Chapter 19: Burning the Boat (Asking for Flowers!!) )
Sato Hideyoshi never thought that the dumb Daming who killed half of their team of would-be robbers turned out to be "Wang Qing"! And after knowing this fact, his mentality changed a little, because what he saw in front of him was no longer the mysterious mute who knew nothing and could spell, "Wang Qing" was still quite familiar to Sato Hideyoshi, at least they had fought each other.
However, thinking of what "Wang Qing" did that night and the means he had just seen with his own eyes, Sato Hideyoshi's jealousy of "Wang Qing" couldn't help but deepen two points, and he said in his heart: "I didn't expect him to be so powerful, fortunately I didn't do it in the cabin, otherwise I was afraid that I would have died early." He hesitated for a moment, then put on a smile and said, "Prince Wang, it turned out to be you!" "But people are still leaning against the side of the boat, ready to jump into the sea at any time.
Dongmen Qing also thought in his heart: "Unexpectedly, it turned out to be him." He snorted, nodded to him as if to reassure, and leaned back against a mast. Beckoning Li Chun to come over, he pointed to the North Korean woman who was crying on the deck.
Li Chun shouted, "That's right! I'm going to save people! ”
In fact, he didn't understand what Dongmen Qing said at all, and when he was about to pick up the North Korean woman, he glanced at Sato vigilantly, raised the short knife in his hand, and Sato hurriedly said in Korean: "Little brother, I also know Wang Daguan!" We are our own people, our own people! Li Chun glanced at Dongmen Qing, Dongmen Qing looked at his face, nodded again, Li Chun went to help the woman up, and asked her where the others were, Sato Hideyoshi said, "I know." You come with me. ”
Suddenly, Dongmen Qing raised the knife and pointed to the weapon in his hand, Sato Hideyoshi hesitated, then threw the knife at his feet, and saw that Dongmen Qing did not take the opportunity to come over and harm himself, so he took Li Chun into the cabin, and thought all the way: "He should also drift here, no matter how powerful he is on this island, he has to help him if he wants to leave." It shouldn't kill me for a while. Thinking of this, he felt a little more relieved, and felt that he had a little more chips on hand to let Dongmen Qing not kill him.
After the pirates sacked the island, all the men, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were killed, leaving only eight men and nineteen young women who did not dare to resist, ready to be transported to the city of Goto slaves for sale. At this time, except for the woman on the deck, the other twenty-six people were locked up in the lowest cabin like brutes. Sato Hideyoshi came out first after opening the hatch, Li Chun couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw the villagers, and let them out one by one, and he didn't have time to say anything to them in the chaos, just kept telling them to go out quickly.
These 20 or so people were trapped for a long time, and they didn't eat all day, and when they climbed on the deck, they were all depressed, and they couldn't figure out the situation, and when they arrived on the deck, they saw Dongmen Qing wearing Japanese clothes, covered in blood, and standing by the mast with a Japanese knife in his hand, so they all thought that he was also a Japanese robber, and they didn't know what to do when they let themselves out, so they all cowered and squeezed aside and didn't dare to approach.
Hideyoshi Sato stood aside and watched coldly, and said to himself, "This is a little wrong...... Why didn't Wang Qing speak? Yes! Mute? Is he dumb? He smiled and bowed to Dongmen Qing and said, "Prince Wang, why did you come here?" Was it also brought by the waves? These two sentences are meaningless at all, and the actual purpose is not to inquire about anything, but to see how Dongmen Qing reacts.
Dongmenqing was very happy at first when he saw these North Koreans coming out, thinking that with these people, he might be able to sail to sea. But then I saw that these people were all wary of themselves, and they knew that things might be troublesome, and if they were not careful, they could cause trouble if they were not careful, facing a group of frightened people who did not trust them. Not to mention that his vocal cords are damaged at the moment, even if he can speak, he doesn't understand Korean. If you really want to communicate, you can only rely on Sato Hideyoshi, who can write and understand Korean, but Dongmen Qing can't trust him!
At this time, more than a dozen North Koreans had come out of the cabin in fear, all gathered on the side and whispered, but Dongmen Qing couldn't understand what they were saying, Sato Hideyoshi rolled his eyes twice, and asked Dongmen Qing with a smile: "Wang Gongzi, do you want me to teach them a few words on your behalf?" ”
Dongmenqing didn't dare to agree and didn't agree, neither did he shake his head nor did he nod his head. But his hesitation fueled Sato's suspicions, and the Japanese ronin thought, "It seems that he is really dumb!" And he doesn't seem to understand Korean! Every time he grasped one more weakness of Dongmen Qing, Sato Hideyoshi's courage was a little bigger, he saw that Li Chun had not come back, so he turned to face the North Koreans, coughed and pointed at Dongmen Qing and said: "This is our leader!" Kneel down and kowtow! As he spoke, he kept an eye on Dongmenqing's reaction.
