Chapter 43 Water Bandits

The White Dragon left Baxian Town and gradually sailed into the main channel of the Li River. On the waterways, I gradually saw other ships floating in the water. Pass through a canyon carved out by nature, with strange rocks and steep mountains on both sides. Occasionally, watching a bird spread its wings and fly over the narrow sky also adds a bit of a sense of gloom.

Qian Ye didn't know if there were a few more climbing apes on the cliff, whether it would have the meaning of Li Bai's poem. Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't come out to play, where did she have that mind.

"Wang~" Dousha Bao was puzzled and circled around her boots.

Qian Ye didn't dare to hold it close to the side of the boat, in case the bean paste bag was too excited and fell down, she couldn't save it. Needless to say, the river here is fierce, and there may be reefs and forests below, and her water is not good, and it will be useless to go down.

Breakfast was simply eaten with some dry food and drank some water.

With the longer time of sea transportation, the river transportation is smoother, and supplies can be replenished when passing through the port. Therefore, it is more convenient to pour fresh water.

Standing on the deck, I suddenly saw several sailors dragging a large fishing net. Is this going to fish? Qian Ye thought of it with little interest. She didn't know what it was called, but it was one of the most common methods of fishing at sea.

The sailors waited quietly for the ship to leave this small section of the canyon, because there were many reefs under the water, and it was easy for the nets to be hung on the reef and pull the boat from moving forward.

The line of sight in front of him suddenly widened, and Qian Ye couldn't help but sigh that this canyon was so short. A rustling sound was heard, and the nets had been carefully thrown into the sea, pulled behind the hull by two thick ropes.

Doushabao was very interested, and ran to the sailors with his tail wagged, always wanting to jump up and see where the nets had gone.

Qian Ye pursed the corners of her lips, she had to get off the cabin in a while to change shifts with the guards in the cabin! As for the bean paste buns, take them with you, and save it from getting in the way here.

The prisoners were divided into two cabins for men and women, and there were several prisoner wagons and horses pulling them in the cabins where the male prisoners were held. This old county order is also kind, let them get on the boat immediately, otherwise when they arrive in Lin'an, they will be in trouble.

Qian Ye exchanged places with the others, and looked at the man with his head hanging in his arms. Isn't this Huang Sanye, look at the appearance of this Luotuo. Tsk, what a pitiful! Of course, Qianye would never admit that he was gloating. Well, what she likes to watch the most is that the 258,000 people she drags on weekdays end up unlucky. I feel very happy when I think about it, she is really a bad person~

Huang Sanye drooped his head, leaned against the plank and took a nap, but actually closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He knew that because of Zhang Jia's involvement this time, he was afraid that time was running out, and it would be useless to sprinkle it again, so he simply appointed it. It's just that he thinks so, and others don't.

The dim cabin concealed the deep meaning in everyone's eyes, they were outnumbered, and when the time came, they killed these fast catchers, robbed the big ship, and escaped was not just around the corner.

Especially when Qian Ye appeared, these people's eyes brightened. What a good target, thin and weak, two big men can go up and subdue them together.

If Zhao Zhutou could know what these people were thinking, he was afraid that he would not give them enough to eat, so that they would have the strength to think about other things.

Although Qian Ye was standing at the door, the sound of rustling in front of her could not escape her ears, and the sound of conversation buzzed in her ears like mosquitoes. Or do these people really think they're quiet enough that no one else can hear them? Even the bean paste bag bit Qianye's boots a little impatiently, and looked very irritated when he turned in circles.

"Don't talk to each other!" scolded angrily, and watching everyone be silent, Qian Ye closed his eyes and recuperated calmly. These days on the ship must not be enough sleep, if you don't have a good rest, I'm afraid that no matter how good your body is, you can't cope with it!

A few people didn't speak, but a pair of greedy eyes stared at Qian Ye's delicate face. Look at this little touch, it's really good, I'm afraid that the Oiran lady in this flower building can't compare! They have all been reduced to prisoners, but they still think about this little in their hearts, so men are worthy of being animals who think in the lower half of their bodies.

Playing each other's colors, just looking for a suitable time to do it. Although you can't see the sky outside, you can tell that it's daylight outside the moment the cabin opens. Everyone is waiting for the arrival of darkness, and the cover of night will be the best time to start.

Today, Qianye only needs to watch the day, and he can rest at night, and he doesn't need to stay from afternoon to night like yesterday, and go to rest in the middle of the night. For lunch, there is a simple preparation of anchovies, some boiled prawns, and although they are not very good, they are delicious because of the freshness of the ingredients. As for their own dry food, everyone was given a large portion.

Qian Ye took his share and sat at the entrance of the cabin, eating with the bean paste buns, while quietly paying attention to the faintly strange crowd not far away.

Everyone devoured it, feeling that the food in their mouths was comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and only when they were full did they have the physical strength to escape. Huang Sanye ate it in small bites, and the fish on the plate was snatched away, only a piece of shriveled cake and a few thin shrimps.

It's not that Qian Ye didn't notice this, but he was too lazy to care. These people may have been beheaded if they were sent to the capital, but now they have bothered to grab food, which is really boring. Look at how they eat and drink without their heads.

The White Dragon was sailing through a wide body of water, gradually heading towards the reeds. This is one of the main roads to Lin'an City, the waterway is open and not dangerous, but there is a group of very strong water bandits entrenched in the reeds. These bandits often take advantage of the cover of reeds to raid the merchant ships in the vicinity, usually looting property, and it is common to kill people.

Now is not the time for the bandits, so Hong Bo is not worried, and there is no property on his ship, just some important criminals sent to the capital. It's just a matter of course, but there are often small mistakes.

In the reeds, a light boat that could only be rowed by two people quietly observed the surrounding water. There were two men on the boat, tall and thin, wearing grass-green shirts and straw hats made of reeds.

"Big brother, look!" The skinny man pointed in the direction of the White Dragon, "This ship has a draft / It's very deep!" ”

The tall man glanced at it, but there was a big ship with a deep draft coming this way. Judging by the size of the ship, it must be a good merchant ship, and if you can do a ticket on this ship, the last days will be much easier.

Approaching summer, the sailors are checking closely, although the bandits come and go without a trace on weekdays, there are still times when they are caught. As long as this is caught, indiscriminately, it will definitely be killed! For this reason, the brothers have not done anything for several days.

"Go back, inform the brothers to copy the guys, but go back to Longwan and wait."

As the name suggests, Huilong Bay is a nine-turn curve, which is named after it because it looks like a long dragon from a distance. When the boat enters Huilong Bay, it is necessary to slow down before it can walk, and there are many reed rocks here that are very suitable for concealment. And here, it has always been a good place for water bandits to start!

As soon as the ship entered Huilong Bay, Hong Bo began to be on alert. Although the wind has been tight recently, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be bold, although he did not carry goods on the ship, but he still has to be careful!

When he got on the ship, Hong Bo didn't notice that these dozens of people staying on this big ship actually created an illusion that the ship was crushed by the cargo.

As the ship gradually entered Huilong Bay, there was no movement around, and Hong Bo gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the mutation happened suddenly-

Qian Ye was leaning against the plank of the boat when he suddenly felt a violent shaking. She opened her eyes, listened to the movement outside, and guessed in her heart that the White Dragon had touched a reef somewhere, so it ran aground?

"Bean paste buns, watch them well, I'll go out and have a look."

Although Doushabao couldn't understand Qianye's words, he probably understood what she meant, so he lay quietly aside, staring at the prisoners in front of him.
