Chapter 210: Old Man Xia assists
According to the above explanation, any suspicious person or suspicious place can not be let go, passing by and seeing an old man who bought cakes, he habitually asked.
Xia Laohan was about to turn around and leave with the cake, and when he heard the other party's contemptuous tone, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "It's your business!" "He is the most annoying to others, and he has nothing to greet him, and he is an unfamiliar person, even if it is the emperor Laozi, he doesn't want to deal with it.
Hey, this old man is pretty sideways.
"How are you going to talk to our leader?" One of his subordinates couldn't see it, and he was a threat to Xia Laohan.
Xia Laohan ignored it at all and prepared to get on the boat directly.
When this team saw Xia Laohan being so rude, they were really excited, and they really wanted to see what was on his ship.
Wu Mian, who was listening to the general situation next to him, couldn't help but shudder, how could this dead old man make trouble at such a critical time, and he was so honest in normal times, in case Li Jicai was found out, then this little broken boat must not be turned upside down?
He is now in the water, although he can swim and escape, but after two days of starvation, he has long had no strength, and as long as he is discovered, he will definitely be caught.
Wu Mian panicked.
At this time, Xia Laohan spoke again: "What are you doing?!" I don't care about you! "The old drunkards who drink alcohol all year round have a smell of alcohol that cannot be removed from the breath spraying, which is very smoky, which makes these officers and soldiers feel disliked when they see it.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
The surrounding people saw that Xia Laohan had provoked the officers and soldiers, and they all stood up to persuade them, and most of them shouted at Xia Laohan to stop talking.
The owner of the cake shop also came out to play a round with a smile, saying that Xia Laohan has been single for many years and has a strange temper, and the officials have to take care of it more.
But it didn't work.
Seeing that this small group of people was about to run to his bed parked by the river to search, Xia Laohan quit, he rushed directly to his boat, and then lay down in the place, whoever wanted to board his boat had to step over him. This is a scoundrel on the street.
In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, this was tantamount to Diao Min's behavior, and Xia Laohan's performance made them even more annoyed.
Wu Mian, who was hiding in the bow of the boat, didn't know what was going on outside, there was no movement, and he couldn't help but be very anxious, what happened, why didn't he speak again? Is it already on board?
However, quietly, no one could respond to him, and it was useless for Wu Mian to worry about it, so he could only tense his nerves and wait quietly.
Either they were discovered and caught by these officers and soldiers, or they were lucky enough to escape by accident.
Old Xia was lying on the ground and refused to get up, holding his two freshly bought cakes tightly in his hands, still hot.
Those officers and soldiers were also angry when they saw Xia Laohan's refusal to give in, thinking that you, a bad old man, are still against the people of our government.
Then I'm going to give him some color today.
Just as these officers and soldiers were about to step on Xia Laohan's body and walk to the boat.
And Xia Laohan saw that these officers and soldiers refused to let go of his ship, and he was always ready to attack them once they came.
Who's afraid of whom? may be because the strength of the wine has not completely passed, so Xia Laohan is not afraid at all.
Of course, there is no shortage of people who have watched the excitement.
Suddenly, there was a tapping sound not far away. A man came in a hurry on horseback.
In a vague way, Wu Mian seemed to have heard something "Nancheng" or something, but he didn't hear it very clearly.
Later, after a while, there was no major movement around, and Wu Mian wondered if those officers and soldiers had already boarded the boat.
Just as he was panicking and wanted to take more of his head to check what was going on outside, someone stepped onto the boat.
The vibration caused by the footsteps on the boat came, and Wu Mian hurriedly retracted his head in fright.
After a while, the boat started slightly, and slowly drifted away with Wu Mian's body under the water.
The big stone on Wu Mian's heart suddenly fell, and he sighed heavily, fortunately, it was okay, it was okay.
There is a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
The fact that the officers and men did not come to the ship meant that he was safe for the time being.
He also felt that it was very likely to be discovered this time, if a bunch of officers and soldiers came on the ship, they would definitely find it, and if Xia Laohan turned over the wooden box in the cargo ship, he would also be able to find the woman.
But Xia Laohan's broken ship is too dilapidated, there are even holes in the walls, and there is nothing visible to the naked eye, only a few boxes are stacked there, and it doesn't look like two people are hidden.
So after the officers and soldiers looked around on the shore for a while, and someone reported that there was an accident in Nancheng and someone needed to hurry to reinforce them, so they gave up and confronted a bad old man.
He turned around and left.
Coincidentally, Wu Mian and them were found out just a little bit.
I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, but my luck was pretty good.
In this way, Xia Laohan ate cakes, stood at the stern of the boat while holding the boat with bamboo artemisia, and slowly drove towards the ferry outside the city.
Because he was a bad old man, and he was propping up a small broken ship, he didn't attract anyone's attention.
