"What are you doing, do you want to be lazy!" When the guard saw that the two men had stopped, he ran over and whipped them without saying a word.

"His foot was pierced by a reed!" Yang Wu covered Yang Shun'er with his body and shouted loudly, the group of bandits were still on Shamen Island right now, and before he knew it, his relationship with this dwarf had become intimate. Due to Yang Shun'er's short stature and being a foreigner, he often became the target of bullying by other prisoners on the island, and Yang Wu naturally became his protector.

"What's wrong with the puncture, do you think you can't plow the fields at home? Who will do his rationing for him? The messenger on duty came over, and when he saw this burly and tough prisoner, he was also a little timid, and did not continue to whip. He knew very well what case the prisoner in front of him had committed before he came here, and a felony like this didn't have a few lives in his hands, if he pressed it tightly, and the other party killed him with a knife, then who would he go to to cry out for injustice?

"I'll cut Yang Shun'er's ration and let him rest to the side!" Yang Wu replied in a deep voice.

Cha Pao just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and sneered: "Okay, this is what you said, his amount falls on you, and you can't eat dinner if you don't have one!" ”

Yang Wu didn't speak, just nodded, he stretched out his right hand and took Yang Shun'er to help him up, and whispered: "Shun'er, you go to the shore to rest, don't wet the wound, it's troublesome if it suppurates!" ”

"Fifth brother, you are wearing such heavy shackles, and you are still asked to do it for me-" Speaking of this, Yang Shun'er's eyes were already red.

"Don't talk nonsense, hey, I hurt you, if it weren't for me, you might still be in the juggling team now, and you wouldn't have to come to this Salmon Island!"

"You can't say that, you didn't pull me into the gang at that time." Yang Shun'er hurriedly replied: "Besides, the government has issued sea fishing documents later, even if you let me go, I won't have a place to go?" These are fates! At the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Take it and mash it and put it on your wound, this thing is good for your wound!" Yang Wu stretched out his hands and fished out four or five reed roots in the water, stuffed them into Yang Shun'er's hands, turned around and lowered his head to work, Yang Shun'er looked at his back with tears, and limped towards the beach.

I don't know how much time has passed, suddenly Yang Wu felt dizzy, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand, trying to grab something that could be held, and a tingling pain made him sober up. He looked at his right hand, which was a handful of reed leaves, the sharp edges of the leaves cutting his palm, and blood slid down his arm.

"Yang Wu, let's do it here, go over there and clean it up!"

There was a voice behind him, Yang Wu turned around, and was surprised to see that the face of the poor did not have the tyrannical look on his usual days, he couldn't believe his ears, and the next words confirmed that he had heard correctly.

"Why do you want to keep going? What a cheap bone! Cha Pao scolded, turned around and walked to the shore, Yang Wu looked at Cha Pao's back with some confusion, and soon he understood what was going on. A prisoner walked up to Chapa, took out something from his bosom and handed it to Chapa, and when he saw Yang Wu staring at him, the prisoner turned around and arched his hand to Yang Wu. At this time, Yang Wu saw the other party's face clearly, it was one of the few prisoners who often bribed the guards to be lazy on weekdays.

"Fifth brother, are you okay?" Yang Shun'er saw the blood stain on Yang Wu's right hand, and hurriedly got up to greet him. Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let the reed leaves cut the hole, just sprinkle some pot ashes!" ”

"That's not good, the opening of the reed leaf doesn't look big, but it's very deep, it's going to be winter soon, and it's hard to close the mouth as soon as the water enters!" Yang Shun'er used a strip of cloth from the placket to bandage Yang Wu as she spoke.

"Where did the guys come from?" Yang Wu asked, pointing to a few men lying on the ground.

Yang Shun'er poked her head out, looked in the direction of Yang Wu's fingers, and said with a smile: "Those few?" It seems that they are all from Shandong, and the dwarf headed by him is from Yuncheng, and I heard that he was a magistrate in the yamen before he was confiscated, and he was assigned here for a murder case. On weekdays, the hands are very large, and they are very open on the island! How did the fifth brother ask about this? ”

"Nothing!" Yang Wu didn't mention Fang Cai's matter, he had a hunch in his heart that this group of people would take the initiative to come to him.

