Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 618 This is an emergency

As Old Master Yi, it was no problem to leave for a while. He left with two servants who came over and Wu Ziqun who looked helpless. Behind him, Wu Ziqun's classmates and friends were all gloating about his misfortune.

Yi Abao didn't care about Wu Ziqun's feelings at this moment. If he had asked these young people for their opinions, Ziqun would probably not want to go because of his temper.

However, Abao couldn't leave Yuanjiang County immediately. After leaving Yuezhou Academy, he took his servants and Wu Ziqun and went straight to his home in Yuezhou.

Yes, Yi Abao taught at Yuezhou Academy all year round. In order to take care of him conveniently, his wife Lu also lived in Yuezhou, so they bought a house near Yuezhou Academy.

The eldest son Yi Han is an official abroad, and usually his wife and children have followed him after being transferred to another party. At the Yi family's old house, only the Yixuan family is there all year round, taking care of the family's fields and the county workshop.

At this moment, Yi Abao hurriedly took someone home. Lu Junling, who was working as a female celebrity at home, heard the commotion, put down her things and walked out of the house, only to see Yi Abao coming back with someone.

"My father-in-law? Amin Ayou? And Ziqun? Could it be that something happened to my father-in-law?"

Lu Junling was also a thoughtful girl. When she saw this battle, she immediately felt something was wrong, but Abao immediately dispelled her doubts.

"It's not that something happened to dad. I can't tell right now. Anyway, please clean up quickly and come back to Yuanjiang County with me immediately!"

"good!"

The gray-haired Lu Junling didn't talk nonsense. When her husband poured water to quench his thirst, he immediately packed up the things he wanted to take away.

Yi Abao also poured water for the two servants and Wu Ziqun. The latter just picked it up and took a polite sip, while the two servants drank it all and poured it themselves.

Lu Junling saw the two of them like this on the side, and then looked at them in a dusty state. It was obvious that they came in a hurry, and she felt a little sad for a while.

As if Yi Abao knew what his wife was thinking, he turned to look at her and smiled.

"It's a good thing, don't worry about it, my wife!"

This joke was said in front of outsiders, which made the young Lu Junling's face feel slightly hot. She spat out "I'm not serious" and hurriedly went to the back room to collect it.

From the time when the servants went to Yuezhou Academy to deliver the news, to when Yi Abao and his wife simply packed up their things and left home, got on the carriage, and arrived at Yuezhou Port Pier to board the ship, less than two quarters of an hour had passed.

Just as A Bao helped his wife out of the carriage and another servant paid the fare to the coachman, the servant who got off first had already found the boatman and hurried over.

Not long after, a group of five people arrived on the boat with a cabin. The boat owners were two father and son. When they heard that it was Old Master Yi from Yuezhou Academy and his family on the boat, they were very polite and greeted them with courtesy.

However, the boatman still explained to A Bao that the boat could not be sailed too fast. After all, this season was not smooth sailing. It was faster to go to Yuezhou from Yuanjiang County, but slower to go back. Many times, one had to rely on manpower to continuously row the oar.

Of course A Bao and his wife, who have been traveling between Yuanjiang County and Yuezhou City for many years, know about these things, so they don't have any objections. They are just afraid that the uncle will leave before he can return.

——

At the front of the boat, the servants of the Yi family kept telling the Yi family what had happened.

"Yesterday morning, Ade accompanied the old man for a walk around the town. When he crossed the bridge at Hehe River, he saw a Confucian scholar fishing there. He also brought extra fishing gear. The old man was so anxious that he went fishing with him."

Yi Abao listened attentively. When he heard the servant said that the other party looked like a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a graceful appearance, and had a head of gray hair and a mink, Abao couldn't help but hold on to his clothes. Get excited.

"It's really uncle. It must be uncle."

The two servants looked at each other, why did the master look like this too.

"Master, I haven't seen anyone here yet."

Yi Abao smiled and shook his head. The two servants would not understand this feeling.

Wu Ziqun on the other side frowned, feeling somewhat ridiculous, but he didn't dare to show anything.

At the rear of the ship, the old boatman kept rowing forward, which had been going on for half an hour. The son had enough rest aside and wanted to take over from his father.

"Dad, you are tired, let me shake it!"

The old boatman shook his head with a smile on his face.

"No need, there's still a long waterway to Yuanjiang County, I'm not tired yet!"

The old boatman added another sentence in a relaxed tone.

"It seems that rocking the oar is particularly easy today, as if it's being pushed by water. You go light the stove and prepare some meals, and then you can take over for me when it's afternoon!"

The son scratched his head. Is this because dad wants to show off in front of the old master of Yuezhou Academy? But no one at home is studying.

"Dad, just call me when you are tired!"

"I got it, stop talking nonsense, go and prepare some special dishes for me to try!"

"well!"

The son responded, walked through the cabin to the front, and without disturbing the guests in front, he pulled up the hanging cage on one side of the ship. As the bamboo cage came out of the water, there were fish snapping and jumping inside, which was obviously very fresh. live.

