Chapter 393: To the Dragon's Lair
Soon a week passed, and Ying Lao had been secretly paying attention to his father and Li Yuran's movements for the past few days, and sure enough, as soon as the morning of the seventh day was bright, his father secretly went out with a large bag and a small bag.
Elder Ying had been keeping an eye on his father, so he followed him after his father went out that day, and he didn't come out of the bushes until he saw his father throw his big bags and small bags on a boat parked on the shore and leave.
The reason why Win Lao did this was to let him follow his father to the Yellow River Dragon's Den, so Win Lao hid in the cabin alone, and soon after Bai Baihe came to the shore with a weak man.
As soon as the man came and hid in the cabin, Ying Lao found out that the man was Li Yuran, but Ying Lao couldn't figure out why his father didn't go to the people of his village for help, but found this weak man, and he didn't understand why his father would ask this weak man for help until the end.
After the river brought Li Yuran to the shore during the day, the two did not rush to get on the boat, but turned their backs to the boat and looked straight at the village, Ying Lao didn't know what they were looking at, but now he didn't dare to come out of the cabin.
Because he knew that his father knew that before the boat was opened, his father found out that he had secretly followed him on the boat, and he would definitely be driven off the boat, so Ying Lao didn't dare to squeak.
The two stood for a long time before Bai Baihe slowly said to Li Yuran: "Brother Li, are you sure you want to go?" This trip may be to die. ”
"The little Japanese devil ruined my family, my wife and parents died tragically at the hands of those beasts, if I wasn't lucky enough to escape, my daughter would also be ruined by those beasts, now that Wan'er has grown up, I am relieved, and besides, there is a sister-in-law to take care of her, even if I am not there, it doesn't matter." Li Yuran smiled slightly when he heard this, and his body with his back to him slowly turned around, as if life and death were like ordinary things to him.
After Li Yuran finished speaking, he stepped on the boat first, and Elder Ying, who was hiding in the cabin, just wanted to move his stiff body, but heard Li Yuran say again: "It's rare that Brother Bai trusts me so much, such a big thing can find me a foreign surname to help, if I am prevaricating, then I am not worthy of being a Chinese." ”
"Haha, that's right, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, I know that I didn't find the wrong person." During the day, he also laughed at this time, and then turned around without looking back and stepped on the boat.
Soon the river drove the boat to the center of the river during the day, and Ying Lao had been hiding in the cabin and found that the originally calm river suddenly had innocent wind and waves, and the boat was also washed away by waves of river waves.
Just when Elder Ying wanted to go out to see his father, he heard Bai Baihe say worriedly: "That place is full of dangers, if I have an accident first, Brother Li will leave the place as soon as possible."
I will directly sacrifice blood to wake up Ying Long, even if I can't kill those little Japanese devils, but I can't let them get that thing, otherwise our war will be over, and our descendants will always be enslaved by those beasts. ”
When Ying Lao heard this, he stopped the urge to go out to see his father, because he still wanted to know what his father was talking about, and he knew that he wouldn't say it even if he asked his father, so he chose to continue hiding, "Hmph, there are still people following us." ”
After the river came out of the village in the boat, he floated downstream along the course of the Yellow River, and Ying Lao didn't know how long it took, until he hid in the cabin and felt sleepy and drowsy, but saw that the river snorted coldly during the day.
"Is it a Japanese devil?" Li Yuran was sitting at the bow of the boat and staring at the river in a daze, when he suddenly heard Bai Baihe's words, he was stunned, but soon he ran to the stern of the boat and stared at a fishing boat that was following them not far behind him.
Bai Baihe shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, if it's Japanese devils, then they don't need to sneakily follow us, I guess those may be tomb robbers who came here to rob the tomb." ”
"Grave robbers? So why are they following us? Li Yuran looked at Bai Baihe in confusion.
Bai Baihe glanced at Li Yuran and looked at the boat hanging far behind him, thought about it, and said: "I don't know, maybe I suspect that we have met a fight, and I want to follow them to get a piece of the pie when the time comes." ”
"It's good if it's not a Japanese devil, those tomb robbers let them follow if they like." Ying Lao eavesdropped on the conversation between his father and Li Yuran in the cabin, and his hanging heart suddenly relaxed.
Because he was afraid of the Japanese devils, it should be said that he was afraid of the robbery in their hands, although he hated the devils who were inferior to the beasts in his father's mouth, but he also knew that manpower was limited after all.
He had heard his father say that the guns in the hands of the Japanese devils were hundreds of times more powerful than the shotguns in their village, and although Ying Lao was a mountain and river child, he had also seen this thing rob, and there were only three poles in their village.
One pole is passed down from generation to generation as a token of the village chief in the hands of each generation of village heads, and one pole is in the hands of the village guards who are responsible for guarding the safety of the village, because of their village's customs and geographical environment, their village has always had some strange things and wild beasts infested from ancient times to the present, so their village will have a village guard.
There is also a pole that hangs in the council hall in the east of the village all the year round, and a village like theirs is very centralized in addition to being closed, and when there is something important in their village, the village chief will organize all the people to gather in the council hall, and then the result can only be decided after the whole village meets and agrees.
