Chapter 137: Life and Death
Dark clouds obscured the brilliance of the stars and moon, and the night sky became pitch black, as if it could not bear to see the killing on the river.
After the successful assassination, they hid on the dock and infiltrated the merchant ships of Baotongyuan at night...... The reason why they didn't choose other houses was because the ship was the largest, and because the characters on the ship were complex, and these two were very easy for them to hide.
When they get out of the city smoothly and get out of danger, the pirates will naturally not let go of the big fat sheep of 'Baotongyuan'...... Their job is robbery, so they are naturally familiar with it. First, he sent a secret signal in the white day, beckoning his companions who answered outside the city to follow, until the night was dark, far away from the people, and then he suddenly moved and began to kill people and set fires.
There were indeed twenty or thirty bodyguards on board, but these would-be robbers were elite masters and outlaws who could enter the provincial capital to assassinate high-ranking officials. Cutting melons and vegetables, he cleaned up the bodyguards who could only show up and controlled the situation.
Then the brutes began to burn and loot, destroying the silver women...... They had already discovered that there was a beautiful lady on the third floor of the ship, so the bandit leader rushed up, killed two bodyguards and a little maid who blocked the way, and then looked at the legendary little beauty with great enthusiasm.
Who knew that when she saw it, the bandit leader was shocked all over, his blood was boiling, and his heart was already crazy...... He had never seen such a beautiful woman, but he felt that he had entered a fairyland, facing a fairy in white standing in the clouds, and forgot for a moment that he had come to commit a crime, and introduced himself at a loss: "I, my name is Itato Shichiro...... Before he finished speaking, he was crushed to death by silence falling from the sky...... In fact, he is the top master among the Japanese robbers, if it is usual, he will never be killed by one hundred and twenty pounds. All it takes is a nice turnaround kick that can make silence come and go. But this Panmen Shichiro brother was dumbfounded when he saw the flower girl, and he was hit by Shen Mo without paying attention for a while, and his knee was on the back of his head.
We know that no matter how high our kung fu is, we can't practice there, so this master of the masters died in a daze.
His men were actually wreaking havoc below, and the ship was full of ghosts and wolves, not paying any attention to the movement above...... said that Shen Mo heard 'Miss go quickly', thinking that it was a picture screen calling for help, but when he went down, it turned out that the picture screen was not on the boat, but he couldn't leave Miss Yin behind...... He actually saw Miss Yin in the pawnshop that time, although it was only a glimpse, but those bright eyes impressed him so deeply that as soon as he saw the eyes of this little girl, he already recognized her.
Although it is not a picture screen, it should be saved or saved...... Even a woman she doesn't know can't be left behind and ruined by the widows, right?
He doesn't have the ability to save others anymore, otherwise even this person will have to die of exhaustion. Silence tied her to himself and jumped into the water with a thud.
Fortunately, the two of them were not alone, and there were people jumping into the water in the front and back of the big boat, so they were not conspicuous in the crowd of dumplings.
The moment the two fell into the water, Miss Yin stretched out her hands and feet, trying to grab something, but the result was ...... I didn't catch anything, so I could only curl up my body like a kitten and hug myself...... This was the foresight of silence, if Miss Yin had been asked to face her, she would have hugged him tightly like an octopus by now...... On land, this is an unimaginable blessing, but when it is in the water, it is definitely a move that ends together.
When the deep river water counteracted the force of the downward rush, Shen Mo was not in a hurry to float to the surface, but a beautiful reflexive rush, pushing his body under the boat, the action was chic and handsome, and the clumsiness of Fang Cai on the boat was completely different.
Only then did he cling to the bottom of the boat and slowly showed his head.
The moment he poked out of the water, he reached out to cover Miss Yin's mouth, and forcibly held back her involuntary cry for help.
He looked down and saw that Miss Yin was looking up, her hands slapping the water, her eyes full of fear of death and nostalgia for life. A trace of pity suddenly rose in her heart, and she whispered to her, "Trust me, we will be fine." "I thought she would be like in a romance novel, and she would be quiet...... But he didn't want people to still struggle violently, and a pair of small hands broke his big hands.
Shen Mo looked down and really wanted to hit his head to death, but he covered his mouth and nose together, so he quickly let go.
Miss Yin gasped violently, and before she could even out her breath, she grabbed the box that was floating on the side, but she was always almost out of reach, so anxious that she cried and said, "Hurry up...... Get it back......"
Shen Mo turned to one side, then reached out to take the box back, and threw himself at the five bodies that this Miss Yin really admired...... But when he saw the scene happening on the river, the whole person was stunned.
