"What did you say? Is there something under the water?"

Qi Yang nodded: "Yes, Boss Cai, go to the boatman, and let all the guards come to the deck."

The reeds are indeed a good place for ambush, especially it is not long from here to the ferry in Lin'an County. The ferry is patrolled by officials from the government. The reeds are hands-on, so when merchant ships pass by here, they will subconsciously relax their vigilance.

Qi Liang believed in his own ear-something came down the water, and the target of the other party was their merchant ship.

This matter is different from Xiaoke, Boss Cai's expression changed instantly, and he ran towards the cabin quickly.

And Qi Li didn't leave the deck, he looked around and took the harpoon from the other side.

As a weapon, it is very easy to use. After weighing it, this harpoon quickly became accustomed to its feel.

Qi Li clawed the edge of the boat and looked at the water, but at this time the sky was completely dark, there were no stars or moon in the sky, the water was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything at all clear.

Qi Li held his breath and looked at him, the darkness did not seem to have any effect on him, he held the harpoon in his hand and kept staring at the water, and soon found a The black thing, and then Qi Li threw the harpoon down.

Qi Li's strength was so great that when the harpoon was thrown out, there was even a faint whistling sound.

He wrapped the hemp ropes around his waist, and then used the strength of his waist to lift the hemp ropes, and the harpoon flew up with a black object and landed heavily on the deck , and at this time it happened that Boss Cai came over with the boss of the boat.

Qi pointed to the thing in the harpoon and looked up at the captain of the boat: "The boatman is all under the water, and someone wants to besiege the merchant ship."

Seeing the thing inserted in the harpoon, the face of the captain of the boat changed immediately, and I saw that the fish was inserted into a small man, his upper body was naked and exposed. His skin is coated with a layer of fish oil, which increases his speed a lot when swimming in the water.

They encountered a water bandit, and looking at the person's dress, he should be a professional water bandit, otherwise he would not smear fish oil on his body. The speed of swimming in the water will increase, and it will be extremely difficult to catch them. The fish oil is smooth, and they look like fish when they are smeared with fish oil, which is extremely difficult to catch.

The captain of the ship blew the whistle immediately, and the rapid whistle echoed on the ship. The boatmen heard the whistle and quickly gathered towards the deck.

"There are water bandits on board, everyone is ready immediately."

Although it has been peaceful for a long time, they have rarely encountered water bandits on this river in the past two years, but the captain of the boat is experienced after all. The sails of the sail were raised, and the things were thrown into the water. Someone else ran directly to the cabin to activate the mechanism, and a row of spikes protruded from the bottom of the boat. In this way, those water bandits who wanted to chisel the boat would not be able to. .

The guards brought by the other merchants on the merchant ship also gathered on the deck to resist the water bandits with them.

Qi Liang did not stay on the deck, but returned to the cabin to stay with Qi Feng.

He believes that the ship boss and the boatmen and guards are enough to solve this crisis. Obviously, he wants to upload it quietly, but since it is discovered, then their possibility of success becomes extremely low.

As expected, the speed of the merchant ship shaking at this time became much faster, and then there was the sound of shouting and killing, and Qi Feng was awakened by the sound outside, and sat up with his body supported.

"Ah, why is it so chaotic outside? Did something happen?"

Qi Feng frowned and asked, even though she had slept for a while, she still couldn't lift a little bit of strength.

"We seem to have encountered a water bandit, but the captain of the ship has already discovered each other and is now leading people to resist the water bandit."

After hearing Qi Li's words, Qi Feng suddenly became nervous. The bandits who killed Sun's family before brought a psychological shadow to Qi Feng. Her heart also picked up, Qi Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Wang's arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice.

"Aliang, are the water bandits as ferocious as the mountain bandits, what should we do if they get on the boat? No, we have to find a place to hide."

Speaking of Qi Feng, she wanted to get up from the bed. She wanted to take Qi Li and quickly find a place to hide.

"No, there is no place to hide in the room, or we should jump off the boat..."

Seeing that Qi Feng was so anxious that he had lost his mind, Qi Li raised his hand and grabbed her arm, looked at her eyes and said seriously.

"Sister, don't be afraid, there are boat bosses and boatmen on the boat, and the merchants on the boat also have guards. Compared with us, they are more afraid of water bandits boarding the boat, don't worry, They will definitely stop the water bandits."

Qi Li's voice was not loud, but the power contained in his voice made Qi Feng slowly relax, but she still grabbed the hem of Qi Li's clothes and turned her ears. Listen to the movement outside.

There were no other thoughts in Qi Feng's mind at this time, she was just thinking, if those people really broke in, then she had to protect Qi Li no matter what.

Fortunately, the thing that Qi Feng was worried about did not happen. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of shouting and killing outside became quieter, and there was no other sound after that.

"A-ran, what happened? Why is there no movement outside? Could it be that the water bandits won? The boat boss and the boat crew will not be killed by the water bandits, Are they going to find us here soon?"

