"It's not impossible to buy a boat."
Finally, when Xiao Han chewed the back of his tongue and almost lost his breath, Gupu finally nodded slowly.
"Dad!" Xun'er on the side saw that his father seemed to agree to this deceitful disciple, and he became furious. He took his father's arm and shook it violently. He looked at Xiao Han as if he were looking at the enemy who killed his father.
"but……"
Gupu, who was shaken to pieces, struggled to pull his arm back from his daughter's hand. Without waiting for the overjoyed Xiao Han to hand over the contract, he continued: "But I have no money!"
"Gah? No money?"
The smile that had just risen on Xiao Han's face froze, and the hand holding the contract froze in mid-air! On the contrary, Xun'er, who had been angry just now, turned from worry to joy and began to stare at him with great pride.
"Yes, no money!" Gupu, who was mostly drunk, shook his fingers, and finally pointed to the warehouse in the village and said: "If you really want to buy a boat, you have to sell these things! Otherwise, Xiao Hou will Give it to me on credit? I'll pay you back when I have the money?"
"Do you want credit?" Xiao Han opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at the seemingly loyal Gupu, and then at Xun'er, who looked like a thief and a fox, and the flesh on his cheeks twitched twice unconsciously.
Haven't I heard before that the people in the Miao Village are the most straightforward? Why can't the father and daughter in front of them be associated with the word straightforward?
"Brother Pupu, stop joking! When doing business, brothers have to settle accounts clearly! I'm going out with real money, you can't just make a white note!"
"There's nothing we can do about it, we have no money now anyway!"
"Don't have money? You can also use gold or silver. I don't mind it."
"nor!"
"Ahem...where are the gems? Rhino horns, ivory?"
"None of them! Either give it on credit, give it away for free, or find someone else."
"Well……"
Xiao Han was speechless. Outside the window, a crow flew past with a croaking sound, which perfectly matched the expression on his face.
"How about we discuss it? A down payment first?" Finally, Xiao Han tried to make a last effort, but Pu Pu still grinned: "Not a single copper!"
"You!" Xiao Han was furious, clapping the table and standing up, pointing at Gupu with a trembling hand.
"What's wrong with me?" Gupu tilted his head and glanced sideways at Xiao Han.
"Okay! Credit is credit!" Finally, Xiao Han, with a look of grief and anger, squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "But you have to remember! After selling the candy, you have to pay back the money as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Xiao Han turned his head and walked straight out without even signing the contract!
"Wait, where are you going?!" Behind him, Pu Pu stood up and asked in surprise.
Xiao Han said angrily without looking back: "Go and arrange a boat quickly! Get your candies out and sell them! Then pay back the money!"
"Oh, screw you!"
"I……"
I was full of enthusiasm when I came, but I was struggling when I left.
In the village behind them, an unscrupulous father and daughter looked at Xiao Han's back and high-fived excitedly to celebrate that they could pluck the feathers from the iron rooster.
"Wait a minute? Dad, why does my daughter still feel that something is wrong? Should we buy his boat after all?"
"Hey, just buy it. As he just said, it's good to let the clan members go out more and gain experience! Besides, we didn't pay for it, so we can still urge him to sell sugar for us quickly. What do you think of this deal? , it’s all earned!”
"It seems, too..."
In the room, the father and daughter were smiling again, but they didn't notice that on the path not far away, Xiao Han, who should have been dejected, also quietly showed a proud smile.
"Master Hou, didn't you get the money from the scam? Why are you still so happy?" Beside him, Xiaodong keenly noticed Xiao Han's strangeness and asked in a low voice.
"Fart! You're the one who cheated money!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Han was furious when he heard this. He raised his hand and gave Xiaodong a shudder: "I'm here to help them increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons! What is cheating? How can this be done about cultural people? Calling it a lie? Do you know how many years later, they will all have to thank me?"
"Yes, yes! It's all what the Marquis said!" Xiao Han was slapped for no reason. Xiaodong covered his head and nodded repeatedly. You have big fists, and everything you said makes sense! As for them thanking you? When they see the boat you prepared for them, they will definitely thank your eight generations of ancestors...

Guangzhou City
The pier that had just experienced a war had been renovated. The burnt-black wooden boards had been removed and replaced with new ones. The bloodstains everywhere had also been cleaned up, except for some old wooden boards. There are still a few traces of dark red left.
On the pier, several large ships with their sails lowered were docked quietly, their huge hulls swaying slowly with the waves.
Under the boat, the porters coming and going were like ants, carrying all the supplies that Xiao Han planned to the boat.
Mr. Wu, who had lived in Shibosi Yamen for several days, was also standing on one of the large ships at this time. His slender white fingers gently brushed the mottled wooden railings, and emotion flashed in his eyes.
Today is the day for him to set sail! There were several other old acquaintances who set sail with him. They looked at each other from a distance on the bow of the ship, but they were all speechless.
Everyone knows that after today, they will leave the land they have lived in for decades and sail on the vast sea until they find the legendary land, or they will sink in the boundless sea.
"escape?"
This idea appeared in Mr. Wu's mind more than once, but every time, that hateful face would appear along with this idea! The faint smile on his face seemed to be mocking his whims.
Mr. Wu thinks he can escape!
Even if Xiao Han had their people mixed with his men, Mr. Wu could still escape!
But here's the thing. Where could he escape to?
Anonymous, went to an uninhabited island and died? Or maybe stay with those savages and become a savage king?
If this is the case, how can he take revenge? How to cut the villain who occupied Xun Mansion into pieces!
Think about yourself, who is so ambitious, and will die in despair on an unknown island! This result is simply more uncomfortable than killing him with a knife!
Therefore, after Wu Gongzi thought about it again and again, he found that there was still only one way in front of him! That is to listen to that person's arrangements, go to unknown distances, and find the seeds that can forgive yourself!
With a deep sigh, and looking at the people on the other boats, Mr. Wu suddenly understood that they must have been coerced by that person for various reasons, and had to embark on this journey of a near-death life.
"Just wait, I'll be back!"
Silently reciting an old line in his mind, when his subordinates came over to report that the ship was fully prepared, the young man waved decisively.
"Set sail! Set sail! Target, Eastern Fuso Country!"
