Chapter 105: The Road is Narrow

The maid came back and said that Miss Shi was no different, she probably didn't hear the commotion in the front cabin. Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief. The three small troubles of the Li family are just that, if Shi Xiu also makes trouble, then things are bad. The three of the Li family are so good that the two of them can still train and manage, Shi Xiu, can they train or manage? It's really tofu that fell into the ash heap - you can't blow it, you can't beat it.

Xiao Dong felt that the time was very difficult, and when it was almost dark, Qin Lie sent the man ashore, both of them were full of alcohol, and the sound of laughter spread far away on the river.

When Qin Lie came back, his steps were particularly heavy, and his face was ugly, as if the person with a heroic and hearty laugh just now had nothing to do with him at all. Xiao Dong hurriedly asked people to bring him the prepared decanting soup, it was sour and hot, Qin Lie drank two bowls in a row, sweated, and sighed and said, "It's really hard to deal with." ”

Xiao Dong handed him a hot hand towel: "How did you know this person?" It doesn't look like a good class. ”

"I only met after a fight. The first time I ran this road was when Brother Wanlong took me," he wiped his face twice: "Oh, Brother Wanlong is the native father." Huiyan didn't have such a beautiful scenery at that time, but dozens of people, and half of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and one of them was subdued by Brother Wanlong. However, the people in this area of their Fenglin Crossing are very grouped, and it will not be difficult to kill them, but it will be extremely difficult to pass from here again in the future. Therefore, he did not rush to kill them all, and later our ships and goods passed through here, and he was never embarrassed. I've been through a few times, and my friendship with him is mediocre. He can't move me easily, and I don't want to grudge with him, so I give him half of it every time. ”

It turned out to be this kind of friendship.

In this way, it is no wonder that Qin Lie is not surprised. After all, doing business is to seek money in harmony, and you have to deal with such people.

"The ship that followed us ......"

"Oh, they are borrowing our light, after all, anyone can calculate the loss of paying 20% of the goods and the whole ship being robbed. However, most of their ships are private goods, and they can't lose even if they are drawn 20%. Qin Lie rubbed his face: "I'll go out to sleep, I drank too much today, don't make trouble at night and you won't be able to sleep well." ”

Xiao Dong rubbed his forehead for him and said softly: "This person has the same eyes as a wolf, and he feels very unreliable." ”

"Hmm...... But if you don't go from here, you have to go around hundreds of miles, and the mountain road is still very rugged and difficult, and many goods cannot be transported at all. ”

"I heard that people say that he is like this, right?"

Qin Lie smiled and gently pressed his hand on the back of Xiao Dong's hand: "I scared you today, right?" I didn't see him the first two times, but last night he sent me a letter saying that he wanted to talk to me. I don't feel at ease when I go to his place, who knows that if he comes over, things will be more troublesome. ”

"By the way," Xiao Dong asked, "he...... Have you taken a fancy to the stone girl? ”

"Yes, when I was drinking just now, he said that he had sent someone to deliver a message to me, just to ask me to help find someone. He didn't know who Shi Xiu's surname was, but from the accent, he could tell that she and I should be fellow villagers. Results ......"

"And now, what did he say?"

"I said that Shi Xiu is not from our family, and I can't be her master. He's been in a good mood all the time. Anyway, I know who it is and where he lives, he ......"

Although Shi Xiu and Xiao Dong are still hostile, Xiao Dong will not think that it is a good thing for her to marry a robber leader.

She wants to get married, and of course Xiaodong will be happy. But Shi Xiu is still on their ship, which means that they have to be responsible for Shi Xiu. Doesn't marrying her to a robber leader who kills people and exfiltrates people into the fire pit?

This kind of thing, even if Xiao Dong practices for another ten or eight years, she can't do it. Besides, it was impossible for Qin Lie to do this. He has no love for Shi Xiu, but he has a brother-sister relationship. Besides, in this era, the friendship of the master is sometimes worthy of the kindness of his parents, how can Qin Lie be sorry for his master?

They can't agree, but will that Hyeyeon let go?

This kind of predatory person will understand what it means to be difficult to not be strong? Will you understand what it means to retreat in the face of difficulties?

"Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything to me. Brother Li's daughter and son are on the boat, if he makes a move, he will have a mortal enemy, and we have enough manpower on the ship, you can sleep at night, and we will drive the boat on the road on the fourth watch. ”

"Hmm. You also have to be careful. ”

Although Qin Lie said this, when Xiaodong fell asleep at night, he hesitated and did not take off his clothes. Only the bun was removed, combed into a braid, and then lay down with a coat. At night, the river was colder than during the day, and Xiao Dong thought that she might not be able to sleep, but after a while, she fell asleep, and she slept very deeply. 、

On the boat, the water fluctuated, and I was not used to it at first, and I always felt unsteady and unstable. In the past, I slept on a very solid bed, and the bed was placed on a more solid floor. But after getting used to it, the hull is slightly undulating and turbulent, but there is a particularly reassuring rhythm. There was also a gentle sound of water, whoosh, whoosh, like a gently rocking the cradle and patting it on the body.

She vaguely heard movement outside, and then someone pushed her, anxiously calling: "County Lord, County Lord wake up." ”

Xiao Dong suddenly had a palpitation and opened his eyes.

Mother Hu was standing in front of the bed, her face unprecedentedly heavy.

Xiao Dong only saw the Hu family lose their composure once, that is, during the rebellion of King Jingjun.

It's quiet all around...... However, in the sound of the water waves, there are vaguely other sounds.

It shouldn't have been dawn yet, but it was bright and shiny on the porthole. Xiao Dong glanced at Hu, Hu pushed the window open, and Xiao Dong looked out.

In the darkness along the banks of the river, the tall and short were all lit by firelight, and I don't know how many people had surrounded them for thousands of miles.

Xiao Dong only felt that his scalp was numb. With so many people, even if they didn't rush over and kill people, but only threw torches and the wooden boat caught fire, it would be certain death.

"These people ......" Xiao Dong's voice was hoarse: "What about Qin Lie?" ”

"Uncle just talked to their leader, and I don't know why these people came."

Xiao Dong didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he still comforted Hu Shi in turn: "Mom, don't worry, if they want to kill people and sell goods, they will kill them a long time ago, and they are not here to kill people." ”

Hu Shi nodded: "What the county lord said is true." ”

But even so, the fear in the hearts of the two did not diminish at all.

Xiao Dong couldn't help but guess, such a big battle is for money? No, what are you doing in this frame for money? Just come up and grab it. To kill? Then come up directly and kill it, burn the ship.

Is it for Shi Xiu?

Xiao Dong couldn't help but shake his head while feeling ridiculous.

Even if the surname Hui is not a womanizer, he is not so infatuated, and he even used the trick of rushing to the crown to be angry.

There was a sudden knock on the hatch twice, and Xiao Dong could feel Hu's body tremble, but his voice was still calm: "Who?" ”

"Mom, Miss Shi wants to see the county lord."

I haven't walked for too long, and my feet are worn out. When I took off my shoes at night, I saw that there was a lot of blood in my shoes == I was shocked.
