Chapter 159: The Ferry
There are many ships from Jiangzhou to Jiangningfu, some small and some large. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They carefully calculated that the trip would take about ten days to spend on the ship, and if they rented a small boat, they would have to worry about the risk of capsizing, but when they got on the big boat, they would have to be in the same boat with others.
After much deliberation, they chose a medium-sized ship and boarded the passenger ship, which was two levels above and below.
Gao Yang went to the owner of the ship, and inevitably made up a little silver and arranged them to the cabin upstairs, so that there was less trouble.
After putting the baggage and medicinal herbs in the cabin, they went to the deck together.
They got on the boat early, and the boat was still docked at the ferry, and there were not many people on board, and naturally there were not many people on deck.
Jiangzhou was called Xunyang in ancient times, Jiangzhou was placed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and after many divisions, the jurisdiction gradually became smaller, but Jiangzhou became more and more famous.
Jiangzhou Xiangjiang Lake, the throat of the Yangtze River, and the mouth of the three rivers, the reputation of the thoroughfare of seven provinces, and is one of the three major tea markets and the four major rice markets, which can be called the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
If it weren't for the sudden presence of masked men who came to kill Su Zhao, they would definitely have lived in Jiangzhou for a while, but for the sake of now, they could only take a boat along the river to the northwest and arrive at their planned destination in advance.
"Jiangzhou really deserves to be the most eye-brow place in the world." Gao Yang stood on the deck, looking into the distance, this river is magnificent, as if the sky and water meet, there are boats to the distance, quite a straight to the clouds and sails to the sea.
Su Fu on the side nodded almost invisibly, the scene of this ferry was in full view, and she sighed inexplicably in her heart, the world is so big, what she has seen and the road she has traveled is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jiangzhou here extends in all directions, only this ferry, the people who come and go from the south to the north are very numerous, in this regard, if you stay here, how can you still suffer from war and cold, and suffer from hunger and cold?
It's just that there are few places like this place in this world.
Su Zhao stood aside, not caring too much about the water on this day, but silently looked at Su Fu on the side, quite remorseful, "Sister, if it weren't for me, I would definitely be able to stay here for a few more days." ”
Su Fu came back to his senses, looked at the pale young man in front of him, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhao, don't think too much, take care of your injuries, one day, we will come back." ”
Seeing that she was not forced to smile, Su Zhao's heart was slightly relieved, and he nodded heavily, "It will definitely be." ”
Su Zhao's injuries will be healed, and it is not suitable to move too much, and because of the daily medication, he specially let Hongying go to the shipowner and borrow a stove in the cabin.
Of course, it took a lot of money not only to make this stove, but also to spend a lot of silver.
The money spent in Changle Mansion is not enough, but when I go out of the door, I see that this silver money is flowing like flowing water.
After the boat owner told him to extinguish the stove when he was not using it many times, and not to go out of the water, Hongying asked for the stove from the boat owner.
They had only been standing here for a quarter of an hour, but there were more people on the deck, and the first to come were two young gentlemen, who wrote poems on the surging ferry, with a sour smell all over their bodies, the kind of scholars who were not very good at writing, but who felt superior to others.
After that, there were old men and wealthy businessmen.
Fang Cai still felt that the deck was extraordinarily quiet, not only bustling at the moment, but also gossip lingering in his ears.
It's like getting on a boat, and this deck is the best place to see.
Su Fu couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice, "Go back!" ”
They passed by the deck, their tall posture was very distinguishable among the crowd, and inexplicably attracted a few followers, and after they got off the deck, those followers completely disappeared.
Although there were many people on the deck, there were fewer people in the aisle at this time, which was just right for them to get to the cabin.
When they came, they passed by the place where they were embarked, and naturally they could not go beyond that place when they left.
It's just that when she arrived at the hatch, before she could react, her feet were pounced on and she looked up, but she saw that it was a teenage girl, and the coarse cloth clothes exposed in everyone's sight had been patched several times.
"Help me, help me." The little girl raised her face, her white little face was full of tears, and her expression was very panicked.
"You girl, why are you sick again? Don't hold on to this Langjun. As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man who was thin and dry, about forty years old, stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's shoulders and wanted to drag the little girl overboard.
But this girl hugged her ankle hard, bit her lip stubbornly, and didn't want to let go.
The action and conversation were basically completed in an instant, and by the time they reacted, it was already the situation in front of them.
Seeing the middle-aged man pulling hard, she felt a little irritated in her heart, reached out and pressed her eyebrows, and sighed, "Let go." ”
The middle-aged man didn't want to make any big noise, so after she drank it, he immediately let go of his hand and laughed ashamedly, "This Lang Jun, this girl in our family, after drowning last year, she was often delirious, and she always felt that someone was trying to harm her, so she would rush into Lang Jun, please don't blame Lang Jun." ”
The little girl's face was even more flustered, and she quickly raised her head and cried and shouted, "He's going to sell me, save me." ”
"What are you talking about, come here, this Lang Jun is going to be angry." The middle-aged man smiled and scolded the girl angrily, and his tone was almost fierce.
The girl gritted her teeth and made up her mind not to let go.
Su Fu knew that if this girl didn't let go, it would be extremely difficult for her to pull her foot out of this girl's hand.
Hongying on the side saw that this girl was messing around, so she said, "The maid is here." ”
She knew what Hongying meant, and she was ready to pull the girl away, and said slowly, the blindfolded eyes glanced at the people on the shore, and the people who really wanted to get on the boat were in a hurry, but the other people were standing at the ferry to watch the excitement, but a few of them were impatient, as if they had seen it many times and had no interest.
Among these people, several of them are Lifu, who have been doing some hard work to move goods at the ferry for a long time, and one is an old man who sells candy at the ferry to attract children.
They had been at the ferry for a long time, and this expression only showed that they had seen a lot of such things, and they were no stranger to it.
Regardless of whether what they saw was the "father and daughter" in front of them, the current situation was really weird.
Thinking of this, she seemed to be extremely difficult, "I don't know what kind of disease the little lady gets?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask about this disease, so he opened his mouth and came, "Crazy heartbreak, crazy heartbreak." ”
The so-called crazy mind is a person who has lost his mind.
The two sentences that this girl said were confusing, and they would be so misleading.
She reached out and stroked her forehead, and this time she was probably going to make an exception again.
She looked down and saw that the hands that had clasped her legs had now shaken into a sieve, and she could break free from the encirclement with a single struggle.
However, she did not do so. (To be continued.) )
