Chapter 367 - 214 Joke_1
The boatwoman’s vegetarian dishes were mediocre at best, leaving both Half Old Immortal and Little Monk with no appetite after the first meal. Qian Yixiu then had Lady Wei cook for her, taking charge of the three meals a day for herself and the Monks.
The days on the boat were comfortable, although the weather was mostly overcast and rainy.
With nothing to do, Qian Yixiu played Gomoku with Little Monk or teased Monkey Brother and Benben. When Little Monk joined Old Monk in reciting scriptures, she would lean on the windowsill to enjoy the view. She watched the fine rain threads merge into the water and the misty mountains in the drizzle.
The boat they were on was equivalent to a speedboat of her past life, moving faster than the others. On the second day since entering the Green Spring River, as their "speedboat" slowly caught up with a big boat ahead, Monkey Brother suddenly sniffed and leaped onto a small table, squeezing next to the window and pointed excitedly at the ship.
There was someone on that boat that Monkey Brother recognized! Qian Yixiu widened her eyes and looked toward the ship.
As the "speedboat" caught up and passed the boat, she finally saw him. It turns out that the deadbeat dad was on that boat, also looking out of the window at that moment.
What was he doing in Ji’an? Qian Yixiu had never thought he would go home. The war ended six years ago; if he wanted to return, he would have done so already.
Seeing him, Qian Yixiu’s mood sank again.
At mealtime, Qian Yixiu asked Half Old Immortal, seemingly offhandedly, "Master, why do you think people change? They used to be so good, and then, after a few years apart, they’ve become unrecognizable."
