Chapter 30: The Coming Place
Da Biao lost to Du Ju when he was single-handed, but he was directly promoted by Bai Sha to the head of a warship.
The fleet set off again, and the white sand continued to cruise to each ship.
Da Biao was originally the helmsman of a cargo ship, and he was familiar with the matter of being at the helm. When he saw Bai Sha coming, he quickly dropped the rudder in his hand and ran over with a smiling face.
Bai Sha was completely immune to Da Biao's courteous smile, and said lightly: "How do you feel when you come to the warship?" ”
Da Biao rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "The size of the rudder is about the same, but it feels different, thinking about the artillery listed under the cabin, I feel safe and comfortable in my heart, and it would be great if I had the opportunity to use it one day." ”
Bai Sha said helplessly: "I don't want such a day, although you are all familiar with artillery and have tried your hand, but you lack the experience of four wars, if you are really said by your crow's mouth, there may be something wrong when you use it." ”
Da Biao said: "First mate, which man is not impressed when he sees that thing?" I'm going to arrange for the crew to polish him every day and be ready at all times. ”
After Bai Sha and Da Biao chatted for a while, another leader from the warship next door came, Du Ju.
Da Biao didn't want to see Du Ju very much, and he still remembered that he was deflated in the hands of the other party before, but at this time, the first mate was next to him, so he had to control his mouth and didn't speak ill of him.
Looking at Du Ju who arrived, Bai Sha said: "I was going to go to your ship, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." ”
Du Ju grinned: "I've met the first mate, and when I saw the first mate chatting happily, I came over to take a look." ”
Du Ju is different from Da Biao, he was originally an ordinary crew member, and he became the head of a warship through selection, which can be said to be a salted fish turned over.
In fact, Bai Sha has always had doubts in his heart, in the hierarchical structure of the fleet, capable people should be very prominent, why people like Du Ju will not show the landscape and endure loneliness.
"Du Ju, it was hidden deep enough before." Bai Sha quipped.
Du Ju hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of the first mate, it's really not important." ”
Du Ju still looks like a thin old man, but his spirit is much better than before.
Bai Sha said questioningly: "Why hasn't it been reused before?" ”
Du Ju hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "First mate, it's not that the previous captain is dead, I'm here to say bad things." I am also an old crew member, I have followed Li Xu to sea a few times before, before this I did not belong to this fleet, my original fleet was looted by Li Xu, many of our original crew members were killed, and the rest were all captured and became part of Li Xu's fleet, so they were naturally not reused. ”
Da Biao on the side looked up at the sky, his eyes dodging. Apparently he was one of the participants in this ransacking.
Du Ju continued: "I was originally an officer and soldier in Quanzhou, young and vigorous, and I was not allowed to take refuge in the form of a crew member if I committed a crime. I believe in the first mate, so I don't hide it, it's been almost ten years......"
Bai Sha patted Du Ju's shoulder, and did not continue to ask, but said, "I will keep it secret for you." ”
After saying that, Bai Sha turned his head to look at Da Biao, and the meaning was obvious.
Da Biao grimaced at Du Ju, "I, Da Biao, am not a stingy person, and I will keep it secret for you." But he still continued: "But, Old Man Du, the loess of your age is buried to your eyebrows, and I don't think it will take long to live, and it's useless to keep it secret." ”
Bai Sha pinched his temples, Da Biao's mouth was too poisonous.
Du Ju didn't bother with Da Biao, but said to Bai Sha: "First mate, to tell you the truth, it's only five out of thirty, but it just looks old." ”
I don't even believe in Bai Sha, there are indeed some people who are old, but those who are as old as Du Ju are really old!
Even Da Biao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and he didn't believe it. "First mate, let him go back quickly, it's full of nonsense, I really can't listen to it."
Regardless of whether the two believe it or not, Du Ju didn't explain anything.
Bai Sha saw that the time was about the same, did not linger any longer, prepared to go to other ships, and left after a few words.
Du Ju didn't want to stay longer, he and Da Biao were born at odds, so they left with Baisha.
When they came to the cargo ship, many crew members complained that they were too tired. Many of the escorted goods need to be dried frequently to ensure that they are not damp. This means that the workload on the cargo ship is much larger, Baisha is also a headache for this, this batch of goods is a relatively large transaction, this time from Quanzhou urgent, the crew is already small, and there is a lot of loss on the way, at this time the number of crew members is even more stretched.
All Bai Sha can do is privately promise that after the transaction is completed, the original negotiated remuneration will be doubled, so that everyone can work hard.
Bai Sha left the head-heavy cargo ship and came to the two warships behind the palace.
There is only one leader of the two warships in the back, that is Qiu Tian, and there is also Xia who is also arranged on the back warship.
Qiu Tiantian's personality was a little cold, and Bai Sha's arrival did not let it leave the rudder, and Bai Sha had no opinion on this.
