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

Chapter 48 Escape
"What did you say?"

"nothing."

At this time, Li Baizhou didn't hear Mei Qian's muttering.

He ducked down and let Mei Qian follow. The two of them sneaked in the darkness and jumped from a bamboo raft onto the boat next door.

"You guys, fuck us well..."

A water bandit who was trying to find a way to climb onto the boat saw two figures boarding their boat out of the corner of his eye. Before he could ask, two unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared.

Before he and the brothers around him could react, they were killed by Mei Qian and Li Baizhou.

"They have crossbows on their belts."

Mei Qian's eyes were used to seeing good things. She had already touched the weapon on someone's waist before she could fully swallow the popularity after killing someone.

Li Baizhou wanted to ask Mei Qian if she was injured, but Mei Qian had already knelt down and handed him a crossbow arrow from one of the corpses that had not yet cooled down: "Here, is this the crossbow arrow that was used to sneak attack on our ship just now?"

"Um...this?"

Taking over the crossbow, Li Baizhou immediately discovered something in the moonlight.

"how?"

Mei Qian asked when she saw his expression suddenly serious.

"This is an official system..."

He stopped talking mid-sentence. Mei Qian heard a dark light flash in her eyes, and she immediately said: "It is important to deal with these people quickly."

Mei Qian and the others are definitely not as important as the big ship.

There were only about ten people in their small boat. Mei Erhu and the others repeatedly knocked them into the water at the bow, Han slashed and swept them away at the stern, and the rest were dealt with by Mei Qian and the others by touching the stern.

However, when Mei Qian and the others climbed onto the boat again, they were almost knocked down by Han with a reed. Unfortunately, Mei Qian shouted in time:
"Auntie, we, we! Don't do anything!"

"Ah, why are you two..."

Han took a closer look and came up to lend a hand to pull Mei Qian and the others up. He also saw that Mei Qian was holding a rope in her hand. As soon as she asked, Mei Qian said: "I saw that their bamboo rafts are good, so I pulled one and put things in it later." .”

As soon as Mei Qian tied the rope, Li Baizhou took his sword and chopped it into pieces. Before Mei Qian could glare at him, he immediately explained: "Don't keep it, so as not to be recognized later."

After listening to Li Baizhou's words, Mei Qian immediately felt how her mother felt when she was worried about talking to her mother.

This is the truth, but it sounds really unlucky.

Li Baizhou was worried that they would encounter similar things again in the future. If he was recognized by holding the opponent's "equipment" at this time, it would probably be a new round of revenge!

Although this is something that none of them hope to encounter, they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Mei Qian felt regretful about this but couldn't say anything else.

There was nothing at the stern of the ship, so Mei Qian went to the bow through the cabin, and happened to see Mrs. Mei and Cui'er working together to push a big man into the water.

"Quick! Fight here!"

Cui'er was still busy pulling Mei Shitou to hit the man with precision. Mei Shitou heard this and followed the direction Cui'er pointed and immediately hit the man on the head with a stick.

After that, no one came up from the bow of the boat. Shitou then stretched out his head to take a look and saw that there was only a bamboo raft left on the bow of the boat and no other people. He was relieved.

Mei Qian and the others confirmed again and again that all the water bandits around their boat had been dealt with. When they hurriedly left this place of trouble, Mei Qian subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the big boat in the middle of the river.

At this moment, the water bandits in the small boat beside the big ship have disappeared. There are still figures running around on the ship from time to time. It seems that there is also a fierce and fierce battle there. "Hurry up, it feels like it's almost over over there."

Mei Qian reminded everyone that Mei Shitou and Mei Erhu also quickly rowed away from here.

The wind in the second half of the night was very cool. After the battle just now, if I hadn't been worried that I hadn't run far yet, I would have probably screamed twice to relieve my depression!
"Oh! What bad luck!"

Ms. Han was sitting in the cabin, rubbing her arms with both hands. She had worked hard just now, but now she suddenly relaxed, and her arms ached.

Cui'er saw it and even rubbed it for Han. Han's attitude towards Cui'er also improved a lot, but Han's words were still unpleasant.

"This girl Cui'er is good at everything, but she has a bad face... ah!"

Han squealed and turned around to see her mother-in-law sitting next to her slapping her on the back. With a look of disgust on her face, Han knew that she had said the wrong thing again and made her mother-in-law angry. .

"It's out of the way."

Cui'er saw that because Han opened her mouth, everyone looked at her with nervous expressions, as if they were worried that she would be angry.

She shook her head and said she would not be angry because of it: "Thanks to this ugly face, I have the opportunity to live until now and meet everyone."

After Cui Er was asked by Mei Qian to chop Chun Niang into pieces with a knife, she had already prepared for the worst. The worst she could do was to end up in the wolf's den right after she got out of the fire pit.

But she didn't expect that this place would be much better than she expected.

Cui'er's words made some sensitive people in the family sigh with emotion, but this did not include Han. She nodded repeatedly after hearing this. If she hadn't been beaten by her mother-in-law just now, she would have spoken again now.

"Eat some fruit~"

Mei Qian took out the fruits she picked during the day and shared them with everyone. Nothing could be better than a mouthful of sweet and sour fruits.

The tension caused by the battle with the water bandits was also dispelled by the sweetness, and the unique sourness in the fruit sobered up the head that had become groggy with the night.

They can't sleep at home tonight. They have to wait until dawn before they can sleep one after another.

"I don't know what will happen to that big ship in the end."

After eating the wild fruits, everyone sat there and couldn't help but think about the big ship that was robbed tonight.

That ship was the largest that Mei Qian and his family had ever seen. It was true that they had seen other big ships when they were on the canal, but there were very few as big as the one just now.

"I'm afraid it contains a lot of good stuff."

After Han finished speaking, Mrs. Mei agreed with what she said this time, but she also said: "I'm afraid the people on this boat are not rich people from somewhere, and they have no experience at all.

At this time, using such a big boat to haul belongings, there are not many guards on board, but there are so many maids and women waiting for the servants..."

Mrs. Mei had heard many cries for help from maids and servants earlier, and she understood why the water bandits were targeting the ship.

"It's like a child walking through the market holding a fortune."

Mei Qian also heard what her mother meant. Others would rather form a massive fleet than be as eye-catching as such a giant ship.

It's just that "Come and rob me, I have no experience" was posted on the boat.

"These water bandits are not stupid. If they really encountered that kind of contiguous fleet, they would probably hide away and dare not act."

When Mrs. Mei said this, she had no idea that a scene completely opposite to what she described was happening upstream...

　Mrs. Mei: Only fools are really good at robberies~
　　Water Bandit: Yes, yes!
