There are four realms, ten islands, twenty-eight countries, ten large islands, and the other three realms beyond the hundred, all of which rely on this passenger ship that walks the sea.

There are boats that carry grain, merchant ships that carry goods, fishing boats, ferries that cross rivers, and painting boats that swim rivers and lakes.

The passenger ship that Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai took was from Changxing Port to Xingkou, which is the mouth of the Xingjiang River, which is the big river that flows from Jindingjing in Taiwei Kingdom. The two of them were going to the nine-inch cliff north of the Xingjiang River, but there were too few coastal ports in the empire, so the captain took the chart on the table and pointed it out to Qi Zhilai, so he persuaded her that Xingkou was the best result of the best selection.

The cabins of passenger ships are divided into three levels: "Tian", "Ding" and "Zhen", and the names alone reveal luxury and luxury, and they can't tell the good from the bad at a glance. Ge Lan held fifty taels of silver in his hand, and Qi Zhilai was staring at him, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he asked the owner of the ship for two "Zhen" rooms.

Ge Lan helped Qi Zhilai and followed the owner to the bottom floor of the cabin, smelling the stale wood and walking to the end of the corridor. The owner of the boat removed two from the key ring in his hand and opened both doors.

Moisture poured out of the door in an instant, and the smell of moisture in the fabric was several times worse than that of wood, and Qi Zhilai, who had always been simple, did not feel frowning.

"Two, this is the 'Zhen' word room. The owner of the boat smiled and introduced sideways.

Ge Lan put his hand into his arms, touched the remaining silver taels, bit his lip and said, "...... I think I still need a Zhenzi room and a Dingzi room......"

The owner of the ship smiled slyly: "The Dingzi room is on the upper floor, I see that the girl who is traveling with you has inconvenient legs and feet, if it is separated from you by one floor, it may not be convenient to take care of it, in my opinion, it is still ......."

"Don't bother, just these two. Qi Zhilai tightened the arm that was tightly on Ge Lan's shoulder and interrupted the ship's owner.

"This ......" The owner of the ship was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ge Lan in embarrassment.

"Then it's a dingzi room," Ge Lan pondered for a moment, and replied with a flash of inspiration, "Boss, do you think you still need to add money?"

"You ......" Qi Zhilai kept his body and couldn't speak for a long time.

“...... Then sleep at the door. ”

......

Zhenzifang is indeed too bad, even she can't cover the secret resistance in her heart. It's just that this money, the fifty taels and more silver that came from this blackmail, will last until they return to Taiwei, and until they return to the Nine Inch Cliff by land...... It's not a place to be a luxury.

But this guy actually said the idea of living in the same room...... Qi Zhilai's mind was blank for a moment, and then what she thought of was refusal, and she wanted to open her mouth, and suddenly felt that I, Qi Zhilai, could go into battle, so why should I care about the suspicion of men and women - she didn't expect that she really cared, which made her feel ashamed.

But this kind of shame is another thing in Ge Lan's eyes, although he is ashamed, he does not refuse, which can't help but his heart ripples, rippling to his face, turning into a self-righteous smirk.

"Lead the way ahead. He raised his chin at the shipowner.

......

The hallway on the second floor is much wider, allowing sunlight and nearly half of the total number of rooms. The owner of the boat still led the two to the end of the hallway, removed the key and opened the door.

There was still a hint of musty smell wafting from the room, probably at sea, which was also something that could not be helped. But fortunately, there is a window in this room, and the golden sunlight shines on the bed and floor, and even the most unbearable things look a little better.

The ship's owner pulled out the key and handed it to Ge Lan, who then extended his other arm in a polite invitation.

Ge Lan nodded slightly to him, and then helped Qi Zhilai into the room. The owner of the boat smiled meaningfully in the back, and gently withdrew, closing the door.

Ge Lan helped Qi Zhilai to sit down at the table and chair by the window, and then fell to the bed with big characters facing the sky.

Ahh

His face was full of comfort, stretching his limbs for the first time in a long time, and he moaned comfortably.

Suddenly, he shrank up as if he had been pierced by something, glanced at Qi Zhilai in the chair with some embarrassment, lowered his head apologetically, and hurriedly clarified: "Qi Zuo, of course this bed ...... Of course it's yours, I'll lie down once, just once, just once......"

Ge Lan didn't know why she was suddenly so ashamed - because she was lying on the bed that should have been the girl's house?

This journey is too difficult and dangerous, starting from the Black Dragon Disaster in Longqiao Tiandao Temple, there is no night spent in a serious bed. So when he saw such a white, fluffy bed, with a little dust floating in the sun, he really lay down without thinking about anything.

But after being comfortable, the next moment was the embarrassment that made his scalp tingle - in the final analysis, is it considered a familiar acquaintance between me and Qi Zuo, and is it a familiar acquaintance that can be let go and lie on his back in front of the other party...... Ge Lan felt that it was enough, but he was not confident and thought that Qi Zhilai also had the same idea as him.

