Chen Yuezhi quickly took out the pills, poured water, and handed them to Jiang Xiao.

After Jiang Xiao took the medicine, he quickly lay down on the bed in the cabin.

The bedding on the bed in the cabin was provided by the boatman and was not clean. Fortunately, Chen Yuezhi was prepared and brought clean bedding herself, otherwise she would not have been able to endure it for half a month.

There were many people on the boat and it was noisy. Jiang Pan greeted the mother and daughter: "Don't run out if you have nothing to do. Just stay in the room. If you need anything, just tell me."

Jiang Xiao waved her hands feebly, she didn't even want to get off the bed.

Chen Yuezhi had no curiosity about the outside world, so she sat quietly in the cabin writing and reading.

Only Jiang Xiao couldn't sit still, and it was okay to let her stay in the room for half a day. For half a month, she felt that she could be shut down.

But it was really not good for a little girl to run wild outside, so Jiang Wan took out the secret weapon she had prepared long ago.

A set of men's clothing tailored to her body!

Chen Yuezhi stared at the clothes and asked, "Where did this come from?"

There is no boy as tall as Jiang Wan in the family, so naturally these clothes are not brought from home.

Jiang Wan put on clothes and said, "Of course I went to the clothing store to buy it myself. How can I go around the world without preparing a few outfits?"

She originally planned to wear this dress when she opened a teahouse in the future, but she didn't expect it to be put to use in advance.

Chen Yuezhi watched her change into clothes, and then took out a folding fan from her bag.

Jiang Wan took the folding fan and raised it on Chen Yuezhi's chin without fear of death, pretending to be frivolous and said: "This beautiful elder sister, look at me, young master, how handsome I am in this outfit."

Chen Yuezhi smiled and pinched her face: "Whose young master is this, so handsome? There is a little girl in my family who is very pretty. Can I be your wife?"

Jiang Xiao was feeling uncomfortable at first, but in the end, the two women started laughing.

Jiang Wan's appearance was very successful. She was still young and a little chubby. At first glance, she looked like a young master from a rich family.

"Mom, I'm going to go outside for some fun."

After saying that, Jiang Wan slipped out.

Chen Yuezhi did not restrain her. The little girl was not old, but she was very capable. In addition, there was an old god with boundless power. Chen Yuezhi was quite reassured about her safety. He only told her not to go to the side of the boat.

Be careful of falling into the river.

When Jiang Wan arrived on the deck, the cool river breeze blew, and she felt a lot more energetic.

There were quite a few people coming out on the deck to enjoy the breeze and enjoy the scenery, but they were all men.

These people are all dressed in different styles. There are well-dressed merchants and ordinary people wearing patched clothes.

Three or five of us gathered together to chat and exchange information with each other.

Jiang Wan was not very interested in the content of their conversation, so she chose a place to stand and watch from a distance.

It was already the end of September, and the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River had begun to drop, but it was still a little hot during the day.

This big river connects the three prefectures in Jiangnan District. You can see many houses along the river. When passing some towns, you can even see painted boats parked along the river.

They had just set out for half a day and had not reached Jiangning Mansion yet, so it seemed normal along the way.

When the ship passed outside Jiangning Prefecture in the evening, the scene was not so beautiful.

A group of refugees gather at the riverside to get water for fishing. If someone is lucky enough to catch a fish, someone will immediately rush to fight for it. Some people are even pushed into the rushing river during the fight and are quickly swept away by the river.

But the fight did not end because of this. The people who were swept away disappeared completely after floating and sinking in the river for a few times.

Some kind-hearted people on the boat shouted: "Find a way to save people quickly!"

Jiang Wan stood aside and shook his head. There was nothing he could do to save them. The refugees were all so thin that they fell into the river and had no strength to struggle. Besides, the river was so fast, who would dare to go down to rescue them rashly?

When Gu Chenzhou heard the noise and came out of the cabin, he saw Jiang Wan looking at the river with a cold face, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Watching a living person die in front of you...isn't it scary?"

Jiang Wan turned her head and glanced at him. Which of the scenes she had seen in her previous life was not more terrifying than the one before her?

But if she really said that, it would seem that she was too cold-blooded.

The child in front of her must have seen extremely horrific and bloody scenes and is relatively sensitive to matters of life and death. She had better not irritate him.

So Jiang Wan nodded, "A little bit."

Gu Chenzhou chuckled lightly, "Lying, you are clearly not afraid at all."

"Why are you not afraid of such a scary scene?"

Jiang Wan scratched his head, "After all, I have seen more terrifying scenes. On the way from Jianzhou to Jiangnan, we experienced several crises. There were bandits and wolves. Which one is not life-threatening? Are you afraid? You don't care at all.

If you want to survive, you must face those threats bravely and then find a way to win!"

"I have a wolf skin cloak. It is the skin of a snow-white wolf, which is the king of the wolves. I killed it myself and skinned it to make a cloak. If I had been afraid at that time, I would have probably been killed.

The wolf king is trapped in those barren mountains and ridges."

"When people are in adversity, they have no right to be afraid. Only those flowers that have been protected in the greenhouse have the right to be afraid."

Gu Chenzhou's expression was stern, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, and he chewed the words gently, "When people are in adversity, they have no right to be afraid..."

Jiang Wan turned to look at him, "Gu Chenzhou, although I don't know your experience, and I don't want to know it, but you remember, instead of letting yourself be afraid, it is better to make yourself strong, so strong that those who threaten you are afraid of you."

"You are too weak."

After saying that, Jiang Wan turned around and ran away, fearing that Gu Chenzhou would beat her up later.

Gu Chenzhou didn't move at all, standing on the deck, thinking about Jiang Wan's words.

He is indeed too weak.

That's why he kept getting sick, and even couldn't help but lose control when stimulated by those pictures.

If he were stronger and more ruthless, he wouldn't be able to bear the stimulation anymore, right?

Yan Li waited in the cabin for a long time but did not see Gu Chenzhou come back. Worried that he would fall ill, he hurriedly looked for him, only to find him standing alone on the deck, facing the river, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Zhou'er, the wind has picked up, go back."

Gu Chenzhou looked back at him and said, "Master, is there any way to make me no longer afraid of those things?"

Over the years, Yan Li was afraid of irritating him and had been trying to lead him to avoid scenes that were too bloody. But their identities meant that they could not completely avoid those scenes. Every time he was stimulated, Gu Chenzhou would think back to those scenes.

Things will then get out of control and become ill.

Just after listening to Jiang Wan's words, Gu Chenzhou suddenly had a bold idea.

That’s fighting fire with fire!

The more afraid you are, the more you have to face it!
