Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 44 Strength in numbers
Mrs. Mei was a little confused when she saw her panic-looking children and grandchildren coming back, with a woman behind them.

"what's up?"

With a hand, Mrs. Mei pulled Mei Qian onto the boat. Mei Qian turned around and pulled Cui'er up with her.

Mrs. Mei helped, and when she got closer and saw the scar on Cui'er's face, she couldn't help but take a breath.

"Where did this little lady come from?"

"Don't talk about it yet, let's get out of here first."

Everyone who got on the boat threw their things on the boat. Before Mei Qian had even taken a breath, she urged her father to row quickly.

Mei Qian didn't need to talk about this at all. Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou had already gone to the bow of the boat to row.

On the other hand, Mrs. Han wouldn't stop drinking water. She obviously didn't understand it from beginning to end, but she still talked a lot. As a result, Mrs. Mei listened for a long time and didn't understand.

"Go, go, go! Qian girl, tell me, where did this ugly girl come from?"

Mrs. Mei, who had exhausted her patience, finally interrupted Han's description.

She glanced at Cui'er warily again. Cui'er stood obediently on the deck without saying a word. She didn't even look around, which was very polite, and she didn't mean to explain herself.

"He was rescued from the water bandits."

"Oh my God! Why did I encounter water bandits when I was ashore?"

Mrs. Mei was frightened by what Mei Qian said, and now Mei Qian quickly explained the cause and effect.

"Fortunately, Cui'er reminded us and asked us to leave quickly. We have to ask her for details about the water bandits nearby. We have to be prepared in the past few days."

Mei Qian mentioned Cui'er, and Mrs. Mei naturally looked at her. Cui'er also raised her head when Mei Qian mentioned her. The scars on her face did look scary, but the other person's clear eyes were not. Not like a bad guy.

However, Mrs. Mei asked cautiously: "Is this girl reliable? Don't look back, she is one of the water bandits."

"Don't worry, she can't be one of them."

Later, when Mei Qian told Cui'er that she had let Cui'er chop off the water bandit's head, Mrs. Mei was so frightened that she gasped.

Even Li Baizhou looked at Mei Qian with wide eyes. He didn't expect Mei Qian to be so cruel.

"Now that the water bandits know about our existence, they cannot be left alive.

She was an orphan and had nowhere to go, but she knew the details of the water bandits. She probably couldn't survive without us. I was kind-hearted and gave her a chance to change her ways. "

Everyone's lips twitched when they heard Mei Qian's "good intentions" theory, especially Li Baizhou. Do they really think he is stupid?
Mei Qian did this just to test the girl named Cui'er.

If the other party succeeds in killing them, they will completely cut off their own escape route and have no choice but to follow Mei Qian and the others.

At this time, Mei Qian was indeed accepting.

If she couldn't do it, Li Baizhou thought that since Mei Qian could come up with this method, maybe neither Cui'er nor the fainted water bandit would be able to escape.

Because Cui'er understood, she was not merciful at all when she took action.

This is her chance, and a ruthless person like Mei Qian can survive at any time.

Cui Erruo was originally worried about how she would survive alone, but now that Mei Qian has given her such a chance, she really feels that she has a real chance to survive!
"My dear mother! Qian girl, did you really let that girl kill that water bandit?"

Han was running the fastest before and didn't pay attention to what Mei Qian and the others were doing behind them. Now Han looked at Mei Qian as if he had seen something ghost.

Why is this girl so cruel?
In a daze, she remembered that her inhumane brothers were also repaired by Mei Qian's idea. After thinking about this, Han looked at Mei Qian with a hint of awe in his eyes, thankful that they were his family.

"Otherwise? Wait for her to wake up and inform the other water bandits of our existence? Then catch up and take revenge on us? Even if they do come to take revenge in the end, one less person means one less combat effectiveness.

I think my elder brother knows how hard that woman pulls people off. "

Mei Shitou, who was drawing prizes not far away, kept hearing what was said here. When he saw everyone in his family looking at him, he lowered his head and mumbled in embarrassment.

"That mother-in-law is difficult to deal with..." Mei Shitou said calmly.

"Then...your name is 'Twee', how did you fall into the hands of the water bandits?"

Mrs. Mei now almost understood the cause and effect of the matter, so she asked Cui'er.

"The boat my family was traveling on was targeted by water bandits. They boarded the boat and robbed all their belongings. The men and children were knocked unconscious and thrown off the boat, and the women were taken away. The original boat was also chipped..."

When she talked about this, Cui'er's eyes were filled with hatred.

"I originally jumped into the river to escape, but I was caught as soon as I landed. Fortunately, they thought I was ugly, so they didn't waste or sell me, so they kept me to work.

In the past few days, they found out that there were many ships passing by on the canal, and there were quite a few people like Chun Niang going out. They didn't have enough manpower, so they called me to do these things. "

Cui'er told the story exactly, and Mei Qian frowned, thinking of the corpses her family had seen on the river in the past few days. She thought it was because of the heavy rain, but now it seems that there is something wrong with the water bandits.

"Like now, will there be water bandits seeking revenge on us? If we keep rowing on the He Canal, can they catch up with us?"

Mrs. Mei was very concerned about this issue. In addition, Mei Qian had previously incited people to do such terrible things, so she was afraid that a bad person would anger the water bandits and let them come to seek revenge.

Cui'er was also in a dilemma, and she wasn't sure about this.

"I only heard that hundreds of miles up and down the canal are within their scope." Cui'er told everything she knew. "According to the speed of the ship, maybe everything will be fine tomorrow."

"These hundred miles... are all water bandits from this family?" Li Baizhou frowned when he heard this, "With such a large area, the water bandits are quite powerful, aren't they?"

Cui'er nodded first, and then shook her head. She was also captured not long ago, and the information she could know was not as much as Mei Qian imagined.

"I heard from Chun Niang that it is very big. It is said that there are hundreds of water bandits."

"How is that possible?" Li Baizhou denied it. Hearing his tone, Mei Qian couldn't help but look at him one more time. Then she heard Li Baizhou say, "Here in the canal, there are usually officers and soldiers patrolling to protect the people going north and south. ship.

With a population of several hundred people, such an existence goal is not small, and the food on weekdays is also huge. If we want to satisfy the appetite of these people, robbing ships traveling in the canal will be discovered and reported long ago. If so many people gather to cause chaos in a short period of time, It doesn't look like it either. "

After Li Baizhou said so much, he obviously didn't believe Cui'er's words, but Cui'er didn't seem to be lying. Even if Li Baizhou said this, Cui'er only said: "I heard Chun Niang say it before when she was drinking and having fun with those water bandits. .

They say that they have a large number of people and are taking advantage of this Northern Disaster to make a fortune..."

Cui'er said with red eyes, there were so many people on their boat, but now she was the only one left.

"These water bandits who kill a thousand people!"

I heard that they were just targeting these ships that were fleeing south. Anyone who heard this kind of evil and evil thing would die if he didn't hear it.

After Mrs. Han finished scolding, Mrs. Mei scolded her.

But what Tweety said still didn't dispel Li Baizhou's suspicion. It wasn't that he doubted Tweety's origins, it was just that it was unbelievable that so many water bandits had no news at all...
