Daming Haikou

Chapter 42 Investigation

The boat quietly and slowly leaned against the shore, and there was a crescent moon in the sky, which made it possible to see the scenery quite far away even at night.

The waves were beating against the rocks by the sea, making a constant crashing sound, which just blocked the sound of the boat approaching the shore, making it almost impossible for Yu Xiaotian's boat to attract anyone's attention when it docked.

According to Yu Xiaotian's order, the boat did not light a single lamp, relying on Ma Lian and others' familiarity with this area of ​​the sea, the boat sailed here, and with the help of the moonlight, the boat docked at this secluded place.

They set off in the evening, and after a period of sailing, the sky gradually darkened. Under the cover of night, the ship quietly approached the land and sailed towards this place.

Ma Lian and the others are very familiar with the terrain along the coast, and Liu Laoliu is even more familiar with the situation along the coast of Funing, so it is not difficult for them to find a secluded place to dock.

After the boat docked, Yu Xiaotian immediately jumped off the boat and took Heitou and others to tie the boat to the shore, but they didn't drop anchor. In case of any situation, they could quickly cut the cable and drive the boat away from the shore .

Yu Xiaotian checked the things on his body, tied the straw sandals on his feet tightly, and there was nothing wrong with the water bag and dry food, so he turned his head and said to Liu Laoliu who sent him off: "You guys leave here in a while. , find a place to wait at sea, come here to pick us up at this time tomorrow!"

Liu Laoliu held Yu Xiaotian's hand with trembling lips, and said after a while: "You guys have to be careful! We will pick you up on time tomorrow at this time!"

Yu Xiaotian smiled, showing his beautiful big white teeth, nodded and said: "It's okay, this time I'm going with Uncle Ma just to check the situation in Jiang's compound first, to find out if Erya is It's locked in the Jiang family compound! As long as you're careful, nothing will happen! Don't worry, Uncle Six!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense, he greeted Ma Mian, Heitou and Zhao Mazi, and strode ashore towards the land.

Although this is the first time he has set foot on the mainland since he came to this world, Yu Xiaotian didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, it was a bit like before he was about to enter the boxing ring, the adrenaline began to increase and he became energetic. tensed up.

He didn't come to land sightseeing this time, but he wanted to check the situation of Jiang's compound with Ma Face and the others first, and then return to the boat to determine the next course of action.

Even though he has never been a soldier, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know how pigs go if he hasn’t eaten pork. Later generations are full of screens and various military-themed novels, which let him learn a lot about military operations. Things, so even if it is a picture of a cat and a tiger, at least it is much more thoughtful than the bumpkins like Ma Lian and the others!

His plan for landing this time is to wait for a few people who are familiar with the land situation in this area with a horse face, and first go to Dongshan Village to inquire about the news about Erya. According to the situation of the hospital, make full intelligence preparations for the next move, and then strive to enter Jiang's house in one fell swoop, rescue Er Ya, and find a safe way to retreat to the seaside to board the ship as quickly as possible, and return to the sea go.

This plan is simple to say, but it is not easy to implement. After all, his appearance is different from ordinary people, and he is not suitable to appear in the eyes of ordinary people on land. Otherwise, it will easily alarm Jiang Baihu who controls this area. If it's not good, let alone scare the snake away, even he may be arrested in this area.

So he has to be more careful, but Yu Xiaotian has to come, after all, he is in charge of this matter this time, which is very important for him in the future, if he does well, he will become a blockbuster and completely become a member of this group. He is the backbone of a person, but if he fails, he will have to take full responsibility. It will not be easy to gain the trust of these people in the future, and he proposed the plan. If he does not go ashore, then it is his heart He has no idea, and the second is that he is afraid that this group of people will not accept him. He must not use other people's hands to complete this matter, so he has to take this risk.

This area is a relatively remote place along the coast, and the surrounding area is basically surrounded by mountains and hills. In addition to the policy of banning the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and the impact of the Japanese invasion in the early years, the population in this area is relatively sparse. But in essence, the defenses are loose. For Ma Lian and the others who have lived here for a long time, it is not a problem at all to find a passage to enter.

There are no mountain villages nearby, and there is no Ming army stationed there. It is a very suitable place to sneak in. Under the leadership of the horse face, everyone quickly found a narrow path in the mountains, and then took advantage of the moonlight above their heads. Head inland.

Yu Xiaotian walked among the few people without saying a word, constantly looking around with the help of moonlight, observing the terrain in this area, and trying to memorize it in his heart as much as possible for emergencies.

