Through this kind of thing, one life and two times familiarity.

Cheng Qiao woke up from the dizziness, and with her eyes closed, she could clearly feel that she was lying on a bed, but this bed was obviously not as warm and comfortable as the one she slept on when she first crossed, and there were some slight bumps and shaking. When she calmed down, she heard the sound of rushing water, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a cabin, with a bamboo mat on the small plank, no wonder she felt uncomfortable just now. The cabin is not large, with only a small window to let in light and air.

She raised her hand to take a look, her skin was white and thin, and she was no longer a short fat hand like a child, and she touched her face again, there was no flesh, it seemed that this time it was not a teenager. She was just about to get up when a round-faced girl in an emerald green shirt with a double ring slowly pushed the hatch open a man-wide narrow door, and then walked in lightly, as if afraid of waking her up.

Seeing her sit up, he put the tray in his hand on the table, walked in front of her, and asked, "Girl, are you awake?"

The girl in front of her looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a goose egg face and big eyes, Cheng Qiao felt that this girl looked very familiar, recalled it in her mind, and said in her heart: Isn't this the girl's version of Cuiru?

"Huh!" Cuiru replied, "What do you have to say?"

She was right. Cuiru is now fifteen or sixteen years old, so it has been five or six years since the last time she crossed over? Cheng Qiao muttered in his heart, waved his hand at Cuiru, and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little bored." ”

The cabin is not large, and there is only one window, so it will feel stuffy after staying for a long time.

"Girl, just bear with it, this is already the best room on this boat!" Cuiru picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then walked to the table and brought the bowl on the tray to her: "Girl, drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat!"

Cheng Qiao took the bowl over, held it to his mouth and drank a few sips, his mouth was sweet and sour, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Cuiru stood beside her, holding a fan and shaking it gently, muttering in her mouth: "It's hot like this before you get ambushed, don't make a big deal......

"Phew! What does it have to do with abnormal weather and big things happening in the world, superstition!" Cheng Qiao felt that his whole body had strength after drinking the sour plum soup, and he had enough confidence to speak.

Cuiru was a little unconvinced, and pouted and argued: "Why doesn't it matter? Girl, you forgot, five years ago, there was a rare drought in our land of fish and rice, and then King Ning rebelled, didn't he fail and was arrested in the end? That King Ning is really a bad seed, as soon as the imperial army arrived, he shrank, and as a result, ah......" Cuiru said so well that she suddenly remembered something, secretly glanced at Cheng Qiao, and her voice was suppressed: "That ...... He was also implicated and sentenced to be ......"

"Who's that?" Cheng Qiao glared at her, how could she be so vague when she said something at a young age.

Cuiru had a look of embarrassment on her face, paused for a moment, and said: "Girl, don't you remember? It's okay if you don't remember, Mrs. always scolded him for being a white-eyed wolf, I thought I would climb the high branches of the Ning Wang family, but the result was that I went to the guillotine in advance......

As soon as she explained this, Cheng Qiao knew what was going on, and the person who could be scolded by her mother must be her scumbag father who stopped his wife and remarried.

Did King Ning still rebel? Sure enough, it was the same as the result she checked on the Internet after she went back.

"That's why I said it's like this again this year...... Fear...... I'm afraid the world is going to be chaotic again......" Cuiru continued with a drooping face.

Cheng Qiao glared at her angrily, "Shut up! Just talk to me about this in private, don't chew your tongue outside." Besides, even if the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold on for you, what are you afraid of?"

Her voice was not loud but extremely harsh, so frightened that Cuiru immediately lowered her head and confessed her mistake: "Girl, I was wrong......

Cheng Qiao touched her head and soothed: "Don't do this next time." It is a felony to talk about state affairs!"

"Hmm!" Triru nodded.

"Where's my mother?" Cheng Qiao asked again.

Cuiru raised her head and glanced at her strangely: "Girl, are you sleeping in a daze again?" Madame is in the mansion of Guangyuan Mansion, our Cheng family's newly opened shop is doing good business, Madame is very busy, I can't accompany you to Zhuangzi to escape the summer as in previous years, you ran out with me as soon as you were angry."

Cheng Qiao listened to this girl's spoilers silently, only to know that Mrs. Cheng was focused on developing the family business, neglecting the time spent with her daughter, and the girl who was in the rebellious period chose to run away from home. When they arrived at the dock, they didn't rent a passenger ship, but they met a cargo ship that their family was going to the south to deliver goods, so they asked the owner to give them a ride by the way.

The girl she wore was so bold that she dared to run away with the maid alone. But then again, how can this girl be as unlucky as her, she has a workaholic strong woman mother.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Cheng Qiao deliberately stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples, "Hey, I'm sleepy, I'm still dizzy at this moment." Why don't you help me out there and get some air?"

