Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Chapter 449 Prevention



Ye Shiqi discovered that the boss had instructed the boatmen, in foggy weather, not only to not navigate blindly but to keep the lights on the deck brightly lit to prevent unseen obstacles ahead.

This was not to attract the attention of followers, perhaps considering if the big ship encountered unidentifiable objects, even burnt stone, and were damaged or destroyed, they need not worry as it was not cargo inside.

They had been on the ship for a long time and were experienced in water.

What was concerning was that there was a little master on board and they could not, under any circumstance, let the little master be in danger.

Ye Shiqi knew her subordinates were worried, yet she could not reassure them by telling them the truth.

Her method of not telling the truth and acting along further obscured their true situation from enemies.

During the first half of the night, they navigated cautiously and safely passed the night, thinking that it would be morning after the second half of the night.

After the sun came up, they would feel safer and be able to see their opponents.

The boss dared not let his subordinates relax, preferring that they take turns to rest after daybreak.

In the past, this routine would have been very tiresome, but for some reason, although they had been exhausted these past two days, their spirits revived after eating and drinking.

Sleeping for one or two hours was now equivalent to what several hours had been before.

Their spirits were even better than before, which they attributed to luck or perhaps the presence of the little master.

What these people didn't know was that Ye Shiqi had secretly drunk water with "space" honey and had stealthily used her remote method to add some spiritual spring water into the water tanks where they stored drinking water.

She was very meticulous in her actions, not like before when she would place rice in the rice barrel and her grandmother noticed that the rice level hadn't decreased.

The additional spiritual spring water was maybe a bit more than the original water, but it went unnoticed.

Perhaps she had matured, or perhaps experience had taught her to be much more cautious.

The crew did not know the source of their revitalized spirits, simply attributing it to recent good fortune.

As dawn approached, Ye Shiqi understood that this was the ideal time to commit the act, having seen in her past life discs of war movies where many crimes occurred under the cover of night or just before dawn, when people were at their sleepiest and the enemy could fiercely strike!

Ye Shiqi had not slept in the first half of the night, and she certainly wouldn't sleep as dawn neared.

For many years, she had secretly worked in the space during such times and wasn't tired now.

If she truly felt tired, she would take a sip of water to replenish her energy.

The boss and the crew mostly focused their attention on navigating forward, with one crew member keeping a visible lookout and another hidden at the back.

At that moment, Ye Shiqi noticed behind their ship, there was a small fishing boat accompanied by even smaller boats, all filled with people dressed in black.

These people, like those who had previously attacked them, were all in black clothes and pants.

The difference was that, previously, they came on a large ship, but now they had changed their strategy to making use of foggy weather for their operation.

Using so many small boats, they probably intended to quickly board their ship from the back.

Ye Shiqi could detect this using her space observation skill, which now had a range of more than 100 meters for sending and receiving.

The people were about 100 meters away from the big ship, while the crew using the light could only see as far as ten meters in the thick fog.

The individual at the back of the ship could be in danger, as the attackers approached silently, and she couldn't alert them loudly.

Ye Shiqi opted to open the door of her room, holding the wooden box she had kept in the space; unable to call out, she decided to personally look for them.

"Little master, why haven't you slept? It's chilly out there in the thick fog!"

One crew member stood at her room door, to whom she replied, "Tell everyone except those navigating to assemble here from the front deck and the back lookout, especially tell your boss that if he doesn't listen, everyone will be in danger!"

The crew member standing at the door, having received the boss's orders, was there to protect the little master.

At this moment, hearing the little master's commands, he felt the little master was not joking and couldn't disregard her words.

"Yes,"

The crew first ran to speak with the boss.

After hearing the crew's words, filled with doubt yet not daring to disobey, the boss could only organize people to listen to the little master's words.

Feeling that dawn was about to break, he thought there shouldn't be any danger.

For safety's sake, the boss still left a lookout on the deck, allowing those piloting the ship to navigate more safely.

The lookout at the rear deck, upon hearing the little master's words, called back the people from behind.

Ye Shiqi watched as the crew members gathered at her door, with the boss among them.

She handed the box she was holding to the boss.

The boss muttered to himself, he had secretly observed the little master's room before and had not seen this box there, where had the little master hidden the box?

He only wondered in his mind, but at that moment, as the little master handed him the box, he accepted it willingly.

He felt the little master was being reasonable after all, handing over the box she had hidden.

Ye Shiqi, unaware of how the boss had judged her, lacked the Mind Reading Technique to observe other people's eyes and expressions, to gauge their thoughts.

In this area, she was no expert.

"Uncle, I'm giving this box to you, you know about the function of the medicine I told you about, right?"

"Oh, I haven't forgotten!" the boss answered dully, his subordinates also stared at the little master and the boss, unsure of what was happening.

"How far can you throw things?" Ye Shiqi asked abruptly.

"It depends on the weight of the object, little master, if it's a small stone, we can throw it more than ten meters."

"I can throw 20 meters,"

Ye Shiqi, listening to their replies, thought that if it's only about 20 meters, then they would have to wait for the enemy to come closer.

At such a close distance, an explosion would also damage their large ship.

Considering there were crew members on board, she couldn't afford to have her possessions damaged.

Ye Shiqi somewhat felt she had not been thorough enough in her preparations. If only she hadn't summoned them earlier,

she could have used the space stealthily, without anyone knowing, to eliminate these thieves.

Now that she had told them, she couldn't exclude them from the plan.

Ye Shiqi had no choice but to decide to use the space herself when the time came, to throw farther away. She would have to take matters into her own hands.

"Come on, all of you, gather around, towards the back," she directed.

The boss… What was the little master up to this time?

His subordinates were also confused, using glances and tugging at his sleeve to question it.

He threw a glance at his subordinates: I don't know either!

Moreover, he was holding the dangerous item the little master had mentioned; did these idiots want them all killed right here?

They were expendable, but the little master was right here!

Understanding the boss's glance, the subordinates timidly bowed their heads, not daring to ask further, they just had to follow along and watch, and soon they would know what the little master intended.

As all of them reached the rear deck, everyone looked at Ye Shiqi, waiting to see what the little master would do!
