Chapter 078: Set off by boat
In the afternoon, Lei Biao and Lin Xia went to the dock, this time to find the fleet, Lin Xia spent a lot of money, after all, the tow family with the mouth, ask for a safe arrival, go to don't have any shipwreck accidents, she learned to swim and drown in ancient times, what if the shipwreck is passed back this time! She has a husband and a son, a house and land, and she doesn't want to give up such a good life to go back!
Therefore, Lin Xia spent three times the price to hire a boatman, rented a big boat, and arrived in Yaohai City safely.
The two of them got on the boat and checked it, and they both felt satisfied, but Lin Xia was a little afraid of water, which may be the sequelae caused by swimming, Lei Biao asked her to stay on the shore to rest, and she went into the boat and walked around everywhere, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she left with Lin Xia satisfied.
On the second day, Lei Biao asked people to carry all the things on the boat, and the things that should have been packed in Yaohai City have been packed, and the rest is nothing more than some light things, but fortunately, there is not a lot of luggage.
On the morning of the third day, Li Yunfei came with his bride Cuiyu, and there were thirty people behind him, just a dart team, and they were going to follow Lei Biao and Lin Xia's fleet to Yaohai City, and they could also take care of them on the way.
There are not many people in Lei Mansion, and there are no buyers and maids, so there are only fifteen people accompanying them, which is really much worse than the relocation of those big families.
On the boat, Lin Xia specially vacated a compartment for Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, spread a mat in it, and put a lot of toys, which coincided with the hottest time in summer, Lin Xia was afraid that they would be hot, and specially let people carry a bag of saltpeter on the boat to make ice, and replenish ice cubes from time to time to make cool.
Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er are very well-behaved, the rickety feeling on the boat makes the two little guys very happy, sitting on the mat and rolling around, playing with a rattle, yelling at the nurse when they are hungry, and sleeping by themselves when they are sleepy.
The boat is quite stable, every day will dock for the boat to supply, Lin Xia will also happily pull Lei Biao, take the two sons off the boat to walk around, experience different folk customs and customs, and buy a lot of local specialties to taste, but Lin Xia feels that the taste is very general.
There are still two days to go to Yaohai City, Lin Xia can't help but start looking forward to it, and he has made up the beautiful scenery of sun, beach, and waves in his head, and the ancient environment has not been polluted, presumably the sea water must be crystal clear, there must be a lot of delicious seafood in the sea, just catch some sea urchins
Sea cucumbers, catch some salmon and cod, it's a big meal!
Lin Xia began to think about what kind of seafood to cook in Yaohai City to eat, but suddenly the boat shook, and her beautiful imagination was shaken, and she looked at Lei Biao with a confused expression, "What's wrong?" ”
"Take care of the child, don't come out, I'll go out and have a look first." Lei Biao instructed Lin Xia and hurriedly walked out of the cabin.
Lin Xia suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, could they have met a water bandit?
I have long heard the boatman say that this Yaohai City has the largest wharf in the Wu Dynasty, and there are many overseas merchants who come and go, transporting a lot of overseas things. Therefore, there are many seafood merchants who will buy some rare goods from Yaohai City and sell them to various counties, which is quite profitable.
But there will not only be honest people in every place, there will always be so many robbers and bandits, relying on the mountains to be mountain bandits, and relying on the coast to be water bandits.
Therefore, the water bandits in Yaohai City are specialized in robbing small fleets or caravans, and ordinary people will not face the water bandits, because they have no power, no power, and no martial arts, they are all ordinary people, and they will rob the money and goods, and the most important thing is to save their lives, after all, they died in a different place these years, and they died if they died, and their families couldn't find it if they wanted to.
As long as there is no hundred-person water bandit group within the jurisdiction, and there are some lethal ones, the government will send people to exterminate them, but the kind of people who gather to rob small boats and small businessmen, the government can't control it, and it can't catch people, so there are a lot of water bandits on the waterway to Yaohai City.
The leading fleet stopped, and the fleet behind also stopped one after another, Li Yunfei followed the boat behind Lei Biao, walked out and glanced at Lei Biao, and found that their fleet was surrounded by seven small boats of the same size.
There were six people standing on each boat, looking like they were not good, and when they saw a Lei Biao coming out of the leading boat, one of them said: "Those on the boat, obediently hand over the silver to me, otherwise...... Hehe, you're welcome. ”
This voice was shouted with the power of the dantian, and the sound reached the cabin, Lin Xia shook his head secretly when he heard it, they didn't seem to be very smooth every time they moved, the first time they moved to Jimo City and met the mountain bandits, and now they moved to Yaohai City and met the water bandits, this luck is really good.
The two nurses who took care of the young master were obviously very nervous, seeing that they were holding the coats of the two young masters, and their finger joints were white, Lin Xia chuckled: "The two nurses don't need to be so nervous, after all, they are followed by the dart team of the Longmen Dart Bureau." ”
Hearing Lin Xia's comfort, the two nurses were not as nervous as they were just now.