The expression on his face was not unusual, he was very calm, and even blew a whistle halfway. Wu Mian, who was staying under the boat, was in a much more relaxed mood by Xia Laohan.
Wu Mian had been observing his surroundings, and he remembered that before reaching the ferry, there was a river beach, which was full of lush reeds about a man high through the reeds, and from a plain, the plain used to be a mountain forest.
By the shade of the reeds they were able to escape.
Success is just around the corner. But there is also the problem that he hid Lee Ji Cai in the wooden box, unless he jumped on the boat, then moved the wooden box, and then jumped off the river and took Lee Ji Cai with him.
Otherwise, he could only watch Xia Laohan arrive at the ferry with Li Jicai, and then exchange goods.
And Xia Laohan had no idea that there were two living people hiding on his ship. If Wu Mian suddenly appeared, would he be scared half to death?
Poor Xia Laohan is also not easy.
But the flow of these goods, even Wu Mian himself does not know where it will go.
And it's even more unlikely that he will follow this cargo around, so he still has to give it a try.
When Xia Laohan was not paying attention, Wu Mian surfaced from under the water, because the boat was always moving, so the sound of the splash was also normal, and Xia Laohan was not very good at his ears when he was old, just standing at the stern of the boat while rowing, while looking at the distant scenery.
The scenery from the moat to the ferry is the most moving, and now the autumn sky is high and the golden sun is spreading, from the gilded gate tower to the river jumping with golden waves, and the beautiful and prosperous fields in the distance.
Passing by the golden and bright persimmon trees with all the leaves falling but the fruits are full of trees, the red and bright persimmon trees, Xia Laohan is very greedy for this persimmon forest, I don't know which family planted it, and I don't know how to pick it, so it hangs a special hook.
But Xia Laohan is also self-aware, he knows that he can't pick blindly by himself, after all, it is someone else's thing.
But every time I walk here, I just think about it.
But what Xia Laohan didn't expect was that a person on the bow of his boat quietly climbed up.
Wu Mian was very thin and lightweight, and he tried his best to support the bow of the boat with his palms, and climbed up with the rhythm of the boat's movement.
And Xia Laohan, who was standing at the stern of the boat and riding the boat, was still at a loss.
Wu Mian hesitated, he didn't know, at this time, he knocked Xia Laohan unconscious in advance, or secretly moved the box, as long as he jumped into the water with the box in his arms, and then swam away to the shore, he should be able to run away, but the box was very heavy after entering the water, and he might not be able to pull it.
Therefore, Wu Mian finally decided that he would attack Xia Laohan first.
first knocked Xia Laohan unconscious, then rowed the boat to the shore, and then left with the woman.
So it was decided.
Poor Xia Laohan did not take the slightest danger and was quietly approaching him.
Wu Mian is naturally very experienced, he can walk on the wall, and his movements are light like a cat, and it is not difficult for him to attack others and cause them to fall unconscious.
In this way, Wu Mian quietly and quietly, bent over and approached Xia Laohan step by step, and before Xia Laohan could react, he rushed out of the cabin directly, and was a splitter at the back of Xia Laohan's neck.
Xia Laohan's eyes widened in fright, and he was thrown on the board by Wu Mian in a trembling state, and then he fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him.
Before closing his eyes, he saw a man who attacked him and snatched the bamboo wormwood from his hand.
Murder and stealing ships?
Such an idea suddenly popped into Xia Laohan's head. It's a pity that he really thought wrong, Wu Mian wouldn't steal such a small broken ship if he wanted to.
Looking at this, the old man who exudes a strange smell all over his body and grabs his eyebrows and mustache. A little guilty, but this is no way, everyone is trying to make a living.
dragged Xia Laohan into the cabin, and then Wu Mian walked out, picked up the bamboo artemisia that he had just snatched and did not fall into the river, and Wu Mian began to prop up the boat himself.
As a baby in the mountains, he really didn't know how to hold the boat, and he paddled with the bamboo artemisia for a long time, and the boat was still spinning in place.
After tossing for a while, there was no sign of marching, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
I am worried that there will be other boats on this river, and if they are discovered, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. So he needs to get out of here as soon as possible.
In the end, Wu Mian, who had no choice but to go into the water again to feel the feeling of the cold river, and then pulled the boat to the shore by the way.
Fortunately, the boat was not very heavy, Wu Mian went ashore, tied a place on the boat with a rope before, and then pulled the boat to the shore hard.
After a lot of effort, Wu Mian finally pulled the boat to the shore. Then jumped on the boat, fished out Li Jicai who was hiding in the wooden box, untied the sack, and went to explore Li Jicai's snort as soon as possible, if he found that he was already a dead man, then there was no need to take it away, it was a pure waste of time.
