Chapter 893 A Dream of Youth 425

As the wind picked up the sails, the waiter carried sliced, tender fish and vegetables into the cabin, his light steps revealing his excellent mood.

He had been delivering meat and vegetables for the past few days. At first, he was indeed very careful, afraid of offending the adults. In particular, he had embarrassed himself the first time he delivered vegetables because he had eaten too much raw fish and his stomach was full of worms.

If it weren't for one of the adults who knew medicine, he would have really died from the pain.

Afterwards, they learned that raw fish should not be eaten in large quantities, and the young man remembered the lesson and never dared to do it again.

Actually, his master had told him not to eat so many fish slices, but he didn't have much money and had never eaten anything good before. And since the fish was unlimited, he ate as much as he wanted since it was his first time working on a boat.

The young man loved to run to the man who had saved him to deliver things, not only because the man was the kindest, but also because of the white wolf.

He had never seen such a beautiful wolf in his life, and he wanted to take a few more glances at it. He couldn't help but think of his father.

His father was a hunter, and his family was not wealthy. At that time, his mother was pregnant with twins, and both of them were on the verge of death. In order to find a good doctor to examine his mother and save the lives of the three of them, his father went deep into the mountains.

Originally, he was hoping to risk his life to hunt a wild boar, but instead he didn't find a wild boar. Instead, he picked up a few wolf cubs. The wolf pack was fighting, and the original wolf king died. These wolf cubs were definitely not going to survive, so his father quietly sneaked away from a haystack in the distance.

Thinking about this, the guy couldn't help but admire his father's courage. It was too much, and he was also very lucky, otherwise he would have been torn apart by the wolves long ago.

The wolf was sold for a high price, which not only allowed him to hire a doctor to treat his mother and buy her medicine, but also helped her successfully give birth to twin girls. He even had enough money left over to build a thatched hut.

His father said that they were actually short of money at that time because ginseng was very expensive, and the loss of a wolf cub meant they were short a lot of money.

Fortunately, the family that had found the wolf cub later bought it back with money. In fact, if that family hadn't told them, they wouldn't have been able to find it and would have had to suffer in silence.

The young man was also grateful. If he hadn't received that money, his mother and two well-behaved and adorable younger sisters would probably be gone.

However, the young man did not know that the white wolf was the same wolf cub that had run away back then. After all, the wolf cub back then was gray and looked completely different from the one now.

The story of Xie Ning meeting the White Wolf has been circulated in countless versions.

A voice called out from ahead, and the waiter responded, then told the other person several room numbers, all of which were for food delivery.

Their passenger ship was quite different from the cargo ships; its hull was long and graceful, like a nimble bluefish swimming on the blue waves.

The upper building was spacious and well-organized, with excellent natural light in each cabin and hall. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the entire interior with brightness and warmth. The ingenious design allowed air to pass through, making it feel completely airy.

Of particular note is the exquisitely designed pavilion that has been meticulously constructed on the prow deck, providing a scenic view for guests.

The young waiter looked up and saw several officials dressed in simple everyday clothes leaning leisurely against the railing, gazing into the distance and enjoying the enchanting scenery on both sides of the river.

Below, there are scholars playing chess.

The river stretches out to the horizon, with rolling mountains in the distance, and clouds and mist swirling around it, eclipsing the setting sun.

"Sister Qingxu, the fish slices are here!" The waiter turned around, saw Qingxu, and quickened his pace.

The waiter handed the tray to Qingxu, then looked down and saw Xueqiu tilting its head to look at him, or rather, at the meat in his hand.

It's a wolf that only loves to eat fish.

"Snowball?"

"Waaah~"

Hearing Xie Ning call her, Snowball wagged her tail, turned around, and ran inside, then obediently lay down beside the stove.

Xie Ning doesn't eat raw fish much. He usually lets them slice the fish and grill it, or coat it in batter and fry it.

"Guiyi, you cut the fruit, your knife skills are excellent."

The young woman standing next to Xie Ning glanced at the words Xie Ning had written on the small table: "Not for arrogance or extravagance, not for decadence, not for beauty, living in a simple thatched hut, spending money for the people."

She then nodded silently. She was never one for words and always did things quietly.

Gui Yi is one of the bodyguards Yan Xi assigned to Xie Ning, and she has extremely high combat skills.
