Chapter 20: A dilemma of life and death
Dai Ran glanced at Ke Yinzhi, remembered the things and points explained by the coach before he left, and nodded.
"Go in the middle. Kiko, let her follow you."
Xiao Xizi is not very old, and with a round baby face, the whole person looks even smaller. The more this is the case, he also learned to be cool as his captain, looked back and nodded, left his teammates, and came to Ke Yinzhi's right hand.
More than a dozen people followed the ladder to the top of the wall of the ancestral house of Fumen.
Four or five people followed Dai Ran to check the situation, and the rest hid their bodies under the parapet of the wall. Seeing this situation, Ke Yinzhi also sat down next to Xiao Xizi. Kiko's face turned red, and a few chuckling voices came from the side.
"That...... You don't have to sit so close, I'll be on your right hand when the task comes later." The first time a girl leaned on her at close range, Xiao Xizi stammered a little when she spoke.
"We're just going to sit here and wait?" Ke Yinzhi looked at him as if he was looking at his younger brother. If his brother hadn't died at the hands of the Dutch, he would have been able to sit by his side like this by now.
"The team is using clairvoyance to check the scene, and they will come back to mark the task in a while, so we just have to sit here and wait." Kiko explained patiently to her.
"Why did you come out to be a soldier at such a young age? Is it because you can't live at home?" Ke Yinzhi is already the second generation who came out to live in Nanyang, she was born in Sumatra, and she also grew up in Sumatra, and she has never returned to the land of the Ming Dynasty. There are also shopkeepers who come back to tell her about the situation over there, but more impressions come from the stories of the older generation. Anyway, Daming is not a good place, and the poor can't survive.
But in fact, Ke Yinzhi doesn't care about these things now. Looking at Xiao Xizi now, it is more like looking at his own little brother, and he still feels that his sixteen-year-old brother should be older than Xiao Xizi.
"Why, I'm sixteen years old. When I was fourteen years old, our college recruited people in our township, so they summoned me to stay overnight. That's it, we have fifteen acres of land."
"You're sixteen, and you still can't tell."
Ke Yinzhi is really comparing himself to his younger brother there. But when these words were heard in Xiao Xizi's ears, they became a different meaning. He snorted and twisted his head. It's just that others say that about themselves, why does she say the same about herself as a girl.
Ke Yinzhi was still staring at him, and his little brother was like this when he was angry.
Grandma said that her daughter and son were rebellious. In addition to the fact that both of them are equally beautiful, his younger brother Sven and quiet are more like a little girl in the eyes of his mother. And he was born to be good at boxing and martial arts, running east and west, more like a little boy. When her brother was still there, she loved to make him angry the most.
She will never forget the day her brother was killed by the Dutch.
Uncle Wu in the third room carries luggage on the Dutchman's dock. Obviously, the box on the BMX was knocked over by a few drunken Dutch sailors, but I didn't expect the Dutch to turn their faces and deny people, saying that Uncle Wu accidentally overturned it.
The box fell on the stone road of the dock, and countless gold coins in it rolled down everywhere, and Uncle Wu hurriedly picked it up.
Eventually, all the coins were recovered.
But the Dutch didn't count the number of people, and they didn't look at it, so they insisted that there were a hundred less. Uncle Wu was just about to speak, when the whip fell. My younger brother, who was originally passing by, couldn't stand it. He grabbed the other man's whip and smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Said with disgust:
"How many gold coins are in your chest, you tell me first, let's count them. If it's really missing, I'll make it up for you today."
His younger brother witnessed all this, and none of the surrounding Han people picked up these gold coins, but helped Uncle Wu put the gold coins back in the box, how could it be less.
"I don't know how many gold coins I have in my box...... The other party was obviously already drinking high, and his words were full of huhuhu. He tugged at the whip with his hand, but no
Drag it back.
"You don't know how many gold coins there are?" At this time, his younger brother still felt that he had grasped the Dutchman. At this time, he also spoke loudly to the Han Chinese, foreigners and mercenaries who were watching around him.