Speaking of Qi Feng, she wanted to pull Qi Wang to hide under the boat. She was really frightened. At this time, she thought that she could hide for a while, and she must not be discovered by those water bandits.

Qi Li patted Qi Feng's arm and said: "Sister, calm down, I heard that the captain of the boat and the others won. If the water bandits win, it won't be so quiet, if you don't worry If so, then I'll go out and take a look."

However, Qi Feng grabbed Qi Li's arm with his backhand, and shook his head towards Qi Li with pale cheeks.

"No, don't go out. I'm not at ease. If something happens, you're not a match for those people."

"Okay, okay, I won't go out. After the water bandits are dealt with, the captain of the ship should soon send someone to notify that it's all right."

Qi Feng reluctantly nodded, but the nervousness on his face still did not subside, no matter how Qi Li comforted her, she couldn't calm down until she could get a definite reply.

Fortunately, after a while, they heard the voice of a boatman from outside.

After hearing what the boatman said, Qi Feng finally let go of her high-hanging heart, she raised her hand and patted her heart, and muttered: "It scared me to death, It's okay."

Qi Li smiled and comforted Qi Feng.

However, the tension can really relieve seasickness. Just now, Qi Feng's heart has been hanging high, for fear that those water bandits will come in, and he didn't notice the shaking of the cabin. Now that he relaxes, Qi Feng I felt that the symptoms of seasickness were relieved a lot, which was a pleasant surprise.

The captain of the ship is also very powerful. Most of the water bandits were killed by the captain of the ship. In addition, he captured two water bandits alive. After the ship docked, he handed them over to The yamen patrolling the ferry.

"Mr. Qi, the captain of the ship said that it was thanks to you this time, otherwise they would be caught by these water bandits. At that time, how could things be as easy as they are now? solve?"

These water bandits are extremely fierce. They are not just trying to make money. If they are caught on the boat by the water bandits, the lives of these people on the boat will not be guaranteed.

Boss Cai rushed to the cabin where Qi Li was, thanked him repeatedly, and invited him to live in some better cabins. If there was only Qi Li, he would refuse, but There was another Qi Feng, and Qi Li readily agreed.

Qi Feng didn't know what Qi Wang did at all. Seeing that Boss Cai was so polite to Qi Fang, it made Qi Feng feel very strange and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Ah, what the **** is going on, why is Boss Cai suddenly being so polite to you?"

Qi Liang explained: "It's nothing, just now I heard movement in the water on the deck, and told Boss Cai that there might be something under the water, probably because of this reason, they found that there were water bandits thinking To board the ship, that just in time to prevent a disaster."

Qi Feng is not very courageous, so Qi Li did not tell her that he killed a water bandit with a harpoon, and Boss Cai is a good person, after hearing Qi Li say this, It didn't even mention it.

"Qi Gongzi's ear is extraordinary, if it weren't for him today, our whole ship would suffer. There was no good room on the ship before, so I can only wrong you to live here, but just now at the ferry port When someone got off the boat, just two rooms were vacated."

Both Qi Li and Qi Feng knew that what Boss Cai said had a lot of water, but the other party was well-intentioned, and neither of them exposed Boss Cai.

After this incident, Boss Cai's attitude towards Qi Li took a 180-degree turn. If he had doubts about Qi Li's identity before, now Those doubts were gone.

Because of the change of Boss Cai's attitude, the treatment of Qi Li and Qi Feng has improved a lot. The food they ate before was very ordinary, except for mixed rice, which was green vegetables. More fish and pork etc.

These meals are all made by the cooks on the boat, and the taste is naturally not as good as the dishes made by those cooks in the big hotel, but because the ingredients are fresh, they taste different.

Previously, due to seasickness, she had a bad appetite and could not eat anything. After what happened last night, her seasickness symptoms improved a lot, and she was finally able to eat something.

The trip for the next three days was calm and nothing happened again. By the evening of the fourth day, the merchant ship stopped at Jizhou Chengdukou.

At this time, it has been more than half a year since the two of them left Jizhou City, and in the original plot, Qi Feng did not return to her hometown even to death, when she set foot in Jizhou again When she was on the land of the city, Qi Feng suddenly felt a burst of sourness in her heart. Tears filled her eyes unknowingly. When she didn't notice, the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Why is she crying?

Qi Feng raised her hand and touched her face in a daze. When she touched the tears on her face, she couldn't help being stunned - going home should be a happy thing, why did she cry?

Just when she was stunned, Qi Yan handed over a handkerchief and said softly: "It's a joy for my sister to come home, we should laugh, okay, don't cry, we You can see your parents soon, do you want your parents to see you crying?"

Qi Feng silently took the handkerchief and wiped the tears off her face. Yes, the whole person is much more relaxed.

Qi Zhang found someone to write a handwritten letter, and then asked the guy brought by Boss Cai to send it to Qi's house.

"If my parents see this letter, they will definitely send someone to pick us up. Boss Cai, as long as the quality of your cloths is good, I can decide the deal."

Boss Cai said with a smile: "Young Master Qi, you can rest assured. My items have absolutely no quality problems."
