Chapter 115: Chase all the way
Ghost Cry and his party hurried to the side of the boat, and then they were stopped by Steward Zhang. Steward Zhang looked at the ghost crying and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, if I offend them, there will be no one to help us pull the boat." If it's just a family, even if you don't need a boat, we'll help you. However, it is not our family's ship. ”
"How can you do this!" Cai Wei looked stunned, and then, she looked at Steward Zhang with a wry smile on her face, sighed, and knew that she was embarrassed. If you and the ghost cry on the boat, the other party can confiscate a penny, even if it is because of deliberate friendship, this friendship also exists.
Now that this thing has happened, although there is something wrong with the other party, it is not to blame them.
The ghost cried and patted Cai Wei's shoulder, and even now, he would not embarrass the other party, and said, "Where is our luggage?"
Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to one side: "It's all here." ”
The ghost cried, "Do me a favor at the end." ”
Steward Zhang smiled wryly: "Please don't embarrass us." ”
"It's not embarrassing. The ghost cried and said, "I want to exchange some money." ”
As he spoke, he opened the box, and strings of copper coins appeared in front of Steward Zhang: "I want to exchange them for silver or gold." ”
Steward Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, but now the situation is urgent, it's too late to count it, we can only weigh it with a scale, I'm afraid you will suffer." ”
The ghost cried, "It doesn't matter. ”
The two strong men took out all the money and weighed it. Steward Zhang took the abacus and calculated: "It's a total of 10 taels of silver, and the guest has no objection, right?" ”
"Well, that's all. ”
Without the drag of copper coins, two large boxes of luggage turned into one large box, and the weight was only about 100 catties. For the big dark horse, it's easy.
The ghost cried and arched his hand: "I accepted Zhang Shanren's affection." ”
Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your guest has a good ability, and you will be able to get away, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
After speaking, he said in a low voice: "Twenty miles west from here, there is a small boat, and there are also water charts, bows and arrows, and some dry food, which should be able to help somewhat." ”
Ghost Cry took a deep look at Steward Zhang, turned around and turned over on the horse, stretched out her hand, Cai Wei blushed a little, grabbed Ghost Cry's hand, also got on the horse, and hugged Ghost Cry tightly behind.
There were two people sitting on top of a horse, and a box was hanging, which looked a little bloated. It is also a loss that the big dark horse is a war horse in the north of the Central Plains, with a tall skeleton. If you change to an ordinary horse, you can carry it on your back, and it is a problem whether you can run fast or not.
"Let's go!"
The big black horse neighed and chased the sunset.
Wen Long carried a bow on his back and a knife on his shoulder, and hurried to the dock with people. One person greeted him and said, "Brother Wenlong." ”
After Wen Long threw him a knife, he asked, "What about the despicable outsiders?"
The man took the knife and pointed to the west: "I ran west along the river, and I was chasing as fast as I ran." ”
"Sure enough, I was hit by the second child, the fourth. Wen Long said to a sturdy young man wearing a soap suit and holding a steel fork behind him: "I took my brother to chase on the shore on horseback, and you took other brothers to chase in a boat." ”
The fourth said: "Okay!"
After that, Wen Long, Lao Liu, and the other five officials turned over their horses and chased west along the river.
The fourth shouted: "Follow me." ”
With that, he rushed towards the small boat at the pier. Patches of water splashed, and in a short time, more than a dozen small boats left the dock and headed westward like arrows.
However, there were still people who couldn't get on the boat, Wenshu Mountain was dragged by Wen Hu and Xiao Jiu left and right, and his beard was angry, and he couldn't help but scold: "Second Xiaojiu, do you two want to rebel?"
Wen Hu and Xiao Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time, and Xiao Jiu shouted: "Father, you are too old to withstand the toss, let your brothers do these things!"
Wen Hu also comforted: "Father, you have to believe the brothers! Don't you often say that the eldest brother is much more powerful than when he was young!"
"Holy shit!" Manjusri muttered unwillingly, and could only watch as the boats quickly disappeared into the sunset.
