Chapter 299 Twin Brothers
After eating its fill, the loach jumped back into the jar by itself.
Then bring the jar back.
Save trouble.
Little White Hair was also a trouble-maker. Sometimes when there was not enough food, it would go out into the wild to get a snack, such as pheasants, hares, etc. If it could not finish eating, it would bring them back and roast them for Little Yuanbao and the others.
Cai was flattered and praised Little White Hair for his behavior.
When we released the loaches into the river to forage for food again, they began to come back with seafood.
The shore was littered with fresh fish, shrimp, clams, snails, etc.
It also supports the function of ordering food.
For example, if Liao Huaiyu said he wanted to eat snail meat, he only had to go to the river and wait, and soon a bunch of snails of different sizes would be thrown up to him.
If Sanbao says he wants shrimps today, he can just go to the river to wait for the shrimps and put them in a basin.
The little white-haired boy saw this and refused to give in. He thought that the loach was so powerful, wouldn't it seem that he was no match for it?
Whenever the carriage stopped to rest in the wild, it would go into the woods to hunt pheasants, rabbits, pick bird eggs, etc.
Cai discovered that she didn’t have to buy ingredients because there was always more fresh food every day.
There are fish, meat, shrimp and eggs, and it's quite nutritious.
If Dabao's matter hadn't weighed on everyone's mind, this family trip would have been a joyful one.
After staying in Chubei Mansion for a few days, with no news of Dabao, he began to travel by water to the capital.
There is no whole journey by water. You have to walk a section by water, then walk a section by land, then change to water, and then walk by land again, alternating in this way.
Chubei Prefecture transferred to Jieyang Prefecture by boat.
A large ship that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages.
They couldn't lose the carriage because there was still land behind them. When they wanted to look for people, they sometimes had to walk through the wilderness, so they had to have their own carriage.
It was the first time for little Yuanbao to come to the mortal world and ride on a big ship. Everything was new to him.
The largest river in the State of Yan was called the Handan River.
The largest river in the Great Yan State was called Hengjiang.
This river and this river almost run through the entire Yan State in an X shape.
Almost all the tributaries on the map are extensions of the two rivers.
In order for Xiao Yuanbao and her friends to go to Beijing, they had to first cross the Handan River and then the Hengjiang River before they could reach the capital.
"Second brother, we are going to ride on a big boat in the water. How many days will it take?" She lay on the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze.
The family booked a room on the second floor.
There is no squeeze down the warehouse aisle below.
The main reason is that they brought large luggage such as a carriage, and they had to spend a certain amount before they could be allowed to bring it.
Cai felt very painful.
The boat fare for one room was quite high, costing several dozen taels of silver.
However, there were many of them, the mother and her two children, plus Liao Huaiyu, a total of five people. On average, each person got about ten taels. But they were able to bring a carriage and have a room for them to sleep, so it was considered a good deal.
Cai was tidying up things in the room. There were four beds in total in the room, enough for them to stay in.
Several children were outside playing in the water.
Erbao looked at his sister and replied with a smile, "It will take about four or five days."
Dabao has been missing for more than a month.
Their mood has basically stabilized now.
If Dabao is still alive, he is no longer in danger, or he is still injured and unable to move, so it is useless for them to worry.
Therefore, they became more calm.
Little Yuanbao lay on the edge of the sturdy fence. She was too small to reach the top of the fence, so she lay in the gap between the fences and looked at the river.
"It's so fun to ride a boat! Third brother, look, the river is surging."
Erbao is feminine, cautious, thoughtful, and rarely laughs.
At this time, the ship had already started.
I saw the oars paddling in the water, and the spray from the stern swirling away.
He also sighed, "Yes, I haven't seen it either. The ship is really huge!"
…
Just at this moment, a voice came from the side.
"You are children, don't get too close to the fence. This wooden fence is not very sturdy. If you fall down, it will be difficult to rescue you. Ahem..."
Xiao Yuanbao and the others looked over.
The person who spoke was a boy about ten years old.
His face was pale, his features were gloomy, and he was as thin as a bamboo pole. It seemed as if talking had drained all his strength. He even started coughing after he finished speaking.
Next to him, there was a child squatting who looked exactly like him.
The facial features are exactly the same, but the body shape is different. His body is stronger than his, but his eyes look dull and stupid.
These are a pair of twin little brothers.
Xiao Yuanbao smiled sweetly at him, "Thank you for the reminder, little brother."
The frail young man also smiled kindly back at her.
He kept holding the stupid brother beside him with one hand, fearing that he might have an accident. His stupid brother was staring at the river in a daze with a dull expression.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Yuanbao introduced himself, and his outgoing nature began to show.
"Little brother, my name is Xiao Yuanbao. We live in this room. Do you live in the room next door?"
The sickly boy nodded, "Yes, we live next door."
Xiao Yuanbao looked the frail boy up and down, "Little brother, what's wrong with you? You look listless."
The sickly boy smiled bitterly, "Well, I've been in poor health since I was a child, and I've been taking medicine all the time."
Little Yuanbao said, "My second brother also had a bad health since he was young. He took medicine frequently and got better later, right, second brother?"
After saying this, he winked at Erbao who was behind him.
When Erbao thought of his past self, he couldn't help but look at his sister with even more doting eyes.
"Yes, it was my sister who saved me. Otherwise, I would still be a useless person now."
The sickly young boy was surprised, "Your sister is so young, how can she be proficient in medicine?"
Erbao replied, "That's not the case. I just mastered some strange and unusual skills. My body was invaded by evil spirits before. After my sister helped me to eliminate them, my illness was cured."
The frail boy looked at Xiao Yuanbao with more respect and emotion in his eyes.
“That’s great.”
Then, Erbao politely introduced himself, "We are from Baili Town, Kinmen County. My name is Tang Yi. May I ask what your names are, brothers?"
The sickly young man also introduced himself.
"We are originally from Beijing. My parents brought me and my younger brother back to Beijing to visit relatives. My name is Jin Shaoxuan and this is my twin brother, Jin Shaoyuan. Sorry, my brother has some problems with his brain. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two."
Erbao replied, "We are sick because we are unwilling to do so. We are also heading to the capital. If we are destined to meet, you can come to our room and visit us when you are free."
"I am ten years old this year. May I ask how old you are, brother?"
"Nine years old is enough. My sister Xiao Yuanbao is four years old."
"Brother Tang Yi, sister Xiao Yuanbao, it is fate that we are on the same boat. Our family often travels to the capital, so we can travel together. If you encounter any difficulties or confusion on the road, you can ask parents for help..."
Erbao and Jin Shaoxuan had a very pleasant conversation.
While they were talking, Xiao Yuanbao had been taking a close look at the two frail young brothers.
The little guy was so confused by what he saw.
His mouth was raised high.
Suddenly, the sickly boy's dull brother became excited and wanted to jump off the fence, "Fish, big fish, brother, big fish, go catch a big fish..."
