Chapter Forty-Six: The Mole of Yin
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, most of Bai Sha's injuries had recovered, and there was no problem at all with his free movement.
Things are going according to schedule on the fleet, and when everything is taken care of, it's almost time to move on.
After Bai Sha was able to move around freely, he wanted to go around the island, and these days he really panicked, and he wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet the sloppy old man.
The brothers who died in the Battle of the Wind and Thunder Hall that night were buried by the crew on the opposite side of the island, and since then they have been buried in the ground, and Bai Sha is ready to go to see them, bring good wine and prepare to go. Du Ju, who was heavily armed, followed behind as a bodyguard.
Bai Sha walked off the convoy with his hands, and it was still a long way to the opposite side of the island, and he couldn't get there for a while.
The two of them walked into the bustling island again, and there was an avenue on the island, and from early in the morning there were countless people setting up stalls to sell things. There is a wide variety of things for sale, but Baisha is not very interested in it.
Bai Sha walked on the avenue, looking for the existence of the sloppy old man from time to time, but since he got off the boat that day, the sloppy old man seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of him again.
The crew members of the fleet will also meet from time to time and greet Bai Sha respectfully, and it just so happened that Bai Sha actually ran into Zheng Zhilong and Li Qiaoer.
Zheng Zhilong was drinking tea in a tea shop, while Li Qiaoer ran not far away, as if she was picking up some girl's household items such as rouge gouache, and she didn't notice that Baisha had arrived.
Bai Sha walked into the tea shop, asked for a bowl of tea, and sat down next to Zheng Zhilong.
"The captain is so Yaxing, he actually accompanied Li Qiaoer to buy rouge gouache." As soon as Bai Sha sat down, he began to make fun of Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said helplessly: "She has to follow me when I come out to do something, I have made up my mind, I won't bring Li Qiao'er with me next time I come out to do something, this girl can't walk when she sees rouge gouache." ”
Ordinary clay bowls are filled with ordinary tea, and they have a unique charm when drinking.
Bai Sha asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zheng Zhilong said with a sad face: "The sword of the first battle of the Wind Thunder Hall was broken, and I came out to find a sword to take advantage of. ”
Bai Sha felt uncomfortable now when he heard the three words of Feng Lei Tang, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic.
"I'm going to see my brothers who died in battle, do you want to be together?" Bai Sha said.
Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "If you want to find a satisfactory sword, it depends on fate, it shouldn't be possible to find it in a short time, I'll go with you to have a look and pay tribute." ”
After the three of them drank the tea and paid the silver taels, they left the tea shop, and no one disturbed Li Qiaoer, who bought rouge gouache.
When Li Qiaoer turned around and saw that Zheng Zhilong was no longer in the tea shop, she hurriedly looked around, and finally found a few people who were far away, and quickly put down the rouge gouache, and told the vendor to keep the rouge gouache that had been selected, saying that he would come back later.
It didn't take long for Li Qiao'er to catch up with the three people walking in front, panting.
Bai Sha shook his head helplessly and said, "Li Qiao'er, you maid is really bad, the captain only found out after walking so far." ”
Li Qiaoer, who used to be the captain's daughter, whispered: "First mate, I'm not a maid. ”
Bai Sha also became interested, and continued to ask: "Then tell me, you are not a maid or a bodyguard, why do you follow the captain all day long?" ”
Li Qiao'er was hesitant, blushing and not finding a convincing reason.
"Oh, I can see that you like our captain, and you want to make a promise, right?" Bai Sha laughed.
"No...... No, the captain should not listen to the first mate. Li Qiao'er's anxious tears almost fell, and after stomping her feet, she turned around and ran away in a huff, not following the three of them.
Looking at Li Qiao'er, who was leaving shyly, Bai Sha used his elbow to pestle Zheng Zhilong.
"You're a wooden man, why didn't you react at all?" Bai Sha felt that Zheng Zhilong was very boring like this.
Zheng Zhilong said: "It's better for you to drive her away, otherwise she will always cause criticism." ”
"Tut-tut, if you knew I wouldn't speak, let him follow you all the time!" Pak Sha Road.
Du Ju followed quietly and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
Cross this avenue and branch off several trails at the end of the avenue. One of the tree-lined paths leads to the opposite side of the island.
After the three of them walked along the tree-lined path for a while, their horizons gradually broadened.
On the other side of the island, there is a large open space, and there are no trees, but there are graves, which is a cemetery. On the edge of a large cemetery, you can see a small thatched house, which looks like it is inhabited by people.
The three of them found the grave of the crew members who had died in the Battle of the Wind Thunder Hall, bowed deeply and poured drinks in front of the grave.
These crew members were all selected and approved, and they all died tragically under the hands of the head of the Wind Thunder Hall, and the thought in their hearts at that time was to avenge the first mate. In just a few days, grass has begun to grow on the small grave.
"Brothers, go all the way, I can't avenge you, because the murderer has already been killed by the other brothers that night. I will be your first mate in the next life, and you will still be my best brother. After speaking, Baisha bowed deeply again.
