The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times
Chapter 740 Freezing
This time, the ship was hit hard by hail and suffered serious damage in many places.
While the captain was busy leading the boatmen, those families whose relatives had died got off the boat and buried the bodies nearby on the shore.
After their relatives cried for a while, the dead people remained forever in this desolate wilderness in an unknown place.
After more than half an hour, the ship set off again.
The atmosphere on board was gloomy and depressed.
But the ship's speed did not slow down at all.
On the contrary, because of the anxiety of the bowmen and the boatmen, the boat went a little faster than before.
This hailstorm made everyone more eager to settle down.
Over the next few days, the large ship stopped at larger docks twice to replenish supplies.
The rest of the time, we were rushing south at full speed.
At the same time, the temperature is still gradually dropping.
That day, when Lu Qingqing got up in the morning and went out, she breathed out a mouthful of air as soon as she opened her mouth.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked towards the river.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the river was not frozen.
On the deck, the captain adjusted his hat.
Looking ahead, his eyes were filled with worry.
Except for a few hours of sleeping, he spent the rest of the time on deck.
He had noticed the change in temperature a long time ago.
It seems that the next pier is where the boat should stop.
Two days later, at midnight, Lu Qingqing was sleeping when she heard a knock on the door.
She pulled Qin Lang and quickly slipped out of the space.
I heard the old man outside the house knocking on the door and shouting:
"Qing boy, come out quickly, the river is frozen!"
When Lu Qingqing opened the door, a burst of cold air hit her in the face, making her shiver.
At this time, the sounds on the boat could be heard more clearly.
The captain and several boatmen were pulling the boat closer to the shore, shouting loudly:
"The river is frozen. Hurry up and pack up and get ready to get off the boat!"
Lu Qingqing hurried to the railing and heard the big ship hitting the ice, making an unpleasant creaking sound.
She looked at the river in the distance. The moonlight shone on the ice, and the reflected light was particularly bright.
It’s over, it’s really frozen this time!
She forced herself to calm down and turned back to the door.
Let Old Man Zhuang pack up first.
She herself went to the bottom of the cabin and pulled up the two horses and the carriage.
At this time, the entire ship was in chaos.
Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden incident.
Many people ran to the bow and the boatman to inquire about the situation.
The captain asked the other boatmen to continue working.
He held up a lantern, pointed at the ice on the river, and explained to everyone:
"The temperature is dropping rapidly tonight, and the ice is getting thicker!
If we don't dock, the boat will be frozen in the middle of the river!"
Looking at the ice in the river, everyone fell silent.
Soon, most people went back to pack up their things.
When Lu Qingqing pulled the carriage back to the door of the single room, Old Man Zhuang had already packed up all the things in his room.
At this moment, they were carrying large bags and putting them into the carriage.
Lu Qingqing also hurried back to the house to pack her things.
Fortunately, most of the things she uses on a daily basis are in the space.
Those that are not often used are packed into a large bundle and placed in the corner of the house.
At this moment, she carried several large bags from the house directly onto the carriage.
As for the bedding and other items scattered on the bed, just pile them together.
She moved Qin Lang, who was lying down, onto the bed.
Then he took the bedding and stuffed it directly into the corner of the carriage.
As they were packing up, the temperature dropped faster and faster, and the ice on the river grew thicker and thicker.
The big ship was completely immobilized before it even reached the shore.
Fortunately, the ship was only a few steps away from the shore.
The captain directed the boatmen to try again, and only stopped when they saw that they could not move the boat any further.
He jumped out of the boat and went to the ice to chisel.
Seeing that the ice below was so thick, I gave up the idea of moving closer to the shore.
After he climbed onto the boat, he told the people around him about the situation.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, it was the most uncomfortable thing on the whole ship.
It was the bowman, a group of boatmen, and their families.
They poured all their efforts over the years into this boat.
Now, the big ship is frozen in this river where there is no village or shop nearby.
If they don't leave, there will be no place for people to live on this shore.
But if we leave, this ship will be left here and become ownerless.
No matter who came to the ship and caused damage, they didn't know.
The bow thought about it and couldn't help sighing.
At this time, he heard someone calling him.
When I looked up, I saw people queuing up with their carriages and horses at the disembarkation point.
He sighed and went over to open the baffle.
The person in front jumped down to test the thickness of the ice.
After confirming that everything was fine, he drove the carriage off the boat.
The carriage wheels pressed against the ice, making a slight sound.
But the carriage moved forward steadily, and the ice surface did not break as everyone was worried about.
With this carriage leading the way, the carriages behind also got off the boat one after another.
Soon, the people in the queue got off the boat one after another and walked away until they disappeared into the night.
The people at the bow and the crew were all bewildered watching this scene.
These guests are gone, what about them?
The nearest pier is two days away by water.
But they were not sure about the land route.
Just as they were struggling, someone came over from the cabin.
They said the boat fare they paid was for the trip to Jiangdu City.
Now that they have disembarked in this desolate wilderness, they must get some of the fare back.
The boatmen were worried about what to do with their big ship.
When I heard these people say this, I immediately started cursing.
Soon, more and more guests gathered here.
The captain was worried about something happening, so he quickly agreed to return one-third of the money.
After some bargaining, the final agreement was to return half of the price.
But at this time, almost everyone in the private room upstairs had left.
Those who remained on board were all guests from the cabin.
At this time, Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang had already driven their carriage for a short distance.
When she got off the boat just now, she went to the bow and asked.
We learned that they were between Haiyang Wharf and Daxing Wharf.
She put the map into space and began to search for Daxing Wharf on the map with her spiritual sense.
When they found it, they discovered that they had already walked nearly halfway along the road from the capital to King Huai's fiefdom.
In other words, they could only drive the carriage for the rest of the journey.
However, you still have to choose carefully which path to take.
After walking out for a quarter of an hour, there were finally no more carriages around.
Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang found a secluded place and stopped to rest.
After driving the carriage for a while, the two men's hands and feet were already cold.
After getting off the carriage, he stretched his arms and legs for a while before starting to think about resting at night.
At this moment, the cold wind was blowing.
