What are you kidding, going down at this time is more direct than falling headlong into the palace of Hades!

"Boom!"

Before everyone could scold, the big boat shook suddenly, causing the unsuspecting crew on the boat to suddenly turn on their backs, and a few unlucky ghosts screamed and fell directly into the river. Then there was a huge crash on the rock, and then there was a piercing "click~!" from the hull of the ship. Click~! Click......", obviously, the hull is about to shatter.

Thankfully, the first impact of the big ship on the reef was relatively sharp, which suddenly made the big ship stuck there, but stabilized the hull of the ship and did not hit horizontally. However, with the hull of the ship entering the water, capsizing is a matter of time.

The crowd was terrified.

Peng Ziqing was afraid that everyone still didn't understand that life and death were imminent, so he immediately yelled in horror: "The boat is about to sink, take a small boat and flee for your life!" ”

This sense of panic immediately infected every crew member, and everyone yelled in panic and hurried to both sides of the hull, hurriedly putting down the boat...... No one noticed that, like the ship in front, the guides were concentrating at the entrance to the cabin, intentionally or unintentionally.

Peng Ziqing took advantage of the chaos to run to the entrance of the cabin, nodded to a guide, glanced at the three guides behind him, took the pocket handed by the guide, and took a guide into the cabin. The guide who handed the bag hurriedly closed the door, and shouted with fear on his face: "Jump ship!" The ship is going to sink ......". The other two ran quickly to both sides of the hull - they were going to pick up the bamboo knots that had drifted to the side of the boat. Of course, it is inevitable to cause more panic by yelling and screaming.

"The old village owner, the little one doesn't need to be so troublesome, as long as one is tied to the hull, and then it will be done by diving directly down to pull the boat."

Peng Ziqing shook his head while handing a bundle of cowhide bands to the other party: "No! The current here is turbulent, and when the ship sinks, it will be smashed by the reef back and forth, and then it will be troublesome to fish. ”

Immediately, the two began to tie the boxes with cowhide bands......

In the dark darkness, although the specific situation could not be seen clearly, the panicked roars that could come from the two ships were clearly audible, all indicating that the two ships were about to sink.

Since the first ship hit the rock, the sound of panic came, and everyone's already nervous hearts immediately rose to the highest.

The most anxious was naturally Hu Xingmin, watching him stomp his feet in a hurry, Uncle Da was very happy, but his face was more anxious than him, and he had to persuade him not to be anxious, and said something comforting such as Jiren's own natural appearance.

"Leader Li, please think of a way to save them~!"

Uncle Da pretended to be stunned, looked at the river, shook his head like a drum, and said: "Master Hu, you should also know that it is not that the old man does not save him when he sees death, but in this case, the old man sends someone to save him, what is the difference between sending him to death?" ”

"Chief Li, the ships are carrying important materials for the government, and there is no room for loss, no matter how big the price is, no matter how many people die, it is worth it."

Li Da's face immediately turned cold: You are fooling the ghost, really don't know what the so-called important material is? Besides, it's really that important, why don't you save it yourself? Oh~! Your stuff is important, and my sons are cannon fodder? Hum! What a lamp grass -- to put it lightly!

Seeing Li Da's cold face, his eyes became gloomy, and the faces of the guards around him gradually turned cold, and everyone's right hand was put on the handle of the gun on their waists, with a posture of killing Hu Xingmin and several others just waiting for Uncle Da's order.

Hu Xingmin was stunned for a moment, glanced around, and immediately realized a truth: this is not his territory! People give you face and treat you as a chief, you are the chief; But if you don't give you face, let alone treat you like shit, or take advantage of the chaos to kill you, and say that you and your people are all loyal to the country and died in the belly of the fish, what can you do? It's a big deal to hide in Xiangxi after the incident, and the government really sent a large army to Xiangxi to fight the civil war in order to avenge you regardless of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War?

However, a sturdy officer beside Hu Xingmin hurriedly said: "Leader Li, even if you can't save things, it's good to save one more person." They are all elites, and they will be of great use to the country in the future. ”

Although Uncle Da's face was a little better, he said coldly: "Everything has happened, you can't let the brothers who have been safe go to death in vain, right?" ”

Hu Xingmin may not be able to do other things, but his long-term experience in struggle has given him a strong ability to be obedient and listen. As soon as he heard the words 'death in vain', he immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and said with a smile while stuffing them into Uncle Da's hand: "Chief Li, as the old saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards!" I'll pay for it, and I ask you to send a message to see who among the warriors under your command is willing to risk saving them? ”

Uncle Da's complexion immediately returned to normal, his eyes lit up, he looked at the silver ticket intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at Hu Xingmin with a smile.

Hu Xingmin didn't know what he meant, took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket, and said hurriedly: "This is all, it's all for you." ”

Uncle Da took the silver ticket and looked at Hu Xingmin happily.

