Chapter 51: Tsunami(1/2)

Changfeng didn't ask too much because he knew that the more he knew, the less good it would be for him. He followed Qin Qiu onto the boat that was preparing for the four of them to go back. He didn't even snorted until he stood on the boat and said to Qin Qiu: "Please" and then said to Jia Da: "Go back to Wu Yue!" After that, he never heard Changfeng speak again.

After leaving Qin Qiu's surveillance, Changfeng was convinced that they could not catch up, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the boat and thinking about this series of experiences was a bit incredible. Such a coincidence actually made him encounter. Morally, it was understandable that he helped Lin Qimeng, but from his actual wishes, he really didn't want to care about this matter. Since he had already taken care of it, he had to continue doing it. His head couldn't help but hurt. There was so much right and wrong in the world. No wonder the master was willing to live in seclusion with him in the mountains.

Jia Da looked at him with strange eyes when he got on the boat from Changfeng. Now he seemed not as serious as before. He walked forward carefully and asked, "Is it that young man who calls you Mr. Lin or Mr. Yun in the future?"

Changfeng didn't have the heart to care about this, and waved his hand and said, "It's up to you."

"That little one is better to call you Mr. Yun, and he is kind." Jia Da said with a discomfort.

Changfeng ignored him and said, "Is there any wine on the boat?"

"Yes, the leader of Qin specially placed a few jars of wine on the boat, but I don't know if it's good?" Jia said cautiously. The most martial arts master here belongs to the master in front of him. If he gets angry, he will suffer. He still goes back for no reason. There are nearly a hundred people when he comes out, and only three people are left when he returns. I wonder how to explain to General Song? He is very up and down. If Mr. Lin says a few good words in front of Song Que, he might be able to save his three lives.

Changfeng saw that Jia Da was still stunned and said coldly: "Why are you still standing here still not moving?"

Jia Da was awakened by this shout, frightened and sweated in cold sweat, saying, "I'll take it for you now." He bent down and entered the narrow cabin.

There were four people on the boat, two sailors who survived the disaster, and they were all focused on rowing. The other two were just asking nothing about the rest, but they cooperated with each other. Jia Da is still the leader of the ship, and it would be impossible to do without him on the sea. The sailing along the way was quite smooth. The most idle person was Changfeng. He was very unfamiliar with sailing on the sea. From time to time, he asked Jia Da what was going on, why did he walk like this and not that way? The relationship between the two has brought a lot closer, and Jia Da's voice also increased a little.

This group of pirates was pretty good to them. They had enough dry food and fresh water on the boat, and of course there were a few jars of good wine. As soon as Changfeng got on the boat, he was given the wine and it was all his. As for other things, they could share whatever they wanted. He didn't care at all, but sometimes he couldn't help but get a piece of the pie.

This small boat has been sailing on the sea for three days. If you wait for a navigator like Jia Da to wait on the boat, you will never lose your direction. However, this long sailing makes Changfeng unable to stand it. There is no way. The boat is small and the speed is naturally slow. Sometimes it will be hit by the waves and deviate from the direction. It will take a long time to turn it around.

"Jia Da, how many days will we have to get to Wuyue?" Changfeng asked Jia Dadao casually with the wine jar.

"Mr. Yun, as the current navigation speed, it will take seven or eight days to reach the canal estuary." Jia Da said with his years of experience.

"So long?" Changfeng muttered. During this period, Jia Da had figured out Changfeng's temper and said, "Master Yun, our boat is small, slow, and cannot withstand the wind and waves. Of course, it will take some more time."

Every day, the sea breeze blows and sunlight is exposed. Except for the face that does not change color, Changfeng's skin on other body is turned black. Jia Da never suspected that Changfeng's muscle skin is not something that a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties should have. In his mind, the more powerful a person has martial arts, the more he can keep his body strong.

I haven't been happy for many days that the face under my mask. The beard inside was about to push the mask in front into a gap. Changfeng felt very uncomfortable. Only when Jia and the other two were sleeping well, they secretly adjusted the mask. This time, they did not cover their mouths, but liberated them and slightly trimmed their beard. On the outside, they could see that his beard and his previous beard were much darker, but at least his beard is real now, and he was not afraid of being seen through. However, in this way, Changfeng's handsome face would turn white on the top and black on the bottom, clearly distinguished and clearly. It would be difficult to see people if he took off his mask. This past incident really made Cao Ruifeng and others laugh for a long time, but Changfeng didn't expect such consequences at all. He was still complacent about his expansion of his disguise skills.

