Chapter 38 Injury
Two wretched men flashed out from the dark ground, the smell of alcohol on Mao Dan's body was almost blown by the wind, he leaned over and whispered: "It's just tonight, brothers, two taels of silver per person."

"Is it only two taels of silver to kill someone?" One person thought it was too little.Maodan said seriously: "It's not murder, it's to push him into the water first and then rescue him, he will be half dead. Do you understand? Brother."

The man nodded to show his understanding, and the three of them went on the road together, and that man also felt that Maodan was full of murderous looks, and he was a very bad person.

The moon is dim tonight, and the place where the three of them go is by the river where the boatmen live.

A lamp like a bean shone in the small boat house of Amao's house.Boatmen live by water, and many families live on board.A small shed is built in the water on the shore, and the boat is moored in the shed in the water.

"Cough cough." Amao's father who was sleeping in the cabin coughed a few times in his dream, waking up the little boy Amao.He opened his eyes and saw that the oil lamp was on, and under the lamp, his mother, who was mending clothes, was sleeping on her stomach.

Amao got up and shook her: "Mother, you're going to waste lamp oil when you sleep like this." Amao Niang opened her sleepy eyes, smiled at her son, and there was a hint of vigilance on her tired face.

At the same time, Amao also heard that the sound of the water outside the boat was not right. It was not on the shore, but in the middle of the water. The sleeping Amao father also opened his eyes suddenly and called out: "Go out and have a look."

Amao Niang put down the needle and thread in her hand and turned to go, Amao jumped up and rushed out, Amao's father was listening outside with his body on his back, and two dark shadows appeared in the cabin wet.

"Ah! Come here." Amao Niang only had time to shout, and was pressed to the ground by a masked man covering her mouth.That thick hand almost made Amao Niang breathless.Seeing that Amao also pressed and covered her mouth, Amao Niang struggled desperately, she didn't have time to think about how this poor boat and ruined house would come to rob her, she only wanted to shout out desperately, but only uttered a few "huh".

The masked man was wearing a rope, which gagged Amao's mouth and tied it up, and tied up Amao Niang in the same way.As for Amao's father, he fainted from anger after only shouting for a while. He couldn't get up. Seeing his wife and son in front of his eyes, he was afraid that he would be killed.

Amao Niang, who was tied into rice dumplings, was struggling, and when she saw them approaching her husband, she cast pleading looks.

No one looked at her, and the two men who came also tied Amao's father's mouth and his hands. "Shooting or drowning?" one asked the other.

Another person thought about it seriously, and said: "If someone is killed, they will be investigated. They walk on the boat. There is a saying that all drowned people can swim. They tied their hands and pushed them into the water to drown. In the morning, the wind and waves Get up, don't know where it will float to feed the fish, it's none of our business."

Amao Niang was so frightened that she didn't dare to move any more, she just tried her best to think of an idea.She stared at her husband unrelentingly, because she was concerned about the small cabin and she could see clearly. Her husband's eyes moved, and a slit was exposed, giving her a wink.

Although these people are all made of water and come from water, they don't seem to understand water.When they bound people, they only bound their arms and wrapped their bodies like rice dumplings, but they didn't bind their legs. I don't know if they forgot on purpose.

Amao Niang understood, she didn't dare to move, and prayed in her heart, the gods, bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the past, let them just throw us three into the water.

As long as you don't tie your legs, you can still float and escape.

The two lifted up Amao's father one after the other, and one said: "Don't blame me when you die. You have a debt and a debtor. The customer thinks that you spend too much money on soup and medicine every day. You are not the only one who will end up. Go early." Reincarnation." While muttering, another person urged: "Hurry up, there's so much nonsense!"

The man hehe: "Brother, I'm flustered, don't rush."

There was a "plop", another sound, and the third sound was that little Amao was thrown down.Amao's father and Amao's mother breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Amao was also thrown down. The three members of the family couldn't move their hands and walked to the distance by stepping on the water.I didn't swim very far, and heard two splashes, it was those two people who also went into the water.

The moonlight was not very bright, and Dad Amao emerged from the water in the shadows. Seeing those two people swimming in the water and waving their arms vigorously, he sneered. No wonder they killed people like this without knowing how to tie their legs. wrong.

The three members of the family untied each other's ropes in the water, and Jiancai swam to a safe place in the middle of the night.The two murderers swam to the shore, and also landed in a secluded place. Mao Dan waited here with clean clothes and asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay. This family is full of people with good water skills. One year, when they rescued people who fell into the water, they held a person in each arm and came up just by kicking on the water." Lai Liu and Tian Qi came up trembling and looking for the shochu they brought.

Tian Qidao: "In autumn, ginger soup is the best." Maodan scolded him: "Drink you, it's not for nothing."

After they packed up and put away the wet clothes, Maodan whispered again: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to see the fun, so don't forget to help me out. And the day after tomorrow, I will take care of it properly. There is still money, one for each." two."

Tian Qi yawned lazily, and the autumn wind at night made him tighten his neck: "With such a small amount of money, I can't sleep yet. Let's go, the money will be delivered tomorrow, and our two brothers have to go back to sleep."

The three broke up and each found a place to sleep beautifully.The next day was bright, Tian Qi and Lei Liu met up, bought meat buns on the street to drink, and walked all the way to Zhou's house to eat.

Before arriving in front of Zhou's house, he saw that the street was blocked.Tian Qi smiled at Lai Liu, and chose to stop at the door of someone else's house, watching the excitement in a calm manner.

The street was surrounded by boatmen. Amao Niang knelt at the door of Zhou's house, her head hit the ground with a "bang bang" sound: "Heaven and earth conscience, if I say a word wrong, I will die a terrible death!" Crying loudly: "Black-hearted businessmen, indeed all profiteers are profiteers! I slept until midnight last night. This week, the Zhou family found some bad guys who quietly pushed our boat to the middle of the river, tied up all three of our family and threw them into the water. The Emperor Heavenly Bodhisattva Bless you, you were lucky enough to not be drowned. The surname Zhou, your family will suffer a terrible death for doing such an outrageous thing!"

She cried and cursed, and the neighbors also came out to persuade her. She knelt on the ground and swore, making everyone believe her.The boatmen who came with her quit. They still had something in their hands, and they all raised their hands angrily: "Go to the Yamen! People from the Zhou family, come out quickly, and don't come out and smash the door again!"

In the gate, Feng Luan was behind the door, trembling, her sleeves were torn, she just went out to answer a question, she was torn and beaten several times by Amao Niang.She is a little girl, no match for a middle-aged woman, Lai'an and Zhou Zhong were also beaten before they rescued Feng Luan.Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Zhong asked Lai'an to resist, and he went out through the back door to beat drums in the Yamen to find the Yamen servant.
