When we got up early in the morning, Xiao Zhuo and I had some breakfast at the inn, and Xiao Zhuo left the carriage at the inn and gave them some silver to take care of it.

Yesterday, I told him that he wanted to take the waterway, but he was reluctant at first, saying that he had promised Mr. Zhang to escort me all the way.

Later, because he couldn't help me, he agreed to accompany me all the way by water.

The beautiful scenery of Yangzhou City was as early as when I was very young, I heard my father say, Li Bai's poems also mentioned Yangzhou City--- the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, but the Yangtze River skyline is seen. And Huang Shen's "Weiyang Bamboo Branches" describes the spring scenery of Yangzhou City so that people are not drunk and self-indulgent--- life only loves Yangzhou to live, the spring air of the weeping poplars on the shore is scented, the garden flowers are dressed up leisurely, and the green and red skirt by the pool reflects the water.

Although it has now passed the spring of March, Yangzhou City still makes people forget to return. It was only a path here before, and I had never set foot in it. Now, I want to enjoy the scenery from Yangzhou all the way south.

We stayed in Yangzhou for three days, and early on the fourth day, we boarded a luxurious ship and headed all the way to Suzhou.

There are three floors on the ship, the ground floor is where the ship's owner and his men sleep, the second floor is the dining place, and the third floor is the guest room.

It has been more than a month since I left Anyang City, and I am in a much more cheerful mood when I am boating on the river these days.

It was late at night, much cooler than during the day, but I had never liked the heat, and I still couldn't sleep after tossing and turning on the bed, so I got up and dressed and prepared to go to the board to breathe.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and I saw that the surface of the river was blown by the wind, and the river was rippling and rippling.

As far as the eye can see, the whole river is rippling with blue waves, and the boat is moving slowly, sometimes faster, sometimes much slower.

The sound of the flute sounded slowly, making me withdraw my gaze from the river, and in the quiet of the night, the sound of the flute was like a heavenly sound, pleasant to the ear. Unexpectedly, there are such capable people in this world who can play such beautiful music.

At this time, I was attracted by the sound of the flute, and I couldn't help but go in the direction where the sound came from.

From a distance, I saw a figure standing in the bow of the ship, and by the light of the fire on the ship, I could see that it was a man. The shoulders are spacious, the figure is slender, and the back gives me some familiar feelings.

I couldn't help but let go of my footsteps and slowly walked to a position two or three meters away from him, but he seemed to have noticed me earlier, and the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and he turned his back and said softly: "The girl walks so cautiously behind her, I don't know if there is anything wrong?" ”

I was still thinking about how he didn't turn around and knew that I was a girl, but he came back to his senses in an instant, this voice... This voice...

He turned around in a panic, his whole heart hung up, and he lowered his voice and replied to him: "The son has never turned back, how do you know that I am a girl?" ”

"Such a light action is not like the behavior that a man should have, so I took the liberty to ask the girl, and asked the girl not to be surprised!" His words were soft, but they lingered in my ears.

"Don't get in the way, Childe's flute is very beautiful, so I'm curious, come and take a look." My throat was still very low, and a cold sweat was already breaking out on my forehead, and I didn't know why I was so afraid.

"It would be a pity if there was no sound in the quiet of the night. Therefore, it will be a whim in the next week, and I hope not to make a noise until the girl rests. ”

I don't know if he turned around to look at me now, but at this time I didn't want to stay for long, and hurriedly replied: "It was I who was too presumptuous to disturb Childe's Yaxing, and I retired first..."

Only then did I realize that I had just said this sentence and returned to my usual voice.

No more thoughts, I panicked and ran back to my room.

The moment I closed the door, I felt a little more relaxed.

Tell yourself over and over again, impossible, impossible.

Zhuangzi is now the emperor of the state of Qi, and the court is busy with political affairs, how could he come to Yangzhou. The mood is still so elegant, unlike the one I once knew. However, that voice was exactly the same as Zhuangzi's voice. Besides, he seemed to hear something unusual about my voice.

I must not let him see me, for if he does, I wonder what unforeseen things will happen.

It seems that this waterway will not be able to go, and when the ship docks in Zhenjiang, we will have to get off the boat.

One night, again sleepless.

As soon as the day dawned, I got up and packed up all the salutes, and when the boat docked at noon, I disembarked with Xiao Zhuo and took another boat. After a few years of separation, I still have lingering feelings about Zhuangzi's detention of me in the country.

Although he treats me well, he will make me lose my freedom again like a flowing cloud.

Even though I may think too much about it, I can't erase the fact that he and Liuyun are the kings of a country.

Because I was afraid that I would meet him again, I haven't stepped out of the room since I returned to the wing room last night, and I even asked Xiao Zhuo to bring breakfast to the room.

