Chapter 119: Saving People on the River

"Do you know how to divination?" Xia Mingming looked at the three copper coins that Yu Shu threw on the table with a look of surprise.

Yu Shu's eyelids twitched, and he tilted his head to look at her in confusion: "What did you say?" What are the six wants? ”

"Liuyao, aren't you divination?" Xia Mingming pointed to the copper coins on the table and looked at her with some expectation.

Yu Shu shook his head and said, "I'm playing with it, how can I still do divination like this?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Mingming's expression immediately became disappointed, he glanced at her angrily, didn't answer her words, and lowered his head to think about things.

Yu Shuchong looked up at her Yu Xiaoxiu and put his index finger on his lips, Yu Xiaoxiu nodded knowingly, their current identity is Xingqi's nephew, and they are far away from Beijing, so it is best not to have anything suspicious.

Yu Shu put away the copper plate, and looked at Xia Mingming, who was quietly observing and dozing off for a while, suspicion flashed in his eyes, the six yao method taught to her by Qing Zheng was an easy learning that only a very small number of easy customers had the opportunity to come into contact with, how could Xia Mingming see it?

couldn't think of it, Yu Shu put away his curiosity, took out a booklet for calculus, an abacus, and a willow core charcoal pen that Pei Jing found someone to burn for her, and put it on his lap to write and calculate.

Because I left home in Yiyang City, on the way, the barometer I made before leaving was useless, and every time I went to a place, Yu Shu had to recalculate it to be accurate, which was the rain in the east and the west, and it was different in different places.

The caravan traveled for about an hour per trip, and when they saw the Yi Pavilion and the tea shed, they would stop to rest their feet, pad their stomachs, and rush to the next town before dark.

After another three days, the caravan arrived at the mouth of the river and prepared to change to a waterway.

Yu Shu had inquired with Bi Qing about the distance two days earlier, and knew that they were going to take a boat for a few days in the middle of their trip, but Xia Mingming had just found out, and was called to get out of the car, and when he saw the two boats docked on the riverbank, his face changed, and he went to find Bi Qing angrily.

Yu Shu has experienced too many firsts in the past few days, the first time he stayed in an inn, the first time he sat at a tea stall, the first time he ate dry food in a carriage, the first time he squatted behind a tree to relieve his head, and this was the first time he saw an ancient ship, not a small boat at the mouth of a small river in the city, nor a painting boat swimming in the lake, but a two-story ship, with a tall mast and huge sails, and a long pulp hanging on a brownish wooden hull, and several sturdy sailors were standing on the deck and gesturing to the bow.

Yu Shu followed the caravan to the bank of the river, looked up for a long time, and thought that the boat was still quite sturdy, so he pulled Yu Xiaoxiu and carefully got on the boat from the paving-

According to her calculations, there is a rain tonight, the further north the direction, the heavier the rain, in that kind of weather, the small boat can not sail at all, the big ship is fine, she asked Bi Qing tentatively yesterday, Bi Qing is very confident to tell her that their cargo ship is built by the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, even in the event of a rainstorm, it can land safely.

Yu Shu didn't believe Bi Qing before getting on the boat, he believed in his own divination, her eight characters didn't work, but Yu Xiaoxiu's eight characters didn't have a problem, using the time of disaster to calculate, Yu Xiaoxiu would be safe and sound on the way, then she would walk with him, and the adults would be safe

No matter how unhappy Xia Mingming was, she still got on the boat with Yu Shu and them. Most of the goods were placed on the bottom floor of the cabin, and there were seven or eight rooms on the ship's floor, Yu Shu picked the middle one as usual, and Xia Mingming picked the largest one as usual, and made the next door to them.

After tidying up for a morning, waiting for the boat to set sail, it was past noon, the sun was still hanging in the sky, and there was no sign of rain clearly, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu lay on the window of the houseboat, looking out, looking at the wide river flowing, and the scenery on the river bank retreating with the boat.

After playing for a while, Yu Xiaoxiu suddenly began to feel uncomfortable: "Sister, why am I dizzy?" ”

"Is it disgusting?" Yu Shu worriedly reached out to support him and touched his forehead, afraid that she would be seasick.

Yu Xiaoxiu nodded: "There are some." ”

"Then don't look at it, go to the bed and lie down," Yu Shu helped him to sit down on the bed, told him to take off his coat and lie down, poured a glass of water and came back, seeing his uncomfortable look, he sat down in the bed, let him pilllow on his lap, and rubbed his forehead.

Yu Shu is very good at massage, all of which were practiced after Yu Lei was paralyzed, and after a while, Yu Xiaoxiu hummed, not to mention dizziness.

Yu Shu went out to find Bi Qing, asked for a seasickness pill, mixed it with water and gave it to Yu Xiaoxiu to drink, and watched him sleep. In the afternoon, the two of them stayed in the cabin, and in the evening, Bi Qing called them to go downstairs for wine and dinner, Yu Shu said that Yu Xiaoxiu was uncomfortable, and asked the boatman to deliver the food to the room.

After dinner, there was a muffled thunder, and suddenly it rained, and a gust of wind blew the oil lamp flickering, Yu Shu closed both windows, and someone shouted a few words outside, and some riotous footsteps sounded in the corridor.

