Chapter 672 The river bank is surrounded (Happy belated Mid-Autumn Festival!)
The fifth day of August.
From this day on, officials from all over the country successively visited the Jianghu gangs within their jurisdiction according to the imperial edicts they received, and offered rewards for their merits in the battle of Southern Shaolin, and burial subsidies for the martyrs who died in the battle.
Starting from this day, two notices were posted at the government offices from north to south in Zhongzhou.
One set of rewards is to eliminate the remnants of red-clothed villains and the Japanese bandits hiding in Fujian.
The second is to publish a list to recruit Jianghu martyrs to join the army, go to Beiguan, and fight in Wala!
On this day, the Tathagata's holy hand drove a carriage carrying ten thousand taels of gold toward the southwest.
The guards from the East and West factories who were traveling with us were either accompanying us or clearing the way in front of us. If we were slow for a moment, we would avoid falling behind and getting ashes.
On this day, Bing Yi and others, who were in the southeast corner of Fujian, naturally did not know the news yet.
What’s more, compared to the planned plan at the Jinluan Palace on the day of the White Dew Festival, the imperial court’s actions were much gentler.
Of course, if they knew that there was a reward for exterminating the Japanese, they would be able to get a lot of silver in exchange for the merits of destroying two Japanese nests in three days and exterminating more than thirty people.
You won’t have to sleep in the open after a few big meals and drinks to ensure that you have enough money to go back.
at dusk.
The sun is about to set.
Bingyi and the other eight people had already set up a bonfire on the bank of the stream, preparing to light a fire.
Beside the campfire were some freshly picked wild fruits, vegetables, seven potatoes and a dead hare.
Except for the leftover potatoes bought from a village yesterday, wild fruits, wild vegetables and hares were all picked and brought by everyone with their sleeves.
According to everyone's appetite, these things are not enough to satisfy the hunger, but they are more than enough to satisfy the hunger.
At least I won't be hungry before noon tomorrow.
Of course, if we can get some more river fresh food, everyone will have a full meal!
Just do it if you think of it.
Mengfang threw the heavy hammer on the bank, pulled his trouser legs up to his knees, and jumped into the stream with his bare feet.
Peng!
Crash!——
Although Mengfang restrained himself before falling into the water, the Zhangkuan River seemed to be blocked halfway by a huge boulder, causing waves half a man high!
The mud under the stream bed was rolled up, the clear stream was turbid, and there was no trace of fish.
It took a long time before the stream became clear again.
A group of swimming fish that had been frightened just now were probably frightened, and they swam towards their enemy without knowing where to avoid it.
Mengfang's eyes widened, he saw the right moment, and plunged his hands into the water one after another.
If you want to shoot the bow from left to right, grab one with one hand.
Unexpectedly, there is a visual deviation when looking into the water from outside the water. The position of the hands is half a palm's distance from the swimming fish.
Naturally, they all came up empty-handed!
Mengfang's reaction was also quite quick. When he knew he missed a blow, he immediately backhanded and tried to make up for it.
But how could Youyu give him this opportunity?
After being frightened again, the fish seemed to have been beaten to death at the same time, and suddenly they swung their tails and ran out far away!
Just stay in Mengfang and watch the fish thrive!
Several bursts of uncontrollable laughter came from the bank of the stream.
Meng Fang didn't care about his blush, but fixed his gaze on the small figure standing by the stream.
It turned out that a few fish had hid on the shore when the creek bed was shaking, but little did they know that there were people on the shore watching eagerly.
Xiaoying held a long bamboo with sharpened ends in both hands, squinting and looking at the few fish living in a corner with great concentration.
The next moment, Xiaoying suddenly exerted his strength, and the long bamboo plunged into the water!
A scoff brought out pieces of spray covered in cherry red blood!
Several fish shadows fled in panic.
And on the long bamboo tip pulled out from the stream, a fish was penetrated through the head, and it flopped a few times and then stopped moving.
"Hiss, that's awesome! I didn't expect Xiaoying to still have this skill!"
Meng Fang praised the fish, and when he looked around, he couldn't see half a fish anymore. He was very upset that he was too vulgar, and the fish should be stabbed by the little shadow, so that everyone could eat more fish.
