Chapter 110: Fearless, Reckless
Chapter 110: Fearless, reckless
The lantern was in front of me, and the cold dagger was not far away. The girl curled up and retreated towards the bulkhead. She thought she would not be spared this time, but she did not expect that the other party's conditions were so light, so she dared not to agree. She nodded desperately like a chicken pecking at rice.
The distance between the two sides was close, and Li Meng could smell a warm fragrance lingering in his nose. Although the girl was wearing men's clothes and was so panicked, she looked so playful and cute in every move. Li Meng was really afraid of scaring her. Seeing the girl agreeing, Li Meng took the dagger and picked off the rope tied to the girl's body, and pulled off the cloth that was stuffed with her mouth.
As soon as the girl's body recovered from freedom, she jumped up from the deck almost immediately, and her movements were extremely rapid. Even Li Meng subconsciously flashed to the side and watched the girl rushing outward.
Li Meng immediately thought about whether this girl was going to jump into the river. She was so strong-willed, but the boatmen on the boat were all good at water, so they just jumped down and caught it. Li Meng was about to say hello, but he didn't hear the expected sound of falling into the water, but vomited.
It was really strange. Li Meng hurriedly went out of the cabin to see. There were already four or five salted dicks around who heard the sound. Seeing Li Meng come out, these people went back to their respective posts.
The girl was lying on the side of the boat and vomiting. Li Meng wondered, thinking that it was seasickness. After vomiting for a long time, the girl was left with dry retching and couldn't vomit anything. She was just spitting out there.
After finally waiting for the girl's vomiting, Li Meng finally stopped. He thought that this person had vomited out all his internal organs. He saw the girl turn around and complain:
"You haven't washed the cloth that stuffs your mouth? It smells disgusting. Get some water for me to rinse my mouth."
It was really gone, but Li Meng found it quite interesting. She smiled and asked Yan Ding to bring the girl a bowl of water. The girl took the bowl and first complained that the bowl was not clean. Then she rinsed her mouth with water and spitted her mouth. The half bowl she saved was drunk by her. It was obvious that she was so thirsty that she tied it in the cabin.
"I'm so hungry, do I have any food?"
Nowadays, it is rare to see such a girl who is so unafraid of being a child and so generous. In connection with the girl's previous words and deeds, it really confirms Li Meng's judgment. I don't know that it was the daughter of the wealthy family who went out to wander around in the city, but Li Meng was too lazy to care. Anyway, he did not plan to stay there for a long time when he came to Henan this time, so he would just send someone back.
The carp cooked by the boatman himself was strong oil and sauce, with strong aroma, and some pickles, because Li Meng and his friends gave enough money, and each meal had white flour hard cakes. This was a good meal at this time. The boatman and the boatman were reluctant to eat it. They prepared it for the salt cucumbers. Chen Liu and Wang Hai couldn't stand it. They said that they were just eating it, and the account was all settled on the salt cucumbers. As a result, the boatman and the boatman were both grateful and were polite every day.
Someone brought it to the bow of the boat. Li Meng leaned over to wash his hands, and then made it to the small charcoal stove. The fish soup was still gusting with heat, which looked particularly sweet.
In Henan where famine is everywhere, there must be many people selling their children for this meal, but when the girl saw this meal, she frowned and said:
"This is supper!"
Li Meng found that the girl had no intention of being afraid at all. At least she was very excited from the chattering and talking nonsense. Li Meng was really hungry and didn't bother to pay attention to the girl opposite. She picked up the bread baked by the charcoal stove and broke it apart, dipped it in the fish soup, and then put it in her mouth. The noodles were full of juice and the taste was very delicious.
The girl opposite saw Li Meng dipping the broken bread in a casserole, and immediately screamed and shouted:
"How dirty, how else can I eat?"
But I looked very hungry. After complaining, I also took a piece of cake and dipped it in the same way as the juice. It was so delicious that the food was hungry. Moreover, the cake was dipped in thick juice and pickles. The taste was still good. When the girl took the first bite, her eyes immediately lit up and she started eating it voraciously. She almost choked several times.
The subtle movements of a beautiful woman are very moving. If she is a beautiful girl, she can be called cute. The girl looks the same. Li Meng was eating noodles there slowly and looking at the girl opposite, she found it very interesting.
Li Meng asked slowly:
"After struggling for a day, I still don't know the girl's name. Can you tell me?"
The two noodles there seemed to be full. The girl wiped her mouth without any etiquette, looked up and smiled, and said:
"My name is Zhou Zhujun."
