Chapter 12 Bamboo Thorn Spear
When they woke up in the morning, Su Mei and Xiaoman had no clothes to change on the island, and they were still wearing the shabby boatman's clothes, washing off the lamp ash on their faces. After all, Xiaoman is young and has not yet grown up, wearing old clothes that are two sizes older, and he looks very thin, like a handsome teenager; Su Mei's charming and unprovoked style can't be concealed by this dress, even if many teenagers know that she and Xiaoman are girls when they hear the voice, they see her coming out of the grass shed in the early morning, and look at her charming face in the morning light, and feel very dazzling.
"Ah, you're all up." Su Mei felt a little sleepy, and was about to raise her hand to yawn, when she saw Lin Lian and the young men standing in the open space in front of the grass shed staring at herself, Fu Qinghe didn't know where she went, she covered her red lips shyly, suppressed the yawn, and walked towards Lin Lian, wanting to ask where Fu Qinghe went, Lin Lian whispered to her and laughed: "It seems that you still have lamp ash on your face." ”
"Then you need to be able to find the lamp ash." Su Mei responded generously to Lin Bin's joke, and saw that there were more than a dozen bamboos with branches on the ground, and he didn't know where they cut them from, so he asked, "What are you doing with these bamboos?" Do you make a bamboo raft? ”
"Make a bamboo raft?" Lin Jian smiled and said, "That's really a huge project, I'm afraid that before we finish the bamboo raft, there will be officers and soldiers back." ”
A bamboo raft for 33 people to safely cross the sea of two or three hundred miles is really not a small project.
After Xiao Taoyuan got the ransom silver, he would send someone to kill these teenagers; He didn't kill him before, because he couldn't be sure that he could redeem the 30,000 taels of silver, maybe after the meat ticket family refused, he could send someone to cut off two ears and send it to the meat ticket family to intimidate.
"When will the officers and soldiers come?" Su Mei asked.
"The island's food stock is only enough to eat for half a month, and we should send a boat over at the latest for half a month," Lin Jian said, "Whether they can get the ransom money or not, they will be delayed on land for three or four days, and if we count the waterway journey, we will not be able to have a boat come in five or six days at the earliest, and we can still be here in these two days, and we will go into the forest in a few days...... Now do some preparations. ”
"Preparing these?" Su Mei looked at the bamboo on the ground in confusion.
"Ahh Xiao Man suddenly found an exclamation, only to see Xiao Man covering his mouth and running away, Su Mei was startled, thinking that something had happened, and turned his head to see that there were six corpses at the root of the wall of the grass shed, and they were almost stripped of a big pair of pants. Only then did he notice that the original clothes on the corpse were worn on the bodies of Chen Enze and other teenagers.
Hu Qiaozhong was short, wearing half-body leather armor to cover his buttocks and skirt, and he was tied with grass and rattan around his waist, which looked a little funny, and Chen Enze and the other five teenagers were slightly better than him, and they were not much better. Although these clothes were a little out of place for thin teenagers such as Chen Enze, they were more convenient and sturdy than the silk or cotton gowns they wore before.
Su Mei could understand why Lin Jian let them be like this, they couldn't go back to Chongzhou, they couldn't contact their families, and in order to survive, these teenagers still had to go through a lot of hardships. However, the six corpses were stripped naked and thrown at the foot of the wall, the wounds on the corpses were different, and there were most of the blood stains, which really tested her psychological endurance, she could only hold on for a few breaths, so she covered her mouth and ran to the side with Xiaoman to vomit.
Then they knew why many of the teenagers were standing there with pale faces.
Lin Jian dropped the broken knife in his hand, stood up and stretched, and looked up at the blue sea, where can he see such a clear and beautiful sea in the future? Although the material conditions are poorer, such a beautiful scenery can be regarded as compensation.
He saw Su Mei and Xiaoman's two daughters staring at him like strange people while vomiting, and laughed.
