Fight the Giants Chapter 292

Chapter 292 From Yuezhou

Of the three boats, only Guangfengshui was hacked several times by the water thief boss.

Fortunately, the cargo was wrapped with sackcloth and oilcloth, and the ship was loaded with wood, so there was no loss.

Huo Xi, Yang Fu and others were greatly relieved.

We discussed together, and felt that the guys who came out this time performed well, they were not afraid of life and death, and they didn't run away before the battle, so they decided to give each of them ten taels of silver as a reward.

The Bao Xia family rewarded another twelve more. His family received a total of forty taels, and began to refuse to accept it. Seeing that Huo Xi insisted on giving it, Zuo happily accepted it under Bao Xia's signal.

All the guys also expressed their thanks. They had already been subsidized with the ship, but this time they got another reward, which was several months' wages, so they were very happy.

"Thank you, my boss!" "We are on board!"

"In the future, everyone will be united and Guangfeng water will be cured, and everyone will get more year-end bonuses." Yang Fu encouraged everyone.

"Yes, I must do my best!"

Huo Erhuai heaved a sigh of relief. If he was robbed by water thieves this time, it would be a trivial matter to lose the goods.

These guys all have families, which family has lost their lives and must not break their hearts?

Having lived in the water for more than ten years, Huo Erhuai felt for the first time that Huo Xi was going to be very dangerous in this way.

Holding Huo Xi tightly: "Xi'er, next time we go out on the boat, don't follow, just ask your uncle to bring more men, and you stay at home with your mother."

Huo Xi hugged his arm, and glanced at Yang Fu: "Father, you are not worried about uncle?"

Huo Erhuai also looked at Yang Fu: "Why don't you worry. But your uncle is a man, which is different from you. If your uncle wants to become a man, you can't lock him in the house. Whenever you walk outside, you will be in danger of one kind or another. , he just needs to be more careful. But you, you are getting older now, almost twelve years old, why don't you stay at home?"

Huo Erhuai looked at her attire, the number of times he saw her dress up as a daughter in these years was pitifully infrequent, and his heart ached.

"I heard that there are some academies in the city that specialize in accepting girls. How about, dad will send you to study for a few years? Shall we also learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

This child is by his side, from such a young age to now, he will be called someone in a few years.

Follow him and his mother, and I don't know who I will find in the future. If they wronged their children, maybe they could go to a women's academy, and they could be gilded with gold. If they knew a lot of people, would they be able to marry into a noble family in the future?

Huo Xi smiled: "Father, I don't want to go to that academy. I'm not illiterate, and I've read a lot of books. It's enough. For people like us, how about learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Make more money, In the future, I will buy more property and have money on my back, who would dare to look down on me?"

Huo Erhuai was not comforted, and looked at her worriedly and sighed.

Yang Fu sat aside and looked at him with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what are you worried about? Let's help Xi'er earn more money and give her more dowry in the future. Who dares to show her face? If you dare to bully her, I will bring someone to beat her up." Go to the door."

Huo Xi smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Huo Erhuai sighed and stopped talking. Children have ideas, but he can't speak to them.

It was already dark outside, and the three boats found a shelter from the wind and stopped.

Huo Erhuai went out of the cabin to help tie the boat. Turning my head to look, I saw many boats parked far and near, and I was so frightened that I trembled twice.

"Xi'er, Fuer!"

Huo Xi and Yang Fu hurried out of the cabin when they heard his trembling voice, Huo Erhuai pointed to the nearby boats: "Look, why are there so many boats around us?"

There was a big battle not long ago, if there is another wave of water thieves, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it.

Huo Xi hurriedly raised the binoculars and looked towards the nearby ships.

After a while, he put it down and comforted Huo Erhuai: "Father, don't worry, they are all passenger ships and merchant ships. It should be that we had a big fight with water thieves just now, and these ships followed us for shelter."

"Ask for shelter?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Well, I'm afraid we'll be seen by others for showing such a trick. It's okay, everyone get together, if there are water thieves again, we will help each other."

Turned to discuss with Yang Fu again: "Uncle, tell the men of the two boats to order them to watch the night in batches tonight. Make sure to stay vigilant in groups of two or two."

Yang Fu nodded in agreement.

Bao Xia listened from the side, and said: "I'll guard our boat. The water thieves didn't go back, I'm afraid they will notice it inside, or they will send out more water thieves to take revenge. Let's keep an eye on it tonight. some."

Huo Erhuai nodded again and again: "That's right, I'm afraid that they will wake up and come out with all their strength. I will change guards with you."

Yang Fu also gathered the guys together to arrange a vigil.

Huo Xi helped Mrs. Zuo to prepare dinner for everyone, eat early and rest early, and also changed the vigil.

Everyone usually prepares dry food when they go out on the boat, but the Huo family's boat follows, and the boat is full of belongings, so everyone always prepares a hot soup to eat.

There is no shortage of rice, grain, oil, salt, etc. on the Huo family's boat. There are also a lot of meat, fresh eggs, salted eggs, and dried river delicacies.

Huo Erhuai also brought Bao Kang to the net nearby, and caught a lot of fish and shrimp. After a while, the smell of hot food wafted far away.

Attracted a boat to approach.

Huo Xi and others hurriedly stood on the deck to guard.

A young man stood on the bow of the boat, and bowed his hands to Huo Xi and the others: "Xia Wen Xingning is from Yuezhou, and his family is a porcelain maker. Thanks to you, you drove away the water thieves and saved us merchant ships from being robbed for a while." Fan, I'm here to thank you."

Huo Xi heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Fu.

Yang Fu said: "You're welcome. We are just protecting ourselves."

That Wen Xingning said with a smile: "The first time I came out, I encountered such a thing, and I was so frightened that I was so frightened. I always thought that Haiyan Heqing was not prepared at all. If I was robbed by water thieves, it would be a shame to lose my belongings." It's a small matter, I'm afraid that the whole boat will never go back."

"I'm worried that the water thief will come to his senses tonight and send more troops over. I'm here to let you know. I hope everyone will help each other. If you need it, we can help each other."

Yang Fu also bowed to the other party: "Thank you. We have made some preparations, and I hope you will be more vigilant tonight, and you will be on duty at night. If there is any movement, please call the police."

Wen Xingning nodded to Yang Fu, admiring him for being young and thoughtful.

Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Huo Xi looked at the direction of the bow of her boat and smiled: "Do you need hot food? One tael of silver a piece."

The man came back to his senses, his face was a little shy, and he nodded: "Yes, if it's not troublesome, please prepare two copies for me."

Huo Xi nodded, and asked Zuo to give him two portions from his family's food.

asked him: "Are you the kiln mouth of Yuezhou? Do you produce celadon?"

Wen Xingning nodded: "Yes. Celadon is mainly fired in the Yuezhou area. But white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, and colored porcelain are also fired."

Huo Xi asked him again: "You seem to be coming from Songjiang Mansion?"
