“Master.” Xiao Yang came back and called out to Li Xiao with a questioning look in his eyes.
Li Xiao glanced at Xiao Yang and nodded.
Only then did Xiao Yang and Head Fang’s expressions relax a little.
“Next, we’ll do as Manager Liang says. We should be able to arrive at Xiangshui Town smoothly on the Liang Trading Company’s merchant ship.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
After arriving at Xiangshui Town, they would have covered nearly 70% of the journey.
There wasn’t much distance left.
Xiao Yang and Head Fang nodded.
Because it was against the current, it took a longer time to go to Xiangshui Town by boat than by land.
However, the advantage was that it was more convenient and more relaxing.
After that, they would rest for five days. Only then would they have the energy to continue.
“Go back and rest. Be quiet for the next few days. Don’t go out of the room unless necessary.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Yes, Miss!” Only then did the two of them leave.
After the door was closed, Li Xiao held Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Thank you for your hard work.” He said gently.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and leaned into Li Xiao’s arms.
“No need to thank me. We’re husband and wife, and your responsibility is mine.”
“Besides, I’m still waiting for the Nangong Army to come back to work for me.”
Li Xiao was amused and looked down at his wife.
Then, he kissed Lin Xiaoyue on the forehead.
The small room was filled with warmth.
After a while, the sound of sailing came from outside.
The merchant ship swayed a few times before slowly leaving the dock.
Then, the noise on the dock slowly disappeared, and the room quickly quieted down.
At first, Lin Xiaoyue was still in Li Xiao’s arms and chatting with him.
However, after two hours, she was a little bored.
Feeling the urge to pee, Lin Xiaoyue finally decided to go out of the room to the toilet and get some fresh air.
Li Xiao suggested that they go together.
Hence, the couple left the room together.
In the next room, Xiao Yang and Head Fang stared at each other.
Hearing the commotion next door, they looked at each other and rushed to the door.
Xiao Yang opened the door and met Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes.
Lin Xiaoyue felt a little awkward as if she had been caught.
“Hey!” Then, she waved at the two of them.
“Ahem, we’ve already left Qingshi Town’s dock for quite some time. Now that the merchant ship is in the Chang River, it should be… no one can see us.”
“So, if you feel bored, you can come out and get some fresh air.”
“Let’s keep our voices down so that we don’t attract the attention of the people on the first floor.”
She was the one who told everyone not to leave the room.
In such a small room, even half a day would be suffocating, let alone five days.
Xiao Yang’s face lit up.
“Hehe, you’re right!”
After saying that, he quickly rushed out of the room.
Then, he stretched his body and limbs.
He and Head Fang stayed in a room that was even smaller than theirs.
After staying in there for so long, he felt as if his limbs were being imprisoned.
Head Fang also followed Xiao Yang out of the room.
Although he didn’t stretch his limbs like Xiao Yang, he still moved his joints.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled at the two of them in embarrassment again and asked Li Xiao to take her to the toilet.
The toilet was on the first floor of the cabin. It was not sage for her to go there alone.
When they reached the first floor, the door of the toilet was open, and there was no one inside.
Li Xiao stood guard and let Lin Xiaoyue go first.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue enter and close the door.
It was actually a hole that was dug and directly discharged into the river.
Seeing the rapid flow of the river at the bottom, Lin Xiaoyue did not dare to look any longer and quickly solved her physiological needs.
After leaving the toilet, Li Xiao sent Lin Xiaoyue to the second floor.
Then, he went downstairs again to go to the toilet.
At this moment, Xiao Yang and Head Fang were standing by the railing.
The wind blew on their faces, and they looked relaxed.
Lin Xiaoyue walked towards the two of them.
“The winter wind is too cold. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
It had snowed twice or thrice since winter arrived. The weather was getting colder and colder.
The weather would get even colder as they headed towards the border.
She thought of what Li Xiao had told her before. It was bitterly cold at the border, and it would usually snow before winter.
In winter, it would snow heavily, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
The two of them turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Don’t worry. 1 was at the border, and the wind was much colder than this.”
“Many people’s faces were frozen and cracked..”
