Chapter 6 Leaving Nanjing
When Gu Heng heard these words, if he said he was not emotional, it would be a lie.

"Mr. Lan Sheng, do you have a pen and paper?"

Liang Lansheng took Gu Heng to his room. The room was small and shabby, but very clean. Except for a set of hanging costumes, there was only a table with some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and some manuscripts.

Gu Heng picked it up and looked at it carefully, and found that Liang Lansheng's calligraphy was very good.

"Mr. Lan Sheng's handwriting is really good."

Liang Lansheng smiled and said, "You can call me Lan Sheng. If I don't perform on stage, I can't be called a gentleman."

Gu Heng nodded, Liang Lansheng rubbed the ink for Gu Heng, Gu Heng stopped talking, but wrote down the general story content of some famous dramas that he remembered.

There are not too many, but each one is a famous article that has been circulated for a long time.

Gu Heng's calligraphy is not very good, so it took a lot of time.

By the time I finished writing, the wick in front of the desk case was almost burnt out.

Liang Lansheng took the paper and looked at it briefly. There were only a few stories, but if you read it carefully, you would find that each of these stories was very exciting, and Liang Lansheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Little Aheng must be an expert. If he learns to compose, Shen Yannian in the capital might not be as good as you."

Gu Heng was a little embarrassed, these famous operas had nothing to do with her.

Liang Lansheng took out a white jade pendant from his bosom, he handed it to Gu Heng, and then said in a low voice: "I don't have anything, but I don't know how to thank you. This jade pendant has been with me for many years, so it should be worth something. I will send it to you."

Gu Heng took it, starting with Wen Run, it should be of some value, she was about to decline.

But Liang Lansheng said: "If you have nowhere to go in the future, or if you have difficulties, you can sell it, and there will be something close to you."

Gu Heng wanted to send the things back, but he also knew that in his situation, it was really not suitable for him to hypocritically refuse.

The capital is in the north, at least two months away from Nanjing.

The money Liang Hongyu gave was not too much, they really needed some support.

Gu Heng put the jade pendant in his arms, and then said to Liang Lansheng: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Liang Lansheng smiled helplessly.

"I see, it's getting late, little Aheng, let's go to rest."

Gu Heng took the jade pendant and left Liang Lansheng's room.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Chen packed her things early. She calculated the money Liang Hongyu sent and the money she earned in the city of Nanjing in the past few days. It was enough to save some money.

Chen shi immediately beamed with joy.

At this time, Xiao Tao came in from the outside, holding a woman's clothes in her hand, she said to Gu Heng: "This is the clothes that the class leader asked me to give you, you are fourteen or five years old, but you are dressed like a child , it’s no different than other places in the capital, if you don’t wear good clothes, people will look down on you.”

Gu Heng took the clothes, it was a summer dress of good material.

It's almost summer now.Gu Heng was still wearing thick spring clothes, which was really inappropriate.

Gu Heng hurriedly said to Xiaotao: "Okay, sister Xiaotao please help me to thank the class leader."

Xiaotao hugged her chest, seemed a little angry, and also a little bit reluctant, she said in a low voice, "Thank you for this new play, but we are destined to have no fate, the troupe master and brother Lan Sheng have already gone out, you two There's no need to say goodbye."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly said: "Okay, then I have Lao Xiaotao, let's go now, and we will meet again by fate."

But Xiaotao didn't let her go, she said, "Wait a minute, the kitchen asked me to bring you something, although it's just steamed buns and pickles, but you don't think you are too particular about it."

Xiaotao took out a large bag of dry food, Chen took it happily.

Gu Heng quickly thanked Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao said impatiently: "Okay, let's go."

Chen took Gu Heng and left the Chunxi class.

They went to the pier in the west of Nanjing City and found the cheapest boat, but this time it was better, with beds for sleeping.

Before boarding the boat, Mrs. Chen bought a lot of dry food. Everything on this boat is much more expensive than on land. They will have to sit on this boat for at least a month.

Naturally, we can save as much as we can.

Sleeping in the same room with them is a mother and son. The mother is about 30 years old, and the child is only six or seven years old. He started to get seasick and vomited all the time when he came up. People in other rooms were unwilling to live with them.

The boss of the boat waived part of the boat fare for Chen, and Chen agreed.

The woman's surname is Du and it is said that she went all the way from Yunnan to the capital to find her husband.

Du's facial features are fair, but her skin is a bit dark. She speaks Mandarin with a strong local accent and is very enthusiastic.

"My baby is not used to going out for the first time."

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "It's okay. When I took the boat with my mother for the first time, I couldn't vomit, but I got used to it later. Maybe I have a folk remedy here. Would you like to give it to the baby?" Do you want to try?"

……

After going back and forth, Mrs. Chen actually became acquainted with Mrs. Du, and Gu Heng closed his eyes to rest and listened to the two of them chatting.

This Mrs. Du came to the capital to find someone, and it was her husband who was going to the capital to rush for the exam.

After his husband arrived in the capital, he sent letters every now and then, but the letters were cut off a year ago. Mrs. Du was worried about her husband's safety, so he took his seven-year-old child on the journey to Beijing.

It's just that Mrs. Du is like them, they don't have much money in their hands. Fortunately, there are many kind-hearted people along the way who see their mother and son are pitiful, so they take care of them.

This is how I came here all the way from Yunnan.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It's not an ordinary distance from Yunnan to the capital.

Mrs. Chen immediately decided to go with Mrs. Du, so she could have a support along the way.

Several people, An Ansheng, sat on the boat for half a month.

Chen Shi and Du Shi talked more and more speculatively, and every day was extremely lively.

But one day in the middle of the night, Mrs. Chen patted Gu Heng on the shoulder.

"Girl, mother is afraid of the dark, so let's go to the hut with mother."

She got up from the bed, at the moment Du Shi's son Xiaodouzi happened to be out.

Gu Heng hurriedly asked: "Little Douzi, what are you doing?"

The child didn't listen to Gu Heng's words at all, and ran directly onto the deck.

Mrs. Chen went to the toilet cursing, and Gu Heng waited for a long time beside the toilet, feeling that it was too smelly, so he went to the deck to get some air.

Under the dim moonlight, there was a boat floating on the huge river, and Xiaodouzi was standing on the deck of the boat. He was lying on the railing, looking at the starry sky above his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Heng walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaodouzi, are you still seasick?"

Xiaodouzi looked at Gu Heng, and he said, "Sister Ah Heng, my father doesn't want me anymore. People in the village say that if my father hasn't come back for so long, he definitely doesn't want me anymore."

Gu Heng sighed.

"Unless the person who said these words has seen it with his own eyes, otherwise it is unreasonable to believe that your father did not come back in the capital. It may be because he is sick, he may be busy, or it may be for other reasons. It cannot be because he does not come back. I'm sure he doesn't want you anymore."

Xiaodouzi opened his eyes wide.

"really?"
