What do I think?

Do I have a choice? Even women with children, several people shivered on the dark riverside. Wen Xiu and I exchanged glances, the ship sank strangely, and we didn't know what the origin of the people on the boat next to us was.

Wenxiu may not be afraid, and I am not the person who fell in the wind before, but the others - the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

I said, "I would like to excuse me, and please thank your master on our behalf." ”

He said, "Madame, you don't have to be polite, please come with me." Ah Zheng, you help carry the luggage, Ah Cheng, the front is bright. He was good at dancing with long sleeves and polite: "Madame, please come with me, this son also helps take care of the female dependents and children." ”

This Steward Liu...... What is the origin? The big housekeepers of the Jia family, Zhou Rui, and Lin Zhixiao, still rely on them, and they can't be compared with this person at all. If he doesn't say it, others will treat him like a noble lord.

The big boat was very close to us, a few steps away, and the boat had been set up with a wide and flat plank, so that two people could walk side by side, and I took Sister Qiao's hand tightly and walked up to the big boat. There are two and a half floors on the deck alone, and the bilges below the deck are counted...... I noticed where the ship was moored, and the bottom of the ship must have been very large. The ships of this era are not the pointed bottom boats of the later period, and the bottoms of the boats are all adapted to navigation in the river, so they are relatively flat and wide.

The ship must have been specially made, like the car I had imitated, not for loading or carrying people

"Madame, please go this way. ”

I glanced at him, and there were no signs on the lanterns hanging on the ship, so I couldn't tell anything more.

Then we heard a shout: "Lao Liu, what are you three people tossing without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

The voice...... Why do I think I've heard of it?

The man leading the way in front also stopped, and I turned around to see a man standing on the side of the second floor, bending down to look down.

"It was a boat next to it that suddenly sank, there were women and children on the boat, it was too cold outside, and there were three empty rooms on the right, so ......"

The man didn't listen to Steward Liu's explanation: "The three rooms on the right don't even have a charcoal basin, how can you settle people? ”

Steward Liu responded: "Yes." ”

I already know who this person is. However, is it really fate? Or for some reason, I met this person again and again.

I raised my voice and asked, "Is it Jiang Gongzi above?"

The wind from the river blew my raised voice to pieces, but the man above clearly heard, and heard clearly.

"Huh?"

He put his hand on the railing and jumped off it. I didn't have anything, but the mother-in-law and the girl who followed behind me were startled.

This person has kung fu, and his kung fu is good.

I didn't know how to exchange a look with Wenxiu again, I don't know who is better than Wenxiu's kung fu. And I always feel that the time and place of this person's appearance is too coincidental.

"Oh, Madame, it's you, this is really ......" Jiang Gongzi didn't wear a thick cotton coat, he was dressed very neatly, and the corner of the front of the long shirt was tucked into the belt around his waist: "It's really a crime to go out on such a cold day, you can quickly enter the cabin and warm up." ”

I nodded: "Thank you, Jiang Gongzi." It seems that every time I see you, it is not a good time, it is either wind or rain. ”

And, the last time I met him, my car changed. This time I met him, and my ship sank. Is this man a scourge?

He pushed open a hatch, and the warmth and brightness inside was beyond my expectations: "Madame and Mademoiselle, please rest here, and the next people have another room." Hmm, this son's noble surname?" he seemed to have just noticed Wenxiu's existence.

"Exempt from expensive, surnamed Li, Li Ji. ”

"Ah, Master Li. Since there are all women here, it is not appropriate to place you here. Please come with me, there is still a vacant room over there. ”

Huh? I quickly turned around, was the empty house next door a place where men lived? How could Wenxiu be with them......

However, Wen Xiu said calmly: "Then ask Liu Gongzi to lead the way." ”

Sister Qiao is so sleepy, relying on me that she has begun to fall asleep. Wen Xiu glanced back at me, his eyes full of determination, and then followed the man in the other direction.

