Chapter 456: A Trip to Jiangnan (2)

The boat is leisurely.

The scenery of the boat tour is a little different from what Gu Panxi imagined. During the day, the scenery is indeed infinite, with green mountains and green waters, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, but at night, with only the faint silver light sprinkled by the stars and moon, nothing can be seen around at all. According to the boatman, if the water is not gentle tonight, for the sake of safety, it is generally necessary to dock for most of the night.

That's right, it's really delusional to expect that like in the previous life, the banks of the river are still lit up in the middle of the night, and you can see the bright night scene.

However, there is no night view to see, but you can still see the stars overhead.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi lay on their backs on the top of the boat, holding hands and looking at the bright night sky overhead. Without the interference of artificial light, the stars and moon in the sky retain the purest light, allowing people to truly feel the magnificence of the universe.

"Well, if only I could be so nice every day."

Gu Panxi muttered, and shrank back into Shi Feiqing's arms.

"Cold?"

Gu Panxi shook his head and said with a smile: "I just want to hold it tighter." ”

Shi Feiqing understood, immediately endured the pain of the wound, and reached out to hug Gu Panxi tighter.

The two were speechless again, silently staring at the stars and moon in the sky.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

Liu Qingyan, Mu Wanwan and the others were all sleeping in the cabin below at the moment. Although men and women don't kiss, Mu Wanwan doesn't seem to mind this matter at all, so Liu Qingyan, Liuchuan, Zhao Zhong and Gu Yuefei still obediently slept in a cabin with Mu Wanwan after some pushback.

The boat that Liuchuan found is said to have been a wealthy passenger ship in the south of the Yangtze River, which was fully equipped, but it was only later that the family road fell in the middle of the road, so it was vacated for rent, so as to earn some bits and pieces to help make up for the family.

Just when Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were listening to the sound of gurgling water, bathing in the light of the stars and moon sprinkled on the dome, and enjoying the jealous tranquility, a sharp sound penetrated into their ear sockets.

"Help......

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi sat up abruptly when they heard the sound, Shi Feiqing touched the wound because of this action, and a sharp pain made him frown, but he didn't make a sound.

Gu Panxi pressed his hands on the top of the cabin, followed the sound and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw a firelight flickering not far from the river. The light of the fire was still floating along the river. If there is no accident, I am afraid that it is a ship not far from them.

"Feiqing, is the telescope on you?"

Gu Panxi's tone was a little anxious, Shi Feiqing didn't dare to slack off, and quickly took out the telescope from his arms and handed it to Gu Panxi.

Gu Panxi took the binoculars, glanced in the direction of the firelight, and sure enough, he saw the outline of a medium-sized ship.

There was a cry for help from the top of the nocturnal ship, and you didn't have to think about it to know what terrible things had happened up there.

Gu Panxi returned the telescope to Shi Feiqing, let him take a look at it too, and said hurriedly: "Feiqing, I'm afraid that the ship will encounter some trouble." ”

Shi Feiqing nodded, and said categorically: "You can't see death without help." ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too."

As he spoke, Gu Panxi neatly fell back to the deck from the top of the cabin, shook the drowsy boatman, and urged: "Boatman, there is a ship not far away that is in trouble, you hurry up and let the boat get closer, we have to help them!" ”

As soon as the boatman heard Gu Panxi's request, he came to his senses, his face was embarrassed, and he said with fear and embarrassment: "Madam, those who dare to rob the boat at night are all outlaws!" We didn't meet it, we should be secretly glad that we should hurry up and slip away, why did Madame take the initiative to touch it......"

The implication is that

He didn't want to wade into the muddy waters.

Gu Panxi can understand that this boatman only earns three meals by sailing, and has no obligation to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven. She pressed the boatman's shoulder and persuaded: "Boatman, don't worry, one, Mrs. Ben promises not to let you get into danger." Second, after this incident, Mrs. Ben will give you double the fare. How is it? ”

"Double the fare?"

Move it with affection, know it with profit, Gu Panxi's move has always been invincible and unfavorable.

The boatman was a little moved, and confirmed it once: "Madame said that after the incident, she would give the villain sixty taels of silver?" ”

Gu Panxi's eyes widened, a little unhappy.

Liuchuan negotiated with this boatman, obviously the charter is eight taels a day, twenty-four taels a day, and the doubling is only forty-eight taels of silver.

However, this boatman wanted to deceive Gu Panxi, probably thinking that she, who was a wife, would not ask about the fare, so he didn't know the negotiated price at all, so he thought about fishing in troubled waters and fishing for a handful of oil and water.

Gu Panxi can understand the hard work of these low-level people, but he can't be the wronged and let them cheat.

Indignant, Gu Panxi grabbed the boatman's ears and said angrily: "Old man, Mrs. Ben has been kind to you, but you are still playing tricks with Mrs. Ben, and you want to defraud Mrs. Ben of more twelve taels of silver, right?" Don't! After the deed is completed, forty-eight taels of silver, Mrs. Ben will let her hands give it to her, but now, you will honestly do the errand for Mrs. Ben! ”

This boatman has also seen a lot of Mrs. Kuo, but he has never encountered such a sharp and tricky Gu Panxi, and when he was scolded by Gu Panxi's ears, he suddenly panicked, and no longer dared to ask for a price, and responded obediently: "Yes, yes, the villain will do it!" ”

Gu Panxi did not stop there, but personally stood by the boatman's side, watching him drive the boat to the shipwrecked ship approach.

