Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Night Terrors
In the evening, the sun sets, and the afterglow is like fire. The fiery red sunset reflected half of the sky and reflected in the clear river, as if the river was about to burn.
There was the sound of gurgling water in my ears, and the boat was moving faster because I had to rush to the next pier to stop the boat.
"It looks like I'm getting to Xinyuan Pier in the middle of the night." Linglong sat in the cabin and looked at the beautiful scenery outside and said, "You go and ask Thirty-Seven to see if you can stop and rest." ā
Because Sister Mei was too seasick at that time, Linglong asked people to drive the boat slower, but she didn't expect that the trip would be delayed now, but this night boat was not as good as the day.
This boat was rented by Linglong Thirty-seven, although it was said that the time to go to Beijing, but after all, it was such a fast boat now, and Sister Mei'er, who had just recovered her senses, began to feel uncomfortable again.
Linglong regretted it extremely at the moment, she should have chosen to take the dry road in the first place, so that Sister Mei would not have to toss so much.
Looking at her daughter lying on her hands uncomfortable, Linglong felt very uncomfortable.
After Laneige went out, he also brought Thirty-Seven over, "Gu Niangzi, this area is not very peaceful, so the boatman built yƬ Let's hurry up and pass through here, and when we get to Xinyuan Wharf, we will live there for a few more days, so that the girl can take care of it." What do you think? ā
It is said that there are water thieves in the capital, but fortunately, their boats have been hung with a passage sign to buy a pass for this waterway.
Presumably there should be nothing.
After listening to this, Linglong nodded, "Thank you for me, when you get to Xinyuan here, you can take some silver and invite them to drink." ā
Thirty-seven nodded, and was about to retreat.
The boat shook suddenly, and Linglong almost didn't sit still.
"What's going on?" These **** have adapted to the bumps on the river, but such a heavy shake obviously doesn't seem to be because of the wind and waves.
"I'll go check it out." Thirty-Seven frowned and walked towards the outside of the cabin, "Don't go out here, I'll send someone to guard here." ā
It's just that before he stepped out of the hatch, the mother-in-law outside hurriedly walked in.
She stepped forward and saluted Linglong. "Lady, there seems to be an accident ahead."
Thirty-seven chartered a civilian boat, which was originally to go with the official ship in front, but because of their slow speed. So they weren't together.
This mother-in-law's surname is Wei Zhishui, which was recommended to Linglong by Tong's mother before Linglong's departure.
And although this Wei's mother is not like Tong's mother, she is a delicate nurse. But it was the old man left by Linglong Niang back then, and she had to handle the contact with the outside world in the past few years, so she reacted faster than Mother Tong's mother to things outside.
"What's going on?" Linglong thought for a moment and stood up and walked towards the cabin.
It was already dark, and a layer of fog had risen on the river. It's quiet, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Gu Niangzi, I'll go and have a look." Thirty-seven frowned and turned to leave.
"Lady, go back." Laneige picked up the cloak and put it on Linglong's shoulders.
After a while, Zhao Sifan came over with Zhao Sicong, "Sister." I'll take a look, you and Cong'er go in and take care of Sister Mei'er. ā
Zhao Sifan, who was only fifteen years old, had a sternness and seriousness on his face that did not match his age. Linglong nodded, taking Zhao Sicong with her, "You be careful, if there is anything to discuss with Thirty-Seven." ā
As soon as Linglong's words fell, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, and the boat that had stopped moved again, and the hull of the boat swayed, a little flustered.
Could it be that you have encountered a water thief?
Linglong thought to herself.
Linglong thought in her heart, and couldn't help frowning and glancing at her daughter on the bed and Zhao Sicong beside her. "Laneige, close the door, I'll go out and have a look, no matter what happens, don't open the door. By the way, that Cai Pozi is also looking for someone to look at. ā
As soon as they walked out, they saw that the dart board players they invited had changed into black clothes, and the dart head saw Linglong come out and salute and said, "Gu Niangzi, please rest assured, since our dart board has taken this dart." I will definitely fight for my life to save it. Our executioners are well versed in water, and they will not suffer casually. ā
Linglong saw what he said, and she was relieved. Now they are grasshoppers tethered to a rope.
Moreover, this dart head used to be a retired head catcher, and he had caught river and ocean thieves, and he was very experienced in both water transportation and dry roads. They all know some about the kung fu of boating and sailing, and they will not be chaotic when things change.
The hull of the ship shook for a while and then stopped, and someone wanted to see the boarding, and the moment he stepped on the board, a knife silently struck up and slashed gently, and a stream of heat rushed out of his neck.
The smell of blood suddenly permeated.
There were a few plops, and it seemed to be the sound of someone entering the water.
ā¦ā¦
Linglong stood there for no idea how long, she just felt that time had never passed so slowly.
It's as if the smell of blood can't be dissipated.
"Sister." Zhao Sifan was dripping with water, threw the person in his hand on the ground, and "caught a live mouth." ā
He smiled at Linglong, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
Behind him, a few executioners who had just gone into the water were also soaking wet and walked over, and the leading dart head smiled and arched his hand to Linglong, "This younger brother of the lady is really good, if it weren't for him this time, we wouldn't have subdued people so smoothly." ā
was praised by him like this, Zhao Sifan became a little shy.
"What about thirty-seven?" Linglong asked.
"There was movement in the front cabin just now, and he took someone over." "I'll go check it out." ā
As soon as his words fell, he saw Thirty-Seven walking over with a sword, "Let the ancient lady be frightened." ā
"No trouble." Linglong shook her head, "What's the situation now?" ā
"The boat is fine, and it can continue to move." Thirty-seven first said, "There are more than a dozen water thieves here this time, and it seems that some of them have spent a lot of money. ā
The person who spent a lot of money naturally wanted Linglong's life.
"This is Sifan's job, you work hard to interrogate overnight." Linglong knew that Thirty-Seven followed the King of England, and naturally had their means for interrogation.
"Yes." Thirty-seven arched his hand and led the way.
He lifted the water thief who was paralyzed on the ground, and glanced at Zhao Sifan on the side, "I didn't expect you to have skills, let's learn from each other another day." ā
"Really?" Zhao Sifan's eyes were shining and excited.
He knew that the reason why Thirty-Seven was called Thirty-Seven was because he was ranked thirty-seven among the King's bodyguards, Li Min. And this ranking is based on martial arts.
He didn't know how he could reach out, and it would be great if he could compete with Thirty-Seven.
