Xue Rui snorted coldly again, but he didn't look back, and left here directly, he had already checked carefully, there was nothing unusual in these places, and there was nothing he wanted.

Li Hanning glanced around after he left, Xue Rui had been here for a longer time than himself, and he hadn't found what he wanted, so she naturally wouldn't have anything to gain tonight.

There have been no problems with the ship so far, which means that there will be problems with the only port call, and it seems that it will have to wait another day or two.

She has been out for a long time, and she has to go back early.

Although I didn't find out what kind of goods this ship smuggled today, but I accidentally bumped into Xue Rui's dress, which seems to be an unexpected gain, it seems that some people are even the same Xue family, and the people inside are not in harmony, maybe when she returns to Luoyang City in the future, this will come in handy.

When Li Hanning went back, the candle she deliberately placed on the side of the door against the door was still there, and the scratches on it were exactly the same as when she left, it seemed that Chuzhou had indeed not woken up during this period, so Li Hanning was relieved to lie down on the wooden board again and sleep with clothes.

The second day of work was no different from the first day, except that it was the people who isolated Chuzhou, and now they seemed to know that Li Hanning was in the same room with him, and they also isolated her together.

She originally took the meal and wanted to walk over and say a few words to the boatmen, but those boatmen scattered when they saw her coming from a distance, and those people were still muttering about Chuzhou and fools while walking, Li Hanning guessed the truth of the matter, probably because she was assigned to the room in Chuzhou, and those people isolated Chuzhou, and by the way, they were isolated with her.

But Li Hanning didn't care in his heart, anyway, it was more spacious to stand here alone, at least it was so noisy when there were not many people.

On the contrary, Chu Zhou, who happened to see this scene from a distance, guessed something, and walked over with an apologetic face:

"Li Han, I saw them all walk away just now, did they exclude you?"

Li Hanning looked at him and said, "No, I never care much about what others think, and there is no such thing as isolation or isolation." ”

She never thought of blending in, Li Hanning got on this ship just to investigate the smuggling, and when this matter is over, she will no longer have anything to do with this ship.

What if you are isolated? They were originally people on different roads, and Li Hanning didn't care about these at all.

But Chu Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, he could see it clearly, he remembered that when they got on the boat yesterday, Li Hanning was at least able to talk to a few other crew members, talking and laughing, but today they clearly deliberately avoided her.

"It's me who is not good, and since I can remember, it seems that anyone who has a relationship with me will be unlucky."

Li Hanning was stunned when he heard this, when he said this, it didn't seem like he was joking at all, Chu Zhou's eyes were always very real, he was really frustrated and apologetic.

Li Hanning suddenly felt a little unbearable in her heart, this was not his problem in the first place, so she rarely comforted her so patiently:

"Don't think so, I think you're very good, how others think it's someone else's business, you can't expect everyone in this world to be a good person, I don't care what others think, if I know you, I'm going to be isolated by them, then for me, knowing them is not as good as knowing you, if you have to choose one side between you and them, you are more important to me than them."

Chu Zhou was stunned when he heard this, since he had been on this boat since he could remember, it was the first time someone had told him such a thing, even the Yanyun envoy who picked him up had never said this to him, as if all the people would only say that he was a fool and stay away from him.

He was very happy in his heart, he never seemed to be so happy in his life, but he didn't know how to express it, he had heard that friends had a similar relationship before, and he cautiously tried to say to the person in front of him:

"So, we're friends too, aren't we?"

Li Hanning nodded, and suddenly felt a little pity for him in her heart, but she also knew that people like Chuzhou should not need her pity, she didn't forget that her purpose of approaching him at the beginning was to take away the brand on Chuzhou's body so that she could get off the boat safely.

But at least for this moment, they are friends.

Li Hanning nodded and said, "Of course it's a friend." ”

Chu Zhou smiled, lowered his head and used the chopsticks in his hand to sandwich a few pieces of untouched meat in his bowl into Li Hanning's bowl:

"This is for you, I see that you are so thin, you eat more."

Li Hanning looked at the extra braised pork in the bowl and stopped talking.

He is indeed a fool, and at this point, it seems that others are not wrong.

When Li Hanning walked over to return the bowl, Xue Rui happened to walk to the deck, in fact, he had seen this scene from a distance just now, but he didn't step forward because he listened to them, but Chuzhou knew Xue Rui and knew that everyone on the ship respected him very much, so he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and saluted him:

"Xue Gongzi."

