Lin Jiaotou followed behind Fang Jinshi, the group walked very slowly, and finally came to the riverside, there were only two small boats on the riverside, one was the one Lin Jiaotou took when they came, and the other was the larger one that Qiao Ling'er Brother Li's canopy boat, Shi Hu's subordinate Cong and Xue Zheng They fled and drove the other boats away.

The boat was too small to carry many people, Senior Brother Li jumped on the bow of the boat, held the oar, Qiao Ling'er said, "My senior brother sent you, is it done?" She spoke cautiously, afraid of provoking Fang Jinshi.

Fang Jinshi calmed down a little after this long downhill, and said in a low voice: "Thank you." He carried Yun Nu'er's body on his back and got into the canopy boat, Qiao Ling'er helped the body to lay down on the boat, Senior Brother Li shook the wood pulp, and the canopy boat headed towards the previous big boat.

There will be some drizzle in the sky from time to time, Qiao Ling'er went into the cabin and took a piece of blue cloth, hesitated to cover Yun Nu'er's body, and when it covered her face, she peeked at Fang Jinshi, Fang Jinshi didn't look over, she slowly covered it.

The stranded ship was already calm at this time, Yun Nuer's body was transported onto the big ship, Deng An shook his head again and again and sighed, and slapped it on his lap and said, "Old Wei...... Lao Wei ...... What is he trying to do? Wei Chong always reminded everyone to be careful of the enemy's tricks, not to eat the food sent by Shi Hu's subordinates, and to wash rice with river water, who would have thought that he himself had put sweat medicine on the diet of these people, maybe he hadn't performed like this before, and with the experience of the Lin Sect Head and the guards, he would not have fallen for his tricks.

Fang Jinshi asked about the losses of the entourage, except for the two people who were slightly injured and all the silver money was looted, there were no other losses, but only Yun Nu'er's life was harmed.

Although this big ship is not far from the shore, but stranded here, no one can do anything for the time being, occasionally ships pass by, and they refuse to ask for help, Lin Jiaotou said: "If there is such a major event, you must report to the official, otherwise there will be trouble in the future." ”

Fang Jinshi knew that what he said was reasonable, and after thinking about it, he explained that he brought two other guards to the Sizhou Mansion to report to the officials, they were people in the official mansion, and their grades were not low, so they would be easier to talk, so Lin Jiaotou took someone with him.

Fang Jinshi looked at Deng An, opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, he wanted to go ashore to Deng An and go to the city to buy a good coffin for Yun Nu'er, and immediately thought that all the money he brought was robbed by Shi Hu's men, where is the money to buy a coffin?

Fang Jinshi looked at Yun Nu'er who was lying on the plank, and couldn't help but feel sad again, Deng An understood what he meant, and stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, son, I'll go to the shore and think of a way, even if I ask Lin Jiaotou to borrow from the government, I will also put a coffin for the third lady to come back." ”

Fang Jinshi was also very helpless, happily coming from Bianliang City to this Huaidong, but he was miserable and trapped on the bank of the Surabaya River, Qiao Ling'er said to Deng An: "My senior brother will send you ashore." She looked at Fang Jinshi, lowered her head and walked off the boat with Senior Brother Li Deng An.

The sky slowly darkened, and here and now, except for the Lin Jiao leaders who left on the boat, they didn't even have a meal to eat, and they were trapped in the shallows of the river, unless they swam over, it was not easy to go ashore, Fang Jinshi had no intention of eating, and the shopkeeper of Jinxian Village and the people of Yunwangfu were not good enough to come up and disturb him, so they all had to endure it.

Lin Jiaotou quickly brought the official messenger over, and he accompanied the official messenger to the shore and the hillside by boat to investigate overnight.

Someone lit a candle at the bow of the boat, Fang Jinshi sat on the bow of the boat, and Yun Nu'er's body was lying next to him, and he had changed the candlestick three times, and someone shouted: "I'm back." ”

Fang Jinshi looked up, Deng An and Qiao Ling'er got on the big boat together, Deng An said in a low voice: "Someone outside the city will send the coffin over tomorrow, it has been done." Fang Jinshi listened to Mu Ran's no, Deng An sighed and patted him, and said, "It's that Miss Qiao's money." ”

Fang Jinshi knew that Qiao Huaishan had died when he was in Shaanxi, Qiao Ling'er was dressed in white, and her senior brother also had filial piety clothes, which was for Qiao Huaishan to keep filial piety, and it seemed that Qiao Huaishan would not leave her any money.

Qiao Ling'er and her senior brother also brought food, which solved the dilemma of having no food to eat.

Early the next morning, Qiao Ling'er and her senior brother came to deliver the meal again, Fang Jinshi gradually eased his spirits, and asked the name of Senior Brother Li in private, his name was Li Qiong, and he was Qiao Ling'er's third senior brother.

Qiao Huaishan has been brave and martial arts all his life, and he has taught three apprentices, the eldest disciple Zhang Zong'e, the second disciple Wang De, and the third disciple Li Qiong.

Qiao Huaishan died of illness in Shaanxi, Wang De has returned to Wuyuan, Zhang Zong'e was sad, looking for someone to deal with the funeral, Qiao Ling'er helped Ling to return to the south, and went to Qiao Huaishan's hometown Sizhou Mansion for burial, Li Qiong heard the news and came to keep filial piety for the master for some time to fulfill filial piety.

