Chapter 35: can cross the river

Chapter 35 Can cross the river

Li Rou saw that Zhang Liang had woken up, and she shed tears again.

"Sister, you are awake. We are on our way to Yunshui City, but all the food that our family gave us has been taken away..." Li Rou told Zhang Liang what happened with a choked voice.

Zhang Liang propped himself up weakly, looked at the victims and prisoners who had not dispersed not far away, and coughed violently again.

"Master, how are you doing, Mr. Don't scare me."

"Cough, cough..." Zhang Liang coughed for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted Rou Niang comfortingly, "Don't, don't worry, I'm fine, help me up quickly, we must thank our benefactor well."

Rou Niang nodded with sobs, helped him up and knelt down in front of Su Ying and the others.

"Thank you benefactor for saving your life, Zhang will never forget it."

Su Ying didn't expect Zhang Liang to wake up so quickly, "Okay, get up."

"Thank you benefactor."

"Rou Niang, what are your plans now? Do you still go to Yunshui City? But when we came, the gate of Yunshui City was closed, can you get in?" Zhang Cuiniang asked concerned.

Zhang Liang frowned. Just now, Li Rou had told him everything about his coma. There were too many disaster victims outside Yunshui City, and there was a possibility of riots at any time. It is actually not safe to go to Yunshui City now.

"Let's go to Zhuzhou."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "I need a ferry to go to Zhuzhou, do you know where there is a boat?"

Hearing that it was Su Ying's question, Zhang Liang said, "My benefactor doesn't know something. Zhang has also accumulated some savings in this generation of merchants over the years. He bought a merchant ship two years ago. Although it is not big, but There is no problem in crossing the Wujiang River."

Su Yingfeng's eyes lit up, "How many people can your boat hold?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback, "Do the benefactors also want to cross the river?"

Su Ying nodded, "Yes, we are going to Zhuzhou too."

"Then if the benefactor is willing, we can go together."

"That's good, but I have to tell you first, we are all exiled prisoners, you, aren't you afraid?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback again, and quickly shook his head and said: "No matter what the benefactor is, he is the benefactor of Zhang's family. Even if the benefactor wants to take Zhang's life, Zhang will never complain."

Su Ying was delighted when he agreed, "It's much easier to kill you than to cross the Wujiang River."

The veins on Xiao Jin's forehead twitched, and he had never seen anyone speak so frighteningly.

Zhang Liang agreed to take them across the river, but they are now exiled prisoners, they can't leave alone, and they have to discuss this matter with Li Da.

So Su Ying immediately found Li Da.

Li Da saw Su Ying approaching, and watched her take a step back warily.

"What's the matter with Princess Qi?"

Su Ying raised her lips and smiled, making Li Da's back feel chills.

"Good thing, I found a boat to cross the river, but there are not many people on the boat at one time, so I will ask you to see what you think."

Li Da raised his brows when he heard what she said. It's a good thing that he found the ferry.

"It's okay if you can't accommodate too many people at one time. We can go separately. First go through a group, and then go back and bring the rest."

"The boat is not mine, you have to ask the owner of the ferry if he agrees."

"I don't know who the owner of this boat is?"

Su Ying pointed in the direction where Zhang Liang was.

Li Da understood, and ran in the direction of Zhang Liang.

After negotiating, Zhang Liang agreed to lend the ferry boat to Li Da and the others, but the condition was that when he crossed the river with Su Ying and the others, there could be at most a few more officials on board, and no more prisoners.

Li Da readily agreed, and immediately ordered two officials to accompany him with He Suying.

"Boss, we counted the number of people just now, and there are only 117 people left in the team." And they are basically old and weak women and children.

Li Da's face is not very good, but everyone has run away, and their number is limited. In such a disaster year, if you go after him, you may include yourself. Send the roster back to the capital, and let the Ministry of Criminal Affairs trouble you about finding the fugitives."

"yes."

There are still about a dozen guards left in Zhang Liang's team. Although they are all wounded, they are not fatal, and they will not be seriously injured after taking medicine.

"My lord, forgive me, it's because we didn't protect the food well." The head of the guards had followed Zhang Liang for many years, and felt very sad seeing all the food being taken away.

Zhang Liang shook his head with a pale face, "It's good that people are fine. Everything will be fine when you arrive in Zhuzhou. You go and check, and put away everything that can be used. Let's go to the pier immediately."

"yes."

Su Ying also wanted to leave this ghostly place as soon as possible, so he packed up his things with He Shouyi and the others, and prepared to leave.

After tidying up, Su Ying asked Zhang Liang, "Is this far from the pier?"

"It's not far. If we travel fast, we can get there before dark."

"Okay, let's talk when we get to the pier first."

Although all the food in the carriage was taken away by the guards of the Zhang family, they still tried their best to keep a carriage, which happened to allow Zhang Liang's family of three to sit in it.

Su Ying also carried the two treasures into the carriage, then jumped into the carriage and set off towards the pier.

Li Da sorted out the rest of the prisoners and followed them.

Along the way, the closer to the pier, the fewer people there are. Everyone is also afraid that if the dam breaks completely, the pier will be the first to suffer, so they all hide away.

Their footsteps were faster than expected, and they arrived at the pier as soon as the sun went down.

It's just that the pier has been completely submerged by the river at this time. From a distance, it is a muddy river that can't be seen, which makes people feel afraid.

The guards of the Zhang family had already found the hidden ferry. When the waterlogged, the ferry was in short supply and would be robbed if they were not careful, so they hid the ferry early to avoid falling into others. hand.

Soon, the guards drove the ferry out.

Su Ying looked up and found that the ferry was bigger than expected, and it was not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

The guard put down a few thick templates, and directly pulled the carriage up.

Li Da looked at such a big ferry, and actually wanted Zhang Liang to let all the prisoners get on it together, but thinking about it, his food and grass had been robbed, so it would be nice if he could kindly take them for a ride, so he didn't dare to do anything else Require.

"You stay here first, and someone will come back to pick you up later." Li Da explained to the official who stayed behind.

"I know the boss."

Su Ying also pulled the carriage onto the boat.

Arrived on the boat, looking at the vast river water, Mother Zhao and the others felt a little dizzy, so Su Ying asked them to go to the cabin to rest first.

After setting everyone up, Su Ying was about to follow into the cabin when she saw Li Rou walking towards her.

"Benefactor, the little woman has something to ask her benefactor."
