Chereads / Seven Samurai / Chapter 124 - Chapter 12

Chapter 124 - Chapter 12

Sitting on the side of the boat with his feet bent, Jack allowed the matchmaker to bandage his left hand.

The boat was already quite far away from Heluo San Town and had left behind the chasing group. In addition to the sailors on the ship doing their respective jobs, the two servants of the Sima family, Zhao Yong and Zhao Ke, stared at the stranger in front of them with great vigilance; on the other hand, they also protected their little master. Sima Xiao was the only one who stayed by Jack's side without any suspicion or fear. He had already complied with his aunt's wishes and prepared wine and food on the deck. The group did not prepare any seats, so they squatted or sat and ate on the board of the boat. Of course, the little girl was more interested in playing than eating. She looked around happily at the sailors at work, or smiled sweetly and gave things to others to eat.

Lu Zhong, who picked up the big bowl and drank wine again, looked sideways at the man sitting on the side of the boat. "I never thought you were made of meat."

"This..." Jack smiled wryly, looking at the bald man who was drinking. "Is this a compliment or a joke?"

"Haha, it's up to you to think about it." Lu Zhong turned around and asked, "You can't be sure that you haven't seen magic and can't even think of one or two countermeasures after staying abroad for so long."

"I knew he could do magic," everyone listened to what Jack was about to say. "Of course I stayed far away," these words surprised everyone. "Wait for another opportunity to sneak attack on him!" Everyone was dumbfounded and showed contempt.

"Sneak attack?" Yan Yan pouted with her unique puzzled look and blinked her beautiful eyes. "That's not very aboveboard."

"Be aboveboard?" Jack laughed at these four words. Pulling out two fingers and facing Yan Yan, she said: "Only idiots will stupidly do two things: First, confront the magician head-on, no matter what type he is;" Pulled out his index finger and faced it with his middle finger "Second, be obedient and wait for them to finish reciting the spell. You have to be stupid and have some sense of control, okay?" After everyone else laughed, Jack narrowed his eyes, touched his chin and reflected on the previous battle. "But the old man's electric shock didn't have an obvious prelude. The most important thing was that it didn't require any spells. The magic weapon was pretty good. I didn't notice this and got it in vain. It was a big loss. "

This Jie Qi was asking Jack about his next plan.

"If you lose, you lose. What else can you say?" Jack faced the wind with a resigned expression. Jie Qi didn't quite believe it and asked, "Are you not angry at all?"

"Angry? Of course you are angry. The anger has just dissipated. If you stay angry for too long, you will easily get internal injuries." After saying these touching words, Jack slightly moved the matchmaker's bandaged left hand. The packaging is both beautiful and proper, and it is indeed the work of a careful person. But it didn't help the injury at all, it was still very inflexible.

"Just ignore him?" Jie Qi thought about it seriously. Jack smiled and gave an analogy: "Just imagine, if there was a dog biting you on the road and wouldn't let go, would you kick it?"

After thinking for a while, Jie Qi nodded and replied: "Yes." Jack continued: "If you kick it to death, would you be sad?"

"All at once."

"If it bites you, run away from it. Will you chase it and kick it?"

"I have nothing to do. Why should I catch up and kick it?"

"That's right." Jack agreed with Jie Qi's answer and nodded. "If the dog thing ends, will you remember it forever?"

"No." Jie Qi smiled. "Remember those who did...what...what..." Jack was very satisfied with Jieqi's answer, but the young man who replied calmed down and thought carefully. "Ah! You treat people like dogs! This...this is too much!"

Grabbing Jie Qi's collar and pulling him forward, Jack said word by word almost face to face through clenched teeth: "In my eyes, people are worse than dogs. It's very polite to compare you to dogs! What's the point? Nothing too much!" Pushing the introduction aside, Jack stood on the deck of the boat. The expression is ferocious and the momentum is overwhelming. "If it weren't for the two-to-one vote, I would have ruined the world! What's even worse is the old man in my family." Stepping closer to Jieqi's position, "If Sally's job was done by me. As early as the first day of advent, In three days, I will destroy everything! There is no need to be idle all day long like now. Damn it, who do you think you are? You are worse than shit.

A small hand pulled the hem of Jack's clothes, and a sweet voice came out. "Here, roasted corn is here for you to eat."

"Oh, thank you."

The little girl named Ping'er, who was respectfully called Jiuniangniang in the Sima family, took the roasted corn from her hand. Jack sat back on the side of the boat with a kind face and gnawed the corn in his hand. I saw the little girl running to other places again.

