The moon was high in the sky and the night was dark. After everyone went to sleep, the big tiger and the two tigers came hand in hand, each holding a thick wooden stick in their hands.
Wu Zhi took out four bamboo hand grenades from the rattan box and handed them two each. After watching them take the grenades with them, he told Er Hu and lay down on the couch to sleep.
The tiger lay on the spot on the deck and rested, leaving the two tigers alone to keep watch.
It was a June day and I spent the night on a boat in the river. There was a cool breeze and it happened to be neither cold nor hot.
Wu Zhi and Dahu needed to recharge their batteries. Although they were worried, they soon started snoring and fell into a deep sleep.
At midnight, Wu Zhi, who was sleeping, was gently pushed awake by Erhu. He quickly stood up from meditating, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked urgently: "What? Is there something wrong?"
"Not yet!" Erhu said softly.
"Oh, then it's my turn." Wu Zhi came to his senses, immediately got down on the bed, stretched, and then said to Erhu: "Then you can sleep, you can sleep on the couch!"
Erhu didn't dare to sleep on the couch, so he found an open space, lay down on the deck, and began to rest.
Wu Zhi stood in the cabin for a while, and then slowly adapted to the discomfort of waking up from a deep sleep. After quietly doing a few stretching movements, he slowly walked to the cabin window under the moonlight, and pulled the
Sit on a stool in front of the window, hide yourself, and look out quietly.
In the dead of night, under the bright moonlight, the waves are sparkling, and the eyes are white. The lights in the distance are like starlight, flickering and flickering.
At this time, a dog bark pierced the sky, and suddenly, more than thirty figures emerged from the pier, each holding a stick or a knife in their hands, pointing towards the river.
These people were members of the Qinglong Gang, and the five leaders were Li Er, Zhang San and others. Everyone looked at the boats in the river, a little surprised and angry. The dock did not dock the boats, but they ran to the middle of the river to moor.
The boat stays overnight, are these two boats so damn sick?
Originally, according to Li Er's plan, when everyone on the boat was asleep at midnight, they would lead their gang to board the boat under the cover of darkness, kill the young man in three strikes, five by five, and then kill him without anyone noticing.
Just kidnap that beautiful girl quietly. They don't want to make the matter too big. Because they have already found out before dark, including the ship boss and the boatman, there are nearly forty people on the two ships. If there is any movement
If it is too big, it will be quite difficult to cause resistance from everyone on board.
Unexpectedly, when they secretly arrived at the dock at midnight, they found that the two boats had moved to the middle of the river. They were dumbfounded and cursed the boat boss for being cunning!
In desperation, Li Er could only order to withdraw first, board the boat they left in Zhenbei, and then come back to do things. The boat that the Qinglong Gang sailed from Weishi County stayed at Zhenbei Ferry, and it was Wu Zhi and his party.
This is a place that ships must pass through, and their purpose is to facilitate interception.
When Wu Zhi saw the shadowy crowd on the pier, he perked up and subconsciously touched the dagger and grenade at his waist. He stared at them silently. These people should be the group that followed them in the evening.
After a while, he saw everyone on the pier leaving invisibly, but Wu Zhi failed to relax his vigilance. He estimated that these people were probably looking for a boat. Soon, their sneak attack would arrive!
After thinking about it, Wu Zhi immediately turned around and pushed Dahu and Erhu, who were sleeping soundly, to wake them up.
"What's wrong? Young Master!" Dahu heard the movement and quickly sat up, rubbing his eyes and asked in a low voice. Erhu had just fallen asleep, his head was dizzy and he hadn't reacted yet.
"Shh! There's a situation, get up quickly! Dahu, go to the stern of the ship immediately, find a place to hide, and keep an eye on the upstream to see if there are any ships coming. If there is a ship coming, send me a message immediately. Erhu, go to the ship behind.
Keep an eye on the back and inform me if there is any situation. I will go to the bow and keep an eye on it!" Wu Zhi whispered word by word.
After Dahu and Erhu picked up the sticks and quietly followed the order, Wu Zhi also quietly walked out of the cabin door, tiptoed to the bow of the ship, hid in a hidden place, sat back, and stared quietly ahead.
