Su Ying hired this boat to run very fast, and the speed was simply not what the broken wooden raft could catch up with.
It was getting dark gradually, and Su Ying didn't see anyone coming behind her for the time being, so she changed boats when a fishing boat was approaching.
The boatman was an old fisherman, and when he heard that Su Ying had something urgent to go to Luzhou, he agreed immediately.
After all, Rui'er was a child, so she didn't even know that her mother was on the run.
After he finished drinking the milk, his big eyes rolled around, expressing his curiosity about the environment.
He didn't sleep either, waving his two chubby little hands, grinning, chatting babbling for some unknown reason.
Su Ying couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed his little face, looking at his lips: "Silly boy."
It's still spring, and it's on the river again. The sky was getting dark, but it was still a little cold. The wind from the river kept beating the cabin and made some movements, as if it was about to rush in the next moment.
Su Ying was afraid that the child would be frozen, so she wrapped him up tightly.
Su Ying leaned on the cabin, patted his body lightly, and sang a mountain tune to her.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and Xiao Baozi soon fell into a deep sleep.
Su Ying looked down at the little bun in her arms. If the trip goes well, they will live in Nanyang in the future.
There are flowers blooming all year round, a thriving scene, it should be the most suitable for Rui'er to grow up.
At this time, I heard the old boatman shouting outside: "Girl, it's time to eat."
Su Ying responded, and the old boatman lifted the curtain and brought in the food.
The old boatman looks simple and kind, and the food is a bit simple, he seems a little embarrassed: "There are not many things on the boat, the girl can eat as she pleases."
"It's good to be able to eat hot food on the river, Lin Bo, please." Su Ying laughed, she put down the child, took the food and put it on the low table, "You together Let's eat."
The old boatman sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "This fish is a river fish. It was just caught in the morning and kept very fresh."
Su Ying took a sip and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, your craftsmanship is really good, it's delicious!"
Lin Bo said with some pride: "I have been fishing for a living all year round, so I have to make a good meal for myself! Speaking of which, after a while, it will be the time when the shrimps and crabs are plump, and it will be time to make them into drunken shrimps and crabs." It's called beauty... "
When Su Ying heard what Lin Bo said, she immediately became greedy: "If there is a chance, I must try Lin Bo's craftsmanship."
"If Miss wants to taste it, I will prepare it earlier." Lin Bo asked casually: "Miss, where are you going with the child alone?"
Su Ying hired Lin Bo's boat before, and only let him dock in Luzhou ahead, and did not explicitly tell her the destination.
Lin Bo is a simple person, Su Ying was afraid that he would be caught and interrogated by Ye Feibai, so she didn't tell him. She just smiled and said, "Wherever I go, I don't know where I'm going."
Lin Bo looked at her in surprise: "It must be very hard for you as a woman with a child?"
Su Ying glanced at the child subconsciously, with a gentle look in her eyes: "This child is everything to me, so why is it so hard?"
"The child's father won't worry?" The old boatman stopped when he saw Su Ying, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face full of vicissitudes, "I'm sorry, girl, I'm talking too much..."
"It's nothing, the child's father has already disliked us..." Su Ying pulled her lips with some self-deprecation, "We have nothing to do with him from now on."
When the boatman heard what Su Ying said, he opened his mouth, and immediately didn't know what to say.
Su Ying smiled, changed the subject and said, "Wouldn't Bo Lin feel tired of running on the water all year round?"
Lin Bo said: "We grew up by the river, and we didn't think there was anything."
Su Ying originally wanted to ask him why he didn't take care of himself earlier, but seeing Lin Bo's weathered face and wearing a patched clothes, knowing that he made a living by fishing, he didn't ask any more.
I thought to myself, when I leave, I will leave some more wages for him.
Su Ying asked again casually: "I wonder if Lin Bo understands Luzhou?"
Lin Bo is most familiar with this Luzhou: "Luzhou is not far away. I heard that peach blossoms have bloomed there recently, which is very beautiful. Qingcheng is a little ahead of Luzhou. It is a very prosperous city with many inns. Some… "
Su Ying listened to Lin Bo talking about the cities along the river, but she was thinking about where it would be better to take a rest.
As the sky gradually darkened, the boat continued to move forward. Lin Bo was sitting in the bow wearing a thick cotton coat, but Su Ying's heart was always tense. Although the boat had traveled hundreds of miles, she didn't dare to sleep at all, she knew that Ye Feibai's men would catch up sooner or later.
But after so much time, Hongbo should be ready.
She had already ordered Hongbo to find a few women who were about the same size as her and dress up as herself to confuse Ye Feibai's sight and make Ye Feibai think she had gone by land.
Su Ying carried the sleeping bun behind her back, she had to find the right time to leave the boat.
The boat turned a corner and headed west. The river here is very wide and the water is a bit turbulent. However, this is the only big river from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River. Many merchant ships pass by here.
At this moment, a merchant ship sailed from west to east, and when passing by, Su Ying found the right moment and quietly jumped onto the ship with the child on her back.
This is a very large merchant ship, about 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. The hull is also very high, with three floors.
There were people patrolling on the boat, Su Ying suddenly heard a male voice saying: "There seems to be some noise over there, go and have a look..."
Su Ying heard footsteps coming towards her, held her breath, and walked quietly to the bottom floor with her cat in her body.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" A voice came from the front, muffled and sleepy, presumably looking for the toilet.
Su Ying was slightly taken aback, secretly thankful that it was already late at night, and the cabin was pitch black, so the other party must not be able to see her face.
She responded vaguely, and the man didn't notice that she walked past her.
Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief again, and walked forward very lightly. She searched quickly while walking, and finally found an empty narrow room in the corner.
Su Ying sat on the narrow boat and untied Xiao Baozi from her body. She wanted to put him on the bed.
Little Baozi opened his mouth—
"Wow!"
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Su Ying's heart, and she was almost going crazy. At this time, the usually obedient little bun was about to lose his chain!
Su Ying hurriedly untied her clothes to feed him, but Xiao Baozi was full after taking a few sips of milk, and her mouth was flattened as if she was about to cry.
Su Ying stared at him, she was about to cry too, okay!
She clasped her hands together: "Little idiot, don't cry now."
Little Baozi doesn't know how to cooperate with his mother, he opened his mouth—wow!