Cuiru was also afraid that her master would be sick, so she combed her makeup and changed her clothes neatly.

Cheng Qiao stood on the bow of the boat, the two sides of the river are rolling green hills, the river is surging and rushing away at his feet, and his mind is not very cheesy and reminds me of Li Taibai's poem "The light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains." ”

At this time, the river water was still relatively clear, unlike the turbid yellow water that would have been a few hundred years later.

"What time is it?" asked Cheng Qiao.

Cuiru looked up at the sky: "Look at this day, it's probably not time." ”

"No wonder it's so hot!" A summer afternoon should be the hottest time of the day.

The sky was blue and cloudless, and the sun was shining hotly on the river. The river water was shining brightly, and the oncoming river breeze carried a trace of heat.

After blowing the river breeze for a while, I finally didn't sweat anymore. It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery along the way is, you will get tired of watching it for a long time, Cheng Qiao chose to go back to the inner cabin when he was tired, sat by the window, looked out of the window boredly and asked Cuiru: "How long do we have to get there?"

Cuiru thought for a while and replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the ferry until tomorrow morning." When we got off the boat, we had to take a carriage for more than two hours to get to Taowu Town. ”

"Oh my God......" Cheng Qiao hugged his head and screamed in pain.

"Girl, bear with me one more day. After all, this is a cargo ship, and the speed of loading cargo cannot be compared with that of a passenger ship after all. Cuiru comforted her.

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the river red, and Cheng Qiao saw an oasis in the center of the river through the small window. She had been sitting on the boat for most of the day, and the hull of the boat shook violently when the current was so fast, that it was completely incomparable to a modern ferry. When she finally saw a piece of land, she asked Cuiru to go to the owner of the boat and ask if she could let them rest on the sandbar without delaying a lot of time.

The owner of the boat was willing to make it easier for them, and he specially instructed them to return to the boat before dark, because when the moon came out and the river rose, the whole sandbar would be submerged.

Cheng Qiao stepped on the sand and gravel and finally had a down-to-earth feeling.

The blue reeds that entered the eyes were almost more than a man tall. The river breeze blows, swaying and making a rustling sound, and from time to time there are river gulls flying low in the air. It's a pity that it didn't come at the right time, Cheng Qiao said in his heart, in modern times, there are ten miles of reeds on the river beach of the provincial capital, in late autumn, the reeds fade their green coat, the white reed flowers are in full bloom, and the breeze blows and swayes, attracting countless tourists and photography enthusiasts, and even opens up a special reed cruise line.

"Ahhh......h

"What's wrong?" she asked, surprised.

Cui Ru shrank and pointed to a piece of reed, obviously frightened, and couldn't even spit out a complete sentence: "Aunt...... Aunt ......"

"I'm not your aunt, and you're not a child!"

Cuiru hadn't seen Jin Daxia's classics, so naturally she wouldn't understand Cheng Qiao's jokes, and her body trembled so much that she could only remind her intermittently: "Girl...... There...... There's a dead man there!"

Cheng Qiao looked in the direction of her finger, with an inexplicable expression: "How can there be?" it must be that you are dazzled...... As soon as the words fell, a gust of river wind blew, and the reeds shook a few times, revealing a dark purple corner of the clothes.

She opened her mouth wide, and suddenly she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and said in her heart: What kind of shit luck is this...... However, admiring the scenery can also meet dead people! If it were in modern times, she would definitely immediately take out her mobile phone and dial 110, but in ancient times, when transportation and communication were not developed, who could tell her what to do? Wait until she went ashore to the Yamen to report the case? What if people said that this Jiangxinzhou was a wilderness and did not fall under their jurisdiction?

But in an instant, all kinds of thoughts quickly flashed through her mind, and finally decided that it was better to save more than one thing, and pulled Cuiru to leave here quickly, where is she still in the mood to see the scenery.

The reeds moved again, revealing a bloodstained hand reaching in their direction. The bloody hand reached into the air, and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, drawing several scarring blood streaks of different shades on the sand.

Cheng Qiao and Cuiru glanced at each other and screamed in unison: "Ghost!" Then he turned around at the same time, holding hands and running quickly towards the boat parked by the sandbar.

Halfway through the run, Cheng Qiao noticed that something was wrong and stopped.

Cuiru thought that she was tired and couldn't run, so she hurriedly asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" If you can't run, I'll help you go......

Cheng Qiao shook his hand at her: "Wait a minute......"

Cuiru cried with a sad face: "Girl, it's too scary here, what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

Cheng Qiao shook his head, although he was still a little scared in his heart, he still had the courage to say: "It's not dark yet, what the hell is going on." I figured it out...... Maybe...... Maybe there's someone there who is hurting and crying for help?"
