Chapter 38: The Den of Thieves (Seeking Collection)

"Water thieves?" Shi Wei was taken aback.

He raised his eyes and saw that the approaching ships were all smaller boats, and the speed of the ships was extremely fast, and it did not take long to chase dozens of paces.

The sailors on the ship, all wrapped in green scarves and carrying all kinds of weapons in their hands, knew at a glance that they were not good.

In recent years, the Southern Tang Kingdom has been in decline, because in order to pay tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty, it can only increase taxes, so over the years, many people have been forced to flee in the mountains, forests and lakes, and have started to act as robbers.

When this section of the Yangtze River waterway from Tu to Jinling, because there are often naval warships patrolling, the water thieves generally haunt less, how did they think that Shi Wei bumped into it today.

The situation was urgent, and Shi Wei shouted: "Quick, immediately turn the rudder and lean towards the nearby town, don't let them come up." ”

When the two boatmen of the passenger ship saw that there were water thieves, they were naturally frightened, and they hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, propped up the full sails, and tried to approach the south bank.

It was too late, and in an instant, three thief ships had caught up and stuck to the passenger ship from three directions.

"You hide in the cabin first, and I'll deal with these water thieves." Without saying a word, Xiong Qingdai pushed Shi Wei into the cabin, drew his sword and stabbed at the water thief who climbed up on the port side.

Shi Wei doesn't know martial arts, and he is not Huang Rong, this pair of white hands is okay to take the pulse of people to cure diseases, but he is helpless to deal with these murderous water thieves.

Knowing that it was too dangerous for Xiong Qingdai to deal with so many water thieves alone, he could only try his best to keep calm, and he didn't dare to rush out rashly, and he was brave.

Although those water thieves look ferocious, their martial arts are rough and tight, and they are obviously far inferior to Xiong Qingdai, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood.

But seeing that in a green shirt, wielding a long sword in his hand, rushing left and right, he only killed a few water thieves so that he didn't dare to get on the boat, and even one of them was stabbed by her sword, and fell into the water howling.

Seven or eight thieves first overturned the two boatmen, and then flanked Xiong Qingdai from both sides of the head and tail.

Although Xiong Qingdai's martial arts are powerful, she can't stand the other party's large number of people after all, and she is out of breath when the battle is not long, and she is forced to retreat step by step by seven or eight water thieves, until she retreats to the bow side.

Shi Wei knew very well that if Xiong Qingdai was allowed to fight alone, he would have to die at the hands of this group of water thieves sooner or later.

The situation had reached such a point that he could no longer afford to think about it, so he slammed the hatch open, rushed to the deck in a few steps, and shouted: "If you want to ask for money, I will give it to you, and Hugh will hurt people." ”

Shi Wei roared like this, and the attention of the water thieves was immediately attracted, and the two water thieves immediately rushed over, and four thick arms held him up in a few clicks.

"Let him go!"

Xiong Qingdai saw that Shi Wei was captured, fearing that he would be poisoned, the long sword in his hand danced into a mess, and he desperately killed Shi Wei.

She was so excited, the flaws appeared, and before she could take a step, she ate a sword on her shoulder, her shirt was torn "with a bang", and a bloody wound appeared.

Xiong Qingdai screamed in pain, and under the severe pain in her shoulder, her body instinctively fell backwards.

At this time, a water thief took advantage of the situation and flew up and kicked Xiong Qingdai.

"Ahh

In the scream, Xiong Qingdai's feet were unstable, and the whole person was kicked off the boat, and fell into the water with a thud.

Shi Wei was taken aback, and he was anxious to break free from the shackles to save Xiong Qingdai who had fallen into the water, but his body was held by two strong water thieves, and he couldn't move with all his strength.

When he was still angry, he felt that his eyes were dark, and one of his pockets was put on his head.

It was dark in front of him, barely breathing, Shi Wei couldn't breathe, and he struggled a few times and had to give up.

It was so dark that he felt that he had been put on the boat first, and then the sound of the waves faded away, and he heard the sound of the grass stirring in his ears, and he guessed that the water thieves had turned the boat into the reeds at the fork of the river.

The scene of Xiong Qingdai falling into the water has been repeated in Shi Wei's mind, thinking of the sword wound she suffered, Shi Wei felt a trace of pain in his heart.

