Chapter 530 Transporting Grain

Looking at the dots of fire ahead, the people on the boat finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming.

"Light all the torches, don't let your guard down if they don't go anywhere!"

"yes."

The torches on both sides of the boat were lit, which looked very dazzling on the dark river.

"They're coming!"

Some sharp-eyed people on the pier saw the sudden light of fire on the river, and their faces were full of excitement.

They're back!

"Get ready. After they dock, they will go up to carry the food. We must carry everything back to the city as quickly as possible!"

"yes!"

Seeing the fire on the river getting closer and closer, everyone was naturally nervous and excited.

The city is about to run out of food completely.

Fortunately, fortunately, they came back.

The surface of the river was calm and calm, but there was an undercurrent surging beneath the surface.

The sound of water gurgled, and there was a surging spray at the stern of the boat.

"Coming."

Seeing the figures at the dock gradually enlarge, everyone on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

No near miss, fortunately.

There is no peace along the way. On the contrary, there will always be many victims who block the road and ask for help.

The better ones just knelt down to beg, and when encountering a crowd, they swarmed up to grab them openly.

As far as Huaiyang, they even encountered water bandits.

If it hadn't been for the help of the general stationed there, they would have sunk into the river with their people and the boat to feed the fish.

I've been away for more than a month and finally came back safely.

Before they could be happy for a long time, they felt the hull of the ship suddenly shake, followed by a violent shaking.

"What's wrong?"

"No, not sure."

"It's like, there's something underwater..."

"Go and see what's down there."

He casually took off a torch, and under the firelight he could only see a few scratches on the side of the ship.

The scratches were very sharp and crisp, spreading from the bottom of the boat upwards, making the soles of your feet feel cold.

"This, what is this?"

The shaking of the ship's hull became more and more obvious, as if something at the bottom of the ship wanted to overturn the entire ship.

Shen Wenchen squinted at the cargo ship not far away. The firelight on the ship was swaying and it looked unstable.

But this tributary should obviously be the smoothest route.

"Why do they look so swaying over there?"

Someone was suspicious and whispered.

It was visually estimated that the ship was still about tens of meters away from the dock. The ship that had been moving forward just now seemed to be restrained by something and could not move at all.

After looking around, Shen Wenchen simply ran forward, then ran on tiptoe in the direction of the cargo ship.

They guessed wrong, those ghosts are not afraid of water!

The people on the boat swallowed their saliva as they looked at the "person" who suddenly jumped onto the boat from the water.

This is a good chance to meet.

Also accompanying the ship was the bodyguard who had sent Shen Miaomiao over. Seeing that something was wrong, the bodyguard leader hurriedly protected the others behind him, preparing to take action at any time.

There were seven "people" on board.

They were soaked to the skin, with cold river water dripping down their foreheads. Against the backdrop of the firelight, their blue-grey faces stood out.

After seeing their strange faces clearly, the people on the boat felt a chill on their backs and their palms were already sweating a little.

Shen Wenchen flew onto the boat and rushed towards the leader with a sword in one hand.

Sensing something was wrong, the thing that had opened its mouth just now and wanted to pounce quickly dodged back. The sword in Shen Wenchen's hand passed through his forehead, and black and sticky blood suddenly flowed down its cheek. As time passed, the fishy smell spread, making people unable to help but cover their noses.

"Be careful not to get bitten by them."

Shen Wenchen said solemnly.

Last time, he was only thinking about dragging Liu Jie back, and did not carefully observe the appearance of these ghosts.

Liu Jie only said that they were born strangely and behaved similarly to those mice.

Now that I saw it face to face, it was really disgusting.

The ghost didn't seem to know the pain. Instead, he raised his hand and wiped the blood from the wound on his fingers, then put it in front of his lips and licked it with a look of enjoyment.

Their teeth were worn into a triangular shape, their tongues became somewhat pointed and long, and their eyeballs were gray, with only an extra vertical line in the pupil position.

"None of you can escape!"

Its voice is hoarse and the tail end is very long, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over after listening to it, with layers of goosebumps covering the whole body.

"Then try it!"

Shen Wenchen sneered, holding a sword in one hand and secretly carrying the other behind his back, and handed over what he was holding.

The escort leader was clever. Although he didn't know what it was, he secretly grabbed it in his hand, and then took the opportunity to secretly distribute it to his brothers.

Seeing his indifferent expression, the thing hesitated.

The city walls and bonfires at the docks are there to protect them, and they all know it.

The torches on the ship are fixed on both sides of the ship, so they will not affect their actions too much.

So what is his confidence?

Seeing his hesitation, a sneer flashed across Shen Wenchen's face.

"I don't believe you would set fire to this ship." After all, if the ship was destroyed, they would not survive if they fell into the water.

It looked suspicious, and then motioned to its companion beside it.

The thing being stared at hesitated for a moment, then pounced on it.

Shen Wenchen first stabbed it with his sword. The thing turned sideways and tried to dodge. Shen Wenchen used the tip of his sword to pick off a piece of the torch.

While the thing was still congratulating itself on dodging a sword, Shen Wenchen threw the small thing in his other hand over.

The moment it hit the sparks, the small dumpling exploded suddenly, and the flames went towards the thing that rushed over, blowing it up.

The sudden appearance of the fire ball scared them back. The one whose face was blown away wailed in pain, covered his face tightly with both hands, and hid behind him.

"you."

The leader's pupils trembled violently, and there was a look of fear on his face.

"Want to come?"

Shen Wenchen tried to lose his posture again, but the figure of the leader trembled, showing obvious fear.

With one glance, they only glanced at Shen Wenchen resentfully, and then jumped off the boat one after another.

Just when the crew thought they had escaped, Shen Wenchen gave the order.

"Put the boat! Go to the dock!"

"yes!"

Only ten meters away from the dock, someone ran out of the cabin in a panic.

"The boat, the bottom of the boat, is seeping!"

He had just gone to the cabin to pack his things, but as soon as he entered, he found that a layer of river water had accumulated in the cabin, and the holes on both sides of the boat were still pouring water in.

Shen Wenchen cursed secretly, and looked at the people who were still waiting on the pier with their necks stretched out, and felt tired.

"Come up quickly! Bring the food!"

Knowing that something was wrong, everyone on the dock didn't care whether the river was cold or not.

Two teams stood on both sides holding torches, while the rest rolled up their sleeves and ran to the boats on both sides of the pier.
