Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, and said, "Then you are such a first-class water (xìng), are there so many girls waiting in line to marry you?" I guess in another two or three years, the threshold of your family will be flattened by the girl. ”

But when the little grasshopper heard this, he shook his head and said, "Our family is an exception, we catch water ghosts, and we do dangerous living, and now there is no master family willing to provide for it, so we can only do small work." ”

After speaking, the little grasshopper raised her head and looked at Su Jinyao, and said, "So, I must follow Sister Liu out this time, I want to make a difference, so that the owners of the dock can see that we people are still useful." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, patted the little grasshopper on the shoulder, and said, "Raise a thousand soldiers (rì), use soldiers for a while." Is it true that the country does not feed its soldiers because it does not fight? The army must be in a state of readiness at all times, so their ideas are really wrong, and you people are the ones who are really capable. But on the contrary, if you repeatedly bow down to the bandits, but ignore your role, then the bandits will become more and more rampant. ”

The little grasshopper looked at Su Jinyao with gratitude and respect, and said, "Sister Liu, what my cousin said is right, you are really not an ordinary woman. ”

After speaking, the little grasshopper scratched the back of his head again and said: "Actually, to be able to have such a big responsibility, this pride (qíng) who directly wants to take the boat and people out to fight the water bandits is not an ordinary person." ”

Su Jinyao was praised by the little grasshopper, and her heart was also beautiful.

Then he remembered the tricks he had just seen him teach those people, and thought about asking each other for a few tricks, and said, "Your tricks are really powerful, but I don't think they're powerful enough." I'll show you two more tricks and see if you can use them. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao pulled out her Luan Feng cone, waved it casually, and looked for a feeling.

Then she formally put on a few postures, and then demonstrated the tricks she thought of herself and combined with the point (xué) technique to show the little grasshopper.

The little grasshopper was stunned. After Su Jinyao's demonstration was finished, she also learned to dance.

But after he finished learning, he shook his head and said, "No, this move doesn't work at all." ”

Su Jinyao said: "I think my few moves can hit the key point, but your few moves are more ruthless, why is it not practical?" ”

The little grasshopper still shook his head and said, "But Sister Liu, think about it, these tricks are to be used underwater." ”

"Underwater?" Su Jinyao repeated, and then seemed to have a little clue.

Then I heard the little grasshopper explain: "To deal with water ghosts underwater, you can only hold it for as long as you can with one breath." Sometimes it's not about the tricks, it's about who spends the most time underwater. And Sister Liu's moves, fighting on land, are definitely a fatal move. But when you put it in the water, you have to calculate the direction of the water flow and the resistance under the water, and any move is like slow motion. But if you exert a little too much force, (xiōng) can't mention this tone, and the other party will win without a fight. ”

After Su Jinyao listened, she suddenly realized. There are indeed a lot of factors to consider underwater, and your own tricks seem ruthless, but they may indeed be thankless tricks in the eyes of experts like Little Grasshopper.

Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, a little unwilling. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "What if there was a way to extend the time underwater?" Wouldn't these tricks be more practical? ”

The little grasshopper asked rhetorically, "How to prolong?" The most taboo thing about underwater combat is ventilation. Every time you float and dive, the amount of energy used will be exponentially consumed. Especially when it comes to re-diving, it will be very difficult. ”

Su Jinyao snapped her fingers and said, "I do have a way to let each of you save a breath." ”

When the little grasshopper heard this, his face was shocked, and then he shook his head and said: "Our family has tried those tricks such as plugging in the tube and carrying the air bag, but they are completely useless." Especially being airsacked will increase the resistance, sometimes you can't dive at all, and it is easy to be pierced by the enemy. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "The reason is pretty much the same, but if you only have one breath, one of the smallest air bags is enough." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao pointed to the water under the boat and said, "Is there any?" Let's start with two big fish, and I'll give you a detailed explanation. ”

"Fish?" A string of question marks floated on the grasshopper's head.

But he is a man of action, after Su Jinyao finished speaking, he ran and dragged a fish over, shook it off and threw it under the boat, and when he dragged it up again after a while, there were more than a dozen fish jumping around in it.

Su Jinyao said: "Quick, get the biggest fish out, slaughter it, and open the belly." I took the swim bladder to use. ”

Men are the pillars of the family

Air bladder! The little grasshopper also had a flash of inspiration when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ha, Sister Liu is so smart, this method should work." ”

There is air in the swim bladder, and the swim bladder is so small that it never takes up space; It is good to seal (xìng), so you don't have to worry about air leakage.

Although there is a limit to the amount of air that a small swim bladder can store, in the water, an extra breath of air means a longer dive.

In the end, the result is just like what the grasshopper said, it can definitely be won without a fight.

Dig out the swim bladder and wash it, although it still smells fishy, but for people who run the whole (rì) boat, this fishy smell is simply the most familiar smell.

There are also many ways to carry the swim bladder, such as it can be directly held in the mouth, and it can be breathed when it is bitten when needed.

However, this is not suitable for fighting the enemy, and once you bite the swim bladder because of nervousness, you will waste this precious breath.

