Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and waved to Chen'er, who was standing behind the mast on the second floor.

Chen'er suddenly took a step back, raised his hands, straightened the sleeves on both arms with a solemn expression, then leaned forward ninety degrees in the direction of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang and made a long bow, bidding farewell to his parents.

Yang Ruoqing paused in waving, her heart warmed, and she shouted to him with a smile: "Go in, it's windy outside!"

Chen'er bowed three times in a row before turning around and returning to the cabin.

At this time, the big ship had also anchored, its sails were raised, and it slowly sailed away from the dock.

Until they reached the big ship owner, the place where the water and the sky met gradually shrank into a small black dot. Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were still standing on the dock, looking straight at...

"Chen'er has gone far, Qing'er, let's go back too." Luo Fengtang said softly.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses, glanced at Luo Fengtang, and suddenly sighed with emotion, and then smiled: "Okay, old man, let's go back!"

Luo Fengtang was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.

He reached out and gently held her shoulders, and the two of them turned and walked back.

At this time, the sun was almost in the western sky, and the river was dyed red.

The afterglow shone down, stretching the silhouettes of the two of them very, very long...

"How about we go to Tianxiang Building for a night and go back tomorrow?" Yang Ruoqing was still a little worried that he would be too tired to carry the car while driving.

She was sitting in the carriage, which was warm, but he was sitting in the front, where the wind was blowing, and it was cold.

Luo Fengtang said: "There is nothing in the restaurant except a bed. It is not like the twelfth lunar month when we can go to the night market to buy food. It is the first lunar month and there is nothing on the street. It is better to go home."

Yang Ruoqing thought about it and took two steps. Suddenly, she raised her hand and hit her head: "Oh, look at my memory. Tang Yazi, let's go, I'll take you to someone's house, and I'll make sure we have food and drink tonight."

You can also sleep under a warm quilt!”

Luo Fengtang was surprised and said: "Whose house is it? It's not good to go to someone else's house this afternoon..."

Yang Ruoqing blinked: "Don't worry, the family I want to take you to doesn't need to pay attention to these things!"

Seeing her sly eyes and naughty smile, Luo Fengtang suddenly understood.

He also laughed, "Haha, what a great idea, this is really a good place for us today!"

Horse-drawn carriages were driving on the streets of Wanghai County. The usually bustling streets seemed much more spacious during the Chinese New Year because there were fewer people walking around.

So Luo Fengtang's carriage drove faster than usual and started galloping on the street. Yang Ruoqing leaned in the carriage and squinted, thinking about where Chen'er was now. She shouldn't be seasick after getting on the boat, right?

The hawthorn cake I made for him in the morning was sour and sweet. I wonder if he ate it and whether he liked the taste...

Suddenly, the carriage beneath him shook violently, and an emergency brake came on.

Fortunately, Yang Ruoqing is a practitioner herself and is well-trained, so she can take emergency precautions against such unexpected situations.

He grabbed the handrails on the inner wall of the carriage with both hands in time, tried to stabilize his body, and integrated his body weight with the carriage. Only in this way could he prevent his head from knocking a blood-red flower on the inner wall of the carriage.

"hiss……"

After an emergency brake, the carriage almost tilted up, and the young and strong horse pulling the carriage neighed.

Then came Luo Fengtang's comforting voice. The horse snorted and finally dropped its front hooves back to the ground. The carriage also stabilized after another loud earthquake.

"Qing'er, are you okay?"

Luo Fengtang jumped out of the car, and the first thing he did was to lift the curtain of the carriage and ask Yang Ruoqing behind him.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I'm fine. What happened just now? Why do you feel like you're about to overturn?"

Luo Fengtang said: "It's all my fault. The car was going a little too fast, and a child suddenly ran out across the street and almost hit me."

"What?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised. She quickly got off the carriage and looked around a few times, "Where are the children? There aren't any on the road?"

Luo Fengtang also looked around, raised his hand and scratched his head: "I obviously saw it, but why did it disappear so quickly?"

Yang Ruoqing asked: "How old is the child? Boy or girl?"

Luo Fengtang said: "She is about six or seven years old, a little girl."

"Is he a little beggar?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

"Looking at what he's wearing, it looks a bit like..."

"I'm not a beggar, I have a name, a father and a mother!"

A clear childish voice came from the side.

The couple took a closer look and saw a little girl with disheveled hair coming out from behind the lucky stone lion in front of a nearby bank.

On a cold day, this child was wearing only a few layers of clothing. The shoes he wore were spring and autumn shoes, and they had holes in them.

Behind the messy bangs, a pair of eyes were dark and bright, glaring at Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang with anger, as if she was dissatisfied with the title of 'little beggar' they gave her.

Seeing such a young girl, Yang Ruoqing's heart softened immediately.

She took a few steps towards the little girl, and the little girl immediately stepped back and hid behind the stone lion like a little wild cat.

Dirty little hands picked up the claws of the stone lion, and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a pair of wary eyes from behind.

Yang Ruoqing quickly stopped where she was and showed a gentle and friendly smile to the little girl.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person and I won't hurt you." Yang Ruoqing explained.

The little girl looked at Yang Ruoqing, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Uncle Cai was driving the carriage. Did it scare you? Are you injured anywhere?"

The little girl shook her head: "No, I run very fast. In my hometown, my friends couldn't catch up with me. My father praised me as a scud!"

Scud?

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

This little girl is quite courageous and not afraid of strangers at all. Yang Ruoqing actually saw some shadows of Baby Luo in her.

As a result, the eyes he looked at the little girl became more and more affectionate.

"Little sister, why don't you go home on this cold day? Where do you live? Where are your parents?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

"My mother said that my mother is gone," the little girl said. When she said this, there was obviously a trace of confusion and melancholy in her big eyes.

Maybe she still doesn't fully understand what 'home is gone...'

But Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were a little confused when they heard this.

"Did this child sneak out without telling his family?" Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Eighty percent yes."

"Little sister, where are your parents? If you run around alone like this, your parents will be very anxious if they can't find you." Yang Ruoqing continued.
