Chapter Seventy-Eight: Coming in a hurry, going in a hurry

Outside the house, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the fire was wanton. Instantaneous cries of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the business of someone shouting for fire is raging. Xiao Hai picked up the sword, looked at the crowd of people outside the house, and said in his heart, how could the water thieves be so bold, and the official ship dared to rob it?

At this time, Xiao Hai heard the roaring sound of the stairs at the bow of the ship, Xiao Hai could hear that it was not the crew of the ship, and after a while, he heard someone outside shouting: "Stop them and don't let them come up!" "Fight with them!"

Xiao Hai pushed open the door and saw that in the open space on the third floor, a group of crew members, and the men in black were all together! There were still a few officers and soldiers on the ship who were there to resist the thieves, but there were many thieves, and the crew members were beaten and retreated, and they were about to arrive in front of Xiao Hai's guest room.

I heard an officer and soldier shouting at Xiao Hai: "The little doll is so lively, don't you hide quickly!"

As soon as his words fell, he saw that the water thief seemed to have locked on to the target, and in an instant he broke through the obstruction of the crew and officers and soldiers, and rushed to Xiaohai.

Xiao Hai saw that there were more than thirty more people coming, and instantly occupied the open space at the bow of the boat, and ran to the aisle of the room where Xiao Hai was.

Make the narrow aisles instantly crowded.

As soon as Xiao Hai saw the thief coming up, he didn't answer, and you leaned forward with the sole of your forefoot. In an instant, he ran to the first person, and when he got close, he raised his fist and punched him. The man reacted very quickly, and when he saw that his fist was about to arrive, he suddenly retreated desperately, and the aisle of the boat was too small, and it was too late to flash left and right. But he forgot that there were people behind the man in black, and he couldn't go back at all.

He finally paid the price for his sloppiness! Xiao Hai smashed a punch on the bridge of the nose of the man in black, and with a fist to the flesh and the sound of bones breaking, the man in black and several men in black behind him all fell to the ground. The bow of the ship was still fighting, and someone saw this scene in front of them. I have always been supporting.

The black man on the ground hurriedly got up and ran back, Xiao Hai was just about to pursue, when suddenly a cold light flashed in front of him, and the wind gusted, and he saw five or six flying tigers flying in front of him. Xiao Hai guessed that it was the tool they used to board the ship. Xiao Hai didn't panic, his fingers moved, the twin swords arrived in his hand, and he held the sword in one hand, letting the sword rotate in the palm of his hand!

The few people who let go of the tiger were obviously stunned, and Xiao Hai took this opportunity to jump into the open space on the bow of the boat, and raised his sword to stab at several black people. Those few were so frightened that they closed their eyes and finished speaking, and they explained here.

At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly flew from the river in the distance! Rushing towards Xiao Hai's throat, Xiao Hai was so frightened that he quickly turned over and dodged. The men in black jumped away as if they had been granted amnesty. A few black-clothed people next to him raised their knives and rushed towards Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai took the first step, and before they could fall, a sword slashed through the throats of the four people, and fell to the ground.

When the crew and officers and men saw this, their morale was instantly boosted, and they shouted Kill these water thieves! Don't let them escape! The men in black fled in all directions in an instant. Some jumped directly into the river, and some ran along the flying tiger to the boat under the boat.

Xiao Haixin said that he shouldn't be able to use himself here, and he was about to go back with his sword. At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly came from a distance and shot at Xiao Hai's back! Xiao Hai felt the cold wind behind him, and withdrew from his body, then turned around in an instant, and grabbed the arrow directly with one hand!

After grabbing it, Xiao Hai threw it out in an instant in the direction where the arrow came from in the distance! The arrow thrown out by Xiao Hai was like a sea of sand and stones, and disappeared into the endless night in the distance without any sound. The officers and soldiers behind him and the crew members have already begun to clean up the battlefield and are busy.

Xiao Hai stood by the boat and looked at the direction where the cold arrow came from. Xiao Hai took advantage of the night to see only a dozen small boats sailing away quickly, and nothing else. Xiao Hai just wanted to turn around, but suddenly the cold wind swished in front of him, and three arrows came towards him.

Xiao Hai held the sword in one hand, directly rotated in the air, and all three arrows landed, Xiao Hai just put down the sword, and suddenly an arrow came towards Xiao Hai's front door, and the timing was just right. Just the moment Xiao Hai dropped his sword, Xiao Hai's frightened head tilted hard. Arrows whistling past Xiaohai's ears!

One arrow flew over another and came to Xiao Hai again, Xiao Hai was full of anger, the arrow froze slightly, Xiao Hai took this opportunity to stroke the edge of the boat with one hand, and flipped out of the boat in the air.

The arrow slashed across Xiao Hai's ear again. But Xiaohai was in the air at this time, although one hand was still caressing the side of the boat, but his body was still upside down in the air. At this time, an arrow shot towards Xiao Hai's chest, Xiao Hai grabbed the side of the boat tightly with one hand, and then forced his waist to let his body return to the boat. The movements were synthesized together, and then looked at Xiao Hai's original position, and the two arrows crossed the night sky.

Xiao Hai was also frightened into a cold sweat at this time, if he had just dodged down in the air, he would definitely be hit by an arrow! Xiao Hai held a sword in one hand, jumped directly to the edge of the bow of the boat, and shouted at the night with a sword in one hand: "Senior!

The officers and men and the crew members in the back were so frightened that they all squatted on the ground, for fear that another arrow would come and hurt them.

