Wielding the mountain axe in his hand, more than half of the members of the Qingle County Martial Arts Team gathered in a pine forest on the bank of the Qingpython River, picking up those pine trees with the thickness of a bowl. But in the middle of the afternoon, the pine trees piled up at the edge of the woods had formed a small mountain.

And on the trunks of those trees that were extremely thick, several agile martial arts team members all pinned woodcutters to their waists, climbed high and low, cut down the old vines that were clinging to the big trees, coiled them into heavy rattan circles one after another, and sent them to the mountains of pine trees.

Seeing Sha Bangcui carrying two newly cut pine trees coming over, the chestnut group silently counted the number of pine trees piled up, and then looked at the rattan rings neatly placed on the ground, and then shouted to Sha Bangcui: "Bang mallet, the materials for the wooden raft are almost enough, go and notify everyone to come here to gather." ”

With a word of agreement, Sha Bangcui fluttered aside the two pine trees he was carrying on his shoulders and turned around and walked towards the woods. After a few moments, the sound of felling trees in the woods gradually subsided, and the martial arts team members with pine trees or mountain axes on their shoulders also walked out of the woods in twos and threes.

Facing the group of chestnuts standing next to the pine pile, Mo Tianliu, who was carrying a mountain axe on his shoulder, shouted: "Big boss, we have a lot of things to transport, and the raft made of these woods is really enough?" ”

Reaching out and touching the pine trees piled up around him, the chestnut group nodded slightly: "This raft doesn't look good, but when it comes to transporting things, maybe it's more useful than a boat!" ”

Throwing the mountain axe on his shoulder to his feet, Mo Tianliu casually replied to the chestnut group: "Big boss, I have seen this wooden raft in the past, and it is not impossible to transport things." But it's too slow..... In the past, when the green python river was flooded, some people took advantage of the peach blossom flood to release the drain, and they went out dozens of miles at the end of the day. Big boss, if we are slow when we cross the three-way bay with a wooden row, I'm afraid it will be unsafe, right? ”

Together with another member of the martial arts team, he carried a bundle of bamboo poles more than a zhang long and walked towards the pine pile, Zhong Youtian happened to hear Mo Tianliu's words, and immediately responded to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, what you have seen is a penny and a row, how fast the water goes, how fast the wooden row goes." But let's stand a few more pennies on the wooden row, then we won't be afraid of the slow flow of water! Again...... The wooden rows on the ground in southern Hebei are almost all fish scale rows, which are flat and stable, with three layers of upper and lower layers, which are too heavy. What we want to tie is a shuttle row......"

Seeing that Zhong Youtian opened the chatterbox, the chestnut group dragged a pine wood casually, waved the mountain axe and opened a groove with three fingers deep and a palm width on the pine from beginning to end, and then looked up and said to the martial arts team members who gathered around the pine pile: "Learn from the same, open all the pine trees out of such a trench, and then buckle the pine wood together." Monkey, Arita, you two don't have to do this with your hands, just pick up these rattans, and whether the wooden rafts can be tied for a while, most of them depend on the craftsmanship of the two of you! ”

Pulling out the woodcutter from behind his waist, Zhong Youtian and the monkey agreed in unison, sat cross-legged beside the coiled rattan circles, carefully trimmed the overgrown leaves on the rattan with a firewood knife, and carried out a palm-wide hole and thumb-thick hole on the rattan, and then strung three rattan with the hole in the hole and tied it into a rattan rope as thick as a child's arm.

Like flowing water, the chestnut group skillfully used bayonets and axes to cut and assemble pine trunks cut and assembled by other martial arts team members, and then hammered the wooden tenons that had been prepared into the tenons, and divided them by two to build a rudimentary shuttle-like wooden row with two narrow ends and wide middle.

With the woven rattan rope from the deliberately left gap between the trunks of the tree back and forth, and then with one after another mandarin duck buckle tightened, when the chestnut group straightened up again, a shuttle row that no one had ever seen on the ground in southern Hebei had been completed.

Buckling the freshly cut pine wood into the grooves carved out of the other two pine trees, Mo Tianliu threw down the mountain axe in his hand, and after going around the shuttle row that had just been tied by the chestnut group several times, he suddenly shouted towards the chestnut group: "Big boss, I understand why the shuttle row you picked up can go fast!" ”

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Chestnut looked at Mo Tianliu with a smile and said: "It is said that it is said that the layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway, but I didn't expect that Tianliu You are still an expert, so you walked around this shuttle row a few times, and you understood the doorway inside?" ”

Smiling at the chestnut group, Mo Tianliu bent down and knocked on the wooden tenon on the shuttle row, and poked the mandarin duck buckle made by the chestnut group with rattan with his fingers: "Big boss, as long as your tenon and rattan rope are out of the water, it won't be long before they can be soaked in water and strangle these pine trees tightly." In addition, after the pine wood enters the water, it will also make the water bubble up a few points, and this wooden row will be a two-ended, middle-bent appearance, saying that it is a wooden row, but in fact it is a small boat! ”

