Chapter 439: Chaos in the Fire! (Ask for a subscription!) )
After the ship came to a halt, the others had almost cleaned up in the cabin, and they all ran out curiously to see where they had docked.
When they saw that the boat was fixed to the shore in such a peculiar way, they were silent, and at this moment, I was afraid that there were countless grass and mud horses galloping through their hearts......
It's just this way of docking, how scary it looks!
At this time, the sky has not completely darkened, and with the last light of the sunset, you can still see the scenery on the shore, but when you see the situation on the shore clearly, everyone's mood is even worse!
Because Quzhou is the dividing line between the north and the south, and it is more inclined to the south, there is abundant sunlight and water on weekdays, so the plants here are growing very well.
On the other side of the bank is a forest, where the trees are towering into the clouds, dense, such scenes are not very common in the north, through the cracks between these trees to look back, you can see that there is a mountain behind this, as for how high the mountain is, they can't tell clearly, after all, now the shore is too close, all the view is also blocked by the trees in front of them......
However, this scene is more illustrative, it is estimated that there are some barren mountains and mountains around, and it is difficult to have households, let alone towns, and it is impossible to go ashore from this side to find a way out.
So everyone couldn't stop sighing, originally thought that after the ship docked, if the terrain was good, they would get off the boat and find some carriages, after all, from Quzhou to Jinling, even if you take the land route, it won't take too long, and if you continue on this boat, it looks too unreliable.
But now the last hope was dashed, and the only thing that was left to sigh was to pray that the weather would be fine tomorrow, that it would not be long before the captain would reach the fisherman's house, and that the boat would be repaired quickly......
Everyone returned to the cabin disappointed, after today's toss, everyone's interest was not high, huddled in their rooms, and no one wanted to come out.
However, because of the flooding, it was very uncomfortable to stay in the cabin, and there was a bad smell of being soaked in water, and the bed was damp, and it was difficult to fall asleep when lying on it.
Zhang Twelve followed Mo Li into their room again.
took out the beef jerky that she had brought on the boat before and ate some of it, Princess Yilan lay down early again, for such a princess living in the palace, what she experienced today was indeed a bit unbelievable, and she was also a little exhausted, and she fell asleep after lying down for a while.
Mo Li and Zhang Twelve did not sleep.
The two of them sat at the table, looking at each other, and they could both see worry in each other's eyes.
"You go to sleep first."
Zhang Twelve said softly, everyone is very tired during the day today, and they are even more tired after nightfall, but he is a man, so it is understandable to let Mo Li go to sleep first at this time.
Mo Li listened, and was not hypocritical, and replied: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, and I'll come back for you later!" ”
After saying that, he went to her bed and lay down.
…………
The south was overcast, and after nightfall, the clouds drifted quietly, and the sky was blocked by clouds, and there was not a trace of light.
This was still the case outside, but it was even darker in the cabin, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Zhang Twelve didn't light a candle, just sat in the night, listening to the sound outside, as if waiting for someone.
A few hours passed, and in the early hours of the morning, there was still no movement outside, but at this time, Mo Li had already gotten up, walked over and said softly, "You go to sleep." ”
At this time, when people were most tired, Zhang Twelve's eyelids were already a little unable to open, so he went directly to Mo Li's bed and fell asleep......
I don't know how long I slept, Zhang Twelve was awakened by the noisy noise outside, and a spirit immediately sat up and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Look!"
In the room that was dark before, now there was a jumping light, through the window, Zhang Twelve rubbed his eyes and looked again, where is the jumping light, it is clearly on fire!
What's going on?
The ship was already very damp, and no one was lighting a fire on the ship, where did the fire come from?
Zhang Twelve and Mo Li glanced at each other, and immediately understood that this fire, I am afraid that someone did it deliberately!
Both of them stood up, Mo Li took out a sword at some point, and looked at the direction of the door fixedly, and Princess Yilan was also woken up, sat up and muttered, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's on fire!"
Before the two of them could answer, shouts rang out outside the room!
"Bang bang bang!"
At this time, suddenly someone knocked on the door vigorously.
