Chapter 551: Too Cunning
"This time, as long as you go back safe and sound, everything has tea, after all, there are only a few capable people, let's check them one by one. And if the other party is unwilling, he will inevitably send someone again. Closing the door, Qingwu let out a sigh, but the clothes on his body were almost wet.
Lin Huiru couldn't help but sneeze, which also reminded Qingwu.
"Okay, it's not early, let's sleep in a different room, if you don't change your clothes, your beautiful lady will be infected with the cold." Qingwu teased, and then he sneezed, picked up the burden on the bed, pushed the door and walked out.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent." Xu Ziqiao hurriedly went over to help Lin Huiru wipe some rain from his hair, and his face was full of guilt.
Lin Huiru shook his head, and also got up with Xu Ziqiao and went back to the room, "I know you are also in a hurry to investigate this matter, but what he said also makes sense, don't be too nervous first, survive this storm, and everything will pass." After this recent trip, she finally understood that only the capital is the safest place.
When he was sleeping, Xu Ziqiao gently helped Lin Huiru cover his ears, and he closed his eyes and kept vigilant at all times, just in the middle of the night, when he was used to the sound outside and was drowsy, a thought flashed in his mind, which made his whole person wake up.
Lin Huiru was also woken up by him, raised his head and rubbed his eyes, "What's wrong?" β
Without saying more, Xu Ziqiao rushed out of the door. He'd been feeling something was wrong since he slept, and now he finally understood what was making him feel wrong.
It's too quiet, it's obviously a time to panic, and many people didn't look good just now, but now it's so quiet, it's strange to think about it.
On both the first and second floors, even the most crowded cabins were surprisingly quiet, and there were even a few water stains on the floor that came out of the room, presumably because the windows were not closed properly.
Xu Ziqiao frowned and pushed the door in, but the next moment he blocked his hand in front of Lin Huiru's eyes, Lin Huiru frowned, and he could probably guess what happened without opening his mouth, "Dead?" β
"Hmm... Let's go out first and then look somewhere else. Xu Ziqiao pulled Lin Huiru out of the cabin, pushed open the door of his brother's room all the way, and as expected, he saw that his face was black or his neck was blood-red.
After some investigation, there were almost no survivors on the entire ship, and even many of the ship's long-term workers and captains died, and for a while, it seemed that there were only a few of them left on the ship.
Xu Ziqiao escorted Lin Huiru back upstairs, he called Qingwu and Bai Qianyi up, and after telling them the following situation, both of them frowned.
"This man is too cunning, he wants us to die, but he can't beat us and is injured, so he simply killed a boatload of people to bury us." Lin Huiru's brows wrinkled a big pimple, this method is cruel enough, now even the captain and the on-the-ship attack are dead, even if they can escape the storm, there is absolutely no way to drive the ship back.
Qingwu sighed lightly, "It's really not a good thing to be with you, I can come up with this way, that person is also smart and hot, and now I don't need to look for that person, I may have already committed suicide by jumping into the sea, let's think about it first, how to go back if we can survive." β
The ships that pass through this route are indeed every day, maybe they can wait here for a day or two to be able to meet the merchants, and it would be a good idea to take a boat over when the time comes, but as soon as Lin Huiru said, Qingwu smiled, "Don't be naΓ―ve, since you want to kill people, how can you not think of what to do with people coming again, maybe now a hole has been opened under the cabin and is pouring water into it." There is also a ship anchored in the water, which is sure that we will die. β
Lin Huiru chuckled in his heart, Bai Qianyi immediately got up and went down to investigate the situation, and when he came back, his face was even more solemn, "There are holes, but it's not a big problem, it should be because the hull is sturdy, and there is not much gap, it should still be okay to hold on for a long time." β
"Half a day...... But I can't wait for people to come, and it's at least a day away. Xu Ziqiao rubbed his chin, this person's approach is much more difficult than Tang Junyi's.
"You can't drive away, you can't run, it's better to write a suicide note and wait for death, but in this case, no one may be able to see the suicide note." Qingwu said, with a look of regret on his face, but there was no fear or regret, more like he was joking.
Xu Ziqiao didn't have such a good attitude, "Don't be kidding, think of a way." β
"I'm not kidding, do you think there's anything you can do at this time? The wind and waves outside have no intention of stopping, if it is on land, I can still find the flying eagle to send a message, but now in the sea, there are still wind and waves. You say, what else can be done? Don't reply angrily.
Looking at the solemn atmosphere, Bai Qianyi let out a sigh of relief, "I'll go find something first to see if I can fill up the hole, and if I can delay it for a while, it will be a while." β
After a night, the wind and waves subsided, but the weather outside was still foggy, and even a light rain. The strength of the four of them was simply not enough to lift the anchor, and visibility was now so low that only the ship could be seen in front of them.
The only good news is that the hole under the boat has been filled, and although it can't be without any gaps, it will at least last a little longer.
"Go down, I'm just afraid that the ships coming from behind will collide." Xu Ziqiao frowned and looked at the navigation route map in the cabin, and couldn't help but gasp.
Qingwu also hugged his arms beside him, and his face had long lost the momentum of the previous hanging, "There are two possibilities, one is that they are safe and sound but pass by us, and the other is that he can notice us, but it should be too late when he sees us, if the two ships are Zhuang Xing, there will be more than a few of us who will be killed at that time, either they will die or be buried with more people." β
He was telling the truth. Lin Huiru couldn't help but sit on the chair and gently beat her head with her hand, now in this situation, not only could she not help with anything, but also couldn't think of any way, this sense of powerlessness made her feel extremely depressed. Moreover, the food on the ship has also been poisoned, and their current rations are all sea fish, and the situation is extremely embarrassing.
"Well, take a hand, collect the corpses on the ship and throw them down, and there are some unnecessary things, first, to reduce the weight of the ship, and second, if there are corpses floating around, maybe someone will notice this." Bai Qianyi, who had been silent, spoke, although this method was not good, but ......
