Seeing the boat slowly sailing forward, the river still rhythmically slapping the shore again and again, the sound of the water waves was almost close to my ears, I took Ping'er and forgot to go back, just holding on to the wooden fence and looking up at the boat sliding forward little by little, a huge dark shadow shrouded in front of me.

Ping'er also became nervous, grabbed my arm hard, and muttered, "It's coming." ”

The wind on the river was strong, and it quickly dried the tears on my face, but the cold sweat came out one after another, the pain in my heart had not disappeared, and the pain in my body hit again, and I couldn't help but grab Ping'er's hand.

He looked up at me and subconsciously: "Aunt Qing? ”

I didn't speak, I just bit my lower lip, but I couldn't control the feeling of vomiting welling up, I subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned on the wooden fence behind me, and I heard the sailor next to me say: "It's really, no sound tonight." ”

"yes, I don't even scream insects anymore."

A middle-aged man next to him, who seemed to be the leader, came over and kicked them: "What are you talking about, hurry up and go to the helper, it's time to dock." As he spoke, he turned around and saw me and Ping'er, and said angrily: "Don't get out of the cabin, wait for the boat to dock and quickly roll Lao Tzu off the boat." ”

I stretched out my hand to hug Ping'er without speaking, and forced the uncomfortable feeling to be suppressed, and the boat slowly slid for a while, and then there was a loud pop from the black hole in front of me.

It's the anchor that goes into the water.

The hull of the ship shook, and the leader immediately beckoned to "hurry up" and "light the fire", and the people around them were all busy stepping forward to help, and in a short time they put the wooden steps on a trestle on the shore, and then they turned back and said, "Come out, walk, get off the boat quickly!" ”

Ping'er and I were the first to be pushed by them, and when we looked back, under the light of the slowly lit torches, the people in the cabin also walked out one by one, everyone was cautious. I saw Jingxu's Hai Qingyi appear in the firelight in a trance, but it was not easy to say hello at this time, so I simply got off the boat.

So, he took Ping'er's hand and walked over slowly.

As soon as my feet stepped on the fence, they shook immediately, and somehow my heart hung as if I had stepped on the air, and there were not many torches lit behind me, so I was naturally afraid of being discovered, and the flickering fire shone on the large reeds in front of me, and the reeds rose and fell with the night breeze, and the stars flickered.

I subconsciously stopped.

The person behind immediately said, "Hurry up, what are you doing?" ”

I still didn't move, I looked at the front fixedly, my brows tightened more and more, and the sailors behind me were impatient, and were about to open their mouths to scold, when suddenly, a cold light flew from the front, and I fell down with Ping'er in my arms, and I heard a snatch, and a long arrow was nailed to the board behind us.

Suddenly, the people who followed us screamed in fright.

This exclamation sounded in the silence of the night, and it sounded particularly frightening, and the people behind didn't know what was going on, but they all became confused, and they all shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

"What are you doing?"

"Yes, there's—"

Those people were originally smuggling across the river in a private boat, but when they saw that the situation had changed, they were all in chaos, and several jumped directly from the boat, and suddenly the sound of water and shouts became one.

The scene suddenly got out of control.

At this moment, many torches were lit in front of us, and countless people rose from the reeds and rushed towards us.

"Get off the boat, get off the boat!"

When the sailors behind me saw it, they were so frightened that their feet were weak, and I didn't know what was going on when I held Ping'er, but I saw that several people had rushed up.

For a while, I thought it was a robber or a water thief, but when I saw that those people were dressed in uniform clothes, they first divided a group of people to catch those who jumped off the boat to escape, and another group of people rushed onto the boat, and when they saw people, they were arrested, and everyone was so frightened that they screamed and struggled, but they were easily subdued by those people. A man rushed over and saw me lying on the board of the boat, and immediately pulled us up, and I subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Dismount! Did you ask? ”

I was pushed hard by him, grabbed my hands and escorted down, and I heard the sailors behind me all crying: "Uncle Guan spares his life, don't dare anymore, don't dare!" ”

My heart sank, but I didn't have time to think about it, those people were like wolves, they had already rushed up to occupy the whole boat, and these people who originally wanted to sneak across the river were so frightened that they didn't dare to resist, so they were arrested by those people and escorted off the boat next to each other. The ground on the shore was damp and muddy, and in a short time the corners of the skirt and shoes were covered with mud, and in the middle of the night, the torches flickered and dimmed, and it was very difficult to walk.

Finally came to the slightly dry and solid land, and everyone was already wolf.

We were pushed and shoved by those people and came together, all looking at them at a loss. I subconsciously hugged Ping'er tightly, he was also frightened, and drilled straight into my arms, only to see those people coming over with torches, forming a circle around us, each holding a steel knife in their hands, and said loudly: "Be honest, stand up!" ”

I didn't speak, and this time I looked out of the crowd.

