Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Calling Sister-in-law
With the help of the light, Yu Jin finally saw clearly that there was a young man on the bed.
He had a handsome appearance, delicate features, and although he looked a little disheveled, he was still a handsome man. At this moment, his face was pale, with blood stains on the corners of his lips, and he looked like he had been harmed by someone.
Yu Jin felt a little guilty, but when she thought that this man was not a crew member of the cargo ship, she felt justified.
"Sister, he is not from the ship!" She hurriedly said to Yu Li. She had recruited all the crew members herself and she knew everyone on the ship very well. She had clearly never seen this person before.
He must have gotten on board at some point.
Yu Li said: "I know."
She had a good memory and had already recognized all the crew members on the ship, so she naturally knew that this person was not a crew member.
Then Yu Li checked the condition of the man on the bed and found that his injury was on the shoulder blade. A large area of his clothes there was soaked with blood. It should be that Yu Jin's attack caused his wound to tear, causing him to bleed profusely, which is why the smell of blood is so strong.
But she had just given this man some supernatural powers, which could keep him alive and prevent him from dying for a while.
Yu Jin frowned and gnashed his teeth as he asked, "Who is this guy? How did he get on my ship?"
No one would be happy if something like this happened, and she is very angry now.
In anger, Yu Jin looked at the man on the bed more and more displeased. If he was not unconscious, he would have wanted to slap him and kick him off the boat.
The injured man represents unknown trouble.
What she fears most when doing business now is getting into trouble.
Don’t say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She is just a small business owner and does not have the ability to build a pagoda. She just wants to take care of herself and her family.
Yu Li was about to speak when suddenly hurried footsteps were heard at the door, followed by the boatman's voice.
"Manager Yu, there is a boat approaching us from behind. It seems like they are heading for us."
The boatman's voice was filled with uneasiness. He was worried that the boat was coming with ill intentions. They didn't have many people on board, and if a fight broke out, they would definitely suffer.
It is the middle of the night now, and there is no village or shop nearby. Even if I want to ask the government for help, it will be too late. By the time the government officials arrive, it will probably be daybreak.
The boatman is experienced in boating, but he also knows that when encountering such a situation, he can only admit that he has suffered a loss.
It would be fine if the other party just came to steal some goods, but if they are cruel, I am afraid that all the lives on the ship will be lost here.
Yu Jin's mind was confused for a moment, and he had a premonition that trouble was coming, so he went out with a frown.
The boatman outside the door saw her and hurriedly said, "Manager Yu, go and take a look."
Except for the boatman, all the other crew members on the boat came out. They looked uneasy, and when they saw Yu Jin, they all came to her and asked her what to do.
Yu Jin said a few words to comfort them and came to the deck. Sure enough, he saw a large ship approaching them menacingly on the dark riverbed.
The ship was much larger than their cargo ship and was obviously faster than theirs, so there was no way for them to escape.
I saw many torches lit on the boat, illuminating the surrounding area.
There were also quite a few strong thugs and guards on the ship, whose number was several times more than the people on their ship.
The ship was coming very fast and finally stopped when it was about to collide with their ship.
Even so, the big ship still rubbed against the cargo ship slightly, causing the entire cargo ship to shake. The people on board staggered and almost fell down.
Yu Jin grabbed the boat pole, his brows were twisted into a knot, and his anger was aroused.
If she encountered such a thing at any other time, she would avoid it if possible, because businessmen make money by being friendly, and the worst thing to do is to make enemies. But now her sister is on the boat, she is not afraid of anything, at worst she and her sister can fight back.
The other party has come towards us like this and is so arrogant, who can tolerate it?
At this time, a burly man with cold eyes appeared on the deck of the big ship over there.
The man said to this side: "Is there a wounded man on your ship? He is a runaway slave from our master's family. We have orders to capture him and bring him back."
Injured man?
Runaway slave?!
Very good, all the elements are complete. It turned out that it was caused by the injured man on the boat.
She said it was such a coincidence that an injured man was found on the boat, and then other boats chased after them.
