Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 441 The Restless Night
When Mr. Xue took the test to teach Huzi's knowledge, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.What Huzi lacked was knowledge of current affairs and political literature.However, knowledge in this area needs to be accumulated through experience, and Huzi is too young now to have enough experience.Hence the lack of knowledge in this area.

So Mr. Xue often came over to play chess with Huzi, and told him stories by the way, some current events in the dynasty.

Mr. Xue told the story with a purpose, but Huzi didn't think about that at all, he just listened to the story, and occasionally commented on some wonderful places, and he didn't follow Mr. Xue's mind at all.

Huzi felt that Mr. Xue told stories well, and the two of them were somewhat friendly, so he should say goodbye to him when he was about to leave.

So he told Mr. Xue that he was about to leave.Unexpectedly, Mr. Xue was a little excited when he heard this, "Why are you leaving? Where are you planning to go this time?"

Huzi was a little puzzled by the old man's excitement, but he still answered honestly, "I'm not going anywhere this time. I want to go home to celebrate the New Year. My eldest brother sent a letter, telling us all to go home for the New Year."

Mr. Xue had already learned about Qiu Laifu's identity from Xue Zhipeng. When he heard that Hu Zi was going home, and his eldest brother was going home, then this time he would be able to meet his granddaughter if he followed him.

"Is that so? My old man has lived in this Kun Mansion for several years, and he is tired of living there. How about I go with you to your hometown for a walk. I heard that your place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is very beautiful. I will While this old bone is still moving, go and have a look and play with it. Would you like to let me go with you?"

Huzi always knew in his heart that the Xue family had some connection with his eldest brother, and he immediately thought that Mr. Xue was probably a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.But in this case, he definitely can't object, an old man can go with him, anyway, the people on their way are not vegetarians.It won't have much impact if one more old man travels with us.

As soon as the news that Huzi was going to leave came out, Yuan Xiaoqing also came to the door.He looked at Hu Zi with very resentful eyes.Seeing her appearance, Huzi somewhat understood what she was complaining about. "Hero Yuan will wait until the baby is born. Let's take the baby to Zhangjia Village to play." Yuan Xiaoqing readily agreed.I secretly thought in my heart that I will definitely go to Zhangjia Village to play in the future.In fact, she wanted to play with Qiu Laifu more.

Yuan Xiaoqing was sent away, and the practice banquet hosted by Xue Zhipeng was ushered in.Although Xue Guangling did not participate, he sent two people to protect them all the way.

Huzi wants to refuse on the grounds that the boat is small.

But Xue Zhipeng told him that they would rent a big boat for them.

On the sixth day of the winter month, Huzi and his party finally boarded a boat and set off for their hometown.

The entourage was far more numerous than Huzi expected.Needless to say, there are quite a few of Huzi's original crew.Mr. Xue brought two guards with him when he went out.A cook.Fan Wenming also insisted on following.And with large and small boxes and cabinets.Huzi once asked him what are these boxes and cabinets filled with?Fan Wenming mysteriously said it was a dowry.

Huzi said he didn't understand.

There is another person who is Xiaohong's trophy—the eavesdropping person Xiaohong caught that day.This person was originally controlled by poison, but after Huzi detoxified him, he followed Xiaohong.

There are also some boatmen traveling with the boat.These boatmen are responsible for rowing and sailing.The small wooden boat that Huzi used when traveling was also left far behind. In order for the small boat to follow the big boat smoothly, a boatman was assigned to steer the boat.

The big ship was moving fast.According to experienced boatmen, it is estimated that it only takes three days to reach Sancha County.Huzi thought it was normal, so he said flatly, "So the speed of coming and going is the same. I thought your big boat could go faster?"

The old boatman, surnamed Zhao, is a stubborn person, I heard Huzi say so.I feel like I look down on these boatmen.So he corrected seriously. "Young master's words are different. The waterway from Sancha County to Kun Mansion belongs to sailing with the water and the wind. So the speed of the boat is much faster than against the wind and the water. However, even if the speed of the boat is fast, it usually takes four days."

After hearing this, Huzi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, how long did it take them to arrive at the Kun Mansion?His mental calculation should be more than three days, but the old boatman said that it would take four days to go fast.And they are traveling in small boats, the speed of small boats is definitely not as fast as that of big boats, and their boats don't have sails, so the speed is even more wrong.

Huzi didn't know that during the days when they left, Li Xianran's hidden guards were all masters of martial arts. Although they rowed the boat with oars, their kung fu was there. Far.So even if it takes four days for a normal boat trip, they can reach it in three days.

"Then how do you say you can get there in three days?" Huzi was very puzzled.

The old boatman straightened out his thick chest, then raised his chin slightly, as if he was very special, "Because our boatman this time is very special."

The old boatman left the deck as soon as he finished speaking, unwilling to talk with Huzi any further.

Huzi shook his head, looking at the old boatman's self-righteous back.

In fact, he also noticed that the boatmen on this boat were a bit unusual. If he guessed correctly, these boatmen had probably been replaced, and they should all be Mr. Xue's guards.I couldn't help worrying in my heart, and I didn't know if it was right to agree to Mr. Xue's decision to go with me.

However, he also knew in his heart that no matter whether he agreed or not, Mr. Xue's trip would definitely not change.

Huzi's worry was not wrong, and what he was worried about happened ahead of time. Their boat had just sailed for a day.

At night, a dark moon hangs high in the night sky, and many stars compete to emit soft starlight.All kinds of insects and frogs sang on both sides of the river.It seems to sing a lullaby for this peaceful river.

In this peaceful and quiet night, although the boat continued to move forward, it had already slowed down.

However, two boats suddenly drilled out of some small bay, blocking Huzi's boat one after the other.

At this time, Mr. Xue was playing chess with Huzi.Both Xiaohong and Wen Xiu'e were watching the battle.In fact, Xiaohong didn't quite understand.Dozing off at this time.He is a child, and a child already has a lot of feelings.Everyone is used to it.

Xiao Hong suddenly jumped up and said, "We have a stranger on board."

Wen Xiu'e also sensed the enemy attack at the same time.A knife suddenly appeared in his hand. "You stay here first, I'll go out and have a look."

Huzi looked at the steady Mr. Xue in front of him.Putting down a chess piece, he said, "It seems that our game will not go on smoothly."
