After the Legend Chapter 80: 200 meters of horizon

The boat was stopped, and a group of people from the river patrol team came up. It is said that someone secretly reported that the cargo carried by the ship contained contraband, so it was specially searched.

The so-called contraband is actually two large boxes of iron pots and fifty or sixty shovels, iron hoes and the like, which are not dangerous goods. However, the inspection team found these iron products. Without the mark of an official blacksmith, that is to say, these things were cast privately.

East has been implementing pig iron control for the past ten years. All iron products must be made by an officially recognized and registered blacksmith shop, and marked with the blacksmith responsible for casting, so as to check the source, except for The rest are all privately cast products, and trading is strictly prohibited. Among them, iron farm implements that can be used as weapons are more strictly controlled. Once they are found, the confiscation and fines are light, and it is common to be sentenced to imprisonment.

The owner of the cargo ship stood in fear in front of the inspection team leader, trembling all over, and stammered: "It's all... I'm entrusted by others... It's not mine, I don't, don't know it's private cast..."

This is obviously a shirk of responsibility, and the team leader naturally won't believe it, but believes that there is a problem with him. After some noise, they decided to confiscate all the iron products and other goods on the ship, and the whole ship was detained, waiting for their boss to deal with it.

Vasily was speechless when he saw this situation. He thought that it was no wonder that the ship had such a deep draft, but there was not a lot of cargo on the ship. It turned out that this kind of thing was hidden, and he was really careless.

Ming Na gently tugged at the corner of his shirt: "What should we do now?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. We originally took a downwind boat and had nothing to do with the owner of the boat. Just make it clear with the inspection team." Vasily put on a smile and walked to the squad leader. Tell me about my situation with Minna.

The inspection team captain looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Ming Na: "Even if you really have nothing to do with the ship owner, you are still very suspicious. What are you doing hiding in the cabin all day?"

Vasily said hurriedly: "My little niece fell ill a few days ago and is still very weak. Of course, I can't blow the wind. I specially stayed in the cabin to take care of her, so I didn't come out."

Minna coughed a few times in cooperation, leaned softly beside Vasily, and whispered: "Uncle. I'm a little dizzy." Vasily hugged her: "Really? Are you okay? Do you want to wear more clothes? Let's take you to a doctor, it's very troublesome for a child to be sick."

The inspection team leader didn't have time to watch their "uncle and nephew love" scene, but just said: "Take your identity documents and see. If it can prove that you really have nothing to do with the ship owner, it's okay to let you go. No."

Vasily hurriedly took out the voucher. His identity credentials were prepared by the Security Agency. Of course there is no problem, but when it comes to Ming Na, it is a little troublesome.

Minna's identity credentials were originally at Chidun's home. When they went to school in the Magic City, Anlong and Dora gave them the documents. She traveled with her grandfather to Cameron more than a year ago, and put all these belongings in the storage bracelet. into the storage ring. It's gone now.

The captain glanced and glanced at Minna, then glanced at the ship owner's dark brown hair. There is a strong tendency to suspect that there is a kinship between them. Seeing the situation was not good, Vasily explained to him: "When I was in Water City before, I met a thief, and the money was stolen along with the child's identity certificate. I still asked my friend to borrow money to go on the road. But don't worry, a child like her can never be a bad person, please let us go." Then he quietly stuffed a gold coin over.

The captain squeezed the gold coins and changed his smile: "That's right. I think this kid looks a bit like you. He must not be in the same family as the owner, then..." He hadn't said anything yet. Finish. An inspector came and whispered to him, and his eyes lit up: "Really?!" Immediately turned to Vasily and said, "You wait on the boat first, I have asked the superior, and I will let you go. Let's go." After speaking, he led the two team members away, leaving behind a dozen subordinates to guard the people on board.

Ming Na and Vasily looked at each other, not knowing why he suddenly turned his head and looked at the whereabouts of the inspection team from the deck, and found that he was on another boat, and it was still a noisy search for "contraband", according to the surrounding A few words of discussion that came vaguely seemed to be quite valuable goods.

Minna pouted: "What do we do now? When will they let us go?!" She suddenly had an idea, pulled Vasily down, and whispered in his ear: "Or... we How about sneaking away? We all swim anyway."

