On the other side of the ship, there stood a grandfather and his grandson. The grandfather's hair had turned gray, and he had two large patches on his shoulders and a long goatee. When he spoke, his beard would wiggle, which looked very interesting. In sharp contrast to the grandfather was the chubby little grandson next to him. The little guy had a round head with thick black hair, and a pair of bright big eyes that sparkled like two black gems. At this moment, he was shyly hiding behind his grandfather, quietly looking at Lin Yan with his big round eyes, curiously and timidly.

From their conversation, Lin Yan quickly learned the names of the grandfather and grandson: the grandfather's name was Wang Changshou and the grandson's name was Wang Fugui.

After a conversation, Lin Yan learned that the grandfather was taking his grandson to Weijiazhuang, Jinling City to look for his son. She couldn't help but sigh that she didn't expect that there were still left-behind children in this era. Lin Yan suddenly felt pity and thought that this child was really pitiful. He had to follow his grandfather around at such a young age. So she decided to do her best to help the grandfather and grandson.

She signaled Green Tea to give the grandfather and grandson a piece of the candy. At first, the little boy seemed a little shy. He lowered his head and held his grandfather's clothes tightly with his little hands. He was not very willing to accept this kindness. However, when he heard Lin Yan gently say, "This osmanthus candy tastes good. You can try it!"

Little Fugui slowly raised his head, his clear and bright eyes showing a hint of desire and curiosity, but he did not reach out to take it. He stared at his grandfather hesitantly, as if waiting for some instructions or confirmation.

After seeing Xiao Fugui's grandfather nod slightly, Xiao Fugui carefully and timidly reached out his hand and gently took the candy from Lin Yan.

However, he did not put the candy into his mouth as impatiently as ordinary people would, but first broke off a small piece and then slowly put it to his grandfather's lips. Grandpa smiled with satisfaction, shook his head gently, and then stroked Xiao Fugui's head with his hand, expressing his praise and encouragement to him.

Witnessing this heartwarming scene, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel touched and emotional. Such a filial, sensible and polite child is really lovable.

At this moment, a sudden emotion surged in her heart - how much she wished she could have such a cute and adorable child!

Thinking back to Zhao Yuan's appearance, he was indeed quite outstanding. It was a pity that if she could have chosen to "get rid of the father and keep the son" at the beginning, it would have been much better... Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The days on the boat were boring and boring, but after that pleasant and warm encounter, Xiao Fugui would go to play with Lin Yan whenever he had time. They soon became good friends, talking about everything and being close friends regardless of age.

Lin Yan found out that Xiao Fugui had never been to school, so she started teaching him to read and recite poems. Xiao Fugui also taught Lin Yan his skills of fishing and grilling fish on a boat.

During this period of time, Lin Yan felt such a leisurely, comfortable and peaceful time for the first time since her rebirth.

However, as if God was jealous of her happiness and trying to test her, just as Lin Yan was immersed in a sweet dream during her lunch break, an extremely terrifying nightmare suddenly struck her and woke her up from her tranquility.

In the dream, she was alone facing a ferocious wolf with sharp fangs, which kept chasing and biting her, making her fall into endless fear.

At this moment, Lin Yan was unarmed and had no friends to rely on. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the pursuit of the evil wolf.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Green Tea on the side keenly noticed the abnormality, carefully pushed Lin Yan who was in the nightmare, and asked anxiously and concernedly.

The shaking of green tea finally helped Lin Yan break free from the terrible nightmare, but she was already sweating profusely and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare?" Green Tea asked softly.

"Well... that's about it. I'm very thirsty. Please pour me a glass of water." Lin Yan responded weakly.

"Okay!" Green Tea quickly got up to pour water.

The journey was smooth and nothing unusual happened, but why did she suddenly have that horrible nightmare that still scares her to this day?

After drinking the water, Lin Yan finally got rid of the nightmare and her mind gradually became clear. At this time, the boatman shouted loudly: "We are almost at Wu County! Passengers who want to get off the boat to buy something can return before noon! Everyone, get ready to get off the boat!"

Hearing that Wu County was quite close to Jinling where Xiao Fugui was going, Lin Yan felt more melancholy and depressed when she thought of this.

However, Lin Yan didn't know that she had become the target of several groups of people since she boarded the ship. However, these people were severely warned by the captain not to cause trouble on his ship.

The captain actually had no intention of protecting the two of them. After all, if he could sell these two beautiful women halfway through the journey, he would definitely make a fortune! Unfortunately, the royal emblem on the ring that Lin Yan showed when she paid made the captain greedy but he didn't have the courage. Not only that, in order to save his own life, he couldn't let Lin Yan get into trouble on his ship, so Lin Yan and the others could stay safe on the ship.

However, if Lin Yan got off the boat and was kidnapped by someone, it would have nothing to do with him! After all, he was just an ordinary person and didn't have the ability to protect everyone.

Lin Yan had been frightened on the mountain road before, so she didn't dare to get off the boat easily, so those people with bad intentions didn't find a chance to attack her. She sat in the cabin, looking out from time to time, her heart full of anxiety and fear.

It is said that Wuxian is a well-known commercial town in the south. From a distance, the shore is crowded with people, so lively! However, Lin Yan, who had just had a nightmare, was a little uneasy at the moment. In the end, she decided to get off the boat and take a walk to relieve her nervousness.

As soon as they reached the edge of the boat, Xiao Fugui hurried over and grabbed Lin Yan's hand. "Sister, can you stay on the boat and play with me?" Xiao Fugui looked up, with a pleading look in his eyes.

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Fugui, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that Xiao Fugui was worried about her safety, but she really needed to go out for some fresh air. So, she gently touched Xiao Fugui's head and said softly, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to get off the boat for a walk."

Xiao Fugui showed a hint of disappointment when he heard this, but he still held Lin Yan's hand tightly, as if he didn't want her to leave. Lin Yan felt a little strange, so she squatted down and asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you let your sister go down?"

Xiao Fugui lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid my sister will be in danger... There are a lot of bad people outside..." His voice trembled slightly, as if he had foreseen something bad.

Lin Yan's heart tightened. She didn't expect that Xiao Fugui was so sensible and caring. She hugged Xiao Fugui and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will be careful. Besides, there are so many people here, so there won't be any danger."
