After separating from Sister Hui's sister and brother, Cui Yijing was depressed for several days. Shen Shu was finally relieved and felt more relaxed than ever, coupled with Cui Yijing's innocent expression after seeing it for a long time, this expression is quite rare for him now, after all, even if a beauty has a sad face, she is still a beauty and is still so eye-catching, so she was a little unconcerned when she comforted Cui Yijing, and after two days of seeing enough, she took advantage of the boat to buy some things to make two gadgets for him.

Cui Yijing is a child's heart, even if he is really sad, it is not easy to persist in being sad for a few days, plus now that he has toys again, he quickly put that little thing behind and concentrated on fiddling with his toys.

From Jingzhou to Shaokang, go down the river, if you rush day and night, it will take about half a month to arrive. However, Shen Shu was not in a hurry, and even walked all the way to ask the boat couple if there was anything delicious and fun at the nearby ferry, and if so, he would stop for a day or two, and take Cui Yijing to taste it and have a look, as if he was traveling.

Rushing in such a leisurely way, coupled with the fact that Sister Hui and Brother Zhen had been delayed for two days before, Shen Shu and Cui Yijing had set off from Jingzhou for almost a month and a half, but there was still one-fifth of the way to the destination Shaokang. The two of them had a good time, but it was a little bad to follow the Yue Donghai all the way.

He was poor.

was originally poor, and hurried to Jingzhou from Huaixing'an Mansion, bringing with him the belongings he had accumulated for several years, but he was barely able to do a good job when he could save all the way, and invited doctors for Shen Shu and Cui Yijing, so there were really not a few copper plates left, and they were even poorer.

In fact, the Xie family was quite generous when they repaid them before, but Yue Donghai confiscated it, because although it seemed that he helped the Xie family and his party, he knew in his heart that he had also deceived them and lied about Shen Shu's situation, plus he didn't feel very good about the Xie family, so he couldn't convince himself to take their money.

After that, Shen Shu gave him another fifty taels of silver, although he accepted it, but it only cost a little, and the rest was quietly stuffed back into her salute when she and Cui Yijing set off.

Yue Donghai didn't know how much money she was carrying, but it shouldn't be much, after all, she left suddenly without preparation. With her proud nature, it is hard to imagine that she would be willing to accept help from others, so he is not willing to take her money, and it is always good to let her have more money in her hands.

He found someone he knew for Shen Shu at Jingzhou Wharf to send them to Shaokang, when the boatman asked him if he wanted to go back to Huaixing Mansion by the way, although he wanted to be together, but because he was worried that she would think too much, he still refused. After that, I found another boat along the way to follow, because I don't worry, although the boatman who picked up the work is an acquaintance, but when it is inevitable that there will be an accident when walking on the water, one more person will have more protection, and it is to follow all the way.

The ship he took was a cargo ship, and the shipowner was not as familiar as the one before, and even if he was familiar, he couldn't be someone else's ship in vain, so he didn't have idleness all the way to the East China Sea, and often helped the boatman carry some things as the fare. He thought that this road would take about a month at most, but he didn't expect that Shen Shu first met Sister Hui and Brother Zhen and delayed the trip, and then stopped every now and then, and it took a day or two to stop.

This made Yue Donghai feel a little depressed. If the cargo ship he was on was in a hurry, he couldn't delay it for a few days, let alone stop for a few days on a whim like Shen Shu. He had no choice but to get off the boat and look for a new downwind boat, but where was the boat so easy to find, and he didn't know all the people on this river.

If the itinerary is not right, you can only settle for the second, and you can settle for a little time before and after. But as time went by, even if he wanted to, he really couldn't find a suitable boat, so he gritted his teeth and found the boatman when Shen Shu and Cui Yijing went ashore to play.

The boatman didn't expect to see him here, a little surprised, and for his request to take a ride, he said that he needed to ask Shen Shu's consent, which was requested by Shen Shu, because an unpleasant thing happened on the way. The boat family kindly took a ride with a bunch of poor fathers and sons, and Shen Shu didn't say anything at that time, but on the way, when the adults were not paying attention, the child not only snatched Cui Yijing's toys, but also beat people. Shen Shu was so angry at the time that she asked the kid to apologize to Cui Yijing, and asked the boatman to find the nearest place to stop the boat and drive people down. After that, she told the boatman that she wanted to take someone in the future, and hoped to inform her in advance, after all, she spent her wallet on the boat.

However, the boatman comforted Yue Donghai, "Don't worry, Mrs. Shen is a very kind person, and you know each other, she will definitely be willing to let you take the boat." ”

Of course, Yue Donghai knew that she was a good person, but he was still a little apprehensive.

