Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 116
"So what should we do now?"

"We are in a foreign country now, and it is inconvenient to do anything. We should secretly contact other rich families who came to Baekje, and wait and see what happens!"

"I understand, I will secretly arrange people to contact other wealthy families!"

"How far is it from Xiepu?" Wang Wenzuo's voice was a little hoarse. The fresh water on the boat was almost exhausted. He drank half a glass of water to moisten his throat since yesterday.

"this--"

Looking at the guide's distorted face with fear, Wang Wenzuo understood that this guy must have been confused by the chart. This idiot would get lost even if he sailed along the coastline.Wang Wenzuo shook his head, and said to Cui Hongdu who was beside him, "Find a shoal to dock!"

"But we don't know where this is!"

"The fresh water is about to run out. Even if people can bear it, animals can't bear it! Get to the shore first!"

Tang Jun was lucky. After sailing for less than half an hour, the lookout saw a shoal in front of him. Wang Wenzuo hurriedly asked a few sergeants who were familiar with water to row a boat to the shore to confirm that there were no hidden reefs under the water. Only then did the ships put down their sails, row their oars to the shore, let the soldiers go ashore to rest, and then dispatched a few spies to check the surrounding situation.After the distribution is complete.Only then did he have time to sit down, recruited a few captured Japanese leaders, and wanted to inquire about their origins, but found that the language was completely incomprehensible, so he had to give up and sighed: "Baekje people, Silla people, Japanese people, plus us, This Baekje is really a mess!"

"Baekje and Silla are fine, the Japanese dare to step in!" Shen Faseng said with a smile: "I have seen their boats just now, and they are all made of bamboo nails, hemp rope, and glue. You can’t even see a few nails, so it’s no wonder that they fell apart when they hit each other. It’s really overwhelming to dare to insert it in just two strokes!”

"You don't understand!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "The crafts of shipbuilding, iron making, and forging knives of the Japanese are all learned from Baekje. Baekje is his throat. They have become island barbarians guarding the island, and I would have to fight to the death."

"Isao Yi? That's a good way of saying it!" Shen Faseng laughed, "But looking at them like this, they are going to die if they come!"

"This time they suffered from the boat!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "When the two armies were at war before, even if they found that they were defeated by these Japanese, they still refused to retreat. Only when the rear retreated did someone beg for surrender! The ruthlessness of life cannot be underestimated!"

"Yeah!" Shen Faseng nodded casually, and he stamped his feet: "Captain, the soil here is soft, it is impossible to dig ditches or vertical fences, and there is no water source, so we can't stay for long!"

Wang Wenzuo looked around. The deserted beach was full of sand and gravel, and the farther inland was covered by reeds, spreading to the end of his sight. There was no human habitation in sight. He licked his chapped lips: "I hope we can find the water source soon!"

Ah He twisted her flexible waist, and the long-handled sickle drew a smooth arc, cutting down the reeds in rows, like fallen soldiers on the battlefield.Behind her, the children moved the fallen reeds to the side, and the old people bundled them into bundles and loaded them into ox carts to transport them back to the village.This was originally a man's job, but there was no way, the war broke out, and the lords conscripted away all the men who were taller than the shaft, leaving only women and children in the village.

Reeds are good things. The rhizomes can be eaten as vegetables, and they can also be used to weave mats and lay roofs. There are many uses.Ahe’s village is close to the sea, the land is barren, and there is not much food to grow in the land. Without the men, they can’t go fishing in the sea. The reeds are the only source of extra income. The food for winter depends on these reeds. No matter how tired you are, you must not miss it.

"Ahe, drink some water first!" The old man next to him handed over a bamboo spoon, and the clear water glowed golden under the sunlight.

"Yeah!" Ah He drank the bamboo spoon stretched out from beside him, wiped his mouth and continued to work, the old man said: "Take a breath and cut again! You have been working for almost two hours!"

"I'm not tired!" Ah He wiped off his sweat: "Time waits for no one. Finally, on a sunny day, I can cut it back and dry it before weaving mats. In this way, I can exchange some food when I send it to the market!"

The old man opened his mouth, wanting to say that there may be people coming to the market to buy reed mats in the current chaos, but he swallowed the words, and finally nodded: "Ahe, if you feel tired, you can Take a breath, don't wear yourself out, the men in the village are gone, if you fall down again, there is really nothing you can do!"

Ahe nodded and continued to cut reeds. Although she is a woman, her farm work is not much worse than that of men, especially when cutting reeds. She does not bend down to cut reeds with a short handle like others, but uses a long handle A sickle, so that she only needs to clamp the long handle of the sickle under her ribs and twist her waist. It is fast and labor-saving to cut, and she can even work while thinking wildly in her mind.

"I hope the next few days will be sunny!" Ah He thought, suddenly she heard a rattling sound, and the reeds in front were shaking violently.Could it be that some wild animal was disturbed, she subconsciously took a step back, holding the handle of the sickle with both hands, and made a posture of self-defense.

"It turned out to be a woman! There are also old people and children!" The scout inserted the end of the spear into the soil nonchalantly, turned around and shouted into the reeds: "Come out, it's okay, these are farmers who cut reeds!"

Ahe took a step back, raised the long-handled sickle flat, and pointed the blade at the neck of the uninvited guest in front of her. She knew how to use this thing-the sickle was used to peck, just like the sharp beak of a rooster, which happened to be that guy's. The neck is not protected by armor.

Yuan Fei was the second one to walk out of the reeds. He put his foot on the inside of his subordinate's knee, and that fellow immediately fell to his knees. The sickle slashed across his head, and his helmet flew away, as if a piece had been chopped off. head.

"There are thieves, run!" Ah He yelled with all her strength, she could smell the bloody smell from these strange warriors, while she shouted, she raised her sickle and rushed towards Yuan Fei, blocking it for a while, One more person can escape.

Yuan Fei stepped back half a step to the side, and the blade slashed in front of his eyes. Having experienced several times of life and death, he was no longer the former Wuxia Amon. Relieving the strength of the opponent, and then pushing with his body, Ah He immediately backed up six or seven steps, and fell staggeringly.

"Catch the living and control the bullock cart!"
