In order to facilitate his actions, Huzi specially transferred ten war horses from the cavalry company of the army. So, the father and son came to Maimaiti's house with four horses.

After a while, Shoko got up and said that she was going to the next room. Maimaiti will understand, and he will no longer be polite to keep him, he knows that people have important things to discuss. The naïve Anarhan was about to jump and follow, but was stopped by Maimaitina's eyes.

Xiangzi saw that the two women had not finished touching Huzi before and after looking at it, so he smiled and said, "Huzi is such an adult, look at you two and treat him as a doll." ”

Shuzhen snorted with cold air and muttered: "How old is our baby, how can it be like you, you have no heart and lungs, you only know work." ”

Xiangzi saw Juanzi pursing his lips and smiled, and said abruptly: "There is really something at work, and I want to ask the two chiefs of staff to pay attention." ”

When Shuzhen and Juanzi heard that there was something serious, they quietly approached Xiangzi. Xiangzi sighed lightly and said, "I met with the people at the base in the morning, and I didn't come up with a name. It seems that people don't pay attention to the bandits' affairs at all. It is no wonder that they have a regiment of troops guarding them, and they are also fearless. ”

After a pause, Xiangzi glanced at everyone gently, and continued with a slightly solemn expression: "The only clue at the moment is that Huzi found a boat in the lake a few days ago. Since it happened on the lake, let's start with the water. ”

As he spoke, he said in a low voice with a difficult face: "The dilemma at the moment is that our people are all a group of landlubbers, and they are tigers on the ground, and they will become grins when they are afraid of being in the water." It is said that Bosten Lake has ten ditches and hundreds of forks, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get out when they go in. ”

Seeing that the two mothers were tightly locked, they were also at a loss. Huzi grinned and said, "There are manpower, and when I came back from the lake that day, I was thinking about exploring the reality in the water. Some of the troops were southerners, and some grew up on fishing boats when they were young, and they were more comfortable in the water than on the ground. I have discussed with Cheng Liang and asked him to find two fighters with good water skills and quick hands and feet to cooperate with us. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he sighed, looked at Huzi with relief and smiled: "Well, your kid has grown again." Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

Huzi saw that his plan had been affirmed by his father, so he said in high spirits: "I plan to get a small boat, disguise myself as a Uyghur fisherman, and walk around the fork of the lake to see if there is any unusual movement." ”

Before the words fell, Shuzhen and Juanzi glared at almost the same time: "You are not allowed to go into the water!" ”

Huzi smiled and said, "I don't go into the water, I only stumble on the boat." ”

Shuzhen said angrily: "It's not possible on the ship, didn't you listen to Maimaiti?" The ship sank inexplicably. You'll have a few dog shaves, and I'm not at ease. ”

Juanzi also immediately responded: "Isn't there anyone in the army who knows how to water, let them go and count it." You just have to command and command on the shore, and what are you doing at that risk? ”

Seeing that Xiangzi had been silent, Shuzhen smashed Xiangzi a little anxiously, glanced at him with slight disgust, and pouted, "You have something to say." ”

Xiangzi seemed to be suddenly startled, and muttered to himself: "It's not that you can't go, but you have to take the necessary protective measures." ”

Huzi smiled happily and said, "I am going to let the sailors carry short guns and daggers, and I will hide two poles on the ship." I don't plan to work hard with the other party when I find the situation, mainly to find out the truth. ”

Seeing Xiangzi nodding silently, Shuzhen was about to have a seizure, but was secretly pinched by Juanzi. Juanzi knows that now is not the time to protect the calf, the task is imminent, and the pressure on both father and son is great.

Hearing that Huzi was going down to the lake, Anarhan shouted that he would go too. After saying and persuading, I saw her excitedly take a sheepskin raft, and Chong Huzi blinked her big eyes like water grapes and said, "This is the raft I used to go down to the lake when I was a child, and it can be used for miles." ”

The production of the sheepskin raft is very particular, it is to slaughter the goat, from the back of the buttocks to open a cross, the whole sheepskin into a cylinder peel off, in the opening smeared with a special waterproof glue, and then with the sheep intestine tightly sewn up. After the glue is cured, blow through the small holes left until the sheepskin is blown to swell, and then seal and remove the hair. When the sheepskin is completely dried, it becomes a lightweight and durable sheepskin raft, which is equivalent to the current lifebuoy.

