Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 76: The Water Bandits Are Really Coming

At dawn on the second day, the boat hoisted its sails. Today was a fine day, with a clear sky and a vast expanse of water on the river.

Xu Zizhen also got up early and came to sit on the deck. The man who got on the wrong boat yesterday always gave him a feeling of uneasiness. Holding a knife, he sat in the back cabin of the ship, echoing him one after the other, in case of accidents.

It's just that the boat sailed until past noon, and there was still no movement at all. There were many boats passing by on the river, but none of them had any trouble with them, and even ordinary collisions didn't happen.

Xu Zizhen frowned and thought to himself: Could it be that I really think too much?But isn't that how it's played on TV?

After more than an hour without any danger, the cargo ship gradually arrived at a winding and narrow section of the river. A boat traveling on the river is like driving a car on dangerous peaks and steep slopes, with ups and downs and swaying.

On both sides of the river are undulating mountains, quiet, deep and lofty, forming two obvious contrasts with the huge surface of this section of the river, which is moving and still. He put the matter of that man aside, and laughed excitedly: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains! You see, Mr. Liu, this is where Li Bai wrote this poem. It really is a good place. !"

Xu Zizhen often played extreme sports, and he didn't care about the intensity of the turbulence at all, but Liu Feng couldn't hold it any longer. Not long after entering this water area, his face gradually turned pale, and he held the boat tightly with both hands The mast refused to relax, but still refused to enter the cabin, saying that he wanted to see the majesty of the Yangtze River.

He grinned reluctantly as a smile, and was about to answer, but finally couldn't help but spit it out with a wow, and then he couldn't control it, vomited in the dark with his arms around the mast, Xu Zizhen hurried over to support him, in front of him Gently patted on the back to comfort him, for fear that he would be dizzy from vomiting and carried into the river.

Fortunately, the boatman on the cargo ship was experienced and skilled in controlling the ship. With full sail, he took advantage of the wind and broke through the waves. After about half an hour, the current gradually slowed down and the ship stabilized. It is an open river, and there are patches of reeds on both sides of the bank, swaying like waves with the wind, looking extremely comfortable.

Xu Zizhen helped Liu Fengsui up, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to see now, I think you'd better go into the cabin and take a rest, tsk tsk... a good little white face has turned into a little green face."

Liu Feng Sui couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Xu, you..."

At this moment, there was a rush of bangs from the quiet river bank all around, and then a dozen small boats jumped out of the vast reeds, heading towards the cargo ship as fast as arrows. There was no wind or waves on the surface of the river, several strong men on the small boats paddled together, approaching the cargo ship in the blink of an eye, sandwiching the ship in the middle of an encirclement.

Xu Zizhen's heart trembled: Not good!Really here!

He had never seen water bandits robbing a ship in his life. He had always thought that water bandits had to be cautious and sneaky. At most, they would sneak up in a small boat and rob a few thieves. There are several ships, and there are several people standing on each ship, and there are more than 50 people in total.

I hit fifty?How the hell is this playing?

Liu Fengsui also saw it, his face became paler in fright, and he said in a trembling voice, "Water... water bandits?"

Xu Zizhen took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, stuffed Liu Fengsui into the cabin without saying a word, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and find a place to hide, and don't let them see you."

Liu Fengsui hurriedly nodded in agreement, just as he was about to get off the cabin, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, what about you?"

Xu Zizhen pushed him in impatiently: "Don't be wordy, get in!" Then he closed the hatch with a bang, turned around and walked back to the deck quickly.

Shopkeeper Liu also noticed something strange at this time, and was frightened out of his wits immediately. He stumbled to Xu Zizhen's side, clung to him as if he had picked up a life-saving straw, and said in a panic: "Brother Xu, this... this is terrible. What should I do?"

A dozen or so hooked ropes were suddenly thrown up from both sides of the ship, followed by a burst of excited shouts, and dozens of strong men climbed onto the ship like apes. With a sharp knife, he surrounded Xu Zizhen and shopkeeper Liu.

Xu Zizhen glanced at the men beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, shopkeeper Liu, leave it to me."

"You are the only one who speaks so loudly?" A middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the group of water bandits, with short stature and dark eyes, looking at Xu Zizhen coldly, followed by a person who was the one who got on the wrong boat last night.

The man glanced at Xu Zizhen, and said with a sneer: "Boy, you are quite courageous. Since you knew yesterday that Master was here to step on the plate to find the way, you still dare to go on the road today. It seems that Master will not teach you a lesson."

Xu Zizhen glanced at him, ignored him, and shouted in a deep voice, "Xiao Meng!"

"Uncle!" Li Meng suddenly jumped from the back of the cabin, flew over with the cable, and stood firmly beside Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen glanced at the group of water bandits in front of him, and said lightly, "Keep the hatch tight!"

Li Meng tightened the knife in his hand, nodded and said: "Yes!" Then he helped shopkeeper Liu into the cabin, closed the cabin door with his backhand, and stood firmly outside the door.

The middle-aged man raised his head and laughed: "Interesting, so fucking interesting!" He glanced at Xu Zizhen, and said coldly, "I only want to make money and not kill my life, if you are sensible, get out of the door quickly, and I will leave after moving things." .”

Xu Zizhen pulled out the knife and carried it casually, and said with a smile, "Okay, just come and carry it."

Seeing that he looked confident, the man hesitated for a moment, but Xu Zizhen was too young, and he was so refined and thin, even if the knife in his hand looked good, he couldn't see any deterrence. force.

Just as he was hesitating, Xu Zizhen suddenly gave a loud shout, and rushed over to take the lead. He knew very well that if the enemy is outnumbered, he must be the first to attack, and to capture the thief first, the king must be captured first. Only by taking it down can these water bandits stop.

None of the gangsters thought that Xu Zizhen would dare to take the lead in such a situation, and they couldn't help being stunned for a moment. They didn't react until he rushed into the crowd menacingly. They waved their knives to greet them one after another.

The leading middle-aged man also couldn't help being startled: This kid hits as he pleases?Don't follow the rules of the rivers and lakes at all!
