When Wang Genbao saw those people, his excitement was extinguished again…It was a group of Bodhisattvas who came out in the morning! They had their own ship…
However, Genbao still saw something he wanted to see. The group of " Bodhisattvas " had just left the village entrance when a small wooden boat with a flat bottom came over from the mouth of the river. It made a sound that he had never heard before, and then it dragged a long stream of water behind the boat. The " Bodhisattva " sitting on it was not seen rowing the boat. In a short while, it was leaning against the wooden bridge!
The man was dressed differently from the locals. He was dressed in colorful clothes, but he didn't have any braids. However, he was totally different from the people in the temple. Genbao believed in his own eyes! Who said that they were cultivators?
It didn't take long for the group of " Bodhisattvas " to arrive at the dock. Genbao found that the boxes they brought in the morning were gone. It seemed that they had left them in the slums. He wondered what they had brought in there. Who knew which lucky person had gotten their things again…
Seeing Gen Bao, these Bodhisattvas greeted him warmly. Some called him their hometown, while others nodded at him with a smile. They looked very friendly. Gen Bao opened his eyes wide and bowed to the others. He wanted to see more clearly, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see how the patch was fixed!
After that, the group of " Bodhisattvas " jumped onto the boat briskly. From their skills, it was obvious that they had dealt with boats for many years. Moreover, these people were carrying flat guns that were half the length of a shotgun. At the top of the barrel, one could see a short knife hidden. It seemed that this was the weapon these " Bodhisattvas " used!
Each Bodhisattva had a leather belt tied around their waist, with some unknown items on them…They looked so energetic that Genbao was envious. He touched the cloth on his waist and thought that he would make a belt like this in the future!
The more Genbao looked at it, the more surprised he became. Just these unknown things were already confusing enough. Needless to say, there must be more secrets that he did not know! How did he know? However, it was precisely because of this that it showed that these people were powerful!
Then, he watched the small wooden boat, which was full of people, leave the dock quickly with a roar, leaving a long white spray behind it. Under Genbao's dumbfounded gaze, it sailed towards the few boats that were parked in the bay.
Genbao suddenly jumped up happily. Ship! Ships could be built like this! It turned out that through the white spray, he suddenly realized that there must be something under the water pushing the boat forward! Where could such a ship not go? No wonder those ships didn't use sails! He was too happy! Not only did he think of the reason why the ship was moving forward, but he also realized that the "Bodhisattvas" who made this ship were right in front of him!
Just as he was happy, someone beside him was unhappy.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you deaf or something?!! Why did he change to such a person to ferry?”
The shout of reality finally pulled Genbao back! He still had to pull them across the river! In the midst of his excitement, he was flustered and flustered, causing the people on the boat to break out in cold sweat. They all pointed at him and cursed, asking if he knew how to sail a boat. Did he want to drown them until Genbao apologized and explained again and again? But he didn't want the money anymore!
After all this trouble, Genbao had also woken up. Just because someone could make and use it didn't mean that he could do it too! What was that thing that was making a sound? He didn't understand. At that time, he didn't go to take a look. Now, he entered a state of regret again, making him look like a mentally unstable person. He was happy when he was awake, and worried when he was confused.
He thought of the few people who had crossed the river just now. They said that they wanted to go back and report and get someone else to ferry them. Wasn't this a boost to his plan to rely on this ferry to collect information? And the strangest thing today was that he had been guarding the ferry for an entire day, but there were only a few people who could be counted on one's fingers from the beginning to the end. In the end, there was even a Tiantong! If he didn't do it well, he might not be able to come here tomorrow!
While he was worrying about his gains and losses, Genbao welcomed the sunset in the west. When the stars were on duty, he went to the leader's house to hand in his oars. He even reported to the leader that there were only a few people crossing the river today. The leader didn't say anything and even warmly asked him to continue tomorrow... Only then did he feel a little better about being fired the next day.
Then, he returned home with a stomach full of confusion and hunger! As soon as he entered the door, before Genbao could tell him what had happened today, his servant was already laughing at him.
"Is it because it's your first time going there today that he took special care of you and is very free?”
Genbao looked helpless.
"Sigh! Don't mention it! Ever since I sent Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Tang across the river this morning, I've been sitting there empty-handed! There are quite a few people crossing the river, but none of them took my boat. By the way, those people without braids and wearing strange clothes, are they the "Bodhisattva" masters you mentioned?”
Before his wife could reply, he suddenly came to a realization and asked,
"What's wrong? You know everything? What happened? Quickly tell me!"
"Of course I know-I have a telescope! Hahaha, I see you sitting there with nothing to do!”
"Don't talk nonsense! Tell me, what happened?”
" Look at how anxious you are…You're already hungry…Let's eat first, Xiaolin…" Xiao Lin! This child, your father is back! It's time for dinner!"
"Where did this child go?" When she didn't hear the child's reply, Lady Gen Bao shouted to Gen Bao as she went out of the house,""You don't have to wait. Eat first. I'll call him back!”