Xue Rui's gaze was still on Li Hanning's body, and he asked, "How long have you known him?" ”

Chu Zhou hadn't even reacted to who he was that Xue Rui asked, and after being stunned for a moment, he followed Xue Rui's gaze and realized that he was talking about Li Han, and he calculated the time carefully:

"It's been two days."

Xue Rui was a little surprised, because those crew members had just been recruited two days ago: "You have only known each other for two days and are you so familiar?" ”

Chu Zhou looked at Xue Rui in front of him and frowned and wanted to speak, so he didn't dare to talk again, just stood quietly aside.

Xue Rui glanced at him, and naturally recognized Li Han as the masked man that night with those eyebrows, his martial arts skills were not low, and the purpose of mixing into the cargo ship warehouse in the middle of the night was not simple, and his identity here was just a boatman, and he met Chuzhou in less than two days, so he naturally had other thoughts, but there was naturally no need to let Chuzhou know about these.

"I don't think that person is simple, you listen to my advice, stay away from him in the next few days."

He said these words for the good of Chuzhou.

But for so long in Chuzhou, Li Han was the only one who was willing to be his friend, and they were going to get off the ship in a few days, he was really a little reluctant in his heart, he used to listen to the words of the Xue family and the salt envoy so much, he didn't listen to it once, it shouldn't be an exaggeration.

Xue Rui slowly walked to the deck on the side, there was a breeze on the river, the beautiful scenery on the riverbank was in full view, and all the good rivers and mountains of their Great Zhou were everywhere, he was about to get off the boat today, but he couldn't say whether he was happy or depressed at the moment.

Xue Rui should have been happy that he didn't find anything, after all, this ship belonged to his father, and if something really happened, Xue Fu could not escape the blame, but he always vaguely felt in his heart that there would always be problems in Xue Mansion, and felt that his father wanted him to stay out of the matter, and since he couldn't find anything out of the matter if he stayed here, it was better to get off the boat first to avoid startling the snake.

The ship slowly stopped on the shore in the afternoon, and the people who came to move the goods around were already waiting there with the goods, Li Hanning noticed that Xue Rui got off the ship at this time, and the goods were not carried by ordinary boatmen like them, but were put by someone in the place where the goods were stored.

It's obviously just a small box, but there are two people carrying each box, and they use a flat pole, but looking at the weight, it is not difficult to see that there is a problem.

Their ship is going to Luoyang in a day's journey, and it seems that they will have to check it out tonight.

Li Hanning was counting the time, so it was inevitable that she would be a little distracted when she was working in the afternoon, and one of the stewards noticed this, causing her and the other lazy boatmen to have no dinner to eat.

"You guys are hungry, and tomorrow you will behave like this, and tomorrow there will be no food."

The boatmen had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Li Hanning's mind was not on these meals, and she didn't feel anything if she didn't eat one or two meals, so she went back to the room first, but it was a little strange that Chu Zhou didn't come back to the room tonight.

Only then did Li Hanning learn from the side that it was Chuzhou's turn to patrol tonight.

It was already midnight and three watches, Li Hanning still took advantage of the night to go to the place where the goods were transported during the day, and she also opened several boxes one after another, and checked that there was no big problem with the goods inside.

This is even stranger.

Just as Li Hanning was about to leave, he accidentally stepped on it, and the flat poles they used to transport goods during the day, these flat poles were originally made of bamboo poles, which should be hollow logically, but this was solid, and this flat pole was too thick, and after they finished transporting the goods, they didn't take these things away, but left them on the ship.

It turns out that the stuff is hidden here.

Li Hanning found out where the smuggled salt was, so she naturally decided that it was better not to startle the snake, and it was Chuzhou who was on duty tonight, so she returned the same way and returned to her room.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhou was in the room when he came back.

The door creaked open.

Chu Zhou sat on the bed and looked up, facing Li Hanning's gaze, Chu Zhou took the first step and asked:

"Li Han, where did you go just now?"

She obviously heard that Chuzhou was patrolling tonight, and she probably wouldn't come back before dawn. She had also confirmed that the patrols were indeed going to patrol all night.

But what Li Hanning didn't expect was that something happened at this time, Chuzhou actually came back early, and on the first day they got on the ship, they knew that the boatmen here were not allowed to go anywhere at night.

Now that she has been caught, how can she explain to him where she just went?
