Chapter 179: Out to Sea

The banquet at Chen Wen's mansion was extremely comfortable, no one advised him to drink, and there was a lot less red tape, Chen Hongyi took the lead in tearing off a crab claw and smashing the meat to eat.

Chen Hongyi used his actions to demonstrate to Li Xiaofei and them, saving them a lot of embarrassment.

After the meal, the servants brought coconut water for them to drink, and Murong Qing thought it was some kind of animal's milk.

"It's the milk that only comes from the seaside, right?"

"Yes, this milk is only available on the coconut trees by the sea!" Chen Wen replied seriously

"You can drink it, if you like, send a few cars to the county guard tomorrow!" Chen Hongyi arranged it immediately

This meal, Li Xiaofei and the others were all overwhelmed, and when they returned to the county guard's mansion, it was already late at night.

The county guard has long since hung red lanterns, and even the old wooden door has been removed and replaced with a new red lacquered gate.

The house is brightly lit, but you can't smell the candles, and the lights are exceptionally bright.

The servant introduced Li Xiaofei, "Lord County Guard, this is a lamp made of merman's oil, just keep it lit!" ”

Li Xiaofei felt that this was too wasteful, and Hongrui smiled, "I didn't think there were really sharks in this world, I thought it was just a legend."

Looking at the brand-new furnishings in the house, Li Xiaofei couldn't help but sigh that this Chen family is indeed powerful, this county guard, if it is abandoned, it will be abandoned, and if it is restored, it will be restored in another day.

However, Hua Xiaoan always felt that something was missing, and looked around.

"My lord, it seems that this county guard doesn't even have a guard at the gate, not only the county guard's mansion, but even Chen Wen's mansion doesn't seem to have a few soldiers?"

"It's quite strange, could it be that there are no soldiers and horses in this Nanhai County?" Li Xiaofei muttered to himself

The servant who led them in front interjected: "Lord Li, the soldiers of Nanhai County are the people, and the people are the soldiers, except for the hundreds of people who defend the city, the rest are usually at home!" ”

"All at home? What if a thief comes? Li Xiaofei asked him

"As soon as the people of the same village shouted, the whole village went out, whether it was a thief on the sea or a thief on the ground, we had to fight with them to the end!"

With this explanation, Li Xiaofei has to admire, such an army will fight to the death without mobilizing at all, nothing is more important than protecting his family!

"No wonder Nanhai County is so rich, most of the money for raising soldiers has been saved! I think Old Lord Chen, they must have taught you a lot of martial arts! Hongrui analyzed

"Madam Mingjian, it's true, the generals under Old Prince Chen take turns to teach the techniques of water and land warfare in various villages throughout the year! It's not too early, so please rest early! ”

So saying, some of the servants and maids brought the bath water for them to wash.

After settling down for a few days, Chen Hongyi sent someone to pick up Li Xiaofei.

This person entered the county guard's mansion, and before the servant could report, Li Xiaofei opened his arms and pounced: "Third Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" I lost a lot of weight."

"Haha, maybe I ate too much seafood and lost weight! You kid is actually blessed to come to Nanhai County to be a county guard! The old prince told me to take you to sea today! ”

"Out to sea? I haven't even asked about the affairs of this city, so I'm going to play, it's not appropriate! ”

"Nanhai County is generally fine, and the trivial things in the Central Plains that steal chickens and dogs fight for fields have been solved in the village, where will there be trouble in the county guard's mansion! Coupled with the fact that everyone else has their own duties, you just have to enjoy the blessings! ”

Zhu Asantong explained that Li Xiaofei thought about it, and it was really like this, except for some officials who came to visit him politely in the past few days, there was nothing to do with him at all

Reason.

"Then I might as well obey my fate respectfully, so I followed Third Brother Zhu to meet Old Prince Chen and go to sea together!"

Li Xiaofei, who has been traveling south and north for many years, saw the real sea for the first time in his life.

Seeing the waves crashing on the beach, Li Xiaofei was about to catch up, but Zhu Asan grabbed him: "Brother, I can't help it, if you rush up at this time, you will follow the waves together!" ”

Chen Hongyi laughed in the back: "Many people who saw the sea for the first time failed to go back!" When this wave is offshore, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't break free, you can only be swept away together, and after being swept away, it is basically nine deaths and one life! ”

Zhou Dapeng and Tian Erzhuang were carrying out a canoe from the grass: "Uncle, the boat is still good, you can go to sea!" ”

"Out to sea? Just this canoe? Li Xiaofei opened his mouth wide and looked at the endless sea not far away

"Yes, our fishermen in Nanhai County rely on this boat to go out to sea to fish!"

"Such a small boat goes to sea, and a wave hits, won't it capsize!" Li Xiaofei said he couldn't believe it

"Zhu Asan, you go and show this kid!" Chen Hongyi shouted

Zhu Asan and Zhou Tian immediately lifted the canoe into the water, and Zhu Asan jumped onto the canoe, half-squatting down and grabbing the sides of the boat.

"The waves are up!" With Zhu Asan's shouting, even the boat and the people were swept into the waves, rushing straight to the waves, and Li Xiaofei's heart was in his throat.

