Chapter 462
After not seeing each other for several months, Lan Qiao could hardly recognize Feng Yeling in front of him.
She wears thick and long braids, and her skin has turned into a healthy wheat color due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, and has also become a lot rougher. The bulging muscles on her arms are vaguely visible, her legs are strong and slender, and her waist
The lines of her chest and hips became tighter, and her whole body seemed to be full of strength. Only her big, hopeful eyes were still bright and bright.
How is she still the pampered daughter of the Marquis, the most beautiful woman on the list of allures? She is completely like a genuine female pirate who runs rampant on the sea.
"There are eleven breathing ones left, what do you want to do with them?" A female warrior stepped forward to report.
"There is no place to stay on the ship, no more." Feng Yelingyun said lightly, without even turning his head, still gazing at Lanqiao affectionately and stroking his cheek.
I don't know if it was because she often practiced using the halberd, but her small hands, which were originally as delicate and delicate as spring green onions, now had a layer of distressing calluses.
Lan Qiao grabbed Feng Yeling's hand and touched the cocoon on it lovingly. He couldn't imagine the pain and bitterness she had experienced in the past few months.
Screams rang out on the deck one after another, the remaining Japanese pirates were all executed, and their bodies were thrown into the sea. The female warriors got into the cabin and moved away many valuable goods.
"I once had a sister injured by a fire gun. You will be fine." Feng Yeling comforted Lan Qiao, put on the ferocious brass mask again, stood up, picked up the stainless steel halberd, and waved it heavily on the Japanese ship.
on the mast.
"Get ready to go back." She ordered, and the heavy mast revealed a huge gap among the flying wood chips, shaking and making a harsh trembling sound.
Destroying the mast was her usual practice after defeating a Japanese ship. It was simple and quick, and even if the Japanese ship was recovered by the Japanese pirates, it would never be able to regain its combat power in a short period of time.
Seeing Feng Yeling swinging the halberd for the second time, Lan Qiao suddenly remembered that Chen Yuheng was still hugging the mast. Just as he was about to remind him, the halberd had already fallen.
The mast broke with a "click" and the nine-foot-long wooden pole tilted over. Chen Yuheng, who only remembered screaming at this moment, fell into the undulating waves.
As the mast fell, the female warriors raised their swords high and cheered soaring into the sky, celebrating their victory over another Japanese ship.
The female helmsman who stayed on the clipper put down the cable and pulled up Chen Yuheng, who was flopping in the sea in a panic. But she didn't even look at him and curled her lips and hummed: "Trash."
The female warriors jumped back to the speedboat one after another, and Lan Qiao was also supported by Feng Yeling and walked onto the pirate speedboat that had just destroyed Jiro Sakata.
"Her name is Da Chang, our most experienced helmsman." Feng Yeling first introduced the dark-faced female helmsman to Lan Qiao. Da Chang was tall and burly, so that Chen Yuheng, who was soaked standing next to her, was confused.
Like a child.
The layout of this ship is very similar to that of the Japanese ship. The entrance to the cabin is on the deck not far from the mast, with a cover plate on it.
As soon as the cover was lifted, Shen Xinliu jumped out of the hole, patted the dust on his body casually, and said with a smile: "It's Huaiyuan, this is..." He looked at Chen Yuheng.
Lan Qiao hurriedly introduced Chen Yuheng to Shen Xinliu, saying that Chen Yuheng was the disciple he had accepted a year ago, and then introduced Shen Xinliu to Chen Yuheng, saying that he was his master's master.
After everyone exchanged a few words, a female soldier who was in charge of watching came to report that four more Japanese ships had sailed out from the foot of Chicken Navel Mountain and were approaching them.
Feng Yeling issued instructions and ordered the speedboat to sail south, quickly leave this sea area full of danger and disputes, and use its speed advantage to escape the pursuit of enemy ships.
Lan Qiao looked at Feng Yeling's majestic appearance directing everyone's actions, and looked at the halberd in her hand shining brilliantly in the sun, and couldn't help but feel that "we have been apart for three days, so we should treat each other with admiration."
Apart from this emotion, he even felt a little strange about the copper-faced captain in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that she was his beloved wife.
"What? Are you a little uncomfortable seeing me like this?" After the clipper sailed at full speed for a distance and no trace of the Japanese ship was seen anymore, Feng Yeling finally took off his mask again, put it aside casually, and smiled. He said to Lan Qiao: "Let's talk about the gossip later. Let me take out the lead bullet for you first."
She helped Lan Qiao take off his shirt, laid him down on the deck, put her hands on the bullet wound on his chest again, and said with some disbelief: "My husband's skills have improved again. I have never seen anyone get shot." In the end, only such a shallow bullet mark was left.”
Lan Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "Although I know you are praising me, there is something wrong with what you said." When he said this, his heart moved, and he looked at Shen Xinliu, who was standing proudly at the stern of the boat. He was about to tell his master about his training. Regarding the fifth level of Cheng Qiankun Jue, Shen Xinliu gently waved his hand, indicating that he should not say anything about it yet.
Feng Yeling didn't pay attention to the silent exchange between Lan Qiao and Shen Xinliu. He took a can of strong liquor from the corner of the deck and poured it on Lan Qiao's wound, causing the latter to scream.
She pulled out a small knife again and carefully grilled it on the torch for a moment. Then she cut into Lan Qiao's skin with sharp eyes and quick hands, and accurately took out the lead bullet stuck in the flesh: "It's a pity that there is no medicine on the ship, so we can only wait until we get ashore." .”
"I have." Lan Qiao grimaced in pain, struggling to say another word, so he had to use his eyes to signal Yu Heng to bring him his cloak.