After eating breakfast tremblingly, Xiao Zhuo came into the house to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw my uneasy face, he twisted up a face, "Sister, what's wrong, it seems to be preoccupied?" ”

Looking at his puzzled expression, I hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's nothing... Xiao Zhuo, I'm probably a little seasick, after arriving in Zhenjiang at noon today, I want to get off the boat and rest for a few days, let's take the next boat instead! ”

Hearing me say seasickness, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, "Sister seasick? That's not good, we have to sit on the boat for seven or eight days in a row, if we get dizzy all the way, then my sister's body will fall apart. ”

I bowed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Then let's wait for the boat to dock, and then take the next boat, and my sister can also rest in Zhenjiang for a few days." ”

I smiled and sighed softly.

At noon, the sun was very big, and after the boat docked in Zhenjiang, Xiao Zhuo and I hurriedly got off the boat.

Although the owner of the boat was puzzled, he acted indifferent, for fear that we would ask him to return the rest of the silver, so he hurriedly said: "Although you two bought a ticket to Suzhou, you will not return the silver when you get off the boat halfway." ”

"Our sister didn't ask you to return the money, what are you talking about!" Xiao Zhuo threw a sentence dissatisfied, and the shipowner glanced at us and didn't speak again.

I was already weak in my heart, so I couldn't care about anything else, "Xiao Zhuo, let's get off the boat quickly." I urged.

The moment the lotus foot stepped on the land, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

"Sister, I'll take you to see the doctor!" Xiao Zhuo opened his mouth first.

I shook my head, "No, get off the boat, I'm much better, I'll be fine after a while." ”

He nodded, "Then let's find an inn to stay in first and take the next big ship to Suzhou." ”

I bowed my head and agreed, it was good to settle down in Zhenjiang City temporarily, just to calm down.

For several days, there were no ships docked in Zhenjiang, and I only learned that there were not many ships to Suzhou, and sometimes if the weather was bad, I couldn't take the boat for ten days and a half months. In the past two days, I have always been sleepy, and I can't lift much energy, so I just rest for a few more days before going on the road.

The weather is too hot, and my appetite is very bad, sometimes I eat a bite or two of food, and I don't want to use it anymore.

Although Zhenjiang City is not as prosperous and beautiful as Yangzhou, it is also a beautiful place. Perennial road, Jiangnan produces beautiful women, along the way, it really deserves its name.

I started to feel sleepy early in the morning, and I felt dizzy after reading some books, thinking that maybe it would be good to hold my forehead and recuperate.

Xiao Zhuo happily came back from outside, ran to my room, and when he saw that I was uncomfortable, he smiled, "What's wrong with my sister, is it uncomfortable?" ”

I waved my hand, "It's out of the way, probably because of the weather, it'll be fine in a few days." ”

Only then did he relax his nervous expression, "I just went to the dock to ask, and there is a boat to Suzhou tomorrow." But my sister looks like she's not physically strong, do you want to recuperate for a few more days? ”

I glanced at him, smiled lightly, and said, "Tomorrow!" It's okay. ”

After falling asleep at night, I had a long dream. I dreamed of flowing clouds, Ziqian. I dreamed of Haoxuan, Yulan, and Xiyun.

When I woke up, tears soaked the pillow.

I haven't dreamed for a long time, I remember when I was still in the palace, I wanted to dream of them but I couldn't dream anything, and now I don't want to, instead...

Now there is no one around me who knows me anymore. As Ziqian said, there can be no more Xiyun by my side.

I got up before dawn to catch the boat, and the whole person was still listless and weak, and I got off the boat in Suzhou half a month ago, and it has been like this.

It was already very difficult for me to stand at the dock, looking at the people coming and going in front of me, as well as Xiao Zhuo's busy figure, my spirit began to be in a trance.

Shake your head vigorously and try to look good and keep your brain clear.

After Xiao Zhuo finished all the matters of boarding the ship, he ran to me, only glanced at me, and frowned, "Sister, why is your face so pale, isn't it very uncomfortable?" ”

I still tried my best, and I was already extremely uncomfortable, but I didn't want him to worry, "Don't get in the way, just wait until you get on the boat and rest for a while." ”

"Every time you say this, it's good to rest for a while, but in the past half a month, not only have you not been better, but it has become a little serious, let's go to see the doctor and wait until you are well before leaving." His tone began to become anxious, "Master Zhang said, your body is not very good, and you must be taken care of by me." If you make a mistake, Master Zhang will blame you. Besides, Xiao Zhuo saw that his sister was so uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable. ”

Squeezing out a smile, I was about to say that I was okay again, but as soon as I raised my hand, my eyes began to be hazy, and my brain felt dizzy and sleepy. It was as if he had lost his strength, his legs went limp, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, a pair of strong arms caught me, and before I could lose consciousness, a familiar cry came from my ears: "Song Liu..."
