Chapter 183: Selling his body to bury his father
Brother Zhou, wake up......"
"Sheng'er, let go, don't disturb Brother Zhou, he didn't sleep well last night when he was seasick!"
A small hand was very reluctantly taken away from Zhou Heng's neck, pursed his mouth, and nodded reluctantly for a while.
"Okay then, but what do you mean by seasickness?"
Zhou Heng shook his dizzy head, slowly opened his eyes, and was a little confused for a while, Dong'er saw that Zhou Heng was disturbed and woke up, and glared at Sheng Er, obviously blaming him for what he had just done.
Sheng Er pursed her lips, tears rolling in her eyes.
"People don't know what seasickness is, is it food or what does it mean? My sister didn't make it clear, so she knew that she was murdering me. ”
Dong'er glanced at him, "You shut up for me, seasickness is sick, Brother Zhou is very unwell now, don't come over to disturb him and need a quiet rest, do you make it clear?" ”
Sheng Er's eyes widened, full of apologies, tears fell instantly, and she cried out, not with a loud voice.
"People didn't mean it, Sheng'er just liked Brother Zhou and wanted to play with him, I didn't know he was sick, I was very ...... I'm guilty......"
Dong'er hurriedly stepped forward, covered his mouth, and raised his hand to hit Sheng'er.
Zhou Heng hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
"Don't hit Sheng'er...... Vomit...... Give me the bucket ......"
Dong'er hurried over and put a bucket in front of Zhou Heng, wow, Zhou Heng vomited, he didn't eat anything, it was all water and bile, and his throat was burned very uncomfortably.
It seemed that when they heard the voice, Aunt Zhang and they all ran over, and several women hurriedly took Sheng Er away, and they didn't know how this little guy got into Zhou Heng's cabin.
Desheng and Liu Xiu'er approached Zhou Heng, both of them had anxious looks on their faces, Zhou Heng pointed to the tea cup on the table, Liu Xiu'er handed him the tea cup, Zhou Heng gargled his mouth and seemed to feel a little better.
"Second brother, what are we going to do? It seems that the seasickness medicine I drank for you before didn't have any effect, why don't I find you some ginger to hold? ”
Zhou Heng waved his hand, "Give me the silver needle, and I'll prick it myself." ”
Zhou Heng felt that his head was tilted to one side, and he couldn't control his hands and feet, but he was very surprised at the moment.
You must know that you are never a person who is seasick and seasick, the eighth-level gale sits on a sea ship, nine adults are holding the trash can and vomiting, only Zhou Heng shuttles through the crowd to distribute antiemetic medicine, is it that the original owner has not been on a boat?
Desheng had already taken the silver needle, Zhou Heng stabbed more than a dozen needles on his body, at this time there was no way to do it, plus Desheng used moxa sticks to help smoke the big vertebrae, about half an hour of effort, Zhou Heng finally felt that he was alive again.
Instantly felt hungry, and the smell in the cabin was also very smoky, Zhou Heng got up, Liu Xiu'er hurriedly put on a cotton robe for him, and Zhou Heng smiled at the two of them.
"Don't worry I'm fine, I'll just go blow the wind and get some fresh air, find someone to clean the cabin for me, it smells really bad."
Although Liu Xiu'er was worried, she also knew that the smell was really easy to make people feel nauseous again, so she found someone to clean Zhou Heng, and when she was busy working, Su Xiaoxiao jumped over from behind.
Seeing Liu Xiu'er helping to tidy up the cabin, and a woman constantly scrubbing the ground of the cabin, she asked with a puzzled expression:
"What's the matter, Zhou Hengren is gone?"
Liu Xiu'er glanced at her, raised her hand and twisted the soft flesh between her ribs.
"Dead girl, you can't accumulate virtue with your mouth, the second brother is seasick and uncomfortable, go out and breathe fresh air, why are there no people."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said to forgive, "Good Xiu'er, let go, strangle me, how can you kill this girl?" ”
"Let you speak!"
Su Xiaoxiao approached Liu Xiu'er's face and found that this Xiu'er was really a little angry, Su Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder, tilted her chin and said:
"Don't cry like this, I didn't see Zhou Heng outside, so come in and tease you, rest assured, I'm watching the drama of people selling themselves to bury their fathers on the deck."