The sunlight shone directly from the window onto the table, and Qi Zhilai's hand rubbed on it, and his fingertips could feel the texture of the wood.

She took a breath, her lips opened slightly, she didn't spit out a word for a long time, and then sighed helplessly, shook her head and smiled: "If you want to lie down, lie down, this way...... It's not easy. ”

......

It was already afternoon when the two of them got on the boat, and it was not long before they settled down before it was time for dinner.

According to the owner of the ship, there are three meals a day on the passenger ship, at the beginning of breakfast, lunch at noon, and at the beginning of dinner.

Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai rushed to board the ship in Changxing Port, and they didn't eat lunch, and by this hour, their stomachs were already rumbling, and they couldn't miss this dinner.

The dining room is located on the upper deck and shares a floor with the crew cabins. Long before the guests of the Zhenzi Room and the Dingzi Room poured in, the sailors and boatmen on board had already dealt with it.

Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai arrived early, and the crew dispersed after eating, and the man collected the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the back kitchen to wash.

"Two of you are guests on the boat?"

At this moment, a boatman with short hair walked past the two men, stopped for some reason, and turned back to ask.

Ge Lan casually said "um".

The boatman did not give up, but turned his whole body around, and then said, "Look at this girl has a wound in the leg? As he spoke, he turned sideways and led the two to the table.

Qi Zhilai hugged Ge Lan a little more vigilantly, staring at the boatman who came to talk to him.

"Wait for me," he brought them both to the table, and the boatman bowed his bow for a moment, and trotted out of the dining-room, with a somewhat cheerful step.

Qi Zhilai and Ge Lan looked at each other suspiciously, not at all confused, so they simply touched the bench and sat down to see what the boatman was for.

One after another, guests like the two of them who were afraid of missing the meal walked into the dining room in twos and threes, came to the table and sat down, but before the meal arrived, the dining room had become noisy.

At this time, the boatman with the short hair walked towards Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai, holding a wooden piece taller than him in one hand and a wooden box in the other. Others cast strange glances.

"This is ......," Ge Lan said suspiciously as he approached.

"Haha, this is the side girdle that was broken when I entered the port this morning, I think it's a pity to throw it away, pick it up and think about using it to do something when it's okay......"

As he spoke, he stood the wooden pole next to Qi Zhilai, "I see that it is not a way for you to hold the girl all the time, so I thought of simply using this broken truss to sharpen a pair of crutches for the girl." ”

Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai glanced at each other without knowing what to do when they heard this, and then they both smiled awkwardly.

"Big brother...... Really warm-hearted. Qi Zhilai looked at the boatman and squeezed out this sentence.

"My brother helped the girl to her feet, and I measured it. The boatman said as he took out a small knife from his toolbox and raised the pole with his other hand.

Ge Lan was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Qi Zhilai with an inquiring gaze, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.

So Ge Lan helped Qi Zhilai to stand up straight, she only had one foot on the ground, and tried not to lean towards Ge Lan who was holding her.

The boatman with his short hair nodded in satisfaction, then lifted the pole and pestle it to Qi Zhilai's side. I saw him squint one eye, stabilize the wooden pole with one hand, and use a small carving knife with one hand to compare the height of Qi Zhilai's armpit, and immediately hold the small carving knife to carve a mark on the wooden pole.

The girl just lowered her hand naturally. The boatman looked up.

Qi Zhilai didn't know how to be natural, but his arm stiffened.

The boatman didn't care, but lowered his head, raised his little carving knife horizontally, and quickly made another stroke on the wooden pole than the height of Qi Zhilai's tiger's mouth.

Then he straightened up, took the small knife in his mouth, crouched down on the spot, let the carved wooden pole lie horizontally on his lap, and took out a tape measure from the toolbox.

“...... Have you measured it?" Qi Zhilai asked tentatively.

The boatman was a little absent-minded, and the carving knife in his mouth made only vague noises for unknown reasons. The tape measure in his hand was put away, put it back into the wooden box after a few measurements, and then the free hand immediately took off the small carving knife in his mouth and drew a few more lines on the wooden pole.

At this time, the crowd in the dining room suddenly stirred, and as soon as Ge Lan and Qi Zhilai looked up, it turned out that it was time to eat—the man wearing an apron pushed out a cart of cage drawers from the back kitchen, and the junior apprentice behind him was carrying a large pot of cut pickles.

The guests who had come for dinner had already gathered around the cart, and Ge Lan was so anxious that she no longer paid attention to the boatman who was squatting on the ground, and hurriedly rushed over as soon as she helped Qi Zhilai to sit down.

Qi Zhilai suddenly felt as if she had been placed by Ge Lan as if she had been placed by something, and an inexplicable unhappiness flashed in her heart. She sat restlessly on the bench, pressing her left leg to her right leg and her right leg to her left, her eyes deliberately not looking in the direction of the crowd, but only staring down at the boatman's hand.

The action was only reflected in her eyes, but her brain seemed to be unable to read it, and she just let the picture come in and out, leaving nothing.
