Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 376 The Seasick Guard

Su Mu nodded indifferently: "Miss, you remember correctly, it is indeed twelve years."

"You're almost thirty, aren't you?" Yunyi glanced at him. "You're not getting any younger. Aren't you planning to find a wife?"

Su Mu was taken aback, probably not expecting Yun Yi to ask this: "This subordinate hadn't thought of that."

"Men should marry when they are of age, and women should marry when they are of age."

Su Mu remained silent.

“However, I see your face is flushed, which is a sign of good luck in love.” Yunyi smiled. “You might just meet a girl you like on the way.”

Su Mu's lips twitched.

“Although you don’t treat me like a master, if you really meet someone you like, I can help you. I believe my father won’t stop you from having a wife, children, and a warm bed.” After saying that, Yunyi went straight into a clothing store. “I only brought two sets of clothes with me, so I need to buy one to change into.”

Seeing that Su Mu was still in a daze, Yun Lu hurriedly tugged at him: "Guard Su, hurry up and catch up! My young lady wants to buy clothes, but she doesn't have any money."

Su Mu didn't know what expression to wear, but he still followed her inside.

Yunyi didn't ask for an exorbitant price. She picked out two sets of breathable and convenient summer clothes, which cost only six qian of silver. Then she picked out two pairs of embroidered shoes, which cost two qian of silver.

After paying the bill, Su Mu helped carry the things out the door, found a place to eat a bowl of noodles, bought some other food, and then returned to the dock.

"The young lady has returned just in time; we can board the ship soon." Fang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there cooking on the ship?" Yunyi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Fang Zhong nodded.

"Can I take a shower?"

"can."

Yunyi didn't say anything more, and boarded the boat with Yunlu's help. There was nothing she could do. In the eyes of Fang Zhong and the others, she was just an ordinary girl. Although she had survived, no one thought she could have changed much in the past year. Even if she encountered a master martial artist, she was too old to learn anything. It would be good enough if she could learn a horse stance or a bow stance.

Therefore, she needs to maintain her persona of being domineering, persistent, and delicate.

Shipbuilding technology was already quite advanced in this era. Although the ships were not very large, they looked very sturdy.

Because it is a long-distance voyage ship, its main purpose is to carry cargo, and only then can it carry people.

Of course, there are also smaller boats specifically for ferrying people, but they are more expensive. However, for long distances, everyone feels that larger boats are safer.

The ship offers three types of cabins: double, quadruple, and six-person cabins, with different prices for each.

Fang Zhong booked two cabins. One was a two-person cabin for Yun Yi and Yun Lu, and the other was a six-person cabin for him, Su Mu, and the others. There were eight of them, and two of them had already left in a carriage, so there were exactly six people left.

Meals are provided on board, and the price per person per meal is clearly stated. If you want to cook for yourself, you can do so by paying a small usage fee.

The meal included a package, costing twenty copper coins per person per meal. It included rice, steamed buns, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and hot soup, all provided free of charge.

Actually, this is not cheap for many people, so many people bring their own food. Some people will stop on the way to buy some ingredients and then borrow a stove to cook for themselves, since a stove only costs one copper coin per use.

This amount of money is nothing to them.

Because the boat departs at night, many people have already eaten dinner before boarding, so dinner is not provided that day.

This wasn't Yunyi's first time riding on this kind of ancient boat; she had even traveled back in time to work as a boatwoman. Therefore, she was quite familiar with its structure. Her questioning of Fang Zhong earlier was merely to highlight her unfamiliarity with it.

Yunyi doesn't get carsick, and Yunlu, after training, also doesn't get seasick. However, there are two people in the guards who do get seasick: Fang Xiao and Wu Qiusheng.

They didn't come by boat, so they don't know.

Fang Zhong was somewhat worried about this. He should have let the two of them drive the carriage back. They were seasick, and if anything happened, they would not only be of no help but might even become a burden.

The journey is too long. There are mountain bandits and road bandits on the road, and there are also water bandits on the water. If you encounter them, it will be even more terrible than encountering road bandits. After all, if you fall into the water, you may drown even without being killed by others.

The two men didn't dare go into the cabin, so they could only stand on the deck and enjoy the wind.

Fortunately, it's already the end of April. If we were to use the modern Gregorian calendar, it would be around the end of May or the beginning of June. The weather is already getting warm, and it's much more comfortable on the deck at night than in the cabin.

Unfortunately, the two were not so lucky. They didn't stay on the deck for long before they also started to feel dizzy and even vomit.

"What can we do?" Fang Zhong sighed. There was no doctor in this bed.

Yun Zi told Yun Yi.

Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked out.

"Young Miss." Fang Xiao and Wu Qiusheng had just finished vomiting and were leaning weakly against the railing when they saw Yun Yi coming over. They wanted to get up and greet her, but their legs felt weak.

"Sit down." Yunyi took out a bottle. "Luckily, I prepared seasickness medicine."

Wu Qiusheng hesitated for a moment, but Fang Xiao had already thanked him and taken the bottle, poured out a pill and put it directly into his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qiusheng hurriedly ate another one.

Yunyi smiled, turned around, and left.

Whether it was the medication or not, the two of them soon felt their discomfort disappear.

"Brother Xiao, why do you trust Miss Fang so much?" Wu Qiusheng asked Fang Xiao in a low voice.

"Why don't you believe me?" Fang Xiao turned around and glanced at the other person.

"After all, she was just found in the village, a village girl..."

"Hehe." Fang Xiao suddenly laughed, thinking of the miserable state of the monks in Bodhi Temple. "Even if she's a village girl, she wouldn't harm us, would she? So what's wrong with believing her?"

“You’re right,” Wu Qiusheng nodded. “However, Miss, this medicine is too effective. It works immediately. And I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but now I’m not only not dizzy anymore, I feel more energetic.”

Fang Xiao nodded, because he felt the same way, and even secretly clenched his fist, as if he had gained more strength. So, he got up and went outside the cabin: "Thank you, Miss."

"Hmm." Yunyi didn't come out, but only responded from inside, "It's good that it works."

"I'll be waiting outside. Just let me know if you need anything." Fang Xiao felt that this young lady was definitely not the kind of brainless person he had heard about before. This time when he returned, the Earl's mansion would probably be turned upside down. Even if he didn't pledge allegiance, he absolutely couldn't afford to offend her.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yunyi did not refuse.