At this time, Shi Feiqing had already woken up Liu Qingyan, Mu Wanwan and others. Everyone gathered on the deck, and after hearing Shi Feiqing's explanation, they all cheered up, drew their weapons one after another, and entered a state of readiness.

Just when the ship of Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party was close to the distance of about four or five hulls of the shipwrecked ship, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party could already see the figure on the shipwrecked ship.

There were nine or ten people coming and going, and there were probably four or five people crawling on the deck. Because these people are gathered together, it is difficult to distinguish the exact number.

Since Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and their entourage could see the figure on the shipwrecked ship, the other party naturally noticed that they were approaching. The reaction on the other side was very fast, so fast that he didn't say a word, he simply drew his bow and arrows, and launched an attack on the ship that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were riding.

The flying arrow dragged a blood-red tail out of the air. Shi Feiqing saw it, and when he came over, he understood what it was, and simply ordered: "It's a rocket!" Don't let these arrows fall on the ship! ”

Obviously, the person who attacked the shipwrecked ship must have been an experienced veteran, and he had prepared rockets that ordinary people would not have obtained at all, but in the event of a water battle, they could cause great deterrence to the enemy.

Fortunately, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi are not a rabble. Not only are all of them highly skilled (except for Gu Panxi, who is a brain), but they are all experienced people who have personally killed the enemy on the battlefield.

In the face of the rocket attack, Shi Feiqing, Mu Wanwan, Liu Qingyan, Liuchuan and Zhao Zhong stood in four places on the boat, which happened to be connected into a line that was enough to run through the bow to the stern. With their quick eyes and quick hands, they used their long swords to knock all the falling rockets into the water.

When these rockets fell, they fell like moths to a fire in the dark river, causing only sporadic sounds.

The number of people on the opposite side is only ten at most, and only half of them are drawing bows and arrows, in other words, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's side are equal to the number of enemies in this air attack and defense, and the fight is purely hand-to-hand effort. At this point, why is Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi ahead of the other side? Because of this rocket offensive, it failed to pose a threat to Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's side at all.

Rao was like this, and the boatman in charge of the ship was still frightened, and shrank in the corner with his head in his hands, muttering: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" I just want to eat two bites! ”

The boatman was so frightened that he cowered to the side, and the boat naturally stopped.

Gu Panxi gritted his teeth, went over and kicked the boatman gently, and said angrily: "Old man, get up quickly!" You really don't want to die, so let Mrs. Ben steer the boat over there! When we go up and subdue each other, we'll be fine. If you're so scared that you don't do anything to drag us back, Mrs. Ben will kick you into the river, do you hear?! ”

When the boatman heard Gu Panxi threatening to kick him into the river, he got up in amazement and continued to drive the boat closer to the shipwrecked. But by tea time, the two sides were close enough to stab the opposite side of the ship with the tip of their swords.

Liu Qingyan and Mu Wanwan took the lead, shouting "Senior brother Rose, I'll go up first", and then flew up and jumped straight onto the shipwrecked ship. The two of them happened to be standing at the bow and stern of the ship, and when they landed on the shipwrecked ship, they naturally happened to land on the bow and stern. As soon as the two men were firmly on the deck, they rushed towards each other, forming a trap, like two bloody whirlwinds, beating the bandits on the shipwrecked ship to pieces.

Because of the attack of Liu Qingyan and Mu Wanwan, the rocket offensive launched by the bandits on the shipwrecked ship immediately stopped. Liuchuan and Zhao Zhong, who had their hands free, also flew up to assist Liu Qingyan and Mu Wanwan. Only Gu Yuefei was the only one who consciously stayed, protecting Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi.

Gu Panxi hugged Shi Feiqing nervously and asked, "How is it, just now I carried the sword to hit the rocket, did I get a wound?" ”

Shi Feiqing smiled and said, "It's okay for my husband." But his lips were faintly white, and it was clear that he was lying.

Gu Panxi was angry, anxious and distressed, stomped his feet, and said angrily: "You guys, remember to keep your mouth alive!" Mrs. Ben is going to torture and torture these outlaws! ”

When the gang of outlaws heard this, they all panicked, except for the few who had been subdued and had nothing to do, the three or four people who could still move all jumped into the river without looking back, obviously trying to escape.

Liu Qingyan and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt that there was no need to chase after them, although they felt that it was a pity, they still let the three of them escape. Anyway, this turmoil has been solved by them, and as Gu Panxi wished, they caught a live mouth that could be used for torture.

Seeing that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party were so extraordinary, the boatman who was originally afraid of it was even more afraid of death, for fear that he would be settled by the autumn queen because he just wanted to defraud Gu Panxi of twelve taels of silver, as well as the two things that he had instructed her to do more than twelve taels of silver, and that he would be settled by the queen of autumn. The boatman first stopped the ship in front of the shipwrecked ship one foot away, and then took out the board for boarding and put it between the two ships.

"Sir, madam, please!"

Seeing the flattering smile piled up by the boatman, Gu Panxi was funny and angry, where did he not know what he was planning? White-eyed, he said, "Okay, you've done your duty." Afterwards, Mrs. Ben will not only give you double the fare, but also give you an additional two taels of silver. ”

After that, Gu Panxi and Gu Yuefei helped Shi Feiqing walk across the board of the ship and went up to the deck of the shipwrecked ship.

To Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's astonishment, the passengers on the shipwrecked ship turned out to be a group of ......