20 miles, even if the big black horse carried a weight of 400 catties, it only took a quarter of an hour. And at this moment, the sun in the west is only a top left. The clouds in the sky were red, like fire.
Sure enough, they found a small fishing boat and put it on the beach. There was no shelter around the small fishing boat, it was so bare and very simple.
Ghost Cry and Cai Wei turned over and dismounted, and Ghost cried, "You guys get on the boat first." ”
Cai Wei and the big black horse hurriedly stepped on the water and jumped on the boat. Devil Cry took off his boots, threw them on the small fishing boat, and ran into the water. Step on the water and push the boat hard to push the boat off the beach. When the boat floated, he climbed onto the boat, held the bamboo pole, and quickly got the boat moving.
On the other end, Wen Long and his party of seven horsemen met a fast runner. I couldn't run anymore when I ran so fast, leaning against the tree with my hands on my knees, panting.
"What about them?" Wenlong asked.
Running fast and with difficulty, he raised his head and pointed to the shallows in the distance and said, "They found a fishing boat there and carried it west." ”
"Well done. After Wen Long finished speaking, he threw out a piece of broken silver into his arms, and said, "You go to the beach, and when my brothers come, you will let me know." ”
As he spoke, he rode away with his brother's servant. The dust was raised, and he ran fast and didn't care about the dust coming to his face, touched the broken silver in his hand and smiled a mouthful of rotten teeth, and then limped towards the shallows.
"Big brother ghost, look!" Cai Wei, who was sitting on the boat, suddenly pointed behind and shouted, "Someone." ”
Ghost Cry looked back and looked closely, only to see a group of seven horsemen riding horses and whips on the shore and chasing towards this side of the coast.
Ghost Cry handed the bamboo pole in his hand to Cai Wei: "You come to support the boat." ”
"Hmm. Cai Wei grabbed the bamboo pole, and although she didn't know much, she gritted her teeth and stood at the stern of the boat.
Ghost Cry quickly tied one end of the rope to the bow of the boat, and handed the other end to the big black horse, saying, "Please, go along the north shore." ”
In this section of the river, the ground in the middle is raised, so this section of the river is divided into two from this end and joins at the other end.
The section, which is divided into two, is divided into north and south ends. The river at the northern end is wide and deep, and monsters are rampant in the water. In the southern section, the river is narrow and shallow, and it is much safer, but the big ships are sad.
Now, where the ghosts weep and they are, it is close to the shallowest place, and the width of the river here is only more than 20 zhang.
For the river, which is often hundreds of zhang wide or even several miles, this place is shallow like this, and narrow like this, which is simply a shame for the river, and it is not worthy of being called a river.
Therefore, even if the boat sailed on the north shore, it still did not get out of the range of the bow and arrow. However, it has also given Devil Cry time to prepare to dodge the arrows.
The big black horse jumped into the water and swam to the north shore with the boat in tow, only a foot or two from the shore. It was very shallow, barely past the knees of the big black horse, which bit the rope and dragged the boat forward as fast as it could, splashing one huge splash after another.
Cai Wei struggled to support the boat, with the big black horse leading in front, she didn't have to worry about the direction of the ship, she just had to keep holding the boat to let the boat move forward and reduce the burden of the big black horse.
The devil weeps, and quickly strings the bow on the ship, carries a quiver full of arrows around his waist, adjusts his position, and finally puts on the iron wrench that is placed with the bow.
Big Mouth wrapped around Ghost Cry's feet, and Ghost Cry was stunned and lowered his head to look at Big Mouth. "You want to help too?"
Big Mouth nodded hurriedly, the ghost cried and thought for a while, and finally had an idea, and grabbed Big Mouth: "Come, you come and help me hand the arrows." ”
After all these preparations, Ghost Cry took a deep breath: "Wait a while, listen to my orders." ”
After speaking, he said to Big Mouth: "Big Mouth, hand the arrow." ”
The big mouth pulled out an arrow, and Ghost Cry reached out and took it, and put it on the bow. And at this moment, Big Mouth pulled out another arrow, waiting for Devil Cry to take it away.