However, he is not worried about whether Xiong Qingdai has a surname, this girl was born in a fishing gang, and grew up by the river, the surname Shui is not weak, as long as she can endure the pain and swim ashore safely.

After his mood gradually calmed down, Shi Wei began to worry about his situation.

Looking at the current situation, these thieves should want to take him to the den of thieves, and in doing so, they should want to take him hostage and extort him for ransom.

The water thieves did this, which showed that it seemed to be understandable, but Shi Wei was suspicious in his heart.

During this trip to Jinling, for the sake of safety on the road, he specially rented a passenger boat that didn't look very ostentatious, and he and Xiong Qingdai were also dressed plainly, and they didn't have much cash on them, so they didn't look like rich people at a glance.

And those water thieves, at the risk of being bumped into by the government's navy, took great pains to rob themselves, and in this way, the risks and benefits are obviously not proportional.

Suspiciously, Shi Wei had been disembarked, and after walking the muddy path for less than a quarter of an hour, he felt that he had been taken to a room, and the whole person was tied to a pillar.

"Boss, we arrested this kid, you see if it's this person." One of the water thieves shouted.

Suddenly, the pocket on Shi Wei's head was opened.

The suffocating feeling dissipated, Shi Wei gulped in the air, and the flickering light pierced him for a while.

Two fingers held Shi Wei's chin and held his head up, Shi Wei smelled a smell of fat powder, and wanted to look at him as a woman.

The irritation of the eyes gradually subsided, and the blurry image became clear, and it was indeed a woman in front of her.

But I saw that this female thief was about thirty, dressed in a green gauze shirt, with a hairpin ring on her head, some unknown wildflowers on her sideburns, a bright red silk skirt tied around her waist, some rouge on her face, and her open chest revealing a bandeau of pink yarn.

"Is he in charge?"

The water thieves called this female thief like this, Shi Wei didn't expect that the leader of this gang of robbers would be a young woman.

The female thief looked Shi Wei up and down for a while, crossed her waist and said, "It's white and pure, it looks a bit like it." ”

Listening to her tone, it seems that this kidnapping is prepared, and the meat ticket is herself.

Shi Wei couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface, and said with a slight smile: "Dare to ask what this woman is called?" ”

"You fat sheep, you don't panic at all." The female thief saw Shi Wei so calm, and her face showed a little surprise.

She was playing with a wild flower in her hand, and said very arrogantly: "It's okay to tell you, the old lady doesn't change her name, she doesn't change her surname, Sun Erniang is also." ”

"Sun Erniang?" Shi Wei blurted out.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that this is really a coincidence, there is a Sun Erniang in the Water Margin who opens a black shop, and there is also a Sun Erniang in the Southern Tang Kingdom who is a robber, and he is really unlucky to let himself be bumped into.

Seeing Shi Wei's tone, Sun Erniang seemed to know her name, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, you kid has also heard of the old lady's name?" ”

Shi Wei smiled and said: "The name of the granddaughter is like thunder, no one knows. ”

That Sun Erniang smiled, touched Shi Wei's face, scratched her anger and said: "You little white face, this mouth is like being stained with honey, and you are used to coaxing the old lady to be happy." ”

The young woman Shi Wei has not experienced it, there is one in the family, and there is also one in the Nianci Nunnery, but he was so molested by a young woman robber, this is really the first time in the world.

Scratch the girls, when Lao Tzu escapes, you have to die......

Shi Wei gritted his teeth in his heart, but said on his lips: "The granddaughter is chivalrous and soft-hearted, and she has always admired it tightly in the next, but she is just a poor and sour man, and she offended the heroine somewhere, and provoked the heroine to go to such great trouble and tied it to the precious land." ”

"Lang Zhong, are you Lang Zhong?" Sun Erniang's face was happy.

Shi Wei nodded blankly.

That Sun Erniang immediately smiled happily, touched his face and said, "It's Lang Zhong, it's right, it seems that the old lady can be regarded as catching the right person this time." ”

Hearing this, Shi Wei's heart was shocked.

It seems that this time he was kidnapped, it is no accident, someone must have deliberately hired these water thieves to act, otherwise, how could this girl hear that she is Lang Zhonghou, and will happily shout "Catch the right person".

Shi Wei's heart was immediately clouded, and he asked coldly: "Master Sun, I don't know who hired you to arrest me, can you tell me?" ”

"It's me!"

Before the words fell, I could only hear an arrogant and smug voice behind me.
