When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 65: Renting a boat to pick up the children
On the way back early in the morning, Feng Biao, who had just sold the fish and shrimp he had caught yesterday, was resting in the cabin when he heard someone shouting outside. He got out of bed, strode out and saw a handsome pretty boy standing on his fishing boat.

"Who are you and why did you jump on my boat without my permission?"

Gu Hua looked at the burly, dark-skinned man walking out of the cabin, and was also startled. He smiled politely, "Excuse me for disturbing you, but I have something urgent and I want to pay to rent your fishing boat. I wonder if you are willing."

Feng Biao originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Gu Hua take out a fifty-tael silver ingot, he nodded reluctantly and agreed.

Feng Biao glanced at Qi Yan who jumped up and stood behind Gu Hua, and said nothing, then asked, "Where are you going?"

Gu Hua: "Head towards Yuezhou City."

Feng Biao caught the silver ingot that Gu Hua threw over, weighed it in his hand, then put it in his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"

It seemed like this was the slogan they shouted every time the ship set sail.

The people on the fishing boats nearby saw Feng Biao about to sail out of the dock and said, "Brother Biao, didn't you just come back today? Why are you in such a hurry to go fishing again?"

Before Feng Biao could answer.

A familiar person on another fishing boat nearby joked, "Erdan, is there any need to ask this? Brother Biao fishes so hard, he must want to earn enough money to marry a young wife."

"Hahaha……"

Feng Biao saw his familiar companions making fun of him, but he didn't get angry. He drove the boat while laughing and cursing, "Get lost.

I just want to make money to marry a fair and tender young wife, what's the matter, it seems that you guys don't want to do it." As he said this, the fishing boat left the dock.

Gu Hua and Qi Yan stood at the stern, their cloaks fluttering in the cold wind.

Qi Yan knew that she was worried about the children, so he never advised her not to go. Instead, he followed her silently and supported any decision she made.

It takes about two days to travel from Jiangzhou to Yuezhou City by land, but it doesn't take that long by water.

Normally, even if the rivers freeze in winter, they will not be solid. Although the cargo ship cannot travel as fast as in summer, it is impossible that they have been back for six or seven days, and the cargo ship has not yet reached Jiangzhou City.

Gu Hua didn’t know what had happened to Mu Feng and the others, or where the cargo ship was stuck.

You can only drive north to the nearest Zhoucheng Pier. If you don’t see it, you can always find it by driving north again…

There is a main mast across the hull between the bow and stern of a fishing boat, with sails hung on it. Feng Biao grew up on the boat. He uses his sturdy arms to adjust the sails, turning them according to wind direction and navigation requirements to help the boat sail smoothly.

"It's cold outside, you two should go into the cabin and rest." Feng Biao saw that Gu Hua was not strong, and was worried that she would get sick after being exposed to the wind for too long. It would be troublesome to see a doctor and get medicine on the ship, so he kindly reminded them to go into the cabin and rest.

Although Gu Hua was anxious, he knew that it was useless to be anxious.

…Then he turned and walked towards the cabin.

The cabins of ancient fishing boats were usually simple, without luxurious decorations and facilities.

When Gu Hua and his companions entered, they saw that there were only some simple equipment inside the cabin, such as fishing tools, fishing nets and fishing gear. The fishermen worked hard and lived in the cabin, using their wisdom and courage to catch fish resources to support their families.

Gu Hua sat in front of a small window left in the cabin, looking at the thin layer of ice on the water, which could not stop the boat from moving forward against the waves.

Feng Biao spends most of the year living on the boat. The fishing boat is his second home, with all the daily necessities on board.

When it was noon, Feng Biao skillfully lit the stove and started cooking. The dish was a few fish he had caught.

Gu Hua was trained in the apocalypse and she was not picky about anything edible. Qi Yan was a typical northern barbarian. Although there were rivers there, he ate fish very seldom. He just frowned at the fish meat which was simply cooked, not seasoned enough, and had a slightly fishy smell, and ate it.

At first Feng Biao was worried that these people, who looked wealthy by appearance, would not be able to get used to the food he cooked, but he did not expect them to be so easy to serve, so he felt relieved now.

If he meets an employer who is difficult to deal with, he will inevitably suffer some setbacks if he wants to earn this money.

In the afternoon, the sky turned white.

Gu Hua frowned even more. It was almost the end of the year and it was time for it to snow in Jiangzhou.

As the weather got colder, Gu Hua became more and more worried about the children.

She used to think that she was a cold-hearted person, but she didn't know when these little guys who were related to her by blood became her only concerns in this ancient world.

As snowflakes fell from the sky, dusk fell.

Feng Biao lit a ship light that could protect against wind and rain and hung it above the fishing boat. With the light, the two boats would not collide while sailing in the dark.

After lighting the ship's lights, Feng Biao turned around and walked into the cabin, facing Gu Hua and Qi Yan, and said, "The ship moves slowly at night. It seems that we have to rest on the ship tonight. We will be able to reach Yuezhou early tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Gu Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.

A few people were chatting intermittently.

Gu Hua suddenly thought of the Caoqing Gang, so he asked casually, "Brother Feng, do you know the Caoqing Gang?"

Feng Biao paused and looked at her, "Why are you asking about the Caoqing Gang?"

Gu Hua looked calm: "Just curious?"

Feng Biao thought that Gu Hua was asking because he was bored, and he thought there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said, "My family has been fishermen along the Grand Canal that leads to the rivers for generations, so I know a thing or two about the Caoqing Gang."

"The Caoqing Gang was originally a group of sailors and helpers who organized themselves to resist the gangs set up by the ship owners who exploited them. The original leader was named Su.

Because he was also born as a poor sailor's helper, he was always fair and just when dealing with conflicts and disputes over freight and wages between his subordinates, ship owners, and cargo merchants, and would not take sides.

Unfortunately, the eldest son of the head of Su University died early in an accident, leaving only a daughter who fell in love with a boatman when she grew up and insisted on marrying him despite her parents' dissuasion.

More than ten years ago, Mr. Su and his wife passed away one after another, and this woman disappeared with her young son. It was said that she ran away with her lover.

Her son-in-law later took over his father-in-law's position and became the head of the Caoqing Gang. He also sent people everywhere to look for the mother and son."

Gu Hua held his chin up to listen and asked, "Since you are running away with your lover, isn't it a burden to bring along a burden?"

"It seems a little bit." Feng Biao was misled and reacted: "No, maybe the woman couldn't bear to part with the child."

Whether the mother and son disappeared or ran away with someone or were murdered, probably only the son-in-law who took over his father-in-law's position as the head of the family knows best.

"Alas!" Feng Biao sighed, "Since Zhou Quan became the leader of the Caoqing Gang, he not only accepted those sailors and boatmen as his subordinates.

They also recruited some low-class gangsters from the docks, and made the Caoqing Gang a mess."

Gu Hua: “I see.”