The most convenient way is to tie it to the arm, the swim bladder is very smooth, and it will hardly form any resistance in the water. And it's very convenient to use, and you can suck air when you bite it into your mouth.

The downside is that it's easy to expose. If the other party discovers this secret and follows suit, then this killer move is completely useless.

Of course, in the end, how to use this swim bladder is completely up to the person who enters the water to decide.

The little grasshopper was overjoyed by this new discovery, and simply threw herself into the five bodies that Su Jinyao worshipped.

Su Jinyao said: "Don't be too happy. The so-called there are people outside the world, and there are people outside the sky, and there may be people who come up with a better way for us, in short, we can't be careless. ”

In fact, Su Jinyao wanted to say that if there was an oxygen cylinder, then everything would be OK.

But this kind of problem that goes against the development of the current times, Su Jinyao still doesn't mention it.

And she was a killer in her previous life, not a weird science maniac, and she couldn't make anything similar to a potato power generation in ancient times.

However, the little grasshopper was still excited to take care of himself, and Su Jinyao didn't bother him.

With such a small discovery, maybe it can really inspire him, and it is good to give these boatmen and sailors more vitality.

Su Jinyao returned to the bow of the boat and looked around. Seeing Su Jinyao coming over, he politely moved out of the way and said to Su Jinyao: "Young Master Liu, I was just about to ask you, with your calculations, how long will it take for us to chase the Liu family's cargo ship?" ”

Su Jinyao noticed that she asked Touzhang "how long can you chase the Liu family's cargo ship", instead of asking him "can you chase the Liu family's cargo ship", which proves that Tou Zhang also had a prejudgment and felt that the Liu family's ship did not go too far.

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Judging from the experience of the head Zhang and the current speed of our ship, how long will it take to drive to the place where the water ghost sharpened the nails the day before?" I felt that it was not far from the Liu family's boat there. ”

Tou Zhang analyzed: "We used to sail normally, although the speed was not slow, but we were not in a hurry. From the pier to the place where the water ghost was met, it actually took about ten hours. But our ship was much faster than before, and it was moving at full speed, and in seven or eight hours at most, it would definitely be possible to get to the place where the accident had occurred. ”

"Well, that's ten hours, and we'll be able to meet those bandits." Su Jinyao said firmly: "Most of my judgment comes from intuition, but I think that first, they didn't send someone to the Liu family to ask for ransom, and second, they didn't alarm the other forces around them, so they should still be standing still." So we're rushing over now, it's definitely too late. ”

"But what about the ship's people? Will it be okay? He opened his head and sighed, and said, "They are all people with families and children, if they are really killed like this, how many families must be missing a pillar." It's like the sky is falling. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao is also worried about the people on the boat, at least the fish head that she has come into contact with is good.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao analyzed: "If Liu Jiachuan's people don't resist strongly, they should all be alive." Because there aren't many of those bandits, otherwise they wouldn't have sent just three of us to deal with us. If there were too many of them, they could have done another deal and robbed us by the way, instead of trying to scare us away. ”

He nodded his head again and again, and said, "I hope so, I hope so." If they don't come hard, maybe those water bandits will keep them, maybe they will be useful in the future. If you really want to come hard...... Alas. ”

Sighing again, he put his head on and didn't know what to say.

Su Jinyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen." We can only do our best and resign ourselves to God's destiny. If there's really anything big, there's no way around it. ”

After saying that, Su Jinyao turned (shēn) and left, going to her small cabin to rest.

Clippers are fast because the boat (shēn) is small and has a lot of power. And those useless cumbersome designs have been canceled.

As a result, the rest cabins of the ships were very small, and the boatmen slept in bunks, and the houses where the heads lived were all two bunks below.

Fortunately, there were not many people on this cruise, except for some people who had to take turns to drive the boat, and the rest of the people were more than enough to live in a few separate rooms.

Su Jinyao was also assigned to a separate cabin, which was also a bunk on the lower two floors. But the little one could only sit in the bunk when he entered the cabin, otherwise the second person would not be able to enter the house.

The time calculated before is safe, as long as you pay attention to the boat.

Once you reach a place where you were blocked by water ghosts before, and if you go any further, you may encounter water ghosts again, and you may even encounter a large number of water bandits.

Therefore, everyone is seizing the time to rest, and Su Jinyao is no exception.

I slept for more than two hours. Su Jinyao (shēn) then went back and forth, then went to find the head Zhang and asked him if he had a map of the river in front of him.

He kept an eye on the condition of the boat and did not rest. Hearing Su Jinyao say that she wanted a map of the direction of the river, she said, "We are all rough people, where will we look at the map." However, I have been running in this river for 20 years, and I can figure out how many bends in the river and where and where (qíng) the conditions are with my eyes closed. Liu Gongzi, you need to know the situation of that paragraph (qíng), let me tell you about it. Drawing, free of charge. ”

Su Jinyao also knew that for these people who might not even be able to hold a pen, it was really difficult for them to let them draw. said: "I just want to analyze it and see where the Liu family's ship might be parked." Or will it suddenly change its route and go somewhere else? I'm afraid we'll chase it blindly and end up in the air. ”

Rapid Raid

Studying the trend of the river, it can be said that he is a real connoisseur. （#…… ）

Even if he didn't know how to draw a map of the topography of the river, he thought about it, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and used his cigarette stick and eye bag as props, put them on the deck together, put a simple figure, and began to explain to Su Jinyao.