Liu Xiu'er was stunned, "What are you talking about, selling yourself to bury your father?" How could he sell himself on a ship to bury his father? ”
Su Xiaoxiao Yaoyao said, "How do I know, Xiao Bo is investigating, this boat was contracted by us, it stands to reason that there is no one else, I don't know how this woman came up, hum at first glance, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
Liu Xiu'er seemed to hear a little different flavor at this time, looked sideways at Su Xiaoxiao, and asked:
"Why isn't it a fuel-efficient lamp? Could it be that the girl is scheming? ”
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and grabbed the hat of her cloak.
"I won't tell you, I'll know when I go out to see it, don't talk about men, I feel like I'm going to be moved when I see it, and then I cry while telling my life experience, it's very touching, I don't know if your brother, the son of the world and Zhou Heng and the others, who is the first to be irresistible."
Liu Xiu'er looked surprised and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao.
"Stop complaining, let's go see."
As he spoke, he dragged Su Xiaoxiao forward, and instructed Chun Tao to invite Liu Renli.
The two of them came out of the cabin and walked to the splint, and sure enough, there were many people around, outside were people from the Rejuvenation Hall, and inside were more than a dozen guards from the plum garden.
Seeing Liu Xiu'er and Su Xiaoxiao, they all gave way to their positions, and Liu Xiu'er saw that there was a wooden board on the ground, and an old man was lying on it, covered with a quilt, and his pale face could not see the ups and downs of his chest, and he couldn't tell whether this person was dead or alive for a while.
A young girl, kneeling on one side with pear blossoms and rain on her face, wearing only a white single coat, looked at the old man on the ground with empty eyes, and wept quietly like that, and did not say anything.
The captain kept babbling at the girl, and stomped his feet in place in a hurry.
"Girl, you are saying something, we are taking this father and daughter, it is already a taboo, people are chartered boats, we just look at you pitiful to give you a cabin to rest, this person is not good, we have no choice, seeing that it is the boundary of Dongchang Mansion, or I will give you five taels of silver, you are going to find someone to heal, or think of another way, anyway, this boat can not be sitting."
The woman raised her eyes to look at the boat boss and shook her head slightly.
"Father just has breath, please have mercy from the boat boss, we went north to return to the capital, my father has been wandering all his life, and I also hope that the fallen leaves will return to the roots, if I get off the boat in Dongchang Mansion, then I will really die in a foreign land."
With that, the woman kowtowed three times to the boat boss.
"Please, boss, if you really can't call the shots, let me meet the distinguished guests on this ship."
Liu Xiu'er wanted to step forward, but Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her wrist, frowned and shook her head, signaling her not to move.
The boss of the boat was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and at this moment, more and more people gathered, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to raise his eyes and clench his fists at the people around him.
"I bother you to come out to your lord's house to discuss, this is all because I have moved my compassion and caused trouble to you."
As soon as the words fell, Pang Xiao accompanied Zhu Yunmo and Liu Renli over, and when he saw people coming, these guards hurriedly made a gap, the three of them looked at the ground, and the boat boss hurriedly bowed down, he knew that these people were all dignitaries, although they did not identify themselves, they could guess one or two by looking at these guards.
"Nobles, they are all small self-made, this girl and the old man, when they were on the ship when they were transshipment goods in Suqian, said very pitifully, said that they wanted to go back to their hometown in the capital, but the entanglement on their bodies was stolen, and there was no money, I hope to take them on a ride, but I didn't expect the old man to suddenly faint this morning, looking at the more breath and less intake, I'm afraid it won't work, I want to see Dongchang Mansion with my eyes, let them go down, but this girl just won't ......allow it."
Zhu Yunmo walked in two steps and looked at the woman and the old man on the ground, the old man seemed to be fifty or sixty years old, full of silver hair, and the woman was only twenty or eight years old, but I didn't expect this to be the father and daughter, saying that both the grandfather and grandson were believed.
He looked at Liu Renli, "Lord Liu, let's ask, this boat was chartered by us, and it seems that something is wrong with the sudden appearance of outsiders." ”
Liu Renli hugged his fists, he was just upright and not stupid, he instantly understood the meaning of Zhu Yunmo's words, and hugged his fists towards Zhu Yunmo.
"Yes, then the next official asks."
Liu Renli looked at the woman and asked, "You said that you are father and daughter, but looking at the age, the difference between your father and daughter is at least forty years old, to be honest, who sent you?" What do you want to do? ”
