16. Night flight
The boatman who rocked the oars put a plank on the bow of the boat and attached it to the shore. Fu Yi negotiated with Mr. Lu, and took Han Song on the boat together. Han Song saw that the wooden plank was slippery and swaying with the waves, so he couldn't help but hesitate to walk, and the boatman saw her moving with his head down and small steps, and he bent down to pick her up.
He had good intentions, but unexpectedly grabbed Han Song's arm, and she screamed and stepped back. She was unbalanced under her feet and fell headlong into the water.
The group was taken aback, Fu Yi was following her, but he didn't expect it, he reached out to pick her up, but he was only able to pull her up from the water.
The boatman saw that he had scared her, and apologized repeatedly. Han Song grabbed Fu Yi's hand and got up, his cotton clothes were soaked, the river water was mixed with ice floes, and his body trembled from the cold, but his expression was very embarrassed, and he only said, "It's okay." β
She knew that the boatman was in front, but she was threatened with force along the way, and suddenly she was caught by a stranger, and she jumped in horror.
She saw Mr. Pei's wife and concubine trembling when she saw the blade before, and she felt quite pitiful, but she didn't expect that she would be like this. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she was even more embarrassed and had a fever on her face.
The fisherwoman turned to the bow of the boat, and there was a look of surprise on her face, and she said, "There is a fire in the rear cabin, you can bake it, and the little lady will come back with me." β
Mr. Bai and his entourage were already sitting in the back cabin, and the fisherwoman went in and said a few words, and saw Mr. Bai and his party get out of the cabin and change Fu Yi and Mr. Lu to the back cabin. I saw that it was quite narrow inside, only able to accommodate four or five people sitting opposite each other, and there was a slippery small table in the center, with a few empty wooden plates and a charcoal brazier around it. The fisherwoman led Han Song to the brazier and sat down, and helped her wring out the dripping coat, although it was short when she fell into the water, but the clothes inside were also soaked.
The fisherwoman laughed: "We come and go in the water, and we don't have extra clothes. It's just dawn, and the little lady will be there. β
Han Song snorted. Fu Yi stood aside but heard it, and said, "Isn't there a daughter of the Bai family?" I'll ask Mr. Bai. β
The fisherwoman looked embarrassed and said, "We have to change our clothes, and it is inconvenient for us to ...... on the boat."
Fu Yi said lightly: "I see that there is a curtain in front of your cabin." β
The fisherwoman was speechless for a while, looked at Fu Yi for a moment, softened her tone, and said, "In this case, the slave went and asked Mr. Bai." β
After saying that, he got up and went out. Sure enough, I brought a set of underwear and outer clothes. He cleared out the back compartment and let her change her clothes.
The girl of the Bai family looks thirteen or fourteen years old, her clothes are a lot bigger, and her style is quite complicated. Han Song couldn't figure it out, and when he thought that someone was waiting outside, he was even more in a hurry. It's just time to change clothes, and it feels like a long time has passed. The fisherwoman helped her dress, her face was very unhappy, and without waiting for Han Song to thank her, she went out of the cabin by taking care of herself.
Mr. Lu and Fu Yi were originally huddled on the deck, and when they saw the fisherwoman going out, they came in and sat down. Mr. Lu's bodyguard was at the stern of the boat with the boatmen. Mr. Lu didn't speak, but there was a bit of humor in his eyes. Han Song looked at Fu Yi and saw that he was expressionless, and intuitively felt that he was also a little displeased. She was taken care of by Fu Yi all the way, and she already trusted him very much, but she didn't mean to treat him as an elder in her heart, seeing his calm face, she was a little dazed for a while, and said, "I'll go and thank Sister Bai." β
Fu Yi said: "I thank you, don't run anymore." Seeing Han Song standing still, he said again, "Come and sit." β
Han Song sat down as he said, feeling that he was really like a trained child, and his heart was both strange and annoyed. Fu Yi pushed the charcoal brazier in front of her, but she didn't react. Although she had changed her clothes and her hair was barely dry, she still felt a chill on her skin. After a while, the top of her head warmed slightly, and it was Fu Yi who reached out and touched her hair.
He seemed to be quite organized, and said slowly: "Living in the world, if you don't dare to trouble others, you will always be bullied. You know you're susceptible to the cold, so be bolder. β
Han Song knew that Fu Yi wanted to teach her out of good intentions, and the little awkwardness suddenly dissipated. But he couldn't help but be a little sad, and said in his heart: "But living in the world, you have to trouble others in everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation, how can you be brave?" After a moment of daze, she looked up and saw that Fu Yi was still looking at her, and responded, "I know." β
She felt that such an answer was a bit perfunctory, but she did not know how to express it more appropriately. After thinking about it, he said, "It's that I didn't figure it out." My sister and uncle have worked hard to protect me all the way, and if I only try to save effort and can't cherish myself, I will fail everyone. It won't be like this in the future. β
Fu Yi listened and didn't say anything more. Mr. Lu, who was on the side, said: "Regardless of anything else, this little daughter has an elm head, but it looks like you are your own." β
Fu Yi said: "There is no need for Mr. Lu to care. β
Mr. Lu said: "Jiang Jun walked on the road, with 'endure humiliation and burden' written on his left face, and 'Great Righteousness Ling Ran' written on his right face, so he was not annoyed, but he still had to pass on this habit to children. When I passed by, I inevitably felt a little emotional. β
Fu Yi said: "I saw Mr. Lu walking on the road, with 'extraordinary' written on his left face, and 'unwilling' written on his right face, which made people think about it. β
The two taunted each other, and each of them thought it was funny, and they were silent. Han Song was amused when she heard it, and looked up at the two of them: she couldn't see any words.
