In July, the fire flowed, at the end of the month, the hot summer gradually passed, the breeze was cool and cool at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Lin Jian stood on the deck and looked into the distance, and there was a clear and clear outer arc in the sea in the distance.

"That clear and clear line is the boundary between the river and the sea, and after crossing that line, we will enter the Yangtze River," Lin Jian pointed to that side, laughing with the people around him, and said to Ning Zechen, who was staring at the sea with his eyes, "If you don't believe it, you can taste the water here, it's salty; After waiting for that line, you can pick up the water and taste it again to see if it is still salty? ”

Ning Zechen's lips twitched, and he smiled. Although he believed what Lin Jian said, he still took a rope and fell into the sea water and licked the rope head, which was bitter and astringent, making him frown, Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, and Li Shuyi all laughed, he waited for the boat to sail into the muddy water area, and seriously took the other end of the rope and fell into the water to taste the saltiness, and said: "It's really light......"

Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, Ning Zechen is a person who believes in other people's words and will verify them if he has the opportunity.

Ning Zechen's body bones didn't show how strong he was, and he was even a little thin, his face was thin and white, but the strength of his arms was great.

When Lin Lianchu was in Xisha Island for disaster relief, Ning Zechen was selected with other young people to do odd jobs. Once a ship came to transport timber, Ning Zechen participated in the royal goods, Lin Jian saw him carrying a log with others to go ashore, others were strong, he was thin, but the thick end of the tree root was pressed on his shoulder.

Lin Jian only bullied him as someone else, and also called that person to reprimand him, and after listening to their explanation, he knew that Ning Zechen was born with great strength, and took the initiative to press the thick end of the root on his shoulder.

Lin Tie wanted to test how strong he was at that time, and he was allowed to do the work of two people and also eat the fixed grain of two people, Ning Zechen carried the wood alone that day, and two or three hundred pounds of wood were carried ashore from the boat and then carried to the construction site for two miles, and he ran back and forth more than 20 times without difficulty.

Lin Jian has been practicing martial arts for nearly a year to strengthen his body and bones, and he thinks that he may not have such abundant physical strength, and the strength of his arms is also very great, thinking that if Ning Zechen is practicing martial arts, he should be a brave general at the level of Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu, and Fu Qinghe.

Lin Jian was not in a hurry to keep him by his side at that time, and there were many extra things in the early days of the disaster relief on Xisha Island, but Ning Zechen and many victims bravely participated.

Ning Zechen was a native of Fengli County, Zhongzhou, at the age of 23, and was not married. Before the storm on Xisha Island, he had a brother and aunt, two young nephews and a widowed mother in her fifties who fled to Xisha Island, and when the tide returned, he only had time to rescue his young sister-in-law and a nephew who was only two years old.

Ning Zechen's brother had studied for a few years and ran through the rivers and lakes with the Shang Gang, with great strength, rough fists and feet, and chivalrous and righteous, and on the way to escape the famine, he became the leader of the Feng Lijia people. After the typhoon, Xisha Island was in chaos, and Ning Zechen searched for his brother and nephew all over the island for two days, but he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, so he came back and went directly to the disaster relief camp to sign up for miscellaneous labor relief.

The living conditions in the world are quite bad, and the displaced people are even more difficult, and it is the norm for fellow villagers to help each other, and it also forms a strong cohesion.

It's just that Ning Zechen stubbornly thinks that his brother and he brought more than 10,000 Feng Liren to Xisha Island, and more than 10,000 Feng Liren died in the typhoon.

Lin Jian came out this time to officially keep Ning Zechen by his side, and taught him the slashing technique in his spare time on the ship, and he also learned it very quickly. When the ship left Xisha Island in Chongzhou, many of the old soldiers in Wuweili were not as strong as Ning Zechen, but they had rich combat experience, and they could easily take Ning Zechen down with wooden knives or practice guns, but when they returned to Chongzhou and went to sea from the southeast of Jiahang Mansion, most of the old soldiers were no longer Ning Zechen's opponents.

