Chapter 2196: Spring is not too late
"The boat is leaking!"
While still asleep, Shi Li was awakened by a scream. After recognizing the voice, she immediately sat up in shock.
Shi Yu, who was beside him, was also awakened. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Sister, what happened?"
The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. Shi Li didn't care about much else. She pulled Shi Yu to the ground and explained to her concisely: "The boat is leaking. We have to go out and check the situation."
At this time, no servants came to find them. Either the water leakage had been discovered and stopped, or the situation was too serious and everyone else was too busy to take care of themselves.
Shi Li would never entrust her life to others. She casually put clothes on herself and Shi Yu and pulled her outside.
As she had guessed the worst, the ship was not only leaking, but also weighed anchor away from the shore, and there was chaos on the ship.
Shi Li looked around and saw Grandma Gu walking towards her from the other side with a frown on her face.
In a panic, someone pushed Shi Yu from behind, causing her to stagger and fall towards the side of the boat.
Shi Li wanted to catch her, but she was just a child. She managed to pull Shi Yu back with force, but due to inertia, she dived into the surging river.
Pfft!
A wave hit Shi Li and made him completely dazed.
Although she could swim, she had no way to protect herself if she suddenly fell into the icy river. She could only try her best to float with the current and drink less water.
There was chaos on the two boats, and countless lights illuminated the river as if it were daytime.
As she was floating up and down, Shi Li seemed to see a dark shadow swimming towards her rapidly at the bottom of the water, but the figure did not look like anyone she knew.
Feeling something was wrong, Shi Li struggled to turn around and tried to swim in the opposite direction, but after just two struggles she was caught up by the person behind her. A pair of big wet hands covered her mouth and nose, and swam her downstream.
At the same time, there were several dark shadows lurking in the water. When they saw someone succeed, they quickly dispersed.
These people are pirates entrenched in this area.
Previously, he was suppressed by the government and dared not to stir up trouble. He could only hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to act.
This time, they heard that two noble ladies were sailing north, so they immediately planned this activity, with the aim of taking advantage of the chaos to kidnap at least one of the ladies, and then use her as a threat in exchange for a huge ransom.
Shi Li's mouth and nose were covered and she was in water, so she couldn't struggle at all.
In her oxygen-deprived head, her thoughts were confused and she only had a glimmer of clarity. If she fell into the hands of the thieves today, even if she survived by chance, she would have to endure many hardships in the future.
So, she had to find a way to save herself.
How to save?
A six-year-old girl had no protective gear on her body, and no sharp hairpins on her head. Shi Li racked her brains, and the only thing she could use to attack was her teeth.
At this critical juncture, we have no choice but to give it a try.
She gave up struggling, making her captors think she had fainted, and thus let down their guard, and the hand covering her mouth and nose was bitten hard without warning.
Under the severe pain, he subconsciously let go of his hand.
At that moment, Shi Li gathered all his strength and turned over to swim back as if he was risking his life. When his head floated above the water, he used all his strength to shout for help towards the boat that was already far away.
The thief was just taken advantage of by her and didn't care about the blood on his bitten hand. He turned around and chased after her. It was only a few breaths away for him to catch up with her.
Shi Li was almost in despair, but she would never give up until the last moment.
She struggled with her hands and feet to swim back, but when she kicked again, the thief behind her grabbed her calf and pulled her back with great force.
This time, I'm afraid there is really no way.
Shi Li was held hostage by the thieves again and was slapped hard on the head, feeling dizzy.
The thief strangled her tightly and swam quickly downstream again in the darkness. The noise in her ears gradually faded away.
There was only one sentence left in Shi Li's mind -
He died before leaving the army.
I'm afraid her time traveling will end hastily...