The light of the torches here was too strong, and the surroundings seemed even darker, and only after careful attention could we barely see that in addition to the people surrounding us, there seemed to be a faint group of people in front of us, but none of them lit the torches, just stood far away, looking at us.

I watched them carefully.

These people should be the rebellious forces on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Although it is indeed a violation of their rules to cross the river by private boat, it is a bit too trivial to arrest people in this way, and here are just some civilians who want to come over to find people or deal with private affairs, how can they use such a big battle?

When all of us were on stand, the soldier who looked like the leader of the boat was running back to the front, and there was a low voice in the night wind, and I don't know what they had said, but I saw the soldier running back with a torch, and waved his hand, "Check them out!" ”

What the hell is this doing?

It seems that they are looking for someone from the ship, and who are they looking for?

As I was thinking about it, I saw the men pull people out of the crowd one by one, shine their faces with torches, look at them, and then push them to the other side, and in a few moments, a dozen people had passed.

That's when they came up to me.

I subconsciously reached out to hold the scarf covering my face, but was grabbed by a tall man, and when he saw me like this, he immediately said in a rough voice: "Take it down!" ”

I gasped slightly, "What are you going to do?" ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that the purpose of these people stationed here tonight is not simple, and there seem to be faint signs of poisonous hair in the body, I can only hold on to prevent myself from fainting, let alone fall, as soon as the person heard me say this, he immediately became furious, reached over and pulled my collar: "Let you talk more!" ”

My feet went limp, and he slammed them to the ground.

I almost fainted, and the scarf that had been held behind my ears fell off, revealing my face immediately. Perhaps it was because the night was dark, and the light of the torches flickered down, and several people around me who saw my face were frightened and cried out: "Ah! ”

"Her face, ahhhh

Ping'er hurriedly rushed over and hugged me: "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing, are you okay?" ”

Just when there was chaos around me, I suddenly heard a low and stunned voice from the group of people who had been silent not far away: "Qing-? ”

My heart moved.

It was like a woman's voice.

Immediately afterwards, someone seemed to clap their hands, and when the people here heard it, a few people immediately ran over, as if they had received some order, and dragged me up from the ground, Ping'er's eyes were red with fright, and he knelt on the ground and grabbed my hand, just like I begged someone to put him down just now: "What are you going to do?" Let go of Aunt Qing, don't hurt her! ”

"Stinky little ghost, get out of here!"

The man kicked him away and dragged me, who was too uncomfortable to speak, toward the front.

I said that I was walking, but in fact both of my legs were dragged on the ground, like a broken sack, until I reached a slightly flat place, and the man let go, and I was already slumped on the ground, and a feeling of nausea came up, which made me retch.

There was chaos and peaceful cries in the rear, but here, there was no sound.

There was only one footfoot, slowly, coming from the front.

I seemed to realize something, barely propped up, through the distant fire behind me, only then did I vaguely see that there were still a large number of people here, hidden in the night, although there were many people, but I couldn't hear the sound of breathing, it was particularly breathtaking, and the feet that slowly walked in front of me, slender and light, the crimson clothes had almost merged into the night.

I looked up, and a woman appeared in my blurred vision.

The firelight flickered, and she could only vaguely judge that she was very young, and she seemed to look good, with the unique delicacy of Jiangnan women between her eyebrows, and her eyes were exceptionally bright, even if she couldn't hide it at night.

She's—

"Who are you?"

"You are Yue Qingying?"

I wasn't too surprised to hear the name come out of her mouth, it had already been revealed that they were looking for someone, and those people dragged me over when they saw my festering face, and it was clear that they were looking for me.

However, aren't these people the disobedient forces on the south bank of the river? Why are they looking for me?

Who is this woman in front of you?

I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, accumulating the weak strength in my body to stand up, the woman was still looking at me, as if she was a little unwilling: "You are really you, Yue Qingying?" ”

She said, her sparkling eyes roaming over my face, as if trying to find something of value, but the festering face could not find anything to make it feel better. She frowned, her face still unwilling, and fell silent.

I asked, "Who the hell are you?" Why did you come to arrest me? ”

I once guessed that the only person who could establish a force on the south bank of the Yangtze River to confront the imperial court was Yao Lao, but how could Yao Lao's people arrest me like this? But if it weren't for Yao Lao's people, then I hadn't even crossed the river all these years, how could I get into trouble with them?

The woman didn't seem to hear me, but kept looking at me, and after a long time, she sighed softly, as if with a hint of relief: "Forget it, I don't want to know what is so good about you." ”

……

What do you mean?

With that, she had slowly turned away.

"Kill her."
