Chapter 5: Bad News

At this moment, all relatives, children, and all the consequences were thrown behind her. She had only one thought, whether it was heaven or hell, she would follow.

"Pillar, pillar!"

The little maid threw herself to the side of the boat with a flashing effort, and when she wanted to hold on to it again, a big wave hit, the hull of the boat shook so hard that her head hit the door frame heavily.

The black-clothed leader didn't feel good when he saw this, and he pounced on it. Dong Rongxu was really mad, not only did not dodge, but directly grabbed him and wanted to jump into the sea together.

The black-clothed warrant was shocked, and he finally grabbed the railing to save himself during the struggle, but he could only watch Dong Rong fall into the dark sea.

The little girl finally stumbled over at this time, and tried her best to pull the black-clothed leader up, but she didn't expect to be slapped five or six times on the face, "Useless things, don't hurry up and light the torch and find someone for me!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The little maid also knew that she had caused a big disaster, so she hurriedly ran to call someone. It was already extremely dark on a rainy night, and the waves were so turbulent, how could a person who fell into it be so easy to find?

A group of black-clothed people lit the torches, but they were extinguished by the heavy rain in a moment, and they forced the boatmen to jump into the sea to search, but not only did they not catch Dong Rong, but the two descendants who went to the sea also lost their shadows, I don't know whether they escaped or were swallowed by the sea.

The black-clothed leader was furious, scolded everyone fiercely, and waited in the cabin to wipe the rain on his face indiscriminately, while carefully thinking for a long time, and finally decided to find Taoyuan Island to fight again. Now it seems that he has only completed half of the task assigned by the Lord, and if he can get a large sum of gold and silver from Taoyuan Island, he will be more or less guilty, and he may not be thrown into the pit of ten thousand snakes by the Lord to feed the poisonous snakes.

As for the lack of gold and silver on Taoyuan Island, this was never within the scope of his worries. Because in the whole of Daqi, even five-year-old children know a ballad, "There is Baoshan overseas, and the name is Taoyuan." Silver paves the road, and gold and stone build high-rise buildings. ”

On that island, there lived the king of Daqi Yipin and Mrs. Dong, who was known as the God of Wealth, how could there be no gold and silver?

"Tell me to go down, go at full speed, and go to the island early while Taoyuan Island has not yet received news. Otherwise, the Lord will blame you, and all of us will not want to live. ”

"Yes, Chief."

The people in black are not stupid, although the king of Zhongshan and his wife both fell into the sea, especially the king of Zhongshan has been stabbed in the left chest, but they did not catch the bodies of the two after all, in case of an accident in the future, they will definitely not have good fruit to eat. Therefore, it is now inevitable to go to the island to get more gold and silver and go back to atone for sins.

The tall building boat slowly sailed to the depths of the ocean on a rainy night, and when it was dawn, the wind and rain stopped, and a round of red sun quietly jumped out, shining on the endless sea red.

The black-clothed leader stood high on the mast and looked at it for a long time, and after jumping off, he coldly asked the old boatman who was caught, "Ahead is the Misty Sea?" ”

The old boatman seemed to be frightened, and trembled and replied, "If you go back to the master, this is the sea of fog." As long as you pass through this sea of mist, it is... It's Taoyuan Island. ”

The black-clothed leader narrowed his eyes slightly, as if judging whether the old boatman's words were credible, and finally scolded sharply, "If you take us to the island, I will let you live." If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for chopping you alive and throwing you into the sea to feed the fish. ”

The old boatman was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowing and begging, "The old man spares his life, the old man doesn't dare, the old man still has an old wife and a paralyzed son at home, and they all count on the old man to live." ”

When the black-clothed leader heard this, he was a little relieved, and finally even helped the old man up with his own hands and comforted, "Don't be afraid, as long as you take us to the island, I will not only kill you, but also reward you with a sum of silver, which is enough for you to feed your family." ”

"Thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward."

The old boatmen faded down with a thousand thanks, and shouted to the young boatmen with resentful expressions to quickly put away their sails and prepare to enter the misty sea. No one noticed the hatred in the eyes of the busy old man...

The fog in the misty sea has become thicker and thicker over the years, and the boat is in it, not to mention wanting to see the scenery on the sea, even if the two of them stand five feet away and can't see each other's appearances, it all depends on the daily experience of the boatmen to guide the way.

A group of people in black had never seen such a strange scene, they were all curious and frightened, and they subconsciously gathered in one place. The black-clothed leader always felt that something was wrong, and was about to order his men to disperse and take care of the boatmen. I didn't want the bow of the ship to crash into something, and there was a loud bang, and the hull of the ship shook violently, so that everyone almost fell to the ground.

The black-clothed leader was shocked and shouted, "Go and catch the boatmen, they must have done it!" ”

The men in black had to smash down the deck against the railing, and it was the annoyance of the pain, and they listened to the order, and immediately groped for trouble with the boatmen.

It's a pity that the whole big ship, not to mention the boatmen, even the dozen or so maids and servants who were locked in the bilge ran away without a trace.

When everyone was frightened, they heard someone shouting in the depths of the white mist, "Listen to the dog!" We don't know which demon sent you are lackeys to kill our lord and master, and we can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood! Although we cannot defeat you, we will not be able to kill you today. But our second master is still there, and our four little masters are here! They will definitely avenge the prince and the mistress! You wait..."

