Chapter Eighty-Four: Crossing the Yellow River

"Fart, boy, you know a hair... I'm a fine wine. ”

The middle-aged man heard Wang Baoshan say that he used water as wine to sell, and the whole person suddenly became hysterical.

"You two hairy boys who don't know the height of the sky, you are really too deceitful, Lao Tzu kindly sells wine to you to eat, and you still spew blood, and you don't know the hearts of good people. ”

The more he spoke, the louder he became, and finally, he shouted directly.

"Folks, come here, there are two outsiders, bullying our honest and simple ......"

As soon as he shouted, the people around him ran over one after another, and many of them still had dicks in their hands.

"Where's the little stray hair......

"Where?"

"What kind of world! How dare you come to the door to ask for trouble......

"Steady, don't let them run away, wait for me to clean them up......"

After a while, all kinds of shouts and scoldings came from far and near. The townspeople of dozens of towns, one by one, were filled with righteous indignation, and they surrounded the gate of "a bowl of drunk" one after another.

Wang Baoshan and Chen Chong are still too young, and they have seen such a formation when they have seen it. Facing dozens of fierce people in the dock town, the two of them panicked all of a sudden, and there was no owner of the six gods.

"Boy, do you still want to eat this bowl of wine?" The middle-aged man saw that the people in the town ran over to cheer, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and even more unscrupulous.

"Okay! I'll eat ......" Wang Baoshan saw that the situation was pressing, and he had to admit that he was unlucky. After speaking, he was not ambiguous, stepped forward and drank the two bowls of so-called fine wine in one go.

"It's ten taels of silver. After drinking, Wang Baoshan took out a piece of silver from the money bag and put it on the wooden platform.

After doing this, he raised his feet and was about to go out, but he found that the townspeople who were blocking the gate were still blocking the gate so badly, and it seemed that they did not want to leave it at that.

Chen Chong on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and when he saw that the silver was given, these people still didn't leave, and shouted on the spot: "The wine has also been eaten, and the silver has been paid, what do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, look at the two little brothers, we are generous, we also want to sell something to you, hehe......" In the crowd, a two-eyed and honest man grinned, and raised the kitchen knife in his hand.

"Bang ......"

But what answered him was a thunderclap, and then the thick smoke of gunpowder filled the "bowl of drunk" restaurant, choking everyone's tears.

When the smoke cleared, people were horrified to find that a large hole like a sea bowl was cracked on one of the earthen walls of the "One Bowl Drunk" restaurant.

"Ah......h

The man who was still laughing just now, as if he had seen something terrible, screamed miserably, squeezed away the crowd behind him in great horror, and ran away as if he was dying.

"What's that?"

"Run, I don't want to get a big hole in my body......"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted like this. Then, the townspeople who had just besieged them rushed to flee one by one, and some of them even stumbled, as if they were afraid that they would be killed by the terrible thing because they were running slowly.

In a hurry, Chen Chong used a triple handcuff to exert his divine might. Now seeing that the encircled crowd had run away, he hurriedly pulled Wang Baoshan out.

"Wait......" Wang Baoshan was closest to Chen Chong, and when the three handcuffs were launched just now, the sound made his eardrums hurt, and he was still in a state of confusion until now.

"Silver?"

After his consciousness sobered up a little, he wanted to find the ten taels of silver on the wooden platform, but found that the silver was gone, and the middle-aged man was gone, and even the middle-aged man's big wine jar was gone.

"Let's go!" Chen Chong tugged at his sleeve and told him to leave first.

Wang Baoshan looked at him as if he had something inconvenient to say, and stopped looking for silver, held his breath, and walked out.

The two of them got out of the "bowl of drunk" and walked all the way to the docks deep in the town.

At this time, in Wharf Town, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and there was no one in sight on the empty streets.

Wang Baoshan also wanted to go to someone to ask how to see if there were boats crossing the river, but Chen Chong stopped him, saying that it was useless to ask, it was better to go to the dock to find out. When they reached the dock, they found it empty, and there was not a single boat in sight.

It seems that the people of the town have moved all the boats they rely on to survive back to their homes overnight. Because of the strong wind and rain last night, it was parked on the shore and was easily washed away by the river.

Wang Baoshan saw that there were no boats, so he had to search everywhere, and he never thought that on the shore, he found a small fishing boat that seemed to have been abandoned.

