At this time in the cockpit, Boss He said to Uncle Wan with some worry: "Master Wan, our boat is probably being targeted by people on the road. This water area is narrow, and I have asked Shuisheng to speed up. But this boat You’re too old, you can’t go any faster, Wan Ye needs to make plans early!”
But Uncle Wan looked unconcerned, nodded and said: "Yes! I understand, there is no need to speed up, just keep walking at the original speed."
Seeing the puzzled and worried look in Boss He's eyes, Uncle Wan smiled and comforted him: "It's okay. I've said hello to all the gangs along the line before, so everything will be fine. Just listen to my order and call When you stop the boat, stop immediately without any hesitation.”
Boss He was almost frightened to tears when he heard this. What is this nonsense? Are these water bandits also people who can reason with you? Just say hello and they won't come to snatch you? You are not the boss of the underworld in the Republic of China.
And if you stop the boat when you ask it to stop, isn't this an obvious way for people to come up and snatch it?
He even wondered if Uncle Wan was a young man who had already been in cahoots with the water bandits and sold out his boss?
Just as Boss He was getting more and more scared, his son Shuisheng suddenly shouted: "Dad, look ahead?"
Boss He looked forward and saw a large wooden boat stranded sideways on a rocky beach in the middle of the river, blocking more than half of the channel ahead.
You must know that the river channel in this water area is narrow to begin with. In addition, there is a reef area in the center of the river, and after countless years of siltation, the already narrow river channel is divided into two left and right channels.
And every rainy season, when the water level rises, this reef area will be submerged. If an unsuspecting person sails here, it is easy to sail into the central reef area. At the least, the boat may be stranded and trapped, or at worst, the boat may capsize and people may die.
Therefore, the local fishermen and boatmen call this area of water Guijianchou.
The reason why Boss He scolded his son before was that the river on the left side of Guijianchou was slightly wider and deeper, making it more suitable for large ships to pass. However, because there were several wooden boats at the fork that were traveling slowly on the left front, He Shuisheng subconsciously changed to the right channel.
Now seeing that the channel ahead is blocked, even a fool knows that this time he is really being plotted.
But Boss He has had experience at least, and knows not to panic at this time. The more panicked, the more likely it is that something will happen.
Although he was still afraid in his heart, he also knew that it was a blessing, not a curse, and that he could not avoid it. Anyway, if the sky falls, Wan Ye, who is taller, will still hold it up. All he has to do is make sure not to capsize the boat.
So Boss He pushed away his son, whose calves were starting to tremble and his face turned pale, and took the helm himself.
He saw that although part of the channel was blocked, as long as he estimated the distance between the ships and stuck to the canyon wall on the right, he could still pass through with confidence, relying on his skills.
But at this moment, a big hand was placed on his shoulder, and Uncle Wan whispered in his ear: "If you can't get through, stop the boat."
Boss He argued: "Master Wan, I can go there, I promise..."
The heavy hand on his shoulder made him pause in his words.
Uncle Wan's voice started to sound harsh: "Stop when I say stop, don't talk nonsense."
Boss He turned around and saw Uncle Wan's eyes staring at him like knives. Boss He suddenly shuddered in his heart and quickly ordered: "Stop the boat, stop the boat quickly."
The Yangtze River No. 1 was not traveling very fast, and soon it stopped less than 20 meters away from the stranded wooden boat.
At this time, I saw people on the wooden boat shouting for help, and some people took off their short coats and waved and shouted.
But Uncle Wan sneered and said: "Ignore it, just wait here."
The ship rose and fell silently in the river.
But in the cockpit, the heartbeats of Boss He and the others were countless times faster than the rhythm of the ship's ups and downs.
At this time, the clouds in the sky were dense and thick, as if they had formed a solid body and were about to be pressed down from the sky at any time.
Just when the tense atmosphere in the cockpit became more and more breathless, Xiao Liuzi screamed: "Boss He, Master Wan, look, there are many ships coming from behind."
Before Boss He could turn his head, his son He Shuisheng's cry sounded almost at the same time: "Ahead, there are many boats coming ahead."
However, he saw that a few hundred meters away, which was mostly obscured by dark clouds, there were countless masts rising and falling in the river, gradually approaching here.
The water bandits finally arrived.
By this time, Boss He had completely understood that this Wan Ye was deliberately waiting for the water bandits to rob him. He might have really hooked up with the water bandits a long time ago.
Seeing this situation, Boss He was not very scared anymore. He knew that he, his son and the dozen or so crew members on the ship were definitely not the targets of Wan Ye's scheme. They were just trying to grab goods and ships. As long as he obeyed Wan Ye's orders in everything, he and others would just suffer a little, and there would be no danger. Worry for life.
At that moment, he hugged Uncle Wan's hands and said: "Master Wan, when you called me, our father and son and the crew all followed. We have been listening to you all the way. When the time comes, we, the boss, will My life and death depend on your thoughts, so please be merciful."
Uncle Wan saw that Boss He was still such a bachelor at this age, so he glanced at him again, but he felt a little dumbfounded in his heart, knowing that he had been misunderstood by the new captain.
At this time, seeing that the fish had taken the bait, there was nothing to hide, and there was no need to frighten this very responsible old man anymore, so he smiled and said: "Look at you, Boss He, what are you thinking about? What about life and death?" Damn it, don’t think blindly. Can you tell what’s going on just by looking at the deck?”
Only then did Boss He walk out of the cabin and look towards the deck. He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and his eyes were wide open at just one glance. He didn't even notice that huge raindrops had fallen from the sky, but he was soaked in the water in an instant. .
But at this time, in a small open space in the middle of the cargo pile, there was a group of soldiers with guns and live ammunition standing in the dark.
I saw them wearing steel helmets and blue military uniforms, but the military uniforms were a bit weird and looked like the work clothes of skilled workers. There are bulging penises on the chest, waist, and legs.
Boss He has also seen the world. He doesn't know which army these officers and soldiers belong to, but he knows that these officers and soldiers are a group of evil spirits. Because the pouring rain could not conceal the inexplicable aura exuding from them, as if a volcano was erupting in their hearts, which was daunting.
Only then did he realize that there was actually such a group of officers and soldiers hidden on his ship, and they were also a group of extremely fierce evil spirits.
