Chapter 224, The Adventures of Wang Dali (4)
Several people approached, and Wang Dali fell to the ground on his back, retreating with both hands and feet, while shouting for help. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hehe, you call it, there is no one around here, you just cut your throat and no one will save you!" Li Mazi sneered.
"Hurry up and take care of him! Lest you have too many dreams at night! Liu Laogen said.
In the retreat, Wang Dali's hand touched something, which should be a stone, and he immediately grabbed this stone and threw it at Li Mazi, who was closest to him. Li Mazi flashed, and the stone fell short, but Li Mazi flashed a little faster, and also slipped and fell, and blocked a few people behind.
Wang Dali took the opportunity to get up and ran away, although he had been hungry for a few days and had no strength in his feet, but now it was a fatal time, so he could only grit his teeth and run. After only running a few steps, Wang Dali felt out of breath, and his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his throat. And at this time he also heard the footsteps of the pursuers, getting closer and closer, and heard their shouting and scolding: "You can't run away, obediently accept your fate!" ”
Of course, Wang Dali is reluctant to "accept his fate", although in the current situation, he really can't outrun those people, if it is ordinary, maybe not necessarily, but now it is different. Because compared to Wang Dali, who was extremely lacking in energy, those people were full, and Wang Dali was not their first target, just in this forest, they had already eaten two people. The protein in these people makes them not lack energy, so they can run significantly faster than Wang Dali.
Liu Laogen was already very close, he stretched the stick in his hand between Wang Dali's feet, but as soon as he tripped, Wang Dali fell into the mud, struggling but couldn't get up again.
Liu Laogen took back his stick, stepped forward, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry!" Then he took the stick in both hands, and raised it high above his head, intending to kill Wang Dali.
At this moment, there was a shout from the front: "What are you doing!" ”
Liu Laogen turned his head to look over there, and saw a few young people dressed as sturdy writers appeared at the turn of the road, and the two leaders had already drawn out their long knives with a cold light. Liu Laogen knew that it was not good, and he couldn't care about killing Wang Dali anymore, so he dropped the stick and turned around and ran.
The others also threw away their sticks and ran.
The leading man shouted, "Catch them up and capture them alive!" A few of them rushed over.
And the leading family member put away the knife, walked up to Wang Dali, half-bent down, and asked, "This brother, what's going on?" ”
It's just that his question was not answered. After a closer look, he found that Wang Dali had passed out in a coma.
"Liu De, is this person dead?" Someone asked.
Liu De immediately stretched out his hand in front of Wang Dali's nose and probed it, then turned around and replied, "Major General, it's just that I fainted." I guess I was hungry for a while, and after running for a while, I fainted. When you wake up, just give him some gruel. ”
The so-called "Major General" is naturally Zheng Sen. They had just come back from Songjiang, but the wharf in Yanziji had broken down in the flood, so they had to go ashore from another place, and then took a shortcut to Guanyinmen, but they didn't want to encounter such a thing.
At this time, several "family members" had already arrested Li Mazi and others. Zheng Sen's "family members" are actually the foundation of the past factory protection team and model army, if you want to talk about martial arts or something, it is not necessarily stronger than the personal soldiers of some generals, but in terms of physical strength and endurance, especially the ability of long-distance running, there are really not many people who can compare to these guys who have to put on armor and bring weapons every day to run ten miles of cross-country running. Although Li Mazi and the others ate people, their nutritional status was much better than Wang Dali's, and they were able to run better than Wang Dali's, but compared with the soldiers of the Model Army, it was still heaven and earth, so a few guards easily caught up with them, knocked them to the ground, and then tied them back with ropes.
"Liu De, you go and interrogate them. Let Dr. Lee show this one. Zheng Sen said.
Dr. Li is also an old man of the Zheng family, and Zheng Zhilong followed them when he was still a pirate. In terms of medical skills, Dr. Li is not bad, although he is not a famous doctor, but he is still very competent to deal with some minor injuries and illnesses when looking at general headaches and brain fevers. Therefore, after Zheng Sen was in charge of Taiwan's affairs, Zheng Zhilong asked Dr. Li to follow Zheng Sen. It's not just about his medical skills, it's about his loyalty. Now Zheng Sen estimates that after the Jiangnan disaster, there is likely to be an epidemic, so he brought him with him.
Dr. Li walked over, squatted down, looked at Wang Dali's face, rolled up one of his sleeves, stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Dali's middle hard. Then Wang Dali slowly woke up.
……
Later, Wang Dali got on Zheng Sen's boat, which had nothing to do with any life-saving grace, because this was the only way to make him full, not only him, but also many people, also got on the Zheng family's boat, and the boat dragged them to Songjiang, and after stopping for a day, they changed to a sea boat.
