Chapter 147: Bloody Storm on the Ship
Dashan and Lintian protected the others and went inside. They were at the end. The moment the cabin door closed, they saw several strong men climbing up from under the boat with knives on their backs.
As soon as they came on board, they started shouting and killing, and immediately started fighting with the guards on the ship. Soon after, the deck was dyed red with the blood of someone unknown.
Dashan and the other man gasped, and a look of horror flashed across their faces.
"They, who are they?"
The group of people quickly squeezed into a small room. The two guards who carried Mrs. Zhou and her husband in stood guard at the cabin door as soon as they put them down.
Lin Lan and the others then realized that they had entered the cabin where Hu Fulai and Jiang Laosan lived.
Hu Fulai and his men had a fight before and were all injured. In order to prevent them from getting into any more trouble, the guards moved them all to the cabin upstairs to recuperate.
At this moment, Lin Lan and others were naturally hidden in there to make things easier.
Before Hu Fulai and his friends could react, they heard the sound of swords clashing outside. He stopped yelling and didn't care about the grudges with them. He asked in a low and trembling voice, "What's going on outside? Is there a fight?"
"A fight broke out. They brought knives and started hacking at the guards as soon as they got on the boat. I just saw someone injured, but I couldn't see clearly whether it was from the opposite side or one of ours." Dashan answered, his breathing still a little unstable. He didn't know who he was asking about, and was just listening nervously to the noise outside.
"Are they pirates, deliberately robbing people here?"
Guo Xiucai was well-informed. Hearing this, he said solemnly, "They are probably not pirates. Our ship is an official ship, and not just an ordinary one. If they dare to rob, they must be prepared to be wiped out by the imperial court. Ordinary pirates will not confront the imperial court head-on. I'm afraid they are... coming for us."
"Us? We are just country people and we don't have any money. Why are you coming for us?" Jiang Laosan was scared, especially because he had just opened the window a crack and looked out. He saw two people lying on the deck covered in blood, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Mr. Guo didn't say anything. He guessed that it might be related to the sky curtain.
Just then, Chao Chao's voice resounded from the sky again, "Mom, shall we go? To Jinwen Village?"
Hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan, who had been listening to the sky with his eyes closed, sat up straight instantly. He really wanted them to go, and he wanted to see the land of the future.
I just heard from Miss Jane that most people in that village grow oranges, so they must also grow other crops.
He wanted to know what food would be like in the future and how it would be different from theirs.
During this period of time, their vision had been following Chao Chao as he wandered around the city, and they had never even seen what the fields looked like, let alone the crops.
Jian Yunsang also asked Chao Chao, "Does Chao Chao want to go?"
Chao Chao hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Go, I want to see what the difference is between the village in the future and Shangliu Village."
"Okay, I'll send Fangrong a message later. She might still be in class right now."
Su Fangrong has a cell phone. Jian Yunsang sponsored her when she was in her second year of high school. At that time, he planned to buy her a new cell phone, but she refused. It was not until her third year of high school that she bought a second-hand cell phone online and used it for three years.
It was just that in the early years when she didn’t have a mobile phone, she had always communicated with Jian Yunsang through letters. She was used to writing letters, so this time she packed the letters and oranges in a box and sent them over.
"Fang Rong said in the letter that a celebrity came to their place recently and said he would help sell oranges in their village. He even specially decorated the venue and it was very lively."
Song Zhen became interested, "Then I'll go take a look too?"
He Pu got off work early today and just got home. He glanced at her and asked, "Are you free?"
Song Zhen: "..." She really didn't.
All the relatives and friends knew the news that Chao Chao had been found, and there were quite a lot of guests coming in the past two days.
Even if Chaochao was not there, they would still come to visit, and Song Zhen couldn't refuse them all.
Chao Chao was a little hesitant, "Grandma, then, let's go when you are free."
"No, no, just go and have fun. Grandma is just talking."
"Then I'll bring you a gift."
Song Zhen hugged her happily.
While the He family was filled with laughter and joy, a river in Daqi was already filled with blood and gore.
Lin Lan and the others didn't dare to say anything. They just opened a crack in the window to look at the scene outside. When Lin Lan heard Chao Chao's words, her voice was a little choked up. "What should we do? Will we be in trouble? I, I want to follow Chao Chao to that Jinwen Village to have a look."
Zheng found it incredible and asked with a trembling voice, "It's already this hour, and you still have the heart to think about this?"
Hu Fulai, "Who are these people? What do they want to do? They start killing people right away. Will they kill us all? But we have no grudges against them..."
Just as he finished speaking, a high-pitched voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Lin Lan, Dashan, did you hear me? We are here to save you, don't be fooled, they are taking you to the capital to harm you. Come out quickly and follow us."
Everyone in the cabin looked at each other in bewilderment. What did that mean? They came to rescue them?
The guard at the door frowned and lowered his voice, "Don't listen to them, they have bad intentions. We are from the imperial court, why would they want to harm you? These people are from unknown backgrounds, and their words cannot be trusted."
Guo Xiucai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, these people are too suspicious, we don't want to listen to them."
But the fight outside became more and more intense, and some people even reached the cabin door and started fighting with the guards at the door.
The people in the room began to tremble.
The sky curtain had no effect at all. Chao Chao's cheerful voice formed a sharp contrast with the dangerous situation before his eyes.
Since they had decided to go, Jian Yunsang called Su Fangrong in the evening, and she was very happy. She would have final exams the next day and the day after tomorrow, and she could go home after the exams.
Jian Yunsang planned to leave two days in advance. She was going to Wucheng anyway, so she should go back to Jian's house. Although her father came to Jiangcheng this time, they didn't spend much time together.
Chao Chao was a little excited, "Mom, is Wucheng where you grew up?"
"Yeah, Chao Chao, do you want to take a look?"
"Yes, I want to walk all the places my mother has walked."
That would probably take a long time, she would have to prepare a lot of things and make a plan.
She ran back to her room to pack her things. At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind, "The energy value has increased by 300."