Seeing the chestnut group nodding towards him with a smile, Mo Tianliu became more and more energetic, and simply jumped onto the wooden raft that the chestnut group had just tied: "These pine trees have all been cut off a large piece, and the weight is naturally a lot lighter, but if they are placed together, there are more places to enter the water, and they can be loaded with more things to be transported!" If it weren't for the fact that this method was too destructive to the wood, it would have come in handy in many slow-flowing rivers! ”

Haha laughing, the chestnut group nodded again and again towards Mo Tianliu, who was full of smug faces, and praised: "It is said that there are people in this world who are born with souls, and there are more holes in their minds than ordinary people to ponder things, I think Tianliu you are this person!" Okay, beckoning the big guy to transport all the prepared materials, this collection of materials with transfer, it took three or four days of hard work inside and out, tonight we have to send the materials to Komatsuo, I'm afraid that the old troops stationed next to Komatsuro really can't wait! Tianliu, you and the two of you are familiar with the environment, first go find a place that does not attract people's attention, and put the wooden raft we have made into the blister......"

With a series of orders from the chestnut group, it was just dark, and all the wooden rafts had been soaked into a small backwater puddle next to the Green Python River, and all the materials collected from various places were also transported to the wooden rafts.

Looking at the various materials piled up on the four or five wooden signs, the chestnut group who was busy and sweating was eating the dry food they carried with them in a big gulp, and said to the members of the martial arts team who were also seizing time to eat and rest: "Everyone must be extra careful in tonight's action, the comrades of the old army are waiting for the emergency and life-saving materials we have collected!" But, what about the housekeepers of our martial arts team? Have you checked it all carefully? ”

patted a flower mechanism in his arms, and said to the chestnut group with confidence and confidence: "I just took the time to wipe it again, and when the time comes, it will be able to hit and hit accurately!" It is...... There are fewer bullets, only about fifty rounds, and a full count is not enough for two magazines! Or...... Captain, do I leave some more bullets from the old troops? No more, just thirty more! ”

Looking at Gou Da's eyes shining, the chestnut group couldn't help but be angry and funny and said angrily to Gou Da Chai: "You are Gou Da, but you can't move when you see a weapon that can fire continuously!" This time, I gave the old army a flower trap, I think you're not happy with the boss, right? I also heard...... You took both flower traps apart and put together the gun with some parts? ”

Subconsciously hugged the flower mechanism in his arms, but Gou Da tore open his throat and shouted: "How can there be such a thing?" I was afraid that the comrades of the old army would not clean up such a guy as the flower machine, so I kindly helped to pick up the ......."

"Then why does your flower machine look at the color wrong? The magazine and the body of the gun look like they are in perfect condition......"

"It's ....... I wiped the magazine, but I forgot to wipe the gun......"

Seeing Gou Da but incoherently speaking, the more he described, the darker and darker, the chestnut group shook his head helplessly, and turned his head to look at Zhong Youtian who was sitting on the side: "Youtian, the two of us in our martial arts team who know how to travel boats and support the platoon, I will take the lead tonight, and you will be the queen of your palace!" ”

After swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, Zhong Youtian hurriedly waved his hand towards the group of chestnuts: "Captain, supporting the platoon has always been easy to start with hard work and finish, and it is not only about craftsmanship, but also about strength!" Captain, this hard work...... Or am I the first? ”

Waving his hand at Zhong Youtian, the chestnut group laughed in a low voice without distinguishing: "Don't look at my age is much older than you, but in terms of strength, maybe whoever loses and who wins, just do as I say - I support the penny on the first raft, and add a mallet to help me at the back, he can withstand the strength of three people, and it is convenient for me to beckon him to support the penny!" Tianliu, you and Da are also with me on the first raft, and the other rafts also have five comrades left, three of them are holding the penny, and the other two are responsible for guarding! Take a break from the pot of cigarettes, and let's go! ”

In a low voice, all the members of the martial arts team packed up their weapons, rolled up their trouser legs and went down to the river to board the wooden platoon. With the low shouts of the chestnut group, Sha Bangcui, who was standing on the first wooden raft, held the long penny tightly on the stones on the bank of the river, and several wooden rafts that were bolted into a long snake formation suddenly slowly slid out of the small backwater puddle under the pull of the first raft, and floated silently towards the slowly flowing green python river......

Also holding a penny in their hands, the group of chestnuts standing in front of the wooden raft skillfully enters the water, poking it left and right at the bottom of the river, slowly adjusting the direction of the wooden raft. Behind the group of chestnuts, Mo Tianliu and Gou Da, who were squatting in the wooden row, were all holding their respective weapons, and their eyes were staring at the movements on both sides of the Green Python River. For a moment, there was no sound to be heard except for the gentle sound of the breeze passing across the river.

The raft drifted in the river for almost half an hour, and the group of chestnuts who controlled the direction in front of the raft looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, breathed a sigh of relief, turned their heads and whispered to Gou Da and Mo Tianliu, who were squatting behind him: "Tonight happens to be a dark cloudy day, and the devil can't see too far even on the top of the turret." This mission, it's finally ......"

Before the words fell, Mo Tianliu, who was squatting behind the chestnut group, suddenly pointed to the river in front of him and shouted: "Big boss, something is wrong!" I just saw a flash of light in front of me......"
