Chapter 149: Taking Refuge in My Buddha

The pirates went all the way east, and the idyllic scenery along the way, as in the paintings, caused these beasts to howl and wolf, and swore that they would regroup when they returned, and that they would come back and loot for a good life.

The leader of the Japanese invaders also improvised a poem: "Bai said that the green trees and gray tiles are so rich, and the gold, silver, treasures and beauties are beautiful." Saliva flowed, and they all rushed home! It was widely praised and sung.

Singing all the way, I unconsciously arrived at the wide Jianhu Lake. When they sailed to the center of the lake, suddenly the sound of killing on both sides of the river, the sound of drums shook the sky, and small boats carrying officers and soldiers drove out from the bays everywhere and outflanked them in all directions.

The singing came to an abrupt end, and even the most stupid of the widows found out that they had been tricked, and they all looked at the leader in horror. If you want to say that the leader is calm, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Leave them alone, row hard to the east!" ”

His judgment was right, although there were many ships of the officers and soldiers, they were all very small, and they could not pose a threat to them at all, but only followed closely around them, besieging them without attacking them.

The boat of the Japanese invaders had a lot of draft, and the speed could not be increased at all, and more and more Ming troops surrounded them. The leader was panicking when he suddenly heard his men shouting, "Our ship is leaking!" When I looked down, I saw a few large bubbling springs coming from the bottom of the boat.

The pirates hurriedly blocked it, but they couldn't stop it, and it leaked into the small half of the boat after a while...... The same is true for the remaining four ships.

Seeing that the shipwreck was inevitable, the pirates jumped into the water one after another, and what awaited them were the birds, bows and arrows of the officials and soldiers, and even fishing nets...... Although the combat effectiveness is embarrassing, but when this kind of grabbing credit and making profits, these old soldiers and young masters and soldiers stared at each other. They didn't come close to the pirates, they just shot from all directions from a distance.

The pirates floated in the water, without even a shelter except for the bodies of their accomplices, and tried to swim over to fight, but were shot by the bows and arrows of the officials. There is really no way to enter, there is no way to escape, and there is really nothing else to do except wait for death.

In the midst of a bang and smoke, the Japanese were shot and hit by arrows one after another, and the miserable howls resounded across the lake, and the death was extremely ugly...... Although the bird gun is too troublesome to make and the shooting accuracy is not high, it is still very comfortable to use it to fight the water dogs from a high position.

It only took half an hour for the lake to be full of floating corpses. The unscrupulous and arrogant Japanese Kou were finally killed and wounded, and even the invincible leader was caught in fishing nets and became prisoners of the Ming army.

Looking at the river stained red by blood, he silently raised his hands to the sky and shouted: "Those brothers and sisters who died at the hands of these beasts, you can rest in peace!" ”

The sinking of the Japanese ship was not an accident, of course, but a silent ploy of chiseling the bottoms of several ships in advance and plugging them with cork. Then it is estimated that the ship will be pretended to be defeated, and the ship will naturally be left to the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, an ambush was set up on Jianhu Lake, and a good diver among the fishermen was sent to wait here. They waited for the Japanese soldiers to arrive, and then they dived under the water and pulled out all the big logs at the bottom of the boat. Before the soldiers could figure out what was going on, the ship sank.

As a result, hundreds of Japanese soldiers, who had no choice but to do so, were taken down so easily.

Yu Dayou, who was beside him, stretched out his thumb and praised Shen Mo and said: "This time I have made such a great contribution, Shen Gongzi and that eldest brother have made great contributions, I will immediately report to Zhang Butang and ask for credit for the two of you!" ”

Silently but excitedly, he pointed to the cheering army on the lake and said: "Five thousand soldiers and civilians, three days, and every possible effort was exhausted to finally exterminate these three hundred Japanese robbers," and said that he looked at Yu Dayou and said: "General Yu, please tell the students, how many Japanese are there in the world?" ”

"This ......" Yu Dayou said with a ashamed face: "There are 100,000 to say less...... Of course, not all of them are so powerful. "If they are all so powerful, then the Japanese will directly enter the Forbidden City and play as an emperor.

"But at least they are better than our officers and soldiers!" What he has seen and heard in the past few days has made Shen Mo extremely angry, and finally broke out at this moment, and said in an indignant tone: "Could it be that our Ming Dynasty will be bullied by these maggots with bones forever?" Our coastal people, don't they have a day to live? ”

Yu Dayou was red-faced, but he couldn't refute a word -- even he himself felt that the complete elimination of the Japanese and the purging of the coastal areas seemed to be far away and could not be expected.

