Chapter 179 Beautiful Brother
Early the next morning, everyone abandoned their cars and boarded the ship.
Just after boarding the boat, some people began to get seasick. Fortunately, the older Mrs. Gu, her husband, and several children did not have any reaction. The others were okay. Even if they had reactions, they would not be unable to stand still.
Only Zhang Yunniang, although she was seasick on the first day, did not react much. On the second day, her seasickness worsened and she found it difficult to even get out of bed.
Niu Niu was not seasick, but she looked pale and anxious when Zhang Yunniang was seasick.
"My dear, don't worry. We'll take a boat to Beijing and we'll arrive soon. Maybe by the time we get to the next pier, my mother won't be so dizzy." Zhang Yuniang endured the discomfort in her heart and kept comforting her daughter.
Niuniu put her little face next to Zhang Yunniang's face, trying to make Zhang Yunniang feel better in this way.
Gu Mingda on the side felt uncomfortable seeing his wife like this, and advised him: "You should sleep for a while, maybe you won't get seasick when you fall asleep."
Zhang Yunniang felt strangely at peace in her heart as she leaned against her fragrant and soft daughter.
Niuniu reached out and patted her mother gently, and sang songs to coax the child to sleep.
Zhang Yunniang slowly fell into sleep.
After Gu Mingda saw his wife sleeping soundly with his own eyes, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and asked others to help take care of Zhang Yunniang. He turned to find someone to ask about the solution to seasickness.
But Niu Niu immediately followed, grabbed Gu Mingda's hand, and said softly: "Dad, I'll go with you."
Gu Mingda thought of her daughter's good luck and nodded, but said specifically: "My dear, if you can find it, forget it. If you can't find it, let's not force it. If your mother is really uncomfortable, the worst we can do is to take the land route again. It's just Come to Beijing slowly, we are not in a hurry, you know?"
Gu Mingda said this because he did not want his daughter to use her special abilities.
Niuniu nodded obediently and said, "Niuniu is obedient and doesn't want to worry my parents."
Gu Mingda touched her little head and then picked up the child.
In Dengzhou before, the Gu family also bought some plums and other foods, but this antiemetic that was effective for other people had no effect at all on Zhang Yunniang.
This boat is the king of boats in Dengzhou boating industry. It can carry 500 people at a time. Gu Mingda feels that he can always find some seasickness remedies.
But it is a pity that the solutions the boatmen gave him were just a few familiar methods, which have long been proven to be useless to Zhang Yunniang.
"Hey, when we get to the next pier, we will take the land route instead." Gu Mingda said to his daughter.
Although he said it didn't matter if he changed his route, it would be slower to get to Beijing by land, and he might not be able to make it in time for the examination.
If you cannot participate in this examination, you will have to wait another three years.
Niu Niu also heard adults mention this matter. She understood the importance of taking the water route, and Zhang Yunniang also understood it, so Zhang Yunniang never mentioned the matter of changing the route.
"Dad, the boatmen have no solution, let's ask others? Ask other guests? Ask one by one, maybe we can find a good solution." Niu Niu suggested.
Gu Mingda and others lived in a superior room, and he was not used to disturbing others, but for the sake of his wife, he held Niuniu in his arms and asked questions from room to room with a strange look.
He started asking questions from the superior room area. The attitude of the people in this area was quite good. It's just that I still can't find a useful solution.
Gu Mingda asked all the way down, even to the lower class cabin.
The lower class cabin only has beds and no private rooms. The people living here are inevitably a mixed bag, and their attitude is not that polite.
Some people saw that they were well-dressed, thought they were rich, and wanted to make a killing. Gu Mingda didn't care about spending money, but the so-called exclusive secret recipes of these people were also crappy stuff. If it's just cheating, it's not bad.
There were also those who took advantage of the large number of people and sarcastically spoke to them without any reason, and even waved their fists at every turn, as if they wanted to teach them a lesson.
Although Gu Mingda didn't know why these people had such a bad attitude, he covered his daughter's ears and did not argue with these people. Instead, he went to find other people who were willing to communicate.
When no one was around, Niuniu clenched her little fists and said angrily: "Dad, they scold you, I know how to scold them, and I want to help you scold them back!"
Gu Mingda touched his daughter's little head, chuckled and said, "You should talk to someone who can reason."
Niu Niu was still very unhappy and said, "Even if they don't understand, I still have to say, Daddy is the best, how can they scold you!"
Although Gu Mingda was very happy to be defended by his daughter, he still said: "My dear, it was just a quick talk. You just saw their clothes were dirty and tattered. Several neighbors left their hometowns together to seek life. They looked like they were living a good life." It’s not as expected, but it’s just because of the large number of people that you dare to talk to us like this now. If you meet us elsewhere in the future, I’m afraid they will avoid us.”
"This kind of person is bad!" Niu Niu puffed her mouth and said.
"Because there were boatmen watching from the side, they didn't dare to take action directly." Even though Gu Mingda knew that they didn't dare to take action, he still felt scared.
He has always been thoughtful, but today he was so anxious that he brought his daughter to such a chaotic place.
He was afraid that his daughter would be disadvantaged in the future, so he added: "My dear, remember, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Desperadoes are the most terrifying, because you don't know what they will do. Always protect yourself first."
Niu Niu was always obedient. She said: "I understand. When I meet people who have very little, I try not to let them argue. Their lives are already very poor. I don't have to worry about food and drink. My parents love me. Let me It’s nothing to let them.”
Gu Mingda thought there was nothing wrong with this understanding and said, "Baby is so smart."
Niu Niu proudly held out her belly.
But Gu Mingda was still frightened when he thought about what had just happened, so he wanted to send his daughter back first and ask questions later.
Before the words were spoken, Niu Niu suddenly exclaimed: "It's a beautiful brother!"
Gu Mingda looked in the direction Niuniu pointed and saw a young man wearing tattered clothes and his face painted black.
With her face like this, Gu Mingda couldn't look pretty at all.
Seeing her father's confused look, Niuniu explained: "Dad, have you forgotten? At the dock the day before yesterday, my beautiful brother grabbed the old Taoist priest."
Gu Mingda thought about it, but it was difficult to connect the young man dressed as a beggar in front of him with the young man dressed in brocade surrounded by servants the day before yesterday.
"Dad, I want to talk to my beautiful brother, is it okay?" Niu Niu asked Gu Mingda in a low voice.
The young man was sitting alone in the corner of the deck. He looked very pitiful, and his body didn't look like he could fight, so Gu Mingda held his daughter close to him.
"Pretty brother, you had a lot of servants waiting for you the day before yesterday. Why are you like this today?" Niu Niu asked.
After hearing this, the pretty boy suddenly cried loudly.
