Chapter 357: On the way

I have already followed Shopkeeper Song's suggestion to put up those signs today, so that others can know the price of the Shuiyunjian Inn and the number of rooms left. ”

Chang Yongan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Song went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time, the journey was smooth, and when I came back, I must live here again." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Song Leshan and Chang Yongan exchanged pleasantries again, said goodbye and left.

The group arrived at the ferry, gave the boat money, and got on the boat.

The ship is not small, carrying dozens of people, and the cabin is separated by wooden planks one by one, which is not spacious, but they have a group of four people who have booked two, two people one, and when they rest at night, this space is more than enough.

When the hour came, the ship hoisted its sails and began to move slowly to the sound of the trumpet, gradually increasing its speed.

This was the first time Meng San and Wang Guangwu had taken a boat, and it was very novel, so they went outside to see the sparkling waves under the boat, and to see the retreating scenery on both sides of the riverbank.

Xie Yinan stayed outside the ship for a while, feeling a little tired, so he went back to the cabin to rest.

Song Leshan accompanied her.

"You don't eat much in the morning, are you hungry this time, eat some rice cakes that are often given by the shopkeeper? I just tasted a little, it's light and fluffy, you should like it. Song Leshan said and broke a piece for Xie Yinan.

"It's about the first time I arrived at the place where I was born, and I can't sleep well, and I don't have much appetite when I wake up this morning." Xie Yinan didn't have much appetite at this time, but he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable if he took the boat on an empty stomach, so he took the rice cake and ate it in small bites.

Song Leshan handed over a cup of tea and asked her to moisten her throat a little.

"This shopkeeper is very real, and this rice cake is also real, and he has given so much." Xie Yinan looked at the remaining rice cakes in the pastry box and said with a smile.

"Well, the shopkeeper is a scholar, and he has the integrity that a scholar should have." Song Leshan said with a smile: "This was originally good, but in the end, he is a scholar, this business is too elegant, and he has forgotten the vulgar, this time I remind him, and I don't know if he can listen to it." ”

Scholars, pay attention to introverted and reserved, everything is not publicized, and naturally do not like to take the initiative, just like his water and clouds, although he tried his best to take care of everything in the inn, but never arranged for the shopkeeper to greet customers at the door.

There are many of these things, sometimes with his advantages, there will always be his disadvantages, and this is the case with Chang Yongan now.

"When I got up in the morning and left, I listened to what the shopkeeper said, and the water sign erected at the door, I guess I heard it." Xie Yinan said, yawning.

"Sleepy?" Song Leshan's face was full of pampering, and he took the empty teacup handed over by Xie Yinan.

"Hmm." Xie Yinan nodded: "I didn't sleep well last night, I kept dreaming, and I got up early this morning. ”

"Then you sleep for a while, and I'll call you again when it's time for lunch." Song Leshan made a quilt for Xie Yinan, and put a few herbal bags around the bed.

It is a herbal bag for insect repellent, Xie Yinan is afraid of mosquitoes, and the head of the boat is humid on weekdays, so it is inevitable that there will be some unknown small insects crawling everywhere, so Song Leshan specially prepared these, so that Xie Yinan can sleep more peacefully.

The hull of the boat swayed, originally like a cradle, making people easy to get sleepy, but now with Song Leshan by his side, holding his arm, Xie Yinan was very relieved, and the faint herbal fragrance coming out of the surroundings made Xie Yinan feel very relieved, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that Xie Yinan was asleep, Song Leshan gave her a kiss on the forehead, leaned beside her, and flipped through a book with her by the light coming through the open air window in the cabin.

When it came to the lunch meal, there were meals to sell on the ship, steamed buns, steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables, noodles, etc., and it was all available, Song Leshan bought a few bowls of shredded meat noodles, and then came to eat two cold side dishes together.

After sleeping all morning, Xie Yinan's spirits were better, his appetite was better, and he ate most of the bowl of noodles at noon.

In the afternoon, I took a look at the scenery outside with Song Leshan on the boat.

The water of the river is clear, the embankment on both sides of the river is very neat, you can see the farmer's grange on both sides of the riverbank, as well as the pedestrians walking along the riverbank, or the people in a hurry, there are other passenger boats or cargo ships in the canal, moving fast or slow, and there are also a few fishing boats that are allowed to fish, where they have sprinkled their nets and hung their fishing rods.

Being in the swaying passenger ship, looking at the various colors outside, there is a sense of leisurely comfort.

At night, when the sun is thinning, the glow of the western sky should be dazzling on the sparkling river, mixed with orange or red.

Dinner is still the same as the noon meal, but with one more rice porridge.

Song Leshan, Xie Yinan and others were used to eating porridge for dinner, so they bought some rice porridge and a few side dishes that looked good to eat, and ate them with steaming buns.

When they had finished their supper, they went back to their cabins to rest.

In the next two days, almost all of them passed like this, and the boat had already crossed the Qingjiang River.

Compared with the grass and trees everywhere in the north at this time, there is already a spring breath here in Qingjiang, the willows along the coast can already be seen to be verdant, and the spring flowers and magnolia flowers along the coast have also budded.

The grass and trees are different, the customs are naturally different, and the dialect spoken by the new people on the ferry is already a little obscure, and the snacks sold at this ferry are also obviously different from those in the north.

Meng San and Wang Guangwu looked at the novelty outside, and took advantage of the stop at the ferry to go ashore and buy some food and come back.

Tea dumplings, soup dumplings, one is crispy and fragrant, the other is the soup is delicious, all are very delicious.

"I originally thought that the ship would be slow at night, and it would take four days to get here, but I never thought that it would take two and a half days to arrive." Song Leshan raised his eyes to look at the scenery outside and said, "Looking at this appearance, when I arrive in Hangzhou, it is estimated that it will only take more than two days to arrive." ”

"Coming all the way with the wind, the speed is naturally faster." Xie Yinan stretched his waist widely.

In the past two days, I occasionally walked around the boat, but the speed of the boat was fast, and the wind was naturally stronger, and the wind in the spring was extremely dry, which only made Xie Yinan's face a little tense, so he spent most of his time in the cabin.

If you are inactive in the cabin, you will inevitably feel a little weak and uncomfortable with stiff bones.

"Well, if you arrive in Hangzhou earlier, you have to go down early to rest and rest." Song Leshan helped Xie Yinan knead his somewhat sore shoulders.
