The pursuers stared at our black shadow from a distance and followed closely. I hope they saw that we only had one boat and no oil or water. It would be best to give up after chasing us.
But they seemed to have discovered that there was a woman on my boat. I could hear some people laughing arrogantly and maliciously, and their pursuit seemed to be getting tighter and tighter.
There is no other good way except to be itchy with hatred. Now is not the time to fight desperately. Being entangled by them is not fun.
Jiang Wanqing and Xiaoyue held each other's hands tightly. She said to Xiaoyue, "Sister Xiaoyue, will nothing happen to us?"
"I promise you in the name of Brother Tian that nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. It will be fine. If it fails in the end, I will stand in front of you, Sister Xiaoyue."
At this time, she could still comfort Jiang Wanqing like this, which made me feel a little relieved.
Behind, the shouting of killing in the mist never stopped. I could tell that the distance between the two sides was not getting closer, but it was nothing scary.
What I'm afraid of is that if they throw their machetes out one after another, it will be dangerous for us if the light is not good at night.
There is no shelter or room to hide in the cabin. I can't take care of five of them by myself.
Maybe the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and they can't see our position clearly. In this case, throwing the knife out is tantamount to disarming us. The fog helped us.
Later, they stopped shouting, so that they could hardly hear our movements. Those people also held their breath and captured the movements we made in front.
The women stopped talking. Liujiao suddenly picked up a few fish from the cabin, which people had left behind when they were transporting them to the shore. She stood up from the boat and threw the fish in different directions with all her strength.
After a while, the sound of fish falling into the water came from various places, and several boats immediately rowed towards the direction of the sound. I took this opportunity to increase my strength, and the boat quietly sailed a little further away.
I don’t know how Nerining collected so many cantaloupe ships in such a short period of time. I guess they must have hidden these ships and weapons in a place that we didn’t find.
In the underground river, we didn't have the chance to thoroughly search their lair. The boulder blocked us.
Banggui Shilan is a small mountainous country. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south. Most of it is mountainous, and near the coast, there are mostly steep cliffs. The small mountain pass where we first landed is really very rare.
It's not a good idea to always run away on the sea like this. There are no barriers on the sea, so we can only run farther and farther away from Tian Wang and the others, making it more difficult for them to rush to rescue.
I plan to, as long as the terrain allows us to go ashore, I will not hesitate to take my wives to abandon the ship and go ashore, and use the dense woods and undulating terrain on the mountains to escape
So I kept driving the boat not far from the coast. Soon, we turned a cliff protruding into the sea and entered a small bay.
They all looked behind them. In the mist, they could only see a few lights and heard people shouting. It seemed that they were determined to catch us today.
Xiaoyue had sharp eyes. She suddenly pointed to the right and whispered to me, "Brother, look over there!"
There, a section of the dark coast suddenly opened up. Under the moonlight, sparkling water shone. It was the mouth of a river.
With almost no hesitation, we sailed in
The mouth of the river is three to five hundred paces wide. The water flow makes no sound, but the speed is not very fast. It is not very difficult to sail the boat.
Tonight, Nie Lining was determined to catch up with us and avenge that one shot. Soon, their voices sounded again behind us.
As I just said, the terrain here is higher in the north and lower in the south, so what is the source of this river?
Later, the water gradually became more turbulent and the boat became more and more difficult to move, so I silently drove it to the shore and jumped out of the boat.
They thought I was going to abandon the boat, so they all stood up and I waved to them and said, "You all stay there, don't move."
There is a thumb-thick and strong cable in the cabin. On the ship, it is always necessary to tie one end of the cable to the bow, hold the other end in your hand, and pull the boat forward along the coast.
Qi Xue picked up the sculls. She has been with Xu Fu for nearly ten years and is no stranger to this. With her helping me, I won’t have to work hard.
In some areas, the river is very shallow, and the bottom of the boat sometimes rubs against the fine sand on the river bottom, causing the forward speed to pause once or twice, but this is hardly a problem for me.
I estimate that if you put a small boat on flat ground and let the five of them sit on it, I will have no problem pulling it up.
But the boat at the back is not good. I have seen the design of the Hami Melon. It can be said that it is specially made for driving in the sea. It has high front and rear, and a large arc at the bottom. Its breaking function is better than our small boat. But here
It's a river
We heard them making noisy noises far away and jumping into the water. It seemed that they were stranded. There were many people on their boats.
After traveling for about five miles, a cliff blocked the way. The river split through the towering cliffs and rushed out from the cracks in the cliffs. The river surface was squeezed into a narrow alley, one person wide, and the water inside was very strong.
We stopped and listened carefully to what was going on behind us. We heard faint voices and the sound of wading in the water. It seemed that they had abandoned the ship before us.
Except for the water gap, there is no way out, and the rest of the place is a towering cliff. It is easier to make a decision at this time, because there is no choice.
I asked everyone to get off the boat, cut off the cable with a sword, and the boat became light and drifted slowly downstream along the current.
We won’t have much time left. I tied one end of the rope around my waist. I want to drag them through the waterway between the mountains.
After I tied the rope securely, I waved Jiang Wanqing over. She was puzzled.
I leaned down and motioned for her to climb onto my back. She looked at them and hesitated.
"Sister, come up, you are the youngest." Hua and Xiaoyue both urged her in low voices, because the voices behind them were getting closer and closer.
Jiang Qing finally made up her mind, lay on my back, and hugged my neck tightly with both arms.
I wrapped the rope around her body again, and then Xiaoyue. I tied the rope for her. I don’t know what the road below is like and whether the water flow is deep, so the rope must be tied firmly.
Then came the painting. While helping her tie the rope around her waist, she told her, "Don't worry, don't let go of the rope. This will help you stabilize your body."
She hummed, then came forward and kissed me gently on the cheek.
They seemed to have encountered the boat we had thrown down the river, and obviously accelerated their pursuit.