Du Ju took out the wine and spilled it again, and then took a sip of himself, his eyes a little moist. Du Ju, who was born in the military, is used to seeing life and death, and he is also disgusted with this kind of life and death parting, this sip of wine, salutes the dead crew.
Bai Sha took the wine, took a few sips, and then handed it to Zheng Zhilong.
Fresh lives, before they have time to share wealth with Baisha Zheng Zhilong, they live and die in a foreign land, they are the loveliest people.
Maybe one day, I will be buried on a small island.
The white sand turned to face the sea, and the endless vastness could not be seen.
The door of the small hut next to the cemetery opened, and a sloppy old man waved frantically to Baisha......
Bai Sha never thought that the sloppy old man lived in the hut next to the cemetery, no wonder he hadn't been seen in the past few days.
Bai Sha, who was looking for the sloppy old man, saw each other and began to walk towards the hut.
Du Ju placed the unfinished wine in front of the graves of the dead sailors, and followed the two of them with bows and crossbows.
The three of them came to the outside of the hut, and there were tables and chairs outside the hut, so the sloppy old man did not invite a few people into the house.
The sloppy old man, who was refused to join the fleet by Bai Sha, seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and began to stare at Bai Sha with interest again.
Bai Sha was furious when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Old man, there should always be tea if there is no wine, this is your hospitality?" ”
The sloppy old man ran back into the house and came back with a jug of wine in his hand.
"I don't have tea here, but I bought a lot of wine for fifty taels of silver." The sloppy old man looked at the wine in his hand with a reluctant expression, but he still filled it up for the three of them.
Bai Sha looked at the sloppy old man's buckle and said dissatisfiedly: "Fifty taels of silver bought a lot of wine, don't be so stingy." ”
The sloppy old man was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Xiaoyou doesn't know, although my family is surrounded by four walls, I haven't eaten the last meal, but the old man is a person who loves wine, and ordinary wine can't be looked at at all, but what I drink is the wine brewed by Sun Erniang herself, limited edition, to tell you the truth, I bought all the wine for fifty taels of silver, but there is not much, so I naturally want to save some drink." ”
Bai Sha nodded in understanding, then took a drink from the wine glass and said, "Full!" ”
The sloppy old man reluctantly continued to fill up, and did not forget to say: "You are really unkind! ”
Bai Sha didn't continue to waste the sloppy old man's wine, and said slowly: "Old man, I know that you are not simple, but our well water does not interfere with river water, why did you save my subordinate Qiu Tian that night?" ”
The sloppy old man didn't hide it, and said frankly: "The old man just happened to meet, I don't like the four lackeys of the Wind and Thunder Hall on weekdays, but the old man is not a bodhisattva, he can save anyone when he sees it, it's a pity to just watch a person with smooth muscles and points being beaten to death, hey, don't say it, the kid called Qiu Tian has a lot of backbone, and he swears to die." ”
Bai Sha looked at the sloppy old man carefully, and secretly thought that the other party was really not a simple character, he could save Qiu Tian lightly, and dared to call the head of the Wind Thunder Hall a lackey, it seems that the sloppy old man is also a person with smooth muscles, and he is a high master.
After the sloppy old man took a small sip of wine, he began to say with a cheeky face: "For the sake of me saving the life of that kid named Qiu Tian, just let me join the fleet." ”
Bai Sha frowned and said, "Old man, I know you are not simple, what is there on our fleet that is worth remembering?" ”
The sloppy old man said sincerely: "There really is, what I remember is ...... You. ”
Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but squirt a sip of wine on Bai Sha's face.
Bai Sha looked at the sloppy old man expressionlessly.
The sloppy old man smiled and shook his head to look at the white sand.
An old man and a young man stared at each other, but in the end, Baisha was defeated.
Following the sloppy old man's words, Bai Sha continued to ask, "Why am I worthy of your memory?" ”
Unexpectedly, the sloppy old man twisted, and said with some embarrassment: "It's a feeling, my feeling is very accurate." ”
This time, even Du Ju couldn't help but smile.
Bai Sha was so angry that he pointed to the sloppy old man's nose and said: "I have never been the only one Bai Sha who bullied people, and you old man actually dared to tease me, it's really ......"
The sloppy old man looked at the angry Baisha, and quickly waved his hand and said: "You kid is not happy, I don't agree to many people begging me to join their fleet, you are good, you dislike me again and again." ”
Bai Sha didn't bother to pay attention to this crazy old man, drank the rest of the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then buckled the wine glass on the table, meaning that today's wine was drunk here.
"Zheng Zhilong, Du Ju. Let's go, and listen to the old man's nonsense. Then he got up and left the hut.
The sloppy old man did not keep the three who left, but beckoned with a smile in the back and said: "Boy, don't you want to know the name of the old man, it can be very loud to show my name when you encounter danger." ”
Bai Sha didn't pay any attention to the sloppy old man talking to himself, and strode away without looking back.
The sloppy old man roared loudly: "Boy, you remember, my name is Yin Mole!" ”
Bai Sha's body was shocked!
