"It's good to be able to go home tomorrow."

"Look, this is the gadget I just bought at the evening market."

"Huh? I think you don't seem to have children yet......"

"Oh, I bought it for my daughter-in-law."

"Poof, hahaha......"

The two walked by talking and laughing, and the lantern in their hands swayed a small piece of light and shadow.

The faint dusk illuminated the expression on Duan Chuiwen's face more clearly, and Xia Houzhi noticed that what he didn't seem to care about was the boatmen who were a few steps away, but the front of him.

She looked suspiciously, only to see a gray shadow not far away, and it was also a freighter.

There was almost no light on the deck, like a huge beast, lying quietly in the night.

"Let's go." Duan Chuiwen gestured.

She wondered, "Where are you going?" But that ship didn't come from Beijing. ”

"The text can be faked."

Xiahou Zhi was stunned for a moment, so she had to follow closely.

On the boat, she saw the other party walking towards the place where the goods were stacked as usual, and after raising her hand to caress the surface of the container, she twisted her fingertips.

But this time, a little discoloration finally appeared on that calm face.

"What's wrong?"

Xiahou Zhi leaned over and also drew a gourd with a scoop, but rubbed the black ash on his hands.

The heavy dust raised made her throat itch, and she opened her mouth to sneeze, when she was suddenly covered tightly by a hand.

The phoenix's eyes widened slightly, and although he was through the face towel, he could still feel the heat from the wide palm and the approaching temperature of the person behind him.

The sound of the iron door opening and closing was faintly heard, and then a light footstep faded away.

Duan Chuiwen's breathing was obviously a little heavier.

When silence returned, he whispered, "Something is wrong with this ship. As he spoke, he pulled out a bag of things from each of the two boxes beside him.

With a little light on the horizon, two packages of the most common dry goods were revealed.

"Tsk." Xiahou Zhi flicked the tip of her tongue and said with emotion, "Such a big ship, but transporting this kind of goods, really won't you lose your family's wealth." ”

"That person is a practitioner."

"Huh? A whole box of goods worth no more than three taels still needs a martial artist to escort? ”

At this point, she finally guessed the reason for the other party's series of strange behaviors, but there were a few points that she still couldn't understand.

"Why did you touch the surface of the box, and how did you decide to come here? Don't tell me it's intuition. ”

Duan Chuiwen was approaching the iron gate, and when he heard the words, he glanced back, obviously slightly surprised by her investigation, but he still explained simply.

"The villagers of Pingyangzhuang said that they did not hear any sound, so it can be seen that the goods have not been loaded and unloaded at the wharf, and the wooden boxes here are so thick with dust, which not only confirms this, but also shows that they are rarely moved, which is obviously unreasonable, and no one on the deck moves, which means that important things are in the lower cabin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rusty door was pushed open again.

This time, two people walked out.

"Komatsu, I'll take the brothers to relax, I'll leave it to you and Ah Feng tonight, remember, don't open the window, there is a stubborn one in this batch of goods, and his voice is very loud, beware of causing trouble."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao." The young man named Xiao Song slapped his chest loudly, and finally said, "It's just Brother Zhao, in case Master Wu comes over and asks about you, what should I say?" ”

"Wu Ye won't come, he's going to buy the goods!"

After the man finished explaining, he couldn't wait to stride away.

As soon as the person walked away, Xiao Song's courteous and flattering face suddenly pulled down, spat at his back, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, I'm all going to play, I'm bored under that every day, and I'm about to stuff out mushrooms, well, no, I can't lose myself." With a roll of his eyes, he said to himself, "It's not too much to drink two glasses, right?" ”

Having made up his mind, he hurried into another hatch, apparently taking the wine.

Don't miss the opportunity.

The two dark shadows hidden in the shadows glanced at each other, and swept back and forth behind the door at a similar speed.

There is a long staircase that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see, and the faint light shines through from the bottom, but fortunately, the space is narrow, and when you go down the stairs, there is not much footstep echo.

They silently circled and circled, and finally came to the bottom, where a musty smell of air rushed in front of them, accompanied by a faint sob.

"Woo...... Mother...... Woohoo......"

"Cry what cry!" After the sound of the heavy object being kicked over, a man yelled in a rough voice, "If you cry again, Lao Tzu will directly do you, see if you still have the strength to howl!" ”

The intimidation worked, and the sobbing immediately stopped abruptly.

Xiahou Zhi frowned, her shoulder was suddenly patted, and she looked up to see Duan Chuiwen glaring at her.

【Go over there】

There were some miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, and the two of them hid behind them.

Behind them was a closed wooden window, and by the faint moonlight outside and the dancing candle at the end of the walkway, they could finally see the general situation.

Wooden fences, long iron chains, and messy dead grass on the ground, more than a dozen young girls huddled together, all of them haggard and trance-like.

It's like a small private dungeon.

And their cell leader, a burly strong man, was stilting Erlang's legs, peeling peanuts with one hand, and shaking the leather whip with the other, his face was full of fierce and vicious, and his eyes on the girls were full of scrutiny and unwillingness.

The distance was a bit far, Xiahou Zhi observed for a long time, and it was difficult to determine whether there was Gao Xiuxiu in that group of girls, she turned her head to look at the side, and saw that Duan Chuiwen also had the same hesitation in her eyes.

At this moment, a weak but still menacing voice came: "Miss Ben again, call your leader...... No, go get out of here and open the window, this place stinks and stuffy...... If you don't do it again, when Miss Ben goes out, you will definitely ask your grandfather to show the emperor and cut off your heads! ”

Xiahou Zhi followed the sound and took a closer look, in the east corner, there was a girl sitting alone in the dark, as she spoke, half of her face was revealed in the light, squeamish and flamboyant,

Although the clothes on her body were covered with wrinkles and dirt, she could tell that it was still the satin skirt she wore when she shouted.

Gao Xiuxiu, sure enough, was alive and was taken captive on the boat.

But what about the other girls?

At that time, Ah Feng twisted a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, you can't get out." Then I didn't know what to think, and laughed strangely, "Let me tell you the truth, even if you are let go outside now, you won't be able to escape from our palms, so die as soon as possible, don't toss around, Wu Ye's temper is not good, and he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade than me, if you make a lot of trouble, beware - Ka!" ”

The strong man raised his knife and made a gesture on his neck.

Boom! Bone Luck –

The two heads suddenly fell from the sky and rolled to Ah Feng's feet.

"Poof, ahem......"

The man choked and almost choked on the peanuts in his mouth, and when he saw whose head it was, he was even more frightened and his legs were weak, and he slipped to the ground.
