Chapter 82 Victims (2)

The two small boats rowed outside and the big boat approached. At this time, the rain was still quite heavy. However, during this period of rowing dozens of feet apart, everyone's clothes were soaked. However, everyone was immersed in the excitement of being rescued, so they were not very interested.

After the boat approached the big ship, Jiang Yongqi noticed that the boat was about 10 meters long and about 1 meters wide and about 5 feet wide. It was silver-white all over. The bow was cut in shape. There were several large blue characters "Hezhang 2415" written on the side of the bow. The tail was a platform 2 meters long, and the boat was docked on the side of the boat's stern side. In addition to the two boats carrying his own team of people, a boat also sailed from the other end.

At this time, at the rear of the big ship, 7 and 8 people wearing gray and blue floral costumes and single round hats were greeting the boat on the side of the boat, and helped the people on the boat get on the boat. Jiang Yongqi walked through many places while being a bodyguard and saw the world. He knew that some of the new troops of the Qing Dynasty had similar costumes. In addition, on the four corners and on the boat building, there were also people in the same outfit standing with guns, so these people were obviously soldiers.

The people on the boat also went up to the deck one by one. Jiang Yongqi held Wanyun and, under the guidance of the soldiers, went in through a cabin door. At the door, someone handed each person a dry blanket on his body. Although his clothes were soaked, it still warmed a lot after putting on the blanket. He also sent a small wooden sign, saying: "After entering, find a place to sit down first, try to sit inside, and there will be people on the boat behind him. Please take this sign well, don't lose it."

After leaving the cabin, Jiang Yongqi then carefully observed and saw that the cabin was quite large, about 4 meters long. There were long glass windows on the left and right walls, and back-to-back chairs were placed on both sides of the wall. Each chair could sit three people, and there was a table in the middle of the chair, with a walkway in the middle, and two or three rows of people were already seated.

Jiang Yongqi helped Wanyun and came to a chair, let Wanyun sit by the window, and sat next to Wanyun. A tenant from the same village came to sit down next to him. The man was called Dong Jiaqi, but Jiang Yongqi rescued him from the flood. Therefore, he was always very grateful to Jiang Yongqi. When he was split in the attic, he always supported Jiang Yongqi.

After sitting down, Jiang Yongqi felt a little calmer. Then he looked around and saw that almost all the people from the two boats had sat down. The people on the other boat also came up. After receiving the wooden signs of blankets, he also found a seat to sit down one after another.

When we first sat down, someone occupied a whole chair alone, but immediately someone in military uniform came over and drove them forward, and said, "Friends, fill up every chair, don't leave empty spaces. We have to save other victims from behind and leave a space for them."

Dong Jiaqi said: "Jiang Jiaoyuan, this is the boat from there. I don't look like a person from the court."

In fact, Jiang Yongqi had long seen that he was not from the Qing court. Although he had guessed a little in his heart, he did not dare to say anything and said, "I don't know either, but they will probably not have any malice in their continued rescue of us."

At this time, the person sitting opposite Jiang Yongqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay if you get on the boat."

Jiang Yongqi then looked at the three people sitting opposite him. The man beside the window covered the blanket and slept soundly. He could hear a slight sound. The person in the middle was the person who was just talking. He was about 30 years old, wearing glasses, and a fair face. Although he looked haggard and his hairline was scattered, he still showed a bit of a bookish spirit. He was obviously a scholar. On the side of the aisle was an old man about 50 years old, with a beard of more than 3 inches long on his chin. Although he was a little embarrassed, his expression was peaceful. Moreover, each person was holding a teacup in his hand, and there was a piece in the window. It was obviously the sleeper, but they were all exactly the same.

Jiang Yongqi's heart moved. The two men seemed to have some origins, so he said, "Where are you two?"

The young man said, "I'm Zhang Li, this is my uncle Zhang Wenwang, we are from Yangtangwan."

Jiang Yongqi nodded, and also informed his name, saying, "Do you two know where this ship comes from? I don't think it looks like a ship from the Black Court."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Brother, have you heard of East China**?"

Jiang Yongqi said: "Is it the East China ** that occupied Shandong and was built by overseas Chinese? So this ship is the East China ** ship."

Zhang Li said: "That's right."

Dong Jiaqi said: "Didn't it mean that overseas Chinese are just thieves like the ones who were long-haired? Why did we get on their boat?"

Zhang Li smiled and said, "It's too late to get off the boat now, why don't you get off the boat now?"

Dong Jiaqi looked at the vast ocean outside the window, stuck out his tongue, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "No, no, no."

Zhang Wenwang said, "Why are officials and thieves? If Changmao really won the world back then, would the world still call them thieves?"

In fact, when Jiang Yongqi was taking the ward, he had heard about many overseas Chinese deeds, but he had developed the habit of being cautious when taking the ward, so he did not dare to speak nonsense at this moment, so he did not take on this topic.

