There were dark figures swimming in the water.

The black figure carried a weapon that gleamed coldly.

What are you doing underwater?

Su Jiaoniang had a sudden urge to conspire, and finally, suppressing her nausea, she ran towards the cabin.

Gently nudge the little girl awake.

He woke Feng Yuwei up again.

He explained the situation outside.

Feng Yuwei was startled: "You're saying there are men in black down there!"

“Yes!” Su Jiaoniang nodded.

The man in black was also carrying weapons, and it was clear from his appearance that he meant no harm.

Su Jiaoniang had no idea where these men in black came from.

Or perhaps someone on this ship is being targeted.

Or perhaps they were river bandits, after money.

Regardless of the reason, how could a few people not die from injuries in this line of work?

Su Jiaoniang looked at Feng Yuwei: "Is the little boat in your room alright?"

"It's alright, should we run away now?" This was the first time Feng Yuwei had encountered such a situation.

He has seen his share of big events and has participated in partisan struggles.

But back then, even if they were forced into exile, as long as they offered some benefits, as long as they took out money, or taught those veterans to write a word and recognize their own names, they could be saved.

That will bring you a moment of peace.

Now, it looks even more dangerous.

River bandits don't blink an eye when they kill.

Escaping from here is no easy feat.

Su Jiaoniang looked at Xiaoya and reached out to stroke her face: "Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoya will definitely do a good job." Her brother can interrogate criminals with the Black-Clad Guards and slaughter entire families, so she can't be afraid of someone who hides and shows his face.

You must perform very well.

I gave myself a positive self-talk.

Xiao Ya let out a breath.

"Mother, what should we do?" the little girl asked.

Su Jiaoniang said, "Wait!"

Once we know what these people are after, we'll look for an opportunity to escape.

We need to know how many of these river bandits there are.

Soon, inspectors discovered that the ship's floor had been deliberately damaged.

"It's leaking! Oh no!" a scream rang out, waking the people who were asleep on the boat.

Su Jiaoniang handed the little girl to Feng Yuwei and walked out alone.

People were packed together outside.

Feng Yuwei, holding Xiaoya, sat in the room, staring at the small boat he had moved up, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought of the supplies hidden in my luggage.

Feng Yuwei said to Xiaoya, "Let's go and get some water, food, and clothes!" If we use a small boat to glide on the water, we don't know how long it will take to reach the shore.

Even after reaching the shore, you might find yourself not knowing where you are.

Perhaps in the deep mountains and forests.

There must be enough food, water, and clothing.

Otherwise, pregnant women cannot withstand such a ordeal.

Xiao Ya nodded and followed closely behind Feng Yuwei.

Fortunately, everyone was in a hurry to find the helmsman on the ship.

Few people go to places where they leave their luggage.

Feng Yuwei picked out the thick clothes and tossed them to Xiaoya.

They carried a lot of clean water and some hard military rations.

I also grabbed a small pot.

The convenience of carrying a small pot while walking is something you'll understand once you've used it.

The two returned to their room and left their belongings on the small boat.

Then wait quietly.

Su Jiaoniang walked outside and frowned as she looked at the disorderly scene. She then went to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of soot from the bottom of the pot, and smeared it on her face. After thinking for a moment, she smeared the greasy, dirty, and disgusting soot from the stove onto her face, neck, chest, back, wrists, and arms.

I used a folded handkerchief to grab some grease-covered soot from the bottom of a pot.

Put it in your purse.

Then he walked outside.

On the deck.

A group of men in black stood there.

These men, their faces covered, only revealing two vicious eyes: "Hand over a woman surnamed Su, and I'll let you go!"

otherwise……

The man casually stabbed the person closest to him with his knife.

Su Jiaoniang was taken aback; the man was the ship's head chef.

She taught Xiaoya how to cook many dishes.

He wasn't dead, just injured, and blood was flowing onto the ground.

"Bring that woman surnamed Su over. She's with a daughter and a man, and they're both said to be good-looking. Hurry up, or else!"

The man in black stared at the crowd with the knife in his hand.

Find someone easy to start with.

The boatman said, "I...I'll go find the roster right away, gentlemen, please wait a moment!"

The helmsman turned and walked towards the cabin.

Su Jiaoniang's face instantly turned ugly.

It was directed at her.

She considered herself to be keeping a low profile in Kyoto, spending her days in Lu Wujiu's backyard.

He had been assassinated before, but only suffered minor injuries.

Life is not a worry.

Now……

The people who came were specifically targeting her.

Is he Lu Wujiu's political enemy, or is he specifically targeting her?

The injured chef had snot running down his face from crying.

The man in black was displeased.

One flew to the other.

They cut off the chef's ear.

The chef met the man in black's cold gaze, and his face trembled with pain, but he dared not cry.

They moved backwards slowly.

Finally, Su Jiaoniang struggled a bit.

He pulled the fat man toward the cabin.

Her name is on the roster.

There weren't many people on the boat, so they found her quickly.

We need to leave quickly.

Run for your life!

As for whether the people on the ship will be targeted by these bandits.

Su Jiaoniang left some poison in her room.
