on board.
Cui has taken medicine, and now she is much better.
"Mom, why don't you eat an orange? I ate this when I was fainted on the way back to Bianjing from Lin'an. The effect is good. The smell of the orange peel is also refreshing."
Su Junning peeled an orange and handed it over.
Cui nodded, took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating half an orange, he spoke.
"How long will it take for us to arrive in Lin'an? My stomach is overwhelmed. It's really uncomfortable."
Su Junning held the teacup and comforted her softly.
"I've already told the boatman to paddle quickly. I guess we can arrive in two days. If Mother is really uncomfortable, why don't we get off the boat at the next pier and rent a carriage to go overland?"
"That's not necessary." Cui shook her head, "Going by land is twice as slow as going by water, why don't I arrive in Lin'an earlier and have a good rest for a few days."
Su Junning nodded, "Mother, why don't you eat something tonight, you haven't eaten much in the past two days, how can your body survive, anyway, you still need a bowl of white porridge."
Not wanting to worry her daughter, Cui agreed.
"Okay, go back and rest, I have someone here to serve you."
Su Junning then got up and went back to her room.
Their family brought a lot of people this time, and they rented a double-decker boat. The mother and daughter lived on the second floor, and there was a cabin on the first floor, where the slaves rested and worked and stacked things.
Still very spacious.
Su Junning went back to her room, but couldn't sleep now, so she opened the window to enjoy the scenery.
In fact, nothing can be seen.
After all, this time is not compared to the later generations. The lights are bright everywhere, but I can barely see the nearby things clearly by the lights on my own boat.
The water surface was dark, mixed with the cool night breeze, which seemed quite depressing.
Su Junning looked at it for a while and lost interest.
"Miss, you might as well lie down and rest. Sleeping is the best way to pass the time when you're on your way." Nan Xu said while making the bed.
Su Junning sat by the window, lacking in interest.
"I've been sleeping for two days. It's been like this since I got on the boat. I really don't feel sleepy now."
As he spoke, he glanced around, saw the chessboard on the table, and said immediately.
"Why don't you play chess with me, let's play chess by the window, the breeze is blowing, it's quite comfortable."
Nan Xu pouted reluctantly.
"Miss is good at chess. How can I play chess with the lady who is a three-legged cat? You will lose all the time. It doesn't matter if the lady wins."
Seeing what she said, Su Junning thought for a while, then waved her hand and said.
"Then you go and call Yingmei and Jichun. The three of you play against me alone. If you win, I will go to rest and make you new clothes. How about it?"
"Of course it's great!" Nan Xu clapped her hands happily, "Miss, wait a minute, servant girl will go right away."
After speaking, he happily pulled people away.
Although Zhuge Liang is the best among the three cobblers, Nanxu, Yingmei, and Jichun are helpless in chess. The chess skills of the three cobblers are so poor that they can't compare with Su Junning alone.
So an hour passed in a flash, and the three maids still didn't win a game.
Nan Xu stomped her feet sadly.
"Stop playing, don't play anymore, you can't beat Miss anyway, it's almost time now, the servant has prepared hot water, Miss washes up and rests."
Su Junning grabbed her in a hurry and comforted her with a smile.
"Hey, just one more game, you three, I'll let you three tricks, okay? No matter if you win or lose this game, I'll go and rest, and I'll make clothes for you too."
The girls knew that the young lady was interested in playing, so they had to accompany her.
Clothes or not, it's good to have new ones, it doesn't matter if they don't have new ones, they follow Su Junning and they don't lack these things to eat and wear.
So several people set up the chessboard again.
After this game is over, it's really over half the time.
After agreeing not to continue playing, Su Junning naturally did not break her promise, but she was hungry after playing, and said she wanted to have a supper before going to bed.
Nan Xu had no choice but to go down and do it.
Seeing Yingmei and Jichun clear up the chessboard, Su Junning got up and left the room, and went to the corridor outside to breathe.
It was midnight, and although the moon was only a crescent, it was still bright.
On a clear spring night, with a bright moonlight, it looks pretty good.
But Su Junning looked at it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be a few small boats floating on the water in the distance.
But she couldn't see clearly, because the night was dark after all.
I just vaguely feel that the boat looks like a slender canoe that can only accommodate four or five people.
How could anyone go up the canal in a canoe at this late hour.
A trace of doubt flashed in Su Junning's heart, and she beckoned Yingmei and Jichun to come over and tell them to watch it too.
I don't know if it's because the distance is getting closer, or because the two girls have better eyesight. Not only did they see a canoe, but they also saw that the people sitting on the boat seemed to be all strong men.
"Miss, how do servants feel that they are all approaching our boat." Yingmei whispered.
Su Junning frowned slightly, and immediately said, "Go to the other side of the boat and have a look."
The two servant girls nodded, and quickly walked around the corridor to the other side.
When I came back in a short time, it meant that I vaguely saw such a small boat approaching here on the other side.
Jichun was already a little nervous, and said with a trembling voice.
"There are no fishing boats on this canal. It's strange that these people come here. It can't be that they are water bandits?"
Su Junning's heart sank.
It's really not impossible.
So he asked Yingmei to go down to ask the boatman, after all, the boatman was the most familiar with this waterway.
Unexpectedly, I got a shocking news.
"The boatman said that there are water bandits on this canal, they are from the area of Dongping County, but we are already so far away from Dongping County, it can't be them?" Jichun asked nervously.
Su Junning's eyes were dark, but she whispered, "Not necessarily."
"We have docked in Dongping County, and invited the doctor there. We were targeted at that moment, and they will wait until the night to know what to do. Quickly, go and wake up the people on board. No lights are allowed, and everyone is quiet. Get me something, get on guard, and then ask the boatman to call a few more guys to help and speed up."
For this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than to believe it, so be careful.
Yingmei and Jichun immediately split up.
As soon as Nan Xu cooked a bowl of noodles and served them, she got the news from Su Junning and was so frightened that she almost dropped the bowl of noodles.
Not daring to delay, the two immediately went to wake up Cui Shi.
The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became tense, and the mother and daughter sat together thinking about how to deal with it if it was really a water bandit.
It's just that before they could figure it out, they heard that the first boatman had sent a man to report that they had really encountered a water bandit.
Because as soon as they accelerated, those small boats also accelerated to chase forward, and approached in a half-surrounded state, obviously the comers were not good.
"Ma'am, Miss, our boat is also equipped with an escape boat, which can accommodate six people. Before they catch up, you two should take the boat and escape first. Those water bandits must be after the property on the boat." Come here, you won’t be distracted to chase people for a while, there’s still time to go now!”
The boy who sent the message was yelling anxiously.
