On the river bank, the fish in the basket were flapping and shaking, and there was still a fishing net that had not been pulled ashore.
Sand and half-pushed large stones can be seen everywhere on the dam, and many handcarts are thrown there.
The twelve boatmen on Mr. Liu's three boats were actively helping to guard these things, and they were on pins and needles.
Alas, why did the battle end like this? I guess the village is now empty and there is no one left.
One of the boatmen stood up and looked around the fish caught based on his experience. He visually counted the more expensive fish, and then based on the price they gave the other party to receive the goods. If he added more, the total would be worth twelve taels. money.
I heard that there are more than 100 families in this village, and each family only gets 180 copper coins. It sounds like a lot, but how can you not think about how many people there are in one family? I wish that all 20 or 30 people would come to fish, and everyone would get the same amount. It's so tiring, and only a few copper coins are enough.
The boatman sighed and said: "A few copper coins are enough to pay for the medicine. This guy's head was beaten to the point where it turned into a dog's head. We can't sit down and talk about anything." The main reason is that it's not worth it. If you hit him, you can fix it. .
There was a leader among the boatmen, and the boat boss snorted: "You know nothing, no one will talk to you these days. Especially if you want to seize the river that you have been occupying on the other side, then you must have the ability to shock Live, otherwise why would I talk to you and be taken advantage of? Besides, this is not a matter of a few copper coins. Who doesn’t know how to settle accounts for copper coins? It’s because of that tone. People will die sooner or later anyway, it depends on how much you want to suffer for the rest of your life. It’s better to die happily.”
The boss of the boat waved his hand again and directed his men: "Okay, don't be so picky. We're not going to focus on anything else. We're just going to focus on the two hot meals last night and this morning. First, help pull up the fishing nets and load them into the baskets. It's not easy. .”
Everyone thought about treating them as human beings in the village opposite. It can be seen with the naked eye that they are obviously richer than this village. Every household has fish, but let alone fish soup, they are not even given hot water to cook, and they are given two yuan per person. A piece of dry food will keep you from starving to death. When the goods are loaded onto the ship and you leave the shore, you will be given two more dry rations.
As for this village, not to mention that their boss is the elder brother of the village, they only said that last night they saw more than a hundred households collecting food, including large radishes and potatoes.
Because they had to use the boat, I made potato sauce and dry food for them last night, and this morning they had radish soup with gnocchi. A woman got up early to cook for them, but I heard that the villagers hadn't eaten yet.
No food, chasing all the way to that village to fight, shouldn't you suffer a loss?
As soon as these dozen men thought of this, they heard thumping footsteps.
More than twenty half-year-old children began to bow when they saw these boatmen:
"Uncle, uncles, please row us to the other side."
They have not been able to touch this river since they were born. Not to mention knowing how to row a boat, they have not even had a few meals of fish.
"this?"
"Uncle and uncle, please!"
"No, no, no, no need to do this, get on the boat!"
The boat boss directed the boatmen to send these half-grown children across the river as quickly as possible.
The boatmen knew in their hearts that they were holding torches and carrying small sticks. They wanted to take a shortcut to light the firewood pile in the opposite village.
Among the more than 20 children, I heard that the oldest was only eleven years old, the youngest was a seven-year-old girl, and there were some left on the shore who were probably between three and five years old.
The boat boss heard the children encouraging each other and said:
"Afraid?"
The seven-year-old girl took the lead and replied with her chest puffed out: "Don't be afraid, Grandma Xu said we are revolutionary young generals!"
The oldest boy waved his arms on the boat and shouted: "Don't be afraid, brothers and sisters, today they dare to light more than 20 firewood piles in our village, we must light their more than 30 firewood piles. Let them You know, if they dare to come to our house tomorrow, we will burn their house and burn them to death."
A bunch of kids yelled back: "Yes, it's not okay for us, and it's not okay for them to let them go. At worst, we'll all die together!"
Damn it, a kid of such age is saying such things.
It seems that this battle is destined to lead to a feud, the kind that can be passed down to the next generation.
The boss of the boat was so frightened that he hurriedly disembarked after him when he reached the shore. For no other reason than that, he was in position to cover how these young revolutionary generals could finish lighting the firewood pile and then escape back to the boat, so as not to get lost and be caught again.
