The waterway leading from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River has always been a busy and prosperous scene.

But at this time, the morning star had just hung up in the sky, and the sky had not yet brightened, and the wide river channel was no longer busy during the day, only the turbulent river kept flowing by, washing back and forth some old embankments, making a "whoo" and "whoa" sound.

In the sound of "whoa", a crisp baby cry sounded, startling the nocturnal birds in the reeds on the shore.

Listen carefully to this cry, it is not like an ordinary baby, and the crying will not stop endlessly. Instead, it stops after two or three cries, followed by giggles.

Listening carefully to this immature laughter, there are joys and sorrows, awakening and emotion, and a trace of open-mindedness is hidden in it.

It was such a short cry and special laughter that alarmed Song Han, who happened to be sleeping on the boat not far away.

After appeasing the half-asleep lady, Song Han got up and took a plain robe and put it on his shoulders, bowed his head and walked out of the cabin and walked up to the bow of the boat.

The boat boss took a step back and stood behind Song Han, and raised his eyes with Song Han to look in the direction where the laughter came from, but in the night, there was only a white river surging, and there was no trace of any baby, not even a passing boat.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the nights are cool, but they are not cool.

But the boat boss, who was a little scared, touched the goosebumps that burst on his body, and still felt that the cool breeze was blowing over his head, and said to Song Han who was still looking at him in a trembling voice: "My lord, could it be that we bumped into something dirty?" ”

Song Han, who smiled lightly, was noncommittal to the words of the boat boss, and smiled and wondered if there were really gods and monsters in this world, then why did he and his gentle and kind wife, who had always done good, have been married for many years and have not come out. So much so that in order to escape his father's order to divorce his wife and marry another, he gave up a comfortable and comfortable family life and entered Beijing to seek fame.

In this era of advocating "parents are here, don't travel far, and there must be a way to travel", only by being an official like him can his wife, who has been wronged in the clan, have a chance to breathe.

Song Han's non-committal and casual made the boat boss's originally somewhat frightened mood eased down a little, and when he listened to the laughter again, he lost his previous fear, and secretly looked at this Tanhualang who was immersed in his thoughts.

The same gorgeous clothes and the same well-maintained skin, but this Tanhualang, who is about to stand for the next year, is obviously different from other families, and is not the same as the high-spirited champion Lang. Song Han in front of him has a leisurely bearing and an easy-going temperament, which makes people who have come into contact with him inevitably have a good impression.

No, even if a shipwright like himself is vulgar, he can't give birth to half a disgust in the face of the family that he hated the most in the past. The boat boss secretly gave Song Han a full score in his heart, hoping that this approachable Tanhualang could become a good official who really "made decisions for the people" in the future.

After retracting his thoughts and inspecting for a while, the honest boat boss said to Song Han respectfully: "It's windy outside, your lordship should go back to the cabin to rest, maybe it's just a wild cat foraging, and the old man will go to catch up, so as not to quarrel with the lord and the lady." ”

After the boat boss finished speaking, he didn't care what Song Han was, spit in the palm of his hand, picked up a short oar by the side of the boat, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get off the boat to catch the cat.

Just as the boat boss turned around, Song Han, who had never stopped watching, grabbed the boat boss and said loudly, "Look at the old man, look at ......."

Looking in the direction that Song Han raised his finger, the boat boss couldn't help but let out an "ah" in surprise.

I saw an object floating on the river that was originally empty, and because the sky was still dark, I really couldn't see what it was, but it was certain that the previous cries and laughter came from that object.

"Old man...... Can you think of dragging that object over? Song Han turned to the boat boss and said softly.

Song Han's words of not being salty, not light, and not having back pain frightened the boat boss, and hurriedly waved his hand at Song Han and said: "I can't help it, who knows what is inside, in case it is ......" What about the ghost, the frightened boat boss didn't dare to say that word, and felt that it was not good for him to say such an unlucky thing when he went out, and it was even more inappropriate for the adult in front of him to rush to work.

Song Han naturally understood the old man's thoughts, and said that he was not afraid and bragging, but he really didn't want to let himself think of today's events in the future, what regrets did he have. I had to force myself to calm down and say to the old man: "Old man, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, maybe that object is filled with a baby, not the wild cat you said, old man." If we don't care about it now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in peace in our hearts when we think about it in the future. ”

Looking at Song Han's calm smile, the boat boss thought that this was reasonable, so he sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, if it's someone else's request today, the little old man will definitely refuse!" But if you speak, little old man will do it for you immediately. ”

"Huh...... In this way, Song thanked the old man here. Seeing that the boat boss found a long bamboo pole and went to the side of the boat to play with the object floating in the water, Song Han raised his hand to thank the boat boss.

As the object gradually approached the hull of the ship moored on the shore due to the change of current, the two of them realized that the object was actually a wooden box, and that the wooden box was actually a food box.

Looking at the size of the food box, it should not be difficult to hold a newborn baby.

Song Han, who saw the truth, unconsciously raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself, and said secretly, "This is the case in this world, some people worship Buddha and ask for children without success, but some people can be ruthless enough to abandon the baby born in Fang in order to survive, which is really a few joys and a few sorrows." If the food box is really a baby, it is God's eyes, and I am worried about whether I should adopt one or adopt one from the clan. ”

When the wooden box was brought close to the shore by the old boatman, the laughter in the box stopped abruptly, and such a strange thing made the terrifying atmosphere suddenly triumph.

Maybe it's because I'm too scared, and I don't know what I'm afraid of anymore.

The sweaty boat boss took a deep breath and walked off the boat, pulled up his trouser leg and flowed into the knee-high river, picked up the clothed food box, and put it in front of Song Han standing on the deck without looking, and asked Song Han to check what was inside.

The frightened appearance of the boat boss made the smiling Song Han shake his head unconsciously, squatted down, and stretched out his slender fingers to pick up the cloth covering the box.

The scene in the box added a little tenderness to Song Han's smile, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the boat boss who was bending over to straighten his trouser legs: "Old man, it seems that you have really done a great good deed today, and I am afraid that you will be blessed in the future." ”

Song Han's words made the boat boss, who had been beating the drum in his heart, think that he had found a treasure, and quickly clapped his hands, turned around and looked at the box.

It turned out that as Song Han had guessed before, what was in the box was a baby who had just been born, a baby with a red blood mole in the center of his forehead, a baby with smiling eyebrows, and a baby with snow-white fat hands.

The boat boss couldn't describe the cuteness of this baby in his own words, and only the words "ginseng doll" came to mind.

When the two of them looked at the "ginseng doll" in the box, the "ginseng doll" also looked at the two of them with big black and bright eyes, and when they saw the leisurely and outstanding Song Han, their pure eyes rose with joy, and after their eyebrows twitched slightly, they giggled again.
