Xiao Ming has spent several nights on the ship, and gradually he is no longer seasick. According to what he said when he got on the boat that day, he took the initiative to cook the next day. The amount of food eaten by twenty or so big men is really not small, but fortunately, these people only eat two meals a day. Xiao Tian will get up and practice with Tie Yan before dawn, and after the minions of the night vigil are handed over, they will start to prepare a day's food, and the work of washing pots and dishes after each meal is naturally covered. In this way, there is only a little free time in the afternoon, and you can lie down on the deck for a while. At the end of every day, he felt that his bones were falling apart, but he didn't dare to let people see it, and it seemed to be over by gritting his teeth. Although his cooking skills were not very good, he was more than enough to deal with these rough people, and after a few meals, the whole ship looked at him differently.

Since the first night of frightening, Xiao Ming has never been left alone very cleverly, and when he sees Li Er, he just acts as if nothing has happened. Over the course of a few days, I learned a little bit about the characters on the ship, and I heard these things from Hassan's mouth.

Speaking of the leader Tie Yan, he is a figure hated by the government in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian. He was born in a Chinese family in Ningbo, ranked second in the family, there is a disabled brother since childhood, his father opened a pharmacy, although the family is not rich, but his father is kind and filial piety, and he is a good family envied by the neighborhood. Tie Yan has excellent arm strength since he was a child, he likes guns and sticks, and when he was five or six years old, he worshipped his master in the martial arts hall in the city, and by the time he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was already the most outstanding disciple in the martial arts hall. In order to go to the next level, Tie Yan ignored his parents' opposition, ran away from home, and learned several stunts under the Shaolin Gate by chance, and was the best at single knife and grappling. After completing his studies, he was worried about his family, and he came back to find an errand in Ningbo Mansion, and soon he was promoted to the chief catcher because of his outstanding martial arts. At that time, Tie Yan's father was very old, and under the persuasion of his family, he hired someone to take care of the shop and live at home for a long time. Tie Yan has worked in the government for three or four years, solved countless large and small cases, and knows the trust of the government. What's even more rare is that he takes care of the whole family by himself, and he is very thoughtful. No matter how busy he is, he never leaves his family behind. In this way, the family lived peacefully with Hemeimei, and in the fourth year of being the head of the shop, someone told Tie Yan a good family affair, and he would soon marry a bride. But at this time, something happened.

One day, the old man selling dumplings in Dongcheng suddenly went to the yamen to beat the drum and complain. The old man who sold rice balls was surnamed Gao, and he made good rice balls, but his son died early under his knees, leaving only one granddaughter to rely on for his life. Although the soup ball shop in the east of the city is small, it has been in business for decades and is a famous shop in Ningbo. The prefect Shengtang asked, it turned out that a few days ago, a rich son from other places was eating rice balls in Gao Laohan's shop, and he fell in love with Gao Laohan's granddaughter. The old man didn't allow it, so he sent a family member to throw down a dozen taels of silver and rob the person the next day. On this day, I happened to meet Tie Yan on duty in the hall, and when I heard it, I was angry, so I immediately asked the prefect for a token, and took a group of servants to the manor where the prince temporarily lived in the suburbs to get people. When I arrived at the manor, I saw that the boy was arrogant, and said to Tie Yandao, his father was the envoy Cui of Zhejiang, and if he dared to get along with him, he didn't want a job. How do you know that Tie Yan can't look down on this kind of bullying official young master, without saying a word, he first taught this son and his subordinates a lesson, and then locked it and took it to the mansion. But the prefect is a scholar in the end, many years of officialdom, he knows the powerful relationship, and after passing the hall in a mess, he privately accompanied Cui Gongzi, invited the best Lang Zhong to treat his injuries, and set up a banquet to entertain him, and persuaded him with good words, and finally said that Cui Gongzi gave Gao Laohan an extra fifty taels of silver, and the case was over. Although Tie Yan was angry, he was helpless. I thought it was over. But after all, I can't hide from it.

