Chapter 697: Escape from the Big Ship
The most common things in the cabin at this time are various carriages.
Lu Qingqing started from the back and collected the rows one by one.
As she walked quickly forward, the carriages on both sides of the road were gradually retracted into the space.
At the same time, carriages were stacked together in the space.
The packages, bedding and other items in the carriage were piled aside.
When we reached the last corner of the cabin, someone had already started banging on the door.
Lu Qingqing quickly packed up the last few carriages and then returned to the cabin entrance.
While retracting the boulder into the space, he flashed into the space.
The thieves who were banging on the door outside hit nothing and rolled in all at once.
They hurriedly got up, holding their weapons and shouting at the cabin:
"Damn it, who dares to play tricks on me?"
With the light coming through the hatch, I could see that the entrance to the bottom of the cabin was empty.
They were all in disbelief.
"This time the ship is empty, nothing on it?
That shouldn't be the case. Aren't all the people on the ships that come and go lately wealthy and powerful? "
The bandits were wondering when they heard someone say:
"Are you hiding in the cabin? Let me light a torch for you.
Wait for me at the door first, don't get ambushed inside."
Seeing their companions leave, the people in the cabin stepped back and leaned against the entrance.
Soon, the people who went out came back with a few torches.
They walked around inside with torches, but really didn't see anyone.
Not only were there no people, but not even a piece of torn bag was seen.
Although the bandits were puzzled, they also secretly thought that they were unlucky.
They sneaked in here to look for valuables while others were out killing and looting.
Who knew that I was so unlucky that I didn’t even see a single hair!
Several people left the cabin cursing and continued to chase the people who were fleeing outside.
It was not until it was completely dark that Lu Qingqing heard no more noise outside and left the space.
The cabin was very quiet at this time.
Lu Qingqing slowly walked out of the cabin along the wall and came to the deck.
The deck was pitch black, with no one in sight, only a faint smell of blood.
She continued walking along the edge, and when she reached the stern, she found a fire burning on the shore not far away.
Next to the fire, three or five bandits were drinking.
Lu Qingqing walked around the boat and didn't see anyone on it.
She went straight to the stern and launched a small boat.
Then he climbed over the railing and jumped onto the boat with ease.
After sitting firmly, she reached out and took the big boat away.
The sudden disappearance of the big ship caused the water surface to shake.
At this time, the bandits on the shore who were on duty at night were still playing drinking games and drinking without realizing it.
Lu Qingqing rowed the boat forward. When she reached the iron chains blocking the road, she simply folded the boat and fell into the water.
Even in the hot summer, the river water is still a little cool at night.
Lu Qingqing felt a shock all over her body and moved her hands and feet in the water a few times.
Then he grabbed the chain, flipped over, and swam forward freestyle.
Only after flipping over seven chains in a row did she release the boat again.
However, rowing a boat alone is not an easy job.
It requires a lot of strength in the arms, waist and abdomen.
After paddling a short distance further, she reached the shore.
She turned around and put the boat into the space, then continued walking forward, stepping on the knee-high weeds on the shore.
At night, the only sounds by the river are the sound of water and the chirping of insects.
Lu Qingqing looked around at the environment and walked a short distance.
Only after confirming that they had passed the blockade area of the bandits did she return to the space.
She had just swam in the river for a while, and now she was all wet.
It was a little chilly just now after being blown by the night wind.
He immediately turned up the heat, changed his dirty clothes, and took a nice hot bath.
Worried about catching a cold, she used the boiled water to make some brown sugar ginger tea that she had prepared earlier.
As soon as the spicy brown sugar ginger water entered her throat, Lu Qingqing's face wrinkled.
She hates the ginger flavor the most; it's spicy and tastes bad.
But now it’s just her and Qin Lang, and she can’t fall sick.
After rinsing my hair twice with a towel, this head of dog-chewed hair was almost half dry.
After touching Qin Lang's soft long hair, she lay down beside his arms.
He took out the map that King Huai had given him and roughly found her current location.
Looking at the short distance on the map that was as long as a finger, I couldn't help but sigh.
This finger-long distance would take at least two months to travel by land.
Thinking of this, she began to research whether there was a larger dock nearby.
If we could find a ship that goes directly to the capital, the journey would be much faster.
After studying the map for a while, he finally decided to board the ship at Fengkou Town.
This town is right next to Fengkou Wharf. There is a small symbol below Fengkou Wharf on the map.
This symbol means the place where large ships anchor.
In other words, the nearest possible location for large ships is this place.
She studied the map again, decided on the route for tomorrow, and then went to bed.
Early the next morning, she led her horse out of the overgrown path.
After arriving at the official road, he rode his horse and galloped towards Fengkou Wharf.
When it was almost noon, I found that there were many refugees fleeing with their families on the official road ahead.
Lu Qingqing stopped someone and asked, only then did she know that the Mingkai City in front had been occupied by the rebels.
The rebels here are just bandits or thieves, to put it nicely.
However, all these small forces have now surrendered to the King of Rebellion.
When they came out to plunder and attack the city, they even raised the banner of King Chuang.
Many towns were unaware of the situation and truly thought that it was the King of Rebellion who was attacking, so they did not have much intention of resisting.
However, they did not know that these small forces not only did not distribute land to the people like King Chuang did.
Instead, every time they captured a city, they plundered it wantonly and enjoyed themselves to their heart's content.
The rich and the common people in the city all suffered.
Lu Qingqing asked again and learned that the Ming Kaicheng in front still allowed entry and exit.
But every time they entered or left the city, they were searched very strictly.
Once the valuables on your body are discovered, they will all be taken away.
The old man who was stopped was speaking indignantly about the big iron pot he had hidden at home, which had been taken away.
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she could enter and leave the city.
As long as she is allowed in, otherwise she will have to take a long detour.
She continued riding forward, and after she had walked for a while, the sky began to become overcast.
Not long after, the wind began to blow, and there was a faint whistling sound.
The wind blew away the heat, making people feel a lot more comfortable.
Even the little white horse under him was not panting from the heat as before.
But it was a little dark at this time. She looked up at the sky and saw thick clouds slowly gathering.
The scorching sun that had previously caused her back to ache was now gone.
Gradually, the clouds became thicker and thicker, and there were signs of darkening.
Because of the thick clouds, the sky became darker and darker.
The low clouds ahead, which seemed to be within reach, gave me a feeling of "dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it".
But it didn't rain at this time.
Lu Qingqing had a feeling that the rain would be quite heavy.
She had to speed up and try to reach Mingkai City before the rain started.
But as she continued on her way, the wind grew stronger and stronger, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Even Xiaobai under him was affected by the strong wind and his speed was getting slower and slower.