Finally seeing the coast of Wu Yue, the joy in the hearts of the four people was self-evident. As long as you sail along the coastline, you can quickly return to the canal estuary, then go straight to Lingyun Town, and return to Hailing City. Now Jia Da and the other two can only follow Changfeng. Changfeng decides to go wherever they go.

"Look, what is that?" one of the sailors screamed and pointed ahead.

The other three people looked along his fingers, and a huge wave dozens of meters high was advancing towards their small boat. The huge sound came from far to near, and the boat they were riding was shaking constantly, and the entire sea surface began to boil, like boiling water.

"No, it's a tsunami!" Jia Da was very knowledgeable and recognized that this was the most terrifying natural phenomenon on the sea. After screaming, his face suddenly became bloodless. He didn't know what to do. It was the first time that the two sailors had seen this scene. They heard the old sailors talk about the power of the tsunami and forgot to paddle. Indeed, in the face of the tsunami, the power of human beings was too small. The only thing they could do was to wait for death. You can't escape at all on the sea.

Changfeng looked ahead indifferently. He saw despair in the eyes of the three of them. Jia Da and the other three basically gave up their resistance. Changfeng knew that his fate might be rewritten again in this tsunami. He stabbed the boat with a thousand-pound pendant and swayed temporarily and shouted: "Jia Da, do you three really want to die here?"

The three of them turned their heads to look at Changfeng. They did not have the ability of Changfeng. At this time, strong winds were already blowing from the sea, and dark clouds were covered in the sky. He was unable to stand steadily, let alone speaking, and could only express their wishes of not wanting to die with their eyes.

The white belt came so quickly and violently, and soon it was close to the windy boat. With a loud bang, the huge wave cut off the boat in half. The four were thrown into the air, then landed on the wave again, and then threw it into the air again, and fell to the next wave. After dozens of times, their boat could no longer bear it and was about to disperse.

At this time, Changfeng can only protect himself by luck and use his full strength to protect the vital points of his body so that he will not be harmed. As for Jia Da and the other two, they can only leave it to fate.

The boat had already begun to fall apart, and was divided into large and small wooden boards floating around. Changfeng grabbed a wooden board in the stormy waves while he was still awake, and then hugged it tightly, rolled it into the sky by a big wave, and then knew nothing.

When Changfeng woke up, he found that he was actually hanging on a tree. He moved slightly and his body suddenly sank. Before he could react, his head had already hit the ground and he fell into a coma again.

When Changfeng woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed with a layer of bedding. This time he didn't dare to move around. His eyes kept turning and looking at the surrounding environment, it was actually a cave.

"You're awake." A man's face suddenly appeared in front of Changfeng's eyes, which was older than his own mask.

"Where is this place?" Changfeng suddenly got up and asked, frightening the old man in front of him.

After the old man calmed down, he said, "This is a cave, the old man's current home."

Changfeng reached into his arms and touched him, and was shocked. All the things in his arms were gone. He hurriedly searched around on the bed. This action made the old man who saved him even more confused and said, "Sir, what are you doing, what are you looking for?"

The old man must have hidden himself. He turned around and grabbed the old man's shoulders and said, "Did you take away the things in my arms?"

The old man understood that he was looking for something in his arms and explained: "It was taken by the old man, but he had already dried them for you, and it was on that stone." The old man pointed to a pile of things that were scattered on the stone.

Changfeng hurriedly got up from the bed, rushed over, checking his things one by one, but fortunately there was not a single item. Thank God, Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law!"

"It should be, sir, don't be too polite." The old man hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"Gugu" Changfeng didn't know when he had eaten. When he woke up, his belly sang the opposite tune with him. He suddenly felt uncomfortable and said, "My father-in-law has something to eat, but he hasn't eaten for several days."

"Yes, yes, sir, please wait. The old man will take it for you now." The old man walked out of the cave and took a few roasted sweet potatoes in a short while and said, "The old man is the only one here now, sir will just fill his stomach."

"Thank you, my father-in-law." Changfeng put the sweet potatoes into his mouth, and he vomited them out when they were burned. Changfeng smiled at the old man awkwardly. He was too anxious. How could he eat roasted sweet potatoes like this? It would be strange if it was not hot!

