"I know." The cobbler smiled and seemed very calm.
"The purpose of me twisting the rope is not only to climb the mountain, but the most important thing is to use this rope to tie my body and go into the sea. Haha, I won't see people alive, but I will see the body after death."
Yun Er only glanced at the cobbler and immediately understood that this guy was not joking. If he couldn't find his wife and children on Salmon Island today, he would really jump into the sea to retrieve the bones.
Seeing that he was ready, Yun Er let out a long sigh and asked the boat boss to take his group to Salmon Island in a small boat.
"I shed tears when I see Salmon Island. I see only living people entering and no living people leaving..." No one understands why the cobbler is in the mood to sing at this time. He sings this desolate song with a hoarse voice. No matter who listens to it,
Feeling a little heavy.
The big guy casually and quietly approached the cobbler, and didn't stop until he surrounded him. The atmosphere in the caravan seems to be wrong recently. There was an old shopkeeper who committed suicide by drinking potion in the past, and something is wrong with the cobbler now. These people are all used by the family.
A living person, even if he is going to die, should die in a useful place and cannot die in a daze, as that would be a great loss to the family.
The cobbler turned back and smiled at the big man: "Don't worry, I won't commit suicide no matter what. The second young master helped me like this. How can he die without repaying his kindness?"
If my wife and children are really no longer alive, in the future, any dirty or dirty work at home, including dismembering bodies, skinning and other tasks, will be handed over to me. I will definitely do it properly, even if I am thrown away in the future.
The people are angry when they go out, and I promise not to say a word at the end of the song."
The big guy swallowed hard and said, "My family won't do things like quartering and skinning. We are a martial arts family."
The cobbler chuckled and said, "I know better than you whether I have done this before..."
Hearing what the cobbler said, the big man carefully leaned against the side of the boat, held on to the railing tightly, and kept beating in his heart. Could it be that these things have really been done at home?
The sea surface around Salmon Island has many rocks, so when the waves hit the rocks, the entire island is like a boiling pot, with snow-white breaking waves everywhere. The breaking waves have no time to dissipate, and will immediately be filled with fishy smell.
The tide of flavor covers it again.
The boat drove carefully between the dark rocks. If you were not careful, the boat would be hit by the waves and hit to pieces.
The boat zigzagged forward for half an hour, and finally arrived at the edge of the water village on Salmon Island. It was quiet on the water village, and no one could be seen. The big man took out the big flag with the word "Yun" from the bag and hung it.
In the most conspicuous position, prepare a high-calling door.
With a bad smile, Yun Er took off a gunpowder bomb from Boss Yan, lit it, and threw it to the gate of the water village. He heard a boom, and the first wooden fence used to prevent the wind became
Falling apart.
Immediately afterwards, a rapid bell rang from the arrow tower of the water village. A large number of panicked soldiers rushed out of the house and soon covered the walls of the water village. A Yuhou carefully poked his head out from the battlements.
Look, he shouted loudly: "Who is here, dares to peek into the important place of the imperial court!"
"You are blind and cannot see Grandpa's flag. Open the door quickly. If you delay Grandpa's important event, I will throw you into the sea in a moment."
The big guy opened his mouth to curse, and the Yuhou who was scolding was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was a big flag with the word "Yun" hanging on the boat. He naturally recognized this flag. The Yun family never came to Salmon Island to pick up people, but he didn't recognize the flag.
know somebody.
Just as he was about to ask the other party to produce evidence to prove his identity, he saw a man in white standing on the bow of the boat and said in a loud voice: "Di Laosan, get out, I'm here to see you."
"Why are you shouting? I saw it was you a long time ago. I was planning to scare you with a crossbow, but instead you threw gunpowder bombs at me. Damn it, I was planning to stand by the fence just now."
Di Yong's slender figure appeared on the edge of the water village, cursing and holding a powerful crossbow in his hand.
"Kaishui Village, the bastards have recognized it clearly. The person coming from the opposite side is a big shot. The second son of the Yun family was also an unstoppable hero in Tokyo City. He had a notorious bad temper. If he didn't serve him well, he would be killed by others.
Say I didn’t explain my words clearly.”
As he spoke, he burst out laughing and rushed down from the water stronghold. After staying in this ghost place for more than a year, he saw either those ghost-like prisoners or the jailer who had no support for a long time. He was almost going crazy.
, Yun Er's visit made him ecstatic.
A dozen jailers struggled to turn the winch, and the heavy water village gate slowly rose. Yun Er discovered that the gate was made of iron bars woven and then riveted together with huge rivets. The surface was stained with rust. Some said
The eerie feeling of not coming out.
"This is the Qianjin Gate of the water village. It will not fall into the water. Unless the soldiers on the archery tower find a ship approaching, or there is chaos on the island, the Qianjin Gate will be lowered. It takes sixty breaths for the Qianjin Gate to rise and fall.
It only takes thirty breaths, and there are 60 people guarding the winch, divided into three groups, and they stay with people day and night, so it is difficult to be captured." The cobbler explained the structure of this place to Yun Er in a low voice. He has a deep understanding of Salmon Island over the years.
