After two days of practice, I was basically familiar with the operation essentials of sail adjustment.

On March 30, he took the small bamboo raft into the mountains and dug a boatload of coal.

That night, they talked about the departure.

I slapped my face: "Well, after a few months of preparation, everything is in order, we should consider leaving here, right?"

"Then let's go, this day, I've been waiting long enough. ”

"You're in charge! We'll listen to you anyway. ”

I smiled and said, "Then let's prepare it tomorrow." Tomorrow to carry things on the ship, it is estimated that it will take a day to clean up, and the day after tomorrow morning to leave! That girl, have you taken back the bow sleeve in the mountain?"

Ke Xinying said: "It's all collected, the ropes are all taken away, you say you're ready to go, and you'll collect it during the day." ”

I said, "That's good." Then everyone think about it, what else needs to be paid attention to, before tomorrow, we must figure it out, once our ship sets sail, there will be no turning back. ”

My cousin raised her hand and said, "Can you stay for another day tomorrow, pack up your things the day after tomorrow, and leave the day after tomorrow?"

I looked at her, "What's the matter, you're reluctant to leave?"

"It's not. My cousin knocked me: "Don't you remember what day tomorrow is?"

I looked curious: "What day is tomorrow?"

My cousin gave me a blank look: "Tomorrow on the first day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, isn't it your birthday for this stinky boy!"

"Oh!" I suddenly realized, "Looks like it." I don't even remember, but you remember it for me. ”

When the other women heard this, they were startled.

"Isn't it this guy's birthday tomorrow?"

"Why don't you give him a celebration?"

"Anyway, it's not bad for a day or two, so postpone it for two days and celebrate this stinky villain's birthday before leaving. ”

"Lest he say that we ignore him, don't give him face, don't take care of his feelings, and don't even help him celebrate his birthday!"

So these women decided for me one by one.

I didn't even say a word.

After that, they talked about Li Zhi's team.

My cousin has old friends with Li Zhi's team, so she seems to be more concerned.

"Stinky boy, how likely are we to meet them at the crossing?"

I licked my lips and analyzed, "If nothing else, they must have received a signal from the aliens." Then, with Li Zhi's approach, he should take those women to accept the guidance of aliens and go north to Central China. And if they want to go, they will definitely refer to the map, go to the narrowest point of the sea, and then cross the strait. ”

"Let's go to that place first, if we're lucky, we might be able to bump into them. But it's not guaranteed, it's more likely that they've already crossed the strait, or haven't reached that location yet. ”

"We can come like this, and when we get there, look carefully, and if we find any signs that they have crossed the sea, then we will chase them from behind. If no trace is found, then sail first and continue westward, bypassing the western end of Qiongzhou Island and turning to the southern coastline to pick them up. ”

My cousin nodded in approval, "We're not in a hurry for a month." We also tried it two days ago, and under normal wind speeds, our boat can go more than 50 nautical miles a day. At this speed, if the navigation is normal, you will be able to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River in two months. We are only in early April, and the southwest and easterly winds can blow until July and August, which is enough time for us. So it doesn't matter at all that it takes a month to pick up people. This is a rare opportunity to go home, we can't throw Brother Li Zhi and them away. Otherwise, it would be too unrighteous to live with them, but I have been helped by them before. ”

I said, "Of course. ”

In fact, we discussed this three months ago.

At that time, we thought that Li Zhi and them would definitely get a message from aliens.

We would have liked to meet them and discuss it together.

But at that time, I had to build sailboats, and I couldn't find time to connect with them.

At the same time, they thought that if they received the message, they would definitely follow the map guidance, bypass the western end of the island from the south shore, and then go to the crossing point on the north shore to cross the sea.

I was afraid that I would go to them, but I would come up in vain, so the matter was put aside.

Let's talk about everything when we get to that sea crossing point.

discussed Li Zhi's matter. Then the women drove me back to my room and went to sleep.

The five of them huddled around and entered my cousin's room.

On the surface, it was a discussion about celebrating my birthday tomorrow.

In fact, the devil knows, what bad ideas they play, how to trick me tomorrow.

I...... Hum!

……

Early the next morning, I was still tired of these days, and I had a rare day of sleep, and there was already a ping-pong floor outside, and the pots and pans sounded.

I propped myself up and took a look.

Hey, these women are so diligent!

It's rare, it's rare!

Eleven o'clock.

A sumptuous table of dishes was put on the table.

I'm like an uncle, I don't do anything, I walk my dog in the yard and play.

"It's time to eat, big birthday boy!"

I walked back to the dining room.

"Yo! so many dishes, I have a heart, I have a heart, I have a heart!"

Su Wu came out of the pot with a steamer again: "Be careful, let me go, the cake will come!"

There's even a cake!

I opened it and saw a piece of the steamer in vain: "Uh...... Your cake is a little too monotonous, almost multicolored cream. ”

My cousin knocked me down: "This is a honey rice steamed cake, how can we have the ingredients to make a cake, so let's use rice to make a steamed cake instead." ”

I swallowed: "It's okay, it's okay." Steamed cake instead of cake, the courtesy is light and affectionate, I can't help but want to eat it. ”

My cousin knocked me again: "If you want to eat it, cut it quickly, do you still want someone else to cut it for you?"

I said, "Just cut it, don't you put a candle on it for me to blow out?"

Tian Xiaxia smiled: "Where are we going to find you twenty-five candles? ”

"Oh!" I picked up my dagger, divided the plate into six equal portions, and ate it with the women.

"Well, it's so tender and sticky!"

At this time, Tian Qiuqiu also took out a jar of wine she had brewed in the past few months, ready to take away the fine wine she had drunk on the road, and filled the cup.

The six cups slammed together and made a clinking.

"Stinky boy!"

"Great pervert!"

"Big bastard!"

"Brother Lele!"

"Stinky scoundrel!"

"I wish you a day every year, and a present day every year. We—love you!"

I smiled so hard that I couldn't close my mouth: "Thank you, thank you! I love you too!"

My cousin made a speech: "Today, one is to celebrate Lele's birthday, and the other is to make a meal for ourselves, eat a good meal, and tomorrow we have to be busy packing up things, and we will leave the day after tomorrow!"

Everyone did it again.

Then Ke Xinqiao looked at me and said, "Brother Lele, the five of us are together, we have something to say to you, do you know?"

I laughed and said, "What's that?"