"Grandma, come and warm up with a roast. Ping'er took Sister Qiao over, there was a very wide bed in the cabin, Ping'er carefully put Sister Qiao down, I sat at the table, feeling that all around me was a confused black fog - something was happening around me, but I couldn't figure it out.

I know these things are unusual, but ...... What's out of the ordinary?

"Grandma, drink some water. ”

Someone knocked on the door and brought hot water to him, and then added a charcoal basin to him, Ping'er thanked him and brought him into the house, and then poured hot tea for me.

I took the cup, although the tea in it was very hot, but the cup was not hot, it was good porcelain.

Ping'er's face was also red by the wind, and I said, "You can also rest and drink some tea to warm up." ”

"Grandma, that's a ...... A good ship, parked there and not moving, how can it be said that it sank?"

The corners of my mouth curled slightly, and I whispered, "What a coincidence, the last time I met that Jiang Gongzi, our car broke down." This time I met him again, and it was the ship that sank. It seems that we have a rush with him, as long as we meet, we will have to cause some trouble. ”

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, apparently beginning to ponder what I said.

"Grandma mean that?" her voice lowered, and she leaned closer to me and whispered, "Are you saying they're probably coming for us?"

"It's hard to say. "I can't figure it out. What do I have to be plotted for? What else is there for money? But when it comes to money, it is obvious that people are more wealthy than me. It's impossible, that Jiang Gongzi has a hearty attitude, and when he looks at me, he doesn't have half of his eyes that are confused or full of lust.

But I can't find any other reason for this.

"Grandma, what should we do now?" Ping'er said worriedly: "Sister Wenxiu, she went over there with that person, I don't know...... Could there be something wrong?"

I'm also worried that Wen Xiu and that Jiang Gongzi will go to the cabin on the other side of the shipβ€”it will be fine, right? If all this is not a coincidence, as I suspected, then what is the purpose of this Jiang Gongzi and his men following us closely? Will it be bad for Wen Xiu?

It's a pity that I don't have martial arts at all, and not only will we not be able to help the show, but will become a burden to her.

I don't understand, it's so strange in front of me.

"Grandma, don't worry too much, it's not far from the capital, and Shilipu is a big town, so they don't dare to do anything. Ping'er seemed to comfort herself and me, and said, "Grandma bakes a fire, so let's lie down and rest for a while." It's really not good, let's quit them early tomorrow morning, and then go find another boat, and get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Yes, Ping'er is right.

However, I don't know why I thought of a sentence at this time: It's easy to get on a thief ship...... With a sudden jump in my heart, I shook my head and put this thought away.

Suddenly, there was a bang in the distance, as if something heavy had collided, and it seemed to have knocked over some large piece of furniture. I was worried about Wenxiu's safety, I was already restless, I jumped up when I heard the sound, rushed over and pulled out the latch and was about to rush out, a voice came from behind me: "Madam, please be restless, there should be nothing wrong, please relax." ”

I was taken aback and quickly turned my head.

A man stood not far behind me, a paper lantern swaying in the night breeze, its dim swaying light around him, his face unobstructible.

I leaned against the door vigilantly and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Madame, don't panic, I'm Jiang Xie's senior brother, and my surname is Shen. The younger brother is a young man with an impetuous temperament, and he always likes to mess around, and if he is offended, he asks his wife to bear with him. ”

I fixed my mind: "Shen Gongzi, you are polite, we have been taken in, and we have not thanked Shen Gongzi yet." ”

He didn't speak, and I felt as if I heard a sigh, but perhaps it was the wind on the river that gave me the illusion. There really wasn't any reason for this man to sigh, and he and I had only just met each other.

"Madam, please don't be polite, if you need anything, just tell Liu Yuan. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't.

I asked, "Because there is another person who went over there with Jiang Gongzi just now, and I heard a noise just now, and I don't know what happened, so I want to go over and take a look." ”

He was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll accompany Madame over." ”

He took two steps forward, his face illuminated by the light of the lantern, and I finally saw his face.
