"Get up! Get up! What time have you been asleep ......?" said the old fisherman's voice early in the morning.

Bai Sha woke up and rubbed his eyes, it was still early, but the old fisherman began to urge him to get up. After putting on the clothes in a smooth motion, the old fisherman sitting on the stool began to take out the nets to dry, regardless of the old fisherman sitting on the stool. After finishing the things that he had set out to do every morning, Baisha stretched out comfortably. "Old fish, you see that my fishing nets are all out and the sun hasn't come out yet." Bai Sha was very dissatisfied with the old fisherman who yelled early in the morning.

Baisha usually calls the old fisherman "old fish", and the old fish has no opinion on this for so many years.

"The early bird has worms, and the young people need to absorb the vitality to appear vibrant." Lao Yu said.

Bai Sha retorted: "I can't absorb any qi if I don't sleep well, and the insects that get up early are eaten by birds!" ”

The old fish twisted his whiskers and smiled, "As far as your crookedness is concerned, then you should tell me whether you are a bird or a worm?" ”

"I am neither a bird nor a worm, I am White Sand!" After saying that, Baisha was ready to go out.

Lao Yu moved the stool in one direction and said, "Wait, don't go out today, wait for a guest to come here, you can prepare some food, and we will eat together today." ”

Baisha stopped, usually this small yard is the cleanest, he grows so big except for the neighbor's chickens and ducks will come here to look for it, and basically no one will come at other times.

"Old fish, do you still have guests? I don't believe it. Bai Sha remained skeptical.

"Don't believe it, you kid, when I was young, I made a lot of friends, but you don't know, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and cook!" The old fish said impatiently.

Bai Sha didn't bother to fight with the old fish, and turned around to prepare for cooking. Baisha, who hasn't eaten here for a long time, has also not cooked for a long time, and he seems to be a little clueless and doesn't know what to do. Although the two people in the yard often quarrel, Lao Yu rarely arranges for Bai Sha to do things, and of course, when needed, Bai Sha will do things well according to instructions and never refuse.

Take the basket and go to the yard to pick some fresh seasonal vegetables, humming a little song is very pleasant, and the old fish takes out a delicate pipe and starts chirping, and the clouds are full of mist.

Since the old fish said that he was a guest, Baisha naturally prepared some more ingredients, and after the preparations were done, the sun had risen so high, seeing that the time was about to reach noon, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and shouted outside: "Old fish, when will the guests arrive?" ”

The old fish took a sip and said slowly, "You can start the pot and boil the oil." ”

In a moment the kitchen was filled with smoke, when the courtyard door was pushed open and a young man entered. Lao Yu motioned to the other party to find a stool to sit down, and then the two began to chat.

The movement in the kitchen finally stopped, Bai Sha wiped his hands and was about to ask if the guests had arrived, but as soon as he saw the two people in the courtyard, he swallowed the words back. Both of them had their backs to the white sand, and the backs of the guests who came were somewhat familiar.

"Old fish, the meal has been prepared, please invite the guests to eat!" Bai Sha said.

Hearing the shouts of Baisha, the guests turned their heads suddenly.

"It's you?!" Then the two said in unison.

"You know?" The old fish said with some puzzlement.

The guest is none other than the beautiful man Zheng Zhilong. "Uncle Yu, we only met yesterday."

"Uncle Yu?" What is the relationship between this kid and Lao Yu, or was he followed yesterday, and today the other party can't wait to accept him as a little brother, and takes the initiative to come to the door? Bai Sha's thoughts turned sharply and said, "Old fish, this is the distinguished guest you said, you asked me to cook for him to eat?" Phew, sir, I've been busy all morning! ”

On his own territory, Bai Sha also became angry when he spoke, obviously unwilling to serve Zheng Zhilong.

"Don't be rude." Lao Yu continued to say to Zheng Zhilong: "Zhilong, leave him alone, go into the house to eat." ”

……

After the two of them sat down, Bai Sha reluctantly began to serve the meal, and then ate quickly, wanting to leave early, thinking that the road was really narrow, this kid actually ran to the house, and turned into a guest.

"How many times has Zhilong been at sea?" The old fish asked.