Feng Yeling fumbled around in the cloak for a moment, and found out a dozen medicine bags, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be quite meticulously prepared before coming."
Lan Qiao had no time to explain, pointed to the medicinal powder for treating trauma, and asked Feng Yeling to apply it on himself.
After treating the wound on his chest, Feng Yeling rolled Lan Qiao down on the deck and treated another bullet wound on his back in the same manner.
After all the injuries were treated and bandaged, Lan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Tell me about what happened in the past few months. How did you become a pirate captain?"
"We only fight Japanese pirates and don't rob people. How can we be called pirates?" Dachang, the helmsman, reminded dissatisfiedly, "If you are really pirates, how can you be accommodated on the ship?" She had a sarcastic look on her face, obviously dissatisfied with Lan. Qiao and Chen Yuheng, two men who were forced to become pole-climbing monkeys by the Japanese pirates, were very dissatisfied.
Lan Qiao was originally joking with Feng Yeling, but unexpectedly aroused Da Chang's disgust. He laughed twice and explained: "I was wrong, not the pirate captain, but the pirate captain."
Feng Yeling first signaled Da Chang to concentrate on driving the boat, and then smoothed things over: "My sister is very outspoken. She hates Japanese pirates very much. She always hopes that every Chinese child can trample Japanese pirates under their feet. It's not that she has any ill intentions towards you. .”
Chen Yuheng couldn't help but defend Lan Qiao: "As for the Japanese pirates, we killed several of them, and even hung the head of Saburo Sakata on the top of Taizhou City."
Although Da Chang was still busy playing roulette, his eyes when he looked at them had become much softer.
Feng Yeling sighed softly, sat down side by side with Lan Qiao, and quietly recounted her experiences in the past three months.
As early as the end of February, Lanqiao was still committed to looking for Li Jingshu and completing the ten-day appointment with Li Qi. War reports came from the southeast. The two prefectures of Taizhou and Wenzhou were invaded by Japanese pirates, and Yuhuan Chumen fell.
Shen Xinliu was worried that his old lover, who was living alone in a dangerous place, would be in trouble, so he took Feng Yeling to Yuhuan. Only when they arrived in Yuhuan did they find out that Feng Yeling's grandmother, Mrs. Fei, had moved to Dalu Island ten years ago. , had no choice but to go to Dalu Island to look for people.
They landed on Dalu Island and soon discovered that the atmosphere on the island was unusual, and were immediately received by the island owner He Jiuling.
He Jiuling was in his sixties, with silver hair. Although he was not tall, he looked energetic and gave people a sense of shrewdness and strength. He could tell at a glance that Shen Xinliu and Feng Yeling, the outsiders, were not the best in the pool. To explain to them the current predicament of Dalu Island.
It turns out that Dalu Island has few people settled here due to its dangerous terrain and many mountains. Only one old Taoist and two families of old fishermen settled here. Mrs. Fei didn’t have much to eat, so she opened a small field at the foot of the mountain. It's enough to support oneself.
When the civil war broke out, the Japanese pirates took advantage of the imperial court's lack of attention and began to plunder the people along the coast. He Jiuling was originally the head of a village on Yuhuan Island. Seeing that the government did not care about the lives of the people, he organized the young and middle-aged men in the village to arm themselves and guard Yuhuan.
They pried open the equipment warehouse abandoned by the government and obtained more than 30 sets of sophisticated equipment, including armor, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and shields.
The villagers were very determined to defend their homeland, but in the end they were outnumbered and annihilated by the Japanese pirates. He Jiuling knew that he could no longer prevent the fall of Yuhuan, so he took the remaining old, weak, women and children in the village and took a boat across the sea to Dalu Island.
He led everyone to build a stronghold, cut down giant trees, and set up fortifications on the only shoal so that no large Japanese ship with a deep draft could approach. As for the small Japanese ships with a shallow draft, they also had four arrow towers, so the Japanese pirates often had no time to disembark. When we landed, we were shot by random arrows and turned into hedgehogs.
Later, several other villages heard about Dalu Island's anti-Japanese deeds, and women continued to move there to escape the disaster. The strange atmosphere noticed by Feng Yeling and Shen Xinliu was not only because the island was filled with a sense of tense preparations for war, but also because of the intense tension among young people. The extreme scarcity of men in their prime.
There are nearly two hundred people on the island, but there are almost no young men. In addition to the vast majority of women, there are only elderly people, children, and injured or sick people. The fathers and brothers of the women , husbands and sons, almost all died at the hands of Japanese pirates, and a very small number of them were captured to do hard labor, which can be called lucky.
Da Chang is a typical example. Her parents-in-law, husband and two sons were all killed by Japanese pirates, and she was the only one who survived. She originally wanted to go back and fight the Japanese pirates, but was forcibly dragged to Dalu Island by other villagers.
"No wonder she harbors a huge hatred for the Japanese pirates." Lan Qiao sighed silently and said, "Did you find grandma later?"
"Grandpa and grandma got to know each other very smoothly." Feng Yeling nodded, "Grandma really likes me, so she wanted to make snacks for me at that time."
"That's right, who wouldn't like my Ling'er when they see her?" Lan Qiao seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time. "An old man who has lived alone for sixty years suddenly saw his former lover with such a lovely person. How could a person’s granddaughter not be moved, happy, or relieved when her granddaughter came to see her?”
"Yes." Feng Yeling still remembered what happened three months ago, and said with emotion: "Unfortunately, my grandpa and I had just sat down, and before we had time to talk to grandma, a rapid alarm sounded in the village.