Wang Baoshan and the others were not polite, they directly untied the rope and got on the dilapidated small fishing boat. After getting on the boat, they found that neither of them could row, and besides, there was no boat pulp on the boat.

There was no way, Wang Baoshan had no choice but to dismantle a piece of wood on the boat, temporarily act as an oar, and clumsily plucked the river water, trying to row the small fishing boat.

Fortunately, after he was busy for a while, the small fishing boat finally moved, although it was a little crooked, but this could not be blamed on Wang Baoshan's rowing skills, because this was his first time rowing.

"Brother Chen, did you have anything to say just now?" After the boat moved, Wang Baoshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Chen Chong.

Chen Chong was loading ammunition for his three handcuffs at this time, and said: "Don't hide it, my three handcuffs, loading ammunition, it takes time, just now I fired three shots at the same time, so it has so much power." I'm sweating too, and if I can't shake them, we'll be in trouble. ”

Subsequently, he explained to Wang Baoshan in detail how to use the firecracker, how to load ammunition, and what matters need to be paid attention to...... Wait, finally let Wang Baoshan have a preliminary understanding, for what happened just now, now I think about it a little afraid.

"It's thanks to you that you suddenly thought of using this method, otherwise today's consequences will be unimaginable!" Wang Baoshan was afraid, and couldn't help but be grateful to Chen Chong.

"It's nothing, I really thought they would be so bad, and I can only use this method once, and I can only deal with people who don't know the details, and if you change someone who understands, it will probably have to be invalidated. After Chen Chong finished loading the ammunition, he took out a single-barreled handcuff from the ** bag he had been carrying, and also loaded the ammunition.

Wang Baoshan saw that he was not worth a handcuff, and asked with some curiosity: "Your Chen family, are you all making this?"

"Well, although it is to develop weapons for the Baijitang, in general, it is still for the state sponsorship. ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he suddenly realized something else in his heart, and asked: "This firearm is many times more powerful than the bow and arrow, I don't know if it is already equipped in the army of the southern country?"

"Then it's not clear, my family's status in the Chen family is not high, and there are not many things I can know. In my opinion, it shouldn't be much, maybe only some important people will wear it, after all, the manufacturing process of this thing is very troublesome. And the requirements for ** are also high, and if you are not careful, you will hurt the innocent, or put your own life into it. Do you remember the night before, I used the shock **!

"That power is really earth-shattering!" Wang Baoshan recalled, shocked.

Chen Chong smiled and said, "Hehe, that's nothing, when I have the opportunity, I'll let you see a firearm that can really shake the earth." ”

"What kind of firearm is that?" Wang Baoshan was like an inquisitive scholar, interested in Chen Chong's words.

"A large firearm, called the Mountain Cannon, can blast a mountain into pieces with one shot. ”

"Really?" Wang Baoshan, who was rowing, heard her say that he could blow the mountain to pieces at once, and he was so shocked that he couldn't help but stop, and his face was shocked in addition to shock.

Chen Chong looked at his extremely shocked appearance, he didn't feel funny, and said: "Hehe, we don't have this kind of large-scale firearm in the southern country, it doesn't mean that several other big countries don't have it...... But don't say it, I happen to know how to develop it. ”

"Will you do it?" Chen Chong said about other big countries, Wang Baoshan had also heard Du Xiaosan mention it, and of course he understood the powerful relationship between them. There is really that kind of weapon in the world that can break mountains, and the young man in front of him, Chen Chong, actually said that he would do it, all of this really surprised him.

"I'm definitely not going to be able to do it alone, and I need a lot of things, in short, that kind of powerful firearm, to develop, is quite troublesome, and it requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. ”

"Brother Chen, if you have the opportunity, can you make some cannons that are not very powerful?"

Wang Baoshan thought of a sentence that he had seen before, if you want to do it, you must first sharpen your weapons, if the Black Wind Army has that kind of firearms, it will definitely increase its strength, and then you will be afraid of the guards of Guanping City.

"It's not difficult, as long as there are enough manpower and material resources, it's not difficult. ”

Next, Chen Chong told Wang Baoshan a lot of knowledge about artillery, which increased his knowledge of the world a lot.

In the midst of casual conversation, their small fishing boat gradually rowed to the middle of the Yellow River. Due to the rain last night, the river has indeed risen a lot, and the waves are much bigger.

