The day finally dawned, and although more than 20 Koreans were tied up, Inukai Shinichiro's face was not half colorful, and he even felt discouraged! Overnight, more than half of his men were lost! Even the ship was lost! What if that Da Ming dumb attack again!

"Let's go back to the village first!" After he made his decision, his younger brother Seventeen Lang led three of his men to expel the Koreans back to the village. More than two dozen North Koreans were tied together, like a string of shrimp balls, Li Chun was tied to the back, and Sato Hideyoshi did not forget to gag his mouth so as not to talk nonsense.

The people walked all the way and looked around, fearing that the dumb man would be killed at any time, and even Inukai Shinichiro seemed very careful.

After arriving at the village, Inukai Shinichiro arranged for the widows to live in a house that had not yet been destroyed, and since two women and one man were drowned, there were only twenty-four Koreans left, and twenty-five of them were placed in two rooms.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, Inukai Shinichiro suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of chagrin.

"Could it be this time...... Shouldn't you go to sea? ”

Since his grandfather's generation, he has been destined to be a ronin who has lost his master, a ronin without the status of a samurai is like a lost dog, without flattery, there is no condition to satisfy his own desires, without rules is like degenerating into a beast again, the only thing he can still rely on may be that still strong body! If he can get to Daming to do a big deal, then things may take a turn for the better, but now it seems that the road to Daming is much more rugged than he expected. Now, the cave mountain he leaned on as his arm had been killed, and the body had not been retrieved until now, and even the already somewhat broken sea ship had been burned. Although it is not very far from Kyushu, it is not a distance that can be crossed by a sampan.

"Are we going to be stuck here?" The back of the dumb man shook in the dog's mind, and he suddenly felt a little scared, "Are the people of Datang so cunning and powerful like him?" If so, it will not be easy to do 'business' in Daming. ”

At some point, four people came by his side, his younger brother Inukai Seventeen and three other untasking subordinates, including Hideyoshi Sato, their faces full of the exhaustion of a night of sleep and the confusion of not knowing where to go.

"Don't worry so much," said Inukai Shinichiro, "it's daytime, and that dumb man doesn't dare to come." ”

"But big brother, what are we going to do next?" Inukai Seventeen asked, in terms of age, he could be the son of Inukai Shinichiro, who had relied on this brother since he was a child. "We're not going to stay on this island for the rest of our lives, are we?"

"Of course not!" Inukai Shinichiro said a little angrily: "Don't think about it so much! Go back to sleep first! There must be a way to solve it! ”

"Nope! Chief, we can't sleep! Hideyoshi Sato suddenly screamed.

Inukai Shinichiro looked at him, and although Inukai reluctantly agreed to join the gang with this guy who had only been rescued not long ago, his heart had been full of discrimination, because he suspected that this Sato was a tribesman.

"Chief, we can't sleep now." Sato Hideyoshi repeated again, "The top priority is to dig out that Daming dumb man first!" If we don't get rid of him first, we won't even be able to sleep well – who knows when he'll pop up again! ”

Inukai Seventeen Lang and the others were a little stunned when they heard this, remembering that when they were sleeping, the dumb man would suddenly appear and cut his throat, and the person who was sleepy was also scared to wake up.

Hideyoshi Sato said, "Whatever we're going to do next, we have to dig him out now!" Only by getting rid of him can things be done after that. ”

Inukai Shinichiro sneered: "What should I do, and use you, a pariah, to teach me how to do it?" ”

"I'm not a pariah!" Hideyoshi Sato roared: "I'm a townsman, a townsman, not a pariah, really, I'm a carpenter!" ”

Inukai Shinichiro ignored him and said, "Anyway, there was a night of trouble last night, everyone was tired, so let's sleep enough first." ”

"No, you can't!" Sato Hideyoshi shouted: "It's night after this sleep, and that Daming mute will definitely appear again at that time!" This guy is elusive, we might all ...... Well, except for the chief, none of us may be his opponents. But there are many of us, and as long as we go together, we will definitely be able to defeat him, so we must take advantage of the daytime to hold him! If it's night, it's hard to find him again. ”

After all, Inukai Shinichiro can be the leader of a bit of grace, and when he heard these words, he felt that there was some truth, but his younger brother said: "But he may have left this island." ”

"Impossible." Hideyoshi Sato said: "He only has a small boat, he has no food, no tools, and he is not familiar with the waters in this area, so he does not dare to leave this small island." I guess he's still wandering around, waiting for his chance to make a move! ”

Inukai Shinichiro asked, "How do you know he's not familiar with the waters in this area?" ”

Hideyoshi Sato was stunned by the question, but he had decided not to tell the matter of recognizing Dongmen Kei, and said with a twist of his mind: "He's a drifter, isn't he?" It seems that Da Ming is here again, so I guess he is not familiar with the waters in this area. Without waiting for this statement to be questioned, he added: "Anyway, we have to do it while the day is in the day!" It is difficult for him to sneak attack in broad daylight, and it will be safer for us to act. ”

"But ......," said Inukai Shinichiro, "this island is not big, it is not small, and we are not easy to separate, and we are not familiar with the terrain, so we really want to search this island, but I am afraid that we will not have enough manpower now." ”

"We don't have to search from place to place." Hideyoshi Sato said: "We can force him out and force him to jump into our trap by himself!" ”

Several Japanese people glanced at each other, and they were all surprised by his statement, and Inukai Shinichiro asked, "How do you force it?" ”

