At this time, everyone is in wodong, and few people are willing to go into the water to do business. The only one who can hire a boatman is a lot of money.

It's not easy for a big boat to go, and the boat is not reliable. Li Changting chose a medium-sized boat, which has three cabins, two rooms for people, one for storing goods, and two boatmen for living in the bow room on the deck.

Kunzhou and Lanzhou have a long way to go, but the speed of the boat is very fast. We can reach kunzhou in about ten days.

Xu Qing took a big boat for the first time. She lived in the inland in her last life, and she never took a boat. Fortunately, after sitting for a while, she found that she didn't feel dizzy, but Li Changting didn't feel very good.

The cabin is quite closed, only the small window on the door can breathe.

There is a charcoal stove burning inside. The air is thin and makes people feel dizzy.

Xu Qing was holding two old ladies Tang and wrapped in two thick quilts. She looked at Li Changting's face and said, "you go in and change my brother out. He's definitely not seasick."

Li Changting shook his head: "it's OK. It will be OK in a moment."

Xu Qing: "seasickness is not good, obedient, you go in with the children, let my brother out, what's the matter I'll call you."

Li Changting can't beat Xu Qing, so he changes Duanmu ring into space.

Duanmu Xiang, as a child growing up on the sea, has never been seasick, but it's too cold outside. He can only sleep with Mrs. Tang wrapped in a quilt, but he can't sleep too much.

Mrs. Tang was a little cold, so she put it into the space and asked Li Changting to put on boiling water before taking it out.

Xu Qing can't go into space, and he can't use his skills on board. This wood can't touch Mars, so he can only deal with it simply.

Sometimes Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang help to cook in the space, but that skill is not as good as Xu Qingzhu's last pot of noodles.

They can only stew chicken soup or duck soup in a small stove at most.

Only when the boat stops at night can Xu Qing stay in the space for a while, but sometimes she is in urgent need of going to the toilet. Duanmu ring will go up and ask the boatman to pause for ten minutes.

Five days later, when the boat was halfway through, the boatmen said they would stop at a small town here for a day to replenish some supplies.

Although the door of the merchants in the small town is closed, as long as they knock on the door, they will still open the door to let the guests in to buy things.

Xu Qing and Li Changting also got off the boat and stayed in the narrow and airtight cabin all day. She was almost suffocated.

The town is just beside the river. It's only a short walk along the road. Unfortunately, it's cold and there is no one on the street.

Xu Qing just came out to walk around and didn't want to buy anything, but when she came back, she passed a lotus pond and saw many people digging holes in the ice to fish.

After seeing that someone bought fish from these fishermen, Xu Qing tried to ask.

You can sell it, but it's twice as expensive as usual.

Ice digging is a dangerous and laborious job. Fishing requires skills, which ordinary people can't do. So the fishermen here are all old hands. They make some money by pointing to it in winter.

And the number of people who want to eat is not too expensive, such as Xu Qing.

She even picked eight pieces of hairtail in a bucket. They were all big fish of about five Jin, mostly grass carp, crucian carp and catfish.

Back to the shore of the boat, the two went to the boat to take down the big pot and seasoning, set up a fire on the shore, processed three grass carp, sliced into fillets and marinated for a while.

After the water boils, Xu Qing blanches the bean sprouts and cucumber slices, then cooks a pot of spicy soup and fish.

Xu Qing filled two big bowls and asked Li Changting to send them to the two boatmen. The two boatmen had been greedy by the fragrance for a long time. When they took the bowl, they were happy to thank them again and again.

The next morning, the boat continued to move forward and went south along the river. At the end of the river was the sea. Finally, the boat would dock in the middle of kunzhou and Lanzhou, which was their destination.

"Here is the south. It's still snowing heavily outside." Duanmu Xiang came down from the deck and said, "the weather is so abnormal. There has never been such heavy snow here before. Many trees on both sides of the river bank have been broken by the heavy snow."

Xu Qing did not understand: "kunzhou is the south? Where on earth is it? Is it far away from the Fanzhou we have been to before? "

Duanmu ring rubbed his hands, took out a pen and paper and drew a map for Xu Qing. It was DAHAO's territory, and the location of each city was immediately clear.

Xu Qing immediately understood that although Fanzhou was to the south, it was still inland, and kunzhou and Lanzhou were the two coastal cities of DAHAO.

Although the coastal area, but the two cities cover an area too large, kunzhou longitudinal area is very large, Lanzhou transverse area is very large, the two cities together like a vertical and a horizontal.

On the left side of Lanzhou and below Fanzhou, there are two cities, lezhou and Xiangzhou. Xiangzhou is the border.

Further to the left is the northwest, formerly known as southern Xinjiang, and later collectively known as Qianzhou. There are plateaus, basins and deserts all over the place, and the climate is very bad.

Xu Qing asked, "have you ever been to kunzhou and Lanzhou before?"Duanmu ring: "yes, we haven't been to any place."

Xu Qing: "what's special about these two places?"

Duanmu ring: "except for the seafood, there is nothing else. Kunzhou is still good. The seafood of several cities here is from Qingzhou and kunzhou."

"You see, on the left side of kunzhou are Shengzhou and Fanzhou. All the seafood in these two cities are purchased from kunzhou, but only some people in the inland like to eat seafood. With the high freight, there is no market for seafood."

"Besides, Lanzhou is a humid and miasmatic place with dense mountains and forests and various poisons. The living space of the people is very small."

"These two states and cities are very poor. The crops that grow out of them are two years of drought and two years of waterlogging. But they all gather some sects in the rivers and lakes. This kind of place where the imperial court is not easy to manage is most likely to breed such and such small forces, because fighting and killing are not managed, and when people die, they are not managed. It's very chaotic."

Duanmu Xiang shook his head and sighed: "I think there is another reason why Yin Xiang must come here, that is, to curb these forces in the river and lake and ensure that our relief materials can be delivered to ordinary people smoothly."

Xu Qing frowned: "isn't our trip very dangerous?"

Duanmu ring: "it's not dangerous for us to go out any time. Don't worry. Since Changting is here, we won't be unprepared. Besides, as long as you call my name, who dares to move you?"

Xu Qing: "will these sects attack ordinary people?"

Duanmu Xiang: "it's a common thing, so it's not easy for the people living in these two cities. The government can't contain those rivers and lakes sects, but they have to restrict them."