Vasily laughed when he heard the words: "No way, they are river patrols and they are good at swimming, and if we run away, wouldn't we admit that we have a problem? If we are caught, we will not be able to escape. ." He saw Ming Na's disappointed look, and smiled: "Okay, okay, Xiao Mingna, just be patient. They are also performing official duties, have you forgotten? I am also a public official, so there is no reason to go back to myself. In the country, there is also a conflict with people who are also public officials. Anyway, there are less than two days left to reach Ito, and no one is chasing us, it doesn’t matter if you slow down.”

Minna murmured in a low voice, "Who knows if they're really on duty..." But she sat down on the bench and waited for the inspection team's decision.

Vasily was amused again when he saw this. He glimpsed in the corner, the owner's family was crying softly. He couldn't bear it, and asked, "I think you are also a businessman who has been in the river transport business all the year round. You should know that contraband is not allowed. It's the right one, so why would you commit a crime knowingly?"

The owner bowed his head and didn't say a word, but his wife replied, "There's no way. Our lord's son is getting married this fall, and the tax has been raised throughout the territory two months ago. We are really affected by it. No, in order to make more money, I promised to help others with the fortune, but I didn't expect to be reported..." She burst into tears, and an old woman next to her scolded: "It must be the noble young master I met this morning! He You want to hit my granddaughter, so you deliberately hurt us!"

Vasily glanced at the young girl standing next to her. Although her nose was red from crying, she was still quite beautiful. She saw someone looking at her. He bowed his head shyly. He looked back at Ming Na, both of them were a little helpless, so they had to wait patiently.

This delay is a whole day. The next day the sun was so high that the inspection team sent someone to inform Vasily and Minna that they could leave. But their horses were detained as the owner's private property. If they wanted to go back, they would have to wait a long time and go through a series of formalities. After Vasily thought about it. Decided to give up that horse.

Minna followed Vasily off the boat and switched to the land route. After she was far away from the river, she said, "Uncle Vasily, those inspection team members are so annoying! I heard them say in private just now. Your horse can After selling a lot of money, we discussed that when the horse is sold, the whole team will go to drink together. How can they do this?!”

Vasily froze. He sighed: "It's not surprising, for inspectors like them, their salary is limited after a year. If they can't find some extra money, it will be difficult to support it. After a long time, this kind of thing becomes a routine. You look at the habit. It's fine."

"Anyway, I don't like it! Also. The uncle of the captain is very pitiful. He just wants to make more money. It's all because of his lord's insatiable greed that he has to take risks!"

"Aristocrats..." Vasily felt the same way, "Many nobles are like this..."

"So, nobles hate it the most!" Minna made a firm conclusion.

Vasily blinked: "You've scolded yourself for this, don't forget, your family is also a noble."

"That's different!" Minna said, "I never thought of myself as a noble. When I was sold by slave traders. I also met a lot of rich and noble people. Serious people, actually very bad. I knew a girl. She was sold to nobles for one night, and she died. She died very badly. I also got beaten a lot. I really hated them at that time. I was kind-hearted at that time My uncles and aunts gave me water, gave me food, and pleaded with the slave traders for me. They are so kind, but they are poor. Why can't they live a rich life? Why can the bad guys live so comfortably What? If nobles are so bad, I would rather be a commoner all my life!"

Vasily stopped and turned to stare at Minna with a strange look. Ming Na looked a little strange by him, and could not help but began to reflect on whether she had said something wrong, and whispered: "That... I'm not saying that you shouldn't want to be a noble..."

Vasily laughed, pulled up Minna and ran up the mountain ahead. Mingna faced the wind and asked loudly, "What are you doing?" "Of course you are on your way." Vasili rushed forward without looking back, "Crossing this mountain, you will soon reach Yidong, this is the Shortcuts!"

Mingna followed him up the mountain with suspicion. Before reaching the middle of the mountain, her feet were already soft, pulling and pulling on the ground. Finally, she climbed to the top of the mountain. Seeing that there was a grassy area to rest, she sat on it. Complaining in a low voice: "Climbing a mountain is a mountain, why are you rushing so fast?"

Vasily didn't answer. He stood on a large rock and looked ahead, with a bright smile on his face: "Minna, come and see."

