Chapter 152
The boat meandered unpredictably across the rivers, making ancient long-distance travel unimaginably arduous.
Ran Yan had not often traveled by boat; after several days, she had grown accustomed to the drifting sensation on the vessel, and occasionally she went on deck to admire the stunning sceneries on both shores. Ran Meiyu's situation, on the other hand, was not so optimistic. Having grown up near waterways, she naturally faced no issues in boating—initially vibrant and lively, treating finding fault with Ran Yan as post-meal entertainment—yet after more than ten days, she was nearly lifeless.
Ran Yan also rarely got a quiet moment to herself, sitting on the deck and watching the scenery.
From Suzhou to Chang'an, it would take at least a month, and only half of the torment had passed. Even someone as patient as Ran Yan was nearing a breakdown, feeling the remaining ten-plus days stretch endlessly without an end in sight.
