In a wooden house in a small fishing village in Southeast Bay, more than ten people seemed to be waiting uneasily for something. No one spoke, except for the occasional person who picked up a teacup and drank tea. The teacup and tea lid made a dull collision sound.
Who let out a slight sigh intermittently.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside the door. From far to near, it became clearer and clearer. It was someone running.
Da Niu suddenly raised his head, glanced at the village chief, stood up and ran towards the house door. As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a bang, and the door was knocked open, almost hitting Da Niu.
A young man who looked like a half-black tower wanted to rush in, but staggered. Daniel hurriedly held him up. The young man was panting and exhausted.
"Here we come..." Apparently he hasn't recovered yet. The young man's chest was rising and falling violently, and he kept breathing heavily, "Ying, Ying pirates..."
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
A calm voice sounded, intending to use his own calmness to relieve the tense atmosphere in the room and downplay the anxiety caused by the young man.
The young man tried hard to calm down the panic in his heart and gasped involuntarily after running wildly.
"Those murderous Japanese bandits are coming towards us! They are less than ten miles away, and they can reach our village in less than a stick of incense!" The young man finished the words in one breath.
"Ah! The Japanese invaders are coming to kill us. We can't survive!"
"No, no, no, those Japanese invaders are so heartless, but they won't let them go, young, old, women or children!"
"Village Chief, Hero Lin, what should we do?"
…
Although everyone in the room gathered here and were mentally prepared for the incident, when the bad news came, everyone still showed panic, unable to suppress the fear in their hearts of those wolves that were seeking their lives.
"How many people can we detect?" The steady voice sounded again. The voice was not loud, but in such a noisy environment, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Dazhuang, Xiaoshi and I were able to determine the number of thirty people. There are shadows in the distance, which is not really clear. There are about ten figures." The young man replied.
"Ah! So many Ying bandits are coming!"
"It's really over this time..."
Voices of questions, panic, despair, and sighs filled this small space.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say!" An old voice sounded. The old village chief's majesty in the village was self-evident, and everyone quickly fell silent.
"Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, I'm afraid the villagers will not be able to avoid this catastrophe. You two are highly skilled in martial arts. Take your master and run away. Although we don't have the power to tie a chicken, we can still confuse you."
I want to buy you some time, so hurry up and leave!” The old village chief said sincerely to the man next to him, a man with light eyebrows and sharp eyes, a chin and a tiger beard, dressed as a fisherman in white clothes, and the woman holding a baby next to him.
.
The man in white is named Lin Zhaoyan. The man next to him is also dressed in white. His long hair is tied up. The dignified and beautiful woman is his wife, Mrs. Lin, Ning Sufang.
I never thought that the old village chief would make such a decision. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet and desperate.
"Old village chief, what are you talking about? We have made arrangements before, so we will act according to the original plan." Lin Zhaoyan flatly refused, his voice still calm and powerful.
"Master Lin, why are you doing this? Your chances of survival are much better than those of us fishermen who don't know martial arts. Don't waste your time. Let's go." The old village chief shook his hands like a rattle and did not agree with Lin Zhaoyan's suggestion.
Decide.
"What did the old village chief say? Two years ago, Mr. Lin was in trouble and came here with his wife. If the village chief and other villagers had not generously helped us, taught us fishing skills to make a living, and given our family a place to live, I'm afraid
To this day, we are still living a life of displacement. Since then, we have been a part of this fishing village. We will be robbed by bandits in vain this time, and it is our duty to help the village solve its problems.
Old village chief, fellow villagers, we don't have much time left, so we should do as we have agreed in advance. The bandits came from the land, and there are no ships on the sea. You will definitely have a chance of survival by taking a boat to sea. My husband and I will
Go and intercept those bandits and buy you more time."
Lin Zhaoyan changed his demeanor and spoke sonorously and forcefully, with a firm tone that was irresistible.
Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes when they heard this. They are all very simple fishermen. They don't speak big words or lies, and they only use actions to express their sincere gratitude.
A dozen people fell to their knees in unison. Lin Zhaoyan only had time to stop the old village chief, but he was helpless to the people around him.
"My fellow villagers, you have really offended someone in Lin." After saying that, Lin Zhaoyan and his wife beside him knelt down to return the favor.
"Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, you can bear this kneeling, you can bear it!" The old village chief's trembling hands held Lin Zhaoyan and Ning Sufang at the same time, and they knelt down stubbornly and kowtowed. Seeing that they could not refuse, they
I had to endure it.
"My husband and I have something to ask of you, and I hope you won't refuse." This time it was Ning Sufang who spoke.
"It's okay, Mrs. Lin," the old village chief said.
"I hope you can take this poor boy like me away with you. If you can find a place where no one will disturb you and live in seclusion, away from the hustle and bustle, that would be the best. If not, don't let him get involved in the world in the future... No
, As long as he can live well, everything will be fine." Mrs. Lin handed over the baby in her arms, with tears in her eyes.
Lin Zhaoyan stood next to her, put his hands on his wife's shoulders, and looked at everyone with pleading eyes.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the little life that had just turned one month old. The child had been suffering from a cough in the past few days, which coincided with the news of the Japanese bandits massacring nearby villages. Everyone was focused on preventing the bandits from attacking.
