Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Encounter in Fuzhou
After Lin Wan'er took a sip of water, she continued to whisper to her, "But now, we only have such a way, and it will take two days to arrive in Fuzhou on such a big boat, which means that Xu Laohan has already led us off the path." ”
Ma Mengfu bowed, "We can only go to Fuzhou first, and then change the route to ......"
At this moment, Lin Wan'er made a silent gesture towards her, and then whispered to Ma Mengfu, "The wall has ears, and they appear here, so I don't happen to be so simple." ”
"What do you mean?" Ma Mengfu was a little stunned, but he still didn't know the details, so he asked.
Lin Yun'er is not the kind of person who bullies others and doesn't understand, but she saw her whisper to Ma Mengfu, "This is not an official road, it is near the trail that Xu Laohan said, and this ship looks like it can just pass through the trail, think about it lightly, I'm afraid it's to evade taxes, think about it seriously, I'm afraid these guys are not very simple." ”
"Why?" Ma Mengfu said.
Lin Yun'er leaned her mouth towards Ma Mengfu's ear again, "Didn't you notice that when we came up just now, we only heard Yan Langjun's footsteps?" If those guys weren't practitioners, why should they make some footsteps? But they ......"
Ma Mengfu was shocked when she heard this, daring to love that they had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth!
Lin Wan'er immediately comforted, "But at present, it seems that Yan Langjun is indeed kind to us, as long as we stay in the wing room for the past two days and don't listen to what is going on outside the window, then they will not do anything to us." ”
The so-called ignorant is not guilty, Rao is no matter how curious Lin Wan'er is, it is the right thing to save his life now.
Sure enough, in the past two days, the two of them have never taken half a step out of the wing room, and even the food was personally delivered to the door by Yan Langjun, Yan Langjun wanted to ask the two sisters to come out of the deck to enjoy the scenery, but Lin Yun'er politely refused.
This also cut off Yan Langjun's contact with Ma Mengfu from another angle, which also made Ma Mengfu more and more at ease.
Soon, early this morning, they disembarked at the ferry port in Fuzhou.
When the two walked hand in hand on the flat and solid flat land, they really felt a burst of joy in their hearts, they were floating on the river for most of the month, and they were inevitably tired, but now they were down-to-earth, but they couldn't help but feel very relieved.
Yan Langjun smiled at them and said, "Two ladies, if you haven't found your relatives in the past few days, Yan doesn't mind continuing to ferry them, and our merchant ships can stay in Fuzhou for five days at most." ”
Lin Yun'er took Ma Mengfu's hand and said to Yan Langjunfu, "Thank you Langjun for your kindness, since this is the case, our sisters will leave." ”
Saying that, Lin Yun'er took out a towel from her sleeve and handed it to Ma Mengfu's hand, and said, "Sister, when you enter the city, it's better to cover it." Others were favored by the gentlemen in the city, and they inevitably got into trouble. ”
Ma Mengfu also knew what Lin Wan'er meant, so she obediently took the towel and covered half of her face, and then said obediently, "My sister knows." ”
In fact, in Kyoto, the folk customs are relatively open, except for shopping on the street to wear a power fence, in the nobles of the party is not to wear any covering, a woman is a woman, do not have to taboo, come, the party inevitably to see the elders, so it seems childish and impolite.
After thanking Yan Langjun, Lin Yun'er turned around with Ma Mengfu and walked towards the land of Fuzhou.
Fuzhou is a huge place,
There are three counties, ten towns, and countless small villages, and the entrance of this square gate in front of you is the largest county in Fuzhou, called Shuyang County.
After walking through the gate of Shuyang County, Ma Mengfu asked Lin Yun'er in a low voice, "Yun'er, where should we go now?" ”
Lin Yun'er stopped, looked in the direction of the ferry, and then said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then make another plan after five days." ”
Ma Mengfu nodded as well.
Fuzhou is not far from Kyoto, the fast horse is also three days away, the slow train is at most seven days, so the folk customs here are still similar to Kyoto, there are also many square cities, although this Shuyang County is the largest county in Fuzhou, but this scale is much smaller than Kyoto.
After walking on the street for about a few hours, they inquired from the street and learned that all the inns in Shuyang County were located in two places, one near the ferry and the other in a square in the county seat, which was convenient to manage and prevented gangsters from outside.
The two of them found a very ordinary inn in Yining Fang and stayed, the name of the inn is Yanyun, the furnishings inside are extremely simple and elegant, the proprietress of the inn is also very kind, see the two girls who live in the hotel, and see one of them covering his face, the other behaves dignified, looking at the appearance of a big family, it seems more and more respectful.
That's why they were arranged by the proprietress to have two upper rooms.
When they found the inn, it was already lunch time, and the Yanyun Hotel was similar to other inns, they all went upstairs to the guest room, and the hall was a restaurant, so they all ate in the hall. After lunch, Lin Yun'er went out with Ma Mengfu.
Although they didn't really come to look for relatives this time, Lin Yun'er was still thinking about Xu Laohan, he came to Fuzhou to see his wife and children, but he was affected by her and died.
Fortunately, Lingzhi put a lot of silver in her package, and she also took five taels of silver from it, wanting to give it to Xu Laohan's wife and children.
The old man said that his wife and children lived near the ferry, so it took them a few more hours to walk to the ferry where they got off the boat, Lin Yun'er looked at the place where they got off the boat, but saw that Yan Langjun's passenger boat was still there, and she couldn't help frowning in her heart.
Immediately, she and Ma Mengfu began to search for people on the ferry pier.
Fuzhou is not far from Kyoto, so the official accent spoken by the people on the streets and alleys is also correct and round, Lin Yuner and Ma Mengfu can speak the official dialect, so they soon made friends with those boatmen who rowed small boatmen, and after several inquiries, they asked where Xu Laohan's home was.
According to the instructions of the boatmen, Lin Yun'er and Ma Mengfu quickly found the small courtyard of Xu Laohan's house, but the courtyard gate was locked, and looking at the rusty stains on the lock, it can be seen that they have been gone for a long time.
At this moment, a woman passed by the door of the Xu family courtyard with a basket, and Lin Yun'er immediately grabbed the woman, stuffed a copper plate, and asked, "May I ask this aunt, dare to ask where the mother and son living in this courtyard are now?" ”
The woman saw that Lin Yun'er stuffed a copper plate into her, and her tone was polite, so she said, "Two ladies, the old woman still advises you to leave quickly, this kid didn't know what disease he contracted a few years ago, so he was driven to the upper village." ”
Ma Mengfu was puzzled and asked, "Where is Uemura?" ”
The woman said, "It's a place where cannibalism doesn't spit out bones!" Ladies don't inquire anymore, it's still important to save your life! Then the woman was terrified, and disappeared from sight with her basket in her hand.
