Chapter 1168 Leaving the Capital
The Hong family's daily quarrels have started again, and the children are used to it.
But unlike before, Aunt Hong had more confidence today and did not compromise.
After bidding farewell to the Hong family, Shu Yu returned to the small courtyard in the south of the city with Gouwa.
Doctor Zhao and Zhao Xi had already brought the carriage to the alley entrance and were waiting. When they saw them return, they waved and said, "Let's go, we're about to set off."
There were two carriages. Shu Yu, along with Gouwa and Yingxi, sat in their own carriage.
Zhao Xi drove another car, taking the old doctor Zhao straight to the outskirts of the city.
It was Gouwa's first time riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and the swaying of the carriage made him a little scared.
Fortunately, there was a soft cushion in the car, so Shuyu let him lie down and sleep on it.
The car was swaying and rocking, and he actually fell asleep.
Shu Yu smiled, and the group quickly arrived at the city gate and lined up to leave the city.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Meng Yunzheng and Meng Pei happened to arrive.
Meng Pei was holding an urn containing ashes, which was wrapped in layers of cloth.
His eyes reddened again, and he solemnly boarded Zhao Xi's carriage.
Dr. Zhao moved a box out. The box was made of special materials for shock absorption and was filled with cotton cloth, making it very sturdy.
"Let it in."
Doctor Zhao looked at Meng Pei, but the latter shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No need, I'll hold him a little longer."
He looked down at the urn containing her ashes, and touched it reluctantly. "So many years have passed, and it's rare for me to hold her again."
Dr. Zhao didn't say anything, closed the box, pushed it back, and then told Zhao Xi to set off.
Two carriages drove towards the dock, one after the other.
This time, with ample time, Meng Yunzheng booked several rooms well in advance, finally relieving him of the worry of staying in the lower cabins.
Their room was on the third floor, one of the best rooms available.
Gouwa had woken up, and looking at the large ship in front of him, a strange look of shock flashed in his eyes.
He had never seen anything like it before; it was huge and looked incredibly powerful.
Shu Yu now takes every opportunity to talk to him. Seeing him looking at the big ship, she introduced it to him, "This is a ship. We'll be taking this ship soon. The ship travels on water. If you're curious, we can take a look once it's sailing."
As they talked, she and Ying Xi boarded the ship with Doctor Meng Pei and Doctor Zhao, while Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi arranged the carriages and horses.
The rooms on the third floor were very quiet, and the ship was even larger than the one they had arrived on.
They arrived at the perfect time; most of the passengers on the large ship had already arrived.
After a quarter of an hour, the boat moved and slowly sailed away from the dock.
The third floor offers a wider view, allowing Shu Yu and the others to enjoy the scenery along the edge without having to go down to the lower deck.
She found a room on the edge of the room, opened the window, sat there holding the puppy, and pointed outside, saying, "Look, the boat is moving forward, isn't that amazing?"
It's amazing.
Gouwa stared wide-eyed as the scenery before him receded into the distance.
He used to spend all his time at the Hong family's house, and all he could see was that small plot of land. He didn't know there could be so many trees, he didn't know that a person could stand on water without falling in, and he didn't know he could stand so high.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow; she could sense an excitement emanating from the child.
He remained silent, but his expressions were becoming increasingly varied.