Several other people who happened to look here couldn't help but admire him again and again.
After getting along with each other for a few days, we have become quite familiar with each other, but this is the first time that he has been praised by everyone.
Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a little shy, and whispered: I'm just lucky.
While removing the fish from the bamboo tip, lower your head and let the bangs hang down to cover your face.
After delivering the fish to the campfire, he whispered: "I'll try to see if I can catch one or two more."
Immediately turned around and took small steps to run slightly downstream.
He walked cautiously close to the stream bank, leaning back slightly and squinting, looking for prey in the water.
Sitting beside the bonfire were Bing Yi, Mo Li and Xiao An.
Bing Yi was holding a dagger and concentrating on dealing with the hare.
Mo Li was originally choosing vegetables with Xiao An. When he saw Xiao Ying bringing new food, he picked up the fish and skillfully scraped the scales and cheeks with a dagger to remove the guts.
Except for the dagger in Bing Yi's hand, whether it was Mo Li, the dagger in Xiao An's hand, or Xiao Ying, the dagger on Xiao Lian's waist was all bought at the blacksmith shop in Longxi Town three days ago.
For Mo Li, double thorns are naturally more suitable, but double thorns are not popular in the southeastern area of Zhongzhou. In ordinary blacksmith shops, you can only find walking stick-style double crutches, and there are basically no sharp-edged Emei thorns, and consider that
When Professor Gengyi got started with daggers, Xiao An, Xiao Lian, and Xiao Ying were all equipped with double daggers.
While his hands were busy with work, Mo Li suddenly asked: "Did Xiaoying live by the sea before?"
Mo Li didn't speak loudly, and the person he was asking was obviously Xiao An, who was here.
Xiao An was slightly startled when she heard this, and roughly understood that Mo Li was asking Xiao Ying if she had any fishing experience, but she had no idea and could only shake her head with a smile.
Mo Li, who didn't get an answer, suddenly said: "Oh, sorry, I forgot that the three of you didn't know each other completely before."
Xiao An looked a little embarrassed, but said it was okay, and then explained: "We often confide in each other now, but we rarely talk about the past, and our understanding of each other's past is limited."
Mo Li, who knew that he had just made a mistake, apologized: "I was too abrupt."
Hearing the two women's apologies, it didn't matter to her, but Bing Yi on the side seemed to turn a deaf ear. He only glanced at Mo Li and then seriously tied the hare with its internal organs and fur removed to a small bamboo pole.
Bing Yi didn't fully understand Mo Li, but he noticed that Mo Li's sudden question was not a random question, but had a strong purpose, and he didn't know what he was trying to test.
Just as I was thinking this, another clear and sweet slapping sound came from the shore.
Xiaoying succeeded again!
Mengfang seemed to have been stuck in the stream watching Xiaoying perform the fish spearing from just now. He praised happily: "Hey! That's really good! Xiaoying girl is really capable. Whoever goes out with you in the future will not worry about being hungry!"
Nangong Hanyu had just cracked a pile of new firewood and shouted straight to Meng Fang: "Brother Meng, you can't be lazy and watch the show. Why don't you go hunt some game while it's still bright? What about a wild boar?"
Forget it, just get another pheasant or hare!"
Meng Fang laughed and said, "I'm looking down on you, Brother Meng. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't find a wild boar here, otherwise I would have to carry a wild boar for you today!"
While talking, Mengfang had already begun to move towards the shore.
It is also located on the edge of this stream, and the water is knee-deep.
The deepest part in the center should be enough to cover Mengfang's chest.
In order not to make too much noise and not to affect the small shadow fish, Mengfang slowly moved away.
When they were still two steps away from landing, Mengfang suddenly noticed dozens of shadowy figures about thirty feet away surrounding them.
Mengfang's first reaction was to look back to the other side of the stream. Unsurprisingly, he saw the same scene.
He looked solemn and said anxiously: "We are surrounded!"
Then he jumped ashore, picked up the square hammer, and roared loudly!
"How dare Xiao Fang come to disturb your grandpa's purity?!"
