Chapter XXIV Farewell
The team went all the way, and after a short time, they left the Rujiang Gate and walked for a short time to the Xiatangguan Ferry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, I saw many people on both sides of the ferry gate carrying large and small packages, apparently to see off these distribution people.
Diao Ye beckoned everyone to stop, and shouted at his own group: "We will get on the boat and cross the river in a while, and before the boat arrives, you can quickly see if anyone comes to practice for you." If you have it, hurry up, and wait for the boat to wait. ”
"Girl, girl------" Li Yunbao was coaxing Brother An, and heard the voices of Gu's mother and Ziqin from a distance. Looking up and looking around, he saw Wang Bao and Ziqin running towards him with Gu's mother in their arms.
Gu's mother stepped forward and hugged her when she saw her, "Girl, I'm sorry for you." Woooooooooooo ”
"Don't cry, don't you see I'm good." Li Yunbao hurriedly comforted her. Brother An, who was in her arms, was not surprised by Gu's mother who suddenly pounced on her, but just obediently played with her fingers in Rainbow Dash's arms.
Over there, Wang Bao and Ziqin saluted in unison, saying, "Greetings to my uncle." ”
"You are free, and you don't need to be polite." Shen Xingnan motioned to them not to be formal.
Before Li Yunbao could surprise him, how could Shen Xingnan know that the other party was free, Gu's mother said again: "On the third day that you let me have equal registration with my son and Ziqin, we heard that the Guogong Mansion was raided, and it was a big crime to pity my girl. Woo woo, or the old slave should go to the far north with you, otherwise how can the old slave feel at ease. ”
"Yes, the girl Ziqin will also go with you." Ziqin on the side hurriedly made a statement.
"So what do I do? Why don't I come along?" Wang Bao asked, scratching his head on the side.
Seeing that Li Yunbao didn't understand anything about them like this, he laughed and said, "My good mother, I see Ziqin and my brother Wang Bao have become a pair." Hehe, Mom, you are old, you should stay in the capital with peace of mind and wait for the future to bring your grandchildren. Don't worry, I'm fine, and I don't still have a husband. After speaking, he mouthed Shen Xingnan Nunu on the side.
"Mother Gu, don't worry, I will do my best to take care of the two of them." Shen Xingnan hurriedly expressed his position.
Gu's mother was immediately deeply pleased, her girl had finally waited for her uncle's change of heart, so she was relieved, and it was not in vain that her girl had been affectionate for so many years.
"Girl, my mother and Ziqin have prepared some things for you on the road, and you can take them here." Wang Baowen said to himself angrily.
"Brother Wang Bao, you have to be filial to your mother in the future, I will hand over Ziqin to you, you have to take care of her."
"Girl, don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never starve them." Wang Bao patted his chest and reassured.
Ziqin came up and hugged herself at the same time, "Girl, there is a cotton jacket in the back basket for you and your brother, some commonly used pills, there is a gourd of soju, and I changed fifty taels of loose silver for you in it, the umbrella and oil paper cloth are for you to protect from the rain on the road, and two catties of braised beef to pad your stomach on the road." Girl, I can't bear to ------ you," he choked up as he spoke.
At this time, Gu's mother stepped forward and handed herself a purse, "Girl, you take it, the old slave here is loaded with the two hundred taels of silver tickets you gave me, don't dislike it." ”
"Mom, I don't want this, you take it back. This is your pension money, if you don't take it back, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a nurse in the future! Besides, there is still Ziqin in this back basket. She pretended to be annoyed and said that Gu's mother had been prevaricating with her for a long time before she couldn't take it back.
"The time has come, everyone is hurrying to get on the boat and cross the river, don't delay your efforts, there are still a lot of ways to catch up today." Not far away, there was the shouting of the yacha.
Immediately, the entire ferry burst into heart-rending cries.
Maybe some people cry that their homeland is hard to leave; Maybe someone is crying about the imminent parting; There may be people who cry about the wealth that is gone.
