Chapter 209 On A Ship

Chapter 209 steamer ride

When they arrived near the station, because they had bought the train ticket early, the time was a little tight, so everyone casually ate something at the roadside fast food restaurant, bought a sun hat for Chu Xiaoman, and then bought some dry food in the car, dragging big bags and small bags onto the car.

The train and car finally reached the main passage to Hainan, the port of Haian.

When they arrived at Haian harbor, Li Haitang was dumbfounded. This was even more exaggerated than what was reported in the tv newspaper. She asked with her mouth slightly open, "There are so many hotels and restaurants here. There are so many people. How did we get a ticket to cross the sea?"

Chu Xiaoman's reaction was bigger than hers, and her body trembled a little. She even exaggeratedly said, "Brother Four, you didn't bring me here to travel. You obviously did it on purpose." At first glance, there was a huge, dark area. What kind of scenery was it to look at? It was almost the same to look at people's heads.

Xu Yueyang smiled unkindly and reminded her, "Xiao man, don't take Brother Four's words so seriously. Just listen."

Jiang Chuheng glanced sideways at him. He brought chu xiaoman out to learn more. He said seriously, "Xiaoman, the good scenery is still far away. You can see it when you cross the sea, really."

Li Haitang also helped him, "Elder sister Man, the scenery in Qiongzhou island is really amazing. It's just that the road is too far. You can see it when you cross the sea."

"How do you know?" Chu Xiaoman asked. Wasn't it her first time?

The others all looked at her, and this group of people had only been to Ji Dongming. Why did she say that as if she had been there? Everyone was waiting for her to explain.

Li Haitang lied with a straight face and a straight heart, "There are introductions in the tv news and newspapers. There are also many people who like to take pictures and send them to the newspaper. I have seen a lot of news. Many coconut trees, blue sea and blue sky. They are beautiful."

Everyone smiled helplessly. They all forgot that she was an encyclopedia. Ji Dongming answered, "Haitang is right. The scenery there is really beautiful. It's a good place for vacation travel, but I'm afraid it can't be done in a short period of three or five years."

"All right, Dongming, let's find a place to stay for the night, buy a ticket to cross the sea and set off." Jiang Chuheng didn't want to stay in the middle of the road, so he had to change the subject.

"I can settle down immediately. The only thing is that I have to find a way to get tickets for the boat. After all, it's hard to get a ticket here. Even if I find someone, I can't get so many tickets in advance." Ji dongming told the truth.

Jiang Chuheng decided, "Go to the place where you live first, put down your luggage and eat something. We'll talk about the rest later."

Ji Dongming took them to a small, but clean, farmhouse hotel. The owner of the hotel was an old couple. Apparently, he was quite familiar with Ji Dongming. After a few words, he arranged a room for them.

After putting down their luggage, everyone went out for dinner and asked for information. While waiting for the food, the three boys had already separated and Li Jianguo was resting with the two girls in the restaurant.

The restaurant was crowded and waited for half an hour to serve, but before the person who went to inquire had returned, Li Haitang stood up and said, "Dad, elder sister Man, you sit here. I'll go find them."

"I'll go with you." Li Jianguo was not at ease with her walking around this unfamiliar place alone.

"Dad, it's okay. You can stay here with sister xiao man. I'll look for the ticket place in front of me. If I can't find it, I'll come back." Li Haitang did not trust Chu Xiaoman to be here alone. She was beautiful and fashionable. Even sitting here attracted a lot of people's attention. Although there would not be any malicious people deliberately approaching her in broad daylight, it would not be necessary if she was sitting here alone.

She was completely thinking of Chu Xiaoman, but she didn't think of herself at all. She completely forgot that she was outstanding except for her darker skin. She had a lot of eyes on her.

Li Jianguo thought that she had always been a steady woman and nodded, "Okay, then don't go too far. Just look ahead. If you can't find her, come back immediately. We'll just wait here."

"Yes."

Li Haitang quickly went to the ticket office and scanned the large queue. He did not see the three of them. Then he looked at the nearby shops and did not see their shadows. He thought to himself, where did this go?

No one was found, so she had to go back first. Shaking her head with the two people waiting, she saw that chu xiaoman was a little worried and comforted, "Elder sister Man, don't worry. You know very well what the three of them are capable of. Nothing will happen to them. I think they found a way to buy tickets, and they may have to delay some time."

Indeed, as she guessed, the three of them found a gray way to buy tickets, but the price was a little higher. For them, money was not a problem, but because they needed six tickets at a time, they had to wait for the other party to find someone they knew.

After getting the tickets, the three of them hurried back. When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, they saw that Li Haitang and the other three were all looking forward to it.

"Brother Four, you're finally back." Chu Xiaoman was actually very anxious and worried that something might happen to them.