A few days later, Tie Yan was ordered to go to Zhoushan to handle the case, and he went for more than ten days, but when he came back, he learned that something had happened at home. Tie Yan's elder brother Tie Shunsheng has a stubborn disease, his legs and feet are not dexterous, and his mind is also a little impaired, so he can't make a living on weekdays, so he can only help his mother do some chores at home. On this day, Tie Shun was entrusted by his mother to go to his pharmacy to get some angelica. Soon after he came out of the store, he was dragged into an alley by several people, gagged and punched. Tie Mu waited at home for a long time and did not see her son come back, she was anxious, and was about to go out to look for it, but saw that the neighbors carried back Tie Shun, who was not awake, and a kind person immediately went to invite Lang Zhong. Tie Shun was already weak, he could withstand the beating of several people, he broke several ribs, and his organs were bleeding, but fortunately he was able to save his life. When asked about everyone, everyone gossiped, and they didn't know who he was beaten. When Tie Yan came back from Zhoushan, he saw that his eldest brother was beaten like this, and he was surprised and angry, but he couldn't find out. One night two days later, Tie Yan noticed that there seemed to be people walking around outside the back door, so he quietly went to investigate, and sure enough, there were two people dressed as housekeepers sneaking up on the wall to look at his house. Tie Yan immediately thought of the beating of his eldest brother, and without saying a word, he dragged the two of them into the backyard. Under questioning, it turned out that the two were Cui Gongzi's family members, and they were ordered by Gongzi that day to teach Tie Yan's family a lesson, and beat Tie Shun to a serious injury outside the pharmacy, and the family members were also afraid of their lives afterwards, so the two secretly came to check at night, not wanting to be found out so easily.

Tie Yan was furious, Cui Gongzi just looked for himself, knowing that revenge would not succeed, he would attack his family, and he must not let go of this shameless villain like this. That night, despite the dissuasion of his parents, Tie Yan broke into Cui Gongzi's house alone with two family members and discounted one of Cui Gongzi's legs. The next day, after Tie Yan calmed down, he knew that he had an impulse and had destroyed the building, so he went to the prefect and surrendered. The prefect understood the cause and effect, and also had the intention to close the case for him, so he temporarily imprisoned him while settling Cui Gongzi. Originally, I planned to release the iron rock after this limelight. However, Cui Gongzi is the only son of the Inspector Adult, and the Cui Lord's love for his son is heartfelt, and the black and white are reversed, so he immediately went up to the prefect to transfer the prefect to another post. Before leaving, the prefect entrusted someone to leave a letter to the next prefect, explaining the reason and asking him to release Tie Yan and resume his original post. But who knows, the new prefect is a student of Master Cui, so he suppressed Tie Yan's case and ignored it ever since. Tie Yan repeatedly asked the new prefect to request a retrial from the new prefect many times in prison, but the new prefect refused on the grounds that the case was closed. In this way, I spent a year in prison.

In the winter of that year, there was continuous frost and snow in the Ningbo area, and the plague broke out. On weekdays, Tie Yan's mother regularly asks someone to send clothes, wine and food, but this time it has been almost a month and there is no news from the family. Many of the officials also fell ill and went home to rest. finally waited for an acquaintance and promised to help him go to the house to have a look. The man came back to Tie Yan Road, the two elders of his family were seriously ill and seemed to be dying, and his eldest brother had died a few days ago, and no one had come to collect the body, so the neighbors had gathered a thin-skinned coffin. Since Tie Yan was imprisoned and the new prefect took office, Tie Yan's parents have asked the prefect to retry the case several times, but the cost was not enough, so they sold the pharmacy.

These news were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and in an instant, the iron rock fell into an ice cellar. Just because of an impulse to teach the wicked a lesson, in exchange for the destruction of the family, but he is still here to abide by the law and go to prison, delusional to one day still be his good citizen!

