Chapter 131: The Island of Life and Death Lake

"Who are you? How did you run to the island?" the woman whispered. She lowered her voice, obviously worried that others would discover Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng looked at the boy in front of him. He looked so much like the prince Zhao Zhen, and he felt like he was printed on the same mold. Bao Zheng saw the boy's appearance by the lake and came to search for it all the way. At this time, there were too many questions in Bao Zheng's mind and needed to ask the mother and son for answers.

Although Bao Zheng had thousands of questions, he dared not lose his etiquette. He asked a terrified question, which would definitely scare the mother and son away. Bao Zheng immediately said, "I don't know what to call this lady?"

"My surname is Li! Young Master, this place is dangerous and no one is allowed to enter the island. If someone discovers you, your life will be lost! Young Master should leave quickly." The woman looked kind-hearted, but when she saw Bao Zheng, a stranger, she didn't forget to remind her.

"When Bao Zheng is down, don't panic. Bao Zheng came here this time, but he wanted to know some questions. As long as Bao Zheng knew the message I wanted, he would definitely leave and would never drag you and both mother and son down." Bao Zheng bowed and said respectfully.

"What do you want to ask? I have many hidden secrets. If you ask the wrong question, don't blame me for not answering!" The woman said with a look of grievance.

Bao Zheng said in an orderly manner: "Madam, don't worry, Bao Zheng only asked three questions. Regardless of whether the wife answered or not, Bao Zheng would leave after asking." The woman heard that Bao Zheng only asked three questions, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Bao Zheng frowned and said the first question: "Why did the man just now put two of them under house arrest?"

After hearing Bao Zheng's first question, the woman knew that he must have been listening outside the window for a long time. When Bao Zheng heard what the man said just now, he was flushed when he went to his room to wash it tonight.

The woman Hongxia retreated a little and immediately said, "The man was sent by Liu Mei, the head of Longhu Hall. I think the young master also heard that he was a fifth-rank guard in the Great Inner. My mother and son have been on the island for thirteen years!"

When the woman said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. Perhaps she thought of the humiliating life of thirteen years, and tears seemed to burst into tears in her sadness.

When the boy saw his mother, he cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining. He immediately stretched out his sleeves to help her cry. The boy's eyes were also red at this time. When his nose calculated, the tears fell off. He said, "Mom, don't you suffer anymore. When you cry, you can't help crying. Mom, haven't you always told the boy to be strong? The boy will not be naughty in the future, and you will never make his mother cry again."

Bao Zheng looked at the mother and son who had sincere feelings and was immediately mixed with emotions. Obviously, the question just now touched the pain of the mother and son. But long pain is worse than short pain. Only when Bao Zheng knew some of the ins and outs of the past could he come up with a way to help them.

Bao Zheng then asked the second question: "I dare to ask if this child of the wife is related to the palace."

Bao Zheng asked this. The woman was crying sadly, but at this moment she felt alert and immediately said cautiously: "Who are you? How could you know?,,,,,, No! We have nothing to do with the palace! Go! I don't want to answer your question."

Bao Zheng did not expect that this question actually aroused such a fierce reaction from the woman. Looking at her look like a frightened bird at this time, Bao Zheng probably had someone tested her in this tone, with the purpose of seeing whether she could keep her mouth shut. At this time, Bao Zheng asked this question again, but this poor woman thought she was a bad person who came to test her words.

Bao Zheng could only smile bitterly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I, Bao Zheng, are definitely not a bad person. My third question is, do you want to leave here? I am willing to take you away!"

Bao Zheng looked at the mother and son with sincere eyes, with clear and quiet eyes, and they all seemed to have righteousness. The woman looked at Bao Zheng for a while, slowly believed that he was not here to test him, and immediately said, "There are people around this island to monitor and guard it. If we want to leave this island, it is not easy. We, mother and son, have wanted to escape several times, but were all caught and beaten. If we escape again, they will kill Qi'er." The woman's face was full of anxiety at this time. Obviously, the beaten man he had been subjected to after running away was still vivid in his mind. Deep fear had been imprinted in the hearts of the mother and son.

