After Qu Wu arranged the decoration of Da Mao and them, he rode his horse to Gusu Wharf, found Ximen Hu, and agreed to rent his building ship Taiwu to go to Chu to buy grain.

Ximen Hu proposed that if the empty ship went to Chu to buy grain and waste transportation capacity, it would be better to transport some materials urgently needed by Chu from Wu to go over, so that the money earned could also buy more grain back.

Qu Wu thought about it and rejected the proposal. Because this will inevitably delay time, the most important thing is to buy the grain back a day earlier, but he still decided to bring some samples of Wu's silk and other specialties, and if he can find a suitable partner, he can establish a cooperative relationship.

Early the next morning, Qu Wu took Da Mao, Ji Zhi, Chen Shi and Zi Yan to the renovated house, at this time the person in charge of the renovation workshop also arrived, Qu Wu and they explained the decoration matters again before leaving, purchased some vegetables and daily necessities in the market, and also brought two hundred disposable lighters and three boxes of liquor to the boat, along the Yangtze River towards the direction of the capital of Chu ---- Yingdu.

Because Prince Shoumeng had warned of the presence of water pirates, Qu Wu also made some preparations for this: a pair of bows and arrows, a small barrel of oil, and a few arrows wrapped around strips of cloth; a pair of infrared night vision glasses, which he had prepared when he was driving before; And then there's the slingshot. In addition, he also gave a pair of night vision binoculars to Simon Fox for his brothers on night duty, and Simon Fox was very happy to get this treasure, which was something that money could not buy at that time.

The boat traveled on the tributary of Taihu Lake to the Yangtze River, and Qu Wu had a rare opportunity to come out alone to relax his mood, and he was also very happy at this time. It's not that I don't want to be with my brothers and sisters, but spending too much time in a crowded environment often leads to the idea of being quiet and alone, so that I don't have to think about other people and feel comfortable.

The boat had been traveling for an hour, and Qu Wu suddenly found that a small boat was closely following the ship, keeping a distance of more than a hundred meters. At first, Qu Wu didn't pay much attention to it, but then he found that the boat was obviously tracking, which was a little strange, he took out the binoculars from the cabin and looked at it, and found that in addition to the boatman rowing on the boat, it was actually Ziyan sitting in the middle.

Qu Wu had no choice but to ask Ximen Fox to stop the boat and wait for the boat to come. Unexpectedly, the boat also stopped, and Ziyan may not have thought that Qu Wu had seen her at all.

Qu Wu saw that the boat had stopped, so he had to ask Ximen Fox to turn the boat back and move closer to the boat.

Zi Yan saw Lou Zhou walking back, knowing that Qu Wu saw her, so she didn't avoid it, and waited there quietly.

"Ziyan, why are you following me?" Qu Wu asked knowingly.

"Brother doesn't want me to go to Chu with you, it's always okay for me to go by myself, right?" Zi Yan flashed those big eyes and said confidently.

"Then what are you doing with my boat?" Qu Wu had the heart to tease her.

"Whoever follows your boat, this river is not only your boat, you go yours, I go mine." Zi Yan pouted and gave Qu Wu a roll of his eyes.

"Okay, you go, I'm not leaving." Qu Wu continued to tease her again.

"Let's go, who's afraid of whom. Uncle, sail the boat. Ziyan said to the boatman.

"Wait." Qu Wu asked the boatman to stop, and said to Ziyan: "Okay, Ziyan, don't be childish, just send me here, go back." ”

"Who said that I was sending you off, I am going back to Chu State."

"Why are you going back to Chu State? You left your post without asking for leave. ”

"I'm going back to Chu to find my younger brothers and sisters, there's a good reason for that, right? If you are not allowed to take leave, I will resign now, so be it. Zi Yan stared at Qu Wu's eyes and said.

"I didn't approve it, you can't resign."

"I didn't sell it to you, if you can't say it, it's okay for me to escape, right?" Ziyan said.

