Zhang San didn't care, took out twenty taels from his arms and said, "Iron Bull!" This money is given to you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone else saw Zhang San's generosity, and no one minded, watching Li Kui go downstairs with the money, Zhang San thought in his heart, in the future, when Song Jiang came to Jiangzhou, Li Kui asked him for money, if he took out ten taels, would Li Kui say that he was stingy? It's interesting to think about.

After eating and sending away Dai Zong, everyone went back to the guest room to rest, there was nothing to say all night, the next day the sky was light, everyone simply had breakfast and led the horse to the dock, to the place, found the boat that was set yesterday, the boat owner was an old man named Liu He, saw Zhang San and others riding horses, first sent the horse to the corral of the warehouse, and the people got on the boat.

Then I heard the old man shouting, "Raise the sails, start the boat!" ”

The boatman began to get busy, heheyo yo pulled up the sails, the boat is also a large two small three-sided sail design, the internal warehouse is also similar, Zhang San did not have the interest to visit, a few people stood on the side of the boat and looked at the gradually distant Jiangzhou, thinking about their own thoughts.

Today is blowing the south wind, the direction of the boat is northeast, so slightly adjust the sails, Zhang San will experience what is called smooth wind, after lunch the boat will go to the Wangjiang boundary, Zhang San asked the boat boss, can go to Chizhou at night, if tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the south wind to ensure that three days to reach Yangzhou.

Zhang San nodded with satisfaction, but looking at the blowing south wind, he was nervous for no reason, this spring in the south is much earlier than in the north, and Zhang San is also afraid of delaying the time to plant things.

It's just that it is expected that the affairs of the Zhang family in Taihu Lake will take at least half a month to deal with, Zhang San weighed it for a while, and decided to go to Hangzhou first, delaying the spring sowing is a big deal, as for the Zhang family, they can wait for themselves to plant the peppers and sunflowers and then slowly clean up.

In the middle, except for a few catches, the boat has been unstoppable. Zhang San didn't have any desire to socialize with these people, they all hid in the cabin and didn't come out, and only when they arrived in Chizhou, Chizhou's catch was checked for a quarter of an hour before leaving.

At night, the boat did not stop when it arrived in Chizhou, the boat boss shouted and hung two strings of red lanterns on the bow and stern, Zhang San was strange, just as Li Jun passed by Zhang San and asked, "Do you also sail this night?" ”

Li Jun smiled: "Yes, as long as you are careful at night, nothing is wrong?" ”

Zhang San asked strangely: "But why do I rarely see night boats on the canal?" ”

Li Jun thought about it and said: "Maybe the canal is more narrow and the river is narrow, and it is easier to have accidents when boating at night, and there are few boats on this Yangtze River, and there are not a few boats in one night, so that's why this is the case, right?" ”

Zhang San thought about it, there are indeed this truth, there are many boats in the canal, and you must keep paying attention to the surroundings at night, constantly adjusting the direction of the boats, and holding up two boats that are close to each other, so that it is not cost-effective to walk not far and be tired half dead in a night, this Yangtze River is not the same The water surface is several miles wide, and the speed of the boats is the same, so the safety is greatly increased.

If you think about it, you also remember that there is a sentence 'the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship', which proves that in ancient times, there was the technology and experience of sailing at night, for example, the two strings of lanterns hung by the captain of the ship are a kind of anti-collision equipment.

Of course, Zhang San had no opinion on this, but hoped that the sooner the better, and saw that the river banks on both sides were dark and dreary, and the green mountains during the day were only a phantom at night, except for the sound of the river washing over the hull of the boat, only the boatman shouted to adjust the direction of the sail.

Zhang San got into the cabin and began to rest, hazy and didn't know the time, he heard the shouting outside, and then something hit the boat, Zhang San got up and listened carefully, and could only faintly hear 'Jiang bandits!' Hurry up! Cut off the grappling hook! And there was a whoa-whoa-whoa-wah.

