Chapter 129: Escape!
At night, the moon rises on the river, the boat travels in the river, not far in front of the gorge, the surrounding mountain walls gradually steepen, the water turns sharply.
The helmsman at the bow of the boat was in good spirits, looking at the mouth of the gorge ahead, the boat is easy to deviate at night, the gorge is steep and dangerous, the current is more rapid, and it is common to accidentally rub the mountain wall when crossing the gorge.
Carefully sailed into the canyon, there was a turn ahead, the wind was loud, the boatmen working on the deck all grasped the masts and ropes at hand, and a few veterans were still chatting about the sight of crossing the river this time, and at this time, suddenly heard a whistle from the bow of the ship, and the siren had just sounded twice, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and without warning it poured down and crashed into the mountain wall.
The boatmen on the deck were all discolored, and after a moment of panic, someone ran to the helm, and a trumpet sounded, and the fastest one saw at a glance the helmsman who had been killed by an arrow on the rudder, and before he could let out an exclamation, he was shot through the chest by the crossbow that flew through the air, and the blood exploded in front of his eyes.
Having lost its helmsman, the hull of the ship hit the mountain wall, and the violent shaking made many of the people running on the boat fall into the water, and one or two near the edge of the boat fell directly into the water, and the screams resounded in the boat one after another.
Immediately afterward, a nimble bandit ship approached them in the dark night, and one by one iron claw chains were thrown onto the ship, and one by one the figures stepped on the chain-paved aisle and flew onto the merchant ship.
"Ahh
"Someone hijacked the ship!"
"The water bandits are coming! The water bandits are coming! ”
In the midst of the commotion, Yu Shu struggled to wake up, opened his eyes, and it was dark in front of him, there was no light in the room, only a little light outside the window, lying in a small space, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was blocked without jumping.
Her head was still a little drowsy, she shook her head, trying to see the scene in front of her, she was gently bumped on the shoulder, she turned her head, and saw a pair of eyes that were still slightly shining in the night, and her brain was awake in an instant.
"Hmm."
Jingchen saw Yu Shu wake up, his eyes were happy, he couldn't make a sound, and he bumped her shoulder again, which was a response.
Yu Shu soon found that they were now under the bed, she was lying on the side inside, Jing Chen was lying outside, her hands and feet were helped to not move, she put her head on top of Jing Chen, signaling him to go out first, Jing Chen moved out willingly, Yu Shu turned around and rolled out directly.
With the help of Jing Chen, Yu Shu got up from the ground, jumped on the side of the bed opposite the tunnel, looked down, and saw that Yu Xiaoxiu and Xia Mingming were both lying inside, and had not woken up yet.
Damn it!
Yu Shu scolded fiercely in her heart, she couldn't wait to slap herself, she didn't count that Bi Qing and that Qiu Biao were in the same group! She also pretended to be smart and discussed with Bi Qing how to deal with Qiu Biao, but she was drugged by them and became a turtle in an urn.
There was no time to blame herself too much, the noise outside made Yu Shu realize the urgency of time, and if she didn't want to find a way to get out, several of them would not be able to escape death, Bi Qing and Qiu Biao took such a lot of trouble to act, nothing more than planning to return to the Chamber of Commerce as victims afterwards, she still saw through the true colors of Qiu Biao and Bi Qing, and Bi Qing would definitely not leave them alive.
"Hmm."
With his hands tied behind his back, Yu Shu motioned for Jingchen to sit on the bed, turned his back to him, and tore off the strip of cloth on his mouth with his fingers, making a demonstration and asking him to tear off the strip of cloth on his mouth.
Yu Shu jumped back to her bedside, and reflexively felt out a dagger under the mattress, which was given to her by Pei Jing for self-defense when she left Yiyang City, but she didn't expect it to be useful.
Grinding the knife on his wrist a few times with his backhand, it was very uncomfortable, Yu Shu called Jingchen in a low voice:
"Jingchen, come here, I'll untie you first."
After some tossing, the two of them untied the ropes on their hands and feet from each other, and Yu Shu commanded Jingchen, dragged Yu Xiaoxiu and Xia Mingming out from under the bed, and untied them.
"Xiao Xiu, Mingming, wake up, wake up!" Yu Shu patted the two of them on the face, couldn't wake them up, listened to the sound of killing downstairs getting louder and louder, just afraid that someone would rush upstairs to solve them later, she was anxious, thinking of the plot she had seen on TV before, grabbed the kettle on the table, and poured it on the faces of the two of them.
"Ahem, ahem."
This method worked, Xia Mingming and Yu Xiaoxiu woke up one after another, Yu Shu didn't care about comforting them, and hurriedly said: "Wake up, the hijacker is coming, we have to run!" ”
As she spoke, she felt back to the bed, stuffed the important things into a waterproof leather bag, fastened the mouth of the bag, hung it around her neck, grabbed the "ancient sword" under the pillow, and tore open the strip of cloth wrapped around it, revealing the body of the sword, regardless of whether it was sharp or not, it was a weapon.
Quickly cleaned up, Yu Shu rushed to the window, opened the window, looked down, and was suddenly frightened, only to see that under the moonlight, the figure was moving, the sword was silver, and a body with a boatman's body was on the deck, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh and blood was popping, and the river wind was blowing in the bloody breath.