Yu Jin had a blank expression on his face. He was very angry at the man who sneaked onto the boat, but he was even more angry at these arrogant guys. If you want to catch a fugitive, just catch him. Why did you drive the boat straight into us?
Isn't this bullying them because their cargo ship is small?
If the cargo ship was capsized, all the cargo on it would be lost, and that was the money the two sisters had earned in the past year.
The more Yu Jin thought about it, the angrier he became.
Although they knew that the other side was powerful and their cargo ship was small with few manpower, it would be best to communicate with them in a friendly manner, but the other side's arrogance was too arrogant and it was difficult for people to remain calm.
"Stop!" the man on the other side continued, "We'll search the boat."
Without waiting for any reaction from the cargo ship, he waved behind him, and saw several guards taking the cove, putting the other end of the cove on the cargo ship, and preparing to come over from the cove.
Seeing this scene, Yu Jin's face tightened.
At this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder, and Yu Jin heard her sister's voice: "Ah Jin, do it."
A bamboo pole was stuffed into her hand and she subconsciously grasped it. She turned around and saw her sister's calm face under the light, asking her to take action.
In Yu Li's view, this group of people who came to his door on their own initiative were just the right help, and were just right for training Yu Jin's fighting ability.
Having strength alone is not enough, you also need fighting experience to better protect yourself.
Now isn’t “experience” available right at your doorstep?
As for the escaped slaves they were talking about, Yu Li didn't care at all.
Regardless of whether the injured man was really a "fugitive slave", these people came over with such force and boarded the ship to search for people without the owner's consent. Even the most good-tempered person would not tolerate this.
Yu Jin took a deep breath, took the bamboo pole and hit those who were stepping onto their boat by the planks.
The next moment, the people who had just boarded the cargo ship were swept off the ship by bamboo poles. There was a splash of water, and soon there was no one left.
The man on the opposite ship looked gloomy and glared at Yu Jin fiercely.
Yu Jin was a little scared, but when she thought of her sister right behind her, she quickly became determined.
She held the bamboo pole and said coldly, "We don't have the runaway slaves you're looking for on our ship. Get out of here!"
The man stared at her closely. In the light of the lantern under the eaves of the opposite boat, he could see clearly that she was just a teenage girl. He didn't expect that she had such courage to resist them.
He laughed grimly, "It seems that the girl is going to go against us."
As he spoke, he waved behind him.
The big ship rammed towards them without hesitation, more planks were loaded onto the cargo ship, and the guards of the big ship jumped over from the other side.
The cargo ship was shaking continuously, and the people on board were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Yu Jin's face was filled with anger, and he attacked without hesitation.
But there were too many people on the other side, and it was her first time doing such a thing, so she was inevitably a little flustered.
Some of them were even extremely agile and avoided her bamboo pole in a few moves. They pounced towards her with ferocious looks on their faces, trying to snatch the pole from her hand.
In the eyes of these people, this cargo ship was nothing to worry about. The crew on the ship were obviously civilians and could not be fought at all. When they saw people getting on board, they would just look for places to hide and did not dare to resist at all.
The only one who could fight was a little girl. Looking at the way she waved the bamboo stick, I could tell it was her first time doing this and she was very unfamiliar with it. She didn't take her seriously at all.
Yu Jin was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, especially when she found someone dodged her attack and rushed towards her, her hands and feet felt cold and her mind went blank for a moment.
At this moment, a bamboo pole swept over from behind and knocked the oncoming man away.
Then the bamboo pole swiftly swept the guards on the boat into the river. No one could avoid it. The bamboo pole was like an arm, sweeping away everything wherever it passed.
Yu Jin quickly stepped back to make room for her sister.
When she turned around, she saw Fu Wenxiao appearing at the door of the cabin. She said, "Brother-in-law, we are fighting. Hurry up and find a place to hide so that we won't hit you."
Fu Wenxiao: “…”
Fu Wenxiao looked at the big ship opposite, then looked at the two sisters who were fighting more and more skillfully, and then responded with a smile.