This kind of centralization is like the Liangshan Juyi Hall, but now they are a village, not a cottage, so there is a shotgun hanging in that place all year round, but these are old shotguns.
These three rods are all things that have been handed down from the Republic of China, and Ying Lao also found that his father actually stole the shotgun that hung in the council hall in the past few days, and now his father is carrying the shotgun behind him, while holding the boat, his eyes are coldly staring at the boat behind him.
"A little further on, it's the shoal bend, where the river is narrow, and there are a lot of reefs, and when the boat passes the shoal bend, I'll take the boat to the shore, and I remember that after the shoal bend there will be a mangrove forest, and I'll drive the boat in and hide it, and you'll hide in it, and I'll have to find a way to scuttle their boat."
"Nope." Li Yuran pulled Bai Baihe and said: "It's too dangerous to do that, let them follow if they like it, let's park the boat two or three kilometers away from the dragon's lair, and walk the rest of the way." ”
"It's useless." Bai Baihe glanced behind him and shook his head and said: "The dragon's lair is in the ancient channel of the Yellow River, and the location is on the river beach more than ten kilometers away from us, because the Yellow River has been diverted and now it has become a barren land."
There is no shelter in the whole riverbank, and if we let them follow like this, then we will not have a chance to enter the dragon's den, but if we enter the dragon's den in front of them, it will be tantamount to telling them the entrance, so I must stop them. ”
Li Yuran was also stunned after listening to Bai Baihe's words, he couldn't think of a better way after thinking about it, and finally he could only agree with Bai Baihe's decision, but he drove the boat through the shallow bend in Bai Baihe and just stopped in a mangrove forest.
Suddenly, a person appeared under the cabin of the ship, this person was Ying Lao, I saw Ying Lao pat the dust on his body, and then looked at Bai Baihe with a smile and said, "Let me go and take my father." ”
Bai Baihe and Li Yuran were taken aback by this sudden person, and Bai Baihe even picked up the machete inserted in his waist, but when Bai Baihe saw the person clearly, they immediately stayed in place.
"Why are you here, do you know what we're going to do, you bastard is too messy." Before he could speak during the day, Li Yuran spoke first and taught him a lesson.
But at that time, how did the young Ying Lao know what it meant to be afraid, at this time, not only was he not afraid, but he was also a little faintly excited, and Ying Lao looked at the white river with a blue face.
Glancing at the puffing Li Yuran again, he said, "Of course I know, isn't it just to go into the dragon's den to block the Japanese devils?" Saying that, Win Lao smiled, not only did he come, but he also brought a sack of the village used to fry fish.
"Smack." During the day, when he saw the eloquent Ying Lao, he immediately slapped the old man on the head, and immediately won the old man and was slapped by the white river.
But he didn't dare to complain or say anything, just stood where he was and endured, "Lao Tzu will clean you up when he comes back." Bai Baihe knew that his second son had a stubborn temper, so he didn't care about Bai Yingshi.
It's just that after the hula slapped the old man, he took off his clothes and pants, then pulled out the machete and put it in his mouth, and then jumped into the water with a pop.
"Strange big brother, where did they go?" Swimming and diving for a man like Baihe, who grew up near the river, was like sleeping, and Ying Lao knew that his father might have swam under the shallows and ambushed him by now.
"I don't know, maybe they accelerated after the shoal bend, third brother, be careful, there are a lot of reefs and rocks in this shallow bend, don't break the boat, why don't you speed up after the shallow bend." One of the two men on the boat was at the helm at the stern, and the other was standing at the bow of the boat, constantly scanning the surroundings.
But before the two of them could finish their joy, suddenly there was a dull thud from the bottom of the boat, and then the man standing at the bow of the boat shook his whole body, and after this shaking he felt the hull sink a little more.
Seeing this, the man standing at the bow of the boat immediately couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and yelled at the person at the stern: "What's the matter with you, third child, you have said that you should be careful, be careful, how can this still collide?" ”
"No, it's not me, I didn't hit the reef." The man at the helm of the stern also sensed that the ship was sinking, and suddenly panicked, and his words were a little unfavorable.
", if it's not you, the ship will sink on its own." The man at the bow of the ship seemed to have not finished venting his anger in his heart, and by this time he was still blaming the man at the helm of the stern.
"Really, it's really not me, well, it seems that there is something at the bottom of the ship, and that thing is the one that scuttled our ship." At this time, the person at the helm of the stern was about to cry, but he was the one at the helm after all, and he could feel that the sound of the knock just now was not normal, but something was clearly gouging the bottom of their boat.
"What's the stuff that scuttles the ship?" The man standing at the bow of the boat was also shocked when he heard this, and then he saw his face change and said, "Shouldn't you have encountered a corpse in the water?"
I heard my grandfather say that this shoal is very crooked, although the current here is not fast but it is very deep, and there are often ships in distress here, I once heard Uncle He next door say that they once went out of the boat and encountered the water and fell, and as a result, the boat was scuttled and several people died. ”
