Chapter Ninety-Three: The Surge
It was just as the boatman had said, but after a while, the rain stopped, and the boatman set sail with a loud voice.
Fang Ping saw that Lin Yuan didn't enter the cabin but leaned on the railing, looking at the water and didn't know what he was thinking, he stepped forward and persuaded him, "Miss don't worry, the master has calculated the date and asked someone to pick you up at the dock, even if it is delayed for a few days, it doesn't matter." ”
"I know." Lin Yuan bent the corners of her mouth, her smile couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes, she wasn't worried about the schedule......
"Where's Mrs. Feng?" She asked, looking around.
Xianglan pursed the corners of her lips and muttered, "Who knows, I said that I came to pick up Miss, and I can't see anyone." ”
Fang Ping took over, "It was said that she was a little seasick, so the little one let her into the cabin and lay down, so that her son could also serve on the side." "Why didn't he know that Lin Yuan didn't like to see Mrs. Feng's mother and son?
Lin Yuan bowed her head, but she was still a little anxious, but it was inconvenient to say to Fang Ping, so she just said hello and led Xianglan back to her cabin.
"Mama Joe." As soon as she entered the cabin, she pushed Qiao Yihuan, who was lying down and resting.
Qiao Yihuan didn't open her eyes, and replied, "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”
"Mama Qiao, I always feel a little worried, can you go and watch Mrs. Feng?" Lin Yuan didn't care either, and said directly.
Qiao Yihuan opened his eyes and nodded in a deep voice, "I don't think she will do anything during the day, I will keep an eye on her at night." ”
Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, but still didn't feel at ease and said, "Then let's do it, I'll let Fang Ping watch it during the day, and you will be in charge of the night, okay?" ”
Qiao Yihuan can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves with Lin Yuan, she has seen Xiangyue's death with her own eyes, and she has also seen Lin Yuan splashed with blood all over her body, but if she wants to say that Feng Pozi will do something, she really doesn't believe it.
Qiao Yihuan raised her eyebrows, but when she saw Lin Yuan's tightly knit brows, she nodded as if she was spoiling a little girl.
When Lin Yuan went to talk to Fang Ping, Fang Ping also thought the same way in his heart, just like Qiao Yihuan, although he didn't think so, he also responded in one bite.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, she only felt that the old lady deliberately found Mrs. Feng to come back, and specially asked Mrs. Feng to come and pick her up, it was definitely not so simple to disgust her.
It was night, and it was raining again, but fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the boat was still moving.
Lin Yuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, a little difficult to sleep.
"Miss, can't you sleep?" Xianghe's soft voice came.
Lin Yuan nodded subconsciously, and then thought that the cabin was not as good as at home, there was no light at all, it was dark, and where could Xianghe be seen, so he said, "Well, why haven't you slept?" ”
Xianghe chuckled, "The slave sleeps all day, and she doesn't have to keep vigil at night like Mama Qiao, where can she sleep?" ”
"Are you feeling better? If you don't get seasick, talk to me for a while. Lin Yuan simply sat up.
"It's much better, I walked around the ground today, and I'm not so dizzy, miss, do you want to hold the lamp?"
"No, let Xianglan sleep well." The sound of pandan's shallow breathing was particularly clear in the quiet cabin.
"Miss, Xianglan told the slave maid, are you worried about what Mrs. Feng will do?" Xianghe also sat up and asked softly.
Lin Yuan was stunned, but couldn't answer, "I don't know, if you want to say that it will kill me, I'm afraid Mrs. Feng doesn't have the guts, but if you want to say that she just came to pick me up, I really don't believe it." ”
Xianghe was silent for a moment, "Miss is still relaxed, with Mama Qiao and Fang Ping watching, Mrs. Feng can't make any waves." "The old lady shouldn't dare to let Mrs. Feng do anything under Fang Ping's nose.
"That's right." Lin Yuan couldn't be careful.
But suddenly, the hatch was pushed open, and a dazzling light shone into the cabin. Lin Yuan subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, only to feel that a person walked in front of her like the wind.
"Miss, this ship is sinking!" Qiao Yihuan panted and said urgently.
Lin Yuan gradually adapted to the light, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qiao Yihuan with a cold face, and she didn't react for a while, she asked, "Mama Qiao, what did you say?" ”
"This ship is sinking!"
What the?!
Lin Yuan's heart jumped violently, "What's the matter?" She listened intently, and heard the sound of footsteps and commotion gradually outside the door.
"Was it Mrs. Feng who set the fire?" She asked without questioning, "How dare she?" Is she dying? "The ship sank, and Mrs. Feng's mother and son couldn't escape!
"She set the fire, and she chiseled through the bottom of the boat. There were people behind our boat who picked them up, and Mrs. Feng's son had already run away, and I only caught Mrs. Feng alone. Qiao Yihuan, who has always been calm and indifferent, showed a flustered look for the first time, "What now?" There is only one small wooden boat on this ship, and there are not enough crew members on board, so I'm afraid we ......."
Lin Yuan's heart beat faster and faster, she tried to calm herself down, and kept telling herself that she was an adult, not a child.
After taking a deep breath, she asked in a trembling voice, "Can the chiseled place still be filled?" Isn't it raining right now? Can't the fire be extinguished? ”
Bitterness flashed in Qiao Yihuan's eyes, and he shook his head with difficulty, "That hole is too big to be filled, and the fire is also poured with oil, and it can't be extinguished." "It's all her to blame, it's all to blame for her taking it lightly, not listening to Lin Yuan's words, and staring at Mrs. Feng.
"Xianghe Xianglan, put on your clothes, let's go out first." Since there was no hope, Lin Yuan was no longer entangled, and jumped up from the bed immediately, and put on his clothes while talking.
She doesn't want to die, at least now that she has family affection, she doesn't want to die again!
Qiao Yihuan looked out of the door from time to time, the fire was already bright outside, and her heart only swelled with a burst of despair.
And Xianglan couldn't help crying.
Lin Yuan didn't have time to comfort her, so she only quickly grabbed the package containing the silver taels and opened it, "Quick, grab a handful of each person, stuff it into their clothes, and go back to Jinling by themselves in case they get lost." ”
"And the pastries on the table, hurry up." Lin Yuan shouted loudly, because the shouting outside was getting louder and louder.
Xianghe was also afraid, she was already seasick, she felt that the whole cabin was rotating, she bit the tip of her tongue hard, and did what Lin Yuan told without a sound, seeing that Xianglan was still crying, she stuffed the silver and pastries into her body.
"Let's go." Lin Yuan faced out of the door, her whole white and tender little face was red by the skyrocketing fire, she turned her head and said firmly, "We won't die, this is the river, not the sea, remember to try to go up as much as possible if you can get on that small wooden boat, if you can't go up, just hold on to a piece of driftwood, no matter what, you can't let go." ”
"You must remember to live desperately."
Xianghe seemed to have a backbone, and although she was still afraid, she nodded with red eyes.
But Xianglan choked up and couldn't help herself.
Lin Yuan frowned, and without hesitation, she reached out and slapped Xianglan in the face, "What's the use of crying?" Didn't you say that you would still be my daughter-in-law? ”
After saying a word, Lin Yuan didn't dare to delay any longer, and nodded towards Qiao Yihuan, "Mama Qiao, please ask you." ”
Then, she grabbed Qiao Yihuan's clothes tightly with one hand, and dragged Xianghe tightly with the other, and ran out of the cabin.
