The first ten days were by land, and then we boarded a merchant ship and started by water.
Mu Siyu was most worried about Xiao Qing'er's condition. After two days on the water, she found that she was overly worried because Xiao Qing'er was in better condition than adults.
Lu Zhiyun plays with Xiao Qinger on the deck.
Mu Zhenghan had never been on a ship before, so he went to chat with the crew. He had many questions. Seeing that he was kind and generous, the crew members quickly got along with him because they answered whatever they asked.
Lu Shaoyu didn't waste any time, sitting on the deck with a book and reading. But judging from his demeanor, reading was the second priority, and enjoying the sea breeze was the purpose.
The water splashed, the waves roared, and there was a vast ocean in front of them. They had never seen such a beautiful scenery before.
Mu Siyu looked at everything in front of her and said, "It's really pleasant to have the wind blowing like this and look at the beautiful scenery."
Ziyuan said next to her: "It would be more comfortable if I had another cup of scented tea and a snack."
"You can get whatever you want on this boat. I'll go to the kitchen and ask what's for lunch." Zi Su said next to her.
Ziyuan pointed forward and shouted: "Madam, look, what is that?"
Zi Su, who was about to leave, heard the sound and looked over. He saw something black on the water in front of him and said, "It seems to be a person."
"How could a human be lying on the sea?" Ziyuan said, "There is water on all sides here, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. If it were a human being, could it still be alive?"
"Quickly notify the ship owner to come over." Mu Siyu said, "He has experience in this area. Just ask him to come over and take a look."
The boat owner rushed over quickly.
Seeing what was ahead, he called to the crew: "Tell the helmsman to go a little to the left, that's right...a little further forward..."
When they got closer and saw clearly what was in front of them, they were all horrified.
They are indeed people.
In addition to the dense crowd of people, there was also a destroyed ship.
"Look, this boat must be private." The owner of the boat said, "Look at these people... I'm afraid they will die early."
"Uncle, look at that man over there. He moved just now." Lu Zhiyun pointed at a small figure in front of him, "It's the one being held up by several people."
"It's really..." the ship owner looked at it and said, "hurry up and save people!"
The crew rescued the man.
Mu Siyu looked at the corpses and said, "It won't work if there are so many corpses left here."
"Madam, I know you mean well, but for people like us who live on the sea, dying at sea is not a strange thing. Don't look at them now, they are still floating on the water, waiting for their bodies to be eaten by seabirds
, after only the bones are left, it will gradually sink and become a resentful soul in the sea, never able to return to its hometown."
Mu Siyu also knew that what he said was true.
She said to Zisu Ziyuan: "Bring the young lady and the young master into the cabin, and don't come out yet."
There was a doctor on the ship who worked for the shipowner. The doctor examined the lucky man who was rescued and told him that he was just fainting from hunger.
A few days later, they stayed away from that area. Everyone was in a better mood and were willing to step out of the cabin to see the scenery outside.
"Mom, Young Master Jiang is awake and wants to come and thank you in person." Lu Shaoyu came over with a teenage boy.
Mu Siyu was playing with Lu Zhiqing when she heard his words and looked in the direction behind him.
The clothes that young man is wearing should belong to Fan Yan. Fan Yan is about the same age as him and about the same height. Looking at his appearance, the young man is very handsome, but his eyes are colder.
"Thank you madam for saving Jiang." Jiang Wanchen said gratefully.
"It was the ship owner and his crew who saved you, but it was my daughter who found you. I did nothing, so I don't deserve your thanks." Mu Siyu said, "As long as everything is alright. What are your plans next?"
?If you are on your way, we can give you a ride. If you want to go somewhere else, I can lend you money. You can just return it to me when we meet next time."
"Madam, don't you ask me who I am?" Jiang Wanchen said, "So many people have died, maybe I am a bad person."
"Those people are yours, right? Before they died, they tried their best to hold you up and prevent you from being submerged in the water. It shows that you are at least a popular master. You are not very old, about the same age as my son.
.Comparing my feelings with others, when I see a child your age, I will inevitably treat you as a junior and love him a little more. As for the bad guy you mentioned, it doesn’t matter. Save people first. If you are really a bad guy, why can’t so many of us be able to deal with you alone?
?But with your clean eyes and outstanding temperament, you must have an extraordinary background."
"This junior's surname is Jiang and his given name is Wanchen." Jiang Wanchen said, "The fifth prince recognizes this junior, so he is not a bad person. Madam, just don't worry."
"I guessed it." Mu Siyu looked at Fan Yan, "Not everyone can wear the clothes of the fifth prince? There are so many people on the ship. If he hadn't taken the initiative to lend you clothes, you wouldn't be able to wear his clothes."
"Madam, his father is the Minister of War." Fan Yan said, "We have played together since we were young, so we can be considered childhood sweethearts!"
"As expected." The second generation official said, "Then you are going to the capital as well?"
"yes."
"We happen to be on our way, so let's go together!" Mu Siyu said, "Whatever you need, look for the fifth prince, don't you know each other very well?"
Lu Zhiyun looked at Jiang Wanchen in front of him.
"Xiao Yuner, what do you think he is doing?" Fan Yan was unhappy.
A few days later, they landed ashore, bought a carriage locally and continued on their way.
At this time, Lu Zhiqing started to feel a little sleepy, so Mu Siyu slowed down. It took her two days to complete the one-day trip. By the time she arrived in the capital, it was a month longer than originally planned.
Lu Yi's majestic figure at the gate of the capital attracted many women's glances, and they came boldly to strike up a conversation, but a look from Lu Yi made them retreat.
Xia Kun said from the side: "Madam, if you see this scene, why don't you get angry? Mr. Lu, you are too ostentatious."
Lu Yi lowered his head and looked at himself: "Are you showing off?"
"You are dressed up carefully, like a girl who wants to meet her lover. Why don't you show off?" Xia Kun said, "It's okay now. Madam hasn't arrived yet, and she has attracted a group of flowers and butterflies."
"Don't talk too much."
"Don't worry, I won't talk too much." Xia Kun said, "Why didn't Mr. Lu come? Today, my wife is in the capital. Didn't he say he would come too?"
"Here we come." Lu Yi took a few steps forward.
The carriage came quickly.
Xia Kun stopped talking and stared at the carriage ahead.
"Xiao Yun'er and Shao Yu have celebrated their eleventh birthdays and have grown up a bit." Xia Kun said, "I'm not worried about that boy Shao Yu. I'm just afraid that he will be too boring and become the second you in the future.
"
The carriage stopped in front of them.
A hand opened the curtain, and then a flexible figure jumped down.
"Master Lu, Uncle Xia, long time no see." Fan Yan greeted the two of them with a smile.
