Chapter 127: Taking advantage of the chaos
"Wang Da. The other guards came up and said with anxious faces, "How is this situation good?"
"What else can I do?" Wang Da struck the horsewhip in his hand to the ground, and said angrily, "Don't you see a boatman there? ”
"That's a lot of trouble. "The river is so wide that it will take many hours to pass it all." ”
"There's no way around it. "Wang Dao," go and tell them, first untie the shackles of the slaves. ”
Two of the servants were in a flail, but about ten were connected by a rope. The boat could only cross three or four people at a time, and there was no way to cross it without untying it first.
"Are they all unraveled?" said the man, "There are so many people, are you sure it doesn't matter?"
"What can happen?" Wang Dadao: "All of them are almost starved into corpses, can they still get up and turn the sky up?"
"That being said, what about the carriage and the shackles?"
The shackles of so many people, the ships are so small, I am afraid that if they are all put on it, they will be crushed and sunk immediately, and the carriage is even more problematic.
"It's not like this hasn't happened before. Wang Daodao: "Tie them all together and tie them with long ropes, and then the first person to pass by will take one end of the rope to the other side, and look at those slaves who still have strength, and let them pull the shackles together." As for the carriage ......"
He thought for a while and said: "Find a few people to rush to the nearest town to sell it, and buy it in the next town, the Su family is in a hurry, but they can't wait." ”
The man smiled and said, "Sure enough, you are still Wang Da, you are well-informed and pay a lot of attention." I'll arrange it. ”
After that, the slaves were temporarily freed, but although the shackles were unfastened, no one could be happy, because almost everyone was so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
The servants were lined up, and after the king and the boatman had negotiated, they arranged to get on the boat and ferry to the other side in four or four.
"Each one of them gave me some spirits. Seeing that the servants were lying on their stomachs and could barely move, the king said angrily, "It's just that I haven't eaten a few meals, don't be like a mourner." ”
When Yin Nuan and Wang Tianyin arrived, Wang Da was even more annoyed. Because the two of them almost didn't even have the strength to stand, they collapsed on the deck as soon as they got on the boat.
"Other people eat as much as you two, why are you two squeamish like a. Wang Qianyin had just gotten on the boat, and Yin Nuan followed behind. Wang Da said as he kicked him into the boat.
Yin Nuan was caught off guard and rushed to the boat, Wang Tianyin hurriedly reached out to catch him, but he didn't have the strength, and the two of them rolled into a ball on the boat.
"Brother Yin. Wang Qianyin asked anxiously. "How are you, are you okay? Can you hold on?"
But there was also a little strange in his heart, the reason why he was so hungry was because he gave some of his already pitiful Bo cakes to Yin Nuan, but why Yin Nuan was the same as him, and even looked weaker?
"It's fine. Yin Nuan got up and sat down, "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”
The boatman was very skilled, and although the water was wide and turbulent, he also reached the opposite shore without danger.
"Brother Yin, come!" Wang Tianyin got off the boat first, and then helped Yin Nuan ashore.
The two of them had just stood still. Suddenly, I saw a small boat swinging down upstream, and there was a man sitting on it, covered in blood, and looking very wolf-like, and when he saw many people here, he crawled on the side of the boat and shouted:
"The water thieves are coming! The water thieves are coming!
The boat was going down the river, and the castration was extremely urgent, and before everyone could react, it had already swung into the distance, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Just ...... Did you hear anything just now?" Someone stammered and asked.
As if a word woke up the person in the dream, everyone suddenly reacted.
"The water thieves are coming, run!"
Everyone was running or screaming, and the scene was chaotic for a while. No matter how threatening the guards are, they can't be stable, and they are all used to being upside down, and most of them know the horrors of water thieves.
"Yin, Yin, brother. Wang Qianyin was also a little flustered, and wanted to run with everyone, but because of his lack of body, he subconsciously wanted to see what Yin Nuan's current situation was.
"Brother Wang!" Yin Nuan called. Then he walked to Wang Tianyin's side and quietly handed the things in his arms to him.
"This, this is?" Wang Qianyin looked at the thing in his hand with a shocked face, and then suddenly reacted, and hurriedly put it in his arms and hid it.
But he said that the water slave also followed to the other side. In the past few days, because of the large number of people, she has been tied up and almost unable to move, so she has not seen Yin Nuan's figure.
I had doubts before, maybe it was really my own heart, and then the clues she had heard over the years had made her almost sure that the slave who was picked up halfway like him was Yin Nuan.
It wasn't until she crossed the river just now, when she was waiting for the people on the other side to pass by, that she finally saw Yin Nuan's figure. Pale and emaciated, the description is bleak, but after a few days of not seeing him, he has almost changed his appearance. Although I was distressed, at that moment, the restless heart that had been hanging finally fell to the ground.
It's just that she didn't have the idea to go to Yin Nuan's side yet, and then there was chaos. But it's also just right, so it's easier to take advantage of the opportunity and don't have to think of other ways.
However, when the crowd panics, how can it be so easy to control? It is the one who is so hungry that he can't walk, and he can't lift up some strength to escape for his life in the face of life and death. However, in a moment, the crowd in front of the water slave was noisy, and soon the figure that was hard to see was gone.
It's just that this is not the time to panic, looking around for a moment, the water slave already has a little bit of a plan in his heart.
Sure enough, after about a stick of incense, the water bandits upstream still did not move, and the crowd gradually settled down, although it was a good opportunity to escape, everyone had already exhausted their strength, and they couldn't move a little more. The guards quickly caught up and brought the man back in little by little.
The water slave hid behind a boulder and took out some bits and pieces of dry food from her bosom, which she collected little by little on weekdays. Because the dry food given by the guards is to eat every meal, at most it ensures that people can't die, and they can't make people have the slightest strength to escape.
Therefore, she kept a little bit of each meal and secretly hid it, so that she could eat it together in case she could, so that she could have more strength to run.
And at this time, this is this rare opportunity, the water slave never thought of going back, because even if it is Yin Nuan, such a rare opportunity, he will definitely not let it go. It's a big deal, if he doesn't leave, he will come back again.
But said that Yin Nuan's side, he and Wang Tianyin also took advantage of the chaos to escape, although they were getting more and more unable to raise their strength, but the two of them persevered all the way, hiding those dry food in their arms seemed to hide a hope, as long as they found a safe place to eat, they would get the body and continue to escape. (To be continued.) )
