Brother Shen took office as the governor of Jingzhou. It was a long way from the capital to Jingzhou. He had to cross the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and it was very hard to travel through mountains and rivers.
Yan Bao's excitement about the trip had been worn out by the lagging carriage. He felt hopeless and lay in the carriage with lifeless eyes. When asked how long it would take to arrive, he was told either three to five days or one or two days.
Yan Bao can only give up.
Fortunately, the journey was relatively peaceful, we didn't encounter any trouble, and the weather was good.
Once you reach the river, you need to take a boat south.
They arrived at the dock, which was extremely lively, with many merchant ships coming and going, many workers transporting supplies at the dock, and various snacks.
Yan Bao took Ziyun to buy local snacks.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
Living by the river, of course, we eat fish and shrimp.
Seeing the fish noodles, fish meatball soup, glutinous rice cake fish, and fish soup on the small soup, Yan Bao likes to eat fish very much. Seeing so many delicious foods, Yan Bao and Ziyun each ordered one portion.
When Brother Shen found them, they were already full of food and had bought him a lot of delicious food.
Seeing Yan Bao’s face flushed and eyes sparkling with satisfaction while eating, Second Brother Shen smiled indulgently: “The boat is about to sail, if you want to buy anything, Second Brother will buy it for you.”
[Fruit!] Yan Bao saw someone selling mulberries and loquats, and pulled Second Brother Shen over.
When Brother Shen went out this time, her mother gave him a lot of silver and asked him to spend it. How could he go out without money?
Madam Shen also specifically told Second Brother Shen to keep the silver for himself and not to give it to Yan Bao. What if Yan Bao got the silver and he got lost and was penniless?
Second Brother Shen: “…”
Who is the brother and who is the sister?
Yan Bao bought the fruits he liked, and when he was paying, Brother Shen rushed to pay.
Yan Bao peeled a loquat and gave it to Second Brother Shen to eat: [Second Brother, you look so handsome when spending money, keep it up.]
Second Brother Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As long as she was happy, spending some money was nothing. When his mother gave him money, it was for him to spend.
We purchased a lot of local specialties and returned on the merchant ship with a full load.
They booked guest rooms, one cabin for Yan Bao, Zi Yun, and Second Brother Shen, and two cabins for the eight guards and the coachman.
The merchant ship went directly to Jingzhou Prefecture, and Yan Bao could eat and drink without worry on the ship.
As soon as they settled down, they went to the deck with Ziyun to enjoy the scenery.
Ziyun was such a loser that she felt dizzy soon after getting on the boat. She was vomiting and had a headache. It was obvious that she was seasick. Yan Bao asked Ziyun to lie down in the house while she went out to get some fresh air.
Ziyun didn't expect that she, who didn't get carriage sick, would get seasick.
Yan Bao was playing on the deck, and Brother Shen was fishing on the deck. She squatted there for a while, but felt bored, so she went to the top to take a look at the scenery on both sides of the river, a reed beach and green mountains on both sides.
It was different from the ferry river view she was familiar with.
This place is sparsely populated. Unless you reach the dock or on the sailing route, there are hardly any people around.
After watching for a while, Yan Bao saw that it was raining and immediately hid back.
Brother Shen's luck was not very good and he didn't catch any fish.
We had dinner on the boat, which was cooked by the boat lady and mainly consisted of fish.
Yan Bao wanted to eat pickled fish, so the boatwoman made a pot of pickled fish, which looked a little different from the pickled fish she had eaten before.
The fish here are not sliced, but served piece by piece. It doesn't look very good, so Yan Bao frowned slightly.
Brother Shen noticed it and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to eat?”
Yan Bao shook his head, knowing that there was nothing to choose at this time.
Second Brother Shen comforted him, "Yan Bao, be patient and wait until you get to Big Brother before you talk. For now, just make do with it."
Yan Bao was speechless: [Second brother, it's not that I don't want to compromise, it's this pickled fish. Not only is it cut into pieces, but it's also drugged. This cook is not a good person, she's a pirate!]
Second Brother Shen was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks on the ground with a click, which attracted the attention of the cook. She looked at their expressions with a bit of inquiry and vigilance, and looked at the two little fat sheep, thinking that they could not possibly see through his identity.
This boat has been cooperating with them for a long time, and they will never miss any big fish.
Just ask at the dock and you will know that this is a young fat sheep from the capital. He is not accompanied by any adults, but has a few guards with him.
Once on their ship, not only the imperial guards but even the imperial guards would be no match for them.
Seeing that they were generous and had heavy luggage, someone took a closer look and said that they had a lot of valuables with them and were worth robbing.
Look, they are planning to take action tonight.
In order to rob quietly, he had to knock the person unconscious.
She added some ingredients to the pickled fish tonight, and after she succeeded, she left the boat. Anyway, they didn't know she was hiding in the reed marsh.
I can't find it even if I want to.
However, looking at the brother and sister, the cook had other ideas.
Originally, she just wanted to rob the rich and help the poor, but when she saw the handsome young man and the lovely girl, who she had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life, the cook had other ideas. Her son needed a wife, so if she took this girl away, wouldn’t she have a child bride?
As for handsome young men, some of them are liked by older men and can be sold for a lot of money.
Thinking of this, the cook was ecstatic and wished she could let them drink more fish soup so that they could be taken away when they were dizzy.
Brother Shen Er never expected that the ordinary peasant woman who looked honest in front of him was actually a water bandit.
Are there any female pirates?
Second Brother Shen thought that the journey would be smooth, but when he was about to reach Jingzhou Prefecture, he encountered pirates.
I had only heard of pirates on the river bank before, but I didn't expect to encounter them so soon.
Second Brother Shen secretly clenched his fist, ready to kill this water bandit woman.
