Chapter 35 You can cross the river
Li Rou saw that Zhang Liang had woken up, and tears flowed down again.
"Xianggong, you can be regarded as awake, we are now on the way to Yunshui City, but all the food distributed to us by our family has been robbed......" Li Rou choked up and told Zhang Liang what happened.
Zhang Liang propped himself up weakly, looked at the victims and prisoners who had not yet dispersed not far away, and coughed violently again.
"Xianggong, Xianggong, how are you, don't scare me."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Zhang Liang coughed for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted Rou Niang comfortingly, "Don't, don't worry, I'm fine, you help me up, we have to thank our benefactor." ”
Rou Niang nodded chokedly, helped him get up and knelt down in front of Su Ying and them.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the benefactor, Zhang will never forget."
Su Ying didn't expect Zhang Liang to wake up so quickly, "Okay, get up." ”
"Thank you, benefactor."
"Rou Niang, what are your plans now? Do you want to continue to Yunshui City? But when we came, the gates of Yunshui City were closed, can you have a way to get in? Zhang Cuiniang said with concern.
Zhang Liang frowned, just now Li Rou had already informed him of everything that happened after he fell unconscious, there were too many victims outside Yunshui City, and there was a possibility of rioting at any time, and it was actually not safe to go to Yunshui City now.
"Let's go to Zhuzhou."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "I want a ferry to Zhuzhou, where do you know where there is a boat?" ”
Zhang Liang heard Su Ying's question, so he said: "The benefactor doesn't know, Zhang has also accumulated some savings in this generation of runners over the years, and bought a merchant ship two years earlier, although it is not big, but there is no problem in crossing the Wujiang River." ”
Su Yingfeng's eyes lit up, "How many people can you hold on that boat?" ”
Zhang Liang was stunned, "Do the benefactors also want to cross the river?" ”
Su Ying nodded, "Yes, we are also going to Zhuzhou." ”
"Then if the benefactor wishes, we can go together."
"That's a good idea, but I have to tell you first, we're all exiled prisoners, aren't you afraid?"
Zhang Liang was stunned again, and quickly shook his head and said: "No matter what the identity of the benefactor is, he is the benefactor of Zhang's family, and the benefactor wants to ask for Zhang's life, and Zhang has no complaints." ”
Su Ying was happy when he agreed, "It's much easier to ask for your life than to cross the Wujiang River." ”
The green tendons in front of Xiao Yan's forehead jumped, and he had never seen anyone speak so scary.
Zhang Liang promised to take them across the river, but they are now exiles, so they can't go alone, and this matter has to be discussed with Li Da.
So Su Ying immediately found Li Da.
Li Da saw Su Ying coming over, watched her vigilantly and took a step back.
"What's the matter with Princess Qi?"
Su Ying raised her lips and smiled, and Li Da's back was cold.
"Fortunately, I found a boat to cross the river, but there are not many people on the boat at one time, so I ask you what you think."
When Li Da heard her, his brows were raised, and he found the ferry, which was a really good thing.
"It's okay if we can't accommodate too many people at once, we can go separately, go through a group first, and then go back and take the rest of the people."
"The boat is not mine, you have to ask the owner of the ferry if he agrees."
"I wonder who owns this ship?"
Su Ying pointed in the direction where Zhang Liang was.
Li Da understood and ran in the direction of Zhang Liang.
After negotiations, Zhang Liang agreed to lend the ferry to Li Da and them, but on the condition that when he and Su Ying crossed the river, there would be at most a few more officials on the boat, and there would be no more prisoners.
Li Da agreed, and immediately ordered two officials to join him He Suying.
"Boss, we just counted the number of people, and there are only one hundred and seventeen people left in the team." And basically they are all old and weak, women and children.
Li Da's face is not very good-looking, but everyone has run away, and their number is limited, and it is very likely that he will be put into it in such a disaster year, "You can just count the roster, and when you arrive in Zhuzhou, you will find a way to send the roster back to the capital, and let the criminal department annoy the matter of finding fugitives." ”
"Yes."
There are still more than a dozen guards left in Zhang Liang's team, although they are all wounded, they are not fatal, and they will not be in serious trouble after using medicine.
"The lord forgives the sins, because we didn't take good care of the food." The leader of the guards had followed Zhang Liang for many years, and he felt very uncomfortable watching the food being snatched away.
Zhang Liang shook his head with a pale face, "It's okay if people are fine, everything will be fine when you get to Zhuzhou, you go and take inventory, everything else that can be used has been put away, and we will leave for the dock immediately." ”
"Yes."
Su Ying also wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, so he and He Shouyi packed their things and prepared to leave.
After packing up, Su Ying asked Zhang Liang, "Is it not far from the dock?" ”
"It's not far away, if we are fast, we can get there before dark."
"Okay, let's get to the docks first."
Although the food on the car was robbed by the guards of the Zhang family, they also tried to keep a carriage, just so that Zhang Liang's family of three could sit on it.
Su Ying also carried the two treasures into the carriage, then jumped on the carriage and set off towards the dock.
Li Da sorted out the remaining prisoners and followed behind them.
Along the way, the closer you get to the pier, the fewer people there are, and everyone is afraid that if the dam bursts completely, the first to suffer is the pier, so they all hide far away.
Their feet were a little quicker than expected, and as soon as the sun was setting, they were on the docks.
It's just that at this time, the wharf has been completely submerged by the river, and from a distance, it looks like an endless muddy river, which makes people feel daunted.
The guards of the Zhang family had already found the hidden ferry, which was very scarce when the flood first broke out, and it would be robbed if they were not careful, so they hid the ferry early so as not to fall into the hands of others.
Soon, the guards drove the ferry out.
Su Ying looked up and found that the ferry was a little bigger than expected, and it was not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
The guards put down a few thick templates and pulled the carriage up directly.
Li Da looked at such a big ferry, and actually wanted Zhang Liang to let all the prisoners go up together, but thinking about it, other people's grain and grass were robbed, and it would be good for them to be kind enough to take them for a ride, so they no longer dared to ask for anything else.
"You stay here first, and someone will come back to pick it up later." Li Da explained to the officials who stayed behind.
"Got it."
Su Ying also pulled the carriage and got on the boat.
When they arrived on the boat, looking at the vast river, Zhao's mother and the others felt a little dizzy, so Su Ying asked them to go to the cabin to rest first.
After settling everyone down, Su Ying was about to follow into the cabin when she saw Li Rou walking towards her.
"Benefactor, the little woman has something she wants to ask her benefactor."
