Chapter 103: The Lifeboat is Frightened
"Phew! These turtle grandsons! Chen Zhanshui stared at the uniquely shaped lifeboat in front of him and scolded, spitting at the foam, and turned his face to look at a few companions around him, "Boys, do you want this wealth?" ”
"I want to! If the shopkeeper wants to be rich, we want it! "All five young faces were full of excitement. These young people have grown up so big, they have experienced a lot of things today, and the shopkeeper asked about wealth and nobility, of course they wanted, which young man did not want to make contributions and seek wealth?
"Good! Since the boys want to be rich, we have to come up with something real! As the old saying goes: wealth is sought in danger! Since we have joined the national army with Chief Liu, we can't fool around! When the army leaves the water in the future, our brothers will have no chance to be famous and show their faces again! There must be a devil official sitting on the raft in front, let's catch him up and give him to Chief Liu, so I have to get an official for each of you! ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" The five young ** voices agreed, gearing up, and they were eager to try one by one.
"Let's go!" Chen Zhanshui let out a low snort, his body rushed forward, his hands were divided into the water, his feet were in the water, and his body rushed out like a big silver carp. The five young people next to him were even more anxious, and when they saw that the leader of the shopkeeper swam out, the five little brothers immediately started, dividing the water, paddling, and treading water, and the five people followed closely behind like five frogs. The five water waves brought out by the five people, plus the water wave of Chen Zhanshui in front of them, a total of six water waves quickly rolled forward. Fortunately, it's the middle of the night, and if it's daylight, people might think that there is a water monster in the Yangtze River!
Chen Zhanshui, who grew up by the river and grew up in the water since he was a child, is really like a freshwater fish in the river, at the beginning he was still treading water with two legs bending and stretching, and in the end, he simply put his two legs together, just like the tail of a fish, and began to swing up and down, and the speed of the whole body is getting faster and faster, faster and faster, and he is getting closer and closer to the raft he said in front of him!
The five young men who followed him, as soon as their two legs curled up, their small bodies rushed out for several feet, and then curled up and stretched, and then several feet. The five of them are also masters with excellent water nature, although they can't catch up with Chen Zhanshui in terms of speed, they don't fall too far behind. The shopkeeper said that tonight is to earn wealth for himself, and the five little brothers used all their skills and chased after them with their heads buried in their heads.
The lifeboat that Nakajima was sitting on was not suitable for rowing. Ordinary boats, even the simplest flat-bottomed boats that can seat three or five people, are streamlined with two tips and a width in the middle, and only boats of this shape can run fast. And the so-called lifeboat that Nakajima is sitting on is a large square wooden box in the middle, and two lifebuoys are tied to the front and back, can it be fast? That is, to ensure that it will not sink.
Two of the three devils rowed boats, and His Excellency the Lieutenant General sat in a box with his command knife in his hand. It's all at this point, and this one is reluctant to throw away his command knife.
"What's the name of both of you? Where is your hometown? "The atmosphere is too dreary, and His Excellency the Lieutenant General intends to ease it by talking.
"My name is Norio Takeda, and my home is from Ishikawa Prefecture."
"My name is Shota Kubo, and my hometown is Kyoto."
"Oh? Is Kubo from Kyoto? My hometown is also from Kyoto! Lieutenant General Nakajima exclaimed in surprise, there was a kind of surprise to see his fellow countrymen in a foreign country, "Don't worry, when we arrive in Wuhan and meet Commander Yokota, I will definitely be appointed as the new division commander, and then you will all be officers of my division!" Do you want to be a staff officer, or do you want to lead the troops and be the commander of the troops? ”
Before the old guy himself could find out, he began to buy people's hearts. However, these two devils really ate this, and their eyes looked at the lieutenant general, and if it wasn't for the ship, these two would have stood up and saluted. "Your Excellency the Division Commander, I want to be the commander of the troops!" The two devils were as if they had been rehearsed, and not only did they say word for word, but they also spoke at the same time, and at the same time, they smiled embarrassedly at each other.
"Yo Xi, you are all brave samurai of the Imperial Japanese Army! You're all ordinary soldiers now, and you can't rise too fast. I can only appoint you as a squadron leader first, and then promote you to captain after a year. The old devil nodded in approval, as if he was glad that he had found two generals.
"Hey! Willing to serve His Excellency the Division Commander! The two devils agreed loudly, happiness came too fast, and the two of them seemed to be a little dizzy.
"Why is the boat shaking? What's going on? The lieutenant general, who was still boastful just now, suddenly changed his face, grabbed the side of the big wooden box with both hands, and half-stood up and looked out, "Lifebuoy!" The old devil screamed miserably, snatched the wooden board from Takeda Norio's hand and lay down in front and beat it out!
"Smack!" The plank hit the water, splashed a splash, splashed the old devil's body, but the old devil ignored these completely, the plank stretched into the water for a while, it turned out that the lifebuoy in front of me didn't know what was going on, and took off the rope and left the hull! The buoyancy at the front and back was comparable, but now there was suddenly a lifebuoy missing in front of it, and the wooden box suddenly lost its balance, and the front sank down at that time!
Seeing the lifebuoy fluttering farther and farther away, the plank in Nakajima's hand was completely out of reach!
"You two sit back. Hurry up, catch up with that lifebuoy! "The situation of sinking headlong is not very safe on the river, and the old devil plans to pick it up before the lifebuoy has drifted away.
The three devils huddled together, shrinking as far as they could to the side of the wooden box near the rest of the lifebuoy. The lifeboat turned around, the lifebuoy was in front, the wooden box was behind, the two devils rowed the oars hard, and Nakajima Imaigo also stretched his sword into the water and paddled together. The blade of the Oriental knife is quite long, and it is quite suitable for paddling at this time, and the grip of both hands, the long blade, is smoother to use than the wooden plank in the hands of the two devils.
When the three devils were paddling hard to chase the lifebuoy, they suddenly let out a "bang!" from under their buttocks. Boom! Boom! The sound is a bit like the bottom of a boat hitting a rock.
"What's that?" His Excellency the Lieutenant General shouted, and took his command knife and rowed underwater, fearing that there would be some big fish, old turtles, and other large aquatic creatures under the boat. The remaining two devils also took the oars and fished into the water for a while, and the faces of the devils turned white. If you meet some big guys under the water at this time, they will be really vicious!
"Grab it!" Nakajima screamed, his body slammed forward, and he stretched out his command knife to fish! What's wrong? It turns out that the rest of the lifebuoy is separated from the wooden box for some reason! Fortunately, the lieutenant general reacted quickly this time, and the tip of the command knife suddenly picked up the lifebuoy, and he caught it!
