Chapter 503

The bully in the dark room was the deputy steward on board, and the root cause was that the money was exposed.

These two siblings, sick and weak, are very generous.Merchant ships ask for a lot of money. The younger brother was worried about his sister’s illness, so he agreed without even haggling. After boarding the ship, he asked for the only cabin, and asked for a doctor and decoction, so he inevitably hired someone. miss.

Especially this sister is quite pretty...

Fan Qiongzhi's knife failed to kill the person. She was not strong enough, so he finally escaped.

The deputy steward clutched the wound on the side of his neck, staggered and ran out of the cabin, shouting loudly.

Fan Qiongzhi woke up like a dream, got up, staggered and ran to Fan Qionglin's side.

Fan Qionglin was tied up tightly, his mouth was also gagged, and he couldn't make a sound, so he hit his head on the deck in a hurry.Fortunately, sister woke up in time.

"Sister, what should I do?! That man is on the ship—"

Fan Qiongzhi took off the gag and went to untie him, "Find a place to hide first."

The siblings seemed to be turned upside down at this time, Fan Qiongzhi, who had never had a backbone, was a little more calm and collected than Fan Qionglin.

But it only lasted a moment.

The deputy steward fell to the ground before he could go far, blood dripped all over the floor, his limbs twitched non-stop, and it seemed that he could not survive.

People in other cabins heard the movement and opened the door to look at it. Seeing the tragic situation outside, they all screamed in shock.

The yelling alarmed the other boatmen, and the sound of chaotic footsteps soon sounded in the corridor.

When the boatman felt that the deputy steward's eyes were wide open and he was out of breath, he looked in the direction where the blood was spreading, and there was nothing he couldn't guess.

The leader laid the deputy steward's body flat, got up and said angrily: "Arrest those siblings!"

Fan Qiongzhi and Fan Qionglin supported each other, and when they got out of the cabin, they heard that the deputy steward had died, so they had to run in the opposite direction.

The boat was not too big, and it quickly left the corridor and reached the outer corridor, where there was no way to escape.

Turning around, a group of people were approaching——

"Ah, sister..."

Fan Qionglin clutched Fan Qiongzhi's sleeve tightly, sweating profusely, and his complexion was ashen.

Fan Qiongzhi's palms were also sweaty, and he turned his head to look at the pitch-black river, and then at his younger brother who was shivering beside him, he regained his composure, and gave up the idea of ​​just jumping off like this.

When they opened their mouths, they first begged for mercy, and after telling the whole story, they hurriedly stated that their siblings were willing to donate all their money in order to repay the order of the deputy steward.

It's a pity that the leader is none other than the elder brother of the deputy steward.

How could the murderer not pay with his life when his brother died tragically?When a person dies, those belongings are still theirs.

The siblings were eventually forced to jump into the river.

Fan Qionglin grew up in the countryside, and there are streams and ponds everywhere in the southern land. Even if his family is strict with him, he still knows how to maw water.

The bad thing is that I can't keep up with my physical strength. I can barely support it for a while by myself, but my sister is not familiar with water...

"Brother," Fan Qiongzhi choked on a few mouthfuls of water as he supported his arm, "let go, let go."

let go?

Fan Qionglin was in despair.

He couldn't accept it emotionally, but his rationality told him that sister was right, one death is better than two.

The hand subconsciously relaxed a little.

But looking around, this place is in the middle of the river, there is no way to rely on, and there is no way to see the two banks. Even if he is alone, it is difficult to survive this desperate situation.

Then he tightened his grip again: "Sister and I, together..."

The merchant ship did not leave, and the people on board were still staring at the dying siblings in the water—it would be best if they could drown, if not, someone would go down and see them off.

Fan Qionglin told Fan Qiongzhi how to hold his breath and how to float his body, but his limbs gradually sank, and the remaining strength in his body was also rapidly losing.

Both of them thought that they would surely die.

Unexpectedly, life should not be lost, and another ship sailed behind, with a huge body and majestic momentum, it looked like a monster in the dark night.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Fosang and Calamus went back to the other side and walked towards the bow.

The speed of the boat at night was already slow, but it gradually slowed down now.

The torches gathered quickly and illuminated the river, and the people who followed the river's ups and downs could be clearly seen.

"My lady, there are two people who fell into the water!"

Seeing the boat stop, Fan Qionglin was overjoyed: "Sister, we are saved!"

There was no joy on Fan Qiongzhi's face, and it was even paler than before.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the figure standing against the light.

Obviously she couldn't see the face clearly, but it was familiar, so familiar that it seemed to be engraved in her mind.

I couldn't help being in a trance before my eyes, and the scene in my dream reappeared.

That day, she and a group of women who were also trafficked or looted were sent to a large ship by a small boat.

Before he got close, he saw a figure jumping from the big boat into the rolling river.

The white waves stirred up were very high, and the small boat was so close that it splashed Fan Qiongzhi all over.

She was as startled as everyone else.Already apprehensive, more apprehensive.

The person who threw herself into the water seemed to have the will to die, but perhaps because of her survival instinct, she soon struggled again.

There was a burst of unscrupulous ridicule on the big boat, but no one went down to rescue.

The boat people on their side are also accustomed to it, even if they can save people by stretching out the oars, they are still indifferent.

"There are people looking for death and life every day, who are they scaring? Everything is valuable these days, only life is worthless."

As he spoke, he pointed at them: "Your life is not worth it, if you dare to make trouble, it will end like this!"

No one dared to refute, because he was right, their lives were indeed worthless.

"help me--"

The cry for help has become weak, and it seems that he can't move anymore, and the person is sinking.

Fan Qiongzhi saw her face and her despair.

For some reason, she, who was always timid and afraid to pay attention to other matters, suddenly felt an impulse.

Regardless of Fan Qionglin's obstruction, he ran to the other side of the boat, grabbed the side of the boat, and stretched out his hand: "Hold on to me..."

Jiang Fosang obviously also recognized the siblings.

What a similar scene, I can't help but think of the past.

"Quick, grab my hand..."

"Why do you want to seek death? It's better to live than to die..."

"You look like a girl from a good family. She has never been through hardships since she was a child. I am no better than you. I don't feel bitter when I suffer a lot. We all have to think about it. It's good to think about everything..."

"Liu Niang, does the injury still hurt?"

"Liu Niang, look at what this is! You performed well today, and you got this. What's the bait? I left half for Qionglin, and we two share the rest?"

"Liu Niang, you can't be too strong in life, next time you give in to them, you can save yourself from the whip..."

"Female gentleman," Calamus's words interrupted Jiang Fosang's thoughts, "Save or not?"

The boatmen and handymen also looked at her, and it was not easy to meddle in this matter without her speaking.

Jiang Fosang looked down at Fan Qiongzhi, and Fan Qiongzhi also looked at her, their eyes met, there was no expression on their faces.

Suddenly, Jiang Fosang turned and left.

Calamus thought it meant no help, and hurriedly followed.

The boatmen were about to disperse, when the indifferent female voice came to my ears along the night wind: "Fill them up."
