Chapter 505
Hu Le felt relaxed, but at the same time, he didn't know whether the arrangement on Hudou Island was safe or not, so he withdrew all the oarsmen to the shore under the guise of scarcity of fresh water.
While trembling with fear, the boat got closer and closer to Hudouzhou, where there were many sandbars, and sailing became more difficult. Hu Le lowered half of the sail, went upstream from the shallow and rapid river, and finally approached the sighted It looks like a rather dilapidated small ferry.The boat moored to the ferry, Hu Le lowered the cable, and his own sailors went down to fasten it. Although there were boats coming and going, most of them were people from Lianhuadu, so maybe the rescue would be too late.
Besides, Hou Jing is notorious, how many people dare to come?
Hu Le couldn't help chanting "Ming Zun merciful father", while chanting, he hoped that Lu Kanglong would come to save his life.
He jumped out of the boat and led the men to fetch water from the shore.He deliberately went around the mountain a few times, Yang Kun and several Jie people followed him, one of them got impatient, kicked him to the ground suddenly, drew his knife and pointed at him and yelled loudly.
Hu Le naturally didn't understand, so he had to hold his head and shout for mercy.Yang Kun said: "He told you to hurry up, don't go around in circles."
Hu Le smiled and said: "It's not that I'm going around in circles. I haven't been here for a long time, and I almost forgot how to get there. Jun Ye, don't cut off my head, tell me to think about it."
Yang Kun talked to the tall and strong Jie man, and the man put away his knife, pointed to the mountain and asked Hu Le: "Is that it?"
Hu Le was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was also speaking in Chinese, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's up there."
The man said "OK" and reached out to catch Hule.Although Hu Le's martial arts were not weak, he didn't dare to hide. Someone grabbed his arm and carried him up the mountain.He just felt the world spinning, as if flying through the clouds, and suddenly he was thrown to the ground again.
When Jie Bing saw a water source, he asked Hu Le to go up and take a sip. Hu Le walked over slowly, and couldn't help but meditate in his heart: Mingzun, merciful father, all heroes of Lianhuadu, don't try to save trouble by poisoning the water.
The water on the boat was completely undrinkable, and he had been exposed to the sun for a whole day but had no water to drink. The spring water was so sweet that Hule couldn’t stop after taking a sip. Feeling more thirsty, they also knelt down and drank their fill, then took out the leather water bag to fill it up, and went down the mountain with Hule.
The Jie people from far away began to greet each other, but Hu Le felt that something was wrong, and ran wildly, shouting: "My boat! What's wrong with my boat! What's wrong with my boat?"
He caught a Jie man for questioning, but the man couldn't understand, so he also babbled at him, and the two of them talked with each other, and Hule left him, and saw people keep going down the boat. None of the sailors came up, and they became more flustered. They jumped onto the boat, grabbed an interpreter and asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with my boat?"
The man spoke rough Chinese and stammered to him, "The boat! The boat has sunk!"
"Damn, how did you do it?!" The man naturally didn't know, he left him and ran to the bottom of the cabin, only to hear A Lan directing a few sailors to walk up and down in the waist-deep water.He shouted, "Alan, what happened?!"
Ah Lan replied in the local dialect of the water village: "The boat was gouged through! I don't know who did it! There are several big holes!"
"Can it be blocked!"
"I can't seem to block it!"
While speaking, I heard the sound of the ship's wall, and after a while, I heard the sound of cracking. A water ghost came in and said only: "The owner of the water boat, our master is coming, just listen to Jiegou, don't send him away." Die!"
Hu Le immediately cursed: "I really appreciate you being the masters!"
The water ghost got out, but the sound outside was not quite right. The angry howls of the Jie soldiers suddenly sounded, and Hu Le ordered: "Don't block it! Abandon the ship!"
When the sailors heard this, they all ran out immediately.
He ran off the boat angrily, didn't bother to apologize when he saw Hou Jing, and said sullenly, "That's good! My boat, my boat, my boat was bought with borrowed money!"
Hou Jing's face trembled, and he said with a sinister smile: "Boatman, I'm afraid...is this a trap?"
Hu Le said angrily: "Will I use my own boat as a trap? Do you know, do you know how much this boat costs!"
"Money...I'll give it to you—" He slowly withdrew his thumb from his hand, "How about buying two boats for you?"
Hu Le looked over, his eyes straightened, these gemstones from outside the Great Wall are priceless, although he and Lu Kanglong have seen some occasionally, but he has never seen such a big one, he is reaching out to pick it up, Hou But Jing pinched it, "Boatman, if you want it, of course you can, but you also have to have life flowers? This boat... have you repaired it well?"
Hu Le saw that the hands of the soldiers on his left and right were all on the handle of the knife. Obviously, just waiting for him to say that he couldn't repair it well, he was going to kill him with one knife. "Well done, well done, as long as the ship doesn't sink..."
Hou Jing pointed behind him and said, "Why do I feel that... it's about to sink?"
