Chapter 168: There are a lot of trivial things in the river(1/2)

On the second day of October, the team who sent off the bride arrived at Jinchuan on the banks of the Dadu River. They will board the boat here tomorrow. They will sail for seven days and six nights. They will get ashore in Quwo, cross Zijin Mountain, and then arrive at Lizhou under Dengying City, Wenzhou, Changzhou, and Dengying City.

Staying overnight in Jinchuan, early this morning, the group went to the dock to board the boat. Shangguan Moxun, Tuo Yan and Song Ruoxi sat on the first boat, and Mr. Xie and Zhang Shaoqing took the carriage Song Ruoxi and her dowry on the second boat.

Both ships are five-story boats, and the large and small halls on the top floor are for drinking and enjoying the scenery. Shangguan Moxun and Tuo Yan live on the second floor. The front cabin on the third floor is a very spacious front cabin. Bypassing the carved screen, there is an inner room. There is a Arhat bed, a round table and four rose chairs in the inner room. There is a slender passage through the inner room. There are five rooms on both sides of the passage. The second room on the left is Song Ruoxi. The guards live in the back cabin on the second and third floors, and the boatmen live on the fourth floor, and the bottom floor is the earth and stone pressing warehouse.

Mr. Xie and Zhang Shaoqing live on the second floor of the second boat. The third floor folded the partitions of the cabin, put the carriage, luggage and dowry that Song Ruoxi was riding. The boatmen and women live on the fourth floor, and the bottom floor was filled with earth and stone.

The room is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The two rooms inside and outside are separated by bead curtains. There are small dressing tables, small square tables, two round tiles and soft couches, and beds and square cabinets are placed in the inner room.

The two ships slowly left the shore. Because the hull was too large, even if it was smooth sailing, it was not fast, and it was far from the level of a light boat that had crossed thousands of mountains. Song Ruoxi sat in the front hall through the gauze curtain, looking at the scenery outside. He did not want to disturb the people, so he did not send anyone to clean the river. The fishing boats and merchant ships on the river came and went, which was very lively and busy.

In the afternoon, a strong wind blew, and the river surface was hit by waves, and the shaking boat was shaking. Song Ruoxi's feet were floating, he was unsteady, and he was dizzy. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, but he was still feeling very uncomfortable, his chest was stuffy, and his face was pale.

The silkworm girl was anxious and went to Shangguan Moxun, "Young Master Shangguan, the girl is very seasick, but what medicine can stop her from being fainting?"

"You can help her press the Dovetail acupoint to stop dizziness." Shangguan Moxun frowned slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "If it doesn't work, take the medicine again."

Silkworm acts according to words and actions.

After trying it, Song Ruoxi felt that it was good and was not so dizzy, and everyone was relieved.

It rained heavily again in Shenshi, and it stopped until dusk. The boat stopped at the dock of Tongchuan. The wind was calm and the waves improved. Song Ruoxi walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The afterglow of the sunset was imprinted on the river surface, forming a flash of golden spots.

Several fishermen were sitting in small fishing boats, catching fish with cormorants. When the cormorants pierced into the water, they held the fish in their mouths. On the other side of the dock, there was a boatman carrying goods off the boat. The horns shouting in their mouths rose and fell, full of energy. Song Ruoxi heard it interestingly and walked closer to the other side.

"Girl, be careful, don't fall down." Qinghe grabbed her sleeve and said with a blushing face.

Song Ruoxi asked with a smile: "What's wrong with your face? It's like a red cloth." The same is true for Xiangxiu when looking at Xiangxiu.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qinghe lowered her head, even her ears turned red.

"Girl, go in!" Xiangxiu said shyly.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned and saw the shirtless boatmen. He knew that they were embarrassed and smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Turning around, Song Ruoxi saw a purple figure flashing across it, the smile on his face slightly and his eyes were dim.

The evening breeze at night was filled with water, which was very cold. The silkworm girl was afraid that Song Ruoxi would get cold, so she turned out the stove and put it on for her to hold it.

