Chapter 270

~7 min read 1,334 words

The crowd on the deck was surging. The fat fish was probably enough, and even the ordinary people on the ship got a few mouthfuls of fish soup to taste.

When Yu Ying'er entered the guest room again, her face had already changed to her usual smile.

At this moment, the room was quiet, the person on the bed was sleeping soundly, and Yu'er was dozing off beside the bed.

Besides, there was no one else in the room.

She stepped in, her footsteps very light, for fear of startling the people inside.

She clenched the medicine bag hidden in her sleeve and looked at the bamboo tube on the tea table.

However, at this moment, Yu'er, who was dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sister Ying'er?"

Yu Ying'er panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down. She pointed to the mistress on the bed and lowered her voice: "It's getting late, the back kitchen prepared fresh fish, you go buy it, if you go late, it will be gone, let me look after the mistress."

Yu'er was still hesitant. The mistress specifically told her to stay here and look after her tonight, but when she heard that the fish would be gone if she went late, she got up decisively.

"Sister Ying'er, then you help me look after her for a while, I'll be back in a while."

Yu'er walked out of the room lightly. Once outside, she rushed to the stern cabin without stopping.

Yu Ying'er seized the time, hurriedly stepped forward to open the bamboo tube lid, sprinkled all the prepared medicine bags into it, and then shook it hard twice to shake it evenly.

After doing all this, she looked at the woman on the bed, who was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware.

She curled her lips coldly, then stepped forward directly and pushed the person awake.

"Mistress, wake up, it's getting late, do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"

Su Wanwan sat up holding her head, and after seeing that the person in front of her was Yu Ying'er, her eyebrows frowned instantly: "Why is it you, where is Yu'er?"

Yu Ying'er raised a smile on her cheeks: "The ship prepared fish today, Yu'er was greedy and wanted to eat, so she let me serve the mistress here... Does the mistress want to eat? Should the servant go buy a portion for the mistress?"

"Don't eat." Su Wanwan's tightly frowned eyebrows didn't loosen. She glanced at the bamboo tube on the tea table, "Bring me the bamboo tube."

"Does the mistress want to drink water?" This time Yu Ying'er didn't talk nonsense, directly picked up the bamboo tube, opened the lid, and brought it to Su Wanwan's mouth, "Let me feed the mistress, the mistress can sleep again after drinking, and it will be time for the ship to dock when you wake up."

She was exceptionally obedient this time. Su Wanwan's face was rarely better, she nodded slightly, didn't say anything, drank a few sips of water from the bamboo tube, and slept again.

Yu Ying'er saw Su Wanwan sleeping soundly again, and the smile on her cheeks could no longer be held back. She hurriedly put down the bamboo tube and left the room.

The sky outside was almost dusk.

That group of desperate people she hired on the ship should be ready, right...

After Mr. Bai left, Jiang Wei collected the food he sent into the space as usual, and took out a new dinner.

After eating and drinking, the sky outside was completely dark.

Before going to bed, Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately opened a slit in the window that had been locked tightly.

The wind tonight was very strong, and the humid sea breeze blew in through the window slit, carrying a fishy smell.

After preparing everything, the mother and daughter went to bed to rest.

The night deepened, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the deck.

Soon, a slight sound of footsteps came from far to near, and finally stopped at the door.

There was a rustling sound from the door lock, as if someone was prying the lock with an iron wire.

Soon, the door was opened.

Several figures drilled in quickly, and seeing the two people sleeping soundly on the bed, smiles of triumph appeared on their faces.

"Hurry up, find the things first."

The leader of the group didn't disturb the people on the bed, but directed his subordinates to search the room.

Several people skillfully opened the bundles of the mother and daughter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand holding the anesthetic gun tightened.

What were they looking for?

Money?

Soon, the few people who only found a few scattered clothes in the bundle frowned.

"Boss, the things weren't found, could they not be carrying them?"

"Impossible, such important things, it's impossible not to carry them."

"What are you afraid of, call them up and ask, and you'll know. I think the relationship between that Shen family member and this little girl is good, she must know where the things are?"

After saying this, the man was about to go up.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart tightened instantly.

At the critical moment, Jiang Wei turned over and clamped the man's hand, and with a hand blade in her left hand, she directly chopped the person unconscious to the ground.

The rest were all shocked.

"They weren't drugged!"

"The master said, if you can't find the things, kill them!"

After saying this, several people carried the knives in their hands and slashed over.

Jiang Wei quickly took out the anesthetic gun and fired at the people in front.

There were four people in total, one was chopped unconscious, and three remained.

Jiang Wei fired two shots in a row, and two people fell to the ground.

"Puchi!"

The last one fell under Jiang Xiaoxiao's anesthetic gun.

Jiang Wei cast an appreciative look at her: "Good marksmanship."

"That's it." Jiang Xiaoxiao blew the non-existent smoke from the muzzle a bit triumphantly.

Jiang Wei got out of bed to check the four people lying on the ground.

All four were wearing ordinary clothes and should have been hiding on the ship for some days, their clothes stained with a lot of fishy smell.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped forward to kick the weapons in their hands and said angrily: "These robbers are really bold, daring to do such rebellious things. Hmph, fortunately, we have an anesthetic gun in our hands. These people won't be able to wake up until tomorrow. That wealthy mistress should be safe, right..."

Jiang Wei's gaze followed the weapons at Jiang Xiaoxiao's feet, and then her eyebrows frowned: "No, they are not that group!"

"What?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Wei frowned tightly: "Do you still remember what they said just now?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyebrows also frowned.

They seemed to be looking for something, and just now they mentioned the Shen family member... Could it be Shen Que?

Something happened to Shen Que?!

Were these people sent by Shen Que's enemy to kill them and find the tiger tally?

Jiang Xiaoxiao's face turned pale instantly.

Jiang Wei collected the weapons of the few people into the space, then got up and said: "This explains why only our food was drugged. There are two groups of people on this merchant ship. One group was sent by the capital to poison us and grab the tiger tally, and one group is robbers looting money."

After Jiang Wei said this, Jiang Xiaoxiao also suddenly realized that the voices of these people were not what she heard that night.

"That mistress on the second floor is probably in bad luck..."

"Mother." Jiang Xiaoxiao asked for help, "Let's save that mistress, okay?"

Just as Jiang Wei was about to speak, a noise suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Come here! Help—"

The screams accompanied by the sound of fighting spread throughout the merchant ship.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's expression tightened, and she immediately opened the window to look.
