Chapter 679 Deer Hunter

"Is it full 36!" The boatmen shouted from outside the cabin, "My place is full!"

"I have twelve here, all of them!"

"I'm here too!"

"Wait," Mu Cheng turned his head and looked at the fisherman at the bow of the boat, "Can we change boats if we want?"

The boatman laughed, "It's not without reason that I have five seats left on this boat... If you want to change, other guests must be willing to change with you!"

Bai Ling sighed, and said in a low voice, "Brother Mu, if you can't bear it, forget it, you may not be able to go the same way after crossing Jiang..."

Li Yiru didn't know whether he should enter the boat or not, and stood there waiting for Mucheng and Bai Ling's reaction.

Mu Cheng took a deep look at the seven gray robes he was wearing, and walked in with a sullen face.

There are two rows of seats on the left and right in the cabin, and there are handles on both sides of the seats, but the cabin is narrow, and after sitting down, the legs of the person opposite are almost side by side, facing each other, which is very awkward.

Mu Cheng took the initiative to sit opposite the headed gray-robed man, but the other party directly blocked Mu Cheng's way with his legs outstretched.

"This position is reserved for that little brother."

The gray-robed man smiled and looked at Li Yiru friendly.

Li Yiru pointed at himself and swallowed unconsciously, "Me?"

"Or the little brother next to you is also fine." The gray-robed man pointed to Bo Ling, "I've been looking at old men all this way, it's really no fun..."

Bo Ling smiled with deep eyes, and was about to step forward, when Li Yiru suddenly grabbed her and walked over by herself.

Mu Cheng and Bo Ling called out "Third Brother" at the same time, Li Yiru paused, but sat down opposite the gray-robed man.

"I'm fine." Li Yiru said with a smile.

The old woman and her grandson were sitting at the farthest side, looking at this side with some anxiety, and the boatman also opened the curtain to look in, "Why haven't you sat down yet? We're about to set off!"

Bai Ling silently sat down beside Li Yiru, and Mu Cheng also took a seat beside her.

Seeing this situation, the old woman opened her mouth to the outside, "Boatman, everything is ready, you can start your pole!"

"Then - hurry up!"

The boatman first extinguished the lights in the cabin, and everything was plunged into darkness for a while.

With the long call sign of the boatman, the whole boat immediately rose and fell.

The gray robes seemed to be very familiar with the waves, they silently grasped the handles on both sides of their seats, and drifted with the waves without saying a word, like scarecrows without any vitality—except for the one sitting opposite Li Yiru.

He kept staring at the boy's face with a smile on his face.

The surging waves lifted and dropped the boat, and the huge sound of water smashed outside the cabin, as if the whole boat would be broken up at any moment.

There are no windows in the cabin, but the curtains at both ends are made of cotton cloth, rolled up and down from time to time while swinging, casting the moonlight and the light of the river into the cabin.

At this moment, Li Yiru finally felt the pressure from the gray-robed man. He held on to the seat tightly and stared at his toes.

However, he raised his head a few times and met the opposite gaze.

This kind of gaze was completely different from that of the daytime. Li Yiru didn't know how to describe his feeling. He just felt that the other party was looking at him, like a pack of wolves looking at a piece of fat.

"...Are you okay?" Li Yiru asked with a frown.

"No." The gray-robed man seemed to realize his impoliteness, his slender eyes narrowed again, "However, you'd better get closer to me."

"What?" Li Yiru thought he didn't hear clearly.

Once again the huge wave hit the boat, but the boatman steered her straight through the waves.

"You need to get closer to me..." The man in gray robe laughed amidst the sound of the surging river.

In the eyes of Mu Cheng and Bai Ling, the voice of the man in gray robe was almost inaudible, they could only see him speaking silently, with his thin lips gently opening and closing.

The water waves were divided into two, and the frightened cries of children came from the cabin. The old woman let go of one hand, and gently touched the child's chest, signaling him not to be afraid.

The gray-robed man stopped talking, but leaned his back against the back of the chair with a smile, and cast his gaze outside the cabin.

Amidst the cries and the slapping of the river, Li Yiru was absolutely sure that he had just heard something.

——"I can save your life if something happens in a while."

As the river roared, he looked at Bo Ling and Mu Cheng in panic, but before he could speak, he felt that the whole ship seemed to stop.

Everyone's bodies are falling in the same direction - at this moment, they have come to Jiangxin.

The old woman was the first to realize that something was wrong. She stretched out her hand in a daze, opened the boat curtain, and saw the boatmen throwing something to each other. The sound seemed like chains.

This sound also attracted the attention of Bo Ling and Mu Cheng. They listened to the shouts of the boatmen outside—these boatmen seemed to be trying to tie the boat together.

"What are you doing... what are you doing?" the old woman asked tremblingly.

The boatman answered her with wild yells and laughter.

The wind in the middle of the river was strong, and the three small boats shook more violently than before, as if they were about to be swallowed by the river at any moment—however, the boatmen standing at the bow stood comfortably in Feng Shui. They heaved and swayed with the boat, throwing ropes to each other , like a tumbler standing in the mist.

When the three boats were tied together, the boatman opened the curtain and walked in.

"Hand over all your valuables!"

Burling heard inaudible roars and panicked shouts from the other two ships.

"I know that all of you are very capable!" The boatman smiled, and looked at Mu Cheng - after all, he has two knives on his waist, but the boatman's face is full of arrogance, "But This is not the ground, if you don't listen to what I say, on this river, you will all die!"

After all, there was another series of laughter.

The old woman closest to the bow cried out, but she couldn't help it. The old man tremblingly took out the money bag from his clothes, and under the moonlight, the man saw that the child seemed to be wearing something around his neck, and he stretched out his hand regardless of what it was. Snatching it hard, almost hung the child up.

The old woman cried, "You're guilty!", and then hugged her little grandson tightly in her arms.

"And you! You guys!" The boatman pointed to the gray-robed man who had been silent all this time, "I have all the good things on my body, and now I take the initiative to hand them over. If I find them out in a while, I will kill you all." Throw it into the river and feed the fish!"

However, the other six gray-robed men sat there silently, as if they didn't hear.

The boatman grabbed one of them by the collar and slapped him hard several times. Even amidst the sound of the river, the slap was still loud.

However, the gray robe was like a wooden man, allowing the boatman to beat and scold him, without any intention of fighting back or resisting.

"Boatman," the gray-robed man opposite Li Yiru raised his hand, with an unchanging smile on his face, "They are all very poor, come here, I have something good for you."
