Chapter 265: Begin to be vigilant
This escort doesn't seem to be easy, just got on the boat and there was an abnormality, Lin Yu couldn't tell if there was regret or something else, but now it was ready to fly, and she didn't want to regret it, so she warned herself to be more careful, although everything is as much as possible to protect the food as its own responsibility, but if life is threatened, life is the priority!
After the five boats sailed out of Huaikou Town not far away, they sailed into the canyon, on both sides there are tall and majestic mountains, the cliffs of the river are covered with moss, and there are also many tenacious shrubs, the deeper they go, the more quiet they become, and you can clearly hear the murmuring sound of the boat as it moves in the water, as well as the occasional bird call from the mountain.
At a glance, only the river wall at the turn was seen, and the forest fish looked around, sorting out his memory, and vaguely felt that the mountains along the road seemed to be the deep mountains behind his own low mountains.
The canyon didn't know how long it was, Lin Yu felt that the boat had sailed in for most of the day, and she hadn't seen the end yet, she suddenly remembered that when she rescued Yan Gu a few years ago, she seemed to hear him say that he was attacked in the canyon not far from Huaikou Town, and she was a little anxious in her heart, afraid that this place would not be in front of the village and not in the back of the store, although it was not far from Guankou Town, but if there were really people with bad intentions in this ambush, it would only be more auspicious......
She was nervous, so she couldn't help but carry her bow and arrow on her shoulder at any time and place, and be careful about any abnormal noise.
Lu Tieniu was not as nervous as Lin Yu, and after arranging all the personnel, he locked himself in the room and fell asleep.
In the evening, the five boats finally sailed out of the canyon without incident, and the heart of the forest fish that had been hanging all day was finally relaxed. After going to the stove room to get food and eating, he went back to the room with water.
Lu Tieniu was still asleep in the room, and Lin Yu thought that he had to wash himself. He kindly called Lu Tieniu up and told him that it was time for dinner, Lu Tieniu woke up and nodded to her, and got up to go to dinner.
Taking advantage of his absence, Lin Yu hurriedly slammed the door and wiped his body indiscriminately, then poured the dirty water into the river and hurriedly got into bed.
There were about twenty people on board. Except for the three officers and the captain and vice captain, the rest of the people were divided into three shifts, one of which stood guard during the day. One shift patrols at night, the other takes care of food.
When the rooms were divided, there were only four rooms and one stove room on the second floor of the cabin, so the three officials lived in one room. The captain and the vice-captain lived in one room. The other two rooms are bunked for the rest of the people.
Chen Tongyou also wanted to live with Lin Yu, but the captain and vice captain lived in another room, although he regretted it, he could only accept it.
Turning into a man and living with a man, Lin Yu was extremely uncomfortable at first, avoiding people when going to the toilet and grooming, for fear of being seen by others.
Lu Tieniu looks tall and big. Standing up was like a hill, but he didn't say much. He was not as vicious as he seemed, and it was not until a few days later in the same room with him that Lin Yu's guard was slightly relaxed.
The five ships parted ways at a junction after traveling for most of the second day. Further on, there was only one boat in which the forest fish was, and the forest fish still did not know where the boat was headed.
When Chen Tongyou is not standing guard, he often comes to chat with Lin Yu. Lin Yu pretended to ask casually why he came to escort the grain and grass?
Chen Tongyou told her that a notice had been posted in the city, and because the front line was tight, the imperial court would recruit capable people to support, and if the war was won, those who were willing to continue to stay in the barracks would be added to the ranks, and if they were unwilling to stay, they would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver...... Everyone here came for the thousand taels of silver, and he was no exception.
After saying that, he asked Lin Yu if he also came because of this? Lin Yu didn't speak, only pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.
She felt like her mind was a mess, and she really couldn't understand the situation. She knew that the treasury was empty, she also knew that the front line was tight, and she knew that there was a shortage of people to escort grain and grass, if she hadn't been extremely aware of this, she would not have stood on this ship with Chen Tongyou and others today.
However, she didn't know that Chen Tongyou and the others came because they wanted to go to the battlefield to win the reward, although they didn't see the notice with their own eyes, but Lin Yu knew that what Chen Tongyou said must be the truth, and she was glad that Lord Qincha didn't interrogate her carefully, so that she could get away with it so easily, but now it seems that it is not her luck, but that such a large number of them may have fallen into an invisible trap, waiting for the hunters who will appear in front of them at some point......
It's unrealistic to go back, even if she wants to run, but now she is still in the river, and she can't swim, going down the river is a dead end, besides, there is her food in this boat, since she knows that there is a conspiracy, then she is even more unwilling to give so much food to the thief, no matter what, she has to fight, if it really hurts her life, it is not too late to run......
Lin Yu slowly figured it out, but she didn't dare to tell anyone, including that Chen Tongyou, among these people, there might be a few spies, so she warned herself that she couldn't easily trust anyone, even the seemingly innocent Chen Tongyou!
was vigilant in her heart, but Lin Yu did not have a trace of panic on her face, after a few days, her mental capacity has been much higher, and she can really be in danger.
Chen Tongyou still likes to chat with her, although Lin Yu doesn't believe him, but he doesn't reject him, but thinks that it is a good thing that he often looks for her, after all, he has a lot of contact with other people, and he can inadvertently reveal some information about everyone on the boat to her when chatting.
From his mouth, Lin Yu understood that although the notice indicated that they were going to the front line to help, the day before they got on the ship, before Lin Yu arrived, more than a hundred people gathered at the port to know that in order to go to the front line, they had to complete the task of escorting grain and grass.
At that time, some people disagreed, so some officers and soldiers immediately came out and rewarded each of them with five taels of silver, saying that as long as the grain and grass were safely transported to the battlefield, there would be a reward of silver, and another reward would be given for the merits of killing the enemy in battle......
At this point, everyone was dumbfounded and agreed to deliver grain and grass.
The ship went on for several more days, and just when everyone was bored, the ship stopped at a wharf and asked everyone on board to come down to help unload the food.
It turned out that I was going to change the means of transportation and prepare to go by land.
Although Lin Yu is the vice captain, he also has to step forward to help. It's just that because the people who carry the grain are men, so each sack contains fifty catties of grain, although the forest fish can carry a few bags, but slowly it can't be carried, Chen Tongyou is a little puzzled, thinking that he is a hunter, how can he not even carry dozens of catties?
Lin Yu had to lie and laugh and say that he had injured his waist while hunting, and he had not been healed, so now he carried two bags, and his back injury was committed.
Chen Tongyou solved his doubts and asked her to rest on the side, saying that he had carried the food of the forest fish. (To be continued......)
