Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 128 The Spark of Life

(1)

The quiet moonlight sprinkled on the river surface, accompanied by the galaxy reflected in it, and the ripples swaying with the oars were looming.The merchant ship sailed alone and peacefully in the dark night. This quiet and stable feeling does not remind people of words about conspiracy or frame-up.Even if the waves stirred up would shake the hull from side to side, it would be difficult to break this calm.

Who would have known that the people in that cabin had just escaped a fatal disaster.And they would never have imagined that such hard-won peace would not last long.Maybe as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, the joy of their escape and survival will be replaced by another emotion with a deeper impact.

Lao Zhou, a boatman who is over half a century old, is an old friend of the Zhang family in Xiahe Town.He has spent half his life sailing on the Yellow River with his young crew members, and he thinks he is well-informed enough.So what happened tonight made him realize that the guests on his boat would definitely not be simple people.At the ferry in Xiahe Town, judging by the chasing officers and soldiers and so many arrows galloping, it is very likely that Lao Zhou's boat carried a few wanted criminals.

Therefore, Lao Zhou measured the wind direction on the deck, and after the commander adjusted the canvas and course, he retreated to the cabin early to rest, and explored the reality of these troublesome guests by the way.

The resting place of Lao Zhou and the rest of the crew is only separated from the resting place of the passengers by a piece of wood, so they only need to lightly cut a hole in the corner, and they can see the guests clearly.Lao Zhou has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, if he didn't have these two tricks, he would have to go around sooner or later.

After discussing for a while, Lao Zhou planned to bring a few young and strong crew members to the compartment to visit the door, and then send someone to watch in the dark. If there is any abnormality or abnormality, he will knock on the wooden wall as a secret signal.

Just like that, Lao Zhou came to the cabin where the guests were resting, and knocked on the curtain.After a long while, the tall and rich young man came to answer the door, and then he bowed to Lao Zhou and asked, "Old Chuan, what's the matter with you coming to visit so late?"

Lao Zhou replied, "My lord, who are the three who just boarded the boat?"

"Old Boatman, those three are my friends. I asked you to wait outside the river for a long time, just to pick them up!"

"But...but I can see that there are many officers and soldiers chasing after him! There are no criminals in this boat..." After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he ordered the accompanying crew members to set up a few wooden sticks and forcefully push the young man away.Despite being warned by the young master's words, Lao Zhou and others did not need to know the details, but Lao Zhou still pretended not to hear and forced his way in.

I saw three women waiting in the cabin, an injured man, and a "tomboy" who was neither male nor female.A strangely dressed foreign woman slept on a bed made of straw, leaning against the wall, which happened to separate the place where Lao Zhou lived from the crew; It was sad, but when they saw Lao Zhou and others breaking in suddenly, they all became nervous in a hurry.They were very keen to hide the man lying on one side and another girl in yellow and green clothes behind.

"Why did you break in so suddenly! Still holding a mallet, relying on a few big men to bully us women?" The girl in red said angrily, "Zhao Kuo, drive them out!"

Zhao Kuo replied: "Hehe...Miss E Wu, this is really embarrassing..."

"Girl, what on earth do you guys do? Why do you let the government chase after you?" Old Zhou asked.

A girl in her early 15s complained next to her: "Old Chuan, are you Lao Zhou? Do you recognize Zhang Yi, the medical officer in Xiahe Town, who bought this boat? Miss E Wu It's his cousin!"

"So that's how it is!" Old Zhou repeatedly replied, "Dr. Zhang is honest and generous, and won the hearts of the people. Since he is a friend of Dr. Zhang, then I, Old Zhou, will not bother to ask."

As soon as the voice fell, Lao Zhou was about to turn back.Unexpectedly, the foreign girl who had been sleeping in the corner suddenly exclaimed: "Ahh! Look, there is someone behind the wall!"

Old Zhou Xun looked around, only to find that the person who was secretly following him had been exposed.Just when she couldn't argue, that Miss E Wu took the opportunity to get angry, took out the two knives beside her, and bullied herself in front of Lao Zhou, holding his throat.

"What's your intention? Actually, there is a secret whistle in the boat?" E Feiying put her right hand in a defensive posture, and her left hand pointed at the opponent's throat.

"Miss E Wu, don't be impatient! It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Lao Zhou trembling his wrinkled hands, ordered a few servants to call the companions in the cubicle, and shouted at them one after another. The guest apologized, "These young guys on the boat have been working hard on the water all day, and they haven't seen a girl for a long time. No, I just ran into a few more, and it's inevitable that the spring heart will sprout, and I want to see more..."

After all, Lao Zhou pretended to be angry and reprimanded those young people who were watching him.

Seeing that the old man was not malicious, Zhao Kuo immediately said: "In short, we are all friends, and Miss E Wu can put down the weapon. Afterwards, can't we just block the hole?"

After hearing this, E Feiying nodded in agreement, and immediately went back to the injured man. The conflict caused by the misunderstanding was just resolved...

Until the next morning, the man who had been asleep for a long time woke up.

For some reason, in this stuffy cabin, Baifeng didn't feel so hard, even though he was hurt.

It occurred to him quite naturally that he must be in the good care of others to feel good about himself.So, he subconsciously went to find that person.

Sure enough, after searching around for a while, he found the other party next to him.At this time, Murong Yan was dozing off on the straw bed, unsuspecting.

Bai Feng didn't want to disturb anyone, so he planned to go on the deck to relax.Unexpectedly, when her eyes moved to the door, she saw E Feiying standing there with a knife in her arms, her eyes closed as if asleep.A rich daughter who likes to order others, actually started a job as a doorman?
Seeing the other party working so hard, Bai Feng woke her up softly, "Miss E, wake up!"

"Bai...Baifeng?" E Feiying looked at the other party with sleepy eyes in surprise, and said, "You are not dead? You escaped to the boat last night, your clothes were covered in blood, and you passed out completely. I thought... You can't do it..."

After E Feiying finished speaking, she couldn't help lowering her eyes and sobbing.At this time, Bai Feng also noticed that his upper body was covered with blood-stained white cloth, so he replied: "Miss E, although the injury has not healed, but it is fine now, you stood here all night last night, right? Why don't you take a break now?"

"Okay, be careful yourself..." After E Feiying finished speaking, she ran to the side again, brought the young man's sword, and said, "I brought your sword back, although I don't know that Shaoxia Bai is holding this What's the use of a broken sword, but it's important to you, right?"

"thanks……"

The young swordsman then put on the cloak that those unknown knights had covered his head last night, and took the Dragon Crying Sword, saying goodbye to him.