"My Cangma, this is too exaggerated!" Song Ruoxi refused to ask.

"Miss's little life is coming soon, so be careful." The silkworm insisted on his own opinion.

Song Ruoxi couldn't go against her kindness, so she had to put on the hand stove in early October.

The next morning, the boat sailed again. Shangguan Moxun and Song Ruoxi were separated by a layer of boat boards, which was close at hand, but seemed to be far away from the world.

The boat sailed in the river for another day. At dusk, it arrived at the plains and sails and anchors on the shore. After dinner, Song Ruoxi took a bath and changed clothes, leaned on the couch with his hair loose, held a miscellaneous note in his hand, and looked around casually. Suddenly, he heard someone outside the boat playing the piano and sing, "Life is like a dream, and it is a pity to drink alone. The common rules are like barriers, and how much foolish are imprisoned in the world? The song ends with people dispersed in the sky and the dusk, and the prosperity falls all over the misty smoke. A sad love and a dream are all the mirror flowers and water moons, and it is vain!"

Hearing that the common rules are like barriers, how stupid is to imprison the world? Song Ruoxi felt a little frightened. He put down the book, listened with his ears, and said, "Xiangxiu goes and ask who is singing the song."

"But you're clamoring for the girl to read a book?" Xiang Xiu asked.

"No, she sang very well, I want to invite her to come and sing it to me." Song Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go now." Xiang Xiu put down the embroidery shed in her hand and walked out.

After a while, Xiangxiu came back and reported: "Miss, a singer is singing a song on the boat next to her. Mr. Luo Qi said, "What kind of song should the girl listen to? Just pass the message and let her sing, and you can't let her get on the boat."

Song Ruoxi knew that Shangguan Moxun was for her safety, so he thought for a while and said, "Let her sing her best song."

Xiang Xiu went out to tell Shangguan Moxun.

Shangguan Moxun ordered the singer to sing.

"I was originally a pearl holding my palm, how could I live in peace? I was pretending to be Qiao in front of me, and tears flowed thousands of times behind my back. The three springs of the south are merciless, and there is no claim to the east wind, which adds sadness. There are ten hu of pearls there to redeem Yun Niang."

The singer's voice is gentle, the pronunciation is clear, the lyrics are graceful, the melodious and sad, and she burst into tears, like crying and complaining, and she pours out the suffering and sorrow of being a singer, hoping that someone can help her redeem her and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. However, her singing this song at this time will make people feel deliberate.

Even Song Ruoxi felt this way, and Shangguan Moxun and Tuo Yan would not fall into the trap. They rewarded the singer with more than ten taels of silver and sent her away. In the darkness, no one noticed the unwillingness flashing in the singer's lower eyes.

A good night's sleep, and the boat left the shore in the early morning.

After traveling for two more days, the boat stopped at Shunchuan's pier one hour in advance. It was still early, so Qiaotao urged Song Ruoxi to get off the boat. Song Ruoxi had been on the boat for the past few days and wanted to walk around, stretch his muscles and bones, and smiled and said, "Mother Cannabi, go and ask Mr. Luo Qi, please allow me to get off the boat."

The silkworm girl left in response.

Shangguan Moxun came down with Cannibal, "Do you want to go ashore?"

"I'm just walking around, can I?" Song Ruoxi looked at him, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Shangguan Moxun looked at her for a moment, but couldn't bear to refuse, and said, "I'll accompany you."

Song Ruoxi smiled gently, waited for Qinghe to bring the hat, and took the four of them and the silkworm nun Xiangxiu Qiaotao Qiaoer, and followed Shangguan Moxun off the boat.

If they didn't plan to enter the city, they would not hire sedan chairs or carriages. The group walked slowly along the river, and smoke rose from the fishing boats on the banks of the river.

A few scholars were enjoying the scenery by the river. One scholar shook his head and chanted: "The smoke from the fishing house ferry is rising, and the sunset is low, and the fishing boat is lit up."

I just chanted a few sentences and got stuck.

Song Ruoxi chuckled and shook his head, without any talent in his belly, and even pretended to behave.

