Chapter 359: Chapter 355: Guardians_1
“I don’t want to eat raw.”
Huzi puts the egg back in the basket.
Jiang Wu felt guilty, but he knew he couldn’t let others know about his sister’s secret, even Brother Huzi.
He glanced at his sister, torn.
Yingbao took a few pieces of Poria cake out of her bag and placed them in Huzi’s palm: “Then you eat this.”
Huzi did not hesitate and finished them all in one breath.
They stayed in the reeds for the whole day. In the evening, while he could still see clearly around him, Yingbao took his brother to the river and released a Gourd Boat.
The boat is made up of four large gourds and bamboo rafts, further secured with kudzu vines and gourd vines and hemp ropes.
At first glance, it looked like a box with four large gourds hanging on the sides.
Jiang Wu opened his eyes wide and asked incredulously, “Sis, are you an immortal? How can you conjure up so many things?”
“I’ll tell you later.” Yingbao took out two long bamboo poles and placed them on the Gourd Boat, then went back with her brother to find Zhangmin.
“I’ve found a boat made of a gourd, let’s leave now.” Yingbao said calmly to Zhang Min and Huzi.
Zhang Min was curious, “What kind of gourd boat?”
Jiang Wu: “Go check it out and you’ll see.” With that, he took the lead and ran to the river.
When Zhang Min and Huzi saw the Gourd Boat in front of them, they were so amazed that they were at a loss for words.
“Why does this gourd look like the ones we grow at home?” Huzi climbed into the boat and touched the gourd, feeling a bit incredulous.
Yingbao and her brother also got on the boat, stepping onto the bamboo raft.
Once everyone was on, the bamboo sank a little, and the river water seeped onto the raft.
Fortunately, the four large gourds floating on the four sides kept the bamboo raft from sinking.
Zhang Min and Huzi used the long bamboo poles to row the boat, and they slowly left the reeds and headed toward the middle of the river.
Yingbao and Jiang Wu kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, wary of Barbarian Bandits shooting arrows from the shore.
The sky gradually darkened, and several bonfires were lit near the riverside.
“Those are the bandits!” Jiang Wu pointed to the bonfires on the shore. “There are quite a few of them.”
Yingbao nodded, “Let’s be careful, we can’t let them discover us.”
Zhang Min and Huzi tried to move as lightly as possible, but the Barbarian bandits still spotted the Gourd Boat on the river.
They howled and ran to the river bank, drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the Gourd Boat.
“Get down quickly!” Yingbao had them sit behind the large gourds, quietly moving the boat forward.
Several arrows whizzed and stuck into the gourds, startling Yingbao.
These people are incredibly strong, they can shoot from such a distance.
The Gourd Boat finally managed to escape the bandits, but as they were about to enter the city water area, more arrows were shot at them.
Yingbao recognized them as city soldiers and immediately shouted: “We are relatives of Governor Zhang!”
The defending soldiers, hearing the voice of a child and seeing a boat, hurriedly stopped shooting.
“Bring your boat over here, we need to inspect it!” The soldiers ordered sternly.
Zhang Min and Huzi rowed the Gourd Boat over, and as soon as they docked, several soldiers ran over, holding swords and spears, their blades pointed at them.