In the evening, Shen Shu and Cui Yijing came back, and she was also surprised to see Yue Donghai sitting on the bow of the boat, but she no longer thought about people in a bad direction like before, probably because her heart was relaxed when she was free.

Shen Shu stepped forward to greet him, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here." ”

Yue Donghai nodded, and after a while, he spoke a little crampedly, "Can I take a ride on your boat along the way, I can't get enough entanglement......" The voice became quieter and quieter as it went to the back.

Running out of money is not something to be ashamed of, but it's also not something to be proud of. He could actually find a reason, but after all, he didn't want to lie to her.

Shen Shu was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly she was stunned. Later, on the way, she found some scattered silver in the salute, and after a little thought, she confronted Yue Donghai, but she didn't expect that he not only pushed the thank you gift she was going to give later, but even returned the previous meal money to him. Because he had already traveled a long way at that time, even if Shen Shu wanted to hand it over to him again, he couldn't find anyone, so he simply put this matter down, and he almost forgot about it.

I didn't expect to meet here again now.

"Okay. Shen Shu smiled, and then said to him, "You shouldn't have eaten breakfast yet, this is what Brother Jing and I brought back from the stall on the dock, I haven't touched it, and if you don't dislike it, you will eat some." ”

A person who doesn't even have the money to take a boat will have the extra money to eat. He was reluctant to accept Shen Shu's money no matter what, and even quietly gave it back to her, but now he probably won't ask for it, and it is estimated that he can say that he wants to take a boat along the way, but he has been struggling in his heart for a long time. In this case, if it was in modern times, Shen Shu would directly invite someone to dinner, but now that it is in the Southern Dynasty, she can only be tactful.

The food she brought back was prepared for Cui Yijing. Although he is a child's mind, it is precisely because of the age of his body that he is easy to get hungry, so it is better to bring some.

But now that he has met Yue Donghai, he will give it to him first. When the time comes, let Cui Yijing eat some fruits and snacks, and then let the boatman dock when he gets to the next ferry.

Yue Donghai was not stupid, so he naturally knew what she meant, and he reached out and thanked her after taking it.

Shen Shu shook her head slightly, and then took Cui Yijing back to the cabin.

The boat lifts anchor, and the boat leaves the dock and turns into the river, heading down the river.

When there was no one else on the boat before, Cui Yijing had always followed Shen Shu, even if he was playing with toys, he had to be by her side, except for not following her when he was napping. Later, after the incident with the father and son who took the boat, she was glued even tighter.

After Yue Donghai took a tailwind boat, he worked hard to brush Cui Yijing's favor, played with toys with him, took him to the deck to lie down and watch the sky, and occasionally jumped into the river to catch fish for him.

Cui Yijing's childlike nature, really good coaxing, Yue Donghai only took a few days to brush Cui Yijing's favorability to intimacy, he began to stick to Shen Shu not very much, although he first chose to be by Shen Shu's side when playing with toys, but if Yue Donghai called him, he would hold the toy and play with him, and when he was tired of playing, he would pull him to the deck, and later jumped into the river with Yue Donghai to play.

At that time, Shen Shu happened to come out of the cabin, didn't notice that Yue Donghai was in the water, saw Cui Yijing jumping down, and thought that she had accidentally fallen into the water, which scared her a lot, and hurriedly ran over, but saw Yue Donghai dragging in the water to prevent him from sinking, and he was slapping the water, and inadvertently looked up to see Shen Shu on the boat, and raised a bright smile, and happily called his mother.

Shen Shu was really angry, not laughing, gritted her teeth and turned back to the cabin.

Soon after, the two of them came up, Yue Donghai took Cui Yijing to change his clothes and came out, seeing that Shen Shu's face was not very good, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and then he was a little embarrassed to say to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you in advance when I took Brother Jing down to play, which made you worried." ”

Shen Shu also knew that he was kind. After all, Cui Yijing is in a special situation, and generally speaking, as long as he doesn't look at him in a strange light, Shen Shu is already very satisfied, and Yue Donghai not only doesn't have any dislike for him, but is even willing to play with him, which is even more rare.

But she was really scared at the time, and it took a long time for her heart to calm down.

"It's okay, I'm glad you can play with him, but next time there is a similar situation, I hope you can sue me first, so that I can be mentally prepared, so that I will not be scared by thinking that there was an accident." He had already apologized, and she wouldn't hold on to it, just a word of advice and the matter was revealed.

Almost half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the ship finally arrived at its destination, Shaokang.
