The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 18
Wen Fei didn’t pay much attention to escorting Chu Xi. In her opinion, it was just a way. Besides, she had asked the boat boss Jiangzhou that it was indeed not far away, and it would take only three to five days to arrive.
The journey after that was also smooth, except that Tiangong was still not beautiful, the speed of the boat seemed to have picked up.
Of course, the rain alone is enough to make people irritable. Not to mention that Wen Fei Chengli was bored in the cabin, and everyone on the ship would complain. Especially those guards brought by Wen Fei, who were used to the battlefield, are now trapped on this small passenger ship, but they are really frustrated, not to mention that it is even more uncomfortable that they can’t even go to the deck when it rains. Up.
Finally, some of the guards couldn’t take it anymore and went to find the boss of the ship and asked, “Is there so much rain in the south of the Yangtze River? How many days have passed since this, and when can I stop it?”
After being rescued by water bandits last time, the boss of the ship did not know their identity, but his attitude towards this group of people was much better. Ordinary guards are looking for him if they have something to do. He will help if he doesn’t say a word, including Wen Fei’s temporary watermelon prepared for Chu Xi, which was also found for her by the ship boss after landing.
However, when the guards questioned this time, the boss of the ship had a bitter face, and then he looked out of the ship and replied anxiously: “No, although it was rainy in the summer in previous years, there are rarely such days of heavy rain.” After sighing, he pointed to the river outside and said to the guard: “Brother, don’t you see it? The water level on this river has risen a lot.”
The guard heard the words and glanced at what the boss of the boat said, but he, a land duck from the north, can tell whether the water level on the river has risen or not? He seemed to be able to see at most that the river water was a bit more turbulent than the previous days, and it was estimated that it was also affected by the torrential rain.
Thinking of this, the guard held his finger in his heart and decided, and found that the rain had already been raining for six or seven days without knowing it!
The guard here was smacking in his heart, and he heard the boss sigh again and said, “Brother, you can tell your companions if you go back. If the rain keeps going down like this, our boat will not be able to go.” It’s far away. Your chief is going to Jiangzhou. Maybe our passenger ship won’t leave when it arrives in Jiangzhou.”
The guard was a little surprised when he heard the words, then turned to look at the rain curtain outside the porthole, nodded and agreed. After returning home, he really went to find Wen Fei and told her what the boss of the ship had said.
Wen Fei is different from her guards. After all, she came from the era of information explosion. When the ship boss said that the river water level had risen due to the torrential rains, her first thought came to the flood. Later, she also looked at the river outside the window, and felt that it was too early to say that the flooding occurred as soon as the water level rose a little, but her heart sank.
************************************************** *******************
When the entire ship was anxious due to heavy rain, Chu Xi and Yu Dong were probably the only two exceptions.
Chu Xi is not a restless person, as long as there is something to pass the time, she can stay in a small cabin for many days without feeling bored. Although the Chu family suffered heavy losses in the previous encounter with the water bandit, the irony was that they were almost dead. The luggage and belongings they carried did not have much loss, including the box of books that Chu Xi took to pass the time on the road, and more. Is intact.
So after meeting Wen Fei and receiving her request, Chu Xi stayed in her room to read a book and pass the time comfortably. Although she had not been doing very well these days, she was often disturbed by nightmares, but reading Buddhist scriptures was also a book. no?
Yudong didn’t go out because she was timid. In the past, she was always with Chu Xi and there was no shortage of guards and protection, so she had the confidence to do everything, but now she and Chu Xi are two weak women in the mighty group of people. She sees that no one thinks that they are good people. Beware of three points for everyone. Going out is like taking a risk, so naturally I choose not to go out.
The master and servant stayed in the cabin almost isolated from the world, so when Wen Fei knocked on their cabin door, they both looked at a loss. Then Yu Dong thought of something, and first showed a surprised expression: “General Wen, but Jiangzhou is coming?”
Yudong’s life was confused, and he didn’t pay much attention to the itinerary, but Chu Xi always looked out the window these days when he was uneasy while reading. Although it was rainy and misty outside the window, she vaguely remembered that the passenger ship had only passed Yanchi Mountain yesterday, and it was still a day or two away from Jiangzhou. .
Sure enough, Wen Fei said in the next moment: “No, Jiangzhou hasn’t arrived yet.” She paused, then said again: “But Miss Chu, this boat can’t reach Jiangzhou, so you should pack up and get ready to disembark. .”
Chu Xi was only half right, and was startled when she heard the words: “What’s the matter, what happened?”
Wen Fei’s brows frowned slightly, no longer the lightness and clarity of the previous: “This rain is too much, the boat boss said that the water level of the river has risen so sharply, the water flow is too fast, it is easy to produce vortexes, and the boat will be dangerous. He originally wanted to send us off. He arrived in Jiangzhou, but the rain made him feel unsure, so he decided to dock as soon as possible. When the ship docked, we might have to change to land.”
In fact, in this situation, the ship is not unable to go, but the boss of the ship has just experienced water bandits before, and this is the time to cherish his life. He didn’t want to take any risks, even if the ship fare was refunded.
Wen Fei naturally can’t force it. Chu Xi now doesn’t talk about sending someone under the fence, but she also relies on Wen Fei for shelter, let alone say anything. The matter was finalized, Wen Fei left soon after the notice.
As soon as the cabin door was closed, Yudong complained: “I blame this god, what the **** weather? If it hadn’t been raining all the time, our boat would not delay the trip and meet the water bandits. It’s better now, and you can’t even get on the boat. Now, where can I go by land in this rainy day? Seeing that Jiangzhou is about to arrive, I have to be delayed on the road for a long time…”
She chattered and complained, until a flash of lightning suddenly struck down outside the window. It just so happened that Yudong was still cursing the thief God, and was immediately startled by the thunder, his arrogant arrogance also withered instantly, his hands folded and he began to apologize to God.
In the usual times like this, Chu Xi always smiled when Yudong played treasures, but today she kept her eyes down and said nothing.
Yu Dong was aware of the difference in the atmosphere, and after putting away his actions, he cautiously asked: “Miss, why are you not talking? Are you upset? Or are you worried about the way forward? It’s okay. Don’t listen to me. I hear that General Wen is a good person. Since he has promised to send us to Jiangzhou, he will definitely deliver it, even if it is a few days later, it doesn’t matter.”
Chu Xi only shook her head when she heard it, and didn’t say anything. But when Yu Dong mentioned Wen Fei, she also inevitably thought of the other person—she didn’t get out of the cabin these days, but she actually meant to avoid Wen Fei. The two of them are not suitable, and they have a tacit understanding. They can’t change their original intentions because of an accident. Furthermore, rather than regretting the ending in the future, it is better not to start from the beginning.
But it’s easy to hide on the boat. When it’s time to get off the boat and change to land, how can she hide from her?
