When the sky cleared, as soon as it was dark, he ran to the dock, and there were many people like him.

The street was also bustling earlier than usual, but Haizhu went late, and Grandma Qi went to the field early in the morning to cut leeks, and now chose to wash them, and when the filling was mixed, the sun had already appeared.

Haizhu pushed the wooden cart and took Dongzhu and Fengping to set up a stall, and just after unloading the things, the man selling duck eggs opposite said, "You came late today, but many people came to look for you." When he saw a familiar woman coming, he stood up and waved, "Sister-in-law, the bread seller is here." ”

The women in the crowd were overjoyed and strode towards Haizhu. She was followed by a man carrying a burden, and the baskets on either side of the flat pole were full of pork, and he was carrying four live chickens in his hands.

"Buying so much pork, there is a happy event at home?" The grandmother who sold tofu accosted, "Can you buy tofu?" To buy tofu or not to buy tofu? Buy a board and I'll give you an extra one. ”

The man's eyes swirled around the tofu stall, and then he shook his head, staring at the mother-in-law who sold tofu and the child beside her.

"You're Admiral Han's daughter, aren't you?" The woman who wanted to buy the bread took advantage of the man's look away, and she lowered her voice and said, "I am from Houwan Village, and there is a funeral in the village, which is strangely urgent." ”

Haizhu raised her eyes and saw that the woman's face was flustered and eager, she frowned and asked, "How many cakes do you want?" ”

"Yes, I'm from Houwan Village, and I heard from the people in the village that the cakes you sell are delicious, and there are funerals in the village." Seeing the people behind her, the woman forced a smile and hurriedly changed her words: "Brand me two." ”

Haizhu looked at the big man who was following the woman and said, "Why don't you buy two for your man?" ”

The woman didn't dare to look up, "That... Then buy two more. ”

Haizhu stopped talking, and handed over four cakes, "Bawen money, give Qiwen a good time, and introduce more guests to me in the future." ”

The big man didn't answer, left down the eight copper plates and led the people away.

When the people walked away, Haizhu asked Dongzhu to take over the stall, "I'm having a stomach, I'll go back first." ”

Dongzhu didn't notice anything, and happily took over the stall, so that her sister could rest at home and not use it.

Haizhu walked out of the street and ran instead, and ran to Shen's house to find Shen Sui, he was eating at this time, and when he saw her in a hurry, he asked what was wrong.

"Houjiawan may have gone to the bandits, in this case, you should go to the barracks first......

Chapter 70: Great Hero

"Are you sure?" Shen Sui walked on the road and asked.

"I'm really not sure that I'm going to have to go, even if it's not a bandit, something happened in the village."

The grandmother who sold tofu asked the man if there was a happy event in the family, and the man acquiesced, but the woman said that there was a funeral in the village, which was a big problem. In addition, the woman looked flustered, repeatedly pointed out where the village was, and was very afraid of the man behind her, Haizhu deliberately asked if it was her man, she acquiesced, but she didn't dare to look at it, and looked back twice when she left.

Shen then stopped a boat at the pier and asked the fisherman to take him to the barracks. Haizhu ran to the boat, entered the cabin to change clothes, combed her hair again, got off the boat and boarded the fishing boat to prepare to go to Houwan Village first.

"Haizhu?" Yu Laishun shouted, "It's you, I thought I recognized the wrong person, where are you going?" Panicked. ”

Haizhu saw that he was carrying a shipload of goods, and had an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly beckoned him to dock, "Uncle Yu, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, borrow your boat and goods for use, if something goes wrong, the government will compensate you."

Yu Laishun is also a transparent person, as soon as he heard the word "government", he understood that what Haizhu wanted to do was not a private matter, he propped the boat over and let Haizhu board the boat, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to join you?" ”

"Have you been to Houwan Village? Is there a sea in the village? ”

"Through the sea, the village dug a river to lead to the village, only allowing one boat to pass, and the water level is not deep at low tide."

There is a water and sea pearl in her heart, she asked Yu Laishun to get off the boat, "I'll go alone, you just wait at the pier, don't tell my mother about me." ”

Yu Laishun stepped on the water on the reef beach, and just wanted to tell her to be careful, she saw that the sails had been raised, and the people on the boat were still rocking and speeding up.

He was about to leave, but was stopped by Haizhu again, Haizhu turned the bow of the boat and came back, "I forgot, I don't know the way, you come to show me the way." ”

The two went by boat, Haizhu saw that his face was gloomy, and gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, when you get off the river, you get off the boat, you go far away and hide, and I will go in alone." ”

Yu Laishun sighed, "If something happens to you, your mother will blame me to death." "He regrets dying now, he shouldn't have shouted that.

"There won't be an accident, there is a garrison behind to answer you, don't come out if anything happens." Haizhu saw a few boats in front of her, she walked to the bow of the boat and squinted carefully, the boat was far away, and the people on the boat in front couldn't see clearly, but the little white in the stern basket looked like pork.

