Chapter 359: Overboard
Along with the stick, there was also an angry shout from Zhuang Rou who deliberately lowered her voice, "Daughter! ”
As soon as the man wanted to turn his head, he was knocked to the ground by her with a stick and passed out.
She rummaged over the man, found the key to the cabin, quickly opened the lock and pushed the door open, and almost bumped into a person head-on, and Dingqing saw that it was a woman in her twenties.
The little son of the An Wang family likes a sister who is older than him!
A thought suddenly appeared in Zhuang Rou's mind, and the woman seemed to be startled by her, and glanced out of the door in a bit of a panic.
"The man has been put down by me, hurry up and drag him in, I'll take you out." Zhuang Rou said quickly.
The fisherwoman looked at her in astonishment, and said nothing, as if she were a strange person.
Zhuang Rou also felt inexplicable when she looked at her, she didn't look like a ghost, why did she look so surprised?
"You know me?" She asked curiously.
The fisherwoman quickly waved her hand, "No, we don't know each other. I was just startled, I didn't expect someone to come to my rescue. ”
I see, the timid ordinary people are like this, Zhuang Rou can understand her feelings. So he hurried to drag the fainting man outside the door in, locked the door again, and then dragged the fisherwoman to the cabin where he was hiding.
She took out the pig's urine bubble and tied it to the fisherwoman, which made the fisherwoman a little helpless.
"What is this for, please?" The fisherwoman asked, puzzled.
Zhuang Rou said while tying up: "You should be able to swim, but I am afraid that you will not have the strength to swim back when you go into the water in the middle of the river, the waves are a bit big." There are these pig urine bubbles tied to your body, and you can be protected from sinking in the water. So you can swim to the shore, go back to your father, and find a new place to live. ”
The fisherwoman was silent for a moment, and then asked politely: "May I ask Engong's surname, if there is fate in the future, I will repay Engong's great kindness." ”
"It's just that why Eun Gong lives in the cabin, seeing that Eun Gong should be a rich and noble person, this clothing material is really good." She glanced at the cloak and water bag on the ground to eat, and could see that Zhuang Rou lived here.
Zhuang Rou was groping for pig urine bubbles on her body, and found that this fisherwoman had tendon flesh and was not as thin as she looked. She tilted her head slightly, and immediately smiled secretly, there may be such a coincidence in this world.
At this time, the pig urine bubble had been hung, so she patted the fisherwoman's back and said with a big grin: "My name is Zhuang Rou, borrow this boat to go out, you don't have to thank me." Da En is not grateful, I just can't look down on the people on this boat, before anyone comes, you can get off the boat quickly. ”
Zhuang Rou...... I wrote down the name of Eun Gong. The fisherwoman nodded.
Zhuang Rou had already opened the door at this time, and looked out, but the person who went to get the food had not come back, so he took the fisherwoman and walked out.
The cabin she was in was the lowest level, the upper floor, farther out of the water, where the boatman lived, and many of the rooms had air windows. There were two rooms with large windows that could be drilled out from there.
At this time, the boatmen were busy on the deck, and King An was setting up a feast, and everyone had to keep the ship steady. Otherwise, if he swept away King An's prosperity, even if his old man was not angry, King Baojun would be a guy who couldn't be provoked.
That man is a bully who wants to find something to bully men and women even if he is fine, and he will definitely find an excuse to make trouble, and maybe kill a few boatmen, after all, he has done this kind of thing no less.
The two came to the upper cabin, and Zhuang Rou pushed open a room that had been inspected earlier, there was no half of people in it, only two old wooden beds. The bedding was piled up on the bed, and the whole room smelled of sweat.
The fisherwoman couldn't help frowning, but Zhuang Rou didn't say a word, she stepped on someone else's bed directly, pulled the fishergirl up, pushed open the air window and squeezed her out.
"Engong, come with me, I have a boat, I can take you wherever you want to go." The fisherwoman grabbed the window frame and hurriedly said.
Zhuang Rou grabbed her hand and pushed her, "Your boat is too small, hurry up, it's too late." ”
The fisherwoman was pushed and shaken, and the hand holding the window frame was pulled away by Zhuang Rou, and the whole person fell into the river. The boat was high and the waves were high, and the sound of falling water did not disturb the others.
Zhuang Rou looked down, and only saw three or four round things floating on the surface of the river, which were pig urine bubbles and the fisherwoman's head. The person standing on the boat couldn't see it at all, and only thought it was a floating object on the river.
Seeing this, she closed the air window with confidence, pushed the door and walked out.
She avoided the people and went up to the deck, hid under the ship's building, and exclaimed, "Ah! Someone jumped into the river! ”
The sound was shrill and piercing, and immediately alarmed the boatmen and guards, who hurried to this direction. Zhuang Rou had already put on gloves, and at this time she had already grabbed the boat building and climbed up, and when the people came, she had already climbed into a room on the second floor.
The room was dark, but it was exquisitely furnished, it should be a room for a concubine or a young lady. She leaned against the window frame, looking down cautiously.
"Who jumped into the river! Quick, get all the lanterns! The guard looked into the river, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, so he immediately asked for a lamp.
Seven or eight lanterns were brought at once and illuminated the river beside the boat, and there was no one. But I could see in a daze, and there seemed to be something on the river in the distance.
At this time, several people ran over with torches and threw the tung oil torches in their hands into the water.
As the torch was thrown into the air and fell into the water, everyone clearly saw that a woman was floating on the water with three pig urine bubbles, swimming hard in the distance.
"Who's that? Yahuan? The crowd asked, puzzled.
But the torch fell into the water and was extinguished, and only the hairstyle was a woman, and the face of the river fell into darkness again.
The chief guard pointed to some of the shipwrights and said, "You go into the water and get the people up, maybe you are a fugitive slave." ”
"My lord, this river is too dark at night, and tonight's waves are fast and the water is cold, and people can't see it on the water, and there is no way to get it back when they go into the water." The boat boss quickly explained.
The guards who didn't know how to water might not have seen it, but the captain and the boatman saw that the pig's urine was blistered, and the man who fell into the water was carrying these things, and he knew at a glance that he had deliberately fled from the ship.
King An's Mansion has been doing well from top to bottom, where will you jump into the river here, the only thing that can want to jump into the river is the fisherwoman who was robbed by the river when King Baojun got on the boat.
Although the boat boss works for King An, he feels quite kind to the fishermen, who beg for food on the river.
I didn't dare to save people, but now that people are saving themselves and jumping into the river to survive, they will fall into the well and catch them back, it will be too inhuman.
He respectfully said to the chief of the guard: "My lord, the Suizhong River is turbulent, even if you are a good hand in the waves, you will be washed away if you go into the water." If you don't believe it, throw the torch again, and there will be no one on the water. ”
The guards frowned, they didn't understand water, and the boss of this ship was also the one who had been driving the ship for King An's Mansion for many years. On weekdays, they also deliver goods to the industries in the government, and it is not good to force them to go down to the river to save people.
Besides, there's no need to lie to them.
So, the chief of the guard waved his hand and said, "You continue to stare at the surface of the river to see if you can see anyone again, and I will report to the prince." ”
"Yes." The boss of the boat hurriedly answered, and immediately asked people to find bamboo poles, and probed into the river to pretend to find people. In his heart, he hoped that the fisherwoman would swim away quickly and escape safely.
