Chapter 137: You Saved Me (1/4)
At the top of the cliff, the wind is very strong, and the cloudy day is a precursor to the storm.
The gray sky is boundless, only in the distant sky, there is a glimmer of light through the layers of dark clouds cast to the earth, like a mysterious gate of heaven, magnificent and magnificent.
Luckily, the wind was blowing roughly in the direction of the base camp, so it was no problem to drift back.
Zheng Fei woke up da Vinci who was sleeping soundly, da Vinci pinched his sleepy face, yawned, looked around, and said with a smile: "It's dawn." ”
"Turn up the heater to the maximum, we should go back." Zheng Fei untied the rope tied to the vine and said.
Da Vinci glanced at the lions at the bottom of the cliff a few hundred meters away, and said, "Captain, if you throw a stone from here, you can kill them?"
"Free fall, no less powerful than a cannonball. ”
"What falling?"
"Uh, nothing, revenge, angry boy. Zheng Fei was too lazy to explain, in fact, because he didn't understand the explanation, after all, he had to start with Newton's laws.
Da Vinci rubbed his palms and rubbed his hands, found dozens of palm-sized stones from the cliff, one after the other, screamed and threw his arms down, shouting, "Die, little cubs!"
"It's not cool, ignition. Zheng Fei put his arms on the edge of the fence, looked at him with the corner of his eye, and took a sip of wine silently.
This guy seems to be very vindictive.
A prodigy who likes to hold grudges can easily turn into a bomb.
The hot air balloon floated slowly in the air, driven by the wind towards the direction of the base camp, when it began to drizzle, and the rain fell on the face, cool and moisturized, enough to relieve sleepiness.
The speed was very fast, and it took less than half the time it took Zheng Fei to see the wooden houses through the lens of the guò telescope, and the expectant faces of the people next to the wooden houses, they were cheering.
Choose a plain near the base camp, turn off the fire, and drop.
The moment the basket touched the ground, almost everyone quickly gathered around, enthusiastic and greeting, with excited smiles on their faces, unfortunately they were not rushing at the captain, but at this novel large flying machine.
Zheng Fei climbed out of the hanging basket, took the breakfast tray handed by Britney, looked at this group of medieval men and women, watching the hot air balloon like an alien flying saucer, pointing and discussing.
He gulped down the steaming beef patty, drank the seafood soup, and came to the hillside without sleeping all night without feeling sleepy.
No sooner had he sat down and raised his binoculars to look out at the watchtower by the cliff than Santiago came over and sat down beside him.
"Man, where have you been, you haven't come back to the bonfire. ”
"Don't say it, I'm almost not going back. ”
"Why?"
"When you fly into the sky, you will know that it is safest to be down-to-earth. ”
As he spoke, he searched the entire sea cliff with his camera, and when he didn't see Grant, he asked, "Didn't I ask Grant to move things there, but what about others?"
Santiago scratched his head and said blankly, "Huh, didn't you ask him to drive a boat to catch fish at sea?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fei suddenly became agitated and said eagerly: "When did he leave?"
"It's been less than half an hour. ”
"Where's your black-maned horse?"
On the vast plains, black-maned horses are like arrows from the string, sweeping through the meadows and wading across the rivers, galloping wildly.
After a few moments, its iron hooves stepped on the edge of the dock.
All the ships were there, and it seemed that Grant hadn't had time to get out of the boat yet.
The white sails of the New World had been raised, and from here, Grant's back could be seen snorting, and he was struggling to lift anchor.
Zheng Fei lifted the musket, pressed his index finger on the trigger, aimed at him dozens of meters away, frowned and hesitated for a moment, but after all, he still didn't shoot, and gently climbed onto the deck with Santiago.
Grant was completely unaware of their arrival, and with great difficulty it took a lot of effort to put the anchor away, sit on the deck, gasping for breath, unscrewing the lid of the kettle, pouring a mouthful, and wiping his mouth.
After a short rest, he snorted inexplicably, looked at the sea level in the distance, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said to himself: "Don't think that only you can sail." ”
Zheng Fei squeezed his eyes at Santiago, lowered his voice and said, "This is talking about me." ”
Santiago pinched his fingers, twisted his neck, and glared at Grant's back, eager to rush up and beat him up.
Grant was so excited that he threw away the kettle and lay down on the deck, laughing, "My manor, beautiful French girl, I'm coming!"
His fantasies and longings were torn apart in the next second, and a satisfied smile remained on his face and froze.
He heard his worst fears.
"Navigator, where are you going?" Zheng Fei asked lightly.
Short period of stagnation.
Grant's mind turned very quickly, and after panicking, he immediately adjusted his thoughts, pretended not to hear his question, knelt on the deck and stretched out his arms to the sky, and said reverently: "Ah, God, please let me go fishing this time with a full load, and bring back a delicious seafood feast for everyone, in that case the captain will give me a lot of rewards, and then I will be able to soak in the beauty of France." ”
Bang!
Zheng Fei fired a shot into the air and said loudly: "Get up!"
Grant was stunned, kept his arms raised, and slowly turned around, staring at the two with fierce faces on their faces, and forced a smile: "Captain, you are here." ”
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you are going to drive the ship away under my banner?"
"It's been a long time since I've eaten delicious sardines, I want to improve the food for everyone, if you don't say it, they won't let me sail to sea"
"The reason is good, give it a thumbs up. Zheng Fei lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, stared at his hand vigilantly, and said, "Take off your clothes." ”
Grant scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I shouldn't be under your banner, I'm sorry Captain, please don't punish me for swimming in the water, there are piranhas in this water." ”
"Take off your clothes and throw it over, I'm not going to force you into the water, trust me. ”
Grant pouted, silently took off his shirt and threw it over, and Santiago caught it.
Santiago shook off his clothes, smiled knowingly, and whispered to Zheng Fei: "Old fox, no wonder you want him to take off his clothes, it turns out that he has a flying knife in his clothes." ”
Zheng Fei smiled and responded: "Do you remember in the port of Barcelona, he saved me by hitting Alonso's hand with a flying knife, he is a master of playing with knives." ”
With that, he put the musket on the ground, walked up to Grant, looked him in the eye, and said, "You saved me." ”
"Thank you for remembering. Grant said with a shrug.
"In the past few months, you have followed my fleet and done a lot of dirty things, and the reason why I have repeatedly tolerated you is because I keep reminding myself that you saved me. ”
