Xue Hanyu threw away the torch, and Cheng Jinxing stepped on it to extinguish it. He stood there for a while before continuing walking.
With a moon this big, there’s actually no need to light a torch.
Moreover, Cheng Jinxing had been studying in the city since he was six years old, and was very familiar with the small roads around the county town.
He carried Xue Hanyu on his back, perfectly avoided the patrolling yamen runners, and got on the boat.
When they got on the boat, the boat owner came to collect the money and deliberately looked at the two of them. As a result, when Cheng Jinxing's office token was displayed, the boat owner said nothing.
The ship owner has been running the ship for so many years and is used to seeing men and women eloping. He misunderstood these two people.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm shortsighted and made a mistake! Please come in!"
The boat owner quickly apologized.
"What are you thinking! This is my aunt. We are going to the capital. How much is it per person?"
Cheng Jinxing glared at the boat owner.
After he said this, Xue Hanyu finally understood what the ship owner had meant. He lowered his head in anger and didn't dare to curse.
How could this person think of Jin Xing like this?
Jinxing looks like a good kid at first glance, but this boat owner is so dirty!
"No need to give, no need to give. It is my honor to have you here. Please come in!"
How dare the boat owner take money from people?
"Here you go, no need to look for it!"
Xue Hanyu took out a piece of silver from his bosom, handed it to the boat owner, then took Cheng Jinxing and left.
"Oh, girl, I don't need so much, I don't need..."
"Just shut up and stop looking!"
The boat owner wanted to chase after him, but Xue Hanyu turned around and glared at him.
The boat owner stopped.
"Aunt Hanyu, are you angry?"
Arriving at the cabin, Cheng Jinxing found an empty seat, sat down and asked.
He had never seen Xue Hanyu angry before, so he was quite curious.
"Of course I'm angry! He just suspected you! He thought you were a bad person! You don't look like a bad person! You're such a good person, why would he think that of you!"
Xue Hanyu said in a low voice.
She rarely gets angry with people, but now she feels a little scared, afraid that someone will come and scold her.
"Aunt Hanyu really thinks I'm a good person? I've often heard others say bad things about me before!"
Cheng Jinxing didn't expect that Xue Hanyu was angry because he was suspected.
He had never met anyone who protected him so much before. At this moment, it seemed as if something in his heart had broken through the ground and was taking root.
"Those people don't understand you. You're a good person. You help me fight the bad guys, you're thoughtful, and you take good care of me, who isn't even a relative. At home, you respect your elders and care for your younger brothers. You..."
Xue Hanyu counted the good things Cheng Jin had done one by one on her fingers, but the fingers on both hands were not enough.
"Keep your voice down! It's late at night, can't you let me sleep?"
Someone in the cabin was woken up by the two people's talking and cursed.
Xue Hanyu immediately fell silent and stuck out her tongue at Cheng Jinxing.
"Aunt Hanyu, go to sleep! Sleep on the back, or you won't have energy tomorrow!"
Cheng Jinxing whispered.
"Yeah, okay, Jinxing, you go to sleep too!"
Xue Hanyu nodded repeatedly.
This ship came from Jiangnan. It has a large space with seat tickets, and the others are sleeper tickets.
This type of ship was invented after the empress ascended the throne. The seating positions make reasonable use of the space, and the seating space can accommodate more than a hundred people.
Cheng Jinxing and his friends arrived late and boarded the ship halfway, so naturally they couldn't buy sleeper tickets.