The boy said at this time: "Mom, in fact, the island is very lazy now, and there is no one patrolling it. They are all drinking and having fun at the sentry post in front. It was when the child was wandering around the island that he met a group of friends who were fishing around the island. They took me out for fishing today, but they were caught by the bad guy."

Bao Zheng couldn't help asking: "Madam, when was the last time you tried to escape?"

After listening to Bao Zheng’s question, the woman pondered for a moment, and said, “The last time she escaped was when Qi'er was seven years old.”

Bao Zheng immediately comforted: "Madam, it has been five or six years since then, and the guards on the island have been loosened. I walked in so proudly. Believe me, you can definitely leave this ghost place."

The woman looked happy after hearing Bao Zheng's words, but then she said with a little sadness: "Even if we leave the island, where can we orphans and widows go? We have nowhere to go and cannot escape from the city. We will definitely be discovered soon."

Bao Zheng immediately patted his chest and said, "Bao is the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial court. With Bao Mou here, he will definitely seek justice for you, mother and son. You can follow me to go home, and I will arrange you properly, and no one will find you."

After hearing Bao Zheng's words, the mother and son immediately showed joy on their faces.

Just when Bao Zheng persuaded the mother and son to gain trust, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Oh no, someone is here! Don't worry, Bao Zheng won't go far. When he has the chance, Bao will come and take you away." Bao Zheng did not hesitate, and immediately turned over and jumped out the window gently.

Bao Zheng had just hidden his figure, and heard a man breaking into the room. A man's voice came from the room: "Broken Island, it's really a bird that fades out! Even drinking can be as light as water. Stinky girls, accompany me to have fun."

A tug sound came from the room, and the woman cried even more sadly. The boy's voice recalled: "Willed man, let go of my mother! I'll fight with you!"

Then there was a crackling sound, followed by a man's roar: "The little brat is looking for death!"

The sound of the boy falling heavily to the ground was followed by the footsteps of a man leaving the room alone. The footsteps were a little heavy, and the woman's voice was getting farther and farther away.

Bao Zheng speculated that it is very likely that the woman had been forcibly taken away by the man.

Bao Zheng knew that the man would never come back in a short period of time, so he immediately turned over and jumped into the room again. He saw that the boy was lying on the ground and was already in a coma. Obviously, during the fight, the boy's head was on the ground, so he fainted.

Bao Zheng went up to wake the boy up. As soon as the boy woke up, he was about to shout, but Bao Zheng immediately blocked his mouth with his palm!

Bao Zheng stared at the boy and said, "Qi'er! You are thirteen years old now, and you are a man with a strong heart. How can a man cry and make a fuss? You should have your own scheming!"

After hearing Bao Zheng's words, the young man nodded immediately, as if he wanted to prove that he was a man. Bao Zheng immediately said, "Since Qi'er wants to be a man, he must bravely rescue your mother from the bad guys. Are you willing to go with me, the eldest brother, to save people?"

The boy's head lit up quickly. Bao Zheng showed an admiring smile and helped the boy up. He looked around the room for a while, but he happened to be next to a stove. He saw an iron poke prying the fire. The iron poke was three feet long and pointed, which happened to be a good weapon. Bao Zheng pulled the iron poke in his hand and pulled the boy and asked, "Qi'er, take the eldest brother to find that bad guy, the eldest brother will definitely rescue your mother."

Qi'er immediately wiped away her tears and stood up to lead the way. Bao Zheng grabbed the iron and poked it behind her. He didn't see any other guards in the huge yard. It seemed that as Qi'er said, they all went to the outpost to drink and have fun. As he walked, Bao Zheng saw a young man wearing a steward's clothes coming out of a cottage in the courtyard. Bao Zheng immediately pulled Qi'er behind the wall. Bao Zheng lowered his voice and said to Qi'er: "Qi'er, listen well! The next is an exercise. You and your elder brother cooperate to kill this person. If it succeeds, there will be hope of saving your mother."

