The merchant sneaked over, put the steamed buns beside her, and whispered, "Those officers haven't left yet. Only our merchant ship was approved to set off from Fengzhou to Qingzhou. They insist on arresting people, even though they have been investigated. I went all over the ship, but I didn't find you, madam, and I still refused to give up. I ordered the boatmen to detour on the way, but what they meant was that
I want to go to Qingzhou with us, unload the goods and return the same way. Madame, let's give up. I heard those officers say that Qingzhou has fallen, and the wharf is full of heavy ships.
Guarded by soldiers, once you get off the boat, they will definitely find you. You are an extraordinary person. They chased you all the way, and they will never let you escape. Why don't you just stay in the basement and we unload the ship
Goods, go back the same way, and return to Toyosu to at least save your life. "
"No, I have to go to Qingzhou." Ji Xiaqiu was very tired, and his voice was weak, varying from time to time: "My son is in Qingzhou..."
"But it's too dangerous." The merchant persuaded: "Those officers are sure that you are on board. If I hadn't held a special order from their rebels in my hand, how could they be so polite
Capsized the boat. "
Ji Xiaqiu lowered his head, swallowed, and said, "I'm the one who got you into trouble..."
"No, that's not what I mean." The merchant explained: "You have saved my life, and I should repay the favor, but I am worried about you..."
Ji Xiaqiu interrupted him and asked, "How far is it from Qingzhou...?"
"About two days' journey."
Ji Xiaqiu was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and said: "Slow down the boat at night, and arrange some food for those officers, I... jump off the boat."
"You are crazy!" The merchant was shocked: "With your body, do you still want to swim to Qingzhou? No, it's too risky!"
"But… "
The merchant thought about it carefully, and then said: "On the way here, I saw a boat on the river.
, I will arrange food for the officers as usual, and then secretly let our ship approach that ship. After you jump into the water, swim to that ship immediately. I will give you ten gold bars later, too
Shen, you can’t carry it, so you get on the boat, if the boatman drives you away, you can give them the gold bars... Madam, no matter whether you can go to Qingzhou or not, your life must be saved first. "
Ji Xiaqiu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The merchant didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly left after talking about the plan.
In the evening, there was a lot of fun in the cabin, the merchants prepared excellent food, and the generals and officers were all invited to a banquet. At the same time, he took ten gold bars and supported Ji Xiaqiu, who was weak, to the empty space.
No one's back deck.
The merchant pointed to the lantern-lit boat next to them, and said, "That's the boat. The distance between the two boats is short. If you are familiar with the water, you will be able to swim up it. I took a look again. There are people in that boat.
Old people and children, it should be the houseboat of some big family, old people and children are easy to talk. "
Ji Xiaqiu nodded, took ten gold bars, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water with a plop.
The merchants did not dare to leave, so they curled up on the deck. They were relieved when they saw the little black shadow in the water and swam to the bottom of the other boat, and hurried back to the cabin.
On the other side, Ji Xiaqiu finally climbed to the reins on the side of the boat, and was about to jump into the boat with all his might, when he saw an old man standing on top of his head at some point.
Fa, looking at her with a look of astonishment and surprise, the two looked at each other, the scene was very embarrassing.
Ji Xiaqiu was still hanging by the side of the boat, she stared fixedly at the old man, and the first sentence she opened her mouth was weak, "Help, help..."
The old man was obviously frightened. Seeing that she was skinny and looked like she was about to fall into the water at any time, he quickly reached out to grab her, and at the same time shouted into the cabin: "Come on, come on, come and save me!"
Then, two people came out of the cabin. The one running in the front was a short, fat little girl. Behind the little girl was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with exquisite facial features.
He was beautiful, but it was too dark for Ji Xiaqiu to see his face clearly.
Then she heard the little boy say, "Grandpa, what's going on?"
Then the old man who grabbed him said: "I don't know. I finished my meal and I was going to come out to have some fun. I saw this girl climbing onto our boat. Don't worry about it. Let's get her up first..."
Ji Xiaqiu was excited. This old man seemed to be a kind and gentle old man. She was about to be grateful when she saw that the little boy who was holding the little girl had already walked to the side of the boat.
Holding her other arm, Ji Xiaqiu subconsciously looked up.
This time, she saw the other person's face, and the other person saw her face.
Ji Xiaqiu's eyes were blurry because of her weak body, and she wondered if she was wrong.
In the end, the little boy on the boat widened his eyes and hurriedly shouted: "Grandmother?"
Ji Xiaqiu thought, she was not only dazzled, but also deaf.
How could she think that she saw Xiao Li, her little grandson.
The exhaustion brought about by a month's escape made her physically exhausted. After being dragged onto the boat by the old and the young, she was at the end of her strength.
People began to feel dizzy, she collapsed to the ground, and her eyes began to struggle to focus.
Then, she felt a soft, warm little hand on her wrist, and then she heard the little boy say seriously: "Internal injuries, all internal organs have been damaged by shock, how come?"
it will be like this..."
How could this happen, and what else could be the reason? He was attacked, and when he was escaping, he was chased by the other party's masters. With his last breath, he managed to escape.
Ears began to rumble, and Ji Xiaqiu closed her eyes. For a month, she hid in the basement without daring to sleep, and was vigilant all over if there was any disturbance.
But now, she was clearly in front of another group of strangers, but for some reason, she always felt that she could pass out with ease.
"Grandma, grandma?" The young boy's voice was still echoing in his ears, and Ji Xiaqiu felt that it didn't quite resemble Xiao Li's voice. Her little grandson was still a child, and his voice
Soft and waxy, not so cool, nor so dignified.
Xiao Li called everyone to help.
Ever since his parents left and went to Qingzhou alone, Xiao Li took Chou Chou and accompanied his grandpa and great-grandfather, and stayed on their civilian official ship.
Master Guoshi, a group of boatmen, and many rescued Haidong Army generals.
On the second day after father and mother left, Master Guoshi couldn't sit still, he always wanted to find a place to stop, to see the style and features of this foreign land, his grandfather, who was always strict and introverted, didn't
He tried to stop it, and thought it was a good idea. It was rare for him to put aside his prejudices, and planned with the national teacher how to sneak away.
After Master Grandpa found out their plan, he sighed and said, "One has never seen the world, and the other has been away from home for many years. Since they are idle, they are also idle, so let's go and have a look."
Then they bought an ordinary big boat.
Their four big warships needed people to guard them, and the grandfather was left behind. Xiao Li was worried that his grandfather would be in danger if he went out alone, so he naturally had to follow him all the way. Once Xiao Li left, Chou Chou
They must be together, as well as Master Guoshi, plus two boatmen, and three Haidong Army soldiers as protection, and the group set off lightly.
Because they knew that the three continents in the south of the Yangtze River were all occupied, they did not dare to stop and enter the city rashly, so they kept walking and stopping on the two rivers like a cruise ship, looking at the Qing Dynasty in front of them.
They are going to go to Anju, Gyeongju. After shopping, they will go back the same way. The time should be about the same.
In the middle of the result, such a thing happened suddenly.
Looking at the grandmother who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Li didn't know why, when he called for help, he looked up inadvertently, and saw the pale grandfather standing stiffly.
There, thinking that his great-grandfather and grandmother hadn't seen each other for many years, Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to speak, his great-grandfather suddenly drove away the others, bent down, and hugged his skinny grandmother.
Grandma, rushed directly into the cabin.
