Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Zhou Huai stopped beside Zhou Yi, his eyes also fixed on the carriage that had already gone away, and said in a gentle voice: "It's too early to say that we have won now."

Zhou Yi turned around abruptly and glared at Zhou Huai: "You heard it just now. Miss Song said in person that she would come to the city the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Huai turned around and looked at her, his eyes indifferent: "Then wait until she comes and then we can talk about winning or losing."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Huai turned and left.

"Zhou Huai! You don't keep your word. You are a scoundrel. Miss Song has just promised to come to the city. If you don't give me the BMW now, how can I ride it on the street the next day?" Zhou Yi was so angry that he jumped on the spot. Looking at Zhou Huai's disappearing figure, he took a deep breath and said, "Go home to find my father!"

-

After arriving home, Song Shiwei still didn't know that Zhou Yi was gambling with her. At this moment, she was sitting in the main room, drinking tea and talking about the Moon Viewing Festival with Zhang Wu.

Thinking of what Zhou Yi said in the teahouse, Song Shi smiled and said, "Let's go into the city later the day after tomorrow, so that I can see what a spectacle this red moon is."

As Song Shiwei spoke, there was a smile on her lips and her eyes were shining.

Zhang Wu's smile widened upon seeing this: "I will definitely not let the master down. Even I am yearning for what Master Zhou said. I just don't know if Master Zhou is exaggerating."

"It shouldn't be. At least the red moon can't be fake. Didn't Zhou Yi say that there are flower boats on Fucheng River at night? We can rent one then, drink wine on the boat and look up at the moon. Isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Wu nodded immediately and said: "I will go to the city tomorrow to inquire about renting a boat."

"By the way, buy some more lanterns and hang them on the boat. It will be a beautiful sight when night falls."

"Yes, I will buy more."

Early the next morning, Zhang Wu went into the city to inquire about the flower boat. His mind was filled with thoughts about how his master was rarely interested in the Moon-Watching Festival. No matter how much it cost, he must rent a flower boat today and buy lots of lanterns so as not to spoil his master's fun.

Tomorrow is the Moon-Watching Festival, and all the flower boats in the city have been reserved by the aristocratic families. When Zhang Wu went to ask, there was not a single flower boat available. In order to make Song Shiwei happy, Zhang Wu directly offered five times the price, and the owner of the boat company risked offending others and moved a boat out for Zhang Wu.

"Little brother, the boat I'm moving is the flower boat that Miss Li has reserved. If you run into it, please don't tell anyone about me."

Zhang Wu was in a very good mood after successfully renting the flower boat. He nodded immediately after hearing the boss' words: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not sell you out. Does your store have any other beautiful flower lanterns?"

The boat owner nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we don't have much else here, but we have plenty of lanterns. We also made a lot of new styles some time ago. Come with me to choose."

Knowing his master's temperament, Zhang Wu did not choose those fancy lanterns. In the end, he bought ten lotus-shaped lanterns with light colors, as bright as the moon.

Compared with those bright and colorful lights, Zhang Wu felt that his master preferred the clear light color of lotus, just like his master himself, with a clear and cold temperament, often giving people a feeling of ice and snow on the top of a mountain.

After finishing the flower boat business, Zhang Wu carefully put away the flower boat license plate and then drove back to Damao Village.

On the day of the Full Moon Festival, the master and servant practiced sword and knife skills in the yard in the morning. In the afternoon, it was too hot and they stayed in the house to cool off. They set out only after dinner.

All the way to the provincial capital, Zhang Wu parked the carriage in front of the boat company's door. After getting off the carriage, he went to the restaurant next door to buy some cold dishes and good wine. Then he went into the boat company with Song Shiwei to get the boat.

The boat line was built on the Fucheng River. It was still early when the two arrived. As soon as they entered the boat line, they were attracted by the flower boats of all sizes hanging with various lanterns. Each flower boat was carefully decorated, and the boat awnings were wrapped with exquisite citrus flowers. Among the dozen or so flower boats, Song Shiwei noticed the one that only hung lotus lanterns.

Zhang Wu handed the card to the boatman, pointed to the flower boat not far away and said, "Master, that is the flower boat I rented, and the flower lanterns were specially selected by me. Are you satisfied?"

"You are thoughtful. It looks pretty." After giving Zhang Wu a satisfied look, Song Shiwei slowly walked onto the flower boat.

The cool light of the lotus flower shone on Song Shiwei's delicate and flawless face, and everyone on the boat was stunned.

Zhang Wu frowned and coughed. After seeing that everyone had withdrawn their gazes, he stepped onto the flower boat, placed the cold dishes and wine he had bought on the low table, then picked up the wooden paddle and began to row.

As soon as you enter the water, you will reach Fucheng River. The water flows gently, pushing the flower boat downstream.

Song Shiwei sat down cross-legged and waved to Zhang Wu: "Just let it swim slowly. Wherever it swims to is fine. Come sit down and have a drink with me."

Zhang Wu took the opportunity to sit down slightly below Song Shi, raised his glass with both hands to receive the wine, then clinked glasses with him and drank it amidst the brilliant atmosphere around him.

Zhang Wu suddenly smiled, thinking of something: "When I entered the city just now, I seemed to see Mr. Zhou's men in the crowd. Mr. Zhou is probably looking for his master everywhere in the city now."

Song Shiwei thought of Zhou Yi's firecracker-like temper, and his eyebrows curved: "He probably didn't expect that we are on the boat now, so let them look for it slowly. Zhou Yi is a bit noisy in such a good time."

Just as the two said, as soon as Zhou Yi received the news from Liu Cheng, he immediately took people to the streets to look for Song Shiwei. The group almost searched the whole city, but no one had seen Song Shiwei. At this moment, Zhou Yi was standing by the river in the city, sulking.

Suddenly seeing a flower boat coming in the river, Zhou Yi snorted and laughed: "Whose flower boat is that? You come out to show off at this hour, as if you are afraid that others don't know you are on a flower boat. It's really conspicuous."

Liu Cheng and others were standing behind Zhou Yi. They looked at each other and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

The moon was not yet up, and the master and servant were sitting in the boat awning and had not come out. Therefore, Zhou Yi, who was standing by the river, did not know who was on the boat. Song Shiwei was concentrating on drinking and eating, and also did not notice where Zhou Yi was.

There was a noise behind him. Zhou Yi turned around and saw his elder brother coming over like a star surrounded by stars. He immediately said unhappily, "Don't you usually stay at home during the Moon Watching Festival? Why are you out now?"

Zhou Huai's expression did not change. He put his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the flower boat that was about to float away, and smiled faintly: "Of course I came out to inspect the results. How is it?"

"Uncle Liu just saw Miss Song enter the city with his own eyes, but she has not been found yet."

Liu Cheng nodded repeatedly at Zhou Huai's gaze: "I did see it with my own eyes."

"In that case, you can take the horse back home."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed again: "But I haven't found Miss Song and Brother Zhang Wu yet. I had agreed to take them to visit the city."

Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows: "Why do I remember you said that we would talk about it if we were destined to meet, and if we didn't meet, then it was not fate. If you don't go back and take the horse away, I believe father will be very happy."

Zhou Yi's face changed drastically. Thinking of the way his father looked at BMW, he was suddenly startled and turned around and ran away quickly without looking back.
