Sister Wu went to invite Madam Zhang, but she refused, “There are many of us, so we won’t go over to trouble you, please thank Madam for me.”
Hearing Sister Wu’s words back, Song Wan Yue didn’t say anything and got up, “Then let’s go and eat, after eating Grandma will rest for a while.”
In the afternoon, Madam Zhang came over when the time came, and several people played all afternoon.
The old gentleman and Song Wan Yue continued to play chess and were surprised to hear bursts of laughter, Meng had been in the house for so many years and it was rare to hear such happy laughter from her.
“What’s good on your grandmother’s side?”
“Oh, Mrs. Zhang, who is travelling with us, has taught her the leaf tiles, and Grandma and my mother are having a good time playing.”
The old man dropped a piece and listened to the rain outside, “This rain doesn’t seem to stop for a while, if it continues like this, the harvest on this side of the land will definitely be affected and people will have to suffer again.”
Song Wan Yue also looked out of the window.
She had heard Wang Wu say that the water level had risen quite a lot.
It rained for three days in a row, and only on the fourth day did the rain finally stop, so Wang Wu hurriedly ordered people to prepare for the journey.
Mrs. Zhang and Meng also got acquainted, and apart from eating and sleeping, they almost stayed here for a long time, talking with Meng and helping to wind the spools of thread when they were not playing leaf cards.
The water level had risen after several days of rain, so the boat was able to travel faster.
I don’t know if it was because of the rain or the rise in the water level, but the boat was the only one on the vast surface of the water.
Everyone on board felt the tension, Song San and the others stood on the deck, helping to look around, while the rest stayed in their rooms, except for Madam Zhang, who still came to Meng’s side, talking and laughing with her.
After a few more miles, not much further from Qingyang dock, Wang Wu’s heart was just about to drop a little when he saw a few boats speeding by in the distance, he was alarmed and told everyone to get ready.
Song Wangyue headed for the deck, Wang Wu saw it from afar and shouted for her to go back, “Go back, close the door and don’t come out.”
Song Wangyue walked over unhurriedly as if she hadn’t heard.
Wang Wu’s voice changed in pitch, “Miss Song, the water bandits are inhumane.
“No matter.”
Song Wan Yue watched indifferently as the few boats got closer and closer, “As I said, these guards of mine are very capable of fighting, they won’t let anything happen to you.”
Just as the words left her mouth, several boats had already arrived close, throwing out hooks and iron anchors to hang the boats.
Wang Wu’s face changed greatly and subconsciously shielded Song Wan Yue behind him, cupping his fist towards the people on the boat, “Good men, this boat is just an ordinary family going back to visit their relatives, please let us pass.”
“Cut the crap, if you have the sense to let these people take out all their belongings, I can consider letting you go, otherwise I will kill you and throw you into the water to feed the fish.”
Before Wang Wu could say anything, a cold voice came out from behind him, “What a big mouth, I don’t know who will be fed to the fish today?”
As the words came out, a delicate little face peeked out from behind Wang Wu. The man at the head of the group looked straight in the eyes, and when he saw that it was just a little girl, he was even more excited, and was about to ask his men to build a plank for him to go up, when a man beside him whispered something in his ear, and the man at the head of the group stopped moving and waved his hand at his men. …
The bandits on several boats nimbly climbed onto the boat, drew their swords from their belts and cut towards Song San and the others.
Song San and the others were not known to be vegetarians either, and met them with their weapons.
Wang Wu was so frightened that his face turned white. He looked around and saw a wooden stick not far away and tried to run over to get it, but only ran two steps before he was intercepted by a water bandit with a large sword swinging towards him.
Wang Wu closed his eyes in despair. Instead of the pain he had imagined, he heard a scream and the sound of a large knife falling to the ground. He opened his eyes and the water bandit in front of him had been hit by an arrow and was covering his arm and wailing. Subconsciously, he turned around and saw the sleeve arrow on Song Wangyue’s arm.
“Come back.”
Wang Wu hurriedly ran back, and as he turned his head, he thought of something and leaned down to pick up the large knife that had fallen to the ground and ran back to Song Wangyue’s side, protecting her.
The two sides were at a standstill.
The water bandits had been operating in this area for years and had never met such stubborn resistance before. The leader of the bandits blew a whistle and a number of bandits climbed onto the boat, some joined the fight and some rushed to the cabin.
Master Chu was at the mouth of the ship’s cabin, standing with his sword in his arms, an icy aura emanating from his body.
The water bandits waved their swords at her and Master Chu sheathed his sword, bringing up several trails of blood wherever the tip of his sword passed.
The water bandits could not even scream before they lost their breath.
Wang Wu could see it so clearly that his hand was shaking as he held the sword.
The leader of the bandits also saw clearly, and with red eyes, he waved his hand again, and at once several of them leapt into the water with chisels, trying to cut through the bottom of the boat, but as soon as they entered the water, their necks were wiped, and blood soon stained the water.
The sound of the fight outside was so loud that Meng and Xu could hear it clearly, and they couldn’t help but turn white. They wanted to send Sister Wu out to take a look, but they were afraid of causing trouble for Song Wan Yue, so they waited with their hearts in their mouths.
“Madam, don’t be afraid.”
Mrs. Zhang looked as normal as if she was used to such scenes, “Master and I are used to this kind of thing every time we come back, so we are used to it.
The head of the
The water bandits, who have been entrenched in this area for many years, knew that they had met a formidable enemy today and were no longer in love with the battle, and blew a whistle.
“Leave them!”
Song Wangyue ordered.
Hearing her words, Wang Wu almost knelt down for her, Auntie, the water bandits have automatically withdrawn, why did you leave them behind?
“Stinky girl, how dare you!”
The water bandit at the head also heard his words and was furious, he had been a water bandit for so many years, no one had dared to be so arrogant in front of him.
Song Wangyue turned to look at him, her delicate little face was all cool, “Not only them, you will stay too.”
“What a big mouth, you think grandpa I ……”
Before he could finish his words, the boat by his feet began to shake and water came up from the bottom of the boat, his face changed greatly, before he could say anything else, the water bandits on the other boats exclaimed, “Not good, the boat is leaking!”
The water bandits on the big boat heard the shouts of their companions and were in disarray, caught by Song San and the others, and Jin Hao ran over from behind with a rope and tied them all up.
The leader of the water bandits took a bad look and turned around and jumped into the water, trying to escape, only to be caught in a net just as he jumped in.
