Chapter 65: Dinner
Bai Sha has not climbed the mast to sleep for a long time, holding the "tow child" and overlooking the entire fleet.
Since going to sea in Quanzhou, Baisha has experienced a lot of things with the fleet, and this young man who has lived in a small town since he was a child has seen the world, broadened his horizons, and offended many forces on the sea.
Since he left alone, how to get to Luzon has become a headache, and now the fleet docked on this island knows Baisha, they will not take Baisha, and Baisha will not take their boat to Luzon, because this will expose his whereabouts and will not have the effect of concealment. The only way to do this is to wait for the arrival of a new fleet, but no one knows when it will appear.
In order to celebrate the victory of this operation, Baisha has arranged for all the crew to gather on the shore tonight and have dinner together. In the past, when the fleet was still small, all the crew would get together and set up a cauldron to eat and drink together when they landed at the first two supply points, but after the fleet grew, everyone didn't gather here, so today the crew members seemed very excited.
For the fleet, it was a victorious dinner, and for Baisha, it was a parting dinner. The crew began to get busy preparing for tonight's feast, while Bai Sha held the "drag child" and stayed on the mast until dark.
As night fell, countless fires lit on the shore, turning the shore into a sparkling fire, and the meat was not yet fully cooked, but the crew was already singing and dancing and reveling, and the white sand got off the mast and joined the crowd.
Zheng Zhilong knew that Bai Sha had been on the mast all day, which was something that Bai Sha had often done before, but he didn't feel anything abnormal.
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong are in a special location, the crew has specially placed seats for them, and of course each ship also has a place, so that the main characters of the fleet are gathered together.
While chatting, all the ingredients have been made, large plates and small bowls are constantly being served to the table, and the dishes are dazzling, colorful, fragrant, and full of color, flavor and flavor, which is the advantage of having a lot of people on the island, and many things can be bought.
The main figures of the fleet took turns to toast Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha, and Bai Sha's wine power had increased a lot during this time, but it could still only be regarded as average. Today, Baisha is a big drinker, ready to get drunk.
The wine I drank tonight was all bought from Sun Erniang's house, and almost emptied Sun Erniang's wine cellar......
Just when everyone was talking about the wine, the old man Yin Mole seemed to smell the fragrance of wine and came to him.
Tonight's Yin Mole can't be described as a sloppy old man.
I saw that Yin Mo finally changed into a set of clothes, although he still looked frugal, but the whole person looked clean and energetic, which was very different from his usual image.
Bai Sha watched Yin Mole's arrival and personally gave up his position. Yin Mole was not polite, and the big horn sat down.
"You kid, such a big scene, such a sweet wine, you don't invite me, it's just an angry old man." After sitting down, Yin Mo hurriedly took a sip of wine, and then began to sarcastically mock Baisha.
Bai Sha sneered, and moved a chair to sit next to Yin Mole.
Bai Sha told everyone that the person who saved his life last night was Yin Mole, Zheng Zhilong then remembered that it was indeed his operation mistake that he did not invite Yin Mole's predecessors, and seeing Yin Mole's coming, Zheng Zhilong was grateful, and hurriedly toasted and apologized.
Yin Mo is very talkative, and Zheng Zhilong doesn't feel any pressure in the face of such a master.
Zheng Zhilong solemnly introduced the Yin mole who came to everyone, and then it was amazing, the first mate's life-saving benefactor was everyone's life-saving benefactor, and he toasted again and again. Yin Mole's face is happy, and it has been a long time since she has had this feeling of "white prostitution".
It is a kind of etiquette to take turns to toast, and after the etiquette, everyone finds the corresponding person and drinks together.
The toasts stopped in turn, and Baisha's side gradually became cleaner, leaving only Yin Mo and Zheng Zhilong to accompany him.
"Senior, after drinking this meal, let's stay in the fleet tonight, and tomorrow I will pack up, and I invite the senior to join the fleet." Zheng Zhilong felt that there was no need for Bai Sha to continue to be stubborn, so he took it upon himself to take the initiative to invite Yin Mo to join the fleet.
Bai Sha just smiled and didn't refuse, now he couldn't ask Yin Mo to join the fleet, but Yin Mo said that if Bai Sha was not in the fleet, he would not join the fleet.
Yin Mo took a sip of wine, and to Bai Sha's surprise, he actually agreed to Zheng Zhilong's invitation.
Bai Sha's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.
Yin Mo said: "You two boys are too weak, let me send you to Luzon safely." ”
The island is already very close to Luzon, but with Yin Mole in charge, everything will be fine. Zheng Zhilong didn't care about Yin Mole's statement, if Yin Mole was comfortable, he would definitely continue to stay in the fleet when he arrived in Luzon.
At the end of dinner, it was already late at night, Bai Sha supported Yin Mole, who was walking crookedly, and Zheng Zhilong went to the front in advance to prepare the bed for Yin Mole.
Watching Zheng Zhilong go, Bai Sha finally asked, "Senior, you know that I have to leave, why did you choose to agree to Zheng Zhilong to join the fleet?" ”
Yin Mo said a little confused: "There is no conflict between you leaving and me joining the fleet, for me, it is nothing more than a change of place to drink, and it is free." After finishing speaking, Yin Mo couldn't help but burp a wine, and the smell of wine was smoky.