Hu Le shook his head and said: "No, no, the water here is shallow, and it can be repaired, it can be repaired...just..."
Hou Jing suddenly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes flashed away, Hu Le shuddered and said: "We don't have a few axes and not much strength to cut wood and firewood..."
Hou Jing turned around to greet him, and several people stood in front of Hou Jing and shouted loudly.Hu Le was startled, and moved a few steps to the side, but Hou Jing said: "Here are ten people for you to use, what do you want to do, they will help you... Boatman, don't play tricks."
Hu Le shook his head like a rattle, patted his chest and said, "Absolutely not, General, don't worry!"
Hou Jingting nodded. Someone had already set up a tent in front of the pier, and someone lit a fire. The small mounds on the main roads into the mountain and forest were also guarded separately. A decent camp has been created.
Hu Le sighed, he had seen many Liang troops, most of them had loose discipline, and never had Jie soldiers in such a clean and neat formation, which one was better and which one was worse, the judgment was made.
He first asked the Jie soldiers to cut down the trees and cut them into logs, then tied them with big rocks and sank them into the water, and then dragged them with ropes to make the logs under the keel so that the hull of the boat would not be completely submerged in the sand.
Unexpectedly, the sand here was soft, and the log was completely submerged in the mud before long, and even the hull of the ship tilted slightly, as if sinking a little, so he had to ask these strange soldiers to sink the rock into the water again, and use it as a foundation to build the new round Go up the wooden frame.
He ordered someone to chop eight logs and pushed countless boulders, and it was already midnight after the tossing was over.Most of the Jie soldiers were seasick and couldn't hold on for many days on the boat. It was purely because of Hou Jing's order that they restrained themselves. Now they are at the end of their strength when they step on land.
Hu Le was secretly anxious, thinking that if the people from Lianhuadu came to make a surprise attack at this time, they would definitely kill most of them, but why didn't they come?
He has been running around the big rivers for a long time, and he has heard a lot about the deeds of the leaders of Lianhuadu. Everyone on the river regards their martial arts as the best in the world.Hu Le has seen the ghostly martial arts of Yinsuo and other Mingjiao disciples. Although he will not easily believe how powerful other people's martial arts are, but with everyone singing like this, Lianhuadu must have some amazing skills. Don't use it at this time, why not waste?He didn't know that the people at Lianhuadu were still patrolling the open sea.Although Hule's water-character flag was seen by eyeliners, it took time to spread the news, and it still took time to drive back. Hudouzhou is a pure land, and most of the people on the island are old, young, women and children. I heard that Jielang Houjing came here , all panicked, most of the people had left by boat, and the remaining young and middle-aged martial arts were not particularly superb, and without the leadership of an expert, they naturally couldn't attack by force, so they could only use some extraordinary means such as chiseling boats to delay time and wait for reinforcements from the sea .
Hu Le didn't know how he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he heard commotion outside.He climbed out to find out what happened, but before he took two steps, he was grabbed by a tall Jie soldier and brought him to Hou Jing.
The surroundings had returned to silence again, and Hou Jing's dark eyes reflected light from time to time.He asked gloomyly, "Boatman, how long will it take for you to fix the boat?"
Hu Le thought for a while, and said: "If it was in the shipyard, it would only take one day to repair it, but there is nothing here. The wood has to be chopped down and planed, nails are needed, and animals have to be caught to boil bone glue..."
"Can... use human bones?" Hou Jing suddenly asked, Hu Le felt a chill running down his spine to his head, his scalp was numb, and his hair stood on end. He opened his mouth in fright but couldn't speak. Come on.
"No, no, can't...Human bones have more oil and less glue, wolf bones are the most suitable, but they are rarely seen, deer bones and fish bones are fine."
"how long?"
"I... I... need three to five days..."
Hou Jing walked up to him slowly, leaning on a sheathed knife, and asked slowly, "Three days, or five days?"
"Four, four, four... days."
Hou Jing suddenly yelled, and then gave a series of orders. The Jie soldiers became agitated, as if they were in a mess, and then gradually became orderly, and they all returned to their posts.
The sky gradually dawned, and the camp was in order. The Jie soldiers cut down many trees, but most of them were planted outside the camp to make wooden fences.He asked Yang Kun, only to find out that two scouts sent out last night died.Now that one of Hou Jing's soldiers is missing one by one, he is very distressed, and it is certain that someone on the island will be against him.His subordinates thought that Hu Le was an internal response, and almost killed him while he was sleeping. Fortunately, Yang Kun said something nice from the side, and the Jie soldiers who were spying on him didn't see any clues, so they told him to stay Head on the item.
Hu Le heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that luckily he didn't ask me to pick up the water flag.
During the day, he was captured to do hard labor, secretly observing the movement of these Jie soldiers, guessing that Hou Jing was very afraid that someone would attack now, and he secretly scolded the people at Lianhuadu for being cowardly and fearful.
If it was the King of Shadows, I'm afraid he would have already taken the head of Master Hou Jingxiang!