Suddenly, he felt someone next to him. He turned around and found that the man lying on the bed had woken up at some point.
With a pale face, he walked to the door and looked out. When he saw the two sisters taking action, his face was filled with shock.
Fu Wenxiao asked, "Awake?"
The man subconsciously turned his head and saw Fu Wenxiao's face clearly in the light of the fire spreading from the opposite ship. He was stunned in place for a moment, staring at him blankly.
Fu Wenxiao just said hello and ignored him, continuing to watch the two sisters fight.
He didn't go out, but he didn't hide either.
It's quite entertaining to watch the two sisters fight.
With Yu Li taking action, those who boarded the cargo ship were no match for him.
Not only that, after she knocked those people into the water, she looked at the big ship opposite, and then, in everyone's astonishment, she held up the bamboo pole with one hand, leaped up, and landed directly on the big ship opposite.
The burly man on the boat was startled and immediately drew the big knife from his waist and swung it at her.
Yu Li dodged slightly, snatched the weapon from the man's hand, and slashed at him with his backhand.
She always clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment in her actions. If you don't use weapons against her, it's fine. But if anyone dares to show off his weapon in front of her, she will directly stab you with a knife, and whether you die or not depends on your luck.
As the burly man fell down spurting blood, the ship became agitated and the guards who were about to kill him were startled and stopped.
Now that their leaders have been defeated, what should they do?
Yu Li snorted, picked up the bamboo pole and hit them again.
Soon, a group of people fell on the boat, and only the boatman, who was so scared that he huddled in a corner, was unharmed.
Yu Li waved to his sister on the opposite cargo ship, "Ajin, come here."
Yu Jin obediently walked over from the deck and asked, "Big sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing the group of people on the ground, screaming and obviously seriously injured, she was not afraid, but looked at her sister with bright eyes.
In her heart, her sister is a hero!
Yu Li said: "Ah Jin, how about this boat?"
Yu Jin was a little confused, but still replied: "This boat is very good and very big."
"Then it's yours now!" Yu Li said as a matter of course.
Yu Jin: “…”
-
In the cargo ship, the injured man covered the wound on his shoulder and choked when he heard the sisters' voices floating in the wind.
He turned to look at Fu Wenxiao and asked in a low voice: "Master Fu, who are these two sisters? Why... are you here?"
Fu Wenxiao smiled at him, ignoring his futile look of fear, and said, "One of them is my wife, and the other is my wife's sister."
Then he told the man very kindly which girl was his wife.
The man was stunned, his voice cracked: "You are married?"
"Yes." Fu Wenxiao still smiled, "Is there anything wrong?"
What's wrong?!
This is very wrong!
The man thought, everything is wrong. This guy is still alive and has married such a powerful wife. Look how she just knocked out the group of big men on the opposite side with just a bamboo pole. He is very clear about the strength of those men, otherwise he would not have been chased and hunted so miserably.
What’s even more terrifying is that this guy was actually laughing the whole time!
He rarely laughed before, and every time he laughed suddenly, it was when someone was in bad luck.
But looking at him now, he is smiling gently and looks very happy, and I don’t know if someone is going to be in trouble.
The man was seriously injured, and the only reason he was able to wake up now was because Yu Li gave him some supernatural powers, and because he had a good physique, he was able to wake up halfway.
He leaned weakly against the door, watching the two sisters copy the big boat opposite.
As for the people on the boat, they were tied up and thrown onto the shore, left to fend for themselves.
When Yu Jin and Yu Li returned to the cargo ship, the crew on the cargo ship were all confused.
Yu Jin went to negotiate with the crew members, while Yu Li returned to the cabin to see if her weak and clingy husband was frightened.
He looked quite scared the last time he encountered the pirates.
When I entered the room, I found that the injured man had woken up.
Yu Li just glanced at him and his eyes fell on Fu Wenxiao. He saw him sitting there. It was late at night and the dew was heavy. He was wearing a plain cloak and his hair was loose. He looked elegant and indifferent, but under the light, he seemed a little fragile.