Bai Sha was choked by this wine burp, and it took a long time to recover.
"Thank you seniors for being willing to bring the fleet to Luzon, if they encounter any difficulties in Luzon, please ask the seniors to help again, how about you get paid for drinking during this time?" Bai Sha said custodianically.
Yin Mole is very happy today, and it seems that he will agree to all the requests. sighed and said: "In order to make friends with your kid with a little incense, I am afraid that you will regret it and be unwilling to be my apprentice, the old man can only do what you say, and he has to ask to join the fleet without shame, and he will suffer ......."
Bai Sha patted his chest and reassured: "Don't worry, I won't regret it, if it weren't for the current situation, I would worship you as a teacher on the spot." ”
An old man and a young man got on the warship with a conversation. After Bai Sha settled Yin Mole, he returned to his room.
Bai Sha thought to himself that if he really worshiped under the Yin Mole Sect in the future, wouldn't he want to change his name to Senior Brother Wei?
Bai Sha shook his head, shook off the unfounded thoughts in his heart, and returned to his room.
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong live in the same room, but Li Qiaoer may stay in this room longer than both of them.
You can see the joy on Zheng Zhilong's face, and he is happy to see Yin Mole joining the fleet.
Seeing Bai Sha arrive, Zheng Zhilong said happily: "Thanks to you, Senior Yin Mo will join the fleet." ”
Bai Sha had a look of course on his face.
Li Qiaoer obediently made a cup of hangover tea for Baisha, which was full of flattery.
I drank a lot of Baisha wine, but the thing I promised to help Li Qiaoer was not yet completed, so I joked: "Zheng Zhilong, Li Qiaoer treats you as a young master every day, you really sit back and enjoy it, you tell me, when will you give someone a name?" ”
Li Qiao'er didn't expect Bai Sha to be so direct, and even Zheng Zhilong stood aside.
Zheng Zhilong approached and touched Bai Sha's forehead, and said, "Did you drink too much?" ”
Bai Sha let go of Zheng Zhilong's hand and continued to let the other party answer his own questions.
With such a straightforward question, Zheng Zhilong can't change the topic, and there is no way to avoid it.
Bai Sha didn't feel anything, but Zheng Zhilong and Qiao'er were so embarrassed that they didn't even dare to make eye contact with each other.
The bell must be tied to the bell, Bai Sha continued to say slowly: "It's just a name, look at your stingy appearance." ”
Looking at Li Qiao'er, Bai Sha asked, "I'm afraid the location of the main room is a little difficult, but are you willing to let Zheng Zhilong accept you as a concubine?" ”
Li Qiao'er's little face was flushed, and before she could speak, the door was pushed open by Li Kuiqi.
"No! The words of the matchmaker of your parents, you actually discuss this kind of thing privately? Li Kuiqi said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing her father coming, Li Qiaoer angrily picked up a broom and drove Li Kuiqi out......
Li Kuiqi, who was kicked out of the door, changed his face and was very proud......
was troubled by Li Kuiqi, Li Qiaoer was even more ashamed, and her words that she was willing to be a concubine were interrupted.
Zheng Zhilong said: "I will only take one room in my life, and I will not accept concubines!" ”
Bai Sha looked at Li Qiao'er and said, "You go back to the house, I'll talk to Zheng Zhilong alone." ”
Li Qiao'er secretly made eye contact with Bai Sha and then left obediently.
Zheng Zhilong watched Li Qiao'er leave, looked at Bai Sha viciously and said, "What do you want to do, you always like this kind of thing, don't you understand that the twisted melon is not sweet?" ”
Bai Sha didn't care about Zheng Zhilong's fierce appearance at all, and said: "Only you know whether it is sweet or not, I just want to find someone to take care of you, I think Li Qiao'er is good!" ”
"I'm the captain, I have my own decisions, you don't have to worry about me." Zheng Zhilong said insistically.
Bai Sha looked at Zheng Zhilong's eyes and said, "You touch your conscience, you did treat Li Qiao'er as a sister in the past, and the same is true today?" ”
"Still." Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation.
Zheng Zhilong then looked at Bai Sha strangely, and said: "No, why are you weird today, even if I like Li Qiao'er, talking about marriage is a matter of the future, I don't worry about what you are anxious about?" Did you get hit by something last night? ”
Bai Sha said angrily: "It's my business, I'm just bored to ask." ”
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong spend the longest time together on weekdays, and when they parted, Bai Sha had a lot to say to him, but the two were too familiar, and Bai Sha was afraid that talking too much would arouse Zheng Zhilong's suspicion.
If Zheng Zhilong knew that Bai Sha was leaving, he would definitely stop it, there was no doubt about it.
Regarding Li Qiaoer's matter, Bai Sha can only help here temporarily.
Go to bed with lights out.
Bai Sha tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking carefully in his heart about what he had not yet explained.
In the end, Bai Sha still got up and went to Ergou's room, which was vacant and uninhabited after Ergou's death.
Bai Sha finally decided to leave a letter to Zheng Zhilong, and after preparing the pen and ink, Bai Sha began to draw ghost talismans.