Ming Na climbed up on the stone suspiciously and looked around, her eyes suddenly lit up.

On the other side of the mountain, there is a large gentle slope, with green grass growing, occasionally dotted with a few bushes of wildflowers, a group of pure white lambs walking in the mountains, suddenly piled up and scattered again , revealing a young man with messy hair in the middle, dragging a blade of grass into his mouth with laughter. The creek, shining with golden light in the sun, meanders down the **** and joins the Manado River not far away. On both sides of the river, there are endless farmlands. Right now, the wheat is about to ripen. golden waves.

The sky is blue, the clouds are white as silk, reflecting the green mountains, green grass, colorful wildflowers, and golden farmland, Ming Na murmured in fascination: "It's so beautiful..." She stretched out her hand, Feel the breeze flowing through your fingers.

"Every time I see it, I think it's very beautiful." Vasily said, "This is my motherland. No matter where I go, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I think this is the most beautiful place." /

Ming Na nodded, she also agreed with this sentence, but: "The scenery I saw in Maiton is not inferior to this."

Vasily smiled: "That's the same, it's our Easter's place anyway." He turned to look at the land under the mountain: "Actually... every time I see nobles bullying commoners, or doing other bad things , I also feel very sad. Are we people risking our lives and working hard to wander abroad for many years. The purpose is to make the nobles happy, while the commoners are oppressed? I am also a commoner, and I have suffered a lot since I was a child. When I think of my efforts, the nobles have always benefited the most, and I feel awkward."

Ming Na hurriedly asked: "You think so too?"

"This is what I thought before." Vasily said, "But now, I know that what I am doing is actually more to prevent the country from war and disaster, as long as the country can be peaceful. Even if the civilians are bullied, It is also better than enduring the suffering of war. The disaster brought by war is beyond your imagination. Back then, Weisha invaded the north of Shaonan. My mother fled to East before she met my father. She often asked me to Speaking of the situation at that time, countless people died every day. Houses were burned, furniture was broken, valuables were robbed, and all the villages and towns were empty. You have been to Ori, can you imagine it? It was rebuilt thirty years ago. It was already in ruins... If, one day, there is a war in East, what will this beautiful land look like?" He looked back at Minna : "Medon, Geddon, Matt, are places you are familiar with, can you imagine them turning into ruins?"

Minna thought for a while, and then she fought a cold war and kept shaking her head: "I don't want war." She hugged Vasily's arm: "It turns out that the security agency does such a great thing, and my father does the same thing. work? Then I'll support him."

Vasily smiled and stroked her head lightly: "Good boy. That's what I want to say, though. Nobles hate it. But what should be done is still to be done, because our guardian land is not a noble. It's this land and the people who live on it. If you feel that you can't stand the evil deeds of the nobles, then do your best to change it. Even if one person's strength is small, as long as everyone puts in a little effort, they will definitely be able to. Make this country a better place."

Ming Na felt that she understood, but she didn't seem to understand, so she nodded dazedly. Seeing this, Vasily was amused, pulled her to climb down the boulder, and said, "Okay, the scenery is over, let's go too."

"Huh? But I haven't had a good rest yet..." Before Ming Na could finish her words, Vasily carried it on her back: "I know that your child is weak, so let's see what happens next."

Ming Na smiled and hugged his neck: "Then please, it doesn't take much effort to go downhill anyway, just go as fast as you can!"

"Ah! It's too much, I'm human too, I'm tired too... Ouch, I'm going to fall, I didn't fall, I fell Minna..." Vasili was funny all the way, carrying Minna on his back and swaying left Shaking to the right and shaking, she giggled and laughed. The danger was repeated, but in fact, there was no danger at all. The two of them rushed down the mountain just like that, before falling to rest on the grass.

In the evening of the next day, they arrived at Ito Castle, but unfortunately it was time to close the city gate. In desperation, they had to stay overnight at a farmer outside the city and received a warm reception from the host. Ming Na drank the fragrant fish soup cooked by the aunt, and ate the hot bread, feeling warm in her heart. Occasionally, when she saw Vasily rubbing her calf, she couldn't help but snicker.

The next morning, at dawn, they said goodbye to the farmer and waited at the gate of the city. As soon as the gate opened, they went inside.

