Lin Heng was shocked when he heard this. She is worthy of being my daughter. The old immortal gave her such a precious thing.

But after his daughter said this, he seemed to have no reason to object.

"This, I..." Lin Heng was speechless.

Lin Ke was still daydreaming about her future plans, so she didn't notice her father's troubled expression.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his daughter, Lin Heng could only nod and agree.

After all, his daughter said that place was nice and wanted to live there, so how could he, a father who doted on his daughter, say no?

After convincing his father, everything became easy. Lin Ke then handed the task of convincing everyone to Lin Heng.

She took the two old ladies and her third aunt Li Douhua to Jiangshang Inn.

A new day begins!

Lin Ke took the two old ladies and Li Douhua on a tour of the ship to familiarize them with the environment.

She stared blankly at the heavy rain outside that never stopped.

Is this day missed?

It's been raining for several days and it hasn't stopped.

At this time, Chang Hong was standing on tiptoe, trying his best to steady his body, holding on to the wooden board in his hands, on which were his elderly parents.

He watched as the water in front of him rose above his wife's chin and reached above her lips, but there was nothing he could do.

He moved closer to his wife with great effort, stretched out his other hand, and pulled the wooden basin his wife was holding to his side. In the basin were his three young children.

At this moment, he only wished he had another hand so he could lift up his wife.

But he couldn't stretch out an extra hand, so he could only purse his pale lips and said to his wife with difficulty: "Mother, hold me up, stand on tiptoes, stand on tiptoes..."

When the old couple saw that their daughter-in-law was about to be drowned, they struggled to jump off the wooden board.

"Let us die. We two old men are a burden to you. Hong'er, don't worry about us. You should take care of Youniang and the children."

Suddenly, a feeling of sadness came over Chang Hong's heart.

Looking at his parents crying with their hands covering their faces, his children breathing more than they breathe in, and his wife who was about to collapse, Chang Hong thought, what is the point of holding on?

Anyway, no one came to rescue them, and as the water level slowly rose, they were all doomed to die.

In this case, what is the point of their persistence now?

Just when he was in despair, his wife beside him spoke.

"My dear, there seem to be boats over there. Lots of boats."

Chang Hong looked over as his wife spoke, and saw rows of small black boats approaching them.

Chang Hong felt that he must be dazzled, otherwise how could the ship be so fast?

And there are no oars.

But a few breaths later, a black ship appeared in front of them.

Someone up there asked them if they wanted to stay at the River Inn.

Chang Hong was a little confused. Jiangshang Inn? What kind of place was that?

Are these people here to rescue them?

He nodded blankly.

The next second, the man pulled his parents and three children onto the boat.

Before he could react, he and his wife were rescued onto the boat.

It was not until they were actually on the boat that Chang Hong was finally sure that they were rescued.

The whole family cried on the boat.

The man also took out a blanket to cover them, and also took out a bamboo tube of water and a multi-grain steamed bun for them to fill their stomachs.

I don’t know what the blanket was made of, but it felt softer than a baby’s skin.

The water tastes sweet and the multi-grain steamed buns taste even better than white flour steamed buns.

Just as he was pinching the steamed bun in his hand into small pieces and feeding them to the children, the man spoke again.

"Don't worry, eat these. These are all given to you on credit by Jiangshang Inn. Just pay the points back when the time comes."

Chang Hong's hand paused.

What exactly is Jiangshang Inn?

They are penniless now, when will they be able to pay back the debts they owe?

And what are the points?

But the man didn't care what he was thinking. After he finished speaking, he started the boat again.

Due to inertia, several people leaned back.

The man increased his speed a bit after they were seated firmly.

Soon they met another family.

Chang Hong helped rescue people after he recovered some strength.

The boat did not stop until there was no more room for everyone on it, and it sped straight towards the Luohan River.

Along the way, they met many similar small boats, and many people wearing ordinary clothes like them were steering the boats in front.

They seemed to be in a good mood and would chat with each other from time to time.

"How many people have you saved today?"

"I made two trips and saved more than 20 people."

"I also made two trips and saved more than 30 people, big and small."

"Then you have secured 50 points for today. If you keep working hard and save more than people, you will get a reward."

"Yes, this way we don't have to worry about housing and food."

"My wife helps in the kitchen and can earn 30 points a day."

"Yes, yes, yes. My boy caught a fish yesterday and exchanged it for ten points."

"The girl is simply a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. She gave us credit points and provided us with job opportunities, allowing us to live a decent life at the Jiangshang Inn."

"Yes, as long as you work hard, you will not starve to death, and you can also eat well and live well."

Chang Hong listened with longing on his face.

Can they live well if they go to Jiangshang Inn?

Could he pay back the food and water they had been given on credit?

Soon, they came under a super large ship.

There was a wide staircase on the outside of the boat, large enough for ten of them to walk side by side.

The man put them on the stairs and left. A young man was waiting for them downstairs.

The boy led them through the drizzle and warm sunshine until they finally reached the deck.

Before Chang Hong recovered from the miraculous experience, he saw two old men on the deck, sitting behind a long table and taking people's pulses one by one.

Chang Hong and his family were queuing at the back. When it was their turn, he anxiously picked up his three children.

The old man felt the pulse, stroked his goatee and said, "The children are fine, they are just very hungry and have a bit of a cold. They just need to drink some ginger and sugar water and some millet porridge to nourish their bodies."

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Soon they all finished taking each other's pulses, and the young man took them to a small house.

Another man explained to them the rules of staying at the Jiangshang Inn and the so-called points system.

After hearing this, Chang Hong suddenly understood.

So this is what they call points!

All consumption on the ship depends on points, and they can also get corresponding points by helping to rescue people and serving as assistants.

The ratio of points to silver is one point equals one copper coin.

Chang Hong looked at the job posting over there and decided that he could go with the rescue team to save people.

I may not know how to drive this boat, so I may need to practice first.

My wife has good embroidery skills, so we can bring the embroidery products to the inn and exchange them for points.

I can also do some sewing work.

With these jobs, the family had no problem living on the boat.
