The night slowly faded, the white mist on the Qituo River was thick, and although the season had entered the early spring, it was still very cold in the morning and evening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEspecially on the wide river, the cold wind is gently supporting, soaked in the damp mist, and the coolness is a little thicker.

Boatman Zhang Chuan got up early, wrapped in a thick layer of short brown on the outside of his robe, came to the stern, pulled up the anchor that he had dropped last night, and waited for the bow to slowly turn around, and then he could continue to move forward. Zhang Chuan arranged the anchor to the stern of the boat and put it away, and turned around the boat again, everything was normal, and he was about to enter the cabin, when he found out of the corner of his eye that there was a white thing floating on the river.

Turning around and taking a serious look, Zhang Chuan was shocked, he was actually climbing on a wooden board alone, looking at his stature, he seemed to be a child, his face was down, his hair was sticky on his head, and he couldn't see anything in the mess.

Zhang Chuan shouted, and a young man came out of the cabin, "Ah Zhuang, look over there, is it a person?" ”

The man called Ah Zhuang, following Zhang Chuan's hope, also saw the white figure lying on the wooden board, "Well, maybe it's still a child?" ”

"I don't know if I'm still alive." Zhang Chuan muttered and walked up to the second floor of the cabin. The ship was not large, and was divided into two levels, the lower one with the cabins, which were mainly for the boatmen and the men to rest, as well as the storehouse and galley. The second floor is better than the first floor, but there are only two rooms on the second floor, the room on the left is larger and is a suite, and the room on the right is smaller and only a single room.

Zhang Chuan walked to the door of the room on the left, knocked lightly, and after a while, the door opened gently, and a young man in his twenties came out. The young man's name is Shunzi, who is the employer's entourage, and Shunzi lowered his voice and said: "What is so anxious, the master has not slept well, and you woke up the master, can you take responsibility?" ”

Zhang Chuan didn't dare to be contemptuous, and hurriedly said: "It's a lot of offense to disturb the little brother so early, but there is one thing, the villain is inconvenient to call the shots, so I came here to ask for advice." ”

Zhang Chuan is also helpless, like them begging for a living on the water, there are many people who have fallen into the water, but now after all, they are hired, and if they find people who have fallen into the water around the boat, they naturally have to tell the master's family. Although I didn't see anything to do with the Lord's family and other people on this trip, according to the rules, I still have to wait for the Lord's family to deal with it.

Zhang Chuan continued: "That's the case, when we got up and packed up and were about to move on, we found a person floating in the water, so we came to tell you. ”

When Shunzi heard this, he was also stunned, "Is there someone in the water?" What is the situation, you carefully talk about it. ”

Zhang Chuan stretched out his finger and said, "Just now, we saw a person crawling on a wooden plank about five or six zhang away, with his face down, motionless, I don't know what happened. ”

Junko was about to speak, when he heard an old man's voice from the house, "Junko, let them lean over the boat and take a closer look." ”

"Yes, sir." Junzi replied respectfully, and then walked downstairs with Zhang Chuan.

The boat slowly approached, and Junko looked carefully on the boat and asked Zhang Chuan, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Chuan replied truthfully: "It's hard to say, even if you live, I'm afraid it's ......" Freezing in such a cold river may not be able to save life.

Junzi understood the situation, turned around and came to the main house on the second floor, while reporting the situation, while helping the old man take care of his clothes, "Master, that person is wearing a white undershirt and climbing on a wooden plank, the situation may not be very good, depending on the size, he may still be an eleven or twelve-year-old child." ”

The old man turned around and said slowly: "As doctors, it is fundamental for us to treat diseases and save people, so let them fish it up and take a look." ”

The old man took Shunzi down to the first floor, Zhang Chuan asked people to let a small leaf boat into the water, and two boatmen jumped in, rowed to the man's side, and slowly dragged the person in the water to row towards the big boat. When they came to the side of the boat, the people on the boat lowered the rope, and the two boatmen below tied the rope around the waist of the man in the water, and after remembering it, the people on the boat pulled it up together.

The man was dragged up and placed on the deck. White light silk soft brocade, there is a dark moire, close to see the moire in the slight flashing brilliance, cuffs, the edge of the garment are embroidered with gold thread, there is a belt of the same color around the waist, the belt is cumbersome gold thread embroidery.

The people on the boat, except for the old man, were all from poor backgrounds, and they were all stunned by the clothes.

Junko is wandering in the dark: Who still wears a belt at home? The nobles are famous, and they wear such good undershirts and belts.

Seeing the material of the clothes, the old man was also taken aback, the material, he had only seen it once when he was a child, and it was when his grandfather was a royal doctor in the previous dynasty, and he was rewarded for the treatment of the favored lady in the palace.

With bare feet, I don't know if it's frozen, the surface of the feet is white, but it may be that they have been soaked in water for too long, and they have thick folds. Pull away the unkempt hair, revealing a miserable white face, the complexion is so bad that the facial features can hardly see any color.

Zhang Chuan put his hand in front of the man's nose and tried it, there seemed to be a faint breath, the old man stepped forward and gently buckled it on the man's wrist, and after a while, he opened his eyelids and looked at it, and his brows were almost invisibly wrinkled. Then he ordered to place the person in the room on the right side of the second floor, and take good care of the kitchen lady Wen Sijia.

After processing, Zhang Chuan beckoned the boatman to slowly adjust the bow of the boat and continue to move forward.

Shunzi followed the old man back to the room, spread the paper and polished the ink, and the old man took a pen and wrote down a pharmacy: "After catching it, hand it over to the Wen Si family, let her make soup, don't say much, bathe the little brother first, freshen up and clean up." ”

"Yes." Junzi took the pharmacy to the warehouse to dispense medicine, and the old man took a pen and wrote a pharmacy. After a while, Shunzi came back, and the old man pointed to the pharmacy on the table and said, "I have all this and handed it over to the Wen family, three times a day, tell her to take good care of that little brother, and report it at any time if there is any situation." ”

"Yes." Junko hurriedly went down to arrange it again. The old man stood in front of the window, looking out of the window as if thoughtful, then shook his head, closed the window, walked slowly to the table, picked up a book and read it.

After a while, there was another knock on the door, and the old man put down his book, "Come in." ”

Pushing open the door, an old woman in a coarse cloth came in, "Master Qiqi, when the old slave was grooming the little brother, he found that it was a girl. ”

"Oh," the old man's face was calm, and his tone was gentle, "don't let anyone know about this matter, let's call her little brother, you must be careful, if you leak any rumors, be careful of your head!" ”

Wen Sijia was frightened, the old man has always been kind, how could he say such a thing? But if you think about it, she understands, just by looking at the clothes, she knows that she was born into a rich family, and if her reputation is damaged, this saving people will become revenge.

"Yes!" Wen Sijia said respectfully.

The old man saw that the Wen family listened, and then said: "In the future, you will take care of this girl, and if there is any situation, you can report it at any time." Go to Shunzi again, put the clothes you bought this time that are suitable for this little brother to wear, adjust the two good ones, and change them for her first. (To be continued.) )