"How can you still laugh?" The second girl walked back with a pale face, her eyes did not dare to glance at the foot of the wall, and her tone was not to blame Lin Lian, but it was very strange, after all, just three or four days ago, the person in front of them was still a useless and cowardly scholar in their eyes.
"Everyone is the rest of their lives, if you don't laugh, do you still cry?" Lin Jian said.
Su Mei was right to think about it, but she didn't understand what Lin Jian was for the rest of his life, he could obviously abandon them.
"Hurry up and bury the body, it's scared to death by putting it there." Xiao Man clutched her chest, as if the mention of the word corpse made her feel uncomfortable.
"And useful." Lin Jian said.
Xiao Man didn't dare to ask what the use of these corpses was, and he always felt that Lin Lian's answer would make her run to the side and vomit again; Su Mei listened to some voices behind her, and looked over, Fu Qinghe took a few teenagers and dragged more than a dozen bamboos with branches and leaves back.
Lin Jian said, "It's almost enough," said to Hu Qiao, a young man, "You help Fu Ye pick up some coarse bamboos and erect six stakes and tie up the corpse......
Xiaoman couldn't stand it a little, but like Su Mei, he was full of curiosity about Lin Bin, and probably felt more secure to stay by Lin Bin's side, so he didn't pull out his feet and run back to the grass shed.
Fu Qinghe led a few teenagers to erect bamboo stakes, and Lin Jian sat on the ground and continued to peel the bamboo.
Su Mei saw that he took the broken knife and cut off the green hair bamboo tip with the thickness of the baby's arm, leaving only the seven or eight feet long trunk, the front of the bamboo pole was sharpened, like a sharp spear, and then the bamboo branch in the back section of the bamboo was cut off, and the front section of almost two feet long still retained dense bamboo branches, just a little repair, and the bamboo branches that were forked/opened in front of the head were sharpened into thorns, I really didn't understand what he was going to do, saying that it was a bamboo spear, but what did the fine bamboo branches on the front half of the bamboo pole keep to do?
Lin Jian made two weird bamboo guns, and then asked Chen Enze and other teenagers who were watching to also learn to do it, until Fu Qinghe erected bamboo stakes and tied up the six corpses, Lin Jian stopped and let all the teenagers surround him.
Su Mei and Xiaoman had to look at the naked corpse, but it was better than when they first met just now, at least they could not help running.
"Master Fu, are you coming?" Lin Jian said.
"Don't shirk," Fu Qinghe knew Lin Lian's intentions, and he also wanted to see how much ability the young man in front of him was hiding, so he waved his hand and said, "What is what I should do, I won't retreat." ”
Lin Jian walked up to the six bodies that had been tied up, pressed the waist knife tied around his waist, looked at the young men around him, and said, "I am not teaching you to be cruel, I am not teaching you to kill, but you must learn to protect yourself, your friends and family. You may think this is difficult, and you are eager to have such a good skill as Fu Ye. Yes, martial arts practice is one of the ways for the weak to defeat the strong, but martial arts is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, we must know that the most important thing to defeat the strong is to have the courage to challenge the strong - we need to have the courage to protect ourselves, our friends and family......"
The officers and soldiers will come over in half a month at the latest, five or six days at the earliest, twenty-nine thin young men between the ages of twelve and sixteen, and two delicate women, Lin Jian has been thinking about how he and Fu Qinghe can shelter and take care of everything? At extraordinary times, there is only an extraordinary method, at least let some of these teenagers grow up quickly, which can become a help for him and Fu Qinghe.
Lin Jian said slowly, Su Mei and Fu Qinghe stood behind the teenagers and listened to the moved, they didn't expect him to explain some truths so thoroughly.