The Jie brothers, who were quite uncomfortable with Jack's polar changes, cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Are you now..."

Jack, who was nibbling the corn in his hand with relish, saw the expressions of the two brothers and wiped his mouth. "I'm a stupid person. I don't want to think about other things when I'm doing one thing. Let's talk about destroying the world after eating. Ah, my mouth is so dry." Jack got off the side of the boat and sat straight on the ground. "Here's a bowl of wine. A bowl of wine."

"Jack, I didn't expect your ambition to be so lofty. It's really scary." Sima Xiao, who was very drunk, blushed and raised the wine bowl in his hand. "Today, I, the prodigal son of the Sima family, will do justice for heaven and eliminate all evil in the world. The only thing I can do is get you drunk. When your mouth is busy, your hands will be idle. You said it yourself. Come on, come on, drink, drink wine."

"Hahaha, I can't resist this move. Let's see who gets drunk and dies here first." The smiling Jack picked up the wine bowl and started drinking.

"Hoo~" A cool river breeze blew over the two brothers, causing both of them to shiver. Seeing the cups and plates in front of them, the wine, the fish and the meat, no matter who was in front of them, they became one and the same in just three quarters of an hour. The two of them could somewhat understand the reason why Sima Xiao was called a prodigal son. He is really a glutton for drinking just to find excuses, no matter how cruel his drinking companion is.

A beautiful woman in aqua-colored floral clothes came next to her, leaning on the side of the boat and enjoying the cool river breeze. Yan Yan looked at the two brothers with a smile. "Sometimes, there are easier solutions to some things. There is no need to choose the difficult way. My father once said that to get rid of evil people, just don't let people have the opportunity to do evil. Jack doesn't do it at all now. It's not dangerous."

The two compromised brothers also agreed with Yan Yan's statement. After all, I can't defeat this man now, but it's not a big problem if I don't let him continue killing people. It's just that the troubles caused before don't seem to be so easy to solve. I learned from Sima Xiao that the name of the "Blonde Crazy" in the Southeast has been spread throughout the Southeast, and it is probably even more famous than the name of the Pleiades. Coupled with the previous tragic situation between Old Man Dijie and Jack, there may be more people coming here hoping to become famous than seeking revenge. Alas~

"Hey, kid." Lu Zhong looked at Jack while holding a half-full wine bowl. "Are you really just chasing people around like this without even saying a word? Don't just listen to little bitches farting." He glanced at the matchmaker aside intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eyes. The beauty quickly looked away in other directions, not daring to meet Lu Zhong's eyes. "I ran away a lot before I became famous. It was not a pleasant experience."

"What does it matter? As long as you like this kind of escape life, it won't feel awkward at all." Jack smiled and drank the wine and returned to Lu Zhong, regardless of what his strange eyes were pointing at. I saw the bald man who didn't quite understand, rubbing his head. "I like the life of escape. Is that weird?"

Jack didn't feel dissatisfied after hearing this, and added wine and meat. "Why is it weird? Hide and seek is more fun when you hide than when you are a ghost. Anyway, even if you are caught by a ghost, we have nothing to lose."

"Haha, that's right, that's right." Sima Xiao held the wine bowl in his hands and toasted Jack. After finishing a bowl, I tried to fish out the wine from the wine vat but found nothing. "Hey~ dumb servant, the wine is gone, bring up another tank~" he yelled towards the cabin. An old man walked out, carrying a small jar of wine in his hand. "Master, save your drink, there's not much wine."

"Don't call me, hiccup~ Before I got on this boat, I deliberately got into a cabin of wine. How could it be gone so quickly?"

"It's good for your health. If you drink this way, you'll be gone soon." The old man returned to the cabin with his hands behind his back.

"Hey!" Lu Zhong blushed, rubbed his bald head, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you just call that guy a mute servant? How come this mute guy can still talk? I don't understand, I don't understand."

After grabbing a full bowl of wine, Sima Xiaocai smiled and said, "I have taken care of him since he was a child. He has a good ear and loves to preach. In a fit of anger, he changed his name and called him Mute Servant. I just wish he was deaf and mute. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do, he is getting stronger and stronger as he gets older. Ah~ stop talking about this, drink and drink." The three or five people drank the yellow soup again, and they were very satisfied.

On the other side, the matchmaker was dragged by Ping'er to play with the flower ball.

