Chapter 90 Hands on
There is a dark area on the coast, and no light can be seen. After estimating the time, Yu Xiaotian roughly estimated that it was about 10 p.m., which was already the second day. In this era, ordinary people basically have no entertainment at night. Except for dignitaries and rich families, the old People basically go to bed early. Those who have a wife will do ** sports with their wives. Those who don't have a wife rely on their ten-finger sister to comfort themselves. Therefore, by this time, people have basically fallen asleep.
Therefore, they approached the shore, and they did not light lanterns, and no one could find them docking in such a night.
The shore is quiet. Looking east from afar, you can see the lights of Dinghai City from afar, but this side is a bay sunken to the shore. Although the straight distance between the coast here and Dinghai City is only about five miles, if you go around on land, it will at least exceed Ten miles away, this is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian dares to take people to land here.
Even if something happens here, the royal officers and soldiers of Dinghai City dare to come out of the city to investigate after warning. Ten miles away is enough for them to walk for a while. By the time the officers and soldiers rushed here, they are estimated to have boarded the ship and left the shore.
Everyone was nervous at this time. This time, they didn't investigate here in advance, so they had to do it directly. They didn't know the situation here at all, including Yu Xiaotian, felt that they were not very confident, so everyone kept their voices as low as possible and dared not speak loudly.
Because they did not know the depth of the water on the coast, they did not dare to lean the boat directly on the shore. Instead, they dropped the stone anchor and put down the small sam carried by the ship dozens of meters away from the shore.
The black head led people down to the shamboard, rowed all the way, explored the water deep, rowed towards the shore, and finally dragged the cable and climbed to the coast.
Under their guidance, the rest of the people anchored again and slowly along the waterway they protrud, and then carefully leaned against the shore.
Yu Xiaotian is very nervous in the process of docking. It is easy to land late at night in strange waters, even with lantern torches, but they have to lean the boat to the shore in completely dark. This is undoubtedly a risky. As long as they are not careful, they may be stranded on the shore. Once If they can't return to the sea after dawn, they are equivalent to fish thrown ashore, and the end is self-evident.
Fortunately, the depth of the shore can also satisfy their ships approaching the shore, and the people on the boat know the tide in this area. Before dawn, this is the low tide. As long as the ship is close to the shore, they will not be stranded here because of the low tide.
After a while of tossing, they got off the ship to the shore. Yu Xiaotian asked Liu Laoliu and Zhao Mazi to stay on the ship, taking Meng madman and blackhead, Liu Tong, Han Xian and other seven or eight bold descendants on the ship. After identifying the direction, he immediately touched the village not far from the shore.
According to the location that Li told Yu Xiaotian, the place they chose to dock is near Dongping Village. After landing, it is easy to find Dongping Village.
Dongping Village was originally a small village. The village used to build earth walls as a fortification against pirates and Japanese pirates. However, over the years, the Japanese disaster has become lighter. In addition, it is relatively close to the city of thousands of households in Dinghai, and pirates generally dare not come here to attack, so there is one in this village. A large household built an iron-making workshop outside the village. Unexpectedly, this iron-making workshop was booming, which attracted many people nearby to come here to buy ironware, so that later Dongping Village gradually formed a business circle of iron-making. There were as many as seven or eight blacksmith shops, which gradually became large.
The mob captured by Lianjiang County this time was sent here to build the road from Dinghai City to Lianjiang County, and these exiles gathered here.
This has also become Yu Xiaotian's goal. At present, he does not have the ability to go directly to the shore to recruit people, so he can only rely on forced kidnapping to meet his needs.
As for pulling back, when he arrived at Treasure Island, these exiles could only be at his mercy. He believed that under good food and good support, these people would follow him.
Yu Xiaotian touched Dongping Village with a dozen people. Not far away, he saw Dongping Village and a messy hut outside the village under the night.
A not wide road passed outside Dongping Village and extended along the coast to the east and west sides. Yu Xiaotian raised his hand to stop the footsteps of the people behind him.
"You wait here! I'll take the black head to explore the truth first!" Yu Xiaotian squatted down, and the rest of the people quickly gathered around. He lowered his voice and ordered the crowd.
Meng madman nodded and said, "Steer, be careful!"
