That little fly

Chapter 9 The History of Blood and Tears of Seeing the Sea for the First Time

"Luzi. You don't need to disguise yourself at the next stop."

"Huh?" Shui Qingqian looked at his father with question marks in his eyes while holding the dark brown can of facial oil.

"Qiangang is a big city with a lot of people, understand?"

"Father means to scare too many people at once, isn't it good?"

"No," Master Shui rubbed his temples, "Father means that because of the metropolis, people are well-informed, and we won't stand out in comparison, so we don't need to disguise ourselves."

"Oh..." Shui Qingqian put the jar back to its original place, regretfully, and left.

The owner of the water village watched his lost son leave, and turned around to complain to his wife, "Who should he follow with his temperament that fears the world will not be chaotic?" The owner of the water village thought that he was very stable when he was young. A child without a mother is already in charge of the house.

Mrs. Shui was holding an antique porcelain vase and couldn't put it down, she replied without raising her head, "I'm a lady from a famous family."

The owner of Shui Zhuang had a cold war, and he laughed at these words.If he hadn't lost his memory, his father-in-law seemed to be the head of the 32 waterways. At his most glorious time, he was offered a reward of 40 yuan by the imperial court to buy the head of the bandit.His mother-in-law is a fly.These two people don’t know where they went on their expedition now. The news sent back a year ago said that they were in a certain prairie——Shui Qingqian told the two Jinwu guards that his grandparents had gone far, far away. literal meaning.

The owner of Shui Zhuang suddenly began to recall the past sentimentally, which was forced by his Luzi's various tossing moths recently.After Shui Qingqian's entangled petty eyes were blinded by her father's shining title of Marquis, when she looked back at the dark disguise material, her state of mind took a sudden turn and turned into darkness.It must be admitted that Mrs. Shui's idea of ​​disguise is quite wretched, and now the exclusive secret recipe falls into the hands of Shui Qingqian...do humans still have a chance to stop him?

Therefore, on the next road, at every stop, Shui Qingqian will pick out his rich and decent clothes, and in line with their family background, the new batch of clothes Shui Qingqian made is first-class Good thing - this time I go ashore to wear a gown with brocade and red calyx and plum blossoms, next time I will wear a white butterfly wearing six circles of flowers, this time I will wear a silver belt with pearls, and next time I will wear a butterfly forehead. Wearing a red feather gauze in the rain, and a cloak of orangutan felt in the wind... Anyway, how to make a show, and then paint yourself into a small black charcoal, with a strong smell of a wretched nouveau riche rushing towards your face. It hurts to see it.This is still my own father, how can you let others live?

After changing his appearance, the owner of Shui Zhuang changed into thick clothes, so when he took to the street with his son, it was a typical version of "the young master of the nursing home and the nouveau riche family".

Before changing their appearance, they come to buy things, pick the best ones, and the store will happily offer them, and maybe even discounts, that's called 'flowers for beauties, complement each other'.

After changing their appearance, they choose the best ones to buy. The shopkeeper smiles on his face, but turns his back with a bitter face.

The clean water and the strong aura of the nouveau riche make people want to put their eyes in their eyes when they see it, but the nouveau riche lacks nothing and does not lack money. This kind of wanting to die, all kinds of envy behind the scenes, only a bitter face of jealousy and hatred, very well entertained Shui Qingqian.

It was so cruel that even my own father couldn't see it.

"Dive Harbor City, also known as the City of Miracles, because of the development of ocean trade, in just 20 years, er, to be precise, it has grown from a small market town to the largest trading port city on the Eastern Continent. "In order to divert his son's heart of pranks and pranks, the owner of Shui Village took advantage of half a day to chat with Shui Qingqian on the side of the boat, and spread knowledge.Qiangang is a very special city in the Eastern Continent Empire. It seems that what you saw at the first glance was an ordinary small town made of fishing, but at the next glance it has grown into a large trading port that is making money every day.This is also the largest base camp of the Imperial Navy. Calculated, the development of the navy is also a matter of recent years. I don’t know whether it is trade that has achieved coastal defense, or the development of the navy has promoted the blowout of overseas trade. This seaport city has only been used for less than 20 years. A few years has completed the development process of a city for hundreds of years.There are only two super metropolises in the Eastern Continent Empire with a population of more than one million, and the other is the imperial capital, but how many years has the imperial capital been developed, and the foundation is 20 years.

"How much is a million?" Shui Qingqian didn't have such a big concept.

"Well, it's about... we drove this way, and the population of the towns along the way was added together."

"All together?" Xiaoniao's eyes widened. "Live in the same city?"

"All in one city."

"Wow." What a big city that must be!Shui Qingqian couldn't wait, "When will we arrive?"

