Chapter 54 The process is slow
"It is said that the gate can only be opened after all the noble ships have passed the Yuanjiang River."

On the Chen family's large ship, Chen Cuihe also received news from the people below.

"Noble?"

Chen Cuihe couldn't help but sneered after hearing this.

He took a deep breath and stood up, walking up to the deck and looking at the dark ships of various sizes in front of him, with suppressed anger in his eyes.

"Do the other families know this news?"

"I think we all know the information that our people inquired about at the same time."

···
"What the hell? Say it again?!"

I heard from Mei Erhu that the canal and the Yuanjiang River were closed because some noble people had to be given priority to cross south.

"We all know that there are many ships on this side of the canal. It would be bad if we let go rashly and collided with the nobles who were crossing south..."

Mei Erhu said in a low voice, and everyone frowned, not knowing how to evaluate this matter.

However, Mrs. Mei stood up immediately after hearing this.

She almost stopped standing when Mei Qian quickly stepped forward to support her.

"these people!"

Mrs. Mei's face turned red with anger, and when she spoke, her saliva sprayed all over Mei Erhu's head. The whole family was so excited that they didn't dare to say a word.

"What kind of big business can make the imperial court close down... It's clear, it's clear that those, those officials ran away!"

Mrs. Mei's lips were trembling. She had heard about similar things in her memory of fleeing south when she was young, but she had not experienced it personally at that time. Now that she is old, she can encounter such a thing. It really opened her eyes.

This time it seems that things have changed faster than when she fled south.

Because there were too many boats on the river, Mrs. Mei suppressed her last words when she said this.

Mei Qian understood immediately upon hearing this, looked at her breasts in disbelief, and asked: "Yes, the imperial court cannot defend the capital, so it wants to go south, right?"

When Mei Qian finally said this, she felt as if her throat had been strangled, and her voice was gone at the end.

Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Qian quietly and said nothing, but she seemed to have made it clear.

There was a deathly silence on the ship for a while.

If all of them really move south, there will still be chaos in the future!

It's just that none of them have time to study the future in detail at the moment. Just driving less than ten miles all day long is enough to make people upset.

"It is said that it is not completely blocked, but the opening is too small, and it is very slow for a ship to pass."

In the evening, Mei Qian cooked wild vegetable soup for her family and listened to her father tell her family in the cabin about the news about her and other people on the fishing boat.

Speaking of which, the wild vegetables from the orc plane do taste good.

Mei Qian lowered her eyes and looked at the unnamed wild vegetables in the pot, feeling a little better.

Although these wild vegetables are large in size, they are all fresh and tender, and they do not have the bitter taste in the mouth here. Even the wild vegetables from the orc plane were cooked by Mei Qian, and she also exchanged a few packs of compressed biscuit powder from the apocalyptic plane.

In addition, it is indeed very filling after eating, and it has another advantage - quenching thirst.

Even if it is cooked, it still has such a function. What Xiaomei means is that after eating the wild vegetables from the orc plane, except that its nutritional content is slightly inferior to that of nutrient solution and compressed biscuits, its taste, texture, and ability to satisfy and quench thirst are far superior to other planes. Unable to catch up.

Thinking about this, Mei Qian became even more grateful for the food Li Baizhou cooked before leaving, allowing her to exchange for delicacies from many planes.

Nowadays, there is really not much water on their boat. Mei Qian looks at the crowded boats on the river. She has no desire to drink water "from local sources".

This was even scarier than the previous water where the corpse was soaked.

Mei Qian took advantage of finishing dinner to reveal the matter.

When Lao Mei's family members heard this, their expressions changed again and again. It didn't matter if they didn't think about it, but when they thought about it, the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely ugly. "I can't get through this. I don't know how many days it will be delayed!"

Mrs. Han was distressed, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but touch her belly.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the baby in her belly was due to be born in the next few days.

Originally, according to Mrs. Mei's plan, after their family crossed the river, they would find a place where Jiang could give birth safely.