"Don't worry! Be careful, don't let the wind go! I'll be back soon! If I don't come back before dawn, you will go back to the ship, return to the sea first, and come here to pick me and Han Xian tomorrow night!" Yu Xiaotian didn't dare to say enough and left a way out for himself. Once they can't do anything tonight, at least they can leave tomorrow night.
After hearing this, Meng madman nodded and agreed. Yu Xiaotian didn't say anything more. He took the black head and trotted towards the place where the people gathered outside Dongping Village.
The whole Dongping Village was dark and quiet, and occasionally the sound of insects broke this tranquility, but it did not attract anyone's attention.
After Yu Xiaotian touched the outside of the village with his black head, he saw a lot of huts in a flat place outside the village by the moonlight. It seems that there are all drifters gathered here. Near the village, there are several courtyards, and some chimneys that are not high can be seen. In this way, it can basically be concluded. , there is a blacksmith's shop.
In addition, in the west of the village, they found a place where the lantern was lit, so Yu Xiaotian went to the black head and touched the place where the lantern was lit again, squatted down and observed carefully.
It turned out that there was a circle surrounded by a wooden fence, which looked like a big animal circle, leaving a door. At the door, two people in soapy blue clothes were looking at the door of the fence. From their costumes, it can be seen that these two people should be the officials of the county government.
And inside the wooden fence, with the weak light of the lanterns hanging on the fence door, you can vaguely see that there are many people lying in the four wallless straw huts inside. After an inventory, there are about 40 people, which are estimated to be those who were caught by the county government. The unruly people of grain.
Outside the fence are piled with wooden shovels and rakes, bamboo baskets or rattan baskets, and a large stone sledge. It can be seen at a glance that these things are tools used to repair roads. In this way, it can be concluded that this is the place to temporarily watch the unruly detained.
The specific number of servants responsible for guarding these unruly people is unknown. You can only see that there are two servants with iron rulers and single knives on duty at the door, and one servant is still sleeping outside the doorrail, and there is no vigilance at all.
Yu Xiaotian and Heitou observed carefully. On the north side of the fence, they found a relatively large and slightly talkative shack, which did not look like a living exile, so Yu Xiaotian let the blackhead stay and touched the side of the shack by himself.
There was a dark piece of shack, and nothing could be seen clearly, but the sound of breathing and snoring could be heard inside. Yu Xiaotian stretched out his head and looked inside at the window of the shack.
After slightly adapting to the dark environment, Yu Xiaotian could probably see several bamboo beds in the shack, and there were three ** sleeping people. In this way, it can basically be judged that there were only five people responsible for taking care of the unruly people, which was less than he expected.
After finding out these situations, Yu Xiaotian turned back with blackheads and touched the vicinity of the blacksmith's shop outside the village and began to explore the situation here. After touching them one by one, they finally focused on the easternmost blacksmith's shop.
This blacksmith's shop is very small. After Yu Xiaotian jumped into the wall, he found that there were only three people in the small courtyard, which met their requirements. However, they were not sure about the craftsmanship of the blacksmith here, but now they can't be too high to get a blacksmith. They are satisfied!
After a cup of tea, Yu Xiaotian and Blackhead returned to Meng Madman's hiding place and told them the situation simply to Meng Madman.
After listening to this, Meng madman stood up and wanted to do it, but he was pulled down by Yu Xiaotian and squatted down.
"Don't worry! Today, we will do two times at the same time. I will take people to the fence. You and the blackhead will deal with the blacksmith. Remember! We are not here to kill people, especially on your side. When dealing with blacksmiths, we are never allowed to kill people! Scar them, tie them up and take them away. If not, just let go back to the ship! Do you remember Uncle Meng? Yu Xiaotian suppressed his voice and confessed to the Meng madman.
Madman Meng smiled and scratched his head and said, "Look at what the helmsman is saying. I, Meng madman, am not the one who likes to kill people at any time! I understand that we want people to die! Don't worry!"
Yu Xiaotian then simply divided the rest of the people to see that it was getting late, so he nodded and said, "I remember it clearly! Don't hurt people easily unless you have to! Unless someone wants to harm you, control as many people as possible to take them on the boat! Prepare the rope you brought. Let's do it!"
Without saying a word, Meng madman clicked two and then followed the blackhead to touch the blacksmith's shop, and the remaining seven people followed Yu Xiaotian to get up and trot towards the other side of the fence under the cover of the night.
(The second update, brothers, let's have a red ticket!)
