At the same time that the scholar stepped out of the boat with half of her body holding the small mallet, she also quickly flashed to her husband's side, and this time almost next to her. The weight of the two adults, one or two children was pressed on one side of the boat, so that the boat was almost on the surface of the water at once. Frightened, Sister-in-law Gu hurriedly sat on the other side of the boat, most of her buttocks were hanging outside, she wanted to press the boat a little lower, and at the same time screamed in horror not to hurt the child.

Yang Xianmao stood motionless in the middle of the ship, looking at them quietly, as if what was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him. The woman gritted her teeth and said, "All right, you two jump into the water and swim ashore." I have to stay on the ship as a hostage, and if you dare to come close to fight for food and get back the ship, we will bury your son with you. ”

The scholar viciously immersed the mallet in his hand directly into the water.

The mallet seemed to be frightened and struggled in horror. was firmly grasped by the scholar and couldn't move. Sister-in-law Gu turned her head to look at Yang Xianmao in horror and said, "Childe, please." For the sake of my son, we don't want food, okay? Even if I owe you a personal favor, I must save my son. As long as you agree, I will promise you whatever you say. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded with a gloomy face, his eyes did not look at Sister-in-law Gu, but stared at the scholar's family, and said, "How can you say that Sister-in-law Gu can be regarded as a benefactor who saved you." But don't you feel guilty that you will take revenge, and instead take his son hostage?"

The scholar sneered and said, "Conscience? Conscience is worth a few dollars, and now as long as we live, we don't care about any heavenly conscience." Those things can only be discussed on days when there is enough food and clothing and the world is peaceful. Now in order to achieve our goal, anyone who dares to stop us will fight with him to the end. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "I'm sorry, this boat belongs to Sister-in-law Gu, whether she gives it to you or not, I can't speak." But this bread is mine, and I have the right to decide, and my decision is not to give it to you. ”

With that, he reached out and lifted the grain from the cabin, and looked at the other party coldly.

The scholar and his wife glanced at each other, and at the same time grabbed the side of the boat, and their whole bodies hit the outside of the boat. The scholar's son jumped directly into the water, grabbed the side of the boat with his hand, and floated on the water very easily.

Since most of the scholar and his wife had already arrived outside the cabin, after hearing the news just now. It even poked out a large section, so that the waterline of the whole ship was close to the side of the ship.

Sister-in-law Gu was so frightened that she looked at her son who was tightly stuck under the armpit by the scholar. I saw Yang Xianmao's two-footed boat on the side of the boat, and his whole body rose into the air and flew into the air for more than a foot. The bag of grain was still firmly held in his right hand, hanging in the air, and it slowly fell for a moment.

At the moment when he jumped up and stopped in the air and slowly fell, because Yang Xianmao jumped into the air, the whole ship suddenly lost its balance, and the scholar's side had an overwhelming advantage, after all, there were two adults and one child. Sister-in-law Gu is alone here, originally relying on the grain carried by Yang Xianmao to barely stabilize the balance between the two sides, but now Yang Xianmao suddenly retreated, the balance was broken, the boat could no longer be controlled, and the whole thing turned into the water with a bang.

Sister-in-law Gu was thrown into the air, like a log falling from a cliff, and smashed directly into the water. She was so flustered that she didn't even know how to enter the water, she only thought about her son, and screamed the mallet the moment she entered the water.

But when she sank into the water, she saw her son swimming like a merry fish. Seeing her fall into the water, he quickly swam to her side, grabbed her hand and surfaced together.

Sister-in-law Gu was pleasantly surprised and hugged her son. She knows that her son is very water-oriented, and he has grown up near the water since he was a child. At the age of three or four, he could no longer drown if thrown into the water, and he was able to float on his own without much effort. And now there is no way to drown him, if he falls into the water himself, of course.

But if it's someone who is hugging him, and the person who is holding him is an adult, and that person can't water at all. But the strength is enough to hold the child firmly in his arms, so even if the child has a lot of water, it is difficult to escape.

This is what Sister-in-law Gu is most nervous about, otherwise with her son's water nature, she wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Before falling into the water, she obviously watched the scholar firmly hug her son, the son couldn't struggle at all, why did the son get out of trouble when he fell into the water, but the scholar was gone? Could it be that the scholar let go of his son until he lost his support?

No, if the scholar doesn't know how to be water-based, once he falls into the water, he will desperately grasp what he can hold on to. Even if the other party is a child, it will hold on firmly, which is the instinct of human survival. If the scholar knows how to water and will not drown, then he will not let go, because the child will become his best talisman and a tool to coerce them in his hands. How is it possible to let go so easily?

Therefore, whether he knows water or not, he should not let go, but this conclusion is different from the real result, that is, the scholar released his son. What's going on? Why is there such a situation that is so obviously out of line with logic?

