Bai Yuan wanted to follow him, but the head of the family waved him away with a gesture.
After he turned a corner outside and reached the cabin, he immediately passed the signal to the Bai family guards who were still busy at the stern of the ship, and quietly lurked outside the porthole, waiting only for the owner of the family's order.
Bai Kui steadily walked to the low table in the cabin and sat down, lit the windproof lantern placed on the low table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
The light fragrance of tea spreads faintly in the air, gradually covering up the thin floating fragrance.
He lowered his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic manner, then turned over suddenly and attacked the dark corner of the partition screen behind him.
The dark fragrance, suppressed by the fragrance of tea, became stronger again. The person hiding in the corner did not say a word. When he attacked, a white blade appeared in his palm and whirled, and he fought with him for several rounds in the blink of an eye.
The dim light reflected the other person's face. She was a young girl in night clothes. She was very young.
Willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a beautiful nose and rhombus lips, and a jade face with frost on it are both proud and beautiful.
At the same time, there were neat footsteps approaching from far away on the pier.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the woman frowned. Her mood seemed to be disturbed for a moment by the disturbing breath. She failed to control the soft sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Bai Kui's throat.
Seeing that someone was about to be hurt, the woman panicked even more. She shouted in desperation, "Get away!"
"?" Bai Kui clamped the tip of the sword between his two fingers, turned the soft sword around, and then forced the woman back into the corner. The blade of the soft sword in her hand was pressed against her own neck.
"Who are you?" Bai Kui lowered his eyes and said with a hint of interest in his voice, "Who sent you here?"
The woman was tall, but she looked petite in front of Bai Kui. The top of her head only reached his chin. Being so close, the fragrance was even more refreshing.
Being suppressed and unable to move, the woman's eyes became even more angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Who sent me here? I don't understand what you are talking about, let go!"
Bai Kui raised his eyebrows and shook the two fingers holding the tip of the sword, "You can escape by abandoning the sword. This is Bai's private ship and it will leave the shore soon. If you go out now, you still have a chance to get off the ship."
Hearing the word "disembark", a flash of annoyance flashed in the woman's eyes. She bit her lip and turned her head away stubbornly, refusing to give up her sword. "I have requisitioned your ship. I'll pay you the ship's dues and order someone to sail the ship!"
"Are the people outside here to chase you?" Bai Kui loosened his sword and backed away, folding his arms and looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him, with an unknown smile on his lips, "I've always been a nosy person, but if you want to talk business with me, That’s fine.”
"..."
"I'll take you for a ride and disembark at the next pier. The fare is only fifty taels. During this period, you will be responsible for your own food and accommodation. Just don't disturb me. In addition, the cabin is my private place, so the girl needs to move."
"Then where should I go?"
"The deck, the bottom...as long as you are not next to me, you can do whatever you want." Bai Kui sat down on the table again and drank the tea he had just poured, "Bai Yuan, collect the shipping fee."
Bai Yuan came in through the porthole and turned his palm upwards, "Ship passengers, please pay."
Feng Lin pursed his lips and gritted his jade teeth. In the past, he was surrounded by kind-hearted, knowledgeable and sensible people, but this was the first time he met such a money-hungry person, and he was a man.
It's a shame that he looks like a dog.
The noise on the pier gradually faded away, and the ship had already set sail.
Since the other party kept her promise, she didn't say much. She took out a fifty-tael silver note from her arms and patted it into Bai Yuan's hand, "I want to eat."
Bai Kui just finished his cup of tea, "Ten taels per meal."
Feng Lin, "...I ate at the best restaurant in Du'an City, and it didn't cost ten taels to order three signature dishes and six side dishes!"
"Then the girl will get off the boat and go to a restaurant to eat, and then come back when she's full?"
"..."
Feng Lin bought a bowl of rice, a braised fish and a duck leg with ten taels of silver.
Eating on the deck outside the cabin.
When eating, bite every bite very hard, imagining that you are biting the angry man in the cabin.
Never seen anything like this.
Stingy, desperate for money, no grace at all!
Why did she get on his boat?
After finishing the meal, when Feng Lin went back and asked for a place to sleep, he slapped a ten-tael silver note on the other person's face without him having to ask.
When Bai Yuan led the people to the rear accommodation cabin, Bai Kui looked at the fluttering ten-tael silver note under the lamp, couldn't help laughing, and smiled softly.
At first, he thought it was some rival who put a beauty on his boat, trying to play a honey trap with him.
Looking at it this way, the beauty is indeed a beauty, but there should be no tricks. Otherwise, he would suspect that the opponent in the dark is out of his mind, and insert an inexperienced little girl into him. How about amusing him?
Ships must be docked at fixed docks and cannot be docked at will.
It took four days for Bai Kui's ship to dock midway, allowing the crew to go ashore for supplies.
In four days, the little girl spent hundreds of taels of silver.
She's not experienced in the world, but she's rich... She's a little girl who ran away from a wealthy family to play around.
It was noon outside. Bai Kui stretched out next to the squatter and walked out of the deck to stretch his hands and feet.
He has been staying in the cabin these days.
The private ship had limited sleeping space, so he gave up his bedroom to the little girl, so he had to sleep in the cabin.
Standing on the deck and looking around, he soon saw the little girl on the rear side of the ship who had also come out to stretch her muscles.
When he met his eyes, the little girl turned her face away expressionlessly and snorted.
Bai Kui laughed, "Girl, why are you still on the boat? Didn't you agree that you have to get off the boat at the next pier?"
"I paid the money, you don't care when I get off the boat."
"If you continue to take the boat, it won't be the price you paid at the beginning."
Feng Lin, "..."
Her pretty face turned red with anger, "How can you, a businessman, be so fussy about everything? You won't be able to do business for a long time if you do this!"
"How did you know I'm a businessman?" When he arrived in front of the little girl, Bai Kui leaned over slightly and asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his dark eyes, giving people an undeniable sense of oppression.
"I asked before boarding the ship." Feng Lin turned his head.
The world is so big, and there are all kinds of people, and she is also afraid that if she is in a critical condition, she will seek medical treatment and get caught on a pirate ship.
So when choosing a boat, I specifically inquired about owned boats, and finally chose a boat owned by a merchant.
She heard from people on the dock that the owner of the boat was doing business with wealthy businessmen in the city and had a good reputation, so she secretly boarded the Bai family's boat.
No idea... Feng Lin looked at the sparkling river, feeling extremely angry.
Might as well get on a pirate ship.
Food and accommodation on Bai Kui's boat would cost extra money, so she refused to give in because she couldn't get anything serious.
In the first fight, she was clearly at a disadvantage.
She, Feng Lin, had never suffered such grievances since she was a child.
As she thought about it, she felt aggrieved. The little girl's red lips pursed unconsciously, and her eye circles turned slightly red at the tip of her nose.
Bai Kui was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyebrows and laughed at himself, what was he, a grown man, doing teasing a little girl?
He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to the little girl. He spoke in a much gentler tone, "Get off the boat. These are the banknotes you spent on the boat. I'll give them back to you. There are men like me out there who are even worse than me." There are many men who are easy to deal with. They have a long memory and go home early after having fun outside."
Feng Lin was stunned, looking at the thick banknotes in front of him, and then his eyes fell on the hand of the man who handed out the banknotes.
The grievance still growing in my heart was inexplicable.