Zhang San hurriedly went out of the warehouse and saw that everyone was also standing on the side of the ship, looking at the black rumbling below, Zhang San grabbed a scurrying sailor and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The sailor said, "There are river bandits robbing the ship, you quickly hide in the cabin!" ”

Zhang San listened to the sound of wow-wows below, it was estimated that there were at least one hundred and ten people, and he was shocked, how to deal with this black light? Li Jun came over and said: "Third brother, there are a few Jiang bandits' boats with nails on their heads, and they have been nailed to the boat, I don't know how many people are down there, why don't we go down and kill them for a while?" ”

Zhang San asked, "How long will it take to get to dawn?" ”

Li Jun looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it will take another hour." ”

Zhang San said: "Everyone disperse and guard the boat, and wait for the rest to talk about it at dawn!" ”

Everyone listened and scattered all over the boat, if there were flying claws coming up, they would cut off the flying claws, and no matter how they shouted, they ignored it, although Pang Wanchun could rely on listening to the sound to distinguish the location, but he only had half of the pot of arrows, but the Jiang bandits didn't know how many there were, so they didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.

However, after Zhang San and others joined, the form of the boat was stable for a while, and the Jiang bandits shouted angrily that they couldn't attack the ship, until the sky gradually brightened Zhang San saw that there were three small boats nailed under his boat, and then there were more than ten other boats tied to the side of the boat, and the merchant ship was surrounded in a whole circle.

The other boatmen were also so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the river bandits below shouted: "Listen to the boat, we only need the goods, don't kill people, and those who know each other hurry up and throw the rope down, otherwise you won't have a piece of armor left when we get on the boat to kill!" We, the Yangtze Gang, talk and talk. ”

When the boat boss heard the Yangtze Gang, his face turned pale with fright and shouted, "It's over." Then he collapsed on the boat, pale.

Zhang San asked, "Is this Yangtze Gang very famous?" ”

The captain of the boat said with a strong spirit: "This Yangzi accomplice is famous, and the robbed ships rarely leave a living mouth, and we are afraid that it will be the end of our encounter today." ”

Zhang San no longer hesitated when he heard this, and said: "Since you are wicked, brothers don't have to keep your hands, hurry up and clean up, so as not to delay our ship." ”

When the brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun heard this, they immediately jumped off the boat with a harpoon, and Li Jun said: "Third brother, just take a look!" He also jumped down, Gan Xingtai said with a smile: "Let the uncle also move his muscles!" ”

Shi Wengong and Wang Huan also jumped down, Pang Wanchun picked out those who shouted the happiest and those who held bows and arrows on the boat, and for a while the ghosts cried wolves, and the boat boss was almost emptied when he got up to look down, and a few who saw the opportunity jumped into the river and swam desperately to the shore.

Gan Xintai came to the boat with a big man and shouted, "Old man, hurry up and throw a rope down!" What a daze! ”

The boat boss immediately nodded and said, "Okay, just throw it!" That's throwing. ”

Gan Xintai got on the boat and threw the big man he was carrying onto the deck, and said, "San Lang, this is the bandit leader, I didn't run away if I wanted to!" ”

When the big man saw the people on the boat, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "A good man spare his life, a good man spare his life!" ”

Zhang San thought about it and asked, "Did the group of people in Chizhou tell you that they came to rob our ship?" ”

The big man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, yes, they said that there are a few good horses on this ship that are worth at least five thousand, let the small ones come and grab them." ”

Zhang San made a movement to wipe his neck, Gan Xingtai carried people to the side of the boat, turned around and asked hesitantly, "Did San Lang throw it into the river?" ”

Zhang San's face darkened, knowing that he was talking about the incident he talked about last time, but as the saying goes, specific events should be treated specifically, thinking about it and saying: "Kill them and throw them on the boat!" Float to wherever you go. ”

The boatman propped the boat open, repaired it briefly, and continued on the road.
