Ling Xiao was afraid of scaring her, so he made up a reason: "The boatman said that there are many undercurrents in this water, and it is easy to have accidents, so you take the pregnant woman to a safe place and wait first, so as not to cause trouble." “

"Aunt Lin needs protection, and grandmother also needs protection," Yun Xiu got up and looked at him strangely, "Besides, the undercurrent is dangerous, isn't it that the bigger the boat, the more stable it is?" What should I do if the boat is capsized? “

A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and sometimes it's right.

Ling Xiao found that she was not easy to fool, so he simply didn't explain, "It's decided, I tell you, it's for you to be prepared." “

"If you don't make it clear, I'm not going anywhere." Yun Xiu felt weird, hugged her knees, and shrank on the bed, "And I slept in your room, and I went out to be discovered by others, do I still have a face?" “

"Are you leaving?" Ling Xiao bluffed his face, scratching in his heart, but he couldn't show it, his lie had to be rounded, "Don't force me to do it." “

"What do you want to do?" Yun Xiu was not afraid of him at all now, and his eyes were round, "Master Hou is in a high position, and he can't despise Wang Fa." If you want to do it, you can do it, and you can bully the market. “

This high hat NoNo

Ling Xiao is not afraid of breaking her little like a thin body, I really want to throw people into the river and sober up.

People don't have two taels of meat, sharp teeth and sharp mouths, slippery tongues, and all the food they eat is on their mouths.

Yun Xiu saw that he didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he had won the run, and was about to say a few more soft words, slap a sweet date, and a thought flashed in his mind, "Master Hou, this is the boundary of Qingzhou?" “

"Coming to Qingzhou," Ling Xiao didn't know why she suddenly asked. "This body of water is the junction of Yangzhou and Qingzhou, what do you want to say?"

Yun Xiu didn't speak for a long time, put her thumb against her teeth, and thought for a while.

In the previous life, the junction of Yangzhou and Qingzhou was a ghostly and sorrowful area, not only because the turbulent water often caused shipwrecks, but also because of the poor soil and steep terrain here.

When she went north with Xie Zongren, she almost suffered.

Unexpectedly, she came to this place again.

The heart is mixed, but it can't be declared.

But one thing is certain, it is not peaceful outside, otherwise Ling Xiao would not suddenly say that he wants her and Aunt Lin to leave.

"Master Hou." Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "There was a lot of movement on the deck just now, did something happen?" You're afraid I'm scared to tell the truth. “

It's not a good thing to be too delicate either.

Ling Xiao rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed, "Did you hear it all?" “

Yun Xiu nodded half-truthfully.

"But be prepared." Ling Xiao tried to speak as calmly as possible, "The road is far away, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some small troubles. “

"That's not right." Yun Xiu looked at him and shook his head, got out of bed and put on his shoes, walked quickly to the window, and the moment he pushed it open, he was hit by the cold rain that swept in obliquely, and froze goosebumps.

"Don't look for trouble!" Ling Xiao came over in a few steps, closed the window, frowned and asked, "Do you want to freeze or die?" “

Yun Xiu patted the water droplets on his arm and raised his eyelids lightly, "I want to make sure and share your worries." “

Ling Xiao felt that she was blown out of her brain, "Two boats of old and weak women and children, what worries can you share?" Hurry up and get dressed! “

Saying that, he called the boatman to come and arrange the dawn of the day.

It stands to reason that Yun Zhidong, as a patrol salt imperial history, swears to live and die with the tax and silver on the ship, and Ling Xiao, as a supervisor, can send additional protection personnel, but he is not primarily responsible, but he can't ignore Yun Xiu.

And Yun Xiu will never abandon her mother's family and only care about her own safety.

"Master Hou, I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" She changed her clothes and came out and looked at him, "When I got on the boat, I saw that you and your father had ordered twenty camphor wood boxes, people can go, but what about the boxes?" “

She guessed that it was either white silver or valuables.

"It's not something you should worry about." In fact, Ling Xiao didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to keep the tax money, but also to ensure that his life was worry-free.

