Chapter Ninety-One: The Taihu Lake Building
Tian Qi and the others are worthy of being Taihu Lake bandits, and I don't know if they are accustomed to operating boats more than riding horses, or deliberately don't want Ding Yu to remember the location of the Twelve Docks, when there are still dozens of miles away from the edge of Taihu Lake, they dismount and take a boat, and along the intricate cobwebs and rivers in the southeast of Taihu Lake, each river seems to be similar, the terrain is so complicated, no wonder the Twelve Docks have occupied the lake for many years, and the government has always been helpless against them.

Ding Yu overlooked, in the distance of this river network, is a large area of turquoise water, where is the vast Taihu Lake. Once upon a time, he fought with Huang Laoxie in Guiyunzhuang on the shore of Taihu Lake, and he couldn't even take ten moves, and was almost killed by the angry Huang Laoxi.
After a long day of twisting and turning in the river net, the boat finally came to a small fishing village on the edge of Taihu Lake, only to see that there were some thatched-roof bamboo and wooden houses all around, and every household was drying dried fish with fishing nets outdoors, which looked no different from ordinary fishing villages.
Ding Yu was surprised in his heart: Could this be where the old nest of the Twelve Chains Dock is located? The concealment is indeed hidden, but it is too bitter, if you are willing to live such a life, why gather in Taihu Lake and rob the house?
Sure enough, as soon as their boat docked, two men dressed as fishermen stepped forward and saluted Tian Qi and Ding Yu: "Lord Jiuwu, Master Ding Yu, Master Dawu ordered me to wait to meet the two, and the boat of the Lord of the Great Dock is in the sea. "The Taihu Lake bandits used to call Taihu Lake the sea, and the sea he said was actually Taihu Lake.
Ding Yu was relieved in his heart, it turned out that this was just a place to respond, no wonder it was so simple.
Tian Qi nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”
The two men took Tian Qi, Ding Yu and others across the fishing village to a hidden bay, where a medium-sized clipper boat five or six zhang long was parked, and there were two round oars one zhang high on the side of the boat. After a few people got on the boat, one of the men shouted, "Go boat!
Several people in the cabin agreed in unison, and the two oars on the side of the boat began to paddle loudly, and the clipper sailed quickly towards the Taihu Lake.
Ding Yu looked at the two paddles paddling quickly with interest, he remembered that when he and his girlfriend played in the artificial lake in the park, they had also sat in a small boat similar to the human pedal and driving the oars to rotate, although the scale was far worse than this fast boat, but the principle was the same, I didn't think that there was such a design in this era.
Tian Qi, who was next to him, saw that Ding Yu was fascinated by it, and said proudly: "Master Ding Yu has a good eye, and he can see the key point of our car and ship at a glance. Our 12 chain docks can come and go like the wind in Taihu Lake, and this bicycle boat can be said to be indispensable, sailing with the wind, stepping on the oars without the wind, and the end is extremely fast. Don't say that ordinary merchant ships, even the speedboats of the imperial court, can only follow behind and drink the wind. ”
About half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened, the thick fog on the lake rose, a row of lights could be seen in front of the shadow pupils, Ding Yu only said that the light place was the island where the headquarters of the twelve chain docks was located, unexpectedly a closer look, it was actually a dozen zhang long, up to five floors of huge building ship, on both sides of the hull, there were six rows of huge oars, the eaves on the ship's floor, the carved beams were painted, just like the luxurious building of the prince's aristocratic family.
The clipper sailed to the building boat dozens of zhang away, and there were sailors waving lights on each side of the boat, and after verifying that the signal was correct, the clipper rowed to the side of the building boat five or six zhang away, and a sailor on the building boat danced a rope with an iron hook a few times, and threw it over, just hooking the side plate of the clipper.
The sailor who threw the hook shouted loudly: "The master of the nine docks, Master Ding Yu, the master of the dock is invited!"
Tian Qi pointed to the rope that connected the two boats and said, "Master Ding Yu, I'm really sorry. Because the sky was dark, it was not easy to put the gangway, so I had to grieve the master and pass from this rope, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness. In the next step, he will take the first step and lead the way for the master. ”
After speaking, he jumped up gently, landed on the hook rope, and followed the hook rope with his hands in his hands, and stepped on the building boat without hindrance. At this time, he turned to Chen Zhong and Chen Yi and said, "You two, don't open the way for the master!"
His actions seem to be no different from walking the high-altitude rope walking in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, at this time, the water on the lake is rippling, and the boat is much higher than the clipper, and the rope is also tilted upward, swaying from side to side. To walk from this hook rope to the opposite building boat, and to walk so chicly, this light work is not idle.
Following Tian Qi, Chen Zhong Chen Yi shouted, jumped from the board to the middle of the hook rope, grabbed the hook rope with both hands, hung his body under the rope, and then grabbed it forward with both hands in turn, and after a while, he came to the end, and then he swung hard, his body turned upside down, twisted his waist and turned his body, and fell steadily onto the boat, revealing his vigorous skills.
Seeing Tian Qisan act like this, Ding Yu frowned slightly. It's not that this "hook and rope on the boat" is difficult for him, but that this kind of action obviously contains the meaning of teaching. This is unreasonable, Twelve Lianwu invited him to be a doctor, why did he want to teach him kung fu?
Ding Yu was slightly unhappy in his heart, although for the sake of the aura purple beads, he would not turn his face with this group of water bandits, but it did not mean that he would be manipulated by others.
He was so angry that he kicked on the deck, and he actually crossed the distance between the two ships in one step, and landed heavily on the ship. He weighed no more than 100 pounds alone, but when he landed on the huge building boat, he actually pressed down one side of the whole building ship like a prehistoric giant elephant, and what was even more strange was that the medium-sized clipper he jumped on was not turbulent, and only gently shook a few times when the water waves stirred up by the building boat came.
Tian Qi's face changed, he was a person who knew the goods, so he could naturally see that Ding Yu intended to demonstrate, but he didn't expect Ding Yu's martial arts to be so amazing, just when he wanted to open his mouth to make amends, there was a burst of applause from above the boat.
When everyone looked up, they saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes standing on the top floor of the shipbuilding, whose face was obscured by the light and shadow, but a pair of eyes were extremely sharp, and in the dark night, it seemed that there was a fine light shooting out.
When Tian Qi and Chen Zhong Chen Yi saw each other, they immediately turned over and bowed, and said: "Tian Qi/Chen Zhong Chen Yi, meet the master/master of the dock." ”
The strong man ignored the three of them first, looked at Ding Yu and said: "Sure enough, it is Master Ding Yu who breaks life and death with one finger, and his martial arts are unfathomable! Fang is the old man who has long admired the prestige of the master, and wants to see it, so he made a joke with the master, and asked the master not to blame my subordinates." ”
It turned out that this person was the master of the dock who invited Ding Yu to heal his injuries this time, listening to his voice, he was really a little lacking in qi, as if he had suffered an internal injury, but seeing that he was walking as usual, and it didn't look like a deep internal injury, could it be some strange and intractable disease?
Ding Yu thought in his heart, and replied in his mouth: "The master of the dock is serious, and the poor monk can't hold back for a while, which makes the master of the dock laugh." I heard that the master of the dock is slightly ill, how about we start to heal now?"
The master of the dock laughed and said: "Not busy, not busy, the master came from afar, although Chang is a careless person, he does not dare to slack off the monk." Please allow Chang to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, and then talk about other things is not too late. Ah Qi, quickly take the master to the ship's building, prepare a thin wine for the master, and wash the dust for the master. (To be continued.) )
