Seeing the group of boatmen who were soliciting passengers shaking their heads, Wednesday's heart sank, could they only squeeze the bus? Not to mention the slow speed, it was easy to be targeted, especially when a large number of people were crowded into a boat, maybe the old man sitting next to him was a spy.

"Sir, I have a clipper boat here, one gold coin per person, get on the boat and go, and you can reach the other side in an hour and a half," a voice came from behind Wednesday.

Turning her head, she saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her tanned skin shining in the sun, her long black hair tied into a high ponytail, cropped shorts and a waistless corset, bright big eyes and a standard model figure made her look like a fashionable urban beauty, but her cautious expression made her look like a thief.

Wednesday shook his head without thinking, "Don't sit," the station and ferry are very chaotic, no matter what world it is, he would rather take a big boat slowly than take these black ships of unknown origin. In the middle of the river, if it was a trivial matter to be extorted or something, if it was to kill people and rob money, they had nothing to do on Wednesday.

It's easy to say on land, you can't run, but when you get to the water, there's really nothing to do on Wednesday. All the other party needs to do is jump into the river and overturn the boat, and Wednesday and Chrissy will have to be slaughtered. Although Wednesday learned "Lang Wrapping Gong", he never really practiced it in the water, he is a standard landlubber.

Seeing that Wednesday was leaving, the girl hurriedly whispered: "Now you can't find another clipper boat in the whole of Pips City except for my boat, and those big boats are also being watched." ”

Wednesday turned his head and looked at the girl seriously, secretly wondering that the girl's eyesight was good, knowing that he was in a hurry to cross the river and didn't want to be discovered.

Then Chrissy asked, "Where are the other clippers?" The girl looked at Chrissy twice, and then said to Wednesday: "It's all put away by old Demi, saying that no clippers are allowed to pick up passengers for a week." ”

"Who's old Demy? Why don't you let the Clippers carry passengers?" Wednesday's heart sank, but he continued to ask.

The girl shrugged, "Old Demi is the lord of the city, Pips Demy, who knows why he made such a ridiculous order." ”

"No, since your city lord won't let you run, then why do you dare to solicit passengers?" Wednesday asked with a frown, but he probably knew in his heart why this Demi city lord would issue such a ban, prohibiting clippers from carrying passengers at this time, and there was an eighty percent probability that it was against Margaret and his party, otherwise why would he issue such an order?

The girl looked around, and then whispered to Wednesday: "We don't go to the official ferry, we don't pay taxes, although old Demi has been inspected, but the Hirnino River is so big, how can we check it." ”

Wednesday was slightly stunned, this is okay? But it's normal to think about it. Even on the earth, there are so many people who run black cars and black ships, let alone in this world where surveillance methods are relatively backward. "Where is your boat?" In this case, you can also take a look, if it is just a little girl, you are not afraid of her on Wednesday, as long as you take care of her when the time comes, you can control her first if you find something wrong.

Besides, crossing the river this time was already a very risky thing, and maybe taking a black boat to a remote waterway could avoid the surveillance of some people. Thinking of this, Wednesday nodded to Chriss, and then said to the little girl, "Take me to see it." ”

The two followed the hot-skinned girl out of the dock and walked downstream along the riverbank, and after more than ten minutes they came to a riverbank, the river was more turbulent than upstream, and the riverbank was also a little muddy, and the riverbank was full of rocks. Two or three meters away from the river bank was a small boat parked, and a little boy was standing on it.

Walking to the river, the dark-skinned ** shouted in a low voice: "Brother, set up the pedal and let the guests get on the boat." ”

Wednesday asked, "Just this boat?" Seeing the dark-skinned **, he nodded, and then without waiting for the little black boy to set up the pedals, he grabbed Chrissy and the ** beside him with both hands, jumped under the stunned gaze of the little boy on the boat and landed in the cabin.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two black siblings, Wednesday waved his hand profoundly, "Let's sail." "It's not that Wednesday deliberately flaunts, but shows his hand first, so that the two siblings know that he is not a person to be messed with, lest they have any bad intentions. Of course, just in case, when looking at the pair of siblings here, Wednesday didn't think they were some kind of villains, especially the little Dan Dan who had been squatting on his shoulders without any abnormality.

At this time, Wednesday is also willing to trust the little Dandan's intuition. In fact, along the way, Little Dandan has helped Wednesday a lot, in addition to tracking, the kind of intuition it shows about danger has also benefited Wednesday a lot. Otherwise, Wednesday wouldn't have gone so smoothly. And the younger brother of the two siblings is only fourteen or fifteen years old, although he is sturdy and very skilled in rowing, but the immaturity in his eyes cannot be concealed, especially after showing his hand on Wednesday, the surprise and envy in his eyes are undoubtedly revealed, not like he can kill.

