The quiet night, the silent river surface, and the sudden and sharp female screams can't help but make people's hair stand on end.
However, Qi Liancheng didn't have time to feel horrified. In the next moment, he disappeared on the deck.
In the cabin and the helm room, there was no sign of disorder or fighting. A woman... I should say a girl was squatting in the corner shivering, as if she was inexplicably frightened.
Qi Liancheng opened the door and walked in, asking in a deep voice: "What happened?"
When the girl heard the voice, she raised her head with a look of panic on her face: "Brother... Brother, there are... rats in this room!"
What
Qi Liancheng was stunned... Can any mouse scream so loudly and so terrifyingly? !
What kind of logic is this!
The girl seemed to see a hint of disdain on Qi Liancheng's face, yes! Deep contempt!
She suddenly became unhappy and planned to stand up and confront Qi Liancheng, but the next second, a black shadow slipped under Qi Liancheng's feet, and the courage she had finally accumulated disappeared in an instant.
"Ahhhh!" The pig-like voice came to mind again.
"Tread on it to death! Step on it to death!" The girl screamed and ordered Qi Liancheng.
This made Qi Liancheng very speechless. Although he only obeyed the orders of the third prince, the girl's screams were really annoying at the moment, so he took action without mercy, almost overturning a cabinet in a few steps. After that, Ba Chi stepped on the little mouse's back.
Zhizhi!
The little mouse only had time to exchange this sound before he died.
"Okay, you can start sailing now." Qi Liancheng was speechless and ordered in a deep voice.
The girl took a look at the mouse's corpse, then looked at Qi Liancheng, and instantly changed her title: "Warrior, can I trouble you..."
Qi Liancheng raised his eyebrows with a hint of impatience, and glared with a sharp edge in his eyes.
Probably due to being exposed to the wind and sun on the boat for many years, the girl's skin was a very healthy wheat color. When Qi Lianchen stared at her, she suddenly blushed. But there is a kind of simple and innocent beauty.
Qi Liancheng's eyes finally softened.
"Can you trouble Warrior to help me take the body out? I haven't dared to touch these dirty things since I was a child..." The girl's voice was unconsciously soft.
But this request is... very annoying!
Lao Zhi will help you trample the mouse to death and clean up the body!
The little good impression Qi Liancheng had for her was completely gone again, but he still bent down to pick up the rat's body and took it out with him.
Staring at his clean and tidy back and Yushu Linfeng's figure, the girl suddenly developed a touch of romantic feelings. She held her chin in her hands and said, "What a handsome and manly man."
The moment Qi Liancheng dropped the mouse, he felt numb all over his body, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the floor, but he didn't know why. Maybe it was because the wind was too cold at night.
After walking around the ship, he made sure that Fu Tingye's men had not caught up so quickly, so he planned to go back to his room to rest for a while.
When I passed Hua Qingxue's room, the candle inside was still on. I listened close to the door for a while and found that the third prince and Hua Qingxue were breathing steadily. Could it be that both of them were asleep
But... Asleep? !
Qi Liancheng was in disbelief for a moment, but then he thought about it. Hua Qingxue fainted and was seriously ill. There should be no problem between the two of them... Absolutely not!
Just as Qi Liancheng guessed, in Hua Qingxue's room, Xiao Han was sitting beside him, putting his hand on his head, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
So when she woke up, what she saw was Xiao Han's appearance.
Looking around, there were faint shadows of trees moving outside the window of the room, and there was a faint sound of water. It seemed that he had already boarded the boat.
But what happened to Xiao Han? Could it be that he was watching him all night long to monitor him? !
Hua Qingxue could only guess this possibility. She suddenly opened the quilt and took a look. Her clothes were intact.
Very good, very good, do you want to... take this opportunity to sneak out
She bit her lip and climbed up carefully, but she didn't expect that just a slight movement had already caused Xiao Han to open his eyes.
As if he had just woken up, Xiao Han's eyebrows were still a little worried, but when his eyes focused on Hua Qingxue's body, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.
"you're awake?"
Hua Qingxue was startled, but she didn't expect the other party to be so friendly, so she nodded almost subconsciously.
Xiao Han stretched his arms and stood up: "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Hua Qingxue stiffly shook her head again.
Didn't he just let Qin Laowu go
Why is Xiao Han not angry at all? This, this, this... doesn't follow logic.
Xiao Han came to her, looked at Hua Qingxue's calm expression, and smiled slightly: "You thought you let him knock you out, so I didn't know you were the one who let him go?"
So he knows everything? !
Cold sweat dripped down my back, but I still pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending I didn't understand.
"Haha, little fox." Xiao Han's smile deepened to the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Hua Qingxue's soft face: "It's getting late, you should go to bed quickly."
"..." Hua Qingxue moved to move her face away from the other party's hand.
It's disgusting, okay? I'm not a child.
