Chapter 19

After Mo Bing got on another boat, he went directly to the boatman to find out about the general situation of this water.

There are indeed frequent water thieves in this water, and it is similar to what he imagined, this is the most heavily guarded place, there are no officers and soldiers to guard, and water thieves gather in this water. The strange thing is that these water thieves have come and gone without a trace, and they have reported to the city lord who manages the various cities in this water area earlier, and some have sent people to inspect, but there are no clues and clues, and no one can find out where the water thieves gather specifically.

Those water thieves seem to be very well informed, as long as they send people to inspect here, they will not show up for a month or two, and the officers and soldiers have been guarding this side for several months without any results, and over time no one has come here to inspect again.

This time they caught Gusu Haoyue, it was unlucky, Gusu Haoyue's teleportation is now more and more proficient, the range of movement has greatly increased, and the speed of teleportation has also increased a lot, it is estimated that those water thieves will react at this time and people will run away.

The location given to him by Gusu Haoyue was very precise, and Mo Bing discussed with the boatman and asked him to walk more and come down in the designated place, and Mo Bing would not treat him badly. The boatman looks like an old fox, but he also knows how to read people, Mo Bing's words and deeds don't look like ordinary people, and he still got off the official ship, so his identity must be very special. So Mo Bing's request, the boatman readily agreed.

The boat was moving quickly, according to the route given by Mo Bing, the merchant ship several people high entered a turbulent water, the boatman controlled the boat flexibly with both hands, it was obvious that this water area was not very easy to control, only to hear the boatman say with some embarrassment: "Childe, our boat is driving in, this side belongs to the downstream basin, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to drive back." ”

Mo Bing knew what the boatman meant, put a bag of silver pinned to his waist directly in front of the boatman, and said, "You help me, I won't let you suffer." I'll make it up to you when I'm done. ”

After hearing this, the boatman immediately showed an excited smile on his face, looked at Mo Bing's bag of silver coins, his eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, Childe, we will definitely cooperate well with what Childe orders." ”

Mo Bing just nodded and didn't say anything more, his heart was very upset. From yesterday to now, he has been in a tense state, he has not slept all night, his face is full of exhaustion, his face is pale, and the unique floating aura of his body has disappeared.

It is undeniable that he is really worried, afraid that he will kill the two girls because of his momentary negligence. He had never been so disturbed and blamed himself, and perhaps his heart could only be relieved when he saw that they were safe and sound.

Mo Bing was silent and didn't speak, a pair of eyes looked at the distance without any focus, obviously thinking about things. The boatman was an old man, and when he saw this, he couldn't help asking, "Childe, I take the liberty of asking, what are you doing here?" The waters are very remote, and not many people usually come here. ”

Fortunately, the boatman has been driving a boat in this water area for more than ten years, and he is also very familiar with this place, although it is the first time to enter this turbulent water, but with his experience for so many years, he can definitely enter and exit safely.

Mo Bing, who was supposed to be silent, spoke, only to see that his pupils contracted as if he had thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Find someone." ”

He is a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, but he hesitates in his own affairs. Qing Ran must have known something, or something she wanted to tell him. If he had to say it that night, she would have told him. But if she wanted to tell him, why didn't she want to tell him?

He thought about this question for a long time, and the only answer he got was that she was waiting for him to ask, and maybe if he did, she would tell him. He believed that he already knew the answer that night, and after a few hesitations and deliberations, he backed away, so that he did not learn the truth that night.

Now that I think about it, I really regret it, maybe he should face it calmly. It's not his nature, he shouldn't be like this.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, he really responded to Gusu Haoyue's words, he is an iceberg that will not melt for thousands of years, rather than letting the sun shine and melt, he wants to stand there alone and become eternal.

So as long as he touches his feelings, his heart is resistant, and sometimes he even feels that his heart is dead. He's used to being alone, maybe he can't get used to the sudden extra person around him.

But it was evident that he could no longer escape, and his troubled heart had been longing for an answer, as if something was about to come out, but when a thought flashed through his mind, he quickly rejected it. On his own, he could never fail to find the truth.

This time, he came to find someone, and he also came to find the truth.

