Qu was slightly drunk, and was helped out of the restaurant by He's, sobered up by the wind, and asked Li Laoshi how much money he spent.

Li replied with a smile: "Mother, I shared two cents and five silver coins." ”

The people in Qujia Village grow rice, vegetables, and some also raise pigs, fish, and chickens.

Two cents and five silver coins are two hundred and fifty copper plates, which is equivalent to the expenses of ordinary people in Qujia Village for several months.

Qu nodded and said, "It's more expensive, but the dog meat pot is really delicious." ”

He said softly: "It's not expensive. It's good that my mother is happy to eat. ”

In the dark night, Qu held He's hand tightly, and the two supported each other like mother and daughter, and walked back to the inn.

At dawn the next day, Qu woke up. Li Jingjing only stayed in the Aphrodisiac Mansion for an hour at night before coming out, sleeping soundly.

Qu got dressed and went to wake up his family, and finally woke up Li Jingjing. The Li family ate a broth rice noodle breakfast at the inn, took the package and settled the bill, and went to the dock outside the county seat.

Liuyang County to Tanzhou is about 130 miles away from the official road, there is no donkey cart to hire, you can only hire a carriage, it costs eight cents of silver, the Li family has a total of nine people, a carriage is too crowded.

If you take the waterway, the medium cabin of the passenger ship only costs two cents and seven silver coins, and it is spacious and can also enjoy the river view.

The winter morning sun shines on the quiet and clear surface of the Liuyang River, and more than 20 passenger boats, cargo ships, and fishing boats are moored along the river.

There are people coming and going on the wharf, carrying baskets full of men who have just caught river fish at night, hawkers pushing wheelbarrows to sell food, fat passengers who hold the thin men who have not woken up to catch the boat, and young men who are tired and panting from unloading heavy objects from the boat, noisy and lively, all of which attract Li Quai's illness and dragon and phoenix fetus.

Li Yunxiao pointed to the three-story passenger boat parked with a sedan chair, and exclaimed excitedly: "Grandma, I want to take that big boat, I want to see the bride!" ”

Qu immediately asked Li Laoshi to go to the big passenger ship to ask, it turned out that the ship did not go directly to Tanzhou, and had to dock at three small wharves for a quarter of an hour to pull people down, and then pull people, and only 25 copper coins were charged for one person in the middle cabin, which was five copper coins cheaper than the passenger ship that went directly to Tanzhou, and only 30 copper coins for one person in the upper class.

Qu couldn't wait to get to Tanzhou immediately, but he couldn't help Li Yunxiao's trouble, so he almost rolled on the muddy ground of the dock, and the only thing he could do was to follow him.

The Li family got on the boat, and Li honestly paid for the boat, and a boatman led them to the third floor, with a spacious window for hot tea and a stove to roast their hands.

After a while, the joyful bride in a red dress with a red hood was helped in by a middle-aged woman wearing a new iron-embroidered red midi coat, followed by a middle-aged man, a young man, and a thin girl of four or five years old.

A few people sat down and talked, listening to the tone, the bride was married to a wealthy family on the outskirts of Tanzhou.

The middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man are the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the bride, and the young man is her second brother. She was the only son of a young man.

There were more than 30 people who sent relatives and the sedan chair driver, and in order to save money, the rest of the people sat in the middle cabin.

The big passenger boat opened, and Li Yunxiao stood by the railing at the bow of the boat and looked at the rushing river under the boat, clapping his hands excitedly and shouting and jumping.

He was afraid that the wind on the bow of the boat would blow Li Yunxiao, so he asked Li Yunqing to carry him in.

Li Yunxiao is willing to sit in the cabin as honestly as Li Jingjing, and he has to go outside to see the river view.

He shouted, "You are not allowed to go." In case of water, the people who save you on a cold day will have to fall into the root of rheumatism. ”

It was useless for Li Yunxiao to cry, and He had a tough attitude to leave him in the cabin.

The bride's little nephew had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, gloated at Li Yunxiao and grimaced, ran out of the cabin to the bow of the boat for a while, got off the middle cabin for a while, and took out a big red orange in his pocket to gluttonous him.

