Chapter 1010 Joy

The old boatman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Then you, my dear..."

Zhu Feng said, "I'm leaving."

"Walk?"

The old boatman subconsciously turned around to glance at the girl lying on the bed and said in surprise, "My dear, are you leaving now?"

"Um."

"Then this girl—"

"Just stay here and take care of her."

"Well."

Seeing him hesitate, Zhu Feng thought he was worried about the money, so he said calmly, "Of course, I can't let you take care of her for nothing, so you should accept this money. It's enough for her to get medical treatment and medicine. If there's any left, you can take it yourself."

“…”

The old boatman still didn't quite understand.

He thought that the noble and imposing man in front of him was attracted by the beautiful girl. He was so considerate and attentive to the girl just now, so it must be the case. After all, he was so old and experienced, so he could understand the things between men and women.

But, how come he is leaving in the blink of an eye?

In fact, Zhu Feng himself was also a little confused.

He did follow the strange feeling in his heart all the way to the sea, and he also thought that he could find the missing pieces of the puzzle of his memories on the sea.

As a result, the woman was found.

There was indeed something very strange about her, but what was even stranger was that he didn't know her. She seemed to have no existence in his memory at all.

So——I didn't come here for her?

Since the answer is not with her, there is no need for me to continue to guard her, and there is no need to stay in this place any longer.

He also did not forget that he had another purpose for coming to Changqing City this time, which was to meet King Ning.

And find his daughter.

All of a sudden, these things became like a tangled mess, entangled in his heart in twists and turns. He really didn't have the time to stay in this small fishing village and take care of a strange woman.

Leaving this money behind should be the most she can do.

So he handed the silver note to the old boatman.

Although the banknote was just a piece of paper, when the old boatman took it in his hand, it felt like he was holding a heavy stone, and he seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

He looked up and said, "Sir, are you really leaving?"

Just then, the old boatman's wife came in from outside. She was also a kind-looking old woman. When she heard this, she was also surprised: "Your Excellency is leaving?"

Zhu Feng didn't want to say much, so he just nodded lightly.

The old woman was also very grateful to him for giving them such a large sum of money. Although it was just a business deal, it was that money that saved their son. In her eyes, this noble man was no different from a benefactor.

The old woman said, "If you want to leave, please wait until you have a meal. You have been here with this girl all night and haven't had a drop of water."

“…”

Zhu Feng reached out and touched his belly.

It’s true.

After arriving in Changqing City, he went straight to find the old boatman and went out to sea. When he got out to sea, he felt a little seasick and vomited because of the storm.

By now, my stomach is empty.

So he nodded.

The old couple were very happy and hurried to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.

People living by the sea naturally use fish and shrimp to entertain guests.

Although I don't have as many cooking skills as the chefs in the imperial kitchen, just boiling it in water and slightly seasoning it is still very delicious.

Add a plate of stir-fried vegetables, it’s simple but delicious.

The couple gratefully piled the dishes in front of him.

"My lord, please use it."

“…”

Zhu Feng was not quite used to this kind of enthusiasm.

However, since he had forgotten all his past, he had lost the ability to judge people based on experience and could only rely on his instincts. Therefore, he instinctively felt that these people were really grateful to him.

So he let down his guard and ate a lot of food.

In front of me, there was a pile of shrimp shells and fish bones.

When they had eaten and drunk their fill, the old woman asked enthusiastically, "Sir, are you coming to Changqing City to stay with relatives and friends?"

Zhu Feng glanced at them.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm here to find my brother."

"Where is your brother then?"

"In Changqing City."

"Oh," the old woman nodded, and then said, "We are still a long way from here to the city. You can't go there without some dry food. Fortunately, I just made some bread, so you can take it with you."

Zhu Feng said, "No need."

"Yes, yes."

The old woman was very enthusiastic. She immediately stood up and went to the other side to get the pancakes she had baked. She also asked the old boatman to come over to help. Both of them said enthusiastically: "No matter what, it was your money that saved our son this time. You are our benefactor. We must repay you well."

"that is."

Zhu Feng sat at the table, listening to the two old men rummaging through boxes and chattering on the other side.

He was silent for a moment and stood up.

I had originally planned to leave like this, but after taking a step forward, I hesitated. After a moment of silence, I realized the uneasiness in my heart.

After thinking about it, I turned back.

Although this is totally unlike what Zhu Feng would do, he has always been the kind of person who leaves when he wants to, and will never drag his feet or linger.

But at this moment, what made him hesitate and linger was the pale, delicate face in front of him.

The woman lying on the bed has not woken up yet.

It was already noon and the sun was at its brightest. Although the winter sun was not very hot, it was exceptionally dazzling. It shone through the window onto her face, and her fair skin glowed slightly.

The whole person is delicate and fragile.

Zhu Feng looked at her and frowned slightly.

I put one hand to my heart, and before it was even close, I could already feel my heartbeat. It was different from before, and it was beating very hard.

What's going on?

She is indeed very beautiful, but she is not really that beautiful.

It is not enough to make me, who has seen so many beauties, linger on her, but when I look at her, the feeling of joy in my heart cannot be deceived at all.

How could that be?

Falling in love with a woman of unknown origin and identity is not like him.

Even though as an emperor, he could have three palaces and six courtyards and three thousand beauties, but he never thought there was anything desirable about such things.

Thinking of this, Zhu Feng frowned even more tightly.

He said to himself, "It is useless to stay."

So he turned around and walked out.

Just as he turned around, the unconscious woman lying on the bed frowned slightly, and the slender fingers of the hand exposed outside the quilt moved slightly.