Qi'er grabbed his fist and nodded. Bao Zheng immediately said a plan. After hearing this, Qi'er took a long breath several times, calmed down her mood, wiped her tears, and ran out from behind the wall.

Bao Zheng tightened the iron poke at this time, and his palms were covered in sweat.

As soon as Qi'er ran out, she said directly to the middle-aged man: "Uncle! My mother fell down here, come and help her quickly. My mother has shed a lot of blood and can't stand up."

At this moment, a smirk appeared on the corner of the middle of his mouth and said, "Stinky woman, it's really troublesome. It seems that Lord Wang is not here today, so I will go over and help me,,,,,"

The young man immediately followed Qi'er to the corner of the wall hidden by Bao Zheng.

Qi'er walked faster and faster, and then almost trotted. He said, "Uncle, hurry up, my mother is bleeding!"

The young man said angrily: "What are you running? Leave some blood and won't die, ah, yo, you, yes."

Before the young man could finish his sentence, Bao Zheng flashed out of the corner of the wall in an instant, and an iron poke had accurately pierced his heart. The iron poke was instantly drawn out, and the blood arrow gushed out, instantly dyeing the ground red. The young man's eyes were wide open, and he was completely dead, with an extremely terrifying appearance.

Bao Zheng pointed at the middle-aged man on the ground with an iron poke and said to Qi'er: "Qi'er, have you seen it? You should never be rude to the bad guy. You performed very well just now. I hope that when you wait for the bad guy who bullies your mother, you can perform better. Can you save your mother? Success or failure will be here! Tell me, can you do it?"

After hearing what Bao Zheng said, Qi'er seemed to understand. At this moment, he seemed to understand a lot of things, and at this moment he seemed to have grown up and become a man. At this moment, Qi'er nodded firmly, and her tears had dried up. He was no longer a weak person who only cried.

Qi'er turned around and walked forward with Bao Zheng, and after a moment he arrived at a tall house. Qi'er's mother's crying and the man's laughter came from the room. Bao Zheng patted Qi'er's shoulder to signal him to calm down.

Bao Zheng observed the terrain. The house was empty on all sides and there was no place to hide. Finally, a thought came to Bao Zheng's heart. Bao Zheng attached himself to Qi'er's ear and said a few words. When he confirmed that Qi'er remembered clearly, Bao Zheng took the lead in approaching the house gently. Bao Zheng walked without any hurry or slow, tried to hold his breath as much as possible, and finally he hid under a window that broke open. After Bao Zheng put on his pose, Bao Zheng winked at Qi'er in the distance. Qi'er immediately picked up a stone and started running towards the window.

The man in the room who was blaspheming the woman heard the footsteps and immediately said, "Who is it?"

As soon as his voice fell, Qi'er had already reached the window. Qi'er witnessed the man who was forcibly stripping his mother's clothes in the room. He immediately hated him and instantly smashed him hard in his hand. The man was a fifth-rank guard in the inner rank, and suddenly couldn't dodge and was still hit by a stone on his toes.

The man roared: "You little brat, you're tired of living, right? Today, if I don't peel your skin, I won't be the king."

Qi'er spitted hard at this time, and ran away! The man immediately hated him even more and flew over from the window to chase Qi'er. Half of his body had just poked out of the window sill, and a danger of death came to his face.

After all, he is a master of the big insider and always can be prescient about danger, but his posture at this moment is like opening his chest to let others kill him.

Bao Zheng, who had already practiced the ultimate skill in sacrificing his life, made a bold move. With a low shout, the iron poked as fast as lightning, instantly pierced the man's chest. If the man hadn't dodged for a moment, he would have pierced his heart.

