431 No trace
As the sky grew darker, Ping'an felt that the effects of the medicine had almost completely worn off.
He took out one and gave it to the guard, then held his hand tightly.
Then he pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. The sounds of people walking on the deck were particularly obvious. The boat was not big.
As long as he gets ashore, he will have a way to protect his people. He will set up a trap and a hidden formation. He doesn't believe these people can find them.
As soon as the guard's hand moved, Ping An squeezed his hand tightly, leaned his head over, and whispered, "I know you're awake. Don't make any noise. There are people outside. If you understand, shake my hand back."
This guard is called Chen Xizi, and he is the best martial artist among Chen Xuan's personal guards.
Sure enough, Ping'an's hand was held back.
"Listen, you and I are the only ones awake now. It's already dark. They have five or six good kung fu guys and are heading to a small island to stay. You must not move. It's said that this drug won't wake you up until tomorrow afternoon. You listen to my instructions."
Chen Xizi squeezed Ping'an's hand again.
Ping'an moved to the right position. He was very hungry again. It was early morning and he had just eaten. He was growing taller now and he got hungry easily.
I wonder if Master knows about their disappearance now.
Even if they knew, they couldn't help themselves. In the vast ocean, these people had been drifting on the sea for a long time and had no idea which direction they were going.
It was completely dark.
Ping An opened his eyes wide without hesitation. The boat was still moving, but very slowly. He could see a wind-killing lantern hanging on the bow, and its light was flickering.
Ping'an heard them talking again, but since he couldn't understand, he simply stopped listening.
Chen Xizi suddenly spoke up: "I can understand some of these words. That man said to tie us on the boat and not take us to the cave. Another man said that he could keep one of us as the young master's husband, and the rest should be thrown into the sea. The mast of this boat is broken, and there are cracks somewhere. We still have two days to go, and we are worried that the boat is too heavy."
Ping An was shocked.
Chen Xizi added, "The woman disagreed and said to leave us on the island. If this boat doesn't work, we can get another boat to pick us up. She said..."
Ping An waited for the guard to speak but asked, "What did she say?"
Chen Xizi felt embarrassed: "She said to take all of them with her, as the island is in need of young men."
"Shame on you." Ping An was really angry. "How do you know all this?"
"My master taught me. He knows the languages of more than a dozen places."
"Chen Xizi, I'd better wake them up, just in case they really throw us into the sea."
"My young master is fine. I'm just worried that Master Fu and Xiao Ming might get startled."
But before Ping'an could give them the antidote, footsteps came.
Ping An only had time to move the dagger from his arms to his sleeve pocket, and then continued to pretend to be unconscious.
If the other party had any intention of throwing them into the sea, he and Chen Xizi would take action.
It's just that it's too dangerous.
They can't protect Fu An and the other two.
Ping An was the first one to be carried away, Chen Xizi was the second, and the next would be Xiao Ming, Fu An, and Chen Xuan.
After crossing the gangway, nothing unusual was found. Ping An saw that all five of them were carried to the shore. He couldn't help but feel relieved. As long as they were not thrown into the sea, he could just figure out a way to do the rest slowly.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, Ping An was suddenly thrown to the ground with a dull thud, and he almost cried out in pain.
Then a woman's angry voice was heard, probably blaming the man for throwing him like that.
Chen Xizi, who came later, did not suffer the same hardship as him.
Apona was still angry. This Ager was really unreasonable. He took advantage of the fact that she was nice to him and dared to treat the person she brought back like this.
Each of these four young men is good. She cannot take all of them, but two are fine. Such a big island belongs to her father. Her father has only two daughters, her and her elder sister. And her elder sister is like that. So she is the rightful heir.
For an island owner, it doesn’t matter if he has two husbands.
She hadn't decided which two of the four people she wanted yet, and it was really too much for Ager to throw his own people away like that.
Usually no one comes to this small island. Two days ahead is her home island.
"Zakui, are you sure this medicine won't wake me up until tomorrow afternoon?"
Zha Kui smiled and said, "At least tomorrow afternoon, maybe tomorrow night. There is no antidote for this drug in the world, and I don't have it either. I will give them some ordinary drugs tomorrow afternoon, and they will basically be home. But it depends on whether the sail can be repaired and the seams can be patched.
Young master, don't blame Ager, he is also worried about this ship."
A Baona didn't think she was wrong. "Although the shop was closed five days ago, can't it be used until the end of the month? Why are you in such a hurry to bring those things back?"
Zha Kui said helplessly, "We have enough daily necessities on our island now. You caused this today and we don't have time to ship out the goods. Let's hide for a while first. Take the dried goods back to eat. There are a lot of pearls. We will sell them next year. If the boat can't be repaired tomorrow, we can't carry too much. We can only take out the goods in the bottom of the boat and lock people in the cave to wait for people to pick them up."
Abaona kept muttering to herself, but she didn't say anything against it. She said that men were important, but life was more important. If you lost your man, you could find another one, but if you lost your life, you would have nothing.
The footsteps faded away along with the lights.
Ping An waited for a while and made sure that there was no one around.
Then he leaned over, and using the negligible moonlight, stuffed pills into the mouths of Fu An and the other two.
Chen Xizi whispered to him what the two people had just said.
"Don't be afraid. We'll find a safe place for the three of them tonight. You watch over them while I go to the boat to check. It's best to go by boat. Can you row a boat?"
"I know a little bit, but I'm not an expert. It's dangerous even for an experienced person at night. But there's not much wind tonight, so I can just float and wait until daybreak."
"Safe, safe." Chen Xuan was the first to wake up.
"Chen Xuan, keep your voice down. We have all been drugged. Fu An and Chen Xizi are here. Xiao Ming and I were knocked down when we were looking for you. Fortunately, I brought the best antidote. To prevent people from coming, you should pretend to be unconscious."
"I understand." Chen Xuan stopped talking.
I don’t know why, but knowing that Ping An was there, he felt at ease, even though he felt very guilty.
Soon, Xiao Ming and Fu An woke up one after another.
Ping An comforted him immediately.
Fu An was extremely anxious, but even the ten-year-old Xiao Ming was calm, so how could he, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, have the nerve to say anything more?
Not to mention that Ping An and the other two were implicated by them. If they were really discovered and awakened, they would definitely be in trouble and might even be thrown into the sea.
At this time, He Jin was completely panicked. Everyone went out to look for them, but they all came back empty-handed. Several people just disappeared without a trace.
It was late at night, and Xiao Wu, Er Qiang and Lin Feng had already rented a carriage to return to the military camp overnight.
On a night like this, the road is unfamiliar and the land route is much longer. By the time we return to the military camp, it will be tomorrow evening. By the time we bring people to look for them, Master Ping'an and his men will have been missing for several days.
He couldn't imagine who had kidnapped them.
The nearest county, Quan, is more than a hundred miles away. By the time Xiao Wu and his friends report the case on the way, it will only take them more than an hour to get to the military camp.
Master Ping An, where are you guys?
