"Sanniang!"

Just after the New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve remains in the shack in the river corridor. A few red lanterns swayed, and a few cats wandered around the kitchen, staring at the fish in the wooden basin.

The manager took the booklet and ran to the steam-filled kitchen, shouting.

Hu Sanniang put down the fish and scraper in her hand, got up and wiped it on her apron, and walked to the manager with her shackles:

"What's the matter?"

The manager took the booklet, looked through a few pages, found Hu Sanniang's name, and drew a stroke on it:

"I'm going to go out to Sichuan to fight. I'm going to be in charge of a cook on the boat. The ordinary woman is afraid. Seeing that you are diligent and you were from the Qingzhou Army before, I'll give you this opportunity..."

"Why? Go there?"

Hu Sanniang wiped the water vapor on her forehead. In order not to prevent the men in the shack from paying attention, her face often felt black. This wipe made the skin color unbalanced.

The manager took out the key, squatted down and opened the shackles, shook his head and said:

"Stop to Jiangnan for a few days first, and then go to Bianjing. You are a little girl and honest. Don't think about running when you go to the boat. The handsome boat is full of the officials of the Black Feather Guard. If you can't run away, don't lose your life in vain. After the war, everyone on the boat will definitely be rewarded. If you are diligent in your hands and feet, you may be able to make some contributions. If you find a man to marry, you will be safe in your life..."

After loosening the shackles, Hu Sanniang took two steps and felt a little unsteady. She adapted to it before she recovered. She was covered with cotton cloth on her ankles and did not move around frequently, but there were still two marks, which might be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.

Looking at the snowy street outside, Hu Sanniang hesitated for a while and walked a few steps away. But soon, the Black Feather Guard passed by with his waist knife. After thinking about it, she stopped and packed up the few pieces of clothing in the shack next to her.

A moment later, a team of black feather guards stopped on the street, and there was a boatman pushing a cart behind him, with a pile of goods, soft couches, wine, snacks, pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones. It was obvious that they were prepared for the high-ranking officials.

The chief clerk of the Denkuis slowly walked to the edge of the shack, waited for a moment, and urged:

"Hurry up, what are you going to be slow?"

"Come here!"

The manager responded with a smile, and walked up to him with a few honest and strong men and Hu Sanniang, bowed to him and greeted him:

"Sir, these are all honest and diligent in their work, so don't worry."

The chief clerk of Diankui Si glanced a few times, nodded slightly, and walked towards the river bank with various objects.

Hu Sanniang followed the team, and there were a few women next to him, obviously also cooks. There were hundreds of people on a large ship, and there must be many people cooking. There were also a woman holding a five-year-old child. She was dressed quite gorgeously, and even the master spoke in a friendly manner. I think she was specially cooked for the high-ranking officials.

A team of dozens of people came to Fuhe Wharf. A gorgeous ship was docked on the shore, even the ropes were neatly arranged, and the Black Feather Guard stood on it meticulously.

The big ship was the one she saw when she was killing fish. It had sixty cannons on it, which were much larger than other cannon ships, with a big banner with the word "Cao" hanging on it.

She wanted to ask, but she didn't talk much for half a year, but she was a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and walked onto the boat, followed the anchor across the deck, and passed by the side of the boat building.

Looking sideways, there is a hall in the middle of the two-story boat building, with maps, sand tables and other objects inside, just like a study room, and Lifu moved the items inside the soft couch to the top, and even wiped the stairs spotlessly.

This place was obviously not something she could pass through. She followed the stairs on the deck and entered the cabin. Before the soldiers boarded the ship, they had only dense cannons arranged neatly on the guide rails, and there were all kinds of unrecognizable objects, which seemed to be controlling the cannons.

Hu Sanniang still remembers the power of the cannon. She secretly reached out to touch the thick cannon barrel while no one was paying attention. The tentacles were cold and smooth, and you could feel the heavyness.

After walking through the fifteenth cannon, there was another floor below, which was the same decoration. Lifu settled in the narrow cabin, and she and the three cooks followed the anchor to the kitchen at the end of the ship. There were several windows open at the rear of the ship, and the light was good, but it was inevitable that it was a bit narrow.

The chief clerk took the booklet and asked the three cooks to put down their things in the small cabin next to the kitchen, and then asked:

"New, what's your name?"

"Sanniang."

The chief clerk took notes, looked up and down a few times, and pointed to the small door open behind:

"When there is no one, you go and wash it. There are generals on it and the governor is on it. Although you cook for ordinary soldiers, you have to clean it."

"oh."

Hu Sanniang nodded slightly and walked into the small cabin with the package in her arms. The four of them lived in a crowded place, but they were more stuffy. She was used to sleeping with more than a dozen women in the shack, so she had no discomfort. She sat down in the corner, folded her dress neatly, and placed it as a pillow on the inside.

I walked out of the small door behind and looked at it. It was a small terrace with wooden barrels hanging next to it. It could be used to fetch water, with a ladder next to it, or you could go down to stand on a narrow pedal to clean things, because at the stern of the boat, right above is the large terrace protruding on the fixed floor of the boat building, just like the eaves.

Standing outside the small gate and swept around, there were dense ships parked on the shore, many Shu soldiers stood on the shore, with a figure on the high platform in the distance, talking to the soldiers.

The distance is too far and I can't hear it clearly, but in broad daylight, I will definitely not be able to jump into the water and escape.

Hu Sanniang returned to the house, looked around and packed it up in the kitchen.

In the afternoon, a sound came from the shore.

From the kitchen window, she saw a white-robed young man coming down from the carriage on the dock on the shore. It was Cao Taisui, and there were several carriages behind him. Many women came down from above, crying or reluctantly, saying goodbye to the white-robed young man.

Cao Taisui was a little unlucky, but everyone picked it up and turned around. One of the round and beautiful little women didn't even want to hide. Instead, a young lady with a bookish aura was more fierce. She seemed to curse, "Cao thief, you are arrogant, so many people." Cao Taisui was not angry either, and hugged the woman in the palace dress next to her, teased the little baby in the cradle, and then waved her hand to board the boat, with only two little maids following her.

Hu Sanniang looked at him blankly, and the thought that had been in trouble for a long time suddenly emerged again - nearly a hundred brothers died under the city wall, Liangshan, the court, and the Western Shu, there must be someone who has to pay for this blood debt. Maybe this is the opportunity given by God.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

The drum sounded from above.

Hu Sanniang looked up and looked at him a few times, but could not see anything. The boat shook a few times, and then slowly left the river bank.
