After the second floor became quiet, Zhou Yunshu raised her head and glanced at the moonlight.
It's almost the end of Haishi now, and it's almost an hour away from the ugly hour mentioned by the two people just now.
Zhou Yunshu sighed slightly. Originally, she thought she could take a boat safely and then leisurely enjoy the scenery in the river.
Now it seems that this beautiful wish has come true. Why is there no time to calm down?
But isn't the young master He Niazhang they are talking about the current head of the He family?
It turned out that the wedding party when they boarded the ship today were there to marry He Niazhang. According to their wishes, He Niazhang's only son was also on the passenger ship.
The Jiang family in their mouth should be another big local snake in Haizhou according to Uncle He, but they are backed by the King of Huainan, and their influence in Haizhou is much less than that of the He family.
Marriage between families is common.
When a married girl dies, it is not unusual for other sisters in the family to continue their marriage.
The advantage of doing this is that it can continue to consolidate the in-law relationship between the two families; secondly, like the He family, the original wife left a child to Master He. In order to better care for and nurture the child, the Jiang family strengthened the child. The relationship with the Jiang family allowed her biological aunt to marry in and become a stepmother, killing two birds with one stone.
But Zhou Yunshu thought of what the woman just said. It seemed that the young lady of the Jiang family did not want the young master Sun of the He family to survive, and even took the initiative to collude with the water bandits in order to let him die.
Zhou Yunshu shook her head, tightened her cloak and walked to the guest room.
It looks like tonight will be a sleepless night.
Within a quarter of an hour, except for the children who were still sleeping soundly and Fang Huiwen who stayed in the room to look after the children, all the people on the third floor gathered in Uncle He's room.
After Zhou Yunshu sat close to the brazier and finished telling what she had just heard, Du Mazi couldn't help but said next to her: "Sure enough, women's hearts are the most poisonous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Mazi felt keenly that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. It was too quiet, and even his heavy breathing became lighter.
He raised his head belatedly and saw Wu Yue, Li and other female family members looking at him expressionlessly across from them.
If eyes could turn into arrows, Du Mazi in front of him would have been pierced by thousands of arrows and died!
Du Mazi quickly waved his hands and explained to the women opposite: "I, I didn't mean that, I meant that the young lady from the Jiang family is really bad, and she is the most vicious."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself, and said with a flattering smile: "Everyone, please forgive me for my bad mouth. I will never talk nonsense again!"
Shopkeeper Liang's wife, Mrs. Li, glanced at him and said, "Forgive me, forgive me. If you don't forgive me, will you become a vicious woman in Brother Du's mouth?"
A strange soft knife inexplicably made the big men opposite, including Du Mazi, shrink their shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was so wrong!"
"Huh!" Mrs. Li nodded to express her forgiveness.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the remorseful Du Mazi with the corners of his mouth raised. To see if he would dare to talk nonsense in the future, she had to find a way to cure his mouth that liked to talk nonsense.
"It's not long before Haishi." Zhou Yunshu looked at Yan Shilei and said: "Uncle Yan, take people to the first floor and secretly tell the He family's boatman, and lie in wait on the first floor to help them control the water bandits who want to board the boat. "
Yan Shilei and others nodded.
"Chunque, you and Xiaojie take Xiaoshan to the second floor and find the residences of the Miss Jiang family and the young master of the He family."
Zhou Yunshu was very interested when she thought about the map in their mouths. She looked at Chunque and continued: "Find a way to find that map."
After speaking, she looked at Feng Xujie and said, "Protect that child, and your kindness will be granted soon."
The He family is a local snake in Haizhou. If Feng Xujie is kind to the He family, it will be a great help for him to consolidate the Feng family's power in Jiangkou.
Chunque and Feng Xujie nodded repeatedly.
"Don't light the candles upstairs." Zhou Yunshu then ordered, "Mom, you, your second aunt, and your sister-in-law keep an eye on the children in the room; hounds and bears, you guard the door of their rooms and hold the knives in your hands. If Just kill anyone who dares to break in."
"It's the boss!"
"Shopkeeper Liang and his sisters-in-law are also staying in the room, wearing masks." Zhou Yunshu took out a packet of medicine from her arms and handed it to shopkeeper Liang, "This is a drug, we must be prepared for those water bandits to come up. .”
Li Jialan and the others always had the drug on them, so Zhou Yunshu didn't give it to them again.
Shopkeeper Liang nodded solemnly and held the drug in his palm.
"Grandpa Xue, you and Uncle He can just stay with me." Zhou Yunshu said, putting her bow and arrow in front of her eyes, putting on the gloves specially customized for her by Li Jialan, and immersed the head of the arrow in a small black In a porcelain bottle.
"Huzi, give me your knife."
Hu Zi obediently handed the knife to Zhou Yunshu.
"This is a poison that seals the throat at the sight of blood, so you must be careful when using the knife. Do you understand?" Zhou Yunshu looked at Huzi and said solemnly.
She dared to use it on Huzi this time because Huzi's knife skills had improved greatly during this period, and she felt that Huzi could control her knife.
The hunting dogs and bears were not given because they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt themselves or one of their own.
When the medicine that seals the throat when blood comes into contact, there is no hope of treatment.
"I know, boss, I will use it carefully."
Huzi solemnly held the handle of the long knife that Zhou Yunshu had applied with medicine in his hand, and carefully brought the blade close to the door panel, for fear that it would accidentally hurt one of his own.
"There are small boats on the first floor of the passenger ship. Go and occupy two of them in advance. If you really have to abandon the boat and escape, send the children away first."
Huzi said seriously: "I know, boss."
Li Jialan and Wu Yue on the side tightened their hearts after hearing this sentence. Their family has the most children.
"Okay, you go back and pack all your valuable things." Zhou Yunshu looked at the people who were looking at her and said: "The worst result is to jump off the ship and escape. If we are separated by then, we will meet in the river. .”
Everyone nodded with serious expressions, and then went out of Uncle He's room in an orderly manner to do what Zhou Yunshu just ordered.
Li Jialan and Wu Yue were the last to leave. Zhou Yunshu looked at the worry on Wu Yue's face and said, "If we really want to abandon the ship and escape, Yunjia will have to follow him."
Wu Yue opened and closed her mouth, and finally just nodded.
Zhou Yunjia has been in a state of seasickness and half-death since he got on the boat. It would be okay if the boat arrived in the river safely, but it was such an unfortunate coincidence that he encountered water bandits on the way and planned to rob the boat.
Even though Zhou Yunjia had not eaten a serious meal for several days now and had no extra strength in his body, he still had to jump into the water when it was time to escape.
"Second Aunt, don't be too nervous. We still don't know how many water bandits are planning to hijack the ship. If there are not many people, maybe there is no need to abandon the ship and escape."
Wu Yue nodded, "Don't worry, Shu'er, we will never hold you back!"
