Bypassing the Taiwan Strait and entering the Dongsha Islands area, the weather is very hot.
"What is she going to do?" Cheng Jia asked Sum.
"Get ready to go into the sea. There are a group of dolphins here. Every time the master passes by, he has to go down to play with them." Sum said.
"Play?" Before Cheng Jia could exclaim in surprise, she saw that the woman in shorts had already jumped off the bow of the boat, and hurriedly ran to the side of the boat. I went out for a long time, and then many big fish swam around me.
Seeing Yan San sitting leisurely on the boat, watching what the people on the deck should do, and some idle sailors calling for the master to bring some fish, Cheng Jia felt relieved. I'm used to it.
Cheng Jia breathed a sigh of relief. The bloody battle that day seemed to have left no impact at all. The boat sailed on the sea, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, the moonlight and stars, the chirping of seabirds, and the jumping of fish. Learning to fish with Ling Qingyu, sometimes playing cards and drinking tea, life on this boat is so pleasant.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Ling Qingyu softly comforted the dolphin beside her. The dolphin seemed to be injured, and kept rubbing against her. She slowly touched it with her hand, and sure enough there was something stuck in its lower abdomen. Reassuring in a low voice, Ling Qingyu pulled out the thing forcefully, took it out of the water and saw it was an arrow.
The dolphin was bleeding a little, but happily circled her a few times.
"It's okay." Touching the dolphin's head, Ling Qingyu stepped on the water and frowned. This arrow is relatively new, which means that the dolphin has not been injured for a long time, and this arrow is definitely not owned by the fishermen.
"Qing Yu come up!" Cheng Jia was taken aback by Yan San's shout, and when he looked again, there were already sailors throwing net ropes down around him.
"I'll go down." Shen Zhan had already taken off his shirt and jumped into the water.
Cheng Jia took a look, and saw that the big fish playing with Ling Qingyu were all around Ling Qingyu as if they were screaming, and a few big fish that looked very vicious began to swim around.
"It's a shark." Sum said, then put the knife in his mouth, turned over Chuanxuan and climbed down from the net rope.
"The head of the house!" Shen Zhan got out of the water and pointed to the water.
Ling Qingyu looked down, and in the clear water, sharks could be seen gathering. Busily gestured to Shen Zhan, and leaned towards the boat.
"You guys go too." Ling Qingyu waved to the dolphins, and quickly swam to the side of the boat.
The dolphins turned over a few waves in the water and swam far away. Ling Qingyu was already close to the side of the boat. A shark rushed over from the water with its mouth wide open.
Sum jumped into the water, pulled Ling Qingyu with his hand, and then pointed the knife in his hand at the shark's lower jaw and stabbed it hard.
Yan San reached out on the net rope to fish Ling Qingyu up, and Shen Zhan had already climbed onto the net rope beside him, but the three of them didn't move, they just watched Sum fighting the shark in the water.
The blond boy was like a more ferocious fish in the water, the scimitar in his hand sliced the shark like a knife, and the flesh and blood made the surrounding sharks go crazy and rushed up together.
"Sum, that's fine, just get one." Ling Qingyu called.
A sailor next to him dropped the steel hook. Sum held the knife in one hand and caught the steel hook in the other, and hung the hook on the shark.
When the four of them climbed up, the sailor above yelled and pulled up the shark that had bitten off some of its meat.
"Chen Liang, come and take a look." As soon as he boarded the ship, Ling Qingyu handed the arrow in his hand to Chen Liang. Chen Liang was the leader of a thousand people under Fang Nianyuan. Liang leads and guards.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Jia put a long gown on Ling Qingyu. Although he had fully understood these days on the boat, the people on the boat were already accustomed to Ling Qingyu's behavior, but he couldn't stand her being so wet Everything can be seen clearly in front of everyone.
"There are armed boats here, and they are definitely not good boats." Ling Qingyu said. Seeing that Cheng Jia didn't understand, he said, "Dolphins are friends of fishermen, and people at sea will never harm them."
"The person in charge is the arrowhead of the southern official system." Chen Liang said with a dark face.
"The dolphin was injured not long ago, so the boat should be nearby." Ling Qingyu gathered his clothes and walked quickly to his cabin.
"Brothers, fuck it!" Chen Liang yelled.
"Go up the sail and look up your hands." Shen Zhan also called out.
There was a sudden movement on the deck.
"Who is it?" Cheng Jia asked after Ling Qingyu.
Glancing at Wang Xuanzhi who was walking down the stairs and looking at him anxiously on the second floor, Ling Qingyu said, "In all likelihood, it's the Xie family's boat. We must be careful. Cheng Jia, Xuanzhi, you guys Come to the captain's cabin."
Ling Qingyu went into the inner room to change clothes, and Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi sat down on the chairs in the captain's cabin outside. Seeing that the people on the deck below were doing their own duties, there were still some people who took the shark aside to take care of it. A smile.