Another gust of breeze blew by, and the two brothers standing in the wind lost some doubts, but had other problems.

As the saying goes, drinking alone is tasteless if you don't have company; some people say that a thousand cups of wine is too little when you have a close friend; others say that when you drink wine and sing songs, there is no life; how can you relieve your worries, only Du Kang. Anyway, no matter what those ancients, ancestors, ancestors, and aliens said, they can't change the facts before us.

Not to mention the mess of cups and plates on the deck, a few drunkards were probably extremely drunk. Lu Zhong, with his chest and back exposed, fell directly on the deck and fell asleep; Taoist Qiao huddled aside, his red mouse face snoring constantly; Sima Xiao hung one foot on the side of the ship, his beard and hair pulled into a ball and spread out on the On the face, it started to blow. As for the Sword Master... he was greedy for wine and dumped the wine vat, lay flat on the ground, stuck his head in and drank the last drop of wine, and fell asleep in it.

Sima Xiao didn't take his maid with him when he slipped out, and now the matchmaker was taking care of Ping'er, who was tired and fell asleep after playing with it. Zhao Yong and Zhao Ke were thinking about whether to get rid of the golden scourge in front of them now. Of course, the two Jie brothers were also thinking this way. But Yan Yan was still blowing the river breeze. After all, the rivers, mountains and forests were much more beautiful than the four drunkards. Anyway, with the skilled sailors of the Sima family operating the boat, it didn't take much effort to sail down the river.

"Hulu! Hulu!" The sailor standing on the mast looking out pointed to the front and yelled. Everyone who heard it rushed to the bow of the ship to watch, and even those who were sleeping were woken up. Jack lifted the vat and shook it. "What's wrong? Ah! Who locked up the sun? Damn it! Help, it's so dark."

Hugging the drunken Juggernaut from behind, the matchmaker took a lot of effort to safely put down the wine jar on Jack's head. The man who suddenly saw the light covered his eyes and fell back violently. "Oh! The sun is so dazzling!" Due to the height difference between the two, the happy man leaned on the matchmaker's big breasts, but he was completely unaware. The so-called drunken people love to be lively. After adapting to the sunlight, Jack pushed away the beauty leaning against him. Together with the other three drunkards who had just woken up, they stumbled towards the bow of the ship.

Yan Yan at the front held Ping'er lying on the side of the boat and looked at the big crocodile below that had just approached and was now swimming with the boat. The sailors nearby were chatting to themselves: "It's strange, how come Hulu can reach the river?" "Would you like to add some dishes to it? It tastes as fresh as pheasant." "Maybe the Dragon King is looking for a bride. Hu Lu is sent as the vanguard." "Hahahaha~"...

It didn't matter that the sailors were talking crazy words, but four drunkards lined up in a row, hanging their heads on the side of the ship. When I saw the crocodile underneath, I just... "vomit~~" "vomit~~" "vomit~~" "vomit~~"

The poor crocodile was intoxicated... Oh, this shouldn't be considered intoxicating... Anyway, the smell coming from the four drunken men was unbearable, and the people next to them pinched their noses and fanned themselves. The crocodile below dived into the water, cleaned itself up, and then resurfaced. A big mouth opened, and he screamed several times.

Jack, who fell back on the board, was waving his hands wildly, muttering in his hands: "Follow it, follow it..." The sailors looked at each other, and the crocodile underneath seemed to be leading the way to the shore in a certain direction. Zhao Yong and Zhao Ke bent down and asked for instructions from the nominal owner of the ship, Sima Xiao, but they only heard him talking nonsense. "Follow, follow, why don't you follow. My family has a big business and I can afford to lose any amount of silver. I'm afraid you'll lose this bet..."

Ping'er on the side was also jumping excitedly, grabbing the hem of Zhao Ke's clothes and screaming: "Follow me, follow me!"

No matter what, a beast can't do much harm. As soon as his thoughts changed, Zhao Yong followed the wishes of his ninth lady and directed the sailors to follow the direction of the crocodiles below.

The single-masted ship sailed half-sail, facing the wind, and sailed slowly toward the shore. The trees on the shore are lush and lush, and thousands of catkins are fluttering like curtains. Yan Yan is standing on the edge of the boat, wandering in fascination. Suddenly, I saw five groups of golden lights coming out of the woods, jumping over the back of the crocodile and jumping onto the boat. It was hard to guard against and unstoppable. Standing on the bow of the boat were five golden weasels, their long velvet tails spread flat on the ground, with only the tips of their tails slightly wet.

