Chapter 286: Lian Yu
As time passed, it was almost noon, but there were still more than a dozen cars and horses in the team in front, Li Yunbao couldn't help but guess, with such a slow speed of crossing the river, there would be only one boat ferrying in the river, right? Otherwise, why is it so fast?
At this time, Li Yunbao finally remembered that when he crossed the Yellow River with the caravan, it seemed that they had been waiting at the ferry for two days, did this mean that Guandu was really burning time? I don't know if I can get to the town when I get to the opposite side today, and if I can find an inn to stay overnight?
Complaining is complaining, dissatisfied is dissatisfied, it has reached such a point, what else can she do but wait patiently?
But since it was already noon, Li Yunbao still had to take the children to eat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Entering the carriage and dragging the back basket over, using this almighty back basket to cover up, Li Yunbao took a piece of sliced braised beef, a plate of spring rolls, two melons and three boiled eggs out of the car, and at the same time took out fried noodles in oil and made a bowl for Kang Ge'er, first fed the next guy and gave him a small gourd of milk for him to hold and drink, Li Yunbao and An Ge'er had lunch.
After eating and drinking, Li Yunbao took water and let the children wash their hands, and wiped their faces, then took Kang Ge'er into his arms, sat on the side of the car and urinated for him, and picked him up horizontally, patting him rhythmically and gently to let him take a nap, while talking to An Ge'er.
"An'er, take a nap, my mother will fan you."
Brother An looked at the car in front of her, thought about it, and then responded glutinously, "Okay." ā
After answering, Brother An obediently leaned her head towards the carriage door, leaned against Li Yunbao and lay down, closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
Brother Kang in his arms was patted by Li Yunbao but was unwilling, the little fat finger pointed at Brother An, Li Yunbao put the little guy next to Brother An funny, Brother An immediately reached out and hugged his younger brother, just like Li Yunbao carefully held him to sleep before.
Kang Ge'er also stretched out his little hand and tugged at the placket on his brother's chest, and after screaming twice, he obediently closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Li Yunbao smiled at the two small buns with good feelings, took a single coat from the back basket and put it on the children's stomachs, and took out the fan to fan the two children one by one.
The time to fan his precious sons passed unconsciously, and before Li Yunbao felt how long he had worked, the carriage in front of him ran out, and it was finally his turn to get on the boat.
Li Yunbao put down the fan and sat back on the wheel, turned around and closed the car door, pulled up the reins and hurried forward.
When I came to the shore, I found that the official ferry was quite spacious, not a boat ferry as I thought, but two back and forth.
Rushing to the wide deck, Li Yunbao handed the wooden sign to the staff guarding here, and he successfully rushed onto the deck and entered the ferry.
But don't say that this official is official, this ferry boat is not known how many times larger than the private boat, can be placed side by side with two carts and horses, although there is only one floor, but this big boat can also pull twenty carriages and horses at a time!
Li Yunbao's mule cart was still at the front of the ship, and after waiting for a while, a shout came from behind: "Anchor!"
Then the boat began to slowly leave the shore, and the burly men on both sides of the boat began to row rhythmically.
Li Yunbao sat on the wheel, and the board of the boat where her donkey cart was docked was higher than that of the men who were rowing at the bottom, and Li Yunbao was sitting on the car, so she could clearly see the scenery on the river.
Looking at the clear river water, Li Yunbao had to sigh, or the ancient air, water and soil are good, there is no pollution at all, everything is pure and natural, it's really good!
When you really get to the boat, you actually cross the river very quickly, and the ferry will be set up in a place where the river is relatively narrow and the river is relatively gentle, so the kung fu boat with about two sticks of incense will arrive on the opposite bank.
After Li Yunbao waited for the deck in front of him to be set up, he slowly disembarked from the carriage in front of him.
Glancing back at the Yangtze River behind him, Li Yunbao turned around and opened the carriage door behind him, and then drove the donkey cart on the road again, continuing in the direction of south.
Because of the delay in crossing the river today, Li Yunbao had to hurry up, and finally found a big car shop to rest before it was dark.
After everything was settled, Li Yunbao took the children to the lobby of the big car shop to eat. I found a table to sit down, but Li Yunbao didn't see Xiao Er come up to ask, and he was about to say hello, but there was a discussion of several people at the table next door.
"Why did my brother only arrive today? According to previous years, shouldn't my brother have arrived at the place this time?" This is a man of short stature and a dark face.
At this time, a tall man who looked like a northerner replied angrily: "Hey, don't mention it, this time our caravan went down to the south of the Yangtze River to receive the goods, but I didn't think that there was less silk here than in previous years, not only did we not collect much silk this time, but even the road conditions along the way made the brothers suffer!"
"What do you mean by that?" The man who had asked him earlier was also interested, and he couldn't help but ask curiously when he complained so much.
"I don't know what is going on this year, it rains again and again in the south of the Yangtze River, the mulberry farmers have failed to harvest, and the silk farmers have suffered heavy losses, and finally collected some goods on the way back to catch up with the old time, either the mudslide or the torrential rain blocking the road, and the rain over there is even worse when I rushed back!"
When the man said this, he couldn't help but pat the table indignantly, indignant that he had run for nothing this year.
This short and thin man didn't know what he thought, and he also spoke out with infinite emotion: "This year's New Year is very bad, brother, you're afraid you don't know it yet, Jinan Mansion was a drought and locust plague everywhere before, brother, I ran north this year, and the goods were busy in Hejian Mansion, and I didn't dare to go south for fear of being robbed, alas, it's difficult!"
āā¦ā¦ā
Many of the people in the same lobby were listening intently to the conversation between the two people, and everyone was lost in thought when they heard them sigh quietly. Li Yunbao seems to think that most of the people in this room are caravans coming and going from the north to the south!
However, from their conversations, I learned that this year's Jinan Mansion is a drought and locust plague, and it is not easy to go to this Jianing Mansion!
"There will be a great flood after the great drought, and there will be a great flood after the great drought!"
I don't know who said such a sentence in the lobby, Li Yunbao sighed in his heart at the moment, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right? But then I thought about it again, it seems that in modern times, Huaguo is prone to floods in places with lots of water in the south of the Yangtze River in August and September every year!
But I don't know if this Great Holy Dynasty is the same, this Great Holy Dynasty is basically the same as the terrain of modern Huaguo, so Li Yunbao couldn't help but start worrying about the next road to take.
It seems that when she arrives in the town ahead, she will have to buy some rain-proof equipment, just in case.
