In the other cabin, Xiao Chengjun closed his eyes and lay on the mat, and began to dream again.

Just like the previous two times, the dream was full of strange things, and many scenes were intertwined, making his mind in a mess.

However, there is one person that he remembers deeply, and that is Chen Tiantian, who is now a maid in the East Palace.

Because his dreams were all about her, and he was obsessed with her and slammed into the wall for her, even if his heart was smashed and his hands were stained with blood, he would have no regrets.

But how is it possible?How could I do this for a woman?Unless crazy.

Xiao Chengjun resisted in his heart and tried his best to get rid of this strange dream, but he just couldn't get rid of it.

Click!
A thunderclap sounded.

Xiao Chengjun sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

It's okay, it's just a dream.

Calm down and look out through the small window.

From time to time, one or two flashes of lightning flashed in the dark sky, accompanied by dull thunder.

The gust of wind blew through the cabin and made a whining sound, and the hull began to shake.

Xiao Chengjun stood up, put on his coat and boots, and opened the hatch.

A gust of wind blew him around.

The little servant Nanzhu hurriedly pulled him back: "My lord, the wind is too strong, and the deck is dangerous."

Xiao Chengjun had no choice but to retreat into the cabin, watching Nanzhu close the cabin door.

Soon it started raining outside.

Nanzhu looked out the window worriedly, and muttered, "Why is it raining? Fortunately, we didn't take a boat."

Xiao Chengjun lay back on the floor again, closed his eyes and fell asleep, thinking about that dream all the time.

It's really strange, in the dream, his wife's name is also called Jiang Yingbao.

Every time he tried to see what she looked like, he failed.

The wind and rain outside are getting heavier, and the swing of the ship's hull is getting bigger and bigger.

The little servant Nanzhu was too frightened to close his eyes, knelt on the floor with his palms folded, and kept chanting the blessings of the Bodhisattva and the Taoist Sanqing.

It was hard to get through until the sky was bright, and the storm became stronger, and the entire hull was swayed from side to side by the water waves.

"It's not good! A boat has capsized!"

Someone was shouting outside.

The boss of the boat and several boatmen hugged the pillars of the boat and looked over the river.

Not far away, a ship turned over and was slowly sinking.

"Hey! That's a merchant ship!" A boatman shouted, "A lot of people fell into the water!"

The boat boss's eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and save people, let's throw the float down, and save one by one!"

"Okay!" The two boatmen ran to the stern against the wind, untied a string of floats from the side, ran to the bow, and threw them out forcefully.

After that, the two climbed down along the side of the boat, grabbed the float and climbed on top, and swam vigorously towards the person who fell into the water.

The two boats were not far apart, and among the few people flopping in the water, some of them knew how to swim, so they all grabbed the floats.

On this side of the boat, the guards also rushed to rescue people, grabbing the rope tied to the float and pulling back.

After a while, even people dragged the float back to the side of the boat.

When these people were dragged onto the boat one by one, everyone could see clearly, and a total of four men, four women and eight people were rescued.

Among these eight people, three are young girls, one middle-aged woman, and the other four are young and strong men.

The few women did not sink into the river, thanks to the protection of these men who know how to swim.

Now several people are all soaked, squeezed into a cabin, shivering with cold.

Especially a few women are even more disheveled.

However, the people on board had no extra clothes for them.

The guards couldn't bear it, so one of them came forward and knocked on Yingbao's cabin door.

Chunniang opened the cabin door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lady, there is a boat capsized next to us. We rescued some girls. They have no clothes. I would like to ask you to lend them some clothes to cover their bodies."

Chun Niang nodded quickly: "I'll go look for it."

She turned around and rummaged through her luggage, took out her two coats and handed them over: "There are only two, you can take them."

The guard took the coat and frowned: "My lady, they have four women."

Chun Niang apologized: "I'm really sorry, I only have these two sets of clothes, my daughter's clothes are too small, I guess they won't be able to wear them."

The guard had no choice but to go back with two clothes and hand them to several women.

The strong wind outside gradually subsided, and the rain gradually weakened.

The overturned boat on the river has an upturned bottom and scattered items floating around.

Several ships came forward to salvage, some returned the salvaged items to the survivors, and some ships directly drove away after picking up the item cages.

The rescued survivors squatted on the shore and wailed, but there was nothing they could do.

At this time, the rain is over and the sky is clear, and the sun is shining on the earth.

Several women who had been staying in the cabin came to the deck.

When he saw the small part of the overturned boat exposed on the river, he couldn't help crying.

Their clothes, jewelry and money are all gone.

The boat lady asked, "Where are you going? If you go along the way, go with our boat."

"We are going to the capital, where is your ship going?" the middle-aged woman asked.

The boat lady clapped her hands: "Oh, what a coincidence, we just left the capital and are heading towards Luzhou."

"It's really a coincidence." The middle-aged woman showed disappointment and asked cautiously: "Can you send us back to Beijing first? Don't worry, we will definitely reward you with a lot of money when we get to the capital."

The boat lady shook her head regretfully: "We have no control over this. Although this boat belongs to our family, but the owner is going to Luzhou, we will definitely not be able to return."

The two were talking, when the middle-aged woman saw the two coming out of another cabin, her eyes lit up.

"Are you Xu Chunniang?" The middle-aged woman hurried over to say hello.

Chunniang was also surprised when she saw the middle-aged woman: "Mrs. Wen? Why are you here?"

Mrs. Wen San: "I took my daughter back to the capital to visit relatives. Last night, a heavy rain capsized the boat. Alas, why did you come to the capital?"

"My daughter went to Beijing to see a nobleman, and she is going back to her hometown now." Chunniang said.

"Your daughter is here too?" Madam Wen San couldn't help but cast a glance beside her.

Chen Zhao knew Mrs. Wen San, so he quickly bowed to her.

Third Mrs. Wen glanced at her without saying a word, and looked around.

Chunniang: "My daughter is still asleep."

My daughter pinched her hands for half the night last night, so she couldn't get up in the morning, she was sleeping soundly wrapped in a quilt, so I didn't call her.

"Oh." Mrs. Wen suddenly changed her mind and decided not to return to Beijing.

Her brother messed up his errand last time and put his uncle in jail.

When I came to Beijing this time, I also wanted to intercede with my father-in-law, asking him to help clear up the relationship and get my natal uncle out of prison.

As a result, in the stormy weather, the boat he was on turned over.

Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted person who rescued her mother and daughter, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that Mrs. Wen San was silent for a long time, Chunniang said in a low voice, "I'm going to wash up, excuse me."

With that said, he went straight to the bathroom.

Chen Zhao followed closely behind, walked in and closed the door.

The washroom on the ship is also the room of the female relatives, and the smell is a bit unpleasant.

Chun Niang cleaned up in a hurry, took a bucket of water to flush the urinal, and took Chen Zhao back to the cabin.

Seeing that my daughter was already awake, I whispered, "I'll tell you something strange."

"What's the matter!" Yingbao asked curiously.

Chun Niang: "Mrs. Wen San brought her two daughters to Beijing, but the boat capsized last night, and she was rescued by the crew of our ship. Her three mothers are all fine, do you think it's surprising?"