"Should be able to enter the city before sunset today, but..." The water owner looked around, they were already driving on the main river channel into the city, the obviously widened river channel and more boats following it formed a busy scene.Originally, their big boat was no longer so conspicuous in this water area, and there was even a bigger and more conspicuous blessing boat on the water.Cargo ships, large and small, are traveling on the water, and the waterway is so dense that there are more than ten miles away from the port. No matter how big the port is, it may be congested for a while.

The master of Shui Zhuang guessed it right. Not long after the father and son talked about this topic, the steward of the boatman came to report, "The news just came." Through the semaphore communication with the boat in front, "a cargo ship was overloaded and ran aground. Now, someone from the Waterway Yamen has come to command, and all the ships have to go in order, I'm afraid there will be a delay."

"It doesn't matter." Shui Zhuang waved his hand indifferently, the worst thing is to stay on the boat for one more night, they are not in a hurry.

"Then can I still see the sea today?" Shui Qingqian was a little anxious.

"The sea can't run away..." Before the master of the water could finish speaking, he saw his son wrinkled his nose again, and he had no choice but to pick up the little bird and sit on his arm, "What's so good about the sea in the port? The dense sails and piles of goods are all blocking, and at most you can see the small strip of the sea. When you are free tomorrow, Dad will take you to the real seaside, with sunshine, sandy beaches, and blue sea water."

"Boundless..." Shui Qingqian's eyes were full of longing.

The water was clear and shallow, so I couldn't see the sea before sunset.

By the time they reached the port and found their assigned berth, it was already dark.The water is clear and shallow, the spirit is short, and he has long slept soundly wrapped in a quilt.From getting off the boat, to taking the car, to entering the city and entering the hotel, the owner of Shui Zhuang hugged his sleeping son all the way, carefully not bumping him, so when Shui Qingqian opened his eyes the next day, what he saw was deep purple sandalwood carvings The curtains spun with shell purple yarn, the room smelled of flowers and plants that he was not familiar with, and there was also a faint fragrance of moist soil.

This is a hotel, they went into town last night - Shui Qingqian realized.

He hasn't seen the sea yet - Heron is a little lost.

Fetch water, wash your face, dress... Even though they are a wealthy family, in terms of personal matters, the owner and his wife have never spoiled their son.If he had eight people to serve him personally just because he was rich, and made his son a waste who couldn't even wear his own shoes, the owner of the water village would have the urge to smoke people.

The water is warm water flowing out of the copper pipe. As long as you unscrew the faucet wrench and put the cold water for a while, warm water will come out from behind.

The basin, a heavy carved copper basin, is fixed in the washroom together with the marble table.There is a cork in the basin, which can receive water when it is blocked, and the dirty water can be drained when it is pulled out.This kind of water and water design is no longer a rarity, but the cost is quite expensive, and only wealthy families or businesses that open restaurants or hotels can have it.

An absorbent cotton towel is hung on the left side of the basin, and on the right side of the basin, apart from a piece of pink fragrant soap, there are also various bottles and jars, all of which were bought on the road by Mrs. Shui to wipe the face and hands. , Wipe hair.This is the bathroom. Outside the bathroom is a five-step-long narrow corridor. On both sides are large wardrobes and a floor-to-ceiling mirror. There are also two cross clothes racks made of poplar wood. A white soft silk long orchid gown with wide sleeves, a plain color with elegant magnolia flowers on the cuffs, sea blue branches and vines embroidered with silver thread, it is elegant and elegant, contrary to the previous outbreak The red envelopes of the Tricky series.At first glance, it was his parents' idea, and he was determined not to let his Luzi run out and make people fool him.After tidying herself up properly, Shui Qingqian turned around and went out to find her father, and agreed to go to the sea together today.

The submerged port is developing so fast that the dozens of streets around the port are crowded and messy, with shops and restaurants everywhere. Almost all the big businesses in the country have branches here.With the increasing importance of tariffs to the imperial court, there are also many large and small yamen here.In crowded places, chaos is unavoidable. If you want to find a quiet place with blue sky, white clouds, fine sand and waves as described by the owner of the water village, it is not a short distance from the port area on their side.

In fact, the place where the owner of the water village pointed out to look at the sea had to traverse the entire submerged harbor city. The other end is the coastal beach that is very different from the natural cargo Shenzhen and Hong Kong here.This section of the road will take a while to say the least.

No carriage, no picnic, no preparations for going into the water, including towels, blankets, fresh water, wind and sand tents... Mrs. Shui, who was quarreled by her son early in the morning, rubbed her forehead helplessly, "Luzi..."

"I'm going, I'm going! I'm going to see the sea!" The little bird stamped his feet, and if he couldn't do it, he would roll on the ground.

"Okay, okay, go, go, go today." His father got up from the bed and promised his wife, "I'll take him to the beach today to have a look."

