Return to Beijing

When I came back, I saw that Ah Liu was talking with a man in a short shirt in the store, and when he saw the rivers and lakes coming, Ah Liu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly introduced the man on the opposite side to the rivers and lakes, and explained the situation, and it turned out that the man's caravan was from Xiaochun City, selling furs to the capital. After the two sides met, Jianghu handed over the matter to Ah Liu, and went upstairs with his things.

In the evening, after the rivers and lakes were put away, they went to the backyard to look at the horses that had worked hard all the way, and finally gritted their teeth and sold them to the inn at a friendly price, and told the young man to take good care of them. Don't kill and eat horse meat.

During dinner, Aliu told Jianghu and Lausanne about the caravan. The money I asked for was a bit much, and it was safe enough to hear that the situation was safe enough and reliable Lausanne said. Then he turned his face to look at the rivers and lakes.

"You see, it's spring" Why are they going to buy furs, isn't fur cheap this season, it seems that this trip is not profitable. Ah Liu heard the doubts of the rivers and lakes, smiled and said: Sister you don't know, at the end of this year, the Tubo country will send envoys to pay homage to the emperor of our dynasty, presumably at that time, it is bound to compare the fur of Tubo with that of our country. Now this fur is expensive. They planned to set off tomorrow from the Qingshui River in Wading City, and go all the way south along the river. When you arrive in Kyoto, you can save a lot of time. If we go, I'll just say it.

Lausanne blinked and looked at the rivers and lakes. Rest early today and we'll leave tomorrow, Lausanne and I are still pretending to be husband and wife, and Aliu is still a younger brother, so it's more convenient to do things. Let's all rest early, Jianghu said.

It was raining continuously, and the rivers and lakes that had been stagnant in the wading city for more than three months set out on the journey again, and the sailors worshipped the river god by the river, and the chickens, ducks and fish poured into the river one by one, and burned the yellow watch. The trumpet was shouted, and the sail was set sail.

They were placed in two rooms adjacent to the warehouse. I can meet the sailors who are guarding the cargo every day, and I can occasionally say hello to them. The only thing to be thankful for is that the caravan turned a blind eye to the fact that they were going to open their own stoves alone, as long as the money was in place. Still very talkative.

The first two days of the downriver trip south were not so good, and Ah Liu didn't seem to expect that he was seasick and vomited in the dark. Jianghu had to take time out to take care of Ah Liu. For the next few days, Aliu wrapped himself in a cloak every day, holding a teapot in his hand. It seems to be much better than the previous two days, and it is a small face with a white face. It seems that some time ago, a few catties of meat fell again.

On this day, Lausanne prefers to stand outside and enjoy the scenery along the coast, maybe all the way to the south, the scenery along the coast is lush, the beautiful clear and cool on both sides of the river just after the rainy season, occasionally there are houses built by the river, the shore is located, layer upon layer, it seems that you can also see the figure of children playing along the play. Even the air has become much more comfortable.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the stern of the boat, and the sound became more and more noisy, as if someone was trying to fight. The sailors on the ship also ran over one after another to take a look. Jianghu and Lausanne both glanced at each other, and they also walked into the source of the sound, only to see a woman in red in a strong suit on the bow of the boat, looking at her angrily, dragging the corner of the young man in green clothes in her hand to prevent it from falling into the river. The young man in green clothes sat on the bow of the boat, one foot had already stepped out, and he looked at death silently.

I'm sorry, let me go, I'm going to die. Someone shouted to push aside the crowd, walked quickly to the side of the boy in Tsing Yi, and dragged the boy in Tsing Yi into the boat with both hands and arms. After lifting the young man in Tsing Yi into the boat, the man who came later sat on the deck. I picked up my sleeve and wiped the sweat on my head, but I don't know if I was scared or anxious.

Here is about the person in charge of the ship came, and the rivers and lakes recognized that this was the man who negotiated the price with Aliu that day. Before the person could get to him, the man hurriedly shouted: I heard that someone was going to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river? Isn't this harming everyone's business and putting our innocent lives on our backs? How can it be so bad to win people's hearts, I want to see who it is.

The boy who dragged people had just finished wiping his sweat, and when he heard it, the person who heard it came and hurriedly stood up. looked at the woman in red beside him at a loss.

At this time, someone on the sail of the overheard ship shouted loudly: Go and tell the sixth master that there is an official ship passing not far away. The river is too narrow, and we have to change the course to make way. Let the guests go in to save a while and delay everyone's work.

The walking man hadn't seen the boy jumping into the river yet, and when he heard the shouts from above, he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Everyone is in place and working." Don't bump into the nobles in front of you, we don't have enough heads to cut off. When the people were clean, the young man in green clothes stood up tremblingly holding on to the railing, looked at the rivers and lakes and Luosang and them, didn't look at the woman in red beside him, and walked straight to the cabin. Hey~ You wait for me. The woman in red also followed behind with a black face holding her arms, and she could see that this woman didn't look very easy to mess with.

Going upstream, the weather is not very sunny at this time. It took dozens of days to come out of the capital. Xie Zhuoyan stood on the railing, pinching it in his hand and taking the creed from the carrier pigeon. Looking through the turbulent river as if looking from afar, I saw three or five passenger boats in the distance changing course to the next tributary. Liufeng came out of the cabin, handed the token in his hand to Xie Zhuoyan and said, The matter has been done. Just waiting for the big fish to take the bait this time. By the time it is time to wade through the city, there should be news in Shengjing.

The farther south went, the warmer the weather became, and there was a rare hot day at noon, and the fleet sailed south again after resting for a day in a nearby town, all the way to Shengjing City.

On this day, Jianghu borrowed the ship's kitchenette to stew a tonic soup for Lausanne. The little boy who worked in the small kitchen was happy to see the rivers and lakes busy opening his small mouth with two missing front teeth and laughing. After entering the rivers and lakes, he hurriedly gave up his position and consciously squatted in front of the stove. raised his little face, blinked his eyes and looked at the rivers and lakes, just waiting for the rivers and lakes to give an order, and began to start the fire.

Jianghu touched the two small bulges on Huanxi's head, and took out two pieces of brown halva from Huanxi's head like a trick. The two little hands of joy grabbed the arms of the rivers and lakes, and the black grape-like eyes stared at the brown halva, which seemed to be surprised and seemed to be confused, and blinked to look at the rivers and lakes. In the end, he happily clapped his little hands. Ahhh
