Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tragic Death [3]
On the earthen platform, Lu Mu was wiping the blood on her face with soaked silk, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth that had succeeded in her strategy, the kind of confidence, bravery, and calmness from her heart made her whole person shine, this woman has traveled too many roads, experienced too many ups and downs in life, and has overcome many setbacks in life. At this time, Lu Mu is the most real, a woman who can give up herself for the sake of her family, and a woman who can turn sadness and complaint into courage and self-confidence.
"Exterminate this group of anti-thieves, exterminate this group of anti-thieves!" The Haiqu County Commander who came in a hurry happened to see this scene, and he had the illusion of sitting on pins and needles, and his expression became extremely hideous.
As a direct subordinate of the county order, the county lieutenant, who holds the military power of a county, took the lead in waving the butcher's knife at the people without even the slightest hesitation. It is still okay for ordinary people who have not gone through actual combat drills to fight, but it is far from being able to cut people with knives, and the entire team that has just been built is almost broken up.
"Get your men on board!" Liu Xiu flew down from the earthen platform, leaned over and rushed to the area where the fight was most intense. Several county soldiers had already fallen to the ground and died before they could react, and the county lieutenant saw that there was such a master among the thieves, and immediately stepped forward to meet the battle.
As soon as the two sides fought fiercely, the county lieutenant's face changed. Liu Xiu's weapons are strange, and his moves are both ice and fire, when he holds the knife in one hand, he is light and agile, and only relies on the sharpness of the knife to hurt people, and when he holds the knife in both hands, it is a big killing weapon.
Tossing and turning, rapid and changeable, body destroying the knife, the knife turns with the person. After this round of fighting, the county lieutenant had already been stabbed in the neck and knelt on the ground softly.
"The county lieutenant is dead! The county lieutenant is dead! The county soldiers panicked, but the Haiqu county commander did not panic, his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to swallow Liu Xiusheng, and he shouted loudly: "Whoever kills this kid, I will let whoever be the county lieutenant!" ”
Is it for the sake of being an official to be a soldier, the county soldiers rushed to Liu Xiu with a shout, and they all felt that they would be lucky.
killed a couple, killed a pair to ten pairs, and after the whole wheel battle, Liu Xiu had already been defeated and retreated. The blood on his body was so thick that it turned purple, and he was panting like a cow and still holding on, because the horn of retreat had not yet sounded behind him.
"Woo! Woo! As soon as the front foot said the horn, the back foot horn whined. Liu Xiu took a few deep breaths, and when his breath stabilized, he immediately went violently, and with the overall strength of his waist and back, he smashed the knife with his body, and the knife turned with the person.
"Hurry up, run faster!" Lu Mu stood on the merchant ship and shouted loudly at Liu Xiu, and some of the county soldiers and archers wished that Liu Xiu would run faster, only in this way would they shoot arrows without hurting their own people.
"There are archers among the county soldiers, you start the boat first, and I will follow." Liu Xiu shouted loudly, but Lu Mu refused to drive the boat, because she saw Liu Xiu's value, because without this boat, Lu Mu could still think of a way, but without Liu Xiu, there would be nothing.
Seeing that the merchant ship was not moving, Liu Xiu was so angry that he scolded, scolding that if he didn't start the boat again, he would throw all the helmsmen into the river to feed the fish after he went up.
The intimidation proved to be effective, and the merchant ship slowly started to move forward, and Liu Xiu was still running desperately on the shore, when he saw that he plunged into the water and a sharp arrow shot at him, and then there was a huge sound of falling water accompanied by the sound of the waves.
"Uncle Wen!" Lu Mu ran to the side of the boat and shouted, and saw that Liu Xiu had already grabbed the rope on the hull of the boat and responded loudly: "Prepare the utensils and help me get the arrow!" ”
"Okay, I'll go get ready!" Lu Mu ran away in a hurry, and after Liu Xiu grabbed the rope and climbed onto the merchant ship, she immediately ran to the doctor's room, took off her shirt and stuffed the silk into her mouth. In addition to cutting the wound, the sterilized knife also has to cut off the minced meat on the barb, just looking at the healing process is a kind of torment for Lu's mother.
As soon as the minced meat was removed, Liu Xiu immediately broke the sharp arrow and shot it out, lying on the bed weakly and said: "Don't be in a daze, it's not over yet, you quickly take out the needle and thread from the wine cup to stitch up the wound for me and sprinkle medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage." ”
"I'll start right away, you bear with me."
The wound had just been stitched up, and Liu Xiu fell asleep in the doctor's room, either because she was too weak or too tired.
Lu Mu wanted to get up and leave, but Liu Xiu was so mysterious that maybe even the name Uncle Wen was fake. Out of curiosity, Lu Mu chose to stay, expecting Liu Xiu to have the habit of talking in her dreams.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xiu woke up and found Lu's mother leaning against the bed, and there was more cold food on the wooden table.
"So you're here, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"There's still so much to deal with for me, I can't sleep at all!"
For Lu's mother, Liu Xiu had a mind that did not match his appearance, he was mysterious, confident, considerate and wise, and sometimes self-deprecating and humorous, and the two chatted casually, while the merchant ships entered the sea from the river and headed for a place called Qiansandao.
The first three islands are the collective name of the pirate's lair, which is actually composed of three islands: Cheniu Mountain, Dashan, and Pingshan.
The largest of the three islands is Pingshan Island, followed by Dashan Island, and the smallest is Cheniushan Island, each of which is inhabited by a group of pirates who usually operate separately and do not interfere with each other, and only join forces against the government. The leaders of the three islands are Pingshan Island (Lizidu), Dashan Island (Ma Shiqiu), and Cheniushan Island (Dong Cizhong).
As soon as the merchant ships sailed into the area of the first three islands, pirates approached and inspected them in red horse boats, and those who did not know each other and could not report their names were all cleared and were not allowed to enter the islands. Fortunately, Lu Mu has been famous for more than half a year, and the fight with the county government this time has also spread, so the pirates on the red horse boat did not deliberately embarrass them.
The destination of the merchant ship is Cheniushan Island, and the pirate lair has an unwritten rule, that is, the island needs to be borrowed, although Lu Mu's money is not what it used to be, but the money borrowed for half a year is still more than enough, and Liu Xiu is planning how to incorporate the island into his name in half a year.
Cheniushan Island is 400 meters long, 230 meters wide, with a total area of 0.06 square kilometers, and suddenly there are hundreds of men, which directly alarmed the pirate leader Dong Cizhong, who hurriedly summoned his subordinates to go with him to check, but found a big beauty.
Lu Mu was wearing a big red silk skirt, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms, her skin was like snow, her black hair was pulled into a high beauty bun, her head of pearls and hairpins shone dazzlingly in the sun, and her bright red lips were slightly raised.