After the shock calmed down for a while, Miss Yin did not ask him for the box, but looked around with a frightened face, only to see those Japanese robbers on the shore, wantonly shooting the passengers who jumped into the river with bows and arrows. In the midst of a strange laugh like a night owl, the man in the water screamed and sank into a floating corpse. The surface of the river was quickly dyed red, and the faces of horror and despair flashed in front of her eyes, and the vivid lives disappeared in front of her eyes, and the smell of blood stimulated her to gag for a while.
She quickly turned her head, just in time to see the silent face, only to see that under the red reflection, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and the anger on his face had condensed, becoming something called bitter hatred.
"Close your eyes." The silent voice was cold and hard, with a force that could not be disobeyed, making her involuntarily obedient and close her eyes.
Silent himself stared straight at the river, the beasts were raging in front of his eyes, the blood was churning in front of his eyes, life disappeared in his eyes, but he didn't move at all, what faint blood, what weakness, all were thrown aside, only pure anger was left in his heart, the anger that rushed into the nine heavens, all the timidity, fear, selfishness, and retreat in his heart were burned clean, and there was nothing left.
Some things that are deeply rooted in the bottom of my heart have been completely cleared at this moment, and Shen Mo finally understands a simple truth - it is understandable to chase fame and fortune in peacetime, but in the face of the disaster of the country and the nation, there is only one mission as a man, that is, to protect the family and defend the country! The rest of the flies must all give way.
When he put aside his personal gains and losses, he immediately became more powerful than ever, and even the mountains of corpses and blood in front of him could not affect the clarity of his mind. After thinking about it for a while, Shen Mo had already considered the current situation in his heart...... There is no point of recovery here, and what we need to do now is to prevent these pirates from harming the villagers elsewhere...... These Japanese robbers are about 200 people, and it is impossible for them to attack Shaoxing City, which has a complete city defense, and they will definitely choose relatively weak rural areas and towns as the targets of robbery.
The best way to do this is to eliminate them. The problem is that the city of Shaoxing is forty miles away, although in order to prevent the Japanese invaders, the Tang prefect ordered the construction of a beacon tower, but when he took office, it was still too short to build a complete building, and the side facing Hangzhou only extended fifteen miles outside the city.
In other words, he had to travel at least twenty-five miles before he could send an alarm to the city, and then the city would have to confirm the assembly and departure...... With the skills of those villagers, if they can arrive in two hours, they will burn high incense. Coupled with the time he went to report the news, this gang of would-be robbers could wreak havoc for at least half a day.
Within a radius of thirty miles, there was one town and two villages, and if the Japanese invaded these three places, the townspeople in the city would not be able to rush to them in any case.
'They have to be lured away!' Shen Mo secretly said anxiously, but one person can't do two things at the same time, and someone has to divide the labor with him, looking down at Miss Yin with her eyes closed, and secretly said: "It's really not good, and I can only count on her." At this moment, he made up his mind to lure the Wako away no matter what, even if he died in this scene.
With the idea made, the next step is to wait for the Wako to leave...... These wolf-goblin goblins are all soaked in water, and they silently believe that if they move rashly, they will not escape the eyes of the other party.
Only through the shadow of the bottom of the boat can you avoid those vicious gazes.
The two of them clung to the bottom of the boat motionlessly, but fortunately, in June, although the river was cold but not biting, they could still hold on to silence. But a weak woman like Miss Yin couldn't stand it for a long time, her teeth began to chatter, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Shen Mo has already made up his mind to die, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to any bullshit, this thing has been pressing him for many years, does Lao Tzu still have scruples when he is temporary?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his arm and gently wrapped around her delicate body, Miss Yin trembled, and wanted to say: 'Don't want this, ......' but her throat seemed to be frozen, and her voice couldn't be choked.
As soon as Shen Mo's arms tightened, he hugged her tightly in his arms, but there was no trace of thought in his heart, and he didn't move again, just hugged her tightly.
Being held tightly in his arms, Miss Yin was so ashamed that she was about to faint, and when she boarded, Xia Fei's cheeks were hot...... I don't know if it was due to shyness or silent body temperature, her frozen body gradually warmed up, and she also had some strength in her body.
She didn't dare to make a sound, and was about to push away Shen Mo hard, but he covered her mouth again, and the girl was completely helpless, and said in her heart, Why are you like this?
But I heard him whisper in his ear: "Don't make a sound, they are gone." ”
The girl had no choice but to remain motionless and let him hold her.