After changing his clothes and wiping the water from his hair with a handkerchief, Ling Qingyu hurried out and said, "You guys stay here, it's safer here."
"Is Xie's ship more terrifying than the imperial army?" Wang Xuanzhi couldn't help asking.
Ling Qingyu paused for a moment, then said: "Yes! Xie's family has more money than your Wang's." The people they invited were stronger than your Wang's, and they almost killed me and Yan San last time.
"Are they so bold?" Wang Xuanzhi asked with a trace of anger.
"Well, I think." Putting down the veil, Ling Qingyu said with a smile: "Your father's idea is to let the people on the boat and the Xie family cooperate internally and externally. Fortunately, the person who came with you is stupid. Not easy to deal with."
Seeing that Wang Xuanzhi's face turned dark again, Ling Qingyu couldn't help pinching his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, the soldiers come to cover the water and soil, I know this has nothing to do with you."
Walking out of the cabin quickly, Ling Qingyu shouted to the people below: "Chen Liang, raise the combo crossbow."
"Yes!"
Wang Xuanzhi touched the place pinched by her, he couldn't laugh or cry, this person was completely changed on this Fengshen, in Dazhou, although she was strange, she still had a basis for advancing and retreating, her manners were not bad, and she treated them cautiously Alienated, always on guard, but on this ship, within two days, it showed its true colors, dressed well, talked, acted, and the crew were no different, shoulder to shoulder, and treated them like this. There is no such distance as before, and the occasional sarcasm and prank takeaway ****.
"What's this?" Commander Zhang asked looking at the huge combo crossbow that came down from the bilge.
"Continuous strike crossbow." Chen Liang instructed his subordinates to set up the crossbow and replied.
"How many good things do you have?" Commander Zhang sighed. The weapons are better than theirs, and look, the light armor these boys wear now is of a much better quality than their shiny gold armor.
"What is this?" Chen Liang was half-sentenced, thinking, you didn't see it for Meng Su and the others, or you'd be scared out of your wits.
"Why do I think it's better for you to be the sailors than me to be the forbidden army? Why don't we buddies do it with you too." Commander Zhang continued to sigh. After everyone got acquainted with each other, someone also asked about their treatment. The income of hundreds of taels a year was several times higher than theirs.
"Go, go, you bears!" Chen Liang glanced at him and said with a smile.
"You look down on people, don't you? Brothers, let's fuck guys too, show them!" Commander Zhang shouted.
"What are you fucking doing?"
"It looks like you are going to have sex with someone? We have been idle for a few days, just to loosen our muscles and bones."
"Are you dressed like this? Well done, second child, give them some light armor, dress like this, don't make trouble when the time comes."
"Chen Liang! You can't look down on our imperial army!"
"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk!"
The atmosphere below was just right, and Ling Qingyu didn't even feel a smile, and looked up at the main mast. On the top of the mast, there was a man standing with fluttering clothes. Just looking at it made her feel at ease, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Cheng Jia also walked out of the cabin, and saw that the preparations had been completed in such a short time, and the men in light armor on the deck stood upright, with bows in the front and knives in the back.
"Boss, how did you burn the shark's fin today?" The uncle in the kitchen who was still handling sharks in the lower corner shouted.
"Braised!" Ling Qingyu also called out.
"Okay! Come on, children, throw these away." After the cook finished packing, he said to the assistants beside him.
The mentality of the people on this boat is really not ordinary people! Is there really any master and there are subordinates? Cheng Jia stroked his chin and thought to himself.
"Here we come!" The person on the top of the mast shouted, and the people below immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Looking at the three large sea-going ships approaching in the distance, Yan San said quietly, but could be heard by the whole ship, "Three ships, finished fonts."
"Sheng Tieban, masters, you go in." Chen Liang called.
"Let's go." Ling Qingyu pulled Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi back into the cabin, and thin iron plates were raised around the cabin.
Shadow Thirteen Shadows Ten Shadow Two and Sum stood outside the door, Xie Sanlang stood by Ling Qingyu's side.
"You guys go too." Cheng Jia said to the book case and the guards, the three boys and the guards responded and went down to the deck.
Wang Xuanzhi also nodded, and there were only two servants left beside him.
"Keep it handy, Student Cheng." Ling Qingyu smiled at Cheng Jia. Although she knew that his four servants were not vegetarians, it seemed that she might have underestimated them.
"Where is it? Compared with the head of the family, people like me are not enough." Cheng Jia laughed.
Wang Xuanzhi cleared the table, put it on a chess board, and said to Cheng Jia, "Have a game?"
"Playing chess is so boring, how about we play cards?" Ling Qingyu asked with bright eyes.
"Your hands are too smelly." Wang Xuanzhi said with a sidelong glance at her.
"You can despise my character, but not my brand!" Ling Qingyu said very justly.
"Well, I have to admit that compared to your brand, your character is slightly better." Wang Xuan said after placing the first chess piece.