"The old man who has been waiting for the white and white is by the road, and a song is clear and quiet in the river." Shangguan Moxun was very interested in helping him complete the poem.

Song Ruoxi glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you are not good at poetry?"

"It's all right and wrong, and it doesn't fit the rhyme." Shangguan Mo asked.

"Since you know, you don't follow me randomly, do you understand?" Song Ruoxi said.

Shangguan Moxun smiled.

Zi Shi smiled and said, "We don't understand whether the rhyme is in harmony or not. It's good to listen to these two sentences of the young master who is quite smooth."

Song Ruoxi was about to speak, Qiaoer said excitedly: "Girl, look, there are people making dough guys there."

Song Ruoxi followed her guidance and saw an old man with white hair and beards pinched the dough. There were a bunch of children around the stall. Seeing Qiaoer's face full of desire, she said, "Let's ask you Sister Xiangxiu to give you a few cents, go buy one to play!"

"Thank you, girl." Qiao'er smiled.

Xiang Xiu took out a few cents from her purse and gave it to Qiao'er, "Go and go back quickly."

After a while, Qiaoer came back with a face, "Girl, look."

Song Ruoxi smiled, "I've pinched a small one, it's quite like a slight look."

"Girl, go and pick one." The silkworm thought she liked it, so she suggested.

"No need." Song Ruoxi didn't have this interest.

The group of people walked around the ferry and found a group of people gathered together, talking.

"What should I do? I seem to be out of breath, I'm afraid I can't save it."

"I will definitely not be able to save you in this way."

"The face is swollen, and only the god Daluo can revive it."

"It took a long time to get a dead person. It's bad luck."

"It's better to throw it back into the river than to save trouble when you're dead."

"You are so unscrupulous. You can say this. Since you have been harvested, you can find a place to bury her, which is also a merit."

"To put it nicely, you need money to bury people, will you pay?"

Speaking of silver, everyone shirked each other. Most of them were fishermen and boatmen. They used the hard-earned money they earned and buried a stranger with the money. They really had the will but lacked strength.

"Can you let me see it? Maybe this person is still saved?" Song Ruoxi said loudly.

The onlookers turned around and saw that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her maids and guards beside her, and she made way. Only then did Song Ruoxi see clearly a woman lying on the ground, a soaked, purple face and unconscious.

Song Ruoxi walked over and reached out to put his hand in front of the drowning woman's nose. There seemed to be a faint breath. He pressed her pulse again, intermittently, and said happily: "She is not dead, she is still alive."

"Look, the person is not dead yet. You said you threw the person into the river and almost killed him." Someone murmured in a low voice.

"She is half dead now, and she will die in a while." The man said unconvincedly.

"Canniang, squeeze her abdomen with your hands and squeeze out the water." Song Ruoxi.

The silkworm held the woman's abdomen, but it was impossible.

"Let me do it." Song Ruoxi pulled her away, pressed her hand on the woman's abdomen, slowly squeezed it, loosening and relaxing.

The woman spitted a lot of water out of her mouth, but Song Ruoxi was so tired that the woman's belly was still bulging and bloated, and her eyes turned, "Ziwen, Ziwu, you two lift her up."

"Pick her upside down?" The two of them were slightly stunned. Is there such a way to save people?

"Save people is like putting out a fire, you can move quickly." Song Ruoxi urged.

"Girl, can you really save her?" someone asked questioningly.

Shangguan Moxun looked over coldly, and scared the man to shrink into the crowd.

"A dead horse is treated as a living horse." Song Ruoxi was not sure. She was not a doctor. She had watched these drowning first aid methods on TV several times, and it was the first time she used them.

Ziwen and Ziwu lifted one of the woman's legs and lifted her upside down. A lot of water flowed out of the woman's mouth and nose, and her belly slowly leveled down.

Seeing that the woman could no longer spit out the water, Song Ruoxi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let her down."

Ziwen and Ziwu were not sympathetic at all, so he threw the woman back to the ground.

"Oh." The woman moaned.