In terms of remembering roads, Yu Xiaotian thinks that he is pretty good. Most of the time, as long as he walks the road once, even if he walks again after a few years, he can still find the original road. It's a bit difficult, the surroundings are mountains, the terrain is very similar, and it's night, the sight can't be far away, and basically there are no markers on the trail for him to remember, so after turning around for a while, he turned a little bit, okay There is still the moon in the sky, which allows him to somewhat overcome the problem of turning, but it is obviously a bit difficult for him to force this trail.

Finally, after walking for about an hour, Yu Xiaotian finally gave up the idea of ​​remembering the road and let the horse face lead the way. Tian and his party had no choice but to start smearing, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"It's here, and further ahead is Dongshan Village. Jiang Baihu's house is just ahead. If you see it, there is Dongshan. After you go up, you can see the Jiang family compound. Let's break up here. I and Zhao Mazi went to find someone to inquire about the news, and Heitou took you up the mountain, and we will come to find you tomorrow at night, and we are still meeting here, let's go back to the boat! You have to be careful, don't let anyone see you!" After walking for a while, everyone After going around a forest, the horse face suddenly stopped, pointed to the front and whispered to Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian stopped his steps immediately, and looked forward by the faint moonlight in the sky, a small mountain appeared in front of his eyes, and a large courtyard at the foot of the mountain was entrenched like a monster. At the foot of the mountain, there seems to be a faint light in the compound.

This compound should be the Jiang family compound. Not too far away from it, there seems to be a small mountain village hidden in the dark hills, but there is no light at all.

At night in this era, there are almost no entertainment items for common people. Those who have wives do bed exercises are probably the only entertainment items. Those without wives can only lie down and eat themselves. Many poor families can’t even light the lights. As soon as it gets dark, ordinary people turn off the lights early and go to bed to rest, and get up early the next morning to start a day of farming.

Only rich families light lanterns in the yard at night, so it is easy to tell who is rich at night. Jiang Baihu is one of the largest families within a radius of tens of miles, so his home is not only big in the yard, but also ostentatious. It is also relatively large, although it is already midnight at this time, but the lanterns are still lit in the yard, allowing people to identify his home from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian despised this guy surnamed Jiang, if it wasn't for the reduction of Japanese pirates in the past few years, the behavior of the Jiang family was simply pointing the way for Japanese pirates.

However, Yu Xiaotian nodded immediately and replied: "Okay! You should also be careful, try not to startle the snake, and spend some money, just spend a little, and try to find out where Erya is being locked up now! Our side Don't worry, we will hide on the mountain during the day, and no one will find out! Tomorrow at nine o'clock... Oh! No, it's the second watch at night, and we're still meeting here! Take care!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Xiaotian and Heitou immediately walked up the hill behind Dongshan Village, while Ma Mian and Zhao Mazi immediately turned around and fell into the darkness.

The sea breeze made the leaves rustle, and the black head led Yu Xiaotian up the hill behind Dongshan Village. When they climbed up the hill, they looked down. There was only a glimmer of light in the front yard of the Jiang family compound, and there was not much to see beyond that.

Yu Xiaotian took the black head and found a place on the mountain that was most suitable for observing the Jiang family compound and Dongshan Village below, and sat down. At this time of night, the temperature had begun to become cooler, and dew had formed on both of them, and the tide It is very uncomfortable to stick to the body, and there are many mosquitoes on the mountain at night, and there are mosquitoes buzzing around them all the time, which makes people very annoying. I endured it.

Because of the long distance and the fact that the moon was covered by clouds after midnight, it was as if a cauldron had been put on the sky and the earth. It was pitch black, except for the faint light from the Jiang family courtyard in the distance. Although Yu Xiaotian tried his best, he couldn't see the situation of the whole Jiang family compound clearly.

After the black head arrived in the middle of the night, he was already drowsy by leaning on the tree, Yu Xiaotian didn't care about him, but climbed up a big tree and observed carefully, but the light was too dim, making His efforts were in vain.

Suddenly Yu Xiaotian's heart moved, he slid down the big tree and slapped the black head awake, the black head might be dreaming, after being slapped awake, he suddenly jumped up, opened his mouth and wanted to yell, but was grabbed by Yu Xiaotian He covered his mouth and pressed to the ground.

"Don't sleep! Just keep an eye here, I'll go down and have a look! Whether there are dogs in the Jiang's compound is very important to us, I'll go outside his yard first and listen, you wait for me here!" After Xiaotian let go of his hand, he whispered instructions to Heitou.

Heitou had come to his senses now, and said quickly: "I'll go down with you, it's too dark today, I can't see anything here, it's too dark now, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you come up! Let's go together Good!"

