13. Dongting Lake Hundred Dragons Fight for the West Ferry Juvenile Meritorious Service
"Whoosh", three arrows flew out in succession, all of them shooting at a straw man by the lake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw Ah Fei holding a bow and arrow in his hand, with his back to the straw man, running dozens of steps, and suddenly rose into the air, leaning back and shooting at the straw man.
"Go!" Ah Fei shouted. This arrow hit the straw man again.
"Okay, Brother Ah Fei is good at archery!" Qian Sheng clapped his hands and praised, "At first, you asked me to tie a straw man for you to practice archery, I thought you were talking about fun, but I didn't expect your skills to be so powerful!"
"Haha, Second Brother Qian has won the prize!" Ah Fei put away the bow and arrows and said, "Let's go home, we will go to the lake to watch the dragon boat race later!"
"Good. Qian Sheng nodded.
Today, it is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the Dongting Thirteen Water Gang will hold a "Hundred Dragons Meeting" on Dongting Lake, and thousands of boats will race, showing the heroism of the gang.
Early in the morning, Zhao Yong took Sun Bao, Li Shen and other brothers to the race place to prepare in advance, planning to show their skills at the Hundred Dragons Meeting. And Qian Sheng couldn't row, so he didn't go with him.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" As soon as they arrived home, Ah Fei and Qian Sheng heard Zhao Fu's cough.
"Big brother, why don't you rest in the house, why are you running outside?" Qian Sheng said hurriedly when he saw that Zhao Fu was standing in the courtyard sickly.
"Second brother, the weather seems to be good today!" Zhao Fu said to himself as if he hadn't heard it.
"Yes, on such a sunny day, it must be clear to see them rowing dragon boats for a while. ”
"Hmm. Zhao Fu nodded, and said to Ah Fei again: "Ah Fei, I heard that you have been practicing archery recently, I wonder how you are practicing?"
Ah Fei put down the bow and arrow in his hand and said, "My archery skills are good!"
"Well, I heard the bell girl say, you like hunting very much, one day you can give us a few hares and ducks or something, and let everyone try it. Zhao Fu said and smiled at Ah Fei.
"Good. Seeing Zhao Fu smiling, Ah Fei's heart sank. After these months of communication, he knew that Zhao Fu rarely smiled at people, but in recent days, Zhao Fu has always smiled and talked to people. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was like.
"It's almost time. Second brother, you go and call the bell girl and the unwise master to come out, we should go and see Ah Yong and they win!" Zhao Fu said.
"I'll go. Qian Sheng answered and entered the house.
Zhao Fu led Ah Fei out of the gate, and then said, "Ah Fei, are you sure?"
"No problem, now I'll wait for Li Zhenze to show up. ”
"Well, I'll point him out to you in a moment. Zhao Fudao, "Your injuries are fine, right?"
"It's been fine. Ah Fei said, "Brother Afu, it's your body ......"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. ”
After Qian Sheng and them came out, everyone rushed to the Bailong Conference by Dongting Lake.
At this time, the Dongting Lake was already crowded with people, and even the nearby restaurants and shops were crowded with people who came to see the dragon boats. Fortunately, all the water gangs have set up stands by the lake, otherwise Zhao Fu and A Fei and a few of them may not even have a place to watch dragon boats.
Among the many stands, the stands in the center are the highest, and there is a big gong hanging on the central stand, which is obviously the stand where the old leader of the Thirteen Water Gang is located. And the grandstand of Lao Zhao's house is on the left side of the central stand. Zhao Fu and others boarded their own stands, and when they looked around, they saw that on Dongting Lake, colorful dragon boats were neatly coiled in the water, and the brothers of the Thirteen Water Gang were also sitting in the boats one by one, ready to go, just waiting for the gong to sound, they had to use all the strength of their bodies.
Zhao Fu looked at so many dragon boats and said with a smile: "Ah Yong said that our dragon boat is black, you look for it quickly, why didn't I see them?"
"Look, brother, they're there!" the little bell suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted.
Several people hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the little bell, only to see a dragon boat with a pitch-black body and a silver-white pattern hanging in front of the central grandstand not far away. The young people in the boat were uniformly dressed in black linen shirts and red turbans, looking particularly neat and orderly. And the drummer sitting at the front of the dragon boat is the eldest brother of the Zhao family - the black dragon Zhao Yong.
When Ah Fei and Little Bell saw that they had found Zhao Yong, they shouted Zhao Yong's name and waved at him in a jumping motion. Zhao Yong also saw them, so he waved the drumstick in his hand and signaled to them with a smile.
