Chapter 33: The Boat

Wang Jian hurriedly walked out of the cabin, only to see the enemy ship bombarded the bow, and the ship caught fire when it boarded.

Wang Ji hurriedly followed the sailors to carry water to put out the fire, and suddenly saw another fire in the upper cabin, he carried a large bucket of water in each hand, kicked open the hatch, poured it in, and extinguished the fire. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a sudden violent shock to the hull of the ship.

When he stepped out of the hatch, he felt that the boat was spinning, and it turned out that the enemy ship had hit the rudder in a timely manner, and even the helmsman fell into the sea and died. Wang Ji saw that the boat was full of fire, and it sank in a blink of an eye, and his heart was very anxious, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a small boat tied to the port side, and his heart was happy, and he stepped forward, took out the broken dragon slaying knife and cut the rope that was bound, and with a bang, the boat fell into the sea.

Wang Jian jumped lightly, jumped into the boat, grabbed the oars, and rowed hard. At this time, the fishing boat was burning brightly, and the sea was red. Wang Ji pulled the pulp with all his might, thinking that he only had to row the boat until the fire did not shine anywhere, and if the enemy did not see the boat, he would think that everyone would be buried in the sea, and he would not chase after him.

The boat glided quickly on the surface of the sea, and in an instant it was out of the circle of fire. I heard the crackling of the fishing boat, and there was a raging fire burning everywhere on it. The enemy's gunboats did not come closer, but stopped at a distance and fired continuously. All the sailors on the fishing boat have been begging for a living on the beach all year round, and they all know the nature of the water, and they swim to the gunboat for help, but they are all killed in the sea by the gunboats.

Wang Ji did not dare to stop for a moment, and if he was chased by the enemy on land, he could still fight to the death. At this time, in the vast sea, the enemy ships had to bombard, even if they hit the boat a few feet away, the waves were agitated, and the boat had to capsize, but fortunately, Wang Ji had a long internal strength, and he rowed for half the night, and he was not tired.

When it was dawn, I saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was a gray fog all around. Wang Ji secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This fog is so good, it only takes half a day, and the enemy will not be able to find it anyway." ”

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the wind blew and the rain fell heavily. The boat was blown south by the wind. At that time, it was the middle of winter, and Wang Ji's clothes were wet, but fortunately, he had deep internal strength, and he didn't feel anything. It's just that there is nothing else on the boat except a pair of wooden pulp, and there is no shelter, and in the pouring rain, a thick layer of rain accumulates in a short time. At this time, the wooden oars had already been put away and not rowed, Wang Ji took off his shoes, and scooped up the rainwater in the cabin and poured it into the sea.

The heavy rain fell for a while, and gradually stopped, but the dense fog became heavier and heavier, and with a sound of brushing in the ground, a big fish of about 30 catties jumped up from the sea. Wang Ji stretched out his right hand, inserted five fingers into the belly of the fish, and caught the fish into the boat.

Wang Ji used a broken sword to cut the belly of the big fish and scrape the scales, and cut it into pieces. He was really hungry, although the smell of raw fish was very strong, but Wang Wei ate with relish, when he was training as a killer, he had carried out survival training in the wild, what had he not eaten at that time, how could he care about raw fish? What's more, the raw fish meat only needs to be chewed for a while, and after getting used to the fishy smell, it has a fresh and sweet taste.

The waves on the sea gradually calmed down, Wang Wei closed his eyes after eating the fish to recuperate, yesterday's day and night of fierce fighting, the sea gently shook the boat, like a cradle, and it will make him fall asleep in a while.

This one had a good night's sleep, and it lasted more than three hours. By this time, the sun was shining and the fog had dissipated. The purpose of Wang Ji's trip has been achieved, and he plans to return to Middle-earth. He looked at the sun to determine the direction, took out the oars, and rowed northwest. It is not easy to operate a boat on the sea, and it is not easy to break the waves, but fortunately, Wang Ji has deep internal strength, and he can only practice martial arts.

For several days, a lonely boat kept rowing to the northwest.

In the past few days, Wang Wei caught fresh fish in the sea every day for food, and when he was tired of rowing, he took out the essence of "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragon" as a drill.