"Master Hou, I have a way," Yun Xiu pondered his thoughts, "It's just a bit of a risk, do you listen to it?" “

In a desperate situation, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, something is better than nothing," you said. “

Yun Xiu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Let Aunt Lin and Grandmother, change the boat and go first, and the boat in front is left Aunt Chen and her father to rush to Qingzhou with the box at full speed, and we will make the bait." “

"!" Ling Xiao didn't want to refuse, and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you don't have bad ideas." “

After a pause, he frightened, "With fine skin and tender meat like you, more than a dozen men have chopped you alive!" “

Yun Xiu didn't give up: "Master Hou? “

Ling Xiao: "If I say no, I can't." “

"Master Hou, I haven't finished speaking, and I won't discuss it anymore?"

"No, I said."

"Master Hou."

"Nope."

"Ling Xiao!"

"It's useless to call the ancestors!" Ling Xiao slapped the table and kicked Yun Xiu out.

Chunliu slept soundly, heard the sound of slamming the door, got up with a spirit, and after a while, he saw the eight girls walk in with a sullen expression, without saying a word, she threw herself on the bed, and her pink fist hated and hated on the quilt, and her voice was muffled, as if to say "stinky man".

She didn't hear clearly, and asked cautiously, "Girl, you haven't slept all night?" “

Yun Xiu was taken aback when he heard this, and he hummed perfunctorily, calmed down and got up, "Tonight is stormy, I'm a little seasick, go outside to breathe, you go to get a basin of hot water, I want to wash my face." “

Chunliu was ordered to go out.

When I came back, there was not only hot water, but also a bowl of hot porridge and two plates of side dishes, Chunliu said, "When the slave and maid went out, I met the Hou Ye eating with several military masters, so I asked the slave and maid to bring a bowl over, can the girl eat?" “

Yun Xiu has something in her heart and has no appetite, but if she doesn't eat it, Chunliu will definitely ask, she can't and doesn't want to say too much, so she nodded.

Half a bowl of porridge was down, the crab shell blue sky gradually brightened, Chunliu pushed open the window to look at the sky, and estimated: "The girl is too late, but the weather is not good, gloomy, the deck is all wet, and it rains at night." “

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside the house, followed by Aunt Lin's voice, "Is the eighth girl awake?" “

"The girl is having breakfast." Chunliu answered the door and let people in. Greeting, "Has my aunt eaten?" “

"For a moment." Aunt Lin smiled reluctantly, walked to the back room and saw Yun Xiu, and asked worriedly, "Master Hou just asked me to change the boat, what happened, is the girl leaving?" “

"I'll leave too, don't worry about Lin Xiaoniang," Yun Xiu smiled and comforted, "What else does Master Hou say?" “

Aunt Lin shook her head, "I didn't say anything else, I heard him tell the owner that he wanted to get two boats, and send me, the old lady, the accompanying doctor, and Fang's mother to go first." “

It's not that I didn't listen to her at all.

Yun Xiu decided not to worry about Ling Xiao first, "Since Master Hou has arranged it, Lin Xiaoniang will follow, it's okay." “

God is still beautiful, although the river is fast, it just goes downstream, and the two small boats successfully sent away the first wave of people, and Ling Xiao redeployed manpower.

Yun Zhidong is a civil official, don't look at the usual prestige in the mansion, this will not even be able to hold a knife steadily.

"Master Hou, Xia Guan didn't see anything unusual on the water," he stood behind Ling Xiao, his hands and feet trembling, "Will we be too grassy and woody?" “

The guard looked at him dissatisfied: "What does the imperial history mean, our marquis has done this too much?" “

"No, no, no, the lower officials don't dare." Yun Zhidong took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "Xia Guan slept heavily at night, didn't hear any movement, speculated, please Lord Hou ignore the villain." “

Ling Xiao raised his hand, glanced at Aunt Chen not far away, and looked back at the Cloud Cave without smiling, "Yun Yu Shi Spring Festival is a moment, I can't hear normal. “

After he reminded him, Yun Zhidong found that Aunt Chen had two black green marks on her neck, and roared angrily: "Conspicuous things, don't go back yet!" “

Aunt Chen also sensed that something was wrong, and ran away with her neck covered.

The rest is for the big boat to move forward normally, to meet with the small boat that has returned, and to pick up the second wave of people.

It's fast to go downstream. Coming back against the current, the length was fully doubled, Ling Xiao finished arranging the troops, and after teaching the Cloud Cave how to use the signal smoke, he returned to his ship.

Because most of the guards remained in the front boat, the rear ship was obviously much vacant.

"Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?" Ling Xiao was not at ease, so he went to Yun Xiu's house to take a look, and saw that she was sitting still, "What are you rubbing?" “

"Master Hou, come in and sit." Yun Xiu got up and pulled him to the back room.

