Chapter 113: Saved
Listening to his pity, Gu Changning stood unmoved.
She knew that Uncle He would never let her go, and it was just a casual remark.
Sure enough, he continued.
"However, you can live there as well as you go to a new place, and with your qualifications, I believe you will be able to reach your full potential." After saying this with a smile, Old Man He began to ask his people to transport all the children to the ship.
Gu Changning had the idea of delaying time, but when he saw him start to do it at this moment, he hurriedly said: "Uncle He, your hunting skills are so good, it's rare to see you return empty-handed, it's definitely no problem to live on prey, why do you still do such a thing?!" ”
"Why do you want to do such a thing?" Uncle He listened to her words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his demeanor completely changed in an instant.
The originally amiable face was not there, but a trace of ruthlessness appeared, with a bit of fierceness.
"My children are gone, why can other people's children live well in this world? Since God wants to do this to me, let's all work together. Uncle He said with a malicious smile on his face, "Looking at the happiness of other people's families, do you know how painful it is for me?" ”
Gu Changning looked at him incredulously, "But they weren't the ones who killed your son!" ”
"But their children are alive! That's a sin! Uncle He had a little madness on his face, and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "My children are gone, and everyone's children are gone, so it's fair ......."
“…… You are crazy. Gu Changning looked at him, his lips moved, and in the end he could only say these words.
Uncle He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued to smile at Gu Changning: "Okay, I know you are delaying time, but no one will come to save you, you will die of this heart, get on the boat with peace of mind, and suffer less flesh and skin, otherwise, don't blame me for not missing the love of the same village." ”
"The villagers of Xinghua Village have been good citizens who have never broken the law for generations, so forget about the feelings of the same village." Gu Changning looked at him coldly, turned around and got on the boat without saying a word.
After everyone went up, Old Man He glanced at the people on the boat, and the boat began to sail down the river from north to south.
The ship is divided into two tiers, the lower deck is stacked with goods, and the upper deck is inhabited.
But in fact, in the lower cabin where the cargo is stacked, there is also a hidden dark cabin.
Gu Changning and his party were locked up in this dark and dreary dark cabin.
In order to prevent this group of children from deliberately making noise in the cabin to attract the attention of others, everyone was drugged, their hands and feet were tied, and they were taken away groggily all the way.
While they covered their mouth and nose with a handkerchief dipped in the drug, Lin Jun quietly took an antidote in his mouth, pretending to be fascinated by them like other children.
After they exited the dark cabin, Lin Jun, who had adapted to the darkness, opened his eyes, sat up gently, and untied the rope for himself.
"Wake up, wake up......" Lin Jun took out a small porcelain vase, put it under Gu Changning's nose and let her smell it, then carefully pushed her and called softly.
"What kind of smell ......" Gu Changning was awakened by a pungent smell, and was about to speak, but someone covered his mouth in time.
"Shhhhhhh Lin Jun hurriedly made a silent gesture to her, thinking that she might not be able to see in the dark, so he hurriedly said in a voice like an air.
Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, looked at the surrounding environment and suddenly remembered what had happened, and then shrunk his neck, and said in the same volume: "Aren't we unconscious?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Jun was concise and to the point.
"How do you ...... that?"
“…… My aunt and grandmother had heard that there were flower shooters in these towns, and they were afraid that I would fall for someone else's way, so they specially prepared them for me. ”
"Auntie and grandmother are wise!"
As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the elderly, you will suffer in front of you, and your aunt and grandmother are also prepared.
Look, isn't that what comes in handy?
No wonder Lin Jun often ran to his aunt's grandmother, it seems that his aunt really feels sorry for him.
Gu Changning said secretly in his heart.
"Hmm."
The boat moved slowly along the river, and the sound of the water "rattling" sounded.
Gu Changning first looked around, but found nothing, and then raised his head, tried to look through the gap between the wooden boards, and asked softly as he looked, "What should we do now?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, if you go down in the direction of that river, you'll pass through Donghuang Town." Lin Jun silently depicted the direction of the terrain in his heart.
Gu Changning thought for a moment and immediately asked, "You mean, this ship will stop at the dock in Donghuang Town?" ”
"Well, all ships that pass through the docks of Donghuang Town are subject to suspension and inspection, and this ship must be no exception."
"Wouldn't we be found soon, then?" Gu Changning's heart was overjoyed.
Lin Jun was silent and did not answer.
“…… Isn't it? Gu Changning asked nervously.
"If it's an ordinary ship, I'll probably inspect it carefully, but if it's related to the Cao Gang...... That's hard to say. ”
The Cao Gang was responsible for the transfer of grain from the south to the north and had a close relationship with the government.