But according to the current progress, no one dares to say this.

"We are blocked here, maybe there is a blockage on the Yuanjiang River, and they are all crossing the south of the Yangtze River..."

Mrs. Mei frowned when she heard Mei Erhu's words. Just next to his boat, an unhappy curse came from a boat slightly larger than the fishing boat:
"They are all the people of Anguo. Why should we let them go first? Why did we go there earlier? We have gone through many difficulties and dangers. If Xirong catches up..."

Xirong comes from the grassland and is the best at riding and shooting. Although everyone thinks that the natural dangers of the Yuanjiang River can block it, they are not completely unable to deal with it.

Especially now, they have not yet crossed the river, and they are densely blocked on the canal. If the Xirong soldiers catch up, they will shoot arrows from the shore into the canal, and some people in the small boats will almost lose their lives.

If you are more aggressive and apply some fire oil, the surface of the river will be burned to eighty or ninety percent.

You can think of future generations like Mei Qian just by watching some TV series, and there are many smart people in these ships now.

Otherwise, why would everyone's emotions be so low when the temperature cools down at night and I can't suppress my emotions.

Time is of the essence!
Those who ran away from the capital and its surroundings either stayed close to the Yuanjiang River and went straight to the south of the Yuanjiang River;
Either they were close to the canal, and they wanted to avoid the Western soldiers around the capital, so they specially took the canal to enter the Yuanjiang River.

As a result, it is now blocked on the canal to facilitate people who cross the river directly. Who can accept this?
"That's right! The lives of those who directly cross south are our lives, right?"

If the boats are close together, the louder one can be heard next door.

At this time, one boat was dissatisfied, and other boats also started to quarrel.

Lao Mei's family was full of dissatisfaction and abuse, which made Lao Mei's family suddenly stop talking and become extremely quiet.

In the end, Mrs. Mei was really dissatisfied when she heard these people's complaints and curses, and said: "Everyone has a loud voice. Do you have the ability to rush through the gate?"

Her voice was not loud enough, but it was just loud enough for Mei Qian next to her to hear. Mei Qian couldn't help but look at her breasts and asked in a low voice: "Wouldn't rushing through the gate be against the court? Isn't this rebellion?"

"That's right." Mrs. Mei squinted at Mei Qian, "That's why I said these people are just yelling nonsense because they have no ability."

Mei Qian: "..."

Has her talent been linked to the rebellion?

The sky is completely dark. Tonight is Mei Shitou and Cui's vigil.

Mei Qian finally fell asleep listening to all the complaints, curses and curses around her in the middle of the night. Not long after she closed her eyes, the sound of collisions around the ship woke Mei Qian up again.

The moment she opened her eyes, Mei Qian worried about others sleeping. She was so angry when she got up that she straightened her clothes and went straight out of the cabin. She suppressed her temper and was about to ask Mei Shitou and Cui'er how they were keeping watch at night. The ship suddenly shook. It shakes every now and then.

As a result, she watched Cui'er and Mei Shitou lying on the bow of the boat without rowing.

"What are you doing?"

When Mei Qian saw this, luckily she didn't shout directly. Cui'er turned her head and quickly made a silencing gesture, asking Mei Qian to squat down as well.

As soon as Mei Qian squatted down, she heard Cui'er say: "Behind, there are many small boats pushing forward."

When Mei Qian heard Cui'er's words, she understood why her boat was constantly being collided and moved. It was probably because the boats were bumping into each other when they passed by, or they were hit by the hull, oars or the like.

"Where did it come from?" Mei Qian asked with great vigilance, "Can't it be some water bandit?"

"It's not like that. I didn't know what was going on and just pushed forward. I don't know if those people were tired of cursing during the day. They didn't say a word when they encountered this, so they just gave in."

Listening to Mei Shitou's words, Mei Qian also looked at the river. The boats, which looked like big black fish under the reflection of the fishing fire, were continuously sailing towards the front...
