my old life

Chapter 109 The Turn of Destiny

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when I woke up the next day. I was so hungry that I could barely get out of bed. I hadn't eaten all day and night, and I was so hungry that my chest was almost stuck to my back.

Originally, I wanted to hide here and not go out, but if I didn't go out, I would definitely starve to death. After thinking about it, I decided to bite the bullet and go out to find something to eat, even if it was dangerous...

As soon as I got out of the cabin, I saw a person standing at the door. It was the dark-skinned young boatman. I couldn't help but take two steps back and became vigilant, but now I was so hungry that I didn't have any strength.

"You're awake, Mr. Jin is waiting for you, come with me."

He left before I could say anything, I thought about it and followed, even if they wanted to scare me and torture me, they couldn't starve me to death, could they?
Passing through a cabin and going up to the first floor, I feel that the place is much cleaner. In a bright cabin, I saw Jin Ye and Qian Xinyun who was dressed coldly.

A table of food was prepared on the dining table in the middle, and it seemed that it had been carefully prepared. I swallowed quietly, and walked over to say hello respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Jin."

He waved his hand to let me sit down, and I saw milk and bread on the table, which looked more like a prepared breakfast, but it is already past ten o'clock, could it be prepared for me?

Qian Xinyun came over and sat beside me, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat, Mr. Jin has been waiting for you all morning, the milk has been warmed up several times, so eat something to pad your stomach."

When I heard this, I was a little flattered, even a little unbelievable, but Jin Ye smiled and didn't speak, and sat down at the dining table, and I couldn't calm down instantly.

Could it be that they regard me as a cash cow and want to use me to help them make money?But I knew in my heart that I absolutely couldn't do this, and I wouldn't do it anyway!

My stomach was growling with hunger, I didn't care about anything and started to gobble it up, one egg at a time, and the milk was drained as soon as I raised my head. As the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, no matter what, eat first before talking about it!
"Eat slowly, chewing slowly is good for your health... Add a piece of ham to him, and bring him a glass of milk." Master Jin looked at me with a smile, and someone next to him immediately brought me ham and milk.

But the more he behaved like this, the more I knew he wanted to use me. Before the second uncle came to rescue me, I absolutely couldn't turn against them. I could only pretend to be confused.

After taking a sip of milk, I said embarrassedly: "Master Jin, you have treated me so well. I really can't repay you. If you can use me in the future, just tell me. I'm very quick in doing things."

In fact, I'm just saying something politely, because I know people like them, if they are soft, they will come hard.

Jin Ye smiled, and Qian Xinyun next to him said meaningfully: "Your boy is very knowledgeable, and those who know current affairs are heroes, and you will have a bright future with Jin Ye!"

I nodded vigorously, then stuffed something into my mouth as hard as I could, filling my stomach as fast as I could, and my whole body regained some strength.

After dinner, Master Jin took out a cigar and handed it over, stood up slowly and said, "One cigarette after dinner, boy, come and talk to me."

He didn't give me a chance to leave, so I could only sit next to him on the sofa, feeling a little uneasy, and the taste of the cigar in my mouth had changed, making it bitter no matter how I smoked it.

"Boy, do you have the habit of living on a boat? If you feel bored, you can find a beautiful woman to accompany you. Xinyun has brought several beauties here." Master Jin said slowly, and Qian Xinyun immediately turned into a distressed expression. appearance.

"Oh, Lord Jin, my little sisters are all first-class beauties, and they are a bit reluctant."

I know she is pretending on purpose, she is clearly asking for love with Lord Jin, as the saying goes, it is hard to find a three-legged toad, but are there not enough women with two legs?
"No, no, no, I don't need it. I'm fine by myself." I hurriedly refused, thinking that women here can have decent and good people?
And if there are many people around me, they must have arranged for me to watch me, and it will be troublesome if I try to escape at that time, I won't make trouble for myself.

Jin Ye turned to look at Qian Xinyun, her face turned pale, and quickly explained to me: "I was joking just now, my little sisters can accompany you, it is their blessing, blame me for saying something wrong If so, I will punish you with three drinks."