Bai Sha came to Qiu Tian's side, looked at his peers who were about the same age as himself, and said with a smile: "Qiu Tian, it's boring to have a straight face for a day, you should smile more." ”
Qiu Tian looked at Bai Sha strangely and said, "First mate, who am I laughing at?" ”
"Laugh at me!" Bai Sha replied unashamedly.
Then Qiu Tian squeezed out a rather ugly smile.
"That's it." Bai Sha shook his head and said, he was really unlucky with this smile.
Bai Sha approached Qiu Tian and whispered, "Do you think your body is any different from others?" Or who did you learn martial arts from, and why did you fight so badly? ”
Qiu Tian looked at Bai Sha with some vigilance and said, "First mate, what do you mean?" ”
Looking at the other party's appearance, Bai Sha said helplessly: "Don't be so nervous, okay, I just felt the air flow coming from your palm when I was palming you, so I asked like this." ”
"You're also a person with smooth muscles?" Qiu Tian asked curiously.
Bai Sha didn't care about the title of 'you', but nodded to indicate that his muscles were smooth.
Qiu Tian suddenly said with some envy: "The first mate must have been born with smooth tendons and points, and there is no blockage." ”
Bai Sha said: "I was indeed born, aren't you?" ”
Qiu Tian's eyes were a little moist all of a sudden, but he didn't speak.
Bai Sha patted Qiu Tian on the shoulder and said, "There are some things, it's better to say them, but holding them in your heart will only make you more uncomfortable." ”
Qiu Tian calmed down and said slowly: "First mate, it's actually not a big deal to tell you. I originally had blocked tendons, which my master told me, but the master said that my roots are not bad, and I must not let the blocked tendons ruin me...... I was so ignorant that I didn't know what Master was talking about. ”
"Until one day, Master gave me a bowl of medicine, and then I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up, Master had already collapsed beside me, bleeding from the seven orifices......
Qiu Tian wiped away the tears that were crumbling from the corners of his eyes and continued, "Master left nothing, not even a note. Master was an ordinary fisherman when he was alive, but he liked to talk nonsense that I didn't understand when he was drunk, but he often muttered that I would go to sea in the future, and I think this was also a last wish of Master. ”
"From the day Master left, I felt the changes in my body, I could see farther and hear more clearly, the people around me who bullied me could no longer beat me, I knew that Master helped me open up my tendons, and I also paid the price of my life for this."
Bai Sha quietly listened to Qiu Tian's past, and thought of the old fish in his heart. After careful calculation, Lao Yu can also be regarded as his master, Bai Sha felt a little empathy, looking at Qiu Tian who was immersed in sadness, and didn't know how to comfort him.
Qiu Tian took a deep breath, his face became a little resolute, and said: "I will fulfill Master's last wish, since I have gone to sea, I will do something and get ahead!" Then build a big tomb for Master. ”
"You were recruited by the captain himself?" Bai Sha asked.
Qiu Tian nodded and said, "It was the captain who personally came to my residence to pick me up, and he knows the master." ”
Bai Sha thought to himself, Zheng Zhilong, this kid knows a lot of people.
"Your master will take care of you in heaven, and you will definitely get ahead." Bai Sha said.
"Thank you, first mate."
Bai Sha has met three people successively, needless to say, Da Biao, although he is unforgiving, but he is a kind person at heart, Bai Sha is not interested in his past.
Du Ju and Qiu Tian's life experience Bai Sha didn't expect that both of them were ill-fated.
Bai Sha let out a long sigh and sighed: "Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone." No one can decide their own birth, people born in poor families seem to be born to suffer and suffer, but I don't believe in fate, I think fate is controlled by myself, as long as I work hard, there will always be changes. ”
Qiu Tian looked at Bai Sha and asked, "First mate, your life should be fine!" ”
Bai Sha said with a smile: "If you want to say that your fate is good, maybe you were born with smooth tendons." Like you, I have a master, but I always only call him Lao Yu. He didn't care much about me from now on, I was an orphan, and going to sea was also arranged by the old fish. You see, after I went to sea, I first had a disagreement with the captain Li Xu, and then Li Xian also wanted to find trouble with me, and the road was not smooth. ”
Bai Sha thought of something and said in Qiu Tian's ear: "Let me tell you a secret, the vulture of the former captain Li Xu was really killed by me. ”
"Huh?"
Qiu Tian was incredulous and said, "Why? ”
Bai Sha recounted what happened that night.
As a result, Qiu Tian, who heard the cause and effect, said two words: "Kill!" ”
"Right!" Bai Sha laughed.
Qiu Tian also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, it was very good-looking.
————
Back on his ship, Bai Sha ignored Zheng Zhilong, who was at the helm, and went back to the house to lie down.
Bai Sha, who went out for a ride and came back, was full of emotions.
In the empty room, Bai Sha took out the red stone in his arms and said to the red stone: "Heart of the Ocean, Heart of the Ocean, did your soul fly to Captain Beauty?" ”
The red stone block has not reacted at all since it was inlaid on the square platform by the beautiful captain.
However, as if hearing the call of the white sand, the red stone gave off a little light......
