Chapter 182: Misfortune (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Chai Yanfeng's master is not a shipbuilder, at least, he is not a well-known shipbuilder in various countries. He is nothing more than a drift with his fleet from one sea to another, from country to country. He was a fanatic about all kinds of boats, and he had a natural love for the sea and boats. He could sleep for days and nights studying the construction of a certain ship.
Other times, he's a sloppy old man who doesn't pay attention to what he eats and drinks. He also has a good heart, so he took Chai Yanfeng in.
His master was never short of money. Because, his master has another identity, that is, "Yike".
The so-called e-ke is the name used by all countries for those who engage in illegal maritime trade, that is, smugglers.
Chai Yanfeng didn't understand these at the beginning, because it seemed that everything was normal, getting on the boat, docking, doing some business with the people on the shore, and then going to sea. Chai Yanfeng also slowly learned some ways to identify goods from his master, and slowly understood the market in various places. So he also began to buy more or less things, buy low, sell high, and make some money. It wasn't until he was a little older that he realized that in the laws of the Great Theater Dynasty, and even in the laws of various countries, civilians were strictly forbidden to engage in maritime transactions without permission.
And among the objects of his master's trade, there were even some pirates.
In the eyes of the Yikes, there are only people who sell goods and buy goods, and there is no distinction between countries, civilians, or pirates. Most of these people are home from all over the world, and they are alone. Most of the time they make money just for pleasure. Maybe the money you earn today will be spent tomorrow. Then it's time to go to sea again.
Chai Yanfeng's master is different. He loved ships, so he had silver on hand. It's all spent on that. It is either used to buy relevant ancient books, or it is used to bribe the boatman to let him get on someone else's ship to see. He even broke the bank and bought a hulk ship to study and try to restore.
Master's apprentice is actually not the only one Chai Yanfeng. There is a boy who followed the master on the boat half a year earlier than Chai Yanfeng, Chai Yanfeng has always called him senior brother, and he also takes care of the master's diet and daily life with him.
Master's idle nature has affected Chai Yanfeng to some extent. So, apart from not squandering the money he earned. Other times, I just looked at the sea, and then I accompanied Master to tinker with those ship models.
But the senior brother is different, he is very active. Mingle with many people on the boat, and always run before and after on land. Later, he became more and more closely related to the pirates.
It is true that Master's fleet will also bring spices and cloth from the inland. Drugs and other things are traded to pirates. But, after all, they won't get too close to these rogues and hooligans at sea.
But when the senior brother found out that the master's shipbuilding skills, which he was not interested in, were so advanced, he thought that he had a quarrel with the master.
Senior brother was not satisfied with staying on the ship all day long, only selling some rare goods to earn a few silver, he had a big opinion on the master's refusal to sell human beings, and now. And one more: Master refused to sell his ship drawings to pirates.
Pirates, the existence of headaches for many countries. There are many reasons why they continue to be banned: they are all well-versed in water and familiar with almost many of the nearby seas; They are scattered and can advance and retreat freely. However, the most important thing is that among the pirates, there are often very good shipbuilders, and their ships are stronger than the ships of other countries!
Therefore, every country near the sea, every year, there will be a lot of losses due to pirate attacks. But, even so, they had nothing to do with the pirates. Because there is no trace of pirates at all! Even if you find it, you can't catch up!
If the master listened to the words of the senior brother and handed over the ship maps he had researched to the pirates, one can imagine how much each country would lose as a result, and how many people along the coast would suffer. Therefore, Master disagreed.
Master is willing to sell things to pirates, but because there are many innocent civilians in the pirates' homeland, and besides, if he offends the pirates, he will not be able to go to sea in the future. But he didn't want to make life more difficult for the people near the sea in various countries because of himself.
As a result, hidden dangers are buried.
"I kept telling the public that my injuries were caused by falling off my horse, but I wasn't."
Chai Yanfeng said. The tone was embarrassed, "My injury was actually hit by the bottom of the boat after falling into the water." ...... day"
On that day, Chai Yanfeng's senior brother and master finally quarreled again about whether to sell the boat drawing.
"That time, they quarreled very fiercely, Master is usually very easy-going, he loves me and my brother very much, in my eyes, Master is almost a temperless person. However, that day, the master was angry and shouted loudly to drive the senior brother off the boat. And also said that he would never see him again. ”
"Master is actually very stubborn. What he has decided will never be easily changed, just as his own caravan is not allowed to sell people, then no one on his ship is allowed to do it. He said that if his boat plan was not sold, then he would never sell it.
Master said at that time that when the boat was docking, he would let the senior brother get off the boat. From now on, each will go his own way. ”
"I was thinking that I would persuade Master to take back his life. Unexpectedly, that night, something happened......"
Speaking of this, Chai Yanfeng stopped, pain flashing across his face. It was as if the recollection of that day was enough to make his heart ache. Shu Jin listened on the side, did not urge, just silently held the boat model, waiting for his next step. She knew very well that the matter was in the past, and no amount of comfort would be in vain. It's better to let him tell the things in his heart.
It was only after a long time that he continued.
It turned out that that night, the senior brother ran to the master's house to steal the boat map. The senior brother is active by nature and can't calm down, so he can't read a few words. On weekdays, he doesn't care about Master's ship drawings, and unlike Chai Yanfeng, he often stays there when his master is studying ships, and he also learns a lot about shipbuilding by the way, and his senior brother can't even read ship drawings. Therefore, after rummaging around, he couldn't discern which was the most useful boat map. As a result of this delay, Master returned.
When the master found out that the senior brother dared to steal his ship plan without authorization, he was so angry that he couldn't do it.
The two quarreled even more this time, but what people didn't expect was that this time the senior brother was ruthless and must get the master's boat map. He actually hid a dagger and wanted to threaten the master.
Chai Yanfeng's cabin was next door, and he heard the quarrel between the two, so he naturally came to stop it. But the master and the senior brother were already entangled at that time. He was about to step forward and try to separate the two, but it was too late.
The senior brother stabbed the master in the heart on the spot, and the master fell. By the time people heard Chai Yanfeng's shouts and arrived, Master's injuries had been powerless. Senior Brother didn't expect that he would really kill Master, so he froze in place. (To be continued......)