So when Wang Yusheng and other strong men were only chasing halfway, they saw a raging fire burning in Wangjiagou Village, with black smoke rising in clusters.
The people in Wangjiagou Village immediately ran towards their homes in a panic like scattered sand: "The house is on fire."
Wang Lao Ba was the fastest runner and even lost his shoes. He was scolding his ancestors for eight generations. How dare you use this destructive trick of attacking from the front and back for me? You waited for me again. He said: "We The designation is endless!”
The old man wished he could step on the hot wheel, and was afraid that the house would be set on fire.
Even if he only lit the firewood pile, he couldn't bear it. The firewood pile in his village was close to the oil mill, which would cause big trouble for his brother, not to mention that there was a firewood pile next to his house.
When the villagers of Erdaohe saw the fire, they pursued them even more closely. This time, they were not trying to kill the Wangjiacun people, but going to Wangjiacun to confirm whether the children were still safe.
As a result, they saw something while everyone in Wangjiagou was busy putting out the fire. On a boat on the river, a group of little kids raised their blackened faces, showing their little white teeth and said, "Grandpa, dad, get on the boat!" "
Many men were ordered to board the boat in confusion. They really didn't expect that they would go back by boat after fighting to the end.
Wang Yusheng, the second boy of the Wan family, the Sanmengzi, and Guan Ertu, who arrived later, did not board the ship because they had to notify the rear troops as soon as possible to stop the chase.
And these people were running back, laughing, crying, crying and laughing.
Sanmengzi was extremely happy: "Believe it or not, my son is designated in it."
Wang Yusheng said: "I didn't expect that my little girl has more backbone than his father and me!"
The second boy of the Wan family had a big gash on his arm. He looked like he couldn't feel the pain and said with red eyes: "Children can do this. We fathers can't be cowards in the future, because we will do it for the sake of the children when they grow up." If you don’t get angry, you can’t do this again.”
Guan Ertu was old, so tired that he was almost lying on the second boy of the Wan family. From a distance, he was being carried on someone's back. He was wiping away his tears and said excitedly: "I'll take out the golden juice when I get back."
"What is golden juice?"
You don’t need to know that the old excrement and urine soup plus two medicines are extremely effective in treating heat and dampness.
But if you don't add it, I heard that it is the poison on the arrows of the siege tower.
Guan Ertu thought to himself: Look, if Wangjiagou Village doesn't have enough people, then it won't be able to let them go, and it will bring more people.
Then when necessary, we can only fight against the strong and let all the archers in the village who can hunt hunt guard the village.
And what he can contribute to the village is that if he dares to come, he can try poison arrows.
He Guan Ertu couldn't cure people, and if he couldn't cure them, it would be over.
If he wanted to make him angry again, the whole village of Erdaohe would die. That would be the day he poisoned Wangjiagou Village to death with a packet of poison.
The two parties met here, and many wives and mothers-in-law ran to their death.
I heard that everyone in Wangjiagou was busy putting out the fire, so this act of arson was revenge.
Mrs. Xu looked at the string of Wangjiagou hostages in Meizhuang's hand and said, "Take them back."
Tie the hostages to a big tree by the river and show them to the other side.
Next, what everyone needs to discuss is to grab three hands with three hands.
Continue to build the dam with one hand.
Second hand birch bark boat.
Erdaohe Village must have its own fleet within seven days.
Three-hand defensive array.
Xu Tianxin suddenly spoke: "We are short of manpower, so we will use quicklime and chili powder to make our own medicine packs. Burning and throwing them will make them unable to open their eyes immediately, and their eyes will be difficult to use for the next few days. "Hard to use" means that it requires See how close they are and how fast they wash.”
This is a homemade explosive pack used by our army in the past decades. Its smoking and burning smell is equivalent to that of a small chemical weapon.
"Chili noodles were not willing to be used on them, so they simply covered them with quicklime. When they were thrown over by the water, they would be scalded. After being scalded, the archers were arrayed. Whenever they took a step forward, they would dye their arrowheads with Grandpa Guan's golden juice. "
The villagers, Fourth Uncle and other grandfathers all turned stiffly to look at the little girl with curly bangs: "..."
Xu Tianxin looked back at everyone: "What, this is not enough? Then..."
Mrs. Xu grabbed her granddaughter and said, "That's enough."
