Chapter 419: A Great Place
Gu Qinghan felt that the price here was very affordable and he didn't want to bother with it any more. Although there was a salty smell here, everyone could accept it. Bi Jing and his friends were all children from poor families and they had no right to be particular about the environment.
They rented the house for three days at the same price agreed upon by Hong Qiwei, which was exactly six people. Lin Congjing was invited by Cheng Bo to live in his grandson's room. His grandson was not at home, so naturally everyone lived together.
It seemed that I had been on the boat for a long time and the initial dizziness had disappeared.
At this time, it was almost dusk and the sky was filled with red clouds.
A few people put down their luggage, walked onto the deck, and looked at the returning sails in the distance.
There were a few children chasing and playing at the dock not far away, and behind them there was a man carrying a net and heading home. A few seabirds flew over the water, screaming in surprise.
"Big brothers, there is hot water in the pot over there, and the bath tub is over there. If you want to take a bath, you can get it from there." Seeing them coming down, Tian Eryu looked up and said to them.
"Okay, we got it. Thank you Xiaoyu." Li Junyong replied gently and handed a large piece of dried fish in his hand to Tian Cheng who was busy.
They paid extra for the meal and had a meal at Tian Cheng's place tonight. Lu Zijie also took out the mung bean sprouts he had grown to create a fresh dish for everyone.
Tian Cheng was very curious to see the extra meat and vegetables, especially the sprouts, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that the meal would take some time to prepare, Gu Qinghan scooped a few spoonfuls of hot water, added some cold water, and went back to his room to take a shower.
"Cheng Bo, do you live on the boat all year round?" Luo Xile asked curiously.
"Not really. When it rains heavily and the wind is strong, we will get off the boat and live back in the village." Tian Cheng replied.
"So you have a house in the village, then why don't you live here? It's so cold living on the water, it's not good for your health." Lu Zijie also came over and said.
"We are used to it. On the one hand, we take care of the ship, and on the other hand, it is convenient for us to go out to sea. As long as the family is together, living anywhere is home."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Luo Xile nodded in agreement. He missed his grandparents and Xiao Jiang. He had been away for so long and didn't know how his family was doing.
At this time, an old woman with a cane came up slowly, pressing the wooden board. Seeing so many people on the deck, she was a little surprised, "Old Tian, is today a good day? Why are there so many young men here?"
"Grandma, you're back. Come and sit here. You'll be eating soon." Tian Eryu immediately ran to Jiang Chunyan and supported her.
Li Junyong and his group nodded to Jiang Chunyan, sat cross-legged on the deck, and looked at the sunset in the sky.
"Let's just consider today a good day. It's been a long time since we have so many people on our ship." Tian Cheng replied happily, swinging the shovel in his hand faster and faster.
Jiang Chunyan looked at this group of boys who were about the same age as her grandson. A smile appeared on her wrinkled face and her frown finally relaxed a little. It would have been great if Shitou was here too.
There was still some time before the meal was ready. Li Junyong glanced at the two people who were reading books. He was very curious about the injuries on their faces. After all, they did not look like those caused by a fall.
The man named Gao Dong looked like a walking corpse, with no expression on his face. He even flipped through the books blindly, his eyes staring straight at the water.
Everyone present saw this strangeness, but no one dared to ask.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. There was a noise coming from the stairs on the second floor. It was Gu Qinghan who came down with dirty clothes after taking a shower. Feng Juesheng quickly stood up as he also wanted to take a shower.
"Big brother, after getting off the boat, walk in that direction. There is a small river where you can wash clothes." Tian Eryu was a very observant person. He stopped when he was about to go out to deliver medicine to Hong Qiwei and Gao Dong and pointed in the direction to Gu Qinghan.
"Okay, thank you Xiaoyu." Gu Qinghan nodded and walked in the direction Tian Eryu pointed. It was not far from the dense forest, so it was a good opportunity to explore.
Tian Eryu received the thanks from his handsome brother, raised the corner of his mouth, and jumped towards Hong Qiwei and Gao Dong.
Hong Qiwei looked at the ointment handed to him, and at the little girl in front of him with a round face and a very cute smile. Even though he had a blank expression on his face, he forced a smile.
"Brother, if you don't want to laugh, you don't have to force yourself." Tian Eryu saw through Hong Qiwei's politeness and comforted him.
Hong Qiwei's face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I understand, thank you Xiaoyu, give me that brother's as well." He spread out his hands and said.
Tian Eryu looked at the older brother on the other side who didn't react at all, his big eyes full of confusion, but he also knew that the older brother was not in good condition. He pursed his lips, wanting to ask something, but still kept his mouth shut.
Grandpa said that you shouldn’t ask other people about their sad stories. If he wants you to know something, he will tell you actively.
"Well, here you go. I hope the injuries of the two big brothers can heal quickly."
Hong Qiwei paused as he took back the ointment and nodded, "It will be fine." Everything will be fine, everything will pass, Gao Dong should wake up after a good sleep.
Before they arrived at Zhuangzhou City, they were robbed by bandits. They managed to keep the valuables on them with all their might, but the tablets of Gao Dong's parents and his sister were smashed to pieces by the bandits. Even the only pendant his mother left for him was broken. The boy was incited and threw himself on the bandits desperately, and when he saw blood and remembered bad things, he changed completely and became like this. They are cousins, and he had heard that there was only one person left in their family. It's no wonder that he became like this. If he had encountered such a change, he might not be much better than him. He would be crazier and more irrational than him, and he would not be like him, shutting himself off.
"It's time to eat. Everyone wash your hands and call those who are not here." Tian Cheng shouted and brought the hot dishes to the table.
"Here they are. I'll go call them."
……
As night falls, the sky becomes dotted with stars.
There was only one oil lamp lit on the boat, and the moonlight shone on the water, making the entire surface shimmer and sparkle.
Gu Qinghan lay on the bed, listening to the sound of waves hitting the rocks outside and the snoring inside the house, and feeling the boat swaying slightly.
Tsk, I can’t seem to sleep.
Gu Qinghan stood up, put on his coat, gently pushed open the window, jumped out of the window, jumped onto the deck, and then jumped from the deck onto the dock.
He thought of a perfect place.
Thinking of this, his thin lips curled up.