Chunliu was not there, she was relieved to get close to him boldly, hugged his waist, and asked in a low voice, "It's all arranged?" “

Ling Xiao couldn't stand this soft look of low expression, and unconsciously eased his tone: "It's arranged, you will leave in this batch, and the boat will arrive soon." “

"Master Hou, the sword has no eyes, no matter what happens, be careful." Yun Xiu was suddenly reluctant, "Don't hurt your hand like last time." “

"Are you worried?" Ling Xiao touched her back and forth, and said with a wicked smile, "I deliberately injured myself last time, I see if you care." “

Yun Xiu raised his head and looked at him speechlessly: "How old is Master Hou, how can he be as childlike as a rice cake, doesn't the knife wound hurt?" “

As she spoke, she withdrew from her embrace, frowning. "If there is no hair this time, I will never care about you again, and I will never see you in this life!"

"Can't you just say two nice words?" Ling Xiao found more than once that the way she cared was quite special, "When other girls see that their lover is gentle and lovely, you like to poke people's lungs." “

"Do you think other people's girls are good, go find someone! Go! Go! Yun Xiu pushed him twice, anxious, "I'm embarrassed to say that I poke people's lung tubes, but you poke me less?" The more you don't let you do anything, the more you do the opposite, and you don't know who it is, and you don't know who you are ashamed of. “

"You will always be the lady of the Hou Mansion," Ling Xiao pinched her chin, lowered her head and kissed it, "There is nothing to be ashamed of." “

"You know how to take advantage of me!" Yun Xiu pushed his face away indiscriminately, "Chunliu will come back and see it in a while." “

As she was speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly covered her mouth and made a silent gesture.

Yun Xiu's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he heard him whisper "go".

The two of them hurried out of the cabin, and as soon as they stepped out of the deck, there was a frightened scream from the ship in front of them.

At the same time, a knife flew in through the window of the mausoleum and pierced into the doorpost, the handle of the knife shaking.

Everything happened quietly, and Ling Xiao pulled Yun Xiu into the nearest cabin with a thunderous momentum, and quickly locked it.

"Don't talk." He commanded in an airy voice, his sharp gaze swept across the room, pointing to the back of the cabinet, "Hide that." “

Yun Xiu covered her mouth tightly and nodded nervously.

She was thin, shrunk into the corner as much as possible, and there were piles of debris outside, so that she couldn't tell that there was someone hiding inside.

Ling Xiao gave her a short dagger when she left, and she had no choice but to protect herself first.

The corner was dark and opaque, only the fragrance of cedar trees floated in the air, Yun Xiu's heart raised her throat, and from time to time she heard the clash of blades and the sound of chaotic footsteps, there were people on the deck, there were people in the bow of the boat, and there were people in the stern, she didn't know where Chunliu was, and she didn't hear the woman's voice.

She kept reassuring herself that she couldn't hear the proof that it was okay, and that she might be hiding somewhere like herself.

Yun Xiu thought wildly, and the sound of chaotic footsteps entered the cabin, and then the door was kicked open, and after that, she would scold with a very heavy accent, which frightened her heart out of her throat.

The man was just outside the door.

The palms were sweaty, wet and greasy, and the dagger became slippery.

Yun Xiu buried her face in her knees, fear crept up in her heart, only to hear a bang, and the door opened.

Footsteps followed.

She felt herself tremble uncontrollably.

The man was still walking inside, sweeping the bottles and cans placed as he went, and the ping-pong bells were all broken.

Then he walked to the place where Yun Xiu was hiding, and after rummaging through the cabinets for a while, he scolded and walked out.

A breath loosened into her stomach, Yun Xiu instinctively wanted to go out and have a look, but the thought flashed, and a snow-white blade was inserted into the cabinet board and nailed to the wooden wall, no more than a finger from the tip of her nose.

The sudden fright made her stiffen, and she even forgot to call for help.

The man probably noticed that the back of the cabinet was empty, and his steps turned back.

Yun Xiu knew that it was impossible to escape today, the dagger was out of the sheath, and the tip of the knife was outside, she waited to be found and fought back, and waited for a long time, but she waited for a quick fight.