Immediately after the people and the boat disappeared, Li Xiaofei shouted: "Go and save Third Brother Zhu!" ”

Chen Hongyi and the others just laughed, Li Xiaofei was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and after a while, Zhu Asan came out in a canoe and waved at Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei was very embarrassed: "This, didn't you say that being swept away when this wave is offshore is a life of nine deaths?" This? ”

Zhou Dapeng pointed at Zhu Asan: "Originally, he was dead and lifeless, but he had an extra canoe under his feet, and he had a way to live!" ”

Tian Erzhuang patted Li Xiaofei's shoulder: "We won't sell it to you, this kind of canoe can withstand the lapping of the waves, as long as people don't fall, they can survive." ”

Behind Zhu Asan, hundreds of large and small ships appeared one after another, and Chen Hongyi nodded with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Fei, this is your sailor!" ”

Li Xiaofei took a closer look at the ships on the sea, all of them were fishing boats and cargo ships, with neither flags nor conspicuous markings: "Master, this is the sailor of Nanhai County?" But this too? ”

"It's so informal, I know you want to say that! But here in Nanhai County, we don't care about these details, whether he hangs the flag or not, paints the mark or not, as long as he can win the enemy, he is a hero! ”

Chen Hongyi's words reminded Li Xiaofei that when he first met Chen Hongyi, he felt that Chen Jiajun was not very formal, and it turned out to be traditional.

Chen Hongyi continued: "The army and martial arts are actually the same thing, no matter how many tricks there are, it is not as good as the reality of being able to win!" It's the first time you've gone to sea with us, and it's a pinch for you to get on a boat like Ah San! Let's go, the big ship is coming to pick you up! ”

The big ship Chen Hongyi was talking about was the largest cargo ship among the hundreds of big ships, and it was dropping anchor and dropping ingots at the moment, and the sailors put down a few rows of soft ladders and a few small boats, rowing small boats to pick up Chen Hongyi and them.

Li Xiaofei stepped on the sand on the beach, and under the escort of Zhou Dapeng and Tian Erzhuang, he got into a small boat and rowed towards the cargo ship.

When he arrived at the side of the cargo ship, Li Xiaofei hesitated when he looked at the soft ladder that swayed and swayed from time to time

Chen Hongyi was the first to climb the soft ladder in front of him, and it didn't take a few clicks to board the big boat, and Chen Hongyi threw it down

A rope: "Tie it around his waist!" lest he fall down if he doesn't hold on for a while! ”

Zhou Dapeng immediately picked up the rope and wrapped it around Li Xiaofei's waist: "Go up!" And we're down there! Don't be afraid! ”

Li Xiaofei stubbornly grabbed the soft ladder and went up step by step, and when he reached the side of the ship, Chen Hongyi pulled him over.

Li Xiaofei sat on the deck, panting heavily, and then held his head with both hands: "This, the sea is too much"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaofei vomited heavily.

The sailors on the deck immediately brought water and handkerchiefs for Li Xiaofei to wipe.

Li Xiaofei lay on the deck with his eyes closed: "This sea is really a life of death!" If I meet an enemy at sea, I'll lose before I can fight! ”

Immediately followed by another burst of retching, Chen Hongyi touched his forehead: "Don't talk yet, don't blame us for being ruthless, stay a few more days and you'll be fine!" ”

Li Xiaofei nodded, and continued to close his eyes and listen to the constant call of seagulls and the sound of waves.

Zhou Dapeng moved a bag of rice for Chen Hongyi to sit on.

Zhu Asan also climbed up the soft ladder: "This kid is really from the Central Plains, it seems that we have to go to sea for half a month this time!" ”

Li Xiaofei closed his eyes and thought that this was the first day, and if he stayed for another half a month, his life would be on the ship.

After a while, Zhu Asan was heard shouting the anchor and going to sea, and all the boats shouted and shouted.

For a moment, the sound of going out to sea overshadowed the sound of the waves and seagulls.

After an hour, the bumps were not as bad as before, Zhou Dapeng and Tian Erzhuang put Li Xiaofei up: "Look, we're going to fish in the sea!" ”

Li Xiaofei opened his eyes and saw hundreds of boats surrounding a sea area, and all the large and small fishing nets were thrown into the sea.

Li Xiaofei just watched, his head still hurt badly, and he didn't speak.

I saw that a net of large and small sea fish was dragged onto the boat, which lasted for half an hour, and then all the nets were closed, but the boat continued to surround it.

Li Xiaofei wondered why everyone didn't leave, and at this moment, Zhu Asan raised a two-zhang long harpoon with both hands and aimed it at a large bubble in the sea

"It's coming! All ready guys! ”

As soon as he said that he was ready, Li Xiaofei looked around, and more than a dozen big ships didn't know when some bed crossbows would come out.

Is this formation dealing with the Sea Dragon King?

"The big fish is out! Shoot! Zhou Dapeng waved the red flag in his hand

In an instant, a fish the size of a building boat jumped out of the water, setting off a huge wave that capsized many small boats

At this moment, thousands of harpoons and spears shot from bed crossbows rushed towards the big fish.

The big fish struggled desperately, but many of the harpoons were tied to the boat with ropes attached to them, and they pulled the big fish together.

The big fish let out a mournful cry that shook the sky, like the wail of animals such as cows and sheep when they are dying.

The big fish struggled desperately for a long time, and finally stopped moving, and the blood of the big fish had stained the entire sea area red.

At this time, many fish of about one or two feet came and tore the carcass of the big fish.

Zhou Dapeng continued to wave the order flag: "No one is left!" Drag it all back! ”

Li Xiaofei smelled the violent smell of blood, and fainted with retching again.

When he woke up, it was getting late, the big ship had already anchored and stopped on the shore, and Chen Hongyi personally brought him a bowl of ginger tea and white rice porridge for him to eat and drink.

At this time, Li Xiaofei was so hungry that he didn't feel a headache, so he drank ginger tea and white rice porridge and continued to rest on the boat for one night.
