Sha Town, Shen Ge."

Shen Ge? Never heard of it.

However, this does not prevent Liu Xuliang from flattering him, "No matter where my uncle is, he is surrounded by talented people."…

When the two ships docked in the shipyard, Liu Xuliang saw Shen Ge walking into the room. He was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped, "Uncle...uncle, he, he..."

"He is Shen Ge."

Of course Shen Shangzhi understood why Liu Xuliang was so rude, because Shen Shangzhi's eldest son Shen Wenliang once guarded Qingzhou with Xu Shaobiao, and Shen Ge's appearance was exactly the same as Shen Wenliang's.

Shen Shangzhi felt pain in his heart, but his face was calm: "Shen Ge, this is Liu, head of the Xuanzhou Zhengping Escort Agency."

Shen Ge cupped his fists in greeting and said, "Your heroic deed of recovering ten thousand taels of escort silver from Shuangjian Village is like thunder to Shen Ge's ears. I am lucky to see you today."

The most glorious moment in Liu Xuliang's life of more than 40 years was the incident mentioned by Shen Ge. This was also his capital to brag while drinking, but in front of Shen Shangzhi, this incident was not worth mentioning at all.

.

Liu Xuliang clasped his fists and said, "Subordinate..."

Before Liu Xuliang could finish speaking, Shen Shangzhi said, "Xuliang, please step aside first."

"Yes." Liu Xuliang immediately stopped, bowed to Shen Geshen, and left.

After the door was closed, Shen Ge calmed down and asked with a smile, "Uncle and Captain Liu have known each other for a long time?"

If not, how could Liu Xuliang, who was rumored to be so proud that he could only look at people through his nostrils, give such a great gift to his unknown self?

He must have mistaken himself for his great-uncle's direct descendant.

Shen Shangzhi said briefly, "Well, I met him several times when I was in Qingzhou. Is Ge'er's injury better?"

"Much better." Shen Ge raised his arm to prove that his injuries were no longer harmful. "Uncle, I will go visit Xu Lichang right now and won't go back to the ship for dinner tonight."

Shen Shangzhi nodded, "Let Lu Zheng and Liu Xuliang go with you. You have to be more careful. If you are injured, don't drink."

"It's enough for me to go alone." The slightly childish Shen Ge was confident, "Don't worry, I will return safely."

Shen Shang stared at him for a long time before nodding, "Okay, go early and come back early."

"Follow the order." Shen Ge smiled mischievously, turned around and exited the room.

In the room, Shen Shang raised his hand and pressed his forehead, tears welling up in his eyes.

Seeing Shen Ge coming off the boat, the steward of the shipyard who was chatting with the bowman walked a few steps forward and saluted, "It's great that you are safe and sound. After the flood came, the old man in charge was thinking about you every day. .”

Shen Ge returned the salute with clasped fists, "Uncle Luo..."

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen!" Shen Ge was interrupted before he finished speaking.

Hearing this charming cry, Lin Ruyu quietly opened the window a crack and saw a girl of 14 or 15 running towards Shen Ge with her dress flying like a white butterfly.

This scene, tsk tsk tsk——

Seeing Xu Yuefeng running over, Shen Ge turned around subconsciously. Lin Ruyu, who was caught peeking at the gossip, panicked and immediately pushed the window open.

"Shen Ge——" Xu Yuefeng rushed over to hug Shen Ge.

Shen Ge took a few steps back to avoid it, and then asked Xu Yuefeng, who was wearing a white hairpin and a white dress, "Sister of the Xu family, at home..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Hearing Shen Ge ask about this, Xu Yuefeng couldn't help crying anymore, "My grandma, second aunt, third aunt and two nephews were all washed away by the water. Aweng also fell ill. Brother Shen, come back with me." Let’s take a look at home.”

Aweng means grandfather, which is a commonly used title among local people.

The flood came quickly and fiercely, and many old and weak women and children died in the flood. Shen Ge felt very uncomfortable when he heard that the Xu family suddenly lost such a person. He followed Xu Yuefeng in a hurry and asked, "But Have you sent someone to look for it?”

"A lot of people were sent out, but there was no news after several days of searching." Xu Yuefeng's voice was filled with tears.

Lin Ruyu opened the window again, looked at Shen Ge walking as if his arms and legs were not injured, and pursed her lips hard.
