Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

There are quite a few people living here, and almost all of them grew up by the water. After all, it is the habit of animals to live by the mountains and by the water.

There are still many residents near the inn, but they are relatively quiet. Most of them are women and elderly people with their children. The men probably all go out to work on ships and only come back a few times a year.

"I see there's no wind or rain today, just a little gloomy sky. Should we be able to set off now?" Wang Ruiyan said worriedly on the way back to the inn.

Li Mofu nodded, "I think so too, but we'll know when Mo Yi comes back."

"If...if the boat still doesn't leave tomorrow, what should we do?" Wang Ruiyan asked with a frown. The closer she got to the inn, the more worried she became.

Li Mofu pursed his lips and fell silent. If they hired a carriage, they would definitely be intercepted on the way. If they hired another boat, they were afraid that the boatman on the boat would not be a good person.

"...If the captain can leave, he will definitely leave. Didn't Vice Admiral Meng say that? They are all trustworthy." Li Mofu comforted him. He was obviously panicking himself, and it was unclear whether what he said was to comfort himself or Wang Ruiyan.

"Forget it, there's no point in overthinking," Wang Ruiyan sighed, "Let's just deal with it as it comes."

Li Mofu was about to reply to Wang Ruiyan with a wry smile when a loud and disgusted voice came from the side of the inn, just as they were about to pass by.

"Get out of here! I've told you so many times that begging is not allowed here. Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you're blocking the way here like this, who would dare to stay in our hotel anymore?"

"Get out of here!"

Then there was the sound of splashing water and closing a door. Wang Ruiyan and Li Mofu both stopped and saw a little beggar at the side door who was splashed with water and was shouting something angrily.

"Qiuxiang, give me some change." Wang Ruiyan said with a sigh.

Li Mofu looked at Wang Ruiyan and then at the thin beggar, and finally gave some change to Wang Ruiyan.

"I was just passing by here to rest my feet. Why did you splash water on me? And I just sat down! How could there be any guests in such a remote inn? You just look down on me! Be careful or you will lose money! Lose money!!" The little beggar raised his dirty face and shouted at the door.

Wang Ruiyan walked over with a smile, "Okay, kid."

The little beggar was startled when he saw someone coming behind him.

"Here," Wang Ruiyan handed him four or five pieces of silver, "Let's go quickly, or we'll be splashed with water again."

The little beggar looked at the silver, then at Wang Ruiyan, then looked at the silver again in disbelief and whispered, "Give it all to me?"

"Well, I'll give it all to you." Wang Ruiyan said lightly.

The little beggar looked up at Wang Ruiyan again, then kowtowed to her and ran away quickly.

"Eh, just like that..." Qiuxiang frowned in displeasure.

Wang Ruiyan shook her head and said indifferently, "It's okay, go back."

After returning to the inn, Wang Ruiyan was tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest, but Li Mofu didn't want to go back and just wandered around the inn. The mountain behind the inn was very high and deep. The inn seemed to have no outer wall behind it, but in fact it was surrounded by a bamboo forest, so this bamboo forest was actually part of the inn.

After strolling for a while, Li Mofu returned to his room. Not long after he came back, Nanny Liang came up with a lotus leaf chicken and told him that Mo Yi was back and was now in Wang Ruiyan's room.

When Li Mofu heard this, he asked Nanny Liang to put the chicken on the table and ran to Wang Ruiyan's room with the fruit. It was Qiuxiang who opened the door for him. When he entered, Mo Yi was there, but both Mo Yi and Wang Ruiyan had very bad expressions.

"What's wrong? Can't we leave yet?" Li Mofu asked curiously.

Wang Ruiyan tightened her lips, closed her eyes, and shook her head, "They're gone, they're all gone."

"What?" Li Mofu was surprised.

Mo Yi explained, "I went to the river this morning. Although the river was still high, it wasn't as rough as yesterday, so I wanted to check out the boats docked at the harbor and find out where the boatmen lived."
