Chapter 22 The boatman is sinister
After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Qinghan just got into the carriage. With a white veil on his face and a graceful figure, everyone couldn't take their eyes away.
Hua Jian and Hua Rongjiang said goodbye. Just as they were about to mount their horses, a white horse came towards them, kicking up a layer of dust on the ground. The person on the horse was Liang Youzhao, wasn't it?
Liang Youzhao suddenly reined in the reins and began to say goodbye to Hua Jian as soon as he got off the horse. It can be said that the brotherhood between the two has been established since childhood. Now that Hua Jian is about to leave, of course brothers have to see each other off.
But in Liang Youzhao's eyes, besides Hua Jian, there was also the beauty Li Qinghan in the car. In fact, after he knew that Hua Jian and Li Qinghan were leaving on the same day, the first person he thought of was not Hua Jian.
But Li Qinghan.
He was very angry. Why did Li Qinghan leave without even saying a word to him? This feeling of being ignored made him very unhappy.
Mrs. Huang watched from the side, feeling even more convinced that Liang Youzhao liked Li Qinghan, while Hua Rou dismissed it.
"Miss Li is also going back to Beijing today?" Liang Youzhao asked knowingly. He also wanted to ask something else, but there were too many people here, so it was difficult to say.
Li Qinghan, who was sitting in the carriage, did not speak, but Fei Xu spoke up, "Master, don't be surprised, my young lady is weak. She caught a cold yesterday and her throat collapsed. She happened to have some small red rashes on her face. I'm afraid."
I scared the young master."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang, who was lying in bed, sneered and secretly cursed in his heart, it would be best to die of illness!
Liang Youzhao frowned slightly, looking at Li Qinghan's melancholy expression, he finally said nothing and swallowed all the questions in his stomach.
Li Qinghan always had his eyelids drooped and his face was expressionless, while Feixu beside him didn't speak much, just looked at Liang Youzhao with a smile.
The few of them talked for a few more words, until Feixu got a little annoyed and urged him to leave. Hua Jian reluctantly said his last goodbyes to Liang Youzhao, got on his horse and left.
It was very quiet along the way, without any problems, which made Feixu a little nervous. The peace before the tragedy was just an illusion.
Li Qinghan in the car was very honest and had never had much interaction with Hua Jian, which made Hua Jian very confused.
Jinzhou is in the southwest of the country, while the capital is north of the Yangtze River and in the northeast of the country. The journey takes about several months. In addition, Feixu said that Li Qinghan was not feeling well and stopped frequently to rest.
It's been lengthened quite a bit.
The sky was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain again soon.
They just felt hot, stuffy, and unspeakably uncomfortable. Some of them couldn't bear it and even exposed their breasts. Several maids blushed and took a few steps forward, approaching some of Li Qinghan's carriages.
Fortunately, due to Li Qinghan's relationship, the guards around her did not dare to take off their clothes at will.
It was already summer, and the rain came and went quickly. The group of them bumped forward along the way, and a wide river appeared in front of them.
The water was flowing very fast and quickly flowed to the east.
The carriage stopped, Hua Jian frowned, looked at the turbulent water, and said a few words to Cong Xuan on the side. Cong Xuan nodded, drove the horse away, and walked east along the river. There was another guard on the west.
Leave quickly.
Hua Jian rode back a few steps, came to the front of Li Qinghan's carriage, and whispered: "Qinghan, there is a big river ahead. I have sent people to see if there is land or bridges. You can rest here for a while."
Feixu in the carriage opened the curtain, and Li Qinghan still covered her face with a veil, but she could faintly see those strange red things in the corners of her eyes, even mixed with white pus, which made people feel scalp numb just looking at it, Hua Jian
I couldn't bear to look directly at her, so I focused my gaze on her head. Looking at that bright hair was much easier than looking at that face.
Coughing softly, Li Qinghan said in a hoarse voice: "I will follow my cousin's arrangements in everything."
This voice is even worse than Duckling.
Hua Jian said "hmm", obviously perfunctory, turned around and left.
It didn't take long before Cong Xuan and the guards came back on horseback. Both of them were gasping for air. Cong Xuan said: "Master, I didn't see the land, but there is a boat over there that can take us across the river."
Hua Jian thought for a moment, then looked back at Li Qinghan in the carriage, wondering if she could take the boat!
So he nodded again and ran to Li Qinghan's carriage. Li Qinghan was drinking water. She had taken off her veil, but her back was facing him. He could faintly smell the strong smell of powder on her body. Hua Jian knew that Li Qinghan must be here for
She applied too much powder to cover her face, and said nothing. She just repeated to Li Qinghan what Cong Xuan had just said to him.
Li Qinghan nodded towards Feixu, and Feixu said: "Miss said, listen to the young master's arrangements."
That means we can take a boat. Hua Jian waved his hand and everyone walked towards the east.
At this time, large swaths of dark clouds came in, looking like a storm was about to come. The car curtains were swaying violently in the strong wind. Feixu quickly lowered the curtains and pressed them down before taking a look at the man sitting in the car.
The speechless Li Qinghan.
"It looks like it's going to rain. Will the boatman be willing to cross the river at this time?" Li Qinghan asked.
Feixu said nothing, and the car fell into silence again.
I saw a ship in the distance. It was quite big. Although there were not too many people on it, there were about thirty people. With a few boxes of things, it seemed a bit crowded.
Hua Jian was feeling a little worried when he heard the boatman, who was about forty years old, say: "Don't worry, there are sheepskin rafts on the shore. A small one can carry three or four people!"
Then they need about five or so. This is a river, and it is estimated that they will not encounter any bandits. Those boxes need to be watched by people, so just put the boxes on the sheepskin raft and send people to watch.
After calculating clearly, it was finally time to get on the boat. Li Qinghan, who was light and moved slowly, got on the boat with the help of Fei Xu and Hua Jian, and found a good place to sit down.
There was also a man and a woman on the boat, sons and daughters of the boatman. The two handed them tea and snacks and asked Li Qinghan to drink them.
Hua Jian looked outside and said to Li Qinghan: "It will rain soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar of thunder came from the sky, deafening people's ears.
Li Qinghan remained silent and did not eat anything on the table. Hua Jian picked up a glass of wine and drank it heartily.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Hua Jian asked.
Li Qinghan shook his head, looked at the tea on the table, picked it up, turned around, lifted the veil, and drank it gracefully.