At this time, a steward suddenly stood up and said, "Little hero, the thief should be returned... Before he could finish speaking, suddenly an arrow went to the head of the steward. Xiao Hai's left hand shook a golden needle, and when he reached his hand, he threw it out instantly, and there was a bang. Look at the arrow that was nailed to the wood next to it with a golden needle. The steward was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head and did not dare to show his head.

Xiao Hai still stood in front of him with his sword drawn, and it was dark in the night, but Xiao Hai could clearly feel that there was a small boat that had not yet left at least twenty zhang in front of him.

Xiao Hai stared at the boat in the distance without saying a word. The night was too dark for Xiao Hai to see the situation on the boat, but Xiao Hai was not afraid at all, holding a sword in one hand, and looking ahead with one hand behind his back.

After a stick of incense, the river was quiet and there was nothing unusual, and no arrows came at it. Xiao Hai couldn't feel the ship in front of him. Xiao Hai jumped down.

The steward and the officers and soldiers saw that Xiao Hai had come down, and their hearts were relaxed, but they still didn't dare to stand up, Xiao Hai smiled: "The thief has left, it's safe." ”

At this time, a few people dared to stand up.

Xiao Hai felt that the person who shot the arrow was definitely not an ordinary person, and the strength and timing were quite skillful, but why didn't this person get on the boat? Could it be that it was just to release the cold arrow in secret?

At this time, a person who looked like an officer and soldier came to Xiao Hai's side.

hugged his fists and said: "Thank you little hero for helping, I can't thank you enough!"

There was also a person in charge who said politely: "Yes, the little hero helped tonight to save our ship from loss, and this kindness cannot be repaid!"

Xiao Hai waved his hand and said, "Why do you care about raising your hands, this official, do you know who this water thief is?"

The officers and soldiers said: "Little hero, this gang of water thieves has been scourging the river for more than ten years, and the government has dispatched a large number of manpower to encircle and suppress it. In the past, they only robbed other cargo ships, and never robbed official ships, I don't know what kind of ambition leopard they have eaten today, and they dare to rob official ships. It's also that we are not well protected, but fortunately, the little hero helped, and the little official is really grateful!"

Xiao Hai asked again, "Isn't there still the Fushui Gang?

The officers and soldiers smiled and said: "When I see that the little hero is a foreigner, it is this Fushui Gang that suffers the most!"

Xiao Hai was stunned: "Isn't this Fushui Gang the leader of this area?"

The steward next to him said: "Master, don't you know, the Fushui Gang has helped a lot of boats walking on the river, but their boats are loaded with valuables. Although there are many of them and their skills are good, they can't stop the thief and keep thinking about it. The gang of thieves knew that the ships of the Fushui Gang were valuable, so they took the risk to rob them, and their boats would be robbed once or twice a year, but they were strong enough to accompany them, and their reputation was better. The number of times thieves succeed is very small. Other cargo ships weren't so lucky. ”

Xiao Hai nodded and said, "This may be the reason why the tree is big." We don't have any losses on board tonight, right?"

The steward said, "No, no, even a few people have been slightly injured, but they are not in the way, and we can continue sailing after we have packed up in a while." Strange to say, this gang of water thieves came up and ran for you. ”

Xiao Hai said: "What's strange, everyone who lives here is rich except for me, who can afford to live in ordinary people!"

The steward said with a smile: "Master, you can live here with peace of mind for the past two days, I will give you all the room fee or something, every day's food, I will let the guy send it to you, don't be polite to me, if it weren't for you, any one of the rooms in the A room would have been robbed and the loss would be greater than this." ”

Xiao Haixin said snickering, that's what I mean, I have also made a contribution, this compensation is still taken for granted, I only hate that the money given to Zhao Youtong was a little too much, otherwise I wouldn't let Lao Dingtou spend money on himself.

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "There is one more thing that I would like to ask you big brothers to help with." ”

The steward and officers and soldiers said: "Little hero, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Xiao Hai smiled and said: "Tonight's matter, don't talk about it, just say that it is the water thief you repelled, and it has nothing to do with me!"

The steward laughed and said, "Little hero, is that really cheap and old?"

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Please smile at it!"

The steward said: "Little hero, the old man's name is Huang Bingtian, in the future, in Jiujiang and Xiakou, as long as you arrive, you will arrange a room with a number, and the fee is free!"

Xiao Hai hurriedly made a humble appearance and said: "I can't help it, I'll take it seriously." ”

The officers and stewards laughed.

As soon as the officers and soldiers and the steward left, they heard the sound of footsteps at the staircase, and Xiao Hai followed the sound and saw the old man running towards him anxiously.

When Xiao Hai approached, he asked, "I heard that there is a little hero here who helps officials and officers and soldiers repel water thieves, I guess it's you, you're not injured, right?"

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "No, it's okay, there's no movement over there, right?"

Lao Ding Tou said with a smile: "At that time, when I heard that there were water thieves, everyone was scared and didn't dare to come out of the house, I intended to come out to help, but it would be good if I didn't make trouble for everyone with this little effort." I didn't dare to come out. ”

Xiao Hai said with a smile: "Tonight, this gang of thieves came and went in a hurry. ”

Lao Ding Tou said with a smile: "Thief, you live for some money, seeing a master like you must save your life there, what money do you need?" ”

Xiao Hai smiled and nodded, and said: "This gang of thieves, they came in a hurry, they went in a hurry, they all said that the thieves were not empty, but the thieves tonight were a little strange." ”

Lao Ding asked, "What's strange?"

Xiao Hai shook his head and said: "I can't say it, it seems that I was harassed and then ran away, there is a water thief who is very good at archery tonight, and I didn't board the boat, but I feel like I'm competing." ”

The old man said, "Probably because you ruined their good deeds, right?"

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Probably." ”