Lei Biao frowned and looked around, there were not many people.
This time the Lei Biao fleet was stopped by a group of small water bandits, they turned out to be ordinary people nearby, but they didn't like to work in the field, they were lazy to eat, but they couldn't have no money to spend and nothing to eat, so they began to do some crooked things, first the owner stole a chicken and the west touched a dog or something, and then robbed a small businessman, and found that the robbery came quickly, much better than stealing chickens and dogs, so he simply became a water bandit.
They used the money they had stolen to buy a few large boats, and they went to several villages to gather a lot of people, and each of them took turns looking for robbery targets in this water, and specially selected those small merchants who came and went with goods, or small fleets with several small boats, and most of the small fleets were small families who moved to their homes, or went to visit relatives and relatives, and generally brought a lot of silver.
Although they did not become rich by robbery, they can usually eat and drink, eat and drink spicy, and live an extremely happy life.
And this time, they set their sights on Lei Biao's fleet.
This fleet looks like the scale is comparable to theirs, looking at the few boatmen outside the ship, there is not even a person to protect them, and from time to time there is the sound of a baby's giggling, at a glance, the small portal is about to move to Yaohai City, and the people who can move to Yaohai City generally have a little money, and they may be able to make a lot of money if they rob them.
"Obediently hand over all the money, and we will let you live, if not...... There are so many people drowned in this river! The water bandit led by the leader said, already waiting for Lei Biao and Li Yunfei to present the money bag.
"Their boat looks good, so let's take it too." Someone said.
The moonlight tonight is very good, the lake is sparkling in the moonlight, very beautiful, and these water bandits who are giggling and laughing in the moonlight look a little scary.
The leading bandit glanced at Lei Biao's boat and said with a smile: "This boat is good!" Come, give you a boat, and all of you will come out, and the ships will be ours, but we will have to search your body before you can get on the boat!" ”
The leading water bandit was very loud, it was a little noisy in the quiet night, the two Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er who were sleeping were disturbed by this sound, this sleep was not good, Xiao Xu'er was the first to cry, protesting that he didn't sleep well, and then Xiao Chen'er also cried together, and the cry of the two milk dolls came out of the cabin in an instant.
"Yo, there's a milk doll in there!" One of the bandits said, "Hurry up, or we'll snatch your milk doll and throw it into the water, and you won't regret it!" ”
When the words fell, the surrounding bandits burst into laughter, as if Lei Biao and Li Yunfei were already defeated under them, and they didn't look at them at all.
Lei Biao slowly raised his feet and stepped on the bow of the boat, only to find that Lei Biao was standing in the boat at the beginning, and his line of sight was just at the same level as him.
Seeing that Lei Biao was about to make a move, Li Yunfei hurriedly said, "Big brother, let the younger brother's brothers come, they haven't fought with the water bandits yet, so they can accumulate a little experience, and they can transport goods by water in the future." ”
After getting Lei Biao's eye agreement, Li Yunfei gave an order, "Brothers, come out for me!" ”
As the words fell, a group of uniformly dressed men gradually walked out of the cabins on the three ships, each holding a scimitar in his hand, the result of the last ransack of the Scar King.
The silver scimitar startled the bandits, but they didn't expect them to resist, and the led bandits shouted, "Don't be afraid, they must be scaring us!" ”
As soon as the bandit's words fell, someone over there had already jumped onto the bandit's boat, brandished a knife and slashed directly at the bandit's stomach, and the man's stomach immediately bled profusely.
The water bandit who had been slashed screamed, and immediately fell backwards, already incapacitated, and the people around him were startled, and before they could react, some people had already jumped on their boats one after another, brandishing the scimitar in their hands mercilessly.
After a while, screams rang out, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
In these years, only the officers and soldiers who have been on the battlefield can be seriously trained, these water bandits are simply fancy, those dart masters have been trained by Lei Biao's set of methods, and it is not too easy to deal with this group of water bandits, but there are also some dart masters who can't get used to the boats floating on the water, and almost killed their own families.
The leader of the water bandits saw that the people he brought were knocked into the water one by one, and he was silent, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, and was thinking of a way to deal with it, when he saw Lei Biao on the opposite boat looking at them and didn't seem to notice him.
His eyes rolled twice, and the bandit leader quickly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, jumped violently, and tried to jump onto Lei Biao's boat to fight him desperately, shouting: "Take your life!" ”
Thump!
Lei Biao glanced at the bandit leader jumping in the water with a little disgust, but he didn't expect this person to look quite tall, but he didn't expect his legs to be short, and he couldn't even jump at such a distance.
Lei Biao kicked the scimitar in his hand away, stretched out his long arms, and lifted the person out of the water with one hand like an eagle catching a chicken.
