Fu Tingye looked in the direction of Hua Qingxue's finger. In front of them, there was a passenger ship docked by the river.
It was quiet, with nothing out of the ordinary on the surface, but it gave people a strange atmosphere, seemingly lifeless.
"I know the boatman's family on that boat. They are very good people, but why did they dock the boat in such a disconnected place?" Hua Qingxue was a little confused, but Fu Tingye saw it in an instant. Clues.
As the two ships got closer and closer, the fishy smell in the air gradually spread. He reached out and took Hua Qingxue into his arms, and let her head bury in his chest.
"Don't look!"
Fu Tingye just said it softly, but Hua Qingxue understood it instantly.
Because the smell of blood in the air had gradually become so strong that she couldn't ignore it, she could understand what happened on the ship with her toes.
Suddenly, her whole body became cold.
A somewhat selfish but honest boatman, a boatman's wife who is unprofitable and can't afford to wake up early, and a pair of enthusiastic and kind-hearted children.
Yulian... Her heart clenched when she thought of that sunny and enthusiastic girl.
Sure enough, the bandits had their backs up.
Not just a hole in the bottom of their ship, but devastating revenge!
It was difficult for Hua Qingxue to describe her mood at this moment, which was complicated, lost, panicked, at a loss, and so on.
Fu Tingye sent her back to the room, and then personally took people on board to check. The chance was slim, but he had to go and take a look.
Qin Laowu followed Fu Tingye. The two of them were the first to jump on the boat. The corpses of the boatman and his wife were piled on the deck very conspicuously, with blood stains everywhere. The footsteps with blood marks on the ground were messy. Fu Tingye's eyes were like a torch, and he quickly discovered that among them s difference.
Following a string of bloody footprints, the two came to the cabin. They saw that every room had been searched, things were in a mess, and the aisles were crowded with scattered items.
"General." Qin Laowu walked in front of Fu Tingye. After a while, he suddenly whispered and turned to look at Fu Tingye.
Fu Tingye looked grave. Following Qin Laowu's gaze, he saw a child of seven or eight years old, nailed to the door panel with a spear, and his death was extremely tragic.
"Too cruel! If I catch these thieves, I have to burn them alive to vent my anger." Qin Laowu cursed in a low voice and suddenly punched the door panel next to him.
Fu Tingye stepped forward, pulled out the spear, slowly reached out and covered the child's eyes.
But it was also at this moment that they suddenly discovered that there was an invisible door behind the child. Just as they pulled out their spears, a slight sound came from the door.
Qin Laowu became nervous instantly, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Fu Tingye, making a mouth gesture, which meant that he should go in first.
Fu Tingye nodded slightly.
Qin Laowu kicked open the wooden door and saw that there was a staircase inside. The light was dim and it was so dark that he could not see his fingers.
He stepped forward cautiously, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air. Fu Tingye quickly stepped forward and pushed Qin Laowu away. The next moment, a kitchen knife passed by his face, which was very thrilling.
Cold sweat ran down Qin Laowu's back. If Fu Tingye hadn't stepped forward to take action in time, part of his arm would have been disabled.
"Who is it?!" Qin Laowu shouted: "Who is in there?!"
There was no response from the dark pit. Fu Tingye thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to pull Qin Laowu out.
At this time, the guards had come down and came to the two of them.
"Torches." Fu Tingye said calmly, and a dozen torches were immediately lit. Following that, the guards with torches filed in, and soon the inside was brightly lit.
"No! Don't come here!"
A woman's scream came,
Qin Laowu and Fu Tingye hurried down, and saw a disheveled woman holding a stick in her hand, roaring hysterically, and preventing the surrounding guards from getting close. However, Fu Tingye's soldiers were not intimidated by her, and only one of them seized the opportunity. Then he kicked him from behind.
The woman knelt down in response and was instantly restrained, unable to move.
"Ah! You kill me! Kill me!"
The woman screamed as fiercely as a slaughtered pig, and she was taken out by Fu Tingye's people after a while. When she came to the deck and saw the corpses of the boatman, his wife, and the child, she burst into tears.
"Father, mother, brother, you died miserably."
It turned out to be the boatman's family.
Fu Tingye signaled, and the guards let go of the woman. The woman fell down in front of her family, in agony.
"It's Yulian!" Hua Qingxue heard her shouting just now. At this moment, the two ships were closely adjacent to each other. She quickly ran out to take a look and saw a familiar figure.
"Yulian! Yulian!"
Yu Lian didn't know Fu Tingye's soldiers, and the ship was stranded in this wilderness. Her parents and relatives were all dead. She suddenly heard someone calling her. She was stunned. She looked back with tears in her eyes and saw Hua Qingxue calling from the ship next door. she.
For a moment, I was moved, sad and angry all at once, crying and crying: "Girl, girl..."
Hua Qingxue felt sad when she saw her, and she quickly asked the guards to support her and ran over. As she expected, the vengeful bandits killed Yulian's whole family.