After she finished speaking, she drank three glasses of white wine, and I thought it was awesome. This woman has a capacity for drinking and has a scheming heart, and she has a first-class ability to observe words and expressions.

Jin Ye's expression softened a lot, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, because the cup she used to drink three glasses of white wine just now was a half-jin red wine glass...

I feel that this master Jin is unfathomable. Even a powerful woman like Qian Xinyun can work by his side. How powerful is this old Jianghu? Can Second Uncle handle him?

To be honest, I have no idea, but I still don't understand one thing, why they insist that I know a thousand skills, why they are so determined to win me over...

Suddenly Jin Ye stood up, trembling slightly with his crutches, Qian Xinyun immediately stepped forward to help him, he waved his hand without anyone helping him, and said to me: "Boy, follow me out for a walk."

I immediately stepped forward to help him, and followed him out of the cabin. It felt like helping an old man to cross the road, but I knew that the old man beside me was a smart person. He was obviously fine just now, but he became like this in a blink of an eye...

Following Jin Ye to the deck of the cargo ship, everyone greeted me respectfully wherever I went, and others looked at me with more respect.

Standing on the bow deck, the air feels much fresher, and there is no sense of oppression in the cabin. Looking around, there are cargo ships everywhere on the Nanjiang River, many of which are hung with small golden flags. I looked back curiously, and this ship also hung Same golden flag.

I wondered if all the ships with golden flags belonged to him, right?

Sure enough, other passing boats waved their hands to this side from a distance, and Mr. Jin waved their hands one by one to say hello. Standing beside me, I felt arrogant, but soon I saw that something was wrong with these boats!
It seems that all the ships are exactly the same, obviously different from other cargo ships on the Nanjiang River, and there are no spray numbers on all the ships.

I feel that this may be a way to confuse the public. If someone wants to trouble Mr. Jin, it is really unclear which boat he is on. Can the second uncle only find it at the agreed pier?
I suddenly feel that these people who are messing around are a little too cautious, but it also reflects their guilty conscience from the side. If they do too many bad things, they will always be afraid of being retaliated...

"Boy, if you really stay by my side and do things, then I can protect your glory and wealth." Jin Ye suddenly said something without thinking, and looked at the cargo ship in the distance with blurred eyes.

"This... I have to ask my second uncle..."

In fact, I know that he can't trust me. It's been less than 24 hours since we met, not to mention that these veterans are so careful in doing things, how can he trust me to keep me by his side.

What's more, I didn't even think about staying with him. They are too ruthless. My second uncle once said that being with you is like being with a tiger, and sooner or later you will be unlucky!

"You don't need to ask others about your own destiny. If you can't even decide your own destiny, what's the point of living?"

Master Jin's face became obviously serious, and I was so frightened that my whole body trembled. I could hear the threat in his words. If I don't agree now, I'm afraid I will be thrown into the Nanjiang River...

"I am willing, but I am a little scared." I said something against my will, and said in my heart, do I dare to say I don't want it now?And he never gave me a chance to say no.

If you really want me to choose, then I will never agree to stay here when the second uncle arrives when the boat stops and docks!

"As long as you are willing, I will settle other things for you. You don't have to be afraid here. No one will dare to do anything to you from now on."

I secretly rolled my eyes, thinking that this old bastard is really easy to deceive, I just pretended to agree, and I will change my mind immediately when my second uncle comes, no one can stop me!

As long as the brain is not flooded, it will never choose to stay on this stupid cargo ship. I am still young, and I still miss Seventeen sisters in my heart. I still have a good youth to squander. Who would waste time on This kind of place?
Suddenly Jin Ye smiled, the smile was so treacherous, he turned his head and looked at me and said word by word: "Don't think I'm joking with you, all these years, as long as I want to keep people, no one has ever been able to keep me." Get out!"

My heart skipped a beat, and my heart said, why did I forget that this old bastard is insidious and cunning?How could he not see that I pretended to agree?