Sister-in-law Gu didn't know why, so she pulled her son out of the water and looked around, and saw Yang Xianmao landing steadily on their fishing boat. But the fishing boat had turned over completely, belly upside down, and soaked in water. And Yang Xianmao carried the bag of 100 catties of rice and stood firmly on the bottom of the overturned boat. Carrying rice in one hand and carrying the other behind your back, you can enjoy yourself.

Sister-in-law Gu was surprised, delighted, and a little sad. She didn't understand why Yang Xianmao wanted to make the boat unbalanced and flip. Before she could figure it out, she saw a woman dragging a scholar on the river more than ten zhang downstream, and a child in the other hand was swimming towards the river. The scholar gasped with difficulty and said, "My hand can't play, I'm unconscious, what should I do?"

Sister-in-law Gu laughed and said, "You deserve it, this is called harming others instead of harming yourself." Sink to the bottom of the water and see the king, and no one will save you. ”

But Sister-in-law Gu soon discovered that her words did not come true, the scholar's daughter-in-law, including the scholar and his children, were very water-based, and half of their bodies could surface in the water. Although the scholar's hands were paralyzed and unconscious, his body and feet could still move.

Easily floating on the surface of the water, but his face was extremely painful, and he looked at his hands in horror. I don't know what caused my hands to lose sensation in an instant? I couldn't control the child in my arms at all, and I watched the child easily break free from his control, and swam away like a happy fish in surprise and joy.

Until they drifted down the river and landed on the riverbank. After inspection, it was found that there was a plum blossom needle as thin as a hair inserted in the shoulder well of the scholar's arms, which did not necessarily sink even if it floated into the water. It seems that it was these two needles that made the scholar's arms completely lose their strength and control over the child, and they were naturally swept away by the child.

Of course, none of them knew what was going on with the two plum blossom needles on the well on the scholar's shoulder. Of course, it was the moment when Yang Xianmao rose up, his left hand catapulted out, and two needles accurately shot into the scholar's shoulder well point, making him unable to move both arms. This frees the child from his control.

What surprised Yang Xianmao a little was that the scholar told a lie, it turned out that the water was still very good after falling into the water. His hands couldn't move, but he could still float in the water, and he didn't sink until his lady caught him. Yang Xianmao saw very clearly in the overturned boat.

Especially his wife and his son, in the water, the water is no worse than that of Gu sister-in-law and her son. This dwarfed Yang Xianmao, and immediately dispelled the idea of saving the child.

Sister-in-law Gu dragged her son to the side of the boat, looked at Yang Xianmao sadly and said, "What's the matter?"

Yang Xianmao said: "Your son was born near the water with you, can't he be in the water? So since they want the boat to capsize, then I want the boat to capsize." They got their wish, and now they can leave in peace, hehe. ”

Sister-in-law Gu looked up, and sure enough, she saw that the scholar and his wife had swam to the shore with their children. Judging from the way he swims, you know that there is no need to worry about him. Then he said to Yang Xianmao again: "Now that the boat has capsized, and everything on the boat has fallen into the water, how can you let our mother and mother live?"

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "Firewood, rice, oil and salt, just buy it again." No one will rob this kind of thing, except for food. ”

Originally, the boat was equipped with firewood, rice, oil and salt, because sometimes Gu's sister-in-law and her children had to fish at night, so they sat on the boat. There was also a set of cooking utensils on the ship, and now that the boat had flovered, these things had sunk into the water, but this thing was not worth much, and he said this just to deliberately find fault with Yang Xianmao.

Yang Xianmao said to Sister-in-law Gu: "I'll turn the boat over for you to see." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly jumped up, and the moment he fell, he had already stepped heavily on the side of the ship. The force was so good that the ship flipped in an instant. Of course, the result of the boat being buckled down is different from the boat turning over, when the boat is buckled, there is no water in the boat, but when it is turned over, more than half of the water is properly raised.

Although it is more than half of the water, it is enough to keep the boat afloat.

Sister-in-law Gu didn't expect Yang Xianmao's martial arts to be so superb that she could actually turn the boat over under the water. Although there was still most of the water in the cabin, it was nothing to him, and he often fished in the river, and heavy rains could fill the cabin with more than half of the water in a matter of moments. Only then would she follow her son to scoop water out with a scoop to make sure the boat would not sink. So she immediately let go of her son, and the two of them turned over from the bow and stern of the boat and got onto the boat. Find the water scoop and quickly scoop the water out of the boat.

Yang Xianmao stood at the bow of the boat with a smile, carrying the little food in his hand until they had cleaned the water in the cabin. In the distance, the scholar and his wife had already taken their children ashore, and they were standing on the shore staring at them angrily and viciously, then turned around and pulled the children, and staggered ashore and left.

Yang Xianmao knew that his arm had been shot by his own plum blossom needle, and his hands could not move for at least most of the day.

As for whether they will encounter danger when they enter the village, it is not a matter of care. Since they are holding children hostage and trying to rob fishing boats and food, it is already a capital crime. Yang Xianmao didn't immediately ask for their lives, and he was already merciful.
