The more Song Ning spoke, the more Qiu Hua's body trembled.

Do I regret it? He's been asking himself that question all these days.

I definitely regret it, but what's the use of regretting it now?

It was all too late.

The Qiu family was ultimately destroyed by him.

"You can't blame anyone else for this situation. It's all your own choice. Remember in your next life, don't be a human. Whoever you're reborn into will be unlucky."

"I hope that in your next life, you two can both be maggots, so that you can stay together in the cesspool forever, and no one can ever separate you again."

Qiu Hua remained silent after being humiliated by Song Ning.

Even though her face was tanned dark, a hint of paleness could still be seen.

Song Ning vented his anger by cursing, and didn't want to look at him anymore. He told the magistrate that he would take the man away the next day.

Before leaving, he stabbed Qiu Hua in the heart again: "Do you know that if it weren't for you, your parents wouldn't have had to die?"

Although what Master Qiu and Madam Qiu did was inhumane, they were not breaking the law if they acted in accordance with the law.

Unfortunately, his son is a disappointment to him.

However, she didn't actually kill Master Qiu and Madam Qiu, but she just didn't want Qiu Hua to have an easy time.

He didn't suffer physically, but he was certainly upset.

Anyone with a shred of conscience wouldn't remain indifferent to the death of an entire family.

You'll have to suffer on your own.

That same day, Song Ning had Zheng Gaoyi take the two away.

She had already vented her anger, and she no longer cared how the magistrate would rule.

However, I imagine the outcome won't be too good.

After settling all the remaining matters at home, Song Ning finally saw the merchant ship pass through Tianxiang County again.

After saying goodbye to their families, they boarded a cargo ship heading south with Xiao Cui and Shi Tou.

Because they were going downstream, and the ice in the river had completely melted, they were able to get there faster.

The boat sailed relatively smoothly, quickly leaving the bustling prosperity of Tianxiang County behind.

Song Ning was initially excited, but as the boat sailed further and further away and swayed gently, the feeling of nausea began to creep in.

She didn't dare sit inside the cabin, so she went outside to stand in the wind.

Although it's already May, the temperature difference in the north is large, and it's still a bit cold in the early morning and evening. Coupled with the rushing river, Song Ning experienced what it means to have cold, icy rain slapping haphazardly on his face.

Finally, shivering from the cold, he returned to his cabin.

She immediately lay down as soon as she entered. The feeling was just like when she took a train for the first time in her past life. She didn't dare to sit up at all and could only avoid throwing up by lying down.

If you were carsick in your past life, you'll be seasick in this one. That's just unbelievable.

As dusk fell, the aroma of food wafted in from outside. Xiao Cui brought in the food: "Master, are you feeling any better? Have something to eat first."

Song Ning leaned against the headboard, her face pale, feeling nauseous and weak.

"You guys eat, I don't want to eat, I'm going to take a nap." Once I'm asleep, I won't feel uncomfortable anymore.

The clinking of cutlery faded away, and I actually drifted off to sleep.

As I was sleeping, the noise outside grew louder and louder, as if someone was making a fuss.

Struggling to open my eyes, I heard shouts outside.

Xiao Cui came in from outside and quickly closed the door: "Master, two large ships have suddenly appeared outside and surrounded us."

“There are quite a few of them, and we might not be able to defeat them. Some people have already launched the escape boats. Brother Stone told me to take you away first.”

Before she could react, Xiao Cui pulled her out of bed and dragged her outside.

As soon as they stepped outside, a gleaming, cold knife was placed in front of them.

In the darkness, a figure appeared before them, revealing gleaming white teeth and staring at them like a ghost.

Upon realizing the two were women, two lewd laughs echoed from the darkness.

Song Ning finally woke up and didn't have time to worry about seasickness. He groped for a heavy object nearby and, taking advantage of the man's laughter, smashed it on the man's head in the dark.

In the darkness, a thud was heard as someone fell to the ground.

Xiao Cui broke out in a cold sweat, but she didn't have time to think. She quickly stepped over the people on the ground and ran outside.

The moonlight was perfect outside, and from this side of the boat, one could hear the sounds of fierce fighting ahead.

Song Ning, who was being pulled along by Xiao Cui, suddenly stopped. Xiao Cui turned around and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Where's Stone? Isn't he coming with us?"

Song Ning is now fully awake and finally understands what's going on.

Their cargo ship must have encountered river pirates, who are known for their wickedness and ruthless killings.

They only want money and food; they won't leave a single person alive.

This group of people always appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Unexpectedly, the three of them were so unlucky as to run into them on their first trip to Huzhou.

"Brother Stone went to help Yang Tou, let's hurry up and go."

Song Ning remained unmoved: "No, we can't leave him here."

Since the people on the ship wanted to escape, it meant the situation was critical, and those who stayed behind were most likely unable to leave.

She couldn't just abandon everything and run away to save her own life.

He pushed Xiao Cui forward and said, "Xiao Cui, you go first, I have to go back and help."

With that, he turned around and started to walk back.

Stone was on his way back to visit relatives. He shouldn't have died here before even getting home. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him along.

Although she valued her life, she wasn't the type to abandon her companions.

Even if we die, we'll die together.

Without saying a word, Song Ning turned around and ran back.

Xiao Cui couldn't really leave the two of them behind, so she stamped her foot and followed them back.

Song Ning ran back while trying to think of a solution, but she still couldn't come up with one until she saw the stone.

The cabin was covered in blood, and there were corpses all around. Shi Tou had just knocked one person back when he saw the person returning behind him, and his heart sank.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they quickly dragged the two into the cabin: "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you come back?"

Stone was covered in blood and was almost out of strength.

"We can't leave you alone, let's go together."

As he spoke, he had already quietly taken a gun from his spatial storage.

She brought that box out last time because she needed to use explosives.

Inside the box were two silenced guns.

She had been practicing beforehand just in case, but now that it's pitch black, she doesn't know if she can hit accurately.

Just as Shi Tou was about to say something, the sounds of fighting and killing came from outside.

Song Ning gritted her teeth and, taking advantage of the fact that the people outside hadn't come in yet, quickly said, "You all hide first."

Xiao Cui tugged at her sleeve: "Master, what are you going to do?"

"You two hide well, and don't come out until I get back."

"Brother Stone, protect Xiao Cui."

Just as Shi Tou and Xiao Cui were about to say something, they received a cold look from Song Ning, and both of them were taken aback.

"Listen to me, if you go out, you'll only cause trouble for me, and we'll all die."

Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice but to take a gamble.

Once outside the cabin, Song Ning cautiously walked along the bulkhead. Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly opened the door, raised his gun, and unleashed a barrage of fire. Regardless of whether he hit anything, he just fired randomly, killing as many as he could.

All I could hear outside were thuds of people falling to the ground, which sent a chill down my spine.
