Chapter 8 Eyes Xu III
That man is 1.8 meters tall, and he is an absolute big man in this era. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't know why, this man is wearing a Japanese-style samurai haori, and he has a Japanese-style moon head shaved on his head, and he is dressed in Japanese style. A pair of small eyes are bright, and at first glance it looks like a practiced.
With his left fist stretched out and his right fist retracted, Xu San took an offensive stance and paced slowly around Li Tu.
Li Tu still stood in the middle of the deck, motionless. Even when Xu San walked around behind him, he didn't turn around.
This Xu San is a good man on the ship, and he is a character that everyone respects on weekdays.
At this time, when the onlookers saw that Xu Sanru was facing the enemy and Li Tu was not moving, they all felt despised and shouted loudly.
"Xu San, beat him!"
"Up, knock this kid down!"
Seeing everyone shouting, Xu San no longer hesitated. A big stride walked up, Xu San slashed out from Li Tu's side and punched Li Tu's head.
The fist came out quickly, walked fast, and between the lightning and flint, it was about to hit Li Tu's side face.
When they saw this, they all applauded loudly.
But at the last moment, seeing that the fist was about to parry Li Tu's face, Li Tu gently moved his head and dodged the menacing fist.
Although the farmer Li Tu is stupid and stupid, his skills are indeed more than the level of ordinary market scoundrels.
That Xu San has also practiced, and there is a back move if he misses a move. The right fist missed, and the left fist did not hesitate, and then hit out.
But this punch passed, but it still didn't hit Li Tu.
It was too late, it was fast, and he took a step forward suddenly, and Li Tu had already flashed in front of Xu San's fist.
Xu San's left fist was empty again.
Two punches were thrown, Xu San was already wide open, where was there still the ability to parry. In a panic, he hurriedly jumped back.
But he dodged fast, and Li Tu's fists were faster. A left hook, Li Tu swept from below to above, and hit Xu San's right cheek with a bang.
Xu San was beaten and stumbled. Li Tu's right fist came out again and hit Xu San's left cheek hard.
Hit hard by two punches in a row, Xu San had no stronghold under his feet, and in the exclamation of everyone, Xu San stood unsteady and fell on the deck.
Without waiting for the exclamations of the onlookers to fall, Li Tu grabbed Xu San's collar on the ground. With a wave of his hand, he lifted Xu San up.
Xu San, who was held in mid-air, panicked, his hands and feet flew and screamed, but he couldn't use his strength. Litu carried him to the side of the ship, gave him a shout, and threw him off the deck.
With a "plop", Xu San's buttocks fell into the sea, splashing a huge splash.
When he came out of the water again, he already looked like a chicken in soup, where was the majesty just now?
The crowd of onlookers crowded to the side of the boat, and Baba looked at Xu San who was swimming on the water, and was surprisingly quiet for a while. Xu San was also easily defeated, and the boatmen all had the feeling of being kicked out of the gym, where could they still speak.
In awe, everyone stepped back, farther away from Li Tu in the middle.
In these days, it is no longer the time to speak with fists on land. The so-called heroes are difficult to defeat with four hands, they are strongmen, and they are also constrained by the Ming Dynasty's etiquette and filial piety system on weekdays, where is there room for courage and ruthlessness? Even in the military barracks, on the battlefield of war, it can only be a battle with the crowd, and the courage of the horseman is not of much value.
But in the sea, it's very different. In naval warfare in this era, artillery did not dominate the battlefield, and the vast majority of battles were hand-to-hand combat. A boatload of sailors, there are only a few dozen people. Once the sea is hand-to-hand, the ability of a brave warrior can even change the tide of battle.
So at sea, the heaviest warriors.
Seeing that Lian Jiazi on his boat was defeated by Li Tu, everyone in the audience felt a sense of grayness.
Even the shipowner, who was relaxed just now, was a little unbearable on his face at this time.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Li Tu patted the dust on his palms and smiled indifferently:
"Who else is coming?"
Hearing this, all the shipwrights looked at each other, and there was not a single squeak.
Half-ringing, seeing that no one answered, the owner Xiao took a step forward and said embarrassedly: "Little brother is very skilled... ”
But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a majestic voice.
"I'm coming!"
The crowd of onlookers parted from both sides, and a man dressed in a short coat and a turban stepped out in line. The person who came was neither tall nor short, with a thick beard on his face and a short knife pinned to his waist, and at first glance he looked like a warrior who practiced martial arts and killed the enemy.
Seeing the visitor, Xiao Xiangui's face was overjoyed, and he introduced loudly:
"Brother Li, this is Wang Jian, the head shop on our ship. He's coming to meet you! ”
Flicking his sleeves, Xiao Xiangui said confidently,
"If you can defeat our shopkeeper, I will give you a reward of forty taels and one year."
Hearing the introduction of the shipowner, Li Tu probably guessed the identity of the arrival: no one else was wearing weapons, but this Wang Jian was wearing a knife. Although he didn't know what the specific position of the "general shop" was, Li Tu guessed and knew that he was always the chief of the ship's battle.
Li Tu groaned slightly, and suddenly asked loudly,
"The salary of the head shop is how much two taels of silver."
Suddenly hearing Li Tu's question, Xiao Xiangui was stunned, and then replied,
"The head shop, specializing in combat training and back and forth patrols, when encountering the enemy, he commanded the whole ship to fight. The honorarium is one hundred taels a year. ”
Li Tu turned around and said loudly:
"Then if I defeat the head shop, shouldn't I be the head shop? Give me a hundred taels of silver? ”
Hearing Li Tu's words, the owner frowned, and replied loudly,
"You kid is ridiculous. You don't know how you can take on the position of steward when you are new to the city. ”
Li Tu blinked, and then said,
"It's not a head shop. But if I prevail, give me forty denises of silver at once. ”
"You kid, why are you in such a hurry for silver? I gave you money, what if you run away and don't come back? ”
Xiao Xiangui is not stupid, and when he saw Li Tu asking for silver, he immediately expressed his doubts.
Pointing to Li Tong hiding in the crowd, Li Tu said loudly:
"I'm betting my brother on you, and if I don't come back for a day, my brother will be here for a day. When I come back, you will release my brother. Since then, I have never left the ship and will go to sea with you! ”
As soon as Li Tong heard this, he immediately protested loudly,
"Brother! How can you casually pledge me as a human being on the ship! ”
Li Tu didn't pay attention to Li Tong, and only looked at the shipowner Xiao Xiangui.
If it is other places in the Ming Dynasty, even if you Li Tu can be a literary and martial hero, it would be too self-righteous to put forward such conditions. In this Ming Dynasty, who can change something by themselves? Your brute strength is no match for the enemies you charge into. You can write splendid articles, and the people who read them may also be in a bad mood and disdain you.
But on this sea, it is different. This long sail is no match for the flat ground, and there is a possibility of encountering the threat of pirates at any time. On one side is the general cargo worth 10,000 gold, and on the other side is the floating boat that can only accommodate a few dozen people. Sometimes one warrior can affect the safety of a boatload of people. It's where people are employed.
In the end, he was in a hurry to employ people, hearing Li Tu's words, Xiao Xiangui groaned slightly, and said arrogantly,
"Since you have said so, I promise you. If you can defeat my shopkeeper, I will give you forty taels of silver at once. ”
