18. Escape
On the second day, Qin Si'an took Ah Wu to walk around the city, and by the way, he inquired about the situation, and the rumors outside were even more terrifying than what Steward Li described. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI heard that a while ago, the corpses of fishermen who lived on the water occasionally floated to the shore, and the corpses were horrific and horrific. I also heard that the gangsters who occupied the island were all hideous, fierce and vicious, like Yama who had come out of hell.
Although the county magistrate has made people expedite eight hundred miles, reported to the capital, and asked the emperor to shoot the army to exterminate them, but everyone is still very panicked, it is really terrible to be neighbors with the devil, who knows that one day the other party will come to raid their county. So some people chose to drag their families and move out of the place, but the vast majority of people chose to wait for help.
That night, the shopkeeper Song decided to leave by carriage, he felt that this was already a place of right and wrong, and it was better to leave early, but when he asked Qin Si'an, Qin Si'an thought about it and refused, she wanted to stay here to see the situation, so she proposed to let him go first.
Shopkeeper Song couldn't help but say anxiously, "How can I leave you here? It's too dangerous here, so you might as well come with me." ”
Qin Si'an smiled, "Don't worry, I just want to see the situation, I will hide far away, and I won't put myself in danger." ”
"No, come together, let's go together, otherwise how can I explain to your parents?" said Shopkeeper Song resolutely.
“.... Okay....." Thinking of her parents, thinking of their expressions when she was taken captive last time, Qin Si'an's heart that she originally wanted to stay faded, and it was better not to let them worry.
But something happened in the early morning of the next day, Qin Si'an woke up in a burst of gongs and drums and screams, she got dressed and opened the door, and met Ah Wu who was walking back from outside.
"What's wrong?" Qin Si'an asked with a yawn.
"The gangsters on the water, who have infiltrated the county seat, have now blocked the three city gates, and everyone is now trying to escape from the waterway. Ah Wu simply picked up the most important reply to the news he inquired about.
"Go and call Song Shopkeeper for them!" Qin Si'an's sleepy insect disappeared in an instant.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Song is already in the front yard, and I'm here to pick you up. Ah Wu followed Qin Si'an into the house, picked up the baggage she packed, and the two of them quickly went to the front yard.
"Is the waterway safe? There's their base camp there. Qin Si'an couldn't help but be a little worried.
"The other party blocked all the city gates, there are many people coming, there is only the waterway at present, I don't think there will be many people on the water, besides, escape or not, it can only depend on luck. Ah Wu frowned and said.
Waiting in the front yard, in addition to Steward Li, the shopkeeper Song also had 3 guys, and after Qin Si'an joined them, several people took a big carriage and quickly marched to the dock. The pedestrians on the road are very crowded, and everyone runs in a disorderly manner, some pushing carts with household goods, some sitting in ox carts, and more on foot.
"With so many people, how many ships can be enough?" The screams, shouts, cries, and curses on the street were endless, and Qin Si'an, who was watching, frowned.
"There are a total of seven large boats in our county, the number of small boats is unknown, the large boat can accommodate 50 people, and the small boat can accommodate 10 people. Steward Li replied.
The city gates were blocked, leaving only the waterway...... Is this a loophole, or is it deliberate? Qin Si'an didn't say anything all the way, holding his cheeks with both hands, if he did it on purpose, what was the purpose?
The dock was already crowded with people, everyone with their chests against their backs, squeezing forward one by one, and the shore was like dumplings, and from time to time someone was squeezed into the water. Qin Si'an and his entourage got out of the carriage, looked at the crowd in front of them, and frowned, how are they going to go?
"What can I do? Although I arranged for my guy to go over and buy a ticket early, in this case, I can't get on the boat even if I have a ticket. Steward Li said anxiously.
"Ah Wu. Qin Si'an called, and Ah Wu, who originally protected Qin Si'an in the middle, looked down at her.
Qin Si'an motioned for him to bend down, came over with his ear, and when he bent over, he whispered a few words in his ear.
"Be careful. Qin Si'an reminded.
Ah Wu nodded, looked at her deeply, and quickly walked towards the city.
She can't blindly follow the trend and go to the waterway, she must understand the confusion in her heart, Qin Si'an secretly made up her mind.