Ning Zechen not only has great strength and talent for martial arts, but he is also a person who is willing to use his brains in many homeless people, and after studying in private school for a few years, Lin Lian thought that in time, maybe another Fu Qinghe would be born. In addition to teaching him the art of splitting and participating in tactical trainings that ordinary veterans would attend, Lin Jian also asked him to read more military books in his spare time.

In addition to Ning Zechen's own unpretentious piece of jade, Lin Jian also considered that there were more than 26,000 surviving displaced people on Xisha Island, of which nearly 5,000 were from Feng's hometown.

Lin Jian looked at the sand bars in the sunset in the western sky, and couldn't tell whether there was a shadow of Xisha Island, and looked up at the sails blowing for the wind, thinking that as long as the wind was strong tonight and the moonlight could make them barely distinguish the sand islands and waterways in the middle of the river, they would be able to reach Xisha Island early tomorrow morning.

Before Lin Tie and them went to sea, the Ninghai Town Sailor had been passively avoiding the battle in Taihu Lake, and did not fight with the main force of the East China Sea Kou who had gathered, which caused the East China Sea Kou to become more and more arrogant, so that more and more East China Sea Kou warships poured into Taihu Lake, and the coastal prefectures and counties were deeply affected.

Although the cavalry infantry of Ninghai Town and the local townships that have been fighting against the pirates for a long time have strong combat effectiveness, and they also actively dispatched to find and destroy the pirates, but the East China Sea Bandits invaded like the wind, and they took warships to shuttle through the Taihu Lake basin where the water network was crisscrossed.

Lin Tie and they have been out to sea for two days, and he will not know the latest news about Taihu Lake until tomorrow morning at the earliest, Lin Tie is a little worried, if the East China Sea Kou ends this raid, what if he returns from the Yangtze River waterway?

Lin Jian set up an ambush at the mouth of Meixi Lake to intercept and kill Du Rong, and then attacked Shujiazhai, so he guessed that the Donghai Kou who attacked Anji County was targeting the sailors of Ninghai Town and would not stay in Anji County. For the luxury family, Du Rong as a member of the general to the Meixi Lake, the luxury family can see the strategic significance of Xisha Island, and the luxury family is very likely to make a part of the East China Sea invaders from the Yangtze River estuary to raid Xisha Island casually.

Before Lin Jian went to sea in the southeast of Jiahang Mansion, he asked Wu Qi to sneak back to Xisha Island by land, and asked Fu Qinghe, Lin Mengde, Zhou Pu, Hu Zhiyong and others to evacuate most of the victims from the Guanyintan disaster relief camp to other places first, and at the same time transfer rice and grain and other materials to the central area of Xisha Island, which is not easy to be plundered.

At this time, Lin Jian didn't know if Zhao Hu could successfully take the new military soldiers away from Prison Island after receiving the report, after all, he was not in Jiangning, and it was unknown whether Yang Shi and Changsun Geng would try to stop Zhao Hu.

Lin Jian was secretly worried: If the Ninghai Town Naval Division suffered heavy losses in Taihu Lake, and when the Donghai Kou crossed the border from Chongzhou South, Xiao Baiming and Chen Qianhu's troops in the Junshan Fortress would most likely stand still and preserve their strength, as long as the Donghai Kou who landed on Xisha Island exceeded 1,000 people, this trouble would not be ordinary.

Li Shuyi, the secretary of the Chongzhou County Household Office, saw that Lin Jian was still talking and laughing just now, and frowned again at this time, unable to guess what he was worried about.

Li Shuyi is a Xiucai from Chongzhou, who has studied hard since he was a child, perhaps because he studied too hard and was only for fame, but as a native of Chongzhou, he has never seen the sea, let alone this clear and turbid wildline between the river and the sea.

People stand on the boat, the boat travels on the sea, the four fields are vast, and suddenly there is a feeling that people are between heaven and earth.