Looking at the mountains on the shore, Wang Baoshan didn't see the wharf or anything like that, obviously the riverside town was somewhere else.

It was almost noon, and under the gray sky, the dilapidated small fishing boats were pushed forward on the dusk river water, with the undulation of the waves.

After a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the river, and the river began to be turbulent.

"Smack... Smack......"

The fragile hull of the ship, beaten mercilessly by wave after wave of the river, fluttered high and low, making it out of Wang Baoshan's control.

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was afraid that there would be another slightly bigger wave, and the small fishing boat he was riding on would be completely shattered.

"Brother Wang, hold on, it's good if we go ashore. ”

Chen Chong saw that the small fishing boat was being turned upside down, so he hurriedly packed up his firearms, dismantled a wooden plank, and followed Wang Baoshan, paddling left and right, trying to control the small fishing boat, and quickly rowed to the opposite shore.

At this time, the sky was overcast, which seemed to be a sign of the coming storm.

Wang Baoshan and the others did not dare to slack off, they worked together, paddled desperately, and finally arrived at the shore before the wind and rain came.

When they came ashore and had just found a protruding cliff, the rain poured down.

Wang Baoshan touched the falling rain, stretched out his hand to wash his face, looked at Chen Chong checking his ** bag, and asked him: "This firearm can't be wet, right?"

"Well, so it is generally waterproof with a cowhide bag, and my ** bag is a layer of cowhide, so I am not afraid of getting wet, if it falls into the water, I dare not guarantee it." ”

Wang Baoshan thought for a while and said, "It seems that many things can't be perfect!"

"Hehe, there is nothing perfect in the world, but we just work hard to do it well and leave no regrets. Chen Chong said, after checking the ** bag, he also reached out to catch some rain and washed his hands and face.

Wang Baoshan looked at the surging river, washed away the small fishing boat, and said with some embarrassment: "The boat is gone, and I will have to pay others in the future!"

Chen Chong disagreed, and said to him: "Compensate him for what he has done, and next time, we will have to go and get back the ten taels of silver." ”

After speaking, he asked Wang Baoshan again and said, "Brother Wang, did you really drink water just now?"

"What do you think?" Wang Baoshan seemed to reminisce about the two bowls of so-called wine and smiled.

"I think it's water, and I don't drink alcohol, but I know what it smells like, and I didn't smell it. ”

Wang Baoshan said: "Do you think that "a bowl of drunk" is the name of the wine?"

"What do you say?" Chen Chong was a little curious when he heard him say this.

Wang Baoshan said: "Although this 'bowl of drunk' is tasteless and colorless, it is indeed mellow and thick when drunk, and it has a sweet aftertaste, which is better than any kind of wine I have drunk before...... Moreover, when it is in the mouth, it is strong and spicy, as if it is burning with fire, but it gives people a warm and warm yang feeling. ”

Chen Chong saw him talking and began to revel in, so he asked, "Really?"

Wang Baoshan said: "Of course it's fake... Huh..."

When Chen Chong heard this, he almost fainted, and said, "I said Brother Wang! ”

Wang Baoshan said: "No way, from last night to now, I have drunk those two bowls of 'one bowl of drunk', and I have long been hungry and thirsty, so I will taste it for a while!"

It was pouring rain, it was falling fast, and it stopped very quickly. After a while, the rain stopped, but the sky was still overcast and there was no sunlight in sight.

Wang Baoshan and Chen Chong packed up their belongings and began to walk along the Yellow River to the west.

Although they don't know the path, they can only go west at present, because they have not picked a good place to go ashore, only a shallow beach to the west, except for one side next to the Yellow River, the rest of the place is full of cliffs and cliffs.

The shallows that have rained, muddy and difficult to walk. Wang Baoshan and the two, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked for about half an hour and came to an open area.

It was a swamp of reeds, and now it was an ocean of swamps, and the river had flooded a large area of reeds.

Seeing this, Wang Baoshan knew that they had finally stumbled into it by mistake and returned to the boundary of Jiangbian Town.

It's just that this large area of reeds has been flooded by the river, and Liu Qing and Yang Zhuoyi will definitely not be able to hide in it anymore, and they don't know where they will go.

I don't know what the situation is in the riverside town? Where are Li Jin?

Wang Baoshan wanted to go to Liu Qing and them, and discussed it with Chen Chong, and decided to go to Jiangbian Town first to see if he could find other people.
