"But if an errand comes to disperse you, won't the gain outweigh the loss?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

"Well, making trouble is not in line with the identity of the scholar, if I really can't find my mother, and many methods are not feasible, I may wait for the opportunity, I have saved some money before, not only will I not starve to death, but I can also live in an inn." Yun Ji blinked slyly.

"Yo, I've learned to save money, and I've found out." Li Qing said with a smile.

"Uh(~_~; Yun Ji felt like he was lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot. Li Qing took out a sign from his sleeve. If you look closely, this brand is carved from wood, but there is a layer of metal on it, and Li Qing can't tell what kind of metal it is, or if it is not metal, but what kind of dye.

"What is this?" Yun Ji held the wooden card in his hand and asked.

Li Qing said: "This is your token, with this item, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the test, if you get lost, you can also take it to the government." ”

Yun Ji nodded, kicked the wooden card into his arms, and patted it to ensure that he would not lose it.

"Let's eat!" The ship's lady shouted in the cabin.

"Let's go, let's go get something to eat."

Li Qing and the two were on a large ship, which was said to belong to a merchant in Suzhou and was specially transported. Under Liang Shanxian's turnover, Li Qing spent two taels of silver to board the ship.

I hope to be able to arrive in Shangjing smoothly.

Originally, Liang Shanxian wanted to accompany him, but was rejected by Li Qing. She is a widow, and having a man by her side is not a good thing, and it has a fatal effect on Yun Ji. Yun Ji must not leave any stains on her body, including her mother, and neither does her grandmother.

What's more, she has the ability to protect herself, and she also has the ability to protect Yunji. Li Qing, who has crossed the gift package, is very confident.

"Everything on board is simple, and everyone will eat dry food." There were a few large basins in front of the boatman, and a few bowls and plates were stepped on on the small table next to her.

It should be soup and steamed buns with pickles.

Li Qing took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the case again. It seems that the next thing must be like this, and it is two meals a day.

I can't live this day, special meow, wait for the ship to dock for supplies, and I must take the opportunity to get some delicious food.

Not only can't he stand it, Yun Ji is still a child, how can he endure the coarse tea and light rice every day? What's more, Yun Ji is still growing his body, since there are conditions, why not eat well?

Li Qing made two bowls of rice, took three steamed buns, and a plate of small pickles. Eat one steamed bun by yourself, and eat two for Yunhe.

"Mother, we've had a meal like this for three days, is there anything else?" Yun Ji swallowed the steamed bun and asked.

"I don't know." Li Qing looked at the people around her, everyone ate the same food, and she didn't have much to say.

After eating, putting the bowl into the empty basin, Yun Ji took Li Qing to their small room in the cabin to read.

Neither of them knew that someone had already targeted them.

"Dead dog, you have to look at it, these two are definitely fat sheep?"

In a dark corner, two people were talking sneaky.

"Don't worry, mallet, I'm eyeing it on the shore, absolutely, and the woman is so beautiful, and there is no man around, it's definitely suitable, hehehe, you know." A weird smile on his face.

"I know a fart, when I have to find a dock, I do them, and the child is sold into the kidnapping nest, so the girl is naturally ...... Sold to Goolan Yard, such goods must be worth money. The mallet reached out and patted the dead dog's head and said fiercely.

"You dead pot head, you turn the sky upside down, you dare to beat grandpa me." The dead dog was dissatisfied with the mallet doing it to himself and scolded.

"Shut up, you, tomorrow this ship will be close to the dock, that is our first chance, there are three docks along the way, miss tomorrow, wait for the next time is six or seven days later, you give Lao Tzu a little leisure."

The mallet knocked the dead dog's head a few more times, and it was quite unpleasant.

"Yes, yes, don't fight, it's okay (▼Dish▼#)."

The dead dog is a little angry, this mallet relies on his own height, and often knocks him on the head, is it a person who is also angry? Gassed.

"Did the master tell you the content of the prodigy assessment and what will be tested?"

The Master did not say. Cloud & Road.

"In this case, wait until you go to Beijing, and then ask Master Su."

"Uh-huh." Yun Ji lowered his head and read the book.

Li Qing pulled out a copy of the Tao Te Ching from the bookcase, and Li Qing preferred Taoist ideas to Confucianism. Go with the flow and observe the world with your heart.

The ship made its way to its destination, and two days later arrived at the first dock. This stop is for supplies and the unloading of some goods, so it will stop for two hours.

According to what she thought before, Li Qing planned to get off the boat to buy some food that could stand up to storage, but after thinking about it, she still left Yun Ji on the boat and went down alone.

"Dead dog, that woman went down, then the child must be on the boat, let's quietly tie up the child first, and leave the big one alone, wait for her to mess up." The mallet stared at Li Qing's figure as he entered the flow of people.

"Great!"

The two quietly entered the door of Yun Ji's room and knocked on the door.

Yun Ji put down the book in his hand, wondering in his heart, did his mother forget to bring money? Why did you come back so soon? When he opened the door, he didn't see Li Qing, only two very ordinary-looking men standing in front of the door.

"Who are you?"

"Little boy, we are sailors on this ship, and we came down to be porters temporarily, just now your parents got off the boat and encountered some things that couldn't leave, so I asked you to go and help, she said you are on this ship."

"My mother? How do you know it's me? Yun Ji didn't believe such a flawed statement at all.

"It's your mother, she is wearing a blue dress and a hairpin on her head, and she looks beautiful." As he spoke, the dead dog glanced at the mallet beside him suspiciously, and said, "Could it really be that we are looking for the wrong one?" ”

"Nope." The mallet replied.

Yun Ji looks at them, it doesn't look like acting, maybe something really happened to my mother who needs me?

"Where is she?" Yun Ji's tone seemed to be a little hurried.

When the two saw that Yun Ji had taken the bait, they immediately made a way and said, "Come with us, it's a restaurant not far from the pier." ”

If you can choose to get off the boat at this time, what else can you do for it, isn't it just a bite to eat? This is really not too easy to guess for two veterans for many years.

With the word restaurant, Yun Ji was even more convinced that these two people were telling the truth. My mother did say she was going to buy some food.

"Didn't you say it's not far away? How did you get here? Yun Ji said as he carefully looked around with the peripheral vision of his eyes, this is a small alley in the middle of nowhere, although there is a lot of noise around, no one has come here.
