Concentricity

Mo Jinyan stood in the night wind for a long time, until he was awakened by Brother Xu's cry.It turned out that after a long time, the people in the village did not see the Japanese pirates coming, nor heard that the alarm was lifted, so they sent a few people to inquire about the news.

When Brother Xu saw someone coming, he sounded a warning.Its voice was quite unpleasant, and it frightened a group of villagers, and the two timid ones ran back.

Mo Jinyan collected his bow and arrow, and said loudly to the villagers: "The pirates have retreated. Since everyone is here, please help clean up the corpses of these pirates." For ready-made arrows, you have to go to the county town to find a blacksmith to make arrows, and you have to make arrows by yourself when you come back, so you can save money if you can.

Everyone lit the torches, and only then did they see the corpses lying on the ground, and they all turned pale with fright.A bold man stood up and asked, "Dare to ask this hero, but did you kill these pirates?"

Mo Jinyan withdrew the arrow, put it back into the quiver on his back, and said calmly, "I'm not a hero. I happened to meet them and they were not many, so I took care of them. There is no loss in the village, right?"

"No, no. You were the one who reported to us earlier, right?"

Mo Jinyan said: "Yes. You guys can deal with it here, see if you want to report to the police. I'm leaving."

The villager asked again: "Dare to ask the hero Gao's name."

Mo Jinyan didn't turn his head back, and just said a word from a distance: "I am a fisherman on the edge of the Minjiang River."

The villagers gathered all the corpses of the pirates together and counted them, and there were nine of them. They couldn't help but gasped. They seemed to be unscathed when they dealt with nine of them by themselves. What a powerful master this must be.In fact, they didn't know that four more died in the river.

Almost overnight, Mo Jinyan became a celebrity on both sides of the Minjiang River.People have rumored that a heroic hero appeared on the Minjiang River, who was the nemesis of Japanese pirates. Because he did not leave his name, everyone only knew that he was a young knight with a big bird, and because he said he was a fisherman. , He was called "Minjiang fisherman".

Mo Jinyan didn't know that he had become a celebrity, and he was still fishing on the Minjiang River while quietly monitoring the pirates' movements.If the number is small, we will destroy them one by one, and if the number is large, we will report to everyone in advance to minimize casualties.After a long time, the Japanese pirates also knew that there was such a difficult person, and they hated and feared each one.

However, Japanese damage has not been alleviated.Since Zhong Yong was transferred away, the number of patrols by the Minjiang Shangshui Division has been significantly reduced. When Zhuang Xu died, the Plum Blossom Institute lost a total of six soldiers and lost a large ship. The loss can be described as heavy.

The newly appointed Qianhu adopts the previous conservative patrol method. When the pirates come, save them if you can, and never take the initiative to intercept the pirate ships.

After all, Mo Jinyan is weak alone and can do too little, so he can only watch the pirates come in groups and return with a full reward.Angry and hated in my heart, I only hoped that Zhong Yong would come back soon.

In the blink of an eye, summer is here, and the weather is changing.This year's hurricanes are also very frequent. When the hurricanes come, the sea tide at the Minjiang Estuary is raging, and huge waves are turned up. in the boat.At this time, Mo Jinyan had no choice but to dock the boat on the shore and take Brother Xu ashore to shelter from the wind and rain.

The one who visited the most was Chen Pingsheng's house.Chen Pingsheng’s family was impoverished and he still didn’t have a wife. Last year, his home was ransacked by Japanese pirates. At that time, in order to escape with his old mother and mentally handicapped brother, he had no time to clean up his belongings. The family was robbed of everything, which made this impoverished home even worse. , It is almost impossible to uncover the pot.

After Chen Pingsheng heard the rumor of "Minjiang Fisherman", he was the first to think of Mo Jinyan.He confirmed it with Mo Jinyan, but he shook his head and denied it, saying that he didn't know what Minjiang Fisherman was.Chen Pingsheng was not willing to let it go, so he asked whether he had picked a group of nine pirates in a certain village on a certain night in a certain month.Mo Jinyan categorically denied that he did it, because he did not kill nine pirates, but a dozen.

But Chen Pingsheng decided it was him. Besides him, who else had a big bird, was a young man, said he was a fisherman on the Minjiang River, and hated pirates to the bone?He has never seen Mo Jinyan's kung fu, but he has been away for two years and stayed in the navy, so he must have learned kung fu.

Chen Pingsheng admired and worried, whether it would be too dangerous for Mo Jinyan to fight against the pirates alone.

Mo Jinyan and Chen Pingsheng gradually got to know each other because they often went to shelter from the wind and rain, and they sometimes went fishing together.

After another hurricane passed, the weather began to clear up. Mo Jinyan returned to the boat again. The influx of the tide had not completely receded, and the water level of the river was still high.Mo Jinyan knew that the water would recede slowly, so he didn't take it seriously.Chen Pingsheng also took advantage of the hurricane to go fishing, but he didn't go to the river for three days, and his family was about to be overwhelmed.

However, they were all wrong. After the hurricane passed this time, things did not calm down, and another more violent hurricane followed.Not long after Mo Jinyan and Chen Pingsheng went down the river, there was a strong wind, even a tornado, which turned the river into a boiling pot of soup. Before they could land in time, the fishing boat was turned upside down.

Mo Jinyan got out of the water, found Chen Pingsheng who was struggling not far away, swam over, grabbed his arm, and the two of them paddled desperately towards the shore in the turbulent water, but they still couldn't reach the shore.

At this moment, it is actually hard to tell which is the river and which is the shore. The water level of the sea has risen sharply, and the river is full of backflowing seawater. The seawater overflowed the embankment and coast, flooding countless farmland and villages.The tumbling waves swept over the two of them, as if they were tossing them in the palm of their hands, bumping and beating up and down, causing their internal organs to be displaced, and the salty sea water filled their stomachs.

