Chapter 357: Forget Him (3)
An hour later, Zhong Weiwei, who had changed into men's clothes, boarded the boat. Music-Text
It was a medium-sized cargo ship, loaded with all sorts of cargo that was scarce in the outlying places, and the boatmen were busy with their duties, laughing and laughing loudly from time to time, and seemed exceptionally merry.
Dong Xuan, with a pair of big feet, squatted on the bow of the boat and talked to the boat boss.
The captain of the ship glanced at Zhong Weiwei and the others, and said loudly: "Salted fish, lead the distinguished guest to the cabin!" ”
A clean boy ran barefoot and smiled at his two rabbit-like front teeth: "Please come with a few distinguished guests, and you will anchor." ”
He Lingyi motioned to Zhong Hao to escort Zhong Weiwei and Xiaotang to the cabin, and he went to talk to Dong Xuan and the others by himself, and made friends with the ship's boss.
The cabin was very narrow and looked clean, but it was filled with a fishy smell, Zhong Weiwei's nose was the most sharp, and he couldn't stand it, so he sat by the window to breathe.
After a while, someone shouted, "Anchor! ”
The hull of the ship shook slightly, and the machinery could be faintly heard creaking, and the sails were full of strength, and the boat was headed towards the center of the river.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and the people on the boat were startled.
Xiaotang jumped in shock, rushed over and hugged Zhong Weiwei tightly, and Zhong Hao was so frightened that he got up and blocked in front of the two.
Immediately followed by a few loud bangs, Zhong Yuan's face turned white with fright, and Zhong Weiwei pulled him to sit down: "It's okay, probably Changliancheng is firing a cannon on his head." ”
She had heard that Chonghua was coming to patrol before, so this cannon should be the salute fired by the garrison of Changlian in order to welcome and celebrate.
I just don't know if it's really a grand celebration, or if it's a prestige for Chonghua.
Zhong Weiwei shook her head, and said that she didn't think about it anymore, she couldn't care about it anymore, so she wanted to do something happy.
It is the season to pick autumn tea, and it is not necessary to go down the river and maybe just in time to make black tea.
But the boatmen shouted excitedly: "I heard that His Majesty has come to Changlian!" I haven't seen a noble person yet, it's a pity that I just missed it! ”
Some people even joked: "I really want to go back to the water and see the sky." ”
The others chased after him and pushed him into the water: "You should go, can you enter the city in the form of a ghost?" Before he got close to the royal car, he was beaten to death with a stick, right? ”
Some people quickly turned the topic to tea, mentioning Zhong Weiwei, mentioning Fangdi Pavilion, and mentioning Dongling.
The content behind is chaotic and unobstructed, Zhong Weiwei looked at the vast river and the steaming mist.
Chonghua is neither early nor late, and she came to Changlian to patrol at this time, for what, she knows very well in her heart.
Xiaotang exchanged glances with Zhong Yuan and persuaded her to sleep: "After tossing all night, go to sleep, and when the medicine and breakfast are ready, I will call you." ”
Zhong Weiwei obediently listened and walked to the side of the bed and lay down facing in, and heard Zhong Hao whisper to Xiaotang: "Guard her, I'll go get medicine and food." ”
Hearing Zhong Hao go out lightly, Xiaotang rummaged through things.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaotang packing up the soft clothes of the two of them, and she slept peacefully.
Xiaotang packed up the soft clothes of the two, and He Lingyi entered from the outside and asked in a low voice, "Is she asleep?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Xiaotang whispered: "I still don't have any energy, I don't think the smell is bad, and I have been sitting by the window to breathe." ”
He Lingyi walked to the bed, looked down at Zhong Weiwei, and saw that although she had a green shadow under her eyes, it was much better than when she first left the palace, so she sat down on the edge of the bed and gently took her hand signal.
However, he was not good at medicine, he only knew that her pulse was a little stronger than that day, and he couldn't see anything else, so he asked Xiaotang: "What about Ah Yuan?" ”
Xiaotang said: "I'm going to get food and medicine." ”
Because she was afraid that He Lingyi would arrange for her to help, but she didn't want to let He Lingyi and Zhong Wei be alone at all, so she added: "Xia Yi is helping him." ”
He Lingyi put Zhong Weiwei's hand back into the quilt, got up and went out: "I'll take a look." ”
When passing by Xiao Tang, he suddenly stopped and stared at Xiao Tang.
Xiaotang was like a thorn in his back, half-lowered his eyes and didn't dare to move.
He Lingyi just whispered: "She grew up with you, and she trusts and relies on you the most, she may not really take what I say to heart, but she is willing to listen to what you say." Take good care of her, persuade her, and let her recuperate with peace of mind......"
He was silent for a while, and then said, "I will take her to search for famous doctors in the world, and she can always be cured." ”
Xiaotang breathed a big sigh of relief, almost grateful: "Yes, thank you He Ye." ”
He Lingyi smiled faintly, turned around and walked out.
At the stern of the boat, the man was cooking food, and Zhong Hao and Xia Yu were around a small stove to get food and medicine for Zhong Weiwei.
An iron shelf was erected on the small stove, and a small casserole pot for cooking porridge was placed on one side and on the other.
Xia Yu is responsible for the wind, and Zhong Yuan is responsible for cooking the medicine and porridge, which are "crackling" and need to be stirred or blown constantly.
Zhong Hao was so busy that he was sweating, and when he didn't pay attention, porridge splashed on the back of his delicate hand, and a big bubble instantly appeared. He didn't say anything, got a little cold water to wash, and continued to cook.
A few rough men gathered around to watch the excitement, and couldn't stop asking them about the origin.
Zhong Hao pursed his lips slightly and refused to answer, just laughing when he asked anything, three points embarrassed and seven points shy.
Xia Yi gags, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and screaming "master" crisply.
When the rough men saw the two of them like this, they didn't want to chase after them, so they said, "This is not the work that a man should do, don't you have a female dependent?" Just let them do it. ”
One of them laughed: "Zhao Laosi, because you are standing here, the girls don't dare to come." ”
Zhao Laosi rolled up his sleeves: "What's wrong with me?" I'm not a traitor, so I can't just look at it, can I? ”
Zhong Yuan was afraid that they would not be light or heavy, so he said unpleasant words and pulled Zhong Weiwei to him, so he hurriedly got up and gave them a group of words:
"Borrowing a treasure boat to cross the river, causing trouble to your brothers, my sister is sick, and it is not suitable to see the wind.
She worked hard to raise me, not to mention serving her decoction, even if she gave up her life, I was also willing. ”
This was said softly and hardly, warning these rough men not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would risk his life to protect his sister.
Several rough men glanced at each other, Zhao Laosi walked over to Zhong Yuan, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What a little offspring!" looks weak, but has backbone, my brother likes it! ”
Xia Yi hurriedly wanted to stop him, but Zhong Hao pushed him back and said lightly: "Take care of Sister's medicine and porridge." ”
Without evading his words, he straightened his waist and chest, looked directly at Zhao Laosi, and when Zhao Laosi's fan-like palm was about to fall on his shoulder, he was dexterous to the side, stretched out his hand to support Zhao Laosi's palm, and made a skillful move, pulling and pushing, and firmly grasped Zhao Laosi's palm in his hand.
