Chapter 74: Selling Women

Looking at the turbid and turbulent water of the Yellow River, Meow Meow was a little excited and a little afraid.

Gu Xiuyuan seemed to see her mood, stood beside him, looked at the river, and asked, "Scared?" ”

Meow Meow nodded, turned her head and asked, "Brother Gu, do you know how to water?" ”

Gu Xiuyuan turned his head to look at her, knowing her worries, and said with a smile, "Even if I know how to water, in this vast river, it is really an accident, and it is not up to you and me to be able to survive." ”

"So what?" Meow Meow saw that he had something to say, and asked by the way.

Gu Xiuyuan smiled, "So, we are grasshoppers on a rope, no matter what, we can be regarded as a companion, right?" ”

"Giggles!" Meowth couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, he said solemnly, "Brother Gu, if we really encounter unavoidable dangers along the way, promise me to save our lives!" ”

Gu Xiuyuan's smile faded little by little, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, he only looked at the little girl's big eyes like clear water, so dark, so bright, like a clear spring in the mountains in autumn, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, washing away all the dirt in this world.

The reason why Meow Meow says this is that she still has her own measurement.

Gu Xiuyuan's status is precious, if he really has an accident with himself and his brother, his father and mother will be easily implicated, and when the time comes, it will be the day when the Miao family will never turn over.

On the contrary, if Gu Xiuyuan can go back alive, then it will also be a guarantee for the Miao family in the future.

The two of them have their own thoughts.

Because they are disaster victims, they can't buy tickets for the cabins, they can only buy the lowest kind of passes, and they don't even have a bed.

The group carried their own baggage and went down to the bottom of the cabin.

Meow Meow secretly glanced at Gu Xiuyuan.

I saw that his brows were only slightly furrowed, and then he walked quickly to a corner, turned around and waved at them excitedly, "Dad, mother, come here!" ”

This is the first time Gu Xiuyuan has called it this way along the way, because there are too many people here, not like in the post station and carriage.

As a guard, but was called a father and mother by the master, Song Jun and his wife broke out in a cold sweat, secretly wiped their foreheads, and hurriedly responded, "Hey, hey, here, here, this is coming." ”

Meow Meow couldn't help but smile and hurriedly lowered her head.

Miao Qiang protected his sister, took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go too." ”

When she arrived, Meow Meow found that there was still a flush at the root of Gu Xiuyuan's ear, and she felt even more amused: it turned out that what her father and mother shouted was not as natural as it sounded.

The place Gu Xiuyuan found was really a good place in the full cabin, leaning on the position of the bow of the ship, there was just a bunch of cables next to a big pillar, maybe everyone was too lazy to clean up, so they actually asked them to pick up the cheap.

Song Jun and Miao Qiang made a move, rolled up the wet cable and put it aside, just as a small wall to separate the outside. Gu Xiuyuan found some hay from the side and spread it on the ground, and several people sat down next to each other.

Meow Meow sat in the innermost, followed by Aunt Song, Gu Xiuyuan, Miao Qiang, and Song Jun sitting on the outermost, no one spoke, and they all looked at the people who had already sat in half of the cabin vaguely.

After another half an hour, the people were almost on board, and the hull of the ship began to shake violently, and it was time to start the ship.

Meow Meow is small, a little unstable, almost fell, or Aunt Song is fast-eyed, and suddenly took her in her arms, and she sat firmly.

She smiled at everyone a little embarrassed, then looked up at Aunt Song and said, "Thank you." ”

In the past three days, Aunt Song also fell in love with this soft and beautiful little girl, although she knew that she was not an ordinary seven-year-old girl, but that could not stop Aunt Song's uncontrollable maternal love.

At this time, hearing the little girl softly say thank you, Aunt Song had the intention of teasing her in her heart, touched her head lovingly, and said, "What is polite to my mother, be good!" ”

Meow Teng's face flushed, remembering that he was still laughing at Gu Xiuyuan in his heart just now, and it would be his turn at this moment.

Aunt Song's voice was not controlled at all, so everyone heard it, and they all looked at it in unison, and when they saw Meow Meow's red face, they all smiled, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

Gu Xiuyuan took out an oiled paper bag from the package behind him, opened it, and there were some candied fruits inside.

He first handed the paper bag to Meow Meow's eyes, "Let's eat a candied fruit, be careful of seasickness for a while." ”

Meow Meow felt that he was well prepared, but he didn't expect it to be as careful as he was.

Seriously, after the violent shaking just now, her head was really dizzy, and she thanked her, and picked one up and put it in her mouth.

Instantly, a sweet and sour taste overflowed the mouth.

"Plum!" Meow Meow said in surprise.

You must know that in her previous life, she was an authentic Jiangnan native, and she liked to eat all kinds of candied fruits since she was a child, especially the sweet and sour plums.

She seemed to have forgotten the smell of plums, and now in this dim, damp, and unpleasant cabin, she had some delusions, and returned to the misty and rainy Jiangnan in a trance, and stood under the plum tree, and watched her brother climb the tree, and plucked the one she thought was the best according to her instructions, and then went back to pickle it, put it in the jar, and waited until the winter, and then took it out and ate it.

After Gu Xiuyuan gave it to everyone one by one, he picked up one and put it in his mouth, wrapped the rest, and handed it to Meow Meow, "You can keep the rest, eat one when you feel uncomfortable!" ”

Meow Meow didn't shirk at all this time, and happily took it and put it into the purse around her waist like a baby.

That little look is like a cute little squirrel in the woods, finally getting food, hiding it for fear that others will snatch it.

This scene, everyone who was amused couldn't help laughing.

Meow Meow had a plum in her mouth, leaning on Aunt Song's body, and she was a little drowsy.

Suddenly, she was awakened by the sound of a violent quarrel.

She frowned slightly, knowing that this journey would not be as calm as expected, but she didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and it would only take half a day to sail.

When I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, an unkempt woman, dressed in a single dress, knelt on the ground and hugged a man's thigh and cried, "I beg you, I only have four girls and one child left, you can leave me a way to live, I beg you......"

The woman kowtowed as she spoke.

Beside her, there was a little girl who looked smaller than Meow Meow, very thin, with a pointed chin, sunken cheeks, and only a pair of big black eyes.

The little girl didn't cry, but bit her lip and helped the woman who was almost kicked down by the man.

The man's mouth scolded, "Lao Tzu has raised her for seven years, it's time for her to repay Lao Tzu!" Get the hell out of here! Blocking Lao Tzu's financial road, be careful to sell it with you! ”

With that, he kicked the woman over and dragged the little girl by the collar outside the cabin.
