The pier is docked.
There was no sadness at all about the farewell this time. The boys were laughing and looking forward to the journey ahead.
The three adults went even further. They even forgot to be polite and didn't even say hello when they got off the boat.
As soon as the person stepped on the pier with his front foot, the cargo ship quickly left the shore with his back foot, and the paddle left an afterimage.
Bai Xiaofeng, "Humph."
Poison cannot invade, "Bah!"
The two stood at the crowded pier, their eyes meeting and looking away.
Bai Xiaofeng said, "Boys, follow me. If you lose me, you will beg for food and go home. I am not responsible."
Poison Buguo has Tianbao in one hand and Bai Yu in the other, "Let's go! I won't beg for food!"
Tianbao gives the most face, "Bai Yu is rich!"
Bai Yu hissed, "Don't reveal your wealth, just one hundred taels and fifty silver notes!"
Su Wen and Su Wu, who hadn't gone far, twitched the corners of their mouths. Just sneer! When I turned back and slipped into the street, everyone was stolen!
Humph, what are you showing off for?
Su Wen, "We don't need to carry money, we can have food with Uncle Changdong!"
Su Wu, "Uncle Changdong is everywhere in restaurants! Let's get out of here when we're full!"
The two groups of people blended into the crowd and went their separate ways, each in high spirits.
Not far from the pier, you can see the tall and majestic city gate in the distance.
The city gate has a majestic inscription - Yedu.
"Yedu? Jie Jie Jie Jie! The bearded man is quite reliable this time, so he left it here for us!" When the old man saw those two words, his triangular eyes sparkled, and he rubbed his hands in excitement.
Bai Yu, "Grandpa Du, is Ye a good place?"
"Ye is a capital city in the south of the Yangtze River. Have you heard of this sentence? Jiangnan is so rich! There are so many rich people living in the city!"
Tianbao understood immediately, clenched his little fists, "hoe the strong and help the weak!"
Bai Yu, "rob the rich and give to the poor!"
Old man, "Let's go!"
After walking a few steps, Bai Yu thought about something different, "The exile is in the northwest, and the bearded man put us in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't this road a bit far?"
"It's better to stay away! Why are you going back so soon? There's a lot of fun outside. Grandpa Du will take your time to play!"
The old man didn't care at all and rushed straight into the city.
On the other hand, Bai Xiaofeng took Su Wen and Su Wu along another route, rented a carriage directly from the horse dealer outside the dock, got in and drove in the opposite direction to Yedu.
"Uncle Feng, aren't we going into the city?" Su Wu asked innocently, scratching his head.
Bai Xiaofeng glanced at him lazily and said, "The emperor's men have long since found out that we were escaping on the ship. There must be royal spies in various capitals and docks. Maybe there are people watching behind us now. Let's get rid of them first and make it safe."
Su Wen's eyes suddenly widened, "Is someone watching? We ran away, but Grandpa Du has entered the city, and Big Beard and my elder brother are still on the boat. Aren't they in danger?!"
Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips, opened the folding fan, and said leisurely, "There is a life-saving talisman that prevents poison from being invaded, so the danger is not there. But for the bearded man, maybe."
"..."
Su Wen, "I hope you have a safe journey, big brother."
Su Wu, "Ask for your own blessings."
Both said, "Alas."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes twitched and he looked out the window.
What kind of stuff did Huo Ziheng teach?
Is conscientious brotherhood valued at one and a half cents?
…
After the cargo ship left the shore, it immediately changed its course and returned to the place of exile.
The bearded man felt very comfortable. He prepared a table of delicious food and two jars of wine for himself in the cabin. He drank until his neck turned red and hummed a tune that was not in tune.
Su An was lying on the side of the window. The sunshine on the August river mixed with the slightly fishy smell of the river water gave it a different kind of freshness.
The whole canal is full of boats, and the white waves are covered with golden light.
"Uncle Bearded, are there always so many boats on the canal? When there are many boats, will we not be able to avoid collisions?" he asked.
The God of Plague sent them away one by one, and the little one who stayed with him could be ignored. The bearded man was in a good mood and did not hesitate to say a few more words, "What a collision, our business at Pier 12 is based on river traffic, and the people selected to steer the boat are all qualified." An old sailor with many years of experience collides with a ship? Whoever dares to let the ship collide, I will bang his head on the ship!"
Su An wiped her face and pointed to the back of the boat, "The boat behind seems to want to hit us. Should we hit it with their heads or the old sailor's head?"
"..." The bearded man leaned half of his body out of the boat window, glanced back and said a few words about mother.
There are three ships lined up directly behind the cargo ship. At first glance, they look like ordinary transport ships, but the figures swaying on the ships are clearly capable, and there is no trace of charlatanism in them.
"It's the pursuers! These bastards saw that there were fewer people on my boat, so they came out to look for trouble!"
Do hawks and dogs still assess the situation? Seeing that he was alone, he ran out and jumped around?
If you come out earlier, I will respect you for being a man and treating your mother!
When Su An heard this, he immediately took out a bulging bag from his lap and stuffed it into his hand, "This is the poisonous smoke bomb Grandpa Du gave me before he got off the boat! He said it can be used when there are pursuers who can't be beaten!"
After saying that, he took out two sleeve crossbows from his sleeves and gave one to Big Beard, "This is from Uncle Changdong. Don't let it be exposed easily. Use it as a hidden weapon in times of crisis. You can save your life by attacking the enemy unprepared!" "
The bearded man looked at the things in his hands with an expressionless expression, "What else are you hiding?"
Su Antan pulled off a small cloth bag from the hem of her robe and opened it. Inside was a pair of pear needles glowing black, "This is from Tianbao."
"Used to stab the enemy?"
"..." No, Tianbao said that if you want to be treacherous, I will stab you.
With these words hidden in his heart, Su An nodded firmly, "Yes! Prick the enemy! Bearded uncle, I am with you!"
"You are sweet-mouthed and smooth-tongued! Humph, those three boats behind you want me to run away with your head in your hands? Who are you looking down on? Come along, I will show you what Pier 12 is capable of!"
Do you really think that he was a coward after being pressed down and beaten in the exile?
That's no good time to play!
Brat, let me give you a long experience!
Behind the bottom of the ship, there is a row of tiny openings, with a mechanism behind each opening.
The bearded boy led the boy around the mechanism. He pressed his hand lightly on the mechanism, and several things as thin as silk threads shot out from the small hole.
Su An immediately lay down to the side of the lookout port and looked out, only to hear the thin wire stably penetrate the rear hull, and when it was pulled back, it directly pulled the ship board there.
The river immediately surged in, causing the boat to tilt and deviate from its course.
Su An: My mother!
The half-grown boy turned around and jumped on Big Beard's back, hugging his neck with both hands and cheering, "Uncle Big Bearded, you are so awesome!"
"Let go and get down! Who asked you to come up!" The bearded man felt uncomfortable all over and tried to throw him down.
I can't shake it off.
"I didn't expect such a small silk thread to be so strong. What is it made of?"
"Huh, can I tell you the silk pulled out of the Sky Swallowing Net, my trump card?"
"I saw it all!"
"It's no use seeing it, you don't have it!"
"Hahaha! As long as you have it! Bearded uncle, can you show me more?"
"roll!"
The excitement under the cabin lingered for a long time.
The setting sun shines slantingly, and the canal in August is warm and meandering.