The child's care was indeed neglected. At this moment, it seemed that the child was very well-behaved in his mother's arms. Apart from a few inaudible coughs, he neither cried nor fussed, which made people feel pity for him.
"Mrs. Lin is serious. You and your wife are risking their lives for our whole village. Taking care of Mr. Ling should be our duty. Don't worry, apart from you, there are other people in this fishing village.
As long as there is one person alive in the thirteen households, I will ensure that the young master is safe! If I am lucky enough to survive, I will definitely raise the young master to adulthood. Of course, I believe that with the efforts of the two of you, we will be able to find us again and join us.
"The old village chief took over the infant baby with great kindness.
The opinion of the old village chief represents the opinion of the whole village. The heads of each household in the house also echoed the opinion and promised with their chests that they would spare no effort to take good care of the little boy.
"I'll leave everything to you, the villagers." The couple bowed to the villagers to thank them.
"I still don't know what your master's full name is?" the old village chief asked.
"Just call me Chen'er." Ning Sufang shook her head. I don't know whether it was because she hadn't given the child a full name yet or because she didn't want to say it. "Village chief, if my husband and I fail to meet you, don't give me a name."
Tell him our names."
The old village chief was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first met the couple two years ago. He stopped talking and nodded in agreement.
"Let him take this jade pendant with him. It can be regarded as some thoughts that my husband and I left for him." Ning Sufang took out an jade pendant from her arms, engraved with the word "chenyuan", and put it in the wrapped bag
In the baby's womb, as he spoke, his cheeks were already stained with tears.
After everything was done here, everyone acted according to the previous plan. Thirteen families in the village boarded three fishing boats that had been prepared and left. The Lin couple picked up their guns and swords and looked for the direction from which the Japanese pirates came.
He easily defeated several pathfinders and led them to the opposite direction to the fishing village.
At this time, by the reeds.
The Lins and his wife are falling into the encirclement of twelve gangsters. Compared with the previous ones, which were easily defeated one by one, this time they are faced with the siege of twelve people who cooperate and respond to each other. The Lins are also feeling more pressure. However,
The two of them were back to back, and the combination of this shot and the two swords also made it impossible for the bandits to attack.
Suddenly, a harsh whistle sounded, and the bandits who had been surrounding the two of them just now dispersed quickly, as if they had received some instructions.
I saw that the direction where the sound came from seemed to be the passing of dark clouds, and half of the sky was darkened in an instant.
Upon closer inspection, there are actually densely packed hidden weapons - shurikens!
Even though the two responded quickly, almost knocking down the shurikens in front of them, or dodging them, some fish slipped through the net and the two of them were overwhelmed.
In the end, while Lin Zhaoyan was protecting his wife, he was accidentally cut open on his left arm.
poisonous!
Lin Zhaoyan quickly sealed the meridians in his left forearm to prevent toxins from attacking his heart.
"Brother Yan!" his wife asked with concern.
"It's okay." The man in white patted his wife's arm and comforted her.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" A vigorous laughter came from far away and suddenly came closer, "I really didn't expect that here I would meet Lin Daxia, who is known as the best sharpshooter in Zhongzhou, and Ning, who is good at using the sun and moon swords.
The heroine, after hearing her name for a long time, is like a thunder in my ears, but now that I see her, she can actually achieve this level with a sword and a sword. I admire her, I admire her."
A man in black wearing a black mask covering most of his face appeared in front of the two of them. Behind him, there were about twenty Japanese ninjas, and those blocking them behind were the twelve bandits from before.
.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that you knew our situation so clearly?" Faced with such a battle, Lin Zhaoyan remained calm and tried to figure out the other party's intention.
"Haha, Mr. Lin is overly worried. In Zhongzhou's words, meeting you two is really a matter of fate. As for why I understand you two so well when I first meet you, it is in line with the old saying in Zhongzhou, 'Know yourself and know your enemy.
You can fight a hundred battles without danger." The man in black explained.
"It's so." Hearing the man in black's words, Lin Zhaoyan had already concluded that the man in black was not coming for him, but he frowned even more, and with anger, he sneered, "Thankfully, there were floods in Japan a few years ago.
At that time, Zhongzhou was still helping us, but he was really a white-eyed wolf!"
"Master Lin, you were hit by our Japanese shuriken that was contaminated with poison. Although the meridians were sealed in time, it would also reduce a lot of the fighting power of the two of you. If the meridians were opened in a moment of excitement, there would be a risk of death.
"The man in black reminded kindly.
"You also know that at this time and that time, in Zhongzhou today, the government is gradually declining, the chivalry in the grasslands is gone, the people are suffering, and the fate of Zhongzhou has reached the end of the day. I think you and Ning Nuxia are both.
How about you, a rare talent who is not like an ant, join me in Japan and plan the world together, and I will cure you of this poison immediately?" The man in black actually wanted to recruit.
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, reading each other's thoughts.
Never leave, never give up, depend on each other for life and death!
"Huh! Ants? Killing innocent people indiscriminately is such a high-sounding statement! To recruit us? Don't have such wishful thinking!" Lin Zhaoyan looked at the man in black, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes became deep and firm.
The man in black is a decisive person, and when he saw this, he no longer persisted and waved his hand to signal everyone to attack.
The couple showed no fear, clasped their fingers together, raised their guns and swords!
"Anyone who offends our Zhongzhou will be punished no matter how far away!"