Qu Wu knew that Ziyan couldn't persuade her to go back, and with her personality, she wouldn't let her go with her to Chu State, she would really leave in anger by herself, and besides, if she wanted to find her relatives, there was no reason to disagree.

"Okay, I agree that you will go to the Chu State. But can you let this little boat go back on its own, and you get on my big ship? Qu Wu had no choice but to compromise.

"That's pretty much it." Ziyan turned her anger into joy, and then discussed with the boatman for a while, and handed over the salary.

After dealing with the affairs of the small boat, when I wanted to get on the big boat, I suddenly found that I couldn't get on because the small boat was too low and I couldn't reach the side of the big boat.

At this time, Qu Wu jumped off the big boat with the cable on the big boat, and instructed the boatman of the small boat to tighten the cable to keep the small boat close to the big boat, and couldn't help but squat down and hug Zi Yan's calf and lift her up.

Seeing that Zi Yan had already gone up, Qu Wu lifted the two big bags that Zi Yan had brought above his head and asked the boatmen on the big ship to answer. Then he saluted and thanked the boatman, grabbed the cable of the big ship and climbed onto the big ship.

After Qu Wu got on the big ship, he settled Zi Yan into the best small cabin, but Zi Yan stopped doing it again.

"Brother Qu Wu, I'm a little scared to sleep here alone."

"What then?"

"There are two beds in this cabin." Zi Yan lowered her head and said.

"You've grown up, you've become a big girl, and it's inconvenient for me to sleep here." Qu Wu scratched his head and said.

"But the last time I went to Xinzheng, didn't we all sleep in the same room all the time?"

"You were a kid then, aren't you grown up now?" Qu Wu is so helpless.

"But that was two months ago, and whoever saw two months of people would grow up." Ziyan continued to cheat.

Qu Wu groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll sleep in this room too."

At this time, Ziyan unconsciously smiled.

"If I knew you were coming, I should have brought more food." Qu Wu said.

"It's okay, I brought some, and I also brought a small hot pot." Ziyan said, and then took out some bacon and other foods and hot pot base in her backpack.

The big boat continued to move forward, Zi Yan was as happy as a bird, jumping around on the boat, which made Qu Wu feel very surprised, this girl and so many people have never been so happy in some crazy people.

After dinner, Zi Yan pestered Qu Wu to play Go with her, Qu Wu didn't expect her to actually bring Go on the boat, but this made Qu Wu very happy, and she could have a chess addiction.

After playing two games of Go, Qu Wu was a little tired, so he urged her to rest as soon as possible, but Ziyan, who was still very excited, was unwilling.

"Brother Qu Wu, when you were at Chen Damao's house that day, who was talking in your room?" Zi Yan raised this question again, because in her opinion, that incident was too incredible, and she was even worried that a demon had broken into Qu Wu's room.

"Do you really want to know?" Qu Wu said.

"Hmm." Ziyan nodded.

"Then you have to promise me one thing." Qu Wu knew that it was not good to keep it from her, and was worried that she would speculate wildly.

"Okay, as long as my brother is happy, I will agree to ten things."

"The sound that day was made by a cell phone that I had with me, and this phone can be used for you, but you can't tell anyone else about it, can you?" Qu Wu asked.

"What's so hard about that? Ziyan will definitely do it. Take it out and show me what it is. Zi Yan's curiosity was bursting, and she thought that what Brother Qu Wu treated so carefully must be extraordinary.

Qu Wu took out his mobile phone from his arms, opened it, clicked on a TV series, and handed it to Ziyan.

Zi Yan saw her brother take out a delicate small rectangular box, and took it with both hands, only to see that there were not only sounds coming out of this small box, but also lively people moving inside, she was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes, and felt that these villains were about to jump out.

After Zi Yan looked at it carefully, her eyes widened wide and round in shock: "Brother, what is this?" How could there be such a scary thing. Zi Yan was so frightened that she waved and began to tremble, seeing that the mobile phone she was holding was about to fall down.

Qu Wu was worried that the phone would fall to the ground and break, so he hurriedly took it.