Suppressing the stomach acid, Yu Shu turned around and stuffed the dagger to Jing Chen, she pushed Xia Mingming, who was still in a daze, pulled Yu Xiaoxiu tight, and urged them:
"Jingchen is optimistic about Mingming, follow me."
Yu Shu walked to the door, gently pulled a slit, and looked out, there was screaming in the corridor, someone was running, the lights had long been extinguished, and it was impossible to see who was who.
"Chirp!"
A piercing call aroused Yu Xiaoxiu's attention, he looked down and found the little yellow hair that ran to the side of his trousers at some point, and quickly bent down to scoop it up and stuffed it into his arms.
"Let's go."
Yu Shu dragged Yu Xiaoxiu out of the boat first, and ran in the direction of the rear cabin, when she was looking for Xia Mingming on the ship yesterday, she looked at all the exceptions of this ship, except for the cargo hold, she knew the structure of the hull very well, and there was a window in the rear cabin, which could jump to the roof on the first floor, which was not high from the deck, and it was much safer than taking the stairs.
The four of them ran to the end of the corridor, and sure enough, they found the window, Yu Shu pushed the window open, glanced at it and saw that there was no one below, so they jumped down first, this floor was not high, and the four of them jumped out smoothly.
Further down is the deck, as far as Yu Shu visually observed, this layer is about two meters high, she grabbed the sword on the grip, jumped down first, the whole calf was numb when she landed, she rubbed her ankles, stood up, and raised her head to the three people on the ceiling:
"Jump off, quick!"
Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen jumped down without saying a word, but Xia Mingming stood on top and didn't dare to move, Jing Chen fell steadily to the ground, Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu up, saw her ink on it, listened to the sound of the fight in front of him approached, and stretched out his hand to her anxiously, coaxing:
"Jump quickly, don't be afraid, I'll pick you up!"
Xia Mingming turned his heart sideways, squeezed his eyes and jumped down, Yu Shu reached out to catch her, was knocked backwards by her, and was supported by Jingchen before he fell over.
Xia Mingming leaned on Yu Shu's arms, only feeling soft, she raised her head, looking at the moon, Yu Shu's calm and calm face, she was ashamed for a while, but she didn't notice the two lumps on Yu Shu's chest, and was pushed away by Yu Shu.
"There's someone over there!"
With a shout, Yu Shu heard footsteps on the deck, and when he turned around, he saw two figures running towards the stern of the boat, and he also cut down two boatmen on the way.
"Ahh Xia Mingming also saw the blood over there, screamed, and shuddered and hugged Yu Shu's arm and hid behind her.
Yu Shu didn't have the time to comfort her, quickly looked at the surrounding environment, pushed her with one hand, dragged Yu Xiaoxiu with the other, and ran to the stern of the boat, Jing Chen followed closely behind them, turning his head from time to time to look at the people chasing behind.
"Ah San killed them, don't let them run away!" An angry roar came from the window on the second floor, Yu Shu rushed to the stern of the boat, took advantage of the chaos to look back, and saw a figure lying on the window of the rear cabin where they had just jumped down, and the voice was somewhat familiar.
It's Bi Qing!
With a flash of his eyes, Yu Shu's face changed drastically, and he saw a water bandit with a long sword and a bloody body rushing towards them, menacing, just a dozen steps away, on the way, he raised his hand and cut off the head of a boatman who was lying on the ground with a sword, and blood splashed over.
"Jump! Swim ashore! Yu Shu let out a low roar, pushed the pale-faced Yu Xiaoxiu to climb onto the edge of the boat, and pushed him down.
With a "poof", Yu Xiaoxiu fell into the river, splashing several layers of water.
Xia Mingming's legs were weak, he couldn't turn over twice, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, Yu Shu crawled halfway, hummed and planned to jump down, watching her sit down, hesitating in his eyes, gritting his teeth and retracting his legs, dragging her up from the ground, and slapping her in the face:
"If you don't want to die, jump down! Swim me to shore! ”
Xia Mingming was woken up a little, biting his lip and re-onto the edge of the boat, he was pushed down by Yu Shu's legs, and there was another "poof".
At this time, Yu Shu didn't even dare to turn her head back, she was afraid that if she twisted her face, her neck would be cut off, she heard the footsteps behind her, the smell of blood in the air was strong, a strong sense of danger hit, the cold wind blew her ears, she instinctively shrunk her neck, rolled to the side, and hit Jing Chen on the side, and the two of them rolled together.
Jing Chen subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect Yu Shu's head, the two of them turned around twice and stopped, Yu Shu happened to be pressed under him, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bright long sword from Jing Chen's shoulder, stabbing towards Jing Chen's back, and this time, the two of them could be pierced in pairs.
Her heart stopped beating for a moment, her eyes glared in horror, her throat rolled, and she hissed out two words:
"Jingchen!"
As soon as his ears moved, Jing Chen, who was lying on Yu Shu's body, instantly tensed his muscles, his pupils constricted, his fingers clasped, and he tightly grasped Yu Shu's wrist holding the sword, as fast as lightning, and his arm folded back at an extremely distorted angle-
"Ding-bang!"
The sound of the collision of sharp blades pierced the eardrums, Yu Shu's eyes widened, and he looked at the hand above his head that was clenched by Jing Chen, erected the "Ancient Sword" that was crawling with green rust, and firmly held the blood-dripping long sword above his head.
Pounding!
The heartbeat sounded again.