After a hasty breakfast, and at the same time let the hotel prepare two good horses, water bags and some snacks, the father and son set off on the road in a simple manner.Pass through the bustling east and west cities, pass through the lakeside is full of weeping willows, and the red lacquer and jade steps are full of riches and riches. In the city, he rode his horse and ran for more than half an hour before he saw a piece of high terrain covering his sight from afar.If the owner of the water village remembers correctly, the other side of the mountain should be the sea.The owner of Shui Zhuang grabbed a pocket compass and turned it around, with no doubt, "Let's go, Luzi, go up the mountain, and victory is in sight."

I don't know whether the victory is in front of me or not, but I don't know when the water is clear, but I don't know when I reached the top of the mountain while riding a horse on the tree-lined path. The sand and the vast expanse of blue made the little bird jump off his horse, "Yo oh—"

The owner of Shui Zhuang had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed his son, and fished back his horse.

"Daddy, daddy, it's the sea, the sea!" Seeing the clear and shallow water of the sea for the first time, he was as happy as a skylark in the arms of the water owner.They are still on the top of the mountain, condescending, a thin white sandy beach, reflecting the sea water into a light blue, and even a little bright green in shallower places, the waves roll with thin waves, softly Caress on the beach.Very quiet and beautiful.The summer sun shines on the water, and the waves reflect a piece of broken silver, brilliance and dazzling.

The owner of Shui Zhuang led his son to ride his horse and slowly circled down the slope. Standing by the sea, what was shocked was no longer the light blue and bright green, but the abyss and heaven and earth in the extreme distance. It is vast, and there is only a blurred line of sight where the sea and the sky meet.

"Son, take off your shoes, take off your clothes, and go roll on the beach." The owner of Shuizhuang waved his hand.He decided that boys should be raised rough. As for the new, clean, elegant, and flowing clothes... Well, anyway, his wife has arrived at the largest port in the Eastern Continent, so it is impossible not to go shopping.

Shui Qingqian roared and tore off her clothes, kicked off her shoes, and rushed straight to the beach...

In the next second, the soaked Luzi swam up from the sea, sticking out his tongue, his face wrinkled like a steamed bun, "Wow... Daddy, it's salty!"

His unscrupulous father knew that he was waiting for him at the beach with a water bag.

"Look, Daddy, there's little grains of salt on you."

"Father, is that coconut fruit?"

"Father, let's build a house together..."

"What is this?" Shui Qingqian picked up a piece of kelp from nowhere.

"I step on, I step on, I step on..." There are many small crabs on the beach.

"Small! Be careful!"

"Ow~~!"

The owner of the water village was still a step behind.

"Wow, wow! Dad, wow wow wow wow wow wow wow..." I was pinched by a big crab.

Thanks to Shui Zhuangzhu's quick response, such a big claw really needs to use force, and it can pinch the toe bone.

Shui Qingqian lay on the owner of Shui Village with all kinds of grievances, tears streaming down her face.Looking at the bloody slits on his son's white and tender feet, the owner of the water village held the little heron in his arms for a long time, stroking and kissing him, all kinds of comfort and encouragement, let the poor raise go to hell!

The water was clear and shallow for a while, looking at his bloody feet with joy and sorrow, enduring the stinging pain that didn't go away for a long time, "Dad...Dad...It still hurts."

"Well, we have to go back quickly." The wound was washed with clean water, and the medicine had to go back.

"Do you use disinfectant?" Shui Qingqian grabbed the collar of Shui Zhuangzhu, her knuckles turned white. I heard that the thing hurts very much when it is sprayed on the wound. Both Jinwu guards said it hurts, so it must be very painful. pain.

"Our family has better medicine." The owner of the water village got up with his baby in his arms, and walked to the horse.

Shui Qingqian looked back and saw the crumpled soft silk outerwear that was balled into a ball on the ground, the color of the moon white had already turned grayish black, and then she was afraid when she thought about it, "Mom... Mom will be angry?"

The master of the water village looked at his son's clothes, then at his bleeding feet, and his crying cat face. The two of them shrunk their necks together, and waited to be hung up by the wife when they went back.

It was a blessing in misfortune that the bones were not injured. This at least allowed the father and father to escape. The little cat was taken into the bathroom by the mother to take a bath, and then changed into a silver-red peony brocade robe with twigs and suet jade. The gold collar, although the foot was wrapped like a steamed bun, it was hurt in an inconspicuous place, after being packed up by the mother, it was a little red envelope that everyone loved.

The place for dinner was chosen by Madam Shui early in the morning at Fengqing Restaurant, a famous seafood restaurant near the lake in the affluent area of ​​the city. However, after the father and son returned from their embarrassing trip, the seafood dinner in the evening was forced to change. The only seafood on the table is green onion and ginger? Baked?
