As the saying goes, the water is abundant and the grass is lush. A place with abundant water must be lush with vegetation, Tongzhou (Nantong) is such a place, a large area of grass can be seen everywhere on the alluvial plain covered with a dense river network, and all kinds of aquatic plants and reeds can grow to nearly a foot high, providing a rich habitat for wild birds and birds, and it is also a good place for Jiangyang thieves to hide and hide.

The grass was quiet in the morning, and yesterday when the rain stopped, all the reeds were wet, and the long leaves had jagged burrs that could cut through the skin if you weren't careful.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

With the slight sound of water as the oars struck, a fleet of boats moved silently through the reeds, with five hundred battalions of men armed with flintlock pistols scanning the dense reeds around them vigilantly, while the recruits held the boats.

This is a team of two hundred people, composed of a hundred veterans equipped with flintlock pistols and a hundred recruits, led by Xie Erjian, this time, Xie Sangun, this kid also came, sitting on the bow of the last boat, a pair of clever tiger eyes and bones looking around.

The terrain and environment here are similar to the water system of Poyang Lake, Xie Sangun this kid is like a fish in water when he comes here, at this time two grass chickens, a green-haired turtle, and two black-backed grass carp have been thrown into the cabin of the small fishing boat, all of which were caught on the road.

Cuckoo......

A frightened pheasant sprang out of its nest and flew up a tall reed to examine the uninvited visitor who had intruded into its territory.

Before the beautiful pheasant could take a second look, he was struck in the head by a stone that broke through the air, and he was planted on the spot, and plunged into the mud under the roots of the reeds.

"The three-gun brother has a slingshot." The recruit who was in charge of the paddle sighed in admiration as he rowed the boat over.

Xie Sangun triumphantly put away the slingshot, and the probe lifted the pheasant with its head stuck in the mud and threw it into the cabin, and at this moment, a green-backed king swam by quickly, paddling its limbs and sinking to the bottom.

Xie Sangun, this kid hurriedly plunged into the water to chase the king, Xie Erjian couldn't help but have a dark face when he saw this, and without saying a word, he picked up the oars and propped the boat over, and the other soldiers all looked at it with a playful expression, ready to watch a good show of "fratricide".

Xie Sangun, this kid has been shooting birds, fishing, and chickens along the way, and now he is also going into the water to catch Wang Ba, and he dares to come with this time just to hunt game, which is too much, and he deserves to be beaten by the boss.

"Wowhaha, got ...... Depend on! Xie Sangun came out of the water with a bang, raised a four-legged green-skinned king eight with both hands and laughed proudly, only to have an oar slap down on the head.

Xie Sangun and the Wang Bashen in his hand shrank their heads in sync and quickly sank into the water.

Boom......

The oars slapped violently on the water, and in an instant, the water splashed, and the water splashed down, and Xie Sangun, the kid, came out again under the water half a meter away, and grabbed the Wang Ba in his hand.

Xie Erjian slapped down with another oar, and Xie Sangun shrank under the water again, bangbangbang...... The two brothers were like playing a game of whack-a-mole, dazzling all the soldiers.

Boom......

Xie Sangun finally couldn't dodge a paddle, and he sank into the water for a long time without seeing his head, and all the soldiers looked at the water with bright eyes, and secretly thought in their hearts: "This kid won't be shot to death, it's broken." ”

After five minutes, there was still no movement on the water, and a soldier couldn't help but say bitterly: "Boss Xie, do you want your subordinates to go down and fish?" ”

"No need!" Xie Ergun said lightly, the oar just now seemed to be mighty, but he still reserved a sense of proportion, just wanted to teach the kid Sangun a lesson, he shouldn't have knocked people out, not to mention that this kid was ghostly and put Wang Ba on top of his head.

After another moment, Xie Sanjian still didn't come out of the water, and at this time, Xie Erjian was a little uncalm, even if he was in the water, he could only barely hold his breath for so long.

Just as Xie Erjian was about to jump into the water, a large number of bubbles suddenly bubbled up on the surface of the water, and a head popped out on the side of the boat, and it was the kid Xie Sangun.

Xie Erjian was angry, and he wanted to slap him again, but when he saw his younger brother's face turning purple, he opened his mouth wide and gasped, but he still held back, and as soon as he bent down, he lifted the kid onto the boat and threw him into the cabin like a dead dog.

Xie Sangun, this kid is still holding the green-skinned Wang Ba in his hand, but the Wang Ba is lying on his stomach on his four feet, his neck is falling down, and he is estimated to have hung up, I don't know if he was strangled to death by Xie Sangun, or Xie Erjian was killed by the oar just now.

Xie Erjian said with a dark face: "Hold it, why don't you continue to hold it, isn't it very good?" ”

Xie Sangun had already calmed down at this time, and said with a smile: "Don't hold it back, if you hold it back, you will become the eighth king, everyone is a brother, the blood is connected, how embarrassed to involve the second brother, you will also become the eighth king." ”

A group of big-headed soldiers couldn't help laughing, Xie Erjian usually always looked like a Lai Yangyang, who didn't care about anything, but he couldn't do anything about his younger brother, he was like this from childhood to adulthood, and said with a black face: "Okay, this boat is for you, if you like to catch fish, catch fish, catch Wang Ba if you love to catch Wang Ba, catch Wang Ba if you have caught enough, go back to your brother-in-law, don't be an eyesore here, your uncle!" ”

After Xie Erjian finished speaking, he jumped onto another fishing boat next to him, Xie Sangun's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Second brother, do you really want to drive me back?" ”

Xie Erjian didn't thank the three guns again, waved his hand to signal the fleet to continue to search, and a soldier said with a smile: "Brother Sangun, catch more Wang Ba pheasant chicken or something, boil the soup and wait for the brothers to come back to celebrate, and then the brother will give you a sword to show off." ”

Xie Sangun pouted and said: "Cut, you can find the thief without the master, dream, hehe, do you know what the master touched under the water just now?" ”

Xie Erjian couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly gestured to signal the fleet to stop, and then plunged into the water, and it took several minutes before he came out of the water and quickly flipped onto the boat.

Xie Sangun said triumphantly: "What's the matter, Xie Yishi, the master has made a great contribution this time!" ”

Xie Erjian looked weird, nodded and said, "This time I really let your kid make meritorious contributions." ”

"Boss Xie, what the hell is going on under the water?" One of the soldiers couldn't help but ask.

Xie Erjian said in a low voice: "Boat, there are seven or eight bow boats buried in the underwater mud, and it is estimated that there are more buried in this vicinity." ”

The soldier couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Straight mother thief, these thieves are really fucking cunning, dare to sink the boat under the water, if it weren't for the three shots to go down to the river to catch Wang Ba, the ghost would have found out!" ”

Xie Erjian gave a thumbs up and sighed lightly, jumped lightly, jumped onto the canopy of a fishing boat, looked around over the tall reeds, and quickly locked on a small hill to the north of Caodang.

"Let's go, keep going!" Xie Erjian jumped down from the canopy and commanded decisively.

So the fleet continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and at this time, on the small hillside, two people were looking sneakily at the grass swing below, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the fleet sail out of the grass swing and leave.