But seeing the fish in the cage, the young boatman was slightly stunned.

"Dad - did you go fishing again before?"

"Aren't they just the ones from yesterday?"

The old boatman responded, and the son over there scratched his head, wondering why there were several more fish, and they were all big, fresh fish.

But after thinking about it, my son smiled and said, who cares!

River fresh food is cooked on the boat and the meals are served on the boat. This is the life of people who are half boat owners and half fishermen. Today's fish seems to be particularly delicious, which also makes the Yi family and Wu Ziqun who are enjoying it enjoy the food.

Since we were in a hurry, we naturally couldn't just stop and rest. Not to mention the two boatmen, even the two servants of the Yi family would help with the oar.

Eating and sleeping are all on the boat, which is easy for men, while women have toilets in the cabin.

"Whoosh, whoa, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The oars of the boat are constantly swaying, and the sound of water flows with the paddles. If anyone can see below the boat, they will find that there are always several fish shadows on the bottom of the boat, pulling the boat forward, causing the changes in the water flow.

When the young boatman was relieving himself at the back of the boat, he seemed to see some shadows under the water, but when the shaking guy took a closer look, it seemed like an illusion.

The speed of this boat trip was not a little bit fast. Not long after it got dark, the boat moved forward under the moonlight and actually reached the river section outside Yuanjiang County.

The old boatman stared blankly at the very clear lights of Yuanjiang County pier in the distance.

"It's really strange. The oar was rowing very vigorously today, and the boat felt a lot faster. But it's only daytime and we've already arrived in Yuanjiang County?"

The son also had his eyes widened, recalling the fish and some strange things during the day, and couldn't help but murmured something.

"Isn't it the Empress Yao E from the E River who is helping me?"

The boatman could see the lights of Yuanjiang County, and the Yi family at the front of the boat could also see them. Only Wu Ziqun was not sure whether they were the lights of Yuanjiang County.

But once the ship docked, no one would question it.

At this moment, Yi Abao was eager to return home. He just let Wu Ziqun go and told him to take his father to Yi Mansion tomorrow day, so he hired a carriage to go to Xihe Town first.

Near the wharf of Yuanjiang County, Wu Ziqun watched the carriage go away and smiled helplessly before walking towards the city gate. For many years, Yuanjiang County had been open to the public during the peaceful times. After all, many buildings had been built outside the city walls.

The layout of the old city within the city wall has not changed much over the years. Wu Ziqun walked home along a familiar road. When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw that the lights had not been turned off, so he knocked on the door outside the courtyard.

The sound of "dong dong dong" was particularly clear in the quiet night, and the sounds of insects around him suddenly became quiet.

"Who?"

Wu Yuantao's voice came from inside.

"Dad, it's me, Ziqun!"

"Subgroup?"

Wu Yuantao, who was over fifty and had gray hair, came out of the house, hurried to the courtyard and opened the door. Sure enough, his son was standing outside.

"If what I remember is correct, you just had your final exam today. Why did you get home so late at night?"

"Me. Well, it's a long story. It was Old Master Yi who brought me back and let me."

Halfway through the words, a woman's voice came from inside again.

"Is Ziqun back?"

"Mom - the baby is back -"

Wu Yuantao quickly pulled his son in.

"Let's go, let's not be in a hurry. If you have anything to do, go in and talk about it slowly. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet. Let's go, let's go. There are vegetables and rice at home. They are all still hot. Let's eat some first. Tomorrow I’ll make something delicious for you.”

After all, it was his parents who cared about their son. When Wu Ziqun returned home, he enjoyed the two elders' greetings and prepared meals.

Wu Ziqun settled down to eat first, and then chatted about the reason why he came back today while eating.

"Bang~"

Wu Yuantao slammed the table hard, startling Wu Ziqun who was taking a big mouthful of rice and chewing it, and also startled the woman on the side.

"What did you say? Mrs. Yi is back? Are you still eating? You didn't tell me earlier!"

"Uh, uh ho uh"

Wu Ziqun was so frightened by his father that he choked on his food. The woman on the side rushed to help him calm down.

Wu Ziqun finally swallowed the food in one gulp, then picked up the tea cup on the side and drank a cup in one gulp.

"Dad, you want to scare me to death"

"Yeah, why are you so scary all of a sudden!"

"Oh, this little bastard doesn't understand. Don't you understand either? Old Mrs. Yi, that's it, that's it."

Seeing his son and wife looking at him, Wu Yuantao lowered his voice.

"That's not an ordinary person. No, we have to go to Xihe Town immediately!"

"Oh, old man, what are you in a hurry? We have to make preparations. How can we have visitors late at night? Didn't Master Yi say we will go tomorrow?"

"Yeah yeah"

Wu Yuantao was a little excited at this meeting. He had met Mrs. Yi back then. He was a strange man. Not only his knowledge and calligraphy, but also his age, he couldn't stop it even if he was 120 or 30 years old? Isn’t he a divine figure?

"Go tomorrow, go tomorrow"

While muttering, Wu Yuantao walked to a corner of the inner hall and looked at the tablet over there.