The black-clothed leader was so angry that he blew up his lungs, he had listened to orders under the Lord for many years, and he had never missed a mission. Unexpectedly, this trip to the South China Sea made mistakes one after another, and today it was calculated by a group of shipwrights. This breath, how can he swallow it.

He didn't care about giving the order, so he drew the crossbow @ arrow from his waist and shot it at the place where the sound came. Unfortunately, the boatmen were not fools and escaped early in a small boat. In the white mist, except for the slight dingdong sound of crossbows @ arrows falling into the sea, there was no sound again.

The black-clothed leader was furious, and at this moment, a man in black ran up in panic and shouted, "Chief, what should I do?" The bilge seems to be leaking, and it must be plugged quickly, otherwise the big ship will sink! ”

The man in black stomped his feet hard, although he didn't want to admit it, but there was no other way but to return in vain.

"Everyone is divided into two groups, one group is in charge of the boat, and one group goes to the bilge to block the water, if anyone dares to slack off, they will be killed!"

"Yes!" At the moment when life is at stake, no one dares to slack off, and everyone is as busy as ants before the rain.

Not to mention how the black-clothed people had a headache to get out of the fog and return to land, but only that the boatmen took turns rowing two small boats, and after a day and a night's effort, they finally returned to Taoyuan Island in the evening of the second day.

The red horse boat, which had been cruising in the harbor, greeted him, and when the captain saw the red flag raised high in the small boat, his face could not help but change greatly, and he shouted a voice to approach.

Soon more than 30 boatmen and maids and servants were rescued on the Red Horse Boat, and before the captain could ask questions, the old boatman had already spoken, "Go back to the port, I want to see a few old men!" ”

The captain stepped forward to help the old boatman and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" What about the prince and his wife, didn't you go out with Wang Zhou? ”

"Don't ask so much, keep your mouth shut, and send us back quickly." The old boatman struggled to stand up, turned around and commanded the boatmen and servants sharply, "Along the way, I have explained the truth to you, you should know what to do, and you must not betray the master." ”

All of them quickly bit their lips in unison and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, the captain of the red horse boat also guessed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the big ship to return to the port, and then personally locked the boatmen and maids into two spacious cabins. The old shipwright took the key, and then let the captain carry him to the stone fort.

Ten years have passed in a hurry, and the stone fort that was originally surrounded by a circle has long since changed. Nowadays, there are more stone houses, and even two-story stone buildings have been built around them, which are used for observation and protection on weekdays, which is extremely convenient.

Dong Rong's family still lives in the big courtyard in the middle of the stone castle, the old couple of the Cao family live in the cross-courtyard in the east, and the Wang family lives in Aunt Cao's family. But now even Wang Lu and Du Juan are going to be grandparents, and Shi is the chief steward of the commercial house, and he has taken his wife and children to take root outside.

Not to mention, Zhang Yang and Second Sister Cao are two children, and they almost can't come back once a year. Fortunately, every young couple knows that the father and mother are afraid of loneliness, so they leave a child for the old man to take care of, which can barely be regarded as relieving their loneliness.

However, now that Qi Gardi has returned to the grassland, Qi Ge'er, Ming Ge'er and Chenxi have also gone to the shore to play. This stone castle was really empty and quiet for a while, which provoked Aunt Cao and Mrs. Cao to talk endlessly. Old man Cao, Uncle Wang, Master Dong, and Mr. Yang, who came to the island to support his old age after his wife died and became a widower last year, shouted that he couldn't stand it, so he made an appointment to go to the small pavilion outside the village to play chess, drink and gossip.

The four old men were laughing and laughing, and suddenly saw Chen Haili, who was in charge of patrolling the harbor, running from afar with Boss Chen running on his back, and they were all a little surprised, so they put down the chess pieces and wine glasses in their hands and asked, "What's wrong?" Why does Brother Chen look like this, but where is it uncomfortable? Mr. Feng has traveled all over the world, but the breeze is still on the island..."

However, Mr. Yang had been in the court in his early years, and he had taught and educated people all his life, and his eyesight was much better than that of the other three. He frowned and asked, "But something big happened, didn't Brother Chen go to Haining with the prince?" ”

Old Man Chen was already in front of him at this time, he struggled to get off the grandson of the clan and knelt on the ground, and cried in a low voice, "A few old brothers, it's not good." Something happened to the prince and princess! ”

When the four old men heard this, they all gasped, and they were so anxious that they stepped forward and grabbed his arm and asked in a loud voice, "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!" ”

Old Man Chen wiped a handful of tears, and didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said, "The evening before yesterday, a little maid who was waiting next to Madame took advantage of the unpreparedness and took out a dagger and held Madame hostage. Then out of nowhere, a lot of people in black appeared, and the threat of Mrs. Yong's life forced the prince to commit suicide and jump into the sea, and Mrs. then jumped down. Those men in black still had to come to the island, and they were hit by our boat on the reef in the Misty Sea, and then escaped back with them in small boats. Now that the princess and princess don't know whether they are alive or dead, how can this be good? It's all because my old man has no ability to protect the lives of the prince and princess..."R638