Sato Hideyoshi said these words very loudly, these North Koreans were all bullied and afraid, looked at each other, and they all knelt down in front of Dongmen Qing, and the people who had just climbed out of the cabin knelt and knelt with them when they saw other people. Sato Hideyoshi pointed to Dongmen Qing's knife again and said, "See it!" This knife has just been licked blood! Who dares to be disobedient! Our leader will give him a sword! ”
The North Koreans shouted one after another: "We must be obedient, we must be obedient." ”
Sato said again: "The child in your village has now been subordinated to our leader, and now our leader is the largest, I am the second, and the child in your village is the third." You all have to listen to what we say, do you understand? ”
When all the North Koreans heard this, they agreed with their mouths, but they all scolded Li Chun thoroughly in their hearts.
Dongmen Qing saw all this, but he really couldn't understand what Sato Hideyoshi was talking about, and he was secretly anxious. Fujian is a place where dialects are rampant, and if officials from other provinces do not know the local dialect when they take office, the real power of the government will often fall into the hands of local officials. Dongmen's family is a family of filthy officials, Dongmenqing has listened to his father and brother talk about how to use the dialect that Shangguan does not understand to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and he can be said to be very familiar with this method, so as soon as he looks at Sato Hideyoshi's expression and the reaction of all the Koreans, he knows that this hateful Japanese is making ghosts in it, but what he said Dongmenqing is at a loss, so he doesn't know how to react, so he has to respond to all changes with the same, just snorted and didn't say anything.
Hideyoshi Sato was happy when he saw it: "He really doesn't understand Korean!" And most likely really dumb! The fear of Dongmenqing in my heart has been eliminated by seven or eight points. At this time, Li Chun climbed out after rescuing the last fellow, but saw that everyone on the deck was kneeling upright, and wondered: "What are you doing?" ”
The North Koreans really thought that Li Chun was a traitor, and when they saw him come out, they all glared angrily, making Li Chun inexplicable.
Dongmen Qing was still undecided, and at this time, seeing that the attitude of the North Koreans towards Li Chun was very unusual, he said in his heart: "Sato must have said something!" This person can't stay! "As soon as the knife in his hand is tight, he will kill.
Hideyoshi Sato has been guarding against him, and although he claims to be submissive, he hides on the side of the ship, and will jump into the sea as soon as he sees that the timing is wrong. At this time, seeing Dongmen Qing looking at him with bad intentions, he said in his heart: "He still can't trust me after all!" ”
The two were intriguing, and suddenly Li Chun exclaimed, "It's here!" They're coming! ”
Everyone looked towards his fingers, but saw a number of torches approaching, Dongmen Qing glanced at this group of Koreans, and said in his heart: "If I can communicate with them, I may be able to lead them to expel this gang of Japanese robbers, but now they are suspicious of me, and I can't tell them clearly, these people are equal to nothing!" Looking at the number of torches, I expected that the Japanese were pouring out of the nest this time, and said to myself: "No! Gotta get out of here! But before leaving, you have to deal with Sato first! ”
When Hideyoshi Sato saw the torch, he also muttered in his heart, thinking, "Do you want to help Wang Qing or help the dog?" The dog breeds too much to look down on people, but ......" He glanced at Wang Qing, and saw that Wang Qing was also looking at him, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he was shocked and decided! Facing Wang Qing, he said in Korean words: "Chief, do you really want to kill this group of people?" Don't, there are a lot of women in this group, so it's better to leave one or two. ”
All the Koreans were shocked when they saw it, and Li Chun looked at him with surprise on his face and said, "You ...... What did you say? But he was just a child in the minds of all Koreans, and he was soft-spoken, and he was framed by Sato just now, and his villagers no longer believed him.
Sato said again: "Chief, please, don't kill them all, although the officers and soldiers of North Korea are almost there......"
Dongmen Qing didn't understand what he said, but he also knew that if he continued to talk about it, things would only get worse, so he raised his sword and slashed at Sato, who shouted: "Chief, you don't have to kill if you don't agree!" Yes! Run away, everyone! Saying that, he rushed into the middle of the North Koreans, and all the North Koreans saw that Dongmen Qing really used his knife to mess up, Sato Hideyoshi used the chaotic crowd to dodge Dongmen Qing's blade, and did not forget to point to the torch and said: "That's the official army!" The officers and soldiers are coming, so the leader wants to kill you all! Run away with me, everyone! So saying, he jumped into the sea.