It is said that there is a river bay more than a mile before them where they met the water spirit. The bay is shallow in summer and deep in winter.

Probably the reason is that there is a lot of water in summer, which washes away some places where the river is blocked, and there are many places where the water flows, and the river basin is wide, and the water in the river bay is less.

In winter, there is less precipitation, and many creeks and rivers are silted. The water in the bend does not flow out, but there is more.

Rather, it is a bay that occasionally becomes a temporary docking place for ships traveling far away in winter.

"There are no wharves or shipyards in this bay. They are all small problems when the boat is moving, and they are afraid that the small problems will drag into big problems, so they park the boat in it, which will not block the river, and the shallow water flow is also easy for the workers to repair. ”

Su Jinyao is also a smart person, and from the location of a few simple objects in this place, she understands a general idea.

Therefore, Su Jinyao analyzed: "Could it be that the Liu family's boat also encountered a small problem, stopped in the river bay to repair, and then encountered water bandits?" ”

He nodded and said, "Very likely." Moreover, although the Su family's ship is a very large cargo ship, the actual carrying capacity is not large, and it can still be repaired temporarily. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Then, it is very likely that the sailors on the previous boat should cooperate with each other." Someone manipulated the boat and forced the Liu family's boat to stop in the river bay. The other part of the bandits has been there for a long time. ”

"Young Master Liu, what kind of pig and rabbit do you say? Are water ghosts still related to pigs and rabbits? "Opened his head and interrupted it, but he made Su Jinyao happy.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "There is nothing wrong with pigs." I mean. It is likely that the Liu family's boat is still parked in that bay. We should be careful when we approach, and if we can be sure that the boat is really there, it is best to think of rescuing the people first without alarming the water bandits. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Liu. What do you say, what do you do. "Put the head Zhang is already Su Jinyao's head.

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then, with our current speed, if we pass through the river bay at full speed, will there be water ghosts who can chase after them from underwater?" ”

"It's impossible." He shook his head and said, "Even if you are a good hand like a little grasshopper, if you don't go into the water in advance and wait for our ship to pass by, it is absolutely impossible to go into the water before the boat is close, and then chase the boat." ”

Su Jinyao said: "This is easy to do." Our clipper boat sailed by, and it shouldn't have attracted the attention of the other side. After all, our ship went back before, so they were a little less guarded for the time being, and they wouldn't have thought that we would change ships and come back so soon. After sailing, our men go into the water and dive through the water to probe the situation (qíng) and wait for an opportunity to save people. ”

"Swimming this far away?" He was a little surprised, and said, "Maybe no one can do it on our boat except for the little grasshopper." ”

Su Jinyao said: "The problem has almost been solved, these people can definitely swim over." I'll find a way to approach by land, and let these people save people when the bandits only notice me. ”

"You? Liu Gongzi, you mean that you want to ship in person? He looked at Su Jinyao again, and then said, "Young Master Liu, you are really good, righteous and refreshing." But you little (shēn) sub-bones...... You don't have the water (xìng) of the grasshopper, you can go to the shore for a few strokes, if you deal with a gang of water bandits, let's let us rough men who work the boat all day long. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "You also look at my boys and girls, and think I'm a useless little white face, right?" ”

He grinned with his head open, but didn't say it explicitly. But what he meant, he probably thought that Su Jinyao was like this.

Su Jinyao's heart was even more funny, but fortunately she was not exposed as a daughter (shēn), otherwise these boatmen and sailors might not allow her to ship.

Su Jinyao pulled out the pair of Luan Feng cones from her waist and said, "This is the guy I eat, it's not a magic weapon, but it's not an ordinary thing." If it were to fight, I guess the people in your boatload combined would not be able to beat me. Of course, I definitely can't do it with water, and if I soak this (shēn) bone in cold water, it will probably be finished. So I said, I took a detour by land, on the other side of the river, and blocked the boat with the bandits. The boat was in chaos, and this side went into the water to save people. ”

Zhang Zhang looked at the Luan Feng cone in Su Jinyao's hand, which was antique but flashed with a touch of coldness, looking at the one that did (tǐng) has a posture.

Look at Su Jinyao again, although no matter how you look at it, she is still a little white face, but I have to say that the momentum in Su Jinyao's eyes is definitely everyone's style. I heard that Su Jinyao knew Helian in charge, maybe this kid really has something extraordinary.

He opened his head and said, "Okay, the ship will cross the river bay and anchor." I'll leave the little grasshopper and a boatman to pick up the boat, and the rest of the people will wait for any movement on your side, and immediately go to save people while there is chaos. Anyway, let's get the people back first. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's right." ”
