Chapter 715: Companion on the Road to the Underworld
Lu Qingqing had been with him for such a long time that she had read some of his medical books and knew the importance of them.
At this moment, he also hurried forward to help move things.
First they moved the medical books, followed by various processed precious medicinal materials.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she used the space to quickly load things into the carriage.
Old Man Zhuang was already frightened out of his wits, and at this moment he was so busy cleaning up that he didn't notice anything unusual.
With the help of Lu Qingqing's plug-in, when the bandits' boat approached the passenger ship, the two loaded all the things into the carriage.
While the two were packing up, the people on the second floor of the passenger ship either jumped into the water to escape or found a place to hide.
Now, there is not a single person on the second deck of the passenger ship.
Lu Qingqing heard the excited shouts of the bandits under the boat and knew they were about to come aboard.
She ran forward, pulling the carriage, and seeing Old Man Zhuang still looking down at the boat, she called out:
"Old man, hurry up and follow!"
When Old Man Zhuang heard the shouting, he hurried over with a knife in hand.
He climbed onto the shaft of the cart, found a bundle, and said in a sorrowful voice:
"Qingqing girl, with so many bandits around, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape.
I can't float either. When the time is right, you can jump into the water and run away.
Inside this bundle is the ginseng you gave me before.
There is also some silver and money that I saved, as well as some precious medicinal herbs.
If you have the chance to take them out, sell these herbs.
It's also a way of repaying your kindness in protecting me for so long.
If you see my senior brother next time, remember to tell him.
I'm going to accompany my master and his wife, tell him not to miss me!
Alas, I haven’t cured Xiaolang yet.
However, this time he has to accompany me, an old man.
Qingqing girl, don’t be sad, Xiaolang and I will accompany you on the road to the underworld…”
Lu Qingqing pulled the carriage to a corner, looked up at the roof, and felt that it was almost enough to go up.
Just as I relaxed, I heard Old Man Zhuang on the shaft of the cart giving his last words.
Listening to him rambling on and on, and still wanting to go to Huangquan Road with Qin Lang, she interrupted him and said:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and give me a hand."
Old man Zhuang was wiping his tears when Lu Qingqing pulled him away.
Seeing that she was about to carry Qin Lang, he was still a little stunned and advised:
"Qingqing girl, Xiaolang is such a big guy, you can't escape with him.
Listen, leave us alone and run for your life!"
Lu Qingqing had already carried Qin Lang on her back and quickly stepped onto the roof of the carriage.
Seeing that some bandits holding torches had already boarded the boat from the lower floor, he quickly climbed onto the roof.
He moved forward a few steps and put Qin Lang down.
Then he immediately turned around and looked at the still confused Old Man Zhuang and stretched out his hand.
"Come up quickly, let's hide here!"
Old man Zhuang was still a little overwhelmed when he lay on the roof.
He listened to the sounds of fighting below, his hands trembling, and whispered:
"Qingqing girl, can we do this?"
Lu Qingqing raised her head and glanced down. Seeing that the bandits had not come up yet, she replied softly:
“This is all we can do for now!
Wait for me here and don't move.
I'll find a place to hide the carriage."
As he said that, he quickly jumped off the roof and walked inside with the carriage.
She remembered that if she walked further in, there should be a sunken area.
There used to be a lot of junk piled there.
That position should be large enough for a carriage to enter.
In fact, she didn't expect that this place could really hide a carriage.
It's just a turn to put the carriage into the space.
Although it is dark now, you can still see it if you get close.
To be on the safe side, she walked a little further inside.
When she was almost at the end of the carriage, she saw a sunken area.
At this moment, there are a lot of miscellaneous things piled up inside.
She stuck her head out to look outside, and seeing no one was around, she quickly put her things away.
Then, he pulled the carriage in.
She stepped outside to take a look, and took the opportunity to put it into the space.
Then, he put out the pile of debris.
After putting away the carriage, she returned to the roof.
When Old Man Zhuang saw her come back, he relaxed.
He wanted to talk to Lu Qingqing, but was afraid of being exposed, so he had to hold back.
Lu Qingqing lay on the roof, thinking about how to escape.
At this moment, the entire river surface was pitch black.
In such a chaotic situation, the bandits would most likely not discover them.
Of course, this is just speculation.
What will happen next depends on the situation.
If the situation really became critical, she would knock Old Man Zhuang unconscious, tie him up, put a hood on his head and throw him into the space.
When she is left alone, she will naturally find a way to leave.
The more tense the moment, the calmer Lu Qingqing's mind became.
She thought about what might happen next bit by bit and came up with the corresponding measures.
At this time, Lu Qingqing felt that the boat seemed to be moving.
She raised her head and looked around, and found that the passenger ship was indeed moving towards the shore.
Looking towards the shore, I saw many bandits pulling ropes with the sound of "hey yo hey yo".
In an instant, Lu Qingqing also understood what these bandits meant.
Although these bandits have small boats, most of them are probably not good at swimming.
Just before the pirates' boat approached, many people on the passenger ship jumped off the ship and ran away.
But the bandits did not chase after them.
She just thought that these bandits wanted to capture more and release fewer.
Now that I think about it, there may not be many people among them who can swim.
However, if the ship docked, it would be easier to deal with.
At this time, sounds of fighting and begging for mercy were heard again on the lower floor of the passenger ship.
It turned out that the bandits on the lower layer had tied the ropes and started searching for the passengers again.
Soon, someone was found.
In order to avoid the bandits, many people ran to the second floor of the passenger ship.
The people on the second floor watched the passenger ship getting closer and closer to the shore, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.
If there were about a hundred people on the boat just now, there must be at least two or three hundred people on the shore.
If they really got ashore, they would be like turtles in a jar.
Someone suggested going down and cutting the ropes tied to the boat.
But no one dared to respond.
There are nearly a hundred people guarding the lower floor!
If they try to cut the rope, they will inevitably clash.
Everyone was in a stalemate for a moment.
At this time, the passenger ship was getting closer and closer to the shore.
Some people in the crowd looked at it and decided not to wait any longer.
He quickly ran to the stern of the boat and jumped into the river with a splash.
When the bandits on the lower level saw this, they just cursed and ignored the person who jumped into the water.
Even the bandits on the small boats next to the passenger ship saw them but did not chase them.
Seeing this, many people who knew how to swim were relieved.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, more than a dozen people escaped.
The people on the boat who couldn't swim only regretted that they hadn't learned how to float before.
But as the figures of the bandits on the shore became clearer and clearer, many people stopped standing stupidly on the boat and began to look for places to hide.
Someone walked to where Lu Qingqing had originally placed the carriage, took a look, and left.