The conditions on board the sea were not too good, and the cabins were crowded with people. In order to be able to load more people at a time, the people of the Zheng family modified the fortune ships that were specially used to transport people, and the entire cabin was full of hammocks on the upper and lower four floors, sleeping on it and swaying, at the beginning of the period, Wang Dali was not used to it at all, he always couldn't sleep, it was easy to fall asleep, and he always dreamed of falling from a height.
Because the cabins are crammed with people, hygiene and health matters are crucial. In order to avoid the diseases caused by the confined environment, a large vent was cut in the deck to lead to the cabin, and the toilets were arranged in a different place (in fact, the two boards at the stern of the ship were hung on the sea), and all the people, unless it was raining, or there were strong winds and waves, they were required to take turns to go to the deck to ventilate, and meals were generally also on the deck. (Unlike Western slave ships, Zheng Sen was not worried that these men would rebel on board.) )
It was on this boat that Wang Dali saw the sea for the first time.
Prior to this, Wang Dali's range of activities had never exceeded thirty miles from Zhaozhuang, let alone the sea, even a river as big as the Yangtze River, which he had never seen. When he first took a boat from Nanjing to Songjiang, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dislocated when he saw the Yangtze River. However, although the Yangtze River is large, at least he can still see the other side, and it is still within his understanding, but the sea is so big that he feels frightened.
Fortunately, there are also some people on the boat that Wang Dali knows, such as Dong Erhei, who also got on the boat, and now under the persecution of hunger, he can no longer care about looking for his wife and children. Others said to him: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, as long as there is fate, there will always be a time to meet again." Dong Erhei also lied to himself like this, but on the day he went to sea, looking at the boundless sea, he finally understood that this time, I was afraid that he would never have a chance to find his wife and children again, and he couldn't help but cry like rain. However, when the dinner bell rang, Dong Erhei immediately wiped away his tears and hurried to line up.
After a few days at sea, the fleet stopped at a place called Penghu to resupply and disembark some of the sick before setting off again. This voyage was quite long, and the fleet was at sea for more than ten days, so much so that Wang Dali wondered if it was going to run to the edge of the sky.
But the port of Manila, as the seafarers were talking about, finally appeared. The fleet entered the harbor, and the displaced people began to disembark.
When they arrived at the wharf, Wang Dali stood up according to the instructions of the people, and someone came to count the number, and then a person came out and said a lot of things to them, but Wang Dali didn't understand a word of these words. But he's not in a hurry, he'll do whatever everyone wants anyway.
After the man finished shouting, someone translated it again in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and this time Wang Dali understood. Boss Jiang, the person who shouted just now, has already paid to rent them, and now they are Boss Jiang's tenants. Boss Jiang has a large field outside the city, and it needs people to cultivate it. I hope they can work harder when they work, and Boss Jiang will definitely not lose everyone. In the end, if someone is willing to be Boss Jiang's housekeeper and shoot bandits with a gun, then Boss Jiang will definitely guarantee that he will have fish to eat every day!
Then some men came and led Wang Dali, and they left the harbor and walked inland along a gravel road.
"The boss has prepared a banquet for everyone in the Zhuangzi, everyone hurry up." The man leading the way shouted.
Wang Dali walked and looked around, everything here made him feel fresh, for example, the trees here grow very strangely, one by one, only the trunk grows, not branches, but directly from the top of the high trunk grows huge leaves, for example, a few people over there, with brown hair, eyes are actually green, although when they were on the ship, those crew members told them about all kinds of strange people overseas, but they looked like this...... This...... Is this also human?
In addition to those who don't know if they are human, there are also some people who are as black as black charcoal all over. Except for the whites of the eyes, Wang Dali could hardly find a little white place in these people.
"Hey, Erhei, look at people, that's called black, look at you, Bai took such a name." Wang Dali couldn't help but joke with Dong Erhei.
Soon, Wang Dali discovered that in addition to those strange-looking people, there is another thing in this place that is completely different from Daming, that is, there are almost no people here who do not carry knives and guns with them. This reminded him of what Boss Jiang said earlier, if anyone is willing to be a housekeeper and fight bandits with a gun.
"Erhei, look at the people you met along the way, except for that kind of black charcoal, everyone has knives and guns, I'm afraid this place is not very peaceful, right?" Wang Dali couldn't help but say to Dong Erhei.
"Anyway, it shouldn't be more peaceful than Daming, right?" Dong Erhei said, "At least, I don't think these people look like they can't eat enough, you don't have to worry about someone beating you to eat." ”
