Chapter Seventy-Four: Fishing Boats and Flat Boats
After midnight, a thick layer of mist rose on Yanque Lake, and the two fishing boats under Lu Min's charter loomed in the smoke.
The night wind on the lake was blowing tightly, and the relatively narrow and thin fishing boats were pulled and swayed by the seemingly undisturbed surge on the lake.
The sound of a boat crossing the water sounds very pleasant, and the water vapor that permeates the nasal cavity is refreshing.
Xu Wei stood on the bow of the boat and silently stared at the distance that could not be seen clearly, and on the water where the fishing boat passed, from time to time there were big fish jumping out of the water and burrowing into the undercurrent with a "coo".
However, at this time, these jubilant fish leaping scenery did not arouse Xu Wei's interest, and he himself knew that this fishing boat that had been on the water for so long to find Gao Zhen's traces was undoubtedly a gamble, although the clues he found provided a lot of chips for this big gamble, but before the color cup was opened, everything was not a certainty.
Xu Wei looked back at the dozen or so people on the boat, most of them were closing their eyes and recuperating, some were eating in small bites, and two of them were helping each other change their dressings.
Thinking about it, in fact, for these people on the boat, whether Gao Zhen is in the mysterious water dart game in Yanque Lake, what awaits them next is not a good thing, maybe if Gao Zhen didn't take someone to the lake dart game, most of the people on the boat can live for a while longer.
Perhaps because of the gradual deviation from the central part of Yanque Lake, the two small fishing boats can finally see each other clearly after passing through layers of mist, Xu Wei This boat is mainly Lu Min, Yuwen Chenglong and a group of Golden Snake Guards, while the other boat is mainly led by the three marshals of Zhenshan Hidden Mountain Guard.
After midnight, the time made people feel fast and slow, and Xu Wei, who was leaning on the side of the boat, felt that he had just sat down and took a nap, and he had already been awakened by the steps of Lu Min, who was slowly approaching.
In fact, what Xu Wei didn't know was that when he opened his eyes, half an hour had passed, and Sima Yuji, who was not far away, was already standing on the bow of the boat with the eight-edged bamboo iron whip "Mo Pixiu", and Sima Yujia in the night looked more and more majestic and burly.
In the past, Xu Wei was like Sima Yuji, even if he didn't sleep all night, he could still be full of energy, but today he had bled too much, and the dry food he ate on the road just now and the salty and fresh meals he ate on the boat didn't seem to help Xu Wei make up for too much of the vitality that had flowed away.
But at this moment, the water dart game that the old fisherman said has slowly appeared in front of Xu Wei's eyes, in fact, the two sons of the old fisherman who sent Xu Wei and others have not seen this legendary "water dart game", because as the old fisherman said, there are many reefs and water holes here, even large boats will be very difficult, not to mention these two small fishing boats that are not even medium-sized boats.
And the old fisherman himself just got close to this "water dart game" that is occasionally rumored among fishermen on a drunken night, with the impulse to finish drinking.
So that night, the drunken eyes were far away from the old fisherman, and he didn't see it clearly at all, but he thought that the water dart game was standing on a small island behind the smoke and waves.
This time, I realized that there was no island, and this water dart game was actually made up of six large boats.
Slowly approaching the six large boats, I could vaguely see more than a dozen small wooden boats about the size of the canopy boat scattered around and slowly moving with the waves, and the people on the boats were holding torches and swaying around from time to time, looking like they were on guard or patrol.
Sure enough, as soon as the two fishing boats got closer, they heard three or five whistles coming from a nearby boat, and soon the six-leaf boat approached the two fishing boats.
The starlight and moonlight falling on the water were shining with scales and white glow, slowly approaching the six-leaf boat and the fire was swaying.
On this boat, the son of a drunken old man trembled and asked his father: "Daddy, you can't make a mistake, this doesn't look like a dart game, but like a water bandit." ”
"Nonsense, I've heard others say that the secret dart game that has been rumored recently is here, so it won't be that the dart game is standing next to the water bandit village." The old man seemed to have seen some wind and rain, and he didn't panic and said, "What about the water bandits, firstly, our old men don't have anything valuable to lose, and secondly, hum, do these masters on our ship look like they are easy to mess with?" ”
The son of the drunken old man was even more nervous when he heard this, and whispered: "Then you still dare to take them, I won't say it's right, how can anyone bring thirty people to find the dart master, it's almost the same to find fault." ”
"Rich and dangerous, my son, our two broken fishing boats can't do the business of carrying passengers on weekdays, this time I am according to the price of the big boat carrying passengers, the guest over there is willing to give it exponentially, so much money, we can't earn it back for three years without eating or drinking fishing, you don't care who they are, it's a big deal to run away when the situation is not good, anyway, the one-year deposit has been collected." Although the old man was drunk, his heart was sober.
The six-leaf boat approached the fishing boat, and on the first boat, a man with a flat nose holding a torch knocked the fishing boat a few times with a bamboo pole, and asked, "What are you doing!" Don't let go here! Get out of here! ”
Sima Yujian asked everyone on the boat to bend down so as not to be discovered, after all, it was difficult for so many people not to be suspicious.
The drunken old man came to the bow of the fishing boat and said respectfully to the man with a sinknose on the boat: "This lord, this is the legendary water dart board, and a few of my friends have come here, it seems that they want to find your dart board to escort some goods." ”
"Escorting goods?" The man with a flat nose raised his hand and said, "We don't accept customers in the past two days, let's go back and come back later." ”
"We really have something very important to ask the dart master to escort, Boss Gao can be on the boat, let's talk to him directly." Xu Wei said tentatively.