The boatman saw that Mo Bing's face was calm and his tone was very solemn, so he didn't say anything more. Until the destination, the boatman stopped the boat at the place designated by Mo Bing.

"Childe, it's not good to stay in this place for a long time, so we'll wait for your news in the place where the water is slower in front. Childe went back quickly, and left quickly when he found someone. The boatman admonished.

What is the careful sailing of the 10,000-year-old ship, the boatman can more or less see that this is weird, and he doesn't want to lose more for this money. If you let him know that this is the place where the water thieves gather, I'm afraid I won't want to come.

Mo Bing nodded in response.

The water here is fast, and if he didn't know the route here, he probably wouldn't have been able to get here. If he was not mistaken, the ships that had been traveling back and forth for decades probably had never been here.

It looked like a desert island, but the trees weren't that dense and it looked like there were signs of habitation, so he was sure that this must be the place where water thieves lived. But strangely, he looked around, and there was no shadow of the ship. If there were no boats, how could they go outside and rob them?

At this time, Mo Bing suddenly realized. He had not noticed one thing, although there were merchant ships coming and going around his ship when it was following the merchant ship, it was quite far away, and when the ship caught fire, his ship quickly caught up with the merchant ship to save people, but he did not see any other ships next to the merchant ship. If so, then how exactly did they leave with people?

He didn't notice this matter before, so he didn't ask Gu Su Haoyue how he was brought here, now that he thinks about it, it is really suspicious, so many living people can't disappear out of thin air, but the bow merchant ship was robbed and set on fire, and the two girls and Gu Su Haoyue were arrested.

Maybe he'll have to meet these thieves in person to find out.

Mo Bing has been observing the terrain here since he came ashore, and he didn't hear any sound along the way, and he didn't see a person's shadow, which made it even more weird.

I don't know how long he walked, a figure quickly flashed in the bushes on his side, Mo Bing's eyes were fast, and he caught the direction of the person at a glance, and Mo Bing subconsciously pulled his legs and chased after him.

The man was very fast, as if he was deliberately running around a bush with him, borrowing a tree vine to swing in the air from time to time, Mo Bing had no intention of going around the bend with him, changed directions, and it didn't take long to string in front of the man. The man probably didn't expect Mo Bing's speed to be so fast, and he was obviously taken aback.

Mo Bing pulled out the short knife on his waist and swung it out mercilessly, simply cutting off the vine in the man's hand, and then turned around and returned to his hand.

The man reacted very quickly, flipped in the air a few times and landed on a tree trunk, obviously a little dissatisfied with his flying knife, as if he had been sent out of the way, feeling unfair.

Only then did Mo Bing see the true face of the man, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, wrapped in exotic clothes, and his head was wrapped in something, and his dark face was painted with a few black rods for some reason.

"Don't run, you can't run away." Mo Bing landed on the trunk next to the boy in a few jumps, looking at him with a playful look.

The young man blushed, looked a little ashamed, and looked at Mo Bing and didn't run anymore.

"You're a water thief who lives here, too? Where are you keeping people? Mo Bing asked bluntly. Judging by the young man's clothes, he must have lived here, so he must know the whereabouts of them.

But the young man didn't say a word, turned around and tried to stay away from Mo Bing, but Mo Bing kept staring at the young man's reaction, and seeing that he had the intention of escaping, the short knife was thrown out again, cutting off a few strands of the young man's hair, and the young man finally gave up the idea of escaping.

"I don't hurt you, I'm here just to take my people...... I advise you to be obedient too, the knife in my hand does not obey me at all, if you deviate a little more, you will die. Mo Bing turned the short knife in his hand and stared at the young man in front of him with somewhat threatening eyes.

"Who are you looking for? How did you find this place? The boy finally spoke, and his voice sounded stiff, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

The corners of Mo Bing's mouth hooked an arc, and sure enough, as he guessed, this young man was the one who lived here, otherwise how could he be so deeply guarded against him.

"The two girls were arrested by you yesterday evening, you don't care how I found here, I just want to get them out safely, and I can't care about the rest for the time being." Mo Bing replied.

After hearing this, the young man's face sank, and he seemed to be a little incredulous, and muttered to himself, "Did they arrest someone again?" ”