Fu Qinghe had secretly observed Lin Bin's muscles and muscles before, and knew that he had never practiced martial arts, so he was very puzzled about his ability to have this body. He thought that in addition to taking these teenagers into the dense forest to hide, it was impossible to let these teenagers teach as a help in such a short period of time, but he didn't expect that the foundation of martial arts practice lies in the courage to dare to face it directly, thinking that it was really in vain to immerse himself in this way for all these years, but no layman could see it thoroughly.
"With the courage to defeat the strong, let's take a look at how strong these so-called strong are......" Lin Jian turned sideways and let the young men look directly at the corpses tied to the bamboo stakes, he pulled out his waist knife and pointed out the fatal wounds one by one, "Throat, choke or cut off, you can't breathe; Here, here, are the main blood of the human body, cut off, and the blood will be exhausted and he will die; The chest and abdomen are connected to the five internal organs and six spleens, and the piercing is death; After being hit by a heavy hammer, the viscera and spleen are out of place, which is also a heavy injury; Pierced or hit to the temples and killed...... No matter how strong these people may seem to you, they are in fact vulnerable, and each of you has the strength to give them such a deadly wound. If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if they are as solid as a stone here. ”
"He's a dead man, the living will hide, what if we can't cut it?" Hu Qiaoguan, a young man, was very courageous, and he followed Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe early in the morning to move the corpses in the forest back, without any fear.
"Sneaking behind the back, do you have the courage to slash him down as if he were a dead man?" Lin Jian handed the knife to the young man Hu Qiaoguan, "Try to sneak to the back and slash it, they are already dead people, and they can't bite you......"
Hu Qiaoguan was biting, his hand shrank back violently, and the other teenagers laughed; He gritted his teeth, took the knife from Lin Lian's hand, made a stealth appearance and walked around the back of the corpse, and raised the knife, although it was only a corpse, this knife could not be cut......
"Why don't you dare to cut it?" Lin Jian shouted, "Their officers and soldiers are thieves, they catch you and extort money from your family - if the matter is successful, they will kill you, and if they fail, they will harm your family, why don't you dare to cut it?" ”
The young man gave Lin Jian a break and a shout to dissipate the hesitation and fear in his heart, closed his eyes and slashed it indiscriminately, but one knife was cut on the bamboo stake, but no one laughed at him.
Chen Enze stood up and said, "I dare to cut." Walking over and taking the waist knife from Hu Qiaoguan's hand, he slashed the corpse's shoulder, and the dull sound of slashing the bones could be clearly heard.
Only then did Su Mei know why Lin Jian said that the six corpses were "still useful" in the early morning, thinking that he was really "cruel" to these teenagers, and he was also "cruel" as a last resort, and then looked at the corpses tied to the bamboo stake, it was not as unbearable as early morning.
Chen Enze's actions shook the youths, Hu Qiaoguan pulled the waist knife from the corpse's shoulder, and said loudly: "I dare to cut." As Lin Jian said just now, a knife stabbed at the waist and ribs of the corpse, and Hu Qiao and other teenagers also stood up and said loudly: "I dare to cut!" ”
Lin Jian waved his hand, he didn't want these teenagers to become perverts who abused corpses, he said to Chen Enze and the other teenagers: "There are a few bamboo guns there, and those who think they have the courage to cut people go and bring the bamboo guns to ......."
Watching the young people scramble to get the bamboo guns, Fu Qinghe sighed softly: "Practicing martial arts may not make the weak stronger, but courage can make the weak not weak." "In the past, it only took three or five people to keep this group of teenagers under their guard, and there was no need to worry that they would resist without even tying them up, just like at the beginning when four guards chased them into the dense forest, leaving only one to guard them; If there is only one person left to guard them now, I am afraid that they will be torn alive.