"Cut off his water! Cut off his bread! Sato Hideyoshi said: "We will now quickly send people to collect everything that can be eaten on this island, and burn and destroy everything that cannot be taken!" The main source of water on the island is the stream, which is also guarded during the day, and all other places where there is standing water are destroyed. And any fishing nets and urns were put away. Let that Da Ming mute have nowhere to feed. In less than a day, he will be looking for food and drink, and then the scope of our search will be much smaller. If he can't find enough food, he won't dare to go to sea, and in the end he can only come to us to steal it! At that time, the initiative will fall into our hands, and we can lay a trap and wait for him! He is only one person now, and if he doesn't show up, it doesn't matter, as long as he shows up, he will be finished! ”

Inukai Seventeen and the others were dumbfounded, and Inukai Shinichiro pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart." But your head still owes a tendon! Where do we have the manpower to do what you're talking about? ”

"Why not!" Hideyoshi Sato pointed to the two rooms where the Koreans were kept: "Aren't there still two dozen people there?" These scumbags are cowardly and useless, but they can do what I just said by giving them a stick. ”

Shinichiro Inukai was finally persuaded by Hideyoshi Sato, and in fact he couldn't think of a better idea at this stage. At the suggestion of Sato Hideyoshi, his remaining seven subordinates were mobilized, twenty of the Koreans were selected, and four subordinates were transferred, each of whom took care of five Koreans, to form a squad, such a team of six people, the Koreans were on the periphery, and the captain of the Japanese was in the core, so as to ensure that the captain would not be attacked by the dumb Ming. Two squads form a group, and the two squads within a group must make sure that they are within line of sight of each other.

The first group was led by Sato and was responsible for destroying the island's water sources and collecting food, and the second group was led by Inukai Seventeen, who was responsible for occupying the high ground on the island, overlooking and monitoring the situation on the island, and agreed to return at dusk no matter how well the mission was completed.

Since each group is composed of twelve people acting together, there are many people, and the captain of the team is not so afraid. And the twenty North Koreans were a lot more relieved because they had something to do, but a few who stayed in the house were in a panic all day.

Hideyoshi Sato's strategy was clearly effective. Inukai Jujuro climbed to the high ground of the island and found an excellent monitoring point, and from there, most of the situation on the island fell into the eyes of the watchers, and the village and the actions of Sato Hideyoshi's group were all visible. At noon they even spotted the boat, but they also seemed to soon notice that someone was watching on the high ground, and they did not dare to appear behind a large rock.

"That Da Ming dumb man is really still there." Inukai Seventeen hurriedly sent someone to report to his brother, and after some consideration, Inukai Shinichiro decided not to pursue for the time being, and waited until Sato Hideyoshi's operation to destroy water and food was successful.

The biggest threat to this group of Japanese robbers is to attack Ming by covert, and with the surveillance of the heights, it is equivalent to adding a layer of protection to the village and Sato Hideyoshi's search team.

On this day, Hideyoshi's group collected a lot of food, and destroyed most of the places on the island that might have been used as a source of food and drinking water. After dusk, he went back to the village to take turns to rest, and the dumb man really didn't dare to attack, and a group of people were safe and sound. The next day, they continued their operation, collecting all the food they could collect into the village, and destroying all the water sources that could be destroyed, and after returning to the village, Hideyoshi Sato smiled: "Now we can arrange traps." ”

He was the lowest status in the whole team, but his status has been greatly improved by the actions of the past two days, and in the hearts of the group of Japanese people, he has even taken the place of Anayama, and has faintly become the new arm of Inukai Shinichiro, Sato himself is also happy for this change, but he didn't expect his smile to fall in Inukai Shinichiro's eyes, and Inu's eyes became a little vigilant.

Seeing that the Daming mute didn't dare to come for two days in a row, everyone thought that Sato Hideyoshi's strategy had worked, and they all began to look forward to how to trap the Daming mute. Hideyoshi Sato pointed out how to set traps in the water source or around the village, and said: "If he doesn't come out after three days, he will catch that North Korean kid and hang him at the entrance of the village!" ”

Inuchi Seventeen Lang Qi said: "Is that useful?" ”

"It works!" Hideyoshi Sato said, "It must be useful!" ”

Sato didn't say anything about the reason this time, but everyone believed it in their hearts. Everyone thinks that although this guy with a suspicion of being a Buraku is short and ugly, he still has a very smart brain. At least he knew how to get everyone out of the predicament when the leader had no idea, and even turned against the guest, so that everyone had the hope of completely defeating that Da Ming mute.

At this moment, one of the people in the group began to cry, and Inukai Shinichiro was in a good mood, and when he saw that it was Anayama's younger brother Saemon, he asked him what was wrong, and Anayama Saemon cried, "I saw a wild dog gnawing on my brother's corpse today......

Inukai Shinichiro's face darkened when he heard this, it turned out that in the past two days, they had been single-mindedly guarding against that Daming mute, and they had no time to pay attention to the corpses of their companions, and then the situation improved, Inukai Shinichiro felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it, so he said to Sato Hideyoshi: "Tomorrow you will take two Korean to dispose of those corpses." ”

Sato Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment and said, "But I have to deal with the trap." ”

"I'll send someone else to do that." Inukai Shinichiro sent Paiyama Saemon on the shoulder and said, "Do you want to avenge your brother?" ”

"Of course!" Anayama Saemon said indignantly: "I must take revenge!" ”

"That's good! The trap is up to you! Inukai Shinichiro followed up and said to Hideyoshi Sato, "As for you, let's think about how to bury the body." ”

Sato Hideyoshi sighed, bowed his head and went out, and after he left, Inukai Shinichiro sneered: "I also said that I am not a pariah!" Although they have good minds, untouchables are untouchables, and they only know some intrigues and tricks that they have learned from nowhere, but they do not know what righteousness is! The identity of the townspeople he said must be fake, and the surname Sato must also be fake! He must be a pariah with no surname! ”
