Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 73—The Aftermath and Return

"Is it really dead?" Claude leaned against the ship's side, his body wet, and he and Verricko were both splashed by the Nyros crocodile. However, this will not take care of these small things. He is putting the arquebus gun in front of him and re-plugging the granule-type standard No. 3 supporting gunpowder into the barrel. Sitting and not standing is convenient, but now his left ankle is swollen like freshly baked bread, so he can't stand up...

"It's really dead, otherwise I will rush to bite me when I fell into the water. I saw that its belly was exposed, and it didn't move at the bottom of the water. It must have died..." The answer was that I just climbed the boat. Bokal, like a chicken, just keep dropping down. However, when the crocodile died, he calmed down and the people returned to normal and lively.

Verricko took the broken bamboo poles to poke the underwater crocodile. After a few pokes, he sighed. "It’s already dead. It’s all right by Crowder. In the middle of it, the head is critical, and it’s a shot. Otherwise we’re really in trouble, maybe four people can’t escape and it’s torn into pieces...”

Crowder finally put the gun and gunpowder on, but the fire rope on the gun was all wet and could not be used anymore. Claude couldn't get up and had to call: "Viro, take my backpack, I will change the roots first." Fire rope."

Bok Archie said: "Do you still have a rope now? Isn't the crocodile already killed?"

Verricko came over and unknowingly pushed Bokal: "Go away, don't get in the way, Claude is thoughtful, just in case. After all, we are still here, no one knows. Will there be a second crocodile. Also, what about your gun? No matter what the busy moments can't help, the competition will add chaos!"

Bokal was blushed by Verrick, and he also knew how bad his performance was when the crocod attack. Verricko said that he was a good comment. In fact, he was pulling everyone's hind legs, not only scared on the deck, but also lost the arquebus and knew how to yell...

"Hey? Why didn't my gun disappear?" Looking for a circle, Bokal did not see where his arquebus was. It was strange that the cabin was so big, how could he not find the arquebus?

Claude pointed to the lake next to him: "Don't be ashamed, it seems that when you roll into the water, the arquebus is taken down by you. Look at the bottom of the water."

Verricko took the backpack to Claude, helped him take the rope off and wrapped it on the gun and caught it with a rope clip. After the ignition, both of them were relieved. This will be a little more accidental. There is also a fire rope in the hands of Claude. The power of self-protection is finally there.

"What happened to your feet?" Verricko looked at Claude's red, swollen ankle and helped him gently remove the left shoe. Even if he was careful, Claude still had a painful breath.

"When I opened the gun, I twisted it." Claude smiled and said: "Nothing, you should first check out Ike. His face is full of blood. I don't know if it hurts. I remember that we came out this time." Also brought two bottles of therapeutic agents, you can find out to treat him."

Eriksson had already climbed up and was squinting at the broken right side of the ship, and the blood on his face was still dripping down, looking very serious.

And Bokal is taking off his drenched clothes, revealing a white fat body, and looks like he is ready to go fishing with his arquebus...

Verricko is very annoyed: "Boa, don't go into the water! Go and see where Ike is hurting. I am going to find a therapeutic agent."

Eriksson is actually just the position of the left cheekbones. The handle of the steering wheel is a big hole. Although the blood is much more, it is not a serious injury. It was only when he smashed the crocodile by Claude and caused the small fishing boat leaning to the left to fall back to the water and hit the bottom of the steering wheel again. Not only did he have a big bag on his head, but the whole person was stunned and turned...

Bok Al was busy holding Eriksson on the deck and got a wet linen towel to wipe his face. Verricko found out that the healing agent had fallen on his wound and stopped the blood. Only the therapeutic agent is basically used to treat trauma, and the wound on Eriksson's face does not need oral. Claude is a sprained foot and does not need a therapeutic agent. He has to go back to the town to find a pharmacist and apply a plaster to cure it.

"It's better to sew it. The wound is a bit long. If you don't sew it, you will leave a scar on your face." Verricko looked at the wound on Eriksson's face.

"Then, then you can help me sew..." Eriksson will only be able to bite his teeth and fill the tough guy. If you wait for the pharmacist to suture the wound after returning to the town, it will be too late. It will take about two hours to get off the boat from here. The wound has already fallen on the therapeutic agent to stop the blood. Now, after not going back, etc. After suturing, I am afraid that the wounds will not be able to fit on either side.

The tools are ready-made, sewing needles and guts, which are essential medical supplies in the field, packed in oil paper bags. It’s just that Verikoro’s craftsmanship is not so good. He stitched three stitches or twisted. Eriksson bites the root stick and hurts.

Bocker did not dare to look at it and simply jumped into the water to catch his arquebus. After the Victorian help Eriksson sewed the needle in the wound and applied the therapeutic agent and wrapped his face with clean linen, Bokal also took the gun and re-boarded.

After the murder of Neros crocodile, four people did not have the mind to stay in this reed hunting waterbird, and unanimously decided to sail back to the town. The only problem now is whether the dead Niros crocodile under the water should be picked up and brought back.

