As the ship moved slowly, the wind on the deck became stronger and stronger, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou stood on the deck, looking at the river bank and the scenery on both sides, feeling refreshed.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Mrs. Wu came over and said, “Wangchun, look, there is a boat following us.”
Du Wanchun glanced back, then curved his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, let's move on."
Mrs. Wu nodded and conveyed these words to the boy driving the boat.
The boy pulled the sail and made the boat run faster and faster, and soon left Mr. You behind.
Young Master You also stood on the deck and watched, wondering: "What's going on? Why can't our ship catch up?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked the boy behind him: "Go and see, what's going on?"
"Yes, sir." ?.?????.ℂ??
After hearing this, the boy quickly went to the cockpit to see, and saw that the boy driving the boat had already raised the sail to the highest level.
They all looked puzzled, "That's not right. The sail is so high, why can't the boat move?"
Just when they were confused, a boy came over in a panic and said, "Oh no, no, there's a leak in the cabin underneath."
"What?" The boys were all shocked.
"Quickly, tell the young master this matter."
They shouted in panic.
When Young Master You got the news, he was also shocked, "What did you say? The boat leaked?"
"You said our boat leaked. Why did this good boat leak?"
he said in disbelief.
The boys all shook their heads and said, "You guys don't know that when the boat comes over, it's all fine."
Young Master You was so angry that he looked at the rushing river beside him. His legs and feet gradually became weak, "Quick, quick, prepare the boat for us to go."
The bottom of this boat is leaking, and it won't be long before the boat sinks.
He didn't expect that he originally wanted to see the Zhou family's shipwreck, but he didn't expect that his own ship was going to sink.
Just when he was anxiously thinking about how to escape, a boy pointed to the river and said: "Boat, our boat!"
Every large ship will have a small boat ready for emergencies.
Young Master You raised his head and looked in the direction they were pointing, only to see that it was his little follower.
The little follower and a few others listened to Mr. You's instructions and dug the leak out of the boat, then secretly left in the boat.
When he found Young Master You standing on the deck, he was stunned in place.
The people walking on the side looked at it and their jaws dropped. "Boss, what can we do? We have built the wrong ship."
The little follower gritted his teeth and said seriously: "What else can we do to run away? While he is still on the boat, let's run away with our family!"
"He is just the son of the county magistrate. We went to other state capitals, but they couldn't find him for a while."
When everyone heard what he said, they just waited to respond.
Young Master You stood on the deck, trembling with anger, "This idiot can make mistakes on the ship. When I go back, I must not teach him a lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the boat began to tilt. His legs were shaking with fear, and he clung to the railing tightly.
At the same time, the Zhou family's boat ahead had already docked.
Aunt Zhou watched the boat dock and said in surprise: "Did it dock so soon?"
Du Wanchun held her arm and said, "Yes, there is a village here called Xiangyue Village. A wedding is being held there. Let's go and have a look."
Aunt Zhou was happy that there was a happy event in the village and wanted to take a look.
The family got off the boat one after another.
When we arrived at the village, the suona and firecrackers were already ringing.
The villagers all gathered together to watch the fun.
Aunt Zhou held Du Wanchun's hand and stood on tiptoes to watch.
Suddenly, the patriarch of the village loudly shouted: "Oh no, the bride and groom are gone."
"What, how come he disappeared without a trace?" The villagers were also shocked.
Aunt Zhou also became confused when she heard this.
She asked the villagers in front of her: "What happened in the front?"
The villagers replied: "The bride and groom are missing."
Aunt Zhou was surprised and said: "There is also this matter. Are the parents of the two families not in a hurry?"
The villagers shook their heads and said: "No, they are foreigners. There is a custom in our village that every year we help foreigners organize a wedding, so that our village can have good weather. Unexpectedly, this couple of foreigners will have a big wedding with us. He ran away when the time came, which would harm the fortune of our village!"
This is the first time Aunt Zhou has heard of such a custom.
Just as the villagers were running around anxiously, someone turned their attention to Du Wanchun and the others.
"Aren't there foreigners here? Why don't we let them help put on a happy show, show it to God, and beg God not to take away the good fortune of our village."