All kinds of things seem to be far away from her Li Yunbao, so far away, yes, everything she has has stayed in that prosperous era, and now the land under her feet and these people around her are strangers, she has not parted, nor is she reluctant.
She just stepped forward a few steps forward again, hugged Gu's mother and Ziqin, and said to the son in her arms, "An'er said goodbye to Grandma Gu and Aunt Qin." ”
"Goodbye grandma, goodbye Aunt Qin." Brother An said goodbye obediently.
She picked up the basket on her back, "Mom, Brother Wang Bao, Ziqin, don't send it back." ”
Li Yunbao sniffed and couldn't think of what else to say at this time, they might not be able to see each other in their lives today, so they could only say dry words to let them stay.
"Stop, there will be a time later." Shen Xingnan was beside him, and after speaking to the nurse, he turned around and took Li Yunbao's hand and walked into the gate.
Rainbow Dash turned around and saw Gu's mother crying in Ziqin's arms, and Wang Bao next to her was holding Ziqin, who was also crying, and the three of them stood on tiptoe, trying to raise their necks and look in their direction.
"Let's go, I'll be back, I promise." Shen Xingnan looked back into the distance, one day he Shen Xingnan Hall will come back here again with a full body of glory, he believes that with him doing this now, it will not be too long. This day is the first day of the 11th month of the 38th year of the Holy Virtue.
The group got on the boat, this is not the kind of ten-story galleon that Li Yunbao sat on in her memory. This boat is twice as big as a fishing boat, and it has high sails, but it is only one layer, and it is estimated that this is a boat used by civilians to cross the river.
Shen Xingnan led Li Yunbao to the cabin with the child, and found a place to sit down.
"Is the back basket heavy? I can't help you with my shackles, I'll work hard for you today, I'll carry it tomorrow, and you can take the child with you. ”
After a pause, he said, "You can lean on me for a while, and after getting off the boat, you have to travel dozens of miles today." ”
Seeing that he was so considerate, why didn't Li Yunbao do it? Put down the back basket on his back, put it beside him, and sat down against him with his son who fell asleep unconsciously, and then thought about untying the burden behind Shen Xingnan, tied it up again with the wrapper, threw it in the back basket, and took the bag of fifty taels of loose silver, and then she wrapped her son tightly with the cloak, and leaned on Shen Xingnan to close her eyes and recuperate.
Jia Meili looked at the two people who showed affection on the other side, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to have a seizure, but she saw Shen Xingnan's cannibalistic cold eyes and had no courage, so she had to hug her son on her chest and bury her face in her son's body to cover the vicious face that she could no longer hide.
About half an hour later, when the ship was about to dock, Shen Xingnan woke up Li Yunbao softly, "Ah Bao, the ship is about to dock, let's tidy up and see if we don't leave things behind, we will get off the boat in a while." ”
Li Yunbao, who was originally recuperating with his eyes closed, fell asleep unconsciously, Shen Xingnan called her before she woke up, she rubbed her face with both hands, looked down to see that the child had not woken up and got up to wrap the child, it is not a joke if the child catches a cold by the riverside.
When he was about to carry the bamboo basket, Shen Xingnan strongly said that he wanted to divide some things into the burden for him to carry, seeing that he was so good, Li Yunbao of course wanted to fulfill him, so he immediately divided some things into the baggage, and then packed them for him to carry back his back, and got off the boat with the flow of people.
Diao Ye nodded at the group of people he was escorting, and when he saw that everyone was together, he greeted and started today's sixty-mile journey.
On the first day, there was a lot of delay due to the morning gathering and send-off, so I didn't come to the post station until about three o'clock (eight or nine o'clock in the modern evening).
Diao Ye arranged a large bunk room for the Shen family like other exiled families, and twenty-five people squeezed into one room, and some people were definitely unwilling, and they were pleading with Diao Ye over there to negotiate.
Li Yunbao looked at the room that was quite spacious, didn't care about anything else, went directly to the door and found a place by the window, hurriedly put his son down first, and while Shen Xingnan hadn't come in yet, he hurriedly and secretly smuggled the sleeping bag specially prepared in the space into the back basket.
