Chapter 231: Water Bandits
"The helmsman listens to the order, swings the rudder in place! The sailman blows the wind and opens both sails at full speed. "At the same time, the boatman went to help set sail!
Wan Qiyang immediately ran into the cabin and asked everyone to hold on to something that could float, ready to abandon the ship at any time. Song Changqing had to follow Wan Qiyang's side to protect him at this time, and when Wan Qiyang went on the deck again, he had already found that there were four sand boats around the bird boat approaching their bird boat, and after approaching a certain distance, they no longer approached, and they could clearly see that some people naturally appeared on the four boats.
Because there is rain and fog on the river, the distance between the two sides is very close, and the sand boat is a flat-bottomed boat, which is light but very low. Just now, because Wan Qiyang reminded the boatman, and the boatman responded in time, he opened the underwater person who was just about to chisel through the bottom of their boat, of course, the bottom of the water is not as free as on land, and there is a great current when the hull rotates in place, so the person under the water naturally has to give up, otherwise it is still a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, this group of people had no choice but to surround them from all sides, and prepare to fight at close range, because at this time each of the robbers had a long spear shaft in his hand and a barb on it, which was obviously a sharp weapon that could pierce the hull of the ship and hook the side of the ship, and some of them had longbows, and they were well armed.
At this time, someone on one of the sand boats shouted, "Listen, the people on the bird boat listen, we are the Yangtze River water tyrants, and those who know each other hurry up to dock the boat, we only rob money and do not kill people." If we don't land right away, we'll start attacking. ”
Wan Qiyang heard this person speak with a Shandong accent, but he didn't expect that this water bandit still has Shandong people, could it be someone from Shuibo Liangshan? But at this time, they can't waste time thinking about this, the boatman is also a little scared at this time, he really hasn't met a water bandit, this first encounter was almost sunk by someone, fortunately, this boy found out about this problem first.
"Childe, what should I do?"
The boatman asked him, as if he was looking for a support for himself.
"Brother, now that there are many of them, and they are familiar with the water, if we are approached by them and get on the boat, there is a way, but I am afraid that they still want to destroy the hull and force everyone to go ashore. What's more, we still have female dependents on the ship, brother, we will listen to your orders! At this time, Song Changqing had to say his suggestion first, and then let Wan Qiyang decide.
"Childe, why don't I tell them that we are returning from an empty ship............" The boatman also wanted to explain to those water bandits, but was stopped by Wan Qiyang to continue!
"It's useless, they won't believe it, boatman, tell them we'll land right away, we have no other way now, I'll keep you alive!" Brother Song, let Sister Irene and her younger siblings all change into robes and cover their whole bodies including their heads, and Irene mixed in with them, waiting for the opportunity to move. "Wan Qiyang can only take one step at a time!
The boat family can only follow the advice of Wan Qiyang Gongzi, after all, the bandits who are not preaching on the other side now, if they really do it, the consequences will be unimaginable, after all, those water bandits are outlaws, these barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, they are relieved when they die, and if they die, they will really die in vain.
Under the operation of the sailors, the bird boat gradually descended to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there were several Jiangxin islands near the mouth of the sea, just because the area of this island was not large or small, and it was often subject to unstable changes in the amount of river water, so no one wanted to live on it, so this caused the place occupied by the water bandits, which caused no one to manage.
The bird boat was much larger, and just dropped anchor at a backwater bay, and the bandits' sand boats were docked to the shore with them, and they were firmly anchored with several ropes with iron hooks.
At the beginning, the sailors and the boatmen got off the boat, which is also the experience of the group of bandits, there may have been cases in the past where the boatmen abandoned the guests and fled regardless of their own boats, so now it is to let the sailors and the boatmen get off the ship first, so that there will be no phenomenon of the boat being driven away, and this ship can be regarded as a kind of harvest!
Then Song Changqing and the others got off the boat first, Wan Qianyang then jumped off the boat, and then let Xiaoqian and Xing'er, Cui'er and Irene get off the boat, and after they got ashore, Wan Qianyang and Song Changqing and others involuntarily surrounded the four of them in the center.
Everyone got off the boat, and the bandits got on board and began to search for anyone else to hide, and to see what they had learned from the ship. As a result, more than ten minutes passed, and someone said loudly on the boat: "Third brother, there is nothing on the ship." ”
At this time, Wan Qiyang knew that it was the leader of this gang of water bandits who came out to speak.
"Who is the head of you here! Come out and speak. ”
Originally, Song Changqing was about to step forward to deal with this situation, Wan Qiyang stepped forward to block them behind him, and immediately picked up the words of the small leader of the other party's water bandits,
"This hero, today you are gone, this is an empty boat to return, I and a few others are all taking a free boat to the way, listening to the accent of the hero just now should be a fellow from Shandong, right? Wouldn't he be a hero of Shuibo Liangshan? Wan Qiyang knows how to find a breakthrough, and he used to work as a psychological counselor in the student union club during his college years, so this kind of communication is not stressful for him.
But Xiao Qian and Xing'er watched Wan Qiyang take the initiative to stand up, but they were quite worried in their hearts, they actually thought about it at the moment of getting off the boat, if there were bandits who dared to do wrong to them, they had already chosen to die rather than give in.
"Oh! How many of our brothers are from Shuibo Liangshan, this son, what's the matter? Do you know the brother of Liang Shan? Hahaha...."At this time, this Shandong man smiled very simply, because he thought in his heart that although he looked tall, he was a white and pure scholar, and even the people behind him looked like Jianghu people than him, how could he know Shuibo Liangshan's brothers.
"Haha, there's nothing funny about that, I wonder when you're going to let us go? You see that we are all passers-by, and we are not from the government, what are you going to do now? Wan Qiyang thought that it was best to talk about the price.
"I can't be the master of this question, but since everyone is here, it's better to go to our mountain as a guest, don't be polite!" This little leader of the bandits arched his hand at their group! "Please! When we get to the top of the mountain, we have to let our big boss have the final say, and we have to offend everyone. ”
As he spoke, all of their men held black hoods and motioned for everyone to put them on.
Because there were about 20 people in this trip, although they added the boatman and sailors, but the other party had weapons in their hands, there were nearly 30 people, and there were not many people on the boat, but there were people on the shore to answer, the key was that Wan Qiyang and their group had female dependents, so they didn't dare to make this bet.
"Well, since the host is so enthusiastic, let's take the host's will, let's take a walk and see where their master is sacred, so hospitable can be regarded as a courtesy!" But at this moment, as soon as Wan Qiyang's voice fell, he heard a sharp voice shouting: "Wow! And! There are among them! ”
Just this sentence immediately made everyone nervous, Wan Qiyang was also a little nervous at the moment, but he was still a little angry and shouted: "Who the hell is making a fuss there, Lao Tzu's wife is also something you can covet?" This little brother, I just talked about this hero of Shuibo Liangshan, wouldn't this be like this? What's wrong? Do you really want to rob someone? ”
