Xiaobai didn't expect that the corpse poison on the old lady was so domineering.

I seemed to be fine at that time, but gradually I felt hot all over and then fell into a coma.

When I was unconscious, I vaguely heard some of Zhou Ze’s muttering.

Looking at Zhou Ze who was holding him, needless to say, he must have saved him. Xiaobai looked at Zhou Ze with some complexity.

Xu Gongzhu asked her to protect Zhou Ze at the beginning, but she had to do it for the promise.

Now, this person is really different from most people in this world. Although he is a little timid and afraid of death, he can still stand up once he encounters danger.

Seeing Zhou Ze curled up, he seemed a little cold.

The tail was gently hooked and the quilt fell on Zhou Ze. Xiaobai changed his head to a comfortable position, and this time he fell asleep without any defense.

After a while, it was bright outside the window.

Sanbao approached Zhou Ze and gently patted Zhou Ze's arm.

"Young master, wake up!"

Zhou Ze frowned, rubbed his eyes and looked down at Xiaobai in his arms.

The blood stains on the front legs were still there and they didn't wake up. Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems useless, it's a waste!"

The three treasures came over, looking puzzled.

"What wasted by the young master?"

Zhou Ze waved his hand, gently covered Xiaobai with a quilt, and turned over and got out of bed.

"It's okay, we should leave when we wash up."

Sanbao had already put the basin in the water at this time. Zhou Ze got up to wash, finished tidying up, and was about to hug Xiaobai, but then he found that Xiaobai was looking at him.

Zhou Ze's face showed an unconcealed surprise.

"You're awake!"

Xiaobai stretched, with no concern on his face.

"Yeah, I'm not dead yet, so prepare some water and wash it up for me."

Zhou Ze was black and thought to himself, just lick the cats by themselves, why are there so many things to do?

But it’s good if the bodyguard wakes up, at least he has some confidence in his heart.

Without giving instructions, the Three Treasures were quick and prepared water.

Xiaobai jumped down and turned into a human form. After cleaning it, Zhou Ze found that her clothes had been changed. Although they were all white, they were a little different.

"Have you been hurt?"

Xiaobai nodded.

"Okay, what did you eat for me?"

Zhou Ze paused and put away the wooden box.

"It's nothing. Since you're fine, let's set off earlier."

Xiaobai looked at Zhou Ze secretly and didn't ask any more questions. In fact, she knew in her heart that since Zhou Ze didn't say anything, she didn't say much.

The three left the inn and continued on their way.

....................................

Five days later.

Noon.

They hurried to Guangyuan Wharf.

Sanbao ran back quickly while wiping his sweat, and excitedly showed off his face to Zhou Ze.

"The young master and the cart were sold, and there were 70 taels in total here."

Zhou Ze quickly put away the banknotes and kept his wealth from being revealed. This was his most valuable property. Although seventy taels were not too much, he had a lot of money on the way.

"I've inquired about the ship, is there any suitable price?"

"If you hire a boat to Hejiang County alone, it will be a little more expensive and you will need twenty-five taels of silver. You can prepare it on the boat. If you take a big boat, you will not eat, and you will need eight taels of silver. What kind of guy should we choose?"

Zhou Ze thought about it and it seemed cheap to take a big boat, but it was troublesome to eat, so it was a bit dangerous to live with others. He pondered for a while and endured his heartache and gave the Three Treasures ten taels of silver notes.

"Then hire a ship alone, but pay the remaining money and let them prepare their food. The ship needs to be maintained. By the way, how long does it take to get to Hejiang River?"

Three treasures quickly took the silver notes and put them in.

"I asked, it will take twelve days, but it will be decided today. I need to board the ship tomorrow morning, and the boatman will also prepare some supplies."

Looking at the busy dock, Zhou Ze nodded.

"It's only September 17th today, and there are still eighteen days. If we have time, we will find a place to stay overnight. We are really tired after traveling day and night."

Xiaobai, who was lying on his shoulders, didn't make a sound. It was peaceful these days and she had completely recovered.

The two left the pier and walked directly to a street next to the pier without hiring a car.

It is very prosperous. After walking a short distance, I saw the inns ahead, and it was obvious that they all changed water or land here.

I found a small inn to settle down, put down my luggage, and Zhou Ze carried Xiaobai downstairs.

"I'll get on the boat tomorrow, find a place to eat, and my mouth fades out of my head."

Sanbao swallowed a mouthful of water, and indeed he was just eating dry food on the way. As soon as he said that, his stomach started to scream.

"What do you want to eat for the young master? I see that there are fish restaurants here, why don't we go eat fish too?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai, who had closed his eyes, raised his head and Zhou Ze held back his smile.

"Go and have a look. I guess fish are indispensable along the way. Let's first make it easier to save some money."

Sanbao grinned.

"Everything is OK!"

Zhou Ze didn't say anything nonsense, hugged Xiaobai downstairs, and opposite the inn was a very large restaurant, with strings of red lanterns, which looked very festive, and there were many people coming in and out. The plaque read the words Tongchunlou.

This name gives Zhou Ze a sense of intimacy. In that world he lives in, there is a Tongchun Tower in Beijing, an absolutely century-old restaurant with extremely distinctive food and an absolutely golden sign.

"Just go to this Tongchunlou, it looks good."

Sanbao blinked and asked in a low voice:

"Young master is not trying to save money, it seems to be very expensive here, right?"

Zhou Ze smiled.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two of them did not stop and entered Tongchun Tower directly. Xiaobai was small and still nestled on Zhou Ze's shoulders, and no one paid attention.

After finding a table to sit down, the waiter came over to greet him enthusiastically and wiped the clean table with a rag.

"What are you going to have? Our restaurant specializes in a fish banquet. Do you want to give it a try?"

Zhou Ze glanced at him and there were many signs hanging behind the wine table. As expected, most of them were fish and shrimp, and the names looked fancy.

The little white paw stepped on Zhou Ze, which was obvious. She wanted to eat fish.

Although there was no too much communication, Xiaobai's hostility towards Zhou Ze was much less.

Zhou Ze asked with a smile.

“What are the special fish here?”

"This is a riverside, with many fish, including yellow croaker, carp, black fish, white crucian carp, croaker, grass carp, etc. There are even more methods to cook, steamed and braised.

Of course, the most special one is the turf here. You two want one and three pounds, fish tail braised, fish body meatballs, fish head and fish bones for soup, and eat one fish three times. Many customers are so cheap."

Zhou Ze nodded, and Xiaobai rubbed his claws on the spot, as if he was very satisfied with the arrangement.

"Just want this. Pick us a four-pound chunk of grass carp, eat three as you said, and then ask for one pound of sauce meat and two bowls of rice. That's it."

"Okay, you'll be there later."

The waiter happily went to make arrangements, and Sanbao swallowed.

"I don't know if it's expensive."

Zhou Ze didn't respond, drinking tea and listening to the people around him chatting. The people in the restaurant were all kinds of accents. It sounded very messy, but it was very popular.

At the door, a woman holding a pipa helped an old man step in. The old man's eyes were deeply sunken, and he looked blind.

The girl's almond eyes were slightly drooping, with a hint of natural resentment and a delicate and delicate feeling that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She wanted to take care of her and care for her at a glance.

Even though Zhou Ze, who had seen all kinds of beautiful beauties on the screen, could not help but take a few more glances.

She seemed to be very familiar with the shopkeeper, nodded slightly to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly walked over and greeted softly.

"A Zheng, you are here. Just the second table next to the window in the southeast corner. The four of you have been waiting for you for a while. The master is the Saburo of the He family in Guangyuan, so be careful."