Mo Li walked over directly, while Zhang Twelve took two steps back and came to Princess Yilan first, just in case.
Mo Li glanced back, then opened the door, only to see a fat man dressed as a boatman standing outside the door, his hand raised and maintaining the posture of slamming the door.
"What's going on?"
"Back to Miss, there is a fire on the deck, and the captain tells us to come and inform everyone quickly, and get out quickly, so as not to wait for the ship to burn and cause a big disaster!"
The boatman said anxiously.
"The ship is on fire, don't you go and put out the fire first?"
Mo Li asked, squinting his eyes.
This is a boat, surrounded by water, thinking that the fire is not easy, even if it is really on fire, shouldn't this group of boatmen hurry to put out the fire? Why are you doing this?
Moreover, Mo Li listened carefully, the boatman ran over and went directly to their door, and never shouted outside the door of other rooms, which is even more suspicious!
"Miss Hui...... Fire...... Someone is already helping—"
Only halfway through this, the fat man suddenly raised his head, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, his sleeves flicked, and a sharp big knife directly added to his other hand, and sneered: "Take your life!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his knife and slashed at Mo Li.
Mo Li didn't dare to be careless and could only raise her sword to take it hard, but the man's strength was very great, so she was forced to retreat by this big knife, and in such a small room, there was Princess Yilan behind her, she was indeed a little unable to show it!
Thinking that it was not a way to continue like this, Mo Li directly screamed after receiving another knife from the other party, and then stabbed at the fat man with a concentrated blow.
The fat man's kung fu is good, but it is still a lot lower than Mo Li, and the reason why Mo Li was able to force Mo Li to retreat just now is mainly because it happened suddenly, and Mo Li is just resisting, not easy to perform.
Now Mo Li suddenly switched from defending to attacking, and the fat man was even more difficult to resist, so he retreated a few meters after only a while, came directly to the door, glanced at Mo Li, and said viciously: "You have the ability to fight with Lao Tzu outside!" ”
After speaking, he didn't dare to stay, and ran directly outside.
He is not an opponent here, if he goes out, Mo Li will be afraid of him?
Mo Li immediately wanted to go out, but he didn't forget to turn back to Zhang Twelve and say, "You are optimistic about Yilan!" ”
"Be careful, too!"
Before Zhang Twelve could finish his words, Mo Li flashed out by himself.
At this time, Zhang Twelve did not volunteer to let Mo Li guard Princess Yilan, and he went out to fight the enemy.
Because the night is too dark now, and it is still a close-range martial arts, Zhang Twelve does not have much advantage with a gun, and looking at the one just now, Mo Li's martial arts are obviously much higher than the man just now, so he is not worried.
The most important thing is that he had discussed it with Mo Li before, because since the last assassination of Princess Yilan, Emperor Tang has been very concerned about this matter, but he has not been able to find out the murderer.
This time I came out, and I ran into a killer again, this time I can't make them feel better, I have to catch a live mouth and ask who sent it!
If you catch a live mouth, it is not very suitable to use a gun, his marksmanship is not a hundred shots, and it is still a sports war, it is estimated that if you miss, the person will be gone......
And Zhang Twelve felt that the assassination of this kind of thing must not only be the same person just now, but also his accomplices, so he had to stay and guard Princess Yilan.
The noise outside was too loud, and Lu San and Du Lang also ran over.
"Young master, it's on fire!"
Lu San said anxiously.
"Well, I saw it, and I'll be gone in a minute."
What Zhang Twelve thought was that this fire was set by the man and his accomplices just now, in order to cause a riot, so that they could take the opportunity to do something to Princess Yilan, as for this fire, it must not be big, otherwise the boat will be burned, and everyone will have to finish playing.
They're just killers, killing others, and they're not so ruthless that they even kill themselves, right?
But Du Lang's next words made him not very calm......
"Young master, you can't extinguish it! The bow of the ship had burned down, and I heard that even the captain saw that the fire could not be extinguished, so he jumped into the river and fled! ”
“…………”
This is a bit beyond Zhang Twelve's imagination......
"Pack up your things, let's go out!"
