Poor family mother and son

Chapter 513
Xiao Bao was tongue-tied.

That’s all for the magpie, folks say that “when the magpie chirps, good luck will come”, they think that the magpie is a bird of good luck and a symbol of good luck and blessing.

But what's the matter with the crow?

Many people don't like crows. They think their feathers are all black. Not only are they not beautiful, but their calls are also very unpleasant.

Besides, crows are carrion-eating animals.

They will not only eat carrion of animals, but even human carrion, so this is why people often see crows in places where there are wars.

Therefore, people also call the crow the "bird of death", thinking that misfortune will happen wherever it appears.

Shui Xiaomao said: "Look! She is all black, domineering and noble. The thick dark color penetrates into the body with the infiltration of the years, gathering elegance, momentum and vitality in the body, and floating to the feathers. There is no color that can match the crow. s color!"

Is it because Shui Xiaomao is white all over, has been hated by people for a long time, and is not confident?
"Why did you drive away 'Little Gangan'?" Xiaobao asked.

Shui Xiaomao: "I'm doing it for its own good! Magpies and crows are both irritable, especially if they are in gangs. I'm afraid that 'Xiao Gangan' will be bullied by them."

"Cut!" Xiaobao retorted: "My 'Little Gangan' stretches out its wings, and you are five big birds like you, so you are afraid of them!"

Shui Xiaomao: "Don't believe it, one-on-one, even your 'Little Gangan' may not be able to win."

Shui Maomao came over and said to Shui Xiaomao: "You will understand once you fight with him."

Shui Xiaomao said "Okay!" and punched Xiaobao.

You're welcome!
Shui Xiaomao was smaller than Xiaobao, and even shorter in stature. Xiaobao didn't want to hurt him, so he tied his arms and legs when he fought.

But from Shui Xiaomao's point of view, Xiaobao is really not difficult to beat.

What this group of kids learned from Shui Maomao is "life-saving tricks", that is to say, they have no scruples in fighting, even if they can't kill you, they still have to hate you to death.

For example, plucking hair, picking eyeballs, scratching neck, sticking nostrils, breaking fingers... Seek every stitch, even if you can't gain the upper hand, you still want to let the opponent see blood.

It is said that this is called "breaking the armor", that is, even if the opponent breaks a little bit of skin, it will cast a shadow on the opponent's heart.

Although Xiaobao and the soldiers have also learned a lot of battlefield killing moves, they are really not as "shameless" as Shui Xiaomao.

Xiaobao was so angry that he yelled "Wow", "Xiao Mao, you you you you!"

Finally, he held Shui Xiaomao down, and put his arms behind his back. Unexpectedly, Shui Xiaomao yelled: "I'm being bullied", and the sophomore, three, four, five, six and seven, Mao Mao surrounded him with a playful smile, making Xiaobao flustered .

Shui Maomao was delighted to see the children fighting together, "See, that's how magpies and crows fight with eagles!"

Xiaobao was not convinced: "Isn't it shameless!"

Shui Maomao slapped his thigh: "Adversary! Fighting, what kind of face do you want!"

These children grew up being rejected and bullied, and Shui Maomao taught them self-defense since they could walk—it is not allowed to actively bully others, but passive bullying is allowed.

And be united.

Fighting, there is no one-on-one rule, they are a whole, if they want to fight, they have to fight together, even if they are injured, they have to be together.

If they are not united, who else can protect them?

The effect of this kind of education is the same as that of magpies and crows.

That's why they train magpies and crows as helpers.

Hou Ze crossed his arms and said, "It's not just them, we are also the same."

This is talking about the gang members of the boat gang.

Don't think there are many of them, but they are fierce, just because they have something to do together.

Each class has its own rules of survival, Xiaobao understands.

He and Chu Qing are actually like this, the two of them knew each other well at the beginning that they were not biological, but they still depended on each other for life, apart from the reason for the intimacy that Xiaobao couldn't explain, maybe it was because of unity that they could survive.

And after the soldiers joined, even if Chu Qing didn't make a clear request, the soldiers automatically formed the same united survival mode, because they took care of each other in this way on the battlefield.

Therefore, unity is strength.

That power will be on display tonight.

After arguing with everyone for a while, Xiaobao took out the waterway map, pointed to a figure representing the water area on it, and there were three pen characters "Dazezi" in the figure, and said: "This is Dazezi. Xiaomao just said that Meng Chun Change ships here for loading."

Looking at the sky again, he said, "It's past Xu time, if they set off now, they will arrive at Guandu after Chou time;

It was the most sleepy time for people, and the ship inspection was also lax, so it was easy for them to get away with it. I guess they would choose to set off now instead of waiting until tomorrow;
So, between Dazezi and Guandu, there are two ferries, here and here; "Xiaobao pointed to the two ferries: "Xiaomaogang Ferry and Tenglong Ferry, which way do you think they will go? "

Between Dazezi and Guandu, there are two river courses, each of which merges into the canal at the end, and Guandu is located at the junction of the merger.

The distance between the two rivers is about the same, and both have a ferry, one has a Xiaomaogang ferry, and the other has a Tenglong ferry.

This is the first real cooperation with Chuanbang. Xiaobao hopes to show his ability and convince everyone.

But Xiaobao can understand the waterway map, but he has not visited these places himself, so he needs everyone's help as a consultant.

No need to look at the picture, just relying on the names of the two ferries, Shui Maomao said: "They won't go to the Xiaomao Port Ferry, it is a relatively calm water area, and the underwater silt is heavy and varies in depth, so it is not suitable for large boats. "

In Xiaomaogang, the word "Mao" itself indicates that it is a relatively calm small lake. The range is not very large, and the calmness also indicates that the water depth may not be enough.

Hou Ze also said: "It would be great if we could go there, it's a good place for us."

The other men laughed.

The area around Xiaomao Harbor is their favorite place. There are many fish, the wind and waves are small, and the underwater silt is thick. It is a rare place for "planting aquatic plants".

Shui Maomao said: "I bet they go to Tenglong Ferry, where the river is wide, and they have a lot of cargo and heavy ships, so it's easier to advance and retreat there."

Everyone also agreed: "There is less rain this year, and the water in Xiaomao Harbor is also much shallower."

Xiaobao felt that what everyone said was reasonable, but he also had doubts: "But the Xiaomao Port Ferry is a private ferry, and no one has checked it. What if they choose this way?"

Hou Ze said: "That's okay, let a few brothers go over there to guard. If they really go there, Xiaomao has two teams to deliver letters. Brothers can drag their boats."

Towing a boat is commonplace for Shui Maomao and Hou Ze.

As long as the weather permits, merchant ships generally choose to sail at night.

If the private ferryman's business is not good during the day, he will intercept the passing merchant ships at night, sell some fruits and vegetables, fish and shrimp to them, and earn some small money to supplement his family.

Shui Mao Mao and the others, regardless of whether the business is good or not, as long as they are nearby, they will definitely intercept the ship. If the bow of the ship can talk, then sell them some fresh fruits and vegetables or dry food.

If they speak bad words, they will forcefully buy and sell them a bunch of rotten fish and rotten shrimps; if there are those who are ignorant, or if they happen to be transported by human traffickers to transport women and children, they will simply take away all their money and those who should be released. , The wicked are all "planted" into the water.

Unknowingly, the legend of "water ghosts doing good deeds" has been left in this area.

It's just that it's hard to say how much of the silt at the bottom of the lake is made of the rotting flesh of these villains.