"Li Niang." Fu Wenxiao stood up and walked over, holding her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Yu Li said, "Of course I won't be hurt!" She shook his cold hand and asked, "Are you scared? It's okay, you have to believe me!"
Fu Wenxiao looked at her with a smile, "Well, I believe in A-li."
After confirming that he was okay, Yu Li turned to look at the injured man in the room.
The man looked dazed, as if he had seen something incredible. He was dizzy, absent-minded, with a dull face and a stupid look.
Could it be that she was beaten stupid by her sister?
Considering that he brought them a big ship, Yu Li was very tolerant of him and asked, "Are you okay?"
The man came to his senses and looked at them with a strange look.
He looked at Fu Wenxiao, then at Yu Li, and said in a trance: "Sister-in-law, my last name is Fang, Fang Bihe."
Yu Li blinked, "You call me sister-in-law?"
Fang Bihe nodded, pointed at Fu Wenxiao and said, "Fu... Fu's family and my family are old friends. Brother Fu and I have known each other for a long time."
Yu Li turned to look at Fu Wenxiao and saw him nodding at him.
"Then you are not a runaway slave." She said seriously, "Those people are really liars, so we robbed their boat, should it be okay?"
She was asking this to Fu Wenxiao and Fang Bihe.
Fang Bihe seemed to be choked again. He looked at Fu Wenxiao again and saw that he actually nodded in agreement. His tone was warm and gentle: "Sure, when the time comes, you can go find Captain Ge and re-register it with the government. This ship will be yours."
It just so happened that they had contacts in the government, so it was easy to register a ship of unknown origin.
Anyway, the boat was given by the other party, so even if we knew they had robbed it, we wouldn't dare to report to the police.
Yu Li was very satisfied, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Fang Bihe with a gentle gaze: "You should have a good rest, and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Then she went to find Yu Jin and told her about it.
After watching her leave, Fang Bihe looked at Fu Wenxiao with a strange look.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Wenxiao asked calmly.
Fang Bihe leaned on the bed and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that you are worthy of being like him. Even the wife you married is so extraordinary!" He gave Fu Wenxiao a thumbs up.
Fu Wenxiao smiled, but it was not a big smile, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Fang Bihe's expression darkened. He lay back on the bed with a blank expression, "What else could it be? I was ordered to come to Jiangnan to check the accounts. How could I know..."
Having said that, he sneered.
Fu Wenxiao frowned slightly, thinking about Jiangnan's situation, and said nothing.
He stood up and said to Fang Bihe, "Take good care of your injuries and we'll talk after you recover."
Fang Bihe looked at him, "Aren't you afraid that I will bring you trouble?"
"What are you afraid of?" Fu Wenxiao asked back, "Do you think I'm afraid of trouble?"
Fang Bihe looked at him for a while, then laughed out loud.
Indeed, as long as Fu Xiao is not dead, what trouble is he afraid of?
What he should be afraid of are those people who took advantage of his misfortune after his "death", fearing that he would come back one day and chop off their heads.
That’s what he was saying. How could Fu Xiao die so easily and so simply?
The scourge has lasted for thousands of years. Even if he is going to die, he should take a few people with him first.
**
When Fu Wenxiao found Yu Li, she was talking to Yu Jin about the boat.
Yu Jin looked very happy, "Really? In that case, we'll accept it." Seeing him, she asked happily, "Brother-in-law, is that man really an old friend of your family?"
Fu Wenxiao nodded slightly, looking apologetic: "Yes, I didn't have time to tell you just now."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yu Jin smiled. Now she was calm about Fang Bihe. Not only was he an old friend of her brother-in-law, but he also brought them a boat. He was really a good person.
Then he asked about the man's injuries with concern.
Fu Wenxiao assured her: "He's fine. Although he's seriously injured, he'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"That's good." Yu Jin patted his chest, "He is my brother-in-law's friend, I'm glad he's okay."
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yu Li said to Fu Wenxiao: "You go back and rest. Ah Jin and I are here."
This man is in poor health, so he must not be overworked.
