A knife in love

Chapter 1658

Hearing shopkeeper Yin and Qi Jiu mention the word "grain", shopkeeper Song slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I put a lot of ham and dry food in the cabin, I wonder if it's broken or not."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the cabin, and got into the cabin, busy checking his things.Shopkeeper Hu and others remembered that the goods they put in the boat had been taken away by Japanese pirates, so they also turned around and ran towards the cabin.After arriving, Xiao Dong also bowed his hands to Li Qiufeng, and walked quickly into the cabin.

After a while, Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others left cleanly, and even Qin Laowu ordered two boatmen to go to the bilge to check the goods.Only Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu, father and daughter of the Wang family, Qin Laowu and a boatman remained on the deck.Li Qiufeng whispered a few words to Murong Danyan before walking up to Qin Lao Wu, and said, "Qin Wu brother, you are an experienced sailor, if we want to escape from here, we still have to rely on you. Let's see, where will the entrance and exit of the waterway be?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng admired him so much, Qin Laowu was quite proud.After a few words of humility, he pointed to the water pool and said to Li Qiufeng: "The little brother surnamed Qi is right. This stone cave must have a waterway connected to the wharf, and the size of the waterway is not small. But if the two are more The waterways are interconnected, so there should be flowing water. But please look, Lord Li, the surface of this pool is as flat as a mirror, like a pool of stagnant water, with no water flowing in and out, isn’t it extremely weird?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and said to Qin Laowu: "I'm ashamed to say, Li has little knowledge and doesn't know how to sail a boat at all. Qin Wu brother said these words, Li I don't understand it at all, I hope Fifth Brother Qin will explain it in detail."

Qin Laowu smiled and said: "Master Li is too modest, but the villain didn't explain it clearly. What the villain means is that this cave is connected to the wharf, and there must be water flowing between the two, so the pool here It should be running water, not even a little wave. The villain guessed that the Japanese pirates built a dam and closed the waterway on weekdays, making this pool a stagnant water. Only after they robbed the boat, would the dam be opened, making it the same as the There is water flowing between the piers, and boats can drive here from the piers. After the boats are hidden, the Japanese pirates will block the dam again, isolating this place from the piers, and the waterway will become dry. In this way, even if Some people searched around the pier, but they couldn't find the location of the waterway..."

When Qin Laowu said this, Li Qiufeng's heart moved, as if he had thought of something important.It's just that he carefully deduced what it was, but he couldn't remember it, and he couldn't help but secretly worried.Qin Lao Wu continued: "If we can find the location of the dam, we will be able to find the waterway leading to the dock. As long as we open the dam, we can go straight to the dock in a big boat and escape from this cave."

Li Qiufeng understood what he heard, so he nodded.It's just that he was about to speak, but Qi Jiu interjected: "The boatman is very reasonable. Qi also wants to say one more thing. After the dam is opened, the water should flow from this cave to the dock."

Hearing Qi Jiu's words, Qin Lao Wu was taken aback, and said: "Little brother, what is the basis for saying so?"

Qi Jiu said in a deep voice: "Qi has tasted the water in the pool, and it is not salty water. And there are such huge crocodiles in the water, I think they have lived in this cave for a long time. If sea water flows into the pool, the water here must have Even crocodiles cannot grow here because of the salty taste. Therefore, Qi concluded that this place must be upstream of the waterway compared to the pier."

Hearing what Qi Jiu said, Li Qiufeng secretly admired him, thinking that although brother Qi was a few years younger than me, he was quick-witted and his knowledge was even better than mine.In time, he will surely become a remarkable figure.

Qin Laowu thought for a moment, then patted his thigh and said, "Little brother is right. I never thought you would have such insight at such a young age. It's really admirable."

Qi Jiu shook his head, and said: "Don't dare. The boatman is proficient in sailing. If he can join the Daming Navy and contribute to the imperial court, he will definitely make great achievements. Qi is not talented and works in the Dengzhou Guard. If the boatman wants to , Qi can take you to see the commander of the Dengzhou Weishui Army, it is not difficult to find an official position in the army."

Qin Laowu laughed, and said in his mouth: "I appreciate the kindness of the little brother. To be honest, I served in the army more than 20 years ago. It's just that all the officials in the military camp, big and small, are despicable and shameless. It can be said that they are No official, no corruption. We little soldiers worked so hard, we could only serve as stepping stones for these filthy officials to get promoted. After death, there was no one to collect the corpse. How could I re-enter the tiger's mouth when I left the barracks at my own risk? The little brother is very knowledgeable , the martial arts are also very good, and the words and actions are extremely proper. One can tell at a glance that he is from a family of military officers. He will flourish in the future and his future is limitless. However, the little brother is young after all, and I am afraid that he does not know much about those dirty things in the military camp. I am a person who has been here, and I want to remind you a few words. When a soldier eats food, he is not afraid of going to battle. He is most afraid that the superiors will deal with things unfairly on weekdays, which will cool the hearts of the soldiers. At this time, you must remember the words Lian Shengming and Gong Shengwei. I hope that I can live to see the day when my little brother leads the army and his name shakes the world."

Qi Jiu heard Qin Laowu's sincerity, and was moved in his heart. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I am very grateful."

Li Qiufeng was thinking again.Just now when Qin Laowu and Qi Jiu were talking, Li Qiufeng always felt that there was something vaguely appearing in his heart, but every time he carefully thought about what it was, he couldn't remember it.And the more he wanted to remember what it was, the more blurred his mind became.In the end, he only felt a splitting headache and didn't dare to think about it, so he stopped his mind.Hearing Qi Jiu and Qin Lao Wu complimenting each other, Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "This brother Qi is really amazing, Brother Qin needs to get closer to him."

Murong Danyan has been silent for a long time, seeing that Li Qiufeng and Qin Laowu both admire Qi Jiu very much, and was about to have a joke with Wang Xiaoyu, but saw that Wang Xiaoyu had been guarding Wang Zhuangzhu's side all the time, with an expression on his face Haggard, feeling sad for a while, couldn't help walking to Wang Xiaoyu, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry too much. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with others, and you will burn yourself out first, then you will lose your health." It's not worth it anymore."

Wang Xiaoyu saw that the owner of Wang Zhuang was seriously injured, and felt sad. Hearing Murong Danyan's words of comfort, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself that sister Murong's words were very inappropriate.What do you mean by "others don't have anything to do, if you burn yourself out first, it's not worth it"?It was my father who was injured, how could it be someone else?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu looked up at Murong Danyan.I saw Murong Danyan's face was pale, his eyes were wandering, it seemed that he wanted to say a lot to himself, but he couldn't speak it out.Wang Xiaoyu was startled, thinking that although Sister Murong has only known me for more than a month, she has a bold personality and treats me like a real sister.Why is she looking so weird at this time, she seems to be hiding something from me, what's going on?