Compared with the rejection and disgust of pulling Lin Tie on the boat at the beginning, after getting along for more than a month, especially after experiencing the ambush at the mouth of Meixi Lake to intercept and kill Kou Dian and the attack on Shejiazhai, Li Shuyi realized that Lin Tie was by no means an incompetent and rampant swineherd who did not know world affairs, did not know books, and only knew about pig raising as slandered by Qingliu's mouth. In the past month, although there have not been many exchanges, if you don't think about the arrogance on Lin Lian's face when he first met, Li Shuyi thinks that his knowledge, knowledge, and opinions, his Yunwen Yunwu, wisdom and bravery, there are really few people in the world who can match.

Some people are stubborn, but some people can learn from others to re-understand themselves, and it is also the experience of traveling with Lin Tie for more than a month that has opened Li Shuyi's eyes, and his heart is tired of those Qing fashion paths that only chant the wind and the moon, talk about the past and the present, and play prostitutes and playthings, and can't help but think: Donghai Kou plundered the county, burned and plundered, and the Qingliu people could do nothing but hide in the bed and shiver behind the gate? He also realized that such a dilapidated society can only turn the tide when a strong figure like Lin Jian emerges.

Of course, Li Shuyi is aware of this change in his mind, and Lin Jian can also feel that compared to the rustiness when he left Xisha Island in Chongzhou, Lin Jian asked Li Shuyi to take a boat with him at this time, and talked with Ao Canghai, Ning Zechen, Ge Cunxin and others about the way of military training and the art of attacking, and did not avoid Li Shuyi, and even discussed with Li Shuyi how to deal with the harsh environment of Xisha Island.

Li Shuyi was ashamed, he only hated himself for being shallow, and he had worked as a household clerk for four or five years, but he had not learned much about the skills that had been applied to the world.

The twilight was coming, the stars were twinkling in the sky, and Lin Jian saw that he would not delay the night walk, so he was relieved, and he could rush back to Xisha Island a day earlier.

There was a bilge on the ship for prisoners or prisoners, and Lin Jian and Ao Canghai walked down the bilge cell, and accompanied the boat Lang Zhongzheng to give Du Rong medicine under the escort of two military guards.

"You guys go out......" Lin Jian said to let Lang Zhong and Wu Wei go out with the boat, without hindering him and Du Rong.

Du Rong had multiple injuries on his body, the most serious of which was a stab wound in the chest, although he did not hurt the vital point, but he lost too much blood, making his face look unusually pale.

Du Rong saw Lin Lian coming in, and he didn't want to act like a dying dog in front of him, so he sat down with his waist straight, and said coldly: "You should kill me quickly......"

"If you want to die, there are many ways, why wait for me to do it?" Lin Jian sat down in front of Du Rong and said with a chuckle, "I didn't come here to persuade you to live, nor to persuade you to die, and I didn't want to take something out of your mouth." I'm not qualified to covet anything from the luxury family right now, I'm very self-aware, so don't worry that I'll force you to sell the luxury family at this time. You are worried about your wife, children, young and old and your people who stayed in Jin'an, I can understand it, but if you can live one more day, who will ask for death? I can at least let you go to Prison Island to live in silence in the cell as a nameless, nameless, and undocumented prisoner, and the luxury family will never know that you are still alive. If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, then I have no other way, I will ask Lang Zhong to stop taking the medicine, it is ......"

Du Rong didn't say anything, but he was aggrieved in his heart, Lin Tie wanted to torture him, insult him in every way or lure him, he could not bite his tongue or go on a hunger strike to die, Lin Tie just treated him like this, what could he say, can people really go to death?

Lin Lian also knew that Du Rong was of little use to him at this time, in short, he kept his mouth alive first, and motioned outside the cabin door to come in with the boatman to continue to treat Du Rong, and he and Ao Canghai returned to the deck and waited for the dawn to arrive at Xisha Island.
