Where the sea and the sky meet, a rising sun rises over the rippling sea, and the glittering sea turns from pale yellow to golden red. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mast sail slowly rose, and the morning light cast a golden layer on it. The juxtaposed catamaran, like a giant sea turtle, slid clumsily and deftly into the sea. The two heavy-building, double-sailed red-masted ships, after some repairs, followed closely in high spirits. The three ships set sail and began a new journey.

Lan Xin stood at the stern of the boat, clearly seeing the traces left by them when they set up camp, and the green smoke wafting from the unburned grass and trees. The ship moved slowly forward, and everything on the island became farther and farther away, gradually blurring and becoming invisible. Alas! Lan Xin sighed meaninglessly. Everything about the island was gradually blurred, and she knew that it could only be regarded as an ethereal dream, and the cleaner she forgot about it, the better.

The black beans fluttered their wings, sometimes hovering in the air, sometimes landing on the mast, sometimes staring blankly at the sea. The boat traveled for half an hour, and the black beans landed on the railing beside Lan Xin, following Lan Xin's example, looking into the distance.

Lan Xin lowered his eyes and looked at the black bean standing quietly beside him, and felt reluctant for a while. Reaching out and gently stroking its feathers, he whispered, "I know you can only send us here, go back." Back to your home, the people on the island are still waiting for you!"

Black Bean didn't speak for a long time and didn't respond. Just staring at the waves of the boat, letting the sea breeze blow its feathers into a mess. "That feather can keep the sea safe. "The black bean's voice was very low, and most of it was blown away by the sea breeze. But Lan Xin still understood its words, nodded and promised: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely keep that feather." ”

"Sister, take care!" Black Bean sighed, spread his wings, and rushed out of the sea like an arrow off the string, and soon turned into a black dot.

"Girl・・・・・・" Qinghe shouted with tears as she looked at the black dots that disappeared into the sea. This little thing without a conscience, just flew away. "Girl, will we ever encounter it again?"

Lan Xin clasped her hands in front of her chest, the sea breeze raised her hair, blowing her clothes to hunt, looked at the direction where the black beans disappeared, and said softly, "No." Everything here is a dream. ”

Qinghe pursed her mouth and wanted to ask why, but after thinking about it, she finally didn't ask, just nodded. The girl said forget it, forget it.

The boat was on course, and the journey was smooth, and soon reached the island where it was supposed to go. Lan Xin used the goods brought by the ship to exchange for some local specialties and a lot of rosewood. The catamaran was already full, and the two heavy brigs, one full of rosewood, the other half full of rosewood, and the other half full of other cargo.

Everything is settled, and it can be said that it is a full load. Then he turned around and sailed back. The return trip was quite smooth, although there were some rainy weather, but after the previous storm, now they are calm and calm.

Lan Xin leaned on the couch and looked at the fragrant dew and fat powder recipes he had bought on the island. Qinghe sat at the table, intently tinkering with her pearl powder. She heard that using pearl powder to make fat powder can make fat powder more delicate and will make the skin better.

She immediately became interested and wanted to make some fat powder by herself. Lan Xin was also tinkered with by her, anyway, the last thing she lacked in her hand now was pearls. Not counting what she brought back from the island, it was the Han brothers who led everyone to fish out three boxes of pearls from the sea. It's just that the quality of those pearls is uneven, large and small, and the color is also red and white. Anyway, they're real pearls!

A knock on the door interrupted the silence in the cabin. Qinghe picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped his hands, and got up to open the door. Seeing Xue Shan, who was standing outside anxiously, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's Brother Lan who came over, and he said that he had something to ask the girl. Even though Xue Shan's face was anxious, his voice was still very steady.

Lan Xin put away the things in his hand and pulled his hair together. Qinghe walked over quickly to put on her shoes, smoothed out the folds on her clothes, followed Lan Xin, and walked out. "Where's Big Brother Lan?" Lan Xin asked as he walked out.

"Brother Lan is waiting in the hall! Looking at him, he looks like he has encountered something urgent. Xue Shan took a step behind Lan Xin and said as he walked.

As soon as Lan Xin stepped into the hall, he saw Lan Yi rubbing his hands, walking back and forth, looking very anxious. "Brother Lan, what's wrong? so anxious?" Lan Xin asked with a frown. Her crisp voice was calm and calm, as if it could calm people's hearts.

Lan Yi also felt that he had lost his temper, and when he bowed, he was no longer as impetuous as before. He bowed down and said, "Back girl, there is a boat in front of us asking for help." ”

"What kind of ship, can you tell me the reason for asking for help?" Lan Xin asked suspiciously. Uh, Lan Yi was stunned in his heart, he didn't ask about this. I was secretly annoyed that I was impatient, and when I saw someone asking for help, I hurried over to ask for instructions, and I didn't know anything else. Lan Xin didn't want to see him embarrassed, so he nodded and said, "Let's go out and have a look together." ”

Qinghe hurriedly took a cloak and put it on for her girl, and put the hood on. Today the sea is foggy and humid, so be careful and don't catch a cold.

A few people boarded the deck, and the sea was foggy, and it was impossible to see it really. Xiongfei was standing there with a few people, waving flags with each other. Lan Xin asked, "Do you know where the other party's fleet is, and why do you call for help?"

Xiongfei said respectfully: "The other party said that they met pirates and escaped by luck and survived. The boat was a little damaged and had started to leak, so they asked us for help. Perhaps because of the fight against the pirates, their flagpole was broken, and they couldn't see the flag clearly, and they didn't know where their fleet was. ”

"How do you usually deal with such a thing when you cross the sea at sea?" Lan Xin asked curiously, squinting his eyes as he looked at the ship opposite.

Lan Yi hurriedly replied: "There is an unwritten rule on the sea, that is, when a ship or person asks for help, you must lend a hand, otherwise it will make the sea god angry." ”

Lan Xin nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let their boat come over." Looking at the ship going down the wind, he ordered Xiongfei to bring a dozen or so people over to pick it up. Let Lan Yi adjust the bow of the boat to make it easier for the other party's people to get on the boat.

The sea breeze blew the flags and whistling, Lan Xin looked at the ships that were getting closer and closer, and ordered people to board the boats and let them get on the boat.