However, Wednesday still focused on the little boy's body, consciously or unintentionally getting closer to him, and was able to control him immediately if he found something wrong.

Perhaps it was because of Wednesday's vigilance, the two siblings stopped talking, just rowing vigorously.

The boat is not big, but it is not small, and it is no problem to seat a few more people, and the fishy smell in the cabin is very heavy, it should be a fishing boat. Seeing this, Wednesday was even more relieved, but he still didn't let down his guard, and that's how he came along the way.

The two siblings have good skills, and the boat runs fast and smoothly in the turbulent river.

The atmosphere was awkward, and Wednesday felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "How long have you been in the line?" ”

My sister smiled slightly, "I grew up by the river since I was a child, and I can hold a boat to fish at the age of three or five, and I have been driving a boat to carry passengers for two years, so I am very familiar with the terrain in this area," and added: "Sir, don't worry, I will be able to send you to the other side." ”

Wednesday nodded, and then asked casually: "The landing gate is not at the official pier, so where is it, is it easy to go?"

"It's easy to walk, although it's remote, but there is a road, and you can enter the city in ten minutes. ”

After thinking about it, Wednesday made a request that surprised the siblings, "Can we let the boat park somewhere else? It's okay to stay away from the city, as long as we can get ashore, ahem, we're running away from the enemy." ”

My sister only pondered for a moment before she spoke: "In that case, you have to go downstream, there are not many landing points on the other side, you have to walk down two miles, and the boat fare will have to be added a little." ”

Wednesday nodded, "No problem, I'll give you four gold coins at the place." ”

"All right, sir," said the siblings, turning slightly, and the fishing boat sailed downstream like an arrow from a string.

This section of the river is indeed wide, and the speed of such a fast boat is so fast, it takes more than an hour to see the situation on the opposite bank.

"Hey, is there anyone on the other side?" said Wednesday, who suddenly saw a line of people standing on the waterfront a hundred meters away.

The sister who was holding the boat looked at it with her hand on the pergola, and said casually: "Maybe it's a nearby fisherman." ”

Wednesday squinted his eyes and shook his head, "It seems to be a soldier," and the distance between the words was a little closer: "It seems that the boat is still driving, is it ......?"

"Soldier?" the two siblings who were holding the boat glanced at each other, and then shouted in unison, "Turn around and turn around, hurry up and ......" As soon as the words came out, their hands had already begun to move, and the fishing boat, which was not big or small, spun around on the river as if it had lost control, turned around and ran away.

At this time, the soldiers on Jiang An also shouted: "Stop, stop, or we will open our bows." ”

Hearing that there were bows and arrows, Wednesday hurriedly protected Chrissy.

Seeing Wednesday's movements, the sister who was fleeing said: "Don't be afraid, they are just scaring people, with the ability of those tax collectors, don't say that we are moving, even if we stop here, they can't shoot ......"

It's just that before she finished speaking, Wednesday suddenly grabbed a wooden board beside her and blocked it in front of her, and then heard a "poof-" sound, and a feather arrow was nailed to the wooden board fiercely, and the cold and shining arrow had pierced the plank, revealing most of it.

Seeing this scene, the four people who put it on all of a sudden quieted down.

It was a headache not to speak on Wednesday, because it was clear that the soldier on the other side was not the tax collector that the siblings were talking about, but a very powerful person. Because the opponent can shoot through a wooden plank six or seven centimeters thick with an ordinary feather arrow at such a distance.

Such a powerful figure is guarding on a very remote river, obviously not to collect a few river crossing taxes.

And Chrissy and the two siblings who were holding the boat were frightened and stupid, where had they ever experienced such a scene? The three of them shuddered a little at the thought of the power of that arrow, and if such an arrow were shot in their own bodies, it would be good to be pierced through a bloody hole.

"What are you doing in a daze, sail the boat!" Seeing that the two sisters and brothers were a little stunned, Wednesday shouted loudly.

"Oh, oh," the siblings reacted, rowing the oars with all their strength.

The boat flew away from the river bank under the desperate rowing of the sister and brother, and soon disappeared into the vast river.

"First, sir, what now?" it wasn't until she couldn't see the other side that the sister who was holding the boat breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively.

Wednesday frowned and thought for a moment, "What's your name?"

The siblings looked at each other, and the elder sister spoke, "My name is Lindsay Jefferney, and my brother Quint Janverney. ”

"Lindsay, Kun," Wednesday looked at the two sisters and brothers, "I want to continue to hire your boat, would you like to?" said without waiting for the two to refuse, took out ten gold coins from the inventory in the palm of his hand, and directly said his conditions, "This is ten deposits, I will add ten more after crossing the river, a total of twenty gold coins will be counted as the boat fare, but if you want to cross the river at night, do you dare to take it?"
