Chapter Eighty-Six: Tugugarao

Bai Sha didn't tell Yin Mo what he saw in the attic on the 'Ghost Green Boat' before he left again, and when he learned that Yin Mole's good friend was an old fish who brought him up, Bai Sha was even more determined to keep the secret in the attic.

Bai Sha must be lying on the ghost green boat, and the person who looks exactly like the old fish must be inseparable from the old fish, as for what is involved in this, Bai Sha still doesn't understand it for the time being, and Bai Sha decided to keep a secret in his heart for the time being.

Yin mole is good for Baisha, needless to say. Bai Sha also recognized the status of the two masters and apprentices in the end. When he said the word "Master", Bai Sha also had mixed feelings in his heart. As the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life, once Yin Mole is regarded as a master, Yin Mole's status is almost as high as the old fish who brought Baisha to the big one, and Baisha has one more relative in this world.

Bai Sha originally wanted to see Zheng Zhilong, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and there were too many people on that warship, so Bai Sha gave up.

After Bai Sha left, Yin Mo did not return to Qiu Tian's room, but sat alone on the deck drinking wine, savoring the word "Master" called out by Bai Sha, with an endless aftertaste......

Bai Sha didn't plan to go ashore at the dock in Luzon, Yin Mole had told him about the conversation with Li Yao on the warship tonight, and he knew that as long as the treasure map was still on Yin Mole and kept by him, the fleet would not be in danger for the time being. In this way, Baisha was not in a hurry to return to the fleet, and chose to go ashore closer to Luzon, and then make plans later.

The colorful arc that keeps flashing the tail of the spirit pet is an eye-catching existence, and now that Baisha has successfully rushed to Luzon, he does not pursue speed, so that the colorful arc of the spirit pet tail is hidden, and slowly sets off in an unknown direction.

The next morning, in a place called 'Tuguegarao', a man came ashore with a big cat, the man was Bai Sha, and Bai Sha was very eye-catching, and the big cat was dragging the baby because of the reminder that the big cat was dragging the child.

Luzon was the hub of maritime trade between Spain and the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and it was a place to make a fortune on the sea, but it was not very far from Luzon, that is, the place called 'Tuguegarao' where Baisha was located, and it did not flourish as expected.

There is a small market town near the shore of this place called Tugugarao, and the best way in the market town is probably a bluestone paved road outside the market town, but this is the white sand that has not entered the market town. The surface of the bluestone slab is uneven, and the spacing between each bluestone slab is too large, which makes the road look very uneven.

Most of the people in coastal areas will have fishing skills, as long as there is a market town near the sea, there will be a large or small wharf outside the market town, like Baisha boarding the wharf here I don't know if it can be described by the wharf, because there are only a few fishing boats docked outside, very small kind, and it is said to be a wharf, in fact, it is a small island paved with wooden planks extended by tall wooden stakes, which is very dilapidated, and there are no merchant ships docked here at all.

Baisha chose this place to go ashore because this pier has few people and looks relatively quiet. It's just that Bai Sha didn't expect this market town to be so dilapidated, and it looks like a poor place from the outside. At the entrance of the market town, on both sides of this bluestone paved road, the scene seen made Bai Sha couldn't help but feel distressed.

The first thing that caught my eye was two people, one was a blind man and the other was standing next to the blind man shouting words such as "Measure the good fortune and drive away ghosts and demons". The blind man was holding the erhu, while the other was holding the signboard, and the wall behind him was covered with yellow charms. There was no one on the bluestone road, probably because of the arrival of Baisha, but his shouting was loud.

Bai Sha has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he is not interested in such things as fortune-telling, so he has not stopped.

Watching Baisha walk by, the shouting person knew that this business was useless, so he lowered his shouting voice.

Further on, I watched a few old men leaning against the wall, one of whom was coughing incessantly, looking like he was caught with a cold. There was a young man sitting next to several old men, and you could see the conspicuous tattoos on his arms, as well as the undried blood stains on the tattoos.

Bai Sha just glanced at the man casually, and was glared at fiercely by the man with a full face of flesh. Bai Sha naturally didn't fear the other party, but he didn't continue to look at each other and continued to walk his own way.

Walking past the young man, in the corner of a wall, Bai Sha saw a monk. The monk's face seemed to be disfigured, and he also had one broken arm, and the other one-arm was holding a clay bowl, begging with blank eyes.

Bai Sha did not show kindness to the one-armed monk, but continued to move forward.

In the nearest place near the market town, an old man with a little girl was selling straw sandals, the clothes on the old man's body were all torn, the little girl was slightly better, but the clothes she was wearing were very old, but the little girl's two eyes were very clear, and she looked at the white sand on her face, and the white sand also saw the little girl, and then smiled kindly at the little girl.