"No need, let's eat together later."
In fact, this treasure was not thinking about eating. The white waves kept appearing in front of his eyes…
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door.
"Xiaolin…Xiao Lin! It's time for dinner!"
Following a series of "Coming, coming!" said Genbao. He saw his child running in excitedly. Before he could ask anything, the child said,
"Father! You're back!"
"En! Where did you go? You're already so old. It's so late, yet you don't know how to go home?”
The child said a little excitedly,
"Father! I'm watching the foreign gun that his father gave out in Afu's house! Many people were watching! That spear was so long! Higher than me!"
"What are you looking at at so late?"
Genbao, who was casually replying, suddenly couldn't believe his ears.
"What is it? What foreign gun? Where did he come from?"
Before the child could say anything, his wife continued,
"It's all because of those Bodhisattvas. Oh, now they're called the Zhoushan Self-Defense Regiment! You were at the dock, so you naturally didn't know that everyone was watching these Bodhisattvas train some self-defense group today, so no one went to the county town at all. Therefore, I knew that you must have nothing to do today!”
His wife explained to him and urged everyone to eat quickly.
"Alright, alright, you're all like ancestors. Hurry up and eat. If you have anything to say, wait until you're done eating!”
Genbao was obviously a little reluctant, but he was indeed hungry, so he had to put everything else aside.
"Alright, alright, let's eat first…Time to eat!"
With a belly full of questions, Genbao didn't even pay attention to what he was eating. After he finished eating and washed up, he couldn't wait to ask. His wife told him what happened in the shantytown that day.
Qing Genbao didn't know that the Zhoushan Self-Defense Regiment had gathered the people who had signed up yesterday and organized the training. He interrupted them. After a long conversation, Genbao finally understood what was going on. It seemed that the Zhoushan Self-Defense Regiment was organizing the people here for training!
However, his wife had only seen the surface of it. She only knew that they had divided the people into more than ten small pieces and practiced alone.
"I heard them say that such a small team is called a squad! The leader of the team was called the class monitor, and this class monitor was chosen by the subordinates! Just like how we chose the team leader and village chief yesterday!”
"Oh! This should be what they called it, but the number of people was slightly larger than that of the imperial court's Green Camp! Then what do they train?"
"We didn't practice much. What we saw was how to stand, how to turn left and right, how to walk. Standing meant that everyone had to stand in unison. You don't know how stupid the people in the village are. They don't even know the direction. Sometimes, they even bump into each other and make a lot of jokes!
At first, not many people went to watch, but later on, the entire village and district gathered around to watch. This way, there was a comparison! Some people followed to see if their own people had made a mistake. Sometimes, they even shouted to remind them. There were also some who watched if the people in the other groups had made a mistake. If they made a mistake, everyone would cheer!
Xixi, it was extremely lively. It was even more lively than the New Year! Everyone acted like they were watching a show and forgot to do anything. Later, the village chief even organized everyone and sent people to inform them about whose children did well and who was criticized. Everyone was still comparing each other.
He heard from the village chief that those who did well could be promoted! That rich guy became the class monitor. He heard that he did very well and was given a foreign gun!”
"Oh, then go and see if the village chief asked you to go or if you went on your own?”
"Everyone wanted to go and watch it themselves. The village chief was afraid that something would happen, so he organized it later.”
"Then do they have any disciplinary requirements?”
"I heard from them that their discipline is very strict. If they participate in the future, they will have to abide by the three rules and six precautions! Right now, they were only letting everyone know that there was such a rule, but it had not been implemented yet.
I only heard one of them say that all actions must follow orders! He couldn't do whatever he wanted! If you want to know more, I'll ask around tomorrow, okay?”
"I think you should help me ask if you have the chance. How are the foreigners in the city now? Let's see how close these people are to the British. If they kill the British too, and the place has been occupied by them, then we can take the opportunity to go to the north to look for uncle's body... They shouldn't make things difficult for us, right?”
"En! I know! He had been here for almost three months, but he had never had the chance to go over! I know you're anxious, but you have to be careful! The people you found only said nice things, but haven't you seen anything yet?”
"They are indeed here to kill the British! I've heard about this very clearly. It's just that a lot of their strength has been eliminated by the government, so that boss is much more careful when he takes action now…
"Besides, my uncle is considered a government official. Although they respect him for dying in battle while killing the Englishman, they still have a knot in their hearts. We don't have much money, and it's already good enough for them to agree. As the old saying goes, it's better to ask for help than to ask for help. Now that there's such an opportunity, I'll ask more information at the dock. If you have the chance, help me ask more…"
"Good! I know! If I didn't respect your uncle…I wouldn't have come with you…"
"En! I'm sorry! The one who made you suffer so much…"
"Dead man! You only know how to be sweet with your mouth…"
……
After a while, there was no sound in the straw shed…
