sin of nature

They rode their horses all the way to the south, and the nearest exit gate had received the news when they arrived, and they stepped up their investigation. The two had no choice but to rush to Jingshui Pass in the south, traveling day and night, not daring to take the next step.

However, all places are very cautious about the interrogation of people with different pupils. There are too many people passing by land, and the checkpoints are densely packed, so the two had to go by water.

It was a large cargo ship, sailing from where they were to the southernmost city-state of Qingyue.

Kuang Yu hid in the room in the cabin during the day, and only stayed on the deck for a while at night when no one was around.

When someone asked about it, Kuang Wei presumed that he was weak and suffering from wind and cold, so he couldn't resist the wind and sun.

The people in charge of escorting the cargo on the boat were mostly Lianjiazi, relying on the fact that most of the people on the boat were their people, they acted tyrannically and domineeringly, and would find fault in every possible way for anyone who didn't like it.

Fortunately, the two of them spent most of the day in the room, which saved a lot of trouble.

One night, the two of them went to the deck to have a breeze as usual.

The two stayed for about a stick of incense, and then they were going back to the cabin to rest. When they passed a corner on the way, they heard the sound of fighting.

A vicious voice came into the ears of the two, and the words were mixed with unsavory words.

Then there was the muffled sound of fists and feet falling on the person, and the muffled groan of the beaten person.

Kuang Niu glanced at that place, not wanting to get into trouble, so he led Kuang Yu back to the room.

Kuang Yu said that the thugs on the ship were bullying the scholar brother in the next room.

Kuang Bi asked him how he knew this.

Kuang Yu said that there was a hole in the wardrobe in the next room, and he could see the situation in the next room.Although he couldn't see clearly just now, he still recognized the thin figure.

Kuang Bi patted his head to tell him not to peek at others.Then he thought that Xu Shi Kuangyu was too boring to be bored in this small room every day, so he comforted him again, saying that he would be able to disembark in a few days, and when they left Qingyue, the two of them would have no worries.

Kuang Yu nodded obediently.

Although the cargo ship sailed to the southernmost point, it would stop at several ports to unload on the way.

At this time, Kuang Sui was extremely cautious, lest officers and soldiers would board the ship for interrogation.

Fortunately, there were no officers and soldiers to check the five ports in a row, and the remaining three ports had no incidents, and they arrived safely.

Perhaps it was because the wind was too cold at night, Kuang Yuzhen suffered from a cold and coughed non-stop even at night.

In the middle of the night, only the lights in the two-person room of Kuang Bi were still on.

Kuang Yu had already fallen asleep peacefully, but he woke up from his sleep coughing again. The medicine found on the boat did not get better after two days of drinking, so Kuang Bi got up to get the hot water warmed by the stove.

Kuang Yu was about to drink his second cup of hot water when there was a knock on the door.

Kuang Ruo subconsciously went to grab the sword beside the bed.

But a very polite voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, next door is Wu Yuan who lives next door."

Kuang Ruo got up to open the door, holding his sword behind his back.

It was Kuang Yu who mentioned the scholar who lived next door.

Wu Yuan still has unhealed bruises on his jaw, and his figure is indeed very thin, giving the impression that he is powerless.He cupped his hands and bowed to Kuang Bi, and said: "Recently, I have heard your young master coughing profusely. I think it is because of a cold. It is not always easy for children to recover from illnesses. The herbs on the boat may have little effect, but here I am. There are a few medicines for wind and cold, because I often get sick, so I keep them with me at all times, and the effect is also very good, if you don't mind, please accept this medicine."

With that said, he took out a few paper bags.

Kuang Bi glanced at him, hesitating.

Wu Yuan smiled calmly, understanding his scruples in his heart, and said: "Wu Yuan is just a useless scholar with no intention of harming others, and I live next door. If he intends to do harm, he can be caught immediately. Not smart anymore."

