A knife in love

Chapter 1708

Murong Danyan saw the shocking things happening one after another with his own eyes, and he was terrified in his heart. Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's words, he thought she was frightened, and then became incoherent, so he didn't answer.At this moment, Wei Jiu said loudly: "Not good! I'm afraid there is still gunpowder in the bilge, and it is about to explode right now! Everyone, lie down on the ground quickly, or..."

Before Qi Jiu finished speaking, he heard a faint sound of drums coming from the big ship.Li Qiufeng hurriedly yelled "get down" to Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu, and the three immediately fell to the ground.Qi Jiu saw the opportunity very quickly, and lay down on the ground with the three of them.The four of them just fell down, only to hear a loud "bang down", and a red light suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, Murong Danyan, and Wang Xiaoyu only felt the blood red in front of their eyes, piercing their eyes for a while, and they dared not look any more, they all lay down on the stone platform and hugged their heads with their hands.In the blink of an eye, the four of them only felt severe pain in their ears and buzzing in their heads.After a while, the entire stone platform trembled violently, causing the four people's bodies to rise and fall along with the stone platform, swaying from side to side.There seemed to be countless small stones flying around, hitting the arms and bodies of the four people, burning and excruciatingly painful.

Li Qiufeng put his head in his hands, horrified in his heart, thinking to himself that he had already experienced the power of gunpowder when he blew up the isolated peak.At this time, the remaining gunpowder on the big ship exploded, although it didn't shake him out like before, but the power was not small.The things buzzing above and to the left of his head and flying around were presumably the projectiles hidden in the bottom cabin.Fortunately, I was lying on the stone platform, and most of the big ship was submerged in the water. The power of these projectiles was greatly reduced when they were fired, and they lost their aim.If the big ship floated on the water intact, and these projectiles hit, I'm afraid I would have been beaten into a sieve.It's just that although I was not hit by the bullet right now, I don't know if Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu are safe or not.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was anxious, but he couldn't look up, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but the surroundings suddenly became quiet.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he hastily let go of his hands holding his head.He was a cautious person, even though there was no sound around him, he didn't dare to stand up immediately, but lay down on the stone platform, raised his head cautiously and looked around.I saw the smoke and dust all around, and I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly.His nose smelled of saltpeter and fireworks, and after taking a few deep breaths, his throat felt quite uncomfortable.

When Li Qiufeng was hesitating, he suddenly heard Murong Danyan say in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, Brother Li, are you alright?"

When Li Qiufeng heard Murong Danyan's words, he was both surprised and happy, and said loudly: "Miss Murong, are you okay?"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said loudly: "Brother Qi, Miss Wang, are you all right?"

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, only Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu said almost in unison: "I'm fine!"

It's just that the voices of the people fell away, but someone screamed not far away, and then said in a trembling voice: "I, I don't, it's not good, save me, save... save me!"

When Li Qiufeng heard this man speak, it seemed to be Shopkeeper Song's voice.He got up from the ground, but he was afraid that there would be bullets coming, so he had to bow his body and walk slowly, following Shopkeeper Song's voice.He had just taken two steps when his left foot tripped over a stone, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that this stone platform is considered flat, so how could there be stones suddenly?Could it be that when the big ship exploded just now, it actually collapsed the stone platform?

While he was thinking, he heard shopkeeper Song's groans getting smaller and smaller.Knowing the urgency of the situation, Li Qiufeng didn't dare to delay, and cautiously moved towards the left side again.After a while, he noticed Shopkeeper Song's voice not far in front of him, and was about to say hello, when Shopkeeper Song's groaning sound disappeared suddenly, which startled Li Qiufeng.

At this time, the smoke and dust around him had dissipated quite a bit, Li Qiufeng saw a black shadow in front of him, and hurriedly stopped, his right hand was already on the handle of the knife.He stopped for a moment, then took two steps forward, when his right foot suddenly touched something soft, so he had to stop, slowly squatted down, stretched out his left hand to grope forward, and even touched a human leg.Even though Li Qiufeng was very courageous, he was startled and almost jumped up from the ground.After a while, Li Qiufeng suppressed the panic in his heart and groped carefully for a while, only then did he realize that there was indeed a person lying on the ground.The man's legs were limp on the ground, but his upper body was pressed down by a pile of stones.

Li Qiufeng was startled and suspicious, not knowing what happened.He stood there for a long while, and the dust around him became less and less, only then did he realize that there were a lot of stones piled up on the ground, and the two legs protruded from the stones.Li Qiufeng shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper Song, what's wrong with you?"

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he heard footsteps behind him. He was about to turn his head to look, but he heard the person behind him say: "Brother Li, did you find anything?"

Li Qiufeng heard that it was Qi Jiu's voice, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said without turning his head: "Shopkeeper Song was crushed under a pile of chaotic stones. It's strange, why are there so many large and small stones on the platform? "

Just as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Qi Jiu had already arrived by his side.At this time, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and he could already see the situation in front of him vaguely.I saw that the stone wall has become much shorter, and in some places it is only two or three feet high.It was only then that Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu suddenly realized that the gunpowder explosion on the big ship was so violent that it collapsed the stone wall.Shopkeeper Song happened to be hiding under the stone wall, and was crushed under the collapsed stone.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu bent down almost at the same time, busy removing the stone that was pressing on Shopkeeper Song.The two moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they removed more than a dozen large and small stones, exposing Shopkeeper Song's upper body.It's just that when Qi Jiu and Li Qiufeng carefully lifted shopkeeper Song out of the rocks, they found that he was stiff and dead, so they had to put the body aside.Li Qiufeng inspected the body carefully and found that shopkeeper Song's face had only a few rub marks, but a large piece of his chest had collapsed.Presumably when the stone wall collapsed, although shopkeeper Song's head was not smashed, it did break a lot of his sternum.After the sternum was broken, it pierced into the heart vein, and it actually took the life of Shopkeeper Song.

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu didn't have any friendship with shopkeeper Song, but they felt a little sad to see him die so miserable.At this time, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu also got up from the ground and walked to Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu.Just now when the two daughters were lying on the stone platform, they heard Li Qiufeng talking to Qi Jiu, and knew that shopkeeper Song was buried under the rocks.At this time, seeing Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu standing still, and there seemed to be a person lying under their feet, Murong Danyan's heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Song, the shopkeeper Song is also dead?"
