Adoption brings disaster

Before I even entered the underworld, the underworld had already given me a slap in the face. I was caught off guard, covered in bruises, and wailing in pain.

You asked how Jianghu slapped me in the face. It turned out to be seasickness.

I never dreamed that I would get seasick. The boat would have to sail on the river for at least ten days at the fastest, but as soon as it left the port, I felt so nauseous and wanted to vomit.

As expected, I vomited not long after the boat sailed out, and the vomit was everywhere. Fortunately, I brought Qianxi with me, otherwise, with these rough guys on the boat, I would have been unable to clean up the mess in a short time.

At that time, I didn’t feel seasick. I thought I had caught a cold last night and had a stomachache.

Seeing that I was upset and hearing what I said, Qian tidied up the room briefly and hurried to find the captain.

After hearing this, the captain was very nervous. Soon he made me a bowl of folk remedy for my cold stomach and brought it to my room.

After I took this bowl of medicine, I felt something in my stomach and started vomiting again. This time, it was even more severe. First, it was the medicine I drank, then the stomach acid. Finally, there was nothing left to vomit and I could only lean against the window and dry heave.

The captain could tell at a glance that I was seasick, and he hurriedly got me a bowl of folk remedy for seasickness and fed it to me.

This folk remedy was actually the right medicine for my condition. I stopped vomiting after taking it, but I still felt nauseous and had no energy. Plus, I didn't sleep well last night, so I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already night. I had vomited everything in my stomach. A few hours passed and my stomach was still rumbling in protest.

Qianxi was the most considerate. Knowing that I wanted to eat when I woke up, she set up a small stove in the room early and cooked half a pot of porridge for me. When she saw me wake up, she hurriedly brought the porridge to me.

After I ate the white porridge that Qianxi brought me, I started to feel nauseous again. I don’t know if it was because of the medicine or because I had adapted to it, but I just felt nauseous but didn’t vomit.

Seeing my face pale from vomiting due to seasickness, Liu Shui said with great concern, "I've heard fishermen say that seasickness is caused by drowning in the river in a previous life. If you go on the deck of the boat and pray to the river god for protection, you won't get seasick anymore."

Under normal circumstances, I would naturally scoff at such weird and superstitious nonsense.

But I was vomiting so much that I wanted to die. How could I care whether what he said was right or not? I could only try my best and let Liushui and the other man help me onto the deck.

When I arrived at the deck, the captain and the escorts had already prepared all the necessary things for offering sacrifices to the river god. I knelt down and worshiped devoutly, praying in my heart that if there really was a river god, he would stop me from getting seasick.

Maybe it was too late and the river god was sleeping. It was useless anyway, and there was no place to grab on the boat board. The shaking made me even more dizzy. I didn't vomit at first, but now I was lying on the edge of the boat, vomiting miserably.

After vomiting, I had no strength left in my body and could only lie there like a dead dog. Fortunately, Qianxi was attentive and noticed that something was wrong with me, so she helped me up.

Seeing that worshiping the river god was useless, the escorts began to speculate on the reason.

"Maybe the poisonous anaconda on the boss's waist has angered the river god, so he doesn't protect the boss."

"No way."

"Of course not. Snakes are river spirits. The materials used for the poisonous anaconda must have come from the River God's relatives, or at least from his good friends."

.....................

The more these escorts talked, the more outrageous it became. But I had no choice but to take off the poisonous anaconda from my waist and bowed devoutly.

It’s strange that I don’t feel nauseous once the anaconda is taken away, but as soon as I touch it, I will vomit immediately.

But I was very seasick. Although I felt much better now that the anaconda was away, I still had no strength.

Later I thought about it carefully and decided that it wasn’t because of the river god.

This anaconda is poisonous, which is naturally nothing to worry about on a normal day, but the poison neutralizes the properties of the seasickness medicine. Without the anaconda, the seasickness medicine will take effect and you will naturally not get seasick. However, this is all speculation and cannot be relied upon.

I felt so uncomfortable that I could only lie in the room for several days. I had a bowl of porridge and a dose of seasickness medicine in the morning, noon and evening. I would sleep after taking it, and then eat again after sleeping. My body felt weak and even softer.

