Chapter 41: The Killing Machine

"No grudges, no grudges. Miss Zheng, don't you have a saying in China, called beating is kissing, scolding is love, and if you don't beat or scold, you will be finished! ”

Long Jigui is the great leader, and in front of the tribesmen, he is very majestic. But occasionally popping up a witty remark is also very lethal. The witch raised her eyebrows, and she was about to exert her might. Seeing this, Long Ji quickly fled to the side and avoided her.

Seeing the large pile of munitions captured on the deck, the four princesses also smiled with joy, and the fleet collectively raised their eyebrows. The little fruit is not afraid, with his hands behind his back, he holds his head high on the deck, walks around, and looks at who the world will give up.

Everyone looked at Xiao Bu's might, and they were all amused by her.

Liu Guodong reached out to hug her, she no longer dodged, but took the initiative to hold his head and kissed his lips rewardingly. This time, Liu Guodong was moved to tears. He kissed the little fruit and fleshy little face, and sighed with emotion, "Little princess, little snob, little no, little philistine, little girl, today I know that your Uncle Liu is also useful, woo!" ”

Lingyu smiled and said, "You really shocked her by firing these cannons today." I didn't expect this little thing to be so snobbish and so smart. ”

After saying that, he felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, and his face turned red, and everyone tacitly laughed easily. On the big ship, like the New Year, it was full of joy. And those injured boatmen naturally became heroes, and they were well taken care of by Mei Xue and others.

At that time, in the Mekong River Basin of Southeast Asia, the boats were all gas-packed, and the bandits were inferior to the third class. If you are reasonable, give him money and let him go. If you are unreasonable, you will have a ship, you will have a cargo, and all the men will be killed, and the women will be left as sex slaves or hard labor. These two encounters with the Siamese rout bandits, although too bloody, were both righteous, and made the backs of these boatmen straighten.

While sailing the boat, the boatmen cooked breakfast vigorously, and it was extremely hearty. Ryūji also brought out the plantain sake to entertain everyone, and the breakfast was like a dinner. The atmosphere is warm, and it really has a bit of a New Year's meaning.

Long Ji said, "Captain Yu, you have done me a great favor to my brother. These two battles are actually to help our fleet stand up. In the future, in the Mekong, no strongman will dare to ask for the passage money of my Longji fleet. ”

"Will the Siamese Army hold a grudge against you, will it take revenge on you?"

"No, it won't. These people are just routs, stragglers, bandits, in fact, they are a gang of bandits, the Siamese army can't control them, there is nothing to do with them, how can they care about their life and death. At the same time, we left no evidence, and the corpses were all eaten clean by crocodiles. Moreover, both battles are in no man's land, and they have no reason to trouble us. ”

Lingyu also judged, "This group of stragglers bravely harmed the township, and they deserve death, and no country's government will stand up for the bandits." Rest assured, I judge that there will be no trouble! ”

Lingyu also toasted them one by one and congratulated them on the victory. "You're really killing machines, and you're fighting so beautifully! A cigarette kung fu, thirty or forty people, all killed! Speaking of which, some of these bandits are also poor. Why do you want to kill people and steal goods, rob merchant ships, and kill innocent people? It can only be said that it is innocent to die! ”

Yu Songyuan and the others were unhappy in their hearts, but they couldn't say it, they were afraid of destroying this good atmosphere.

Zheng Shuwen was straightforward, and she said bluntly: "Eldest sister, if a shot hits the ship just now, you, Xiao Guo, Mei Xue and the other four princesses, including all of us on the ship, will be reimbursed." Although most of these people are also from poor backgrounds, they are ruthless, and they kill people without blinking an eye, and they must not sympathize with them. If you don't kill them, I don't know how many fleets will suffer from them! ”

Lingyu nodded, deeply convinced. However, from then on, she still gave the five of them a nickname, called the Killing Machine!

"I don't understand, you're all following behind people. The five of them are all scratched skin, are the bullets long-eyed, looking for you? The wounded were about to be carried out of the cabin, and Mei Xue checked the wounded again and asked them puzzled.

The three seriously wounded were blushing from being questioned and did not know how to answer for a while.

Long Ji hurriedly said, "Little sister, don't mess around. Brothers dare to charge into battle, brave the rain of bullets, we are the warriors of our Dragon Dai tribe, and when you return, the tribe will reward you! ”

Lingyu said, "It is indeed a warrior, and it should be rewarded." After all, they can't compare to the brothers, these five are killing machines, and the tribal warriors are trained like them. ”

The boatman was carried out of the cabin and cared for by a special person. Mei Xue said thoughtfully to Long Ji, "Brother Long, you should strengthen the training of the clan warriors, and let the four brothers and Sister Zheng teach them well." ”

"Little sister, you are reasonable, Sister Xu has already arranged this matter."

