Chapter 698: Life Overseas

The sea turned out to be so big.

This is the emotion of the tea master, she has set foot on the shore of the sea, once stood on the beach and looked into the distance, but only when she took a sea boat for several days and did not see the land, she really understood the vastness of the sea, and also realized what kind of mood Shen Leng said that no matter how many people go to sea together for a long time, they will feel lonely.

Perhaps man is not born to belong to the sea, but he is only forced to conquer the sea to prove his strength.

Powerful sailors could not stop the soldiers from thinking about the land, and every old man had said the word down-to-earth when teaching his children and grandchildren, but those who had not drifted on the sea would not understand that the word down-to-earth sometimes referred to longing.

But fortunately, the tea master is not the only woman in this team, and there is also a red eleven lady who has turned everyone upside down in the team of the sailor.

Hong Shi Niang has a strong sense of self-esteem, she doesn't even accept men, she doesn't accept any man, and of course she won't be convinced by the tea master, she just respects it enough but doesn't think that the tea master is as terrifying as Chen Ran said they said, they are all women, what's the difference.

Until one afternoon when everyone was a little drowsy and sleepy on the boat, Hong Shiniang finally couldn't hold it back, and took advantage of no one to invite the tea master to the stern of the boat to try it.

The tea master went to the appointment with a smile and returned soon.

After Chen Ran knew it, she kept asking how miserable the Red Eleven Niang was, and the Red Eleven Niang would give Chen Ran a kick in the ass every time and then turn around and leave, so she wouldn't say how badly she lost, and the tea master naturally wouldn't say, anyway, since that day on, she saw that the title of the tea master has changed, no longer the general's wife, but my eldest brother.

Don't want to be admired by so many excellent women, Chen Ran said that if the tea master is really a man, he may be an all-male public enemy and attract hatred.

"Actually, it's not too far to get there."

Shen Leng stood on the side of the side and pointed to the west: "I heard the people of the caravan say that if you sail all the way to the west, you can reach a place that we are completely unfamiliar with, and the words spoken and written by the people there are different from ours, and only a well-equipped and well-supplied fleet can reach it, at least for a year or even more than a year on the sea." ”

The tea master stuck out his tongue: "A few years." ”

Walking on land for a year can be irritating, and sailing on the sea for a year is crazy.

"The main thing, rumors of a spell."

Shen sneered and explained: "I heard them mention that someone once wanted to go over there to have a look, and prepared a fleet of more than a dozen large ships, set off with plenty of food and fresh water, but there was a problem during the voyage, the crew began to fall ill on a large scale, their skin festered, and their teeth began to fall down, so some people said that this was the curse of the kraken, and the fleet had to return, and it took two years to go back and forth, and when they went, less than 400 people from more than a dozen ships and more than 3,000 people came back alive, and everyone who came back was about to be unable to hold on." ”

The tea master opened his mouth wide in fright: "Is there really a kraken?" ”

"Definitely not."

Shen Leng said: "The last time I came back from Qiuli, I was on the same boat with the people of the Shen family, and I expected that the people of the Shen family suspected that it was a disease. ”

The tea master snorted: "The people of the Shen family said yes, then it should be." ”

"Leng Zi."

"Huh?"

"Are you afraid of the sea?"

"I'm a big man, standing up to the sky and the earth, and I'm afraid of the sea."

The tea master bowed his head: "Yes." ”

Shen Leng let out a long breath: "I'm afraid." ”

The tea master looked up at Shen Leng, and subconsciously held Shen Leng's hand.

Shen Leng smiled hard: "Maybe someone is not afraid of the sea by nature, I am the kind of person who is relatively timid, I grew up by the river when I was a child, if I am not hungry, I will not go into the water to catch fish, I am afraid of water, I am naturally afraid." ”

Tea Master: "But that time, Mr. Shen, we were deliberately caught by water bandits, and you jumped into the river and went upstream." ”

Shen Leng clenched the tea master's hand: "I forgot to be afraid at that time." ”

This was the first time he had told the tea master that he was afraid of water, and he only told the tea master that he would never tell others that when he stared at the depths of the sea, there would be an irresistible fear, which would make his hands and feet cold, and the people in the water division would never know what kind of struggle this young general had to overcome his fear of water, he once stepped on the back of a whale, and looked very chic, but he just forced himself to adapt to the sea.

He is the general of the water division, and a general of the water division who is afraid of water will not only be ridiculed, but also a loser.

Shen Leng does not allow himself to fail, he is high-minded but not arrogant, and he does not allow himself to fail because he is afraid of being disappointed.

"Is there any useful way to do this?"

Tea Ye bumped Shen Leng's shoulder with his head: "Let me not be so afraid." ”

"Don't go to sea."

Shen Leng rubbed the tea master's head, thinking in his heart that she would never let her touch the things she didn't like in the future, she was afraid of the deep sea, so stay away from the deep sea, but if she wanted to do this, she had to make herself stronger.

