The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 18

When the sky was full of sunset, the water boat docked at the wharf of Yangguai Village, Lingzhu Town, and the six civilian ships following the water boat also pulled over.As soon as the ship stopped, the passengers couldn't wait to step on the board and go ashore, or go to restaurants to eat, or hang out in front of the stalls along the coast.The smoke from cooking restaurants, the shouts of street vendors working hard, together with the setting sun, outline the full atmosphere of human fireworks.

Lin Ruyu, a little mute with a birthmark on her face and afraid of seeing strangers, naturally would not go ashore.She stood by the open window and looked out.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water.There are quite a few stalls selling fish, pearls and other parallel imports. There are also smart vendors who display pearl mussels and collect pearls on the spot when buying mussels. The business is very good.Lin Dafu was also dragged to the stall by his son who had never been out of Wusha Town to join in the fun.

Until the sky was dim, and An Ziyuan was still not seen abandoning the boat to land, Lin Ruyu frowned, raised her hand and knocked rhythmically on the wooden board of the compartment a few times, Shen Ge from the next room came soon.

Lin Ruyu said in a low voice, "An Ziyuan doesn't like to take a boat, but he hasn't landed yet."

An Ziyuan doesn't like to take a boat, is it also her dream?How long is her dream, how can she even know such a thing?Shen Ge's mind turned back and forth, "He is either avoiding people's eyes and ears and going ashore after dark, or it is inconvenient for some reason to go ashore, so I will go into the water and stare at him."

Seeing that he was wearing dark blue clothes, Lin Ruyu knew that he was planning to go into the water and hide among the reeds, so she warned, "The four people around him are not weak in martial arts, so don't get too close."

Shen Ge, who has fought with others since he was a child and has practiced martial arts with Uncle Ma for many years, is very confident in himself, "I should be defeated by the four of them together; but if I come out alone, I will definitely not be able to defeat me. Don't go out and have a child He and Third Uncle will bring you food."

After the western sky darkened, lanterns were lit up one after another, and the roadside restaurants were full of people, and the smell of food wafted to the boat. When Lin Ruyu's stomach growled, Uncle Ma came to deliver her food.

Xu Shi was still being stared at, but Uncle Ma told her a few words in a dignified manner, then turned and left.As the head of the bodyguard, he has to lead people to guard the goods on the ship to prevent water bandits from boarding the ship to sneak or digging through the bottom of the ship to steal the goods.

Looking at the steaming white flour steamed buns and the savory pork slices, Lin Ruyu showed her white teeth.Soup is the most likely to be poisoned. Only steamed buns and sauced meat can be eaten with confidence. The third uncle is very considerate.But just in case, Lin Ruyu took out the prepared silver needles and tried them one by one before starting to eat.

As soon as she was full, she saw Shengzi dragging Dafu back to the boat with unsatisfied enthusiasm.Shengzi carried food with him, and Dafu held three pearl oysters in his arms that were bigger than a palm.Lin Ruyu closed the window and lit the half candle fixed on the candlestick.

Knowing that Lin Ruyu had finished her meal, the son still gave her a coarse-grain pancake with fried small fish in it. Lin Dafu took out the wooden basin under the bed to fetch water, and prepared to open the mussels.

The son complained to Lin Ruyu, "I told Brother Dafu that this was all a lie, but he didn't believe it."

Dafu admits death, he is not familiar with the birth son, of course he will not listen to him.But when he was in Wusha Town, the little beggar didn't talk much when he gave birth, but after he came out, he looked lively and active like an 11-year-old child should have.Lin Ruyu, who was eating pancakes, pointed to the clam and gestured.

"It didn't cost any money. Dafu rolled the dice and won the leopard with three sixes. He is really unlucky!" Seeing Dafu walking in with water, Shengzi urged, "Brother Dafu, open it and have a look. After that, let's take the meat back to the shore and roast it, it's delicious. I said it's on the shore, but you have to come on the boat, what should I do if the smell is so strong that my second sister is smoked?"

Dafu, who was competing with the pearl oyster, didn't even raise his head, "Prescribe pearls, crush them, and put powder on his face to cure the disease."

Brother Dafu saw the birthmark on her face, and he wanted to treat her with the method he knew.Lin Ruyu's heart was warm. In the last life, Dafu died to save her. In this life, she will do her best to make him live a more stable life.

Daifuku struggled to open the first clam shell, and there was only meat.

Open the second clam shell, it is still clean and only the meat.

"Look, pearls are not so easy to open. If it were so easy, the oyster seller would have made a fortune long ago." Shengzi stood up, giving up hope.

Lin Ruyu, who was standing behind, patted Dafu's shoulder to comfort him.

Under Lin Ruyu's disappointed and hopeful eyes, Lin Dafu opened the last pearl oyster.

"The bead has come out!" Shengzi's eyes widened, "It's still a big bead, Brother Dafu, quickly take it out and have a look!"

Lin Dafu took out the pearl and washed it in the water, then handed it to Lin Ruyu with a grin.The son's eyes followed the pearls, and he kept sighing, "My God, my God..."

Lin Ruyu may not have the skills to value other things, but the little girl who grew up in the pile of jewelry and cloth has the price of such pearls in her memory.Such a big round and glowing pink pearl costs at least 50 taels of silver!
Lin Ruyu patted Dafu on the shoulder excitedly, Dafu made a fortune this time!Blind box opening is so much fun!

"Smash it, grind it into powder, and cure it." Dafu said naively.

"Brother, I'm a dear brother! How can such a big bead be ground into powder!" Shengzi couldn't wait to pull up Dafu, "Let's go, let's go! Let's continue to roll the dice to open clams!"

Lin Ruyu grabbed Shengzi, raised her finger to her lips, and motioned him to keep quiet.

"Second sister, don't worry, I'm not stupid." Shengzi hurriedly hugged the clam with one hand, and dragged Lin Dafu out of the cabin with the other.

Lin Ruyu closed the door and blew out the candles, holding a round pink pearl in her hand and smiling, to live again, Dafu's luck is really good.

When Shengzi and Dafu jumped up and down to attract the attention of Fan Genyuan and An Ziyuan, Shen Ge took advantage of the night to dive into the water, dived into the reeds and cattail grass, and stared at the boat not far away through the gaps between the grass blades.

After the rain in July, the weather was still sweltering, but the windows on An Ziyuan's boat were always closed, and the candlelight was reflected on the windows, and there was no one moving for a long time.Even if there were frogs singing by his side, Shen Ge would still lurk motionless. What he lacked most was patience.

An hour later, everyone returned to the boat or went to the inn to rest, and when the bustle died down and only the singing of frogs and insects remained, there was finally movement on An Ziyuan's boat.

A servant came out of the cabin and sprinkled water on the river not far from Shen Ge. Shen Ge, who was downwind, keenly caught the smell of blood.

An Ziyuan was injured?He hid on the boat and didn't show his face. Was it because he was seriously injured?This is great news!Shen Ge grinned silently.

Another hour passed, and it was midnight.The lights on An Ziyuan's boat had already been extinguished, Shen Ge secretly yawned, and when he was about to return to the boat to sleep, he suddenly saw an arm protruding out of the water without a sound, grabbing An Ziyuan's side of the boat!
