There are a lot of things to do over the weekend, and the update is too late, sorry...... I'll do my best to bring the update time forward and fix it. Zhang Xing's heart was like a big stone pressed down, and it became heavier and heavier.

On this day, Liu Laicai still came to deliver food and water, and when he saw Zhang Xing looking at the small window in a daze, he said with a smile: "Apricot girl, what can you see here?

Zhang Xing smiled and took the dishes and chopsticks, and while eating, she talked to Liu Laicai.

"Uncle Liu, how long do we have to get to Quantang Town?" When they fled at that time, they begged and walked, and it took more than a month to reach Huaiyang, and the waterway was faster than the dry road, so I don't know how much time it would take.

"It's a quick boat ride, and it's still four or five days away. Liu Laicai said, "What, do you feel bored?"

Zhang Xing has been on the boat for so long, she can't go up at all, the bilge is small and stuffy, and the adults can't stand it, but this kid has been silent for so long, it's really too well-behaved.

Zhang Xing shook her head with a smile, "It's not boring." ”

Liu Laicai sat down opposite Zhang Xing and said, "Xing'er, don't worry, that Boss Zhao is from Yu'an, and he is half a villager with you, and he is kind." He also knows that you were brought on board by me, and if you are bored, even if you go up to it, take in the wind, and look at the scenery, he will not say anything. ”

"I know. Zhang Xing nodded with a smile and said.

Liu Laicai said so, and after Zhang Xing had eaten, he went up the ladder to the deck. They are walking in the middle of the Huaishui, both sides are several feet away from the shore, there is no human figure on the shore, only a few withered yellow old trees stand silently, the silt after the flood has dried up, from a distance, a desolate gray white.

Zhang Xingzheng was watching quietly, and suddenly felt that someone was coming, so she hurriedly lowered her head and stepped aside.

The visitor stood beside her. Zhang Xing glanced at the corner of the blue-gray satin robe next to her. Liu Laicai doesn't know how to wear this clothes, this person is probably Boss Zhao's group. She is a person who takes a hitchhiker, how can she stand with others. Zhang Xing was about to go back to his bilge.

"Little girl. The man shouted.

Zhang Xing stood still, turned around to take a look, and quickly lowered his head. This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slightly wide body and a warm face. Zhang Xing didn't come, so this person walked up to Zhang Xing and asked, "The little girl is from Quantang Town?"

Zhang Xing nodded, "Yes." ”

The person smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I am from Yu'an, speaking of which, we are also half of the villagers." ”

How could Zhang Xing be afraid? It's just that she is cautious, and she doesn't want others to pay more attention to herself, so she just behaves like a teenager. This person doesn't look like a subordinate person, Zhang Xing expected that he was probably Boss Zhao himself.

Zhang Xing heard Liu Laicai say that Boss Zhao's full name is Zhao Deyi, and he is in the rice grain business, and there are more than a dozen rice grain shops at home. Although he is a native of Yuan, most of his business is in the Kyoto area. This time, the Yu'an flood caused serious damage in the Jianghuai area, and the crops in the fields failed. Boss Zhao had always transported rice and grain from the Jianghuai area to Kyoto, but this time he dropped one and transported grain from other places to Yu'an.

When Liu Laicai said this, his words were full of feelings, and he said that Boss Zhao was a good person.

Zhang Xing didn't dare to agree in her heart, businessmen pursue profits, and there is no exception anywhere. This Boss Zhao transported the grain to Yu'an, not necessarily for money. This person travels from south to north, and is so flexible, she can only be cautious in front of him.

"What's your name? Where are you from Quantang Town, and how could you go to Huaiyang alone?" asked Zhao Deyi.

Zhang Xing didn't know what Liu Laicai said about her, and she was always right to reply with a few thoughts. She didn't dare to look like she didn't dare to look at it, and said in a low voice: "My name is Zhang Xing, and I am from Lizhuang Village, Quantang Town. ”

Zhao Deyi looked at Zhang Xing, and after seeing her say these two words, he bit his lip and stopped talking, and asked, "Then why did you go to Huaiyang alone?"

Zhang Xing just didn't say anything, biting her lip and squeezing out a few tears - she believed that Liu Laicai must have told this person the reason why she got on the boat, it was nothing more than the words she relayed to the Zheng family. But the Zheng family is simple and kind, and they don't have any doubts about their words, but the person in front of them is not necessarily. The more you talk, the more flaws there are.

Zhang Xing shed tears. Zhao Deyi couldn't ask any more. I asked her about some things about Yu'an Hair Water.

This matter is known to the whole world, and it is easy to answer. Zhang Xing picked up some well-known things and said. After hearing this, Zhao Deyi sighed and said, "Huaishui every year, crying every year." ”

Zhang Xing heard that the sentimentality in his words was so deep, and she couldn't help but look up at him again. Zhao Deyi stood leaning on the side of the boat, looking at the old trees in the deserted village on the riverbank, his face full of sadness.

Xu is Liu Laicai's words are true, this person does not seem to be hypocritical.

Zhang Xing saw that Zhao Deyi no longer asked himself, and quietly retreated into the cabin.

Zhao Deyi looked at the riverbank for a while, and his personal servant Zhao Shun came out, hurriedly went back to the cabin and took the cloak over, and while putting it on for him, he said, "Why did the master come up here to blow the cold wind?"

Zhao Deyi glanced at the board of the boat a few times and asked, "Hey, the little girl went in?"

Zhao Shun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Where is the little girl? I came here only to see you blowing the cold wind here alone, master." ”

Zhao Deyi smiled and said, "This little girl is a little interesting. ”

Zhao Shun saw that Zhao Deyi was still talking about the little girl, and there was no one else in the whole boat, except for Liu Laicai, a boatman, who brought a little girl. When Liu Laicai came to ask for this, he was also present, and the foreman refused to agree, but his master personally agreed to it.

Zhao Shun said: "Did the master say that the little girl who lives in the bilge? She came out today?" This little girl, he is also a little curious, a little girl who is only a teenager lives in the bilge that does not see the light of day, and she stays for more than ten days, but she is silent, and she has never even come up to the deck, which is unusual.

Zhao Deyi nodded. The girl looked young, but her face clearly did not look like a child. Although he was cowering and timid when he answered, he couldn't see a trace of fear in her eyes when she looked up, but he saw a little vigilance, and his demeanor was measured, and his words were impermeable, not at all like a child from a small family.

Besides, Liu Laicai said that this little girl was scared by someone's teeth and escaped. A little girl who is only a teenager has the courage to escape from the hands of human teeth, and she can still survive after staying in the deep mountains and old forests for so long.

Whether this matter is true or not, this little girl is not simple.

"Master, have you talked to her? Does she know about Yu'an?" Zhao Shun said again. He and Zhao Deyi are in love with each other, and he also knows the thoughts of his master. The Zhao family's hometown is in Yu'an, and although Zhao Deyi's family has moved to Yunyang, near Kyoto, many relatives of the family are still in Yu'an. Zhao Deyi's ability to have today is related to the help of several close relatives of Yu'an's family back then. This time, Yu'an suffered such a catastrophe, and his lord also felt a lot of sorrow. In August, a batch of grain was raised to be transported to Yu'an, because the New Year was coming, and this ship was urgently raised, wanting to transport it to Yu'an before the year.

Zhao Deyi remembered the words of the little girl just now, he asked, although she answered, but it was some well-known things, after asking for a long time, he didn't hear anything he wanted to know, as for whether she knew about Lu Dao Yu'an, maybe only when she arrived in Quantang Town did she know the answer.
