Chapter 8: The Evil Slave
When the rain stops, it's time to hit the road.
Wait for Mei and Jinhe to pack up their luggage, which was not too messy, and prepare to leave.
Wang Dagou got up early in the morning, went out with a burden, and didn't know what to do.
Originally, he said that he would come back when the time came, but Lin Qiantan waited left and right and didn't see him.
Wang Ergou took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he would come and rock the boat, and it was the same.
Lin Qiantan knew the details of Wang Ergou, and felt funny in her heart, but she was unwilling to agree. On the contrary, Song, who usually looked at these little hooligans with the most bad faces, nodded in agreement.
Song said to Lin Qiantan: "The young man has spirit, and he looks reliable."
Lin Qiantan didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Wang Ergou poured into these people around her when she fell asleep during the day for a few days, and why they were all talking for him. As soon as Song said it, Mei also shyly expressed her agreement with Song's opinion.
Lin Qiantan had no choice but to give them face.
It's not that she has any prejudice against Wang Ergou, a special old man, but it's a fact that this person steals chickens and dogs, and her finely crafted belly pocket doesn't know where this person is "treasured" at the moment.
I just hope that this one is really like what Mama Song said, she is a reliable person, and she can keep her belly pocket embroidered with her name and identity to prove her identity.
Seeing Lin Qiantan agree, Wang Ergou smiled heartily and patted his chest, looking like he promised not to disappoint Lin Qiantan. Lin Qiantan smiled lightly and shook her head, and acquiesced to Wang Ergou to send her to the next station.
Tongzhou is not far from the capital, and Lin Qiantan is only about half a day's trip from the next pier. When he arrived on the land, it was already said that the steward of the Chu family would come to pick him up, and the left and right Wang Ergou would send such a journey, and it would not hinder anything. What's more, there are more than a dozen nursing homes in it!
So in front of Wang Ergou, she bowed down and walked into the cabin.
She didn't see the corners of the lips of the young man who was wet with sweat early in the morning, and he looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy. Seeing that the Lin family had all the masters and slaves, he smiled evilly, and couldn't wait to wave his arms and start the boat.
When he drove the boat almost away, Wang Dagou on the shore ran in a hurry, chasing and shouting something, but the wind on the water was loud and the distance was far away, where could Lin Qiantan and the others still hear it.
Wang Ergou saw his brother from a distance, and thought to himself, looking back, it seemed that he had to apologize to his brother. He coaxed Wang Dagou to pay off the gambling debts for Lai Haozi on his behalf, but in fact, he was just deliberately dragging Wang Dagou and wanted to stay with Lin Qiantan for a while.
Wang Dagou went to Lai's house, Lai Hezi got Wang Ergou's explanation in advance, and made a trick to stumble Wang Dagou, Wang Dagou finally got rid of the people and rushed back, and the daylily was cold.
Seeing that it was too late for him to catch up, he had no choice but to go home in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a guest who had just come to the Wang family as Mei and Jinhe said.
When Wang Dagou saw the person, he immediately restrained the anger on his face, and quickly changed to a respectful expression, and said to the person: "Teacher."
These are only seen and heard by the people in the royal family, and they can't spread the slightest bit to the outside. The Wang family is just an ordinary fisherman in Qianshi Village, but sometimes they also receive short-term visitors. The neighbors have long been accustomed to it, and it is not strange to see it.
On the other side, the passenger ship carrying a boatload of more than a dozen people seemed to have sailed towards the river. The storm passed, and the eyes on both sides of the strait were full of freshness. The plants and trees that have been beaten up by the rain give off a strong fragrance. It's not too hot in April. It's early morning again, and it's a cool breeze.
Wang Ergou drove the boat slowly, slower than Wang Dagou, but on the contrary, it was more stable.
He stood at the bow of the ship, not looking around at all, but only steering the ship towards its destination without distraction. Lin Qiantan saw that he was serious, and finally let go.
It's just that she doesn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both shores.
Wang Ergou seemed to know that she was seasick, and drove the boat in those places where the water ripples were relatively calm. But Rao is like this, Lin Qiantan is also so disgusted that she wants to vomit all the way.
So it was so slow, but it was okay to arrive at Pingyuan County, where the dock was located, before sunset.
When they finally docked and settled their wages for a few days, the Lin family said goodbye to the Wang family's boat and connected with the steward sent by the Chu family. Lin Qiantan is already alive and has a tortured prostration.
She is like this, so naturally it is not suitable for her to continue on the road immediately. The steward of the Chu family had the courage to make the decision and arranged for Lin Qiantan to go to the inn closest to the dock to rest first. More on that later!
Song took her to the inn with her big daughter and master in her arms, and couldn't figure out why she was so bad at riding a car or boat. But after thinking about it, I still used the fastest speed to clean up the mattress that didn't look very clean in the inn for Lin Qiantan and served her to lie down.
On this day, the waves on the river were not small, and in all fairness, Wang Ergou did his best to keep the boat steady, but Lin Qiantan was still uncomfortable.
But even if she was uncomfortable, she still thought of something, and remembered to remind the Song family: "Mama told Jinhe and Zhimei, be vigilant at night, the one from the Chu family, I look at the eyebrows with some evil spirit."
Lin Qiantan's words just spoke to the heart of the Song family.
The steward sent by the Chu family was called Chu Shen, an ordinary middle-aged man. Although Song felt that Lin Qiantan's use of the word "evil spirit" to describe the people of her grandfather's family was a bit exaggerated, she basically agreed with Lin Qiantan's statement - she also felt a little uncomfortable when she was stared at by this one.
After Lin Qiantan finished explaining, she closed her eyes with confidence. After a while, his eyelids were a little sore, and he squinted slightly. When she was half-asleep and half-awake, she was still thinking that she said that Chu Shen's evil spirit was indeed an exaggeration, but Chu Shen was indeed worthy of the word "evil".
In her previous life, Mei was the same as her master, she lost her body, and the villain who used alcohol to commit murder was the one who came to pick them up, Chu Shen.
Chu Shen saw that Lin Qiantan was going to rest in the inn for the night, so he went out to drink at night as if he had been here for the past few days.
The specialty wine of Pingyuan County tasted pretty good, and Chu Shen liked it very much after trying it for a few days.
He thought that he would be on the road tomorrow at the latest, so it was better to drink a few more glasses while he was happy, so he let go of his courage, bought several jars of wine, and drank happily.
When he was drunk and confused, Lin Qiantan's figure appeared in front of him, and his eyes were cloudy.
But he was still a little sober, knowing that it was the main family's Miss Cousin, and he couldn't touch it.
However, he can't afford to eat swans, and the frog next to the swan can always think about it, right?
