Back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

"Wait, hey—" Before Sisi could speak, the man left, a wicked smile on his lips, and locked them in the dark cabin.

The more Si Si thought about it, the more strange he felt, especially the last smile of the man.

It's definitely not that simple.

Si Si helped Lu Yan to the corner, fed him a few sips of fresh water, tore off a corner of his clothes, and dipped the water in the bowl to clean the wound on his right shoulder.

In the current situation, whether Lu Yan is a good person or a bad person, they are all grasshoppers tied to a rope, and he is the only one who can help him.

"What do you think? Are you awake? ”

Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and it took a while to get used to the darkness in front of him, and he asked Si Si, "Are we on the boat?" ”

Si Si nodded and said, "It's in the cabin, but I don't think it's right, he deliberately tricked us into getting on the ship." ”

"I expected that." Lu Yan didn't have time to think too much, there were bursts of heart-piercing pain in his shoulder, he was really burning uncomfortably, cold for a while and hot for a while.

Si Si grabbed the herbs behind him and asked him, "I asked the salt seller for some herbs, do you know me?" Which one can save you? ”

Said to be an herb, it was clearly a ball of hay, and in the dark Lu Yan could only grope with his hands, he intuitively pulled out a handful of dry branches, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and let Si Si soak them in water and mash them, and apply them to his wounds.

Si Si did everything, and by the time she finished applying the medicine, she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids, and she and Lu Yan fell asleep in the cabin.

I don't know how long later, with a violent jolt in the cabin, Si Si woke up.

"Lu Yan?" There was darkness in front of him, Si Si tentatively called him, and suddenly a hand touched her cheek, with a little smell of dried herbs, Si Si recognized that it was Lu Yan.

She was just about to get up, but Lu Yan pressed her shoulder.

Squeak –

The door opened, and the salt seller walked in with two steamed buns and brought them food.

Lu Yan appeared behind him at some point, slammed the knife at the back of his neck, and with a muffled sound, the salt dealer fell in front of Si Si's eyes.

Si Si was stunned, and the first reaction in his mind was: Since Lu Yan is a doctor who knows martial arts, how could he be forced to jump into the sea by the patient's family?

"Follow me, don't be afraid." Lu Yan lowered his voice to call her, and even stretched out his hand to her.

Si Si hesitated for a moment, then shook his hand back.

It was also at this moment that she recognized Lu Yan as a friend from her heart.

The lower deck was filled with the smell of rotting wood, most of which was used to store smuggled salt, only the exit was guarded by two people, and Lu Yan and Sisi escaped smoothly.

Just as they were studying the next countermeasure, Si Si inadvertently turned around, and found that a pair of eyes were staring at her in the hidden cabin door next to her, she didn't have time to be surprised, and was suddenly pushed into the cabin by Lu Yan.

"Someone is coming, hide in first!" Lu Yan closed the hatch and was stunned when he turned around.

I didn't expect there to be more than a dozen people locked up in the small cabin!

"You were also taken hostage?"

The voice of the man who speaks is very unique, and the pronunciation of the words is light and fluttering, and he is a singer when he listens to it.

"Who are you?" Sisi asked him.

The person who spoke was called Cheng Ruiyun, it turned out that this group of people was a local opera troupe in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they wanted to go to the capital to enter the palace to sing opera, so they rented this magnificent boat, who knew that the boatman was actually an accomplice of the salt dealer, collected their money, and imprisoned them in the cabin.

If they are caught by the government in the southeast, the salt dealers will take them hostage to negotiate with the government, and if they want to live together, even if they die, they will have to pull a dozen backs.

Si Si's heart was cold after hearing this, they thought they could deceive the salt dealers, but in the end they were deceived by the salt dealers.

"You can go, they don't blink!" Cheng Ruiyun reminded Sisi in a low voice.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lu Yan suddenly said in Si Si's ear: "Follow me." ”

The two took advantage of the fact that the patrols were not paying attention, and quietly slipped into the salt cabin, and Lu Yan used an iron rod to pry loose the bottom plank, and after a while, the sea water seeped in, and there were water stains under the feet of the two.

After a few more pries, water droplets bubbled up.

Lu Yan turned to Si Si and said: "The girl's life-saving grace Lu Yan remembers in my heart, but my right hand can't use my strength, I can't defeat them, this plan can be done, if it can't be done, you don't blame me-"

Si Si was a little moved, and said briskly: "I have identified you as a friend!" If you can escape, I will take you to make money and live a good life, and if you can't escape, I will accept my fate! ”

Lu Yan thought she was very funny and smiled slowly, "What's your name?" ”

"Sisi."

The patrol men soon discovered that the cabin was leaking, and the couple who were in the leather business were gone, and the boss was surprised, but he was not worried about the couple's ghost, but about the salt in which cabin under the ship!

That's his life's work, and if it continues, it will all flow into the sea!

"There are several places where there is water leaking, we don't have enough manpower, the lower level is already soaked, but it won't sink the ship, it's-"

"Dock, as fast as you can!" The boss kicked down one of his subordinates and grabbed the collar of another, "Tell them to bring up the salt from the lower layer first, you bunch of waste!" ”

Lu Yan and Si Si hid in the large box containing salt respectively, and were carried to the upper deck by their men.
