Duan Laosan knew that there must be a situation ahead, so he quickly helped the helmsman tilt the boat to the side, and the little man probed into the water with the long knife in his hand, sure enough, there were several wooden stakes in the water, each pile was under the water, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that when the boat passed, it would inevitably be blocked, and even damage the boat.

"I see, the sound just now, it's them driving piles." Said the little man.

Shi Suo and the others pulled out the wooden stakes in the water with great force, and Duan Laosan said: "Since they are desperately trying to stop us, it means that there must be goods in front, go quickly." ”

Turning out of the reeds, I saw the shadow of Brother Island.

From a distance, it is just a dense reed, almost impermeable, and people who don't know the details will only bypass it when they see it, and they will not think of the barren reeds, which are actually a small island. Dafeng's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the front and shouted, "There is a boat there." ”

The stern of a small boat disappeared into the reeds in a flash, and everyone knew that the enemy was in front, and they worked together to row together, and those who did not oars rowed with their hands, and the fishing boat flew forward like an arrow off the string.

From the outside, the reeds seem to be dense and solid, like a wall, if you look closely, there are actually curved passages in some places, Duan Laosan asked the little man, "Can the boat go?" With so many reeds, the water should be shallow. ”

"You can walk the boat," the little man affirmed, "the reeds are all planted by hand, and next to them is a waterway that has been set aside, so as long as you don't make a mistake, the boat won't run aground." After a pause, he added: "Most people only know that reeds have to grow on the ground, and in such a dense reed pond, if they feel that they have to walk, they will be fooled, and if they get off the boat, they will get stuck in the mud at the bottom of the water." ”

Sure enough, the boat burrowed into this reed, and did not run aground, and looked at the reeds next to it, which were indeed growing on the ground. It turned out that a deep ditch was manually dredged next to the reed roots, which was specially used for boating, and the design was quite ingenious.

The waterway continued to bend, and the players' eyes widened. Staring ahead, he suddenly saw a small boat, stopped at a bend in front, but there was no one on the boat, and when he got closer, he took a closer look. The boat is broken, it's almost bad, it's there, it seems to be to block the way, this waterway is narrow, and if you want to drag the boat away, it's not easy, and the stone lock pulled the broken boat twice. The boat is dangling in the water, but there are reeds on both sides, where is it towed?

"Sit on it and paddle forward." Duan Laosan said.

Shi Suo suddenly came to his senses, jumped on the broken boat, twisted the right direction, used the wooden pole he had just pulled out as a penny for the boat, propped himself up and rowed forward, and only when he reached a wide point of water did he leave the broken boat aside.

The reeds are thinning, and a slope is overgrown with wild grass. In front of you, this is Brother Island. Two small boats, lying across the shore, were not even tied to ropes. It is conceivable that someone must have just come ashore, and he was so panicked that he didn't care to stabilize the boat, and looked towards the island, a few rows of houses, patches of dirt slopes and ditches, and a few figures. As they ran away in panic, the team opened fire, "Horn, horn," and the sound of the gunfire startled a flock of birds in the grass next to them, and suddenly flew up.

The team members abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and ran to the island as if flying, the island was full of potholes, running and stumbling, everyone learned a lesson, and when passing by the houses on the island, they sent two team members into the house to search, and the rest of the people kept walking and kept chasing forward.

This small island is not big, and after a while, I will see the end, and a few bandits are dismantling a pontoon bridge in front.

Originally, the island was divided into two parts, separated by a water surface several zhang long, so it was called Brother Island, with a few small boats to set up a pontoon bridge, for passage, at this time, the bandits had run to the island over there, if they dismantled the pontoon bridge, then they had to go back to the boat to catch up, time-consuming and laborious, but I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up again. Shi Suo saw this situation, he was in a hurry, picked up his gun, and knocked down a bandit who was demolishing the pontoon bridge with a "horn", and the rest of the few were startled, and behind Shi Suo, the team members also fired, "Horn, horn," The bandits didn't care about drawing the board, put down the work in their hands, spread their legs, and fled forward lifelessly.

The planks on the pontoon bridge have been half removed, and a small boat near this side has been moved to that side, and there is a gap on the water, and the stone lock takes a big stride, runs to the shore and jumps, and jumps into the second boat, because of the excessive force, the boat shook violently for a while, and almost toppled over, and the stone lock leaned forward and closed for a while, and it was easy to stand firm, and quickly jumped forward to the third boat. At this time, Xu Hou also jumped on the boat, he had a lot of experience in sailing, and quickly stabilized the boat, and moved the small boat that was messed up by the bandits back to its original position.

The bandits in front of him have fled farther and farther, Shi Suo is anxious, climb the pontoon bridge with the remnants of the bridge plank, chase forward, board the land, see that the island here is slightly smaller than the one just passed, in addition to some thatched houses, there are many semi-underground buildings, only dig a pit in the ground, and then cover the grass roof, this kind of building is often found in the mountains, simple and rude, can be inhabited, but the island is wet, such a crypt is not applicable, I don't know what to do.

At this time, there were about seven or eight bandits who had fled in front of them, and some people ran up and stumbled, and the stone lock was a little strange, could it be that someone was injured inside? If you look closely, it is a few bandits holding a person, pushing and shoving, as if he is a prisoner.

The island is not big, the bandits have already run to the shore, a small bandit is untying a boat, and it will be boarded immediately, and the stone lock is still half a mile away from them, he knows that he will not be able to catch up if he runs, so he quickly picked up his gun and shot it "horn".

At the same time, Shi Suo felt that his feet were slipping, he didn't know what he was tripping on, and the bullets he fired lost their accuracy, and in a crypt next to him, several bamboo arrows flew out "suddenly".

The bamboo arrow came suddenly, the stone lock rolled to the ground, the bamboo arrow passed by, one of them cut through the cotton jacket, some pain, the stone lock didn't care to check whether he was injured, and he didn't care about the crypt next to the bamboo arrow, pushed the bullet, and continued to shoot at the bandits who fled in front.

"Horn, horn," the bullet shot at the bandits who were about to board the ship, in addition to the stone lock, there were also the team members commanded by the third section in the back, who were shooting at a long distance in front of the support, although the distance was far away, they didn't hit, but they beat those bandits to the ground, not daring to get up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Suo turned over and got up, and ran forward as if flying, behind, the support fire of the team members continued to shoot, "Horn, horn," the bullets whistled in the air, Xu Hou and Lao Qi had already pulled the boat that the bandits had moved back to its original position, re-mounted the bridge board, repaired the pontoon bridge, and the team members behind rushed over one after another.
