Chapter 710 Chaos on the Passenger Ship
Every day, the two of them no longer went to the kitchen to buy food.
I used the small pot for boiling medicine and cooked my own food in my single room.
Although the food is a bit monotonous, at least it can ensure that the two of them can always be together.
Mainly because the old man had been kidnapped, Lu Qingqing was worried about the old man going out alone.
At this moment, the two of them were standing behind the door listening for any movement.
The two guards outside saw so many people and were about to shout when they were scolded by those holding sticks:
"We're here to discuss something with the captain, not with you guys. Don't make trouble for yourself!"
After hearing this, the two men hesitated.
Seeing this group of people holding sticks and walking around them, he felt a little relieved, but still looked at them warily.
They believed some of what these people said, but not all of it.
He watched them walk to the house at the bow.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that they were really looking for the bow of the ship.
Lu Qingqing listened to them walk in and opened the door to look outside.
Then I saw the group of men holding sticks trying to kick the door at the bow of the ship.
But before they could kick the door, the captain came out with a few men holding knives.
These days, the ship is becoming more and more chaotic, even the kitchen has been robbed.
Compared with other gangs and factions, they have only about twenty people, but they have the most food.
It is only a matter of time before someone targets you.
The captain had expected this day to come, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
At this moment, he said with a cold face:
"I know you have more people, and if a fight breaks out, it's unlikely we'll be able to defeat you.
But don't forget, this ship is only steered by us brothers.
If you really dare to injure us, no one on this ship will be able to move forward."
The person on the other side was obviously also concerned about this.
But they were really hungry, so they said:
"We are not greedy. Just give us half of the food you have!"
When the captain heard this, his face turned grim.
These people are so greedy that they ask for half of the meal right away, and they are not afraid of eating too much to death!
Especially now that the world is in chaos, food is equivalent to gold.
Even better than gold, food is life-saving.
He would definitely not be willing to give away so much.
But at this moment, half of his brothers were driving the boat.
The remaining brothers cannot protect the food in the house.
Looking at the people not far away looking at this place, the bow raised his voice and said:
“You want half of the food with empty words.
You know, the food I left behind is not all for us to eat.
These are the foods sold at the kitchen every day.
If you take half, what will the rest of the people on the boat eat?"
He said this obviously in an attempt to pull the other people on the boat into his camp.
These words indeed aroused the thoughts of many people.
But the group of people on the opposite side of the bow were so numerous and powerful and so ruthless that no one dared to respond for a while.
The man opposite was not stupid either. After hearing this, he looked around vigilantly.
Seeing no one responded, he smiled and said:
"Captain, please stop playing tricks.
We brothers just want to survive.
As long as you give us food, we will all be safe and sound."
Seeing this, the captain secretly hated it, but still said:
“There is not much food left on the ship now.
Before, the kitchen was shown to everyone.
Even if I took it all out, it would only be enough for the people on the boat to have one or two meals.
By the time they finish eating, everyone will starve to death.
In my opinion, it’s better to get off the boat early.
I am familiar with this river. We will pass through a deep water area this afternoon.
You can dock over there.
At this time of year, as long as you go ashore and eat grass, you won’t starve to death.
What? Isn’t it better than fighting to the death on the boat?
What do you think? "
The people opposite looked at each other, undecided.
The leading man was not fooled by him and sneered:
"Captain, we brothers are not stupid.
The situation on shore now may be even worse than on the boat.
Even if we can only have one full meal on the boat, we will be well fed!"
When the captain heard what he said, he knew there was no room for maneuver.
He called a few brothers, ran back quickly, closed the door, and shouted outside:
"If anyone comes to help me and can drive away these people, I will give them two steamed buns!
You must know that if we, the boat drivers, die, there will be no one to take you south.
The situation on the shore is not peaceful now!"
The men opposite didn't expect him to run back, so they immediately stepped forward and kicked the door.
Lu Qingqing had already thought of this when these people first approached the bow door.
Seeing that the door was kicked to the point of being shaky, he frowned and said to the old man Zhuang behind him:
"After I leave, lock the door and hide in the house and don't come out!"
After saying that, she took the arrow, put the bowstring on it, pulled the bowstring and shot at the person in front.
With a short sound of an arrow, the arrow grazed the ear of the leading man in front and shot straight into the door.
The man touched his burning ear, feeling both shocked and frightened.
When I turned around, I saw a thin boy holding a strange bow and arrow.
He was shocked and angry and said:
"Who are you to meddle in other people's business?"
Lu Qingqing raised the compound bow in her hand and said coldly:
"I need to get to Pengcheng County as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to stop this ship will be killed!"
The leading man was not afraid of the thin boy, but he was afraid of the bow and arrow in his hand.
After hearing this, I didn't know what to do for a moment.
If he commanded his men to attack, he would have seen the penetrating power of the arrows.
But if we retreat in disgrace, then bringing people here this time would be in vain.
Not only that, the people who followed him would no longer trust him.
By then, he would be alone on the ship and it would be difficult for him to survive.
After quickly going over the consequences in his mind, the leading man said loudly:
“He was just one man, armed with only a bow and arrow.
There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of him!
Go ahead, kill this guy first, then come back and grab the food!
By then, everyone will be able to eat white flour steamed buns."
The words "white flour steamed buns" made these men, who had been hungry for a long time, drool.
They rushed forward, weapons raised and shouting.
As soon as the man said this, Lu Qingqing grabbed the railing next to her and climbed onto the roof in a few seconds.
After gaining the geographical advantage, the first arrow was shot at the leading man who was shouting.
However, this time it wasn't a warning, but a direct shot through the chest.
Immediately afterwards, the second arrow was shot at the person running in front.
The compound bow was very fast, and in just a few minutes, six or seven people had fallen.
Without the leader's instigation, the remaining people began to retreat as they looked at their killed companions.
