Chapter 61 Fishing with a Net (The Third Update, Ask for Subscription)
"Someone sneaked onto the boat, spun around and didn't enter the room, and then left." After listening to the news from Lin Rui's report, Fang's family went back to the room and hugged his daughter and whispered, "Jiaojiao sleep in peace, there should be nothing wrong tonight."
"Hmm." Lin Ruyu responded in a very low voice, but she couldn't sleep with her eyes open. The enemy who attacked the outpost retreated, and there may be people coming again during the night. The people who come again will never retreat so easily, they are the big fish tonight.
At the other end of the cabin, Lin Erye, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide, listening intently to the movement outside the window, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong outside the window......
opened his mouth to ask Shen Ge, who was hiding under the bed, if he heard anything, first, he was afraid that he would wake up Ah Heng beside him, and second, he was afraid that there was really someone outside the window, but because of this, Shen Ge's hiding location was exposed.
Under the bed, Shen Ge, who drank the soothing soup of double ginseng, slept soundly.
In the next room, Shengzi was also lying on the bed snoring, and the third uncle Ma next to him and Shen Shangzhi under the bed were all open, always alert to the movement outside the house.
At this time, the rain was light, and the drizzle rustled against the plank, which was particularly hypnotic.
"Knock, dangdang-" The sound of beating was heard into the boat, and Shen Shangzhi and Third Uncle Ma opened their eyes at the same time. It's time to come.
"Master Fu, wake up, wake up......
Dafuku, who was lying on the bed snoring, was awakened and opened his eyes in a daze, "Uncle Rui."
"It's the villain. It's time for the young master to get up and watch the night." Lin Rui lowered his voice and groped to hand Daifuku a water bladder filled with warm honey.
Daifuku took it and poured it on his neck.
Lin Rui couldn't help but grin silently when he saw his heroic posture.
Of the dozens of people who followed the eldest lady out of the house, only one survived. When he went out, he was a miscellaneous servant of the Lin family, and when he came back, he was already a young master Fu.
"Young Master take a bow and arrows and sit here." After waiting for Dafu to get dressed, Lin Rui led him to the closed window and told him again, "From now until dawn, as long as you see someone knocking on the window, whether it is running on the ground or flying in the sky, the young master will shoot with arrows. Remember?"
Daifuku nodded, staring out through the thin curtains.
Because he was curious about what kind of person the eldest girl was talking about, "flying in the sky", but Lin Rui couldn't help but yawn after sitting next to Daifuku for a while, and his eyelids gradually couldn't hold on.
Lin Dafu stared out the window with wide eyes, motionless.
More than 20 lanterns illuminate the two big boats, looking at them from a distance, like two big fireflies in the dark night.
A gray-clothed figure lay on the city wall, looked at the two fireflies from afar, and quietly approached.
On the surface of the river, where water lotus flowers are swinging, three thin reed pipes two inches above the water are also floating towards the side of the boat.
The gray shadow reached the city wall close to the Lin family's big ship and looked around.
The restaurants and inns outside the city walls were all washed away by the flood, and under the city walls were closely lined with thatched huts, tarpaulins and even broken quilts, and under them were all homeless people. These people must not be sleeping soundly, and if they pass by, they will surely wake up the people on board.
Gray Shadow's gaze finally fell on the mast of the big ship. ….
Boldness of execution stems from superb skill.
After visually measuring the distance from the wall to the mast, the shadow took a few steps back, then lunged forward, leaping towards the ship. That is, because of the rain, the officers and soldiers defending the city were lax, otherwise he would not be able to escape the eyes of the officers and soldiers defending the city if he made such a big move.
There were more than a dozen lanterns hanging on the ship, and Daifuku's room was the darkest corner of the ship, and Gray Shadow chose this darkness as his foothold.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly when he reached the gray shadow at the top, estimating that he could land in the selected position.
But at this moment, something suddenly changed!
A cold arrow shot at him like a meteor!
The gray shadow in the air immediately made a decision and threw out a dagger, which hit the tip of the arrow with a crisp sound.
This crisp sound woke up Lin Rui, who was sitting and napping next to Daifuku, and he hurriedly knocked down Daifuku who was sitting by the window and protected him
He hid under the window.
After shooting this arrow, Daifuku's errand tonight is finished.
Outside the window, several more arrows were fired at the falling gray shadow. Gray Shadow drew his knife and flicked it left and right, but he was still hit by an arrow in his leg.
Seeing that the gray shadow was about to fall into the water to escape, he swung under the three reed pipes on the side of the boat, and the three figures broke through the water and attacked the gray shadow in three ways, and the sound of swords colliding was stirring in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the four of them had already passed a few moves.
Seeing that the gray shadow was injured and could still defeat the wind with one enemy and three enemies, Uncle Ma couldn't stay any longer, "Uncle, I ...... too"
"Don't panic."
Shen Shangzhi was calm and composed, drew the bow full, pointed the tip of the arrow at the gray shadow, and found an opportunity to shoot a cold arrow, hitting him in the back.
Gray Shadow shook his hand after being hit by an arrow, and a white smoke dispersed, forcing the three people who were fighting with him to immediately retreat, and when many arrows were fired on the boat, Gray Shadow jumped into the water and fled without a trace.
"It's white ash!"
After the man in gray jumped into the water, the dart masters on the boat also recognized what the white smoke he spilled was, and they knew that they had been fooled, and they were annoyed.
Third Uncle Ma also sighed, "I knew that I was also ambushed in the water, and I wanted his life!"
Shen Shang said straightly, "Poor Kou don't chase. This man is very strong, if he is cornered, there will be casualties on our side, and now this is the best outcome, you go out now and follow the ship. After less than an hour of dawn, let's pull anchor and set off."
"Be careful." Shen Shangzhi helped Shen Shangzhi to lie on the bed, and told his son to take care of his uncle, before he ran out with a knife, and happened to meet Chen Hong, who had changed his clothes and was led by Lin Rui.
The two clasped their fists and greeted each other. Uncle Ma went to patrol the boat, and Chen Hong entered the room, squinting to get used to the dim light in the room.
Shengzi called in a low voice, "Uncle Hong?"
"It's me." Chen Hong walked slowly in the direction of the voice, clasped his fists and saluted, and said the code that Bao Li told them, "In Xia Chen Hong, can you go to the west bank of the canal and see the weeping willows?"
Shen Shang replied with a smile, "The willows on the west bank are not as good as those on the east bank, next time the little brother can go to the east bank to take a look."
The code was matched, and the iron-clad Chen Hong had a sour nose and knelt on one knee, "Subordinate......
Shen Shangzhi interrupted him, "Get up and speak."
"Yes." Chen Hong immediately understood that the people on the boat did not know Shen Shangzhi's identity, so he hurriedly got up and stood up.
"Is Bao Li okay?"
"Bao Ye's injuries are half healed, and they are leading people around to find your old whereabouts."
Shen Shang stroked his beard, "If the rain is not heavy after dawn, two clouds of wolf smoke will rise on the top of a high mountain ten miles away, and people will be recruited to protect the ship."
"Obey!"
Shen Shangzhi asked again, "Do you know that person?"
"Looking at his figure and moves below, he is very similar to An Ziyuan's entourage, An Fengchun. Uncle Ancestor has heard anyone mention this An Ziyuan?"
"Are you sure?" Before Fang could reprimand her daughter with a stick into the room, he was startled by her words.
"Recognize, he is An Fengchun, who is always by An Ziyuan's side." Lin Ruyu's words are conclusive, although she has not seen An Fengchun many times in this life, but with the memory of the previous life, she will never admit her mistake.
Fang's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
