As night falls, the sounds of drums and horns behind us, and the battles and sacrifices, all gradually fade away. A thinning moon hidden in the darkness hangs silently in the sky, as if we are remembering those who have just left us.
The snake pill was hung up in the main cabin, and each cabin could borrow some light. However, it was dark on General Su's ship, and they could only hear the sound of the oars entering and exiting the water. They could only follow closely at night.
Behind the turtle boat, fortunately the boat speed is not slow and it can still keep up with us.
Both ships had time to count the number of people. There were a total of 117 people on the turtle ship. The largest cabin on the upper floor at the front of the ship was occupied by the king and his wife. Next to it were General Ji and General Meng, who had a room each.
There are nineteen soldier dormitories on the whole ship. Except for one that is vacant and is used by the singing father and his daughter, the other eighteen are all occupied, with six people in each. Needless to say, the rear part is Hua and Xiaoyue's room.
There were a total of seventy-one people in the canoe, General Su, Sangou and his mother. My father was also on the boat. So, we escaped this time, a total of 188 people, including those who were able to fight, including Wang
One hundred and eighty people included
Hua and I were only engaged, so I was embarrassed to stay in their room because there were always two soldiers on duty working in the power warehouse, so I temporarily went to their room to fight guerrillas.
The king summoned us to him to discuss where to go next. The king said that at that time he decided to go to the island with the envoy, and had no intention of surviving, so he only took two old servants with him. Along the way, the envoy began to be polite.
He was polite and courteous, but later on, as he got closer to Luoyang, he started to offend more with his words. He also mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had a close relationship with Li Shang. Who do you think that Li Shang was? Isn't he the one I cooked earlier?
Li Shiqi's brother?
"At that time, King, what are your plans?" We all asked
"From the words of the envoy, I have a premonition that when I go to Hanting, even if the King of Han does not make things difficult for me, I will not be very happy. Moreover, if I am asked to face the north, how can I be happy?" After pondering for a moment, the king said again, "I
My relatives and friends are all on the island, what do you think I will do?"
Everyone was silent for a long time. Everyone thought about it, but they didn't say it out loud. General Meng broke the silence: "Prince Tian, you don't know. Fortunately, I didn't see Butler Liu's appearance in that rented house.
If I see it first, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take action smoothly.”
Wang laughed loudly and said: "So, you can't judge people by their appearance. I, Tian Heng, have been on the battlefield for many years. Who would have known that I would end up living on a deserted island? Who would have known that Tian Zong would find such a place on Zhangdao?"
At this point, everyone was extremely excited and looked at me with admiration. I got embarrassed and said, "King, it's getting late. I'm afraid everyone is already hungry."
So the bacon that had been stored in the warehouse was distributed to everyone, and there was also water. If we save a little, we would not be short of water for three to five days. We continued to study in Wang's main cabin while eating.
Those people had left the mainland and had no idea about the ocean. Looking at the Beidou in the sky, we were now driving southeast under the cover of night. So I suggested to Wang that we should not change the route for the time being and wait until dawn.
Later, Wang suggested that the weather in September was cool and he had not yet enjoyed the pleasure of admiring the moon at sea, so Wang, General Meng, General Ji and I climbed up the turtle's back through the two portholes in the front.
It is flat and solid, like a gentle hill. Four turtles are paddling steadily with their feet submerged in the water. We can only hear their sounds but not see their shadows from above. If the weather is fine, this is really a good place to cool off under the moonlight.
It’s not bad, even though it’s not a full moon, it still sheds enough light on the sea, like a piece of scattered and rippling silver-white feathers.
General Meng couldn't bear the coldness and suggested to Wang mysteriously, "Tian Zong and I listened to two little songs in Luoyang and liked them very much."
So the father and daughter who sang the song were called to the turtle's back to greet us respectively. Wang said, "From now on, we will be in the same boat, and these clichés can be removed." The old man thanked us.