Changfeng ate all the sweet potatoes brought in by the old man in one breath, and burped, saying, "The best thing I can eat in my next life may be the roasted sweet potatoes today."

The old man also said happily: "The old man is not a braised sweet potato. It is not cooked in a radius of dozens of miles and is better than the old man." But his expression immediately became dim and said: "But it is useless now. Everyone here is almost dead, hey."

"What happened here? Why did my father-in-law say that everyone is almost dead?" Changfeng asked.

"It's not a tsunami. If the old man hadn't run fast when he saw the opportunity and hid in this cave, he would have died long ago." The old man sighed and shed tears.

"Do you have any relatives in the world?" Changfeng continued to ask.

"No, if there were any, the old man would have gone with him long ago. How could he live alone?" the old man said in a dim mood.

"What will your father-in-law do in the future?" Changfeng asked with concern.

"There are still a lot of fields here. When the tsunami passes, I will not starve to death." The old man said with his heart.

In fact, for such natural disasters, Changfeng was powerless at all, so he could only comfort the elderly and live a good life, etc.

"Brother-in-law, where is this place?" Changfeng remembered that he was going back to Jiangnan, so he naturally had to know where he was now.

"This is a cave. Didn't you ask me just now?" The old man didn't understand the true meaning of Changfeng's words.

"I'm asking about the place name here, who is in charge of it?" Changfeng explained.

"This place was originally called Zhangjiazhuang, and it belongs to the Buji Urban Management of Wuyue Kingdom." The old man came over and said with a clarity.

"How far is this place from Buji City?" Changfeng continued to ask.

"I used to be able to arrive in half a day, but now after the tsunami, the roads are all covered up, which may be longer." The old man thought for a while.

"Can you take me there?" Changfeng said.

"Yes, but..." the old man hesitated and said, "Okay, the old man promised you that, anyway, the old man has nothing to do now when he stays here."

Changfeng just took off his strength and rested for a night, and his physical strength had almost recovered. He also asked the old man to ask the survivors here to pay attention to whether there were anyone nearby who were rescued. If so, he would tell the rescued person about his whereabouts. Changfeng's move was because he was afraid that Jia Da and others would not be able to find him after being rescued, so he left a message to relieve them.

The next morning, the old man roasted more than a dozen sweet potatoes and stayed on his body, and set off with Changfeng to Buji City.

As expected, after the road was washed away by the huge waves caused by the tsunami, it was impossible to tell at all. He could only rely on the old man's memory to move forward. Finally, he arrived at the city of Buji City before dusk. After the tsunami, Buji City suffered huge losses. Most of the houses collapsed, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and even the soldiers who were looking at the city gate ran to save people. So even if there was no identity document, Changfeng could enter Buji City like the old man.

Notices were posted everywhere in the city to relieve the people, rescue disasters, distribute disaster relief food, and help the people in the city build new houses. Changfeng got a surprise news that Lin Yunfang's Feng Jia was in Buji City at this time, and was about to return to Qianqiu City tomorrow. It can be seen that the tsunami had happened several days ago.

Changfeng placed the old man in an inn, leaving some broken silver, and asked the old man to go home alone tomorrow. He first bought a few clothes in a ready-made clothing shop. The clothes he was already torn and should not be worn anymore. He found a tavern, had a meal with the old man, and then sent the old man back to the inn, and decided to take the risk of breaking into Lin Yunfang's tent and meeting Lin Yunfang.

After the tsunami, the weather may not get better all of a sudden. After nightfall, strong winds blew up and it started raining heavily. Changfeng planned not to see Lin Yunfang tonight and followed him all the way back, but he still told Lin Yunfang about this as soon as possible. More than ten days have passed and he cannot be delayed. He cannot guarantee the safety of Lin Qimeng and others.

Changfeng decided to go to see Lin Yunfang in the rain.

Lin Yunfang's defense measures were the most familiar to Changfeng. He quickly bypassed the guards who were secretly alert and appeared directly at the door of Lin Yunfang's resting tent.

"Who!" The guards guarding at the door saw Changfeng falling from the sky and shouted.

