"If it is said that it is the ...... of Ganzhou," Gao Ya said half a sentence, but he suddenly stopped, and after a long while, he added, "The supervisor brought over by the Jingxi Lifting Officer last time seems to be from Ganzhou Hydraulic Engineering, yes or no?" I heard that I had just reported my work that day, and I wouldn't be able to go to Liunequanzhong until April, so I should still be living in the east post station of the city? ”

Shen Cunfu also quickly remembered.

"Measure the embankment with a ruler? It's a bit capable, and it seems that he has a good deal to manage the affairs of the Xijing River......"

However, he still felt that something was inappropriate, and counted the hours and said: "Although I have said a few words, I am not very familiar with each other, and people go to bed early at this time, right?" ”

Gao Ya also hesitated, but said, "It's just...... Didn't you say that you were going to Shangshanmen early tomorrow morning? The east of the city and Shangshanmen are not on the way, where is there time? ”

After suffering for many years, both of them were very cautious, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

In the end, Shen Cun remade the board and said: "Even if you owe him a favor, if you pay him back in the future, you will pay him back." ”

As he spoke, he stood up first and said, "In the evening, you go and talk to your younger siblings before leaving." ”

Gao Ya muttered, "A woman's family, what do you want to say to her", but he didn't dare to speak loudly, but he still entered the side room, and he didn't know what he explained inside, and after a while, he came out of the door with joy.

The two of them have been entangled at home for a long time, but when they arrived at the East Post Station in Decheng, the post guard heard that someone came to find a prison officer in the middle of the night, yawned and flipped through the books, and said: "Cheng Jian Di went out during the day, and he has not come back yet, so he only explained that he was not here for a few days, and you will come back after a while?" ”

Shen and Gao went out happily, and when they got this reply, they had to go back in disgrace.

After such a back and forth, the sky is already white.

Gao Ya thought that he didn't find anything this time, and when he returned home, his wife asked, and he couldn't give any answer, if he refused to go back to the capital water supervisor to resume his post, he would have a pain in the face, and he wouldn't even have the strength to walk.

It doesn't matter if your face hurts, but your daughter-in-law's hands hurt when you are tired......

His pace gradually slowed down, and he turned his head and asked, "Second brother, what should I do now?" ”

How did Shen Cunfu know, he only frowned two eyebrows, and he couldn't walk under his feet.

Compared with going back to the yamen to lose face and being ridiculed for not eating back grass, Gao Ya was already more afraid of being scolded by his daughter-in-law after being at home for a few days, so after thinking about it, he knocked on the side and said: "Second brother, why don't we give it a try?" Could it be that after listening to others tonight, we will be able to believe it? It's better to follow and see, if Gu Gongshi seems to be a reliable person, you might as well gamble again, if it is the same as that foolish worm, wait until you go to Sizhou, it's a big deal to come back! Can he still tie my hands and feet? ”

Shen Cunfu was actually very willing to score six or seven points in his heart, and there was still a lack of a step down, so he heard Gao Ya's words, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "According to what you said, it's not early now, go home and clean up, and follow him to see what he does." ”

Sure enough, the time and place were made, and before dawn the next day, the two arrived with their baggage, although they did not speak to each other, they had to be brave by their side, and they went to the Fuyu wharf together.

When I arrived at the place, it was actually half a tea time early, but Liao Xu, who followed the door yesterday, was already waiting on the shore, waiting for them to get closer, and stepped forward to greet each other with a smile: "Shen Gong, Senior Engineer, Gu Gongshi is waiting for you two!" ”

After getting on the boat for a while, he stood firmly, and the boatman untied the rope, and several people used bamboo poles to prop it up, and the boat swayed away from the shore.

Shen Cunfu was taken aback and asked, "Just a few of us?" ”

Liao Xu smiled: "It's all early, only the two of you are missing." ”

As he spoke, he led the way.

As soon as Liao Xu pushed open the hatch, before he could walk in, he could already hear someone talking inside, in a southern accent.

"When I came, I came from Huai'an, and I only felt that I had indeed traveled all the way to Beijing, and the terrain was higher all the way......"

In front of the cabin, a large map of water potential is hanging on the head of the cabin, and a person is holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand, pointing to Luoshui, Bianqu and other places above, and everyone explains.

Gao Ya heard the man's voice, which was already a little familiar, and when he turned his head, he immediately recognized it, and shouted in a lost voice: "Gong Jiandi!" ”

Shen Cunfu followed behind, heard the call from the front, and hurriedly looked up, and really saw that the Ganzhou-born prison officer who the two had been looking for all night was standing in front of him, and he was looking at it with an innocent face.

"It turned out to be Brother Shen and Brother Gao!"

The man bowed his hand and saluted.

Shen and Gao hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

The cabin was already full of people, and at this time it was quiet, and no one spoke, just waiting for the three of them to greet each other.

Gao Ya couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you inform the first-class Neiquan in the post station, how ......?"

That Gong Jian Di is not very old, at this time he is holding the bamboo pole in one hand, and scratching his head embarrassedly in the other hand, and said: "I heard that Gu Tong's judgment is here, and I heard that he took over the water supervisor and wanted to do the thing of Daoluo Tongbian, thinking that he was a water worker after all, and he was somewhat useful, so as soon as he got the letter yesterday, he recommended himself with a shy face......

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at the people not far away, and then said again: "I didn't expect Gu Tongju to remember me as a nobody, so he helped Tongliu Neiquan say hello and temporarily transferred me to the capital water prison." ”

In that tone, there was a lot of gratitude and joy, as if he had picked up something terrible.

Shen Cunfu followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw Gu Yanzhang sitting on the chair behind him, his expression was very calm, and he only nodded slightly, as if this person had given up Guan Gou Xijing's good fat difference, and it was not a big deal to run to him who didn't know the road ahead.

Seeing the behavior of these two people, Shen Cunfu and Gao Ya couldn't help but look at each other.

- What kind of ecstasy soup has been given to people?

- Is this Gong Jiandi crazy?

***

After staying on the ship for a few days, when he saw Gong Jiandi again, Shen Cunfu didn't think he was crazy, but felt that he was going crazy.

It's not that he hasn't followed Shangfeng before, but he has never been like this time, almost from morning to night, without rest.

All the way to the boat, not to mention the distance to measure all the way, from time to time to measure the depth of the water, and when encountering a situation, but also to discuss the solution.

The ship's sailors were divided into groups of two, Shen Cunfu and Gao Ya were separated, and one brought a new sailor who had only been in the capital for a long time. The two of them got on the boat together, obviously living in the same cabin, but in the past five days, except when everyone was discussing together, they only met twice in private, and they didn't even say a few words.