After the Qianjin Gate was raised, a narrow waterway appeared in front of Yun Er. The light reflected by the dark sea water inside and the cliffs on both sides seemed to be squeezing toward the middle under the reference of the water flow.
The two sailors took out the oars and slowly rowed the boat into the waterway. The cobbler looked at the cliffs on both sides and said: "This waterway is seventy-three feet long. It was originally a crack. There was no such waterway during the reign of Emperor Taizu. It was under Emperor Taizong.
It was only widened during the 1960s. There are also twelve deer and firewood towers built on both sides of the cliff. Archers and crossbowmen are stationed all year round. There are four people in a squad, a total of forty-eight people. If you want to pass this waterway, you have to go through strong crossbow shooting.
, hit by boulders, and once the person fails to pass through the water channel within thirty breaths of time, the water channel will be covered with fierce fire oil, and then he will be burned alive by the fire."
Yun Er looked at the distance of the waterway and smiled: "It is impossible for thirty breaths to pass through this waterway."
The cobbler shook his head and said: "It is possible that there is a drinking water lake on Shamen Island. A large amount of clear water gushes out of the bottom of the lake all the time. There is only a sluice between the drinking water lake and this waterway. Whenever the water level of the drinking water lake is higher than
When the water level of the sluice is ten feet high, they will open the sluice and release the water. At this time, with the help of the power of the water flow, it is possible to pass through the waterway in thirty breaths.
It just requires a lot of gunpowder to blow up the water gate."
Yun Er said in surprise: "Have you ever been to Salmon Island?"
The cobbler shook his head and said, "No, but I still got the topographic map of Salmon Island. I got it from Prince Xin's Mansion."
Yun Er smiled and said: "That must have happened a long time ago. What did you do with the drawings of Salmon Island? Your wife and children were not on Salmon Island at that time."
The cobbler looked at Di Yong who was cheering for joy at the end of the waterway, and said in Yun Er's ear: "Actually, the topographic map of Salmon Island is just a passing thing. I also have the drawings of the palace in my hand, including the drawings of secret passages, dungeons, and treasure houses.
.”
Yun Er's eyes widened and he glanced at the cobbler in surprise.
The cobbler smiled bitterly and said: "Now you understand why I was hunted down by King Xin and the Secret Service? The world only knows that I had an affair with the concubine of King Xin's palace. Who would know the real reasons that made me flee the world."
Yun Er seemed not to have heard that the palace map was in the cobbler's hand, and asked with a smile: "You didn't really kidnap King Xin's concubine, did you?"
The cobbler smiled and said: "Although my status is not high and I don't have much education, my family motto of etiquette, justice and integrity I dare not violate.
Mrs. Mei and I are close friends. We were childhood sweethearts. We got engaged at the age of thirteen and got married at the age of sixteen. We have all three matchmaking certificates and six certificates. We have worshiped heaven and earth and paid homage to the high hall. We are a real married couple. How can we steal it?
People say it?"
Yun Er nodded and said: "What you said is more credible than what King Xin said. There is basically no bottom line for rich people to be shameless. Please stop talking for a while, and I will help you ask about the whereabouts of Mrs. Mei and your son.
"
Seeing the boat sail out of the waterway, Yun Er focused on Di Yong, who was jumping around like a monkey, and whispered to the cobbler.
The cobbler walked away knowingly, and Yun Er put on a big smile. He jumped out of the boat before the boat docked at the pier, hugged Di Yong, and the two of them hugged and spun around in circles laughing.
After laughing, the two let go in embarrassment. Di Yong smiled and said, "What are you doing on the boat? You can't hear me even if I call loudly."
Yun Er took off his white fur and threw it to the big guy who was following him: "I can't help it. I'm just happy to see you. Seeing that the entrance to the Salmon Island you're guarding is tightly guarded, I can't help but think about how to break through the door."
!”
Di Yong laughed and said: "We are really brothers. Did you know that this was what I was thinking about when I first came here, but after careful consideration, I found it impossible.
Salmon Island is surrounded by the sea, and three of them are surrounded by seventy-foot-high cliffs. I have tested it and found that the rocks on the cliffs are covered with moss and are slippery, making it impossible to climb."
Yun Er smiled and said: "Isn't there another side? Isn't it just the other side if I go to it? I have gunpowder bombs, so I can just hit them hard."
Di Yong laughed and said: "Let's go have a drink first. After we drink, I will take you to the most beautiful beach on Salmon Island to go fishing. Then you will know that the last side is more difficult to escape than the other three sides."
Yun Er saw Di Yong dragging him striding towards the water village, and quickly stopped and said: "Don't be busy drinking now, I have something to do when I come to Salmon Island, can I take two people away?"
Di Yong smiled and said: "You have nothing to say since you are here. As long as you don't mention those royal families who are going to commit crimes, you can mention the rest. I'll just report a death from a sudden illness."
Yun Er said: "A woman and a half-year-old boy. As for the royal family's important criminal you mentioned, just let his bones rot on the island. Anyway, he has already enjoyed it."
Di Yong called over a camp manager, gave two instructions, and asked him to take a big man and a cobbler to the island to find someone. He and Yun Er went to Di Yong's residence for a drink with a smile on his face. (To be continued)