"Won't I lose to you, then?"

Tea Ye pursed his lips: "The most correct thing to do should be to overcome your fear like you, how did you do it?" ”

"This ......"

Shen Leng pointed to a column of water spraying up in the distance on the side of the big boat: "Ride it." ”

The tea master looked at the distance and was eager to try.

Shen Leng grabbed the tea master's hand: "Don't go......"

Tea Master suddenly thought of one thing: "Our sailor team also wanders on the sea all year round, and it seems that there is no such strange disease in life?" ”

Shen Leng snorted: "It may be a heavenly favor." ”

The tea master hummed, and at this time there was a gurgling sound in her stomach, and her face was slightly red.

Shen sneered: "I'll cook for you." ”

Tea Master: "No, I'll do it." ”

Shen Leng: "The supplies on our ship are still quite short. ”

Tea Master: "Can you explain what you say?" ”

Shen Leng: "Can't ......"

He turned to leave, and after a while came back with a small basin: "First make do with this mat, you can't carry too much fruit on the ship and it's easy to rot, so this thing can be eaten with fruit on top, at first it will feel unpalatable, but after a long time, this thing becomes delicious." ”

The tea master looked at it, and it was actually a small pot of bean sprouts.

"The climate at sea is humid, so our people will bring more beans to sprout, click, and grab a handful to eat when they have nothing to do."

Shen Leng handed a small pot of bean sprouts to the tea master and went to cook, the tea master pinched two bean sprouts and put them in his mouth, there was a sweet feeling, sure enough, click, crunchy, slightly sweet.

Seek to stand.

Zhuang Yong was already packing his luggage, and Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Ruorong had almost packed up all the things to prepare, just waiting for His Majesty's will.

Mr. Shen looked at Zhuang Yong: "Your Majesty may not call you back." ”

Zhuang Yong smiled and shook his head: "What do you think?" ”

Mr. Shen smiled but did not speak.

In fact, both of them understand that His Majesty's will will come sooner or later, this time Shen Leng led the army south, and the will should be brought together, thinking that it was that stupid boy who passed the will, both of them were still a little weird in their hearts.

"We're fighting for more than a year."

Zhuang Yong sat there and watched his daughter pack up her things, her eyes full of doting.

"It's okay to go back, they are always not used to life here, after returning to Chang'an, it is estimated that I have a lot of time to spend with them, do you think you will be forgotten by Your Majesty? If I am recalled to Chang'an, you will have to go back as well, we are doing something that Your Majesty does not like. ”

Mr. Shen let out a long breath: "So I'll go and see it again, it shouldn't be long before I go back." ”

"Go ahead, I'll ask Ruorong to cook a few dishes tonight, and you come back early."

"Yes."

Mr. Shen walked out of Zhuang Yong's general's mansion, raised his head and looked at the sky, the weather here is really boring, the northern part of Daning is cold in winter, but the slightest movement on the side of Qiuli will sweat, this kind of stuffiness will make people from the north of Daning punished, and it took several years for the soldiers who lived in Qiuli to barely get used to it.

It's already July, and the temperature here can make people desperate, and if you stand in the sun for a little longer, your skin will not be able to stand it.

The carriage has been waiting at the door, after Mr. Shen got on the car, he did not feel that the carriage was covering the scorching, but it was even more stuffy, he pushed the window and looked out, those who had stabilized their lives had a smile on their faces, although the taxes levied by Daning were not light, but they were less than those of the court, these people had more or less surplus food and money in their hands, and there was hope for the days, and people became cheerful.

But the hatred did not dissipate.

At the beginning, Zhuang Yong judged that within a year and a half, the Qiuli army and rebels scattered in various parts of Qiuli should be wiped out, but now several years have passed, and the war has not stopped, so Zhuang Yong is gradually reducing the pressure on the people of Qiuli, their lives are getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer people willing to join the rebels.

The carriage passed by a wooded field on the side of the road, and a young man in a Taoist robe was sitting on the side of the road talking about something, surrounded by hundreds of people who were seeking to establish the country, listening very attentively, and they nodded from time to time, with a look of sincere convincing on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Shen was a little proud, and this method was what he thought of.

In the year when Qiuli was destroyed, Mr. Shen suggested to His Majesty that Taoists should be selected from all over Daning to Qiuli to preach and preach.

In fact, Mr. Shen also had selfish intentions when he offered advice to His Majesty at that time, and if he could ask for it for this reason, there would be no suspicion of His Majesty now, but His Majesty did not agree.

The carriage continued to move forward along the road, and the mountain villa was about half an hour away from Zhuang Yong's general's mansion, this road Mr. Shen was already very familiar with, Qiu Liren was also full of fear of the Daning army, and he was escorted by Zhuang Yong's personal soldiers, so he never thought that someone would stop him here.

It's a group of people.

Seek to establish people.