In order to catch them, the government issued a rule that if you buy more than 40 catties of pork and more than 2 stone of rice and grain, you must show your household registration. However, the effect of this regulation is limited, and the bandits who do not have household registration can go to the village to hijack fishermen to come to the wharf to buy them on their behalf, and the guards at the wharf check the fishermen loosely, and as long as the registered fishing boats come over during the day, they will be released at a glance.

Haizhu remembered the funeral that the woman repeatedly emphasized, and sighed in her heart, the guards stationed in the village should be dead.

She flipped the sails and slowed her pace, waiting for the fishing boat in front of her to turn into a small black dot before following it.

……

"The estuary in front is it, and there are not many people in Houwan Village, so all the men should go out to sea to fish at this time." Yu Laishun said.

Haizhu propped the oar to the shore and let Yu Lai go down, she glanced at him, reached out of the side of the boat and picked a handful of algae at the bottom of the boat, rubbed it open and wiped it on her face. The algae spread across her face, and when the wind blew, she wiped off the excess green algae with her sleeve and swayed into the river.

Yu Laishun looked at her twice, looked around and walked quickly into the distance.

Houwan Village is not close to the sea, Haizhu put away the sails and rowed to the village, entered the village, there were no children playing on both sides of the river, and there were no people in the courtyard with the open door.

The whole village seemed to be dead, and it became a deserted village.

"Selling dried bamboo shoots - dried bamboo shoots cost two pennies a pound."

"Sister-in-law, I delivered the dried bamboo shoots you ordered with me last month." Haizhu shouted loudly.

A bearded man came out of a courtyard, and when he saw that it was a girl selling goods, he closed the knife in his sleeve and said, "If you don't buy anything, you get out of here." ”

"Who are you? It's not from the village, is it? Why haven't I seen you? Haizhu rolled her eyes, "If you don't buy it, someone else will buy it, my ship's goods are all ordered by people in the village, and the deposit has been paid." ”

"What's in it?" Another man came out of the other family, glanced at the boat, and said, "Third child, buy everything." ”

Haizhu estimated the time, the garrison on the island might not come so quickly, and she had the courage to continue to delay time.

The man called "the third child" had no patience to take care of trivial matters, so he called a woman from the house to come out and move the goods, "You don't need to weigh it, everything is unloaded, five taels of silver." ”

Haizhu picked up the silver and stuffed it into her sleeve, helping the woman carry the things on the boat, and when she got closer, her sleeve was torn off, and then she heard the word "report to the official" as thin as a mosquito and fly.

"What to do? Slowly. The man scolded.

The woman shook and did not dare to move again.

The last basket of dried dates was unloaded, and Haizhu returned to the boat, she quietly raised the sails, looked at the bearded man, and said, "You are not ......"

"The third child, kill her." A rough voice sounded from behind the wall, "Lao Tzu just slept for a while, you fucking shit...... "There was no one in the village, and it was a pig who noticed that something was wrong."

Haizhu hurriedly shook the oars and provoked the people on the shore: "You are bandits, I will go to report to the official." ”

There was no wind on the river, and the rocking boat could not compare to the people who were trying to catch up, Haizhu watched the people catch up, she jumped into the river and swam to the bottom of the river, followed by the sound of breaking water, and she continued to swim without looking back.

The two people chasing on the shore stopped, and when they got to the water, even the old fishermen couldn't compare to the bandits.

However, there was already a fight underwater, and Hae-joo turned around and dragged him while the bearded man was about to surface for air, and the other party stared at the circle of light on her head like a ghost. Haizhu grinned at him, and the fool opened his mouth too, choking on his mouth and nose at the same time with a mouthful of muddy water, and she took advantage of this gap to pick up a stone and hit him on the head.

Under the water, the dying man is powerful enough to drag a pig, not to mention that Haizhu's strength is not as strong as him, so he can only rely on being able to breathe underwater to drag him to death. She dragged him by the legs and swam at the bottom of the river, trying her best not to get him to his feet or to the surface.

"Third child, what's going on?" The man on the riverbank asked, "Why the hell did you go to such great lengths to kill someone?" ”

Haizhu glanced at the water, and then looked at the man who was gulping and drinking so much that her eyes were about to stare out of her sockets, she threw away her hand and swam forward.

The person who sensed that something was wrong jumped into the water, and the next moment surfaced on the river, climbed ashore to stare at the unwavering water, and ran back to the village and shouted: "Boss, let that girl run, and the third child drowned in the river." We have to hurry up and let that girl report to the official, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. ”

"Waste, put all the food in the village on the boat, and we'll go."

"To kill or not to kill?"

"Don't kill us, don't kill us, you can come to our village next time." The woman holding her children knelt down and kowtowed, "The people of the government will definitely not think that you will come again, you can take anything you want." ”

"Move the grain first." The "boss" spoke, what this woman said was reasonable, they only wanted money, not slaughtered people's lives, and slaughtered the village for fear of being targeted by the government.