When everything was ready, Xiangzi took Maimaiti Shuzhen and them, dressed as Uyghurs, as if they were a family visiting the lakes and mountains and enjoying the waterside food barbecue. Anarhan danced to the melodious sound of Rewapu playing in Maimaiti, as if this was a paradise on earth.

The three Huzi, dressed as Uyghur villagers, rowed a boat and cast a net, while Huzi sat quietly at the stern of the boat, pretending to arrange the fishing nets, but his eyes scanned the water like a knife blade.

According to Maimaiti's experience, when encountering the law of the lake fork and walking in the direction of the water blue, the tiger was quite smooth, and they only walked around while casting nets, and only walked through two dead ends by mistake. The lake is quiet only for wild ducks and some unknown water birds, with the occasional buzzing sound.

I didn't find anything abnormal, but I caught a lot of fish. Huzi glanced at the sun hanging overhead, and his voice turned around with a whimsical command.

The early autumn sunshine was so enthusiastic that the reeds, which were full of tidbits, also hung their heads shyly. The squinting mosquitoes in the cool fork of the lake bite like hungry wolves that have not eaten for a long time. Moreover, it is heroic to go forward and succeed.

Shuzhen and Juanzi saw that they had caught a lot of fish, so they happily picked up a few small ones and went to the lake to clean. Like a seasoned veteran, Maimaiti grilled the lamb and the fresh fish that came with it.

The father and son exchanged glances like lightning, and by peeing, they walked together towards a cluster of red willows not far away.

The two of them had a comfortable catharsis, and when they saw their father's inquiring gaze, they glanced at themselves. While arranging his pants, Huzi said dejectedly: "There is no trace at all, after eating, I plan to go around from the south side to have a look, I don't believe that he can hide in the otter hole." ”

Xiangzi nodded contemplatively, smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't worry, people also want to observe whether you are really fishing." Next time, try to relax as much as possible, and don't be so nervous that people don't dare to show up. ”

No one drinks alcohol, and the picnic is hearty and quick. Huzi tiptoed to look at the lake, and was just about to beckon the sailors to work, but Analhan floated to Huzi like a butterfly, hugged Huzi's arm with affectionate hands, and shouted a little squeamishly: "I will go with you too!" As he spoke, he still looked at Maimaiti with a clear gaze.

Huzi smiled at her warmly, and was about to politely refuse. Unexpectedly, Maimai stroked his beard with his hands, and said with a smile: "Let her go, she is more flexible than a wild duck in the water." Besides, with her, it's more like a fishing family. As he spoke, he silently handed the sharp knife in his hand to Anarhan's hand and winked at her playfully.

Xiangzi glanced at Maimaiti with gratitude on his face, and suddenly had a deep respect for the clever and wise alien brother in front of him. He nodded slightly at Huzi, who was full of hesitation, looked at Anarhan lovingly, and said softly: "Listen to your brother Huzi, don't go into the water easily." ”

Anarhan made a graceful gesture of thanks to Xiangzi, and floated towards the boat like a swallow.

The amorous sun illuminated Anarhan in a fiery red, and the golden headdress shimmered with dazzling light. She deserved to have grown up by the lake, and Ana's graceful body stood straight at the bow of the boat, as if fixed there, and even the warriors of the water town gave a thumbs up and praised it.

The sun was setting in the west, a breeze was blowing, and the reeds on both sides made a crisp sizzling sound. A few wild ducks were frightened for some reason, and after a deafening noise, the shadow of gliding had already swept overhead and drifted into the distance.

Just when everyone was stunned, suddenly, a dull and clear thud came from under the boat. Huzi hurriedly listened to it, and suddenly whispered with a panicked face: "There is someone under the boat!" ”