The man with a slumped nose didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, but just said fiercely: "Boss Gao doesn't have time to pay attention to you now!" Roll or not? If you don't get out, I'm going to smash you two broken ships and sink them. ”
Hearing the words of the man with a sink-nose, Xu Wei and Lu Min looked at each other and smiled, although they were frightened all the way, it was obvious that this place was the right place.
As if he hadn't heard the words of the flat-nosed man, Lu Min turned back to the drunk old man and his son and said, "Just hit it." ”
"What?" The son of a drunken old man couldn't believe his ears.
"I said to speed up with all my might, leave these small boats alone, just park the boat under those big ships, it doesn't matter if you can't stop, just give me all the way to the rampage until I crash into the big boat." Lu Min pointed to the big boat road not far away.
As Lu Min spoke, Xu Wei's body turned, like a black bird descending from the sky, and fell straight onto the leaf boat where the man with a collapsed nose was.
The moment Xu Wei approached the flat boat, he took the initiative to press down hard, shaking the flat boat so hard that it sank heavily while raising its height, and the two who did not stand firm fell directly into the cold lake.
The man with a collapsed nose was still intimidating the people on the fishing boat just now, he didn't expect Xu Wei to attack so quickly, just now he stood firm, and it was too late to draw his knife, he hit Xu Wei with the torch in his hand.
Xu Wei did not retreat in the face of the firelight, his left hand caught the handle of the torch, and his right hand slashed at the throat of the man with a flat nose, and snatched the torch in one fell swoop, and then turned around and swung the torch on the arm of the other person who drew the knife, and the latter let go of the knife and threw the knife, and was kicked into the water by Xu Wei.
The man with a flat nose was angry, and before he could catch his breath, he was about to pull out his knife and cut Xu Wei, but his breath was intermittent, and his heart was nervous, and he couldn't exert his strength for a while, and he didn't pull out the knife twice.
Seeing that Xu Wei was about to come with a torch, the man with a flat nose hurriedly took two steps back to protect his head with his hands.
However, Xu Wei did not use the torch in his hand to knock the man with the nose, but threw it at another person on the nearby boat, who was confidently bending his bow and arrows to shoot Xu Wei off the boat, but was hit by Xu Wei's sudden torch, and the arrow released happened to hit the vital point of another unlucky man.
Xu Wei pushed the man off the boat, picked up the two iron anchors on the boat and smashed them at the nearby boat, these two anchors should have been used by these guards to smash the fishing boats that Xu was an uninvited guest, but at this time they were used on their own people.
Not long after, approaching the flat boat that was hit by the anchor, the four of them jumped into the cold lake water one after another.
Seeing that there were brothers in the other boats who had fallen into the water, they whistled to spread the news and call for other boats around to come to the rescue, while hurriedly rocking the oars to rescue the dart master who fell into the water.
But at this time, the fishing boat, which was still taller than the flat boat, had already begun to speed up under the command of the drunken old man, and approached the six-boat boat, and there were a few dart masters on the flat boat nearby, who wanted to throw the anchor or make a sharp hammer or pierce the fishing boat through the gun.
But Xu Wei, who jumped back into the fishing boat, stood at the bow of the boat, and the long bamboo pole he grabbed in his hand was waved full of afterimages, beating the dart master on the nearby boat with his head in all directions, holding his head to dodge, and finally none of the anchors really hit the fishing boat.
On another fishing boat, the old handsome Zhu Dayong stood on the bow of the boat, pulled up the big-horned bow he had been carrying, and shot an arrow at several dart masters on the flat boat that was firmly following around him.
Although Zhu Da also pierced a few arrows with his broken armor, he still had no arrows in danger, and five arrows shot down a full seven people, and two more were pulled into the water together by the person who was hit by the arrow in a panic.
On the fishing boat on the side of the three marshals of Zhenshan, Zhishuai Wen Qianyu commanded the hidden mountain guard to smash all the available things on the boat towards the flat boats gathered around, wooden boxes, buckets, tables and chairs, cups and plates, hemp rope and other things smashed the small flat boats of Ye Ye into crooked places, and they could no longer chase after them.
And the fishing boat where Zhenshan Sanshuai was located lost a lot of weight, and its speed even exceeded that of Xu Wei and others.
Zhu Dayong stepped on the bow of the boat with a bow, his short hair was white and shiny under the moon, his white beard fluttered in the wind, and his mouth was full of joy.
The small boats around are still gathering fish, and Xu Wei is looking for the usable things on the fishing boat for the golden snake guard on this boat, and he also throws it and smashes it like the Yinshan guard.
It happened that the gold water on their fishing boat had not yet been poured, and a hidden mountain guard scooped the gold water and threw it at the flat boats that were chasing around them, and for a while the stench was stinking, and there were continuous curses and gagging sounds from the surrounding flat boats.
Xu Wei handed over the bamboo pole to Sima Yujiao, who was more powerful, took a large fishing net by himself, threw and pulled it, and used the fishing net to cover the few flat boats that were chasing on the other side, and then took advantage of the momentum of the fishing boat moving at full speed, so that several people next to him pulled it together, and in an instant, the few flat boats were pulled left and right and even fell back and forth.