Jiang Chuheng sat down in the empty seat next to him and smiled, "Don't worry, it's a society ruled by law now. Although the security of this place is a little chaotic, there won't be any blatant attacks or anything like that. Besides, with our skills, even if we run into a few petty thieves, it's not a big deal."

Chu Xiaoman thought about it as well, so he had to stop thinking about it and ask in a low voice, "Brother Four, is there a ticket?"

Seeing that both the father and daughter of the li family were looking at him, jiang chu smiled warmly and said, "Yes, we have already bought the tickets. Sleep well tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

Li Haitang grinned and said, "Tsk tsk, you three are really capable. You found the scalper so quickly."

They knew that she was smart and understood without saying anything. Ji Dongming chuckled and picked up his chopsticks, "The tickets are settled. Hurry up and eat. I'm starving."

"Well, eat quickly. The food is getting cold."

After dinner, everyone went back to the hotel to wash up and rest. In the evening, they would have a meal at a small restaurant outside, and each of them had some food and drink to fill their stomachs on the ship.

The next day, after daybreak, everyone randomly bought some breakfast on the side of the road to eat. When it was time to sail, everyone followed a large group of people onto the boat and headed south.

The smell of the ship was foul and smelly, the smell of sweat, feet, smoke, and the salty smell of the sea. They mixed together and smelled very uncomfortable. Li Haitang took the essential oil that Liu Fen had prepared for her and dabbed it on from time to time. Chu Xiaoman also learned from her and dabbed on something that refreshed her.

After driving for half an hour, Li Haitang and Chu Xiaoman went to the bathroom.

The toilet had to wait in line. After Chu Xiaoman went in, Li Haitang stepped out to get some air. Smelling the salty sea breeze and looking at the endless blue sea, she sighed in her heart. This trip to Qiongzhou island really made her experience the passion of this era.

She stood upright beside the railing, her short, goose-yellow sleeves conspicuous on the black and gray ship, and many people who came to the toilet could not help but look at her.

One of them was an acquaintance.

Zheng Wentao did not expect to see her here again. He did not expect her to go to Qiongzhou island at all. His brows were tightly knitted and he looked around. He saw that she was alone and his heart was indescribably complicated.

Ever since he met her, he had been keeping an eye on her whereabouts and naturally knew that she had been training at the Shijiazhuang military academy this year. Although she was still thin, she was much better than before. Her height and appearance were above her mother and sister, and the charm between her brows became more and more like herself.

"Haitang, it's all right. We can go now." Chu Xiaoman washed his hands and squeezed out of the crowd.

Li Haitang came out of his thoughts and turned to meet her. They walked side by side in the direction of the cabin where they lived.

Zheng Wentao did not know what was wrong with her, so she raised her foot and strode up, keeping a short distance from them, and saw the two girls talking and laughing as they entered a cabin. He glanced at the number plate of the cabin, which was next door to him. He didn't notice it before. After thinking about it, he looked back and went back to the toilet to line up again.

For the rest of the time, Zheng Wentao had been keeping an eye on the situation next door, and naturally found out that there were six of them in the group. Except for a middle-aged man, everyone else had met in the capital. It was the group of young people with prominent family backgrounds.

When he came back, he sat in his seat, thinking about it all the time. It seemed that things in Qiongzhou island were about to change a little.

After nearly two hours of sailing, they arrived at the boundary of Qiongzhou island. Many people, not caring about the dust, went to catch the bus with their luggage.

When they came to Qiongzhou island, everyone's eyes fell on ji Dongming. He was familiar here, and it was all up to him.

"Let's go. We're on the road outside. There's a car coming to pick us up." Ji Dongming took the initiative to help the girls pick up a bag and lead the way.

Zheng Wentao also came with a few friends this time. They walked ten meters behind him. His eyes had been on Li Haitang and the others. He saw them get into the car with his own eyes, and then he looked back.

It wasn't his first time in Qiongzhou island. He had been here for investment and development with his friends since april. He had been here for more than a month and had gone back a while ago. A few of them had invested and bought some real estate here. This time, they came to invest more. Now it seems that Li Haitang's friends are also involved. Naturally, they have more information than he does with their family background. It seems that gold can be found here in Qiongzhou island, and he can be more daring in his next investment.

As for what he was thinking, Li Haitang had no idea that he was in Qiongzhou island at all. In her heart, she only remembered to take care of Li Jianguo, her foster father.

When she saw Li Jianguo arrive, her eyes were brighter than hers. She wished she could get out of the car and experience it now. She chuckled, "Dad, when we get to our place and pack our bags, we'll come out and play."

Li Jianguo twitched his lips, "Yeah. The situation here is similar to that of the stock exchange."

He was talking about people, so naturally, everyone understood and smiled. If you dare to think about it here, it is really possible to become rich in a short time.