Qiao Ling'er saw Fang Jinshi on the Sizhou River, so he told Li Qiong, saying that this person had helped a lot when he was in Shaanxi, and Li Qiong rowed over to ask Fang Jinshi to cross the river, but he was not careful, and then Li Qiong saw Shi Hu and several people coming in a big boat, with his many years of robber career, he saw some doorways, and told Qiao Ling'er, and then followed from afar, but later found that something was wrong and went to find Fang Jinshi's whereabouts, and arrived at the deserted courtyard It was a moment late.

At noon, a man from a coffin shop sent the coffin to the shore, and Deng An cautiously asked Fang Jinshi: "Do you think you will put the body of the third lady on the boat or on the shore?" ”

Fang Jinshi hesitated and didn't answer, Deng An said: "It's better to put it on the shore, the soil can cover people and not bury people." Fang Jinshi didn't know that there were these rules, but he just agreed, and a few people carried Yun Nu'er's body to the boat, Fang Jinshi said: "Find a way to transport the carriage to the shore as soon as possible, I will accompany her to Pingjiang Mansion." ”

Deng An wanted to persuade Fang Jinshi to find a cemetery to bury Yun Nu'er by the Surabaya River, but seeing his face, he swallowed his words back, but he didn't know that Fang Jinshi came to Jiangnan this time to move his family to Pingjiang Mansion to avoid the invasion of the Jin Kingdom that would come soon, and to leave Yun Nu'er on this halfway, which was absolutely impossible.

Sheng Fu Yun Nu'er, Fang Jinshi stopped by the river for two more days, and Lin Jiaotou borrowed the road fee from the government to open the Jiangfu, and at the same time left two guards to deal with the case, and then prepared to go on the road again.

It is really a loss for Li Qiong to deal with Zhao Ziping's head, otherwise the Sizhou Mansion Yamen would not have handled the case so quickly according to the ordinary robber robbery, and the big ship also wanted to be towed to the nearby deep-water wharf and handed over to the government for processing.

The weather has gradually improved in the past two days, and the sun is still out today, at this time, the sun is setting, spreading the glow on the water, Qiao Ling'er carried a basket of incense, candles and white cloth, and came to the shore where Fang Jinshi and they stayed temporarily, these things were bought by Deng An last time.

Yun Nu'er's coffin had been parked on a wooden cart, and the rest of the luggage had been packed, but Fang Jinshi was not here.

Qiao Ling'er handed the basket to Deng An and looked around, Deng An understood what she was looking at, so he pointed into the distance and said, "He went there." ”

Deng An was referring to the downstream, Qiao Ling'er sighed, stayed here for a while, and then walked downstream along the river bank, and walked for a long distance without seeing anyone, thinking in his heart if Fang Jinshi had already gone back? Turning around a sand dune on the shore, I saw two clothes and a pair of shoes lying by the river.

Qiao Ling'er looked around and didn't see anyone, seeing that the clothes were Fang Jinshi's, she felt a pang in her heart, and thought to herself: "Could it be that he couldn't think of it, and committed suicide by jumping into the river?" ”

She hurriedly walked two steps to the river, Fang Jinshi emerged from the river water in front of her, and then stood straight in the waist-deep river water, it turned out that he had just dived in the water.

Qiao Ling'er was slightly taken aback, but she was a little relieved to see that he was safe, and what reassured her even more was that Fang Jinshi was still wearing pants while standing in the river, although he was naked, he was not too embarrassed.

Qiao Ling'er said, "What are you doing...... What the? The water was cold. Fang Jinshi wiped the river water on his hair and face, and said calmly: "I want to be calm and calm, and I can go after washing my body." ”

Qiao Ling'er sighed, I don't know what to say, stammering often brings people more than just the problem of speaking fluently, people with low self-esteem also speak less because they are afraid of other people's jokes, so they can't speak, can't comfort people, although Qiao Ling'er thought of saying two words to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it.

She actually has an excellent heart and a weak personality, she is completely different from Liang Cuirong's weakness, Liang Cuirong is pretending, but she is real.

Fang Jinshi said: "I'm going to leave here in a minute, I haven't said a word of thanks to you and Senior Brother Li, is Senior Brother Li by the river?" ”

Qiao Ling'er said: "Senior Brother Li didn't come for something, he will ...... tomorrow I have to go back to the barracks tomorrow, and I want to ...... Be prepared. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then it seems that I will only thank him again the next time I see him, and I didn't go to kowtow to Uncle Qiao this time, and I will make up for it next time." ”

Qiao Ling'er sighed again, and then said, "Aren't you cold standing in the water?" ”

Fang Jinshi lowered his head and washed his face again, stepped out of the water, and landed on the shore a little far away from where Qiao Ling'er stood, and said to Qiao Ling'er: "You help me get some clothes there." ”

Qiao Ling'er agreed, lowered her head and went back, walked away and glanced back, a special feeling came up in her heart, Fang Jinshi didn't seem to be polite to her, so she asked her to get her clothes, not at all, among the people she didn't know, there were none.

This feeling actually seems to be the feeling that her father Qiao Huaishan is back, in the years that Qiao Ling'er has grown up, Qiao Huaishan has always been by her side, and she only relies on Qiao Huaishan, Qiao Huaishan's death is so old, Qiao Ling'er suddenly has no backbone, and feels empty.

At this time, she felt that this man was talking to her like her father did, not to mention that this young man had always been obsessed with her heart.