What he said was not unreasonable, and Kuang Yu was seriously ill with no sign of improvement, why not try his medicine.

Kuang Bi handed over his hands to express his gratitude, and took the few packets of herbs.

Wu Yuan also instructed: "Three times a day, boil three bowls of water to make one bowl of water. After three doses, it should get better."

Kuang Bi nodded and thanked again.

The medicine was indeed effective, after Kuang Yu took three doses, his cough was obviously less, and his appetite improved a bit.

After recovering, Kuang Yu wanted to go to the deck to have a shower again.

Kuang Bi couldn't bear to be pestered by him, so he had to wrap him up like a rice dumpling and lead him out.

Kuang Yu asked as usual, Daddy, how many days are left before we can get off the boat?

Kuang Bi then replied, there are still seven days.

After getting off the boat, can Dad be with Kuang Yu forever?

Kuang Rui looked at the river surface reflecting the moon, his eyes were squinted by the wind, he raised his hand to touch the top of Kuang Yu's head, and hummed.

Kuang Yu didn't hear the wavering in his father's tone.

The two returned to the room holding hands, and walked to the corridor in front of the door. Two fast-moving figures passed by them. figure.

The one behind is a tall and strong thug, chasing behind without losing a step, with no anxiety on his face, like a well-thought-out hunter chasing an exhausted prey.

Kuang Yu caught a glimpse of the person in front of him being Wu Yuan, the scholar next door.Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but didn't go in, and said to the side - you go back to your room and stay there first, and don't open the door for others, and wait for me to come back.

Kuang Yu nodded and entered the room.

Kuang Bi followed in the direction the two had just left.

He searched around the deck, but he didn't see anyone, so he went down to the living quarters of the cooks, workers and others on board.

It was very stuffy down there, and the light was dim. I don't know what was piled up in the corner, and I couldn't see clearly.

He lifted his foot and accidentally kicked the utensil next to him, and was glared at by the shirtless chef passing by.The air seemed to have stopped moving here, filled with the smell of hot sweat and rotting things.

The door of the room closest to him was ajar, and there was the sound of dice hitting the porcelain cylinder and the enthusiastic buying and selling of big and small.Kuang Yu glanced at the room, and then quickly walked around it. The doors of the connected rooms behind were all closed. of.

Turn around to the last room that is also used for gambling inside the house. It is a dead corner piled with unused stoves and toilet buckets, and it is impossible to see the situation inside.

Kuang Wei stood quietly, but his ears were filled with the shouts of everyone in the next room. He stared at the dark corner for a while, and was about to turn around when he heard Wu Yuan's sob——

He quickly avoided the utensils and sundries that blocked his feet, and walked towards the shelter behind a large old screen, and saw the thug who just passed by him was stepping on his back. superior.The person below was lying on his stomach weakly, seemingly exhausted.

When the thug saw the person coming, he stuffed the things in his hand into his clothes, looked him up and down carefully, and asked him not to meddle in his own business in a not very friendly tone.

Kuang Bi didn't say a word, just looked at each other quietly in the dark.

The man looked a little uncomfortable, and cursed angrily - you are fucking sick.

As soon as the words fell, the dagger in Kuang Nii's hand, which he did not know when and where, slashed across the man's throat——

The man's expression froze for a moment, and before he could say a word, he seemed to be taken away by someone, and he fell lightly to the ground—and fell far away from Wu Yuan on the ground.

Kuang Ruo squatted down, lifted the dying Wu Yuan up, and carried him on his back.

Just as he was about to leave, the man on his back tugged at the hem of his clothes, angrily, he said that his things were still in the man's hands.

Kuang Ruo stretched out one hand to support the man on his back, bent down and touched the chest of the dead man on the ground——as expected, he touched a cool bead.

It was a translucent water-blue bead, about the size of a walnut.

Kuang intends to hand the bead to the person on his back, Wu Yuan takes it, holding it to his heart with a precious and heavy hand.

