An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 401 The girl is so brave
"How come the boat came so suddenly? No one came to notify us, so we waited in vain." A complaining voice sounded by the river, with a bit of dissatisfaction and impatience.
The person who was speaking seemed to have just arrived, and his tone was not very friendly, perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time.
"I thought there would be no boat today. The time is too tight. Can't we come here an hour earlier?" Then, a man's voice was heard from behind. The voice was very loud and penetrating.
The sudden, crude, and loud noises startled Jing Chunxi, disrupting her enjoyment of the beautiful riverside scenery. She quickly stood up and turned to look.
"Miss, where are the people on the boat?"
Suddenly, a boat arrived on the river early in the morning without anyone notifying them. A young girl crouched beside them, leading a horse. The boatmen all found it odd. They looked at the boat, then at Jing Chunxi, their faces filled with confusion.
Who would be so confident to let such a pretty girl run to the river so early in the morning without worrying about anything happening?
But after all, they were all honest and decent people, and when they saw Jing Chunxi, they only felt confusion and pity.
"They stopped the big boat and rowed two small boats away, with many people on board." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands and told them the direction the boats were going.
Now his lying skills are perfect and he can do it with ease. She even wants to give herself a red flower.
She had clearly looked around and there was no one there. She really didn't know how these boatmen had come so quickly and suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
She roughly counted them and found nine fishermen with reddish-brown complexions. Eight of them were in their thirties or forties, none of them very tall. The most conspicuous among the group was a tall, thin, and sturdy man in his fifties. Jing Chunxi guessed he must be the one at the helm!
She looked at the other boatmen again. They also looked capable and should be good rowers.
"How dare the girl's family be so bold? They dare to come here so early in the morning! Don't they know someone just died here?" A red-faced man put on a serious face and asked in a stern voice. He looked at Jing Chunxi with a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if scolding his own daughter.
Jing Chunxi wasn't afraid of him and didn't want to waste time on them, so he just stated his identity directly: "We hired the boat. We're all up the hillside waiting for you. You should get on board and check it out first, so you can get familiar with it!"
She didn't act like a child when she spoke, her tone was firm and she made the arrangements directly.
After Jing Chunxi said this, the boatmen all understood and turned to look up the hillside. They saw a few vague figures on the hillside and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were relieved that the master had arrived.
The old boatman said, "You are really capable. You actually hired a government boat. This boat is very good. We have rowed it many times. Don't worry! We know how many screws are on the boat." He recognized the boat at a glance. It was the one they had sailed before.
Afraid Jing Chunxi wouldn't believe it, a boatman immediately chimed in: "If it weren't for Mr. Liu's guarantee and the advance payment of silver and food, we wouldn't have dared to agree to this trip. Who knows if the government might be trying to trick us again?"
Immediately another boatman retorted, "Master Liu has said that this boat is no longer owned by the government. What are you afraid of?" He looked at the boatman who had just spoken with a bit of disdain on his face, perhaps thinking that he was too timid.
"Come on, come on, let's get on board and take a look. Since we've received money from this kind man, we have to row this boat properly and check it out thoroughly. The officials might be deliberately doing something bad." The old boatman urged, looking at the other boatmen with a serious look on his face. The boatmen obeyed and immediately rushed up the gangplank and onto the boat.
Jing Chunxi felt that he guessed correctly. It was the old boatman who was speaking. This old boatman was the leader and the helmsman without a doubt.
"Little girl, since everyone is here, let them get off. There is still plenty of time to get on the boat, so don't waste time. Get on the boat early and set off early." The old boatman urged again.
He looked at Jing Chunxi with a look of concern on his face, probably because he regarded her as the daughter or granddaughter of a great philanthropist.
Jing Chunxi smiled sweetly, "I see, sir. They must have seen the boat and came down right away."
Jing Chunxi finally found time to look at the other side of the dock. Sure enough, there were several small fishing boats docked. Could these boatmen have come here on a fishing boat? Fortunately, it was still some distance away, otherwise his secret would have been exposed.
Anyone who sees a huge ship falling from the sky will be scared to death.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, Jing Chunxi patted his chest and whispered to comfort himself.
After seeing that all the boatmen had boarded the boat, Jing Chunxi planned to go back to pick up his own people. However, before he could get on the horse, he saw a horse rushing down from a distance. He could not see the rider clearly, but it was undoubtedly one of their people.
"Miss, Uncle Qi asked if you can come down now?" The voice arrived before the little barbarian arrived. He rode his horse very fast. When the voice came over, the man had also arrived at the warehouse.
Jing Chunxi: Wow! After all, the experienced ones are the wisest. They know the rules now and even know to send someone down to investigate first instead of rushing down with a group of people.
She shouted at Xiaoman, "Come down! The boatmen are all on board, you hurry up and tell them to be careful when going downhill, especially those carriages." She wanted to shout louder so that Xiaoman would turn back immediately, but who knew that he and his horse were faster than Jing Chunxi's voice. As soon as Jing Chunxi finished speaking, he rushed in front of her.
Jing Chunxi could only shake his head helplessly.
"Hey, Uncle Qi has already told me I'll be down for a while. If I don't turn around and go back, they'll understand and get down right away." Xiao Man jumped off the horse, still holding the reins, and handed over the oil-paper bag with a smile on her face. There was even a hint of pride on her face, as if asking for praise.
Xiao Man said with concern: "Miss, please have two more. They are still warm and just right for your mouth."
"You're so smart!" Jing Chunxi snatched the oil-paper package directly, opened it, picked up a radish cake, raised his head and chewed it with relish.
The weather is too cold and he gets hungry too easily, so his small body needs some nourishment.
