Shen Zhimu had already prepared the candy and put it aside. It would be rebellious and pretentious not to drink it anymore.
Nan Qing, looking forward to death, picked up the bowl of stinky and deadly medicine and drank it in one gulp, "Bitter..."
Her whole little face was wrinkled together, and she was so miserable that she couldn't control her expression.
Shen Zhimu was a little surprised to see her like this, so bitter? She really drank it all in one gulp, "Come on, open your mouth."
Nan Qing opened her mouth, and the next second her cold fingers touched her lips, and a piece of candy was stuffed into her mouth. Nan Qing quickly sucked it in her mouth.
The taste of sugar melted in the mouth, slowly dissipating the bitter taste of the medicine, and Nan Qing's expression finally became less solemn.
Shen Zhimu also breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that her medicine was more painful than his own, but he was in good health and had not taken medicine for decades.
"This prescription is indeed a bit bitter, but it is effective. You only need to take it for one month."
Generally speaking, most of these prescriptions for recuperating the body need to be taken for a long time, lasting several months.
Nan Qing sat down with candy in his mouth: "Master, when will the boat leave?"
Her words were a little slurred while holding the candy in her mouth, and he could see her small tongue rolling around the candy and her lips.
Shen Zhimu pinched his fingers and said lightly: "It's almost time to leave."
"Master, will you get seasick? I heard people say that you will get sick if you ride on a boat. I have never been on a big ship since I was a child, so I am worried that I will get dizzy and uncomfortable." The original owner always traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
"Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet. Just take a good rest after the ship leaves."
"Um."
Shen Zhimu thought it would be good to have a young female apprentice. Look, how well-behaved and obedient she is.
When the time came, bells rang from the shore, indicating that the ship was about to leave.
Many reluctant tourists stood on the boat deck watching the farewell to their loved ones on the shore.
Some people's eyes were red, some were waving goodbye, and some were still trying to hand over things.
Nan Qing opened the window and looked at the scene below.
Er Er: "In this era, it is difficult to get together after separation. If possible, we may be able to send family letters, but if not, there will be no news from now on."
"Um."
Nan Qing thought for a while, then returned to her room, picked up pen and ink, and wrote a letter home: "When we get to the next stop, ask someone to send the letter back to the imperial capital."
Er Er: "It's okay, the original owner's father loves the original owner very much. He will definitely be sad for a long time after the original owner leaves."
"Use her body to help her fulfill her filial duty."
The big ship was drifting and moving forward slowly on the Gujiang River. It was already dark, and the sounds of birds could be heard from the woods on both sides of the river. The sound of water flow was so noisy that people could not sleep.
"Gulu..."
The strange sound of water was covered by the sound of a large ship moving.
Gradually fog began to form on the river. It was already cold at night, but now the temperature dropped sharply.
Black shadows gathered under the water, hovering at the bottom of the boat, waiting for an opportunity.
The night watchman on the boat shivered from the cold, and even his drowsiness was driven away by the cold.
"Oh, why is it so cold? It's already summer, so there's no reason why it's so cold at night."
"Look, why is there such a heavy fog? Doesn't the river only get foggy in the morning?"
Several people felt something was wrong: "Don't encounter any dirty things..."
"Bah, bah, bah, don't say such unlucky words."
"In all my years of sailing, I have only heard stories about ghosts, but I have never encountered one..."
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and something hit the bottom of the boat! In an instant, the entire hull trembled, and the movement woke up the guests in the boat, and the candles in many rooms were lit.
"What happened? Did the boat hit a rock?"
"Why is it so cold? Hiss, it's so cold."
"..."
The sound is noisy.
Nan Qing put on her clothes and pushed open the door and walked out. She went to knock on Shen Zhimu's door: "Master, Master."
Shen Zhimu flew down from the sky, "I'm here."
"Master? You are not in the room... did you hear the sound? Why is the boat rocking? What happened?"