If the Cao Gang had bribed the dock officials in advance, they would probably have turned a blind eye to let them pass during the inspection.
What's more, they may be released directly after two hasty glances, and they still can't be discovered.
After Gu Changning figured this out, his face sank.
The sun is gradually moving towards the western hills, and the sky is gradually darkening, and the surroundings are becoming quieter and quieter.
The boat sailed south along the current, the cabin was extremely silent, and Gu Changning could only faintly hear a few words of conversation and footsteps on the board when he pricked up his ears.
I don't know how long it took, the hull of the ship suddenly shook as if it had hit something, Gu Changning's eyes immediately widened, leaned towards Lin Junze, and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Jun carefully discerned the voice outside, tightened his brows and said, "It looks like I've arrived at the dock." ”
He heard the shouts of the workers carrying them.
"So, are we going to make some noise?" Gu Changning was startled and sat up straight.
"Let's see what happens." Lin Jun said calmly.
It's still unclear what the situation is outside, in case there are only Uncle He and his people on the ship, then even if there is a big movement from the dark cabin, it will only arouse the vigilance of the other party.
It is impossible to say that at this critical moment, in order not to expose the matter, they will also kill them and directly kill them in this dark cabin to prevent future troubles.
As someone boarded the ship, there was a noisy sound of talking outside the cabin, but it didn't take long for the sound to slowly get quieter, and seeing that the footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and when the ship was about to set sail, a more messy sound came, getting closer and closer to Gu Changning and them.
"Fence it off, fence it all up!"
Gu Changning heard someone shouting, because he couldn't see the situation outside, he didn't know if he was shouting at their ship, Gu Changning couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Should we make some noise?" ”
Lin Jun heard the footsteps of many people boarding the plank, and the boatman's incessant pleading, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "It's okay!" ”
"What are you doing here, my lord? We are all ships in charge of transporting grain from the Cao Gang, and we really don't have anything hidden. A dark-skinned boatman sneered.
Ye Yunhui turned a deaf ear, looked around the boat, and said to the patting flower who was in charge of leading the way: "Can you see clearly?" Is this ship right? ”
The hidden guard's pretended "Shoot Flowers" nodded, and said with great certainty: "Yes, that's right, it's this ship." ”
The man dressed as a boatman he could see clearly, he was one of the accomplices of the group!
The boatman who had told them to forgive him looked like he was going to search carefully, and the officers and men at the dock did not dare to stop him, so he quietly retreated to the wooden stake on the side, put his hand behind his back, and grasped the handle of the knife hidden in the wooden stake, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack when the situation was not good.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent knocking on the plank under his feet, and cries and cries for help could be faintly heard.
"Help! Help us! ”
"I miss Daddy, I miss Auntie......"
"Let us go home!"
Children's cries for help rang out one after another, and many people listened to them.
It turned out that Lin Jun saw the opportunity to wake everyone up, and then untied the rope for them and asked them to call for help to the people outside.
The boatman knew that he couldn't hide the matter anymore, so he immediately pulled out his big knife with a hideous face and rushed towards Ye Yunhui, who was closest to him.
He saw that Ye Yunhui was commanding those escort actions in a noble manner, knowing that his identity was valuable, and thought about holding him hostage first, so as to gain the slightest possibility of escape.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to approach Ye Yunhui, Ye Yunhui dodged his attack sideways, and then swung his fist at his face.
Taking advantage of his lack of reaction, he kicked off the knife in his hand, and in an instant, a guard immediately came over to capture the boatman and firmly protected Ye Yunhui's body.
"They're under the plank!" Ye Yunhui said with an anxious face.
Knowing the location, someone soon rescued the children in the dark cabin, and the guards of the Anguo Mansion found Ye Chaonian among them as soon as possible and immediately took him out.
"Grandfather......" Ye Chaonian looked at Ye Yunhui in a daze, shouted in a low voice, and saw his grandfather, who had always been resolute, instantly reddened.
"It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay" Ye Yunhui endured his excitement and took him over, and then looked coldly at the people captured by the guards, and said coldly, "Send them all to the government!" ”
"Yes!" The guards replied.
"Nian'er, I went home with my grandfather." Ye Yunhui touched Ye Chaonian's hot forehead, said soothingly, and then said to a guard, "Nian'er is still having a high fever, you go and call a carriage, and then rush back to the mansion directly to report to Mrs., and then ask a doctor to wait in the mansion to see a doctor for Young Master Sun." ”
The guards received the order, but Ye Chaonian suddenly moved.
"Grandfather, wait a minute......"
