At this time, Xu Daokai was already murderous. In order not to miss, he did not act rashly.
Because although Zheng Wuji and Mr. Shen were drunk, Mr. Yu was still supporting them.
However, Xu Daokai felt that Mr. Yu was also drunk and hazy at this time, and would fall asleep soon, so he decided to wait patiently.
Besides, the old boatman is still awake, so he needs to be dealt with first.
Xu Daokai took out a few more glutinous rice pancakes and handed them to the old boatman: "Old man, please eat a few pancakes to cushion your bed!"
"Oh, young master, this is not acceptable. This is too unruly." The old boatman quickly declined.
"You're welcome, just eat. My brother-in-law and the others are drunk, so let them have a rest on the boat first, and then go back to the dock when they sober up. Otherwise, they won't be able to go ashore if they go back like this, right?" Xu Daokai said with a smile.
, "There's plenty of food on this boat, and it's worth your bite."
The weather was really cold, and the old boatman was really hungry. Seeing that Xu Daokai was very kind, he regarded him as a good person.
After thanking him repeatedly and taking the glutinous rice cake, Xu Daokai turned around and entered the cabin.
When I came out after a while, I saw the old boatman huddled aside and taking a nap.
He held his hands behind his back, holding an iron paperweight.
Slowly walked up behind the old boatman and gave him a hard knock on the back of the head.
The old boatman fell down without even making a sound. Xu Daokai was still worried, so he went up and pushed him again to confirm that he had indeed fainted.
By the time he returned to the cabin, Mr. Yu was already snoring loudly.
Xu Daokai didn't dare to delay, so he quickly took out two large jars of wine from the cabin and poured them all into the cabin.
At this time, his heart was beating so hard that he had to cover it with his hands.
He decided that after lighting the fire, he ran to the reeds and took shelter. The cold was worth it.
He had already prepared the Huozhezi and took it out from his arms. Because he was nervous, he blew it several times before blowing it.
He looked at the scarlet flames and smiled sinisterly.
It turns out that revenge is not difficult at all, as long as you have enough cruelty and a little patience.
Just like now, as soon as he lets go, all these people will be finished.
"Old Zhang! Old Zhang!" Just when he was about to let go, he suddenly heard someone speaking.
It was the young boatman who was sent to buy mutton soup.
He came back much earlier than Xu Daokai expected, and his plan was immediately disrupted!
If he were allowed to get on the boat, he would definitely find that the old boatman had been knocked unconscious. Then wouldn't his plan be exposed?
Thinking of this, Xu Daokai quickly put out the fire stick, put it back in his arms, and walked out of the cabin.
The young boatman was still in the boat and hadn't gotten on board, so someone else had to help him.
"Fourth Young Master, the younger one came back from buying mutton soup. When the boss heard that these guys wanted to drink mutton soup, he quickly served it to me first." The young boatman said with a smile while carrying the food box.
"Give me the food box! Don't get on the boat yet. My brother-in-law sent me back to do some errands. You can send me back directly." Xu Daokai had already thought of a way to deal with it.
The young boatman didn't raise any suspicion at all, and stood up on tiptoes to hand him the food box.
Xu Daokai took the mutton soup, brought it into the cabin, and then found half a candle and came out.
He placed the candle on the ground and lit it, and placed flammable paper around the candle.
Such a small candle will burn out in less than a stick of incense, and then it will ignite everything around it.
When a fire starts in the cabin, the smoke will first stun the people in the cabin. When people outside find out and rush to put out the fire, the day lilies are cold.
Xu Daokai once heard someone say that not many people were actually burned to death, but more were smoked to death.
After lighting the candle, he slowly stood up and exited the cabin.
At this time, he felt very satisfied and admired himself very much.
After a while, he left in the small boat, and the big boat caught fire after he left. In this way, his suspicion was cleared, and he was smarter than hiding in the reeds before.
"This is the silver reward for you." After getting on the boat, Xu Daokai felt very proud and became generous with his actions.
The silver he threw to the young boatman was more than two taels, which was enough for him to earn a month's wages.
The boatman was of course very grateful and rowed the boat very fast and went straight to the dock.
Xu Daokai was so proud that when he stood on the bow of the boat, he felt that what was blowing in his face was not the cold wind, but the spring breeze of March.
It’s so refreshing and comfortable!
The boatman reminded him several times not to stand on the bow of the boat, but he didn't listen.
Because it is winter now, although ice is cut every day, there are still a lot of ice in the river.
Some particularly large ice blocks are half-floating and half-sunk in the water. It won't hurt if a big ship hits them, but if a small ship hits them, they will definitely shake a few times.
Moreover, Xu Daokai stood at the bow of the boat, blocking the boatman's view.
As a result, the boat hit a large piece of ice, and with a click, the entire hull of the boat shook.
Xu Daokai fell into the water with a splash. The ice water was biting to the bone, and his body suddenly felt like thousands of steel needles were piercing it.
He was so frightened that he threw himself on the water and shouted for help.
Fortunately, the boatman came and dragged him aboard.
"Fourth Young Master, didn't I say something? Don't stand on the bow of the boat." The boatman wrapped a shabby quilt around him and said, "Thanks to the fact that the water here is not deep, I will quickly take off my wet clothes when I get to the dock.
Drink a bowl of ginger soup and heat it up over the fire."
Xu Daokai was so cold that his upper and lower teeth were chattering and he couldn't speak a word.
After finally arriving at the pier, the boatman asked two people to carry Xu Daokai in together.
"We don't have a doctor here, so as I say, wait until the Fourth Young Master has finished changing his clothes, and then ask someone to take him back to the house!
Falling into the water this winter is no joke, but don’t catch the wind and cold again.”
Of course Xu Daokai was also scared, he didn't want to die.
After getting on the carriage, he did not forget to lift the curtain and look over the water. The reed marsh was far away, only a vague shadow, and no smoke or fire could be seen.
It will probably take a while to start burning!
Xu Daokai thought to himself, but no matter what, Zheng Wuji will definitely die today!
A gust of cold wind blew over him, and he sneezed twice in a row. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered the car curtain.
Back at Zheng's house, Xu Chunjun heard that he had fallen into the water, so he sent for a doctor.
Then he asked Xu Daokai: "Why didn't your brother-in-law send you back?"
"My brother-in-law was drinking with the third master of the Yu family and Mr. Shen on the boat. I didn't disturb him." Xu Daokai pretended to be sensible and said, "I have nothing to do. I just need to cover myself with an extra layer of quilt and sweat."
Immediately afterwards, the doctor came and prescribed medicine for him. After Xu Daokai drank the medicine, he should be covered with a quilt and sweat. It would be best to take a nap.
But he couldn't sleep at all, his ears were always alert, ready to hear the news of Zheng Wuji's accident at any time.
