428. The Raid on the River

Sangou and Huang Boss of Meizizhou paid close attention to the big wooden boat carrying grain from upstream, which was full of grain, and pressed the waterline of the big wooden boat low.

With a wave of Boss Huang's hand, a clipper slid out silently in the reeds in the dark night and approached the big wooden boat.

When the clipper reached the diagonal front of the big wooden boat's usual course, it stopped, let go of four or five men in tight black leather jackets, and then the clipper left and rowed a little downstream.

Several men in black slowly swam in the water towards the course in the direction of the bow of the big wooden boat, and the big wooden boat also slowly drifted forward with the current.

As he approached, the sound of devils drinking and laughing came from the cabin of the big wooden ship, and only one boatman was left in the bow and stern to watch, and the stern one was holding the rudder and controlling the direction of the ship.

When the big ship arrived at the predetermined route, the black-clothed men in the water happened to intersect with the big ship, and four or five people stuck to the two sides and ends of the big ship.

Suddenly, one of the men in black on each side of the boat took out a grenade, knocked it on the boat, and threw it into the cabin.

The cabin did not wait for the explosion, but a puff of smoke, which turned out to be two smoke bombs, and the three devils in the cabin immediately couldn't stand it anymore and immediately rushed out, coughing and waving the air with their hands.

When the devil was about to scold, three strands of rope flew up from the water, like a sheep, and the circle of two strands of rope accurately lassoed the two devils.

The rope caught the body of the devil, immediately tightened, and pulled towards the river, and the two devils were pulled into the river by the rope before they could stand firmly.

The third strand of rope was also very accurate, and when I was about to lasso the devil, I didn't expect the devil to stumble on the boat, probably because he had just drunk drunk.

This one stumbled, just to avoid the rope, the man in black was so angry that he threw the rope away, put his hands on the low boat, turned over, and got on the boat.

The devil who had just escaped being caught in the rope, just stood still after stumbling, and when he looked closely, the two companions around him were gone, and he heard the sound of water just now, could it be that they fell into the water?

Just as he was about to call his companion's name, he suddenly tightened his back, and then his body soared into the air, and like a backflip, he was also carried backwards and fell into the water.

The two shipwrights at the head and tail of the big ship were Chinese, and they didn't have time to react when they saw such a rapid change in these short seconds, and when they reacted, they were about to shout.

A human head appeared on the surface of the water, and at the same time the muzzle of a barge gun was pointed at them, and a voice was heard: "Don't move!" ”

Needless to say, these people in black are the people of Sangou and Boss Huang, that is, Peng Changhua, Zhang Zhiguang, Xia Chen, Chen Yanxin, and Dakui, who are both young and strong, and have good water nature.

Zhang Zhiguang and Xia Chen each climbed the mountain from the bow and tail of the boat to the boat, picked up the long bamboo pole supporting the boat on the side of the boat, aimed at the devil who was struggling to emerge in the river, and poked it down with a bamboo pole.

The two devils who were tied to their waists with ropes had almost no chance of coming up again, because they were pulled down by Dakui Chen Yanxin, Dakui and Chen Yanxin were both natives of Nanjing, and their water nature was very good.

And the devil who was hugged by Peng Changhua and fell into the river had no chance to emerge from the water alive, so he stabbed Changhua into the heart in the water, and the devil just struggled twice, as soft as a slim, and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

The people who normally fell into the water were desperately trying to run upwards, trying to surface and escape, and these two devils were the same, completely ignoring the rope on their bodies and pulling down.

It is estimated that even if you know that there is a rope, you will not be able to untie it in a short time, let alone be calm enough to sink into the water with the strength of the rope to untie the rope.

The devil kept struggling to go up in the water, while Da Kui and Chen Yanxin followed the rope and pulled the rope close to the devil, and as soon as they touched the devil, they immediately pulled out the dagger and stabbed at the devil for a while, and they quickly put their heads out of the water and breathed in the precious air.

After a while, the devil who was pulling water indiscriminately was stabbed with a knife, slowly lost his strength, and sank to the bottom of the river, Da Kui and Chen Yanxin quickly took Zhang Zhiguang and Xia Chen's hands and were dragged onto the big boat like dogs.

Changhua also got on the boat, and the five of them were so cold that they quickly took off the ghost skin clothes on their bodies, which were still the dead ghost ideas of the three dogs, and sewed those horse skins into leather clothes, saying that they could be waterproof and cold.

Bullshit, I knew that it was better not to wear this horse skin, not only could it not be waterproof and cold, but it also swelled in the water, and I was almost dragged to death.

After everyone quickly took off the horse's skin, let the boatman find some clothes or sacks, and put them on his body indiscriminately, I went, this task is really not done by people, it is too cold in winter, and it is soaked in water, and I almost froze to death, but fortunately, I moved just now.

But this thing is really going well, not only did he kill the devil, but he also did it silently, and he did it beautifully. Everyone went into the cabin and picked up the wine that the devil had not finished drinking, and poured it all over the place, hoping to borrow some wine to drive away the cold.

I didn't expect the devil's wine to be strong at all, just like drinking white water, it seems to be lightly mixed with water, what kind of bullshit wine is this, it is not as strong as the rice wine of the Jiangnan people.

Changhua let the boatman drop anchor, and after fixing the big boat, he picked up the ship's lamp and shook it a few times in the reeds of Meizizhou, and many small boats were rowed out of the reeds immediately.

After the small boat approached the big boat, they threw Changhua their clothes first, and the others immediately began to carry the grain, filling seven or eight small boats before the big boat was transported with all the grain.

Changhua said to the two boatmen that they should either ask them to find their own way out, or follow them into Meizizhou, because now the big ship will be scuttled and sunk.

The two boatmen had no choice but to agree to enter Meizizhou with everyone, otherwise, they would definitely be caught by the devil when they went back, and they didn't have any lives.

After Changhua sank the big boat into the river, everyone took the last boat together and returned to the reeds of Meizizhou, perfect!

Sangou and Boss Huang arranged for people to secretly bury most of the rest of the grain, except for distributing some of the food, into the holes dug in advance.

At a simple celebration banquet the next day, Sangou comforted the two poor boatmen and asked some basic information about the upstream.

These two shipwrights happen to be two fathers and sons, the father's name is Lao He, and the son's name is Xiao He, who is a native of Wujiang Town, Anhui Province, and was originally engaged in shipping from Anhui to Nanjing, and was employed on a big boat.
