Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 9 Disaster
Xiaodouzi raised his head and glanced at Gu Heng, with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

Gu Heng said: "If you find your father, you have to repay us well, do you understand?"

Xiaodouzi nodded quickly, picked up his chopsticks and ate all the noodles in the bowl.

Gu Heng took Xiaodouzi back to the pier.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen was a little impatient for waiting, and she looked at Xiaodouzi with disgust.

"If you find dad, you have to thank us very much, at least a dozen taels of silver!"

Xiaodouzi nodded, and he said, "Naturally, my father is very good at reading, and he might have already made a name for himself in the capital by now."

Gu Heng looked at Xiaodouzi's earnest expression, and she couldn't help feeling that this kid knew quite a few idioms.

The three returned to the boat.

The boss of the boat immediately turned down when he saw Xiaodouzi.

"You didn't lose the child, did you?"

When Chen heard this, he was immediately annoyed.

"My mother bought two tickets, not to mention she died on your boat, and you still want to lose her child. You are not afraid that Mrs. Du will turn into a ghost and come looking for you at night."

The boss of the boat turned pale with fright when he heard this, and he stammered: "Anyway, anyway, I don't care, you take care of this matter."

Gu Heng immediately became angry when he heard this.

"Mr. Du paid the boat fare for two people, and now he is dead. No matter how you look for it, you have to take care of the child's food. Everyone judges. The boss of this boat is too shrewd. You have taken advantage of everything!"

The people on board started booing.

The boat boss had no choice but to let Xiaodouzi stay on the boat and eat for free.

Back in the dead man's cabin, Mrs. Chen has been calculating how much money they need to spend to get to the capital.

Gu Heng was thinking about how they would survive in the capital.

It costs money to go to the capital, but it takes money even more to survive in the capital.

They also only know that their elder brother took his elder sister to seek refuge with a former classmate who is now studying in the Imperial College.

Gu Heng thought of her brother and sister.

Gu Changfeng, the older brother, is thoughtful and intelligent, and he is a very man of the city.

Elder sister Gu Rong is a woman with a delicate mind and a lot of courage. The two of them never discussed anything with Chen Shi, and naturally they would not tell Gu Heng.

Gu Changfeng went to the capital to take the exam, and he brought his younger sister with him, plus some facts that Mrs. Chen deliberately concealed.

Gu Heng always felt that this trip to the capital might not be that simple.

All the way to the north along the river, the weather gradually warmed up.

The small cabin was unbearably hot, so Chen took them to sleep on the deck.

I'm not afraid of any unruly people. At night, the deck is full of people sleeping, the old and the weak, women and children huddled together. Although there are mosquitoes everywhere, it is cooler than the cabin after all.

But Gu Heng couldn't sleep. I don't know if she was particularly attractive to mosquitoes. Thanks to her, Chen and Xiaodouzi slept very soundly.

Gu Heng sighed quietly.

Perhaps it was God who took pity on her, a strong wind came from nowhere, and the mosquitoes above the crowd were blown dizzy in an instant.

But the wind was really strong, and it was accompanied by heavy rain.

Gu Heng hurriedly pushed Chen to wake up, and Chen carried Xiaodouzi into the cabin, and the people who were resting on the deck also returned to the cabin one after another.

The cabin was still stuffy and hot, but it was already the middle of the night, and many people ignored the heat and went straight to sleep.

But Gu Heng felt a little uneasy.

The wind and rain were raging outside, and the boat floated and sank.

Gu Heng listened for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the sleepiness, and fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, she suddenly heard a loud noise in a trance.

Mrs. Chen pushed Gu Heng: "Ah Heng, I'm afraid this boat has hit a rock, let's run away!"

Gu Heng hurriedly got up, she pulled Xiaodouzi and followed Mrs. Chen to the deck with the flow of people.

It was not yet dawn at this time, but the morning light on the river could be vaguely seen. Several extremely luxurious ships straddled in front of their small boat, and the two ships collided.

The big ship was undamaged, but their little boat was about to sink.

Mrs. Chen muttered to herself: "What evil did I do? Going to the capital has gone through all kinds of hardships. Does God not want me to go to enjoy the blessings?"

Chen's words made Gu Heng a little puzzled.

Go to the capital to enjoy happiness?
People on the deck were panicked. After all, the people on this kind of boat were all from poor families, and some of them were weak and fainted from fright.

I heard that many people who did not come out of the cabin were already dead. The boat sank slowly, and the owner of the boat had already rowed away.

The boat was in the middle of the river, and no one with good water quality could swim to the other side.

They are sure to die.