During the dry season on the Mekong, the further upstream you go, the narrower the course becomes. There were two strong men in front, but they no longer dared to let go of their guns, and they didn't want to collect "money", they just stood on the shore and clenched their fists and shouted: "Boss Long, your old man is rich, and the Long Dai tribe is strong, please take care of your brothers in the future!" ”

Standing at the bow of the boat, Longji greeted the shore with a fist and shouted in a loud voice: "Brothers get rich together!" Be sure to take care of each other! All tribes develop in harmony! "It's really imposing, the boatmen are all raising their eyebrows, smiling, and refreshed inside and out!

The little fruit rode on Lin Tao's neck, grabbed Lin Tao's two big ears with his two small hands, kept turning his big head around, and kept giving orders in his small mouth, "Shoot to the left, horn, good shot." Shoot at Lu right again, horn, awesome! Did you little thing drink chicken blood, ah, such a god? It made everyone laugh.

Lin Tao teased her while saying to everyone with a smile, "Master Long's status in the rivers and lakes is laid in today's battle!" ”

"I've never been so happy today." My God, a cigarette, a platoon of regular Siamese bandits, all killed. It all depends on the mightiness of the brothers, and it all depends on the blessings of the brothers! ”

When I returned to Vientiane, it was evening and the sun was about to set. The afterglow of the setting sun edged the clouds in the sky. The Mekong River at sunset, the red sunset is immersed in the water, a few fishermen spread their nets on the river, and Siamese villages and towns on the other side of the river disappear from time to time, making it an idyllic scene.

The sun finally set in the western sky, and the twilight of Shen gradually spread, Yu Songyuan felt that as the capital of Lancang, Vienzhen was like a big village in his hometown in northern Jiangsu, quiet and peaceful, and there was no dispute with the world. Even the sporadic lights are extremely gentle, scattered, and even unenterprising.

Nestled on the banks of the Mekong River, this large city in South Asia is slowly fading into the foggy, humid and dark night of the riverside. The wooden dock of the Long Dai tribe was brightly lit at this time. The large wooden pillars on the shore, covered with red lanterns and flying buntings, were crowded with people, and it was clear that a greater welcome was waiting for the victorious warriors.

"Lanterns and buntings, is this to welcome us?" Lin Tao asked.

At this moment, everyone was standing on the deck, Mei Xue was holding the cage in her hand and said, "Welcome is for sure, but not all." Although our Lancang country is poor, its folk customs are simple, the pace of life is slow, and there are many festivals. There are two important folk festivals in October, one is Loy Krathong and the other is the Water Festival, both of which are to be celebrated solemnly. ”

"Are these two festivals important? So grand! ”

"yes. In Lancang, in Vientia, it's all like this. The water festival should be carried out to light lanterns, set off lanterns, race drums, release light boats, race dragon boats, etc., which is the most lively, and it is a grand event and a grand ceremony for the whole people. Loy Krathong is a celebration of the harvest, where every household makes a small bamboo boat with candles on it, and after setting off firecrackers at night, they light the candles and put the small bamboo boat into the river. On the entire surface of the Mekong River, the lights are ten thousand lights, flickering far and near, drifting with the waves, which is very spectacular. On both sides of the river, young men and women sang and danced all night. ”

"It's a pity that we didn't catch up, it's a bit of a shame." Sugi is clearly very fond of both festivals.

While everyone was talking, the lights on the shore were getting closer and brighter. I saw Xu Tianyi, Yingya and the women, all of whom had their hair in a high bun on their heads, and all the people of status in the tribe, as well as the families of the boatmen and tribal warriors, were full of joy and joy on their faces, and they were greeting them at the dock.

This ceremony to welcome the triumphant warriors was extremely grand.

Lancang people attach great importance to etiquette, and the Long Dai tribe, which is a clan branch of the old dragon clan, is especially important to etiquette. When the distinguished guest came, the husband traveled home, and there was a kiss ceremony and a tie ceremony. Like the head of state, Long Ji stood on the high bow of the ship, beckoning to the people who greeted him, calmly bearing the cheers and greetings of Yingya and his people.

Thousands of people gathered on the riverside, and the head and face of the Long Dai tribe all came to greet them. After the war, Longji used carrier pigeons to report a great victory to the old camp. Of particular importance was the fact that the fleet fought all the way, killing countless enemies, and not a single one of them was killed. This has never been done before in the history of the Dragon Dai tribe. The entire tribe is actually welcoming the return of several gods of war!

The boat is stable, and as soon as the boatman sets the springboard, Shui Ya is about to rush to the boat.

Long Ji stepped off the gangplank majestically, and Shui Ya immediately threw himself into his generous embrace. He picked up his daughter, first lowered his head and kissed him fiercely, his face was covered with stubble like steel thorns, and Shui Ya tried her best to dodge and giggle. The father and daughter made a fuss, walked up to Yingya in a few steps, stretched out their powerful ape arms, and embraced their petite beloved wives into their arms like an eagle catching chickens, and kissed them passionately.

Then, Long Ji walked up to Xu Tianyi with great respect, first bowed and saluted, and then bowed his head and took Xu Tianyi's hand and kissed the hand. It was Xu Tianyi who took the initiative to hug him, kissed him passionately, and patted him on the back like an elder to encourage him.