Sure enough, as Yang Wu expected, just after dinner, four or five people walked towards him, led by the man who was whispering to the guards in the afternoon, and he was still six or seven steps away before he fell to the ground: "In Song Jiang, Yuncheng, Xiashan Mountain, the brothers on the rivers and lakes raised their love and sent a bandit name 'Hu Baoyi', to meet Brother Yang!" ”

"Don't dare, I'm polite." Yang Wuxu hugged a fist, looked at the person in front of him coldly for a while, and saw that the man's five-short figure was a head taller than Yang Shun'er on the side, with a purple-black face and a three-point short beard under his chin, not amazing, but a pair of clear eyes, obviously a scheming character. The few people who followed him were all burly, they saw that Yang Wu was so cold, and he didn't announce his name, all of them showed a fierce light, obviously not good,

This Song Jiang didn't seem to feel Yang Wu's coldness at all, and took a few steps forward to stretch out his hand to pull Yang Wu's arm, and said with a smile: "Song heard Brother Yang's name when he went to the island, and knew that he was really a good man, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet him today, and he got the opportunity to get what he wanted in his life, which is really happy!" ”

Yang Wu took half a step back, avoided Song Jiang's arm, and sneered: "Yang is a certain death row prisoner, and he has never known Brother Song. Your Excellency's eulogy is not to be heard. Thank you for the afternoon's work here, a certain family has done a day's work, very tired, if there is nothing else, a certain family will have to rest! ”

"You thief, my brother lifted you, you dare to be so big!" The person behind Song Jiang couldn't hold it anymore, and he jumped out and threw his arms to give Yang Wu an old punch. Yang Wu took half a step back, looking coldly at the preparation for battle.

"Stop!" Song Jiang drank his subordinates, turned his head and smiled at Yang Wu: "My brother is very reckless, and I ask Brother Yang to forgive me." Since it's inconvenient today, let's talk about it next time! With that, he sang a fat song to Yang Wu, and then led his companion away.

When Song Jiang and his party walked away, Yang Shun'er asked in a low voice: "Fifth brother, why is this so, I think this Song Jiang is also very kind!" ”

"This Song Jiang is forming a gang on this Shamen Island, I'm afraid that there will be a plot, you and I are weak, if we are implicated, I am afraid that my life will not be saved, so I should be careful!"

"That's what the fifth brother said!"

In this way, for several days, the prisoners still went out to cut reeds as usual, and Song Jiang's gang symbolically worked for a while and then rested in the leeward place as usual, and the guards only didn't see it, perhaps because of Song Jiang's bribery, the guards' supervision of Yang Wu and Yang Shun'er was also a lot more relaxed. That Song Jiang didn't bother the two, and when they met by chance, they just smiled and nodded, and Yang Wu's guard gradually relaxed, and he also learned from other prisoners that this Song Jiang was a member of the government before he committed the crime, and his family was quite rich, and he was dotted up and down the island, and everyone said that he would stay on this Shamen Island for a year or two at most, and as long as he encountered an amnesty, he would be pardoned and go home. In addition, he is very popular on weekdays, and no matter who the prisoners on Salmon Island have difficulties and ask for him, he will try his best to help them, and pity the old and the weak. After a long time, Yang Wu's guard against it also faded.

In the blink of an eye, it was already October, and this Shamen Island was only separated from Liaodong by a sea, and the wind on the sea was strong, so it was already snowy in October, and the prisoners were thinly dressed, and they hid in their huts to avoid the wind and keep warm after dinner. Yang Wu and Yang Shun'er also hid in the shack, draped everything they could wear on their bodies, and surrounded the fire to keep warm. At this moment, there were two knocks on the door.

Yang Wu got up and opened the door, and a gust of cold wind and flying snow immediately poured in, only to see two people standing outside the door, led by Song Jiang, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, my family has sent some wine, a deer leg, please have a drink together!" ”

"What's so embarrassing about that!"

"The island has a light diet, and the weather is very cold, so if you don't drink some wine, how to keep out the cold, what's so embarrassing!"

Yang Wu hesitated for a moment, it was indeed as Song Jiang said, the food of the prisoners on the island was already very mean, and in winter, they were hungry early, and at this time, they smelled the aroma of wine and meat, and they were still patient, and the gluttonous worms in their stomachs had already started fighting, so they had to hug their fists and say: "Then it will be disturbed!" Lift the reed curtain and let Song Jiang in.

Song Jiang came into the house, put the wine pot and Yang Wu on the fire pit to warm the wine, the person behind him put the retort on the ground, Yang Shun'er looked for a long time and only found a gap in the black pottery bowl out, Yang Wu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Brother Song smiled, I can't even get together a bowl for drinking here, please wait for a while, I'll go to the shack next door to borrow a few bowls." ”

"What's the matter!" Song Jiang said with a smile, snatched the black pottery bowl, poured the wine, took a sip, and handed it to Yang Wu with a smile: "You and I pass the cup and drink, it's also a quick thing!" ”

"What Brother Song said is very true!" Yang Wu took a sip of the pottery bowl and handed it to the man who came with Song Jiang, who was a red-haired man with an ugly appearance, and a scar on his right forehead almost split his entire face in half, which looked quite scary. The man took the wine bowl and took a sip, and handed it to Yang Shun'er at the end. Song Jiang untied the lid of the retort, reached out and grabbed a piece of venison and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile while chewing: "Eating venison in winter is the most warm supplement, and the five Yang brothers work in shackles, so they have to eat a few more pieces!" "Poof! The scheduled update is not updated, forgive me!
