Liu Ziguang and his entourage hurriedly ran over to ask, it turned out that not long after they left, there were a few masked people on horseback who ran around and threw a few torches on the thatched house, afraid that the grass house would not be easy to ignite after the rain, and specially poured a barrel of oil, and the boat parked by the lake was also scuttled, and the mother and daughter tried their best to stop it, but it was not the opponent of a few strong men, and when the masked man walked away, he took his clothes and went to the lake to carry water to pour the fire, which was useless at all, so he watched the shelter being burned. The neighbors had gone out to work, and by the time everyone saw the fire, it was too late.

It must have been done by the evil slave of the Ma family, and everyone was indignant, but now that the arsonist has run away, even if he catches a thousand knives, it will be useless, and the top priority is to settle the mother and daughter. Liu Ziguang took out two hundred taels of silver and stuffed it to Zeng Cheng, and the desperate mother and daughter finally accepted it after a long time, it was late, and everyone was not in the mood to stay for dinner, so they distributed rice and grain and other things to the nearby fishermen, comforted Zeng Cheng's mother and daughter for a few words and left. Zeng's mother and daughter could only temporarily stay overnight on a neighbor's boat and wait for the next day to make plans.

Liu Ziguang and they left stupidly, if it wasn't for the fixed time to rush to the capital, a few of them really wanted to go to Huaiyin County to find the Ma family to seek justice, of course, in Liu Ziguang's dictionary, justice means to also set a fire to burn the Ma family to the ground, then it can be considered flat.

When I come back, I will go to Huaiyin County to visit your Ma family, Liu Ziguang thought viciously. There are too many unfair things in this world, as long as I see what I can and what I can, I must seek justice.

Everyone returned to the ship, hastily ate dinner and rested, and was speechless all night.

The next day, the fire was lit early to start the boat, and the paddle steamer with enough coal drove through the prosperous Yangzhou in one breath, and did not stop, directly along the Yangtze River to the west, to the Beijing Division, everyone stood by the boat and watched the vast Yangtze River, the heart fluctuated, when the Qing army entered the customs, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, until the Yangtze River moat, only to be stopped by the army rescued by the king of Qin in the southern provinces, and the Tartar army that was not accustomed to water was half crossed and attacked, and the Qing army was defeated, and then took advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition, recovered a lot of lost land in the north, and finally because of the internal factional struggle, the palace was in civil strife, The Northern Expedition came to a standstill in Shandong, the two sides came and went, back and forth, the Central Plains were frequent, the people were not able to make a living, the iron factory was made in that chaotic time, relying on the wisdom of the old factory owner and a group of fierce brothers in the troubled times to become a strong party.

The steamer sailed along the Yangtze River, preparing to enter Nanjing through the Shuixi Gate.

Walking to the northern suburbs of Nanjing, the captain beckoned Liu Ziguang to come out to see the scenery, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, on the Zhidu Mountain, there is a famous swallow rock. The north, northeast and northwest sides of the rock rock are suspended by the river, and only the south side is adjacent to the river bank land. Because the stone peak abruptly rises on the river, three sides are empty, and the swallow spreads its wings and wants to fly from afar. Straight desecration mountain is 20 zhang high, south even the river bank, the other three sides are surrounded by the river water, the terrain is very dangerous, the swallow rock always chokes the big river, the terrain is dangerous, the rocks under the storm beat the stone, surging, it is an important Yangtze River ferry and a military important place. It is known as the first rock of the Yangtze River by the world.

The swallow rock perched on the mountain is the best place to enjoy the river view. Climb to the rock, see the rolling Yangtze River, mighty and mighty, a thousand miles, magnificent, the river surface is sparkling, the river sails are dotted. The captain pretended to explain to Liu Ziguang in an elegant manner on the side, after Emperor Taizu set the capital of Nanjing, he went to Yanziji for a trip and left a poem: "Yanziji is a scale, and Changhong is a pole?" The crescent moon on the horizon is a hook, saying that I have a lot of rivers and mountains. "Changhong as a pole, the crescent moon as a hook, swallow rock for the stone, want to scale the world, extraordinary spirit, worthy of being the founding emperor of my dynasty. In the future, literati and writers from all walks of life liked to go to Yanziji to chant poems. It is also a favorite place for celebrities and celebrities in Nanjing.

Liu Ziguang nodded, and saw that the Peng sisters also came out of the cabin to watch the scenery out of the corner of his eye, and he wanted to recall a poem reciting the Yangtze River, Su Dongpo's "Red Cliff Nostalgia" may have been born, and I really can't think of other famous sentences for a while, it's a pity for this scene.

However, Liu Ziguang, who had sharp eyes, soon discovered something interesting, and he pointed to the top of Yanziji and asked the captain: "Do celebrities still have to carry big kites when they chant poems?" The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, they saw several figures on the rock, one of whom was carrying a huge triangular kite on his back. A few people stood there as if observing something, and then the triangular kite took a few steps back and disappeared from sight.

、

"What are they doing?" Peng Jingwei pulled her sister's sleeve and asked, but this time, Peng Jingrong, who was well-informed, was also a little confused, could this ......

"Flyer." Liu Ziguang and Peng Jingrong said this word together, and as soon as the words fell, I saw a figure suddenly rushing out of Yanziji, hanging under a triangular kite, only rushing towards the Yangtze River, the big kite rushed out of Yanziji, hovering in the air, and a person below shouted happily, provoking all the boatmen on the Yangtze River to look at him.

