Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 59 The Life of a Sworn Brother in an Ancient Farming Family 26

After three months of training, the spoiled rich kids who came with Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had long since turned a dark tan, and even the civil officials had become several shades darker. Only Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu stood out among the group of "little black people" with their fair skin. Ji Han, in particular, was a side effect of some kind of drug, no one knew.

Three months later, on a breezy morning, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu once again boarded that familiar large ship, leading a group of imposing warships and spirited naval personnel on their journey.

In addition to weapons, Ji Han and his men also brought a large quantity of tea, porcelain, and cloth on this voyage. These were the best-selling goods from their last voyage. If they could exchange these goods for a large amount of gold and silver treasures at a high price, Ji Han and his men would be willing to do so. After all, war not only brings disaster to the enemy, but also inevitably results in casualties on their own side.

Of course, just in case, Ji Han also brought along the secret weapon he and Shi Shaoyu had just developed—a wooden gun. Although the result was rather crude, it was still much better than those arrows for long-range attacks at sea.

Thanks to their previous experience at sea and the map, Ji Han and his group quickly arrived at their first stop. The situation was much better than they had imagined. The people here were still in the early stages of social development. Gold and silver were no different from other stones to them, and they had to work hard to mine them. Therefore, they were quite willing to exchange these things for cloth.

The officials and soldiers who followed were also surprised that their first battle, which they had anticipated, had ended before it even began. They could only dejectedly carry their equipment and start landing to search for and mine minerals.

The island wasn't very big, and the way people lived there was quite primitive. Ji Han simply left two boats and two teams of men there, and continued onward with the rest of the people.

The journey that followed was not as smooth as the first place. Ji Han and his group encountered those who agreed to cooperate, as well as those who refused to cooperate. Even worse, they encountered those who did not want to cooperate and wanted to rob them directly. Ji Han was very pleased with these robbers, and had the warships behind them double-cross them.

The voyage was progressing very slowly, as the warships behind had to return to deliver goods from time to time, and also bring back some "high-priced" cargo along with them.

Ji Han no longer remembered how many storms they had encountered, nor how much money and goods they had transported back and forth. He only knew that when he finally received the notice to return, three years had already passed.

Now twenty-three years old, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had finally shed their childishness and were clearly two promising young men.

Over the years, everyone has assumed that Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are a couple, even though nothing actually happens between them. In fact, whenever they hear others teasing them, they all roll their eyes inwardly and have to complain about each other.

Therefore, on their last return to the city, due to the enormous quantity of goods, Shi Shaoyu's bedroom was requisitioned. Of course, it wasn't just his room that was requisitioned, but in the end, he was the only one assigned to Ji Han's room.

The reason is that although they are both boys, they are a couple. What if Ji Han or Shi Shaoyu are assigned to a room with someone else and their genders don't match? So even if everyone else is crowded, they would rather wrap themselves in a blanket and stand guard by the cabin door than squeeze in with Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu.

Perhaps because Ji Han and his group's actions had spread throughout the coastal areas, their return journey was quite smooth. After three years, when Ji Han set foot on this land again, he suddenly felt weak in the knees. Just as Ji Han was about to fall, Shi Shaoyu, who was following behind, pulled him back.

"Ohhhhhh!"

"Ho ho ho ho ho!"

"Hey hey hey hey!"

The others on the ship, witnessing this scene, all let out a variety of strange shouts, making the two who hadn't initially noticed anything suddenly feel somewhat embarrassed. Ji Han quickly tugged at Shi Shaoyu's arm, and Shi Shaoyu promptly let go.

"Old Shi, I'm fine. I just wasn't paying attention. I wouldn't have fallen even if you hadn't pulled me up. After all, I'm better than you at fighting!"

Shi Shaoyu... What's so embarrassing? Embarrassment is nothing. He'd be better off practicing martial arts himself, instead of being called a loser who's good for neither literature nor martial arts and is just a perennial runner-up!

After pulling his arm back, Ji Han quickly stomped his feet to get used to the feeling of his feet landing. However, when he looked up at Shi Shaoyu, he only saw an angry back: Who made him angry again?

Ji Han shook his head and sighed: "Tsk tsk tsk, a man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, I really can't understand it. Speaking of which, has Shi Shaoyu been throwing tantrums more often lately?"

If Ji Han could figure it out, Shi Shaoyu naturally sensed it too, but he just couldn't control himself. What could he do? It was all that dream's fault! It was all those spoiled brats' fault. He had to go back and give those adults a good scolding for their children and grandchildren!

Yes, when he received the message to return to the city, Shi Shaoyu was extremely excited. He took out the fine wine he had been treasuring in the cabin for a long time, opened it all that night, and drank it with everyone on the ship.

Drinking was fine, but who knew those men could hold their liquor so poorly? When men get drunk, they just brag, joke, and talk about women. Unfortunately, none of the men on this ship had seen a woman in a long time. It wasn't that they hadn't seen any at all; they could occasionally see some when the ship docked. But General Chen's rule was strict, and he absolutely forbade soldiers from leaving the group or acting alone.

In other words, even if they met, it would only be a fleeting glimpse from afar, and they would never exchange a single word.

Therefore, everyone that day shared their rich experiences and observations, especially the spoiled rich kids. As they talked, someone said something...

"Speaking of fair skin, I think even the most beautiful courtesan in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion isn't as fair as our Prince An Ding! With his looks, figure, and skin, if he wore a dress, let alone the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, no one in the entire Tianqi Kingdom could compare to him!"

If they were sober, absolutely no one would dare say this to Ji Han, not even behind his back. After all, Ji Han is no pushover. They would avoid him like the plague, let alone provoke him!

However! By then, everyone on the boat was completely drunk, including Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. Nobody knew what had gotten into Shi Shaoyu; he just started acting on someone else's suggestion.

He simply tossed Ji Han over his shoulder and hoisted him onto his back, making Ji Han almost vomit all the wine in his stomach onto him! And so, Shi Shaoyu staggered back to their cabin.