Seeing that there was no hope of going ashore, Mo Jinyan knew that he should not waste his strength in vain. He glanced around and saw a piece of driftwood not far away. He dragged Chen Pingsheng to the edge of the driftwood, hugged the driftwood, and said loudly: "Chen Brother, let's not go ashore now, hold on to the plank, don't let go, wait until the waves calm down."

Brother Xu flew up at the moment the boat was overturned, and was blown like a butterfly with broken wings in the strong wind, swaying, it was so frightened that it chirped loudly, looking for the whereabouts of its owner everywhere.It wasn't until he saw Mo Jinyan surfaced and found the driftwood that he glides and landed on the wood Mo Jinyan was clinging to.

Mo Jinyan lay on the wood, coughing vigorously the seawater in his stomach.The waves tossed the two of them up and down, the surrounding area was full of water, and the entrance was full of fishy and salty water. I didn't know where I was, whether I was in the river or in the sea.For the first time, he felt that in the face of natural disasters, no matter how powerful human beings are, they are powerless. Even if he has all the skills and first-class water skills, he is so insignificant at this moment.

The two hugged the driftwood tightly and drifted with the current, trying to wait for the strong wind to pass.However, the wind finally weakened, and the downpour came one after another, which beat people so hard that they couldn't even open their eyes. Brother Xu's feathers were all soaked, and he couldn't even fly.

Mo Jinyan was exhausted and could only try his best to hold on to the driftwood. Chen Pingsheng's physical strength was worse than his. Tie the person to the wood, and then he is barely supported by the wood and floats on the water.Mo Jinyan knew that if they couldn't reach the shore, they would all be buried here.

Suddenly, a big wave came and rushed them to the top of the wave. At the moment of the top of the wave, Mo Jinyan saw a piece of land: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, look quickly, we can go ashore ahead."

Chen Pingsheng was about to give up hope, and felt that he was going to die this time. Suddenly seeing hope, he quickly pulled himself together: "Where, where is it?"

"It's just ahead, very close, let's row over."

After a lot of effort, the two finally landed on the shore, and found that it was not a land, but an island, and the surrounding area was flooded, leaving a mountain top, but they finally landed, so they didn't need to soak in the water.

Mo Jinyan ignored the heavy rain and lay down on the ground resting for a long time with his eyes closed. Finally, he gained some strength and raised his head.Chen Pingsheng was still panting aside, Brother Xu didn't know where he went, did he fall into the water? "Brother Xu, where's Brother Xu?"

Brother Xu responded with a "chirp", Mo Jinyan wiped off the rain, and saw Brother Xu shivering under a big tree.Mo Jinyan laughed, Brother Xu is still alive, and he will find a place to shelter from the rain, so smart.He stood up and walked towards Chen Pingsheng: "Brother Chen, get up, let's find a place to shelter from the rain." He helped Chen Pingsheng up.

Chen Pingsheng laughed at himself, and said weakly: "I didn't expect to be alive. Where is this?"

Mo Jinyan shook his head: "I don't know, it looks like an island, and it seems that a lot of places have been flooded. Let's find a place to spend the night. It's getting dark."

Mo Jinyan turned around, and before dark, he finally found a cliff that could shelter from the rain.Mo Jinyan was overjoyed and dragged Chen Pingsheng over.

Brother Xu suddenly yelled, startling Mo Jinyan, and took a closer look. It turned out that there were many big snakes criss-crossing under the cliff.It turned out that the sea water flooded up, forcing all the insects and snakes on the island out of their holes, and they had nowhere to hide, so they shrank under the rocky cliff without rain. Unexpectedly, they met Mo Jinyan unexpectedly.

Those snakes were also lazy, they didn't even bother to move when they saw the natural enemies eagle eagle and humans.Even though Mo Jinyan was brave, he didn't have the guts to live under a rocky cliff with these long worms.He sighed: "You are also quite pitiful, but we have nowhere to go, so I can only ask you to move."

As he spoke, he found a long wooden stick, picked up the big snakes one by one, and threw them aside.Those snakes got into the rain and instinctively crawled back down the cliff.

Chen Pingsheng felt trembling in his heart: "Xiao Mo, let's change the place."

Mo Jinyan also sighed: "It's all to make a living, I really don't want to embarrass them."

Brother Xu suddenly pounced on it, grabbed a big snake with his sharp claws and sharp beak, flapped his wet wings vigorously, flew several feet high, and threw the snake down.

Mo Jinyan exclaimed: "Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

I saw the big snake falling from mid-air, and fell straight up.Brother Xu screamed in the air, and slowly fell down, tearing the big snake's flesh with his sharp beak and sharp claws, and began to eat.It turned out that it had been in the water for a long time, and it was already hungry. Now that it saw food, there was no reason to let it go.

Mo Jinyan found that those snakes that were lingering and lingering, now finally knew the danger, and all slipped away.Mo Jinyan laughed loudly: "Brother Xu is really a good helper, okay, Brother Chen, those long bugs are gone, we have a place to stay tonight."

Mo Jinyan found a place to sit down, and found a lot of dry leaves and dead branches blown there by the wind under the rocky cliff, and went to the forest to pick up some dead wood and broken branches. After much effort, he finally lit the fire coming.With the fire, I finally saw the vitality, the two of them and the bird no longer trembled like leaves in the wind and rain.

Mo Jinyan still had a small dagger close to his body. He skinned the snake that brother Xu ate, cut the meat into pieces, found a stone slab and washed it, put the meat on it, and roasted it in the fire No matter if the snake meat is cooked or not, just eat it whole, fill your stomach first, and then think of a way after dawn.