Non-powered delta wing, I didn't expect the sports of the Ming Dynasty to be so developed, Liu Ziguang was very surprised, the whole ship was even more shocked, people can fly like birds, it really subverted all the concepts in their hearts, all the people looked at the big kite, the river was full of applause, the captain sent someone to quickly bring a few clairvoyant mirrors for Liu Ziguang to use.

Looking through the clairvoyant, you can see what kind of fine cloth the big kite is made of, I don't know what kind of material the bracket is made of, and there are a few straight threads that hold the whole kite in place. The men below were on shelves with their hands and feet, wearing tight-fitting suits and wearing glass eye shields on their faces. The man had a few ropes at hand, and he pulled them from time to time, as if to control the direction of flight. It's very professional. I don't know if it's sold in the capital, you must make a play with it, this thing is a high-end club thing in the 21st century, the price is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to play at all. Liu Ziguang thought while watching.

The kite flew over Liu Ziguang's boat, and the flying man waved to them proudly, Peng Jingwei responded happily with her feet, shouting: "It's fun, I want to play too." ”

Suddenly a cross wind blew, the big kite in the sky a few times, one side of the wings were blown by the wind, as if out of control, began to circle randomly, the flying man also hurriedly up, and finally in the exclamation of the river, the scale fell down, and suddenly fell into the river, the big kite had no buoyancy, loomed on the water surface a few times and sank, the flying man also disappeared into the river.

Liu Ziguang's boat was the closest to the wrecked kite, and Liu Ziguang shouted: "Get into the water and get people!" Several boatmen on the boat plunged into the river without taking off their clothes, and Peng Jingwei also shouted: "Don't forget to catch the kite." ”

The paddle steamer stopped the ship urgently, put down the small sampan, and the boatmen surfaced from time to time to breathe, and then plunged down, and finally in the anxious waiting of everyone on board, the flyer was fished out of the water, put into the sampan, and then sent to the deck of the big ship, and the boatmen continued to salvage the big kite.

The trapeze has been sinking in the river for some time, his stomach is bulging, and he seems to have drunk a lot of water. The captain personally came to the rescue. The captain first checked the trapeze's mouth and nose to see if there were any mud and weeds, and then the captain knelt on one leg and bent the other leg, put the trapeze's belly on the thigh of the bent knee, held the trapeze's head with one hand, pressed his mouth down, and pressed the other hand on his back, pressing down the river water in the trapeze's stomach.

The water in his stomach was pressed out, but the flying man was still unconscious, and the captain probed his breathing, shook his head, and said, "It's out of gas." ”

Just now, the flying man who was still alive and jumping in the sky actually drowned, it's a pity, such a talent can't die easily, Liu Ziguang is very unwilling, you can do artificial respiration if you run out of breath! In short, we must do everything we can to save people.

waved his hand and called a big man to come over, this guy is tall and big, a person from the Western Regions, loyal and brave, of course, the most important thing is that his lung capacity is large enough.

"You, pinch his nose, hold his chin, blow mouth-to-mouth, blow after blowing, release your nose, and I'll help you press his chest." Liu Ziguang ordered Ma Ben.

Ma Ben did not hesitate to carry out the order, not to mention blowing mouth-to-mouth for a man, or blowing for the old sow, as long as it was General Liu's order, it must be absolutely implemented. No ambiguity!

Putting the trapeze down in a supine position, Ma Ben knelt aside, pinched the trapeze's nose, held the trapeze's jaw, took a deep breath, and then pouted the stinky mouth that had never brushed his teeth, and blew the air into it mouth-to-mouth. After blowing a breath, he moved his mouth away, and at the same time released the hand pinching his nose, Liu Ziguang pressed the trapeze's chest on the other side to help him exhale. According to Liu Ziguang's password, every time he shouts one, two, three, keep the frequency of once every three seconds. It was repeated so regularly for a few minutes, then sped up, and finally pleasantly surprised to find that the flying man was breathing.

The onlookers had never seen such a way to save people, and they were amazed. Liu Ziguang saw that the flying man was soaked and his body temperature was very low, so he ordered someone to send him into the cabin, take off his wet clothes, cover him with a quilt, and then ask the kitchen to make some ginger soup for him to drink.

Although the flying man was breathing, he was still unconscious, and was carried down by the boatmen.

At this time, the big kite was also salvaged, and everyone's attention shifted to this thing, the skeleton of the big kite was made of slender and hard steel bars and tough bamboo, the main part was made of extremely dense silk, and the rope made of thin steel wire was fixed on a mast-like thing in the middle of the kite, and the other end was fixed everywhere in the kite, stretching the whole kite to form a solid whole. Below are two shelves made of bamboo, the front one is used as a handrail and joystick, and the back one is used for footholdings. However, the overall structure could not resist the turbulent air current, so one side was broken by strong winds.

What a whimsical idea, the crowd marveled, and stroked the big kite with the mood of pilgrimage. "We can draw it and go back and make it." Peng Jingrong said, it seems that the eldest lady does not have the concept of intellectual property rights in her heart, but this is indeed a good way, the strongest painter is still the eldest lady, and at the moment Peng Jingwei instructed Yahuan Qiuxiang to quickly bring charcoal and paper.

Qiu Xiang agreed to go down to the cabin, and a boatman came out of the cabin at this time and told Liu Ziguang: "General, the person who fell into the water is awake, let the little one come and ask the life-saving benefactor to see him." ”

No, Lao Tzu saved his life, didn't come to see me, and made me go down to see him in the cabin. Who is this flying man? Liu Ziguang thought in surprise.

There are many delta wings hanging on the huge airship, and at the sound of an order, countless paratroopers fall from the sky, isn't it very windy