"Boom-" There was another thunderclap, which startled Yu Shudu, and the hull of the ship shook a few times.

Yu Xiaoxiu sat up from the bed with some uneasiness, "Sister? ”

"Don't be afraid," Yu Shu went over and sat down beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It rains a lot on the river, go to sleep." ”

"I can't sleep." Yu Xiaoxiu fell asleep seasick for an afternoon, he was not a little sleepy at this time, and when he took the boat for the first time, he heard the sound of rain outside, and he was inevitably a little scared, and he couldn't sleep.

Yu Shu knew that he was scared, so he pulled him up and pushed him to the table with a smile: "I can't sleep, then let's play for a while." ”

I found a pen and paper, drew a nine-square grid on the paper, filled in a few numbers, and pushed it in front of him, "Oh, don't you know how to count, you also recognize the nine-square grid, so that the horizontal and vertical add up to fifteen, from one to nine, a number can only be used once, you fill in these blanks." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu took the charcoal, glanced at the grid on the paper, and barely had time to think about it, so he brushed and filled it in.

Yu Shu was happy when he saw it: "Yes, it's quite fast." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu said disapprerovingly: "Is it so easy to use it?" ”

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, "Simple? That's not easy for you. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up a piece of paper again, drew nine parallel nine-square grids on it, eighty-one blanks, filled in thirty prompt numbers, and made a Sudoku diagram, leaving the rest for Yu Xiaoxiu, and retelling the rules:

"You see, every vertical, every horizontal, every nine palaces, nine numbers can't be repeated, you can calculate it."

Yu Xiaoxiu took it over with great interest and looked at it, knowing that there was a problem, so he honestly thought about it and calculated, filling it in one by one, and was very devoted.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the window, making a "pop" sound, and the hull of the boat shook more and more, Yu Shu stood up, walked to the window, checked that there was no rain, and then returned to sit next to Yu Xiaoxiu and watch him count.

Yu Shu knew that Yu Xiaoxiu was smart and had some talent for mathematics, and one night, he came up with five Sudoku problems for him to do, and the number of prompts was reduced from thirty to twenty-five, all of which he cracked.

In the end, Yu Shu yawned first, and Yu Xiaoxiu went to bed before he finished sleeping, and before going to bed, he said to Yu Shu that he would give him a few questions to do tomorrow

The next morning, Yu Shu was woken up by a scream, who could make this kind of scream, except for Xia Mingming next door, the whole boat didn't think twice, she pinched the bridge of her nose and sat up from the bed, and glanced enviously at Yu Xiaoxiu, who was not disturbed at all, and slept soundly, got out of bed with her clothes on, poured a cup of tea, walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked out.

It was still raining outside, so it turned smaller, and the river was gently rippling, and she inadvertently lowered her gaze, and saw a small boat swaying pitifully next to the side of their big boat, and the man in the boat, his clothes were soaked with rain, and the red blood stains pierced people's eyes.

Stunned, her heart jumped violently, and she finally knew where the scream just now came from.

Someone on the deck had already discovered the boat, and a brave sailor jumped down with a rope to check whether the people on the boat were dead or alive, Bi Qing stood on the side of the boat and looked down, Yu Shu looked at his head and shook it, and he could clearly hear them talking:

"Boss, the man is still alive."

"Is there a weapon on board?"

"No, it looks like he's met a bandit."

"Pull it up."

As soon as Bi Qing gave the order, a boatman put down the rope, tied up the bloody man and pulled it up, Yu Shu could smell the faint blood floating in the rain, frowned, and closed the window.

Her eyelids jumped a few times for some reason, she felt in her sleeve pocket, found a copper coin, sat down at the table, calmed down, and threw a hexagram - empty.

Usually she uses the six lines to make empty hexagrams, and there are only two situations, one is that the matter asked has nothing to do with her, and the other is related to her but cannot be calculated.

Originally, when she encountered an empty hexagram, she would not forget it, but today she always felt that something was wrong, Yu Shu begged twice more uneasily, and the same empty hexagram made her inexplicably uneasy, and she vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with her.

Don't get into trouble with them anymore - no, she has to.

After a moment's hesitation, she got up and put on her clothes, quickly combed her hair, glanced at the effectiveness of the bed, and closed the door lightly.

From the second floor down to the first floor, in a cabin, there was a cold wind blowing on her face, she rubbed her arms, walked to the deck with her head down, and looked at the place where she had just fished out the people, but she didn't see Bi Qing, and there was no bloody man, only a blurred pool of blood was left on the ground, and she called a boatman passing by:

"Did you catch someone just now?"

It just so happened that this was the boatman who brought them food last night, recognized Yu Shu, and said:

"Yes, that person was seriously injured, I saw that he was slashed several times, fortunately I met our boat, Boss Bi asked someone to carry him in, and called Lang Zhong to watch, I don't know if Lu Dao can be saved."

Yu Shu was shocked again when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Which room did you send to?" ”

"The first floor is next to the room inside, and I advise you not to go to the excitementβ€”huh?"

Yu Shu didn't wait for the boatman to finish speaking, he turned around and went into the cabin, and found the innermost room. (To be continued,
