Aboard.

Cui Shi has taken medicine, and this time it will be a lot better.

"Mother, you eat an orange, I returned to Bianjing from Lin'an before, and I ate this when I fainted on the way, the effect is good, and smelling the orange peel is also refreshing."

Su Junning peeled an orange and handed it over.

Cui Shi nodded, took a broken petal and stuffed it into his mouth.

Half an orange went down to the stomach, and then he spoke.

"How long will it take for us to get to Lin'an, my stomach is tumbling over the river, it's really uncomfortable."

Su Junning held the tea cup and comforted softly.

"I've told the boatman to row quickly, I guess there will be two days left, if my mother is really uncomfortable, why don't we get off the boat at the next pier and rent a carriage to go by land?"

"That's not necessary." Cui Shi shook his head, "It's twice as slow by land as by water, so it's better for me to arrive in Lin'an earlier and rest for a few days."

Su Junning nodded, "Then let's eat something tonight, you haven't eaten much in the past two days, where can your body survive, you have to drink a bowl of white porridge."

didn't want to worry about her daughter, so Cui Shi should go.

"Okay, you go back and rest, I have someone to serve here."

Su Junning got up and went back to his room.

There are a lot of people in their family this time, and they rent a double-decker ship, and the mother and daughter live on the second floor, and there is a cabin on the first floor, where the minions rest and work, and stack things.

It's quite spacious.

Su Junning went back to her room, and she couldn't sleep at this time, so she opened the window to look at the scenery.

In fact, you can't see anything.

After all, this time is no better than the later generations, everywhere is brightly lit, and you can only barely see what is near by the lights on your own ship.

The water surface is dark and dreary, mixed with the cool breeze at night, which looks quite oppressive.

Su Junning looked at it for a while and was not interested.

"Miss, it's better to lie down and rest, this is the best way to pass the time when you go out and sleep." Nan Su said while making the bed.

Su Junning leaned at the window, lacking interest.

"I've been asleep for two days, and I'm really not sleepy right now."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced around, and when he saw the chessboard on the table, he immediately said.

"Why don't you play chess with me, let's play by this window, the breeze is blowing, and we are at ease."

Nan Su pouted reluctantly.

"Miss is good at chess, the slave is a three-legged cat, how can I accompany Miss to play chess, I will keep losing later, and Miss won't be interesting to win."

Seeing her say this, Su Juning thought for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Then you go and call Yingmei and Jichun, the three of you will do it to me alone, if you win, I will go and rest, and make you a new dress, how about it?"

"That's great, of course!" Nan Xu clapped her hands with joy, "Miss, wait, the slave will go."

And when he had finished speaking, he drew the people away with joy.

Although the three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, but helplessly, the chess skills of the three stinkers of Nanxu, Yingmei, and Jichun are too poor, and they can't compare to Su Junning.

So an hour passed in a flash, and the girl still didn't win a game.

Nan Su stomped his feet in sorrow.

"Don't play, don't play, you can't win Miss both horizontally and vertically, it's almost time now, the slave has prepared hot water, Miss washes up and rests."

Su Junning hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her with a smile.

"Hey, one more game is one game, the three of you, I'll let you make three moves, okay? Whether you win or lose this game, I'll go and rest, and I'll make clothes for you."

A few girls knew that the young lady was interested in this play, so they had to accompany her.

Clothes are not clothes, it is naturally good to have new ones, it doesn't matter if there are no new ones, there is no shortage of food and clothing around them with Su Juning.

So the few people set up the chessboard again.

This

After the game, it's really more than halfway through.

promised not to continue playing, Su Junning naturally didn't break her promise, but she was hungry this time, and said that she would eat supper and go to bed again.

Nan Su had no choice but to go down to get it.

Watching Yingmei and Jichun clean up the chessboard, Su Juning got up and walked out of the room and went to the corridor outside to breathe.

It will be the middle of the night, and the moon will be bright even though it is only a round of crooked teeth.

The clear sky and spring night, the bright moonlight, look at it is quite nothing.

However, Su Juning looked at it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be a few small boats floating on the water in the distance.

But she couldn't see clearly, after all, the night was dark.

I just vaguely felt that the boat looked like a slender canoe that could only accommodate four or five people.

It's so late, how can anyone row a canoe up the canal?

A trace of doubt flashed in Su Junning's heart, so she beckoned Yingmei and Jichun to come over and asked them to watch too.

I don't know if it was because the distance was slowly getting in, or if the two girls had better eyesight, they not only saw that there was a canoe, but also that the people sitting on the boat seemed to be sturdy men.

"Miss, what do you think, slaves, they are all moving closer to our ship." Yingmei said in a low voice.

Su Junning frowned slightly, and immediately said, "You guys go to the other side of the boat to have a look."

The two maids nodded, and walked briskly around the cloister to the other side.

When he came back after a short time, he could see a small boat like this approaching on the other side.

Jichun was already a little nervous, and said with a trembling voice.

"There are no fishing boats on this canal, these people are coming strangely, can't they be water bandits?"

Su Junning's heart sank.

It's not impossible.

So he asked Yingmei to go down to the boatman for questioning, after all, this waterway, the boatman is the most familiar.

I didn't expect to get a shocking news.

"The boatman said that there are water bandits on this canal, which are from the area of Dongping County, but we have already left Dongping County so far, it can't be them, right?" Jichun said nervously.

Su Junning's eyes darkened slightly, but she said in a low voice, "Not necessarily."

"We docked in Dongping County, and invited Langzhong there, they were targeted at that time, and they didn't know what to do at night, hurry, go and wake up all the people on the boat, don't light the lights, quietly bring me the guys, be on guard, and then ask the boatman to call a few more guys to help and speed up."

This kind of thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, and it is better to be careful.

Yingmei and Jichun immediately went their separate ways.

As soon as Nan Su cooked a bowl of noodles and served it, he got the news from Su Juning's mouth, and he was so frightened that he almost dropped the noodle bowl.

The two didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to wake up Cui's.

The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became tense, and the mother and daughter sat together and thought about how to deal with the water bandits.

It's just that before they could figure it out, they heard that the boatman sent a guy to report that they had really encountered a water bandit.

As soon as they accelerated, the boats also accelerated and chased forward, and approached in a semi-encircled state, obviously because the comer was not good.

"Madam, Miss, our boat is also equipped with a small boat for escape, which can accommodate six people, while they haven't caught up at this time, you two hurry up and escape in a small boat, those bandits must be coming for the property on the boat, they won't be distracted for a while, it's still too late to go!"

The young man who passed the word yelled urgently.