After a while, Mr. Lu said: "Jiang Jun talked about the situation in Changhuai, and I promised you to talk about the situation in Yuzhou." β
Fu Yi said: "Let's go to Miancheng, Mr. will talk about the situation near Miancheng." β
Mr. Lu glanced at him and said, "Jiang Jun really has no distractions. β
Fu Yi didn't answer, he said again: "Let's go down the river to Miancheng." If you can go ashore, you can be regarded as out of Zhang Mu's soldiers. However, Xu Jian was strong, and several cities along the coast were swaying in the wind. Although Miancheng is a small place, if you want to pass, it may not be smooth. β
Fu Yi said: "Then where is Mr. Lu going?" β
Mr. Lu said: "I'm going to Taoyuan, if Jiang Jun is interested, it's better to go with me." β
Fu Yi seemed very surprised when he heard this, and said, "Taoyuan? β
He read it again and said with a smile: "When I first met, I thought that Mr. Lu was just a county official, but I underestimated my ambition. β
Mr. Lu said lightly: "If Jiang Jun thinks that Taoyuan is useless, I can say something for Junfen." β
Fu Yi said: "I want to go to Mianshan. β
Mr. Lu said, "I guess so. But with all due respect, those who are swaying in the wind must also add General Liu. Originally, when Han Yuzhou was there, half of the eight counties were his protΓ©gΓ©s. Liu Zongyuan echoed, and there was still some confrontation. Now that Han is dead, the situation is very different. β
Han Song was beside Fu Yi, and after a paragraph of the name of a person and place, she was already drowsy, and vaguely felt that she had heard something familiar, she suddenly woke up and said blankly: "What?" β
Fu Yi patted her on the head and said, "It's nothing, you can sleep." β
He said to Mr. Lu again: "Mr. wants to talk about Taoyuan, I am willing to listen to Gao's arguments." β
Mr. Lu paused, and suddenly said: "Mrs. Han dares to stay in Juyang, and the world thinks that he has something to rely on. Now not only is he dead, but also the whole family, and the whole house is lost, I don't know if he expected it......"
He said slowly and clearly, and when he was halfway through speaking, Fu Yi grabbed the empty disk on the case and threw it at him, his movements were very abrupt. Mr. Lu also seemed to be prepared, and leaned to the side to avoid it. Mr. Lu's bodyguard, who was originally in the stern of the cabin, came in when he heard the sound. The wooden dish slammed on the ground, startling the fisherwoman to ask loudly. For a while, several people in the cabin looked at each other, Mr. Lu and the others stared at Fu Yi, but Fu Yi looked at Han Song.
Han Song's mind followed this time, and his face turned pale for a while.
They didn't say a word, Mr. Lu had already seen through it, and said, "This child is Han Yuzhou's family?" That's amazing. β
He looked at Han Song, and then said to Fu Yi: "This is a major event between the government and the opposition, you can hear about it in the poor streets and alleys, and you can't hide it for long, what kind of effort do you have." β
Fu Yi slapped his palm on the bulkhead, was very annoyed, and said, "What a cold-blooded and ruthless person!" You know that since I have repeatedly stopped you, it must be related to this child, so why should I be so tempted? β
Han Song was still stunned, and for a moment he saw a little charcoal fire in the earthen basin rising and falling with the waves, pulling the shadows all over the room. She didn't know anything about the famous "grandfather", and for the "father", she only had the sentence Fu Yi mentioned when he laughed, "If you don't write well, you have to beat your palms". At first glance, when I heard that the Han family was gone, I was more shocked than sad. She thought of the courtyard where the coffins blocked the door in the deserted village, and the mutilated corpses on the side of the road, wondering if the appearance of people who died could be more dignified in that distant place known as "Luandu", and what difference was the difference between the decay of the courtyard?
Han Liufang's soul has passed away, and she has avoided this terrible funeral. Where is Han Zhi now? Did he survive? Did you hear about the death of your father and family in some corner of nowhere?
Fu Yi approached her and gently patted her on the shoulder. Han Song realized that she was crying, her thoughts were confused, she didn't know what she was thinking, and muttered: "I just thought, how can the general teach me the truth of the world, it turns out that he knows that no one in the family teaches me." β
Mr. Lu said on the side: "If this is really Han Yuzhou's granddaughter, Jiang Jun might as well go south to vote for the Peng family." β
Fu Yi turned abruptly to face Mr. Lu, his arms were bulging, his face was gloomy, he was obviously angry, and he looked very dangerous. The guard didn't say a word, standing between the two of them. Mr. Lu sat in place, his face still waveless, but his eyes were shining, and a more and more fierce look of ridicule appeared, and said: "I used to know people like Jiang Jun very well. I thought that I could be of great benefit to the country, but in fact, I didn't know how to judge the situation and couldn't protect my wife. Your Excellency's coming to pick up Han's orphans is really natural. β
Fu Yi said: "I also know a few people like Lu Jun. I think I am independent and don't care about the rules of the world. In fact, it is a desire for profit, but it can't be obtained from the right path, so I have to make up a set of crooked reasoning! Even if the world is now chaotic, so that good people cannot die well, and you are given an opportunity to take advantage of, what is there to be proud of? β
Before he could finish his sentence, the hull of the ship shook violently. The fisherwoman suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, with an uneasy look on her face, and when she saw several people in the narrow cabin fighting, she was taken aback, and took a step back.
Everyone in the cabin didn't look at her, Mr. Lu glared at Fu Yi for a long time, and Fang said coldly: "What's the matter?" β
The fisherwoman looked left and right, and said, "I saw the official ship of the night patrol ahead." β