After venting, Shen Mo felt much more comfortable in his heart, and said to Yu Dayou apologetically: "The student just felt it, and it was definitely not aimed at the general. He smiled and said, "I still have great respect for the general himself, especially your swordsmanship." ”

Yu Dayou smiled generously and said: "The southeast has fallen into this situation, it is a dereliction of duty for us to be soldiers, no matter how the son blames, it is not too much at all." ”

Shen Mo looked at his expression and was by no means fake, only to know that this General Yu was a loyal elder, and he was even more embarrassed in his heart, and said with an apologetic smile: "General Bo Hong Yaliang, let you have no place to be ashamed, let me be the east in Xia, and make amends to the general." ”

Yu Dayou shook his head and smiled: "The military situation is urgent, I have been delayed for two days, let's leave it for next time, sooner or later, it is indispensable to disturb the son." ”

"Extremely willing!" Shen Mo arched his hand and smiled: "The general must not call me 'Childe' again, just call me clumsy words in the following table." ”

"Then don't call me a general," Yu Dayou laughed: "I'm much older than you, you don't suffer if you call me Old Yu?" ”

"Little brother is clumsy, I've seen Brother Yu." Silent smiled and said again.

"Brother Shen, brother, I have cursive Zhifu." Yu Dayou also smiled in return, and the two looked at each other and laughed, becoming a pair of year-old friends.

Yu Dayou's fleet wanted to go back to Keqiao to get a heavy load, and Shen Mo wanted to go back to Shaoxing City directly, so the two said goodbye in the middle of the lake.

Seeing Shen Mo, the eldest son, and the one wearing a hat get on the boat, Yu Dayou suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "It's a good time, it's not easy to share hardships." ”

The eldest son was inexplicable, but Shen Mo and Miss Yin blushed, and the two involuntarily glanced at each other, and quickly avoided each other.

After traveling for a few miles, the boat left Jianhu Lake and sailed to Shaoxing City.

The atmosphere along the way was surprisingly awkward and dreary...... The eldest son has already realized that this old man wearing a hat is probably a Xibei goods, but since Shen Mo doesn't say it, he must not ask. He had no choice but to hold back his curiosity, looked sullenly at the path by the river, and honestly didn't say a word.

It wasn't until he saw a carriage on the way that he suddenly said, "It's your father's car!" "His father is a chauffeur in the county office, and he drives for Shen He full-time, so the eldest son will naturally not admit his mistake.

Shen Mo heard the prestige, and saw that it was indeed his father's car, but it was Shen Jing who drove the car. I saw my father standing on the scale, looking at the river, and shouting loudly: "Chaosheng...... Chaosheng ...... Where are you...... Chaosheng ......" sounded hoarse, and I don't know how long it had been shouting.

When he heard this shout clearly, his silent gaze was misty, he put his hands in front of his mouth, and responded in the loudest voice: "Dad, I'm here!" ”

Shen He heard it and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that I am hallucinating?" ”

saw Shen Jing with tears in his eyes and said, "Uncle, you don't have auditory hallucinations, Chaosheng is on the boat over there!" ”

Shen He turned back suddenly, and sure enough, he saw his son on a small boat not far away, silent, waving vigorously at him!

"Parking! Stop it! Shen He slapped Shen Jing's head vigorously, and before the car could stop, he couldn't wait to jump down, and his body stumbled forward, almost not lying on the ground.

"Oh, sir, you have to be careful." Shen Jing was still busy parking there, but a quirky boy popped out of the carriage, and it turned out to be the little scholar Shen An! What a hell of a life!

He wanted to step forward to support the master, but Shen He ran out first, letting him hug him in the air, Shen An couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Father's love is so great." ”

Without waiting for the boat to stop, Shen Mo jumped onto the shore and ran towards Shen He.

The father and son met in the sunset, Shen He hugged his son, and cried heartbreakingly: "Chaosheng, son, I heard that you were killed yesterday, and my father and I don't want to live directly." I want to see you one last time, and then I'll jump into the river to find you! As he spoke, he hugged him tighter, as if he was afraid that his lost son would fly again, so he heard him whining and crying: "Later, Ma Dianshi said that he searched all over the boat and found you. They said you might have drifted down the river, so I'll look for it along the river...... Find, find, find...... After looking for a day and a night, the sky is pitiful, the Bodhisattva land and the city god bless, I really let me get you back. ”

Silent tears comforted his father and said: "It's the son who is not filial, which makes ...... father worried" In fact, he asked people to report his father's safety the night before yesterday, and it seems that his father did not receive it outside the city.

After crying and laughing for a while, Shen He pulled Shen Mo to kneel down towards the west sky, took him to kowtow to the Buddha respectfully, and said to the sky very seriously: "Buddha, it is all thanks to your blessing that Chaosheng will return safely, since you have fulfilled your disciple's wish, then the disciple has to fulfill what he promised you." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Mo asked in a low voice.

"I'm converting." Shen He said with a solemn face: "I have to believe in the Buddha in this life." ”
