Chapter 39. Boguodu

"Brother Zhao, thank you."

Xiao Rongse changed from her usual coquettishness, and said with lowered eyebrows.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Rongjin watched from a distance Xiao Rongse and Zhao Mingyu who were coming and going by the fire. They seemed to be having a happy conversation, their eyes stayed on the clothes Xiao Rongse was wearing for a moment, and then paid no attention.

In the afternoon, the exile team finally arrived outside Boguo City. This Boguo City was very lively and prosperous. Liu Xiong and his party had to stay here for half a day to supply supplies. Therefore, the exiles were placed in the post station.

Before leaving, Liu Xiong deliberately came to Fu Yinong.

"Miss Fu, is there something we can bring back for you?"

Fu Yinong thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Thank you Captain Liu for your kindness, but I don't need supplies for the time being."

After the words fell, everyone immediately greeted envious eyes.

Fu Yinong didn't need it, but the other exiles rushed to put money into Liu Xiong's hand and begged him to bring things. There is no other way, they can't enter the city, they can only exchange things in this way.

Because half of the officials had entered the city, and the exiles who stayed in the station were not as strictly guarded as usual, Fu Yinong took Fu Xiaoxuan into the back kitchen of the station.

"Miss, do you want to use this stove?"

The person in charge of the back kitchen of the post station was a chubby middle-aged man, perhaps because Liu Xiong had greeted him before, when he saw Fu Yinong coming in, not only did he not lose his temper, but his attitude was very kind.

"Master Liu, I'd like to borrow a stove to make soup. Is it convenient?"

The fat chef nodded quickly when he heard that.

"Convenient, convenient, you can use it, girl, you just need to get the stove out before dinner."

Fu Yinong thanked her with a smile, placed Fu Xiaoxuan on a low stool beside him to light the fire, and took out a processed big fat chicken, dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and seasonings from the basket he was carrying. On the counter, he took out a small bag of rice and got busy in an orderly manner.

The fat chef was busy with his work while observing Fu Yinong. Seeing that she was an exile, but the things she brought out were not shabby, he couldn't help giving her another high-level look. Yi Nong's neat cooking technique, and the clang and forceful look of raising the knife in his hand, made him feel more satisfied.

It happened that the white rice cakes he had steamed exuded a fragrance, he picked up a few out of the bowl and stuffed them into Fu Xiaoxuan's hands, he said cheerfully.

"Little doll, eat quickly, this steamed rice cake is easy to digest, it is most suitable for little doll to eat."

Fu Xiaoxuan didn't expect this fat grandpa to be so generous, he glanced at Fu Yinong, and after receiving the hint, he showed a sweet smile.

"Thank you grandpa, Xiaoxuan likes it very much."

"This kid looks really good, and he's so cute, hahahaha"

The fat chef narrowed his eyes with joy.

Ever since Fu Xiaoxuan was with Fu Yinong, he ate enough, dressed warmly, and traveled long distances every day to exercise his body. He was completely different from his skinny appearance before, except that he was darker and thinner. The facial features are very correct, and people are also lively and love to laugh, so they are naturally pleasing.

Hearing Chef Fat's praise, his big smiling eyes turned into crescent moons.

Fu Yinong didn't care about the whispering conversation behind her. She washed the chicken, soaked the dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots in warm water, cut a small piece of ginger, and put the chicken and ginger into the crock Add water to it and simmer slowly, wait until the mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots are soaked, and then throw them in.

Taking advantage of the time when the chicken soup was stewed, she cleaned the rice and steamed it in the big pot. Once the meal was ready, it was time to make dinner at the post station.

Fu Yinong divided a crock pot of chicken soup into four parts, she and Fu Xiaoxuan got one, Fu Xun got one, Xiao Rongjin got one, and finally left one for the fat chef, who happily picked up another one for Fu Xiaoxuan Bowl of rice cakes.

When Fu Yinong came back to the room with the basket, Fu Xiaoxuan smelled the smell of chicken soup and couldn't wait to start dinner. Fu Yinong gave Fu Xun and Xiao Rongjin one each of the two black-faced steamed buns sent by the official.

"Eat quickly."

Fu Yinong divided the meal and ate it first.

Xiao Rongjin picked up the chicken soup in front of him, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help looking at Fu Yinong, his eyes were full of admiration.

"Delicious."

Fu Xun also praised happily.

The two unanimously started to eat rice with chicken soup and black-faced steamed buns. The chicken was saved without touching a bite. Seeing this, Fu Yinong pretended not to see it and acquiesced in this behavior.

This night, everyone was safe and sound, and everyone had a good night's sleep.

The next day, when Fu Yinong was making breakfast in the back kitchen, Liu Xiong came to him.

"Miss Fu, this is for you."

Looking at the things Liu Xiong handed over, Fu Yinong was puzzled.

"Miss Fu, don't get me wrong, we will have to take a boat from the ferry to get to the other side later, but I just found out that Boguo Ferry will be shrouded in heavy fog in the next few days, just in case, I prepared it for you, Miss Fu. This swimming outfit."

The swimming equipment that Liu Xiong talked about is actually a set of gauze dresses as thin as cicada's wings. This kind of gauze will float up when exposed to water. People float on the water, and this kind of veil is very rare.

Fu Yinong did not expect that Liu Xiong would give her such a precious thing, and she herself is not afraid of water, so she pushed the equipment back and declined.

"Captain Liu, I can swim, and the water quality is excellent, so you should keep this set of equipment for yourself."

When Liu Xiong heard this, he was immediately surprised. He really didn't expect that Fu Yinong could know how to swim. After all, in the Great Chu Kingdom, except for those who grew up by the water since childhood, there are very few women who can swim, let alone What's more, Fu Yinong was born in the countryside and only recently found her by herself.

This set of gauze clothes was given to him by a group of exiles he had escorted before. Originally, he thought that this time it could just be given to Fu Yinong, but she didn't need it at all.

In the end, Liu Xiong had to give some instructions and left.

Fu Yinong turned around, only to see the fat chef frowning and looking at her with disapproval on his face.

"Girl, you are really underestimating. This Boguodu is not the small river in the country. It runs through several cities. The river is wide and boundless, and the undercurrent is surging. In addition, the river has been shrouded in fog these days, and it is extremely easy to happen. In such accidents as hitting a boat and falling into the water, countless evil spirits and ghosts die in the river every year, so don’t be careless.”

"Oh? Hearing what you said, this Boguodu is not so simple."

As Fu Yinong said, he lowered his head and began to think. Such a way of crossing the river is extremely dangerous. If someone with a heart is mixed in, once he encounters a plot on the river, it is really close to death for ordinary people. No wonder Liu Xiong wants to do it in private. Give her the veil.

 Thank you very much for the votes of Gum Candy, Heart Like Water, Scar Red, and the future of the pen, thank you for your support!
