River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 156
"Big brother, this...what the hell is going on?" Li'er was confused and panicked.

Jiang Ling didn't explain much, just said: "It's good to forget what happened before, just treat it as a dream."

A child of six or seven years old is always too young, and it is difficult for her to understand when she talks too much.

"When you get here, can you remember where the way home is?"

At this time, it should be around Yin time. After the beginning of spring, the days will be long and the nights will be short, and the sky will be bright at the end of Yin time.

At this time, in the eastern sky, there is also a faint bright white hidden under the dark clouds.

Li'er looked around and shook her head.

"This area is under the jurisdiction of Guo Bei. Since you can't find your way home, how about I take you to the county seat and ask the government for help?"

Although the government doesn't do much work, as long as it clears up money, it should not be difficult.

Li'er heard this, but shook her head again, with a frightened expression on her face: "Big brother, don't take me to the government, I... I'm afraid."

"Why are you afraid of the government?"

"Daddy said, if the government knew about our family's existence, they would definitely arrest us and send us to prison."

Although she couldn't say exactly, but her father should have warned her repeatedly.

Either her ancestors committed a crime, or her father committed a crime, so they escaped and took refuge in the mountains.If you go to the government, you are throwing yourself into a trap.

Jiang Ling said: "If I don't ask the government for help, I don't know where the Honggoupo is."

Li'er hesitated for a while, then suddenly asked: "Then where is big brother going?"

Jiang Ling said: "I'm wandering around, the general route is going north."

Li'er asked, "Will big brother pass through Nanjiang County?"

"Nanjiang County?"

Nanjiang is the hometown of Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian.

If you go by water, go eastward, get out of Linzhou, and go down two places, you will be roughly close.

Jiang Ling: "Do you want to go to Nanjiang?"

Li'er bowed her head and said, "I have an aunt who lives in Nanjiang. My father once said that if one day I can't find him, I can go to Nanjiang to find my aunt."

Jiang Ling: "If you go to Nanjiang, do you know where your aunt lives?"

Li'er nodded, and said affirmatively, "I've been there twice, I remember the way."

Hearing her answer, Jiang Ling silently nodded.

Taking her back to the dilapidated meditation room, he pointed to the haystack beside him and said, "You can rest for a while. When the sky is bright, I will take you to the ferry to see if there is a boat. If there is, I will take you along. "

"Thank you...thank you, big brother." Li'er was full of gratitude.

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, he lay down on the haystack and squinted for a while.

At Mao, dawn broke.

Seeing that she hadn't woken up yet, Jiang Ling thought that Lanruo Temple was located in a deep mountain, if he took her by land, he would have to walk tens of miles in detours.

Before she woke up, he took her and turned the ring on his hand.

Under the space jump, just like last time, after leaving Lanruo Temple, Guobei County is already far away.

When the morning light is strong and dazzling, Li'erfang wakes up from her dream.

Wiping his eyes and sitting up, he saw that the surrounding area was desolate, but it was a road.

She was confused: "Brother, where is this? How did we get here?"

Jiang Ling didn't want her to remember those bad scenes, so he said, "We've always been here."

"But...but..." She clearly remembered that there was a meditation room last night, why did she disappear when she opened her eyes?
But Jiangling has already started to move forward. "There is a ferry not far ahead. I don't know if there are any boats going east due to the recent flood in the Hujiang River. If not, then we will have to stay in Guobei County for a few days."

Li'er hurriedly followed his footsteps.

When the two reached the ferry,

Seeing the location of the ferry, there happened to be a large ship parked there.

At this time, the water level in the Hujiang River seemed to have dropped a lot.

'The previous mountain torrents erupted all because of floods.Since the Chilian Huayou Snake left Jiaodong, the flood was indeed expected to fall. '

"Big brother, it's such a big boat." Li'er was surprised to see it.

The big ship is divided into three layers.

The length of the hull alone is 18 meters.

For a ship of this size, it is not a problem to sail in the coastal waters.

There is a flag on the boat, which is moving in the wind at this time, waving left and right.

On the flag and streamer, the word [Duan] is embroidered.

It should be the surname of the owner of the ship.

In the entire ferry, except for this big ship, the rest of the small boats are parked on the shore.

Although the current water level of the Hujiang River has dropped a lot, it is still inconvenient for small boats to navigate.

As he approached, Jiang Ling saw several boatmen moving supplies on board.

Among them, there are more than a dozen large wooden barrels, all filled with fresh water.

Jiang Ling was curious and asked, "Excuse me, little brother, why are you carrying so much fresh water for a long voyage?"

The little brother was also considered easy, and replied: "This boat has to go to the capital along the waterway. The journey is long, and the fresh water is not enough."

Go to the capital?
This is a coincidence.

Jiang Ling: "Then can outsiders carry this ship?"

Looking at the appearance of this boat, one can tell that it is a private boat. Whether it can carry it or not is not something that can be talked about with a few dollars.The first thing to look at is the attitude of the host.

The boatman glanced at him, smiled unexpectedly, and said, "Are you a scholar who wants to go to Beijing for the exam? If you want to take a boat to Beijing, then don't think about it. Duan Daguan's boat does not carry outsiders. .”

Jiangling: "How about paying the boat fare?"

The boatman's smile became stronger: "Mr. Duan will be rare for the boat fare? Little brother, you should hurry up and set off by land."

Sure enough, for a person who can own such a large private boat, it is indeed not rare for a mere boat fee.

While talking, I saw that a group of people were suddenly driven off the boat.

Those people were all carrying medicine boxes, and they didn't dare to get angry when they were driven away, they just ran down in despair.

Among those people, Jiang Ling also saw a familiar doctor.

The doctor is the doctor in charge of a medical clinic in Guobei County.

After disembarking, they ran back to the city together.

Jiang Ling asked the boatman curiously, "Brother, what happened to these doctors?"

The boatman was sealing the barrel, and he said as he did it, "Hey, don't you want to earn a few rewards? Mrs. Duan is old, and she had a headache yesterday, and she had a severe headache. And the boat happened to be passing through Guobei County. , Duan Daguan asked people to post a bounty in Guobei County to find a doctor. If someone can cure Mrs. Duan's headache, he will reward Wenyin with a hundred taels of silver.

These doctors came last night, and they are not the first batch to leave.

They want to make that money, but suffer from not having the ability.This group of doctors seemed to be driven out because of their poor medical skills. "

"Oh?" Jiang Ling looked at the boat: "If you are a doctor, can you get on the boat and have a try?"

The boatman nodded: "If you are a doctor, you can go on the boat and try it. If it weren't for the movement of the boat, Mrs. Duan's headache would intensify, and Duan Duan would have left long ago. This Guobei County is a small place after all. In Zhou County, there may be more famous doctors. Here, I guess, you won’t be able to find any capable doctors."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Ling suddenly winked at Li'er, and led her towards the step of the big boat.
