Chapter 76: The Water Bandits Are Really Coming

As soon as the second day dawned, the ship raised its sails, and today was a good day, with clear skies and endless views on the river.

Xu Zizhen also got up early and came to sit on the deck, the man who got on the wrong boat yesterday always gave him a feeling of restlessness, no matter how he looked at it, there was a bit of a water bandit stepping on the plate to explore the wind, Li Meng also sat in the back cabin of the ship with a knife, echoing with him one after the other, just in case.

But the boat went until after noon, and there was still no movement at all, and there were many boats coming and going on the river, but they had no trouble with them, and there was not even a general collision.

Xu Zizhen frowned and secretly wondered: Could it be that Lao Tzu really thinks too much? But isn't that how it is played on TV?

After more than an hour without danger or danger, the cargo ship gradually traveled to a section of winding and narrow river, and there was a river channel not far away, forming a three-way waterway with this section of water, the terrain was cramped and the water was turbulent, and the ship was driving on the river as if driving on the dangerous peak and steep slope, with ups and downs and swaying.

On both sides of the river is the undulating mountains and mountains, quiet and deep and lofty, and the huge surface of this section of the river forms two obvious contrasts, Xu Zizhen stood firmly on the bow of the boat, looking at such a magnificent and majestic scenery, his heart had already put the man's affairs aside, and smiled excitedly: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains!" Liu Gongzi, you see, this is where Li Bai wrote this poem back then, and it is really a good place! ”

Xu Zizhen often plays extreme sports, and he doesn't care about the intensity of such bumps at all, but Liu Feng can't hold it anymore, not long after entering this water, his face gradually turned white, and his hands clutched the mast tightly and refused to relax, but he still refused to enter the cabin, saying that he wanted to see the majesty of the Yangtze River.

He grinned reluctantly, and was just about to answer, but finally couldn't help but spit out, and then he was out of control, holding the mast with both hands and spitting out in the dark, Xu Zizhen hurriedly came over to support him, and gently patted him on his back, for fear that he would vomit dizzy and carry him into the river.

Fortunately, the boatman on the cargo ship is experienced, and the ship control skills are very good, and he pulled the sail and took advantage of the wind to break through the Lang, and after about half an hour, the current finally slowed down, and the hull of the ship stabilized, and there was an open river in front of him, and the banks on both sides were patches of reeds, swaying like water with the wind, looking extremely comfortable.

Xu Zizhen helped Liu Feng up and said with a smile: "There's nothing to see now, I think you better go into the cabin and take a rest, tsk...... A good little white face has become a little green face. ”

Liu Feng couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Xu, you ......"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of bangs in the quiet riverbank, and then more than a dozen small boats suddenly jumped out of the vast reeds, like arrows and quickly towards the cargo ship, this section of the river has no wind and no Lang, and several strong men on those small boats paddled together with oars, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the cargo ship, and the ship was sandwiched in the middle of the encirclement.

Xu Zizhen's heart sank: Not good! It's really coming!

He had never seen a boat robbed by water bandits in his life, and he had always thought that water bandits had to be cautious and sneaky, at most a small boat slipped up a few thieves to rob him, but he didn't expect this Hubei territory to be so violent, and there were more than a dozen ships in each boat, and there must be more than 50 people in total.

Lao Tzu a dozen fifty? How the is this played?

Liu Feng also saw it, and suddenly his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "Water ...... Water bandits? ”

Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, and without saying a word, he stuffed Liu Fengsui into the cabin, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and find a place to hide, don't let them see you." ”

Liu Feng hurriedly nodded in agreement, and was just about to get out of the cabin when he suddenly turned his head and asked, "What about you, Brother Xu?" ”

Xu Zizhen impatiently pressed him in: "Don't be wordy, go in!" Then he slammed the hatch shut, and turned and hurried back to the deck.

Shopkeeper Liu also found something strange at this time, and was immediately frightened, stumbling to Xu Zizhen's side, clutching him tightly as if he had caught a life-saving straw, and said in a panic: "Brother Xu, this is ...... How good is that? ”

More than a dozen ropes with hooks suddenly threw up on the sides of the boat on both sides, and then in a burst of excited and high-pitched shouts, dozens of strong men climbed onto the boat like apes, they were dressed in short clothes, barefoot, and each holding a sharp knife in their hands, surrounding Xu Zizhen and Shopkeeper Liu.

Xu Zizhen glanced at these men around him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu, leave it to me." ”

"What a big breath, just up to you?" A middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the group of bandits, with a short figure and gloomy eyes, looking at Xu Zizhen coldly, followed by a person, who was on the wrong boat last night.

The man glanced at Xu Zizhen and sneered: "Boy, you are not small, since yesterday I knew that Dao Ye was here to step on the plate to explore the way, and today he actually dared to go on the road, it seems that I am afraid that it will not work if I don't teach you a lesson." ”

Xu Zizhen glanced at him, ignored it, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Meng! ”

"Uncle!" Li Meng suddenly jumped from behind the cabin, jumped over with a cable, and stood firmly beside Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen glanced at the group of water bandits in front of him, and said lightly: "Tighten the hatch!" ”

Li Meng tightened the knife in his hand, nodded and said, "Yes!" Then he helped Shopkeeper Liu into the cabin, closed the cabin door with his backhand, and stood firmly outside the door.

The middle-aged man looked up and smiled: "Interesting, really interesting!" He glanced at Xu Zizhen and said coldly, "Lao Tzu only wants money and doesn't kill him, so the acquaintance quickly got out of the way, and Lao Tzu moved his things and left." ”

Xu Zizhen pulled out the knife and carried it casually, and said with a smile: "Okay, just come and move." ”

The man saw that he looked fearless, but hesitated, but Xu Zizhen was too young, and he looked so thin, even if the knife in his hand looked very good, he couldn't see any deterrent.

Just when he hesitated, Xu Zizhen suddenly broke off and rushed over, he knew very well that the enemy must strike first, and the thief must capture the king first, only by taking down the middle-aged man who is the leader, these water bandits can stop.

None of the bandits expected that Xu Zizhen would dare to take the lead in such a situation, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, until he rushed into the crowd menacingly, they reacted, and suddenly there was an uproar, and they hurriedly waved their knives to catch up.

The middle-aged man in the lead couldn't help but be stunned: How can this kid say that he will fight? It's not according to the number of rivers and lakes at all!
