Riding the Pheonix Chapter 615: Saved

Wen Xiuyi was happy at first.

"Fortunately, it's far away and the fire can't burn us."

The boatman was busy with how to dock the boat, so she went back to the house.

There was a mess at the dock, and it seemed that the fire had spread, even the nearby warehouse was on fire.

Shi Qing looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong.

The fire spread too quickly.

Just thinking about it, the Gu bug on my body seemed to be sensing something...

"Crack!" The sound of broken porcelain sounded, and Shi Qing's premonition came true.

The small porcelain bottles were smashed on the ship's deck, and the smell of kerosene filled the air.

Shi Qing put his hand on the handle of the knife and stared into the water: "Who?"

What responded to him was a short arrow. With a "whoosh" sound, the short arrow hit the wind lantern on the bow of the ship.

The flames splashed down, and with a bang, a fire broke out on the ship's deck.

Then mist spread, and the sounds coming from the dock not far away seemed to be distorted, vague and indistinct.

Now, how can Shi Qing still not understand?

He sneered and walked over with the knife in hand.

You really don’t know how to live or die, and you dare to take advantage of them.

Wen Xiuyi also opened the door and came out, shouting: "Where is this little thief coming from? Get out of here, girl!"

There was a sound in the water, but it was an arrow.

The sound of snatching and snatching was heard non-stop, and the boatmen scurried away with their heads in their hands, exclaiming in surprise.

Wen Xiuyi gritted her teeth with hatred. In order to hide her identity along the way, she used ordinary boatmen and did not know any martial arts. Otherwise, why would she take action against these little thieves herself?

"Aqing! Back off."

Shi Qing paused and followed her instructions.

Wen Xiuyi took out a porcelain bottle, opened it and sprinkled it, and something blew into the river in the night wind.

Then she took out her piccolo and started playing.

"Woo woo..."

Amidst the sound of the piccolo, something floated up from the bottom of the river silently.

"Ah! There is a snake!" A scream sounded.

"Crash! Crash!" All the thieves hiding in the water floated up.

"Here too!"

"Get on the boat!"

Seeing these people jumping on board, Wen Xiuyi sneered: "It's really you! I just let you go, but you don't know what to do and are looking for death!"

These people in the world did not expect that they had made a mistake. The other party was not a wealthy lady with no power to control the chicken. But after things have come to this point, can they still retreat? So what if they know martial arts? Which of those big families doesn't have servants to protect their homes? They have to take action. Just get rid of them!

When the fire on the dock started burning, Ji Xiaowu was woken up by Mingwei.

"Huh? Cousin?" He fell asleep in a daze.

"It's time to work." Mingwei whispered.

Ji Xiaowu was excited and suddenly remembered that they were going to escape tonight!

"Is anyone here?" he asked.

Ming Wei said: "There's a fire outside, they should have done it."

Ji Xiaowu opened the hatch and looked at it suspiciously: "Are you sure? Didn't the fire happen accidentally?"

Mingwei is very sure: "These people in the world are like this when it comes to robbing families and homes. First make trouble so that they can be easily attacked. Then push the boat far away. Firstly, others will not have time to rescue. Secondly, the dock will be in chaos and no one will care. Gotta get over here."

Ji Xiaowu was doubtful.

He soon knew whether Mingwei was right or not.

The boatman went to pole, but found that the cable was loose and they drifted out.

At the pier, the fire was even bigger, and all those people went to put out the fire.

"Cousin, you seem to be right. Now our ship has become an island."

"Yeah."

"When shall we leave?"

"We'll wait until they do it."

When the fire started, Mingwei said: "Let's get out!"

Normally they cannot leave the cabin easily, but now there is a fire and if they are not allowed to go out, will they be burned to death?

Sure enough, they took advantage of the chaos and left the cabin, and the boatmen did not come to take care of them.

Immediately afterwards, those Jianghu people jumped on the boat and started fighting with Wen Xiuyi.

The fire spread almost to the entire ship, and the boatmen were busy fighting the fire in a mess.

"Jump!" Ming Wei said.

Ji Xiaowu hesitated: "They just said there were snakes in the water."

Mingwei didn't bother to explain to him, so he pushed hard and with a "plop", Ji Xiaowu fell down.

Because the fire was so strong, several boatmen who were on fire also jumped into the water, so they did not pay attention to them.

Only Shi Qing glanced over and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't care less about it for the moment.

Mingwei jumped down immediately, dragging Ji Xiaowu into the water.

Ji Xiaowu opened his mouth to speak, but she covered his mouth and nose. Then he remembered that he was in the water. Wouldn't he be choked by opening his mouth?

So I held my breath and swam forward cautiously.

The strange thing is that no water snake came to entangle them.

It wasn’t until he swam out of the mist, drifted along the water for a long time, and was far away from the ship that he remembered to ask: “Didn’t you say there was a snake?”

Ming glanced slightly, and the little white snake swam out of her sleeves, climbed onto Ji Xiaowu's head, coiled on top and hissed and spit out the snake's message.

"With it here, what kind of snake dares to approach us?"

"So that's it!" Ji Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief, "Are we out of danger?"

"Not even close." She looked at the little white snake.

The little white snake lowered its head, licked her hand, and suddenly opened its mouth and bit it.

"What is this for?" Ji Xiaowu was shocked.

Mingwei waited for the little white snake to finish sucking the stuff, then said: "Suck the poison out of us, cousin, with your hands."

“Oh.~IndoMTL.com~Ji Xiaowu obediently sent it to Little White Snake.

The little white snake followed suit.

"Okay, let's go ashore first!"

It's still March, and people are freezing to death in the water.

At this time, a small boat came over.

The people on the boat discovered them and shouted: "Someone has fallen into the water, rescue them quickly!"

So the two of them were pulled into the boat in confusion.

The ones who rescued them were a kind-looking old man and several strong servants.

The old man was dressed decently, but his temperament was more like that of a butler.

He asked: "Did you two drift over from the pier?"

Ji Xiaowu thanked the other party and replied: "Exactly. The pier was on fire. Wan Sheng and cousin She accidentally fell off the boat and drifted here without noticing."

"So that's it." The old man turned around and pointed, "My master's boat is parked in front. Why don't you two go back with me and change clothes? It's so cold. If you keep it cold for a long time, you might get sick."

Ji Xiaowu glanced at Mingwei and saw that she had no objection, so he responded: "That's it, thank you very much."

The boat turned around and headed back. After a while, it entered a private port.

There is a large ship parked there.

The old man asked them to disembark, led them into the house, and told the servants and maids: "Boil some hot water and bring clothes for the guests to change."

"Yes."

After Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu followed them in, the old man followed another road and entered a courtyard.

The hall was brightly lit, and an old lady with gray hair sat in the middle.

Seeing that it was him, the maid entered the room and announced: "Butler Ji is here."

Butler Ji came in to greet him and reported: "Old madam, the pier is indeed on fire. The younger one rescued two people."