The moonlight in the sky was as cold as night. More than half an hour later, a black shadow suddenly appeared in Wu Zhi's eyes. As the black shadow got closer and closer, the outline of a large ship became clearer and clearer. As the ship approached,
Wu Zhi also gradually saw the figures on the boat, and the figures were moving. His heart moved, and he quickly cheered up and stared at the incoming boat with all his attention.
In a moment, the incoming boat stopped in front of Wu Zhi and could not enter.
The robbers or those seeking wealth and death are finally here!
Wu Zhi did not intend to alert the enemy, but quietly stared at the incoming ship, quietly took out the dagger from his waist, and prepared for a fight.
After the incoming boat stopped, the two people on the boat immediately stretched out two bamboo poles, used the hooks on the bamboo poles to gently hook Wu Zhi's side of the boat, and then slowly and forcefully closed the distance between the two boats until there were still five steps left.
In the distance, the incoming ship quietly anchored. After gently placing a plank between the two ships, six men stepped on the plank and carefully touched it one after another. The steel knives in their hands flashed in the moonlight.
With a chilling light.
When the two men gently stepped onto the board of the boat and were about to find a direction to move forward, Wu Zhi suddenly stood up and rushed towards the two men.
"Oh my God!" The two men suddenly saw a figure standing up like a ghost and rushing toward them. They were so frightened that they were at a loss what to do.
"Whoa, whoa!" Before the two of them could react, Wu Zhi quickly approached them and opened the bow left and right with the dagger in his hand, instantly slicing their wrists holding the knife.
"Ah!" "Ah!" screamed twice, and the two men dropped the steel knives in their hands in pain and fell on the board of the ship.
Seeing that the two men were in pain and the steel knife left his hand, Wu Zhi leaned against the mountain and hit the gangster on the right hard with his right elbow. With a "pop", he was knocked into the water. Then he ran to the left and kicked
Kicked the gangster on the left to the ground, then punched him hard on the head, knocking him out instantly.
After dealing with these two people, Wu Zhi looked forward and saw that the two gangsters behind him could barely walk to the side of the ship. They were about to jump off the ship. Wu Zhi quickly picked up the steel knife at his feet. As fast as a galloping leopard, he slashed to the left.
, with one knife and two "pops", the two gangsters were also slashed into the water by him. Wu Zhi didn't care whether they were dead or alive.
At this time, everyone on the boat finally realized what was happening and knew that the other party was on guard. So they rushed to the board with shouts, preparing to rush past more people.
Wu Zhi didn't give them this chance. After the two gangsters fell into the water, he quickly grabbed the board and lifted it with force. At once, the two gangsters who were still on the board were lifted into the water together with the board.
People were dumbfounded and held up steel knives in silent protest.
"Young Master, let me help you!" At this time, Dahu had already heard the noise. He rushed to Wu Zhi's side with a stick in his hand, raised his stick, and was on full alert.
At this time, the gangsters who came on the ship were seen returning to the cabin one after another. After a while, they came out holding a spear-like object, the tip shining brightly in the moonlight. Wu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the situation was not good, and hurriedly pulled
The big tiger beside them quickly turned around and retreated. The two of them had just retreated to the side of the cabin. When they looked back, they only heard the sounds of "puff, puff, thump, thump, thump, thump" one after another, and more than twenty long spears were inserted densely at an angle.
In front, back and left of where Wu Zhi and Da Hu were standing just now, there were some long spears that were thrown further and were stuck diagonally on the wooden wall of the cabin. Two or three more spears were running towards Wu Zhi and Da Hu.
Coming, Wu Zhi quickly used the steel knife in his hand to block left and right, and shot down the incoming spears one by one. The big tiger next to him was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Wu Zhi suddenly became furious, and he knew clearly that these people were here just to take people's lives. They didn't look like impromptu thieves at all. They were obviously premeditated and organized bandits!
Feeling angry, Wu Zhi decided not to be merciful anymore. Without thinking, he immediately dropped the steel knife in his hand. He immediately pulled out the bamboo grenade from his waist with his right hand. He took out the fire fold from his waist pocket with his left hand. After blowing it open, he took out the bamboo grenade.
When the gangsters were in a hurry, they rushed to the side of the ship and calmly lit the grenade in their hands. After the "buzz" sound was heard, they threw it towards the ship with a little force.
When the gangsters saw something flying with sparks coming towards them, they didn't bother to attack. They subconsciously ducked back, and the grenade flew through their feet. They just saw clearly that it was just a bamboo tube with smoke coming out of it.