After a few days of hard work, Wang Wei had already practiced the remaining three palms of the "Eighteen Palms of Descending Dragon". After practicing all the eighteen palms, Wang Wei only felt that the essence of the "eighteen palms of the dragon" was all in the strength of the force, and the change of the palm method was very simple, which was deeply in line with the way of "one force to ten meetings".

Although the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" is the best kung fu in the world, with Wang Ji's martial arts foundation, it only took less than a day to practice.

In the remaining days, Wang Wei continued to be proficient in the "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending", and at the same time took out the "Wu Mu Testament" to watch.

After reading it carefully, Wang Ji found that the "Wu Mu Testament" was not so much a military book, but a history of Yue Wumu's life. Different from ordinary military letters, the "Wu Mu Testament" does not write much about some theoretical and conceptual things, and what is written on it is actually the actual battle examples of Yue Wumu and Jin Bing's battles in those years.

Although Wang Wei was not very interested in the art of war, the battle examples in the "Wu Mu's Testament" were described in great detail, and he looked at these war examples as small stories of historical wars, but he also read them with relish.

A few more days passed, and at noon on this day, land suddenly appeared in the west. Wang Ji has been sailing for a long time, and when he saw his return, he couldn't help but expand his mind. In the evening, when the boat finally came to shore, he flew ashore and walked all the way, only to see green forests on all sides, and the snow was beginning to melt, and it was extremely muddy. After walking for a while, the trees became more shady, and the towering ancient pines were all hugged by several people. He flew up to a tall tree, but saw that the trees were boundless, and there was no one but the forest.

At this time, it was getting late, and Wang Ji didn't know the specific location here, so it was very inconvenient to travel in the wild. So he went back to the shore, intending to make do with a night's rest and wait until dawn before moving out.

He dragged the boat ashore, and a half-broken dragon slayer smashed the boat into firewood, lit a bonfire, and slept on the shore in a disorderly manner, and the next morning he walked through the forest to the south. On the second day, I met seven or eight guests who picked ginseng, and after asking, it turned out that this place was actually Liaodong outside the Guan, and it was not far from Changbai Mountain.

Asked from the mouth of the visitor about the path out of the woods, Wang Ji walked briskly and walked for two days before leaving the forest. On another day, he saw a farmer's house, and Wang Ji's clothes had already been tattered due to many days of sailing, so he took out silver taels and bought clothes from the peasants. But the peasant family was extremely poor, and there were no extra clothes to sell, so they went to three or four families in succession to gather a set of filthy clothes.

Wang Ji has not taken a bath because he has been sailing for many days, and his body is already a little dirty, plus this clothes, he is a beggar in Liaodong.

Wang Ji continued all the way south, entered the Great Wall, and came to a large town on this day. He walked to a large restaurant in the town, took out a silver ingot weighing three taels, handed it over to the counter, and said, "After we have used the wine and rice, we will settle the settlement." He was afraid that he would be in rags, and he refused to serve wine and food in the restaurant.

How do you know that the shopkeeper stood up respectfully, returned the silver taels with both hands, and said, "What is the point of patronizing the small shop, just drinking and coarse rice?" It is made up of a small shop. ”

When Wang Jian heard the shopkeeper's tone, he was quite afraid, and he was very surprised in his heart. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and seven people walked up, saying that it was a coincidence that they were all dressed as beggars. The seven men sat down against the window. I saw that the shopkeeper stepped forward respectfully to greet him, and he said that he was a dignitary.

Wang Jian saw that some of these beggars were carrying five cloth bags, and some were carrying six, all of whom were high-ranking disciples of the beggar gang. The shopkeeper ordered the wine and food to go down, but before it could be delivered, six or seven beggars came up to help the disciples. In a moment, there were more than 30 beggars in the restaurant, and three of them were Qibao disciples. Wang Wei suddenly realized that the beggar gang was gathering here today, and the restaurant shopkeeper misunderstood that he was also a member of the beggar gang.

At this time, the shopkeeper sent a large plate of beef, a roast chicken, and five catties of liquor. Wang Ji was hungry in his stomach, and he had never had a good meal for many days, and when he smelled the fragrance of roast chicken, his index finger moved. At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, and ate quietly.