The man looked frightened at this moment, and his Adam's apple surged, so he wanted to shout. How could Bao Zheng give him another chance? The iron poke in his hand was stirred, and the man was immediately exhausted. The next sentence in pain was not as good as Bao Zheng's needle. The iron poke was pulled out instantly. Bao Zheng threw it hard, and the iron poke passed through the man's throat. The man could never say a word again.

Bao Zheng's series of attacks were completed in one go. The man's blood gushed out and splashed all over Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng looked like a god of death at this time.

Bao Zheng knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately made a gesture to Qi'er and immediately turned over and jumped into the room.

The woman in the room was a little disheveled. Although Bao Zheng knew not to treat it inappropriately, the situation was urgent. Bao Zheng immediately said, "Madam, the situation is urgent, please follow me quickly!"

When the woman saw Bao Zheng killing the beast named Wang, she knew that she would definitely not stay here. She immediately tidied up her clothes and then jumped out of the window behind Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng saw that the woman was wearing ragged skirt and was tangled and couldn't run fast at all. He immediately ignored the suspicion and threw the iron poke and picked the woman up in the waist.

The three of them rushed to the chrysanthemum garden where Bao Zheng jumped into the yard. Bao Zheng took the lead and then pulled them up. The three of them jumped into the dense forest. Bao Zheng immediately asked to carry the woman on his back. The woman was a little shy at first, but then she thought that if she could not escape, the days ahead would be even more terrible than purgatory. It would definitely be worse than death. Thinking of these women, they immediately threw themselves on Bao Zheng's back. The woman was very light and Bao Zheng didn't feel it was difficult to carry her back. The three of them ran for a quarter of an hour and arrived at the shore. The group of children did not go far, and they were fishing there at this time. Bao Zheng immediately put the woman down and said to the group of children: "Little brother, take us away, I will give you a tael of silver."

A Guang saw Bao Zheng covered in blood, Qi'er and another woman on the boat. A Guang immediately said without hesitation: "Brothers, hurry up! Brother, he must be saving people!"

The boat quickly leaned over and the three of them got on the boat. Bao Zheng immediately said to A Guang: "Brother A Guang, leave here quickly, hurry up!"

A Guang glanced at Qi'er and immediately said seriously: "Brother, you are such a man. You dare to fight evil people alone. You don't need to say that, we will definitely do our best."

A Guang turned around and said to all his companions: "Brothers! Use your strength to take care of yourself! Let's go!"

The boat suddenly rowed out like an arrow from the string, and rushed into the fog after a moment.

Bao Zheng and others had just left the boat, and a group of ferocious people had already rowed several boats from the dock. The island was instantly boiling, and someone actually killed two people with iron pokes. One of them was the most powerful guard on the island, and the visitor also rescued the mother and son who were imprisoned inside! If this matter was known to the superiors, no one on the island could survive.

Everyone on Bao Zheng's boat was rowing desperately, and those without oars used their hands and feet. Bao Zheng knew that he would not be discovered after killing the guard named Wang. Bao Zheng was on a small fishing boat, and after so many people, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuers' boat. This small island is still so far from the shore.

After Bao Zheng's boat walked out for a quarter of an hour, the pursuers' ship could be vaguely seen in the fog. A Guang grinned at this time, "Brother, fortunately there is only one ship. It seems that they are chasing each other separately! I have promised you to take it away from the island than you, look at me!"

After A Guang finished speaking, he immediately handed over the mast to the others, but he put a chisel and a small hammer jumped into the water like a live fish. The ship where Bao Zheng was located seemed to stop, deliberately waiting for the pursuers.

The pursuers' ship was getting closer and closer. As the enemy ship was about to catch up, the ship became slower and slower. After a moment, A Guang emerged from the water and turned over the boat.

After getting on the boat, A Guang grinned and said, "Go away! They are about to sink."

After hearing A Guang's words, everyone rowed desperately. Bao Zheng saw that the pursuer's ship was indeed sinking. There were sounds of yelling and scolding from the ship. It seemed that A Guang had actually drilled the bottom of the ship with a chisel in the water just now.
