Chapter 1168 Ferry

Li Fu was stunned, and couldn't help slowing down, nervously said: "Is it uncomfortable? I walk slowly, bear with it! When did you get pregnant? Why didn't you tell me? What if there is an accident! "

Lian Fangzhou smiled wryly, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm not pregnant, I just said it casually! Put me down quickly."

Li Fu was stunned.

Lian Fangzhou laughed when he saw this, struggled and got off the ground, pulled Li Fu into a dark alleyway, and said with a smile: "If you don't say that, how can we get out? How can we save people in that situation? I don't know Promise to let you take risks!"

Only then did Li Fu heave a sigh of relief, hold her hand and said with a smile: "You almost scared me! I'm not stupid, the fire is so big, even if the woman's child is really inside, it would have been hopeless. will go."

Lian Fangzhou shook his head and said, "It's always not good not to go in that situation."

Li Fu said: "That's true! But we can't go back now, just rest here and leave the city at dawn! Don't look for the driver!"

I don't know if I can still find someone! No one else cared, but the coachman came here because he was employed by them. Li Fu would feel really uncomfortable if he was implicated innocently. But who would have predicted natural and man-made disasters? Just remember, wait until you take office before sending someone to visit and take care of it.

Anyway, it's not cold in Nanhai County at this time of year, and it's okay to spend the night outside. Lian Fangzhou smiled and said hello.

Li Fu smiled, dragged her to find a more secret place, hugged her in his arms, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

It was already midnight when the fire broke out, and after so much trouble, it is expected that it will only be more than an hour before dawn, and since such a fire has just been experienced, how can one fall asleep? Even Fangzhou just leaned on Li Fu's arms and waited for dawn.

Just after dawn, the two of them went to the street, went to the open breakfast shop to buy something casually, and then went to the car dealer to hire a car.

This is a small town. Last night, a fire burned down the only small inn in the town. By this morning, almost everyone in the town knew about it.

When Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu were having breakfast, almost everyone, regardless of the boss or the staff, was discussing the matter of sighing. Of course, Li Fu and his wife rushed out of the roof, jumped off the ground, and escaped from the flames. Tell people to talk a lot.

Lian Fangzhou was amused when he heard it, but the two of them looked forward to leaving this place early, so as not to be recognized by others and cause trouble.

In the territory of Nanhai County, when their identities have not been disclosed, the less they have a sense of existence, the easier it is to act.

Going out of the city to the southeast, after half a day's journey, there is a river called Xiaolang River running through it. The river is wide and has no bridges. There are only large wooden boats ferrying guests back and forth.

This kind of crude ferry boat can't carry a carriage.

At this point, the driver who was driving the car collected the hire money and turned back to the town. He kindly told them that there was a densely populated village within three or five miles of crossing the river. For business, I can stay there temporarily for one night. There may be no carriages, but donkey carts should be available, but I will change the carriages when I get to the town.

Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu thanked the coachman and waited for the opposite boat at the ferry.

It can be seen from a distance that the ferry is still loading on the opposite side, and three or four workers in short brown are very busy carrying sacks of goods on and off the ship.

Li Fu looked up at the sun in the sky, pulled Lian Fangzhou to sit down on a wooden bench under the shade of a tree, and said with a smile, "It's still early, let's just wait."

Not far away, there was an old man guarding a simple bamboo shed, selling some tea, snacks and melons and fruits. Perhaps there were not many customers, those melons and fruits looked dull and not fresh, shriveled, even Fangzhou was not interested in just looking at them.

And the old man didn't come forward to greet them, he was lying on the bamboo recliner, snoring evenly with his mouth slightly open, sleeping soundly.

After about half an hour, the goods on the opposite side were finally loaded. Seeing those people jumping into the boat one after another, the boatman tapped the penny, and the boat swayed slowly, heading towards the shore here.

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help tugging at Li Fu's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Look, the boat is coming! The boat is coming!"

Li Fu glanced over there, smiled at her and said, "Are you impatient to wait? See how excited you are!"

Lian Fangzhou curled his lips and said: "The sky in the mountains is getting dark quickly, just look at it, how much time has passed, the shadows on the ground have become thicker and longer, and the river water has also become deeper, it looks scary, you should cross the river early Good!"

Li Fu smiled, and couldn't help but glanced at the Xiaolang River. The color of the river was indeed much darker and dark, like a wide open mouth that could swallow everything silently.

The sunlight also faded a lot, shining brightly and darkly on the river surface, making the river water even more deep.

After more than two quarters of an hour, with the sound of rushing water and the noise of human voices, the boat finally approached the river bank here.

The old man who was soundly asleep also opened his eyes, looked over with a smile, and hoped to do some business, but four or five peasants who worked part-time came out of nowhere and surrounded him and asked if he could help. ?

Perhaps the owner of the cargo also wanted to finish the cargo early so that he could find a place to stay. The two sides negotiated the price and quickly finalized it. , neatly yarded under the big tree on the bank.

Li Fu took Lian Fangzhou on board.

The boatman accepted the money with a smile, told them to sit down, and started the boat.

At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and under the cover of the tall mountains on both banks, the river surface was dark and gloomy. Penny poles were paddling the water surface, making a clear and monotonous rushing sound, and the cool air came engulfed by water mist. I couldn't help but feel cold all over my body.

Lian Fangzhou subconsciously folded her hands on her chest, shivering slightly.

Seeing this, Li Fu stretched out his arms to take her into his arms, and asked softly, "Is it cold? Just bear with it, and it will be fine when you cross the river and find a place to live."

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "I'm not so delicate, but I just can't stand it and feel a little cold."

Seeing this, the boatman laughed and said, "This master and his wife are really loving, my wife is so lucky!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled, and glanced at Li Fu tenderly. Others praised her husband, but she never pretended to be modest and said that he was not good.

Li Fu took a look at the boatman and replied with a smile: "The lady who is finally married back, naturally should be cherished!"

"This man is right! You are so right!" The boatman laughed and praised: "I admire the most affectionate men like Ke Guanye. Those who beat their wives are simply justified." No!"

It made Li Fu and Lian Fangzhou laugh.