When Li Meng reads novels and magazines in modern times, there are metaphors such as someone smiling and immediately appearing brighter around him. Looking at Zhou Zhujun opposite him today, Li Meng really felt that the description was not unreasonable. At least the girl in front of him could prove this.
To be fair, the girl who calls herself Zhou Zhujun in front of her is much more beautiful than Yan Ruoran, but Li Meng can appreciate it with a calm attitude, and is not as anxious as she is dating Yan Ruoran. The relationship between men and women is often the kind of subtle moments that can't be explained clearly.
After the girl said her name, she jumped up and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the ships in front and behind. All the boats were hanging lanterns at the bow and stern of the boat. With the light of stars and moon, the scenery on both sides was faintly visible in the darkness. The scenery was quite good. Zhou Zhujun was very interested, which was exactly the first time he was riding a boat.
Before he knew it, Li Meng felt that his mood was relaxed by the liveliness of the girl in front of him. Even with Li Meng's knowledge in this era, he knew that Zhou Zhujun's name was a pseudonym and the girl's boudoir name was not so simple, let alone the girl's expression was obviously different when she said this name.
However, Li Meng didn't want to ask the bottom line. Anyway, it was just an episode in the journey in Henan. When he returned, he would just send the girl back to Kaifeng. I guess there would be no chance to meet in the future. Regardless of whether the name is true or false, it would be the code name for the title.
Li Meng called the boatman over and set up a room for Zhou Zhujun on the boat, and told the salt diners to avoid some things. After all, there is a difference between men and women. After the arrangements were completed, the girl was still walking around the boat with great enthusiasm. Li Meng said loudly:
"My name is Li Meng. If you have any questions on this boat, come to me. Don't run around and ask questions, so as not to be unhappy."
The girl agreed crisply over there, still walking around happily, very excited...
The boat sailing on the Yellow River is different from the canal, that is, the river surface is much wider and the scenery on both sides is much richer. But that's all, Li Meng and Yan Ding have been tired of it. When sailing, they wipe their weapons. The routine preaching of Li Meng's life today is great for Li Meng. If it is convenient, they will go to the shore twice a day, and the Yan Ding still does not delay the practice.
However, Li Meng and the others didn't look at it, but Zhou Zhujun, who had just gotten on the boat, felt it was fresh everywhere. Every morning, he would run around the boat when he opened his eyes, chattering and asking non-stop. Fortunately, such a beautiful and cute girl asked her questions. Everyone was honest, but her attitude was quite solemn.
The origin of the girl became more and more interesting in Li Meng's eyes. It was normal to see that she had never left Kaifeng City. Some of the daughters of wealthy families had never even been in the house. However, Zhou Zhujun had too many conflicts and knew almost nothing about the world, but she seemed to be very informative about some conveniences. Judging from her appearance and skin, she was clearly a noble family member of a wealthy family. In theory, she should be familiar with etiquette, but she did not abide by the rules at all. Some behaviors can even be said to be presumptuous. Even if it is the children of wealthy families, Yan Ruoran likes to read poetry and articles, and it seems normal to like porcelain education. How can a girl know the Daming Rule and the Firearms, and it is also related to it.
Zhou Zhujun suddenly followed Li Meng and the others that time, which should have been an unintentional act. Now it can be roughly inferred that he thought that Li Meng and his party were going out of the city as a cover. He also blamed Li Meng and others for having shameful places. A group of people were embarrassed and embarrassed and left the city with mistakes.
But Li Meng was unwilling to ask anything. The more he knew, the more trouble he had. Although such a girl looked soothing every day, she was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She was able to send her back to Kaifeng after she came back.
Two days after leaving Kaifeng City, Li Meng stayed in his cabin and watched the old residence newspaper he brought out in Kaifeng City that day. This was created by the Meng brothers in the city.
Dibao is one of the most effective means for Li Meng to understand this era. However, since he went to Gaomi to wipe out the horse thieves and returned to Jiaozhou to prepare for departure, he has not had time to pay attention. Moreover, after the station was cancelled, although private messages between Li Meng and Eunuch Liu could be circulated, the delivery and reception of Dibao may not be smooth, and it is also intermittent.
Everything was smooth in Kaifeng. Li Meng simply asked the Meng brothers to make some old residence reports. Anyway, the residence reports everywhere were copied on paper and sold to retired officials and scholars who were close to this path.
In fact, this is also a rare pastime for Li Meng, which is similar to the fact that he had to buy a morning newspaper before going to the car every day in later generations.
