Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 159

"If you kill her, what should her master do if she finds out? No, don't kill her, why don't you tie her up first?" In the dark bilge, one could also see the frightened face of the boat lady.

Hearing this, the man loosened his grip.

Dan Xin wanted to yell immediately, but before she could make a sound, someone slapped her neck hard.The body fell limply on the cabin, and the cry was swallowed softly.

"Si Niangzi, have you seen Danxin? Sister Danxin made medicine for the lady, and she hasn't come back until now. I even told her to hurry up!" Jin Xiang stood outside Shen Xinniang's cabin, and saw that she was holding a Shen Siniang, who had a bowl of fish cakes, asked.

Shen Siniang shook her head, "Didn't you see it? I'm here with my sister, why don't you look for it?"

Jin Xiang nodded, "Then I'm going to trouble Fourth Lady."

"What are you talking about! What's the trouble for me to accompany my sister?" Shen Siniang smiled, "Go!"

After finishing speaking, he took a bowl of fish cakes and knocked on the door of the cabin, "Sister, are you asleep?"

"Didn't sleep." Shen Xinniang's voice came, "Come in."

Shen Siniang smiled and pushed open the door, "Is sister reading again? No wonder sister knows so much! The boat lady just made fish cakes, and I tasted good. The maid said she didn't see sister's maid go down to get fish cakes, so I gave them to her." Sister brought some over."

"Leave it alone." Shen Xinniang didn't raise her eyes, she was holding Yang Zi's "Taixuan Jing" in her hand, her gaze stayed on one page, and she didn't turn it for a long time, as if she was looking at it seriously, thinking about something .In fact, she didn't see the words in the book, but she kept recalling the time when Master explained the "Taixuan Sutra" to them.

"I'm really not used to the food on the fishing boat. How did they get by on the boat all year round?" Shen Siniang said, "Only the fish cake tasted pretty good. I don't think my sister would use much food, right?"

As Shen Siniang said, she got up with the fish cake, came to Shen Xiniang's side, and gave the fish cake to her.

Shen Xinniang didn't refuse, she really wasn't used to eating the food on the fishing boat, she was still a little hungry at the moment, when she was holding the fish cake and was about to put it in her mouth, the palm of her left hand suddenly became hot.

She shook her hand, and the fish cake fell back into the bowl.Shen Xinniang looked suspiciously at her left hand, and the burning sensation seemed to subside.

She picked up the kamaboko with her left hand again, and sure enough, the burning feeling in her palm returned.

"This fish cake..." Before Shen Xiniang finished speaking, Shen Siniang, who was holding the bowl, staggered.

She raised her hand and pressed her forehead, "Sister, it's my first time to take such a big boat, and I'm a little seasick."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't stand still, her feet swayed wildly, and the fish cake in the bowl fell to the ground. She even bumped into the low cabinet and held on to the low cabinet to stand still, "Why does the big boat shake like this?" ? It's like riding a small raft." Shen Siniang asked while holding her forehead.

"There is a problem with the fish cake!" Shen Xinniang instructed, "You stand firm!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cabin, "Jinxiang—Danxin—"

The side of the boat was empty, and there were no figures of the two maidservants.

"They went... Maybe they went to the kitchen..." Shen Siniang fell down on the ground along the cabinet in the room, murmuring a little confused.

Shen Xinniang didn't hear what she said, and couldn't care less about it at this moment, so she hurriedly went to look for Qin Ran, "Qin Langjun, there is something wrong with the fish cake!"

Shen Xinniang ignored the Qin family attendants who were blocking Qin Ran's door, kicked the door and said.

Standing by the window, Qin Ran, whose hair was blown tousled by the wind in the river, and with a dazed expression on his face, turned around, "What did you say?"

"Go to Chuanniang! There is something wrong with the fish cake, this must be the first move, if you are not prepared, you will definitely have the second move." Shen Xinniang said.

Qin Ran ordered people to inform the people on the boat that they could not eat fish cakes, and at the same time ordered people to find the boat mother.

Before the boat lady was found, she heard someone on the deck yelling in panic: "The boat is leaking—"

At this time, the person who had eaten the kamaboko felt weak, as if he was seasick, could not stand steadily, and wobbled.

"Young master, someone is digging a boat underwater!" The Qin family's entourage rushed forward to report.

Shen Xiniang quickly turned around and went back to her cabin, found a water bag, poured the water from Lingquan Baiquan into the bottle, turned around and went outside, helped Shen Siniang who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, leaning on the low cabinet, and put Pour some spring water into her mouth.

Shen Siniang's eyes moved, she fed some spring water again, and shook Shen Siniang's shoulder, "Take care of yourself."

She went to look for Qin Ran and handed the water bag to Qin Ran, "It may be useful for those who have already eaten fish cakes."

Qin Ran glanced at her, took it in surprise, nodded quickly, and told others to pass it on.

The boat was sinking little by little, Qin Ran had already ordered someone who was familiar with water to jump into the water and swim down to check the situation.

In the twilight of the evening, patches of bright red suddenly floated on the surface of the river.It is the color of blood.

"Have you found the boat lady?" Shen Xiniang asked with a frown.

Qin Ran shook his head, "Not yet, there is not enough manpower, and he is in a hurry."

Shen Xinniang nodded, didn't say any more, went down to the bottom cabin to look for someone, raised her head inadvertently, and saw the dead bodies floating on the river surface, drifting lifelessly in the twilight.

