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

Chapter 53 Blocked

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Mrs. Mei shouted, Mei Qian and the others had been chatting enthusiastically just now, but now they all shut up.

"How old are you to bring two little girls to say such things!"

Seeing that Mei Qian and Cui'er immediately shut up, Mrs. Mei turned the gun directly to Han. Han immediately wanted to defend: "Mother... I, that was..."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about in front of two little girls who haven't left the palace yet?"

Old Mrs. Mei didn't care how the conversation started. Considering Han's age, she shouldn't continue on this topic.

At this time, Mei Qian turned around and saw her father and eldest brother standing at the door of the cabin with unknown expressions. Mei Qian immediately poked Cui'er and her uncle with small movements.

The two of them noticed Mei Qian's movements and turned their heads together. They saw that the two people had probably heard some of their conversations about "having children and men", and their faces immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Of course, Mei Qian was not the one whose face turned red with shame.

"Ahem, it's getting late. Let's take a rest."

Mei Qian gently covered her lips with her hands. Everyone in the family was awake in the middle of the night because of a quarrel. If Mei Qian hadn't reminded her, everyone in the family would have been in a bad mood again during the day.

During the day, not only was the weather hot, but also because more and more people were on the canal, everyone's mood became impetuous.

It is less than a hundred miles away from Yuanjiang River. If things go as smoothly as usual, you can enter the river along the canal in less than two days, but now...

"God, why is it so blocked?"

Mei Erhu, who was wearing a bamboo hat and rowing at the bow of the boat, looked at the densely packed boats on the canal and didn't know what to say.

Mei Qian felt that her cerebellum was shrinking every time she took a look at the bow of the ship. She had seen traffic jams on the highway before, but this was the first time she had seen a boat jam on the river.

Their boat was full of boats in front, back, left and right, and it was impossible to see the end of it.

"It gets more and more blocked as we go toward the Yuanjiang River... Could it be that someone blocked the opening of the canal into the Yuanjiang River, right?"

Mrs. Mei looked at a group of motionless boats, large and small, floating on the canal.

"Is there really someone so wicked as to block the mouth of the Yuanjiang River?"

Han murmured something in a low voice, and Jiang turned her head and whispered to stop the other party's complaint.

"Sister-in-law, be careful what you say!"

If the gate connecting the Yuanjiang River and the canal is really closed, it won't be ordinary people. If Han family scolds like this, the whole family may be in trouble.

"Milk, what should I do now?"

During the day, the high temperature on the river is steaming, which already makes people feel unhappy, but now when encountering such a scene, it makes people even more irritable.

Mei Qian looked at Mrs. Mei, who was also very upset.

She had never seen anything like this before, and this was the first time she had seen it.

"Second brother, please go back and ask."

Mrs. Mei calmly told Mei Erhu to go find out, and Mei Erhu immediately agreed.

Mei Qian knew that now was not the time to be anxious. She wanted to find something to do for herself, so she took her net bag to the stern of the boat, wondering if she could catch something.

As soon as she reached the stern of the boat, she saw people on several nearby boats pouring buckets directly into the river. Mei Qian's face instantly turned green.

Ahhhhh! !
This had a greater impact on her than several corpses floating in front of her!
Mei Qian immediately turned to look at the water that their home had fetched a few days ago. Remembering that it was not so crowded a few days ago, Mei Qian felt happy in her heart, but at the same time she became a little worried when she saw that there was only half a bucket of water left.

If this boat is stuck here all the time, what will happen if the water runs out?

Now she doesn’t even want to throw the fishing net into the water!

"What's wrong?" Cui'er saw Mei Qian standing motionless at the stern of the boat. She stepped forward and asked curiously. Mei Qian didn't say anything and pointed to the "Golden Legend" floating in the water, which successfully made Cui'er's His expression also changed, and he also cursed.

"Damn, that's disgusting!"

"Haha, they don't drink water anymore, right?"

Cui'er's face turned pale and blue, Mei Qian said: "If I don't cross the river, I won't wash my face in the next few days."

Tweety:! ! !
"Many small boats here start from nearby."

Cui'er glanced at the small fishing boats nearby, and then looked at the larger boats farther away. The boats were also embroidered with family emblems and flags, and whispered to Mei Qian: "These should all come from the north like us. , I’ve seen that flag before.”

Following Cui'er's words, Mei Qian looked over.

Unfortunately, Mei Qian had also seen that flag.

Chen family.

Mei Qian didn't expect that they would see them here, and the opponent's huge fleet would set off at a very slow speed, which Mei Qian also didn't expect.

"Before my father and I left by boat, the boat on the dock in Mingzhou was right near the boat I was riding on. I saw it very clearly."

"Really? Are you from Mingcheng?"

Mei Qian realized that Cui'er was also from Mingcheng.

But judging from the time of Cui'er's disaster, the departure time should be not earlier than Mei Qian and others in the morning.

Seeing Cui'er nodding, Mei Qian asked in a low voice: "When will the people in Ming City run away after receiving the news from Xirong?"

"No, it's just that my dad...because he is a traveling doctor, he originally planned to go to the south this year..."

Cui'er mentioned that her father's eyes were full of sadness. Upon seeing this, Mei Qian wanted to say a few words of comfort, but then heard Cui'er continue:
"Our family probably left Mingcheng by boat in early May, but my father stayed in a county not far outside Mingcheng for a few more days for medical treatment.

Later, when I saw that the situation was becoming more and more unstable, I quickly relied on my connections and followed the ship south.

As a result, I didn’t expect to encounter that thing not long after we went out... If we had known that there were so many water bandits on the canal, my father and I would not have acted so rashly..."

Cui'er choked up as she spoke. She sniffed and continued:

"However, there were many large merchant ships. When my father and I left, we bought supplies at the dock. At that time, my father also said what happened to these caravans and missed the spring trip south. I just remember now...

Now that I think about it, these people have received the news a long time ago and have already prepared for the southward crossing. "

Cui'er and Mei Qian talked about what she knew. Mei Qian listened quietly. Because she and Cui'er were talking closely, Mei Qian couldn't help but fall on Cui'er's cheek.

This time she saw clearly.

The once hideous and terrifying scars on Tweety's cheeks have indeed faded a lot.

Cui'er didn't notice Mei Qian's gaze and continued: "Sure enough, these wealthy families are always so smart about the news. They have been preparing for the accident since the moment it happened. They are incomparable to those of us who leave in a hurry after realizing it."

"That's true."

Mei Qian thought about it and told Cui'er that she had followed a wealthy family all the way and later decided to go south.

After concealing the fact that they were following the Chen family, Cui'er exclaimed when Mei Qian said it.

"Oh my God, your family is so awesome!"

I heard that Mei Qian's family has really experienced what they have experienced, and they have come this far. Cui Er looked at her with admiration, and at the same time she understood why the Mei family seemed like an ordinary family, but could be so cold-blooded in matters involving human lives. Ruthless and unblinking.

After Mei Qian and Cui'er finished chatting, they were about to enter the cabin when they heard her father suddenly say: "The one in front is really blocked!"

　Ah ah ah, help, I forgot to update regularly yesterday.
