Chapter 2, Escaping for Life in the River

Thus, you chase me and I chase you, as two boats drift away from the shore. Cheng Pan's arms have long been sore and unbearable. However, he does not dare to slow down even a little, as the pursuers have begun to shoot arrows again.

Suddenly, Cheng Pan anticipated that the trajectories of three arrows would converge in a small space for a brief moment. In a reflex action, he threw one of the paddles in his hand towards the distance, then at the critical moment, he tilted his head to the side, avoiding the fourth arrow

When Cheng climbed onto the boat, spat out a mouthful of river water, and gasped for breath, he fabricated a lie about being robbed by river bandits. He asked the boatman to help him ashore, perhaps due to his heavy Beijing accent or his peculiar attire, which made the boatman wary. He did not ask for payment. After a while, the boat stopped and was about to dock at the pier

The tree not far from the shore took two steps forward

The middle-aged man was suddenly struck by two arrows, causing the speed of the boat to slow down immediately. In the following ten minutes, the pursuers drew closer and closer. The enemy seemed to be playing a cat-and-mouse game. Every now and then, a few arrows were shot over. Cheng Pan, filled with a heightened sense of danger, narrowly avoided several arrows, which seemed to infuriate the pursuers. Four feathered arrows were shot in succession within a second.

This fellow used both hands and feet to evade one wave after another, half-dead, swimming to the reeds on the shore. He scared away two wild ducks that were courting. Finally, he encountered a boatman rowing a small boat

However, although the enemy was surprised, they still quickened their pace to pursue. Meanwhile, due to Cheng Pan having lost one arm, his speed was significantly reduced.

However, Cheng Pan is currently not as quick to attract the attention of the loli; he is drenched in sweat, and one of his arms has dislocated due to violent swinging

murmured to oneself in a voice barely audible, "Finally arrived"

As the enemy was about to board the ship, Cheng Pan noticed a vessel appearing in the distance and let out a deep sigh of relief

Chang Yuchun possessed immense strength; even though he was struck by an arrow, he still paddled with great vigor. The pursuing soldiers, however, had the advantage of numbers. The number of paddlers was several times that of Cheng Pan's side

"Cough, cough, damn the main god. How could you just teleport me into the river? Aren't most of your programs broken? Why are you still treating me like this?" The boy splashing around in the river is our protagonist, Cheng Pan

Cheng Pan had no time to think as the main god of m.hetushu.com had restored the function of assigning death missions. Under the operation of his super-sensory brain, he desperately observed the trajectories and speeds of the four feathered arrows.

What is going on? Where are the fishermen? There isn't a single person at the dock; aren't they afraid of their boats being stolen?" Cheng Pan asked the boatman who was tying the boat with a rope. The boatman looked around suspiciously, as if he had heard something.

In fact, the Mongols initially intended to capture live prisoners. However, due to the interference of Cheng Pan, the rowing speed was accelerated, creating a greater distance. The Mongols, in their haste to pursue, only released one round of arrows. Fortunately, the pursuing Mongol forces did not launch a second round of arrows. Perhaps they were inspired by the thought of capturing Chang Yuchun alive after seeing that the first round had hit him. As for Cheng Pan, with his delicate and tender physique, he was nothing more than a weak scholar with a combat effectiveness of merely five.

Cheng Pan was unaware of the disdain directed at him from those behind. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy boarded the ship and while Chang Yuchun was desperately rowing forward, he managed to pull ahead by more than ten meters as the others began to accelerate.

Fortunately, the enemy may have exhausted their stamina after firing three or four rounds with the strong bow (which is very stamina-consuming), or perhaps they believe that their opponent is like a fish in a barrel. In any case, they did not shoot any arrows at https://www.hetushu.com.

The people on both boats were momentarily stunned. Zhou Zhiruo, who was originally shocked by her brother and father's serious injuries from arrows, also cast a surprised glance at Cheng Pan. Apart from the one arrow that Cheng Pan dodged with his head, the other three arrows collided precisely with the thrown paddle, deviating from their original trajectory

He surveyed his surroundings and discovered a very strange issue. There were only a few empty boats at the dock, and not a single person was in sight.

Chang Yuchun jumped onto the boat and threw the two children onto it, then he grabbed the oar and began to row with all his might. Cheng Pan also exerted himself to row forward, while the middle-aged man picked up a wooden pole and pushed with great effort. After rowing for just twenty meters, the Mongolian soldiers reached the shore. They boarded a nearby large ship, and four archers began to shoot arrows. Cheng Pan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. At that moment, his ten-meter precognition kicked in. The two arrows aimed at him provided Cheng Pan with enough reaction time during their 0.3 seconds of flight.

Targeting the two clear flight trajectories mapped in his mind by the precognition, Cheng Pan leaned to the side and narrowly avoided one arrow, while he gently swiped the oar to deflect the other. However, the little boy and Chang Yuchun were not so fortunate. Chang Yuchun was struck in the back by an arrow, and the little boy was hit in the chest. Seeing this, Cheng Pan's heart sank, "This isn't right; the original text didn't go this way; the Mongolians only shot arrows in the middle of the river."
