Chapter 116 The Bride Was Dragged
The sound of the boat colliding with the river water was particularly clear in the silent night, and even the sound of the wind became a little quieter.
Zhou Yunshu changed into a dark dress and sat at the door of the room. If you didn't look at the quiver full of arrows on her back and the bow and arrow in her hand, you would think she was just here alone enjoying the cold moonlight because she couldn't sleep at night.
The sound of water on the river surface gradually became louder. Zhou Yunshu touched the bow and arrow in her hand, and looked at three boats slightly smaller than the passenger ship they were on that appeared vaguely in front of the left side of the boat.
There was no fire on the boat, and it was sailing towards the passenger ship they were on in the dark night.
If Zhou Yunshu didn't have good eyesight, she would probably only be able to see these three boats clearly when they were right in front of her.
Zhou Yunshu initially estimated that there were about twelve people on their boat.
Zhou Yunshu just watched the boat approaching, and saw the three boats surround the passenger ship when they were about ten meters away. Then ten people jumped out of each boat and swam towards the passenger ship like dumplings.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the three ships in the moonlight, and she had the urge to take them for herself.
However, the area of these three ships is a bit large, and it is not easy to move into one's own space under the watchful eyes of the public.
"Pah!"
It was the sound of wet clothes falling on the deck.
The pirate swam from the river to the side of the boat, put his hands on the deck and stuck his head out. When he saw that the deck was indeed empty as he had said before, he smiled widely, supported his body and jumped out of the river.
The pirate who jumped onto the boat had just taken a step, with the smile of success still on his face, when he saw something suddenly appear on the dark deck and come towards him with a knife!
"Middle circle..."
Before the pirate could finish the word "trap", the knife had already chopped down at his face.
He was not the only one. There were five or six other people on the deck who were like him. As soon as they got on the boat, they were chopped down by someone and fell to the bottom of the water.
"There's a trap, light it, light it!"
"There are pirates. Martial law, martial law!"
The pirates and the boatman shouted to notify their people, and the whole passenger ship was instantly bright.
"Help! There are pirates!"
Amidst the not-so-noisy shouting, the woman's scream was particularly piercing.
"Is there anyone who can save my nephew? He's been captured by pirates! Help!"
On the second floor of the passenger ship, a woman in a red wedding dress grabbed the railing and shouted. Soon, the entire second floor was in chaos.
Only the third floor was quiet, without any chaos caused by the attack of the pirates under the ship.
Three pirate ships were heading towards the passenger ship. Zhou Yunshu was standing on the deck with a bow and arrow in her hand. When she saw the pirate ship approaching the passenger ship by three or four meters and preparing to pour oil on it and set it on fire, she pulled the bowstring to its full extent. The taut arrow flew out from her hand and pierced straight into the bandit's eyebrows.
The torch fell into the water, and the bandit who was killed by Zhou Yunshu also fell into the water along with the torch.
Zhou Yunshu fired several arrows in the dim light of the fire, and every arrow hit the target.
On the second floor, Chunque looked at the woman who came out of the guest room and wanted to cause a commotion before the pirates came up, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and stabbed her in the neck.
"What have you done to our young lady?"
Before the maidservant who had chased out could finish her words, Chunque grabbed her arm and stabbed her with a knife.
The master and servant were thrown casually into the corridor by Chunque, who had no mercy on them at all, and then he squatted down and started searching them.
In the room, the knife in Feng Xujie's hand was still dripping with blood, and at his feet was an old woman who died with her eyes open.
Feng Xujie looked at the child in a red brocade robe, huddled in fear in the corner, and said, "I'm not a bad person, you..."
"Bad guys never say they are bad guys, wuwuwu, help!"
Feng Xujie: ...There is some truth to that.
Feng Xujie shook his head. What was he thinking about at this critical moment?
"The pirates are coming soon. If you don't want to die, follow me!"
He Zizhen clutched the pillow beside him tightly, his eyes red and he didn't say a word.
"Forget it, what am I talking to a little brat like you?" Feng Xujie sheathed the bloody knife in his hand, stepped forward and grabbed He Zizhen who was about to hit him with a pillow, saying, "You'll thank me later!"
"Let me go, you bad guy! Do you know who my father is? Do you know who my grandfather is? Let me go!"
Feng Xujie restrained He Zizhen's flailing hands and feet, and when he became impatient with his noise, he casually picked up a sweatshirt from the side and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although they are the same age, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others are not as noisy as the little guy in front of them.
After He Zizhen in his arms finally calmed down, Feng Xujie held him in his arms and walked towards the third floor.
Luo Xiaoshan saw Feng Xujie going upstairs and looked at the increasingly chaotic passenger ship and said, "Sister Chunque, Brother Xiaojie has already taken the people away."
"Well, you go up first."
Chunque found what she wanted. When she stood up, she pulled out the hairpin from Miss Jiang's head and shot it at the neck of the gangster who broke through the defense line downstairs and rushed to the second floor.
Killed with one blow.
Chunque didn't want to fight anymore. After getting what her master wanted, she immediately ran to the third floor. Her master still needed her protection!
Even though Zhou Yunshu was quick and the people downstairs were desperately trying to stop the pirates from boarding the ship, the back half of the passenger ship still caught fire.
There were only four or five pirates left on the boat. The rest either died on the river or jumped into the water to escape when they saw the situation was not good.
After the situation was under control, Zhou Yunshu asked Luo Xiaoshan to notify the hunting dog and the bear, and shouted at Hu Zi to occupy the three abandoned boats next to the passenger ship first.
A quarter of an hour later, all the bandits on the ship were killed by Yan Shilei and the He family's boatman, and the fire behind the passenger ship was also put out, which did not affect the normal operation of the passenger ship.
The helmsman of the passenger ship finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Yan Shilei, who was covered in blood beside him, clasped his fists and saluted him, saying, "Thank you, Yang San, for your bravery today. When we reach the middle of the river, I will report your actions to the master. May I know your name, hero?"
Yan Shilei said, "No need to mention your surname Yan."
Yan Shilei did not take the credit for himself. "I was just following my master's orders. After all, we are on a ship. If something really happened, we can't escape."
Yang San glanced at the bandits on the river and on the deck who had been killed by arrows, and felt lucky that he had met a capable person. Otherwise, if it were any other time, they would have been covered in blood in the Qi River today.
"Anyway, today..."
"Brother Yang!" a sharp voice came from the second-floor deck, "The bride was dragged out of the room by the pirates, and the young master is missing!"