When the brothers on the dragon boat saw Zhao Yong waving his hand, they all looked back and saw that there were already people in their stands, so they all shouted loudly and waved their hands. After shouting for a while, everyone shouted in unison, under the command of Zhao Yong: "The black dragon will win! The black dragon will win!"
"Who thinks of this number, it's too shameless. Zhao Fu shook his head and said.
"Who else can there be, in this case, only my brother can think of it. Little Bell said with a smile.
Everyone laughed, but they heard someone in the central stand next to them shouting: "Brothers of the Water Gang, please be quiet!" The person who spoke was a man of medium stature, and those who knew him knew that his name was Tan Daozhong, and he was the chief supervisor of the Thirteen Water Gang, who was above 10,000 people under one person.
"Brother of the Water Gang, please be quiet!" Tan Daozhong said again, his voice was extremely loud and spread far away, and it was obvious that he was a master of the house. The noisy lakeside gradually quieted down, only to hear Tan Daozhong continue: "Everyone, the Hundred Dragons Association of our Dongting Thirteen Water Gang will start soon! Let's ask Jiang Laolongtou to say a few words to us first!"
"Good!" shouted the Water Gang, and the surroundings became noisy again.
Jiang Chengyi took a few steps forward, waved at everyone, and then began to speak. It's just that the people below are too noisy, and what he said at the beginning couldn't be heard clearly. Later, the crowd gradually quieted down, and only then did they hear Jiang Chengyi's words, which turned out to be useless scenes.
Ah Fei was a little nervous when he participated in such a gathering for the first time, so he listened carefully to Jiang Chengyi's words, and he didn't want the little bell beside him to laugh deliciously. Ah Fei felt strange and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
The little bell covered her mouth and whispered, "I just thought that the person's words just now were too boring, so I wanted to laugh." ”
"Are you bored?" Ah Fei said, "Why don't I think, isn't it just normal talking." ”
"You haven't participated in the Hundred Dragons Society before, of course you don't think so. In the past, it was Afogo who stood there and spoke. Brother Afu's words are much better than those of that person. And after Brother Afu finished speaking, my father never spoke, just struck the gong, which is like the current old dragon head, chattering endlessly. ”
When Zhao Fu heard Xiao Bell's words, he squatted down and said to her: "Sister, don't talk about what you said just now, it's not good for others to hear it." Everyone's approach is different, and you can't say that people are doing something wrong, you know?"
The little bell nodded suspiciously, but she didn't know what she had said wrong.
Zhao Fu patted Ah Fei on the shoulder, then walked to the side and beckoned to him, "Ah Fei, come here." When he got closer, he whispered: "The left rear of our stand is the stand built by the Jiang Long Gang." You look sideways a few times, but don't let them realize you're looking at them. ”
"Hmm. Ah Fei was a little nervous when Zhao Fu said this, so he turned his head slightly, and glanced sideways at the grandstand behind the left.
"See?" Zhao Fu asked.
"See. ”
"How many people are there?"
"Five. ”
"Good. Remember, the slender tall man standing in the middle and wearing a cyan shirt is Li Zhenze. If you don't remember his face, look at it a few more times later. ”
"Okay, I got it. Ah Fei nodded.
I don't know when, Jiang Chengyi's words have already been spoken. I only heard a gong in the central stand, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly broke out on Dongting Lake, and all the dragon boats on the lake rushed out. And Zhao Yong's black dragon boat took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
Seeing that his dragon boat was ahead, Little Bell couldn't stop clapping his hands and applauding: "Brother Ah Fu, Brother Ah Fei, come and see, our black dragon is the first name!"
"yes. Ah Fei replied calmly and stopped talking. Now he just wants to find a chance to take a few more glances at Li Zhenze's appearance, even if this game is good, he can't be interested. Even if there is a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of him, I am afraid he will feel bored.
The Zhao family's black dragon boat was very fast, and it didn't take long to leave most of the dragon boats behind, except for the red dragon boat that was still biting tightly. Ah Fei listened to the shouts from the stands of the Jianglong Gang in the left rear, and knew that the red dragon boat belonged to the Jianglong Gang.
"You must win!" Ah Fei knew that he was now competing with the Jianglong Gang, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and read in his heart.
After the two dragon boats went side by side for a while, I saw that Zhao Yong on the black dragon boat suddenly sped up the drum, and the brothers of the old Zhao family also rowed faster and faster with the drum. The drummers on the red dragon boat wanted to keep up with the speed of the black dragon boat, so they gradually increased the drum beat, and some of the oarsmen of the Jianglong Gang couldn't keep up with the drums, but instead confused themselves and slowed down. The black dragon boat took this opportunity to take a lead in the hull.