Zheng Zhilong was looking at Baisha and thinking about how to give some color, but when he was asked, he retracted his thoughts and replied: "Uncle Yu, Zhilong has gone to sea three times, but all of them are offshore, this time there are white sugar, Qi Nan, musk, and deer skins sent to Luzon and Japan, and now we are recruiting crews." My uncle said that I was inexperienced, so he asked Zhilong to visit Uncle Yu. ”

Bai Sha, who had eaten about the same amount, was about to leave, and when he heard the two talking about going to sea, he became interested, and Zheng Zhilong said that recruiting crew members is exactly a coincidence, and the road is still narrow!

Bai Sha listened quietly, not to mention Luzon and Japan, even the last time he went to sea, he almost couldn't come back if he hadn't met the heart of the ocean by chance.

Lao Yu said with a smile: "The old man has not been to sea for many years, I still remember that I went to sea with Huang Cheng brother a few times, each time I can say that it is thrilling, the sea is not calm, on the contrary, the prosperity of marine trade in recent years, most of the people who go to sea are for money, this person's heart is blown by the sea breeze so much that it becomes cold, so the most important thing to go to sea is to always be wary of people's hearts, and the so-called heart of defense is indispensable." ”

During this period, Lao Yu remembered the past and couldn't help sighing. When talking about the past, I unconsciously talked a lot about my sailing experience, and Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong also listened carefully.

Baisha has already looked at the old fish differently, and he can't imagine that the old fish that are usually unknown have also been beautiful.

Lao Yu got up and said to go get something, and asked Zheng Zhilong to wait in the courtyard. And Bai Sha could only wash the dishes.

Zheng Zhilong did not rush to the courtyard, but watched Bai Sha do housework like a little daughter-in-law. Bai Sha was uncomfortable by him, and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, and stay in the yard if you don't have anything to say." ”

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect to live with Uncle Yu, it's really a narrow road. I've forgiven you half of what happened yesterday. He continued: "How about it, did you agree to what I told you yesterday?" Instead of wandering around every day, it is better to go to sea to find opportunities. ”

Bai Sha wanted to go to sea for a long time, but not with Zheng Zhilong. In fact, there is still some restlessness in my heart, but if I go to sea with Zheng Zhilong, I will offend the other party only yesterday, and the other party will not cut off his skin when he goes to sea?

"Who told you I was wandering around all day? You were still peeing your pants when you went to sea! Bai Sha didn't want to deal with Zheng Zhilong, and washed the dishes by himself.

After Bai Sha finished washing the dishes, he went back to the courtyard and sat down, and Zheng Zhilong also sat down with Bai Sha. "You're my little brother, huh? Where am I going, where are you going? Bai Sha said helplessly.

"What did you two say?" The old fish walked out with something in his hand.

Lao Yu sat down and handed a dagger to Zheng Zhilong. "This was given to me by a Japanese blacksmith when I went to sea, and if you have any difficulties when you arrive in Japan, you can go to him, and his address is engraved on the sheath."

Lao Yu looked at Bai Sha, thought for a while and said: "Bai Sha, when you grow up, it's time to go to sea to see and understand, or if you are with Zhilong, I will ask him to take care of you." ”

"Who will take care of whom is not yet known, besides, I don't want to go to sea with him." Bai Sha stubbornly refused.

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Uncle Yu doesn't know, Baisha only promised me to go to sea with me yesterday, and he said that manhood is full of words." ”

"You fart, I didn't agree, I just said to think about it." Bai Sha retorted.

Lao Yu looked at the two of them, shook his head and said: "Okay, okay, I have lived in this courtyard for more than ten years, and I am a little tired, in time I will also go to sea, Baisha, you will go to sea with Zhilong, don't be willful." ”

Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong are both a little sluggish, and the old fish goes to sea?

"Old fish, I can also go to sea with you." Bai Sha said.

Lao Yu shook his head: "No, I have something special to go to sea this time, it is not beneficial for you to follow me, and I will not come back to this place." If there is a fate, we will meet in Japan. ”

"Zhilong, I will hand over Baisha to you, you have to protect him!" Lao Yu's words were a little unquestionable, and it also made Bai Sha feel that it was not a joke.

"Zhilong will definitely do it, please rest assured Uncle Yu." Zheng Zhilong assured.

The noisy yard was quiet a second ago, and in a short period of time, it was a situation of separation, and Baisha was a little caught off guard.

Didn't wait for the white sofa to ask. The old fish said, "I was entrusted to raise you, and this thing is almost done. Now that it is rumored that Zheng He's treasure map has reappeared in the world, it's time to go out and loosen your muscles. ”

Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles.
