Chapter 64: Overnight on the Water, Someone Comes



"Okay, I'll trouble you tonight, sister. If there's anything unusual, be sure to wake us up."

Yun Ruoxi nodded, "Don't worry, I will."

In this way, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue drove everyone into the cabin to rest, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, sat at the bow to keep watch.

Although it was very dark at night, she didn't dare turn on the lights at that time. There were probably quite a few refugees on the water.

If the lights were turned on, it would probably attract a lot of refugees. What if they saw their boats and came to rob them?

So instead of using a flashlight, the two of them just lit a candle next to them, which barely provided enough lighting.

The rain outside showed no sign of slowing down. When I was rowing the boat before, I built sheds in the front and back, so even if I sat at the bow, the rain wouldn't get in.

Yun Ruoxi found low-level spirit stones from the space and gave ten to Mu Ruxue. The two of them held the spirit stones in their hands and meditated with their eyes closed.

She unknowingly entered a state of cultivation. Although her body was cultivating, she could sense all movements within a one-meter radius around her.

Including the breathing sounds of everyone inside the cabin. Because of the cabin, you can't see it, but you can sense that there are people inside.

She knew that it was only because of her improved cultivation that she became more concerned about cultivating immortals.

However, the time he spent in meditation was very short, only one hour, and he was forced to withdraw.

She knew that this was her limit and had no choice but to stop. Although she could no longer continue to meditate, she still held the spirit stone in her hand so that she could absorb spiritual energy anytime and anywhere.

She firmly believed that cultivation was a process that accumulated over time, and that if little by little, it would add up to a lot, there would definitely be unexpected gains.

Yun Ruoxi felt it was inconvenient to hold the spirit stones in her palm. Looking at the spirit stones the size of glass beads in her palm, she simply found a rope, strung the spirit beads into beads, and hung them directly around her neck.

After making one for myself, I also made one for Mu Ruxue.

Yun Ruoxi thought about it and decided that in order to ensure that everyone she cared about could safely escape the great disaster six months later, she had already provided everyone with space rings and modern weapons.

The cultivation method for immortality must never be revealed, so let her keep this secret to herself.

It was enough for her to practice with Mu Ruxue. She believed that Xiaoxue would not betray her, but the same could not be said for others.

If the people in the Duke of England's mansion knew that their daughter Xinzi had been replaced by someone else, would they still treat her well as they do now?

If the people from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion had not met the wandering Taoist priest in advance and had not heard this prophecy, would things still be like this for her and Xiaoxue?

All of these are unknowns, and most of the time she doesn't want to think too much about them, because it's useless to think too much, and what is supposed to happen will still happen.

But that's her personality. No matter what she does, she will always prepare for the worst and will not push away the people around her because of something that might happen.

There is a saying that goes, just because the end of marriage is a grave, you shouldn’t be afraid to hug from the beginning.

There are many truths that you won’t have a deep understanding of unless you experience them personally, so just follow your heart, and when you feel the pain, you know when to leave.

Yun Ruoxi was thinking about something in her mind while working on her hands. After a while, she finished making the necklace for Mu Ruxue.

Mu Ruxue said proudly, "That's about right."

Yun Ruoxi smiled and said, "That's a must."

The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly, Yun Ruoxi's expression changed, "Someone is coming."

Mu Ruxue hurriedly put the things into the space ring and took out a pistol for defense.

Yun Ruoxi made the same move. Her range of perception was not very large, so she could only sense the presence of other people but could not see what they looked like.

Yun Ruoxi did not try to be stubborn, but quietly woke up everyone who was resting in the cabin.

Xiao Jingrui was the first to wake up. Seeing that it was still dark outside, he immediately realized that he was in danger.

Sure enough, Yun Ruoxi said softly, "Someone is coming."

At this time, the eldest brother and the second brother had woken up, and on the other side, Mu Ruxue had already woken up everyone else.

When everyone came out, they saw who was coming.

They didn't know each other, but they made a raft themselves using planks and hemp ropes.

There were three men on each raft, a total of three rafts, nine men, and not a single woman.

Yun Ruoxi glanced at the raft and saw many bundles, all of which were bulging and uneven.

It definitely didn't contain clothes, but rather silver and jewelry.

I had a feeling that these things might have been stolen or picked up from the water.

I have to say that Yun Ruoxi is really nice, she guessed the whole thing almost exactly.

The person who came originally just wanted to follow the current and drift anywhere without forcing anything.

As they were floating, they saw ghost lights glowing on the water, which scared them at first. They held up torches to see more clearly, but they saw three huge black shadows.

Although they didn't know what it was, they robbed a lot of people along the way.

At first, they only dared to touch the dead for silver. Later, they would rob anyone they met. In addition, they got silver from touching corpses. After they tasted the sweetness, they were less afraid of the unknown.

Even if I am scared to death, I don't want to be a poor ghost.

Originally, they were all villagers from Huaishu Village, Qiu Shui Town, Sanbao County, Yanyuan Prefecture. The nine of them were cousins of the same grandfather.

Because of the flood, the elderly people in the family were washed away and could not be found even if we tried.

And because the family was poor before, none of the nine brothers could find a wife.

This flood not only cost them the loss of their families, but also gave the brothers the opportunity to make a fortune.

When they approached with torches, they unexpectedly saw three wooden boats, which was an unexpected surprise.

They now had a lot of silver, but the raft was of no use if they wanted to live comfortably on the water.

In addition, it was raining all the time, and they had to wear straw raincoats all the time, so they could only get wet in the rain when they slept.

Now seeing the three wooden boats, the nine brothers had only one thought in their minds, which was to snatch these three wooden boats.

They also thought that there were three wooden boats tied with ropes on the water, and it was obvious that they all had owners.

But they didn't take it seriously. No matter it had an owner or not, as long as the nine brothers set their eyes on it, there was nothing they couldn't get.

So now they regard this wooden boat as their own.

"If you know what's good for you, let our brothers' boat go. Otherwise, don't blame us for not warning you."
