When the waiter took Lin Jiao to the deck, the steward was busy telling people to park the boat quickly to the shore.
The snow is already falling heavier, the wind is getting stronger, and the temperature is getting colder. Soon the river will be frozen.
At that time, they can only abandon the ship and escape.
But if you do this, your boss will definitely blame you if you find out.
"What does this little guy want from me?"
Seeing Lin Jiao holding a knife, the steward did not dare to neglect and asked politely.
These fleeing people, as long as they carry something with them, they are definitely carrying their lives. They cannot afford to offend such people.
"Steward, I would like to ask if there will be someone to pick you up when you get ashore soon?"
Lin Jiao asked.
From here to the shore, there is no village or store in front of us, and heading forward at night in such a heavy snowstorm is simply asking for death.
"Little brother, why are you asking this?"
The steward looked at Lin Jiao warily, "Our boss did arrange a carriage to pick us up, but as you can see, there are so many men and servants on board, and the carriage may not be enough."
The steward was warning Lin Jiao not to take advantage of their carriage.
Lin Jiao smiled, took out a banknote and put it in the steward's hand, "Brother, my brother and I can't take up as much space as you do. The wind and snow are so strong now, and it's so cold that my brother is suffering again."
"Shang, if we two walk like this, we might freeze to death on the road. Brother, please take me for a part of the way."
What Lin Jiao gave was a one hundred tael silver note, which can be said to be a generous sum.
The steward looked at the one hundred taels of silver notes in his hand and was very excited. It was freezing cold and he came to work. When he got back, his employer would only reward him with one tael of silver. Now that the ship had docked halfway, they might even fine him.
"Okay, seeing as how difficult it is for you, I agree."
The steward collected the banknotes and said to Lin Jiao: "Bring your brother out first. The ship will dock soon. Then you and I will ride in a carriage.
Take a carriage from here and you'll arrive at Wei County in three hours. When you get there, get off the carriage and find a place to live on your own, and I won't care about you."
"Thank you, steward. I'll go and carry my brother out right now."
Lin Jiao thanked him happily, turned around and went back to the room to drag Xiao Jiuan out of the space, then put another thick coat on him before carrying him out of the room.
Xiao Jiuan has not woken up, and she cannot keep throwing Xiao Jiuan in space. She started throwing him into the spiritual spring to save his life, but there was no way.
Now that his injuries are no longer serious, Lin Jiao does not intend to throw him into space anymore. After all, no one will be unmoved by such a heaven-defying existence as space.
Lin Jiao didn't want to be exposed if she could.
When Lin Jiao carried Xiao Jiu'an out, many people had already come out of the room and were preparing to disembark.
She carried Xiao Jiuan on her back and found the steward. At this moment, the ship had docked, and the steward was directing a group of men on the ship to disembark first.
When she saw Lin Jiao carrying a man who was taller than her, she immediately said to the waiters beside her: "You guys help this little brother get the people off the boat and arrange them on my carriage."
He is in charge, and his employer has specially prepared a carriage for him.
"Thank you, steward."
Lin Jiao thanked her gratefully, and together with several other guys, she sent Xiao Jiu'an to the ground safely.
There is no pier here, and it is really not very convenient to get off the boat. If she is carrying Xiao Jiuan on her back, she will fall into the river accidentally.
Standing by the river safely and safely, Lin Jiao and another waiter took turns carrying Xiao Jiu'an on their backs, and it took a while before they reached the carriage the housekeeper had mentioned.
"The road here is easier. The carriages that pick us up are parked here. Brother, please get on the carriage with your brother first. I have to go find the steward."
"Thank you very much."
Lin Jiao put Xiao Jiu'an on the carriage, took out a quilt, spread it under him, and covered him with another bed.
This is a quilt she bought herself, not from the ship.
There was a charcoal basin in the carriage. Lin Jiao lit the fire and soon the carriage became warm. She used the kettle on the carriage to boil a pot of hot water and poured it into the bamboo tube.
There are more than a dozen carriages parked here.
It's all prepared for the guys on the ship.
It seems that this boss's family is pretty good, at least he doesn't ignore these people.
After almost half an hour, the steward came back with the crew on board.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. I boiled hot water. Please drink some."
Lin Jiao poured a glass of hot water for the steward. It was also beneficial to herself to form good relationships with people on the way to escape.
"Thank you little brother, I was really frozen to death just now."
The steward was fat and generous. He glanced at Xiao Jiu'an who was lying down, took out a pack of snacks from the box of the carriage and handed it to Lin Jiao.
"Little brother, please eat something. I don't have anything good here. I just have a bag of snacks, so you can make do with it."
Someone gave him one hundred taels of silver, so he couldn't be too stingy.
"Thank you, bro."
Lin Jiao didn't show any pretense and took the snack.
The carriage staggered on the road. Sitting in the carriage, Lin Jiao could hear the roar of the wind outside. Because the snow was so heavy, anti-slip materials were placed on the wheels of the carriage.
The carriage did not go very fast. It took five hours to reach Wei County, which could have been reached in three hours.
It was already noon of the second day.
The carriage entered the county town, and Lin Jiao asked the steward to take her and Xiao Jiu'an to the door of a medical clinic.
Although Xiao Jiuan's injury seemed to be nothing serious, Lin Jiao was still a little worried because he was unconscious and thought it would be more reassuring to find a doctor to see him.
The doctor at this medical clinic was an old man with gray hair. The old doctor looked at Xiao Jiu'an's condition, frowned and shook his head.
Lin Jiao's heart suddenly lifted.
"Old doctor, how is my brother's health?
Is it seriously injured?"
The old doctor shook his head, "The injuries on his body are almost healed, and the injury on his chest is not serious. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Then why isn't my eldest brother awake yet?"
Lin Jiao then asked.
Since nothing is wrong, why is this old man shaking his head and sighing?
Don't you know it's scary?
"The injuries on his body are not serious, but he took a medicine that closes the five senses. The effect of this medicine is extremely overbearing. If you take it, you can instantly feel no pain, and your strength can even triple. However,
There is a drawback, it is extremely draining and damaging to the body.”
After the old doctor finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Jiu'an and shook his head, "Your brother was still poisoned, so you're lucky to have saved his life.
As for when I will wake up..."
"Um?"
Lin Jiao looked at the old doctor helplessly, "Don't gasp for breath."
"I'll give him acupuncture one by one, and I'll make a bowl for him to drink. The rest will depend on his luck."
After saying that, the old doctor came over with a silver needle and applied it to Xiao Jiu'an.