Zhang Twelve gritted his teeth and said.
…………
As Du Lang said, the fire at this time was too big, and the bow of the ship had burned out, but fortunately the cabin was at the back of the ship, otherwise the people inside would not have been able to get out!
The cabin was extremely chaotic, after all, the fire was too big, the whole cabin was set off as if it was day, and the noise came and went, even a pig could not sleep!
Du Lang and Lu San were carrying the burden in front, and Zhang Twelve escorted Princess Yilan behind, their eyes were aimed at both sides, beware of someone taking advantage of the chaos to attack!
There was a lot of commotion and shouting, and the panic on the deck was much worse than in the cabin, and when I came out of the cabin and saw the huge fire on the deck, a group of people were crying and crying, not knowing what to do.
The boatmen, who were not as selfish as the captains, picked up the long masts, which had been broken, and led them from the edge of the ship to the shore, so that the masts were joined together to form an improvised bridge, which was rudimentary, but better than nothing.
These boatmen have been drifting on the water for many years, and like the captain, they are very good in the water, but after the captain had an accident, he jumped into the river and swam ashore, and these boatmen are trying to find a way for the rest of the people.
However, the bridge was built, but it became a question of who would go first.
Because this bridge is said to be a bridge, but it is made of three or four round masts, and the distance is not short, and the river is below, which looks dark in this night, and it is very terrifying, so it takes some courage to walk on it.
Seeing that no one dared to go up, one of the young boatmen walked up, and although his body swayed from side to side on it, he walked slowly over.
When he walked over, he fixed the mast again, and sat down on the mast at the same time, which reduced the swaying of the mast, and made it safer to walk on it.
But the others still didn't dare to go up, so another boatman came out and walked over from above.
Because both sides are fixed, this time the walk is extremely smooth, almost like walking on the ground, extremely easy.
Seeing that the mast was already so strong, everyone's hearts calmed down a lot, and they looked eager to try.
Suddenly, because the bow of the ship burned for too long, neatly broke into the river, the passenger ship without the bow began to enter the water quickly, and the hull also sank rapidly under the range that could be seen.
Therefore, there was an instant commotion on the boat, and everyone was crowded on the side of the mast bridge, and the place where no one dared to approach just now was suddenly crowded, and no one let anyone, because of the crowding, several people were squeezed into the water, and suddenly desperately shouted for help, and the scene was out of control.
A few boatmen with good water characteristics hurriedly jumped down and pulled the two who fell into the water to the shore, and the other boatmen immediately scolded: "Don't squeeze, go up one by one, otherwise no one will be able to leave!" ”
Hearing what the boatman said, the riot calmed down a little, but there were still a few people crowded there, and the ugliness of human nature was magnified a lot at this moment......
"I am Zhao Qingfeng, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan! The largest Zhaojia Grain Village in Jinling is our family's, let me pass it first! ”
Because the cabin was on the innermost side, Zhao Qingfeng came out the latest, and then he was at the end of the crowd.
The boat was sinking, and it was estimated that it would not take long to be completely submerged in the water, Zhao Qingfeng was frightened, and hurriedly reported his identity, for fear that he would not be able to pass if he was late.
But now that life and death are at stake, who cares about his identity?
So he shouted these words and was soon drowned out by the wind and noise, and his position was still fixed there, without the slightest advance.
Zhang Twelve was not in the mood to care about the situation here, and he was not worried about whether they could cross the bridge, after all, with his light skills, it would be easy for him to fly to the shore with Princess Yilan, and Du Lang had also learned kung fu for a while, so this distance was not difficult for him.
Therefore, Zhang Twelve did not approach the position of the crowd, but stood on the other side to search for Mo Yi's figure, and after coming out for a while, Zhang Twelve did not find anyone fighting on the deck, let alone Mo Li, so he was a little worried!
Suddenly, from the position where the bow of the ship was broken, several figures rose into the air at once, and Zhang Twelve took a look through the firelight, who was it not Mo Li?
Joy!
It's just that there are four knife-wielding men around her, although a single person may not be as good as her in kung fu, but the four of them are together, and Mo Li can't take any advantage!
