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.