Sensing the rebellion in her bones, Xiao Han didn't take it seriously, but suppressed his smile: "The more ferocious wild birds are, the more temper they have when tamed. Don't worry, I will wait for the day when you completely surrender."
Wild fowl? !
Hua Qingxue looked down at him in her heart, that was absolutely impossible.
After Xiao Han said this, maybe he finally felt that talking to himself was boring, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
Hua Qingxue suddenly became nervous. The other party neither tied her up nor seemed to have any intention of continuing to monitor her. Could it be that she couldn't see such an obvious opportunity
"That's right." Xiao Han walked to the door and thought of something again: "You can try and see if you can run away."
...He actually guessed his plan.
Xiao Han let Hua Qingxue try to escape so openly, which made Hua Qingxue hesitate.
Could it be that the other party was so confident because he really knew that he couldn't escape
The next moment, the door was closed, and Xiao Han's footsteps gradually became distant, as if he was heading to another room.
There was almost no sound of the lock being locked.
Hua Qingxue jumped out of bed decisively and came to the door to check. It was really not locked!
But whether Xiao Han's words before leaving were a smoke bomb or a counterattack strategy made her a little hesitant.
There is always a chance if you try, if you don't try there is nothing.
Unexpectedly, something Fu Tingye said came out. Like a beacon in the dark night, it illuminates the direction for confused people.
Hua Qingxue took a deep breath and tried it, maybe she would regret that he was not her.
I quickly returned to the bed, put on my shoes and socks, and looked around the room. There was not even a fruit knife, that's all, let's run away. While she was thinking, she ducked out of the room.
Outside is a corridor, lit by a dim kerosene lamp at a long distance.
It seemed just right that it was so dark. She was petite and thin, so it was easy for her to hide in the darkness and crawl forward.
Not long after, Hua Qingxue came to the deck, but was stunned for a moment. The broad river surface reflected the bright moon in the sky, making people's sight very wide.
But precisely because of this, Hua Qingxue found that the boat was sailing in the middle of a river about a hundred meters wide, and the river was flowing very fast. Even a person who knew how to swim might not be able to jump in and swim to the other side, let alone someone like her. A landlubber.
It seemed that Xiao Han was right, he really couldn't escape.
Hua Qingxue was a little frustrated, but she quickly calmed down and had to think of a solution.
After walking around the deck, I found that this passenger ship did not carry any accessories such as boats. There were only many gourds placed on one place on the deck.
The ancients used gourds as lifebuoys, tied them with ropes and put them on the body, or put them on the bottom of a raft, which was a simple water crossing equipment.
Hua Qingxue didn't have time to think too much, and quickly put the strings of gourds on her body, one, two, three times... until her body was already densely wrapped with gourds, suddenly... there was a sound coming from somewhere not far away. Come and laugh.
With a sarcastic and contemptuous sneer.
She heard it very clearly, but she was also startled. The surrounding night was as dark as ink. In the sudden night, a person sneered behind you. What the hell is this
The hair on Hua Qingxue's body stood up in an instant. She looked towards the source of the sound warily and saw a figure sitting on the top of the cabin, staring at her motionless.
He... How long has he been here
Could it be that it existed when I put a gourd on myself... How embarrassing.
"Qi Liancheng?" Hua Qingxue looked at the figure and asked hesitantly.
The opponent jumped down in an instant, with vigorous movements... It turned out to be him.
"What, are you planning to escape like this?" Qi Liancheng came to her: "Are you too naive?"
Damn it!
Hua Qingxue gritted her teeth with hatred: "Can't I just come out to see... the scenery?"
puff!
Qi Liancheng had the urge to laugh, and sat down on the deck beside Hua Qingxue carelessly: "Okay, you continue?"
Hua Qingxue only felt that her gums hurt.
Embarrassed, he took off the gourd from his body. He was really discouraged and finally understood the true meaning of Xiao Han's words.
It turned out that he asked Qi Liancheng to keep vigil, which meant that his every move was under Qi Liancheng's surveillance, so there was no chance of escape.
Hua Qingxue finally threw down the gourd and walked back angrily.
Unexpectedly, it was at this time that the harmonious sound of the water around them was mixed with a little noise. Even a dull person like Hua Qingxue felt something strange, and almost subconsciously leaned towards the edge of the ship. But before he could lean out, he was brought back by a force.
"Danger! Get into the room quickly!" Qi Liancheng whispered in her ear and ordered.
Hua Qingxue only felt that she had been thrown far away by him, and she stumbled to the floor. The next moment, where she had just leaned out, several heads suddenly appeared in front, back, left and right.
Those people were wearing turbans and veils, and their whole bodies were almost pure black. Their movements were swift and fierce, as if they had lightly used the force on the edge of the boat and then turned over one after another.
A group of people gathered around Qi Liancheng.
Under the moonlight, the white knife in his hand is particularly dazzling!