Only then did I find out that the old man’s surname was Jiang, and his ancestors were from Lu. His daughter’s name was Jiang Wanqing, and she looked very similar to Xiaoyue.
A burst of plucking sounds suddenly filled the ears, and the clear sound filled the ears. It passed through everyone's eardrums like a breeze on the open sea. Everyone was immersed in the sound of music, as if the fierce battle not long ago had disappeared with the sound of the piano.
go
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wanqing's euphemistic and clear singing voice rang out in the night
Within a short distance, the sky is south and the earth is north, and the moon is missing in an instant and the flowers are flying.
Eyes filled with tears of farewell
Just say "take care and take care of yourself". The pain makes people reluctant to leave. Those who leave well will have a bright future.
At some point, the lady was also helped up by Tian Hua and Xiaoyue. When she heard this, she said, "Listening to this girl's song makes me feel very sad."
Jiang Wanqing and her daughter stopped in a hurry, a little scared, but Wang said, "This song is a bit sad, but it is exactly my mood at this time. I want to wait for you. Now the fish are in the sea, and the vines are on the high wall, but the hometown of the ancestral temple,
I have to stay away from now on, how can I feel happy? But the situation is like this, it has to be like this, I just ask you, from now on, work hard and don't forget your ancestors!"
We all shouted back: "We respect the king's teachings!"
"In this way, this song is very wonderful! It is exactly: Those who go well will have a bright future! I would like to thank Old Man Jiang here." After saying this, he bowed to the old man. The old man and his daughter were frightened to get up in a hurry and said hurriedly: "
My father and daughter have been living in Luoyang for many days. Although Luoyang is rich in resources and people, and it is a paradise on earth, they have never felt that they are settled now. Although the sea is always drifting and swaying, people always feel stable. If the king of the land does not take care of him, how can I, my father and my daughter be there?
today?"
Everyone nodded silently, only to hear a shout from behind, "Don't waste the good time, let's play another song!" It turned out to be General Su, who had been waiting for a long time in the canoe behind, standing on the deck of the ship.
It was full of people, and the three dogs were among them. Then, a more beautiful song blew across the sea.
I peeked at the painting in the field in the moonlight, and saw her looking into the distance intently, wondering what she was thinking. She seemed to be led into another world by the singing. I looked at her exquisite red lips and a lotus-like neck, and I felt a sudden sense of melancholy.
Born without reason
Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was secretly looking at me without being seen by me. There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking a little gloating.
At some point, the giant oar below stopped, and the soldiers inside were also listening to the singing outside.
General Meng suddenly reported to the king that every sergeant below had arranged a shift. There were a total of 108 people, working in groups of two, and each shift lasted half an hour. Calculating carefully, each person only had two days and nights.
Wang Yunnuo said, "If you take one more shift, you won't be too tired." However, General Meng added:
"Although it won't be too tiring, there are always people hanging around the eaves, which still affects the soldiers' normal rest." After that, he looked at me and the king fixed his eyes on me and said:
"Tian Zong, you have arranged a cabin for us, but don't you have a place to go?" I couldn't help but listen to Wang say again:
"Children of the world should not stick to worldly etiquette. Moreover, it is an extraordinary season. I have already betrothed my daughter to you. Why, do you want me to set up a few more tables?" After saying that, he looked at me and couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Tianhua threw herself into Madam's arms and said softly, "Mom, look at Dad and don't care about him." Madam kept comforting her, her love was beyond words.
I quickly said, "But, but, there is still Xiaoyue." I mean, there is still Xiaoyue in the lady's room, how can that be okay?
But King Tian said solemnly: "That girl Xiaoyue, I thought I did it carefully! I really promised that I was not admitted to the female university. Now that you have done it, don't push it out anymore, just keep it together." Xiaoyue and I suddenly had bright faces.
Blushed, Xiaoyue also used her eyes to gouge out the two generals, but they trembled on their feet and deliberately did not look at her.
And I, silently thank General Meng in my heart, he still has merits