Qianxi and the others were having a lot of fun. They were already very skilled in lightness skills, so they felt nothing about the shaking of the boat.

These days they followed the escort to catch fish and hunt birds. These were things they couldn't do on weekdays, so they were naturally very happy.

That is, they would only remember me when it was time to eat. When they brought me food, they would greet me insincerely and then go off to play happily with the crew members.

After another day or two, the boat finally entered a tributary. The destination was in the middle of the tributary and would take a day or two at most to reach.

This torture was finally over, and I was naturally happy in my heart, but my body was really uncomfortable, so I could only lie on the bed like a dead body, just hoping that I could come quickly.

It was almost time to arrive, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.

That very night, because there was a section of water in front of the tributary with complicated conditions, there was a risk of accidents if they continued at night, so the ship stopped in front of a reed marsh and would not set off until dawn the next day.

In the middle of the night, screams of killing were heard everywhere in the reed marshes, and countless small boats rushed towards the big ship. The big ship was heavy and could not get up for a while, so it could only watch helplessly as it was surrounded by small boats.

I was in the room listening to the noises outside, feeling extremely angry, but helpless. I could only hatefully think that once we got ashore, I would make these pirates pay a heavy price.

The captain was furious, but because I was on board, he was afraid of getting hurt, so he held his temper and said, "Don't you recognize the markings on the hull? How dare you cause trouble for our Baofu Escort Agency? You must be desperate."

The leader was naturally afraid of the escort agency, but because there was something on the ship that he was determined to get, he definitely could not retreat like this.

The leader bowed and said, "We don't want to have any grudges against your escort agency. As long as you hand over the Four Sacred Fruits, we will naturally leave. Once I absorb the Four Sacred Fruits and my power doubles, I will go to the capital to kowtow and apologize to your boss."

"Not to mention that there are no Four Sacred Fruits on this ship. Even if there were, there has never been a precedent of our escort company's escorts being robbed. This money is for treating you heroes to tea. Please go back, otherwise the sword in my hand will not recognize anyone." The captain threw down fifty taels of silver and threatened.

Just as the silver was about to fall onto the boat, the bandit leader picked up the bag, causing the silver to fly back, and said viciously, "If you don't leave the Four Sacred Fruits today, then don't leave, and leave your lives behind."

After saying that, he called the pirates to attack.

There was a loud fight outside. I wanted to help, but I had no strength left.

Now I can only continue to think resentfully. Once I get ashore, I will definitely find out who is so bold as to touch the escort agency.

As long as we find out who is coming, we must gather all the people and kill them all, so that everyone will know that the escort agency is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied.

But these are all I can think about. The fighting has already started outside. In my current situation, if the pirates get in, I'm afraid I'll lose my life. How can I gather people to get back at them?

Fortunately, the escorts and crew members on the ship were all skilled, and the pirates could not do anything to them for a while.

However, the pirates were numerous and powerful, and no one knew what benefits the bandit leader had given to them.

This group of people were fearless and came on board in batches to deliver the goods. The crew members were not careful and they actually let a few of them in. This opening was a problem, as pirates kept sneaking into the warehouse.

"This is the captain's room. Such good things must be hidden in it. Kick the door quickly and get this amazing wealth." A small pirate leader said excitedly.

These guys weren't very good at martial arts, but they were quite strong and they kicked the door open in just a few moves.

The man was shocked when he saw someone in the room, then he said to the people behind him, "Kill him, take the things and leave. The escorts from Baofu Escort Agency are too powerful. Brothers can't hold them off for long."

One person went to get the bag that Li Er had prepared for me, and the rest rushed up to kill me.

But the martial arts skills of this group of people were too poor. Even in my current condition, I was able to take care of them all in just a few moves.

I looked at the bandits coming here one after another. I originally wanted to pick up the anaconda to teach them a lesson, but I didn't expect the anaconda to teach me a lesson first. I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit before I even touched the anaconda. I could only pick up a knife and retreat while fighting.

They fought all the way to the deck, where they saw the escort on board confronting several people.

