Chapter 1389: Chapter 1211: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao did not dare to take it lightly as she earnestly received the small bag of silver pieces and placed it into the small cloth bag she was carrying. Then, she hugged Nan Feng and buried her face in the nape of her neck, imitating the tender manner of her older brother usually,"Mother, Abao knows how to protect herself. I’m not a little child, right? Besides, isn’t there Xiao’ai? Didn’t you say that although he is young, he seems experienced and profound? He will definitely protect me, right? Also, we both know Martial Arts, even if we encounter Jianghu experts we won’t be afraid!"

Nan Feng touched Xia Dabao’s head, her eyes glistening with tears as she said,"You child! Look at how much I’ve said, if you were even a bit impatient, I definitely wouldn’t have let you go, yet you take such good care of your mother and even comfort me in return. How can I not let such a sensible child go?"

...

The next morning, Xia Dabao and Long Aixi set off early.

Her older brother personally took them to the county town, and from there, they hired a horse carriage to go to the Provincial City pier to catch a boat.

Her brother didn’t give as many admonishments as Nan Feng and didn’t say much throughout the process, only ensuring Xia Dabao boarded the horse carriage.

Xia Dabao only brought a very small bundle with her that contained hard-boiled eggs and a few pieces of clothing prepared for her by Nan Feng.

The journey was long, so they tried not to let Xia Dabao carry too much, after all, once they arrived at the Dragon Fang Group, Long San and the others would certainly not mistreat Xia Dabao since the money earned from Nan Feng’s Spikenard Square was always collected by Long San.

Therefore, if there was anything needed later on, Lu Jianxi would definitely help Xia Dabao to acquire it.

After her brother helped Xia Dabao onto the horse carriage, he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he sat on his own flatbed horse carriage, watching until Xia Dabao’s carriage was out of sight before he turned to go back.

That feeling was something Xia Dabao could deeply relate to.

Now, as the horse carriage moved further and further away, distancing her from her parents and Axian, Xia Dabao just felt an emptiness in her heart and remained quiet the entire trip.

Knowing that she was loath to leave her parents, Long Aixi also remained silent, content to quietly stay by her side.

It wasn’t until the horse carriage reached the Provincial City wharf and Xia Dabao saw the sea of people that she gradually began to feel excited.

Long Aixi told Xia Dabao to wait in place, as he went to inquire which boat was headed to Fuzhou.

Xia Dabao waited, watching as Long Aixi went from one boat to the next in his white clothes, asking questions.

He appeared very patient and politely, his natural air of nobility standing out among the crowd of people from all over, seeming very conspicuous.

Just like the young master in the painting.

For some reason, Xia Dabao remembered the scene at the creek when he had carried her.

Now, just like then, she felt very safe, Long Aixi was that kind of person who thought of others at every turn... a little boy, perhaps.

After making the rounds, Long Aixi quickly returned, took the bundle from Xia Dabao’s shoulder, smiled and said,"Let’s go, Dabao, I’ve found the boat. The ticket isn’t expensive, only thirty coins per person."

"Thirty coins? Good... ah," Xia Dabao had never been on a boat before. But was ten coins really not expensive?

A string of candied hawthorns only cost two coins.

With thirty coins, one could buy a lot of candied hawthorns.

Seeing her reaction, Long Aixi laughed and said,"I’ve already paid the boat fare."

"Then shall I give the fare back to you later?" asked Xia Dabao.