The Koreans were already in a panic, and when they saw Hideyoshi Sato say and do so, the most hasty and undecided ones jumped along with it, and this time the hearts of the crowd exploded, and everyone jumped into the sea one after another across the side of the ship, swam ashore and fled in the direction of the torches. Although the sea water is not deep and not far from the shore, there are a few people who can't swim and shout for help after entering the water, but who cares about them at this time?
Li Chun was in a hurry and shouted, "Don't believe him, everyone! Don't believe him! But no one believed him! Among these people were his uncles, his aunts, and his cousins, and he couldn't leave them, so he wanted to hold them, but he was dragged into the sea.
There was chaos on the deck, and Dongmen Qing was annoyed when he saw these people jumping into the sea regardless of the danger, and he was ready to give up on them, but he didn't expect Li Chun to jump into the sea with him, but when he wanted to hold him, he was separated by several people, and when he wanted to shout, it was just an oh oh guttural sound, completely drowned out by the shouts of the North Koreans when they fled for their lives.
After Li Chun jumped into the sea, he kept trying to persuade his villagers to get on the boat and not to throw themselves into the net, but everyone took his words as a lie, and irrationally followed Sato Hideyoshi to the shore, and then followed Sato Hideyoshi in the direction of the torch.
Dongmen Qing couldn't help but feel sad when he saw all this on the deck, as if watching the sheep of the six gods and no owner follow a wolf into the wolf's den. At this time, the torches were getting closer and closer, and Dongmen Qingxin said: "You have to leave quickly!" Looking at the big boat under his feet, he said in his heart: "This boat is only for the sake of the Japanese Kou!" Seeing that the torches were still some distance away, he rushed into one of the cabins to look for something to start a fire, and not wanting to find a few jars of wine in the first cabin, he broke the jars and threw them on the deck and the sails and lit them, and then jumped into the boat.
When the fire broke out, Sato had already run to the Wako, and when he saw the leader Inukai Shinichiro, he quickly shouted in Japanese: "Chief! Oh no! That dumb man took the ship! The other brothers were killed! ”
By this time, the Koreans had seen that it was not the official soldiers who were carrying torches, but the Japanese who had burned their village, and most of them were so frightened that they stopped, but there were still a few ignorant women who were still running forward with Sato Hideyoshi.
Inukai Shinichiro Taro pointed to the North Koreans and asked, "What's the matter with these people?" ”
Sato Hideyoshi said: "I tricked them, I ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a Japanese robber shouting: "Fire! Fire! ”
The crowd was horrified, and they couldn't care about these North Koreans, so they rushed to the beach after forming a group, and Hideyoshi Sato followed closely next to Shinichiro Inukai, thinking to himself: "What ......should I do next in this matter?"
When they rushed to the shore, Li Chunzheng and his uncle were tugging in knee-high water, and they didn't notice that Dongmen Qingzheng was waving at him anxiously. Li Chun persuaded his uncle to go back to the boat, but his uncle did not listen, and kept trying to break free from him, and when Li Chun found that the others were approaching, he suddenly broke free from his uncle and fled into the sea again, but it was too late, Sato pointed at him and shouted: "This kid is the subordinate of the dumb man!" Then two of them pounced on him and held him down.
Dongmen Qing was on the boat, seeing that Li Chun was only ten steps away from him but was caught, and the heavens and men fought in his heart: "What should I do?" Go over and save him? I'm afraid I'll have to fall into it! Gritting his teeth, he rowed his oars behind the burning ship and disappeared into the night.
Inukai Shinichiro was on the shore, and when he saw this Daming dumb man calmly leaving under his nose, he jumped to his feet in anger. Their sea ship had been cut by Hideyoshi Sato due to the anchor rope long ago, and it had been some distance offshore under the agitation of the wind and waves. The Japanese were afraid that Dongmen Qing was afraid that he had some tricks, and waited until Dongmen Qing disappeared before approaching the big ship at the urging of Inukai Shinichiro, but at this time the fire had become a fire, and the two Japanese climbed onto the boat and found that they could not be saved at all and had to jump into the sea to escape.
Inukai Shinichiro glared angrily at Sato Hideyoshi, Sato Hideyoshi panicked, and hurriedly pointed to the North Koreans: "It's all them!" It's all them! The anger in Inukai Shinichiro Taro was originally because of Dongmen Kei, and he was only angry with Sato Hideyoshi, but at this time, Sato Hideyoshi pushed the boat down the river, and he took his anger out on the North Koreans, pulled out his knife and shouted: "Arrest all these guys!" Not a single one is allowed to escape! ”
The crowd rushed up, and Sato shouted, "You pigs! Whoever dares to move will be killed! ”
The brave men of this village had already been killed, and none of the twenty or so Koreans were brave, and although they were outnumbered by the Japanese Kou, they were all bowed down and bound when they saw them rushing forward, and they were more honest than sheep.
