Just as they were about to set off back to Peach Blossom Spring, the Silver Fox still did not appear.
Li Lanzhen was no longer worried about him, since Silver Fox knew the way back to Peach Blossom Spring anyway.
Last night, she went into her spatial dimension and took a look at the Crown Prince.
The prince remained lying quietly on the bed, as if he were asleep, but his complexion had improved considerably.
His lips were still bluish-black.
Li Lanzhen thought that once they returned to Red Peach Blossom Spring, Yinhe would also hurry back and take him to the medicine valley on the East Mountain.
See if there are any antidotes he needs, and prepare the antidote as soon as possible to detoxify the prince.
It's pitiful that a ten-year-old child became a victim of palace intrigue.
After breakfast, five carriages entered the backyard of Sifang Restaurant one after another.
Water Buffalo Mother wrapped Bao Ya Niang up tightly and then wrapped her in a quilt before Shui Shan carried her out and placed her on the carriage.
She herself wrapped her grandson up tightly and carried him into the carriage, placing him next to her eldest daughter-in-law.
Then they covered the mother and daughter with a thick cotton quilt.
The carriage was very large, and Water Buffalo Mother rode in it with Bao Ya and Anji.
Li Lanzhen, along with Xiaoju and her younger sister and brother, sat in another carriage.
As for the three young men, they can ride in a carriage if there is one, or walk if there isn't.
Li Lanzhen guessed that the other carriages probably carried tools for building the dock.
After the carriage left Youzhou city, Li Lanzhen lifted the curtain and saw that the three young men were indeed mingling with Manager Hua's men, chatting and laughing as they walked forward.
The carriage left the official road and turned onto the road leading to Moon Bay Wharf.
Li Lanzhen deliberately lifted the car door curtain to observe the road.
Due to the short construction time, the road repairs were rather rough.
The road should be wide enough for two horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side.
The road is paved with pebbles, so even if the ice melts, the snow melts, or it rains, the road won't become muddy.
I reckon Manager Hua will have to repair this road again next spring when it gets hot.
That day, while we were having dinner at Sifang Restaurant, Manager Hua told me that this road and Moon Bay Wharf belonged to Sifang Restaurant.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "Manager Hua certainly has a good eye."
If this dock becomes bustling with frequent ship traffic in the future, warehouses and shops can be built around it, which will bring him profits.
After swaying and rocking for less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped.
Li Lanzhen knew they must have arrived.
This time, the time was halved compared to the last time when there was no road repair.
After the carriage came to a stop, Li Lanzhen got off and saw the entire Moon Bay Wharf.
So beautiful, and so big!
It wasn't the little code she was thinking of.
Moon Bay is close to this road, and this side extends entirely into the water, about ten meters away.
The straight passage was paved with blue flagstones, and the sides were made of square timber.
At this time, three boats were moored in Moon Bay.
One boat is very large, and the other two boats are smaller.
However, even though it was a small boat, it was still much larger than the big boat that the village chief had seen.
Looking up, the large tree that used to lie across the inlet of Moon Bay is no longer there, and the bay entrance has been neatly repaired.
Li Lanzhen looked at the small hills surrounding Moon Bay.
A year later, perhaps restaurants, warehouses and shops should have been built here.
She could almost see the lively scene here.
Shaking her head, Li Lanzhen pulled herself out of her thoughts.
Manager Hua was already beckoning them to board the ship.
"Madam, please board this ship."
He pointed to the largest ship and said.
Li Lanzhen nodded, and everyone boarded the boat together, carrying their baskets and belongings.
Manager Hua led them across the deck and directly into the first floor.
Once inside, there is a small room, which should be like a reception room. Go through the back door of this room, and there is a long corridor with rooms on both sides.
Manager Hua arranged for them all to stay in the rooms on the right side of the ship.
After Li Lanzhen pushed open the door and went inside, she saw a wooden communal bed in the room.
This room should be big enough to sleep five or six adults.
She and Buffalo Mother, along with Bao Ya and Bao Ya's mother, the newborn baby, and Xiao Ju and her brother, lived in this room.
Angie lived in a separate room with his father.
After putting down her things, the water buffalo mother settled her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson in.
Li Lan was standing on the deck when she saw that, in addition to the deck they had just entered, there was another deck above it.
However, there aren't many rooms on this upper floor.
Li Lanzhen guessed that there must be a warehouse inside the ship's cabin.
Transporting vegetables back and forth like this would be so much more convenient.
Next autumn, large quantities of grain, vegetables, and seeds will be able to be safely transported out.
She was in a great mood. The sun was shining warmly today, and although there was a wind on the river, it wasn't freezing cold.
It was the children's first time on a boat, and such a big one at that. They were overjoyed, running around and shouting on the deck.
Li Lanzhen saw that the railings on the deck were quite high, so there shouldn't be any safety issues. She then ran around there with the children.
After Manager Hua and his men unloaded the goods from the carriages and loaded them onto the other two boats, the boats set sail.
Their large ship was preceded by a small ship, with the large ship in the middle and another ship following behind.
When traveling through Moon Bay, the boats move relatively slowly. However, once they turn north from the mouth of Moon Bay into the main river, the boats become faster.
Li Lanzhen stood on the deck, gripping the railing with both hands. The mountain breeze ruffled her hair and made her face feel cool, but she looked at the towering cliffs on both sides of the river with a good mood.
The sunlight shone on the river, making it sparkle.
In a particularly good mood, she really wanted to shout out loud.
Han Mingjiang saw Li Lanzhen and quickly ran to his mother's side.
He chuckled happily and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, this is much more impressive than the two of us paddling a log raft!"
"Traveling on a big ship is a completely different experience; the scenery on both sides of the river is also different."
Li Lanzhen nodded vigorously in agreement with his words.
Han Mingjiang leaned closer to Li Lanzhen and whispered.
"Mom, let's buy a boat like that too."
"Mom, do you think Grandpa can repair a boat like this?"
“When we get back to Peach Blossom Spring, go ask your grandfather.”
If all else fails, we'll buy a boat. Go back and talk to the village chief, ask Manager Hua how much silver a boat would cost.
We can use the money from selling vegetables to buy a boat.
The water buffalo listened from the side, his heart pounding, and he kept chuckling.
The water buffalo was overjoyed. He felt that his good luck had come after meeting Li Lanzhen, and so had the good luck of his whole family.
He felt a pang of regret. If only his father were still alive, their whole family could be together, and his mother wouldn't have to cry in the middle of the night, always thinking about his father.
The children are afraid to run freely now because the boat is rocking and they will fall if they lose their balance.
Even so, they were still very happy, slowly walking while holding onto the railing.
The group of people were happily enjoying the scenery and chatting on the deck.
Unexpectedly, two dark figures flew out from the ship behind them with a "whoosh".
Immediately afterwards, two dark figures flew off from their boat.
Everyone, including the children, gaped and stared wide-eyed!