After Kuang planned to kill the man that day, he threw the man's body into the river in the middle of the night.

Although someone on the boat noticed the disappearance of the man, they didn't know where he went. They thought that at which port he got off the boat privately, but no one knew it.

Wu Yuan was seriously injured that day, and he was recuperating on the bed all the time, and Kuang Bi would help him deliver three meals a day every time.

In two days, they will reach the finish line.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident at the place where it docked the day before.

At noon that day, as soon as the ship docked, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, wanting to check everyone on board one by one.

It turned out that there were a few rich merchants on this boat, and they boarded the boat because they were in a hurry, but they didn't expect that all the money they brought with them was suppressed by the thugs who escorted the cargo. With the pain of flesh and blood, everyone has been complaining about it for the past few days.

It happened that there was a rich man among them, who was very strong-tempered, and he would take revenge. While the ship was docking to unload the cargo, he entrusted a young man to report to the government all the crimes committed by the ship, as well as the route and time of the ship, and asked him to inform him that if he could If these villains are punished, they must be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.I also entrusted my last property to that person—two gold teeth pulled out of his mouth—one to the government and the other to him. Thanks.

The young man lived up to his entrustment and recruited a large number of officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were sent by the city lord of the city where they landed. Firstly, they wanted to cash in the gold ten thousand taels, and secondly, they wanted to embezzle the goods.

Sending officers and soldiers to investigate is just a pretense, taking down all the thugs and taking the opportunity to annex the goods is the ultimate goal.

The city lord of Pianna was very vigilant, and he had to catch all the thugs in order to prevent anyone from escaping and telling the truth.Therefore, when he learned that one person was missing from the wealthy businessman, he ordered the officers and soldiers to search the entire ship, and he was bound to find that person.

Kuang Ni was wearing a sword, sitting at the tea table in the room, drinking tea leisurely, waiting for the officers and soldiers to search here.

Kuang Yu lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

The official has already searched Wu Yuan's room next door, and Kuang Bi whispered to the person on the bed again - no matter what happens, don't open your eyes, just pretend to be asleep.

Kuang Yu didn't open his eyes, and hummed in his throat.

Soon, the official had arrived at the door of the room.

Kuang Wei got up, had a face-to-face meeting with the officer who was searching, and calmly let him search freely as usual.

The official bypassed the tea table, which was clearly visible at a glance, and went straight to the bed in the inner room.

He looked down at Kuang Yu who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Kuang Yu seemed to feel that gaze, although his face remained motionless, his hands hidden under the quilt unconsciously curled up.

Kuang Wei explained casually that the child had contracted a cold a few days ago, and his health is not well yet, so I hope you will forgive me——

The official replied that there was nothing wrong, and then began to check one by one from the wardrobe in the room and other places where people could hide.

The only sound in the room was rustling and the sound of that person searching carefully.

Kuang Bi sat back at the tea table again, did not look at the official, and drank his tea calmly.

After the official inspection, he was not in a hurry to leave, but stood beside the bed and looked at the sleeping Kuang Yu, wondering what he was thinking.

Kuang Yu caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of his eye, and his heart tightened, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and he still pretended to be calm.

The official servant looked at Kuang Yu carefully, as if he wanted to see through him.

The teacup in Kuang Bi's hand was about to be crushed.

The officer looked at it for a long while, and finally said slowly to Kuang——My child is also at this age, and whenever the seasons change, he often catches cold and wind, probably because he is too young and weak. Whenever he encounters this disease, he often takes it with ephedra soup Under the circumstances, the medicine will surely cure the disease in two days, and the child's illness cannot be delayed.

Kuang Wei got up and bowed to him, it was true, he had already taken the medicine two days ago, so he should be fine.

The officer almost nodded, looked at the person on the bed again, took his leave and left.

Kuang Bi got up and closed the door, his palms were full of sweat.
