Chapter 127 The road is not very close
After the boat was opened, Chunyu and the others stood in the boat armor and kept waving goodbye to the people on the shore, until the boat was getting farther and farther away and gradually lost sight.
It's just that Chunyu feels uncomfortable in his heart, this is the first time he has gone out since coming here, and he just missed it when he was far away from his family.
She looked at her second sister Chun Tao and Zhang Zao'er again, but the two were not unhappy, but got together and didn't know what to say, and they were giggling during the period, which made Chunyu shake her head. It seems that the children are still simple in their hearts, and they can't hold things without pressure, maybe she is old in her heart! After all, she is a thirty-year-old young woman with the body of a fourteen-year-old girl!
Then Chunyu looked at Zhang Huzi, who had been silent, and found that he was looking at the river in a daze, and Chunyu did not disturb him. Instead, he looked at the two people who were rowing the boat, it was the owner's uncle and his son. This uncle's son is mute, but his ears are normal and can understand people's words, but it's a pity that he can't express it. And the dumb man is seventeen or eighteen this year, and the strong man rows a boat with his father to make a living. And the father and son cooperate very tacitly, and the boat is unhurried.
"Uncle, will we be able to get to the capital tonight?" Chunyu asked the uncle who was rowing, according to Zhou Xu'an's speed of shuttling back and forth between the capital and Moshan every time, Chunyu roughly guessed that it would take four or five hours, that is, about seven or eight hours.
But at this time it was already the middle of the day, and if it was four hours later, it would almost be dusk, and it was already late at that time, so it was really inconvenient to say so many things. Originally, Chunyu just thought that he didn't need Zhou Xu'an's help, but found a carriage to pull things and find an inn to settle down first, and spent a few days looking for a house. It's just that when it's dark, and you're still unfamiliar with life, what should you do!
Chunyu was very annoyed why she slept in the morning, if she could get up before sunrise and set off before eating, then when she arrived at the place, it would be the most fed, and the sky was still bright, enough for them to hire a car to go to the inn first.
"Haha, the girl is joking!" Who knew that the uncle's words shattered so many illusions of Chunyu.
"What's wrong? Is it going to be a little later? Do you have to wait until dusk to arrive? Chunyu hurriedly asked, just afraid to hear the uncle answer yes.
"Don't talk about tonight, it's nice to be there tomorrow evening." The uncle said with a smile again, but this smile was a little funny to Chunyu.
"What? No, uncle, I have a friend who always rushes back from the capital in less than four hours. Chunyu couldn't believe it, could it be that Zhou Xu'an lied to her?
"Four hours? That girl's friend is a great character! When the uncle heard this, he immediately said.
"What do you mean by that?" Chunyu doesn't understand a little, how can this uncle see it, is it just these four hours?
"Your friend must be in that big boat, and there must be ten rowers in it. And if there are capable characters, they can also take the royal route, that is, they go directly through the pass of Caoyun, instead of going around the islands of the two fishing villages, as we have to do. After the uncle finished speaking, he looked at Chunyu with some surprise, probably thinking that it was rare for her to have such a capable friend.
Chunyu also fell silent when he heard this, thinking that it was not easy for Zhou Xu'an to come back a few times. So I feel a little sweeter and touched in my heart.
I don't know how long it took for the boat to enter the Grand Canal, and along the way, I occasionally saw sails passing by, and seagulls boldly skimming the water in search of fish to eat. Seeing this spring rain, I can't help but sigh, the sky is blue and the water is clear, the white clouds are blooming, and the scenery is really good. And this seagull will occasionally fly by the sails, and you can see their black pearl-like eyes. And unlike in later generations, the seagulls were scared away by some uncivilized tourists who went on a trip, let alone flying around with the back of the boat now.
Besides, their ship sails sail and go with the wind during the day, but it is not too slow. It's just that when Chunyu and the others were hungry and used the food they were carrying, Chunyu saw the father and son who were rowing to eat, and saw that they were eating hard steamed buns, so he took their gimbap that still had some residual warmth for them to eat. The two of them were embarrassed at first, but then when they saw that the spring rain should be stuffed into their hands, they ate it only to find that it was a delicacy they had never eaten. This seaweed is a seaweed sheet that has been pressed and roasted in the spring rain, and it is used to make sushi, and the sesame rice is rolled with chicken tenders, egg rolls, cooked radish strips, etc., and the taste is naturally good. And she used a food box to wrap it in cotton cloth, but it tasted okay, not to mention that it didn't get cold and hard, and it was still soft.
After they had eaten, the father and son rowed together instead of changing shifts, and for a time the boat was not slow. But time passed quickly, and when the sun was setting, the boat happened to reach the island of a fishing village, so the uncle and father moored the boat there, and docked to rest.
It's just that Chunyu couldn't sleep for the time being, and remembered that she had brought bacon and sausages and some cooked pork belly, so she said that there would be a bonfire barbecue. These were still what her mother had to let her take and give to Zhou Xu'an, she didn't want to take them, but she couldn't stand her mother's enthusiasm, so she had to bring them. It's not useful now, and they also agree with Chun Tao and Jujube. So they took out the small barbecue stove that Chunyu had made first, and originally wanted to let the two fathers and sons together, but Chunyu thought that they would have to row a boat the next morning, so he canceled the idea. So a few people went to pick up some dead branches and weeds, lit a fire, set the stove on it, took out some of the meat they had brought from home, and ate the barbecue in a very atmospheric manner. It's a pity that there is no wine and only meat and nothing else, and only the honey osmanthus tea in a few big gourds is drunk, but these are not easy, and they will be forgotten.
When they had eaten and drunk, they all went back to their cabins, but there were only two rooms, and they were clean though they were clean. Zhang Huzi simply went to the deck to sleep with the father and son, and Chunyu asked Chun Tao to send him a sleeping bag, saving him from getting sick again, after all, it was quite cool at night when it was windy on the river.
When it was time to fall asleep, Chun Tao and Zao'er were so excited that they couldn't sleep for a long time. The two little girls lived in the same room, and they chattered until they fell asleep in the middle of the night. And Chunyu couldn't sleep at all, and slept next door to the two of them that was completely unsoundproofed, and couldn't sleep over and over again.
She suddenly thought about Zhou Xu'an, thinking that she would be able to see him in the future, and she no longer had to rely on correspondence, she could only meet once a month, thinking about it, she still had some small expectations in her heart at this time! Ay! I don't know what he's doing now, he should be asleep...... Chunyu thought about it and entered the dream, and she really dreamed of Zhou Xu'an in the dream, but she was sitting on a high tree and he stood on the tree with open arms, as if he wanted her to jump and he would catch her, so strange. In the dream, Chunyu still believed that he would catch him, so he jumped ......
It's just this leap, and before he had time to jump into Zhou Xu'an's arms, he opened his eyes and woke up. It was already daylight, and she saw light shining through the hatch. So she got up, glanced at the two people who were still sleeping next door, and did not wake them up, she gently pushed the hatch and walked out.