At this time, the official ship carrying the soldiers had already come, and Shen Sui asked the helmsman to lower the sails and leave the coast to disguise himself as a merchant ship according to Haizhu's instructions. He waited anxiously on the boat, and saw someone beckoning on the river bank from a distance, and in an instant he hid behind the reef.

After about a pillar of incense, a line of boats sailed out of the river, and the people on board saw the building boat on the sea, and decided to go around.

Then the sea began to chase each other.

On the river, the people of the village rowed the boat left by Haizhu and were about to report to the official, when they saw that a boat had escaped, he hurriedly went into the water and buckled the boat upside down and blocked the river.

Haizhu went to help him, so that the bandits would not escape into the village and kill people.

The building boat overturned the fishing boat, the grain, dried vegetables, pork, live chickens and ducks were all floating in the sea, and people were also struggling in it, the soldiers went into the sea with knives to kill people, and the soldiers and bandits chased me in the sea, and beat you to the death.

Haizhu stood on the reef beach and watched, this way of fighting made her anxious, two thief ships ran in two directions, she was so anxious that she shouted: "Go and chase!" A thief has escaped! ”

The two fishing boats were pushed down from the ship, and a few more men came down from the boat, after which the helmsman hoisted the sails and chased after one of the pirate ships.

The speed of the fishing boat was nowhere near that of the Lou boat, which knocked over a thief boat and pushed the fishing boat away, before turning the corner to chase another one.

The sea is so vast that those who fall into the sea are too tired to swim to the shore.

Haizhu saw that the battle was decided, and she went back to the village with someone to see the situation.

"Two of the guards stationed in the village are dead." Said the sick and weak man.

"I guessed, what about the rest of the village? This gang of bandits came here this morning? Haizhu asked.

"Well, as soon as the fishermen left the village, they came over and looted the people in the village, they wanted rice, flour, grain, oil, salted fish and salted meat, and they looted the money and pressed the village chief's daughter-in-law to go to the dock to buy meat and grain."

Some of the people in the village were injured, but fortunately there were no deaths. The village chief organized people to take people to the dock to see the doctor, and he also had to go to the government to explain the situation, and the two guards who lost their lives were also sent over.

The village chief's daughter-in-law saw Haizhu recognize the person, and cried and laughed when she saw her, "Fortunately, you are here, thanks to your cleverness, the righteous daughter recognized by Admiral Han is really not bad." ”

She heard her man mention that Admiral Han had taken in a righteous girl, and when she got to the street, she moved her mind, and she didn't dare to anger the thief, so she could only say vague words, and the preface did not match the afterword, hoping that Haizhu would be alert and react.

Haizhu also assumed the identity of Admiral Han's daughter, she stayed in the village to appease people's hearts, comfort everyone, and praised the village chief's daughter-in-law Han for her courage and resourcefulness, and her courage to expose the traces of thieves.

"General Han Shao patrols the sea every month to deter thieves, and now that the thieves are caught, they must be beheaded to show the public, and you should have the credit for daring to resist if you can catch them. With one mind, our army and people will certainly be able to fight the bandits and make them dare not go ashore to cause chaos. Haizhu encouraged her to talk to Han Ji about her actions, set an example in the fishing village, and encourage fishermen to have the courage to expose the thief's thoughts.

"The Major General comes to patrol the village every month, and we also know that the government is protecting us, so I dare to go to you." Han was scared and excited, she believed in the young general who came to patrol every month, and believed in his soldiers, so that she had the idea of reporting the news and catching the thief.

When Shen Sui arrived, he praised the village chief a few more words, and when he left with Haizhu, he said: "This measure of sending troops to the village and sending ships to patrol the sea has achieved results, and this is the first time that the bandits dared to report when they went ashore to buy grain and meat." ”

"What was it like before?" Haizhu asked.

"Fishermen and bandits go to each other privately, fishermen help bandits buy meat, vegetables and food, and bandits tempt fishermen to make trouble, kill people, set fire and rob, and then flee to the sea to become bandits." Shen Sui happily stroked his palm, and when he boarded the boat, he diligently supported Haizhu and said, "Great hero, the sixth brother invites you to go back and eat well, and when your righteous brother comes back, we will slaughter him again." ”

Chapter 71: Back to my hometown

"Haizhu, wait for me." Yu Laishun shouted, he had just flipped the fishing boat stuck in the river, the bow and stern were covered with mud, the mast was broken, and the sail was torn. He stood in the river where the tide was rising higher and higher, and half of his body was dragging mud and water.

"The ship is broken, I'll go back with you." He reminded implicitly.

Haizhu reacted, she was dizzy, and forgot about the borrowed fishing boat, "Sixth brother, I borrowed a boat to sell goods when I came over, and now the boat is wrecked......"

"Liu Wu, you remember to report this matter to the pavilion chief, and let the government make up for the loss of the boatman." Shen then assigned someone to do something, "Go down and a few people wash the boat and carry it up, and salvage the corpses at sea and the boats that can be salvaged."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