Then Ling Xiao's anxious voice sounded: "Xiuxiu, it's okay!" “

Yun Xiu threw away the dagger, struggled to climb out, and pounced on the figure, all the fear turned into complaints, biting him on the shoulder fiercely, and whimpering: "Why did you come!" “

She was really frightened, and she was still trembling when she hugged Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stroked her back with a big palm and comforted, "The boat has arrived, I'll take you there." “

"I'm not going anywhere!" Yun Xiu almost collapsed, "Why don't you call for reinforcements?" I heard you say that there are arrows on the soldiers, why don't you put a signal? When will you be a hero! “

"Yun Yushi has released signal smoke!" Ling Xiao told her to calm down, "Now that the water is rising, the reinforcements will arrive in half an hour at the earliest, and most of the guards are in the front boat, which will save your father's life, don't worry." “

"Then I'm not leaving!" Yun Xiu panicked in his heart, "He's fine, what about you?" What about you! I'll fight with you, do you want to break your word and abandon me! “

"I don't want to leave you!" She hugged his arm tightly, as if at a loss, and said, "Ling Xiao, don't drive me away, I can hide at the bottom of the cabin, endure for half an hour, and promise not to cause you trouble." “

"Xiuxiu, don't make trouble," Ling Xiao didn't care about the wind and snow, pulled out his hand, and forcibly pulled her out, "To tell you the truth, the bottom cabin is full of tax silver, and there is no place for you." “

"So you have to protect the silver to death?" Yun Xiu's heart sank suddenly, and tears couldn't help but pour out, "You don't want money or me, I've been with you for so long, I don't want any face, in the end, it's just a pastime on your way." “

"Xiu Xiu, where the duty lies," Ling Xiao found the nearest way to cross the deck, and said as he walked, "I can not protect it, once the tax and silver are lost, and the imperial court's plan is ruined, the responsibility will be pursued, and the Yun family's exile will be light, and even the nine clans may be possible." “

"But No" Yun Xiu pouted, and before he could say anything, he was pushed onto the boat by Ling Xiao.

The boatman immediately swung up and went down the river and left quickly.

"Ling Xiao!" Yun Xiu stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the gradually smaller figure, and shouted.

Ling Xiao turned his back to her and shook his hand.

It wasn't until the two boats disappeared from view that Yun Xiu relented and said to the boatman, "Don't send me to my destination, find a place a little farther away and let me go." “

So far, if there is any mistake with Zhongyi Hou, she will not go to the capital with the old lady.

Because Yun Yushi would not tolerate a daughter who was immoral, she didn't want the old lady to worry too much.

After getting off the boat, Yun Xiu found a place to rest along the path, sat silently on the stone, and waited for Ling Xiao to find her.

When the mountain stream is cold at dusk, even if I keep rubbing my arms back and forth, I still feel cold.

Yun Xiu stood in place and jumped a few times to warm her body, but the more she jumped, the more hungry she felt, she wanted to wait and wait, so she walked in by the way. Walking into an open field, the sound of a babbling stream could be heard in the distance.

She didn't dare to go too far, worried that Ling Xiao wouldn't find her, so she looked for food nearby, put it in her arms when she found it, and took it to the stream to wash.

The fruit was not yet ripe, and its teeth chattered with acid.

Yun Xiu endured to eat a few bites, intending to find something else.

As it was getting late, her field of vision gradually narrowed, and she was pulling back and forth on the ground with a small stick, but she didn't pick up any ripe wild fruits that could be eaten.

Yun Xiu sighed, straightened up, and pounded his sore waist, thinking that if Ling Xiao didn't come. It's good to leave Yunfu like this, she is not a boudoir girl who grew up pampered, when she accompanied the old lady to plant flowers and plants, she learned some common sense, and even knew simple medicinal materials.

You can make a living by digging herbs.

Yun Xiu thought about it and laughed out loud, when would she still think about these messy things.

"What are you laughing at?" A voice came from behind Leng Buding, startling her.

Yun Xiu turned around and saw the familiar dark colored boots covered with dirt and broken leaves, and suddenly said, "How long have you been with me?" “

"For a while, it's up to you when you find me." The other shrugged, "Obviously overestimating you." “

"Why don't you call me!" Yun Xiu collapsed all his emotions in an instant, and flew up. Crying, "I thought you weren't coming!" I want to never go back to Yunfu again! What kind of face to go back to! “

"So didn't I come?" Ling Xiao hugged it tightly and patted it twice, "Usually with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, anyone dares to squeeze, and there are times when they are afraid." “

At this time, poking the lung tube, Yun Xiu sniffed and pushed him away unhappily, "I'll go myself." “

Before the words fell, there was a scream, and the whole person fell.