At this time, Dong Jiaqi said again: "Jiang Jiaoyuan, are they going to drag us to Shandong?"

Jiang Yongqi glared at him and said, "Do you know where Shandong is?"

Dong Jiaqi was about to speak, but suddenly she was "gurgling" in her stomach. Only then did she feel hungry. The excitement of being rescued just now had not passed, and she forgot about hunger. Now the feeling of hunger came again, and she suddenly became weak and collapsed on the seat. Jiang Yongqi looked at Wanyun beside her again, and saw that she was leaning against the wall, slightly closing her eyes, and not moving.

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, there will be..."

Before he finished speaking, a door in the wall in the cabin opened. Four people were pushing a small car out, with a big bucket on the car and saying, "The person who just received the wooden sign took out the wooden sign and could get the porridge. Everyone has it, don't fight for it, keep order."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "Here, come."

When Dong Jiaqi heard this, he was immediately excited. He kept the wooden sign in his hand and hurriedly opened it and placed it on the table. He looked at it, and then held it in his own hand. At the same time, he stretched his neck to look around. Even Wanyun cheered up a little, held the table and sat down a little.

Soon the car had pushed to their seats, and a soldier said, "Do you have a wooden sign?" Dong Jiaqi hurriedly handed over his wooden sign. The soldier took the wooden sign, put it in his pocket, took out a large sea bowl from the bottom of the car, then uncovered the lid of the bucket, made a large bowl of porridge, and then inserted a small wooden spoon into the porridge and handed it to Dong Jiaqi. While making the porridge, he also said, "Don't hurry, don't rob, everyone has it, keep order."

Jiang Yongqi hurriedly handed over the wooden signs of himself and Wanyun, and he got two large bowls of porridge. The bowl was indeed quite large, almost a large bowl of soup for ordinary people. The porridge was also very thick. The wooden spoon could be inserted vertically in the porridge, and it was steaming and had an attractive aroma.

Jiang Yongqi put a bowl of porridge in front of Wanyun and said, "Eat it." Then he also scooped a spoonful of porridge himself and put it in his mouth. The porridge was salty and there was some minced meat in the porridge. Although Jiang Yongqi could still bear it, Bi Jing hadn't eaten for a day and night, and was very hungry. He only thought it was extremely delicious. Therefore, he ate several spoons in a row. Dong Jiaqi had already picked up the bowl and rushed the porridge directly into his mouth, making a scattered sound.

Zhang Wenwang said: "Don't be anxious, eat slowly, eat slowly, and don't choke."

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the other side: "Why do you rob our wooden sign? Return it to us quickly."

Another yelled: "What's the name? What's this place? You kid dares to scream wildly, but you don't want to live anymore."

Jiang Yongqi also put the porridge on his back and looked to the other side. He saw that in the row behind his seat, two people had stood up. Among them, one of them was a companion named Li Kun, who was only 19 years old. He just came to the manor to do odd jobs this year. The shouting just now was made by him, and there was a companion sitting next to him. This man was named Song Zengfu, the chef in the manor. He was 45 years old this year and worked in the manor for nearly 30 years. He was holding Li Kun's arm, as if he wanted to stop him, but Li Kun did not obey Song Zengfu, but was staring at the person opposite them. Buda the man opposite them was unable to see his appearance because his back was facing Jiang Yongqi.

Jiang Yongqi frowned. He knew that although Li Kun was not old, he was also an honest person and usually would not cause trouble. He didn't know how to conflict with others. He heard what he had just shouted, it seemed that the man opposite stole his wooden sign.

The soldiers who were making porridge immediately stopped to make porridge, walked to the group of seats, and sternly said: "What's going on? What happened."

With his back to Jiang Yongqi's side, a sitting person immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Jun Ye, it's okay here."

Li Kun said: "Why are you okay? You snatched ours..."

Before he finished speaking, the man standing roared and interrupted, "What's your name? What's your name? Jun Ye is here, so you can speak!" Then he turned to the soldier and smiled and said, "Jun Ye, it's nothing here. It's because this kid doesn't understand the rules and evacuate the country here. I'll teach him a lesson for you, and you won't have to do anything."

The man sitting also said, "June, our brother's uncle works as a job in Luzhou Prefecture, and he can speak in front of the prefect, you..."

The soldier interrupted him impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, what happened just now, what are you quarrels about?"

Li Kun*** said: "June, it was them. They snatched the wooden signs from Uncle Song and me, and they were in their hands. You said the wooden signs can be exchanged for porridge."

The man standing said, "What are your wooden signs? This is obviously our brother's wooden sign. You kid dare to falsely accuse our brothers. Be careful that I will go to Luzhou Prefecture to sue you for false accusation."
