Chapter 496 A Passerby



Gu Yunru rolled her eyes to the sky. She didn't expect that a grown man would be so hesitant.

"I'll go." Rong Zhen was a man who knew how to judge the situation, so he asked everyone to rest well in this room first, and he went to ask the boatman for the antidote himself.

Rong Zhen came to the deck and heard the conversation between the boatman and a man in black.

"Rong Zhen is already on the boat. You can take this glass of wine over to him later."

"good."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Rong Zhen quickly dodged to the side without being discovered by them, and then politely walked behind the boatman. When the boatman saw Rong Zhen, he was as scared as if he saw a ghost, and it was obvious that he was guilty.

"Sir, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"

"I'm not injured, but a friend of mine is injured. I want to ask if you have any gold medicine to treat the wound." Rong Zhen stared at him with a sharp gaze. He always felt that this boatman looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, and the identities of these people were also questionable.

"So that's how it is. I have some top-quality gold healing medicine in my room. I'll get it to you right away." The boatman said kindly, and quickly returned to the room, handing a few small medicine bottles to Rong Zhen's hands. Rong Zhen thanked him softly and returned to the room.

"Why did you take so long?" Gu Yunru and others were extremely anxious. If the wound was not disinfected in time, it would get infected.

"The boatman was trying to comfort everyone just now, so he didn't get it in time." Rong Zhen lied without blushing or getting nervous. He was used to it.

"Give me the medicine." Gu Yunru stretched out her hand to ask him for the medicine, but he paused for a moment, as if he had something to hide. "What's the matter? You're still hesitating when I ask you for medicine!" Gu Yunru was about to take it, but when he put his nose close to it and sniffed it carefully, he found that the medicine was not for tetanus, but for some special medicine for headaches and dizziness.

There are some very special medicinal herbs in it, which will cause the infection to worsen if they come into contact with those broken wounds.

Gu Yunru was just about to ask for clarification when the boatman came running over in a hurry, claiming that he had taken the wrong medicine and gave them the real medicine for wounds. This time, after checking, the medicine was indeed correct, so he used it to disinfect Shu'er and returned the remaining medicine to the boatman.

"Ji Heng, you must take good care of Shu'er. You must feed her when it's time for dinner later!" Gu Yunru sat aside and spoke in a commanding tone, while Ji Heng's face was full of reluctance.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Gu Yunru repeatedly reminded him. After a while, the whole family brought over four bowls of onion noodles, topped with a poached egg and a few pieces of beef visible to the naked eye.

"It smells so good. I can smell it at the door. Boatman, did you make this?!" Gu Yunru swallowed and couldn't help but salivate. Before that, she had to ask who made this onion noodles. She didn't expect it to smell so good.

"This is made by a cook on our boat. She specializes in making delicious food that the guests like." The boatman introduced, and Rong Zhen just watched from the side. He soon found something wrong and winked at Gu Yunru behind the boatman's back. However, Gu Yunru was so hungry that she couldn't even straighten her back and didn't notice the meaning of his eyes at all.

"Wait a minute!" Rong Zhen immediately grabbed her hand, wanting him to stop using his chopsticks for a while.

"What's wrong?"

"Boatman, please bring some more bean paste. My wife loves spicy sauce the most."

"Yes, OK, wait a moment." The boatman bowed and left. Gu Yunru pursed her lips, drooling from hunger. Ji Heng was about to feed Shu'er some noodles, but Rong Zhen stopped him, "Noodles are poisonous."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Gu Yunru took off the silver hairpin on her head and tested it carefully, only to find that the noodles were indeed poisonous. However, they had no grudge against the boatman, so why would he want to harm them?

"So what should we do now? Should we expose him directly or..." Shu'er was terrified and hurriedly asked the two of them what they thought. Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen's faces turned very ugly. The noodles could not be eaten, but if they directly questioned the boatman, he probably would not admit it, and might even do something desperate.

"Let's pretend to be poisoned and see what he will do." There are probably many people on this boat who belong to the boat owner. If the four of them really want to resist, it is estimated that they will have a hard time winning, and there are two women...

"But I brought a lot of elite soldiers, and they are also on this ship, so there shouldn't be any problem." Ji Heng said confidently. There was no need to care about what the boatman did to them. Rong Zhen raised a scornful arc at the corner of his mouth, as if to say that you are really too young. Gu Yunru looked out furtively, and those people at the door had already fainted on the ground.

"It seems that the boatman and his men have already taken the initiative." Gu Yunru walked in hunched over and said to everyone. Now he had no choice but to pretend to be poisoned. Sure enough, when the boatman came back with the bean paste, several people had already vomited blood and fell to the ground. Suddenly, they laughed and attracted two men in black.

"Throw them all into the river!"

Gu Yunru's heart sank. If he really threw himself into such a big river, he would probably die. Ji Heng couldn't hold back any longer. When the man in black met him, he immediately did the opposite and controlled the two men in black.

"Tell me! Who are you?" Ji Heng asked with narrowed eyes. However, the two men in black seemed to be well prepared. There was a poison hidden in the teeth of these assassins. If they were caught, they would bite the poison directly, and then their internal organs would explode and they would die.

Seeing the man in black dead, the boatman immediately panicked and wanted to escape, but he didn't expect that Gu Yunru had already slipped to the door and was knocked unconscious by a vase.

When the boatman woke up, he was tied up. Shu'er came to him and tied a feather around his neck. The boatman laughed out loud, crying and laughing, it was really funny. "Tell me, who are you and why do you want to kill us!" Shu'er glared at him. This boatman didn't look like a good person at first glance.

"It's unfair. I don't know you all. Someone above me told me that if I see you guys, I must find a way to trap you here, so I had to use this method..."
