In a wooden house in a small fishing village in the 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 tea cup and drank tea, and the tea cup and tea lid made a dull collision sound, and someone was letting out slight sighs intermittently.
Suddenly, there were heavy footsteps 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 door of the house. As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a bang, and the door of the house 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 heaved violently and he kept breathing heavily, "Ying, Ying pirates..."
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
A calm voice sounded, as if trying to ease the tense atmosphere in the room and the youth's anxiety.
The young man tried hard to calm down the panic in his heart and the rapid breathing caused by running wildly.
"Those murderous Japanese bandits are coming towards us! They are still less than ten miles away, and they will be able to reach our village in less than two quarters of an hour!" The young man finished the words in one breath.
"Ah! The Ying bandits 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 jackals who were seeking their lives.
"How many people can we detect?" The steady voice sounded again. It was not loud, but in such a noisy environment, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Dazhuang, Xiaoshi, I, and they were able to determine the number of thirty people. There are shadows in the distance. It's 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..."
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 majesty of the old village chief in the village was self-evident, and everyone quickly fell silent.
"Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, I am afraid that the villagers will not be able to avoid this catastrophe. You two are highly skilled in martial arts. Take Master Ling and run away for your life. Although we don't have the power to restrain a chicken, we may still be able to confuse people." 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 a woman holding a baby next to him. .
The man in white is named Lin Zhaoyan. Next to him is a dignified and beautiful woman in white with long hair tied up. It 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 already 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 even given our family a place to live, I am afraid that we would have lost our lives. We are still living a life of wandering. From then on, 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 solve the problems in the village.
Old village chief, fellow villagers, we don’t have much time left, so we should do as we agreed in advance. The bandits come from the land, and there are no ships on the sea. You will definitely have a chance of survival by taking a boat out to sea. My husband and I will intercept the bandits and buy you more time. "
Lin Zhaoyan changed his demeanor, spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his tone was unquestionable!
Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes when they heard the words. They are all very simple fishermen. They don't speak big words or falsehoods. 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 live with 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.
Next to her, Lin Zhaoyan stepped forward, 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 that the Japanese bandits were 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. Except for 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 one person from the thirteen families is alive, I will guarantee that the young master will not have to worry about his life! 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 opinions of the old village chief represent the opinions 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 fellow 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." But 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 join you, don't tell me." 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 considered 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 cradle, as he spoke, his cheeks were already covered 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 Lins 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 Lin family and his wife are falling into the circle of twelve bandits. Compared with the previous effort to defeat them one by one, this time they were faced with twelve people who cooperated with each other and responded to each other. The Lins also felt more pressure. However, the two of them were back to back. This shot and the coordination of the two swords also made the rogue bandits... They have no idea where to start.
Suddenly, a harsh whistle sounded, and the bandits who had been surrounding the two of them a moment ago quickly dispersed. Then, a dark cloud seemed to be coming from the direction of the sound, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be densely packed shurikens!
Although the two of them reacted quickly and made timely responses, they shot down almost all the shurikens and dodged them. However, while Lin Zhaoyan was still protecting his wife, a red streak was drawn on his left arm.
poisonous!
Lin Zhaoyan reacted quickly and sealed the meridians of his left forearm.
"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, "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 has been so famous for so long, 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.
"That's how it is." Hearing the man in black's words, Lin Zhaoyan had already concluded that the other man was not coming for him, but he frowned even more, filled with anger, and sarcastically said, "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 grasslands are fighting, and the people are miserable. Zhongzhou's destiny is at the end of the day. I think you and Ning Nuxia are both incompetent. You have so many talented people, but they are not like ants. Why don't you join me in Japan and work together to plan the world? How about I cure this poison for you immediately?" The man in black actually wanted to recruit.
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked at each other and smiled, reading each other's thoughts.
Never leave, never give up, depend on each other for life and death!
"Hmph! Ants? Killing innocent people indiscriminately is such a high-sounding statement! Surrender 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 stopped insisting 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!"