Compared with Luzon, which is not far away, it looks very dilapidated, and Bai Sha does not understand that these people live in such poverty, even if they beg, they have to go to rich places to beg, what is the harvest here and there?

"Sandals, ten cents a pair of ......," the little girl shouted in a milky voice.

Bai Sha, who did not give alms to the one-armed monk, was very interested in his grandfather and grandson, so he walked in the direction of the two, Bai Sha is now wet on the thighs of the trousers, and there is a disadvantage of riding a spiritual pet, that is, half of the body is always soaked in water.

Bai Sha's soaked trousers do not affect the clothes that Bai Sha is wearing are still noble, at least compared to the two grandfathers and grandchildren, Bai Sha naturally will not throw away his shoes to buy a pair of straw sandals, but it is still okay to help the grandfather and grandson by buying straw shoes.

After Bai Sha walked in and squatted down, the little girl's eyes naturally saw the shoes Bai Sha was wearing, and she was a little scared to speak, in the little girl's heart, she thought that people who could wear shoes of this texture were rich people, and rich people would not be kind to them, they would only bully the poor people.

Looking at the little girl with a scared look in her eyes, Bai Sha smiled and said, "Little sister, how old are you?" ”

Bai Sha wanted to just ask casually in good faith, but he didn't expect the old man on the side to quickly hug the little girl inside, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "This young master, the granddaughter is still young, you can't beat her idea." ”

Bai Sha looked at the frightened grandfather and grandson, and said helplessly: "Uncle, don't be afraid, I have no malice." ”

The old man still didn't seem to want to believe Bai Sha, and continued to hold his granddaughter tightly in his arms. At this time, the little girl in her arms stuck out her head and looked curiously at the big cat dragging the child next to Baisha, and Nuzui seemed to say hello to the dragging child.

The towing child ignored the little girl, turned around and pointed the cat fart at the little girl, and the act of dragging the child made the little girl clench her fists.

Bai Sha ignored the child, but continued: "Uncle, I came from out of town, from the dock road, through the bluestone road, I saw many poor people, I wonder if I have come to the wrong place. If it's convenient for you, can you tell me about this market town? ”

The old man looked at Bai Sha's soaked trouser leg and believed what Bai Sha said. Only then did he release his granddaughter from his arms and said slowly: "As long as this son doesn't beat my granddaughter's idea, I will tell my son everything." ”

The granddaughter who had just been released from her arms took the initiative to stretch out five fingers, and after making sure again, she said to Bai Sha: "Big brother, I'm five years old this year!" ”

Bai Sha looked at the cute little girl with a smile and nodded.

The little girl then said tentatively, "Big brother, can I touch this cat?" ”

Bai Sha was very refreshing, carrying the back of the child's neck and placing it directly in front of the girl. The little girl cheered, tried to touch the cat, and then began to pet the cat alone.

It can be seen from the eyes of the dragged child that it is extremely reluctant to be touched by someone other than Baisha, but it is forced by Baisha's obscenity, so it has to obey.

The old man looked at his granddaughter on the side and shook his head, and then said helplessly: "I still love to play so much, and I am not afraid of life." ”

Bai Sha just smiled and didn't speak.

After making sure that Baisha was not a bad person, the old man pointed his finger in the direction of the market town, and said slowly: "Childe doesn't know, this market town is indeed poorer than other market towns close to Luzon, but these have only changed recently, and our market town was still good before." I think Childe went ashore in this direction, and the dock that Childe said was already dilapidated, and now the dock is in the other direction of the market town, where only rich people can live. ”

Bai Sha looked in the direction pointed by the old man, and then said, "Uncle, just now you said that this town only began to become poor during this time, why is this?" ”

The old man sighed and said: "This market town used to produce a young talent, who worked under Lord Li Dan, this town regards this young talent as the capital of the glorious lintel, and that young talent also cares about this market town and has done a lot of things for the town." But not long ago, I don't know what happened, it seems that I was punished by Lord Li Dan, and I returned to the market town. The people in the market town are like this, when you have the ability, everyone lifts you very high, and when you don't, they will trample you to death. What was once a young talent is now a middle-aged man who sleeps everywhere on the street, and life is ......"

The old man continued: "Since he was punished by Lord Li Dan, there have been fewer people who have come to this market town to do business, and many resources have also been lost, and the market town is getting worse day by day. ”

Bai Sha interjected: "It will become so poor in such a short time? ”

The old man said helplessly: "Childe may not know the difficulties of the people at the bottom. You see, even the beggars can't ask for more than two taels of silver after no one comes. As for the originally wealthy, it was not affected......"
