Tong Wen Yao saw this scene. She looked at Brother Zhou, who had just spoken for Xiao Xue. As the horn sounded, the boat began to shake. Tong Wen Yao, who was sitting on the chair, also felt it. After a while, the boat slowly stabilized.
Xing'er said from the side, "Miss, the boat is leaving!" Dongzi was on a boat for the first time, and his face was filled with curiosity. He ran to the railing to look, then picked up a hook to try to fish. Tong Wenyao gave the three front rooms on the second floor to her own people, and the Xinyi Escort Agency was given the rooms in the back, near the stairs.
At this time, Xing'er went to the room to pack up. Tong Wenyao brought Xiaoxue to the viewing platform, where there was also a chair and two lounge chairs. Dongzi was already fishing nearby! After the people from Xinyi Escort Agency put their things away, the person in charge of this trip came up to her.
"Miss Tong, I'm honored that you chose our Xinyi Escort Agency among the millions of other escort agencies. This time, I'll be responsible for your safety. You can call me Wang Liao." She stood up and said, "Uncle Wang, I'll leave it to you."
Wang Liao clasped his fists together, his back straight as a pine tree, his eyes as steady as a torch: "Miss Tong, you are too polite. Since you have entrusted me with this, I will definitely protect you with my life. The entire escort agency is fully prepared for this trip, so don't worry, Miss Tong."
She nodded slightly, her fingertips supporting Xiaoxue's head, a clear and resolute smile on her lips, "Uncle Wang's reputation has long been known throughout the martial arts world. Since this is the promise of the Xinyi Escort Agency, I will entrust your safety on this journey."
She looked toward the green ridges on the shore, her voice a touch cold. "This time, we're heading south. I'm afraid there will be many dangers along the way, but I'll follow Uncle Wang's orders. I'll abide by the rules and won't drag the escort agency back. If anything unexpected happens..." She suddenly turned to look at Wang Liao, her eyes blazing. "Let's see, is it the perils of the world, or is it the words 'faith and trust' that can truly quell the evil spirits?"
Hearing this, Wang Liao's thick eyebrows raised. He placed his right hand on the goose-feather knife at his waist, and the iron ring made a series of crackling sounds. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "What a great way to suppress evil spirits and monsters in Xinyi! What you said reminds me of the battle against the pirates!" His laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at her with a sharp gaze and continued, "For more than 30 years, no one escorted by the Xinyi Escort Agency has retreated even through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Today, I am here. Even if the little devils in the Hall of Yama block my way, I will cut a path for you!"
He took out a map, spread it out on the table, and said, "Miss, we are already on the boat. I believe we will reach the Sui Lan Sea in a few days. This is where there are many pirates. We must be careful when we sail!"
Over the past few days, I've asked my men to adapt quickly so they can be fully prepared when they pass through here! A bloody storm is inevitable.
Tong Wenyao nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, just be prepared!"
"Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave."
After Uncle Wang left, Tong Wen Yao looked through the medical book brought by her master. There were many strange cases written on it, which made her feel that her medical skills were seriously inadequate. Most of her experience in her previous life was in treating external injuries, and her master only taught her to observe, listen, ask and feel. Later, her junior sister was very talented and developed many poisons by herself, so she also learned a few of them, and could also detoxify some of the poisons!
Of course, it was her junior sister who forced her to learn how to detoxify. According to her junior sister, if she got poisoned, how could she heal herself? It would be better if there was someone who could detoxify her! The medical book also included a treatment method, which made her itchy and she always wanted to try it out when she came across it.
However, she also knew that this type of case was relatively rare. But in the south, there was more miasma, so she might really encounter this type of case!
The sailing here was relatively quiet for the past two days, with no major pirates appearing. Even if they did appear, they were quickly dealt with by the guards in charge.
Dongzi shouted from the viewing platform, "Boss, come out quickly! What a huge lake!" Xing'er, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said, "Little Dongzi, this isn't a lake! It's a sea!"
Tong Wen Yao put down the book in her hand and walked towards the viewing platform. When she saw the blue sea again, she couldn't help but think of the zombie outbreak in her previous life. The sea water turned black and smelled extremely bad when you got close to it. Even touching the sea water would cause infection.
Looking at the vast ocean, and even the islands on the other side covered in lush trees, she thought of a poem: "Looking eastward from Jieshi, I see the vast ocean. The water is so calm, the mountains and islands stand tall, the trees grow thickly, and the grass is lush and flourishing."
Wang Liao, standing aside, said in a loud voice, "What a wonderful place to stand on Jieshi in the east and gaze at the vast ocean."
This is exactly the Jieshi Cliff. At the current speed, we will pass by the Suilan Sea tonight. I am afraid that tonight will be restless! Wang Liao approached and said, "Miss Tong, please have a good rest today and stay with us tonight!" Tong Wenyao knew that Wang Liao would not say these words inexplicably. Since he said so, then there will probably be a tough battle to fight tonight!
After looking at the surrounding ships, they are now all watching the sea on the viewing platform. According to the current speed, they will reach Wangluo Wharf in the afternoon. The students who are going to Beijing to take the exam can also get off the ship here and then go from Taipingzhou to the capital!
However, there is another route, which is to take one more stop, arrive at Suigang, and then transfer to the Suiyun River. It only takes one day to reach the capital. If you go from Taipingzhou to the capital, there is no water transportation, and you have to take a horse carriage for two days and two nights.
Therefore, most students would choose to take the boat to Suigang and then transfer to the Suiyun Canal to Beijing. In the afternoon, after arriving at Suigang, they would transfer to the Suiyun Canal to take a boat to Beijing. In the afternoon, there were very few people getting off the boat at Wangluo Wharf. It seems that most people go to Suigang to take a boat to Beijing!
After lunch, Tong Wen Yao stood on the viewing platform to digest the food. She told Dongzi and Xing'er that she would take a nap in the afternoon to prepare for tonight. After she had almost digested the food, she went back to her room and went to sleep. Uncle Wang said that there would be a tough battle tonight, and they were bound to be more informed about the news, so it was always right to listen to Uncle Wang!
On this day, except for Zhou Xueyi and his close friends, the rest of the people on the first floor did not sleep. They were all excited about arriving at Suigang the next day and even had a party!
Of course, Zhou Xueyi didn't attend. First, he couldn't fit in with their circle, and second, with that time, he might as well read more books and practice calligraphy! He bought bamboo paper in the county and was practicing calligraphy. He remembered that he had used hemp paper to practice calligraphy before. Even though hemp paper was easy to smudge, the words he wrote were still beautiful. After switching to bamboo paper, the handwriting was even better. After seeing him practicing calligraphy, a friend came up to him and said, "Brother Zhou, you have a new way of doing things. Your fine lines are as sharp as an autumn eagle!"
After hearing this, Brother Zhou said modestly, "No, no, I just rely on bamboo paper to write like this. In terms of beautiful calligraphy, I can't compare to Brother Fan."