"It's gone, it's really gone, I don't believe it, you can search it yourself if I take off my clothes." Saying that, Hu Xingmin really wanted to unbutton his clothes, Uncle Da quickly took his hand, but did not speak, but looked greedily at Hu Xingmin's pocket watch hanging on his chest. Hu Xingmin couldn't care about this, so he quickly untied the pocket watch and stuffed it into Uncle Da's hand, but took the opportunity to pull Uncle Da aside and whispered: "You must save the goods first." ”

Uncle Da was stunned for a moment, glanced at Hu Xingmin, and nodded while putting the pocket watch in his pocket to show that he understood. But I calculated a little in my heart, there are about more than 40,000 oceans, and this bamboo pole is enough-this is Uncle Da's impromptu. In fact, even if Hu Xingmin doesn't ask for help, Uncle Da will try his best to make him beg him to save - if he doesn't save him, how can he make things look more natural?

"Goldfish!"

"Here!" I saw a man about thirty years old immediately stand up.

"Master Hu has a big bounty, are you willing to take someone to the rescue?"

"I don't care if the money is not money, but as long as the owner of the village gives an order, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the small one will never frown."

Hu Xingmin, who heard this, was very happy and sighed greatly: Although these barbarians have no culture, their courage to face life and death is really worthy of admiration...... Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind: if he had such a group of people under his command who were easy to control and dared to sacrifice their lives to help, it would be a huge guarantee of force for both himself and the other party's family.

"Well said! You immediately take people and release the boat to the rescue. ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, isn't there a bamboo knot on the ship for rescue? Bring more ...... No! Except for the small boat, all the rest were thrown into the water, hoping that those who were not good at the water would be able to swim ashore with this thing. After speaking, he also sighed sadly: "Hey~! It's one more to save one. ”

"Yes!"

Xiangxi is poor, and there is no such thing as a lifebuoy, so you can only use bamboo as a lifebuoy. This is local common sense, so there is no need to explain to Hu Xingmin, and it can be put in a justifiable way, so as to facilitate action. Moreover, the people who go to the rescue can also get on the ship openly, who asked Hu Xingmin to order to save the goods first? But in fact, I went to help deliver the bamboo and bundle the boxes.

Soon, twenty small boats, each with a lantern on each side, took advantage of the current and sped away towards the two large ships.

Seeing these boats go away like arrows, Uncle Da's eyes were a little worried: he was not worried about the safety of the boats. These water bandits who have been begging for a living on the water all their lives, whether it is water or rowing skills, are all superb, coupled with Peng Ziqing's strict training, and now, the cooperation between them is also perfect. And Screw Beach looks very dangerous, but these people have walked back and forth here for an unknown number of times, even if one or two small boats have an accident, it will not be much dangerous, besides, those who can participate in the rescue are carefully selected, so Uncle Da is not worried about them, but Hu Xingmin, who is worried, sees something: In case Hu Xingmin sees that these people are so skilled and knows everything about this place, he must be able to think that he is scaring and fooling him, then, he will definitely be able to analyze the ultimate goal of this effort, and when the time comes, But that's a bad thing.

Glancing at Hu Xingmin from the corner of his eye, seeing that his face was worried, and he didn't see anything, Uncle Da breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: It's really salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, just this megalomaniac who puts his eyes on the top of his head, he has to be proficient in water to see the hell...... It's a pity that Uncle Da underestimated the heroes of the world and didn't look back: Hu Xingmin didn't see anything, but standing behind Hu Xingmin, that is, the officer who spoke just now, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned slightly, looked down and thought about something, and glanced at Uncle Da and everyone from time to time.

At this time, half of the crew members were left on the two big ships that had an accident, and the other half were on the small boats and drove away, but the number of small boats was limited, and half of them could go up, which was already the limit. That's it, there was also a boat robbery.

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

Suddenly, there was a gunshot heard.

"Fuck, the chief hasn't even gotten on the boat yet, what's your hurry?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

"Dog, it's important to save your life now, tell Lao Tzu about the sir, Lao Tzu will kill you with one shot."

Seeing that although both sides were threatening each other with guns in the sky, but in the scolding, a confrontation gradually formed, which greatly delayed the speed of getting off the ship, and the guide standing at the door of the cabin was really anxious: now everyone is only concerned about running for their lives, and no one thinks of the weapons in the cabin, but in case of a fight, someone rushes into the cabin and finds a few people who are tying up boxes, it will be a bad thing.

Hurriedly ran over, pointed to the bundles of bamboo that had just begun to flow past the side of the boat, and shouted: "Don't fight, let's fight again, let's see Hades together." It's much safer to get into the water with these bamboo joints than in a small boat. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately responded.

"Plop! Thump! The sound was endless, countless people jumped out of the boat to escape, but there were still a dozen people who were not good at water, or were still hesitating, the guide immediately pointed to the small boat speeding in front of him, and said with great joy: "They have sent someone to save us, go to the bow of the boat." ”

The last group immediately ran to the bow of the ship in desperation. And the people who were struggling to survive on the water with the help of bamboo joints, when they saw the boat illuminated by dozens of lanterns, they were overjoyed and shouted for help......