Even Yu Jin hesitated to speak, wanting him to go back and rest quickly. If her brother-in-law fell ill, it would be her sister who would be tired.
Under the urging of the two sisters, Fu Wenxiao had to slowly return to his room to rest.
That night, neither Yu Li nor Yu Jin rested.
When it was daybreak, the two sisters went to have breakfast in high spirits, and then went to visit the injured Fang Bihe.
Fang Bihe has woken up. His face is pale and his wounds have been simply treated. He looks more and more haggard.
Seeing him, Yu Jin felt guilty again.
Regardless, his injuries worsened because of her.
Fang Bihe didn't care about these things. He solemnly thanked the two sisters for their help last night.
The two sisters beat up the people who were chasing him and robbed their boat. In Fang Bihe's view, this was like saving his life.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Fang?" Yu Jin scratched his face. "You are my brother-in-law's friend. I have something to thank you for..."
Thanks to him for bringing a boat, she saved the money to buy one.
With this boat, it will be much more convenient for them to go to the provincial capital to purchase goods in the future, and they no longer need to rent a boat.
After a polite greeting, Yu Jin took the initiative to ask, "What plans do you have for Mr. Fang in the future?"
Fang Bihe said, "I am injured now and cannot move around easily. I may have to bother you for a while. I heard that you are going to Shanping County, so I want to go there to recuperate."
Hearing this, Yu Jin said nothing, and asked, "Mr. Fang, why were you being hunted by those people? They also said that you were a runaway slave?"
Even if it was a runaway slave, there was no need to make such a big fuss, right? This matter was strange at first glance.
Now that he knew Fang Bihe was Fu Wenxiao's friend, Yu Jin knew that he was definitely not a runaway slave.
Fang Bihe smiled helplessly and said softly: "I have evidence of some people's crimes. The owners of those people were afraid that I would hand over the evidence to the government, so they wanted to kill them to silence them..."
Although he didn't explain it very clearly, Yu Jin knew what was good for him.
Her brows furrowed.
Fang Bihe added: "Don't worry, young lady. They didn't kill me this time, so they probably won't do it again in the future. I will leave after I recover from my injuries."
As he spoke, he glanced secretly at Fu Wenxiao.
After seeing Master Fu, he knew that his life was saved and he no longer had to worry about anything.
Yu Jin's slightly frowned brows relaxed. After all, she had not yet mastered it and her skin was not that thick. She felt a little embarrassed to be seen through her thoughts.
"It's okay." She smiled awkwardly, "You are my brother-in-law's friend, just focus on recovering from your injuries."
Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao sat aside and said nothing the whole time, allowing Yu Jin to negotiate, obviously to train her.
After they finished talking, they told Fang Bihe to take good care of his injuries, and then they got up and left.
Fang Bihe couldn't help but stare at them.
Yu Jin was walking behind and suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"
Fang Bihe looked back at her with an apologetic look on his face, and said, "Nothing, I haven't seen Brother Fu for a long time, I didn't expect that he has already married..."
Yu Jin said "oh" and without thinking too much, asked, "Are you from Yuzhou too?"
Fang Bihe was stunned when he heard this, and quickly said, "Yes."
Yu Jin asked curiously: "What is Yuzhou like? What are its specialties? What kind of rouge and powder do people there use? What do they like to eat? They..."
Fang Bihe looked at her blankly.
The more Yu Jin asked, the more excited she became. When she found that he looked confused, she felt a little embarrassed. She knew that her old habit of always wanting to know more about the situation outside so that she could get the news easily was back.
She coughed lightly, "Don't mind it, I'm just asking casually."
Fang Bihe said apologetically: "I can't say what you said for the time being, I..."
He took a breath and his face looked paler.
Yu Jin then remembered that he was still a patient and was almost killed by her accidentally last night.
She quickly said, "Take a good rest, and we'll talk about it later when we have time. I won't bother you."
Having said that, she hurried away.
After a while, Yu Jin came over with another crew member and some medicine for the wounds.
Cargo ships like this usually carry some commonly used medicines, which can be used by Fang Bihe.