It makes sense for Yu Xiaotian to hear it. The mountains are really too dark at the moment, and it is said that there are wolves on the mountains. Fujian is known as eight mountains, one water and one field. There are many mountains and wild animals. The development level is far less than that of the Central Plains. , It is indeed a bit dangerous for a person to be on the mountain.

So he agreed to Heitou's request, and the two of them cleaned up and immediately started to go down the mountain. It took a while to reach the outside of Jiang's compound.

Yu Xiaotian listened carefully to the movement in the yard, the night was very quiet, as long as there was movement in the yard, it could be heard far away, so this is also the best time for them to inquire about the Jiang family compound.

But the courtyard was very quiet, there was no sound at all. It seemed that everyone had already fallen asleep. Yu Xiaotian quickly ran under the courtyard wall and looked up. The courtyard wall was indeed very high, about four meters high, and the courtyard wall The wall is very strong, and the surface is very smooth. If you don't use tools, you can't climb at all, so don't think about easily climbing over the wall and entering the compound. It can be seen that the Jiang family's financial resources are quite large. Strong, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to build such a courtyard wall alone.

Following the background of the sky carefully, Yu Xiaotian observed the Jiang family compound. From his position, he could know that they are now outside the backyard of the Jiang family compound. There is an archery tower in the corner of the courtyard. At that time, there was no servant staying behind, and the watchtower was pitch-black, with no light or sound.

At this time, Heitou also cautiously approached, probably because the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it was too exhausting, Heitou was a little out of breath, leaning against the courtyard wall, gasping for breath, sticking to Yu Xiaotian's side, in the darkness He could only see his eyes clearly, Yu Xiaotian could see his nervousness from Heitou's eyes, so he nodded to him to show his encouragement.

Yu Xiaotian was also a little nervous at the moment, after all, this time it was about their lives, even though he was very courageous, he couldn't say he wasn't nervous at all, but he still managed to stabilize his emotions, after listening carefully for a while, Stretching out his hand to touch a stone on the ground, he raised his arms and threw the stone into the courtyard.

In the silence of the night, the sound of stones falling into the courtyard could be clearly heard, but no sound was heard after that.

Yu Xiaotian felt much relieved at this moment, thinking that Jiang Baihu is really arrogant. With such a large family property, there is not even a dog in the yard. This is really a great help to him.

Yu Xiaotian is not very worried about the surprise attack on the Jiang family's compound. In his opinion, as long as he can sneak into the compound and catch the Jiang family by surprise, they are very likely to succeed. The most difficult thing is not to alarm Before the Jiang family entered the compound, if the Jiang family had a dog, it would be very difficult to easily sneak into his courtyard.

Although he has many ways to deal with the dog, but if he wants to get rid of the watchdog without any movement, then with his current ability, it is very difficult to do so.

Now, after confirming that the Jiang family did not have a dog, Yu Xiaotian became more confident, so he immediately walked around the Jiang family compound carefully with his black head, and carefully observed the Jiang family compound After that, he quietly retreated back to the mountain again.

Although he was very worried about Erya right now, and wished he could jump over the wall and rescue Erya immediately, but because he was still not sure that Erya was in this courtyard, Yu Xiaotian still held back Overwhelmed by this impulse, he dispelled the idea.

While doing everything, Heitou held his breath and did not dare to let out a sigh of relief. He carefully followed Yu Xiaotian around the Jiang family compound, seeing Yu Xiaotian being bold and careful, Heitou was even more I have to admire him, from Heitou's point of view, although he was very dissatisfied with Yu Xiaotian when he first met him, but after so many days of getting to know him, he realized that there are too many things in him that are different from him. Not Yu Xiaotian, although he was a little discouraged by this, but he still had to admit it.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Yu Xiaotian and Heitou both climbed up a big tree, tied themselves to the big tree with cloth strips, and covered their bodies with branches and leaves, and then squinted for a while.

When the sun shines on Xiaotian's eyelids through the gaps between the leaves, Yu Xiaotian wakes up from his sleep. At this time, the sky is already bright, and people's voices have already begun to appear from the foot of the mountain.

Yu Xiaotian untied the cloth strips tied to his body, took a drink of water, took out a piece of dry food and ate a little, turned his head and saw that Heitou was still drooling and sleeping on a big tree branch Xiang, couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, thinking that this guy's nerves are really big enough, he can fall asleep under any circumstances, people like Heitou, don't look at the usual bluffing, in fact, they are serious He is not the kind of person who has a city in his chest.

Pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, Yu Xiaotian began to look down the mountain condescendingly...
