Chapter 1146 No One Questions Liu Wei’s Words
Liu Wei gathered the blanket around her body and said, "I'll stand there for a while, and you can go in."
Xixiang sighed and said, "I will accompany you, young lady."
The master and servant stood on the deck for a long time, watching the sun set in the west.
Xixiang was worried that it would get dark if she continued to stand, so she wanted to give some advice, but she suddenly felt a hurricane coming, and then the sky began to change color.
At the same moment, the girl ran out of the cabin: "Miss, the captain said it's going to rain and wants us not to leave the cabin. Let's go back."
Liu Wei looked at the surging sea again, smelled the salty sea water, said "hmm", turned around and was about to enter the cabin.
But after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned back, and looked at the sea again.
"What's wrong?" Xixiang asked.
Liu Wei didn't answer, just walked to the side of the boat, his eyes searching the sea, as if he was looking for something.
The girl didn't know why: "Did you hear something, Miss?"
Liu Wei didn't hear any sound, but she smelled the smell.
The fishy smell of sea water was mixed with a few traces of human blood.
"Yeah." Xixiang suddenly called out.
Liu Wei looked at Xixiang, who pointed to the sea not far away and stammered: "Is that a human hand?"
Liu Wei looked along where Xixiang said and saw a human hand dangling on the sea.
And the broken joint of the wrist seemed to have been bitten off by a vicious fish in the sea.
Liu Wei frowned tightly, holding the edge of the ship shore with her fingers, and swallowed: "Stop the ship and salvage that hand."
After Xixiang was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly ran to the cabin. The little girl hugged Liu Wei, her little head buried in her belly, and comforted her dullly: "Ken, it must not be the prince, the prince." It won’t be eaten so easily.”
Liu Wei also hoped not, but she was still so nervous that she could hardly stand in a panic. If the little girl hadn't held her steady, she would have staggered.
The news of the discovery of manpower at sea spread throughout the ship in a matter of seconds, and everyone ran to the deck.
The secret guards with quick hands and feet were already fishing in groups of twos and threes with fishing nets, fishing for the severed hand.
After the hand was picked up, everyone saw that the man's hand had swollen to the point of turning white. Looking at it like this, it was impossible to tell who the owner of this hand was.
But Liu Wei took the hand and looked through it for a while, then exhaled and said thankfully: "It's not Rong Leng."
No one questions Liu Wei's words.
For a moment, the tense atmosphere finally relaxed, and then everyone thought that a severed hand suddenly appeared on the sea, which meant that a living person had been killed here, and although the hand was swollen, white, and swollen, at least it was alive. Bones and flesh, he must have been killed in the past two days.
Even if he is not the prince, he may be someone traveling with the prince. Didn’t the prince bring a team of secret guards? Could it be those colleagues?
The atmosphere that had just been relaxed became tense again.
The workers in the ship were also helping. One of the secret guards couldn't stand the guessing and asked the workers directly: "Do you know where this place is?"
The worker answered based on his own experience: "This is the middle sea to the south of Shangyan Prefecture. Because Shangyan Prefecture changed the sea port, no ships have sailed on this middle sea for many years."
"Is there a small harbor near Zhonghai where we can rest temporarily?"
Xiaogong said: "In the early years, there were two or three islands, but the tide surged. It was because of the high tide here in Zhonghai that Shangyan Mansion changed the port. After so many years, those islands should have been flooded. "
What can I do now?
There is not even a small port for rest nearby. If the prince was really killed here, he would have been floating on the sea for twenty days...
Just when everyone was looking at each other with a bad premonition, Liu Wei suddenly said: "Does your captain know where those islands used to be?"
The young worker was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly: "Master must know it. Master is an old helmsman. He has been sailing on the Liangjiang River for forty years."
Liu Wei nodded: "That's fine, let's go and have a look."
The worker added: "It should all be flooded..."
"Go and see even if it's flooded!"
The boy didn't dare to argue with the guest, so he had to go back to the cabin in silence.
After a while, the captain came out in person and said, "It's not impossible for the nobles to go to the Old Port. It's just that after so many years, I don't know what the sea conditions are like there. The ship's speed will inevitably be much slower. After all, this ship I dare not make fun of human life."
Liu Wei nodded to him, pinched his fingers and said, "Excuse me, Captain."
In this way, the route was set.
At this time, it was already dark, Mingxiang Xixiang helped the young lady into the cabin, and the older girl and the younger girl brought out the prepared meals.
After eating something hastily, Liu Wei returned to the room.
In the room, Liu Wei didn't sleep either. She just sat in front of the window, staring at the dark sea outside.
…
At the same time, in another ten-person boat, Ya Shi placed Fang Que properly, watched her sleep, and then left the cabin.
In the hall outside, a young man with a handsome appearance and an elegant posture was serving tea, being served by a waiter.
Seeing Ya Shi coming out, the young man asked, "Are you okay?"
Ya Shi nodded, pursed his lips, and handed over to the young man: "Thank you, Master, for saving me. I will repay you one day for saving my life."
The young man glanced at him, with a cold expression on his jade face: "Your name is Ya Shi?"
Yashi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head subconsciously and looked at the plaque on his waist. It was his name on the plaque.
Holding the sign, he pulled it out and stuffed it into his arms, Yashi said: "Exactly."
The young man didn't say much and asked again: "Why are you two wandering on the sea?"
Yashi smiled bitterly and said half truthfully: "I was sailing across the river with my family, but I didn't want to encounter a big wave on the way. The boat capsized and everyone was destroyed. My sister and I were lucky enough to be washed to a nearby island, but the other family members still don't know what happened. trace."
The young man was silent, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
At this moment, the boatman brought the meal. The young man handed a pair of chopsticks to the pottery bowl opposite and glanced at Ya Shi: "Eat some?"
Yashi hadn't eaten for several days, so he was very hungry, but he didn't go over immediately, which seemed rude.
"Afraid that I'll poison you?" The young man smiled.
Yashi was stunned for a moment, he didn't think so, but when the other party suddenly said this, he actually started to think so.
Ya Shi recalled that he and Fang Que had been drifting on the sea for an unknown amount of time. Just when they were desperate and almost gave up, they suddenly saw such a small boat.
In the vast sea, this small boat seemed so small. Ya Shi took his last breath to ask for help, but the people in the boat did not rescue him immediately. But the young man in front of him, Ya Shi remembered, stood on the bow of the boat and spoke with a cool voice. After staring at him for a long time, he called the boatman and fished them out.
At first, Ya Shi only thought that the other party was unwilling to save them immediately because he was worried about their different identities. After all, this was a deserted sea, and their sudden appearance really had to make people wary.
But now I think about it, since it is the deserted sea, why did this young man appear here out of thin air, and where is he going?
