On a passenger ship without much decoration, Ding Baozhen, alias Uncle Zhihuang, was lying on a low plan on the second floor, writing his thoughts and experiences along the way.

It was already dark, and his wife, Sun, lit a candle and placed it on the candlestick in front of him.

Then he sat down opposite, embroidered a handkerchief, and the two chatted, and after a while, his granddaughter Xiaofu ran up from outside, sweating on her forehead.

"Grandpa, come down quickly......"

Ding Baozhen said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, didn't I tell you!" ”

"The boatman fished up a person, it's Sister Ji!" Xiaofu gasped and said.

"Is it the little friend you met in the county before, sir?" Sun asked.

"That's her......" Flor responded.

"How did she fall overboard, let's go, let's go and see?" Ding Baozhen stood up and walked quickly outside.

"Grandma, I'll hold you." Xiaofu obediently held Sun's arm, ready to follow.

There are lanterns hanging in the hallway, but you can't see farther.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, the two family members escorted them, and before the group reached the downstairs, they heard Ji Suniang's cry on the deck, "There are also Xiaoli and Xiaotuanzi...... You salvage it again...... Please! ”

Wrapped in the cloak that Jeff had given her, she leaned on the railing, looking at the dark water and begging for the boatmen beside her.

Ding Baozhen walked a few steps quickly, came to her side and asked, "It's okay in the afternoon, what happened?" ”

Ji Suniang just lay on the fence in one breath, and at this moment she was already weak, she sat on the deck, crying and saying: "She is still in the water, save her." ”

Sun took a step forward, pointed to the mother-in-law next to him and said, "Take her to the young lady's room, take a hot bath, and change this dress first." ”

Then she half-squatted down and said: "Miss Ji, I am Xiaofu's grandmother, don't panic, go with your mother-in-law to change clothes first, this is arranged by my master." ”

The mother-in-law took a few steps forward and bent down to help Ji Suniang up.

Ding Baozhen looked approvingly at Sun's actions.

Ji Suniang is a woman after all, it is best for her wife to come forward, she just let her granddaughter not panic when she encounters something, but when it comes to herself, she almost broke her work.

Watch them go upstairs.

Ding Baozhen beckoned and called the boatman who had salvaged Ji Suniang before, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The boatman bent down respectfully and shouted, "Lord Ding." ”

"The little one likes night fishing, and just cast a net, which is very heavy, and I thought I had caught a big fish, but I ended up catching a person."

"The little lady happened to be on the deck watching the little ones catch fish, and she recognized her, which is really a bodhisattva's blessing."

Ding Baozhen looked at the vast water and said, "How can she, a weak woman, swim all the way here?" ”

"Back to the adult, when the little one just caught her, she was closed, I guess she was lucky, when she fell into the water, she was floating on her back on the water......"

"It was washed all the way to our waterway."

The boatman sighed, "This woman is really fateful. ”

The passenger ship did not stop, it was already a miracle to be able to catch Ji Suniang, as for Qiu Li, Ding Baozhen's face was marked with a trace of sentimentality, probably because it was more auspicious.

He looked at the direction of Junye County from afar, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, could it be that after he left, there was a great change there?

Twenty minutes later, Ji Suniang, whose hair was wet and had changed into dry clothes, was taken to the study.

Ding Baozhen asked in a deep voice: "You calm down and tell me word for word." ”

Ji Suniang started talking about taking Qiu Li home by herself, except for Qiu Li's magic weapon, she didn't say anything else.

Ding Baozhen touched his beard, he looked at Ji Suniang's panicked appearance, and thought in his heart, she didn't need to lie about this kind of thing, besides, it was only a day's boat ride from the provincial capital to Junye County, and the news there would soon reach the government office.

"You stay with Xiaofu for the past few days, remember to wear a veil when you go out, I will tell the people to keep their mouths shut, since they are here for your recipe, and there is such a big fight, there must be the next action......"

Xiaofu at the door poked her head out, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Sister Ji!" ”

"In the future, you can't call her Sister Ji, just call the eldest lady." Ding Baozhen instructed.

"Okay, Sister Ji will be the eldest lady in the future, then I will be the second lady!"

Xiaofu's face just showed a hint of joy, and suddenly thought that the eldest lady's father had been killed, and the life and death of Sister Qiuli, whom she had just met, was also uncertain, so she immediately put away her smile, and put on a baby face with a sad face again.

Ding Baozhen was distressed, reached out and patted her head and said, "Take your eldest lady back to the room to rest, I'll be home early tomorrow morning." ”

At night, there are not many boats passing on the river.

In the middle of the night, an official ship finally caught up with Ding Baozhen's passenger ship, and then overtook him and went straight to Fucheng.

In the room on the second floor of the official ship, Wang Demao's body shrunk into a ball, and the scene before his death almost destroyed his spirit, but fortunately he left a small teleportation circle on the ship in advance.

never thought that the things I arranged casually saved my life at a critical time.

He shrunk back on the couch, cold sweat on his forehead kept pouring out, his face was pale, and his body trembled slightly......

He urged the sergeant to hurry up.

There are some life-saving things in his house.

In the other room of the bedroom, Chen Shouye was tied up, he was brought by the cousin of the Ji family in the afternoon, and when he arrived, he was tied up and thrown in the room.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, he was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back.

Other than that, it's Degong, who has a ball of gauze stuffed into his mouth, and his hands and feet are trapped tightly, when his face is flushed.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a young girl walked in with a lamp, which illuminated the boy's face.

"Chen Shouye, our son-in-law plans to ask you to do some things after arriving in the provincial capital, of course, it is a good thing that others can't ask for, but you have to be obedient, can you do it?"

The girl was Wang Gongzi's personal maid Lan Cao, and she looked at Chen Shouye's face after she finished speaking.

Chen Shouye's head nodded quickly.

Lancao reached out and removed the gauze from his mouth.

"Grandma, can you let me go out first?"

His face turned a little red, and a young man's face was sometimes more important than anything else.

"Poof" Lancao covered her mouth and laughed, "You wait, I'll untie your hands and feet first." ”

She pulled out a dagger from her calf, and after swinging it at Chen Shouye a few times, the rope on his body broke in response.

"Behind the screen is the Gong bucket, you go quickly, you will get off the boat in a while." Lancao straightened up and said.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Shouye's shadow ran away, and then he snapped and fell next to Gong Bucket, and said with a hint of crying: "My feet are numb." ”