"Win!" cried out the little bell, clapping her hands.
"Hurry to the ferry, they're leaving. Zhao Fu whispered beside Ah Fei.
Ah Fei panicked, and immediately looked back, only to see that the people in the left rear stands had already gone down. It turned out that Li Zhenze saw that his dragon boat was too far behind, and he had no intention of looking at it again, so he planned to go home.
"Good. Ah Fei responded, jumped directly from the stands, and flew towards Zhao Yong's house.
Li Zhenze's boat stopped at a small ferry port in the west of Yuezhou City. Yesterday, Zhao Fu also personally took Ah Fei there to check and confirm the location of the ship. From the lakeside of the dragon boat race to the ferry port in the west of the city, he happened to pass by Zhao Yong's house on the way, so Ah Fei put the bow and arrow in the courtyard - after all, carrying the bow and arrow to see the dragon boat is too conspicuous and easy to be remembered.
Ah Fei took the bow and arrow, hesitated for a moment, and then went into the house and put the purple gold knife behind his back.
"If you miss it, you might be able to use it. He thought to himself.
When he arrived at the ferry port west of the city, Ah Fei didn't see a single figure. After all, the hundred dragons will be noisy and noisy, and the boatmen at the ferry have all gone to see the dragon boats.
Ah Fei saw that Li Zhenze's boat was still parked at the ferry, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that they haven't arrived yet." He took out a black cloth from his bosom, covered his face, and climbed up a large tree near the ferry. This big tree grows extremely tall and grows luxuriantly, and when Ah Fei followed Zhao Fu over yesterday, he had already planned in his heart to ambush Li Zhenze on this big tree.
"The next thing to do is wait...... It's like waiting for prey. Hey, it's kind of like ...... Catch sparrows. Ah Fei held the bow in his hand, lying on the thick branch, thinking.
Some people passed by the ferry, but the "sparrow" never appeared, Ah Fei couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart: "Why haven't you come yet, am I going wrong again?" But the scenery here is almost exactly the same as what I saw yesterday!" He was afraid that he would go to the wrong place again last night, and he made three special trips, for fear that something would go wrong today. Ah Fei looked at Li Zhenze's boat and was sure that he had made a mistake, but where were Li Zhenze and the others?
In Yuezhou in May, it was already a little humid and stuffy, and Ah Feiwen lay on the tree without moving, only feeling sweaty. But he didn't dare to move easily, for fear that when he moved, he happened to be seen by the Jianglong Gang who rushed over, so all his efforts would be in vain. If you don't succeed this time, it will be difficult to think about going to Tanzhou to kill Li Zhenze. After all, Tanzhou is the territory of the Jianglong Gang, and it is not a simple matter to kill the gang leader of the family in other people's territory.
Ah Fei looked at the shadows of the trees on the ground from long to short, and then from short to long, knowing that it was almost past noon at this moment, and thought secretly: "This Li Zhenze, doesn't he want to have lunch before leaving? My grandfather was at home, and he only ate two meals a day, and he didn't eat at noon. ”
Jiang Yue laughed at that old horseman, he didn't even see the door closed, and he looked down on the helper too much!" Suddenly, Ah Fei heard someone talking, so he leaned close to the branch and looked down cautiously. I saw that the five people who were in the stands of the Jianglong Gang just now were slowly walking towards the ferry.
"Hmph, he thought I had done it to Zhao Yong without his consent, so he didn't want to have anything to do with me openly. That old fox, shrewd!" The person who spoke, wearing a cyan shirt, was Ah Fei's "prey" Li Zhenze.
Ah Fei waited for these people to get a little farther away, so he took a feather arrow in his hand, lay on the tree and took a slight aim, and pulled the bowstring.
"Ahh Although this arrow hit Li Zhenze in the back, it was not fatal. When Li Zhenze's four subordinates saw that something was wrong, they immediately gathered around Li Zhenze.
"Who dares to release a cold arrow at Lao Tzu?" Li Zhenze turned around and yelled at Ah Fei.
"Oh no!" Ah Fei knew that the arrow was fired, and he revealed his position. Since the ambush failed, they had no choice but to flee.
Li Zhenze saw that the person hiding in the tree seemed to be a child, and said angrily: "It turned out to be a child, catch him!"
When the four men received the order, they immediately rushed forward to arrest them.
Ah Fei didn't wait for the four of them to jump up, so he kicked the trunk of the tree with his right foot and flew out of the tree sideways. At that moment, his mind moved, and he turned over and shot an arrow at Li Zhenze.
"Look!" Ah Fei shouted.
This time, the arrow was firmly inserted into Li Zhenze's head.