Li Yunxiao turned his head away angrily, rolled his eyes, and said to Li Jingjing: "Sister, last night's dog meat pot was so delicious, I ate five pieces of dog meat and drank dog broth." ”

Li Jingjing said cooperatively: "Yes." The dog meat pot is spicy and fragrant, and it is a hundred times better than pork. ”

The bride's little nephew swallowed his saliva obviously, pulled the young man's sleeve and asked, "Dad, is there a dog meat pot at this wedding banquet?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "No." ”

The little guy immediately ran to the bride and shook her hand and said, "Auntie, I want to eat dog meat pot, you ask my brother-in-law to eat it for me at the wedding banquet." ”

The middle-aged woman on the side came over and hugged the little guy away, and comforted: "Shan Yanzi, dog meat is not allowed on the table, if you want to eat dog meat, the eldest aunt will go back and make it for you." ”

The little guy saw that his aunt, who had always loved him very much, ignored him, and said angrily: "My aunt doesn't like me when she marries her brother-in-law." I don't want my aunt to marry my brother-in-law. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The young man went over and slapped the little guy on the buttocks.

The little guy had never been beaten, and ran out of the upper class cabin crying, just as an old couple came up from the middle class cabin to see the river from a high view, and the little one crashed into the old man, and the big orange in his pocket fell to the ground and rolled to the bow of the boat.

The little guy has been reluctant to eat this big orange, and he wants to wait for noon to share it with his aunt, so he hurriedly chases after it.

The big orange rolled to the railing of the bow of the boat and stopped, the little guy squatted down and stretched out his hand to take it, it was very coincidental that a medium-sized passenger boat drove over the big passenger boat, the river was in waves, the big passenger boat shook left and right a few times, the wooden plank under his feet had ice, and he suddenly slipped sideways from between the wooden railings, and fell into the river with a plop.

The old man directly took off his long jacket and pants and jumped into the river to save people, and the old woman shouted loudly: "The little man has fallen into the water, the boat will stop quickly!" ”

The young man looked around, saw that his son was gone, and cried out in disbelief, "Mountain boy? Then he jumped out of the cabin and threw himself into the river.

The bride violently lifted the red hijab, revealing a beautiful face with rouge and red lips full of youthful atmosphere. She cried out in a hurry and ran out of the upper class cabin with her family.

When the Li family went out to take a look, except for the little one's father, five men jumped into the cold river to save people.

Li Jingjing applauded the simple and kind people of Liuyang County who sacrificed themselves to save people.

The boatman hurriedly stopped the boat, and the young man and a young man of the boatman rescued the little guy who was spitting river water in his mouth, and the other four men who rescued people climbed onto the boat one after another, and their faces were blue and shivering from the cold, and they could not say a word.

The crowd shouted with concern: "Quickly let them change into dry clothes and put wine on their bodies to get rid of the cold!" ”

The old man of the boat brought over a jar of wine and asked the six men to take turns to drink a few sips.

The middle-aged woman of the boat's family hurriedly ran over to discuss with Qu's family, and vacated the upper class cabin for six men and one child to go in to change their clothes and keep warm by the fire.

Qu nodded without hesitation. The Li family carried all the baggage to the middle cabin, vacated the upper class cabin with a stove, and sent Li Yunxiao's dry change of clothes to the little guy to wear.

Half an hour later, the little guy's forehead was frighteningly hot, his face was flushed, his lips were purple, and his breath was weak, and he couldn't make a sound no matter how his family screamed.

The young man was so anxious that he wept and told the boatman to hurry to the shore, and he wanted to take the little one to seek medical treatment.

The old man of the boat family pointed to the vast wilderness on both sides of the strait, frowned and said: "There is no village here, there is a Huai village eight miles ahead, and fifteen miles ahead is the wharf of Lujia Town. There is still five miles of road from the wharf to Lujia Town. ”

When the young man heard that Lujia Town was twenty miles away by land and water, he was so anxious that he burst into tears.

The old man of the boat family continued: "If the boat turns around and returns, it will be eighteen miles away from the Douzhen Wharf where it was anchored just now, and it will take seven miles from the wharf to Douzhen. ”

The middle-aged woman of the ship's family said to the young man, "You go with me to the cabin and ask if there is a doctor in the cabin." ”