When I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a loud "bang", and the huge sound wave blew up five or six gangsters nearby.
A big hole was also blown out, and the wooden board stained with sparks slowly started to burn.
This thunderous explosion instantly frightened the gangsters who came on the boat. As if they were punished by God, the two groups fought, and their souls were scattered!
This thunderous explosion immediately caused waves of wild dogs to bark, instantly breaking the tranquility and bringing most of the people in Zhuxian Town to Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao San.
Also woke up by the explosion, the oil lights on the two ships turned on, and everyone rushed out of the cabin to see what happened. The oil lights of every house in the town also turned on, and people in the town also criticized
Go out or look through the door or window to see what's going on.
Before everyone could see clearly what was going on, a second loud explosion followed, which was so deafening that everyone in the town and on the boat was frightened and frightened.
It caused bursts of barking.
This time the explosion was caused by the grenade dropped by Dahu! He followed Wu Zhi and rushed to the side of the ship. After seeing Wu Zhi throw a grenade and injure the gangster, he also followed the same example and took out the bamboo grenade on his body.
, lit it with fire, and threw it onto the gangster's boat. This time it was thrown directly to the cabin of the incoming ship, and it blew up the people who were hiding beside the cabin. This time, it instantly overturned a dozen gangsters.
, blowing up the cabin and causing sawdust to fly everywhere, and a big hole was blown out of the ship's plank. Fires were everywhere, and the screams were endless! Most of the people on the ship had fallen under the explosion of two sets of grenades, and the remaining people
The gangsters who had already been frightened and panicked jumped out of the boat one after another and fled towards the river. Then, some gangsters who were only slightly injured by the explosion or who were seriously injured and could still move also struggled, gritted their teeth, jumped into the river, and swam desperately to the bank.
While swimming, some lost strength and slowly submerged into the water to report to the Dragon King in the water. When they came to the boat, a dozen corpses were left behind.
Wu Zhi watched all this coldly and stopped Dahu at the same time. On a whim, he had already pulled out the second grenade, but Wu Zhi stopped him before he could light it because the invading enemy had already escaped.
It's all gone, no need to waste grenades.
"What's the matter? Is there such a big commotion?" Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Ma Lao Er and Ma Lao San and others on the boat faced the light of the fire and ran towards the bow of the accident. When they got closer, they saw Wu Zhi and
Dahu was standing on the side of the ship, and Ma Laoer asked quickly.
"There were bandits who came to rob the ship, but we drove them away!" Wu Zhi pointed at the incoming ship that was already on fire and said expressionlessly.
"Ah! Robbery ship? Robbery?!" Everyone was startled when they heard the words. When they saw the densely packed spears stuck diagonally on the ship's board, they were even more frightened. Wherever they looked, they all looked at the fire on the opposite side.
When they saw clearly that a dozen corpses were lying quietly on the deck of the opposite ship in the flickering firelight, everyone became even more frightened.
"Oh my God!" Faced with such a tragic situation, some people suddenly exclaimed and sat down on the boat, covering their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly. Xiao'e was also so frightened that she leaned tightly beside Feng Niang, not daring to look directly.
Jin Lian and Liu Yue hugged each other, shivering. Except for some brave people who could still stand, others were so scared that their legs were weak and their faces were pale.
Seeing everyone's fear, Wu Zhi quickly ordered Dahu to join him in pulling out the spears that were stuck diagonally on the ship's board one by one, gathered them together, and threw them on the side of the ship.
"Where did the gangsters come from?" Wu Xiu forced himself to calm down, swallowed, and asked Wu Zhi.
"Here! He will tell us!" Wu Zhi pointed to the figure on the port side and said to Wu Xiu and others. This is the little guy who was knocked unconscious by him, and he has not woken up yet. This little guy
His life was not meant to be cut off, but when Wu Zhi knocked him unconscious, he was lucky enough to lie on the side of the ship and avoid the spear.
Everyone looked in the direction of Wu Zhi's finger and saw another person lying motionless on the board of the boat.
"Is he dead?" Ma Laoer asked quickly.
"I knocked him unconscious, so he probably didn't!" Wu Zhi responded, and then ordered Erhu: "Erhu, go find a rope, tie him up, and take him to my cabin!"