"We can go back and call the ship to transport the Nyros crocodile back." Verricko felt that the most important thing now is to return to the town to send Claude to the pharmacy to treat his sprained left ankle. Is the ankle swollen?

"Moreover, the right side of the ship of Ike has been broken, and the deck is higher than the surface of the water. This Niros crocodile and the small fishing boat are almost the same size. If you move on the boat, the entire deck will definitely be pressed to the surface. Go on, then how do we go back..."

"No, if we don't take this Nyros crocodile back now, it will take half a day to come back. Maybe we can't find the corpse of this crocodile when we come back. Besides, Ike's right ship's side is so broken. Even if we give him the fish caught, the price is not enough for the repair of the fishing boat. Only by bringing this crocodile back to sell a high price, we have money to repair the ship." Bocker insisted on this. The crocodile body is brought back.

"Wait a minute, don't forget that we still have a fence and two blocks that have not been recovered. This is what Willing Auntie took me to try. I can't leave all three of them here..." Eriksson Said with a face.

"Look, you will take back the net and come to our small fishing boat. Where is the position of this Niros crocodile?" Verricko spread the hand to Bok Al.

Crowder thought for a moment and said: "Boa makes sense. If we don't bring this Niros crocodile back, or lose the crocodile's body, then we really have no money to pay after going back. The repair cost of this small fishing boat, after all, there is no second broken wave to wear and can be used to change the ship's side. But Vero considered it right. If the three nets are taken back, the ship can't really fit it. Head Neros crocodile.

I think so, if you want to bundle the crocodile and drag it behind the ship, after the three nets are taken back, we can remove the three floating nets and tie them to the crocodile body. on. I think so many floating wood labels are tied to the crocodile enough to hold up its body, so we are like pulling a boat behind, don't worry that the body is too heavy to hang down to slow down the speed of our fishing boat... ”

Claude's suggestion was immediately endorsed by Bok Al and Eriksson. Bokal feels that Claude's brain is so good. This idea solves all the problems at once. It is no wonder that he has improved his grades in learning hard. Now every time they test three slags are gram. Lord's answer.

But Verricko was very worried and looked at Claude: "Then your feet..."

Crowder shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a sprain and it's not broken. You don't have to worry so much. You give me the healing potion and linen. I will go up and massage it and then wrap it up. Then I will go back to the potion after going back. Look at the store."

The rope in the cabin is enough, but both Claude and Eriksson can't get into the water, only Villicro and Bocker are going to tie the Niros crocodile.

Don't look at Bokal, who always said that he would bring the crocodile body back. When he went to tie the Niros crocodile, he began to be afraid again. He didn't dare to approach the body. Villecroft licked him a few words, dive into the water and tied the long crocodile's long mouth with a rope, and Bokal then swam to tie the rope to it...

When the two came back with the rope, Eriksson also helped to pull the crocodile body out of the water grass. In the water, the crocodile body does not look heavy, but the fishing boat sinks a little, and the deck is two or three centimeters above the water.

The small fishing boat slowly drove out of the reeds and drove to the place where the net was left. In front of the fence, Crowder let Bok Al's advanced cabin move out and put it to his side. He is now sitting on the bow and holding a arquebus to alert him. However, there are half a basket of blueberries and a small basket of apples left, and the remaining half a barrel of rye. Everything else is raw ingredients, don't worry about burning and eating, this will make everyone have no idea of ​​eating.

Pulling up the purse, there are only three big lake fish, the rest are the white scales of the palm of the palm, there are more than a dozen, this fish is worthless, the meat is less thorny, no one buys, usually the fishermen catch it and also bring it Broken the poultry. In fact, this fish is very delicious to use, but no one in this era is willing to use so much oil to blow up this stuff.

The two blocks have captured 18 good lake fish and should also be worth the price of a Riazor. After pouring the fish into the living tank, everyone was busy removing the floating wood on the net. Verricko and Bokal were once again launched, and the floating wood labels were tied to the crocodile's body. Sure enough, the crocodile body No longer sinking, the burden of small fishing boats is much reduced.

Only the deck of the small fishing boat is full of fishing nets, and the fishing boat is pressed as flat as the water surface, and the damage of the right ship's side causes the fishing boat to surge into the deck from time to time. Fortunately, the small fishing boat uses the ship's ship board, the buoyancy is very good, and there is no need to worry that the small fishing boat will sink.

When I finished everything and started to go back, it was already around 12 noon. The four people who were busy until now felt that the stomach started to be hungry. No way, the cover of the cabin was pressed by the fishing net, and there was no place on the deck to set the stove to burn. Everyone had to eat an apple and eat a few blueberries and a cup of rye to cushion the stomach.

It only took about two hours to go, but when the air was returned, even if the wind was very full, the speed of the small fishing boat was still very slow. Crowder fell asleep on the bow and woke up. He slept for two hours. The small fishing boat had been sailing for more than three hours, but the dock in Bailu Town finally appeared in the distance.