Ling Xiao let out a burst of laughter, and couldn't stop when he helped her up.

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh! Yun Xiu felt that his face was about to be lost, and he couldn't walk anymore after enduring the pain and being able to walk a few steps.

"Come up and carry you." Ling Xiao squatted down in front of her, turned his head sideways and said, "Go back and rub the medicine." “

Yun Xiu was reluctant, but he didn't refuse, and leaned on his back and pinned his head: "You know where I fell, just give me medicine?" “

Ling Xiao smiled very restrainedly: "According to your wrestling method, eighty percent of you will lose your feet." “

Yun Xiu deliberately looked surprised, "Is the wrestling method still exquisite?" It seems that Hou Ye has not fallen less. “

"It's a good fall," Ling Xiao choked back, "but Wang Ba's posture on the ground is almost none, and his appearance is too ugly." “

Wang Ba landed on the ground NoNo Yun Xiu squinted his eyes and took a bite towards the back of the other party's neck, commonly known as Wang Ba Ai biting.

Back on the big ship, she helped Ling Xiao jump back to the cabin with one foot, the owner apologized, although it was cleaned, but the damaged place could only be repaired in the next port, temporarily wronged everyone.

If you are lucky enough to be able to pick up a fortune fortune, it is best to have a safe place to sleep.

The occupant's room was in the middle of the boat, and it was not damaged, Aunt Lin escaped and was not frightened, Chunliu was very frightened, and she began to have a fever when she was not a child, and Yun Xiu naturally shared a room with Ling Xiao.

After a simple wash, she removed her hair and sat on the edge of the bed, stretching out her swollen ankles, waiting for Ling Xiao to take the medicine.

Ling Xiao was skillful, and poured the medicinal wine into the palm of his hand to cover it hot. Stick to her affected area, "Does it hurt?" “

Yun Xiu nodded, "It hurts, you tap." “

Ling Xiao took it lightly, "So? “

"It still hurts." Yun Xiu thought his hands were heavy, "Otherwise, I'll wipe it myself, and you'll be tired for a day, so hurry up and rest." “

Ling Xiao said okay, after washing, lying on the couch, Yun Xiu remembered to turn his head and ask, "Are there any injuries on your body?" “

"No," Ling Xiao told her to lie down and speak, "You didn't mean that you would lose a single hair, and you wouldn't see me in this life." I'm honestly scared. “

Yun Xiu glanced at him: "Master Hou is not afraid of the wind and flashes his tongue, it is all others who are sincerely afraid of you, when have you ever been afraid." “

"Xiuxiu, you can't talk well?" Ling Xiao put his arm around her shoulder, "Who cried and begged not to leave during the day?" I'm afraid that I won't want you to break my promise, and in just a few hours, my true form will be revealed. “

"You, you, what nonsense!" Yun Xiu thought about it now, she was so ashamed that she couldn't say those words if she killed her on weekdays, "Master Hou forgot, I haven't heard it." “

"What you say is a certainty, you can hear it," Ling Xiao pulled her hand away, "Why are you covering your face, shy?" I don't say it, no third person will know. “

Yun Xiu: "NoNo"

Is it a debt to a child?

There were too many ups and downs on this day, and the two fell asleep without saying a few words.

In a daze, Yun Xiu subconsciously squeezed into his warm arms.

Ling Xiao's consciousness is sharper than that of ordinary people, as long as she moves, he will wake up and take a look, and then hug and sleep.

He was not in a hurry to have her, mostly out of pity.

Growing up so big, he didn't care for anyone, but Yun Xiu was different, and sometimes even thought that it would be good if she was the one who was married.

Now the Ling family must be holding their grandson.

He didn't have to take refuge, ran to Yangzhou, and hid for so long.

The world is impermanent, the world is impermanent, NoNo

***

Three days later, the group came to the boundary of Qingzhou, and the prefect received the news early that the two ships were carrying tax silver bound to the capital, and they encountered the water invaders a few days ago.

In fact, the ghost sees the sorrowful waters, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

But I didn't chase it from above, I didn't care about it from below, and I pretended to be deaf and dumb for several years, but I didn't expect that the paper couldn't hold the fire.

Good food and drink are indispensable, the old lady is half sick, and the female family group is chatting happily at a table, Aunt Lin suddenly covered her mouth and rushed out.