She stepped forward and held Yulian in her arms: "Don't cry! Don't cry! My condolences...poor Yulian."
Fu Tingye and Qin Laowu watched this scene silently.
"General, should we seize the bandits' den and eliminate harm for the people?" Qin Laowu was filled with righteous indignation and wished he could rush to the bandit's den and start killing!
Fu Tingye shook his head heavily: "Quiet this girl, let's go back to Shengjing first. This is not under our jurisdiction. If we act rashly, we will leave someone to blame.
"
Qin Laowu nodded. He understood the stakes, but he was still a little confused after all.
"Yulian, don't cry. This is General Fu Tingye. Come back with us." Hua Qingxue also knew better and wanted to calm Yulian's emotions first.
Yu Lian burst into tears. She heard Hua Qingxue talking about General Fu Tingye, but she had never heard of it, but since he was a general, he must be very powerful. She suddenly thought of something, turned around and knelt down in front of Fu Tingye: "General! General ! Please ask the general to eliminate harm for the people, kill these bandits, and avenge Yulian’s family!”
"Girl, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Qin Laowu was also embarrassed for Fu Tingye. After all, he had just asked for help but did not get approval, so he could only step forward to persuade Sister Yulian.
Fu Tingye looked at Yulian lightly and said nothing for the time being.
Qin Laowu wanted to help her up, but when he noticed the difference between men and women, how could he help her up, and he became even more anxious.
"Sister, please get up. This matter needs to be considered in the long term. You believe that our general will definitely uphold justice for you." Qin Laowu said, while looking at Fu Tingye's face, he didn't seem worried, and then he felt relieved. Come on, continue: "You can get up."
His words were ambiguous. If you were someone who was calm and thinking clearly, you would naturally know that the other person was just making an excuse.
But Sister Yulian was in a different mood at this time.
Hearing Qin Laowu's comforting words, he was sure that Fu Tingye would avenge her, and he became excited: "Really! Will the general take action? I would like to thank the general in advance! General, Yulian has nothing to repay, so I will kowtow three times to you."
Just as he was saying this, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed. However, it failed. Her head was held by a strong hand. Yulian raised her head for no apparent reason and met Fu Tingye's calm and deep eyes.
"You should get up first."
His voice carried a magical power that forced Yulian to obey and stand up obediently.
Fu Tingye continued: "I will definitely get rid of the thieves who prey on the common people with such cruel methods, but not now. Now we have to go back to Shengjing for something. If you believe me and give me a month, I will definitely give you an explanation. how?"
"Great, the general agreed, Yulian, you can rest assured." Hua Qingxue also persuaded from the side: "Bury your family first, it is important to lay them in peace."
Yulian shed another two lines of tears and held her hands to Fu Tingye: "Thank you, general, thank you... and thank you, girl."
It can be seen that Hua Qingxue has a very good relationship with the general. If the general agrees to take action, he probably has more or less respect for the girl.
Although Yulian is young, she has learned a lot of skills in seeing things with her parents over the years.
At the moment, Fu Tingye asked the guards to help bury Yulian's family, and returning to his ship again delayed his trip for half a day.
"Can we reach Hancheng today?" Hua Qingxue couldn't help but ask Fu Tingye.
Fu Tingye looked at the sky and nodded: "Okay."
Yulian insisted on sailing her family's boat back, but neither Fu Tingye nor Hua Qingxue agreed. After thinking about it, they sent guards to sail her boat. She experienced family changes and stayed with Hua Qingxue. Since people know each other, they can also talk to each other and express their feelings.
Hua Qingxue also likes to stay with Miss Yulian. She thought that Cheng Wanmiao would come to her room again to show her courtesy during most of the day. Unexpectedly, Cheng Wanmiao did not show up all day long until later. After arriving in Hancheng and docking, Hua Qingxue heard that Cheng Wanmiao seemed to be seasick and vomited violently. In the end, she couldn't even move. Fu Tingye arranged for two guards to carry her off the ship on a stretcher.
Haishixuan looked at Cheng Wanmiao lying on the stretcher, feeling so distressed that he wished he could suffer for her.
By some strange coincidence, he followed the stretcher all the way.
They definitely couldn't return to Shengjing City that night, so they stayed in Fu Tingye's villa.
Zhuangtou had met Hua Qingxue before and knew that her relationship with the general was unusual. Although there was no nominal status, the friendship was equivalent to that of a family, so he naturally arranged for Hua Qingxue to have the best sex. Not only did she go out It's the atrium patio, which is also next to Yulian's room.
I think the two sisters also have a lot to say.
However, the head of the village did not know Cheng Wanmiao's identity, so he randomly arranged a medium-sized guest room for Cheng Wanmiao and her maid to stay, which made Cheng Wanmiao extremely angry.
She was so weak from vomiting on the boat that she started a huge fire when she got to the room. She threw all the decorations in the guest room on the ground. Even so, she still didn't understand her hatred. With a swish, she threw all the decorations on the table. The teapot and water cup were thrown out of the house, smashing into pieces with a bang.
