Swordsman Without Friends
The Iron Paddle Devil.
The rain that was heavy began to subside changed drizzle. clouds in the sky are no longer black. The sunlight before noon again gushed out of the cloud gap. The wind that blew still felt cold, cold, as cold as the body of the skinny young man who was on the grill of the old man dressed in black perlente.
Although the old man who continued to suck the pipe of the gankglong in the gap of his lips as if he never stopped running, but did not look the slightest fatigue on his old face. arriving at a large river where the water was overflowing this old man just stopped running.
His handcuffs adorned with golden rings of colorful gemstones pulled iron pipe shells along nearly two jengkal from the corner of his mouth. his pair of old eyes shone sharply as a gust of frankincense-smelling tobacco smoke shot out from his mouth and nose.
This old man then issued a short whistling sound with a certain tone, although only a small whistle, but the echo of his voice was heard to a distance.
There is no need to wait long for this old man because from the direction of the river can be seen sliding a boat.the size is quite large and long for a boat. in the middle is given a cover of woven bamboo for the shelter of its passengers. a half-aged man dressed in bamboo and dressed in white can be seen rowing behind the boat.one paddle swinging in the water, and, the boat had slid to a distance of ten spears.from here it can be known the power in the boatman is very great.
Only three-four times paddled, the boat had arrived in front of the black-clad old man who without saying a word immediately climbed onto the boat. the frail young man's body on his shoulder was just thrown onto the floor of the boat as if it were a sack of rice.
If the body of another person who was seriously injured and his life was half thrown like that, of course the wound will be worse or even hunted to death. but the pale skinny young man who was indeed Pranacitra was still breathing.
The old man with the hornbill pipe all the way to carry it while continuing to spit tobacco smoke mixed with incense into the face of the young man. curiously every smoke was inhaled, Pranacitra's condition even better. does the smoke from the pipe contain certain medicinal herbs.?
The boat turned back, moving against the flow of the river.The rower looks deft in controlling his boat in the middle of the swift flow of the river. it was not just anyone who was able to do it let alone the paddle was made of heavy iron material.while continuing to move the paddle unconsciously this person's eyes observed the body of the young man lying in the middle of the boat.
''You must want to know who this child is, frankly I say I don't know him either..''
''It is appropriate why the chairman took him to our headquarters, at first glance I saw the wound on his body is very severe.'' said the rower dressed in bamboo curious.
''Right, if at a glance this boy is only a mere corpse candidate, but did you know that this pale and limp young man who had slaughtered the vice chairman of the beggar's society 'The centipede of Ireng', the Beggar of Gompal's Teeth and a dozen of his men at the frontier of Punggingan.!''
''Of course you also know that some of our brothers brought the dead body of Ki Ludiro the Quick Finger who died at the hands of the beggars of the Ireng Centipede. this boy was wretched for wanting to protect Ludiro's corpse from the hands of those bastard beggars.!'' said the elderly man berglangkon while taking a knit of tobacco and frankincense from a leather pouch hanging on his black belt.
As soon as the mixture of tobacco, cloves and incense is sprinkled into the sinkhole of the steel pipe.The fire in the pipe was again lit. the smell of nauseating incense smoke immediately smelled.
''Of course you don't believe everything I say, Hek., he., just so you know, even now I still continue to imagine how cruel and cunning this boy was when he finished off the Beggar Gompal Teeth.!''
The boat continues to glide quickly. people bercaping must exert more powerful inner energy to penetrate the flow of river currents are quite swift. when arriving at a bend of the river in the flank of two cliffs that are rather high and grown by bushes and dense trees.Suddenly this paddleman stop his movement. an iron anchor was lowered under the boat to keep it from being carried away by the swift currents.
''Excuse me Chairman., up ahead there are some riverbanks who dare to try to block our journey..''
''You take care of it yourself. It's up to you to do what the horde is, I want to quickly arrive at our place and treat this brat. somehow this kid is quite interesting to me Hek., hek.!'' sahut the horned parents are referred to as the chairman by the boat paddleman.
People clapping bamboo genjot body from behind the stern of the boat to the front through a shelter covered with bamboo woven in the middle of the boat. the science of lightening his body is great enough to be able to put both feet in front without shaking the body of the boat.
This man lifted his bamboo caping slightly up, a little far ahead there was a medium-sized ship that was escorted by four small boats were moving closer, so it quickly arrived in front of the boat.now their distance was only five spears.
The man clapping a low grunt saw a black flag with a picture of a sharp-toothed fish and a cross-laced trident spear set on the sail of the ship in the middle. meanwhile four small boats escorting on the left right of the ship have also begun to move outflank from the four directions. ''Huh., hordes of 'Kali Wareng River Plough'., what a great thing.today I will make you crumble and drown in this river.!''
At the front of the black-flagged ship was a half-aged man with an oblong bald head, keeping a long, black-robed beard sitting on a wooden chair and escorted by two men armed with a machete.
The man who rowed the boat glanced at the small boat that surrounded it. There were three people in each boat.if calculated the members of this river plow group totaled more than thirty people. ''Many of your men Ki Betik Kawak inner boat rower while looking at the bald-headed person on the boat.
''This whole Wareng river flow is our area of power the Kali Wareng river pirate hordes. hence anyone who passes through it please pay just money way.!'' exclaiming the person standing to the left of the oblong bald-headed man with a loud threatening voice.
''Hek., he., it's funny. all these years I roamed this Wareng river but no one dared to speak so arrogantly in front of me..''
''Hoi Ki Betik Kawak., have you never taught your men how to be good.?'' shouted the boat rowing man, although it is old but his body still looks stocky, especially the arms and shoulders are muscular.
''Impertinent., asked for money on the road well even talk digress. apparently you already want to mampus.!'' the person on the right, while the black-robed bald man who was the leader, was still sitting in his chair, also looked angry.
''You tell them to move, just finish him off if he fights back, but be careful because I see from his attitude this guy has a little intelligence..'' said the bald man named Ki Betik Kawak.
Two of his representatives nodded, with a gesture of flickering hands four boats began to move closer to the target.The boat in front of the first approached.Three people there immediately jumped up while bouncing the machete. the rower grinned, My iron oar has not taken a life for long, today you will all be its victims.!'' hiss the rower while swinging his iron oars. once he made a movement to fend off and thump back three opponents.
'Whuuuk., whuuk., braaak.!'
'Aakh., 'Aaaakh.!'
Three assailants immediately fell into the river with their heads broken.their bodies were immediately washed away by the swift flow of the Wareng river. killing three swarms of river plows at once in one libas signifies the opponent is not a paddle boat carelessly.they increase in alarm when the person bercap it rebukes ''Who else would still want to clash their lives with me the 'Iblis Iron Paddle' can come forward here.!''