"You all are truly skilled in martial arts. If it weren't for these minions that consumed so much of your true energy, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to defeat you today. I still say the same thing, give me the things and I'll leave immediately."

The leader of the escort team wanted to say something when he saw me walking out weakly with a knife in hand. He looked at me nervously and was about to fly to my side to protect me.

However, these pirates are not fools. Seeing the situation, they know how important I am. How could they let the escort get to me so easily?

The leader of the pirates wanted to capture me and force the escorts to surrender. Without saying much, he attacked me with a big knife. The other pirate leaders stopped the escorts and prevented them from rescuing me.

I had no choice but to fight with the bandit leader.

The more I fought with him, the more aggrieved I felt. This bandit leader's martial arts skills were far inferior to those of the Taoist priest, let alone Ah Da. Today, I was really like a tiger in the open air being bullied by a dog, and I was actually suppressed by such a person.

I knew I was no match for my opponent if I continued fighting like this, so I deliberately exposed a flaw. The man fell for it and jumped up to kick me. I raised my knife to block, but he kicked me hard in the chest and sent me flying.

I also took advantage of the fact that he was in the air and his energy was not flowing smoothly, and threw the knife in my hand out, but I was very dizzy at the time, and my aim was a little off, so I didn't kill him with that one blow.

But there was a huge cut on his arm, blood was gushing out, and he kicked me into the river.

The kick was very painful for me, but that was not the worst part. The worst thing was that I couldn't swim.

When the escorts saw that I was knocked into the river and my life was in danger, they were terrified and had no other thoughts. They just wanted to quickly repel the attackers and rescue me.

Therefore, the escorts became ruthless and only attacked without defending. The escorts' desperate fighting style forced the bandits to retreat step by step.

The bandit leader saw that he had no strength to fight anymore and his men were also afraid. How could they fight anymore? They could only flee in disgrace.

As soon as the bandits retreated, they ignored their injuries and jumped into the river to save me.

When they pulled me out of the water, my stomach was full of water and I was unconscious.

Everyone was so frightened that they were out of their wits. Some held their stomachs and slapped their faces. Some even knelt by the river and kowtowed to the gods and Buddhas. Finally, I came back to life.

I was confused for a moment. Looking at the injuries on everyone's body, I was furious, but my body was weak, so I could only say weakly: "Send a signal and ask everyone around to come. Within five days, we must destroy them and let everyone in the martial arts world know what will happen if they rob our Baofu Escort Agency."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Someone has followed them. No one can escape." The escort leader said viciously.

This group of bodyguards can be said to be invincible when it comes to tracking, hiding and killing, but their numbers are too small. It is easy to destroy the bandits' lair, but it is still difficult to kill all of these bandits who number hundreds of people.

I understood, my eyes sharpened, and I said, "Don't alert the enemy. Gather more people and surround them. Don't let any of them go."

The escort leader was startled by my murderous look. After a moment, he quickly said, "I understand. Not a single one will escape."

The escorts and crew members took a short rest, then worked hard for half the night until dawn to clean up the bloodstains and corpses on the boat. But these had nothing to do with me, so I returned to my room early to exercise and heal my injuries.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen on the way, the escorts worked hard and arrived at the dock by dusk. The escorts loaded the darts on the ship into trucks under cover of darkness and rushed them to their employers without stopping.

After everything was done, the escorts on the ship did not rest, and only one was left to lead us to the inn in the town.

Others were like fish, quietly moving towards the bandits' lair from the water, or like birds, hiding in the woods beside the bandits' lair under the cover of night, using a few reed leaves as a cushion and leaving only a fleeting shadow.

These pirates have their own escort agency to deal with them, so I don’t need to worry about them. Besides, after I got down to earth, I felt like I was alive again.

Before, I drank white porridge every day on the boat. There was no oil or water in my stomach, and no taste in my mouth. It was so uncomfortable.

After getting off the boat, I took Liushui Qianxi and the escort who led us straight to the best restaurant in town. After a hearty meal, I slowly walked towards the inn, had a good sleep, and started my journey in the world of martial arts.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