"Danxin—Jinxiang—" Shen Xinniang called from among the bottom warehouses.

But the hurried footsteps on the deck and the panicked shouts in the river suppressed her voice to a low level.

As the Lingquan water was passed on to drink, more and more people from the Qin family went into the water, and more and more people rushed to the plywood to shoot arrows into the water.

Shen Xinniang shuttled between the bottom cabins, and suddenly a very small cabin door was closed and locked outside, which caught her attention.She stepped forward quickly, raised the mahogany sword in her hand and slashed at the copper lock with mottled green embroidery.

Suddenly, a palm wind came from behind the ear.

Shen Xinniang turned sideways immediately, barely avoiding it.And the palm wind was extremely fast, and struck her face again.

She stabbed the mahogany sword with her backhand to the palm that hit her with the force of the wind.

"How about scaring people with a piece of broken wood that children play with?" The man smiled and patted his palm on the mahogany sword indifferently.

When the blunt mahogany sword pierced through his palm without any hesitation, the man's eyes widened, as if he had even forgotten the pain, leaving only an expression of disbelief.

"This... this... ah—" he just called out.

But Shen Xinniang's mahogany sword has been pulled out from his palm, and the tip of the sword is pointing at his throat, "Say, where are you locked up?"

The man looked at the blunt wooden sword pressed against his neck, with his own blood dripping on it, and he didn't dare to be careless, "I don't know."

"Then it's useless to keep you." After Shen Xinniang finished speaking, she was about to do it.

The man seemed to feel the pain of the sharp knife scratching his throat, and quickly shouted, "I know, I know! It's in the warehouse above!"

The mahogany sword slashed across his throat without hesitation, the man stared in horror and raised his hand to cover his neck before falling to the ground.

Shen Xinniang split the brass lock on the small door behind her and kicked open the cabin door.

It was dark inside, with scattered debris piled up, but there were no figures of Dan Xin and Jin Xiang.

She hurriedly headed for the warehouse at the end of the first floor above the bottom warehouse. Before reaching the warehouse, she was stopped by the Qin family. The Lord asks you to leave in a small boat."

Shen Xiniang frowned, "Let him go first, Shen Siniang is on the top floor, remember to take her with you."

As she spoke, she bypassed the people standing in front of her and rushed towards the warehouse.

"Miss Shen, the young master is waiting for you on the boat! There are not many boats, please don't delay any longer!" The Qin family turned and blocked her way.

"Get out of the way!" Shen Xinniang was a little annoyed, and raised her hand to slap the Qin family who were in front of her with a mahogany sword.

The Qin family frowned, hesitated for a moment, reached out and grabbed Shen Xinniang's arm, and dragged her to the place where the boat was put down, "My young master said, even if you are tied, I will tie you there!"

Shen Xinniang shouted coldly: "Wait for me to find my maid first."

"When you get ashore, my young master will buy you a new maid!" the man pestered.

Shen Xinniang stopped talking nonsense with him, and knocked the mahogany sword on the back of his head with her backhand.The peach wood sword that was sharp when it cut the neck was like a blunt weapon at this moment, it knocked the man stiff and limp to the ground.

Shen Xinniang almost fell down when she was led by him, squatted down and broke his hand, and flew towards the cargo warehouse at the stern.

The door of the warehouse was also locked. She swung her sword to split the copper lock and kicked open the hatch, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to rise inside.

She covered her mouth and squinted to see, the smoke and dust fell, and there were two people lying on the ground.

Jin Xiang fell to the ground on her back, Dan Xin was tied up, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, and she curled up beside Jin Xiang.

Seeing the door opened, Dan Xin closed her eyes to get used to the light outside, and seeing Shen Xinniang stepping in, she whimpered eagerly.

Shen Xinniang waved the mahogany sword, and after a few steps, she cut off the rope tied around her body, and stepped forward to pull the rag stuffed in her mouth.Turning to Jin Xiang's side, he stretched out his hand to test Jin Xiang's breath, and he was still breathing.

On her white and tense cheeks, her expression relaxed, she bent over to pick up the stunned Jin Xiang, and walked out.

After walking two steps, seeing that Dan Xin didn't keep up, she looked back, "Can I still walk by myself?"

Dan Xin regained her senses in a daze, and struggled to get up. She had been tied up for too long, her whole body was already numb, her legs softened, and she threw herself on the deck again.

Shen Xinniang supported Jin Xiang on her shoulder with one hand, took two steps back, and held Dan Xin with the other hand.

He helped the two of them out of the cabin, and at this moment, he saw that many of the Qin family had already boarded the boats, except for the boats that quickly paddled to both sides of the river, there were only corpses lying on the water.

Dan was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still, but Shen Xiniang held her hand firmly and firmly.

She leaned on the lady, managed to stabilize her mind, and walked forward following the steps of the lady.

The deck was already wet with water, and the water was about to completely submerge the deck.There was a small boat parked beside the big boat. Seeing Shen Xinniang and the three of them, he quickly waved to her, "Here, here——Ms. Shen, come up quickly!"

The boat is not big, there are already a few people sitting on it.

Seeing Shen Xinniang carrying one person and supporting another person, the boatman on the boat turned pale, "Only one more person can come up! Two at most, otherwise no one will be able to leave!"