Suddenly, the entire camp became turbulent, and the sleeping soldiers rose up one after another, rushed towards the tent with weapons in the rain, surrounding the protection of the tent. Lin Yunfang brought the imperial guards this time, and they were all brave and good at fighting. Changfeng didn't want to be so stupid. It took more effort to attack in, so he angrily said, "Empress, old friends are here to visit, please see the empress."

Lin Yunfang was wondering about what was happening outside. Suddenly, he heard Changfeng's voice and suddenly felt that things were unusual. Changfeng suddenly appeared here, and Lin Qimeng must have had something wrong with him. So he quickly ordered outside the tent: "Everyone retreats for me. The people outside are my guests. You all go down. I want to see him alone."

The Imperial Guards and the guards of the tent retreated like a tide. Changfeng lifted the tent and dragged down the straw raincoat to Lin Yunfang, who was sitting on the top of the house and reading the document, said: "Changfeng is visiting late at night, so I have no choice but to ask the Empress to not be surprised."

"Tell me quickly, is there something wrong with Qi Meng?" Lin Yunfang asked anxiously.

"Yes, after we went out to sea, we arrived in the Loulan Sea and encountered pirates. Miss Lin was pirates..." Changfeng told all the things we encountered.

"So, this group of pirates are actually the commander of the third princess of the old king of Loulan. They intend to restore the country and hijack Qimeng in order to exchange one million taels of silver for the military expenses for the uprising of the army." Lin Yunfang understood the intention of the third princess named Lou Wuyun as soon as she heard it.

"Yes, Empress, Changfeng thought so at that time." Changfeng admired Lin Yunfang's amazing insight.

"Can sir be sure that Lou Wuyun is a real princess?" Lin Yunfang asked again.

"Although Changfeng didn't see many facts, they didn't seem to be fake," Changfeng carefully recalled the scene at that time and said.

"If it is, it's okay. If it is not, her target will not be just Loulan. Such a robber pirate is also a powerful threat to Wu Yue at sea." Lin Yunfang is now completely looking at the problem from the height of Wu Yue.

"One million taels of silver is nothing to our Lin family. Qi Meng's value is definitely far more than this number. Have you ever thought that she would have any other intentions?" Lin Yunfang continued to ask.

"Changfeng is no longer a member of the Lin Mansion. This time he is just a entourage. There should be no problem with them asking me to come back. Maybe they just knew that Qimeng was a lady from the Lin family, and they didn't know that she was Miss Lin who was in charge of all the Lin family's business." Changfeng also thought for a while and said.

"This is unlikely. There is only one lady in the Lin family. Everyone knows it. Since the pirates know the Lin family, they will not know this." Lin Yunfang analyzed.

"Then they may be afraid of the strength of the Lin family and dare not extort too much, for fear of causing trouble in the future." Changfeng himself thought for a while.

"Why did sir come back? Why did he appear here again?" Lin Yunfang said with another question.

Changfeng drove the four of them away from Fuguo Island and encountered a tsunami at the sea one by one. Finally, he talked about his life-threatening life, and happened to meet Lin Yunfang's Feng Jia here.

"So that's the case. It's not like man-made. There will be no so many clever things in the world." Lin Yunfang said to himself.

"What should I do if the Empress is calling Changfeng now? Changfeng doesn't know how to sail. All things are done by Jia Da. Moreover, he knows the journey to Fuguo Island. However, after we encountered a tsunami, his life and death are unknown now. Please ask the Empress to search from multiple sources." Changfeng asked.

"I am looking for people. I don't quite understand Lou Wuyun's true intentions yet. Can you take a trip to Jiangnan for me to return to Hailing City to report the news?" Lin Yunfang said.

"Changfeng was originally coming for this matter and would definitely return to Hailing City, but Changfeng may not go back to Wuyue again. Is it better to ask the Empress to handle the rescue of Miss Lin?" Changfeng didn't want to get too close to the Lin family, so he wanted to get out of this vortex as soon as possible.

Lin Yunfang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can't force others to do anything. The matter of rescuing Qimeng will be handled by me. After returning to Hailing City to report the letter, go wherever I want."

"Thank you for your accomplishment." Changfeng bowed to the end.

"Sir, go to Solong City and take Dongfang Furong back by the way. This little nun just returned to secular life said that he missed his father. You should stay in my camp first, and prepare fast horses and panic for you in the Ming Japanese Palace." Lin Yunfang then ordered.
To be continued...