It was the first time for Ming Na to come to Ito Castle. She couldn't help looking around, but she was suddenly blocked by the guards guarding the city. Only then did she know that everyone who entered the city had to be searched, lest any malicious people disturb the security of the capital. .

Vasily muttered in a low voice: "Strange, there was no such thing before, did something happen recently?" He tried to talk to the guard, but the other party ignored him and urged him to leave quickly after the search.

Ming Na carefully looked at the clothes of the guards, thinking of her father's position, would she be similar to the people here? I was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that a line of sight was looking at me, and I looked at him, but there was no one, and I was puzzled: "Uncle Vasily, it seems that someone..."

"What's the matter?" Vasili turned back and asked her, and suddenly caught a glimpse of several familiar figures on the street corner, and said with a smile, "Look, the aunt who sells flowers over there, and the uncle who sets up the stall, are our informants. What?"

Minna looked over and saw that the two people were also looking back at Vasily, winked, still pretending to be doing their own business. She asked, "What do you mean by an informant?"

"I mean, not a full member, but taking our money to report what's happening in the city for us." Vasily explained, "There are many such people, from all walks of life, on the main street. There are commercial areas and residential areas. Ah, look, walk past here, cross two streets, and there is a security office not far ahead. Let's go there first."

"Yeah!" Minna responded, excited. What is the place where dad works? She can't wait to see him soon.

Crossing two streets, a large gray-black building stands at the end of the street ahead. Vasili said happily: "Look, the security office is in front of you, there are only 200 meters left, do you want to run over in one breath?"

Ming Na looked over from a distance and saw that the road was wide open and there was not even a pedestrian. It was suitable for running with all her strength, so she nodded vigorously.

"Okay!" Vasily made a running gesture, and Ming Na followed suit. The two of them stared straight ahead, ready to sprint.

"Hey—" A sharp cracking sound came, followed by a low "Pfft", Vasily leaned, and a black arrow tail appeared on his left arm.

Ming Na was stunned, and then reacted: "Vasily!" Was carried by Vasily and rolled to the side of the road, hiding behind a lamppost. Two more arrows shot over and inserted into their feet less than half a meter away.

Ming Na had her head pressed down by Vasily, and still couldn't help but look at the wound on his arm. Seeing the blood spread on the sleeves, it gradually turned black, and her voice trembled slightly: " Vasily, there is poison on the arrow..." She pressed her head, forcing herself to remember what poison it was and how to solve it.

Vasily's breath gradually weakened, but he still insisted on pulling out the dagger that was secretly hidden on his body, and pushed aside the arrow that was shot: "It's really...too careless, and I was chased by someone..."

"What?" Minna raised her head ~IndoMTL.com~ You can't be so violent! This poison will attack faster! She turned her head and saw a few abandoned wooden sticks in the open space behind her. She hurriedly picked up two of them. At the same time, she avoided three or four arrows. , the force was so strong that it almost knocked off the stick in her hand.

Vasily's breath was getting more and more urgent, he took out the cloth bag in his arms and stuffed it to Minna: "Take this... find a way to send it to the security office... wait a while, someone... come... hurry up run..."

"I don't want, I can't leave you..." Ming Na was so anxious that her eyes were red, "Call someone, don't you know a lot of informants? And your colleagues, ask them to rescue you!"

"Now...they're not here...it's strange...there's no one at the gate..." Vasily finally found that the security office was different from usual, but it was too late, "Run, think about your father, mine Poison... can't solve it, I know what it is... don't waste time, run..."

Minna heard it, gritted her teeth, cried out loudly, turned around and ran away, looking back, only to see Vasily's body getting lower and lower, heavier and heavier, and gradually, fell to the ground motionless . More than a dozen big men passed him and chased after her.

She wiped the tears from her face, ran away when she saw the road, and ran away when she saw the person. In the early morning, there were few pedestrians in Yidong City. She didn’t know where to go, when she suddenly saw a crack in the wall beside the road, just enough for her to pass through. She hurriedly jumped into the wall, and hurried past the sound of chasing footsteps. , she slid down to the ground next to the wall, holding the cloth bag tightly in her hand, crying, but did not dare to make a sound.

"Who is it?" A voice came from the yard, and Ming Na froze.

(It's surprising that I wrote so much... It's a Mother's Day gift...)