With its hind feet on the ground and its front feet raised, the golden weasel sat up and looked at the drunken man on the ground. Ping'er saw the fun and was about to step forward to touch the fluffy golden hair. One of the big weasels suddenly bared its teeth and cracked its mouth, showing a ferocious look that scared the little girl under seven years old to tears.

Everyone on the boat gathered sticks and drew swords, and prepared for the attack. The matchmaker took back Ping'er, whose eyes were red from crying, and stared at the five golden ferrets in front of her. One of them got down on all fours, hunched forward, and approached Jack, who was lying drunk on the ground. The matchmaker wanted to stop her, but was forced to take three steps back by the frightening sounds of the other two golden ferrets. Gritting his teeth, he tried to step forward again, but saw that Jin Weasel just pushed the man who fell to the ground.

"Who is it~?" Half-opening his sleepy eyelids, Jack raised his head and faced the golden weasel's weasel face. After looking back and confirming that he was in a society with living people, Jack yawned and returned to the ground. "Daydreaming in broad daylight, I really drank too much."

Showing what was considered a weird smile for humans, the golden weasel's eyes became crescent-shaped. He put his mouth close to the sword master's ear and screamed loudly~! The shock only made the ear drums of everyone present rumble, and no matter how powerful the force was, they couldn't resist it. Of course Jack jumped up and looked around stupidly. The other sleeping people also had no peace. A few people who were already sober suddenly remembered that they had heard this sound.

"Ah! Ah! Is the sky falling? Or has Sally gone crazy?" The man who was awakened finally saw everything around him clearly. When he saw the familiar golden-haired weasel, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stuck his head out and asked, "Why are you here? Don't all the flying knife weasels stay in the cold spring?"

The Knife Weasel closest to Jack sat up and squeaked.

"No. You said someone captured your companions? Who would be so idle?" Jack was surprised, but the flying knife weasel in front of him just shook his head in confusion.

"Okay," Jack called over his shoulder with a big yawn. "Matchmaker, bring me a glass of water." She scratched her itch and looked at the dangerous golden weasel in front of her. "Tell me, what's the matter? You came here to see me, not just to ask if you saw it."

The matchmaker at the back carefully brought a glass of water, just to be careful about the unknown big weasel in front of me. The flying knife weasel just squeaked a few times, and Jack drank the water in the cup in a daze. "I may not be able to help you much. After all, what I want to do has nothing to do with yours. Although it is easier for me to get information than you."

The golden velvet tail was rolled up, and a silk cloth package fell out. Flying Sword Weasel carefully unfolded the four corners of the colorful silk and placed a yellow object inside. With all four limbs lying on the ground, the Flying Knife Weasel seemed to be begging. Jack smiled angrily: "I'm giving you another banana in exchange. I'm really impressed by you." He scooped up the banana and handed it back with the cup and the banana wrapped in silk cloth. "Matchmaker, put it away."

When they heard that the thing in the silk cloth was banana, one of the wonder medicines in the world, everyone who saw it was jealous. The matchmaker who took over just followed Jack's instructions and put it into her arms for safekeeping, as if nothing had happened. It really makes people wonder if she knows the preciousness of the things in her arms.

"I may not necessarily help you to the end, but at least I will ask for something for you. Leave me a contact method." Jack said as if he was bargaining, and the flying knife weasel who came forward did not show any objection, and waved his velvet tail lightly. , a smaller flying knife weasel walked out from behind. I saw that its golden hair showed a slight pink color under the sunlight. Jack opened his eyes wide and praised: "What a beautiful girl. You said that after getting the exact news, she will naturally contact you."

The four flying knife weasels who had already rushed to the side of the ship nodded in unison. Jack looked at them suspiciously. "How many have you come back this time?" Flying Sword Weasel smiled but did not answer, but there was something indescribably weird about that smile. "Oh~ don't laugh at that virtue, it's very scary." The most dangerous animals in the trial forest jumped off the boat one by one, and returned to the shore by clicking on the crocodile's back. One of them stayed on the crocodile's back. The sloop set sail again, and the crocodile, which had been submerged in the water, carried the flying knife weasel on its back and left alone without following.