"Since you don't even know how many gold coins are in your chest, how do you know that there are a hundred missing? Young and old, am I right?"
My brother was still too young at the time. Ke Yinzhi now understands that you can't reason with an uncontrolled animal unless you have put a knife under their neck. It's a pity that my little brother didn't understand this truth at all at that time. In his eyes, reason can go all over the world.
He didn't see the annoyance, anger, and anger in the other's eyes.
"Yes! That's right!"
The surroundings were all lively, and at this time, it was not a big deal, so he shouted directly at the Dutch.
"So, that's all right?"
Thinking that he had handled the matter perfectly, his naïve brother let go of the whip he was holding tightly in his hand and prepared to go home. However, what he did not see was the face of the Dutch on the other side, which turned from red to white, from white to iron.
The drunken Dutch had gone from being angry to being angry with their own incompetence.
He directly pulled out a long sword that he was paired with, and with one sword, he directly stabbed into the chest of Ke Yinzhi's younger brother, who had already turned away. The pain was so sharp that he turned around and stared at the Dutchman.
But what about it?
The surrounding area was full of Han people, and there were at least a thousand Han people on the dock at that time, including Uncle Wu, who had just broken the siege. None of them stepped forward to help him, just looked at him indifferently, and even looked at him a little detached.
A sword in the front, pushed away by his own brother.
Another sword, but it stabbed straight into his brother's heart. By the time she and her father arrived at the docks, all they could see was a corpse and blood all they could see.
The funny thing is that the Han people who are all over the dock are still working, and the drunken Dutchman is still sitting on the box and has not left.
His father dragged him into the Dutchman's mansion.
Since then, it has never come out.
Just as she was still reminiscing, Dai Ran came back and interrupted her train of thought.
"The opponent is very well defended, and they are not ready to attack now, they just want to blow up the wall and then rush inside."
"Ah Liang, you have a lot of ideas." Dai Ran roll call.
"There's no time, it's too late to do anything now. Collect half of the grenades for me." Ah Liang is a big man, but he is the most intelligent one in the whole team.
"Wear your head, and in a moment you will rush in this direction." He picked up a piece and turned his head to draw it on the ground.
"If I'm not mistaken, their head should be in this place. It's dark now, and it's good for us. You plunge into the woods beside you. Stick it directly up, and the tighter the sticker, the better. Entangled with them, everyone gave up their muskets. Our crossbows and grenades will come in handy."
"I'm hiding here alone. As soon as you make your move, I'll rush up and blow up the cannon. If you can, as soon as the grenade goes off here, you can retreat directly into the rainforest."
After speaking, he glanced at Dai Ran again, and angrily pouted at Ke Yinzhi.
Dai Ran understood what he meant.
"Little Xizi, you take Miss Ke to beckon your people up to the wall, and when we leave here, you make a little noise to attract their attention." Dai Ran gave the order directly.
"Team, I see." After speaking, Xiao Xizi looked at Ke Yinzhi.
Ke Yinzhi didn't move, just took off a silver bracelet from his hand and said to Xiao Xizi.
"Go back to Lao Wu and he'll listen to you. This bracelet is a wedding gift from your sister, and you stay with you."
"Captain?" Xiao Xizi looked at Ke Yinzhi at a loss, but Ke Yinzhi stuffed the bracelet into his hand.
"How old a man, whatever
Everything is called the captain, don't go quickly." Xiao Xizi didn't move, and Dai Ran knew that Ke Yinzhi himself couldn't persuade him to go back. He nodded at Kiko.
Xiao Xizi performed the task independently for the first time, and without saying a word, she stood up and was about to leave.
"Sister Scream?" Ke Yinzhi pretended to tease him. looked at Xiao Xizi, who was blushing, and laughed again.
"Give."
Dai Ran turned and took off his uniform, handing her his cowhide soft armor, two grenades, and a small short crossbow.
"If you don't want to, go back by yourself."