The next day, news spread in the city of Ningbo. Tie Yan, the former chief catcher, escaped from prison, wounded dozens of government soldiers, kidnapped the prefect, threatened the prefect's head, and forcibly opened the city gate with his seriously ill parents, and did not know where he went. Later, there was a big thief on the green forest road in Zhejiang and Fujian, who specialized in robbing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and wherever he went, the local defenders had no way to take him. After a few years, Tie Yan's subordinates gradually increased, and he happened to know some people who went to sea to do business, so he changed his career to smuggling, and in recent years, he has made a lot of money in the smuggling salt and ordnance business in the Nanyang area.

Hassan told the story of every character on the ship vividly, and Xiao Ming listened to it from time to time.

One day, Hassan told Xiao Ming his story. It turned out that Hassan's family was originally a wealthy merchant from Baghdad, who had been doing business in China for generations, dealing in spices, silk and porcelain. And Ali was originally the bodyguard of Hassan's family. A few years ago, Hassan came to China with his father's fleet, and on the way he encountered the most ferocious pirate gang in Malacca, the merchant ship was robbed, Hassan's father and all the sailors on board were killed by the pirates, only he and Ali escaped in a small boat, and later met Tieyan's ship to save their lives. Tie Yan saw that Ali was a good hand, and Hassan was literate and could do arithmetic, so he agreed to join them. Hassan told Xiao Ming that Tie Yan was a good man, and he would not suffer losses with him, and when he made enough money in the future, he would still have to buy a boat with Ali and go back to his hometown. Hassan's box of books were all bought sporadically in the past few years. He said that in his hometown, people who have read the books of Chinese sages are very respected. So he has been studying for the past few years, but there is no one around him to communicate, and he has not made much progress. Hassan also knows many stories about their country. When I'm in a good mood, I'll talk a few to Xiao Ming in the evening. The world in the story sounds very magical to Xiao Ming, and he secretly thinks about going to see it in the future.

After a few days of sailing, it seems that we are about to arrive in Luzon.

That afternoon, Xiao Ming finished washing the pots and bowls and sat under the mast to watch Baron make a crossbow machine. Baron is a Siamese who moved to Yunnan to make Burmese swords for a living, and later a tribe joined the Ming army on an expedition to Yunnan, and after the war, he returned to Nanjing with the Ming army because of his extraordinary skill in making weapons. As a young man, Baron worked as a firearms craftsman in the Shenji Camp in Nanjing, but later accidentally detonated a powder magazine, seriously wounding him and burning half of his face. Seeing that he was already half dead, he didn't pursue it anymore and drove him out of the barracks. Because of his ugly face and introverted nature, he is often regarded as a monster. After recovering from his injuries, Baron went to a small county town and opened a blacksmith shop to make farming tools for a living. But he likes to make weapons since he was a child, and he has no other hobbies on weekdays, except for drinking some wine, he secretly builds all kinds of strange weapons in his own workshop. An occasional opportunity was discovered by Tie Yan, who planned to do an ordnance business, and if he found a treasure, he immediately pulled him into the gang. This person rarely speaks, and usually hides in the corner and fiddles with himself. The guns on these ships have been improved by Baron, and the firing range is more than ten kilometers longer than that of ordinary guns, and the accuracy is excellent. Therefore, although this person is a little weird, he has the ability, and everyone still gives him three points. Xiao Ming was very grateful because of the appearance of Balon that night, which allowed him to escape from Li Er's clutches, and felt that although Balon was ugly, he was a good person, so he was often willing to sit next to Balon and watch him fiddle with all kinds of strange things.

While Xiao Ming was looking at the Balon repair crossbow machine, he heard Zhang Hu and Wang Datou saying, why did Lin Xiang not come to answer when he saw that it was almost here. Xiao Ming turned his head to look at Tie Yan who was standing on a high place, and saw that he was looking at him at this time, and his expression seemed to be a little nervous. Xiao Ming stood up and looked out of the side of the boat, thousands of miles of blue waves, calm and calm, as if there was nothing wrong, so he stretched his waist and went to the back cabin to make dinner.