Looking at the Flying Knife Weasel who stayed by his side, Jack Mo said helplessly: "Let's talk about it first. Three rules. First, you can't hurt people with your hands. Of course, if there are idiots who want to hurt you, just try to hit them as much as possible." Standing next to him. The Flying Knife Weasel smiled and nodded, "Two, I will find a way to eat something, don't just pick it up or pick it up on the hunting road;" Still nodded, "Third,... I haven't thought of it yet. I will tell you when I think of it. . Are you hungry? Do you want some meat first?" Flying Sword Weasel still nodded with a smile.

The captain sitting cross-legged beside him, Sima Xiao, greeted his men knowingly. "Bring some raw meat up to feed our guests." I saw the flying knife weasel stretched out its front paws to grab Jack. Jack turned his head in shock, then turned around and ordered: "I want to bring a barrel of cooked beef. This guy is quite picky. of."

Feeling satisfied, Fei Dao Weasel returned to all fours and walked slowly to Ping'er, who was holding Yan Yan's calf. Licking the tears on her little face, she rubbed her body like a baby, wagging her tail. The little girl burst into laughter and hugged the fluffy neck of the flying knife weasel.

The man whose head was a little... um~ very painful yawned loudly, raised his head, and looked at the group of people behind him. "Be careful. When the Flying Sword Weasel shakes its tail, it means it is hungry. I don't need to say anything else." Standing next to Ping'er, Yan Yan looked at the golden-haired weasel being held around its neck. , the smile on that weasel face is very, very...

After a full meal, the flying knife weasel was lying lazily on the deck, basking in the warm sun. He stretched out his sharp claws and picked at the white fangs. With his golden fur reflecting the sun, and in the eyes of a child from a wealthy family, Sima Xiao was thinking about how much joy and favor he would bring to girls after taking the down and making it into fur.

"Sobering Up Soup." The mute servant cooked four bowls of sobering up soup and brought them to the four drunkards who were sitting on the deck. In addition to a large swarm of bees flying around in the minds of the four of them, there were also a lot of messy thoughts. The bowl of hangover soup in front of them came at the right time. However, Sima Xiao, who was holding the soup bowl, did not take his mouth. He just looked at the dark soup in the bowl.

"Puff puff!"

As expected, the three people beside them sprayed out the hangover soup they had just drank. Sima Xiaocai was about to laugh at the others, but the mute servant standing in front of him suddenly took action. I saw the mute servant skillfully pouring the soup into Sima Xiao's mouth without leaving a drop. Of course the four drunkards shouted in unison: "It's so bitter~~"

"Good medicine tastes bitter. If it is not bitter, it cannot be called good medicine." Putting away the four broken bowls, the mute servant walked back to the cabin as if nothing had happened.

"A dead old man who can kill a thousand swords!" Jack cursed with his tongue hanging out. The old man with incredibly sharp ears turned around and his eyes shot out, which scared Jack's tongue so much that he retracted it. He quickly changed the topic and greeted the matchmaker. "Water! Water! The more the merrier!"

Grabbing a jar of water from the matchmaker, Jack gulped it for five gulps before handing it to Lu Zhong who was standing aside. The fat bald man also drank three gulps before handing it to Taoist Qiao. By the time he arrived at Sima Xiao's turn, he had already seen the bottom of the altar, with not even a drop of water left. The poor boat owner could only struggle and ask for help from his own sailors. The culprit has been in the cabin for a long time.

At this time, several sailors came forward and asked, which direction should the ship go? Jack immediately answered: "Go to Sakai."

"Sakai? That big eastern port?"

Seeing Jack nodding, Sima Xiao also ordered the sailors below to head to Sakai. For him, he had no destination anyway.

The sword master, who was mostly awakened by the bowl of bitter soup, couldn't fall asleep for a while. The bitter taste in my mouth lingers, as if I had to cut my tongue to get rid of the taste. He found that the matchmaker was playing a three-stringed yueqin with Ping'er. Seeing that it was interesting, he took the yueqin and held it in his hand.

"Why is there a yueqin here?" Jack asked simply. Although the Yueqin in hand is not made of top-grade wood, the planing and varnishing are flawless. Fine workmanship, unusual item. Moreover, this is not the type of musical instrument commonly used in the Southeast. Sima Xiao thought for a while. "This was left by a foreign singer I know well, but I forgot which big wooden box it was stuffed into. I don't know where my aunt dug it out for fun."

Something came to his mind, and a flash of inspiration occurred. Jack closed his eyes and let his fingers play randomly, but a melodious piece of music played out. Everyone around him was surprised and stared at Jack.