The young men came over with bamboo guns, Lin Jian asked the eight teenagers with bamboo guns to stand in front, he said: "Have the courage to defeat the strong, and then you need the skills to defeat the strong, martial arts practice is not something that can be achieved overnight, when we have no one to deal with the enemy, we must remember that we still have partners around us - even ordinary soldiers, as long as they are well-trained, well-trained, and have the right weapons, twenty-nine people are enough to knock out any martial arts master...... I don't believe you ask Master Fu. ”
Fu Qinghe smiled bitterly: "That's true, it's hard to beat four fists with both hands...... No matter how clever a martial arts practitioner is, once he has to deal with multiple opponents, he must also pay attention to the strategy of splitting and attacking them. He also wondered why the bamboo spear that Lin had tied up with the bamboo branch at the front end.
Lin Jian came over with a bamboo spear, flat in front of him, and explained: "Everyone has not practiced martial arts, and when facing the enemy, they do not have enough skills to protect themselves and their companions - this bamboo gun looks weird, we can know that the bamboo branches at the front end are dense and tough, covering more than onebody, and it is difficult for the enemy's sword to cut the tough bamboo branches, and the spear cannot pierce it, and there are four or five bamboo guns, which can block the enemy from the periphery and cannot get close...... You work in groups of four, each with a corpse as an enemy, and I teach you to practice blocking assassinations. ”
Fu Qinghe listened to Lin Bin's explanation, only then did he know the benefits of keeping bamboo branches on the head of the bamboo gun, he picked up an untreated bamboo, pulled out a knife and tried it, and found that unless the chopping was very powerful and fast, it was difficult to cut off the soft branches; The bamboo layer is deep and dense, and it can even resist the penetration of the spear, the key is that for the novice who is on the verge of fighting for the first time, the bamboo branches are lush, can cover the body, can promote courage, and watched Lin Tie come to the back, and couldn't help but admire: "It's wonderful, how could you think that bamboo can be so wonderful?" ”
"It's just whimsical," Lin Jian said, "There are only seven or eight weapons that are superfluous, and besides, they were teenagers studying in the study hall seven days ago, how can those weapons be used?" I thought that the bamboo spear was simpler, and the bamboo on this island was good, the pole was solid, and the branches were soft and tough, and the bamboo in other places was only afraid that it would not work. ”
"Bamboo spear," Fu Qinghe asked, "This weapon is called a bamboo spear." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jian could only nod and say yes, and he couldn't tell Fu Qinghe that the real scientific name of the bamboo stabbing spear was Wolf Tree.
Wenchen leading the army is also a long-standing tradition in this dynasty, although the previous Lin Tie was a scholar who stayed at home, and also read a few military books with the trend, Lin Tie still has some understanding of the art of war and weapons at this time, and the simple and easy-to-use, simple and simple wolf is not yet available at this time.
The production of the bamboo stabbing gun is simple, as long as you have read the introduction, you can remember, but the technical attack method of the bamboo stabbing gun, Lin Jian really doesn't know, he can only teach the teenagers to practice the bamboo stabbing gun to practice the three simple actions of stabbing, blocking and forking; Time is limited, and there is only enough time to teach some simple bamboo spear techniques.
Lin Jian is proficient in short-term hand-to-hand combat, as long as he trains for a period of time, and when his physical fitness rises to a certain level, he is confident and undefeated in fighting with Fu Qinghe with a dagger, but he is blind to medium-long weapons, and in the era of rampant firearms, even if special scouts go out on missions, who will use medium-long weapons?
Fu Qinghe is a good hand, took a bamboo spear, waved it a few times adaptively, and made many actions such as blocking, taking, picking, holding, racking, forking, structuring, hanging, winding, shoveling, boring and so on.
Lin Jian watched from the side, thinking that Fu Qinghe should be proficient in spearmanship, and then thinking of his exaggerated archery skills, thinking that he was a soldier before? Why did he later go to Jiangning to open a martial arts hall, and after the martial arts hall was broken, he came to Sumei as a bodyguard? Everyone has secrets hidden in them, Fu Qinghe doesn't take the initiative to say it, and Lin Jian naturally won't ask.
