Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 501

The waves were beating against the shore layer by layer, and the sound of flying birds could be heard occasionally in the air. The weather was just right, and everything around was extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was sitting on the shore with bare feet, holding a wooden board in one hand, and drawing the seascape in front of her on paper with a charcoal pencil in the other, with a very focused expression.

Not long after, a young man in a bamboo hat walked along the coast holding an oil-paper umbrella and a small bamboo basket.He looked around, and finally walked quickly towards the seat where the girl was sitting.

"Xiaoyun, be careful of getting sunburned when you paint like this." While speaking, he quickly opened an umbrella to cover the girl's head, then took out sour plum soup, wet towels and other things from the bamboo basket, and handed them over very courteously, " Quickly wipe off your sweat."

The girl who drew the picture ignored her, and the charcoal pencil in her hand didn't stop.

The scholar seemed to be accustomed to such neglect, so he packed all his things back, took out a cattail fan, fanned the little girl carefully, and said in a babbling voice, "Uncle Mo and Aunt Yan are going on a long trip this time. And the shop is handed over to you, Xiaoyun, you have worked really hard recently, what do you want to eat later? I heard that you also took calligraphy lessons at the academy, I thought you would teach painting , Hey, you are drawing a boat..."

On the endless sea, big ships are approaching from far away, it is a fleet returning from a long voyage!The big ship headed by it was extremely majestic, and the girl who drew the picture stood up immediately, with a happy expression on her face, she threw down the drawing board and ran towards the pier.

The scholar hurriedly packed her things: "Xiaoyun, you haven't worn your shoes!!! Wait for me!" Holding the wooden board, bamboo basket and umbrella, the other hand hurriedly gave Mo Xiaoyun's shoes to her. When he found it, he hurried after him.

The pier in Le Nan Province is always bustling.Quite a few men running the pier and the shopkeepers of major commercial firms gathered here early in time.

"Hey, I don't know what good things Boss Mo brought back this time. I opened my eyes last time. I have never seen such a big pearl in my life!"

"What Boss Mo, this title sounds like a street performer. Old Wu, that's Mr. Mo, his little finger is thicker than our waist, don't shout!"

Shopkeeper Wu was delighted when he heard it: "My old brother, you just came here. We Li Nan don't know about our Boss Mo's temper. He loves to hear people call him the boss of the boat. He is different from those pampered young masters. He is a true Jiang Hu man! He is our hero in Li Nan! Two years ago, he led the boatmen to drive away those devastated pirates."

"I know about this." The shopkeeper who came from out of town said quickly, "Even the imperial court has rewarded Eldest Young Master Mo. Hearing that Eldest Young Master was injured, he specially sent an imperial doctor to accompany the edict angels."

"Isn't it?" Shopkeeper Wu said, "Let's come early today to see what Boss Mo brought back this time, come earlier, negotiate the price earlier, and let's resell it, the profit, hehe, Enough for you and my brothers to eat for half a year. See, these are all here to grab goods. Now the imperial court only opens the sea ban for three months a year, and our Linan is so lively. If it keeps opening in the future, tsk tsk, it’s all It’s a lot of money.” Then, he said with a serious face, “That’s why we need to earn more money!”

"Why is this?"
