Chapter 304: Handan River No. 1, help!
The two children sleep soundly now. In the past, one of them would always cough when sleeping, and the other would easily have nightmares and would wake up crying and screaming as soon as he fell asleep.
Since wearing the talisman given by Xiao Yuanbao, the child has slept well for two nights.
Also, the talisman that I used to wear was effective, but after two nights, its color faded and it was no longer effective.
I have worn these two talismans for two nights now, and they are still dark in color, with little change in color, which means that they are not expensive.
With comparison, you will have a clear idea.
This is a rare good thing!
Both the Jin masters had to submit.
I missed the Cai family and I don’t know if I can meet them again next time.
The first time it was a gift, the second time it was purchased.
Cai did not quote a high price, fifty taels per piece. Madam Jin thought it was a bargain. Such a good thing was only sold for fifty taels. The useful talismans she had obtained outside all started at one hundred taels.
So, I bought ten in one go.
Cai was short of money, and the sudden arrival of such a big business just solved her urgent problem.
Anyway, Xiao Yuanbao can draw about ten pictures every day.
Cai's favorability towards Madam Jin increased greatly.
Even looking at the brothers Jin Shaoxuan, they seem to be big money sponsors.
However, I still feel sorry for the twins. They are such good kids, but it's a pity that one is sick and the other is stupid.
Alas, life is full of suffering.
"The effects of talismans cannot be stacked. No matter how many talismans you wear, only one will be effective. It is best to put away unused talismans to prevent them from being contaminated and becoming ineffective. Put them in a clean and ventilated place..."
Cai was admonishing her.
Mrs. Jin agreed to everything.
Xiao Yuanbao and the others were outside on the deck, watching the wind and enjoying the scenery.
The wind on the river was a bit cool, and the kid sneezed twice.
Erbao hurried back to the house to get a coat for his sister.
Suddenly, the fool Jin Shaoyuan became inexplicably excited, "There's a boat, there's a boat coming!"
Jin Shaoxuan quickly grabbed him and comforted him, "It's normal to have boats in the river, don't be afraid..."
As he was speaking, he saw a fishing boat passing by in the distance on the river. It was coming from the opposite side.
Heading straight towards Hanhe No. 1.
There were other passengers on the deck, enjoying the scenery together.
Someone exclaimed, "Is this boat looking for death? How can it row straight over here?"
"That's right. Our Hanhe No. 1 is a big ship. If a small fishing boat like this approaches so recklessly, it might be overturned..."
"Either the boatman has lost his mind, or there is some other reason."
…
Xiao Yuanbao's hearing is better than that of ordinary people.
She heard a sound far away.
"Second brother, the man rowing the fishing boat seems to be asking for help!"
Erbao and his friends pricked up their ears to listen.
Sure enough, I vaguely heard some sounds.
"…Help! Hanhe No. 1, help!"
The man rowed the boat with all his might and shouted for help.
Getting closer.
Hanhe No. 1 also gradually stopped. If a ship blocking the road did not stop, it would be directly overturned.
As the Han River No. 1 stopped, the huge sound of water waves also subsided.
At this time, the sounds from the fishing boat on the opposite side can be heard clearly.
Everyone heard it clearly.
"…Help! There are water ghosts ahead. Several of our fishing boats have capsized. Please, Hanhe No. 1, save us. Are there any sailors who can swim? Please help and save people! I beg you!"
…
The man rowing the boat was an old fisherman who looked very energetic. At this moment, he was terrified and his face was covered with tears and snot.
Arrived in front of Handan River No. 1.
The Hanhe No. 1 was a large ship. After it stopped, it rushed forward a considerable distance and almost capsized the small fishing boat.
The old fisherman who was manning the fishing boat also had some skills. When the Hanhe No. 1 rushed over with inertia, he used the bamboo pole to move the boat in an arc and narrowly avoided the danger.
The steward of the ship came out, stood on the deck, and shouted, "You are so bold! Our Hanhe No. 1 is a government commercial ship. When we are sailing, idle ships must give way to us. You deserve to be killed. I think you are tired of living! How dare you stop our Hanhe No. 1!"
The old fisherman knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly knelt on the fishing boat and kowtowed to the helmsman to apologize.
"I am at fault. I kowtow to you, sir! But I really have no other choice. I hope you will forgive me! Please, sir, save me!"
After having a tantrum at the helm, I felt a little better.
Don't be fooled by his fierce appearance and burly build, he still has a conscience, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped the boat just now and would have crashed into it directly. He is not responsible at all and it was legal.
"What happened? Tell me!"
The old fisherman cried bitterly, "I am a fisherman from a nearby fishing village. Today the weather is good, so our village organized a fishing team to go out fishing in the river in front. The Han River is wide and has many fish. It can usually support several surrounding fishing villages. Unexpectedly, not long after we went there, we encountered a water ghost! The water ghost was so fierce! We worshipped the Grandmother of the Han River on our fishing boats, but it was useless. It directly overturned several of our boats and dragged everyone on the boats into the water..."
"As soon as I saw something was wrong, I quickly fled the area to find someone to help me. There were no other large ships passing by along the way, so I had no choice but to ask for help from the Hanhe No. 1. Sailors, please save us. Although we are all losers, we have a family at home who is waiting for us to support them!"
The old fisherman spoke with deep emotion.
The man at the helm still had a stern face.
"Water ghost? Is it one water ghost or multiple water ghosts? Although we are an official merchant ship, we are only sailing, not catching ghosts. Even if you beg us, we can't do anything. Besides, there are so many tourists on the ship, and they all have things to do. If we delay the arrival at the shore and affect the itinerary of the passengers, I will be in trouble."
He deliberately spoke in such a stern and unreasonable manner.
After saying this, he looked at the passengers on the boat.
At this moment, everyone was startled by the commotion.
The nobles in the upper class cabin and the poor passengers in the lower class cabin all heard their conversation clearly.
After all, most people are kindhearted. "Let's go and have a look! It's right in front of us anyway, and we're going to pass by there too. Our Hanhe No. 1 is so big that the water ghosts will definitely not be able to overturn it. With so many of us, if everyone spits, we can scare the water ghosts away."
"That's right. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It is a good deed."
"Save as many as you can, they are all miserable people..."
Some people objected, "A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If you can avoid getting involved with evil things like water ghosts, don't get involved. If you get involved, you won't be able to get rid of it and your life will be in vain."
"I've heard of water ghosts before. They appear to find scapegoats. I'm weak and my horoscope is weak. The Taoist priest told me to avoid such evil places, but I don't want to go."
"I have a child at home, and the child is weak and cannot see these things..."
