There were only two of them, and Zhang Ruyi kept looking for topics, only in this way could he divert his attention and make himself less sad.
"Husband, the official ship has sunk, but there are still so many goods on board, have they all sunk at the bottom of the water?"
She had a whimsical idea, there is no shortage of rich people on the official ship, and if the treasures they carry sink to the bottom, if they can be salvaged, they may make a fortune.
According to the travel notes, there are people who make a fortune by salvage by the river, panning for gold, gold, silver and jewelry. Of course, most of the time they salvage corpses, and then ask their families for a large sum of money as hard work expenses.
Lu Yuanqing's eyebrows twitched, and she glanced at the lady in surprise. Are you crazy about money?
He replied calmly and concisely with three words, "There is a water monster..."
Zhang Ruyi: ...
A few hours passed, and the sky was still gray and gloomy, making it impossible to tell whether it was morning or evening.
Xiao Lingchuan and Li Haitang were lying on the ground covered with straw, cuddling each other tightly, covered with blankets to block some of the cold wind in the air.
Xiao Lingchuan was injured, and his movements were slow. Li Haitang helped him apply a layer of medicine on the wound every hour, and tore off a clean cotton cloth from the hem of his underwear, and wrapped it around the wound to prevent the wound from getting stained. water.
She thought, now is almost the most embarrassing time since time travel, even more embarrassing than running away from marriage.
The thatched house was crude, not even a shelter from the wind and rain. Li Haitang was afraid that the strong wind would continue, and the only straw mat on the roof would be blown away by the wind.
No matter how healthy a strong man is, he can't stand such torture, not to mention that Xiao Lingchuan is injured, and he can't be drenched in the rain.
Right now, saying anything was useless, and sighing would not solve the problem, so Li Haitang tried to be optimistic, as long as he stood up, all wind and rain would pass, and the sky would always clear up.
The shore is empty, there are almost no trees to cover it, the north wind is howling, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling, and the raindrops are slapping the mud coldly.
"Is it cold?"
Xiao Lingchuan blocked the cold wind with his body, and hugged his wife even tighter.
The two of them also had a pheasant, which was stewed with chicken soup in a pot. The conditions were limited, so they simply added a spoonful of salt. After about half an hour, the aroma wafted out.
"Husband, I'm not cold. Let's drink a bowl of chicken soup each, and we'll warm up after a while."
Li Haitang shook his head, subconsciously leaned closer to her husband, still feeling sorry for the medicine box.
The husband and wife set off on the road, traveling lightly, with only a change of clothes and silver.
Carry banknotes and broken silver with you, and the loss is negligible.
It's just going to Licheng, and it's impossible to go by water. The group has to go around a long way. They also need to buy a new carriage. The possibility of buying a good thoroughbred horse is very small.
Xiao Lingchuan patted his wife on the shoulder comfortingly, walked to the edge of the iron pot to fill a bowl of hot soup, saw that she was sweating after drinking, and quickly wiped her off with a cloth towel.
There was a sound of messy footsteps in the distance, Xiao Lingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Ji Qiu is here."
As soon as the words were finished, Ji Qiu rushed into the thatched hut with his blue clothes in one breath, the two of them were covered with thick linoleum, only the trouser legs were a little wet.
Lan Yi looked around, her frowning brows relaxed immediately, she ran her hands along her chest, and said with a happy face, "Hai Tang, we've finally met."
Lan Yi and Ji Qiu's side was not peaceful. After they landed, they found that there were a few yamen servants behind them. The yamen servants ran the boat all the year round. They were good at water, and they were more stable than the boat passengers when they encountered troubles.
After the yamen servants approached, Lanyi was quite happy, just about to go forward to ask questions about his young lady, but was pulled behind by Ji Qiu, the yamen servants didn't come to talk to them at all, but to **** their belongings.
When Ji Qiu made a move, several yamen servants with ulterior motives were beaten into pigs' heads, Lan Yi was indignant, and it was not easy to escape from death just now, but these scumbags had no conscience and wanted to make disaster fortune.
She always felt that she couldn't just be bullied in vain, and it happened that the two of them didn't have any cooking utensils, so they simply used their own methods to treat them, and robbed the servants.
After committing the crime, the two of them couldn't stay where they were, they stopped and walked, Ji Qiu's sharp eyes saw the strip of cloth Xiao Lingchuan left on the tree, and followed the signs to find the thatched cottage.
"There are several woods around, but there is no shelter, and it is wet and cold."
Li Haitang pulled the blue clothes to warm up to the fire, and now only Zhang Ruyi and Lu Yuanqing were out of contact with them.
On rainy days, people's sense of direction will become poor, and it's dark outside, so it's not easy to find someone, but judging by the weather, it won't clear up for a while.
"We searched along the way, and shouted a few times, but got no response, maybe the two went in opposite directions."
The thatched house, which was already small, looked cramped even more because of the arrival of Ji Qiu and Lan Yi. A few people sit or stand, basically taking up more than half of the space.
The wall of the hut is adobe made of grass roots mixed with mud, which cannot withstand the rain, and there is a big crack on the wall.
But a few people can only make do with it, and within a few miles around, they can't find a better place to hide.
"You are hurt?"
Ji Qiu observed Xiao Lingchuan's movements with a touch of surprise in his eyes. The wound on Xiao Lingchuan's leg was just a little bleeding, and it wasn't even considered an injury for those who were walking life and death darts.
However, Xiao Lingchuan's legs were obviously stiff to the point of being bent. It should be due to misalignment of the bones. Most people cannot straighten their bones in time, and they would roll on the ground in pain. However, Xiao Lingchuan, relying on perseverance, endured the excruciating pain and walked with Li Haitang on his back. for two hours.
"Well, I was cut by a branch, and I have been given medicine."
Xiao Lingchuan nodded, and winked at Ji Qiu in a direction his wife couldn't see, hoping that he wouldn't expose him.
Otherwise, if Li Haitang knew the truth, he might cry again, but he told a lot of interesting things, and it was hard to coax people.
Furthermore, is it easy for him to hide it under the nose of Miracle Doctor Li!
"Oh, just don't get wet."
Ji Qiu and Lan Yi snatched the bundle, which contained pancakes and noodles, and there happened to be stewed pheasants in the pot.
He set up another small pot, put the noodles in the chicken soup, took out a piece of chicken breast from the pot, cut it into thin strips, and put it in the noodles.
"Ji Qiu, you are really a fastidious person."
Cucumber slices and a few small green vegetables were placed inside the noodles, embellished with color, and the shredded chicken was finely chopped. Li Haitang's stomach growled and he felt hungry again.
Seeing the truth in adversity, saying too many words of gratitude between relatives, which seemed unfamiliar and polite, she silently remembered them in her heart, and strived to reciprocate one or two in the future.
After the meal, Li Haitang relaxed and fell asleep without saying a few words. Lan Yi leaned against her and moved a few times. Before her own lady was found, her heart was hanging in the air. From the moment she boarded the boat, she was terrified and had a hard time.
